Chapter 9 The folk customs are simple and simple, and the city of Dongmu

"Roland-kun?"

It was another dull morning, and Roland was walking back to his apartment when a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. When I turned my head, it was Yan Feng Qili who had just run down from the uphill slope.

After a chance encounter that day, the two formed a simple running friend relationship. Knowledge of both parties is limited to the names and identities of the community.

Despite the influence of past prejudices, Roland has to admit that it is a pleasure to get along with Yan Fengqili, even if his heart is full of curiosity about Roland's words that day. The other party's depressed and cautious personality also made Yan Feng Qili not make any superfluous movements.

At this time, he will neither impose his desires on others, nor do any offensive things, such as inquiring about his identity, or even asking questions like checking a household register, he maintains a wonderful sense of distance.

For Roland, who doesn't have a high sense of security, this way of getting along is the best.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Yan Fengjun, there have been a lot of shifts in the past two days, it seems that the store manager is going to be transferred."

"This means that Roland-kun is going to be promoted, it should be a good thing."

Yan Feng Qili can't understand why he should be happy because of his promotion, he is the kind of weirdo who treats everything as if he was a chicken rib except for his goal, and will do it, but he will not feel pity to discard it.

But he still tried his best to understand the meaning of this passage from the realm of common sense.

"Compared with promotion, I still hope that the store manager can find another part-time job soon, I still have a shift next, go first, Yan Fengjun."

Roland pursed his lips and didn't comment too much on the matter.

He just needs a suitable identity, and unlike Kira Yoshikage, who cares a lot about his image and uses famous brands extravagantly in clothing and other items, his materialistic desire is quite low.

"I see."

Yan Feng Qili nodded, and left silently, this is the current relationship between the two, although his heart is full of doubts, but Yan Feng Qili has always been a serious person, and even more so when faced with the answer he is pursuing.

For him who is confused, in order to find the answer, he must be guided, and in order to get this guidance and truth, he can ignore the will of his father and master, and give up all the external things he has in the world.

Therefore, he is also very cautious about whether the other party can give an answer, and in the past few days, not only Roland is observing him, but he is also observing Roland.

Although there is no information about Roland, since he has himself as a reference, these are useless things.

He believes in his own vision very much, his father and his master are all characters who are living in the right rules and integrating with the world, but through the observation of the past few days, Yan Fengqili is convinced that this young man named Roland is different.

He is very self-disciplined, and he manages his time in an orderly manner, even if it is only a short conversation, he can speak amazingly about politics, economics, and the root causes of social phenomena, and he is also in action, he is like a beginner on the first day, and gradually adjusts to the most standard posture in the next few days, and the rhythm of breathing is not disordered, and there is no problem as a textbook demonstration.

This kind of excellence between speech and action cannot be concealed, and there is no doubt that Roland has extraordinary abilities, but he has a sense of alienation from the world. He doesn't care about the recognition, wealth, and ambition that comes with great ability.

In general, if you only look at the lifestyle, Roland is very similar to himself.

But he is fundamentally different from himself, that kind of enthusiasm, joy, as if he has found a purpose.

Halfway through, Yan Feng Qili suddenly turned his head and looked at Roland, who had already left the street and couldn't even see a shadow.

Already convinced, Roland found the answer.

For the first time in his life, Yan Feng Qili had a throbbing feeling in his heart, obviously in the face of his father's approval, at the wedding, and when he harvested offspring, he did not have this feeling, but Yan Feng Qili's heart told him clearly.

He wants to get out of this loneliness, he wants to end this suffering, he wants to be able to understand his companions......

- He wants to be friends with the man named Roland.

"Strange?"

Roland, who pays attention to the concept of time, came to the store a little early, and when he entered the lounge, his movements were abrupt.

He frowned, a wary look on his face, and his piercing eyes looked around.

It took a long time for Roland to look confused, except for the store manager, who was yawning behind the counter, and after confirming that there was nothing around.

I don't know if it's because of the increase in vitality and mental power after becoming a stand-in messenger, or the intuition brought by strong luck, Roland occasionally feels some kind of premonition.

And just now, what he noticed was such a signal.

It's not the sense of danger that a hunter is targeting, it's the strange intuition that something is in trouble.

"Did you get caught up in some terrible guy?"

Roland didn't think much about it, entered the break room, and began to prepare for work.

Soon, before the opening of business hours, the store manager did not miss the appointment, and brought a newcomer to reduce the burden on Roland.

"Luo Lanjun, this is a newcomer who wants to work with you from today, Yu Sheng Ryunosuke, although Yu Shengjun also has part-time work experience, but after all, are you a senior, please take care of him in the future work."

"Hello, senior Roland, I'm Ryunosuke Yusheng, please advise."

"Please advise."

Although he did not intend to blame the previous encounter as an unrepeatable accident, Roland still showed a rather complicated expression in the face of this situation.

Ryunosuke Yusheng,Although I've heard of this guy, it seems that he sees his evil deeds as the creation of art.,Regard yourself as an artist.,So,In addition to creating works,,Daily consumption is earned through a good part-time job.,Firmly guarding his perverted identity as a serial murderer.,For the first-class robbers, I have a sense of superiority that is not with him.。

But seeing this kind of scene in person, there is still a sense of absurdity, obviously with the talent of a professional killer, not to go to the world to make a name for himself, willing to stay in a convenience store and work honestly?

Is this what a perverted murderer should do?

After a short conversation, Ryunosuke Yusheng got to work very well and left the space to Roland and the store manager.

"Well, that's good, isn't it? I was also a little surprised during the interview, but I didn't expect that although he was dressed a little fancy, Yu Shengjun was actually very enthusiastic and very easy to get along with. ”

"I don't doubt that, the other day, he borrowed me a hundred yen to help me who was struggling."

"yes, I'll just say?"

The store manager patted his chest happily, "Yu Shengjun's personality is very consistent with Dongmu City, Dongmu used to be famous for its simple folk customs, hey, I'm so lucky to meet the two of you when I need to find someone." ”

Ignoring the store manager who was still sighing, Roland lowered his eyes, moving his fingers a little impatiently, and the nails on his hands that had only been neatly trimmed yesterday were now growing another centimeter at a slow but firm pace, like a new sprout.
