I'm not really evil

Oda Sakunosuke had been paying attention to the small figure on the river bank for some time.

When he was about to get off work this afternoon, he was entrusted with a dirty job by his colleagues, and he needed to go to a remote and dangerous place to recover the corpse.

That place is called Radium Bowl Street, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a slum in Yokohama, but there are many dangerous elements from the bottom of the society with complex composition gathered in it, and it eventually became a place that even the port mafia would not want to be involved in.Most of the people there are crazy like wild dogs, and they will do anything to survive.

But for Oda Sakunosuke, this place is not too dangerous.The entrustment of his colleagues and the overtime compensation made it easy for him to accept this troublesome task.

The people on Radium Bowl Street were more manic than expected, and it took a while to find the corpse. When Oda Sakunosuke walked out of Radium Bowl Street with the body bag on his shoulders, the sky was already getting dark.He stopped and looked towards the lawn by the river, where there was a strange little girl sitting on it.

She is still very young, about five or six years old, her young body is wrapped in a strange red robe, only the small white hands and feet like buds are exposed, and the soft crow hair is spread out on her back, with a kind of Messy and wanton look.

Because she was facing the river, Oda Sakunosuke could only see the little girl's side face.I don't know what was smeared on that small face, it was a little dirty, and I couldn't see the facial features clearly.But those pale pink eyes facing the sun are really shining like gems, giving people the illusion that she is expensive at a glance.

Oda Sakunosuke was a little worried.This place is too close to the slums, and once someone notices her, these rare eyes are likely to bring her disaster.

He originally wanted to go up to talk to him, but he hesitated when he saw how he was carrying the sack at the moment.

Even without common sense, he knew that corpses should not appear in the innocent eyes of children.

The location of the little girl was fairly hidden, so Oda Sakunosuke stood there watching for a while, then quickened his pace and left.

He finished his work with the fastest speed, then said goodbye to his colleagues' gratitude, and ran back to the place just now.

The little girl was still sitting there quietly, which relieved Oda Sakunosuke.

After getting closer, he realized that the girl might be smaller than he had imagined. A pair of pink rose-like eyes stared at the river ahead, but her eyes were filled with chaos. She was motionless and did not speak, like a lifeless beautiful puppet.

Oda Sakunosuke walked over and sat beside the girl, thinking about how to start the conversation.

He is a man who is not good at talking. If there is no external force to break the deadlock, he might sit here with the little girl for a whole night.

But just as he was thinking this way, the young girl next to him suddenly murmured softly like snow: "It's so noisy."

Oda Sakunosuke looked around suspiciously.The surrounding area is very quiet, except for the sound of the river flowing by, and the occasional splash of fish jumping out of the river, there seems to be no other noises.

"It hurts so much." The young girl continued to sigh lightly.Her voice was soft and thin, with no strength at all. When she spoke, her eyes looked at the air in front of her, and she didn't seem to need any response.

If someone else was here, maybe they would just think it was a child's raving, or a lie to win the attention of an adult.

But Oda Sakunosuke's expression suddenly became serious.

He lightly stroked the girl's messy black hair, and asked seriously, "Where does it hurt? Are you going to the hospital?"

Because of his actions, the girl turned her head to look at him for the first time, and the figure of the young man was reflected in those rose jewel-like pupils.

There was something creepy in those empty eyes.

At that moment, Oda Sakunosuke's intuition as a former top killer felt the danger of extinction, and some kind of irresistible fear like ordinary people facing an avalanche or an earthquake briefly lifted his mind.

"Who are you?" The girl looked at him and asked curiously.Her voice is like soft snow, and like a dandelion fluttering in the wind, it will disperse in the wind.

"My name is Oda Sakunosuke." Oda Sakunosuke was silent for a while, and with the willpower to suppress the instinctive fear, he answered seriously.His supernatural ability [Seamless Clothes] didn't foresee danger, and he didn't think the girl had any malice towards him.On the contrary, he seemed to hear a desperate cry for help from the fragile and suppressed voice of this little girl.

So, he asked again: "Where is it uncomfortable?"

The little girl replied: "There are some emotional residues. Because I don't want to disappear, I am struggling and resisting."

"Where are you struggling?" Oda Sakunosuke was a little puzzled.

Little girl: "In my head."

Oda Sakunosuke: "That's right, no wonder you are in pain."

The little girl nodded.

After going through a conversation that was full of holes in the eyes of others, it seemed to be very interesting, and the young girl's eyes lighted up a little.

Oda Sakunosuke already had a guess in his heart, the child in front of him might be a rare psychic supernatural power user.And this strange dress doesn't look like a child from an ordinary family, but rather like someone who escaped from an underground laboratory.

"If there is no place to go, would you like to follow me first?" He asked bluntly.It's not that the troubles that this girl may have behind her are unexpected, but Oda Sakunosuke can't let the foreseeable tragedy go.A quiet and lovely child like her obviously still has a good time, so she really shouldn't wither prematurely in the darkness.

In the 3-minute conversation and meeting up to now, facing a little girl who can actually bring a lot of mental pressure to people, perhaps only Oda Sakunosuke still treats her as a young victimized child.

It was also because of this that the moment he reached out his hand, the little girl put her little hand on it.

Seeing the little girl's little feet curled up under the robe, Oda Sakunosuke didn't intend to let her walk barefoot, and gently pulled along the little hand, and hugged the little guy in his arms.

"Go buy you a new suit first, and then go to dinner." His voice was steady, and the content of his speech was very homely, "Today I made a lot of extra money, and I just used it to buy you a skirt."

"En." The little girl casually put her arms around his neck.She was wearing nothing but an empty red robe, but her expression was extraordinarily open, as pure as a newborn child.

"By the way, what's your name?" In the night wind, came the young man's calm and gentle voice.

