After Oda Sakunosuke's parents died when he was young, he had already been excluded from the contact list of his relatives in his hometown after many ups and downs and displacements where he could not communicate with others humanely.When he was suddenly invited to the funeral of a distant relative for no reason, Oda Sakunosuke even had a thought of "who am I, where am I, and what am I doing".Thinking about it carefully, he no longer has any contact with his relatives, and even the blood relationship is not as meager as he and the puppy downstairs.

But after that funeral, Oda Sakunosuke thought they would never contact him again.After all, when some relatives who pretended to be affectionate and wanted to get close asked him how he was doing, he told his situation sincerely.So everyone knows that they have committed crimes before, have been in prison, and been in the reformatory, and now they are still on the road, and they all avoid themselves like snakes and scorpions.Keeping in touch after agreeing also died halfway.

Because this incident happened so suddenly, Oda Sakunosuke had no choice but to postpone the high school entrance ceremony celebration with Akashi and Totoro.And his travel expenses were completely emptied because of this unexpected trip, and he had to borrow another [-] yen from Weikang to pay for the funeral.Generally, it only costs about [-] to [-] yen, but everyone sees that he works in a big city, and they probably whisper that they are struggling and ask him to subsidize a little more.

After Weikang heard about this incident, he told Sakunosuke Oda to ignore those plastic relatives, and he must have come to him when he was in trouble.Because of this, Weikang was unwilling to borrow money from Oda at first.But Sakunosuke Oda didn't respond for a long time, and planned to leave, Weikang had to agree.

He still understands Oda to some extent.

Oda has no family since he was a child.

It is only natural to have feelings for relatives with blood ties.

However, what Weikang knew was that after Oda's parents left, the people who adopted him sent him around like a football, and those who went too far wanted to throw away Oda Sakunosuke several times.Although I haven't heard the complete story from Oda, but last time he accompanied Oda Sakunosuke to the funeral. From the "memory" story of them always accidentally getting lost in the big shopping mall and Oda, Wei Kang I know roughly.It was also he who deliberately said that Oda Sakunosuke was a gangster, so that those relatives would consciously avoid it, and don't come to Oda just because they have nothing to do.

Unexpectedly, he came to Oda again.

Weikang rolled his eyes at the group of poor relatives in small villages and small towns.

After lending Oda [-] yen, Weikang secretly stuffed [-] yen for the accompanying Zhongyuan so that he could use it in an emergency on the road.But definitely can't tell Oda.Otherwise, according to Oda's personality, if he had the money, it would definitely be given to the poor relatives at the funeral.

"From now on, it's up to you to take care of Oda." Weikang really felt that Sakunosuke Oda couldn't help him, and said to Nakahara Chuya earnestly, "If those top relatives ask Oda to do something, you must Help stop it."

After Zhongyuan Zhongye received the task, he nodded heavily.

When heading to Kyushu, Oda Sakunosuke and Nakahara Nakaya took the express train, and the two didn't talk much.At noon, Oda asked Zhongyuan if he was hungry, so he could have some food.Only then did Zhongyuan make up his mind to tell Oda his future plans.

This time the Huang Ba vomit incident is considered to be the truth, but it doesn't count.

Zhongyuan Zhong also had memories of this world since he was eight years old, and the Huangba vomiting incident also occurred in the year when he had memories.Working with Dazai Osamu to investigate the secrets behind Huangbatu, and to pursue the mystery of his own life experience, he knew that he was born in this world because of an undercover Lantang with dimensional abilities in Hong Kong.Lan Tang brought himself into this world, but he didn't tell himself whether he was the container of the ability or the ability itself.After Lan Tang's death, there is no way to know more secrets, unless he becomes a Hong Kong gangster cadre.

He also has feelings for the members of the "Sheep", but he heard that he thought he was dead in the wine cellar, so they defected to other organizations one after another.Although they met them again during the investigation, they couldn't explain their rebellious behavior, so they invited Zhongyuan to join them and join other people's organizations.

Whether it's for his own secrets, or because Oda Sakunosuke is in Hong Kong and black.

"Mr. Sakunosuke, I also want to join the gangsters."

Zhong Yuanzhong also said every word seriously.

"Aren't you going to school? I can still save the tuition." Oda Sakunosuke asked Nakahara very seriously.

Reading can provide him with more opportunities in the future.

Oda Sakunosuke has no academic qualifications and only has a criminal record, so he has been doing various gray area jobs at the bottom of society.But he can ask someone to help Zhong Yuan regain his identity and study hard like an ordinary student. Maybe it will be better to be a white-collar worker than to earn a living on the tip of a knife in the future.

Oda Sakunosuke is someone who has experienced it, so he doesn't want to see Nakahara Nakaya go his own way.

Nakahara knew what Oda was thinking, and his fingers clenched tightly in his palm as if he was about to grab something.

"I don't want to be different from Sakunosuke-san..."

