After arriving at the Antique coffee shop, Gao Yu’s mood was subtle.
The address arranged by the system was not far from the Anteiku coffee shop.
“Come in.”
Kirishima Touka pushed open the shop door and skillfully went inside to turn on the lights.
The soft lighting illuminated the coffee shop.
After Gao Yu entered, he swept his eyes around, taking the shop’s interior arrangement into his mind.
“It’s arranged pretty nicely.”
Gao Yu’s eyes lit up.
The furniture arrangement and other things in the Anteiku coffee shop looked comfortable, and the colors leaned toward an elegant style.
Kirishima Touka chuckled softly.
“Sit down. I’ll make you a cup of coffee.”
Kirishima Touka walked behind the counter and skillfully took out the tools.
Originally, she had only planned to let him sleep on the floor before leaving, but Gao Yu’s words had put her in a good mood.
Gao Yu sat on the chair in front of the counter, watching Kirishima Touka quickly make a steaming cup of coffee.
The girl’s slender figure and the movements of her hands possessed an indescribable elegance.
“Do I have to pay?” Gao Yu thought about it and asked.
Kirishima Touka’s movements paused, and she said speechlessly, “It’s my treat. No charge.”
Gao Yu propped up his face and looked at Kirishima Touka.
“…Is there something else?”
Her gaze made Kirishima Touka feel very unnatural.
Although she usually stayed together with humans at school, this was still the first time she had invited someone for coffee this late at night.
“Nothing. I just think Miss Kirishima is very kind.”
Gao Yu spoke meaningfully, holding the coffee and blowing on it once.
After transmigrating into a world where people were eaten, Gao Yu had not integrated himself into it.
To him, whether humans or ghouls, they were all unrelated existences.
After all, the original work was a world in an anime, but right now, this was a real world.
Gao Yu had not adapted to it yet.
Even after adapting, he thought that he would not take either side.
He only needed to honestly raise himself until he became fair and plump.
Why bother himself with so many things?
Moreover, Gao Yu had an evolution system, and his own body was continuously evolving.
He and the ghouls and humans of this world were not even the same species.
Whether you were a human or a ghoul, I would just live my own life.
“Kind…”
Kirishima Touka’s eyes flickered, and she gave a self-deprecating smile.
She was a ghoul.
How could she talk about kindness?
In the end, it was merely for survival.
She never denied her own evil.
Once she had already eaten them, what qualification did she have to talk about kindness?
Being able to live properly was already good enough.
Kirishima Touka looked at Gao Yu.
He was tall and large, with a relatively thin build.
There was not much sharpness in his brows and eyes, but his calm temperament made her sigh inwardly.
Sure enough, she should not get too close to humans.
Between humans and ghouls, there was only killing and hatred.
Gao Yu keenly noticed the emotions of the girl in front of him.
Her pursed lips and slightly lowered eyelids all showed that she was in low spirits.
It seemed that the current Kirishima Touka was not as strong as she would become later, and could be shaken by the words of a human.
In other words, the story had not developed yet, or perhaps it had not progressed to the Re arc.
By then, Kirishima Touka would already be strong enough.
Thinking of this, Gao Yu smiled and said, “That’s right. Miss Kirishima is naturally very kind. I was saved by Miss Kirishima. Otherwise, I probably would have been eaten by a ghoul in the alley.”
“I think this is enough to prove that Miss Kirishima is a kind person.”
Kirishima Touka took a step back and leaned against the counter behind her, her eyes widening slightly.
“I mean it.” Gao Yu smiled.
Her body temperature rose, and Kirishima Touka unnaturally turned her head toward the window.
“If you say so, then I guess that’s what I am.”
“Mm-hmm.”
Gao Yu drank half a cup of coffee and praised, “It’s delicious. Miss Kirishima’s skills are really good.”
Kirishima Touka took a deep breath, suppressing her accelerated heartbeat.
Under Gao Yu’s gaze, she quickly handed him another cup of coffee.
Putting down the empty cup in his hand, Gao Yu took the new cup of coffee, took a small sip, and gave a thumbs-up.
The corners of Kirishima Touka’s mouth lifted, and her mood improved considerably.
