For children who have no autonomy, what their fate will become may really only depend on what environment they are in and what kind of people they meet.

very difficult.Destiny—that's not something you can rebel against if you want to.

At least Atsushi Nakajima couldn't resist.

He grew up in an orphanage, and he lived in that cold and impersonal place from the beginning of his memory.

All actions must be obeyed by the dean and teachers, as long as they are dominated, they don't need to have their own will.The names are basically not called by people, only the numbers assigned to them can be heard.In an orphanage without a clock, follow the rules with the sound of sirens.If you do something wrong, you will be beaten and punished... There are also children who are also orphans who are framed in order to fight for their own interests.

After all, Atsushi Nakajima has always been an unlikable kid.

Nobody listened to what he explained, he was always the one who got punished the most.

Crying is not allowed, nor is there any sympathy.

But if he can't escape, if he runs out, he will just end up on the street and starve to death. After all, he is so useless... He doesn't even have the courage to escape from hell.

For the world beyond that orphanage.He who has lived for 13 years... seems to have never dared to think about it.

Needless to say, Miss Truth who saved him from hell... Mr. Nakaya is also a very kind and nice person.

Those two were very close and intimate, an enviable relationship.

He had never seen such a way of getting along with each other, he probably only saw something similar in books when he was secretly studying in the library of the orphanage.

After eating, Mr. Nakaya put on a handsome suit over his white shirt, as if he was going to work.However, that suit is indeed not like the dressing style of ordinary office workers.

And Miss Truth sent him to the door, leaned over and kissed his cheek, and then he gently rubbed the top of his hair.

"Mr. Chuya and Ms. Maru... are they husband and wife?"

Hearing his curious question, the two people standing at the door were stunned for a second, and then they laughed out loud at the same time.

Miss Truth covered her mouth and turned her head away, while Mr. Chuya raised his eyebrows, as if he praised his words very much.

"Ha, not bad, you little guy is quite discerning." The cobalt blue eyes were a little smug, "Not yet, but it will be later."

Atsushi Nakajima blinked, he seemed to be praised...?

For the first time in my life, I was praised.It turned out to be because of this, he would never have imagined it.

The outside world is really amazing.

"...Miss Truth has nothing else to do?" Afterwards, when there were only the two of them left, Dun asked in a low voice.

Being alone with the person who saved him, he was still somewhat nervous.

"I'm fine today, so why don't you take Dunjun out?" the red-haired girl said to him with a smile.

"Eh?! Can you?"

"Of course, you will also live in this city in the future."

after.

That's a beautiful word.

This city is prosperous and beautiful. Now he is wearing neat clothes and walking on the street without suffering from hunger, and no one on the street will look at him with strange eyes. All this is thanks to the girl next to him.

But why?Although he prayed and was indeed saved, he never expected to be treated so tenderly all the time.

It is a very good thing to be treated like this.

All along, Dun wanted to live.Even in the face of various tortures, he still struggled and survived.

However, those words of the dean have always haunted him, and no matter how much he tried to escape, he could not shake off or escape.

A person like him... He is such a useless person... He has no value in living, so naturally he doesn't deserve to be treated like this by such a gentle person.

"People like me...have no value in being treated so tenderly by Miss Truth."

"Don't say such things." The red-haired girl interrupted him with a smile.

"...?"

"No matter what kind of person, even if they are too weak to be vulnerable at the beginning and can only be controlled by others, they must get up in the mud and become strong. Because under normal circumstances, no one will come to rescue you. If you want to live well, you must master the power in your own hands."

The red-haired girl who walked beside him with a friendly aura seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and spoke harsh words with a gentle smile.

"I'm not the god or angel you imagined. I didn't appear in front of you because of sudden fate. It must have a purpose. Of course, I brought you back because you have different values... But, That may not be a good thing for you, maybe at your current age, living under the protection of an orphanage would be better for you."

"... Am I really worth anything?! As long as Miss Truth tells me, I will do anything!"

Truth originally thought that what he said would scare Dun, but unexpectedly the child's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he had been endowed with some important meaning.Then, ignore the second half of her speech completely.

Ah, from the perspective of this child, there is probably no place more terrifying than an orphanage...

but.

Forgotten by him, he killed Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.And what he didn't know, the abuse of him by the director of the orphanage was actually an overprotective means.

These facts were also terrifying to him.

Truth lowered her eyes and pinched her chin thoughtfully.

……

"Speaking of which, Miss Truth... what do you do? Are you a student?"

"Eh? No." Truth laughed out loud, "Why do you think so?"

"People of this age should be in school, and Ms. Mari is still very young... Ah, but Mr. Nakaya has already started working."

"Yeah, Zhong is also a miserable social animal." Truth nodded.

The two were walking on the streets of Yokohama. Truth didn't answer Dun's question, but just smiled mysteriously and let him guess casually.

Dun recounted the identities and occupations he could think of, but he couldn't guess any of them. He was a little frustrated.

Later, they met a steady-looking man with brick-red hair on the street, who should be Miss Truth's acquaintance.

The man named Sakunosuke Oda joined their team because Miss Mari said she wanted to stop by to see the five children raised by that man.

What a good man, that gentleman actually adopted five orphans.Dun sighed in his heart.Sure enough, the people around Miss Truth are gentle and kind people.

They came to a curry shop.

