Chapter 5 Is Different

"You're back? Then try the coffee I just made. The best thing to do while waiting for someone is to make coffee. People nowadays are living more and more refined lives. Just like this coffee, only if you are willing to spend time and think hard can you make coffee. Make the best coffee.”

There was a sound of coffee being poured. The boss pushed the poured cup in front of Su Yi and motioned for him to take a sip. Su Yi walked closer, picked it up and took a sip carefully.

"How about it?"

"It's very fragrant. It's a taste I can't match." Su Yi answered honestly. The boss's coffee always has a mellow and fragrant taste, which makes people fall into it unconsciously. Sometimes, even taking a sip of coffee makes people think. Many times in the past, this is a skill that others don’t have.

"Haha, don't be anxious, take your time, you can make delicious coffee as long as you put your heart into it."

The boss smiled and poured himself a cup, and he and Su Yi tasted it silently. After a long time, they drank the last sip of the coffee in their hands and no one said anything.

"The Gluttony has come to District 20." In the end, Su Yi couldn't hold back and told the story about Kamidai Roshi.

"Well, I know. Didn't you defeat her? What? What are you worried about?"

"Don't you ask me why I can defeat her?"

"You are strong, there is no need to question that, but as long as you still need help, the Anding Zone will always open the door for you."

The boss started to put away the tableware in his hands, but Su Yi could feel his tolerance for her.

"Thanks."

"What's the matter? Dong Xiang and the others are back too. Go and have a look. This is also your first time meeting Sifang. He is a good person."

The door of the coffee shop was opened again, and a handsome man with silver-white hair walked in behind Dong Xiang. The man was also carrying a large box in his hand, which seemed to contain a lot of things.

"I'm lucky today. There are two corpses, which can be supplied for a while."

The man put the box on the table without even looking at Su Yi.

"What is this?" Su Yi asked curiously, and the man named Sifang answered him with cold words:

"Not every ghoul can eat as much as you want. What do you think we eat every day?"

The boss looked on with a smile and said nothing, but Su Yi already knew that the box contained probably human flesh.

"Why, you can't stand it? After all, you are also a ghoul, a man-eating monster not much different from us."

Seeing that he was silent, Sifang Lian thought that he looked down on the ghouls' way of living. Su Yi was stunned for a moment and realized that he had been misunderstood. He did not need to eat human flesh, but he did not have much resistance to them. He had experienced In an era where human life is of no concern, there are some things that modern civilized people cannot accept. Although he would not readily agree with them, he did not think there was anything wrong with them. Unexpectedly, his silence caused the man to misunderstand.

"Ahem." The boss interrupted the two people who were vaguely angry and introduced them to each other:

"Sifang, this is the Su Yi I told you about before. Su Yi, he is Sifang Lianshi. He is usually responsible for helping the Anding District collect food. He will be your partner from now on."

Sifang Lianshi walked away without even glancing at Su Yi. With the sound of the door slamming, Su Yi knew that this man named Sifang Lianshi seemed to have some prejudice or opinion against him. He After looking at Dong Xiang, he didn't expect that even Dong Xiang avoided his sight, told the boss and left.

"Don't worry, they are jealous."

"What are you jealous of?" Su Yi was a little confused.

"I'm jealous that you can live like a normal human being. All ghouls are regarded as aliens. They cannot absorb other things except humans and coffee, but they are forced to swallow disgusting things in order to integrate into human life normally. But you are different. You have the power of a ghoul and the same sense of taste as a human. To be honest, your existence makes me a little jealous."

After the boss finished speaking, he still looked at Su Yi with a smile. Su Yi, who was watching him, had the feeling of wanting to understand the ghoul for the first time. Although he was told that he was a ghoul after coming here, he was still a human being at bottom. I don’t understand the situation of ghouls, let alone their feelings. In this world dominated by humans, their existence is regarded as an alien, and because they cause serious harm to human beings, they have become the target of beatings. However, It cannot be denied that there are also existences like the Stable Zone among them. They want to coexist peacefully with humans and gain normal status and respect.

For these reasons, they can eat disgusting food without hesitation, and then spit it out desperately in a deserted place. They will restrain their desires and always live with a mask. They will learn to be human while trying to learn to be human. Being treated as an alien by a sudden enemy and killed.

Compared with humans, their lives are much more difficult. It can be said that nature molded them and abandoned them.

"Don't think too much. Maybe your appearance is a salvation for the ghouls. With you, we all have hope."

The boss cleaned up the dining table and said, "Let's go, go back and rest quickly. We have to work tomorrow morning. It seems that Meiko can't continue working because of something else. But with you, I don't need to recruit new people."

Su Yi slowly returned amid the boss's murmurs.

The next day, the morning sun was warm and it seemed that all the darkness did not exist. Everyone started a new day's work with a smile on their face. The Antique Coffee Shop was open for business as usual, but there seemed to be new customers today.

"Hello, what can I order?"

"Well, this is my first time here. I heard that the coffee here is delicious. Can I have a cup?"

It was a boy with neatly cut hair. He should be a college student from a nearby university. He walked in early on a weekend morning with a book.

Dong Xiang said with a consistent smile in front of outsiders: "Sure, the coffee will be here soon. Can you sit over there and wait for a while?"

The boy nodded, looked around and found a window seat where no one was sitting and quietly read the book he brought. ..
