"The final weapon..."Looking at the Quartet standing at the door with a blank expression, Nishio couldn't help but complain. Lie..."

"How is it possible..."Dong Xiang also nodded unprecedentedly, she had never seen Quartet work, as for what he looked like when he was working... The picture is too beautiful to imagine.

"Sifang also worked in the store." The manager walked out from the back of the square with a gentle smile on his face.

"Huh...."There was an uproar in the Anding area, it was too shocking.

"It's true." The store manager explained that Sifang used to work as a waiter for a while when the store first opened and there was a shortage of clerks. "Although that was a long time ago."

"I didn't expect Mr. Sifang to also work in Anding District." Dong Xiang looked at the Quartet sitting in the middle without changing color under the gaze of everyone in surprise, and said everyone's feelings.

"I can't believe it..."Nishio complained again, how busy he was to use such a big killer weapon at that time.

"He's very good at making coffee." Miss Irimi in the back explained with a smile that after all, they had both worked together, but she regretfully spread her shoulders afterwards. "But I'm not good at receiving guests."

"Hmm..."Everyone nodded in understanding.

"Dong Xiang, have you packed your luggage?" The four sides were expressionless, and he was still so serious.

"Oops, there's a little bit left." Dong Xiang remembered this incident at this time, she had no time to tidy up for work.

"We'll take care of the rest." Miss Irumi said softly.

"Thank you." Dong Xiang bowed slightly and shouted at Hinami, who was standing in the middle of the counter. "Let's go, Hinami-chan."

"Hmm." Hinami happily walked over, shook Dong Xiang's hand, and the two walked upstairs side by side.

"That's it..."The store manager looked at the two cups he cherished the most, Dong Xiang and Hinami took a while to pack up their things, and Sifang and Roma had already left work, he had already told them the truth, and the next thing was their own business.

"Mr. Yoshimura is going to..."After a moment of silence, the four sides spoke, he had already told the store manager about the current situation of CCG, he knew how critical the situation was, but he still had an expectation, and he didn't have to be alone.

"I'm still responsible for the aftermath...", the store manager decisively vetoed. I want to... Please take care of everyone. ”

Although this is a situation that Quartet has expected for a long time, it still makes Quartet a little disappointed, he closed his eyes and took care of everyone? That's the only reason I'm leaving. "I see...."

Hinami and Dong Xiang walked out of the Anding area, it was still snowing heavily outside, and they looked up at the flying snowflakes, which was really beautiful.

"Big sister, the snow is still falling." Hinami hugged her travel bag, and it looked like she was extremely petite.

"Looks like it's going to get snow." Dong Xiang stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake and watched it slowly melt in the palm of his hand.

"Then Quartet, please leave it to you." Quartet and the store manager stood side by side, their expressions serious, without the slightest joy of leaving.

"Okay." Quartet replied lightly, walked up to Hinami, put a hat on her, and shouted at Dong Xiang, who was still looking at the snowflakes. "Dong Xiang."

"Here," Dong Xiang looked back and saw that the Quartet had already taken a step, so he hurriedly followed, and did not forget to wave to the store manager behind him. "Manager, if there's anything to do, I'll come back to help."

"Me too." Hinami also waved his hand, and after saying that, the three of them turned around and left, after all, there was still a long way to go.

The store manager watched the three of them gradually leave with a smile, and as the backs of the three disappeared, the smile on his face gradually faded, he frowned, looked at the bright street lamp, turned around and walked into the Anding area, there should be one last customer.

With the sound of dense footsteps sounding around the Anding Zone, groups of people in white coats hid everywhere and surrounded here, a tall figure in a white coat walked into the Anding Zone, at this time the store manager was still cleaning the counter, he heard the doorbell and looked up, a person was patting the snow on his body outside the door.

"Looks like it's going to snow tonight." It's Shinohara Teo, and he has a gentle smile on his face, as if he just happened to be here for coffee.

"Welcome." The store manager seemed to know that the other party was coming, and his face was full of calm, and he slowly brewed a cup of coffee under Shinohara's intently watchful gaze, and there was no trace of panic.

"Shall I sit down and have a cup of coffee too?" As the aroma of coffee filled the entire café, the store manager finally spoke.

"Absolutely." As soon as he said this, Shinohara's conjecture had already been determined, but he did not refuse the other party's request.

"Please." The store manager brought it to Shinohara, put one in front of him, and naturally sat next to Shinohara, chatting with an ordinary old man and a middle-aged man. "Okay."

As Shinohara's sip of coffee, his attention was immediately attracted, he originally belonged to the type that didn't like coffee very much, but after tasting the coffee in the Anding area, he changed his mind, and the mellow aroma and a faint bitterness blended on the tip of the tongue, although it was very bland but it was endless.

"It's delicious..."

