Chapter 246 – [The Last Days of China]
The meeting place was a familiar cafe that Ruri knew. I didn’t go there often, but it was a friendly shop where I often went and chatted when I was craving coffee.
But Ye-jin didn’t know the place, so he decided to go to the cafe after meeting Ruri first.
It’s because it’s been a long time since I’ve been out, so I’m going to shop around if there are good clothes in the store, and if it’s not that, I think it’s better to walk while looking at it.
“Yes Jin!!!”
“Oh?! If I scream like that, people will catch me?!”
It’s not that I’m worried that my personal information has already been stolen, but it’s still better than walking around openly exposing myself.
However, despite Ye-jin’s attitude, Ruri shrugged her shoulders and responded nonchalantly.
“What’s wrong? Someone’s trying to touch you. Even if you touch me a little bit, the man will come. What do you think?”
“Is it really so?”
“I know from my own experience… A man like this is the type who is usually loose but gets angry when someone touches his person. If he can catch his daughter’s blood-stained fleas even if he burns all thatch, then he can do that.” “
“No, if people have common sense, they would do such things… Ah, there is an example from China, so I can’t refute it.”
Worst of all, for touching Zion, it drove China to ruin. If you think about that, Ruri’s words are absolutely right.
Anyway, the two decided to go to the meeting place, the cafe.
Ruri and Shion are both Force users, so their appearance is different. Even though they are both high school students, they have looks and bodies that cannot be seen at that age, so they attract attention from men passing by, but no one approaches them.
No matter how cute it is, no one approaches a tiger cub easily. Because if there is a mother around, it will be fucked.
“If it was like usual, one or two people would have already come to hunt, but it’s quiet.”
“That’s probably because all of our identities were stolen. I saw that my 3 size was also wandering around.”
“Ruri, are you okay?! It’s a bit sensitive, but that’s it!”
“What about three sizes? I didn’t see my naked body anyway, so I have to embarrass myself? I’ve never touched myself with a knife, so I’m proud of my three sizes!!!”
“Your mentality is different…?!”
Ruri’s mentality and her spiritual world are incomparable to those of ordinary people. She is because she is beyond common sense. Or maybe she just doesn’t have the mentality to get smashed in the first place.
People passing by are also whispering, while others glance at each other and quickly avoid others. Baek-ri’s younger sister, Ruri, would have known, but Ye-jin was known as the worst daughter.
“Is that him?”
“Hey, avoid it just in case”
“But how do you get around openly?”
“They say that Raccoon Man has just escaped, but shouldn’t we catch him?”
“Catch it if you can. But it’s pretty, it’s very pretty.”
Ye-jin was a bit reluctant at the glances of the whisperers, but after seeing Ruri’s confident appearance, Ye-jin decided to shake it off.
After all, she didn’t do anything wrong. If she’s done anything wrong, she’s the worst. She wondered if there was a system of guilt-by-association in Korea. She had no reason for Ye-jin to bow her head.
The two chatted as they leisurely walked to the cafe. If there is a store that stands out in the middle, take a look and enjoy eye-shopping.
“Ah, but the old man found a new person.”
“Who? If you look at Shion’s older sister’s skills, she seems to have to do an internship even if you hire her as a decent person.”
“I’m not sure about her, but she says she’s an alien.”
“……Isn’t the alien talking about Shion-nee?”
“Someone else”
“Men and women?”
“A man”
“Huh, it’s a dog !!!!
“I did too”
“It is. But is it good-looking?”
“I don’t know because I’ve never seen it, but there seems to be something like a private car.”
“Hmm, I think it’ll be better than I thought!!!”
“But you’re a soldier.”
“Oh, PTSD!! Ugh!!!”
Private car (can destroy Earth).
Just like in the Middle Ages, if you took a chariot, you could take a picture of invincibility (of course, aside from supplies), it was the same with dragonoids. No matter how much the 11th generation came out, even the 3rd generation equipment is a sufficiently transcendent technology.
If it was an ordinary civilization, you would have to be careful about showing up, but Shion has already introduced a monster aircraft like Horizon, so even a dragonoid looks like a slightly large drone.
It’s the same reason that everything looks small in front of something that is fucking big and flashy.
“Ah, this is it. It’s moderately close to my school and the coffee is cheap, so it’s a cafe I used to come and chat with the kids. The cake is also homemade, so it’s delicious.”
“It would be difficult to operate a cafe that is not a brand these days because it is self-employed…”
“The business seems to be doing pretty well. I came here often while I was in school, but seeing as it’s still in operation, I don’t think it’s going to go bankrupt yet.”
One such cafe in the neighborhood. It was a cafe of just the right size for small talk or chatting. The cakes and apple pies that are sold are also made by hand, making it a secretly popular spot that only those in the know know about.
Upon entering the store, the smell of coffee and a light sweet scent welcomes you. Inside the cafe, Ruri’s friend was already seated first.
Ruri waved her hand and ran happily.
“Did you order me coffee first?”
“You make it yourself, bitch”
“Ah, this is also a friend. It’s dirty, so I buy it myself.”
Ruri giggled and laughed. Ye-jin handed her greetings to her friend of her Ruri.
“Hello, my name is Choi Ye-jin.”
“…Ah, by any chance?”
“Yes, that’s right. He’s a friend of Ruri unnie, so feel free to talk.”
“I’m Seyoung Lee”
Ye-jin also sat down and looked around her shop.
It seemed a bit dark, and classical music was playing in the lighting that would not hurt the eyes, and the sun was bright during the day, so I drew the blinds separately.
The weather is gradually cold, but it is hot and the sunlight is strong during the day so that the temperature difference between day and night is large. It was rather excessive that the light came in well because it was a well-established store.
