Platycodon is a little confused, this is a word she has never heard of.
She looked in the direction of Matt's finger, and there was a shop across the street. The sign showed a white cup filled with black liquid. This should be coffee, right?
"It's okay if you want something to drink."
Kikyo blinked suddenly and nodded slightly.
The man in front of me seemed out of place in this place full of malice and violence.
Plus he introduced himself as a lawyer before...
That should be the same position as "Tongxin" who handles matters related to the dead.
Kikyo thought to herself.
Here, Matt's radar sense could clearly detect Kikyo's facial expression. When he said the word coffee, the miko lady in front of him looked confused for a moment.
This surprised Matt. Doesn't it mean that modern mikos are all professional?
But the miko lady in front of me doesn't even know what coffee is. Has she been practicing in seclusion in the mountains for too long?
and……
Matt pursed his lips, with a solemn expression on his face.
He felt strange from just now. He couldn't hear any heartbeat or pulse from this miko lady, and he couldn't even feel her breathing.
This feeling is like facing a dead body, which is so weird that it makes people feel numb.
If Matt had to describe it, he could only think of one word at this time, living dead!
But according to what Fudge said, the miko lady in front of her was clearly hunting the living dead at night, and she was a real miko with spiritual power. These were Fudge's exact words.
But what on earth is going on with the dead miko?
What secret is hidden in this miko lady?
There are too few clues currently presented to Matt. If he wants to get a clear clue, he needs more observations.
With doubts in his heart, Matt brought Platycodon to the coffee shop and raised his right hand gracefully.
"Lady first."
Kikyo looked at the transparent glass door in front of her and tentatively stretched out her hand to push it twice.
The glass door didn't move at all.
Of course it can't be pushed, because there is a card slot next to the door, and you need to insert the coffee shop's today's promotion card to open the door automatically.
In order to attract customers, this coffee shop has come up with unique ideas. It uses daily theme cards in the form of magnetic cards. When customers insert their cards to enter the store, they can also know about today's special drinks.
The beautifully packaged magnetic cards can also be given as small gifts to customers. The magnetic cards come in a set. If you want to collect them all, some customers will come to this coffee shop to wait.
A very good idea, but it’s a pity that Kikyo doesn’t understand it.
Matt behind him naturally caught the sight of Kikyo pushing the door. The sign at the door clearly said, please insert your card to enter. Why did she push the door?
Matt was even more suspicious.
only……
The only thing that made him doubtful was what Fudge said that night.
This miko has the ability to purify the living dead.
But if she herself is a living dead, then why is she unharmed when she is purifying others?
This always requires a reasonable explanation.
"Welcome, please come in."
Just when Kikyo was helpless, the clerk of the coffee shop noticed the beautiful woman at the door and immediately stepped forward to help insert the card to open the door.
"Thanks."
Kikyo nodded slightly, and then followed the clerk to find a seat by the window and sit down.
"Just call me Matt. I would like to ask, what do you call Miss Miko?"
Matt stared at the witch in front of him intently, fearing that he would miss the slightest detail.
"Platycodon."
"That's a nice name, Miss Kikyo. Would you like something to drink?"
Matt smiled and handed the menu to Kikyo.
Kikyo opened the menu and blinked blankly again.
What is cheese? What is caramel cheese?
As a player, she automatically knows the language, so she knows every word here, but she doesn't know what it is specifically.
After much hesitation, she ordered a glass of the black liquid she had seen on the shop sign.
Since it will be hung on the door of the store as a sign, I guess the taste shouldn't be too bad.
Matt also noticed Kikyo's hesitation, but he pretended not to notice and ordered a cup of coffee.
While the coffee didn't come, Matt asked as if he didn't mean it.
"Can I ask which shrine Miss Kikyo works at?"
Kikyo shook her head.
She cannot reveal information about Maple Village. This is a "forbidden matter" that players need to abide by.
Is this because I don’t know? Or I can’t say?
Matt squinted his eyes slightly, thoughtfully.
"Then may I ask where Miss Kikyo is from?"
Platycodon was silent again.
Just when Matt thought that the miko in front of him would shake his head and refuse like the previous question, Kikyo unexpectedly answered.
"Emperor Foundation."
What's this?
It obviously doesn't sound like a place name, but more like the name of an organization.
But he had never heard of this organization.
Matt secretly remembered the "Emperor Foundation" in his mind and planned to research the relevant information of this organization in the future.
"Sir, ma'am, your coffee."
At this moment, the clerk brought the coffee over.
"Thanks."
Matt nodded slightly, then looked at Kikyo with a smile on his face.
"Miss Platycodon, please try it."
Kikyo followed the other customers around him and picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"It's so painful."
Duanli's facial features twisted together in an instant, and it was very difficult for her to swallow the bitter liquid in her mouth.
"If you feel that pure coffee is too bitter, you can add some sugar or milk appropriately."
Matt reminded kindly.
Why?
Can sugar be added to this bitter liquid?
Where is the sugar?
Platycodon looks on the empty dining table, where is the jar for putting sugar?
"Can't you find where to put the candy?"
Matt sighed slightly in his heart, then stood up and picked up the box on the table, picked up a sugar cube and placed it in the coffee cup in front of Kikyo.
"In this way, the sugar neutralizes the bitterness, and the coffee will no longer be so bitter."
"Thanks."
Kikyo smiled and nodded, thanking the other party for his kindness.
This was the first kind person she met after coming to Hell's Kitchen.
"I wonder where Miss Kikyo lives now?"
Matt returned to his seat and asked casually.
"No." Kikyo shook her head, "If I'm tired, I'll find a place to rest for a while."
"That's it!"
Matt nodded clearly, successfully concealing the surprise in his eyes. He was actually living on the street. It seemed that he couldn't let it go.
"Speaking of which, thank you Miss Kikyo for your help last night. I will be very grateful to you when Fudge comes back."
"Fudge?"
Kikyo tilted her head slightly, showing confusion. Who is Fudge? Has she seen him before?
"Last night, in the alley not far away, Fudge was attacked by a strange living dead-like creature. Didn't Miss Kikyo help save him?"
"So that's it." Kikyo suddenly realized, "It's nothing. I was chasing those living dead. Saving them was just an accident."
"Whether it was an accident or not, he and I are very grateful to Miss Kikyo."
Matt smiled.
"As a return gift of thanks, how about I help Miss Kikyo find a place to stay temporarily?"
"And I think a friend of mine would be very interested in some things about the living dead."
"His name is Daredevil. He has also been investigating these matters recently. I think you should have something in common."
Before Kikyo could say anything, Matt took the time and spoke quickly.
"Please don't refuse, Miss Kikyo. Besides, it would be nice to find a place to live."
"If you are not embarrassed, then thank you."
After a little hesitation, Kikyo nodded and agreed.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and a prompt suddenly appeared in front of Kikyo.
