The catastrophe of the heroine

In the eyes of those Mafia colleagues, Oda Sakunosuke is undoubtedly a wonderful and wonderful person.

With a meager salary, one person adopted five orphans.

Naturally, most people don't know that Oda Sakunosuke used to be a ruthless killer with a powerful ability called "Seamless Clothes", which can predict what will happen in the next 5 seconds or so.

A former killer with powerful abilities.Adding these two points together, it should be very easy to get promoted in a violent organization like the Mafia, but he has always adhered to the principle of not killing people, and has been working hard at the lowest level.

Oda Sakunosuke originally thought that his life should continue in a bland manner.

Daily life is nothing more than cleaning up the battlefield, dealing with duds, and helping mafia-related officials mediate emotional problems.

In my spare time, I gathered with two friends in Lupin to drink some wine. On the way back, I thought about what to buy for the children to make them happy. I still want to eat spicy curry tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.

However, from that day on.

It was unexpected to be entrusted by the leader to investigate the disappearance of his friend and intelligence officer Ango Sakaguchi.

Later, he was involved in the mimic incident, and it was unexpected to be targeted by the leader of the mimic.

During this period, Oda Sakunosuke had an extremely busy time.

Because another friend of his, Dazai Osamu, a cadre of the port mafia, judged that mimic would do something to the children in order to threaten him, so in order to ensure the safety of the children he adopted, he asked Dazai to hide the children.

On this day, the matter finally came to an end, and Sakunosuke Oda, who planned to visit the children, was walking on the streets of Yokohama, holding gifts for the children.

Unlike the sunny weather, his mood can be said to be chaotic and complicated.Regarding the betrayal of his friend Ango Sakaguchi, the three of them probably won't get together to drink together in that bar again.And that Gide who said that he must let himself understand him, intends to involve him in the struggle, and wants to fight himself to the death.

Oda Sakunosuke thought a lot, and later thought of five children, and he still insisted on his ideals.I want to wait until the children can be independent. Sooner or later, I will completely put down my guns, get rid of the work of the mafia, and sit in a room with a view of the sea and start writing novels.

For some reason, he remembered the encounter with that child named Sakura Marin again.

For the 23-year-old Sakunosuke Oda, the girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old could indeed be called a child.

The chance of meeting the same person two days in a row is really quite small, so the impression is naturally deep.

Moreover, what the girl said just now really made him a little puzzled.

That kid should be just a simple tourist.When I met her for the first time, the bags she held in her hand were all Yokohama specialties, and they were obviously something that people who came to visit would buy.

But the reason why Oda Sakunosuke noticed her was because the girl who passed by him was obviously avoiding something.The expression and the muscles of her body were tense, but when she looked back, she found that there was no one chasing her behind her.

After that, she ran into a nearby alley, but unfortunately, she was surrounded by gangsters who had nothing to do in this street.

However, she never showed the nervous state just now.Instead, she looked around for a while without feeling nervous, and seemed to be relieved to find that the thing chasing her was gone.

This kind of behavior obviously angered those punks who thought they were very powerful.They feel they are underestimated.

Facing the encirclement circle approaching her unkindly, the girl just showed a look of trouble, as if there was nothing to fear in front of her.

...If you show this expression, you probably don't need someone to save you.

Some people don't need to be protected as they seem on the surface, Oda Sakunosuke is very clear.Such people are very common in Yokohama, the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

However, it should be said that after not being a killer, Oda Sakunosuke is a very ordinary good person in the normal sense.He just felt that since he saw such a troubled child, it was only natural to help him.

Just because you don't need to be rescued doesn't mean you like to encounter such a thing.

So, those gangsters who didn't listen to persuasion were simply beaten to the ground by the bottom of the mafia.

The moment the girl saw him, she showed some surprise, although Oda Sakunosuke didn't know what she was surprised about.

She stared at him for several seconds afterwards, as if identifying something.Because she felt that she had no intention of explaining, maybe there was an acquaintance who looked a little like him, so Oda Sakunosuke, who was not very curious, didn't ask any questions.

Afterwards, the girl politely thanked him.Sure enough, she introduced herself as a middle school student who came to Yokohama for vacation.

Then I found a public phone booth on the side of the road, skillfully dialed the number of the police station, and reported to the police anonymously.The action is extremely smooth, and he hangs up immediately after the report, a very accustomed look.

Seeing his gaze, the girl sighed:

"Is it really strange to choose to call the police in this place in Yokohama? Should I just leave it alone? Oh, I just use the public phone because I don't want to follow Mr. Police to make a statement. It's too troublesome."

No, in fact, I just think you are too skilled.

"It's right to call the police." Oda Sakunosuke said, "But why do you think it's strange to call the police in Yokohama?"

I had this impression when I first came to Yokohama, did something happen to me?

"Eh? I was just wondering, with all the mafia around here, can the police still be fully effective?"

The girl pinched her chin, and the tone of the exclamation was a little curious.

"This kind of ordinary incident still has to be handled by the police."

Oda Sakunosuke, who is at the bottom of the mafia, is also a person who abides by the rules on weekdays. He sighed and said, "But the police here are indeed harder than other places... It is not easy for everyone."

"Ah, that's really miserable, Uncle Policeman."

The two of them traveled together for a short distance, and chatted for a while in a very ordinary way.

During the period, Oda Sakunosuke listened to Sakura Marin complaining a few words about why he met gangsters when he came to travel, and he also encountered a robbery incident on the way.In this way, it is really nothing if the other party encounters a few gangsters blocking the way, it is already considered the lowest level of danger.

After parting, Oda Sakunosuke turned around and went in another direction, but he heard a loud noise and the noise of human voices behind him.

When he suddenly turned his head back, it was only when he entered the scene that he realized that the child was actually unlucky beyond imagination.

The steel bar hanging from the crane at the roadside construction site accidentally fell down and hit her feet, and it was really only a little bit away from smashing her head to death.

——No, it shouldn't be a fluke, she escaped by her own ability.

He ran over.

"Sakura, are you okay?"

The girl turned her head when she heard the sound, and blinked.The unchanged expression in the blue pupil was so calm that it was incredible.

She just rubbed her numb ears from the sound of steel bars falling to the ground, and grinned exaggeratedly.

"It's okay, I was just taken aback."

That completely expected reaction seemed to be a normal feeling for human beings after a catastrophe.

"It's just unfortunate today... I'm sorry for worrying you, Oda-san."

— she said so.

That was the whole process of Oda Sakunosuke and Sakura Rin's first acquaintance.Just meeting by chance, he started to worry about a child he didn't know well for no reason.

Is it just bad luck today?

Oda Sakunosuke thought about this question for a long time on the way back.

No, it's not possible.

You have already gotten used to it, how many times did you encounter such accidents before you got used to it?
