Chapter Twenty-Five: The Groper on the World Line

On the streets of Tokyo's 20th ward, Nerima Ward, you can see that the neighborhood is full of newly built buildings, and as it is dusk, passers-by are strolling leisurely.

The reality is that no matter what happens here and how many mews are doing something, it is still a place of survival for the aborigines.

Gu Wu has seen a lot of news on the Internet, including pictures of refugees from war countries running back to their hometowns to continue their lives at the risk of being bombed, after all, in their eyes, even if they have turned into ruins in front of them, there will always be only one home.

Of course, Gu Wu's focus is not here, he came here this time to fundamentally solve the contradiction between the species and human beings in this world.

In the manga, this is a difficult thing to do, because both humans and mews want to end the war between each other in extreme ways, until the protagonist Kaneki Ken appears and inherits the will of the two 'kings'.

As the author said: all the injustice in this world is due to the lack of ability of the person concerned.

One mew species can't shake the whole world at all, and a human can't make everyone obey his commands, and Gu Wu can't actually do it, the problem is that he has the means to achieve similar conditions.

Gu Wu owns this world, except for the system, Gu Wu is the 'root' of this world, the 'root' of this world, and since this is the case, he has the ability to solve these contradictions.

As a traverser, Gu Wu may still be just a half-ass, and he is not a powerful guy as an agent, but if it is said that to solve the problems of this world, then the first place is naturally capable Gu Wu.

"This is my world......"

It sounds a bit exaggerated, even a little magical, but that's the case, and Gu Wu won't continue to dwell on this issue.

In the face of this setting that appears in different world lines, what kind of future will the protagonists of the previous stories choose?

After all, the current setting is still the same setting, and the character is no longer that role, and it is for this reason that Gu Wu has certain expectations for the café named ':re' in front of him.

To put it another way, if the mews who exist here choose to live in peace with the humans, then Gu Wu can use his rights to make the people of the CCG stop acting, if the two sides still want to go to war......

"Hey...... Louise don't run around, Tina remembers to watch her, now we're going to take a look inside the café. ”

"This is what you call an 'intelligence gathering point'? Then there are also important people related to the event, and if the object is a meander, it is necessary to pay attention to the other party's every move. ”

"Miss Altaïr is really serious in this regard, I don't think the other party will be stupid enough to start a war here, and there is no need to fight."

Returning to Altair's question, Gu Wu turned to look at Harriet and Fanny, who were standing on the other side.

"The two young ladies also ask not to make some dangerous moves at that time, we are here to communicate this time."

"You're saying there's a seed in there? Does a man-eating monster also have its own café......

Harriet seemed a little unacceptable, and it was indeed difficult for her to identify with the existence of the mew species from the perspective of human beings.

But Harriet is not stupid, she said that she has no opinion, and it would be a fool's errand to ask for trouble here.

Vanny had her own conditions, standing behind Harriet with her right hand on her weapon bag.

"Mr. Gu Wu, I know that you want to solve the problem in a peaceful way, but one thing I must make clear, once Miss Harriet is in danger, and those mews take dangerous actions, I will immediately attack them."

Fanny had a very serious expression

"I'm just a human, but I'm going to kill them."

"Don't worry, I think Miss Altai will act sooner before you do it."

Altai was also very worried about Gu Wu, after all, she didn't want Gu Wu, the 'origin of the world', to be killed, because then the world might collapse.

After finishing speaking, Gu Wu also specifically told Luise that Tina didn't need too much attention because she belonged to the kind of person who was more well-behaved.

"The master is too worried! People can do a good job! ”

Louise, who was very confident, responded with a smile, even if it was useless to pretend to be cute, Gu Wu would still keep an eye on her.

Next, Gu Wu took the lead and walked towards ':re'.

It's a newly opened café with a triangle with your name written on it at the door, and you can also see the price list of some coffee drinks on it.

Pushing open the door and walking in, Gu Wu heard the bell ringing in the upper right corner, and then the person in charge at the counter immediately beckoned

"Welcome."

