I died after raising them

Sawada Nana cordially invited Yayoi to stay for dinner, Yayoi looked at the child's shining eyes, hesitated for a while but agreed.

As the leader, Yayoi Asahina's actions have always attracted attention.

Since she wanted to bring the child with her, Nana Sawada's safety was also necessary.

Yayoi himself stayed here for a long time, which was originally an act of putting the Sawada family into the protection circle.

What's more, Sawada Nana is the wife of Sawada Iemitsu.

The lover of the consultant outside Vengley's door.

It may be because he returned to his familiar home, Kotsunayoshi was more relaxed and lively than usual. When Nana Sawada was sorting out the things Yayoi brought, she smiled and lay on Yayoi's lap, and took out a bag from Yayoi's wide suit pocket. A lollipop.

Yayoi squeezed the child's face, and said threateningly: "I just finished eating a bar of chocolate in the car, didn't you just tell me about the toothache a few days ago?"

The child whose face was pinched muttered vaguely: "But it won't hurt now."

"You'll hurt after eating."

Yayoi took away the lollipop that Tsunayoshi was holding. Hearing the movement, Nana Sawada turned to look at them, and saw Yayoi took out various candies from her pocket and put them into the snack box on the living room table. middle.

And Kokichi pouted, pulling Yayoi to please her, trying to win the right to eat snacks.

Seeing this scene, Sawada Nana couldn't help but smile.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed girl doesn't look like a little girl who can eat such childish snacks, so it seems that the only reason why she can fill her pockets with snacks is her own children.

Sawada Nana originally thought that Yayoi took in the lost Tsunayoshi, at most she would take care of her as a friend's child.

But after seeing this scene and seeing the daily necessities that Yayoi packed for the child during this time, Sawada Nana realized that Yayoi treated Tsunayoshi better than she imagined.

It's even too good to be true.

Such a gentle and kind child, if Tsuna Ji likes it, it doesn't matter if he gets in touch with him more.

After all, Yayoi can be regarded as the first outsider that his own children come into contact with.

In this small town of Namori, Tsunayoshi Sawada has a certain reputation among the children.

Not a good name, of course.

Children's good and evil are superficial, unlike adults who are restrained and considerate of others.

Maybe they really wanted to play with Tsunayoshi Sawada at first.

But later, playing games always hurts, even the cute Chihuahua will be scared, and the reputation of "Waste Chai Gang" who can fall on the ground while walking is also spread from the mouths of these children.

Therefore, Xiao Gangji, who was excluded by the children, was reluctant to go out to play.

This time Ah Gang's disappearance, I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Nana Sawada looked away.

After sending the child back to Binsheng, Yayoi who returned to Hong Kong Hei suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

how to say.

For so many years, there will always be people around her. When she gets up in the morning, someone will sit in front of her and have breakfast.

When Mori Ogai left, Sawada Tsunayoshi was just sent to her side, so she didn't feel lonely for a while, but after she even sent Xiaozunayoshi back, this feeling doubled in her The bottom of my heart is in chaos.

But fortunately, Sawada Nana would let Sawada Tsunayoshi come to live with her for a period of time every few days, and Yayoi also took advantage of these scattered time to let the children exercise.

The children will be sent over tomorrow morning, so we have to prepare in advance.

Yayoi raised her head from the document, frowned and pressed on her aching stomach, and looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

— Seven o'clock in the evening.

This timing is actually very delicate.

After dinner and before going to bed, it happens to be the time when most of the students are free.

And Yayoi, who knows the habits of his own children, naturally knows that this is Mori Ogai's daily reading time.

She took out her phone, hesitated for a long time, and called the top contact.

Yayoi didn't wait long.

After only one breath, the call was connected.

A cold voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's the matter?"

Mori Ogai's voice seemed to have remained the same.

Low and hoarse, like the old wine hidden deep in the wine cellar by her.

Compared with the clearer voice in his youth, this kind of voice makes Yayoi feel in a trance now-ah, he has grown up, this kind of thought.

The girl's inconspicuous Adam's apple rolled up and down, and she didn't know how to speak for a moment.

The boy on the other end of the phone was sitting on the balcony, staring at the obscure medical textbook in front of him with dark eyes, while holding the phone firmly by his ear.

After the few quarrels in the past, Yayoi will put coaxing Mori Ogai as the most important thing, and she will put everything else, including work, aside.

No matter who is right or wrong, it must be Mori Ogai who is coaxed.

But this time is different.It has been two months since they quarreled.

In the past two months, Mori Ogai thought, maybe he was too unreasonable to make trouble, obviously he asked Yayoi's preferences about his supernatural appearance, why he was angry because he didn't hear the answer he wanted from Yayoi.

He also thought about whether his elder sister was really angry this time, and wanted to wait for him to apologize, to soften and reconcile.

But the young man's proud character did not allow him to be the first to apologize.

Until he inquired about the news in secret, but was unanimously concealed by the Hong Kong and black members, specifically targeting him.

A member with a fairly good relationship with him reminded cryptically: "If there is any misunderstanding with the leader, you should hurry up and apologize to the leader."

"Otherwise you may be..."

The member didn't say the rest of the words.

He thought it was a guess, so he chose to leave half of the words, but it was this half that made Mori Ogai anxious.

What will happen?

Will be punished?Asahina Yayoi has always been reluctant to do anything to him, even if she is in the gymnastics class in person, she will pay attention not to hurt him.

But he couldn't think of anything else.

Mori Ogai, who grew up under Yayoi's unconditional doting, never thought of the possibility of being abandoned in that sentence hidden by that member.

When Mori Ogai finally couldn't help but want to bow his head to Yayoi, Yayoi called him one step ahead of him.

