Chapter 68 The KTV Hall
Chapter 68 The KTV Hall
When Dazai Osamu and Buteizai returned to the hotel, they saw Kunikida Doppo and Nakajima Atsushi waiting for them to come back in their room.
Not only that, the looks of the two of them were much worse than before they went out.
"What's wrong? Such an expression..."
Osamu Dazai pushed away the chair in front of the table, sat down on it and crossed his hands on his lap.
Kunikida Doppo took out a gold-plated card from his pocket, threw it on the table and said with a very embarrassed look: "I took Atsushi to the KTV to see what you said. .”
"Then, what did you encounter?"
Wu Zhenzai answered, at this time he remembered the contents of the documents he had seen in the secret door of the orphanage director's office.
Kunikida Doppo made a memory, telling the foreword and the aftermath of the incident one by one.
…………………………………………………………………………
It was [-]:[-] in the evening, because it happened to be the time to start the nightlife just after dinner, and the street where the KTV was located changed from the deserted appearance of the day to become very lively with people coming and going.
Most of the people who come and go on this street are people in their 20s to 40s. They take off the well-behaved suits and uniforms they wear during the day for work or study, and put on lively and trendy clothes to show Their personal preference for a distinctive look.
All of a sudden, the street looked like a group of demons dancing wildly.
The KTV is right in the middle of the street, with blue flashing lights flashing on the big house number, and the sound of high-pitched pop music can be heard from inside the room.
When Kunikida took Atsushi Nakajima into the KTV, he found that this place was different from what he had seen before. Many people gathered in the hall, singing or dancing, and they didn't know what they were doing.
But one thing is clearly confirmed, that is, everyone at the scene, regardless of gender, old or young, is all high.
What is going on here?
Shouldn't a normal KTV be where everyone goes back to their own box to sing after ordering the box?
At most, I can order a drink or share snacks in the store outside. Why are everyone gathered in the lobby now? !
Looking at such a scene, Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses a little uncomfortable, and then planned to find a staff member who could explain the current situation to them.
Although the KTV scene was a bit unexpected, fortunately, their boss obviously didn't intend to do anything about the decoration. Kunikida Doppo, who was looking for the service desk according to his usual experience, soon saw himself in the corner on the right side of the gate. The target, a young woman in uniform sitting on the inside of the desk.
"Ah Dun, there are quite a lot of people here, it would be bad if they are crowded out..."
Kunikida Doppo pushed his eyes, turned his head to Atsushi Nakajima and said, "You take my hand first, let's go to the service desk to ask about the situation."
"Ah, yes, I see, Mr. Kunikida."
Atsushi Nakajima responded quickly when he heard the words, while grabbing Kunikida Doppo's sleeve, he followed him to the right.
The crowd was really huge, and Kunikida Doppo squeezed to the left and squeezed to the front of the service desk with a lot of effort.
Then he stopped, let out a long sigh of relief, reached out to wipe the sweat off his cheeks, and at the same time tapped the table of the service desk with his knuckles.
When the waiter raised his head in doubt and asked "What are your needs?" Kunikida Doppo curiously pointed to the crowd gathered in the hall and asked, "Why are these people gathered here?"
The staff member tilted her head in confusion. In her opinion, the question Kunikida Doppo asked was very strange, because it could be regarded as something that everyone who came here knew.
Moreover, this event is not the first day today. It has been more than ten years since the construction of KTV.
The locals must know what is going on, and foreign tourists must have made a copy of the strategy before they come to play.
In this case, no matter whether the other party makes strategies through travel magazines or online publicity, it is impossible for them not to know this fixed characteristic feedback activity of their KTV.
After all, they are the only KTV in Japan that has designed such a feedback activity. You must know that because of the design of this business activity, their boss has been jokingly called a model on the Internet for people who are stupid and quick to make money.
Seeing this, Kunikida Doppo scratched his cheek in embarrassment, and explained: "I didn't mean anything else, but when I went to KTV before, customers usually went after booking a box in the lobby. Playing in the box, but here..."
In the middle of the speech, his voice paused, and then he looked at the scene of the group of demons dancing wildly, and his frown showed that he was obviously not used to the noisy atmosphere here.
"...I thought the scene of getting together and having a party like this usually happens in a bar."
