Everyone is urging me

With Chuya's help, Boss Sato's construction went smoothly.

The project, which was originally scheduled for half a year, took only four months now.Although only a few outer streets have been repaired, it is also the beginning of a new life for the residents after the disaster.

If it were someone else, they might call it a day and withhold the small allocation, but the responsible Sato was the one who took over the commission.

After hesitating for a moment, Sato waved his hand and pushed the construction team forward.

Another month later, Sato, who had only a few meals left in the appropriation, stayed in the street for two more days and donated the last bit of money to the rebuilding of Teresa Orphanage.

In terms of doing good deeds, it can be regarded as having a beginning and an end.

On the day he left, Zhongye and I went to see him off.

Boss Sato is very talkative, so during such a short journey, I heard him boast to me about the reliability of Chuya for ten minutes.

He also said that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would continue to hire Zhongye to work for him, and joked that the salary at that time should be higher than what he got here.

I didn't interrupt, but Zhongya replied very politely, saying that if there is an opportunity to cooperate in the future, he will not refuse.

"Last month, I heard from a friend that her family had a new daughter. Unfortunately, I was in charge of the construction site at that time, so I could only call to congratulate her. I must remember to make up the congratulatory gift when I go back this time."

Sato never hesitated to share his happiness and life with us, and never underestimated us because of our age.

For me, getting along with Sato was very pleasant, so I was really reluctant to say goodbye when I said goodbye, "...ah, it's good to send it here."

We have come to the edge of the concession.

Hearing Boss Sato's initiative to remind me, Zhongye and I stopped the pace of seeing us off tacitly.

"You should have a hard time in the future." Boss Sato's smiling expression finally faded away at this moment. He sighed, but knew that he had nothing to do with the status quo. "Zhongyuan, protect Angel well."

"You don't need to tell me I will."

Sato put back his smile in relief.

We watched Sato leave together, and Chuya and I didn't look back until we could no longer see him.

In the next second, we looked at each other at the same time, our eyes intertwined.

"Anjie, let's go home."

"Ah."

After the construction team left, the gradually formed Leibo Street was no longer noisy during construction.

In the first two days, I may have felt happy, thinking that I slept better at night than before, but after a while, I felt that without those outsiders, the atmosphere on Leibo Street returned to the dullness of the day just after the explosion.

I knew in my heart that only the reconstructed periphery maintained temporary peace and daily life. The Leibo Street, which is gradually taking shape near the center of the explosion, is actually a slum in other words.

The residents of Leibo Street who lost their relatives and money in the explosion, the most common way to maintain their daily life is to steal and rob.

Under the vicious circle, except for the gangsters who deliberately choose this chaotic place to congregate, people with a little ability want to leave Leibo Street and live elsewhere.

Neither Zhong nor I chose to leave.

In addition to the fact that I was too lazy to leave and Zhong also wanted to find out my background, it was also because we were all black households without identities.

Thanks to the several months of helping the construction team, Nakaya found a similar job after Sato left, and the salary he got barely supported the two of us. If we saved, we could save some more.

Then one day, Chuya, who tried to redeem the card for me behind my back, went home angrily.

I don't know why, so I quietly followed Zhongye's book spirit to tell me the reason.

"Your issuing card has been sold." It said in a playful tone, "It's obviously not overdue, but it was sold to someone else at a high price by the pawnshop owner. I went to the backstage and saw his receipt, which is quite a high price. The amount of money that ordinary people can't earn in their lifetime... Zhong Yuan was so angry that he wanted to use his power, but the boss said that the person who bought the card was a wealthy businessman who had taken refuge in the Communist Party, and threatened him that if he dared to do it, you would have nothing to eat .”

It's not that I'm worried that I won't be able to solve it, but I'm afraid that something will happen to Angel (me), who can't protect himself.

So I could only come back sulking, and didn't dare to tell me the truth.

It's too—

Be cute!

I covered my mouth, suppressing the smile on my lips.

Since Zhong didn't want to say anything, I pretended not to know and didn't ask anything.

Anyway, the issuing card has no special function. The close-up at the beginning was just to highlight Angel's "angel" image, so as to prevent the heroine who is obviously very special but has no jewelry from being too shabby.

Once I think that the person who bought the card is a wealthy businessman, and this rich businessman may give the card to whom (such as his wife or mistress), I don't think it is worth mentioning that it has been worn by other people.

...Although I was a bit reluctant to sell the card at the beginning.

But I'm more reluctant to part with such a large carat sapphire and ultra-high clarity diamonds on the wings than the hairpin itself.

Isn't it normal for girls to like shiny jewelry!

I see it very openly, but Zhong also doesn't seem to let it go so easily.