"Are you still used to it at Tokyo University?" Yayoi asked.

She pursed her dry lips, and then remembered that she seemed to have not eaten or drank for a day.

No wonder my stomach hurts.

The other end of the phone was quiet for a while, and Yayoi did not speak, quietly giving the young man time to think.

But in the end the young man just replied concisely: "It's not bad."

The atmosphere fell into silence again, both of them were waiting for the other to speak.

In the past, Yayoi would definitely be the first to soften his heart, but this time Yayoi suddenly remembered the plan he made not long ago.

She can't be soft-hearted, even if she is soft-hearted, she can't let the boy see it.

So after a long silence, Mori Ogai heard Yayoi say: "That's good, then I'll hang up first."

Without hesitation, Yayoi pressed the hang up button.

The beep of the phone being hung up reached the boy's ears.

Mori Ogai squeezed the fingers holding the phone tightly, his eyes widened instantly.

For a moment Mori Ogai felt like falling into an ice cellar, and the night wind blew across the terrace, slowly immersing his heart in the icy night wind.

Something has changed.

His hand was still holding the phone stiffly by his ear, and the tall humanoid had the ability to feel the manic emotions in Mori Ogai's heart, but he couldn't read Mori Ogai's inner thoughts from it for a while.

She walked into the terrace: "What happened?"

Mori Ouwai opened his mouth, feeling as if sand had been poured into his throat, making the sound in his vocal cords hoarse like sand rubbing against it.

"Get ready... we will return to Yokohama tomorrow."

But coincidentally, when Mori Ogai hurried back to Hong Kong Kuro, Yayoi happened to leave the hospital to pick up Tsunakichi, and the two passed each other.

As soon as Mori Ogai walked into the Hong Kong Black Building, he realized something was wrong.

Those who saw him kept looking at him as if nothing had happened, and whispered in surprise, and even Mori Ogai saw the schadenfreude in some people's eyes.

There was definitely something going on that he didn't know about.

The young man pursed his lips and quickened his pace towards the chief's office on the top floor.

The guards on the top floor are all familiar with Mori Ogai, and seeing Mori Ogai walking straight to the chief's office, they didn't respond in any way.

After all, Yayoi once said that there is no place Mori Ogai can't go in the entire port mafia. Even if they were curious about whether the rumor would affect Mori Ogai's status, but before Yayoi's order came down, everything was as usual.

Mori Owai pushed open the door of the office, and immediately froze in place.

The teenager glanced blankly across the office.

The office, which has not undergone major changes for more than ten years, has undergone earth-shaking changes during the two months since he left.

Gone was his desk and sofa, and in its place was a visibly thickened rug with toys for young children.

All the sharp places in the office were carefully wrapped, and there was a transparent glass jar on the desk, which contained the candy he didn't like.

The bookshelves that used to hold the big tomes he liked to read are now filled with fairy tale books that don’t fit the office style, and even the darts hung on the wall for him to practice darts have become children’s graffiti.

These details all showed that after he left, another person occupied the territory that should belong to him, or that belonged exclusively to him.

It's a child, a young child.

Then if everything that belonged to him here almost disappeared.

What about another place?

So the guard in the corridor saw that Mori Ogai hadn't even entered the office, so he turned and left this floor without looking back.

He got into the taxi with a blank mind, and the simple and honest driver saw the young man's distraught and pale expression, and stepped on the accelerator to speed up.

The car stopped in front of the familiar small building.

Mori Ogai paid the money and got out of the car, holding a half-new and old key in his pocket, walking eagerly, and finally started to run.

Just like his birthday in winter that year, he also ran towards [home] like this, as if he could grasp the future by running forward.

It's a pity that he suddenly discovered that the god of luck no longer seemed to be by his side.

There was no need to take out the key, Mori Ogai knew it clearly.

Because the door lock, stained with copper rust over the years, has become brand new, and it is impossible to insert a cross-shaped key into the flat keyhole.

He stared blankly at the door lock, suddenly a bright color flashed in his peripheral vision.

He turned to look at the yard.

A few sunflowers were planted by the side of the road, which looked out of place among the roses in the flower garden.

But there is a small sign in front of these flowers.

The handwriting on the sign was immature, with a few big characters written crookedly.

[Sister Yayoi and Tsuna's sun flower]

This sign was placed in front of the flower garden, making it seem like they planted the entire garden.

...No one could see that those roses were planted by him to please Yayoi with all his efforts.

The teenager's legs seemed to take root in the garden.

He stood from noon to sunset, from sunset to the moon hanging on the branches.

He finally found the person he wanted to meet.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed girl carefully hugged the sleeping boy in her arms. The delicate and lovely boy put his arms around her neck and smiled sweetly in her arms.

The blond girl met the boy standing in the yard, and a memory suddenly flashed across Mori Ogai's mind.

["I need an heir, he can't be too old, too big to be controlled by me; he doesn't need to have experience, because he can be polished by me."

"Of course... there is the most important point."

"You have to look good."]

This is what Asahina Yayoi once said to him.

Now one by one is facing the child in her arms.

All the things that were wrong during this time became a thread in his mind.

Hong Kong and black members' concealment, Yayoi's indifferent attitude, and hanging up the phone last night.

These things are summed up in one sentence.

"what about me?"

The young man showed a smile that was almost broken, and asked in a half-crying voice, "What about me?"

"You...you don't need me anymore?"

He prayed to God piously in his heart, not wanting to hear an answer that would scar him all over.

And God answered his request.

The blond girl hugged the child and passed him by, took out the key from the child's neck, and opened the door of the house.

The girl's back disappeared behind the softly closed door.

His wish came true.

His elder sister didn't say anything, but he seemed to have got the answer.

—he was left behind.