"Name... name... I don't remember." The little girl was silent for a long time, and said in a strange tone, "No, yes, it was taken away."

The noisy voice that had been hovering in her mind seemed to be magnified ten times and a hundred times in an instant. The pain and irritability made her a little out of control, and her eyes narrowed dangerously.

But the body of the young man held in his hands had a warm heat, a palm rested on her back comfortingly, and the faint smell of tobacco lingered in her ears, somehow, she unexpectedly did not want to be hurt.

Oda Sakunosuke has a keen sense. He can intuitively judge the strength of her supernatural ability from the emotional changes of the little girl and the mental pressure around her. For a child of this age, it is really too strong.

He didn't know what the child had gone through in the past to get to the point where even his name was taken away, so he just said in a soft voice, "If you can't remember it, how about a new name."

The night was getting darker and darker. They walked along the deserted riverside, and the gentle slope lawn gradually lit up with bits and pieces of light.Against the moonlight above their heads and the flowing sparkling water, they seemed to be walking at the other end of a dreamlike world.

"What name?" The child in his arms raised his head and stared at him.Those cold little hands were still wrapped around his neck, the temperature was extremely low, and he didn't look like a living person at all.A pair of emotionless eyes, dyed with a faint silver glow under the moonlight, a very special six-shot starlight emerges from the bottom of the eyes, making these eyes, compared to human visual organs, more like rare and precious gems.

Maybe it is really a gem inlaid the day after tomorrow.

Oda Sakunosuke touched the girl's eyes, his face sank a bit.

"Firefly. How is it?" Facing the girl's expectant eyes, Oda Sakunosuke thought for a long time, looked at the fireflies around him, and blurted out.

The girl looked at him and nodded indifferently.

I was still a child, although there was still an expression of indifference that I didn't care about on the delicate and delicate face, but the pair of eyes that suddenly became bright had already explained everything.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't notice the slight changes in the child, and led her into a commercial street from a deserted river bank.

Yokohama is a magical place that has been tried and tested by citizens. The shopping guide of the clothing store did not show any strange expression when he saw a tall young man walking in with a strangely dressed child in his arms. Instead, he showed a professional smile and matched the clothes for the child. He also took her to the dressing room to get dressed.

During the period, it was discovered that the little girl had no underwear, and she came out to help and bought two sets from another store.

By the time Hotaru was led from the dressing room to Oda Sakunosuke, she had a completely new look.

A Lolita-style dress with black and blue plaid, round-toed red leather shoes, and a cute rabbit satchel as a bonus.

The firefly-colored long hair was combed softly, and two strands were braided into thin braids and fixed behind the head from diamond hairpins, revealing a tender and delicate face. She stood under the bright lights of the children's clothing store with an indifferent expression, and she was wearing a sack like before. The red robe was as calm as ever, but its overly delicate appearance and attire attracted the eyes of all adults and children in the store.

Seeing the two little boys break through their parents' block and rush directly in front of Hotaru to offer their courtesies, Oda Sakunosuke frowned and stepped forward to stop them.

"Sir, are you satisfied with this suit?" The shopping guide happened to interject at this time, her smile was very attentive, "This set of Starry Sky Sea is the treasure of our store, and it was designed by an internationally renowned designer. This is the first time I have seen a child who fits this suit like this little lady."

Oda Sakunosuke looked at Hotaru who had a cold and heartless face, completely ignoring the conversations of the children around him, and couldn't say anything dissatisfied at all.

only--

Seeing the little T-shirts and trousers worn by the boys in the store, and the cute floral dresses worn by the girls, Oda Sakunosuke couldn't help but ask, "Why do you feel that the clothes worn by other children are different from Hotaru's?"

One side is the children's daily play clothes, and the other side seems to be going to a palace banquet. There are completely two styles of painting!

"What are you talking about?" The shopping guide showed a subtle expression of disapproval, "Don't you think it is a kind of abuse for this noble young lady to wear cheap and low-quality ordinary clothes?"

A parent next to him accidentally heard this sentence and showed a shocked expression—did the shopping guide lady say something extremely rude to her store just now.

Oda Sakunosuke: "...Oh."

He is a man who can't complain. After hearing what the shopping guide said, he looked back at Yingying and felt that what she said was quite reasonable.

The little girl surrounded by children does have an aura that is incompatible with the children around her.Maybe it was because of being irritated by the noise, those pink rose-like eyes drooped sleepily, and the brows were slightly wrinkled. Against the backdrop of the complicated black dress, she looked gorgeous and slightly dejected, with an unspeakable feeling. Unique beauty.Even though she showed the most obvious dislike, there are still many children and even adults who want to get close to her.

"If this little lady is willing to cooperate with our store to take some photos, I can apply for the maximum discount. How about a [-]% discount?" Seeing that Oda Sakunosuke was silent, he couldn't help but misunderstand, and said with flickering eyes.

"Oda Sakunosuke." At this time, a light voice came, a voice as quiet as falling snow, but Oda Sakunosuke heard it perfectly.This was the first time Firefly called him by his name.

Oda Sakunosuke immediately looked at Hotaru, and the little girl surrounded by the crowd stretched out her hand towards him as if no one was there.

The little hands are wrapped in lace cuffs, with only a little fingertips exposed, looking like spring buds protruding from the branches, tender and lovely.

Oda Sakunosuke walked over quickly, picked her up, and let the little guy sit in his arms.

"No need." He turned his head and said to the shopping guide, rejected her invitation, then took out his wallet, "Pay the bill."

After walking out of the children's clothing store, Oda Sakunosuke looked at the empty wallet and fell silent.Not to mention today's extra money, his salary from last month is gone.

Holding the little girl who was as light as cotton candy in his arms, the young man had a new understanding in his heart.

Raising children is expensive.
