The Holy Grail of Self-discipline Xiawuren

When the deputy director and I were preparing dinner, Dunjun and the director came back.

Dun Jun, who was walking side by side with the dean, had a relaxed smile on his face, waving his hands and gesticulating to the other party. Except for the slight moisture in the corners of his eyes, he looked more energetic than before.

And the dean also patiently listened to Dun Jun's ramblings with a smile in his eyes, and occasionally asked questions based on the other party's words.

"Excuse me, excuse me, the children are about to leave get out of class, but the dinner is not ready yet, can you ask the dean and Dun Jun to stop chatting and help us prepare dinner?"

The deputy dean held a spoon with a dark smile and was very 'friendly'.

"...Okay, now."

Intimidated by the deputy dean's terrifying aura, Dun Jun swallowed the words in his throat, ran to the stove and began to stir-fry the dishes in the pot.

Except for me who was completely useless for washing vegetables, I silently lowered my head and tried to clean the vegetables in the basin as much as possible.

Hurrying and hurrying, a group of people finally prepared dinner when the children in the orphanage finished their classes.

Each child can get a bowl of rice, a bowl of miso soup and a side dish of half vegetable and half chicken, but after adding the small cakes and snacks we brought, the dinner becomes richer in an instant.

"Wow, I'm so happy to have cake to eat!"

"Thank you, Brother Dun and 'Mr. Magician'!"

The well-behaved children queuing up to receive their dinner, after getting their own portion, will be very serious to thank Dun Jun and me who are in charge of distributing the dinner.

"They're good boys."

I didn't expect that I would be thanked, and I was a little moved.

"Well, you're all nice people."

Dun Jun, who lived in an orphanage since he was a child, felt it even more deeply.

After distributing the children's dinners, there was some food left over, and although the dishes were simple, they were enough for the adults.

"These vegetables have a great taste."

I swallowed the side dish in my mouth.

My compliment made the vice president laugh, and she nodded in a sympathetic way.

"Because all of us help grow these vegetables together, and the children usually help take care of them. Vegetables grown with care are always the best."

"So that's it, it's really amazing."

I have learned a little more about how this orphanage can last for so long with insufficient sponsorship.

In the orphanage where Dun Jun lived, not only the dean and vice-principals are doing their best to maintain the expenses and find ways to increase income;

The children also worked very hard to do what they could. While taking care of themselves, they also took care of the younger children responsibly, trying not to cause unnecessary trouble to other people in the orphanage.

Just like after dinner, the children don't run away with a wipe of their mouths, but go to the sink to wash the dishes in pairs according to the combination of one big and one small.

The older children cleaned the tableware, and the younger children took the tableware and sent them back to the cabinet on the side of the cafeteria hall.If the younger children fail to put it away, the older children will help put it in order and then leave together.

"Is this the rule set by the dean?"

I also followed the example of those children and took my dinner plate to the pool. Dunjun and I finished our meal at about the same time, so he simply followed me and walked with me.

"Well, because there are a lot of children in the orphanage, and the director and the others are not enough to take care of every child, so they came up with this mutual aid method."

Dun Jun nodded, and after he squeezed two drops of the detergent onto his plate, he handed it to me.

I took the bottle, kept pace and carefully squeezed two drops onto the plate, and then made foam with a small amount of water and rubbing with my fingers.

"Then where is the person who helped Dunjun before? Are the children that Dunjun brought up after he grows up now in the orphanage or have they gone out to make a living like you?"

"...No, I used to be alone in a room, and the director would give me food..."

It seemed that this question touched Dun Jun's privacy, and his originally relaxed expression became gloomy.

"Feel sorry……"

I said something dryly.

"……It's ok."

Dun Jun raised the corners of his mouth hard, and speeded up the action of cleaning the tableware.

"Because I couldn't control myself at that time, it was the safest thing to stay alone in a room. Okay, after cleaning, let's put the dishes back."

Dun Jun straightened up, gave up the space by the pool, and stood aside to wait.

I sent the plate under the running water to rinse it several times, and after confirming that there was no foam left, I also gave up my place to the children who lined up behind me.

Because Atsushi still has work and I want to return to Hakone as soon as possible, after playing with the children for an hour, we headed for Yokohama as the night began to fall.

"Thank you, 'Mr. Magician'. If it wasn't for 'Mr. Magician', I wouldn't have the guts to go back to the orphanage to visit everyone, and I wouldn't know that the dean didn't think I was a waste before driving me away. of."

When we walked halfway, Dunjun suddenly began to pour out his thoughts to me.

"I used to get into trouble when I was in the orphanage. At that time, I didn't know that I was locked up because of getting into trouble. I just thought that I was hated by the dean, so I was locked up. .