Maybe it was also stimulated by this incident. Recently, he has been paying more and more attention to my feelings. Whenever I feel a little unhappy, he will be very nervous and think of ways to make me happy.

Even the work is more meticulous and hardworking than before.

As a vested interest, I'm actually quite happy.

But in a blink of an eye, I thought that this seemed to be too much bullying to him, and I started to worry about how to make him relax and stop thinking about it.

However, before I had to waste my brain cells to discuss with Shuling, a new problem came to me again.

What needs to be mentioned here is that after the reconstruction of the surrounding streets, Chuya and I benefited the most.

Because after Sato's work was finished, my house happened to be in the center of the new street.In the originally empty house, a lot of new furniture was added free of charge in those few months - all of which were hand-stitched by Zhongye's construction staff.

Because of this incident, many residents of Xinjie Street joked that "Boss Sato took great care of the two children, Zhongyuan and Angel, as if they were his own children."

This is a well-intentioned joke.

Because they all know that Chuya and I are two orphans who are very pitiful, and they are very well-behaved and sensible, so they get extra care from Mr. Sato.

It's them themselves, don't they also like to tease us on weekdays.

It's just that the words fell to the survivors of the interior who had not been renovated and were artificially abandoned, and somehow the taste changed.

Some people say that Zhong and I are also the illegitimate sons of Boss Sato, others say that Zhong and I got a sum of money from Boss Sato who left, and it is even more outrageous to say that Sato is a lover—ahem.

In short, there are all kinds of messy rumors.

I briefly summarized the key points, and concluded that the internal survivors felt that Zhong and I had obtained a "treasure", and as orphans, we had no way to keep the "treasure".

And this group of people wanted this "treasure".

I knew about this "Bai Xiaosheng" without asking Shu Ling, and Zhong Ye went out every day, so it was impossible not to hear the wind.

He didn't try to hide from me.

After explaining the pros and cons, and ridiculing the lack of brains of those people who are blind to money, Zhong also solemnly told me to be careful recently, even if the security of the new block is considered good in the entire Lei Bo Street, don't take it lightly.

He even offered to let me commute with him for easy protection.

"If you tell the police outside the street about this..."

"An Jie." His expression was a bit complicated, as if he was hesitating to expose the child's fantasy about fairy tales, but he did not lie in the end, "Here, we can't seek help from those people...we can only rely on ourselves .”

Saibo Street is synonymous with chaos.

The Metropolitan Police Department guarding outside Leibo Street is more for "surveillance" than "maintaining order".

They exist to imprison the darkness in Leibo Street, and they have never been for the sake of justice.

I know this, but Angel doesn't.

So I need this sentence to let Angel in the eyes of others understand what she can do.

Because what the residents of Leibo Street lack is not fairness and justice, but——

"It's okay, don't be afraid, Anjie." Chuya may have misunderstood my expression, and stroked my head, "I said, I will protect you."

I didn't answer, but grabbed his outstretched wrist.

For two weeks, nothing happened.

Neither I nor Chuuya breathed a sigh of relief. On the contrary, we knew that this was the calm before the storm.

Since ancient times, it is easy to harm others and difficult to prevent others.

Even if it is a new neighborhood with the best law and order, it doesn't mean that there are no robberies and robberies.Not to mention those large and small social organizations that always like to stare at the "fat sheep" in the new neighborhood.

If it weren't for Zhongye's part-time job as the "bodyguard" of Xinjie District, who showed his abilities to repel the attackers several times, Xinjie District would have fallen long ago.

——It's the same this time.

It was a good night for doing bad things, cloudless.

Some uninvited guests came to my house.

Nakaya found them a few seconds later than me, but I'm a helpless little girl now, so I leave it to him to chase the bad guys away.

The little boy first brought me out of his room to join him very quickly, and then a black and red light appeared on his body, and he directly threw the enemy who wanted to break into the gate with gravity.

Afterwards, he discovered that the enemy's associates were sneaking into my room.

He rejoiced in his heart that it was prescient to bring me out, and then hesitated for a while between taking me back to his room to face the intruder together and going alone.

Of course, he chose to go alone in the end.

After all, he didn't dare to use all his strength when I was there, and the hall was just cleaned up, so it was considered safe.

"Wait for me here." He took me to the corner near the door, took off a glove, "call me if you have any questions."

It only takes a few seconds to rush back from the next door.

I blinked and nodded obediently.

Then watched him rush to the next door angrily, trying to throw the intruder out again.

However, Zhong also underestimated the enemy's scheming.

"—don't move, don't shout."

I felt the cold blade on my neck, and I couldn't help but think that this martial artist was really careless, "Tell me where the 'treasure' is, and I can spare you."