Although he was a human, it should be fine, right?
Thinking this, Kirishima Touka unconsciously brewed another cup of coffee.
Gao Yu looked at her strangely.
Under her gaze, he took a sip, not sparing any words of praise.
He had drunk two cups of coffee in a short period of time.
His stomach was full of coffee, and his mouth was filled with the elegant fragrance of coffee.
No matter how delicious it was, it shouldn’t be drunk like this.
But the faintly expectant look in Kirishima Touka’s eyes stabbed Gao Yu’s heart.
How could he disappoint the painstaking work of a beautiful girl?
Gao Yu braced himself and drank it down.
It still had that elegant fragrance.
“That’s enough, that’s enough. I’m almost full from drinking.”
Seeing that Kirishima Touka was about to brew another cup, Gao Yu hurriedly stopped her.
Kirishima Touka felt slightly regretful.
Although there were humans and ghouls who loved coffee in the past, they had never given her as much emotional value as Gao Yu did.
“I’ll taste Miss Kirishima’s skills again when I have time.”
Gao Yu genuinely could not drink any more.
Kirishima Touka tidied things up and said, “Then sleep here tonight. I’ll wake you up early tomorrow morning.”
She did not want to wake up late and see Gao Yu being eaten as food.
The vast majority of the customers who came to the Anteiku coffee shop were ghouls.
Maybe she should not let Gao Yu sleep in the shop.
It was too dangerous.
She could simply find a hotel for him to stay in for one night.
After sizing up Gao Yu, Kirishima Touka pondered.
Gao Yu did not look like someone who had money.
Kirishima Touka touched her wallet.
For one night, the burden would not be too great.
“Let’s find a hotel instead. I’ll take you there.”
Gao Yu was surprised and pointed at himself.
“Miss Kirishima is actually willing to help to this extent? Even though this is our first time meeting.”
Kirishima Touka narrowed her eyes slightly.
“Are you going or not?”
Gao Yu smiled and waved his hands.
“Thank you for your kindness, Miss Kirishima, but there’s no need. Actually, I live nearby.”
“?” Kirishima Touka’s eyes widened, and she said angrily, “Then why were you sleeping in the alley? Are you really not afraid of being eaten by a ghoul?!”
Gao Yu propped his chin up with one hand and smiled.
“With Miss Kirishima saving me, I wasn’t eaten.”
“…You guy.” Kirishima Touka clicked her tongue in displeasure.
“Miss Kirishima…”
“Just call me Touka. You look older than me.”
“Angry Touka is so cute.”
Touka stiffened and looked at him incredulously.
“Pervert?”
Gao Yu chuckled.
“I complimented you. How did that make me a pervert?”
“Anyway, you should go back.” Touka quickly pulled open the shop door, her face stiff, unable to explain what kind of emotion she was feeling.
“Haha, then I’ll come find you again tomorrow.” Gao Yu stood up, walked out of the shop, and waved at her.
Touka closed the shop door.
The sudden silence was like a cold knife, scraping against the emotions that had just stirred.
“Tomorrow…”
Leaning against the counter, Touka raised her head.
…
Following the address given by the system, Gao Yu soon arrived at his home in this world.
A small house, a self-built house.
Pushing open the door and entering, all the furnishings inside were in the style he had before transmigrating.
Picking up the phone placed on the table, Gao Yu lazily lay down on the sofa and opened the phone, becoming familiar with its operation.
It was entirely in Japanese, yet Gao Yu was as proficient with it as if it were his native language.
He could not help but sigh.
Big Bro System was indeed reliable.
Whenever there was a problem, it really solved it for you.
Unlike the novels he had read before transmigrating, where some systems had functions that seemed like a joke.
Our Big Bro System was still reliable.
Not only had it settled his identity, but there was also plenty of money in his account, so he did not need to work hard to earn money.
The property inherited from his deceased parents was enough for him to live peacefully for the rest of his life, as long as he did not spend recklessly.
After looking at the time, tomorrow was Saturday, which in Japanese was Doyōbi.
He happened to have no classes tomorrow, so he could go to the coffee shop to see Touka.
