"Of course, this is just a temporary solution. I'm sorry, I didn't think of the real solution."
Fangcun Gongshan's tone was very conflicted when he said this.
Ghouls can only eat humans, but humans refuse to be eaten. Because of this difference in stance, even though Yoshimura Kousen is an SSS-level ghoul, one of the strongest ghouls, he cannot think of any solution.
At this time, Kirishima Touka, who didn't want to see the manager in trouble, stood up and said:
"Manager, let's not talk about this for now. There are a lot of customers today. We should get to work."
As if to cooperate with Kirishima Touka's words.
As she finished her words, the sound of a guest pushing the door open came from the wind chimes hanging at the door.
Kirishima Touka turned her head and immediately saw a handsome teenager carrying a large white metal box and leading a cute pink-haired girl into the antique coffee shop.
And the handsome man carrying the white metal box is Luo Shu!
Chapter 49 Luo Shu's Evaluation Method
See Luo Shu carrying a white metal box.
Kirishima Touka and Irami Xuan in the store held their breathing for a moment.
At this moment, both of them thought of themselves, who represented the official organization in the world to hunt ghouls.
“...The person who carried the suitcase?” Kirishima Touka subconsciously became alert.
"welcome!"
Yoshimura Kousen's welcome voice interrupted Kirishima Touka's vigilance:
"What would you like to drink, sir?"
Listening to the store manager's words, Kirishima Touka suddenly realized something.
"Yeah, I didn't hear that the people who brought the box also traveled through time. It seems that they are all ghouls, so what am I worried about?"
Luo Shu walked to the bar with a white metal box, put the box beside his legs, and sat on a high chair:
"Two lattes and one mango mousse."
Kisara followed closely behind Luo Shu, and after glancing at Kirishima Touka who had an unnatural look on her face, "Nine-Eighty" sat down next to Luo Shu.
"Okay, two lattes and one mango mousse."
Yoshimura Kousen repeated the order, and then before making coffee, he looked at Kirishima Touka:
"Dong Xiang."
"Hi~"
Kirishima Touka quickly walked to the bar and took out the mango mousse from the huge transparent safe next to the bar, along with two knives and forks and two hot towels for wiping hands, and then handed them to Luo Shu and Kisara:
"Sir, the mango mousse you ordered."
After saying that, Kirishima Touka took a few steps back and subconsciously distanced herself from Luo Shu.
Seeing this, Kisara glanced at Kirishima Touka again, and then said to Luo Shu:
"Shu Jun?"
Luo Shu waved his hand and pointed at the mango mousse in front of him:
"Taste it."
"oh.."
Hearing this, Mu Geng picked up the fork, scooped up a small piece of cake, put it into his mouth and chewed it, his eyes suddenly lit up slightly:
“It’s delicious~”
After she finished speaking, she quickly turned around and asked Kirishima Touka:
"How is this made? Is there any secret recipe?"
Kirishima Touka was somewhat embarrassed by this question:
"You're welcome. It's just a common practice."
Then, Kisara didn't seem to listen to her answer at all, but quickly scooped off a piece of cake, held the fork in his hand, and handed it to Luo Shu:
"Come on, Master Shu, ah~"
Luo Shu ate the cake that Mu Geng fed him with a vague sense of habit:
“It tastes pretty good.”
Hearing this, Mu Geng's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile: "Then I'll go back and make it for you to try?"
"You're a couple..." Kirishima Touka looked at the two with a blank expression: "I just asked for the secret recipe just now, just to pave the way for me to 'make it for you to taste' later, right? Hehehe~~"
Kirishima Touka finally understood that these two people were not dangerous suitcase carriers at all, absolutely not.
On the other side, seeing the interaction between Luo Shu and Kigen, Ru Jianxuan relaxed her guard and prepared to turn around and greet other guests.
At this time, Yoshimura Kousen placed two round plates in front of Luo Shu and Kigen, and skillfully added two-thirds of hot milk into the cup that contained one-third of coffee.
"Latte for two."
With a smile on his face, Yoshimura Kousen placed the latte on the round plate in front of the two people and gestured for them to drink.
Seeing this, Luo Shu glanced at Fangcun Gongshan, picked up the latte, blew on it, and took a small sip.
"How does it taste?" Yoshimura Kousen asked with a smile, like an ordinary enthusiastic store manager.
"It's delicious." Luo Shu said frankly, "The mango mousse is also good."
Fangcun Gongshan was about to say "thank you for the compliment" when he heard Luo Shu's questioning words.
"It must be very hard for you to get to this point since you can't taste human food."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yoshimura Kousen's narrowed eyes opened slightly. Rumi Xuan, who had already walked for some distance, suddenly stopped. Kirishima Touka, who still had a relaxed look on her face, had an even more frozen expression.
The atmosphere changed quietly.
Becoming extremely heavy.
