I died after raising them

After the child's birthday passed, Yayoi waited for Natsume Soseki's visit.

The legendary psychic did not specify the time of arrival in the greeting card, so Yayoi kept making Asakura Kiyokazu ready to receive guests.

But Yayoi didn't see this gentleman until the spring flowers were swaying and blooming.

On a rare holiday without work, Yayoi sat in the garden drinking afternoon tea. From her position, if she turned her head, she could see the teacher teaching in the living room and Mori Ogai who was studying hard through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Children are born to be learning material, no matter what kind of knowledge they can absorb and digest in a short period of time, and ask the teacher by analogy, the progress of learning amazes the teachers who teach.

Looking back, Yayoi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of black tea into an unused cup, and placed it in front of the empty seat opposite her.

When the visitor saw Yayoi's movements, he knew that Yayoi had spotted him, so he didn't continue to cover up his whereabouts. He stretched his body and jumped down from the wall. After turning into a human figure in a place invisible to the living room, Shi Shiran sat down. The opposite of Yayoi.

Yayoi smiled and said, "Good day, Mr. Natsume."

The man put the hat and cane aside, looked at the girl who didn't fluctuate at all, and his eyes flashed with appreciation: "If it was me a year ago, I would never have thought that the leader of the port mafia was so young. "

A year ago, the Port Mafia was an organization with huge influence in Yokohama, but no one, including the officials, knew who the leader of this organization was.

It wasn't until Yayoi Asahina revealed the news that everyone discovered that the leader of such an organization was actually such a young girl.

Such an achievement at the age of 17...you can imagine what the future holds.

Natsume Soseki thought with a sigh.

And such a person...is the key?

Yayoi, who was forced into this world by the system only a year ago, did not answer directly: "You are welcome."

The main god, who hadn't appeared in Yayoi's mind for a long time, seemed to notice something, and suddenly appeared: [This man is related to the laws of the world. ]

[Is it related to the law? ] Yayoi asked back, the figure of the great onmyoji flashed across his mind for an instant.

The Lord God did not answer.

So Yayoi narrowed her eyes and put down the teacup, her expression gradually became indifferent: "You came here specially to look for me, did you notice something?"

The Lord God once said that the worlds that issue urgent missions are all worlds that have problems.

If there is a problem, it must be solved, so the Lord God issued an urgent task.

This world is no exception.

Collecting the strong emotions of the children of the world and converting them into energy to repair the world through the main god, this is what Yayoi should do in this world.

And if Natsume Soseki has a connection with the law, he must be able to detect that the world is changing.

Natsume Soseki's words also confirmed Yayoi's thoughts.

"The world itself is made up of two types of people, that is, ordinary people and people with supernatural powers."

"People with supernatural powers have been regarded as heterogeneous existences in history. They are rare in number but possess great power."

"But I don't know when, the number of people with supernatural abilities has increased, but their abilities have become weaker and weaker."

"Thousands of years ago, there was hardly a single person with supernatural powers in Japan, but now just looking at Yokohama under your feet, countless people with supernatural abilities are gathering again."

The man looked at the ripples in the teacup, and said in a low voice, "Although you may find it unbelievable to say this, I clearly feel it..."

"—the world is slowly weakening."

"And I came to you because you are different from everyone else in this world."

At the moment when he saw the girl, Natsume Soseki had only one feeling.

That's the exception.

The flowers around are normal, the desks and chairs are normal, and the children and teachers studying in the room are normal.

Only the girl in front of her seemed to be out of tune with this world, being accepted by the world but not integrated into it.

really.

Yayoi confirmed her thoughts.

If the protagonist is the darling of the world, Natsume Soseki is the representative appointed by the world.

Although as a creation, he cannot communicate directly with the world, but the world can give him a premonition.

Yayoi asked the main god: [Lord god, if I tell Natsume Soseki about the main god's space, will you deduct my points? ]

The main god only answered four words: [deducted as appropriate. ]

That is, it will not deduct much.

Natsume Soseki suddenly saw the corner of the girl's lips curled up in front of her.

"Would you like to hear a story?"

Yayoi asked.

What belongs to her also belongs to the stories of countless companions who have survived in the infinite space.

As if having a premonition, the child who was supposed to be listening carefully turned his head to look at the garden.

But Mori Ogai only saw the Sanhuamao who appeared at some unknown time, and Yayoi who was smiling back at him.

The conversation with Natsume Soseki that day seemed to have changed nothing.

Yayoi continued to repeat her life filled with work and children, and the power of the port mafia was also expanding outwards under manipulation, finally consolidating the frightening position in the inner world.

Mori Ogai grew up slowly, and Yayoi sent the child to school after confirming that the child had a certain ability to protect himself, and became Fukuzawa Yukichi's junior.

Of course, one is in the middle school and one is in the primary school.

