Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

After hearing what Ansou said, Emiya felt much more relieved.

"Hey... little girl, do you still have the same cup I bought yesterday?"

The old man wandered around the store and then asked Ansuo.

"You mean the white one with the little mouse on it?"

An Suo thought for a moment and said.

This situation is not uncommon, and most people of certain races are quite fond of their animal relatives.

It's basically quite common for Filin to keep cats, Carters to keep rabbits, and so on.

"Yes, yes, I want to buy two more."

The old man nodded and said.

"I'll go look for it in the warehouse. Please wait a moment."

Ansou pulled Emiya to sit next to the cashier counter, then he quickly ran towards the warehouse.

"???"

Looking at Anso who had disappeared, Emiya felt like he was being betrayed.

"You are quite energetic. Would you like to chat with an old man like me?"

The old man naturally doesn't dislike a lively person like Ansuo. It's always better to be lively than dull.

"of course."

Emiya did not refuse the old man's kindness and pulled out a chair from the side.

After all, we don't know how long Ansuo will take to find him, and we can't let the old man stand and wait during this time, right?

"Are you an employee here?"

The old man who knew everything pretended to know nothing and asked questions to the young man in front of him.

"I'm just here to help. I know the store manager here."

Emiya replied.

At least Ansuo was the nominal manager of this store, and he was not listed here, so he had no intention of deceiving the other party.

"I see. No wonder you came out from the other side. Were you in the kitchen just now?"

Following Emiya's words, the old man replied.

By the way, he raised a question. He remembered that many spies had mentioned that even they envied the children when it came to eating.

Plus, he had smelled the sweet air just before he came into the store.

"Ah... you noticed this. I just did something in the back."

"It's sweet, right? The whole store smells like that now."

"Someone sent me a winter melon, and I just made it into a winter melon brick and it's waiting for it to solidify."

"Oh? I see. No wonder I smelled brown sugar just now."

"If you're interested, I'll get you a piece to take back to the bar. Just add some hot water and some ice cubes."

Seeing that the old man in front of him seemed to be very interested in sweets, Emiya thought it should be no problem to give him a small piece.

Respect the elderly and honor the virtuous, and at the same time, do something to atone for your previous thoughts.

110 It starts in three years!

Emiya chatted with the old man...or should I say Mr. Lin for quite a while.

The name was mentioned after they had been chatting for a while. At that time, Shirou didn't know how to address the other person, so the other person said his last name was Lin.

So Emiya called the other person Mr. Lin and introduced himself at the same time.

I don't know why, but when he mentioned that his name was Emiya, the other party laughed out loud, and kept rubbing the dragon head on the cane with his hands.

By the way, when Emiya mentioned his name just now, he used the Longmen dialect. After all, many people of Mr. Lin's age are not very receptive to some new things.

However, Emiya did not feel any ill will from the other party. Maybe the old man was thinking of the funny things that happened before?

Although the dragon on the dragon-headed crutch was well maintained, Shigong could still see that the dragon head part was particularly bright.

"Haha, the boy has pretty good skills."

The old man was holding a transparent cup in his hand. The brown liquid in the cup had a faint sweet fragrance.

That was made from the leftover ingredients from Emiya's cooking, and the amount was not much, just two cups.

He gave one cup to Ansou and one cup to Mr. Lin in front of him, while Emiya drank the water himself.

Seeing the two of them drinking contentedly, Emiya also felt it was pretty good.

It was just that the resentful gazes from the other side of the door were a little unbearable for Emiya.

"Don't look at it, there will be something to drink at noon."

It was Anso who noticed Emiya's discomfort, discovered the source of the problem, and went over to put it out.

The solution is very simple, just close the door.

Before closing the door, he specifically talked to a few people, and then closed the door and locked it.

Emiya didn't know, but Anso knew that what happened here couldn't be easily spread out. The current scale was already the limit, and if there were more, there would be problems.

Life is not easy, Rabbit sighs!

“The children are quite lively.”

Mr. Lin naturally also noticed those children. After all, they were his main purpose for coming here these two days.

It seems that he is living a good life, just as the report says.

He can still tell whether life is good or bad, and his life has not been wasted.

The primary target has been confirmed, and the secondary target is right in front of us.

