The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Kirishima Touka snorted in dissatisfaction and turned her head to the side. Due to security considerations, most of the guests received by the Anding District are regular customers.

Although there are new customers coming in, those unlucky ones usually don’t get the chance to come back a second time.

When humans run into a pile of ghouls, it's like delivering food to their doorstep.

"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."

Impatiently, Kirishima Touka pointed at the door, signaling Lin Qiao to get out quickly.

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

"Don't chase me away all of a sudden. We've known each other for a while, am I really that unpopular?"

"It's best if you have this self-awareness."

"Hey, hey, you have a cute face but you say such vicious words, it's really hurtful... Well, being sharp-tongued is also a cute thing, but if you keep going like this, even I will feel sad."

After saying that, Lin Qiao frowned, leaned his arms on the wooden table, and made a sad face.

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

Kirishima Touka deadpanned, “No, that’s not necessary at all.”

On the contrary, it would be a great help if you could leave quickly.

"...So cold, without even a hint of hesitation..."

He showed an almost exaggerated expression of sadness and leaned back in his seat, but Lin Qiao had no intention of getting up and leaving.

But just as he was about to say something else, a male clerk with a slightly funny big nose came over.

"Hey, hey, as an elder here, I have to say a few words to you, Dong Xiang, you must always smile when facing customers, and remember the rules of a waiter, Smailu, Smailu~"

Gu Jianyuan preached with the tone of an experienced person, and then demonstrated a perfect smile.

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

"To this guy? Smile? You must be kidding!"

Although he was dissatisfied, he still left while complaining.

Even though she usually lacks respect for Gu Jianyuan, that's just because of her personality.

"Welcome to Anding District. I, Gu Jianyuan, will provide you with the most sincere service."

Lin Qiao had a look on her face as if she was finally saved, and then she cast an expectant look at Gu Jianyuan, who had a funny big nose.

It's the same CV as my transformed self.

"Come to think of it, this customer just wanted our specialty coffee, right?" he asked with a standard business smile on his face.

"In that case, I have to recommend our best seller to you - Anding District's special blended coffee. It has never received any negative reviews since it was put on sale. It has a moderate bitterness. Even people who are new to coffee will feel refreshed. What do you think?"

Just like the hosts of shopping shows promoting their own products, Gu Jianyuan introduced the items with HOT labels on the menu in a slightly exaggerated tone.

After hearing this, Lin Qiao cooperated very well and acted as if to say, "I really like Lei."

"That sounds good. I'll have one, and two strawberry mousse cakes."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Motioning to Lin Qiao to wait for 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, it's natural. We respect every customer's choice...Excuse me, do you want to add more sugar?"

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

“More cilantro and green onions, please.”

Chapter 16 What Good Luck

As the time got a little later and the sun started to set, most of the customers in the store had left. The people in the cafe finally ended their busy day and could go home and rest.

"Dong Xiang, I heard that you had an argument with a customer today, is that right?" The white-haired old man who was wiping coffee cups behind the bar asked with narrowed eyes.

"Sorry, Manager, I couldn't help it, so..."

The blue-haired girl who was busy putting the tables and chairs back in place turned her head with an apologetic look on her face.

"It's okay Touka, I'm not blaming you, I'm just asking what happened."

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

But whenever she thought of Lin Qiao's face, she became extremely angry.

Although he doesn't look the type that people would find offensive, the things he says always make people furious.

"That guy is obviously here to cause trouble! Or there must be something wrong with his brain!"

In short, one of the brain and the body always needs repair!

He flipped the chair upside down on the table with great force, making a loud "bang" sound, which made Gu Jianyuan, who was holding a mop on the side, couldn't help but look sideways.

"Hey, Touka, no matter how angry you are, you can't take it out on them..."

He reminded the other party helplessly. To him, these old guys who joined the Anding District with him had a different meaning and could not afford to suffer the harm of the young people.

It’s a pity that the other party ignored him as usual.

"But then again, what Touka said is not wrong. Even for me, this is the first time I've seen such a... uh, difficult human being."

Gu Jianyuan struggled for a moment about how to describe it, and finally chose a word that sounded slightly less rude.

"Adding cilantro and green onions to coffee... Honestly, when I heard this, I thought there was something wrong with my ears."

"Coriander? Scallions?"

Fangcun Gongshan's hands trembled, and his expression was obviously almost stunned: "Such a request is really... rare."

"That's what I mean! Anyone who makes such a request must have something wrong with their brain!"

Kirishima Touka agreed, but was signaled by the big sister Rujianxuan on the side to stay calm.

"So what then? Any questions?"

"This...at least it's definitely not a 'white dove'."

Gu Jianyuan understood what he meant and shook his head. Judging from the other party's performance, the situation they were most worried about had not yet occurred. Otherwise, as a scout, Lin Qiao's actions would easily alert the enemy.

"But if we really want to talk about problems, it's not without some problems. I can only say that it feels very strange... First of all, he is definitely not from our side, but the rest, uh, how can I put it...?"