The temperature inside the cafe was a bit high, so Yejin took off her top layer. It feels good to just chat and fall asleep.
“I’m going to order a caramel macchiato, but what about you, Yejin?”
“Ah, can you buy me one? I’ll take a cafe latte then.”
“Eat cheap food. Seeing the good value for money, I think I’ll go on a soup date with my brother.”
“……..”
“Denial it there! Deny it!!! Ahhh! The things I see for the first time in a real flirtation!
“You can’t say that out loud in a place like this!”
Ruri became enthusiastic about Yejin’s undeniable attitude.
To be honest, Yejin likes soup. She also likes Baek-ri, so if you look at that, she has no special match in life. She’s slanted, slanted
However, from the point of view of a third person, the heat is about to explode. If you don’t confess to a subject with feelings like that and stay more than friends and less than a lover, it’s more frustrating for the viewer.
“Here’s a caramel macchiato and a tall caffe latte. The cake… Oh, three apple pies.”
“Yes, do you need anything else?”
“All right. Oh, I’ll pay in cash.”
“Thank you”
While placing the order, Ruri looked at the person receiving the order and tilted her head. Because she was not a familiar face.
“Huh? Didn’t this place originally run by a female boss? This is the first time someone else is at the counter, are you working?”
“……Ah, I’m a relative of the boss, but I had some work at home for a while, so I came here to work part-time.”
“Ol, since we’re family, you should get the minimum wage. Anyway, do your best.”
After a while, the coffee I ordered came out. Ruri returned to the table with coffee and she interrupted the two chatting away.
“What were you talking about? You weren’t mocking me, were you?”
“Ah, Ruri unnie’s feeling is like a ghost. Don’t you have similar characteristics to mine?”
“Ottoke know!!!!”
“Really?!”
“Of course it’s real, bitch. Where are you going to look at someone else’s disgrace!!!!”
“Oh, my coffee!!!”
When Ruri stopped trying to serve her coffee, a slight altercation broke out between the two as they tried to snatch her cup. It was a difficult level of battle to catch up with normal people’s body vision, but it was just a joke to the two who were actually Force users.
Eventually, the two stopped fighting and drank coffee. Then Ruri suddenly expressed her question.
“Huh? The taste is a bit strange. Is it my imagination?”
“Okay?”
“…Looking at it, he’s not the boss here. Isn’t the taste different because the person has changed?”
“Oh, is that so? Maybe so.”
At Seyoung’s words, Ruri thought so and moved on.
Cold sweat runs down her back, unknown to others.
“But you’re quiet today, Seyeong-ah. If it was usual, you would have just chatted. Is it a magical day by any chance?”
“What? No?”
“Anyway, what do you want to do after coffee? Are you going to watch a movie?
“Isn’t it just to try it out after the college entrance exam?
“People can’t just watch the fun stuff. Sometimes they can pull off the bad stuff. And I have a habit of not being able to get past the bad stuff without seeing it. ‘Ah, shit! Feeling the same”
“Then, Born in 1982, which was released last year…”
“I have a weird personality, not stupid. Why does a pretty and talented woman say feminism about men? A truly competent person can overcome such things on their own, and they don’t make excuses like that.”
“Oh, I hear someone heavy running!”
“Say oh. I can screw it all up.”
Ruri was a talented woman who studied well and had a pretty appearance. She is even more so, now she will have her network thanks to Baek-ri, but she hates it and has no intention of wasting time.
The three of them chatted like that for about an hour. Talking about how the world goes these days, and talking about love, time passed quickly.
“And I… Huh?”
“Yes Jin? What’s wrong?”
Ye-jin was in the middle of a conversation, and at one point she lost her mind. She picked it up, fell down, and fell asleep on the table.
Ruri was taken aback by the sudden sleep of Yejin.
“Mmmm?! What the heck is Mummy?! Something like narcolepsy, ahhhhh?”
And then it was the same for Ruri. Like Yejin, Ruri fell down with her head on the table.
Only Sae-yeong, who was left alone, was shaking her hand as she watched the two of them.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry Ruri. I couldn’t help it either… I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
Only then did she burst into crying and the emotions she had been hiding and suppressing, and apologized while looking at the two people who had lost her mind.
As the two collapsed, a nearby person disguised as a guest approached them. Seyoung looked at them and said.
“Ooh, then my mom will let you go as promised, right?”
“Don’t worry. As promised, we’ve served as bait, so we’ll release it. Let’s go with us.”
“Yes Yes…….”
It was a conversation in which the situation was roughly understood.
Se-yeong was the bait to lure them to the café. Those who had been waiting in advance were able to secure the two people by drugging the coffee.
Poison doesn’t work that well for Force users. Even if it is a type of sleeping pill, the effect is revealed only when a lethal dose is taken by the general public.
Of course, it has strong medicinal effects, but it required procedures to bring in or use it for the purpose of subduing force users and criminals. You can never buy it in the market. So they could be seen as a group or organization with their own power.
“Originally, we were planning to secure only the younger sister of No. 2, but something unexpectedly happened. Since we also secured the victim’s family, there are enough blackmail materials…”
“Who are you trying to blackmail?”
They prepared thoroughly. The surrounding floating population, the purchase of the cafe owner, and the manipulation of the CCTV and the hostage to make bait were all prepared.
But if there is one piece of information that I overlooked. The amount of medicine they ate was calculated and used at the level of an ‘ordinary Force user’.
It might work for Yejin, but it won’t work for Ruri!!!
“I know that bastards who use drugs have poor technique. It’s obvious how to deal with them.”
“No, how……!!!!”
“Break up!!!!!”
Wow!!!!
Ruri’s powerful kick kicked the man in front of her between the groins.
Then, screams from hell filled the cafe.
