Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 27 Young Drunk, Thoughts
  A few days later, it was Sunday again.

Shimizu Koji found that this time was chaotic, and sometimes that might not be a good thing, because he had just passed Mondays four or five days in a row.

And if he hadn't consciously reminded himself often, his cognition might have been subtly affected before he knew it, and he would have become accustomed to this weird timeline.

At the North Star Club, night falls slowly, and the neon lights flashing on the door and signboard are colorful, but they are basically pink, red, blue, and purple lights that are darker and have an ambiguous atmosphere.

People were coming and going on the street outside the alleyway, and most of the people who came in were urban white-collar workers after get off work, and occasionally there were older women and some men with familiar faces.

The North Star Club operates very formally, at least on the surface, like a bar.

Inside the club, the light disco music ended, and the guests on the dance floor and the actors on the stage all left.

The air is filled with the smell of perfume and wine, but the venue is wide, and only a faint part of it spreads out. It is not pungent, but it seems to add a bit of temptation to the dim environment.

The spotlight on the stage suddenly flashed, illuminating a piano that had been arranged in the corner.

This sudden change made the guests who were used to the North Star program shine. Except for a few people with male and female partners who were in an ambiguous atmosphere at the moment, everyone else's eyes followed the spotlight and converged on the piano on the stage. nearby.

"What's the new show?"

"Piano music played live?"

"I think it's not as good as the violin."

Koji Shimizu walked slowly onto the stage in a performance tuxedo. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he immediately attracted the attention of almost all the female guests in the audience.

His tall figure, calm manner, unsquinting gaze, and stern profile are fascinating.

Okay, let's not talk about this. Shimizu Koji just regarded it as a very ordinary job. The people in the audience were relatively well-educated. They did not exclaim or shout. They even held their breath and looked forward to his performance. .

Thanks to his good looks, even though Koji Shimizu's piano playing is only at an average level, for the unprepared guests, it was like listening to celestial music.

Accustomed to going home from work and going to izakaya nightclubs, my exhausted spirit became even more depressed under the anesthesia of alcohol day after day.

The mediocre life seems to be crawling in darkness in the downtown area of ​​​​apocalypse, and Koji Shimizu, who suddenly appears, looks like an elegant nobleman from the upper city under the pure white spotlight.

Behind the stage, Diana looked at the reactions of the women in the audience and nodded secretly. Everything went as she thought and went very smoothly.

She did not give any advance notice, nor any advertising or publicity.

Originally, Diana thought about warming up, but considering the character of Koji Shimizu, she ultimately did nothing.

But doing nothing does not mean that there is no effect. The reason why the surprise is called a surprise is because of the unexpected nature of the gift itself.

Moreover, looking at the current situation, Diana estimated that relying on word of mouth in the excitement of these people after returning, there might be better results than she expected.

However, no matter how harmonious the atmosphere is, there will always be one or two outliers.

Under the stage, a black-haired boy leaned on his arms, with a drooped face. His salty eyes kept glancing at Koji Shimizu who was playing the piano on the stage. After listening for a while, he couldn't help but yawn.

"It's just so-so."

The moment the words fell, Kaito felt like a light on his back, and he straightened his back instantly. The women at the tables around him all stared at him with sharp eyes like daggers.

"Uh, I, I was joking."

Kuroba Kaito swallowed, sweatdropped, and quickly waved his hand to explain.

Fortunately, because of his handsome face, no one bothered him too much, and he was able to escape from the glare of swords and shadows.

If it were any other man, Kuroba Kaito felt that that man would most likely be scolded to death.

As a person who has had a lot of female fans since he was a child, he still has a lot of say in this aspect.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but murmur again as he glanced at the figure of Koji Shimizu.

"It seems that the person Hongzi must ask me to find is him."

Of course Kuroba Kaito is not a regular visitor here, this is his first time here.

If Koizumi Hongzi hadn't suddenly come to him the day before yesterday and asked him very seriously and firmly to come to this club on Sunday night, he might not have thought of setting foot here in this life.

"Really, why is that woman so crazy? This guy, at best, is just an ordinary boy."

"Oh, forget it, never mind, I just need to bring the message and complete the task."

Kuroba Kaito huddled in the corner of the shadows and kept thinking. When no one saw the expression on his face, the changes were quite rich.