Judging by the voice, it should be about the same age as Chuya.

The male voice, which has not yet reached the voice-changing period, sounds a bit indistinguishable from male and female, but as soon as the fierce tone comes out, you can clearly feel the difference from the girl.

"You've been hiding in the kitchen storage cupboard?"

Because we were wary of people targeting us for rumors, Zhongya and I stayed together except for sleeping time, and even ate outside instead (referring to the position where Zhongye was on guard at work) and then went home after eating.

The only place where I can hide from me and not notice the sound of breathing is the kitchen.The only place where people can hide in the kitchen is the storage cabinet under the boiler.

"Don't change the subject!" The boy who threatened me lowered his voice, and I felt his hands trembling indistinctly, "Don't say I'll kill you!"

I lowered my eyes slightly.

While silently counting back the time, I did not forget to save myself.

"Boss Sato did take good care of me and Nakaya-san, but he didn't leave any property for us."

"Huh? Do you think I'm easy to deceive?"

"...The last money from the construction team has been donated to the orphanage by Boss Sato. Aunt Teresa took in a few more orphans a week ago. The money must have been spent long ago."

The person behind him was breathless for a moment, but he didn't put down the knife in his hand.

Do you think five-year-olds can't tell lies?

But I can't believe I can say these words so fluently.And I have also become a liar, so I doubt the original judgment... oh?It seems that he was once a good baby.

"Is this the rhetoric that I have thought about a long time ago? Do you think I will believe you?"

The pose that threatens me is very smooth, and it seems to be about the same height as me, slightly taller than me.

He seldom does threatening things, so he uses a fierce tone to cover up his unfamiliarity and panic when talking.

trembling?

Come back in fear, but he didn't know that with Zhongye's strength, it would take less than a minute to deal with the intruder next door.

The Knife at the Vital Point...

It should be because I have been hungry for a long time, but the strength of pressing the knife is good, but it is heavy and light.

"—You'd better put away the knife."

"What are you talking about stupid—"

Click.

The small knife that was originally closer to my neck was bounced off by gravity, bent, and finally broke into several pieces.

The boy who threatened me had already fallen to the ground in fright at this scene.

I just looked back at him at this time, but I felt that he looked very familiar.

"How dare you—"

"Brother Zhongye!"

I didn't have time to be surprised, and immediately ran to Chuya's side, and hugged his hand that had taken off the glove.

As if he had been electrocuted, the red light on his body dissipated immediately, and his hands were put down stiffly.

Probably wanting to divert his attention, he reached out and squeezed the prisoner he had captured, and threw him on the boy who threatened me.

The two intruders fell together in embarrassment.

"Trouble us one after another, and I told you that there is nothing you want here!" The dissipated red light came on again, and it was obvious that Zhong was very angry at their finding fault, "It seems that my attack was still too light, and I didn't give it to you." Your impressive lesson—”

"—You can't kill us!!"

"what?"

"We are from Yamada-sama!"

Yamada?

What kind of passerby is that.

I have never heard of this surname, but Chuya's expression is even more ugly, obviously knowing what he is talking about.

Intruder A (a tall man brought by Nakaya) who discovered this showed a smug expression indistinctly, "If you dare to kill us, Mr. Yamada will lead people to level the new block tomorrow!"

"Yamada? Oh, it seems to be the leader of the organization Seven." Shuling talked to me vigorously.

"...Why are you so proficient?"

"Because the wealthy businessman who bought your card is the cash machine of Chief Yamada."

understood.

It's still your book spirit cow.

I glanced at the two intruders who separated.

Silver-haired, gray-eyed intruder B gritted his teeth and said nothing, while brown-haired, black-eyed intruder A met my observing eyes with complacency.

……Oh?

I found an interesting thing.

Maybe we can catch big fish and improve our current life.

"Brother Zhongye." I pretended not to see the same look in the intruder A's eyes as when I saw a pile of gold at hand, but said to Zhongye, "Let them go."

"Anjie!" Chuya frowned, unable to understand my behavior, "Let them go and they will only get worse! At least—"

In front of me, he couldn't say anything serious.

According to Chuya's idea, although they will not be killed, they must not be let go, at least they must be punished, such as breaking an arm or a leg.

Just letting go like I said, even Zhong knows it is the worst policy.

"But I will be retaliated." I lowered my head slightly, hiding the emotion in my eyes, "I have brother Zhongye, but Aunt Teresa and others don't... Anjie doesn't want to involve them."

Zhong also paused for a rebuttal.

I understand.

He didn't think about killing people.

Obviously this is the best solution, but he never thought about it.

"Ha! That's right!" Intruder A laughed loudly, "You should dedicate the treasure to—"

The gravity of Zhongye made the intruder A shut up immediately.