Kunikida Doppo ended with a difficult tone at the end.
Seeing Kunikida Doppo's expression, the waiter smiled slightly, and then pulled out an unfolded promotional poster from the drawer under the service desk.
It was a promotional poster with a dark blue background and a silver outline. In the middle of the poster, the words "Monthly Feedback Festival" were outlined in golden ink.
Under the big characters, the time of the event and the fact that all drinks are free for the audience are also written in small white characters.
"I don't think you are locals, and you don't have the habit of going to KTV or bars, do you?" the waiter asked back.
Kunikida Doppo nodded after hearing this, and then rubbed his forehead wearily, "That's true, we are here on vacation, and we are bored tonight, so we came here to have a look on the recommendation of a friend."
"That's it, since this is the case, it's normal that you didn't know about it before." The waiter sighed with emotion.
After hearing the waiter's sigh, Kunikida Doppo asked doubtfully, "Are your events famous?"
"After all, it has been an event that has lasted for more than ten years. In addition, there is such a feedback event every quarter, so the local people basically know about it."
The waiter answered Kunikida Doppo's question politely, and at the same time bent down and took out a stack of documents under the service desk.
She pulled out the top copy of the file, and pushed it in front of Kunikida Doppo, "This is your first time here, just in case I'll give you a copy of our renovation map."
"Ah, thank you!"
Doppo Kunikida took the document a little embarrassed, and signaled Atsushi Nakajima to take it with his eyes, and after reading it, he turned his head and spoke to the waiter again: "Speaking of which, such an event should be very expensive, but you still hold it every quarter once!"
Perhaps to prove what he said was true, Kunikida Doppo pointed to the young people who were eating and drinking together not far away, and then focused on the snacks, fruit plates and drinks that were scattered everywhere on the long table on one side.
There were also many wine bottles that were knocked over directly, and the purple-red wine slid down the table one by one.
Doppo Kunikida felt pain in his heart watching this scene, what a waste!
It would be nice if it could be given to me.
In fact, according to Kunikida Doppo's original salary, he shouldn't be so distressed, but who made Buteizai, a guy who has always been worrying, be his partner? !
So their daily life became - Wu Zhenzai fell into the water, his wallet was washed away by the water, Wu Zhenzai ate his.
Wu Jingzai hanged himself from a tree, the paper money was blown away by the wind, and then ate him.
Takeshi Zaisaku died writing back alleys, his wallet was snatched by the gangsters, and then ate his.
All in all, no matter what his partner does, the end result is always the wallet disappears, and then comes to rub his own wallet.
This led to a lot of wages paid by the detective agency, and Kunikida Doppo could not spend much money alone, but no matter what, his money could not be saved in the end.
And what's even more frightening is that Butaizai has always been meticulous, as can be seen from the other party's windbreaker and sapphire bow tie.
After one seafood meal after another, his wallet was successfully emptied.
Kunikida Doppo's performance was completely noticed by the waiter, and the brown-haired woman pursed her lips and snickered: "We are in business no matter what, we can't really do business at a loss!"
Then she waved her hand and added: "This can also be regarded as a marketing method, because our KTV has become the most special one in the country through this event, and the daily revenue growth driven by this kind of spontaneous publicity soft advertisement can fully offset The cost of this one night."
"Rich and famous, isn't it good to make money like this?"
The waiter showed a look of honor when explaining, obviously admiring the boss he said could come up with such a method.
This sense of admiration allows her to actively devote herself to her work.
After all, KTV is a service industry, and the staff members have shown such a positive outlook, and customers can naturally perceive this.
I found that this place can get better treatment than other KTVs, and when I want to come out to play again, I will naturally choose this place as my first choice.
Killing two birds with one stone, I have to say that this boss is really powerful.
Seeing that the waiter obviously admired his big boss very much, Kunikida Doppo also followed her words and began to admire the wise decision of the KTV boss.
Kunikida Doppo's behavior clearly improved the favorability of the waiter. Even though the two of them had chatted about a lot of irrelevant things in this place, she didn't have the same feeling as when she faced other difficult or nagging customers. That feeling of suffocation and boredom.
The chatterboxed waiter brought by Kunikida Doppo spoke endlessly: "When we were discussing whether to confirm this project, our boss said that coming to a place like KTV is an atmosphere, so people who play together Naturally, the more the better."