"Thank you for the compliment." The store manager smiled from the bottom of his heart, and it was a dream of his to sit together with the investigator like this, and taste his coffee.

"Isn't this cup of coffee?" Shinohara, surprised, surprised at how delicious the coffee was, but he couldn't imagine that the store manager could make it. What about the different coffee beans used? “

"Coffee beans are different." The store manager already understood what the other party meant. "But the most important thing is the degree of roasting and the way it is brewed, the quality of the water also affects the taste, this is my personal opinion... The most important thing is the place of origin... In the process of conditioning, how to face the coffee beans. ”

"Face?" Shinohara, as if he had caught something, was not sure of it.

"Yes." The manager said that it was an ordinary coffee, but what he said was as meaningful as the brewed coffee. "The processing method of each coffee bean is different, even if you buy a very expensive coffee bean, if you don't brew it carefully, the coffee will not taste good, and vice versa, even if it is a cheap coffee bean, as long as you make good use of its characteristics and brew it carefully, you can taste good coffee."

"I see" Shinohara looked down at the ordinary coffee in his hand, he didn't expect that there were so many profound truths in making coffee, which he couldn't think of without touching it. "It's profound."

"Where..."

"It's delicious." Shinohara's coffee was finished in one gulp, and although he knew this, he still had to do what he had to do.

"Thank you for the compliment." Shinohara, picking up his white coat and putting his hand in his pocket, was stopped by the store manager. "This cup is my treat."

"But that's a little bit...."Shinohara, just wanted to speak, but looking at the store manager's determined expression, he finally put his hand back, and they were silent for a long time, looking at each other seriously, both of them already knew what was going on, but in the end Shinoha still smiled reluctantly. Then I will accept your kindness, thank you for your hospitality..."

Shinohara walked out of the stable area, looked back at the stable area that was still lit up, and knew that everything would cease to exist, he straightened his coat and left in great strides, the two different people did not come together after all, and were destined to part ways....

The store manager stood by the window, watching the snowflakes fall bigger and bigger, and three people walked out behind him.

"I've cleaned the shop to the brim." Furuma looked at the store manager who turned his head with a smile on his face.

"All the paperwork in the store has been disposed of." Behind him is the same smiling Irimi.

"It's all arranged." Finally, there are three waves with a slight trace of regret on his face.

"Thank you..."The store manager smiled slightly, slowly brewing coffee for the three people, all three of them looked forward to it with smiles, even the three waves who have always been playful were no exception, the store manager shook the container evenly, slowly poured the coffee into the cup, and brought the cup to the three of them in the aroma-filled stable area. Please use it. “

"I'm just waiting for a drink." Furuma smiled slightly, he still liked the store manager's coffee so much.

"Thank you." Irimi also took a sip intoxicated.

"I still like the manager's coffee so much." The mist messed with three waves of hair, and she was the one who drank the most coffee from the store manager.

The three of them picked up the coffee at the same time, and slowly drank the hot cup of coffee here, with an intoxicated look on their faces.

"It's going to get cold here..."The store manager said slowly as he looked at the bustling 20th district in the distance, and the three people behind him turned around, and their expressions were completely different from usual.

"The three of us will be with you until the last minute." Furuma's expression was rarely serious, but he smiled lightly in the end.

"Are you still dissatisfied?" Irimi is cold like another person... But her last smile was still so beautiful. "Three waves, you can leave, you still have the people you want to wait for."

"He gave up on me a long time ago..."Sanbo's expression was still firm, although his eyes were still inexplicably sad. It's just me... I haven't been able to see him again. ”

"What about the little boy?" Irimi looked at Sanbo, and his expression returned to his usual gentle expression. "Don't you say goodbye to him? This is the last time. ”

"He already knows." Sanbo took a sip of his coffee, and the boy hadn't been here since the tall investigator left. "So I'd like to make a wrap-up this time..."

The store manager looked out the window, he should have no regrets, but in the end he still wanted to see someone again, but it seemed that it was impossible to achieve it, worrying that... My wish... In the end, it was still not possible...

————————————

A bandaged hand slowly caught the flying snowflakes, but only left a small mark on her bandage, and she turned to look at Tatara who was now holding her arms, as lively as usual.

"It's snowing—" But Tatara didn't speak, he stared blankly at the snow in front of him, but there was sadness in his eyes that he had never felt before, and Aite didn't feel like he was singing a one-man show. I'm looking forward to it..."

I just don't know if it's snow or this new world...

"Chairman, please allow us..."In the dimly lit but spacious auditorium, standing side by side with Director Shu and Marute, they all bowed slightly towards the person hiding in the shadows in front of them. Perform a crusade against the Owl. ”

"Where is the target?" It was an old and hoarse voice, but it did not lose any majesty in the ears of the two people in front of him.

"Yes, in the 20th district—" and Director Xiu spoke. A shop called Anding District..."