He seemed to remember that he was facing a person with supernatural powers. He didn't get up in a cold sweat until he was threatened with his life again, and chose to run away in fear of death.

"—Hey, little brother."

Just when intruder B was about to flee, I stopped him.

He hesitated for a moment, glanced at his eyes vigilantly, and then replied impatiently and with a little fear, "What are you doing?!"

"If you don't like it, don't force yourself." I saw his eyes widen, so I smiled at him without any haze, "It's okay if you don't know how to continue. If you have any difficulties, you can find us. Aunt Teresa will definitely help you." I will welcome you—ah, don’t worry about being bullied by them, because Chuya-san is very strong!”

"...you should think about yourselves first." The little boy twitched his lips, as if he was a little disdainful.

But I saw his hand covering the bruise very hard, as if he was suppressing some emotion, "The senior management of Seven has cooperated with the port Mafia, and the weapons in their hands are enough to kill all the residents of the new block."

After stepping out of the gate, he added viciously, "Hand over the treasure, and you can continue to maintain the illusion of peace in the new neighborhood!"

"These guys—!"

Chuya clenched his five fingers, obviously worried that the other party would really threaten us with the residents.

"Don't worry." I comforted him, "Brother Zhongye, nothing will happen...whether it's the 'treasure' or the organization, everything will be fine, trust me."

He didn't know why I could say that, but he was willing to believe me.

That is inherent trust.

So he calms down for a moment and thinks about what we should do if they really want revenge.

I consulted with him, occasionally unsolicited questions.

He didn't think I was unthinking because I was young, and I didn't ignore his thoughts because I had God's perspective, which is why our trust has been maintained.

"Although they let go to protect others and maintain Angel's 'kindness', this kind of kindness is too weak and will only kill everyone, right?" Shu Ling listened to our discussion, with a tone of doubting my IQ Said, "Isn't it agreed to be limited by people?"

"It has nothing to do with the character design." I replied, "If it was really for the character design, I would have cried and asked why they did bad things."

Shu Ling was shocked by my answer.

As if thinking of some ancient plot, it hissed with a stomachache.

I ignored it, it was pretend anyway.

As for why let them go?

Not because of fear of reprisal.

It's just that I recognized this silver-haired and gray-eyed intruder B (the boy who threatened me) as the well-known white-eyed wolf in the original book, Shirase.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Take a note of the timeline.

This year: Angel is 12 years old, Nakahara Chuya is 26 years old (Osamu Dazai is the same age), Akutagawa Ryunosuke is 11 years old, Nakajima Atsushi is 13 years old, Ozaki Momiji is 12 years old, Mori Ogai (30 years old) and Yosano Akiko ([-] years old) was sent to Changan Island as a military doctor.At this time, Oda Sakunosuke ([-] years old) will meet Natsume Soseki in one year, and Edogawa Ranpo ([-] years old) will meet Fukuzawa Yukichi ([-] years old) in two years.

Three years later: Edogawa Ranpo and Fukuzawa Yukichi opened a detective agency and obtained a license to open with special abilities.Mori Ogai (29 years old, 14 years old with Yosano Akiko at this time) has returned to China due to defeat and will get out of the isolation field with Yosano Akiko and become the exclusive physician of the leader of Mafia at the port.

Three more years: Angel is 11 years old, Chuya Nakahara is 14 years old, and Mori Ogai becomes the leader of the port Mafia.

Another year: Achieve the story line of the original "Double Black 15 Years Old".

Mr. Sato is a construction boss who has a little bit of power and is better than ordinary kindness.He will appear in the future, but it will be a long time later (his identity background is the reason why most people will believe that the heroine has a treasure).

[About the "Sheep" organization and its members]

Shuling: My child, I just need to teach slowly.

Hostess: Of course, I will educate them well.

Author Sang: What kind of armed organization is it called? These are a group of ignorant lambs who are about to fall into the mouth of wolves.

The heroine has already written the script, don't panic, watch her act.

Another piece of cold knowledge is that Angel has no supernatural powers, but the heroine has not lost her memory of the fighting skills she learned from Shier, so she didn't panic when Shirase threatened her (although she didn't want to use it to maintain the character design).

The last thing I said in the last chapter was to explain the plot arrangement here.

Shirose is set in this volume as an orphan who survived the explosion. When he lived alone, he not only learned to steal and rob, but also changed from an ordinary child to a "qualified" who just looked away and learned to be indifferent when he saw people die. A resident of Leibo Street.In the end, he really couldn't survive (he couldn't grab other adults), so he joined □□Seven in order not to starve to death (that is, there is still a little conscience left).
