The Beautiful Boy at Yokohama Crossing

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, there are still two days left before Yokohama Cafe Dabi.

As the time for the coffee competition draws closer, the store manager gradually suffers from pre-competition anxiety.

Inside the store, the young man was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Holding the newly replaced coffee pot, Yayoi had no choice but to tactfully persuade, "The store manager...you are more considerate than a courteous bullfly."

"Jiu Gu~"

The quetzal caught on the bracket let out an echoing cry.

"What do you know!"

Yuuki Ryo, who stopped in front of the glass door, immediately glared at them.

Withdrawing his gaze, he looked at his own reflection on the glass sadly and melancholy, "Look at this young man, he is handsome and talented, but why does something happen to him every final?"

While grinding coffee beans, Yayoi whispered,

"Maybe it's because you don't have any character?"

"..."

So angry :)

Yuuki Ryo was powerless to refute this.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

"Dingling~jingling~"

Yuuki opened the phone cover with one hand, and the caller showed that he was a coffee bean dealer.

Abandoning the unhappiness just now, Yuuki Liang's mood immediately jumped up, and the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.

After answering the phone, a girlish voice came from the opposite side, "The beans you want are here, come and get them now, and you can get an extra catty for free."

This is a surprise!

Yuki Liang was so excited that he wanted to jump up, "Really?! I'll be right away!"

"The store manager?" "Jiu?"

Both cast questioning glances at the same time.

"This is my secret weapon,"

Yuuki Ryo looked confident, and gave the two thumbs up, "Wait, I will definitely win the championship with this!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly grabbed the coat that was placed on the sofa and left quickly.

One person and one bird in the store looked at each other in puzzlement.

···

The coffee shop has a big score for three days, with a total of three games.

The first is the preliminaries. The preliminaries will comprehensively judge the operation, decoration, hospitality and other aspects of the coffee shop. Only qualified coffee shops will be eligible for the competition.

The second is the designated brewing competition. The organizer specifies a type of coffee, and the contestants will brew according to the process, and the judges will enter the next round.

Finally, there is the free brew competition, where contestants brew their own favorite coffee, but usually the winners are those who have innovated to a certain degree with coffee.

The above-mentioned competitions can be completed in the first two days, and the last day is used for the 'Battle of Kings'.

The one with the highest score this year competes for the throne with the top three with the highest score over the years to determine this year's number one.

The top three with the highest scores over the years are eligible for exemption and can directly enter this year's "Battle of Kings".

As one of the top three with the highest ratings over the years, Weique Coffee Shop naturally has the qualification to directly enter the "Battle of Kings".

So for Yumura, there are still three days before the official competition, and this time is enough for him to improve the coffee formula.

The coffee bean seller is one of the materials he needs for improvement.

No wonder he was so excited.

Yuki Liang drove to the delivery place with ease.

After taking a closer look, I found that the delivery person had changed.

Two people stood in front of the supermarket, one was a girl wearing glasses, the other was a blond man in a suit.This is the duo that survived in Yokohama, working part-time jobs for money.

The man held a brown plastic bag in one hand, which must have contained the coffee beans he bought.The other hand is also holding a plastic bag, but judging from the exposed part of the plastic bag...is it a pot?

Yuuki tilted his head in bewilderment.

I understand buying pots, but why buy so many?

Pot collector?Pot lover?Buy it back and give it away?

No no no... can't think about it anymore, it's too rude.

Yuuki shook his head, shaking off the wonderful thoughts that kept spreading in his mind.

He tidied up his clothes, put on an approachable smile, and stepped forward, "I'm Yuki, may I be an employee sent by Asada-san?"

The blond man, who seemed more dominant, didn't speak, and the girl standing next to him had to come out to make a rescue.

Luisa was a little nervous, and her personality seemed to be introverted and quiet.

Maybe she doesn't communicate with people often, her voice trembled, "Yes, these are your coffee beans."

The blond man, Francis, didn't respond at all.

His eyes are erratic, and he looks absent-minded and wandering away.

This person is so tall, maybe 1.9 meters...you have to look up.

Although there was an inexplicable feeling of envy and jealousy towards the tall man, Yuugi stretched out his hand in front of him with a good temper, "This sir?"

Francis seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and he handed the plastic bag to Yumura.

But when Yuki Liang gently pulled the plastic bag, he closed his fingers, his knuckles were raised, and he didn't let go.

The gray-blue eyes glanced at the silver chain hanging around Yukura's neck, and asked inadvertently, "Sequence C-01?"

Yugi Liang's heart trembled, but his face remained calm, a little bit confused in the calmness, and his acting talent was excellent.

He repeated Francis' words, "Sequence C-01, what's that?"

When he saw the coffee bag in Francis' hands, the young man seemed to think of something, and there was a smile in his voice, "Could it be the coffee beans newly named by Asada's family?"

Francis and Yumura looked at each other for a long time, the scrutiny in Francis' eyes and the smile in Yumura's eyes did not change at all.

The two remained in a stalemate for a while, and their subordinates secretly exerted force.

But one can't be strengthened without money, and the other doesn't use black mist to strengthen it, only relying on the strength of the body itself to resist.