Gu Wu actually noticed the first thing he noticed was not the manager here, but a special fragrance inside the café, like a small part of the spices being spilled on the ground, spreading to all parts of the space.

Is that the aroma of coffee beans or the smell of sugar cubes and black tea mixed together?

Gu Wu looked at the counter, and there was a woman standing inside.

She was wearing an employee suit, with an apron on the outside, bangs covering her right eye, and her hand slowly wiping the coffee cup.

Sure enough, in this world......

Kirishima Dongka, in the past, she was just a somewhat willful young girl, shy and didn't know how to accurately express her thoughts to outsiders.

However, now she is different, she looks much more mature, and her calm appearance proves her transformation.

Did the worldline of this world make her suffer those misfortunes?

Presumably so......

After all, the premise of the existence of ':re' is that District 20 has experienced a CCG's extermination of 'antique', otherwise the 'antique' café would not have been destroyed.

"So many guests? What do you need? ”

Kirishima Dongxiang asked, and at the same time stopped the movement in his hand.

It can already be determined.

The system doesn't exactly replicate the manga's worldline, in short, it's a new story about the meow from now on.

This seems to be the same as "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny", where everyone sees only the story of one world line, and in another world line, the unfortunate can also be happy, and the choice to the end of the road can also be connected to the light.

There is not only one world, the only thing that is the same is that they start from the same place.

Gu Wu looked at the contents on the menu, ':re' will also provide some snacks in addition to coffee.

"I just want a cup of pure coffee."

"Then I'm just like the master!"

Louise replied.

"You'll definitely regret it."

"The master always likes to underestimate people!!"

Unlike Louise, Tina ordered a coffee with honey.

Altair, who had put down the menu, closed it and responded

"A cup of brown sugar coffee."

Next, Harriet and Fanny also asked for pure coffee like Gu Wu, so Kirishima Dongxiang started to make coffee.

Seeing her acting in an orderly manner alone, Gu Wu, who had found the entry point, asked

"Is there only one lady here?"

"No...... Because everybody has something to do. ”

Dong Xiang, who said this, glanced at the second floor while grinding coffee, where there were probably some people.

How do you ask the question next?

Would she be attacked if she asked her directly?

Gu Wu wanted to avoid fighting, even if he didn't lose to her, and he didn't want to take force measures, which in his own opinion was an unnecessary action.

"I've been a little uneasy in Tokyo lately, but has the store manager heard anything about meow?"

Hearing Gu Wu's question, Dong Xiang still didn't stop the movements in her hand, and she responded in a flat tone

"I don't know these things, but those with malicious intentions should be punished, no matter who they are."

"Do you think you're right?"

The person who asked such a question was not Gu Wu, but Harriet on the side.

As the saying goes, it's not a big deal to do things, this time Dong Xiang stopped moving, but Gu Wu noticed that she was about to take out the ground coffee powder.

Dong Xiang, who skillfully brewed coffee, only gave an answer after setting up the coffee cup

"People often ask this kind of question, and it's up to you to decide who is right and who is wrong...... Of course, I understand that this is also a selfish idea. ”

Speaking of this, Dong Xiang began to warm the coffee cup with hot water, and only after warming the cup would the coffee not produce a sour taste.

She then uses paper filters, bowls and a pot to brew the coffee to make sure it tastes better.

"Meaning there is no such thing as right and wrong in itself?"

Harriet's questioning made Dong Xiang, who was carrying the filter, raise her head

"No, I didn't mean that, I just think that people with malicious intentions are wrong, but you need to know each other before you can make a judgment."

In fact, this is the same as a detective drama, who is the murderer needs to be investigated, and you can't point to the deer as a horse and talk nonsense.

At this time, the heat starts to come out of the cup, and the smell of the coffee spreads, and it smells good.

Dong Xiang, who was busy making coffee, completed everyone's orders in an orderly manner, and when she served coffee to Louise, she specially gave her a small bowl of sugar cubes.

