Reverse Cross Bar.

Yun Chuan sat behind the bar, holding his cheek with one hand and loosening his tie with the other.

On weekdays, it is midday, and few guests visit at this time.

"It's good to find a new employee, otherwise it's really boring."

Yun Chuan yawned a little boredly, and turned his head to look at the fitting room on the side.

Noriko Okayani happened to poke her head out of it, and her expression became even more cramped when she looked at Yun Chuan.

"I, I've changed my ......"

As he spoke, he pinched the skirt of his overalls and walked out of the changing room.

It is different from Yunchuan's white shirt, black tie, and black trousers.

Noriko is dressed in a purple bow, V-neck vest, white lining, and a short black skirt, which looks neat and capable, but also a little more serious.

"Oh? It's a good fit. ”

Yun Chuan just glanced at it, then blinked his eyes and asked with a smile, "How do you feel as the first employee of the Reverse Cross Bar?" ”

“…… Hmm, do you feel it? ”

Hearing this, Noriko pinched her skirt, her expression a little weird, "It feels a little unexpected." ”

When she was distracted and emotionally out of control last night, she directly agreed to Yun Chuan's invitation on impulse.

That is, with him, drag those who deserve to hell into hell.

- For example, Kitagawa Qiangshi, who killed Tatsuo before.

After returning home last night, her emotions gradually calmed down, and she didn't sleep all night, thinking about it all the time.

I came here in the morning with dark circles under my eyes that I couldn't cover, and I hesitated for a long time outside the bar before I made up my mind.

I thought that Mr. Tsukimiri would take her to do something amazing.

Outcome......

"We are neither superhumans who go wherever we want, nor are we Grim Reaper who can encounter murder at any time."

Yun Chuan said as a matter of course, "Before those destined people find us, of course we must do our own work." ”

So, you're referring to a job as a bartender in a bar?

It seems to have seen what Noriko was thinking.

"Don't underestimate this job."

Yun Chuan straightened his expression and said seriously: "When most guests drink, they will involuntarily take off the mask they wear on their faces on weekdays, so as to show their true appearance from the heart. ”

"So, our job is to see with our eyes."

"Observe with your eyes?" Noriko was stunned.

"Yes, use your eyes to observe the guests around you."

Yun Chuan nodded, revealing a smile: "Try to feel their truth, and find out what they want and think in their hearts." ”

After a pause, looking at Noriko, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, he asked again, "Where is the mask I gave you?" ”

Noriko looked puzzled.

I thought about it for a moment before I reacted.

"Oh, that's what you're talking about, right?" Noriko rummaged through her bag and took out a mask.

It was an all-white mask, with only a round hole in the eyes, and a hole in the mouth that was turned down.

It looks like ...... The mask is crying?

"Well, it's this mask."

Under Noriko's surprised gaze, Yun Chuan stood up from the chair, took the mask in her hand, and smiled slightly: "Remember? As I said before, it will give you a chance to choose. ”

As soon as these words came out, Noriko's figure couldn't help but tremble.

To tell the truth, after knowing that Tatsuo died, her heart was like a tree cracking, completely cracking from top to bottom along the lines.

I felt like I had turned into rancid orange juice and soup, roses and lilies crawling with insect eggs.

In the crowd that has become a crowd of people, there is a clear existence, but no one sees it, and no one needs it.

In the end, it was Mr. Tsukimiri's persuasion that made her give up the idea of suicide for the time being.

"Now, a new identity, a new purpose, a new future, are all in front of you."

Yun Chuan smiled at Noriko and handed the crying mask in front of her.

"Put on this mask and become my comrades to punish those sinners who exploit the loopholes of the law, if you will, this is your new identity and goal."

Yun Chuan's words reached Noriko's ears word by word, and her face became more and more pale.

But her heart opened like a closed valley, and the wind blew in endlessly.

Noriko lowered her head and looked at the weeping mask, a hint of intent flashing in her eyes.

Punish those who exploit the loopholes of the law?

"If, it can really be done......"

Call!

Noriko breathed a long sigh of relief, took the mask and slowly put it on her face.

Click!

"What should I call now?"

Noriko's voice was also a little more hoarse and low, and the whole person's temperament seemed to have become gloomy and weird.

A voice-changing device is installed on the inside of the mask to isolate a certain amount of listening and detection.

"There is no name, you are twenty-faced, I am also twenty-faced, everyone can be twenty-faced."

The corners of Yun Chuan's mouth twitched, and he smiled: "This mask is your identification certificate in the future, and it must be kept in a hidden place." ”

"Twenty faces...... Is it? ”

Noriko muttered, reaching out and touching her mask.

The mask covered her entire face, and she looked like she was crying.

Click~

Just when Noriko was stunned, Yun Chuan suddenly reached out and removed the mask from her face.

Looking at the crying face that was no different from the mask, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that this mask has been chosen correctly." ”

After being stunned for a moment, Noriko immediately put on a smile.

It was actually a little similar to Yun Chuan's smile.

However, it fell in Yun Chuan's eyes......

"It's a nice smile, but it's not enough."

Yun Chuan returned the mask to Noriko and reminded him seriously: "It seems a little hypocritical, and there is no sincerity at all, just like an actor with superb acting skills acting on the spot." ”

After that, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, demonstrating a real "smile".

"Alright, let's get ready for our first guest of the day."

Yun Chuan shook his head with a smile and pointed to her cramped hands: "Before the guests arrive, you should put your hands crossed under the navel, and your right hand pressed on your left hand, and maintain a posture of being ready to serve." ”

Noriko's smile suddenly couldn't hold back, and she leaned over a little crampedly and said loudly, "Yes, I'll work hard." ”

That's when it happened.

Jingle Bell ......

The brass bell in front of the door suddenly made a crisp sound.

"Although your first target as the Twenty-Faced Physiognomy has not yet appeared, your first guest as a bartender has already arrived."

Noriko was also refreshed when she heard this, and stood up straight and looked at the door.

Yun Chuan straightened his collar and wore a perfect smile, ready to offer the most intimate service to his first guest.

However, when he saw the people who came in, the smile on his face collapsed slightly.

"Hah! Yun Chuan, long time no see! ”

Hearing the familiar voice full of vitality, the corners of Yun Chuan's mouth couldn't help twitching, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated.
