I'm the heroine of a love game in a comic book

Of course it's not a coincidence, Gin thought.

That day he received an order to take away Gipson's daughter, who was said to have inherited her mother's medical talent.

The task was simple and unremarkable. After dealing with the gambler who sold his daughter and the pervert with a copper smelting habit, Gin looked at the little girl carefully.

He was originally curious about Yuecheng Xuejian, who was known as a child prodigy, but was disappointed when he saw her in person. She was just a little girl who had just grown to his waist. The only saving grace was that she didn't react even when blood splashed all over her. She didn't scream, but stared at him with her eyes wide open.

Gin frowned, wondering if he was frightened.

After calling out a few times but getting no response, the young and energetic Gin turned around and left. Since he was no longer useful, he would be cannon fodder sooner or later if he was brought back to the organization.

Snowflakes fell on his shoulders, and then swayed with his steps and fell to the ground, where he stepped on them in the mud. The little girl behind him followed his footsteps, one deep step and one shallow step. The steps of an adult were too wide for her, and the girl had a hard time taking them, and soon she was out of breath.

Gin was annoyed by her voice and turned around to ask, "Why are you following me?"

The girl had a flattering smile on her childish face, her golden eyes twinkling, "Because I have nowhere else to go."

It has nothing to do with me. Those who do not have strong power in the organization will only end up dead.

Pretending not to notice Gin's mocking look, she asked, "Can I follow you? I'm very smart. I can learn anything quickly. My mother praised me for it."

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, the girl added her heaviest weight, "I'm really good. I've already received the admission letter from the Tokyo University School of Medicine. People like you must get injured often and it's hard to find a doctor. I'll be your doctor."

When her strengths were mentioned, the girl became more confident and started to negotiate with him.

It turns out he's not stupid, but he's not as smart as I thought either.

Poor little girl, she didn't know that I saved her for her medical talent.

Gin spat out the cigarette in his mouth and said, "Hurry up and catch up."

When did the unintelligent Gipson discover this secret? He must have known it since he deliberately took revenge on Rum and made Rum the Boss's medicine man. He was not as stupid as he thought.

Then why did she come back to save him? It was obvious that she didn't really want to save her.

Shuichi Akai should have protected her. After all, they were once lovers, so he wouldn't be so heartless. That's why I couldn't contact her in the past few days.

Why did she rush back to contact a helicopter for him and take a bullet for him?

[Brother, Vodka can call you brother, why can't I?]

[I don’t care, big brother, big brother, big brother!]

[Thank you, brother.]

Because... do you consider me as your family?

Ha, I, Kurosawa Jin, have never needed such useless things as family affection.

When he put the girl down from his arms, her eyes had lost their former luster, and her voice would no longer call him by those annoying names.

The only person in this world whom he could consider a "relative" was dead.

The situation is hopeless, why is he still struggling? But I will never surrender. I will die in glory!

Gin activated the bomb on his body.

--------

Masumi Sera is very busy preparing for her second brother Hideyoshi's wedding in a few days.

She was like a cheerful lark, and she chattered with Xiao Lanyuanzi who came to help about what kind of flowers to use at the wedding, how to arrange the seats for the guests, and whether the venue was too small and they should just change to another one...

This is also the first large-scale event for their family after nearly 20 years of reunion, so they must not be careless.

Hideyoshi and Yumi had already sneaked out to find some quiet time, leaving all the trivial matters to the energetic high school girls. The two of them are now arguing about where to go for their honeymoon.

Sonoko was very interested in the eldest son of the Akai family who seldom showed up, but unfortunately she was unable to say a word to him after he came several times, so she simply tried to get close to Sera.

Shiliang, who was always cheerful, hesitated and said, "My eldest brother already has a sister-in-law."

You should have said it earlier. Sonoko instantly lost interest and focused on the battle of designing the bride's bouquet.

Sera Masumi was stunned. Three years had passed, and his elder brother still hadn't gotten over it. He visited his elder sister-in-law's clinic and grave every day, as if she had never left.

------

Shuichi Akai once again stepped onto the stairs to the third floor of the clinic. He had walked this path thousands of times and could clearly picture what the clinic looked like in his mind.

The difference is that the girl will not appear in front of him as he expected.

