"Of course, this is just my own opinion, maybe you just didn't need it in the past, after all"

The words still coming from ahead broke the cyberwalker's messy thoughts.

Without even thinking about the reason for his sudden idea, David showed a gentle smile when he saw the other party's face with natural and complete skin due to the lack of transformation and implants:

"Among the rich themes of cyberpunk, happiness and hatred are also a natural part, right?"

Staring fixedly at each other, David was silent for a few seconds before showing a natural wry smile.

"...indeed."

Thinking about what the other person said, I really seldom put on a face or suppress my emotions, except for the worst period.

"Welcome, what would you like to order?"

"A cup of black coffee without milk and sugar."

Generally speaking, only young people who try to look handsome and cool will express such a need. The kind waiter may remind one or two, but as Omer is a familiar face of this store, the waiter did not hesitate to hear it Nodding, he turned to look at the astonished David: "Sir, what do you want?"

"Uh, just order your signs here."

It’s good to choose soda or anything in the beverage store. Anyway, David, who is definitely not coffee, didn’t notice that after he subconsciously said this, Omer’s face on the opposite side showed a bit of weirdness.

"Are you sure? Okay," "Wait, give him a lemon sour instead. No, just hot cocoa."

"?" The clerk turned his head to look, and David looked at Omer, then at the clerk: "Just hot cocoa."

At least it's a familiar name, David thought.

As for the other party's small temporary change of words, David, who didn't like soda drinks at all, didn't think that the reason was on himself, only thought that the other party didn't like soda drinks either.

"Ok."

It seems that there is no opinion on the customer's order at all, and the waiter who always maintains a business smile is far away.

And David also turned his head to look at Omer: "What is the sign of this store?"

Omer's intention to stop is so obvious, but David can't figure out what kind of scourge a coffee shop's signboard can be.

It can't be iced Americano, can it?

"Honey special drink, in order to attract racehorse girls, and then attract other people to gather for business," Amo said helplessly, "After all, although this coffee shop is opened opposite the school, there are not many students who like to drink coffee. "

"So the honey drink is not suitable for human consumption?"

After staying in this city for a few days, he has seen many different races, but he doesn't know much about existences like race horse girls.

It's not so much that I'm not interested, it's better to say that there are too many and thick materials, and I don't know where to start.

"It can't be said that it is not suitable, but the signature is extra thick and thick plus licorice. I don't recommend you to gamble on compatibility."

If it's a familiar guy like Bi Ze, Omer wouldn't bother reminding him.

But like David, who is neither familiar nor familiar, he is the most polite.

"Is that so?" It sounded like he had escaped a catastrophe. David subconsciously gathered his unchanging yellow jacket. Looking at the lively crowd in the distance, he couldn't help sighing again in his heart that this place is indeed very different from Night City.

There will not be these relatives and friends in front of the examination room in Night City, at most a few high-end floating vehicles will be parked.

"So you didn't come to look for Bize?"

"……Um?"

Hearing this suddenly, David didn't react immediately, but at this moment, the waiter pushing the cart cut into the conversation.

"Hello, your hot cocoa," "Ah, thanks."

"Please wait for your black coffee." "Okay."

The sudden interruption gave David some time to sort out his thoughts. After the waiter left, he held hot cocoa and looked at Omer who had been looking sideways at the crowd in the examination room.

".Yes, I came to see you, thank you,"

"I see." Omer nodded knowingly.

"I thought you'd be surprised."

So the surprise was David.

Looking at Omer who turned his head to meet his eyes, and seeing his calm expression without surprise, David felt the hallucinatory feeling from before rising again in his heart.

He felt like he was about to grasp, the source of that sense of resemblance.

"I made a bold guess," Omer smiled. "I still remember that I gave you the contact information, but you didn't call, but you found here and invited me to have a chat."

"So I first guessed that you came to Bize, but there is no need to call me, because you were clearly not used to talking to me before, right?"

"But if you're looking for me, then it's probably something formal enough to warrant a face-to-face ceremony. This is my guess. It's easy to understand, isn't it? Simple enough."

Seeing him being so frank, David was a little speechless, and smiled wryly.

"Aren't you afraid of guessing wrong?"

"If you guess wrong, please tell me what's wrong, and try to be more accurate next time," Homa shrugged. "I have an elder who always tells me that mistakes are not a problem, and mistakes can find problems."

"He also hoped that I would try to guess other people's identities and behaviors when observing others, just like training a detective."

"It's not important to guess wrong, what's important is to correct the mistakes and complete the accumulation. This may be one of the few decent words he said."

When telling what that person said, there was a warm smile on Omer's face, and it was seeing such a smile that David realized that the other party's previous smiles were only out of polite restraint .

But he was so good at faking that David couldn't see the problem with those smiles until he saw his real ones.

That's it. So that's it. David finally figured out the similarities between the two.

Preciseness, rationality, and that not obvious alienation are very dangerous qualities, but they cannot be said to be destined to be enemies.

After all, Faraday's appearance has already condensed, and he is still a young man similar to his own age.

Despite his unexpected maturity, he is still running around for the school exams, and he has an unexpected tolerance for Bize, and is more responsible enough to leave his contact information.

Maybe. I can try to become friends with him, influence his development, and prevent him from taking the step of Faraday.
David looked at him thinking silently. To be honest, it was quite rude to stare at others without speaking. It could even be said to be torture-like treatment, but Omer didn't seem uncomfortable.

"Hello, your black coffee." "Ah yes, thank you."

He even accepted the coffee with a normal face, so naturally that the waiter didn't notice the strange atmosphere here.

"Omer."

Facing the young man who was gently blowing on the surface of the coffee and taking a sip, David asked solemnly and earnestly:

"Can you be my friend?"

"I thought we were already." There was no surprise on the young man's face, as if this development was exactly in line with his guess.

"I'm talking like Bizer"

When he said this, he froze in place, and suddenly realized that he was as reckless as the boy when his relatives were still there, and the reaction of the other party who slowly put down the coffee cup and immediately burst out laughing was even more shocking. He was embarrassed.

"Ha——" I tried to suppress it at the beginning, but the corners of my mouth still showed a wanton arc, "Hahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

"..." David was a little angry, but he couldn't say anything. Thinking back on what he said just now, he felt that the prosthetic body was getting warmer, although it was not as good as the first night he spent with Lucy.

"I'm sorry, ha, I'm sorry, I just didn't expect it," almost out of breath from laughing, against the gazes of countless people that he tried to avoid in the past, Aomer raised his hand as a comforting gesture, "I just didn't expect it, I didn't expect that your image, David, was so different from the modeling in my mind."

"Modeling?" David was a little concerned about the meaning of this phrase.

"That's not important. If you're really curious, I can tell you later. In short, maybe I should congratulate you. You've returned to the look you missed the most, right?"

"you"

David froze.

"A lot younger, isn't it? This is exactly what I expected. I admit that the success rate of my guess is not ideal, but such a big deviation is really long gone."

Homa gradually calmed down his breathing, and even the flushed face from laughing just now began to disappear, and then he smiled and suggested to the confused David:
"Ever thought about starting from scratch?"

David was still staring at him blankly.

And he picked up the coffee cup again and took a sip.

"In this brand new world, the state you miss the most may not be ideal, but it can be shaped more ideally."

"I" David's mother Gloria's face flashed in his mind.

"You don't have to rush to make a decision, you can take a sip of hot cocoa to calm down, the warm sweetness helps to stabilize the body and mind."

"..." David, who followed his advice with a complicated expression, said with some dissatisfaction, "You haven't answered my previous question."

"It's still the same sentence." Omer said with a smile.

"I thought we already were."