Gu Wu took the lead in taking a sip, it was very bitter, but that bitter taste quickly turned mellow.

"Woo~"

Louise, who stuck out her tongue, was really not used to plain coffee, so she consciously put the sugar cube in her coffee cup.

"It's so bitter...... Sister Tina, can I give you a taste? ”

"Who told you to be strong?"

"Thank you!"

The relationship between the two is much better than before.

On the other side, Fanny was adding brown sugar to Harriet, and it seemed that there was another girl who had just been reckless.

Harriet was a little embarrassed, and she leaned over to Fanny, as if trying to hide, to the latter's amusement.

"The coffee was good."

Altaïr was a rare compliment.

"Thank you."

"Your ring."

"Huh?"

"You're married?"

Although she was stunned for a moment, Dong Xiang quickly reacted, and she touched the ring on the ring finger of her left hand with her hand.

"This ...... Yes. ”

"Congratulations."

Dong Xiang, who was packing up the props, smiled, and didn't seem to think Altair's question just now was rude.

Gu Wu drank all the coffee calmly, and he continued to talk to Dong Xiang before he proposed this idea.

"If I'm right, there have been a lot of incidents in this Nerima area before, but I didn't expect it to be fully recovered after a few years...... If the store manager is in trouble, you can contact us as soon as possible. ”

"Where are you public officials?"

"Someone who specializes in solving tough problems, to be exact."

Tricky questions? Obviously, Dong Xiang didn't understand the meaning.

But this is not important, Gu Wu wants to meet her husband now.

"May I ask the store manager, your husband...... Are you also an employee of the store? ”

"What do you want to ask?"

Dong Xiang took the initiative to stop what she was doing this time, and she showed a completely different expression from before.

The other party became vigilant, and Gu Wu, who learned this, did not immediately puncture the problem.

"I received a report that there was a disturbance here, so I planned to ask the people who work in this neighborhood."

"You're the police?"

"If you need proof, I can have someone bring it."

This is just a matter of words for Gu Wu.

Shaking her head, Dong Xiang seemed reluctant to let those policemen come here, after all, she only welcomed guests.

The sound of a rattle shaking was present at this moment, and the driver who was waiting outside entered the café.

"Mr. Gu Wu, there is something for you to pass over there."

"Now?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

Gu Wu looked at the empty coffee cup, and Altair and the others on his side also left immediately, only Gu Wu was the last to leave in order to pay.

However, as soon as Gu Wu put down the coin, someone came down from the top of the second floor.

It's the protagonist.,It's also the time - Kaneki Ken.。

"Need a refill?"

Hearing him say this, Dong Xiang hurriedly explained.

"This guest is planning to ......"

"Refill, please."

Gu Wu suddenly changed his actions, and he motioned for Dong Xiang to pour another cup of coffee.

Dong Xiang, who had a complicated expression, was persuaded by Jin Mu's expression, and she began to pour Gu Wu a second cup of coffee.

At this time, Kaneki Ken also changed into employee clothes.

"I've rested enough, let me do it, Dong Xiang."

Jin Mu, who entered the counter from the side, came to Gu Wu and asked Dong Xiang to carry the garbage to the back door.

When Dong Xiang left, Jin Mu changed his attitude.

"There are people out there who have you, not just those just now, but also others; What exactly do you want to do, sir? ”

"It's hard for me to break this matter if someone is following me, and the purpose of coming here this time is not to make things difficult for you."

Gu Wu didn't continue to sell Guanzi.

"I want your cooperation, it will be a good choice."

"I don't know what you mean."

Dong Xiang, who had finished her errands, came back at this moment, and on the way, she complained that the trash can at the back door was messed up by a wild cat somewhere.

Gu Wu quickly drank the coffee in the cup and turned to leave.

"Hope to come back next time."

Hearing Jin Muyan's voice, Gu Wu, who was walking towards the door, waved his hand behind him.

"I'll come back when I have a chance, so I'll trouble you then."

Because Gu Wu knows very well that there are people in this world who want to be heroes.
