If I don't quit, I will be forced to usurp the throne.

Teacher Mu and I agreed on the content of the transaction, and after finalizing it, he disappeared again.

I still study bartending at that bar, and Suzuki Ayako also comes to chat with me basically every day.She also invited me to dinner more than once, and I happily agreed, because the food at the restaurant where the other party invited me was really delicious.

Occasionally, I can still see acquaintances, such as my old friend Guangjin, such as other people in Black Lizard, such as Mr. Nakaya and his subordinates.

Mr. Nakaya seemed to know her. I thought carefully that the other party was Mr. Dazai's partner. It was normal to have seen the other party's strike-up scene, so I didn't ask much.

After half a month like this, I felt that I had learned everything I should learn, and I was ready to become a teacher, so I told this loyal and regular customer who has always been very supportive.

"I won't be here starting tomorrow."

"Why? It's also... because of me too?" Suzuki Ayako showed a bit of gloom, "Am I really annoying?"

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, realizing that the other party might have a psychological shadow after being rejected by Mr. Dazai, and quickly explained, "How is it possible! No, it's just that my career as an apprentice is over."

"It's like this..." Suzuki Ayako also showed a reassuring smile.

"Ayako, don't feel conflicted just because you were rejected once, you are obviously so good, you can definitely find another one." I teased.

The other party also smiled, then showed some hesitation, and asked tentatively: "Then...Xiao Qian, will you accept me?"

"...Huh?" I was stunned and spilled some of the wine in my hand.After a moment of silence, I asked suspiciously, "Is that what you mean by accepting... what I mean?"

"Well, that's what it means."

"Uh—" I pointed to myself uncertainly, reminding the other party, "That... I'm a girl."

Suzuki Ayako answered quickly: "I know, I don't care about this."

"...I'm only 14 years old?"

"I'll wait for you to grow up." Suzuki Ayako added, "I can afford you Xiaoqian."

...No no no!This is not right!The point is this!I'm sorry Mr. Ango, I was wrong!Your worries are predictable!Are the girls now so scary!Is it so easy to empathize with others?Or is it that a simple rich lady is especially prone to this when she wants to rebel? !Although I know I'm cute!Wait, could it be that I was used as a substitute? After all, more than one person said that I look a lot like Mr. Dazai!

I'm sorry Mr. Dazai!I thought you were too scumbag, now it seems that the other party is too tempted!Next time you strike up a conversation with a woman, I will definitely stay away!

"...I'm sorry, I already have someone I like." I tried my best to squeeze out a sentence, accompanied by an awkward yet polite smile.

Suzuki Ayako's smile suddenly froze on her face, she seemed a little disappointed, but she still smiled generously, "I was too abrupt, so Xiaoqian you just made up an excuse?"

The other party looked really sad, I was a little embarrassed, and felt that it was not good to say so directly, it was too embarrassing.After all, the other party invited me to dinner...and he is indeed a good person...

So, I made a decisive decision and replied seriously: "It's not an excuse, the person I like is..."

As I said that, I began to look around, and when my eyes finally fell on the red-haired boy who pushed the door in, my eyes lit up, and I pointed at the person who came and said, "That's him!"

"...Huh?" Zhong Yuan Zhong also came over and sat down in front of the counter with a puzzled expression on his face, "What?"

"It's nothing." I poured a glass of wine for the other party and handed it over, trying to hide the peace.

But Suzuki Ayako, who was silent on the other side, spoke at this time: "Are you Xiaoqian's favorite?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also just took a sip of the wine, and looked at me when he heard the words, and he looked at me for a few seconds before realizing it, and then he was choked.

"Cough cough cough cough... Hey! What the hell are you thinking?!"

I kept winking at the other party, hoping that he would cooperate: "No, Mr. Chuya, you don't understand. In fact, I have been secretly in love with you for a long time. This time I took the opportunity to confess."

"..." Zhong Yuanzhong also narrowed his eyes, and his tone became unfriendly, "I will really beat you up."

I showed a prepared expression, and my heart swayed, I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth and said, "If you agree to my confession after the beating, it's okay! Come on!"

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

I thought about it, afraid that the other party would be really angry and hit me up, opened my eyes and reminded: "Ah, but please be gentle. I'm still afraid of pain."

"...Shut up!" The other party clenched his hands into a fist and was about to punch him, but he thought of something, gritted his teeth and withdrew his hand, and punched the table bitterly. .

Suzuki Ayako, on the other hand, watched everything quietly, and suddenly showed a slight smile, seemingly relieved: "Thank you these few days, Xiaoqian."