It feels as if they have embarked on a different path, and they will be farther and farther away from Oda Sakunosuke.For example, just like the orphan Atsushi Nakajima he sponsored, Sakunosuke Oda never told him his identity, his background, and he was not tempted by the future gratitude that Nakajima promised.Oda Sakunosuke said that he didn't want to stain the child's life history, but that it was enough to help him through the most difficult period of his life.

Zhongyuan knew what he meant.

Oda Sakunosuke never thought about getting anything from others.He doesn't need bondage, gratitude, emotional maintenance, etc. He will only help others silently, and when the other party becomes successful and no longer needs him, he will leave their sight.But he helped others, what about himself?Who will accompany him through the most difficult time in his life?What about the family he wants?

Zhongyuan dare to believe it.

If he really becomes a person living in a bright society, Oda will completely disappear by himself in order not to delay him.

Therefore, he wants to live in the same world with Oda and become each other's relatives and friends.

Nakahara saw Oda Sakunosuke looking at him, and felt that it was too sensational and inappropriate to speak out from his heart, and it was not a speech on stage.It's strange that he's full of blood all by himself.After avoiding Oda’s sight, Nakahara leaned back in his chair pretending to be loose and said, “I’m used to being free in the organization, and I can’t stand the rules and regulations of school discipline, and I’m not interested in studying. In addition, Hong Kong and Black He also invited me, and I think I am more suitable for that kind of life."

Oda looked at him with a slight frown, seeing that Zhongyuan was about to surrender and said that he should grab both hands and go to school while working in Hong Kong and gangsters.Finally, Oda breathed out slowly and said, "Then you can make your own decision. You are 15 years old, it's time to make your own decision."

He was also 15 years old when he decided to join Hong Kong Black.

If Nakahara was an elementary school student, Oda would make the decision for him.

"Why did Mr. Sakunosuke join Hong Kong black?" Nakahara asked curiously.

The Yokohama gangsters are complex, and there are still two or three powerful organizations comparable to the current Hong Kong gangsters. Why did you choose Hong Kong gangsters instead of other armed organizations? Is it because Hong Kong gangsters are more established?

"At that time, there was no money, and Hong Kong gangsters were recruiting people, so I went in."

Central Plains: "..."

Seeing the corners of Zhong Yuan's mouth twitching, Oda couldn't help the smile on his lips: "Do you want to hear some heart-pounding stories?"

"Not at all."

I just didn't expect this reason to be really quite plain.

Zhongyuan thought so.

"I have lived for twenty years without wind or waves, and I am very boring." Oda Sakunosuke simply defined his life.

If there was no wind and no waves, how could he embark on the path of a professional killer, and why would he give up the profession of killing, and live a mediocre life at the bottom of the gangsters in Hong Kong without fighting or grabbing?

Nakahara knew that Oda was either unwilling to tell himself, or he really felt that the past was irrelevant.

Zhong Yuan changed the subject and asked, "Whose funeral did we go to this time?"

"I heard it was the funeral of my grandmother's distant cousin."

"That's more than three or four generations apart."

Zhongyuan suspected that the other party invited Oda to extort money.

This Oda has never met the other party, and has no contact with him. Is it necessary to go there?

Oda seemed to read Nakahara's heart, and continued: "Besides the funeral, there is another child's problem that I want everyone to solve together."

"..."

This is exactly the script that Weikang said!

How should Oda Sakunosuke deal with this child?

Could it be that he is only 20 years old and wants to be someone else's father?

Zhongyuan's head is full of these questions.

"That child's name is Natsume Takashi."

Oda Sakunosuke explained to Nakahara the ins and outs.

The last funeral he attended was that of the child's father, whose mother had died when the child was born.He was left alone when his father died.

The reason why he attended the funeral of Natsume's family that time was because he had a relationship with the woman's mother Natsume Reiko.When all relatives were notified to participate, the name of Oda Sakunosuke was also on the contact booklet of the Natsume family.But in fact, Natsume hadn't contacted Oda for half a time, and he didn't know how they knew Oda's address.

I heard that this information was left by Natsume Reiko.

He saw her once when he was very young, and in his impression she was a very temperamental and beautiful woman, but because of her eccentric personality, her relatives avoided her.At that time, she said something to herself. It was strange that he was so young next year, and he hadn't forgotten every word Natsume Reiko said until now.

she says--

"Zuo Zhizhu, you are born with evil spirits, and your life is short of blessings. Even if you live your whole life without disease or disaster, it will be difficult to live beyond the age of 24."

At that time, because of this sentence, she was driven away by her parents.

Afterwards, Oda Sakunosuke received an email from her.

It was a green leather pocketbook with "Book of Friends" written on it.

"Keep this book for me, and only give it to my grandchildren when they need it, or when they are 15 years old. In return for keeping this book, I will help you."

But before the book and letter were received, Natsume Reiko had passed away.

Later, when he settled down in Yokohama at the age of 14, he sent the book back, considering that the older sister of Natsume's family was already 15 years old.But after that funeral, the book was assigned to him as a relic, and he asked Natsume Takashi to give the account to Natsume when he was 15 years old.

