Chapter 185 The Second Agito
the next morning.
Kawahara was in a good mood and helped the store manager Shitama prepare the ingredients for the meal.
But just as he finished cutting the carrots and potatoes, Okamura Kana came back with a gloomy face, holding a coffee cup that was even more broken than yesterday. It was obvious that she still hadn't done those things.
Kawahara looked at his cup: "..."
Now even the bottom of the cup with the pattern printed on it was broken.
He sat down at the coffee table in the corner, picked up a piece of the bottom of the cup and examined it carefully.
Judging from the signs of shattering, it is not caused by physical reasons.
Kana Okamura, who was sitting opposite, lowered her head, making it difficult to read her expression: "I'm sorry, I can't do it..."
Kawahara didn't say anything, but the ceramic fragments on the tray floated up again like yesterday, gathering and condensing towards the fragments at the bottom of the cup in his hand.
At this moment, Okamura Kana also groaned suddenly. She covered her roaring head in pain, looked at the calm man opposite with fear, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Although she didn't understand what she was afraid of in her heart...
The broken coffee cup became whole again in Kawahara's hands.
Kawahara glanced at the frightened Kana Okamura opposite him and put the coffee cup on the table and pushed it over.
Just when the former looked strange and thought he was going to smash the cup again, Kawahara said, "Make me a cup of coffee," which made Okamura Kana inexplicably relieved.
Kawahara prefers latte in the morning, espresso in the afternoon, and in the evening...
Don't drink.
Kana Okamura had never paid attention to these things before, but after occasionally glancing at them, she actually remembered them subconsciously, so she made a cup of mocha according to the method taught by the store manager Shiyu!
The predecessor of PolePole Cafe was at least a legitimate cafe, and Shikatama Saburo was a legitimate barista, but things went astray after middle age.
So Kana Okamura was also taught the wrong way.
Today, the store manager Shi Yu is obsessed with developing various exotic flavors of curry dishes, and naturally, he has also innovated different exotic flavors of coffee.
So when a cup of coffee with lava cream was brought to him, Kawahara rubbed his forehead and didn't really want to drink it.
However, Kana Okamura has stabilized again.
She asked tentatively with a serious look: "Mr. Kawahara, I want to know when you first knew..."
Kawahara stirred the cream with a spoon: "Since the first day you came to the store."
Okamura Kana was stunned when she heard this.
But at that time, she herself didn't know that she was mutating. It was only after hearing this person's phone call that Kana Okamura began to unconsciously associate her own "different from ordinary people" behaviors.
Then she thought more and more that it was true...
It's just like those people who search Baidu for their medical conditions when they have a little pain, and the more they compare, the more terminally ill they become.
But the following example may be scaring yourself.
This is the real situation for Kana Okamura.
But Okamura Kana is also used to evading. She can even suppress the power of light to avoid it, and she can easily pretend to be deaf and dumb to the slightest abnormality!
Then he suppressed it until he turned into Agito in one fell swoop.
Kawahara tasted the sickly sweet mocha and frowned as he said, "Just like I feel uncomfortable when you get close to me, I naturally feel it too. But if I had told you that at that time, you would probably have resigned the next day. It's obvious that you don't want to get too close to others."
Okamura Kana lowered her head and twirled her fingers.
"So, what happened to you yesterday? Did you encounter any unknown life forms?" Kawahara continued.
He had reminded the girl before that she could ask him for help if she encountered any unknown life forms, and yesterday she did show signs of asking for help, and even mustered up the courage to say "I can do anything".
But the unknown life form that appeared yesterday seemed to have only committed a crime once in the park, so he was quite curious about what made the turtle stick its head out.
Okamura Kana was silent for a while and shook her head: "No, it's me... I seem to have turned into... a monster."
"Really? No wonder you asked me that question then."
Kawahara said casually, picked up the coffee and was about to force himself to take another sip, but then he suddenly realized something and looked at Okamura Kana with some surprise.
"Wait! You just said..."
"Huh?" Okamura Kana looked at him nervously.
"..."
Kawahara was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
Okamura Kana's heart was pounding, she clenched her fists tightly, and all kinds of pessimistic thoughts popped up in her mind. Why didn't she speak?
Why are you looking at her like that?
As expected, it is impossible for a "monster" to be accepted. How will she live like this in the future?
This place of shelter will surely be lost soon...
Just when Okamura Kana's eyes were already showing despair, Kawahara drank a sip of coffee to calm down, and then said: "Wait, don't get me wrong, I just didn't react to the second Agito appearing so quickly..."
He took Gills's presence for granted.
But the second Agito appeared so soon besides Shoichi Tsugami, he was really confused.
After all, in the original drama, it seemed that only Shoichi Tsugami was a complete Agito from beginning to end. As for the other "powers of light" - even Manao Fuuya who had evolved the ability to resurrect had not yet become "Agito".
As for the alternative Agito…
That's another matter.
As a result, not long after Shoichi Tsugami learned how to transform and fight monsters, Kana Okamura told him that she had actually transformed into Agito yesterday!
But during this period of time, he didn't seem to have done anything to Kana Okamura. The two of them just hurt each other every day.
Kawahara couldn't help but ask with curiosity and anticipation: "Can you show me how to do it?"
Okamura Kana: “…”
Your look is a little too scary...
She lowered her head and shook it quickly.
It took great courage for Kana Okamura to tell this matter to someone she didn't know well and ask for help. However, it does not mean that she has accepted the way she has become!
After all, a beautiful young woman turned into a stag beetle monster (actually a Western dragon) in the blink of an eye.
Kana Okamura hugged her arms in disbelief.
Kawahara looked up at the clock on the wall, then said to her, "I'm going out later, do you want to go with me?"
——Going out?
Okamura Kana was stunned and thought, this person seemed to have mentioned that he could see some monster yesterday...
While she was hesitating, Kawahara had already drawn a conclusion from her behavior: "Manager, Ms. Okamura, please come out with me later."
The Jewelry Store Manager looked up and said, "Ah?"
Kawahara smiled and said, "It shouldn't matter. Today is Monday anyway!"
The store manager Shiyu looked at him speechlessly. Okamura Kana lowered her head and whispered, "Excuse me, store manager..."
……
In the end, the two of them left the store manager and went out.
Kawahara made an appointment with Ashihara Ryo to meet today last night. Originally, he was too lazy to run and wanted to invite them directly to the PolePole Cafe.
But Ashihara Ryo refused, and Gills chose a location outside by himself.
It was a rare step for Kana Okamura to take, so Kawahara naturally didn't mind taking her to witness some similar people.
Although this girl who has evolved into "Agito" may not be able to become a leader, her existence is very suitable as a reference sample for other super-powered people.
Riverside Park.
Kawahara stopped on the side of the road in the Ultimate Chaser.
Kana Okamura, who was sitting in the back seat, looked around and seemed to have noticed something. The first thing she noticed was the young man sitting on the riverside bench with his back to them.
The young man in the black cotton jacket also turned his head and looked over, then frowned, as if he was puzzled as to why Yu Chuanyuan brought a girl with him.
What they want to talk about should not be heard by irrelevant people.
Even his most trusted coach couldn't accept it.
Awihara Ryo stood up and walked over and said, "Is she your girlfriend?"
When Okamura Kana, who was looking at him, heard this, she was so frightened that her scalp went numb and her whole body subconsciously tensed up.
"Do not misunderstand."
Kawahara parked his motorcycle and smiled: "It's just that she is in the same situation as you, so I brought her here. After all, similar people should have some common topics."
——They are the same?!
Ashihara Ryo and Okamura Kana looked at each other in surprise.