She stood up, gracefully took out the money from her wallet and put it on the table: "This is the money for the wine, don't need to change it, take the rest as your tip, Xiaoqian."

"Please wait a moment!" I yelled at the other person's back, and when the other person turned around, I picked up the money on the bar and handed it over, "Take it back, I will treat you tonight."

Suzuki Ayako's smile was a little melancholy, her expression was a little gloomy, and she spoke with a bit of self-deprecating taste: "Is it because I troubled you, Xiaoqian?"

"No. I invited you only because you are worthy of being invited." I retorted with a serious face, and added, "And... thank you very much for liking me."

"...You're welcome." The other party came over, gently took the money from my hand, smiled at me, and Shi Shiran left.

"Go slowly." I waved my hand and said goodbye in a steady tone.

After the other party opened the door and left, Zhongyuan Zhong also frowned and looked over: "What's going on?"

I thought about my words and explained in the shortest words: "That big sister seems to have given her the illusion that after being rejected by Mr. Dazai, I treated her too well, and finally confessed to me."

"...The relationship between the people in your faction is too chaotic, right?" The shocked Zhong Yuanzhong also complained, and said angrily, "And then you plan to drag me into the water?"

"Please don't speak so harshly." I propped my elbows on the bar, rested my chin with both hands, looked in the direction of the door, and explained seriously, "Although I don't like her, the feeling that the other party likes me is still the same. Appreciative. I don't want her to have negativity or self-doubt or anything.. and she's a good person oh really. Hope she meets someone she really likes and the experience doesn't affect her too much , so that she can still have the courage to confess at that time."

Leaving aside the strange development just now, Ms. Suzuki is actually quite cute and worthy of a sincere liking.

Although it is impossible for me to like her in that sense, from a friend and purely personal point of view, I have a good impression of her.

Zhongyuan Zhong also listened to what I said, and looked at me with some surprise: "...you, you can see clearly at such a young age."

I was a little dissatisfied: "What, Mr. Nakaya, you are only two years older than me."

"But it's hard for the other party to give up when you look like this?"

"Yes. So..." I lay on the bar, leaned out from the counter and leaned over, stretched out my fingers and tapped the other person's shoulder lightly, "Mr. Chuya, please do me a favor."

"Huh?" The other party frowned, and his tone was not good, but he didn't refuse as before, "What do you want to do?"

I reached out to take off the other person's hat, covered the lower half of his face, and leaned over to form a dislocation that seemed to be kissing.

At such a close distance, I looked into the other person's eyes and saw the astonishment in the other person's eyes.

"Ah, finally left..." Realizing that the eyes of the person in front of me were dangerous, I carefully returned the hat and explained, "Just now I saw Miss Ayako and she turned back again, probably because she suspected that what I said was not dead Don't worry, that's why I thought of such a trick... By the way, Mr. Chuya, your eyes look purple when you look up close... Wow—"

……

the next day------

"Jianggu, are you injured?"

"Ah... this." I touched my forehead and nodded calmly, "Well, I was beaten by Mr. Chuya."

"……why?"

"Ah... I'm also a little confused." I frowned and complained to Mr. Hirotsu, "I just pretended to try to kiss him but didn't actually kiss him, and then the other party pressed my forehead against the bar , It hurts so much, look, it's all bruised."

Guangjin Liulang: "..."

After listening to my complaint, my Wangnian friend's expression became a little complicated for some reason, and he suddenly reached out and rubbed my head, sighed, but still didn't say anything more.

Then I was called by the leader.

I thought at first that there were separate missions to assign as usual.Unexpectedly, the first sentence after entering was a seemingly ordinary greeting.

——"Jiang Gu, you and Zhong Ye should know each other too, right?"

"Of course I know each other..." I was stunned for a moment, and after I realized it, I couldn't believe it, "Did Mr. Chuya come to complain to you?! It's not necessary! Could it be that he accused me of sexually harassing him! I'm not bad in appearance. , he is not at a disadvantage! And I didn't really kiss him!"

"..." Chief Sen maintained a smile and looked over.

I tried my best to prove my innocence, and said seriously: "I object! If that counts, I can sue Mr. Dazai for sexual harassment! More than once!"

"...Wait a minute, I'm not talking to you about this." Mori Ogai raised his hand to signal me to shut up first, and said slowly, "But we can talk about this topic in detail... Now let's get down to business. Next A mission requires you to go with [Double Black]."
