The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Emmm, that’s right.

After tidying up her clothes, Lin Qiao sighed helplessly as she looked at Dong Xiang's attitude that said "you can't leave unless you tell her."

It doesn't matter anyway, just treat it as satisfying her curiosity and comforting her inner dissatisfaction.

"All of it?"

"Tell me everything!"

"Then let's start from the beginning..."

Lin Qiao scratched his head, found a place to sit down, and said with a serious face.

"——On that day 22 years ago, I was born in the city's Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. I was a healthy baby weighing 7.6 kilograms..."

Squinting her eyes, the blue-haired girl was looking for a suitable angle to hit someone hard on the face.

"Ahem, no more jokes, no more jokes. Anyway, do you remember the news a while ago? A gang was buying and selling humans to ghouls."

"Well, I heard that CCG was busy for a long time, but they didn't catch the main culprit, so they just let it go..."

It was also because of this incident that the ghouls in Area 20 had a hard time during that time, so even the usually high-profile Tsukiyama Shuu fled abroad.

"To be honest, I did it."

"......"

It's a bit unexpected, but it doesn't feel completely unexpected.

At least it seems a little more reasonable this way, and some of his behaviors can be explained reasonably.

"Anyway, it's a slightly long story..."

Chapter 39 My Confidence Work

Miss Ryoko and Hinami finally stayed in the stable area.

Although it will be difficult to recover from the pain of losing loved ones in a short period of time, at least there is no need to worry about being sent to District 24, which is like a cesspool.

This can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

But to be honest, although he successfully prevented the mother and daughter of Dikou from entering Area 24, Lin Qiao himself was quite interested in that place. After all, he was an anime fan and had not read the comics, but the completeness of the content of the animation was...

Just don’t say it.

So if possible, he really wants to go and see it.

.......It's a pity that, apparently because they saw the miserable plight of the shepherds and others at the foot of the mountain, the people in Anding District refused to take him there, which made him feel very sorry.

What bad intentions could Spider-Man have?

Well, that’s going a bit off topic.

Anyway, at present, Fueguchi Ryoko is receiving induction training from Irimi Xuan and the others. I think that soon, when the coffee shop starts business, there will be one more married woman waitress in the coffee shop.

It is worth mentioning that when Dong Xiang once again proposed to avenge Mr. Fueguchi, this woman who was more qualified than anyone else to choose revenge, took the initiative to choose to give up.

Does she love her husband?

Love.

Does she hate Mado Wuxu?

hatred.

But even so no one could blame her.

Giving up revenge on the investigator did not mean giving up hatred, nor did it mean she lost her love for her husband.

For her, who has lost her identity as a wife, the only thing left is her identity as a mother.

Revenge is important, but raising my daughter is more important.

She didn't want her daughter to grow up in an environment of hatred, and she didn't want other people to lose their lives because of revenge.

Perhaps allowing the enemy who killed your husband to live would be considered cowardly, but from another perspective, isn't this also a kind of courage?

Lin Qiao didn't know what kind of will drove her to make such a decision, but at least it was certain that she had some qualities that she didn't possess.

It is something that cannot be described in words, warm and soft, yet indestructible.

As for the members of the Yamashita group brought back by Sifang Lianshi, Lin Qiao completely erased all their memories, even their language skills, in front of everyone else.

No need to worry about anything else.

The value of their intelligence on Lin Qiao had long ago almost dropped to zero, so it didn't matter whether they still had memories of the past.

The remaining role is just to use the blank bottle to extract ingredients after turning into a slugger, or to make him familiar with the use of his abilities... He had already accomplished this a long time ago.

——So even if you are lucky enough to leave here, your life from now on will be completely ruined. As for what to do next, let Anding District figure it out.

"How should I put it? Is this what it feels like to be a dragon slayer and become a dragon?"

No, actually that’s not true.

After all, from the very beginning he was not a brave man who stood up for others, but another more powerful evil dragon.

Even though the scumbags like Yamashita Mufu deserved to die, that was no reason for him to use them for experiments.

What is wrong is wrong.

On this point, he never thought that he was right, nor did he want to find other reasons. After all, everything he did had long gone beyond the scope of eliminating harm for the people... Of course, he said so, but in fact, he never regretted it.

Instead, I had this kind of thought: “Wow, I can actually do this” and “I’m so awesome.”

Looking at the stopwatch on the phone that keeps counting down.

When the number above returned to zero, Lin Qiao picked up the heated kettle and slowly and evenly poured the hot water into the filter paper containing coffee powder.

After a period of practice, he has become very familiar with the technique of making coffee.

However, Kaneki Ken, who was sitting opposite the bar, always looked restless.

"Well, Mr. Ishimori, if it's about what happened last time, you don't need to worry too much. Although I was indeed shocked at the time, you were trying to save Touka and Ryoko, so why apologize..."

There's no need for that, right?