The children living upstairs are very lively and lovely, and they can play with Dun, who is also an orphan.

However, I just don't know why one of the children's dreams is to become a mafia... Mafia, I have only heard of it but never seen it, but they should be the kind of extremely cruel people who can scare children into tears?

Lunch was settled in the store. Truth tried the super spicy curry that Sakunosuke Oda was eating with great interest, and then she was so hot that her little face flushed, but she thought it was quite delicious...

"Speaking of which, Mr. Oda, how is your writing going?" Truth asked expectantly after taking a sip of water.

Although Truth has been trying to ignore it in order not to let himself out of the play-in other worlds, people with the same name and surname as the people around him are all writers' settings.But since there is someone who wants to create on her own initiative, it is hard for her not to pay attention.

"Eh? Is Mr. Oda a family? That's amazing!" Atsushi asked in surprise.

"That's right, super awesome? Mr. Oda, how about I set up a publishing house for you when you finish writing?" The young lady made a speech like wasting money indifferently.

"..."

Even Odasaku, who was as calm as Oda, was a little dazed, and he didn't have a chance to intervene to argue.Ever since Truth knew from Dazai that his ideal was to write, he had expected too much from him.As a normal person, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

After all, before.Facing his question, the girl said something very inexplicable.

"Mr. Oda will definitely save the Japanese literary world. After all, everyone is concentrating on black people. It's really great to have you here."

Oda: "...?" To save the Japanese literary world?I don't think I can.

……

It was almost dusk when we got back.

Dun and Truth passed by the place near the port.

The sea not far away is very beautiful, and the sea level is illuminated by the setting sun and coated with a layer of golden light.

"How about it, Yokohama is beautiful?"

"Ah, yes!"

From Aton's point of view, the city of Yokohama is very beautiful, with the prosperity of a metropolis and the beautiful scenery unique to a port city.People also live and work in peace and contentment, and the surrounding environment feels very peaceful after a day of shopping.

But... probably in the next second.

His cognition was shattered.

It happened so suddenly that he couldn't react.

A man with a gun and wounds rushed in front of them.He seemed to be at the end of his rope, and his face was full of panic.When he saw them, he subconsciously fired a few shots indiscriminately.

Time seemed to slow down.

Atsushi Nakajima watched in horror as the bullet flew towards their position.

Are you going to die?Will his life end here?

—he couldn't help thinking that.

...Maybe this is his retribution for wanting to escape from that hell without authorization?

But... no, at least I don't want Miss Truth who saved me to die like that.

He subconsciously stood in front of the opponent and closed his eyes tightly.

But the imaginary god of death did not come, a warm hand touched the top of his hair, and a gentle voice came from his ear.

"Don't be afraid." The girl said to him like that.

When Dun opened his eyes again, the man opposite him had already emptied all the bullets in his gun.

When he didn't see it.Those bullets were all cut off by the red-haired girl standing in place with a short knife at a speed that is not human-like.

In the end, completely ignoring the monster-like gaze of the man opposite, Truth lowered her head to talk to Atsushi, ignoring his subsequent escape.

"Why would you want to stop a bullet?" Truth asked.

"...Because the dean once said... Those who cannot protect others have no value in living."

Dun lowered his eyes, his legs were still trembling, his eyes were blank, and he replied subconsciously.Afterwards, he heard the truth and sighed.

"No, you didn't act because of what the dean said just now. You did that because you wanted to save me. This kind of behavior is commendable-but remember, you only need to protect me first. Your own life is enough, because you are still very weak, and protecting others is something you can only do after you become a strong person. And...whether it is saving people or killing people, you have to rely on your own will just like before, Don’t be controlled by other things to do it. Dun, people have to live for themselves, and that is the greatest meaning of living.”

By my own will...to live for myself.No one had ever said that to him.

Whether saving lives or killing people...?

The words have brought shock, but why can Miss Truth say such words?How were those bullets interrupted just now?

Soon, he understood.

Truth took him a little further into the port.

Don knows.

His cognition was shattered too many times during the day.

First of all, he shouldn't think Yokohama is a beautiful and peaceful city, because people with guns will call at will.

Secondly, Mr. Nakaya, who he thought was kind to others before, was maintaining a fierce expression, and just stepped a person into the ground.

Yes, in the ground.

There was a huge noise, the entire ground was cracked, and the big pit suddenly collapsed, and humans were trapped in it.Mr. Chuya's expression is no different from that of trampling an ant to death.

Don was dumbfounded, then looked sideways stiffly.Miss Truth's expression was of course very calm.

Seemingly not expecting their arrival, Mr. Chuya raised his eyebrows in surprise, "It's you."

"Another mouse without eyes?" asked Miss Truth.

"Ah, there is a group of people with supernatural powers who entered the country illegally, and they have just been eliminated." Mr. Nakaya replied.

At this moment, another group of black-clothed men who clearly fit the mafia's murderous temperament came running, and suddenly bowed deeply in their direction.

The leader said with a fearful expression: "Miss... the body of the person who attacked you just now is over there. I'm very sorry! That's the fish that we neglected before."

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

...Is this the strong one?

The author has something to say:

Although it is said that Dazai will bring up crooked children, the truth itself is not raising children normally.She can only use her own experience to teach others.This dun dun will probably be between black and white in the future (hey)