He remembered every little thing that happened here with Xuejian. The girl in the white coat and black gauze skirt wandered around the clinic, sometimes leaning on his shoulder to listen to his love words, and sometimes staring at him to treat his wounds.

He and Xuejian had only been together for four years, and now the time they had been apart was soon catching up with the time they had been together.

If you count the time when the two of them were in love with each other, it was less than a year.

He always thought that one day they would be together forever, and he was not in a hurry. He never thought that no one would wait for him forever, and no one would love him deeply forever.

The clinic he thought would always stand in this city is now deserted. The person he thought would always stay there and wait for him to turn around has already left him behind.

Opening the door to the room on the third floor, the furnishings were the same as in previous years.

Shuichi Akai still remembers how he felt when he first sneaked in here and saw the girl's cozy little nest.

He thought, is this also a false impression created by the organization members? It's too real. After that, he couldn't help but have more complicated feelings towards [Gibson]. He wanted to find out whether this girl was as warm as her room.

The sofa holds many memories.

The girl who cried bitterly because she couldn't kill anyone, the girl who still had a kind heart in an evil organization, was the beginning of his love.

This kindness was eventually broken. After the final battle, Akai Shuichi learned from Amuro Toru that the girl was forced to kill because of him. This is probably why she said "I have committed an unforgivable crime".

If I were not here, would you still be working as a doctor? The disputes in the outside world would have nothing to do with you. After the organization is destroyed, you would be free from the shackles and feel even more relaxed.

Am I the source of your pain, Xuejian?

You have always said that you are a little monster who doesn't understand love and can't love, so you agreed to date Moroboshi Dai to observe how humans share the emotion of love.

In fact, you have already explained the meaning of love through your actions.

You love your identity as a doctor and the patients who need treatment, so you cannot bear to become a sickle that harvests lives;

You love your family, so you can't bear to leave the organization you regard as your home, and live and die with it. You regard Gin as your brother, so you blocked the bullet;

You love me, and that is your greatest misfortune.

Instead of fulfilling my promise to save you, I pushed you into the abyss.

Shuichi Akai still remembers the bullfighting dance he performed with Xuejian in the living room.

Looking back, Xuejian might have already started to like him at that time, which is why she ran to the safe house to visit him.

He was impatient after finishing his mission, and he was perfunctory about the date that he hadn't had for a long time, so he took you to the amusement park that couples often go to. As a result, you told me that this was your first time to go to the amusement park, and you were so happy.

When we got home at night, you had drunk too much wine, so you dragged me to dance, saying it was to make up for the dance we didn't finish last time because of the sneak attack.

Not long after, you shook off myself and started dancing. The combination of hard and soft movements of the bullfighting dance, coupled with your slightly red cheeks, made me, as a spectator, feel extremely excited.

I thought at the time, if you were just a girl who liked dancing and practiced medicine, I could love you with a clear conscience and introduce you to my relatives and friends, so that they would bless and envy us as a couple.

I always, always put you in opposition, assuming that you would leave me after learning the truth. I never asked you what you thought, arrogantly thinking that I could see through your heart and you would not stand on my side.

I didn't believe you from the beginning and didn't choose you, so how can I blame you for not choosing me in the end?

This is retribution.

Shuichi Akai sat on the sofa for a long time. As the sun set, he staggered downstairs and bumped into Hiroshima Ike who had just entered the door.

For three years, Akai Shuichi and Hiroshima Ike had tacitly agreed not to interfere with each other and had never said a word. They had nothing to say to each other, and they had only become familiar with each other because of Tsukishiro Yukimi. Now that she was gone, there was no need to talk to each other.

Shuichi Akai actually asked Hiroshima Ike why he let Yukimi leave.

Hiroshima Ike, who was beaten black and blue by him, only said one sentence, "This is her own choice." Akai Shuichi put down his hand in vain.

Yes, it was he who had always imposed his own ideas on Xuejian, both in the past and now.

Akai Shuichi thought, he never asked Xuejian if she was happy along the way, if she needed his company. He met her on his own, walked with her for a while and then left her, and wanted to lead her back to the road he was familiar with, but did he ever ask for her opinion?

Xuejian had already made her choice, and no one could change the future she had chosen for herself.

I was just a passerby who accompanied her on a journey.

But I still can't say that.

"goodbye".