"It was just such an idea that prompted the boss to create such an activity."
And today, only snacks, drinks and drinks are free, but other items such as boxes are still charged normally.
If the customer is tired from playing in the lobby but doesn’t want to go home so early, then he can directly order a box on the KTV side to take a rest, and it is more likely to continue going out to play after his physical strength recovers.
At least for so many years, every event will not lack customers who have made similar choices.
As for the opinions of those customers, a discount can solve them all.
So this is the so-called you think you may have made money, but I will never lose money.
Seeing the complacent look of the waiter, Kunikida Doppo changed the angle of praise: "I think the atmosphere is one thing, everyone will like to participate in tonight's event because it can be used as an offline place to meet new friends platform."
"Oh, what do you say?" Kunikida Doppo's opinion clearly aroused the waiter's curiosity.
She put her hands on her chin, and looked at the young man with golden chestnut hair with a smile on her eyes like autumn water.
Kunikida Doppo tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, then turned his head to look at those young people who went crazy together after being drunk, and said: "Everyone you meet in life may not necessarily share the same interests, even if you are really If you meet people with similar interests, you may not be able to make friends smoothly.”
"But it's not necessarily the case here. Being able to play in the same place shows that the interests in certain aspects are similar. As for the problem of making friends..."
Kunikida Doppo's tone paused, and then he said in a teasing tone: "Everyone is crazy and drunk, so we know each other naturally."
"I see, your statement is really interesting!" The waiter obviously liked this statement very much, and laughed non-stop after hearing it.
Maybe it was because they really liked Kunikida Doppo. When Kunikida Doppo said goodbye to him, the waiter who stopped smiling suddenly stuffed a silver-white coin-like thing into their hands.
Kunikida Doppo who suddenly received the 'gift' was stunned, and then saw the waiter put the index finger of his right hand to his mouth, made a 'shush' gesture and said mysteriously: "Our Things that are really exciting will not be put on the bright side, this is similar to the existence of a pass, as to whether you can encounter it depends on your luck!"
Kunikida Doppo nodded thoughtfully, put the coin into his pocket and thought silently.
Something really exciting? !
After bidding farewell to the waiter, Kunikida Doppo followed Nakajima Atsushi who had read the map earlier in the morning and walked towards the store.
The store is no different from other small shops. Snacks and fruit plates are neatly arranged on the clips.
Behind the cash register is a semi-open bartending area, with a tall and beautiful bartender leaning lazily on a table to one side.
"Hello!" Kunikida stepped forward and greeted the bartender lady.
After hearing Kunikida Doppo's greeting, the bartender lady straightened up and asked while wiping her hands with a sterile paper towel: "Do you have any needs?"
The other party's tone was extremely cold, and it could be said that it was entirely the good-looking face that saved the customer's sense of consumption.
Kunikida Doppo ignored the bartender lady's attitude, after all, it was easier to deal with indifference than those messing around.
"Dun-kun has just reached his age, I will take him out to see the world, please help us choose two glasses of cocktails that are relatively low in strength and not that strong in stamina." Kunikida Doppo put his hand on the white-haired young man beside him, smiling Yingying said.
Atsushi Nakajima, who was pulled over, scratched his cheek in embarrassment, then waved to the bartender and said, "Hi."
The bartender glanced Kunikida Doppo and Nakajima Atsushi up and down, and said, "Is Tequila Sunrise and Pina Colada okay? These two don't have high degrees."
"It's up to you to decide." Kunikida Doppo pushed his glasses and said, and then waited for the bartender lady to start mixing.
After all, she is a professional bartender. After taking out the fruits and ingredients that need to be used, the lady bartender moves neatly but gracefully to start making.
Maybe it was because of the relatively low difficulty, she also flung the bottle for a week like a show of skill, which made people dazzled.
Looking at the milky white wine being delivered to him, Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help but sigh, "It's amazing!"
Looking at the bright eyes of the white-haired boy, the bartender's expression softened slightly.
"It's nothing, these are the basics." She said simply.
Although he deliberately chose a cocktail with a relatively low alcohol content, it was the first time for Atsushi Nakajima to touch these things. When they came out of the store, they had already become a little dizzy.