The plastic bag screamed miserably.

For a moment, under Luisa's worried eyes, Francis pulled back first.

"……no."

"It's just a slip of the tongue."

The smile on the corner of You Muliang's mouth faded a little, and he said in a soft and uneven voice, "Be careful in the future."

"Misfortune comes out of your mouth. If you say one wrong word one day, you may lose your job."

It was hard to tell whether it was a casual sentence or a deliberate threat and warning in the light and fluttering words.

"Thank you Asada-san for me."

Yuuki Liang nodded to the two, turned and left.

Francis behind him maintained his original posture, looking at the young man's back, he recalled the past in a trance.

Francis is no stranger to rags-to-riches, the first rags-to-riches encounter with Sequence C-01, a second rags-to-riches encounter with Moby Dick.

This is the third time building from scratch.

After the death of his daughter, his wife was once trapped in grief and fantasy.

When he was looking for a way to revive his daughter, a mysterious person sent the sequence C-01 to him.

The mysterious man said, 'This is a newly awakened person with powerful supernatural powers.His power is enough to fulfill your wish, but since he has just awakened, we don't know the specific effect... Now we need testers to help us complete the test, you can choose to be one of the testers, or you can refuse. '

He did not investigate the mysterious person in a hurry to go to the doctor, but immediately chose to accept it.

The black-haired amber-eyed child stood in front of him, and white mist radiated from him in circles, while black mist surrounded the two of them alone.

The child's eyes were full of gentleness, and he told him that even if he and his wife were sacrificed, the wish of resurrecting his daughter would not be fulfilled.

He advised him to ask instead, for example, how to be resurrected.

The whiteness of the child's robe became darker, and the mountain of wealth he placed around him also disappeared in an instant.

"Let's go find the book. Take the white tiger as a guide. The blank book located in Yokohama is your only hope."

"Also please be careful not to hurt innocent people."

The departure of the mysterious man and the child was as sudden as their appearance, and when he gave all his riches in return, they disappeared.

And he regards this sentence as the only life-saving straw, and keeps moving forward with this goal.

After several years of searching, he finally found the 'White Tiger', but in the end the White Whale was destroyed by the Black Lotus because of the implementation of the emergency plan.

……is it my fault?

Francis looked down at the blue sky.

The voices and smiles of his wife and daughter emerged intertwined in the blue sky, as well as the broken Yokohama seen from the white whale.

···

What Francis didn't know was that after he finished the test, the children were brought back by the mysterious man into the closely arranged glass doors one after another.

The child sat in the corner with his legs crossed as usual, but the difference was that his eyes had an unprecedented light.

The child lowered his head, letting his bangs cover his face, and also his eyes that gradually rose and changed.

His body was trembling slightly, and he had no choice but to lean his back against the glass wall, hoping to reduce the burden on his body.

On the other side of the glass wall was a young man with emerald green hair.

The boy has long pointed ears like the legendary elves, emerald green curly hair cascading down like waves, and the long hair reaches his waist.

He tilted his head slightly, closed his eyes, and casually sat on the ground leaning against the glass wall, in stark contrast to the child who lowered his head.

The child was buried on his knees, and a muffled sentence came from it, "Mountain God, I saw me."

The boy's fingers resting on his legs trembled slightly.

He opened his lips and said, "Don't you see you every day?"

The young man's voice was melodious, like broken jade and the cry of a phoenix.

The child laughed softly, "No, what I saw was another me."

"It's me who is stronger and prouder than I am now."

"He has someone he loves, and he also has someone who loves him. Although we haven't fulfilled our dreams and are still restricted and imprisoned, he is living happily..."

The child raised his head, and the boy and the boy leaned back to each other through the glass.

"I've decided...

In order not to obliterate his existence, I will try my best to live no matter what. "

The child gave a big smile, although no one saw it.

Amber almond eyes clouded with moisture,

"Rejection is hard, it's painful, and killing people is hard...but it's not overwhelming."

The boy's body was also trembling slightly, he responded,

"Ah."

"I think I saw you too."

"Ah."

"To survive."

"Ah."

The child pouted.

——Do you only know 'um'?

But soon, he didn't have the heart to think about these miscellaneous things.Rejection was consuming his physical strength, and with the passing of physical strength, the child gradually fell into a semi-consciousness.

At the end before coma, he uttered the first and possibly the last willful words in his life, "Stay with me all the time."

The boy's thick and long eyelashes flicked open a gap.

Peering through the gap, the black pupils are bottomless, but there is a stream of light passing through them, flashing away.When they look at each other, they will find that these eyes seem to carry the thickness and vitality of the entire mountain forest.

"……Um."

···

Tails Coffee Shop.

Yumura returned to the store, grabbed the cuckoo and rubbed it, which seemed to wash away the bad luck of the contamination on his hands.

He held the quetzal in both hands, put his face on the quetzal's chest, and took a breath amidst the quetzal's delicate and soft resistance, "Cuijiang~ You don't even know what I just encountered..."

"A person who feels very, very annoying..."

"Jiu Gu~"

--Um.

The cuckoo's dead fish eyes had already lost the strength to fight and gave up saving his messy feathers.