From what he has seen so far, he is indeed a spirited young man, who seems to be kind-hearted and somewhat naive. He answers whatever the old man says, even though he already knows the answers to these questions.

No, let me correct me, at first glance, Emiya now looks a little difficult to get along with, and he even looks a bit like a gangster.

I don't know which barbershop cuts people's hair like this, doesn't it look good like that in the photo?

"Yeah yeah."

Emiya said with an awkward smile.

He could answer any questions about himself, but he couldn't say anything about the real purpose of Fuyuki Store.

"Well...if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I've already bought the things, so I won't bother you anymore."

Seeing that the other party at least knew how to hide some information, Mr. Lin did not ask any more questions.

The main reason was that it was almost lunch time and he had no plans to eat out.

If I go home later and miss lunch, my wife will scold me.

Before leaving, Mr. Lin drank his drink in one gulp, then took out a Longmen coin with the largest denomination from his pocket, placed it on the table, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, I haven't got the change yet."

Looking at the large-denomination Longmen coins, An Suo felt a little panicked.

The main concern is whether there is enough change in the cash register.

"Just consider it as the drink money and tip. We had a great chat just now."

Mr. Lin waved his hand and left with the cup he bought and a small piece of wrapped winter melon brick.

"what to do?"

Anso looked to Emiya for help, this situation had never happened before.

"Just take it. It will be cheaper when he comes to buy things later."

Looking at the Lungmen coins on the table, Emiya hesitated for a moment but finally accepted them.

Although Mr. Lin was using a cane, he was still walking pretty fast. He couldn't chase me down the street to pay me back, could he?

"Um...okay."

Since his boss had said so, Anso had no choice but to put the money into the cash register.

Outside the store, as soon as Mr. Lin walked out, someone came over to help him hold the bag in his hand.

"Don't knock it, it's for gifts."

Mr. Lin gave some instructions and asked his men to be careful.

"Yes, are you going back now?"

The subordinate asked while holding the bag carefully.

"I have an appointment with someone to have lunch at home at noon."

"Understood. Please get in the car."

"Ah."

Mr. Lin sat in the back seat skillfully and wiped his mouth with a piece of paper.

I drank it in a hurry just now, and some of it got on the edge of my mouth, making it sticky.

"There's no need to monitor that place anymore. Send a few people to take turns protecting this place. Remember to do it in a covert manner."

Mr. Lin said after wiping his mouth, looking completely different from when he was chatting with Emiya just now.

At this time, Mr. Lin had a serious expression on his face.

"understood."

The man driving the car kept the other party's instructions in mind and did not dare to neglect them at all.

After all, he was the Rat King of the slums, who once dominated the entire underground of Longmen.

"have they gone?"

On the other side, at the window on the second floor opposite Fuyuki Store, Axing watched the car that looked very expensive leave and heaved a sigh of relief.

God knows why such a big shot would come here for no reason, and come here for two consecutive days.

Although he didn't know the other person, he had been in the industry for so long that he still had some insight. It was obvious that the other person was not someone who was easy to mess with.

I just informed Sister Xiong, and she just said it was okay.

"It really is... I feel like I've taken on a hot potato."

Ah Xing leaned against the window and sighed. He thought this job was easy at first, but what happened in the past few days made him feel that someone seemed to be targeting this place.

I don’t know if it’s good or bad.

He checked the time on his phone and it was almost noon, so he should go over for lunch.

The apology gift of Mantou was also prepared yesterday. I believe that a big bag of candy and biscuits will definitely win the hearts of the children.

"Welcome light - huh? I thought you weren't coming today."

Hearing the bell ringing at the front door, An Suo thought another guest had arrived, but it turned out to be Ah Xing carrying a large bag of unknown stuff.

"Hey, after all, the delicious food is here. I brought some candy and cookies."

Ah Xing lifted the bag in his hand and said.

"Go to the back by yourself."

Looking at Ah Xing's appearance, An Suo just felt bored and let the other party go by himself.

"What are you eating today?"

Ah Xing obediently went straight to the kitchen, which was quite lively.

"You're really late today, come and help me knock these open."

Looking at Axing who came in, Emiya ordered him around ruthlessly.

After all, the solidified winter melon bricks are quite hard. If Emiya hadn't been worried about turning them into powder by knocking them with excessive force, he would have dealt with them long ago.