……

Zhongyuan listened fascinated.

This Oda is obviously full of stories, and it has a mysterious and magical color.

The only thing that made him uncomfortable was the sentence that Oda Sakunosuke would not live to be 24 years old.

Although he doesn't believe in these divinations, he is somewhat indifferent.

Then their conversation returned to the purpose of inviting Oda to the funeral this time.

Natsume Takashi was taken away by one of their families last time, and several families have been removed in the past six months.After finally stabilizing, the old man who cared for Natsume Takashi the most is now lying in the coffin.The family began to say that they could not support themselves financially and could not raise another child, and hoped that someone would take this child away by the way.Of course, the letter was very euphemistic.

So this time, Oda Sakunosuke also planned to discuss with that family and offer to provide Natsume Takashi with living expenses so that the family can continue to support Natsume.If he hadn't met Akashi, he might have directly raised the five-year-old Natsume, but Akashi analyzed the pros and cons for him. With his living environment and work background, it is not suitable to raise young children.

Central Plains is also noncommittal.

He felt that Oda had actually alluded to Xiao Natsume's own life experience.

The funeral lasts for two days. On the first day, relatives and friends will stay together to pay their last respects to the deceased.The funeral is the next day, and the last farewell is said to the deceased, and the body is also cremated, which is called "farewell ceremony".

It seemed that everyone didn't want to bring oil bottles. There were not as many people at the funeral as expected, and some family members who had power to speak did not attend, just to maintain the relationship between relatives.

It was the first time for Nakahara to attend a funeral, and he followed Oda Sakunosuke closely.At the same time, he was also curious about what the rumored oil bottle Natsume Takashi looked like, but until the group meal, he did not see the child, and Oda was left alone in the hall by Oda who was going to chat with the host.

So Zhongyuan heard a lot of gossip talking about that child.

"Because of the dead father and dead mother, we also know that it is pitiful, but that child always lies and wants to gain attention, which is too annoying. It's really not that I don't want to raise it. The few in our family are enough to worry me."

"I understand, I understand! Oops! You have heard, right? He also likes to talk about dirty things, which is very scary. I am too timid to pick him up."

"I have no objection, but my family said that Natsume is too unlucky, so don't take it."

……

He was listening when suddenly the conversations of those people fell silent.The silence was eerie, just for a second, and all the words turned to the topic of the funeral.Immediately afterwards, in Nakahara Chuya's sight, a boy with light brown hair in a black shirt walked into the hall silently, without saying hello to anyone, kneeling and sitting alone in the room with the photo of the grandfather's portrait hanging .

Zhongyuan knew it, and that was what they called a "liar".

"..."

Zhong Yuan pursed his lips, wondering if he should talk to that child, but it was probably just a chance encounter, just a chance meeting.In the future, each other's lives will never intersect parallel lines.

At this time, there was the sound of dinner being served from the hostess' side, and the housewives sitting on the tatami chatting also set off to help.Seeing Oda approaching with a bad face, Zhongyuan asked, "What do you say?"

"Their family has a lot of debts, and taking Natsume with them will drag down innocent children." Oda paused and said, "The only solution is to send them 20 yen a month, so that they can barely support themselves I can give Natsume good food and drink. I can barely cope with my salary now, but I have to stop subsidizing Atsushi Nakajima’s tuition.”

The Central Plains did not understand this aspect either.

How much does it cost to raise a child?

What about debt payments?

Hearing the amount, he also frowned.

"I'll think of a way." Oda rubbed Nakahara's head, who was also troubled, and changed the subject, "Where's Natsume? Have you seen it? It's time to eat, but I haven't seen anyone." There were people running around Several children, but none of them are Natsume.

At the previous funeral, Oda only glanced at him from a distance, and he was a quiet and well-behaved child in his impression.

Zhongyuan pointed to the direction of the room and said, "It's in the mourning room."

So Oda stood up and went to find Natsume in the memorial room with Nakahara.

From the back view, the child looks very small, and seems to be even thinner than half a year ago.He was motionless looking at the portrait, as if he hadn't understood what death meant.Oda Sakunosuke seemed to see himself more than ten years ago, and his throat was slightly astringent, so he lowered his voice and called Natsume's name.

"Natsume, it's time to eat, come out..."

Natsume's body trembled in response to the sudden unfamiliar voice, and hastily bowed to the portrait before running away from the gap between Oda and Zhongyuan with his head down.

Natsume didn't want people to know that he was crying, because he was afraid of disturbing others by crying, so he kept covering his mouth tightly.After being called by Oda Sakunosuke's name, he immediately wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve under the guise of kneeling.

But a child is a child, and there are some details that he himself did not discover——

In the place where he stayed, the tatami mat had long been soaked with tears, and he couldn't hide it.

"..."

Both Oda and Nakahara felt their mouths were dry and their bodies felt uncomfortable.