"Hey, come on." After a while, looking at Koji Shimizu, who took a break after playing a song and was about to start the next song amidst applause, Kuroba Kaito raised his eyebrows and waved to the waiter on the side. wave.

"Sir, what do you need?"

"That guy, how long can he play?"

Not paying attention to the impoliteness of Kuroba Kaito's words, the waiter thought for a while and found that he didn't seem to say that he wanted to keep this secret.

"This is our new special program. From now on, it will only be performed from 7 to 10 pm every Sunday night. There will be some breaks in the middle." "Ten, ten o'clock?!"

"Yes, sir."

The corners of Kuroba Kaito's eyes twitched, he would have come later if he had known.

When he thought about how long it would be, he glanced at the dazzling array of drinks on other people's tables, and then looked at the waiter in front of him, and Kuroba Kaito's mind became active.

Come here.

Then drink a little and try what the wine tastes like, otherwise it will be too boring.

"That one over there, give me a bottle too."

The waiter followed his finger and saw that on the table of the female customer over there was a bottle of high-grade foreign wine. The packaging of the wine was packaged in a golden bottle, which was a bit deceptive.

However, he had no intention of reminding Kuroba Kaito that he only had to be responsible for providing whatever the guests wanted. People who talked too much could easily get into unnecessary trouble.

"I understand, please wait a moment."

-

Shimizu Koji gets off work on time at ten o'clock.

There was no luggage, so I changed into my own clothes, received a cash payment of 15 yen, and walked directly out of the back door of the club.

The street at the back door of the club seemed even quieter. There were only three two-meter-high street lamps at the beginning, end, and middle of a whole alley of about 200 meters.

It is simply the best place to kill people and sell goods.

"Hey, wait, wait, burp~."

Qingshui Koji had just walked a few steps when a voice suddenly sounded behind him. He turned around and looked at the person. He subconsciously frowned and took a step back.

Where did the drunkard come from?

He is still a man, and he is still so young. He still looks a bit like Kudo Shinichi, but he is obviously not.

Kuroba Kaito was drunk and hazy, but he was still conscious. He noticed that Koji Shimizu put down his glass of wine as soon as he got off work, and escaped in embarrassment from his elder sister who persuaded him to drink.

"what's up?"

Kuroba Kaito tried hard to maintain his poker face, but he was not very good at it now. The alcohol stained his cheeks, and he almost sprained himself after taking two steps.

Fortunately, he finally stood in front of Koji Shimizu. Kuroba Kaito recalled the words Anko asked him to take in his mind, took a breath, and started reading directly.

"Yes, someone asked me to tell you,

Crows in the world are black and white
  Good and evil, eternal opposition
  The tide rises and falls one after another

Balance, between all things.”

"Hiccup~, I'm done. Goodbye."

Hearing Yunshan Mist's words, Qingshui Koji frowned and his eyes were confused.

Seeing that Kuroba Kaito was about to collapse on the side of the road in the next moment and might spend the night there, he kindly gave him a hand.

"Here's this for you. It's best to go take a look tomorrow. You're young, don't delay, and don't give up."

Shimizu Koji took a business card of Suzuki Private Hospital from his pocket and stuffed it into the drunken boy's pocket.

Then he let go, letting Kaito fall to the ground, and Shimizu Koji left the alley without looking back.

I hope his rare act of kindness can add some sparkle to the quiet business of Suzuki Private Hospital.

Although others may not need it, it is still my intention.

After Koji Shimizu left, gentle snoring soon sounded in the alley.

The night was silent, and the second half of urban life had just begun. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be after the early morning before Kuroba Kaito would be discovered here.

However, not long after, there was a sound of footsteps, and a figure with a cloak on his head gradually approached from the other end of the alley.

She squatted in front of Kuroba Kaito, fanned the alcohol odor with her hand, and then took out the business card from Kaito's pocket.

"It's quite different from what was predicted."

Koizumi Hongzi's left hand held up a crystal ball from under her cloak and gently swiped her business card across it.

Looking at the figure reflected in the crystal ball, the corners of her mouth curled up in a playful smile, but there was still a hint of caution hidden in her eyes.

"It seems that next time, I, the witch, will have to appear in person."