Luo Shu shook the coffee cup, took a sip again, and said calmly:
"The SSS-class ghoul 'Owl' Yoshimura Kozen, the SS-class ghoul 'Black Dog' Irami Xuan, and the other one, Miss Kirishima Touka, is also an S-class ghoul."
After hearing Luo Shu mention the ghoul's nickname and name, Fangcun Gongshan understood that the other party was coming for the 'Antique Coffee Shop'.
However, his only doubt now is that Luo Shu is from that force.
"who are you?"
Hearing Fangcun Gongshan's question, Luo Shu took out a certificate from his pocket with his left hand and placed it on the bar.
Fangcun Gongshan looked down and when he saw the contents on the certificate, his brows suddenly frowned.
'Deployment: Special Crime Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, surname: Luo Shu, rank: Superintendent.'
"Police? Someone from this world's official organization?"
Knowing that the situation had become serious, Fangcun Gongshan tried his best to use a kind tone to express his innocence:
"I don't know, Mr. Inspector, what do you want from a retired old man like me?"
Luo Shu uttered a word with a smile:
"Investigation..."
Inspection? Fangcun Gongshan suddenly realized and asked:
“I wonder what the purpose of this investigation is?”
Luo Shu looked at Fangcun Gongshan meaningfully at this time and said:
"Determine the specific danger level of the ghoul species."
"The danger level of the species..." Yoshimura Kousen's face became very serious: "If it is very dangerous, what will the Superintendent do?"
Luo Shu narrowed his eyes and uttered a word:
"Exterminate the race."
"You bastard!!" Kirishima Touka, who had been eavesdropping, couldn't help but take action.
The enemy has come with the intention of exterminating the ghouls, how could she just sit there and wait to die?
However, the moment she got into position, an indescribable feeling of chill rose from her tailbone and went straight into her mind.
The feeling of fear, as if being stared at by a prey, weighed on Kirishima Touka's heart, forcing her to shift her gaze and lock her eyes on Kisara.
At this time, the cute pink-haired girl sitting next to Luo Shu stared at Kirishima Touka with eyes as red as blood and smiled:
"Hey, Miss Shopkeeper, could you please not disturb Mr. Shu?"
"I can't move... this guy... a monster...! ! "
Fear continued to spread in Kirishima Touka's heart.
Kirishima Touka's sudden change made Rumi Xuan, who was trying to surround Luo Shu and the other person from behind, stop in her tracks, her eyes full of fear.
Just as the atmosphere between the two sides became tense again, Luo Shu suddenly tapped the bar with his index finger and said:
"Kisara, don't scare the store clerk."
"Hi~" As soon as the words fell, Kisara suddenly became non-threatening.
Yoshimura Kousen, who was standing by, looked at Kisara with a serious look. While assessing Kisara's danger in his mind, he turned around and asked Luo Shu:
"I wonder what the Superintendent's evaluation method is?"
Seeing Fangcun Gongshan being so sensible, Luo Shu smiled broadly in return and said:
"210 billion yen."
Fangcun Gongshan: "?!!"
"Huh?" Kirishima Touka was stunned.
Ru Jianxuan was confused.
The atmosphere became tense.
Chapter 50 Racial Danger Value
".....What does 210 billion yen mean?"
When saying this, Kirishima Touka herself did not realize that her tone had become much weaker. The curse of poverty weighed on her heart, heavy and suffocating.
"Yes, it is indeed difficult for you to understand if you put it that way."
Luo Shu folded his hands and supported his chin, smiling at Fangcun Gongshan:
"You ghouls should have your own intelligence network, right?"
"In that case, you should also be aware of the attack on the Beika Town Funeral Home."
"The funeral monopoly behind that funeral home provided us with 210 billion yen in political donations, hoping that we would solve the harm caused by ghouls."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Kirishima Touka was stunned when she heard this: "So, when you said the evaluation method is 210 billion yen, you mean 'protection fee'?"
When Kirishima Touka said this, she quickly took a look at the ID card that Luo Shu placed on the bar. She now seriously suspected that the ID card was a fake.
How could someone from the Metropolitan Police Department come to a ghoul to ask for protection money, and the amount of protection money is 210 billion yen.
Oh my God, she has never seen so much money in her life!
However, in response to Kirishima Touka's dull question, Luo Shu shook his finger:
"It's not protection money, but compensation given to funeral companies."
"In addition, all the bodies stolen from the Beika Town Funeral Home and Tokyo recently need to be returned, and it cannot affect ordinary citizens. Of course, I am not a bad person after all, and I will not force you to return the original bodies."
“What the hell…” Kirishima Touka was confused.
Let alone the funeral money, returning the body? This is simply a fantasy!
For the man-eating ghouls, the stolen bodies had obviously been digested. If they were asked to return them, they would be like robbing Peter to pay Paul. However, the inspector in front of him said that ordinary citizens should not be affected.
