The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

And as a Kamen Rider, he always rides an electric bike to go out, which is a bit too stupid.

As the thoughts in his mind changed, the billboards on the roadside continued to fly behind him. Until he passed a small coffee shop on the street, the name of the shop on the sign attracted his attention.

The name of the coffee shop is "Antique", or "Antique District".

"A shop run by a ghoul...it's kind of interesting."

Lin Qiao muttered to himself and pressed the brake. Under the influence of inertia, the electric car continued to move forward for a certain distance and then stopped steadily on the side of the road.

As we all know, the only food that ghouls can accept, apart from the humans running around in the streets, is coffee.

With such limited choices, it’s really curious what kind of flavor will be brewed... Well, to be honest, he doesn’t really understand these things, but he should be better than the orangutan pickpocket anyway. ?

After finding a place to place the electric car, Lin Qiao walked towards the coffee shop called "Anding District".

Before entering the interior, you can already smell the faint smell of coffee at the door, and the slightly faded sign seems to silently tell the past years of this store.

Pushing open the door, as the crisp and melodious sound of wind chimes rang, an extremely fragrant smell of coffee poured into Lin Qiao's nose. There is no doubt that this is an old shop that has been open for some years, and the barista here is even better. Have superb skills.

After glancing around, I saw that the decoration style inside was more Western-style. The bar counter, cabinets and some tables and chairs in the store were also distressed. A lot of thought must have been spent on the original decoration.

There were many customers enjoying coffee in the store. When Lin Qiao walked in, they looked over in unison.

But after noticing Lin Qiao's gaze, he immediately withdrew his gaze and pretended that nothing happened.

Omosy Roy.

With a smile on his face, he found a place to sit nearby.

At the same time, a blue-haired waiter in the store walked over with a smile on his face to welcome customers.

"Welcome, what do you need?"

"Two cups of milk tea."

"Milk, milk tea?"

"Yes, two cups of milk tea, one to take away and one to drink now." Lin Qiao looked confident.

After repeating it again and confirming that she heard correctly, Kirishima Touka felt like she was about to die.

What kind of person would come to a coffee shop and order milk tea?

If you don't need the brain, you can give it to the ghouls. There are still many poor ghouls in District 20 who are struggling to make ends meet, okay?

"Um...this guest, as a coffee shop, we do not provide milk tea here for the time being."

Kirishima Touka felt that she needed to "kindly" remind the other party that her place was actually a coffee shop.

"No, that's really a pity."

"..."

Although Kirishima Touka who was standing by wanted to say that it was not a pity at all, selling milk tea in a coffee shop was completely evil!

"Speaking of which, this young lady looks familiar. Have you seen her somewhere?" Lin Qiao leaned forward slightly and came closer, pretending to be recalling.

"Yeah, really? A lot of people say that... Hmm!"

After a fight, I wanted to deal with it casually, but Kirishima Touka discovered that the other party had unknowingly approached a dangerous distance.

This feeling... is so close!

She could even feel the other person's breath.

According to the conventions of some novels or comics, as a girl, she should feel shy at this time, and then form a bad relationship with the other person.

But in reality, a normal person would only feel disgusted by such an almost intimate gesture from a stranger.

——She is no exception.

She had seen a lot of people strike up a conversation, but this was the first time she had seen someone who was so aggressive in their noses and faces.

Resisting the urge to rush people away, even the business-like smile on his face that he had specially practiced for work was trembling: "This guest invites you..."

"Oh, I think about it, aren't you the one who was with little sister Hinami in the park some time ago... uh, the blue-haired high school girl who likes to pretend to be cool?"

I really want to punch this guy!

Then the next second Lin Qiao said a name that made the other party furious.

"Indeed, I remember calling him Kirishima Understanding King, right?"

A tic-tac-toe appeared on Kirishima Touka's forehead.

"Who has that weird name!? It's Touka, Kirishima Touka! Since we're going to strike up a conversation, please remember other people's names!"

"It's Dongxiang...it's such a cute name."

“No one is asking for your opinion!”

But after she vented her anger and calmed down, she was finally reminded of some memories of the past few days.

Indeed, the last time she played with Hinami, she had seen this strange man in front of her. However, at that time, in order to prevent Hinimi from communicating too much with him and discovering his identity as a ghoul, she made an excuse to Brought Hinami back.

But I didn’t expect to meet him again today!

I didn’t expect that the other party’s true character would be so irritating!

hateful!

Thinking about it this way, she shouldn't have gone shopping alone that day and left Hinami alone.

"Your eyes are very rude, Miss Dong Xiang. Although there is something wrong with me, and when it comes to striking up a conversation, I think it's still a bit..."

"Do you have an opinion?"

"Well, of course... no."

Faced with Kirishima Touka's "nuclear" gaze, Lin Qiao decisively chose to shut up and pretended to be "I'm guilty and I'm deeply reflecting on it."

"So, it's Mr. Ishimori, right? What do you want to do when you come to my place of work? A pervert? A stalker?"

"Before we discuss this topic, don't you realize there is something wrong with your attitude towards customers? Your image as a friendly waitress is crumbling."

"You have to be a serious customer, and please answer my questions directly, otherwise don't blame me for calling the police." His eyes were full of scrutiny, and he was ready to take out his mobile phone and dial 110 in the next second.

