Anomalous ability is Doctor Mori

15

In this way, Alice's first summer in Yokohama came.Then came autumn, and then, the war was over.

Yokohama, where the war was over, was suddenly influx of a large group of outsiders, and it became even more chaotic.These people who had no residence, no income, or even registered permanent residence quickly merged with the poor at the bottom of Yokohama, and some of them were desperate and stared at the 2000-meter-deep pit not far from Alice’s house that was blown out by Zhongya. .After the winter was over, Alice and Mori Ogai passed by occasionally one day, and she was surprised to find that there were quite a few crooked little houses built by scavengers with discarded materials at the bottom of the pit.

"It's a great idea."

The surface has a diameter of 2000 meters and an arc-shaped deep pit with an arc height of 300 meters at the deepest point. The surface area is roughly calculated to be 342 million square meters, which is approximately equal to 479 standard football fields.If this place is full, the government will probably suffer from a headache.

No matter how dilapidated it is, this is still a house, and it is not at the same level of difficulty as driving homeless people who build cardboard boxes in the park.

"The government will become like this no matter what. The war just ended, and they don't have the leeway. Besides, this is a concession area, and they can't manage it even if they want to." Mori Ogai narrowed his eyes. Once you get to this place, it’s only going to get worse.”

"As expected of the Yokohama government that eats jujube pills." Alice twitched her lips indifferently.It doesn't take Mori Ogai to say that she has seen it too, and the surrounding area has been affected.

The little girl slowed down a little, looked up and looked around.This road was already much more bleak than when she first saw it.Especially the buildings near the pit, many of which are dilapidated.It seems that all the original residents have moved away. After all, although the government came to check it back then, it did not give any explanation for the explosion. After that, no one came to repair or rebuild here. Most people don’t want to live next to the ruins of the explosion. of.

"Look there." Mori Ogai pointed to a row of houses on the side of the pit on the opposite side of the street not far away.Three or four five-six-story apartment buildings of different shapes and sizes were painted with a big logo on the outer walls. "That's the sign of PortMafia. These buildings are probably converted into warehouses or something. To avoid trouble, we'll have to take a detour later."

Alice clicked her tongue in a low voice when she saw the black suits coming in and out of the entrance.

"It's really annoying."

"This is Yokohama." Mori Ogai replied calmly, with a cold light in his eyes.But soon, he smiled again, "Don't worry about this kind of thing, Alice. Let's go home quickly, didn't Oda say that he would come to eat today."

As he spoke, he pulled the little girl with a smile and turned a corner at the next intersection.

***

Compared with the spicy chicken government that made Alice feel uncomfortable, Oda boy has been very good since he made an appointment with her.

Basically, it will appear two or three times a month, sometimes it will call, sometimes it will not.In the beginning, every time I was covered with wounds, the wounds became less and less.After the winter, when he came back, he was basically clean.The first two times I brought things to the door.After being lectured by Alice, he changed to bring food.I don't know who gave him the idea, but they are all children's favorite snacks.Alice didn't think it was expensive, so she let him go, and Chuya liked it very much.

The more times they came, the two boys became acquainted - under Alice's strong request, the Oda boy would stay at least one night before leaving.

One year older, the Oda boy was still the stubborn kid who didn't like to talk in front of Alice.But once the partner is changed to Chuya, he will be an all-round good brother who will not refuse anything.Nakaya also didn't know where he could see that he was good at martial arts, so he wanted to pester Oda to learn how to fight, and the two often disappeared after eating.For boys, it's normal to be lively and active, so Alice doesn't care.She believed that Oda knew what was in his mind, and would not take Chuya far away.Rimbaud was the first to notice something was wrong and notified Alice.One time, Alice looked for him without saying hello, and she saw Oda carrying the gun that Chuya had brought with him at a glance.

Alice was about to reach out and knock on the foreheads of the two children on the spot, but was stopped by Mori Ogai's sharp eyes.

"Hey~Alice Alice~~" The dark red eyes with superpowers smiled and smoothed things over, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. In this world, boys also need to learn more skills to defend themselves."

"So you knew about it a long time ago?" Alice narrowed her eyes dangerously.

However, Mori Ogai will not be intimidated by this level: "This is not a bad thing."

Alice glared at him.But what Mori Ogai said was indeed true, and she just didn't realize it for a while.Thinking about it now, apart from continuing to scold the world, there is really no reason to stop it.Living in Yokohama like this, I really can't do without learning a little bit.

So she could only touch instead of knocking, rubbed each of the two boys' heads, left a sentence of "be careful" and turned back.

"What the hell is wrong with the world. When it calms down a bit, I must send Chuya to school." On the way back, Alice couldn't hold back her curse, and then looked up at Mori Ogai, "Do you think it's too late?" How long will it take to get angry?"

Mori Ogai looked up at the orange sky at sunset, as if the answer was written in the sky: "Just another year or two."

In another year or two, the government should be able to free up its hands.But in the same way, one or two more years will be enough to make it bigger.

***

And so on for another two years.The impact of the war on the market has subsided a lot as Mori Ogai said.But as Mori Ogai expected, the situation in Yokohama itself has not improved in any way. □□ Relying on the post-war chaos to further expand, even though the government has strengthened its strength, and a special law enforcement agency called the military police, above the police, has settled in Yokohama, their actions have not achieved any substantial progress at all.

Under the "everyday" that seems to have restored order, the water in Yokohama is still deep and the law and order are still poor.

But these have little to do with Alice.She is busy (supervising Mori Ogai) making money and raising a baby, and has no time to comment on current affairs.As an ordinary citizen with limited sympathy, it's good that she can take care of the things around her.

Eleven-year-old Alice has recently been busy looking for a school for Chuya, and by the way watched Rimbaud write poems.

