The Daily Life of Ultimate Creatures in Tokyo
Chapter 52: Hope of Becoming Human Again
Bai Ge's pua to the store manager was just a small episode. As everyone arrived at their posts one after another, the store quickly returned to its normal operating mode.
Since Dong Xiang was played badly by Bai Ge, Bai Ge naturally took over Dong Xiang's position and became a waiter.
Because Bai Ge is handsome and has a good eloquence that can even fool the store manager, those customers who originally came to the store to order only a cup of coffee basically ordered a lot of things.
The sales revenue this morning alone is equivalent to the entire day's revenue.
There were also some older sisters and some uncles who gave handfuls of tips, just asking Bai Ge to stay with them for a few more seconds so that they could appreciate this new handsome boy.
Seeing Bai Ge handling things so effortlessly on his first day at work, and even improving customer satisfaction, everyone in the store was somewhat dumbfounded.
Gu Jianyuan brewed more than a dozen cups of coffee and made countless sandwiches and desserts. Just when he had a chance to catch his breath, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Oh my, Xiaobai is really popular. I guess after today he'll become the living signboard of the Anting District."
Upon hearing this, the store manager smiled his signature amiable smile. "Haha, that's good, but I feel like we're a little short-staffed. Yuan'er, notify Sifang and ask him to come help."
As time went by, groups of customers came and went. Until noon, even with the help of Renji Shikao and the newly awakened Touka, and even though everyone in the store was a ghoul with extraordinary physique, it was really unbearable.
So the store manager decided to temporarily stop business, let everyone take a break and have something to eat, and resume business in the afternoon.
The store manager's decision was naturally unanimously agreed upon by everyone in the store, but those customers who had been waiting for a long time for a table only to be told that the store was temporarily closed were not so happy.
However, these guests who wanted to ask for an explanation were not a problem at all for Bai Ge.
He just went out and put on a smile and said a few words, and gave each person a small dessert that Irumi Kaya had just made as an apology, and the problem was perfectly solved.
Until the last customer sister left contentedly with the dessert brought by Bai Ge, Jinmu hurried over to flip the sign, and then sat down on the ground to rest.
The others were no better. They didn't even want to move. Some sat, some lay down, and just rested where they were.
In contrast, Bai Ge acted as if nothing had happened. He found a seat, sat down and started counting the tips.
This little bit of physical exertion was no big deal to him, and the tips also made him feel the pure happiness he had not felt for a long time.
After working together this morning, Jinmu was completely conquered by Bai Ge's business ability. He put aside his grudges, sat opposite Bai Ge, and kept praising Bai Ge.
Bai Ge counted the money cheerfully, then looked at the exhausted people lying on the ground and couldn't help but complain, "Everyone, we are ghouls after all. We've only been working all morning, so we shouldn't be so exhausted, right?"
Everyone heard Bai Ge's complaints and wanted to refute him, but they didn't know how to start.
Because Bai Ge not only acted as a waiter this morning, but later he even helped with making coffee, desserts, sandwiches, and cleaning utensils. He was indeed the one who contributed the most.
"Oh, it's good to be young. You always have endless energy." Gu Jianyuan sighed again.
"Haha, you still have the energy to chat. It seems you are not tired yet." Irimi Kaya, who was wiping the cups, kicked him unhappily.
"Hurry up and wash these cups. We need them in the afternoon!"
"Yes yes~"
Gu Jianyuan responded, then stood up and started washing the cups.
The store manager said at this time: "We've been busy all morning. Everyone, take turns going upstairs to eat. Bai Ge, you go first."
"I won't go upstairs, Xiao Dongxiang~" Bai Ge waved his hand after hearing that, and then gave Dongxiang a look.
Dong Xiang, who was resting, heard Bai Ge calling her, sighed helplessly, and then got up and went out.
After a while, under everyone's curious gaze, she returned to the store carrying a large bag of fresh tomatoes.
Seeing that Dong Xiang bought so many tomatoes at once, Bai Ge was very happy. He immediately picked out a few of the largest and fullest ones, washed them at the bar, and then started eating them happily.
"Hmm~ Fresh! It must be the new stuff that arrived this morning! Dong Xiang is doing great, keep it up!"
Bai Ge ate tomatoes proudly, not knowing how scary his action looked to the ghouls and Kaneki.
Even the store manager, because he sent his daughter away when she was still a baby, did not know that natural half-ghouls could eat human food.
Fortunately, Touka discovered everyone's doubts in time and explained to everyone the difference between natural half-ghouls and ordinary ghouls.
"I see."
"How happy! I also want to taste human food."
“Are tomatoes really that delicious?”
Everyone was talking about Bai Ge eating tomatoes, but Kaneki was the only one who said nothing, with his head down and his expression unclear.
Bai Ge glanced at Kaneki and roughly guessed what he was thinking. He carefully recalled the results of his previous tests, thought about it, and decided to give Kaneki some hope.
"Kaneki, theoretically, you can eat human food. Even ghouls can do this."
"what?!"
Hearing this, Kaneki suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Ge with disbelief.
At the same time, everyone cast complicated glances at Bai Ge because of his shocking statement.
"Huh? Why are you all looking at me like that? I came to this conclusion after doing some research."
Seeing that everyone was still full of disbelief, Bai Ge put down the tomato he was about to eat, stood up and walked to the center of the hall, and told everyone the conclusion he had drawn from the test he had conducted at Dixing Jiayi's house.
"In short, the exact relationship between RC cells, humans, and ghouls is still in doubt. But what is certain is that the culprit affecting ghouls' sense of taste and energy absorption must be RC cells. Strictly speaking, it is RC cells that exceed the threshold."
"For example, I can make the RC cells proliferate to the point where they can form He particles when needed, and when they are not needed, I can let the cells that exceed the threshold stay in the He particles."
"This way it won't affect my eating habits."
As he spoke, Bai Ge picked up the tomato again and took a bite. The aroma of fresh tomatoes gradually filled the room.
Although ghouls cannot accept human food in terms of taste, their sense of smell is actually acceptable.
Otherwise, why can some ghouls swallow food without batting an eyelid? No one can stand a pile of shit dangling in front of their nose, let alone swallow it.
"So, Kaneki, even though you and I are not exactly the same, you still have an advantage over the average ghoul."
"As long as you work hard and don't let your RC cells dominate you, but become their master and control them, you can eat whatever you want like me."
"Okay! I'll try my best!" Kaneki said firmly.
Bai Ge's last words completely inspired Kaneki's fighting spirit.
They thought that they would have to live as a "monster" in the dark for the rest of their lives.
However, Bai Ge brought him hope, the hope of becoming a human being again.
"Dingling~"
Suddenly, the shop door was pushed open and the doorbell rang.
The man was handsome, wearing a red haute couture suit, with short violet hair that was meticulously groomed. He exuded an elegant temperament like a nobleman.
"Ciao~"
Kaneki, who was sitting near the door, was about to tell the other party that he was resting, but he heard Touka calling the other party's name.
"Moon Mountain?"