You can't play with the children in the orphanage, you can't go outside the room at will, you can't get enough food for every meal, and you can't go to the library to read until late at night when everyone is asleep... …

I thought these were painful memories at first, but I didn’t expect to feel a little relieved and nostalgic when I think about them today. It’s so strange. "

Dun Jun, who was touching his heart, showed a puzzled look.

"Because no matter how painful the past has been, the orphanage is your home, and the dean and the others are all your family members, so Dun Jun, you should feel at ease."

What I said made Dun Jun's purple-gold eyes widen. He was extremely dazed, and stood there with a blank expression.

"...Is that so? It turns out...the orphanage is my home...I also have a family..."

Dun Jun, who mechanically repeated my words, burst into tears while speaking, he pressed his hands to his heart, crying and laughing, the dim street lamp hit his back, and he was illuminated into a small black film.

Looking at Dun Jun who was crying bitterly, a religious school suddenly flashed in my mind, there were several figures in black and blue uniforms, and a burly man who was always stabbing villains, and occasionally There will be little girls running around with faces that cannot be seen clearly.

'Where is my home, my family? '

I raised my head and looked towards the dark sky. There was a moon hanging on it that was not bright, not a full moon, and was half covered by dark clouds.

'The sky in Yokohama is not as beautiful as the night in Hakone. '

"Let's go, Dunjun, don't you still have tasks to complete?"

I kicked the person next to me, who followed my strength and stood up, frantically wiping the tears on his face with his sleeve.

"...I'm sorry for letting you see such an embarrassing scene of me."

Dun Jun with his face sideways tried to clean his face, but unfortunately he cried so ugly just now, there were not only tears but also other liquids, in short, his face is as dirty as his gray sleeves now .

I didn't care about his little mess, and walked a few steps forward, leaving him with my back.

"Yokohama looks very prosperous. Why is there an orphanage with such a poor environment around it? Not only does it not have a stable income, but it also doesn't seem to have the support of the government. Could it be a private orphanage?"

Walking ahead with my sleeves in my hands, I suddenly remembered this question.

"It is indeed private. It was an orphanage established by the dean when he was young. Because Yokohama was still in war at that time, the government was unable to supervise this aspect, so it has always been up to the dean to find sponsors alone. .”

After a heart-to-heart chat with the dean, Dun Jun gained a deeper understanding of the orphanage where he grew up.

"Isn't Yokohama's economy getting better now? The government doesn't care?"

"This... because the city hall of Yokohama pays more attention to the issue of people with supernatural powers and mafia..."

When it came to this question, Dun Jun swept away his previous ease and became a little depressed.

"Speaking of which, Tun-kun, the armed detective agency you are currently working for can contact the government."

"Ah, it seems so."

"Since you can contact the government, why don't you act as a middleman and apply for subsidies from the government to be distributed to the orphanage, so that everyone will not have to live so hard."

"Hey?!! Is it okay?!"

Dun Jun jumped in front of me in surprise, forgetting the colorful face he tried to hide before.

"How will you know if you don't try? Anyway, if you can contact the government, don't waste your contacts in this area. Even if the government is only doing it for good performance, it will be the orphanage that will get actual benefits. This is not a big deal. Losing business."

"However, I've only joined the detective agency not long ago, and I haven't made any contribution to the detective agency. Would it be too ungrateful to bring it up like this?"

The colorful-faced Dunjun lowered his shoulders.

"It's okay, first ask your president what you mean. If it's feasible, it's also feasible for you to consider the remuneration you need to pay."

"That's right, if it doesn't work, I will, I will make a wish to the 'Holy Grail' so that everyone in the orphanage can have enough food every day!"

"It's really a great ambition, but Dunjun, are you sure you can get the 'Holy Grail'?"

"...Ah, I will try my best, try my best..."

Probably thinking of the opponents he had to face, Dun Jun lowered his shoulders again, and the belt around his waist was draped on the ground.

"Let's not talk about Mr. Ranpo and Mr. Dazai, but there is the Central Plains Chuya at the port mafia... It's over, I feel that the hope of winning the 'Holy Grail' is extremely slim..."

Dun Jun, who has recognized the cruel facts, is full of lovelessness.

The author has something to say: 20 words, I don’t know if 10 words can finish this story, I always feel like I’m writing more and more, it’s so strange...how come I have so many things to write in my mind(」゜ロ゜) "

And, maybe there will be a little cutie asking: "We are going to fight the 'Holy Grail War', why do you still write such a small daily life?", but in my opinion, this small daily life is very important, it contains a series of Xia's Psychological changes and the choices that need to be faced.

Each choice means that Xia will face a different future in the future. No matter how she chooses, I hope Xia can achieve her goal, and I will accompany Xia to the end.
