It was the happiest day she had ever been conscious.

At that time, she thought that having human feelings was the best thing in the world—but she didn't know that human feelings can change, and she didn't know that happiness is more rare than gold for human beings.

A week after her birthday, Maki meets a strange man.

That day she got a rare permission to go out - although Osamu Dazai protected her very well, but there are still many people who know the existence of Maki, even though Maki is stronger than all the people who stared at her life combined, But Osamu Dazai felt that it would be too troublesome if many people with completely different memories suddenly appeared in the world, so his warning to her was to avoid going out.

"If you can get down to killing them all, it's two different things," Osamu Dazai said, "Then the follow-up treatment will change from arranging so many unemployed people to throwing them in the graveyard—"

"No."

While tidying up the small schoolbags for traveling, Maki said: "It is already a very extraordinary thing for a book to have human emotions. If the book wants to obliterate human beings—"

She paused, thinking of the consequences of doing so, her face became a little ugly: "The consequences will be serious."

Osamu Dazai is certainly not ignorant of this.

So he was just joking.

Maki packed up everything - a lunch, a snack and a bottle of water and went out.The food outside is not safe, because someone may secretly poison it inside. As the daughter of the leader of Mafia at the port, she must be vigilant.

"Actually, many things outside are delicious."

The one who sent her out today was a new girl from Mafia, named Izumi Jinghua, who has a good relationship with Atsushi Nakajima. She said sadly: "I haven't eaten soup tofu for a long time."

"why?"

"Because most of the things sold outside are not safe," said Izumi Kyoka, "People in Yokohama don't have much opinion of the port Mafia anymore, unlike before."

Maki understood what she meant: "You mean, Yokohama people hate port Mafia?"

Quan Jinghua affirmed: "It can be said so."

Maki was silent.

She knew why this happened. Compared with the gentle methods of the previous leader, Osamu Dazai's governance was amazing--Maki didn't understand why he did this, Osamu Dazai was obviously such a smart person, if he wanted to, he would It can be done so that everyone has nothing to say to him.

Quan Jinghua sent her to a road not far away.

They walked on a small road, so ordinary passers-by would not be able to tell that Maki came from the port of Mafia, and would not give her any face.Quan Jinghua had heard that Zhenji didn't like people to follow when she came out to let the wind go, so she said "be careful all the way" and left first.

——Since Osamu Dazai dared to release Maki alone, it means that she must have the ability to protect herself, and Izumi Kyoka doesn't need to worry about these.

Maki walked aimlessly on the street.Since Osamu Dazai took office, Yokohama has not been as lively as before. People seem to be afraid of something all the time. Many people even left Yokohama and moved to inland cities.

But since Maki seldom goes out, I can't tell the difference.Could it be that it was a little strange, she saw a mother-in-law selling dumpling on the side of the road, and she was a little curious, but she remembered Quan Jinghua telling her not to eat outside, and finally controlled herself.

Although Maki doubted whether the human poison could poison the human body created by her book - but thinking that her body would also feel hungry, she finally did not dare to take the risk.

Her body is stronger than the average human body, so she won't feel tired after walking for a long time.I don't know how long it took, but when Maki felt a little hungry, she found herself standing in front of a huge iron gate.

Maki turned to look at the door plate.

This is a welfare home.

Maki knows that orphanages are used to accommodate children without relatives.If Osamu Dazai suddenly changed his mind after she had a human body and didn't want her to be his daughter, she might have to come to this place.

Maki thought, this is probably a sad place.

Probably because she stood in front of the door for too long, she caught the attention of a person inside the door.The man walked to the door, opened it, and asked him softly, "Little girl, what's the matter?"

Maki shook her head, but when she raised her eyes to see that person's face, she suddenly felt that this person looked familiar.Maki frowned and asked, "Where have I seen you before?"

The man looked at the light in his eyes with some complexity."Have you had lunch?" he asked.

Maki shook her head.

The person said, "Do you want to come in and eat together?"

Maki thought about it and agreed.The man took her to a not-so-big room, and found two boxes of instant noodles from the corner.

Maki raised his eyebrows and asked him, "You invite children who come here for the first time to eat instant noodles?"

The man smiled helplessly and said, "The economic situation here is not very good. I even have to do part-time jobs to support my children."

Maki let out a "huh", took out the bento she brought from her schoolbag, and said, "Then you should save some food."

The man froze for a moment, didn't say anything, put away one of the boxes of instant noodles, then used the boiling water beside him to flush into the remaining box of instant noodles.

The noodles were soaked, but he didn't eat them, he just asked Zhen Ji, "What's your name?"

"Maki."

"No surname?"

Maki shook her head.In current Yokohama, one cannot mention one's surname Dazai.Dazai is the only one in Yokohama now, and he is basically a public enemy now.

She swayed her legs slowly while eating the bento.

The man stared at her silently for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Have you heard of the port Mafia?"

Maki looked at him warily: "Why are you asking me this question?"

The man's eyes became a little far away: "I just want to hear what the children of today think of the port Mafia."

Maki reminded him: "This is an orphanage."

——And there are many, many children in the orphanage.

The man laughed and said, "But they haven't left this place since they grew up, and they don't know that there is an organization called Port Mafia in the world."

Maki understood a little.

Children in orphanages are like lambs raised in captivity.

She thought for a while and said, "People in Yokohama don't seem to like Port Mafia very much. They are afraid of people in this place. If someone knows that someone is from Port Mafia, they will close the windows and doors when he passes by. "

"It sounds a lot more serious than before."

Maki asked, "Do you know what the former port of Mafia looked like?"

The man nodded and said, "It couldn't be more clear."

He paused. "What about you? What do you think Port Mafia is like?"

Maki tilted his head and said, "I think it's not bad."

They will prepare birthday presents for her and take her to play. Although they are all demons in the eyes of outsiders, to Maki, they are all a group of lovely people.

Maki finished her bento in silence, then pointed to the box of instant noodles that had been forgotten for a long time and said, "It's going to rot."

"Have you eaten."

The man looked at his empty lunch box and said, "Is it time to leave?"

I don't know if it's Maki's illusion, but the person in front of me doesn't seem to want to stay with her for a long time.Not because she doesn't like her, but because she seems to understand things that remind him he doesn't want to.

Maki is an empathetic book.So she packed her lunch box and said, "Then I'm leaving."

The man took her out of the room, and Zhenji saw a group of children playing on the way.Most of them had some kind of deformity—one girl was missing an arm, and another boy had strange lips, like a three-lobed rabbit.

Seeing Zhen Ji, a complete and healthy child, they were a little surprised, and they came up and asked, "Who is Uncle Dean?"

"He is the child of an old friend of mine." The dean was silent for a few seconds and said.

Maki turned her head sharply, staring at him blankly.

The dean smiled at her and said, "You look very similar to Mr. Dazai."

He mentioned Dazai Osamu like an elder.

Then Maki suddenly knew who the person in front of him was.

Mori Ogai, the leader of Port Mafia.

She opened her mouth and almost blurted out the name—fortunately, he realized it in time and swallowed it back.

Maki hesitated for a while, then took out the rest of the snacks from his schoolbag and distributed them to the group of children.The children ran away happily.

Maki looked at him complicatedly and said, "Then I'll go first. Thank you, Dean, sir."

She didn't call him by his real name.

Because I know better than anyone else that Mori Ogai is a person who cannot live in the world.

On the way home, it rained heavily.

When she returned to the Mafia building in the port, Maki was soaked all over her body. She thought that there would be no problem with her body.Unexpectedly, she developed a high fever the next night.