Yes, that's right.Comrade Rimbaud, a former spy, can write poetry!

It's very advanced, isn't it!

When she saw the poem written by Rimbaud for the first time, Alice was stunned.She is as rustic as a pure literary waste like her father, and she doesn't think she has much poetry appreciation level, but the poems written by Rimbaud are really wonderful.His metaphors are exquisite and elegant, and he doesn't pretend to be mysterious at all. He is the type that even Alice can recognize at a glance as a masterpiece.

//Stars sleep on the dark silent waves, white Ophelia dances like a great lily...//*

What kind of French treasure fairy is this!

"The one who can write this kind of poem must be Wen (original) Hao (character)!" Alice couldn't help complaining to Mori Ogai, "Yang Xiaoqi is really unreliable."

"Whether it's a character in the original book or not, it's your character now."

"That's true." Alice said triumphantly, "It's all because of my good care." After finishing speaking, she excitedly dragged Rimbaud and Zhongya to plan poetry collections and schooling.

"Both are not in a hurry." The little girl smiled, her whole body brimming with joy, "Rimbaud's poems can be accumulated slowly, and when there are enough, we will publish a collection of poems in one go. I am also optimistic about the school in Zhongye. You won’t go to elementary school, we can teach the basics anyway, and after two years, you’ll go directly to middle school.”

Mori Ogai squinted his red eyes, stood aside and watched the big and small talk about the future, but smiled and said nothing.It just so happened that the phone rang, and when he picked it up, he heard a familiar voice.

"Hey?"

"Ah, it's Oda." Mori Ogai said, "Are you coming back for dinner tonight? Alice is here, do you want her to answer the phone?" As he spoke, he planned to call someone.

However, unexpectedly, the clear boyish voice on the phone heaved a sigh of relief, "No need, this is fine."

***

"No need, that's fine."

The tall and thin boy held a gun in one hand and a phone in the other, looking at the well-dressed corpse lying on the ground, but the images of memories kept flashing before his eyes.

The father's weak expression and the girl's blue eyes.

Simple bedroom and warm living room.

The rough hands were a little bit cold until they lost their temperature, and the smell of antiseptic and the spicy mixture of curry filled the air.

He lowered his eyes, his deep blue eyes concealed the faint light like a candle flame.

"Doctor Sen, please tell Alice—

I will not be going back to the clinic again.

However, before he could say this, he was interrupted by the childish voice of a little girl on the other end of the phone.

"—what are you going to tell me?"

The young man was stunned.

"Oda?"

"what……"

The words that had already reached the mouth of the throat suddenly couldn't be said no matter what.On the other end of the phone, the girl's voice continued.

"Are you coming back for dinner today?"

"...No..." The young man tightened his grip on the phone, and there was a rare look of bewilderment in his eyes.

"That's it." The voice on the phone showed a little disappointment, but soon, she became happy again, "What about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow also... no..."

"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow..."

"I see. I see." As if feeling something, the voice on the phone changed.The girl seemed to take a deep breath before speaking.

"But, you will come back, right? Oda, we have an appointment, I don't care what you do, but if you are injured or hungry, you have to go home and eat."

She emphasized the pronunciation of the word "go home".

Oda—the boy whose full name is Oda Sakunosuke lowered his eyelashes.

He wants to say, no, I killed the leader of my own organization, the situation will become very complicated, and I shouldn't go back to you.

"Chuya and Rambo are also waiting for you. I found a new type of curry, super spicy - I didn't move at all, I'm saving it for you."

After paying off the medical expenses owed that year, he finally broke away from the organization that imprisoned him for four years as Alice hoped.

——Then, the last tie was broken, and he embarked on the road of becoming an independent killer.

- It should have been like this.

"So," the voice on the phone paused, and then it was extremely gentle, although it was childish and delicate, it was as gentle as a "mother" voice.

"You'll be home, won't you?"

- It should have been like this.

——With blood on their hands, the people wandering around the dark side of this city are like wild dogs biting each other.Too close to the light will only bring misfortune to each other.

—He has always thought so.

But at this moment, he curled his mouth and closed his eyes.

The boy's clear voice sounded.

"Ah...although it will take a little longer..."

he heard himself say.

"I'll be back. Curry—keep it for me."

***

The phone was hung up.

Alice blinked.He turned around and smiled.

"Nothing, just Oda said that he will be busy recently, although it will take a little longer - but he said he will come back when he is done."

After finishing speaking, she reached out and rubbed the boy's hair, "Chuya go play with Rimbaud first, I'll be right over."

"Ok."

The orange-haired boy nodded obediently, then turned and went back to the living room.Only Mori Ogai saw that as soon as Chuya walked out of the consultation room, Alice's expression darkened.

"...Ah—so angry..." She whispered in an extremely calm, even creepy tone, as if talking to herself.A silent killing intent spread all over his body.

Mori Ogai looked down at her expression, wisely he didn't speak at this moment.

The author has something to say: I have always felt that Oda Sakunosuke is a very firm person.Maybe it's not right to use firmness, but I think he is indeed a person who will continue to do things unswervingly as long as he is determined.

In the original work, it doesn't matter if they don't kill people, or they go to Gide after the children have an accident. The performance after being caught by Fukuzawa in "The Secret Story of the Establishment of the Detective Agency" is good, but in Alice's words, she is very stubborn.

He is a person who can do many things for people he trusts, but will not ask others to do things for him.

Then, I still feel that for "Oda Sakunosuke", Mr. Natsume's book is a very important turning point in life.It is a very important part of Oda Sakunosuke that I like.This is something Alice cannot do.

So let's let Oda boy read a book first.

It's okay, he will come back after reading the book.It might take a little longer, but he'll be home.
