Early morning.

Aite was busy going to work today, and Ayaluo happened to visit Dong Xiang.

"Make coffee slowly, not in a hurry,"

"It's like drawing a circle that shrinks."

The owner of Fangcun instructed.

Dong Xiang started working as a waitress in the store a few months ago, and there are many things that need to be learned.

"I always feel that it's still a little different from what the store manager made."

The girl tasted her coffee.

The tools and materials are the same, but the taste is obviously worse.

"The taste of coffee becomes more delicious as you put in more effort,"

"You don't have to be in a hurry."

The store manager smiled.

"The owner of Fangcun said it so well,"

"Can I have a drink?"

Ayaro walked into the store.

"Brother."

Dong Xiang squinted her eyes slightly, obviously a little happy.

"There are a lot of guests here."

Ayaraku sighed.

The 20th ward is a unique area and the calmest in all of Tokyo.

"Antiques are not only coffee shops, but also places for meow associations to meet and communicate,"

"Anyone who is in trouble will come here for help,"

"The store manager said that everyone is a partner."

Dong Xiang explained.

She basically grew up in this place and knows a lot about things.

"There are human guests, too."

Ayaro said.

For example, Kaneki Ken or something, occasionally humans come here.

"Well, if you want to survive in the human world, this disguise is also essential,"

"No one eats human food, but the store manager and Mr. Furuma were able to make sandwiches and the like, and they went through a lot of practice."

"According to human guests, it seems to taste pretty good."

Dong Xiang said.

There are many similar things like this, such as swallowing human food when necessary.

It's not about eating, it's about chewing, and then finding a chance to go to the bathroom and spit out what you've eaten.

Forcibly digest that food, and the body of the seed will become weak.

"To disguise identity,"

"Dong Xiangchan is also working hard."

Ayaro smiled.

He's doing well, after all, he used to live as a human being, and he's much better than the meows.

"Ding—"

The doorbell rings.

"Welcome."

The girl turned her head to look at the door.

"Dong Xiang."

The visitors were a mother and daughter, both with brown hair and plain and clean clothes.

"Ryoko-san."

Dong Xiang saw them in the rain, so she immediately went to get a towel and wiped the rain off their bodies.

The mother is Ryoko Fuguchi, and the daughter is Hinami Fuguchi.

Both of them are from the 20th district, and the family has always been difficult, often coming to antiques to find food help.

Hinami's father is a doctor and has helped many mews.

So everybody is willing to help them.

"I'm sorry for the trouble."

Ryoko said to Dong Xiang as she wiped her daughter's short wet hair.

"Hinami,"

"It's been a long time."

Dong Xiang smiled softly and greeted.

The girl just hid in her mother's arms and didn't answer.

"Where's Mr. Yoshimura?"

Ryoko asked.

"In the room inside."

Dong Xiang replied.

Soon, Ryoko took Hinami to the store manager to discuss things.

This is also a helpless move.

The guy named Gecko is here, and it is dangerous for them to stay in the infirmary, so they have to come here for a while.

Ryoko Fuguchi, even her daughter has grown so big?

A few memories flashed through Ayaraku's mind.

Hinami, 14 years old.

Her short hair is similar to Dong Xianghe, but her temperament is completely different.

Dong Xiang always gives people the impression that he is very sensible and calm, while Hinami is very afraid of life and is very shy.

The reason for this is probably because Dong Xiang has the opportunity to go to school, and he is now a third-year student in a high school.

And Hinami has never had the opportunity to go out since she was a child, and has been living at home.

"Then again,"

"Does Dong Xiang know where Mr. Bei's mask shop is?"

Ayaro asked suddenly.

"Huh?"

"Brother, do you know him?"

Dong Xiang's mouth opened wide.

Bei is the leader of the 4th district, and he is also a friend of the Quartet Lotus, and the relationship between the two has always been quite complicated.

And the Sifang Lianshi is her uncle.

"Mr. Bei is said to be good at making masks,"

"I've wanted to customize one for a long time."

Ayaluo said softly.

Bei's identity is not only those appearances, but he is actually a member of the V organization.

But that guy is really good at making masks.

"That,"

"I'll go with my brother tomorrow."

Dong Xiang blinked.

"Hmm."

......

Following.

Zone IV.

Walk through the streets and alleys to the dark buildings and take the elevator to the basement level.

The hall is dimly lit and the walls are covered with various masks, so it's not hard to see the owner's hard work.

"Mr. Bah, Mr. Bah?"

Dong Xiang called out a few words.

There was no sound of reply in the store, it was quiet.

"Really, asleep?"

Dong Xiang pursed his lips.

"There are a lot of models."

Ayara visits the masks and sculptures in the shop.

Accidentally uncovered a white cloth -

"Wow."

The man was half-crouching where the sculpture was placed, and suddenly his head popped up.

"What a child's prank."

Ayaro couldn't help but smile.

Hey, a man who looks very young and non-mainstream.

Long black hair is tied behind the back, tattoos are almost all over the body, earrings, lip studs are also eye-catching.

The neck is tattooed with the Latin phrase "No."

possum vive

e

ec si

e te, et

o

possum vive

e

ec si

e te."

The implication is, I can't live with you, and I can't live without you.

It's hard to imagine such a man......

He is the leader of District 4 and is an excellent mask-maker.

"Brother,"

"This is Mr. Bei, who made the mask."

Dong Xiang introduced.

"The first time we met, I was Ayaraku,"

"Please advise me."

Ayaraku smiled a friendly smile.

"Hmm,"

"The smell on your body is peculiar,"

"Come to think of it, there are human ones, there are female meows, and it's not one."

He looked at the young man in front of him.

He is probably only a few years younger than himself, and he gives people an unusually mature and steady feeling, and he laughs politely.

"Mr. Bei's sense of smell is really keen,"

"What are your eyes?"

Ayaro was a little curious.

Bei's eyes are black and red, but it's not that he opened the eyes, it should have been specially treated.

"Oh, put something into it,"

"It can be understood as a tattoo of the eyeball."

He replied.

"Anyway, Dong Xiang, District 20 hasn't been quiet lately,"

"Sure enough, it's because Lishi ran there to kill someone."

Said casually.

"More than that,"

"Recently, the bastard of Yueshan Xi has also been excessive, which is why a search officer has been sent here."

Dong Xiang's voice was cold.

When it comes to the guy named Yueshan Xi, he obviously has a very bad impression.

"So,"

"Please sit down and I'll test the data."

He turned his head to look at Ayaluo again.
