attack on rotten oranges

Everything Masaki Wenbu gave to his son was carefully selected.Even if this dagger is not a spell tool, it still has a sharp edge, shining like autumn frost in the weak light of the night.

Cutting human tissue with a dagger, the slight resistance is not much different from the feel of cutting thick, starched fabric with freshly sharpened scissors.

Wenbu Shuhei found that he was strangely calm now, and even had the intention to pay attention to the splashed blood——

The adult man whose throat was cut open in front of him looked like an overripe fruit, and after it was damaged, it flowed out a bright red juice with a subtle taste.

His right hand and cuff were completely stained red with blood. It was still warm at first, but after the night wind in the alley blew, it turned into an uncomfortably cool.

After noticing the blood stains on the cuffs, the damp and uncomfortable feeling showed his existence all the time, Bunbe Shuhei shook his hands, wanting to leave here.

"It's you..." He unexpectedly discovered that the boy he rescued turned out to be an acquaintance.

The little boy's face was full of tears and fear, and he didn't have the bright smile when he gave Wenbu Shuhei an umbrella on a rainy day.

"..." Wenbu Shuhei originally wanted to remind the other party to run away quickly, and then parted ways with him at the alley, but now he was a little undecided.

He hid the dagger behind him, squatted down, and looked up at the boy from a lower angle: "Remember me? You gave me an umbrella in the rain."

With tears in his eyes, the boy choked up and nodded indiscriminately.Shuhei Bunbu was not sure if he understood.

"Remember? Then come with me, okay?"

Bunbu Shuhei simply made a decision for the other party.

Thus, the two children, one big and one small, disappeared into the night.

***

Shuhei Bunbu carefully washed the dried blood on his hands in the flowing river, and vigorously wrung out the cuffs, but he still squatted by the river and did not want to get up.

He stared blankly at his own reflection in the clear river, because he had already understood the ins and outs of the matter from the boy's topsy-turvy narration——

The driver who drove last night was the boy's father. He belongs to the Yokohama police. He recently solved a major case and involved the interests of the underground world, so he suddenly became the target of Mafia's demonstration to the government.

And last night, the brakes and explosions after the vehicle tried to divert the pursuer away proved that the other party was in danger.

Worst of all, the family had been attacked last night in the safe house prepared by his father and fled all the way to that alley.This proves that someone in the government system has betrayed the boy's family information.

"We can't let him go to the government to seek asylum, he will die." Bunbu Shuhei stretched out his hand to flick the water, and sighed in his heart.

"So what?" Bunbu Youe said coldly.

If it wasn't for the fear of being seen by the supernatural being, she would definitely show up and nod her brother's forehead fiercely: "You have no reason to pay for him."

"...That's right." Bunbu Shuhei turned his head slightly, and from the corner of his eye looked at the boy behind him who cried until he was exhausted and finally fell asleep. "Children are too troublesome."

"I can't think of how to comfort him..."

Putting himself in the shoes of others, Bunbu Shuhei understands the sadness of a boy who lost his parents, but he was precocious since he was a child. When his mother and sister passed away, he was not only sad, but also had deep-seated hatred.The latter supported the father and son through the most painful period of time.

"..."

"I can't tell him that his enemy is [Purgatory Shelter], and then kick him away, and let this kid give them a bone frame that can make a lot of money?"

Shuhei Bunbu has not forgotten that the member of [Purgatory House] wanted to make a boy into a human bone specimen.

"You can just leave now." Bunbu Yue urged, "According to what you said before, it is a natural choice for you to survive and stay away from burdens, so there is no problem."

"Sister, don't you disagree with that point of view?" Wenbu Shuhei said helplessly.

"Because the situation was not tense at that time, naturally your mood was more important." Bunbu Yue snorted, "Now you should take care of yourself first!"

"..." Shuhei Bunbu got up from the water's edge, and walked lightly to the boy.

The boy's eyes were red and swollen, and even in his sleep he was still trembling with fear, very unsteady.

He curled up and clasped the turf around him with his fingers, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.

"……never mind."

Xia Youjie still didn't calm down at this time.In his mind, the image of the gray-haired boy who was less than ten years old killing the enemy neatly was constantly replaying.

It's not that Xia Youjie didn't know that Bunbu Shuhei had killed someone, and Xia Youjie was there when he executed Kataoka Takuma and freed the victim.

But he really didn't expect Shuhei Bunbu to kill for the first time so early.

Moreover, it is not a passive counterattack after being attacked, but an active hunting.

For Xia Youjie, this is another shock different from the dark environment of Yokohama——

To protect the weak is in line with his concept of "helping the weak and restraining the strong". However, the victim was a non-magician, which violated Xia Youjie's belief that "magicians exist to protect non-magicians".

Now, seeing Bunbu Shuhei leaning over in front of the boy, it was hard for Xia Youjie to explain what choice he expected the boy to make.

