New york city.

Outside the neon-lit streets, tourists and locals from all over the world continue to attract the world's attention as one of the world's economic centers and the site of the United Nations.

From above, the Manhattan River circulates around the city's urban streets, which are lined with high-rise buildings, and the Manhattan River, which flows in a circular manner. This city, known as "a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor", embraces the friendliness of outsiders and the devouring of money.

But not the entire city smells of copper, not in a quiet bar on the corner of the street.

There were no large numbers of young girls dancing passionately here, nor did they flash irregular lights that blinded people, only the silence of a library, and the three people standing or doing it inside.

Bartenders, customers, bouncers for customers.

Takuhisa hung up the phone with a smile, and it just so happened that the bartender had already mixed the wine Takuhisa had ordered and placed it on his table.

"Your tequila with ice. ”

"Thank you. Takuhisa took it.

When you drink it in one gulp, it has a cold taste and some strength.

"It's good, not much worse than what I drank in Ginza. Takuhisa praised.

"Thank you very much. ”

The bartender wiped his other glasses and bowed in thanks.

"Was Mr. Shihara talking to his sister on the phone just now?" asked the bartender.

"Yes, I haven't been in touch for months, and when I have time, I always have to make a phone call, don't I?"

"That's true, when I come to New York, I always find time to contact my family when I have free time. The bartender turned and placed the wiped glass on the table behind him.

It's a quiet and laid-back bar owned by a bartender who talks to Takuhisa, a neon guy who lives alone in New York and hails from Tottori Prefecture under the name Tamara Nakano. But to be honest, the location of this bar is also quite difficult to find.

If it weren't for Saito Nagaaki's recommendation, Takuhisa wouldn't know about it.

According to Nagaaki Saito, this bar also has a membership reservation system, and he happens to be a member of the bar.

"Mr. Nakano has been here for so long and doesn't want to go back to see his family?"

After hanging up the phone after chatting with Rino Tsuhara, Takuhisa talked to bartender Nakano Yu, Saito Nagaaki is not a person who can talk much, and Takuhisa will not be bored with himself.

"It's fine if it's just a phone call, but if I really go back personally, maybe no one at home will welcome me except my sister. A wry smile appeared on the corner of Nakano Yu's mouth, and a lot of information was revealed behind a gentle sentence.

Takuhisa didn't ask much, everyone has an unspeakable story behind them, if you have to break the casserole and ask to the end, it's boring and rude.

If others don't want to say it, don't ask more.

"I see. Takuhisa tapped his other hand on the wooden table, "I also had the experience of living alone from my family for a while, but my sister came to Tokyo alone before I got used to it, which made me feel very distressed. ”

"My sister always has to be tolerant, although my sister and I don't see each other much, but if she is coquettish to me, maybe I will be very happy. Nakano Yu's eyes wandered a little as she spoke, and she seemed to miss her sister who was far away from neon.

"Despite all the complaints, my sister is the most valuable asset in the world. Tuojiu, a senior sister control, expressed her extreme agreement, "Even if they are ugly or beautiful, flexible or clumsy, they are the only sisters in your heart." ”

That's the case, Changming's words must be very agreeable. ”

Nakano Yu pulled the topic to Saito Nagaaki, who was standing on the side with a blank face, and the relationship between the two seemed to be quite good.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Takuhisa looked at Saito Nagaaki in some surprise.

"Yes, this guy Changming used to stay in New York, and he only went out occasionally, until he heard that there were his relatives on Neon's side, so he immediately packed his bags and went to Neon, and I only knew that he had relatives over there on the message he sent, and that family seemed to be a daughter. Nakano Yu ruthlessly exposed Saito Nagaaki's information.

"You're a little wrong, you and the boss are both sisters, and I and Ah Sha are only cousins who have a little relationship at best. Saito Nagaaki corrected Nakano Tama with a blank face, because his expression was well controlled, and he couldn't see his inner thoughts.

"Even if it's a cousin, it's a sister, isn't it? Isn't it because it's not a sister?" Takuhisa retorted to Saito Nagaaki, "Whether it's a cousin or a cousin, you want to take good care of them, don't you?"

If he really says it according to the relationship, he doesn't mean Yuan Linai's brother, is he going to be expelled from his brother and sister?

After more than ten years of getting along, even if the relationship is confirmed now, he has always pointed out that Yuan Li is his sister.

Saito Nagaaki did not object to Takuhisa's opinion, nodded his head, took a small step back, and did not speak. The position and angle at which he stood could ensure the safety of him and Takuhisa, and they could be rescued in time when they were in danger.

"It's a bit strange," Takuhisa laughed suddenly, "A lot of the people I've met so far are people with younger sisters, and it seems that my parents' generation is really working hard." ”

"At that time, the economy was good, I was born before the bubble crisis, my parents thought about enriching me at first, and then my father was laid off, and the family relied on my mother to work, which was really hard. Nakano Yu shook his head and said, "Later, after I came here with good grades, I gave birth to my sister after I returned to work with a fixed remittance every month and my father." ”

"Pretty hard, right?"

"It's okay, it's just that it was a little difficult at first, it's not friendly to people of our color here, the slogan of equality and equality is shouted every day, but in fact it's only the dark-skinned ones who are protected. Nakano Yu's words were full of ridicule, and then he reacted, "I'm really sorry for saying something boring." ”

"No, no, no, it's a pleasure to hear that. Takuhisa shook his head, "I used to come here mainly for tourism, but now that I've really been here for a long time, I realize that it's really the same as Mr. Nakano." No matter how well it blows in China, it's not much better than our neon here. ”

"Creatures like humans are ugly in their own right, aren't they?" said Nakano with a smile.

"If it weren't for the fact that you're a bartender, I really want to have a drink with you. During the conversation, the cup of tequila on the table was also slowly drunk by Takuhisa.

"It's not impossible to do it outside of working hours, as long as you are willing to settle the bill for me, Mr. Hara. ”

"For everyone's sake, I'll do the same, won't I?" Takuhisa laughed.

The lights at the bar are dim, but they're soft.
