The next day, Osaka City, Nishinari Ward.

As one of the most densely populated urban areas in Osaka, the density of high-rise buildings in Nishinari Ward is much lower than that of the nearby Naniwa and Taisho districts.

"Tsukiyoshi, why don't you look good today, is it because you were tired from working overtime yesterday?"

In front of the cash register of a convenience store, the amiable uncle turned over the extra coins and asked the listless young man sitting across from him with concern.

His name is Tsukiyoshi Kamikawa, and he is an ordinary employee of the new headquarters of a certain Ni Co., Ltd. in Osaka; He lives in a rented house just a few steps away, and every day, no matter what the weather is or what the state is, he comes to the small shop every day, orders a bowl of affordable ramen, and leaves clean.

Over time, he established a friendship with the manager of the store; Today's Tsukiyoshi seems to be like this weather, with dark clouds and lifelessness, which makes people feel depressed.

"Huh? Well, yes, I probably didn't go to bed until three o'clock this morning, and then I got up again at six o'clock and went back to work. Tsukiyoshi seemed to be a little absent-minded, and he looked up at the store manager at the cash register, and the store manager was startled - his face was pale, and the dark bags under his eyes hung like dead skin, as if he had been punched twice.

"I said Tsukiyoshi, if you really can't do it, you can ask the company for a day off, the body is the capital of the revolution." Seeing Tsukiyoshi's listless and embarrassed appearance, the store manager was also frightened; He breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to speak in that earnest tone.

The ramen noodles that have not yet come out of the pot are thrown into a huge and plump egg; As soon as the eggs began to set, the manager scooped up the ramen noodles and placed them in a bowl – the amount of the ramen was significantly more than before, and there was even an extra nutritious egg.

"Eat, rest when you're done, you young people, you just like that."

The manager had something to say, and he brought the steaming ramen to Tsukiyoshi, poured in a little soy sauce, and gave him a pair of chopsticks; After doing this, the store manager did not rush to leave, but moved a chair and sat opposite Tsukiyoshi - at this time, he and Tsukiyoshi were the only two people in the store.

"You know, I'm sixty years old this year, and normally my children are now twenty-seven or eighteen, and it's time for them to start a family; If my children hadn't gone to Tokyo for work, I would have sat in the courtyard of my hometown and watched the cherry blossoms. ”

Speaking of this, the store manager couldn't help but let out a long laugh; Tsukiyoshi, who was "working hard", unconsciously stopped the speed of the chopsticks in his hand after hearing the words of the store manager.

Tears rained down, and the thin figure began to tremble slightly; The store manager's words just now seemed to open the door to Tsukiyoshi's inner world, and all the emotions that were suppressed in his heart were vented.

"Eh, what are you crying about, what can't you say well, look at you, how can a big man look like those little girls?"

The store manager is like a father, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart; Although he said something to reprimand Tsukiyoshi, his action of handing the paper to Tsukiyoshi did not slow down at all.

"Tell me, did something happen?" Seeing Tsukiyoshi take the paper, the store manager was also relieved, but Tsukiyoshi's next words made him stunned and even felt incredulous.

"The manager...... I...... I've killed people, I'm a monster. Tsukiyoshi's voice fluctuated with the sound of sobbing, and Tsukiyoshi slowly raised his lowered head, but the tears still dripped uncontrollably.

What a wretched man.

"You...... What did you say? The manager's face darkened at first, but soon returned to normal; He suppressed the excitement in his heart and stared into Tsukikishi's red eyes.

"I killed someone, just last night......"

Yesterday, Osaka City, Kita-ku, Umeda Sky Building.

In the glittering fluorescent stone corridor, a particularly conspicuous silvery-white light flashed from under Tsukiyoshi's eyes; Tsukiyoshi, who had just come out of the office and was about to take a walk here, bent down to pick it up and brought it to his eyes after noticing the light.

It is a coin with a face value of five hundred.

"It seems that this kind of randomness is really good luck, if only I could win another jackpot." Tsukiyoshi's face was beaming, and his luck seemed to have changed a lot since the meteorite destroyed Tokyo.

Either he picked up the largest denomination currency on the road, or he won the extremely rare first prize in the lottery, and even the seven-day study in Kyoto organized by the company, he was lucky to be selected, and it can be said that he is on the rise in the field of business.

But I don't know if it's a "coincidence" or what, whenever his good fortune comes, around him, there are always a few unlucky children who will become unusually non-chieftains.

Of course, Tsukiyoshi didn't notice these details, but he didn't care, because in his opinion, it was quite cost-effective to trade other people's luck for his own, and no one had been hurt by it so far.

Now this "coincidence" has reappeared.

"Wade!"

A girl's exclamation broke the silence on the rooftop, and Tsukiyoshi looked for prestige, only to see a blonde boy who was still sitting on the guardrail fall off the guardrail and disappear in the next moment.

This is the top floor of the Umeda Sky Building, and it is hundreds of meters away from the ground.

It is conceivable that the blonde boy should have become a mess of rotten meat from the asphalt at this time.

"Just now he ...... He's because of me...... No, it's not! It was he who was going to jump off the building, not because of me, I didn't pick up that coin, I didn't! Seeing this scene, Tsukiyoshi threw the coin he had just picked up again as if he had been electrocuted; His eyes were round, his dark pupils twitching in the whites of his eyes, and he crouched on the ground with his head in his hands, muttering to himself, and then slammed into a couple like crazy and left the rooftop.

"Because of me, that boy will fall, all because of me!" The chopsticks in his hand couldn't withstand the pressure exerted by Tsukiyoshi's palm, and they broke instantly.

Tsukiyoshi was in the same state of madness as he had been last night, and since he got home to bed, he had been awakened from nightmares again and again, and each time, as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the stench of the blonde boy appearing in front of him, grabbing him by the neck and demanding his life.

Hearing this, the store manager couldn't help but fall silent; His brow was furrowed, his gaze blazing, like a sharp blade, cutting every inch of Tsukiyoshi's skin.

"I said Tsukiyoshi, why do you think that boy fell because of you?"

"Because I have the ability to be very unlucky when I'm lucky at the beginning, the people around me will be very unlucky, and if I hadn't picked up that coin, he wouldn't have ...... It's not going to fall! ”

As he spoke, Tsukiyoshi even began to hammer the tabletop, and the hot soup in the bowl boiled due to the vibration of the tabletop, splashing out of the bowl, but it was all slapped on the store manager's clothes, and Tsukiyoshi was not contaminated even the slightest.

"I saw it, I saw it!" Tsukiyoshi cried out almost frantically.

"We have a way to incapacitate you."

A cold and unforgiving voice suddenly came from outside the door.