With a worried look on his face, he looked at Lin Qiao who was still brewing coffee opposite him, and tried his best to excuse her, as if he wanted her not to take this matter too seriously.

On the one hand, after listening to the store manager's account of what happened, he felt that in such an emergency situation, the other party really could not be blamed.

It would be better to say that if his own blood could save the lives of Miss Dongxiang and Ms. Ryoko, he would take the initiative to shed his own blood even without Lin Qiao's help.

Of course, the most important point is -

He really doesn't want to drink the coffee made by Lin Qiao!

Some failed man made undrinkable coffee.

This has almost become an iron rule that is accepted by everyone in the Anding District.

It’s not that the other party deliberately poisoned something. Generally speaking, if the other party brews it normally, the taste will be pretty good, at least much better than his.

But the key point is the word normal!

Because of Lin Qiao's unique... one could even say exotic taste, no matter how he brews this coffee, it's impossible for him to make it properly.

At the beginning, it was just chopped green onions, coriander and the like, and then they slowly added tomato sauce, pepper powder, and thirteen spices. I dare not even imagine what else will be added later.

Currently, the first and only victim in Anding District is Gu Jianyuan.

That day, after Lin Qiao made the coffee, she went out because she had something to do, so the cup of coffee was left on the table, and it happened to be seen by Gu Jianyuan.

So out of curiosity, the uncle decided to try it, and then... emmm.

In short, I won’t go into details about the process in between. You just need to know that one of the “condiments” that Lin Qiao put in that day was the Death Pepper.

The average spiciness reaches 1569300 Scoville, which is comparable to the spiciness of ordinary civilian pepper spray.

So that day, everyone in Anding District was forced to realize that spiciness is not a taste but a pain.

——Such useless knowledge.

And now, facing the terrible future of himself becoming the second victim, Kaneki Ken only wants to say...

Don’t do that kind of thing!

"So your misunderstanding of me is really deep. Didn't I tell you that the last incident with Mr. Furuma was an accident?"

He sighed and to be honest, he was also helpless about Gu Jianyuan'er's situation.

Who would have thought that less than five minutes after he left the house, something would happen to someone... After all, that cup of coffee was originally left for himself!

Lin Qiao put a red fruit with a wrinkled surface, which looked like a shriveled cherry, into her mouth, which made Kaneki Ken next to her feel frightened.

"Um, um, Mr. Ishimori, I remember that it seemed to be..."

"Well, it would be a shame to just throw away the leftover chili peppers from last time... To be honest, I prefer this kind of spicy food now."

Without blushing or gasping for breath, Lin Qiao swallowed the chili in her mouth calmly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Furuma drank it last time because I wanted to challenge my taste buds, so I made it for myself."

"But this time it's different. After all, it's for an apology, so no chili or other ingredients were added."

“And after so much practice and experimentation, I finally made a special coffee that can satisfy my picky taste.”

In a short while, a cup of freshly brewed coffee is ready.

"Try it. This is something I'm very confident about. As for the name... well, let's call it Nebula Coffee."

"...Nebula Coffee... What a nice name..."

He laughed dryly with a stiff expression, but that was why he didn't dare to drink!

Instead of picking up the coffee in front of him immediately, Kaneki Ken looked at it with some curiosity.

Judging from the appearance alone, it feels pretty good, and Lin Qiao made it right in front of him, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?

With the mentality of giving it a try, I picked it up and took a careful bite...and then my eyes lit up.

“This taste…”

Unexpected surprise!

It’s as if the body is free from the constraints of gravity, floating freely in the air and constantly rising.

The earth beneath my feet became smaller and smaller, and after a while I passed through the clouds. When I looked up, I saw a vast nebula.

Even her long-deceased mother seemed to be beckoning to him... to him... to him... eh?

Wait! Something doesn't look right!

"Hey! Half-assed, come over here and move the things. The new table has arrived..."

Kirishima Touka came up hurriedly from downstairs and pushed Kaneki Ken who was lying on the bar, but the latter didn't react. Then he looked at Lin Qiao who was holding a cup of coffee and looked satisfied.

"What's going on? Did you add something weird to the coffee again? The chili pepper tortured Mr. Furuma for the whole night last time."

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm warning you, stop slandering me! And last time it was an accident. This time I swear, I really didn't add those things."

At most, I just stuffed some nebula gas in it...Don’t tell me, it tastes great!

Dong Xiang looked at the agitated Lin Qiao suspiciously: "Then what's wrong with him?"

"Who knows? Maybe he didn't get enough rest at night and was sleepy. He fell asleep peacefully."

"......Yeah?"

I always feel like something is not right... Come to think of it, are the words "peaceful" used to describe people sleeping?

"But never mind. It's just right for you to come with me to move the things."

"......As I recall, I'm not an employee of your store, right? Or I can help you wake up Kaneki..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Because of you, so many coffee beans in the store have been wasted these days. Consider this as compensation!"

It's your own fault.jpg