He not only hopes that Shuhei Bunbu will stick to the road of helping the weak, but also fears that the boy will put more pressure on Shuhei Bunbu, and fears that his friends will fall into darkness all the way.

"This is a deal." Wenbu Shuhei said in his heart, "This is a deal in exchange for my peace of mind with my short-term help."

"You've already saved him once, isn't that enough for your peace of mind?" Youhui said angrily.

"It shouldn't be enough, because it happened before I knew he was the kid who gave the umbrella, and it was my active choice." Shuhei Bunbube lowered his eyes, "And I help him now, because of the umbrella at that time. "

"This...can make me feel that I am not... an ungrateful person."

Bunbu Yue was about to refute that the small help was not enough for Shuhei Bunbu to take such a big risk, but she suddenly realized that her brother must have remembered the intermediary who had helped him.

"..." Even though she no longer had physical needs, Bunbe Yue took a few deep breaths in her mind to stabilize her mood.

"Let's say it first, if you are in danger, I ask you to throw him away."

"Okay." The gray-haired boy said softly, "It's natural."

"We agreed to live a good life together, sister."

***

Four days later, next to the abandoned industrial area in Yokohama, inside the bridge hole of a broken bridge.

"The government was responsible for the funeral of your parents, and they were finally buried here." Wenbu Shuhei handed the boy a piece of paper, "Because of the special period, they were buried without a ceremony, so it was very fast."

"..." The boy's eyes were red again.

Shuhei Bunbu felt a little numb when he saw that he was about to cry, so he quickly stepped up his tone so that he could finish what he wanted to say before the boy's tears fell.

"Because one of your accomplices is dead and the organization chasing and killing you is eyeing you, so you can't appear on the bright side yet."

"Hmm." The boy responded in a low voice.

"By the way, what's your name?" Wenbu Shuhei suddenly discovered a blind spot.

"Self-denial." The boy replied with a sob.

"Ah, so." Bunbu Shuhei patted his head, then left the space in the bridge hole for the boy, walked slowly to the water's edge, listened to the suppressed crying behind him, and looked around.

Shuhei Wenbu was able to find a place here with self-denial, which was a surprise.

This is an abandoned industrial area. Because of industrial pollution, there are not many humans settled here.After the war broke out, it became a gathering place for wild dogs.

Therefore, it is very dangerous for homeless people. After all, no one wants to be bitten off by animals in their sleep.

I don't know if it was the influence of the change of mentality after the murder, Shuhei Bunbube quickly comprehended the first technique [Spell Awakening String].Although the matching [Slash] may still misfire at any time, but the mantra strings are arranged around the bridge hole, which can effectively prevent being attacked.

After fixing the foothold, Wenbu Shuhei's activity route was finally determined - every day, he would take Keji to a monitored store in the rich area to buy food, and then make a detour to return to the bridge hole after making sure no one was following him.

And Bunbu Shuhei explained it to the boy in this way——

"The chaos will end sooner or later, and the surveillance in the store is your best proof."

"What evidence?"

"Of course it is the evidence that you have not entered Raibo Street." Wenbu Shuhei replied casually, "The shops I chose are all located far away from Raibo Street. There are similar shops near Raibo Street, so most people don't Will look far away.”

Seeing that the boy was still ignorant and confused, Shuhei Bunbube patiently explained: "When the chaos is over, I will send you to the police station. At that time, you may be adopted by relatives, or you may be sent to welfare institutions..."

"But no matter what the result is, you have to avoid getting attached to Radium Bowl Street, otherwise you will be viewed with colored glasses."

"understand?"

"I, I don't want to leave big brother." The boy grasped another important point.

"Don't be naive." Bunbu Shuhei was not moved at all, "You should learn to judge for yourself what is best for you, and then strive for that result." Because the person who will plan a better future for you is no longer in this world.

"Huh?" Bunbu Shuhei suddenly saw a group of black suits approaching the distant river bank.

He turned around and rushed into the bridge hole, pulling Keji to curl up in the innermost shadow of the bridge hole.

People on the river bank generally don't pay attention to a useless broken bridge, and the shadow of the bridge hole is even more hidden. Shuhei Bunbube bets that he will not be found.

"Well, those idiots who know how to use fire have made an agreement with other organizations to steal our goods?" The leader was a boy covered in bandages and a black suit on his shoulders.

He is the youngest in the crowd, but judging from the awe and fear of the people around him, he is also the highest.

"Those organizations? Which batch of weapons to grab? When?"

"do not know?"

The boy's tone was still brisk, but for no reason revealed a bit of danger.

When the people around him were trembling and did not dare to answer, the boy's eyes lit up and he rushed onto the broken bridge.

Bunbu Shuhei covered Katsumi's mouth, vigilantly distinguishing the voices from the bridge deck.

"This is really a place suitable for entering the water!"

With a relaxed sigh, the boy in the black suit jumped off the broken bridge.

Shuhei Bunbe raised his head in the shadows, and seemed to meet the eyes of the black-haired boy who fell into the water...
