Chapter 2 Why is Bourbon here?
By the time Tang Ze arrived at Mihua Station with difficulty, it was already two hours later.
Although Karasawa was not Japanese before the crossing, he had spent time in Tokyo, and he had some psychological expectations about the trouble of taking the subway in Japan and how labyrinthine Shibuya Station was.
As a result, Kexue World's Magic Transformation Subway still couldn't fix it for him, and he completely miscalculated the time spent on the road, and it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon when he found Polo Cafe all the way.
It stands to reason that he still has to go to Didan High School today to go through the enrollment procedures, and I am afraid that this delay will not be able to eat dinner.
Secretly mourning for two seconds for a faintly throbbing stomach, Tang Ze pushed open the door of Polo's Cafe.
There were still three or two customers in the store at the moment, and two waiters were standing behind the long bar and talking to the customers, when they heard the door being pushed open, and everyone looked at Tang Ze together.
“!” Tang Ze looked up and saw the two of them, and he sighed in his heart.
The long-haired girl on the left is gentle and kind, probably the waitress who lives in the café in the comics, Enoki Motosa; The problem is that the man on the right is too representative of his appearance, a handsome guy with wheat skin and short blond hair, and ten out of ten people who have seen Conan can call his name out of the mouth.
Why is Toru Amuro here?!
Seeing that Tang Ze was standing at the door without moving after pushing the door open, looking very at a loss, Enomoto Azusa looked at him carefully, and his eyes shifted from the school uniform on his body to his special hair color and blue eyes.
"Ahh With his right hand clenched into his fist and tapped his palm, Enomoto Azusa suddenly realized, "You are the high school student the boss said, right?" Mr. Tang Zezhao. ”
Tang Ze came back to his senses, bowed reflexively and greeted: "Sorry, I was rude." The first time we met, I was Tang Zezhao who came here to borrow it, so please give me more advice in the future. ”
His near-instinctive reaction to the standard of the first sight of the triple made Enomoto Azusa smile. A little startled and nervous, Tang Zezhao seemed to be a restrained and unsociable little social terrorist.
"Pretty cute, huh?" She turned her head and whispered to Amuro.
Amuro was also looking at Tang Ze carefully at this time, and when he heard this, he put on an affinity smile and beckoned to Tang Ze: "Don't be nervous, the boss has informed us." My name is Toru Amuro, this is Azusa Enomoto, and we are the clerks here. Please advise me after that. ”
Tang Ze looked at his sunny smile, secretly adjusted his breathing to calm down the heart rate that had risen after being frightened, smiled back at Amuro, and walked into the store.
And under his calm expression at the moment is the turbulent heart.
What's going on? Could it be that the plot on Conan's side has advanced a lot? When Amuro came to work at Polo Cafe, Shuichi Akai became Okiya, right?
But he remembered that the newspaper he glimpsed on the road obviously read headlines such as "High school student detective Shinichi Kudo repeatedly solves strange cases", and Kudo Shinichi is still active!
That Amuro thoroughfed him......
Not good, his boarding life was very bad from day one.
"We received your personal belongings yesterday, so we'll put them upstairs for you." Azusa Enomoto pointed to the wooden staircase behind the side of the bar and instructed Tang Ze, "You can go up and take a rest first, and if you need help, you can come to us." ”
Enomoto Azusa, who thought that Tang Ze was somewhat socially phobic, was worried that he would be more nervous if the guests continued to watch, so he thoughtfully found a reason for him to leave.
"Thank you very much, but I've been delayed for too long on the road, and I'm too late to go to school, can you give me the boarding certificate first?" Tang Ze hesitated, unsure if Enomoto Azusa knew his identity, and only used the word "boarding" euphemistically.
What he really wants is a volunteer certificate for guardianship review during the probation period, because Tang Zezhao is now equivalent to a prisoner on probation, and the volunteer must communicate with the school as a temporary guardian to issue a certificate, guaranteeing that he will be responsible for the care and keep in touch with the regular report, and the high school will be willing to accept the hot potato of juvenile delinquents.
"Certificates?" Azusa Enomoto repeated suspiciously, as if she didn't quite understand the situation of "Tang Zezhao".
Toru Amuro, who was next to him, took over: "Ah, proof of residence, is it?" Leave it to me, the boss explained it to me. You're transferring to Didan High School, right? Not far from here, I can accompany you. ”
Tang Ze turned his head and met Amuro's purple-gray eyes. Judging by the smile on the other side's face, Amuro was fully aware of what he was just talking about.
Tang Ze looked at the customers in the store and asked in a low voice, "It's still in business hours, doesn't it matter?" ”
"It's okay, I'm busy by myself now." Azusa Enomoto hurriedly pushed Amuro out of the bar, "Mr. Amuro, hurry up and send him over." ”
So Tang Ze stood on the side with a well-behaved face and waited for Amuro to take off the barista's apron, change into a coat and go out, and follow him with a well-behaved face.
But in fact, Tang Ze's two hands holding the commuter bag were about to dig into the fabric.
Good guys, he called good guys.
Enomoto Azusa may have thought that Tang Ze just wanted a certificate of residence address or something, but Tang Ze knew very well that what he needed was a supervisor to connect with the school, and no one else could do it for him.
So for a long time, his temporary guardian is not the mysterious café owner who hasn't shown his face, but Toru Amuro, right?!