Following the somewhat crowded crowd, they gradually entered the auditorium from the hall.
This is a very huge room with an oval-shaped golden roof above it; the floor is covered with red carpets, and the center of the auditorium is tables and chairs of the same color; the colorful lights are constantly shining, which is called the auditorium. The young people who were having fun inside looked a little devilish.
Sing, dance, gamble, throw dice...
This place seemed very chaotic, with all kinds of voices gathering together, it was extremely noisy.
At this moment, Atsushi Nakajima tugged on the sleeve of Doppo Rakuni Kida, then pointed to the crowd not far away and said: "The smell over there seems a bit strange."
Kunikida heard the words and looked over, and then found that there seemed to be a few people in the crowd who were selling something.
Several young men with thin bodies and high protruding cheeks, who looked like addicts at first glance, paid the money and took a small bag of red crystal-like items from those people.
Then they crushed the granules, or sucked them directly or mixed them with some liquid and then injected them into the body through a needle. They soon showed a look of great enjoyment, and at the same time their eyes became blurred.
But within a few minutes, those who smoked the red crystalline particles collapsed on the ground or on the sofa one by one, shaking their heads.
Even if a few people managed to stand up, their walking posture was very shaky, as if they were about to fall at any time.
"This should be a drug. Adon, you have sharp senses. Stay away from these people."
Kunikida Doppo said this, and then pulled Atsushi Nakajima away from where they were standing now, and walked towards the farthest distance from the drug addicts.
After hearing Kunikida Doppo's words, Nakajima Atsushi nodded obediently, and then said lazily in a drawn out tone: "I know, it's not a good thing, it smells so bad that you want to vomit."
After hearing this, Kunikida Doppo quickened his pace of leaving, while pinching Nakajima Atsushi's nose with his left hand, trying to shut off the opponent's keen sense of smell.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, when they walked to a remote corner, they saw a hidden small door, and a few young people who looked a little expensive compared to ordinary people entered this small door.
After seeing it, Kunikida Doppo helped Atsushi Nakajima to the side of the male servant guarding the small door, pointed to the door and asked, "Is this side open to the public?" Then he pointed to the chaotic place not far away The crowd said: "I saw that there seemed to be fewer people entering here. We were a little headache from the noise. We wanted to find a quieter place to stay for a while."
The male servant glanced up and down Kunikida Doppo, looked at Nakajima Atsushi's tender cheeks supported by the other party, and then shook his head slightly.
"I'm very sorry, sir, this place is only open to members."
"If you really feel that it's a bit of a headache to stay outside, you can go to the front desk and open an upstairs box, that place will be quieter."
Kunikida Doppo, who was rejected, seemed a little stunned. He didn't expect that under the current so-called "customer is God", there is still a service industry that pushes customers away like this.
But I have to say that this made him even more curious about what was behind this door.
So he looked at the situation on the side with some hesitation, then looked at the small door, and said, "It's a bit noisy here, and there are so many people that it's troublesome to go to the hall. If this door needs membership If you can enter, then how do you apply for membership here, I will go in directly after I do one."
After hearing this, the male servant frowned in embarrassment, and smiled bitterly: "Sir, don't embarrass us, the rules are the rules, and they cannot be changed casually."
After hearing this, Kunikida Doppo took a sum of money from his pocket and stuffed it directly into the waiter's pocket.
"It's just a matter of convenience. My friend is also a little drunk, and now he needs to find a place to rest." Kunikida Doppo said resolutely.
At the same time, Atsushi Nakajima felt that someone was surrounding the two of them.
Is it a security guard?
The white-haired boy thought in a daze, and then secretly pulled Kunikida Doppo's sleeve to remind him.
At this time, Kunikida Doppo was still entangled with the servant, and the other party refused: "Members joined by relying on credentials, and they are all confirmed distinguished guests. We want to guarantee their privacy, so I am very sorry for the other party!"
At this moment, for some reason, Kunikida Doppo suddenly remembered the words that the waiter said mysteriously before - the coin is the voucher to open the really exciting thing.
"Certificate, is it this thing?" Kunikida Doppo took the coin out of his pocket, and then asked with the last expectation.
The author has something to say: I just downloaded a new game and played it like crazy, and then I checked the time... Fuck, the update hasn't been played yet! ! !
