Night crept in, and Nobuhiko rode his motorcycle to the outside of the store.

If you follow the routine, the trio who meet for the first time will definitely need to communicate, but after Goyo saw the sunset on the horizon, he remembered that Kirishima was still waiting for him, so he could only leave his business card and retire temporarily.

And Kaoru Ichijo is also in charge of the aftermath of No. 37 at the moment, and the overpass is not a place for conversation, so he just exchanged his mobile phone number with Nobuhiko, and left after making an appointment for the next exchange.

Nobuhiko, who has already determined his goal, is temporarily in a situation where he has nothing to do, so he plans to come and talk to the only person he can count as acquaintances in this world.

However, when he first arrived outside the store, he noticed that there was something unusual - it was the meal, but the inside of the store was eerily quiet - and the "Temporarily closed" sign on the door said it all.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Sorry, it's not open tonight."

The manager's voice came from inside the store, and I felt very tired.

Hearing this, Nobuhiko opened his mouth and said:

"It's me, the store manager."

"Oh, it's Nobuhiko."

The store manager seemed to be a little surprised, and the footsteps came from far and near, and then the door opened, and the store manager walked in with a smile on his face:

"Your vacation isn't over yet."

"Originally, there was nothing to do, so I wanted to come here to have a look, but I didn't expect it to be closed today."

"Come in, not only is it closed today, even if you don't come tomorrow, I'll call you."

The manager dragged Nobuhiko to the bar, and then came to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of sake and two wine glasses and put them in front of Nobuhiko:

"It just so happens that I want to talk to someone, too."

The crisp liquid slid down the transparent glass like water.

If it was in a previous life, Nobuhiko would not hesitate to refuse, but now······ Anyway, if he transforms people, alcohol and the like won't work on him at all.

So, there was a crisp clashing sound between the two cups, and Nobuhiko drank it.

Hmm······ The taste is sweeter and lower than the locust nectar drunk in the previous life.

Not to be outdone, the store manager drank the liquor from the glass in one gulp, and then filled the glasses of the two with wine.

After drinking, the conversation box opened, and the store manager looked around with a look of emotion:

"I didn't expect it to come to this point after all."

Nobuhiko looked around—the floors and tables were clean, spotless, but it didn't look like a simple cleaning.

In an instant, Nobuhiko guessed the store manager's plan:

"Have you decided to sell the store anyway?"

"Well, you know what, Nobuhiko, an old friend who didn't come today, I heard that he was killed by an unidentified lifeform on the way to work."

The store manager's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of tears:

"He is a very honest man, he works diligently every day to provide for the children to go to school, and he has never done anything wrong, but such a person has also been killed, why, why is there such a thing as an unidentified lifeform?"

"Manager ·····"

Nobuhiko spoke, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

No language pales in the face of bloody death.

This is the life of ordinary people under the horror of unidentified living beings.

There have been glimpses in the TV series, but they are far from enough.

"My daughter goes to school in Nagoya, and after the unconfirmed appearance of the living form, she told me many times to let me go to Nagoya to live with her, but I couldn't let go of it, and now it seems that it is finally time to leave······"

Speaking of this, the manager seemed to think of something, turned around and took out an envelope from the cabinet under the bar and handed it to Nobuhiko:

"Here, it's yours, it was originally intended to be given to you tomorrow."

"That's a lot."

"Let's count the severance pay, it's better for young people to find a reliable girl."

The store manager said jokingly.

Then, he raised his glass:

"Come on, drink this one, and we'll be separated."

Nobuhiko didn't raise his glass, but asked the store manager:

"Store manager, have you already found a buyer?"

"Not yet, but the location here is good, I'm going to reduce the price a bit, it won't be long."

"Actually, you don't have to sell it."

"Huh?"

"During this time, you can go to Nagoya to spend some time with your daughter, even if you are relaxed, and come back after all the unconfirmed lifeforms are resolved."

Hearing Nobuhiko say this, the store manager frowned, but then, a wry smile appeared on his face:

"How long will it take? One month? A year? Or ten years? Even with Four's help, less than forty have been solved in the past few months. ”

"It'll be resolved soon, probably····· Three months. ”

"Huh?"

"I promise you, and you've said it, there's no need to worry about selling here, so why not try to wait?"

Nobuhiko raised his glass, and the smile on his face seemed to infect the store manager.

After thinking about it for a long time, the store manager seemed to have made up his mind and raised his glass:

"Okay, then I'll go and relax."

Bang——!

The glass was emptied again, and just like that, the two people who were close to the year of birth talked a lot about things, and it wasn't until the bottle was emptied that Nobuhiko took his leave and left the store.

Getting on the locomotive and looking at the store manager who was waving to him at the door, Nobuhiko also smiled and waved, and then the engine car left the place and entered the darkness, and at the same time, he also made a decision in his heart.

The next day, Nobuhiko took the initiative to contact Kaoru Ichijo:

"Hey, Mr. Ichijo? I'd like to talk to you about the information about the unidentified lifeforms, but I don't have his phone number, so I'm sorry for you to let me know······ Yes, I have time throughout the day····· Well, okay. ”

On the other side, after Kaoru hung up the phone, he couldn't help but sigh:

"He doesn't know how to get a mobile phone······"

In desperation, I could only make another call.

"Toot ······ Toot ······ Hello, there is an oriental ········ here."

"Hello, is Yusuke Goshiro here?"

Hearing Daddy's familiar voice, Yi Yi hurriedly said.

"Oh, the five generations, please wait a minute, the five generations ——!"

Daddy's energetic voice came over the phone.

The exchange between Kaoru Ichijo and the five generations was in full swing, and eventually, they decided on the time and place.

"Mr. Akizuki, can I see you at Seongnam University at two o'clock this afternoon?"

"Seongnam University? I know. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the gate."

The phone hung up, Nobuhiko looked at the time, then came to the table, sorted out the A4 paper on the table, and took out the file bag that had been prepared and put it in.

"Jonan University, I don't know if there will be Hongo Takeshi."

After packing everything up, Nobuhiko muttered subconsciously.