Other customers in the store also looked at him for fun, but the next second they were all stared back by Kirishima Touka.

"Well, I said I just found a shop on the street and came in. Do you believe it?"

"Just found a coffee shop to buy milk tea?"

"It's not all my fault. Look, there's no sign outside. Who would know it's a coffee shop just by looking at the name?"

"...Hmph, I guess what you said makes sense."

Kirishima Touka made a dissatisfied sound and threw her head to the side. For safety reasons, most of the guests received in the Anding District were regular customers.

Although there are not no new customers coming in, those unlucky ones often don't get a second chance to visit.

Humans running into the ghouls are really delivering food to their doorsteps.

"If you want to buy milk tea, turn right and walk about 100 meters. That street is full of milk tea shops. We only sell coffee here, so please don't continue to disturb our business."

A somewhat impatient Kirishima Touka pointed at the door and signaled Lin Qiao to get out of here.

After taking off the disguise of the cute waitress, the girl in front of her was like a powder keg that was about to explode.

"Please don't drive people away suddenly. We all just got to know each other. Am I so unpopular with others?"

"It's best for you to have this self-knowledge."

"Hey, it's too hurtful to say such vicious words with a cute face... Well, the venomous tongue is also a cute point, but if it continues like this, even I will feel sad."

After saying that, Lin Qiao dropped her face and put her arms on the wooden table, looking sad.

"How about this? As compensation, let me order two cups of the shop's specialty coffee to help you increase your sales. How about that?"

Kirishima Touka said expressionlessly: "No, it's not necessary at all."

Rather, it would be a big help if you could leave quickly.

"....So indifferent, without even a trace of hesitation..."

She showed an almost exaggerated sad expression and leaned back on her seat. However, Lin Qiao had no intention of getting up and leaving.

But just when he was about to continue saying something, a male clerk with a slightly funny big nose came over.

"Yeah, yeah, as an elder here, I have to say a few words to you, Dong Xiang. You should smile at all times when facing guests. You should remember the rules of the waiter, Smailu, Smailu. Mailu~”

Madoka Kojian preached in a tone that sounded like someone who had experienced it before, and then gave a perfect smile demonstration.

He winked at her calmly, indicating that he could just leave it to him.

"At this guy? Smile? Are you kidding!"

I was dissatisfied, but I still complained and left.

Despite her usual lack of respect for Madoka Furuma, that's just because of her personality.

"Welcome to "Anding District", I, Gu Jian Yuan'er, will provide you with the most sincere service from now on,"

Lin Qiao looked like she had finally been saved, and then turned her expectant gaze to Madoka Furuma, who had a funny big nose.

It’s the same CV as me after the transformation.

"Speaking of which, this customer just wanted our specialty coffee, right?" He asked with a standard business smile on his face.

"In this case, I have to recommend our store's hot product to you - the special blended coffee from Anding District. It has never received any bad reviews since it was sold. It has a moderate bitter taste, and even people who are new to coffee will experience it. I feel like my eyes are brightening, what do you think?"

Just like the host on a shopping show promoting his own products, Madoka Furuma introduced it in a slightly exaggerated tone, pointing to the HOT label on the menu.

After hearing this, Lin Qiao was very cooperative and acted like "I like Lei very much."

"Sounds good, let's have one, and then two strawberry mousse cakes."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Indicating Lin Qiao to wait a moment, the man with the funny big nose was about to leave, but was stopped again: "One more thing, can you add a little more to the coffee?"

"Oh, this is natural. We respect every customer's choice... Do you want to add more sugar?"

"No, normal sugar is fine." Lin Qiao shook her head in denial.

"Please add more cilantro and green onions."

"?"

Chapter 16: Good Luck

Later, when the sun gradually sets, all the customers in the store have left, and everyone in the coffee shop has finally finished their busy day and can call it a day and rest.

"Dong Xiang, I heard that you had an argument with a customer today, right?" Behind the bar, the white-haired old man who was wiping the coffee cup asked with squinted eyes.

"Sorry store manager, I couldn't hold it back for a moment, so..."

The cool-looking blue-haired girl who was busy returning the tables and chairs turned her head with an apologetic expression.

"It's okay Dong Xiang, I'm not blaming you, I'm just asking about the specific story."

For ghouls, disguise is an extremely important part if they want to live in human society.

But when she thought of Lin Qiao's face in her mind, she became extremely angry.

Although he doesn't look like an annoying type, his words always make people angry.

"That guy obviously came here to cause trouble! Otherwise, there is something wrong with his brain!"

In short, there is always something in the brain and body that needs repairing!

He pushed the chair upside down on the table with force, making a "bang" sound, which made Madoka Furuma, who was holding a mop on the side, couldn't help but look sideways.

"Hey, Dong Xiang, no matter how angry you are, you can't vent on them..."

He reluctantly reminded the other party that for him, these old guys who joined the Anding District with him had a different meaning, but he could not afford the troubles of young people.

It's a pity that the other party ignored him as always.

"But having said that, Dong Xiang is right about this. Even this is the first time for me to see such a... uh, difficult human being."

Madoka Furuma struggled with how to describe it, and finally chose a word that sounded slightly less rude.

"Add coriander and green onions to coffee... To be honest, when I heard this, I thought there was something wrong with my ears."

"Cilantro? Onions?"