Thinking of this, Tang Ze, who was behind Amuro, lowered his head and stared at the shadow at Amuro's feet, for fear that he would show a wrong expression and be found by this keen fake wine.
It's over, Kudo Shinichi hasn't been stuffed yet, and Tang Zezhao's distillery has surfaced first.
Yes, it must be a winery.
Regardless of the true purpose of this matryoshka doll, when he uses the social identity of Amuro Toru to act, it means that the superficial starting point of his actions must be as a member of Bourbon's organization.
In the original plot, Amuro Toru would go to Polo Cafe to work part-time, and the reason was that Bourbon wanted to investigate the Maori detective agency.
And Bourbon would not come to the café to be a guardian for high school students for no reason, which shows that "Tang Zezhao" must have some connection with the distillery, so that the plot of Bourbon's part-time job was triggered in advance.
"You seem to be nervous, Tang Ze-san?" Amuro suddenly turned his head and looked at Tang Ze, who could only see the top of his hair with his head hanging down, and said loudly.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry." Tang Ze continued to maintain the social fear persona, replied in a very small volume, and by the way, raised his head 30 degrees, and stared at Amuro's cuffs instead.
Tang Ze's memories of the first ten years of his original body are still very vague, except for a few fragmentary memory fragments that are more specific, he doesn't even remember the names of his parents, and he doesn't know what Tang Zezhao's previous personality was.
Amuro must know more ironclad than the current Tang Ze, with his style of fake wine, he will not easily touch Tang Zezhao's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Tang Ze simply played according to his personal understanding, anyway, an unlucky child who was framed as a criminal ex-offender, even if he used to be a courtesan with full interpersonal ability, now he is autistic, it's a beaver thing, right?
Amuro still smiled, and his tone was very relaxed and easy-going: "It's okay, Tang Ze, I probably understand your situation." The boss is not in the country all the year round, so I will be in charge of your guardianship for the next year. ”
You know that's the case.
Tang Ze was silent for a while, and didn't follow his topic, if he handed over the initiative to the conversation, I'm afraid he would have to enter a cliché cycle next, but guess what? I don't know as much as you do.
He asked instead, "So, Miss Enomoto, or everyone else else in the store, knows about it, right?" ”
Tang Ze said a question, but in an affirmative statement, and his depressed tone made Amuro frown.
After all, Amuro is iron-blooded in his bones, and he still cares for sensitive teenagers, and when Tang Ze shows this kind of hurt posture, of course he can't continue to talk, but comforts: "No, the boss only informed me alone, you can rest assured that you can live here, we will protect your privacy, don't worry." ”
On the way out of the café, Tang Ze brainstormed in his mind, and he quickly selected the next character for himself.
He also began to follow the predetermined character template performance, sneering self-deprecatingly, and in a low and gloomy tone, directly picking out the noun that Amuro had been trying to avoid: "That's right." If you know that the café is inhabited by juvenile delinquents who are guilty of serious assault, it will affect your reputation, and it will be difficult to do business. ”
Amuro's brow furrowed. "Why, don't think so, Tang Ze."
"I'll do my best not to embarrass everyone, don't worry." Tang Ze continued to speak to himself, his eyebrows lowered, although his head had been raised, his gaze was very low, and his long eyelashes covered his bright blue eyes, "I'll be safe, as long as I stay for a year, I won't make trouble for you." ”
His extremely negative and self-defeating appearance really made Amuro can't bear to talk about the topic he wanted to ask at the beginning, so he had to talk about Tang Ze's future school, Didan High School.
"Teidan High School is also a well-known school in Tokyo, and the admission rate is very high, so it is not a bad thing to transfer to another school, and it may be more beneficial for future entrance examinations." Amuro changed the softer wording, if at first it seemed like talking to middle school students, now it is a bit of a coaxing for elementary school students, "The atmosphere of the students here is very good, you can relax." ”
Tang Ze finally raised his gaze and walked all the way to meet Amuro's eyes for the first time.
His lips moved, as if he didn't quite agree with Toru Amuro's assessment, but in the end he didn't speak, just pursed his lips tightly.
Tang Ze's current thought is that you can fool the outsiders.
Is there a place in your rice flower town where you have a good interpersonal atmosphere?
Are you sure? I don't believe it. Civilized and polite rice flower town, right?
This expression Tang Ze had done on the train, and when he stretched the corners of his mouth hard, his cheeks would be very round, like a little baby fat that had not faded, although he himself was indeed very serious, others would only feel cute.
Tang Ze didn't deliberately pretend to be tender, he just hadn't gotten used to this new face yet, and he didn't know how to use it.
But Amuro couldn't resist reaching out to rub his head anyway.
"Relax, nothing to worry about. It's Didan High School over there, so it's close. ”
Karasawa followed Amuro's direction and saw a carving of the name of "Teitan High School" across the street in front of him.
…… It is said that the high school where the P5 protagonist attends is a homonym, and "Xiu End" and "prisoner" are the same pronunciation in Japanese, representing the P5 protagonist's so-called prisoner identity of fate.
Di Dan High School, also a homonym stalk, Di Dan's pronunciation teitan, is the detective's tantei reversed order.
…… I can't get over the harmony in this life, right?
complained vigorously in his heart, Tang Ze still obediently followed Amuro into this well-known two-thorn newt landmark.
