After saying hello, Kousuke and Ai left Professor Agasa's house.
The two strolled down the street, heading towards the movie theater.
On the way, Guangyou calmed down and continued to think about the things he hadn't finished thinking about earlier.
His way of making money was very limited, and to be honest, compared to his previous ways of making money, he didn't earn much from bars.
Previously, his minimum commission for a single task was several hundred thousand dollars, all in US dollars.
But it's good, even though the money is a bit less, it was earned through legitimate means.
Anyway, my spending level isn't high, so the money from the bar is enough.
He still remembered what Chengshi said to him that night:
"I hope you can never touch this kind of thing again and go back to being a normal boy."
He remembered this sentence very clearly because it truly touched his heart.
It's best to avoid that kind of thing.
If you get involved even once, there's a chance you'll be drawn into the struggle between the two factions.
In the end, it will be people like him who are paid to do things who will suffer.
Lacking legal identification in any country, they are arguably the best casualties in the power struggles.
Who knows, he might die in some unknown corner one day.
It's possible that a few days later, the police will have a new unsolved case in their files.
Actually, this ending is pretty good.
At least it proves they were here, even though nobody knows they were here.
However, the most likely explanation is that his remains were never found after his death.
That's why Kwang-yu wants to return to a normal life.
But that kind of life is easy to get into, but hard to get out of.
Many people want to retire, but how many actually succeed in retiring and returning to a peaceful life?
Most of them were killed in the "last order".
Even if you complete your mission and retire successfully, you may still face troubles such as your former employer betraying you or your enemies coming to your door.
It might still end up being a disaster if you're not careful.
Even if you're lucky enough to survive, you might still incur the wrath of your enemies' powerful backers.
Unless you take them all out at once, there will be a lot of trouble.
One wave of problems is solved, another arises, and before you know it, you're left with nothing but failure.
Who can withstand this?
Of those who can truly return to peace, only three or four out of a hundred are likely to be able to do so, a very small number.
These are common knowledge in that industry, but many people still want to retire like moths to a flame.
Because they wanted to try their luck with that tiny fraction of a percent chance.
Guangyou couldn't do it before, but the situation is different now.
Having come here and acquired legitimate identity information, I am no longer an "invisible person."
It can be said that from the moment he arrived here, he truly retired.
There will be no enemies coming to your door, nor will you encounter any situation where your employer turns against you.
Since such an opportunity had come along so easily, Guangyou naturally had to seize it firmly.
That kind of thing does make money quickly, but he wants a peaceful life and doesn't intend to make money that way.
Sure enough, I still need to find some legitimate ways to make some money.
After all, he still has to support the girl who's holding his hand.
The bar is currently under renovation and is estimated to take several more months to complete.
He currently has no income and has to put money into it.
Opening a new store requires a significant amount of capital, but it is a very good choice in the long run.
But what should we open?
Forget about the bar; Guangyou wants to expand his customer base and attract people of different ages to come and spend money.
The kind that caters to everyone from the elderly to children.
Therefore, arcades, bars, izakayas, and other places with age restrictions were all excluded by Kōyū.
For a moment, Guangyou was at a loss.
A few seconds later, Kwangyu made his decision.
If I can't think of anything, then I'll stop thinking about it for now.
Dating is the priority.
Coming to his senses, Kōyū turned to look at Ai, who was holding his hand, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
I never dared to dream of living like this before.
In his memory...
Of course, it's the same guy from before.
In my memory, the few times I went shopping were all for the purpose of completing a task.
But that's not the case now.
The person next to him now is neither the mission target nor someone he can use to get closer to the mission target.
It's not about the person you like.
Noticing Kōyū's gaze, Ai turned her head and looked at him before asking, "What's wrong?"
She had no idea how much Kwang-yu had been thinking on the way there.
"It's nothing." Kōyū smiled, squeezed Ai's hand, and changed the subject, "Have you decided what movie to watch?"
"I don't even know what movies are showing, what am I supposed to do?" Ai looked away and said, "Let's wait until we get to the theater to see them."
“Okay.” Guangyou nodded with a smile.
After finishing their conversation, the two continued walking towards the movie theater.
Soon, we arrived at the movie theater.
The holiday has just ended, and while the number of people in cinemas has decreased compared to the day of the holiday, it is still much higher than usual.
Most of the people who came were in pairs, including men and women, women and women, and men and men.
There were also solo travelers, and quite a few of them, though fewer compared to those who came in pairs.
"What do you want to see?" Kōyū asked, pointing to the screen displaying today's movie screenings as he escorted Ai to the ticket counter.
"Hmm... let me think." Ai looked at the screen, but her thoughts drifted elsewhere.
There were many people in line, so Guangyou practically carried her in his arms as he slowly moved over.
