The Daily Life of Ultimate Creatures in Tokyo

"Dingling~"

"welcome."

The old man who was wiping the coffee cup heard the doorbell, put down the cup in his hand, and walked out to the bar to greet the guests.

Yoshimura Gongshan led Bai Ge to a seat and asked Bai Ge what he wanted to order while looking at Bai Ge with his eyes, which were often narrowed into slits.

He had noticed Bai Ge's unusualness since the first time Bai Ge came.

Smell, his smell is very unique. Whether it's a human or a ghoul, there are some similarities in the smell between the same species.

But this boy was different. His scent was different from that of humans and ghouls. Instead, it was a bit like...

It’s just that there were too many customers in the store last time, so even if Yoshimura Kousen wanted to find out, he didn’t have the chance. After all, he couldn’t expose the store because of his curiosity.

But this time was different. There were only him and the young man in the entire store. It was a rare opportunity to satisfy his curiosity.

He guessed that this young man might be of the same kind as Kaneki Ken.

"An Americano."

After Bai Ge placed his order, he handed the drink menu back to Fangcun Gongshan.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Seeing that Bai Ge only ordered a cup of coffee, and it was American style, Fangcun Gongshan felt that Bai Ge might be of the same kind, but just a little special.

Since the coffee products in 'An Ding District' are all hand-poured coffee, it takes some time to make.

Bai Ge had nothing to do anyway, so he took the opportunity to move to the bar and chat with Fangcun Gongshan.

"Mr. Manager, business in the store doesn't seem to be very good today."

Now is a good time to have afternoon tea. Given the reputation of 'Anding District' in the vicinity, there shouldn't be no one there even on a weekday.

Upon hearing this, Yoshimura Kozen gave a somewhat helpless smile and explained, "Because of the recent frequent activities of the 'White Potion' in District 20, everyone is afraid of encountering ghoul attacks, so they don't like going out as much as before."

"Oh, I see." Bai Ge nodded as if he suddenly understood.

"By the way, Mr. Manager, is there a clerk named Kaneki Ken in your store?" Bai Ge asked again.

When Yoshimura Kousen heard Bai Ge mention Kaneki Ken, he felt a sense of vigilance in his heart, but he did not show any change on the surface.

He asked, "Yes, Jinmu is indeed a clerk in our store. May I ask what you can do with him?"

Yoshimura Kousen knew very well that since the other party asked him right away whether Kaneki Ken was his employee, he must know something about Kaneki Ken, so he couldn't lie about this matter.

"Well, he and I were patients in the same hospital before. When I heard that he was working in this store, I thought of asking him how his recovery was going and whether he had come to work." Bai Ge gave the reason he had thought of long ago.

"I see." Yoshimura Kousen nodded, his guard slightly lowered.

While the two were chatting, Bai Ge's coffee was already ready.

In addition to these two things, Fangcun Gongshan also took out a jar of sugar cubes and placed it in front of Bai Ge.

However, the sugar cubes in this jar are not the normal white color, but reddish, similar to the color of brown sugar.

Seeing that Bai Ge seemed curious about the sugar cubes, Fangcun Gongshan explained, "This is our specialty red sugar cube. The flavor when added to coffee is different from ordinary sugar cubes."

"Guest, you can try it, but not everyone is used to the taste. If you don't like it, this cup is mine."

"Really?" Bai Ge raised his eyebrows, feeling it was a bit interesting.

However, as soon as he opened the can and smelled the odor, he immediately understood what this so-called "red sugar" was, and also realized that the store manager was testing him.

Bai Ge naturally kept this action a secret, pretending to be oblivious as he took out two cubes of brown sugar and stirred them into his coffee.

In fact, he didn't like adding sugar to his coffee, but he thought that this sugar should not be sweet.

When the sugar cube melted, Bai Ge picked up the cup and took a sip. The result was exactly as he expected.

It’s not sweet, but it does have a unique flavor.

Seeing Bai Ge drinking with gusto, Fangcun Gongshan already had the answer in mind. All that remained was to figure out why this boy had such a unique smell.

Looking at Bai Ge again, after he finished the remaining coffee in the cup, he pinched a sugar cube from the jar and put it into his mouth to chew it.

"Special red sugar cubes... Hehe, Mr. Manager, can you please stop these boring attempts?"

Hearing what Brother Bai said, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in the store manager's eyes, his kind smile gradually faded, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared, and his whole body exuded an extremely powerful aura.

Feeling the aura emanating from the other party, Bai Ge was not afraid at all. Instead, he raised his head and looked at him.

However, Bai Ge's left eye, which originally had a pair of distinct black and white eyes, had now turned into a scarlet eye.

"One-Eye!!!"

Fangcun Gongshan was shocked to see that Bai Ge had only one bright eye.

No wonder the smell is so unique! If it's One-Eye, then everything makes sense.

In his life, Yoshimura Koshin has seen three one-eyed ghouls, including Bai Ge.

He thought about it and realized that the smell of these three one-eyed ghouls was indeed very unique, and different from that of humans and ghouls.

He hadn't been able to confirm it just now because Bai Ge hadn't revealed his red eyes. But now, he could smell the scent that was unique to the one-eyed ghoul.

Yoshimura Kousen once asked someone to check Kaneki Ken's past and found out that Kaneki Ken was not a born one-eyed ghoul.

And the young man in front of him said he was Kaneki Ken's 'patient', could it be that...

New doubts arose, and since Yoshimura Kousen didn't want to fight with Bai Ge, he quickly restrained his aura, and his eyes returned to their original black and white appearance.

Seeing Fangcun's good deeds, Bai Ge also controlled the RC cells in his body to return to the herpes simplex, and restored his normal appearance.

"Now, should we have a frank discussion, Mr. Manager? You can rest assured that I have no ill will towards the 'Safe Zone'."

When Bai Ge first came to Anding District, he discovered the differences between the ghouls in Anding District and other ghouls.

The smell of blood on them was very faint, probably because they hadn't hunted for a long time, otherwise Bai Ge would have found the time to kill them here long ago.

"Of course. Please come upstairs with me."

Yoshimura Gongshan nodded, turned over the business signs on the store door and floor-to-ceiling window, and then took Bai Ge upstairs.

Before leaving, Bai Ge did not forget to take the bottle of "Red Sugar" given to him by Fangcun Gongshan.

This thing is second only to tomatoes and bread in terms of taste, and is quite suitable as a snack.
