That night, there were fewer customers and it was more free, and it was still the time when the tram was running, but there were no customers at the table seats.There are only two couples and one man at the bar.And one pair just sipped the brandy like a lick, and the other just kept asking for kim limes.Bosses who don't get a chance to flex their craft are bored.Another single man, while drinking not watered down bourbon, chatted with Naoki from time to time.I just listen to him when I am busy, but I can only talk to him when there are no other guests.Putting on a smile and going along with his nonsense, nothing but pain.

Just before twelve o'clock a new visitor came in, a woman in a long black coat.After a quick glance, he didn't have any impression, and Naoki felt that it was probably a customer who came before he started working here.There is basically no such thing as a woman going to a bar she has never been to. Ah, long time no see!Zhigui thought the boss would definitely say such rhetoric.But he just said bluntly: "Welcome!" There was some confusion in his eyes. The woman looked at Naoki, and the colleague came over with a smile, took off his coat and sat down on the stool.A white sweater is worn under the coat.

"Long time no see!" "what!" "Forget about me? How cruel!" She stared up at him. "Ah..." That expression, or rather the accent, reminded him that it was Yumi Shiraishi.She seemed to be thinner than when we met before, plus her hair grew longer and she wore makeup, so Zhigui couldn't recognize her. "It is you!" "Long time no see," Yushiko put her elbows on the bar, "how are you?" "It's okay, why did you come here?" "There was a party. Everyone went to karaoke again. I felt bored so I let it out. I also wanted to see Zhigui."

"No, how do you know I'm here?" "So Yushiko chuckled, "Yeah, how did you know that! " Naoki thought for a while, and immediately found the answer, "I heard it from Terao, right?" "I went to the concert last week and went backstage to say hello. I really miss it. I heard that Terao often comes here." "Seldom come. By the way, don't you want to order something?" "Oh, Singapore Sling then." Also know fashion drinks too!Zhigui thought about it and handed it to the boss. Not long after he started working in this store, Terao contacted him. After Naoki told him about the new job, he said that he would definitely go.Sure enough, it came that week.After that, we can see each other roughly once a month.Of course, up to now, I haven't said anything about Zhigui quitting the band.Not only that, even the matter of the band, he would never take the initiative to bring it up.Just asking about Naoki's current situation.So every time Naoki brings up the topic of the band and music, he always looks difficult to answer.However, I heard that the first CD will be released in 2010.

"I heard that you have changed to a daytime university, good!" Yumiko said after taking a sip of Singapore Srin. "Yes," Zhigui nodded. "I was taken aback by the sudden resignation from the company." "Because I can't work during the day." "Is it considered a trainee bartender now?" "One more drink!" said the single man, raising his glass.Zhigui responded and poured pure bourbon whiskey.He will do this too.The man glanced at Yumiko from time to time, but she looked around the store as if she didn't see it. "Where do you live now?" Yushiko spoke to him again.

"It doesn't matter where you live." So, Yushiko took out a paper coaster from a stack of paper coasters on the counter, and slid it in front of Zhigui. "What? This." "The address, the phone number that Terao told me can't be reached at all." "The phone is on, but I've been away all day and turned it off again." "Well, then tell me the address." "What do you want it for?" "It's nothing, can't it?" She pushed the paper coaster a little more. "Haha!" The man next to him, drinking bourbon, laughed.

"You, it's better not to pester Zhigui, this kid has a high competition rate, there are several women who come to him, right?" He asked Zhigui. "There is no such thing!" "Isn't it right, I often hear such words. Hey! Little girl, your earrings are so beautiful! Where did you buy them?" "Ah! This? It's just a bargain bought in Shibuya." "Oh, yes. It goes well with the hairstyle! Where did you get the hair?" It started again.Zhigui cursed in his heart.This man has always been like this. He first praises his clothes, his hairstyle, his makeup skills, and finally his physical foundation.The language of praise is the easiest to persuade people, as he once explained.

This man is the boss of a production company, but he just claims to be, so he can't tell the truth from the fake.He also said that he knows many famous directors, which is also his great weapon.Now Yumiko seems to be very interested in listening to this man's words.Helped me out!Zhigui thought, he didn't want to have too much relationship with someone who knew about his past. Yumiko stood up and went to the bathroom.The man immediately greeted Naoki as if he was waiting for this moment. "She really has nothing to do with Naoki?" "No." "Then can I take it away?"

Zhigui hesitated for a moment, and said, "As you please." The man took something out of his coat pocket, a white pill. "Crush this and put it in her drink later..." The man smiled treacherously. "That's not good..." "Please, it's no big deal." The man grabbed Naoki's hand like a handshake.There is something in the palm of your hand.I immediately understood that it was folded into very small banknotes. You Shizi walked over, Zhigui withdrew his hand back.The banknote was in Naoki's hands, he turned around and saw that it was a five thousand yen banknote, and he clicked his tongue.

"Let's drink something more!" the man said to Yumiko. "I've already drank a lot. Why don't you give me a glass of orange juice!" The man winked.Zhigui's expression remained unchanged, and he crushed the pill inside the counter.The boss is accompanying other guests. "After drinking the orange juice, how about going to a store I know? I'll send you off." "Ah! I'm sorry! I want Mr. Zhigui to send me off." She said with a slightly strange tone. "I still have a job!" Naoki said while putting the orange juice in front of her.

"Then I'll wait for you to get off work." "It's still a few hours." "It's okay! I'll wait." "Don't be like this, okay!" Yushizi's expression was a little stiff when he heard Zhigui's words, but he looked at her and continued, "It's a trouble to others! Let him send you off!" Seeing that the circles of her eyes turned red, as if she was about to shout something, she stretched out her hand before opening her mouth, and poured the glass of orange juice to Zhigui, and he shouted first. "What are you doing!" Just as she said it, Yushiko had already run out of the store.The man chased him out. "Hi! Zhigui." The store manager frowned. "I'm sorry!" Naoki apologized and began to sweep the floor.Thinking of Yu Shizi's back when she ran out, she muttered: "I'm not the same person I used to be!"