"Well, let me think about it. If I really have to describe it, the smell of that person is a little too light."

After hesitating for a long time, Gu Jianyuan replied with a frown.

It’s not like there haven’t been human customers entering the stable zone before.

Although the strong smell of coffee can indeed suppress the hunger of ghouls to a certain extent and make them ignore humans, it is ultimately impossible to cover it up completely.

This is the first time such a situation has occurred.

"Where's Touka?"

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, the white-haired old man turned his head to look at Kirishima Touka, who nodded thoughtfully.

"Indeed, the smell of that person was too light. Now that I think about it, I actually had no appetite when facing him."

At first she thought it was because the smell of coffee in the store was too strong, and she was angry at the time, so she subconsciously ignored the smell of the other person.

But now it seems that this is not entirely the case.

Especially when there are other people in the store who feel the same way, then such uncertainties are very important to pay attention to, otherwise their stable lives may be gone at any time.

"Manager, could it be those new guys that have appeared recently?"

Although the information about Amazon is still being blocked, the targets of the blockade are only ordinary people. It is basically public information among investigators, and there is also a lot of related information circulating among ghouls.

Although those guys can eat humans like ghouls, their temperaments are much more violent than ordinary ghouls, and they never follow the rules. There are even some tricky guys who specialize in preying on ghouls.

With all these factors taking into account, Dong Xiang naturally thought of this.

only.....

"I don't agree with Dong Xiang on this point."

Gu Jianyuan waved his hand and expressed his opinion.

"I have also heard about those new guys, but they are different from us. Ghouls can use coffee as a temporary substitute when they are hungry, but those guys seem to only eat humans. No, it's better to say that they can't accept other foods at all."

"Even if you force something into their mouths that they don't like, they will spit it out the next second. In short, they are a pretty stubborn bunch."

They are simply a group of picky eaters who don't listen to advice.

Even ghouls would be ashamed of their extremely picky eating habits. It would be very difficult for them to just swallow the food and pretend to eat it, and this was why he disagreed.

At least he could see that Lin Qiao was really enjoying the food instead of just pretending to like it.

"So that guy is a human?"

"At least that's what it seems to be for now, it's just his personality and taste... well, I just don't know how to describe it." Gu Jianyuan spread his hands helplessly and continued.

"As for the taste... I remember that there seems to be a disease called "RC cell deficiency" among humans? Although the number is very rare, this can explain it."

Rc cells, a substance that only exists in humans and ghouls.

The same is true for the fundamental reason why ghouls prey on humans. Only by preying on humans can ghouls maintain the concentration of Rc cells in their bodies, otherwise they will die.

For humans, if too many RC cells are produced in the body, it will cause RC cell excess secretion disease.

If it is too little or cannot be secreted, it will cause RC cell deficiency, which is the opposite of the above situation.

The symptoms of the two are completely opposite, but both are extremely rare cases, with an incidence rate of one in a million people being considered high.

There is no cure, and the cause of the disease has not yet been determined. Some in the medical community believe it is related to human genes, but there has been a lack of substantiation.

'So it's really just a sick human?'

Yoshimura Kozen, the powerful SSS-class ghoul who was once hailed as the "Unkillable Owl" by CCG, was standing there silently thinking about something.

Because of his experiences in his youth, he knew more than the average person and was more aware of the twisted inside story of this world.

But because of this, for the sake of his own and others' survival, he has to take more things into consideration. For some things, others can easily comfort themselves with the word "probability", but he can't.

After a long while, the old man sighed and said, "....District 20 has not been peaceful recently. The new man-eating creatures have appeared, and the ghoul investigators are becoming more and more active. It seems like a sign of a storm."

Putting the coffee cup on the counter, Yoshimura Kousen sighed softly.

"Touka, find a chance to inform everyone. Ask everyone to be patient during this period and try to reduce predation. Otherwise, it will attract the attention of CCG. Then, I am afraid that more investigators will enter Area 20."

"I understand, Manager."

"Also, regarding the young man you and Gu Jian met today...If possible, it would be best not to cause any trouble in the near future."

Don't forget to give a reminder before leaving.

Usually, humans who leave the stable area will be targeted by the ghouls in the store, and eventually die in a corner where no one cares.

Everyone in the store took a tacit attitude towards this kind of thing. After all, they were ghouls after all, but it was better to stay as quiet as possible in the current situation.

"Don't worry, manager. No one would like something that doesn't even have a bit of flavor."

After saying that, Kirishima Touka curled her lips and then muttered softly. Although it was a disease, in a society full of ghouls, it should be a blessing no matter how you look at it.

"Rc cell deficiency?... What a lucky guy..."

......

"They didn't follow me out. They are such a lucky bunch..."

In an empty alley less than two blocks away from the coffee shop, a two-meter-tall red-haired man was hiding in the dark, holding a smoke gun in one hand and a smoke sword in the other.
