Without saying a word, he just left.
There was also 100,000 yen left behind by her on the table.
Looking at the money, Aoba turned her grief and anger into appetite, and resentfully put away the 100,000 yen.
Do they really think this place is a brothel?
Come when you want, leave when you want.
In the brothel, Aunt Meiqi would occasionally call the older women to check on them and offer her some comfort.
Unlike... her!
But wait...
its not right!
This isn't a brothel!
Aoba's head was almost sucked clean by Rize Kamishiro, so she quickly shook her head.
He pulled back the curtain to the kitchen and pushed open the wooden door as well.
Let the smell dissipate.
Although the strong-smelling foods all ended up in Rize Kamishiro's mouth or body, he still felt a bit awkward if the windows weren't opened for ventilation.
Outside the wooden door.
Moonlight streamed down, and starlight shone brightly.
This is a view that is rarely seen in the center of District 20.
"The weather is really nice tonight..."
Seeing this night view, Qingye breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I went up to the second floor to wash up a bit, and just now I came downstairs to clean and tidy up the area where the front desk and the kitchen meet.
Then, it seemed like new footsteps could be heard outside the door.
"welcome."
Aoba looked up.
She was a very beautiful girl, who looked to be about ten years old and was a high school student.
Those eyes made Qingye ignore the dust on the other person's body.
very nice.
It was like the moonlight streaming down from the night sky outside the door.
Clear and beautiful.
Aoba inexplicably felt a sense of tenderness.
There is also a faint sadness.
"Would you like something to eat?"
Aoba did not ask what happened to the other person.
He just asked the most frequently asked question.
The girl smiled.
"Can you get me two beers?"
It's still rare for girls to order two bottles of beer.
"Aren't you going to order something else? It'll be hard to feel comfortable just drinking."
The girl shook her head.
"no need."
Aoba didn't say anything more.
In the following ten minutes.
The girl drank her beer in silence.
After each sip, the girl would pause and space out for a moment.
As if thinking about something.
To Aoba's surprise, the girl could drink a lot.
She's nowhere near as good as someone like Kasumigaoka Utaha, who's just a half-baked talent.
Even though she had finished a bottle, the girl's face remained extremely calm.
There was absolutely no sign of intoxication.
Somewhat impressive.
Qingye took out a small plate and used tongs to pick up several pieces of braised food, duck meat, kelp, and lotus root slices.
It's just a very small plate.
Perhaps it's even the size of his palm.
Aoba was served to the girl.
"Drinking alone is very harmful to your health. Eat something."
The girl looked up at Qingye, then glanced at the braised food in front of her.
I smelled that fragrance.
Her throat bobbed slightly; she really wanted to eat.
"No, I'm not hungry."
"It's free."
The girl was silent.
After about two or three seconds, she looked up at Qingye and smiled.
Her smile was clean and radiant.
"Thank you."
Then, with great delight, I picked up a slice of lotus root with my chopsticks.
When you put it in your mouth, it tastes like happiness.
The girl's eyes reddened, and her breathing became more labored.
Late at night is a time when people are prone to feeling down and restless.
Countless people live a weary life in this city, hoping only to have some time left for themselves in the last moments of the night.
Aoba sighed, but didn't ask anything.
He quietly sat back down on the small stool by the door frame.
Occasionally, one or two heartbroken and lonely people would come in among his customers.
"Boss, if you keep the shop open this late, it will easily attract monsters."
The girl finished two bottles of beer and became somewhat more cheerful.
Aoba smiled.
Monster?
He's already seen it.
One of them, though disrespectful for his age, told a very good story.
The other one...
She is a very beautiful person.
"Compared to me, you should worry about yourself."
Aoba sighed and looked at the girl.
The school uniform was covered in dust, and it was obvious that the girl had been bullied.
"me?"
"I'm fine, I'm used to monsters."
The girl smiled.
Those clear and gentle eyes held a faint sadness, like moonlight.
"Did you have a conflict with your friends today?"
Aoba asked calmly.
The girl's eyebrows curved.
"They didn't believe I could see monsters, and they tried to pull me aside and beat me up, but I defeated them all!"
The girl's tone was somewhat proud, and she seemed quite happy.
"Is that so?"
"Didn't you go to your teacher or friends?"
"No, my teacher doesn't like me either, and as for my friends... they're not even human..."
No matter what, the girl always had a smile on her face.
Upon hearing this, Qingye sighed softly.
"Then won't you be lonely?"
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I'm alone."
The girl smiled softly.
"Whether it's a monster or a human, everyone gets lonely and isolated..."
