The bosses cry and put down the butcher knife

The former juvenile killer will always remember that after he took away the three-year-old girl at the scene of the fire, the other party's reaction when she woke up was much calmer than he imagined.She accepted the news of her mother's death almost immediately (and Sakunosuke Oda didn't even know what "tactful" was at the time), and tried calling him "brother?"

Although he has never really gotten along with children from ordinary families, as a human being, he understands that this is not normal.

Until the two had their first breakfast together, in the shop downstairs of the hotel where Oda Sakunosuke rented.Because he didn't know if a three-year-old girl could eat independently, he also asked.

The girl nodded obediently and said, "I can use a spoon."

Breakfast was light porridge and side dishes. After thinking about it, he confirmed that there was no milk in the store, so he ordered an egg for the three-year-old girl.

The girl who was called Xianyuan Miyuki at that time said thank you, dragged the porridge in her own bowl to her face, and took a mouthful very skillfully.Oda Sakunosuke made sure she didn't spill the porridge, so he lowered his head and started drinking his portion.

While drinking, he suddenly... heard some unusual sounds.

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

The porridge bowl in the store was too big for a three-year-old girl, causing her to bury her head in it when she lowered her head to drink the porridge.But now, a light and thin choking sound came from the bowl opposite.

It's not loud, but neighbors can still hear it.This area is basically ordinary residents in the vicinity. Since there are two residential areas dominated by elderly residents on the opposite side, there are many retirees in their 60s and [-]s who come here for breakfast.

"Ah, what's the matter? Let me see, why are you crying?"

The customer sitting behind Kanin Miyuki—or opposite to Sakunosuke Oda—is a woman who looks to be in her 60s or [-]s.Her hair was dyed black, and her clothes were quite smart, but after noticing the little girl behind her, her expression softened significantly.

Kanin Miyuki raised her head from the bowl, and the spoon fell to the side with a clang, tears welled up on her round face:

"No... woo woo... I just miss my mother... woo woo..."

The woman seemed a little surprised. She glanced at the boy sitting opposite the girl, and then frowned:

"Missing my mother? Who is eating with you? Is it your brother?"

"Wuuuuu, mother is gone, don't want me anymore...he...he is my father...uuuuu..."

"..."

The lady looked at Sakunosuke Oda with an incredulous look, focusing on his boyish face and scanning back and forth a few times.Then he lowered his head and looked at the little girl who was only two or three years old at most.

Finally, he showed an expression of "the world is getting worse and people's hearts are not old, I am really old, and I don't understand the young people today".

Oda Sakunosuke: "..."

Fine.

As long as he is not regarded as a human trafficker, he can be his father.

In the end, the woman looked at the girl who was desperately wiping away her tears, and then at the man opposite with a stiff and indifferent face.She took out a piece of paper to let the former wipe away his tears, and couldn't hold back a sigh and said:

"Since it's the father of the baby, let's coax your daughter! Do you really think raising children is a woman's business? Oh, let me tell you, are you an adult? It's inconvenient to take your daughter alone, and there are still many things to consider in the future , don't..."

Oda Sakunosuke, male, 14 years old.

When I have just washed my hands in the golden basin, there are still four years before I am a legal adult, I have never thought about love-related matters, and marriage is at least ten years before I need to think about it.

I met legends all over the world, although they have never really practiced kung fu for a day, they can climb stairs and smash light tubes, and they can clear sewers;

Retired aunt.

***

Two years ago, when three-year-old Kanin Miyuki cried into tears at breakfast for the first time, the former teenage killer Oda Sakunosuke could only sit stiffly on the stool, not even knowing how to stretch his arms.

I was also crammed by an enthusiastic aunt passing by for a full 10 minutes (no use) of parenting lessons.

And two years later, when the five-year-old Oda Miyuki opened his loud voice, the 16-year-old boy, who had been eroded by the years and bills into the prototype of an uncle, said in a tone that saw through everything:

"Miyuki, so you just don't want to go to kindergarten."

"..."

The girl's crying stopped abruptly.

Then, the room fell into an awkward silence.

"I just want Asuke to comfort me... No matter what the reason is, when you see your lovely daughter crying, but only feel at a loss by the side, you are not qualified! Besides, Asuke is burning again Dropped the milk pot."

The logic of what he said was upside down, but at this age, talking so much can already be called a "miracle".

Oda Sakunosuke, who is accustomed to this, selectively skipped the other party's incomprehensible complaints, and brought the topic back to the original point:

"I'll comfort you, and then you go to kindergarten obediently?"

"But, but the idiot Asuke can't comfort people at all, okay?! And, even if you comfort me, I don't want to... go..."

As if feng shui turned, this time the voice was muted while talking, and turned into a little girl with red eyes.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at her, trying to be more patient.

Perhaps in the childhood of many children, there was an experience of "fighting wits and courage" with their parents in order not to go to kindergarten.

Staying in bed, pretending to be sick, crying and saying that someone is bullying me... But these will always be resolved by the adults, and eventually obediently (or reluctantly) will be taken out of the house, and then desperately turned into an octopus at the gate of the kindergarten.

As the help of Oda Sakunosuke, who was not a child of this type, he obviously did not have this experience.But after excluding the status of "parent", he is much more sensitive than most people.

So the 16-year-old boy sat down on the sofa next to him and made a heart-to-heart look: "A classmate... kid, did you say anything to you?"

In fact, Oda Sakunosuke had already guessed it. After all, since sending the girl to kindergarten last year, although Oda Miyuki was a bit repelled at first, she almost forced herself to get used to this kind of life.

As a five-year-old girl, Oda Miyuki is inherently easy to raise.It should be said that all her overly lively or almost shameless acting like a baby only appeared in the range of "innocuous".

And now suddenly showing an extremely uncooperative attitude, repeatedly mentioning the "expenses" issue that should not have been thought of at this age...

"Obviously two years ago, because of my milk powder and diapers, I have already spent a lot of savings, and the kindergarten fees are so expensive." Oda Miyuki didn't want to tell the truth, but he didn't dare to lie, so he could only say aggrievedly, "Ah The assistant has been resigned for two months, and, besides, I am not your own..."

Sure enough, I heard someone say something... This doesn't seem to be a very strange thing.

Oda Sakunosuke sighed, rubbed the girl's short white hair, and then hugged her into his arms: "I planned to wait until your birthday, but it seems a bit late now-I found a new job Work, just last week."

Oda Miyuki originally tried to refuse this hug, but stopped when he heard this sentence: "New job?"

"Well, it's a group called 'PortMafia'. It's an ordinary low-level job. I heard that the content is a bit cumbersome, but it's not dangerous--the most important thing is that the salary is three times that of before, not only enough for you to go to kindergarten, We don’t need to go to the supermarket to buy specials after [-] o’clock in the future.”

Oda Miyuki's eyes were wide open, as if suspecting that he might be lying: "Hey - such a good company, how did an idiot like Asuke get in?"

Oda Sakunosuke was a little helpless: "I'm not that useless, anyway, before..."

However, it's better not to talk about the experience that I don't like to recall in front of my children.

So in the end he just got up from the sofa, put the girl on the ground and stood up, and scratched her nose unskillfully: "Now, can I go to kindergarten?"
