"Ah... long time no see, I have received so much care from you before, and I have always hoped to have the opportunity to thank you in person!"

"There... Mr. Kuroda, how are you doing!"

...

Suddenly seeing Akio Kuroda, the client of the case he handled before, appearing in the Sakura no Sato coffee shop, Lin Xiu felt a little stunned for a while, but... When he saw Akio Kuroda's attitude, he knew the other party Not to trouble yourself.

Sakurako, who was taking care of everyone and sharing sushi, saw Yulin Shuichi's friend approaching the door, so she promised everyone, and then Sakurako walked behind the bar and greeted Kuroda Akio:

"Since you are Mr. Lin's friend, please come and sit here! I'm so sorry, the store is closed, and only some friends who came to help stay here, um... If possible, I'll give you permission Have a cup of coffee!"

"Uh... this way, it won't cause you too much trouble!"

"There, please don't be polite!"

...

Perhaps it was Sakurako's enthusiasm that made Akio Kuroda dispel some of his concerns, and he walked cautiously to the bar, and then sat opposite Sakurako with Lin Xiuyi.

"It's already this time, how about making you a cup of milk coffee with less caffeine?"

"Uh... thank you!"

When Sakurako's suggestion was approved by Akio Kuroda, she placed a coaster in front of the two of them. Then he started making his own specialty coffee in earnest. Seeing Sakurako's busy figure, Lin Xiuyi seized the opportunity and took the initiative to inquire about Kuroda Akio:

"Mr. Kuroda, you came to see me today... is there something wrong?"

"Uh... Speaking of which... I'm really ashamed! Mr. Lin, you have given me such a big favor, but it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to thank you in person until today. Speaking of which... I'm really embarrassed! Ah... ...please wait a moment..."

As Kuroda Shoji spoke, he took out something wrapped in a gift box from his handbag, and Lin Xiu felt a little overwhelmed when he saw the other party's move.

"Mr. Kuroda, you are..."

"Uh... I don't have any respect at all. This is a work that I have devoted myself to cultivating in pottery for the past six months. It is not something valuable. I hope you don't dislike it!"

Hear the other party's humble explanation. Lin Xiuyi took the gift from the other party's hand with confidence, and then Lin Xiuyi opened the gift box in front of him in front of Akio Kuroda, and then he saw a black-gray pottery with golden enamel glittering. The tea bowl is lying quietly in the box. The style of the tea bowl is quite simple, and the glaze color is not a common color on the market, but... It can be seen that this is indeed a pottery made by hand with a lot of thought.

"Ah...that's really pretty!"

"As long as you like it, before I leave, I can convey my gratitude to you, I have no regrets!"

"Eh... Mr. Kuroda, are you... leaving Tokyo?"

"Hey, as soon as I leave this time, I don't know if I will have a chance to return to this city again, but... I have no regrets now. If it weren't for your persistent pursuit, I'm afraid that it will not be until I leave this world. The stigma on me is still difficult to wash away..."

"Mr. Kuroda, you are too polite. Find out the truth of the matter... It's just my fault!"

...

When Kuroda was talking to Lin Xiuyi, he subconsciously took a sip from the coffee cup in his hand. Who knew that the silky and delicate taste and the complex aroma of coffee in his mouth could not help but make a mouthful. Akio Kuroda praised in surprise:

"This cup...is really a different kind of coffee! As expected of the champion of the World Barista Competition! That...this lady, may I ask...have you ever tasted Colombian coffee?"

"Eh? That...before our shop mainly used Geisha coffee imported from Panama, in Colombian..."

"Ah... Please don't mind, I'm just asking casually, you are a coffee shop after all, and being able to provide customers with good coffee is the most important thing! But... Until now, when it comes to coffee as a drink Come on. I still can't forget the coffee I drank in Colombia in the past! At that time... in order to avoid the enemy's encirclement and suppression, we could only constantly hide in the damp forest. Occasionally when we reach a safe place, we will be happy We will take out the coffee beans, roast them on the hot stone, and finally, we will smash those coffee beans with the **** of a gun to brew coffee... At that time, to be able to drink such a hot cup, What a joy it is!"

"Ah... so you used to live in Colombia before! But... butts or something..."

Hearing Yingzi nervously asked about the gun butt, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but glance at Yingzi, and then Yingzi lowered her head as if she had done something wrong. How to deal with it. However, Akio Kuroda did not seem to be aware of the problems in his words, and he continued to recall with a little emotion:

"Yeah, Colombia is my second home, and when I was most helpless, it was that faraway country that finally gave me a place to live. But...that's all in the past...by the way, today It's late, I won't disturb you, thank you for your coffee. Goodbye, Mr. Lin!"

As soon as Kuroda Shoji finished speaking, he raised the coffee cup and drank the remaining coffee in the cup. Then he stood up and bowed solemnly to Lin Xiu, then turned and left.

It was not until Akio Kuroda left Sakura no Sato that Sakurako couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, and then asked Lin Xiuyi curiously:

"Mr. Lin, the gentleman just now... seems to have mentioned guns..."

"Ah...it doesn't matter, he didn't say that to threaten me~lightnovelpub.net~ In fact...he used to be part of an anti-government guerrilla in Colombia, I think...that's what he just said. An experience!"

Hearing Lin Xiuyi's explanation, Sakurako finally felt relieved. In terms of Lin Xiuyi's profession, there is indeed a possibility of being hated by others. And smart Sakurako will naturally be more sensitive in this regard. But... this gentleman who came to see Lin Xiuyi suddenly today, his experience is really not complicated!

"Sakura-chan, hurry up and have something to eat, or else there will be no sushi in the midsection!"

"Hey! I'm coming... Mr. Lin... Come and sit with everyone for a while too!"

Yingzi heard her friend's greeting, and then looked at Lin Xiuyi, only to find that Lin Xiuyi was staring at the direction where the gentleman left just now and seemed to be thinking about something, which made Yingzi feel a little puzzled.

"Mr. Lin?"

"Mr. Lin!"

"Ah... I'm so sorry, I suddenly thought of some other things just now... Uh, let's go over now!"