At the same time, because of Yayoi's request, the two children gradually became familiar with each other. As the older brother, Fukuzawa Yukichi would also take care of him when Yayoi was not free to pick up the children and send Mori Ogai home.

Back and forth, during the holidays, Yayoi can often see the figure of the silver-gray half-long-haired boy studying with the children at home.

For this reason, Yayoi even approached Fukuzawa Hyakusuke, thanked Fukuzawa Yukichi gently for taking care of her children, and hoped that the adult's affairs would not affect the children's feelings.

After Yayoi promised to protect the safety of Fukuzawa Yukichi, Fukuzawa Hyakusuke agreed after thinking about it.

The relationship between the government and the port mafia is harmonious now. If he doesn't want to tear himself apart from the government, the gang leader in Hong Kong will not do anything to him and his children.

But neither Yayoi nor Fukuzawa Hyakusuke expected it, because their undisguised relationship made the government put Fukuzawa Hyakusuke into the newly established Supernatural Affairs Division under consideration.

Speaking of Fukuzawa Yukichi, if he was not destined to start an armed detective agency, Yayoi would have wanted to drag him into Hong Kong.

Yayoi has always known that Fukuzawa Yukichi's talent in swordsmanship is unparalleled, but after a spur-of-the-moment sparring one day, she realized that the boy had grown to the point where she needed to take it seriously.

For Fukuzawa Yukichi, Yayoi imparted his own experience to him without hesitation, and Fukuzawa Yukichi did not disappoint her expectations, and his strength in kendo was gradually equal to her.

When Yayoi smiled and said to the boy that he no longer needed her to teach his abilities, the boy respected Yayoi seriously.

Only then did Yayoi suddenly realize that Fukuzawa Yukichi had recognized her as his master along the way of kendo.

Master and apprentice are like father and son. For Fukuzawa Yukichi, although he still calls Yayoi his elder sister, in his heart, Yayoi has become a person whom he needs to respect just like his father.

This peaceful day lasted for a long time, until the child was promoted to junior high school, until Fukuzawa Yukichi was admitted to a university in Tokyo, and until Fukuzawa Hyakusuke successfully stabilized his position at the top of the government.Just when Yayoi thought that this peaceful day could last for a while, the sudden increase of 30.00% made her wake up from this false tranquility.

When Yayoi wanted to ask about the main god, it suddenly rained heavily outside the window.

The moon was covered by dark clouds, and the fine rain accompanied by lightning was completely invisible under the night.

Yayoi felt uneasy, and walked out of the bedroom to see if her child was awakened by the thunder.

But before she went to Mori Ogai's room, Yayoi heard a knock on the door first.

The knock on the door fluctuated louder and softer, and Yayoi walked downstairs, she relaxed her vigilance when she felt the familiar atmosphere outside the door, but the uneasiness in her heart became more and more obvious.

Yayoi opened the door.

A thunderbolt just fell, illuminating the pale face of the young man in front of him.

Fukuzawa Yukichi, whose hair was still dripping all over his body, had no expression on his usually serious face at this moment. When he saw the door open, he fixed his gaze on the girl in front of him stiffly.

I don't know whether it's tears or raindrops of warm water slid down the side of the boy's face and landed on Yayoi's neck.

Yayoi clenched the fingers holding the handle for an instant, then slowly loosened it, and stretched out her arms to hug the boy.

The boy's back was broad, but Yayoi could feel the fine trembling under his hands.

"Miss Yayoi."

The boy's voice was choked and hoarse: "I'm going to let you down."

[Lord God...]

[Fukuzawa Hyakusuke was killed by a government hitman, disguised as a car accident. ] The main god explained lightly: [But Fukuzawa Baisuke left a message for Fukuzawa Yukichi, so Fukuzawa Yukichi knew the truth. ]

Yayoi's face was blank for a moment.

All she felt was a big hand grabbing her lungs, preventing her from getting oxygen.

She couldn't think of why Fukuzawa Hyakusuke would be obliterated by the top.

Although Fukuzawa Hyakusuke has always been feared by the higher-ups because of his relationship with her, if it was because of this, Fukuzawa Hyakusuke would not have successfully squeezed into the upper class.

[Don't think too much, even if you don't meet, Fukuzawa Hyakusuke will die. ]

[After all, only his death can make Fukuzawa Yukichi make up his mind to join the government and become a "Silver Wolf". ]

[This is Fukuzawa Yukichi's fixed destiny as a child of the world, and no one can change it. ]

Yayoi only felt a lump in his throat.

But she can't do anything now.

The only thing she can do now is hug the boy in front of her and say, "You won't let me down."

"Just do whatever you want."

The boy's hands became more and more forceful, causing Yayoi's shoulders to ache.

But Yayoi did not resist, watching the boy slowly let go of his hand, and finally walked into the rainstorm without looking back.
