Poverty Alleviation Princess 2

Oda Sakunosuke came to the hospital according to the address.

"Just tell me what's going on, Dazai."

"Oh, what a coincidence."

A boy in a black suit came out from behind the pillar, and waved happily to his friend.

"I didn't expect to be with Oda Saku. I saw from my subordinates who were fishing at work that today's magazine said that something good will happen when we go out. It turned out to be true."

Although the blood on his head had stained the bandages on his face red, the boy's tone was still brisk.

"This is……"

Oda Sakunosuke didn't pay attention to the TV he was talking about, but stared at the blood on the boy's head.

This position, a little deviation will be a fatal injury.

Was it another dangerous mission assigned to him?

As the bottom-level Oda Sakunosuke, it is difficult to imagine how dangerous what the "cadres" experienced would be.But just relying on imagination and a few words when chatting with colleagues, I also know that it must be a bloody storm unimaginable by ordinary people.

"Are you watching this?"

Noticing where his friend's gaze stayed, the boy pointed to his head.

"It's dangerous."

"I accidentally bumped my head." The young man sighed.

"Because the river looks very clear today, when I was thinking about where to enter the water, someone walked by holding a metal cabinet, and I bumped into the corner as soon as I looked up."

"It's really super-painful." The black-haired boy's handsome face twisted into an exaggerated expression. "At that time, it was dark, and I thought I was going to die. It was already in such pain, why didn't I die?"

"It's so painful but still not dead, isn't that too much? It's too much, right!"

Pain but not death, this is not playing hooligans!

"Ahhh - what a pity, it would have been better if the collision position was a little bit off, then he should have died."

People can't tell whether it's complaining, acting like a baby, or venting words keep pouring out of his mouth.The boy's expression was rich and exaggerated, but his eyes were like a bottomless abyss.

There was only desolation and dead silence.

The red-haired youth looked at his young friend and sighed.

"Anyway."

"Ok?"

"Let's bandage the wound first." It's not a problem to keep bleeding.

So before completing the goal, Oda Sakunosuke accompanied Dazai Osamu to bandage the wound.

Because the wound was a bit large, stitches were stitched.

When Oda Sakunosuke paid the fee and came back, the boy's treatment was over.

The re-wrapped bandage firmly covered the wound, and the snow-white color against the boy's complexion was almost white to transparent.He sat on the edge of the bed, propped his chin and looked out the window, his handsome face was full of boredom and exhaustion that didn't match his age.

And all of that melted like snow when Oda Sakunosuke came back.

"Are you back? Let me tell you, that doctor just now..."

The boy kept talking as usual, as if everything before was just his illusion.

The two walked out of the consulting room and walked along the corridor of the hospital.

"By the way, what is Odasaku here for?"

"Patient visit."

"Children."

Although Oda Sakunosuke did not disclose anything, Dazai Osamu made a quick judgment.

Looking at Oda Sakunosuke's eyes of "how do you know", he shrugged his shoulders.

"Oda Zuo doesn't have many friends. Among the recent events, the only thing that needs to be cared about is the 'Happy Festival'... and all the things you bring are snacks and toys."

"In combination, the answer is that you came to see the child who was sacrificed."

Oda Sakunosuke blinked.

"Yes."

Oda Sakunosuke's tone was as flat as ever, but Osamu Dazai could hear a trace of admiration from it.

But that's about it.

There is no admiration of 'really amazing', nor the anxiety of 'being seen through'.

The attitude of young people is still so natural.

It's as if everything is 'ordinary'.

"As expected of Odasaku."

Dazaiji murmured.

Oda Sakunosuke, who didn't understand the connection, tilted his head slightly.

"It's okay, let's go and see that child together."

Osamu Dazai took the lead to go up the stairs. Obviously Oda Sakunosuke didn't tell him his destination, but he seemed to know it a long time ago.

"Maybe I can still help."

"Because he is a person with supernatural powers, he was placed in a special ward here."

Although people with supernatural abilities have become a part of daily life, as a "minority and dangerous" group, the hospital still needs to do some preventive work.

"Is the child all right?"

"We have treated the injured part, but malnutrition and the like still need to be recuperated." The doctor who led the way paused, "Other things...we can't do anything."

As a person with supernatural abilities, the damage is the lightest.After all, physical injuries can always be healed or mitigated.

"I see, thank you."

Oda Sakunosuke thanked softly.

"It's here."

He led the two of them to a closed door.

Compared to the rest of the wards, this individual ward is finer...and sturdier.

The door alone is much thicker than other places.

"If you need anything, you can ring the bell to call me."

After speaking, the doctor left first.

Oda Sakunosuke hesitated at the door, knocked on the door and walked in.

"Hello."

He paused, and then put the snacks and toys he brought on the cabinet next to the hospital bed.

"I'm here to see you."

Hearing his voice, the thin young man on the hospital bed turned his head and looked at him awkwardly.But he just watched and didn't speak.

"This is the Kopei candy that Kosuke and Sakulet asked me to bring to you."

As the red-haired youth spoke, he took out a bottle from his bag.It is full of sweets as beautiful as stars.It's like bringing the stars together.

For the first time, a flickering brilliance appeared in the eyes of the numb boy.

He looked at the small bottle and moved his hand.Oda Sakunosuke didn't miss this small movement, he leaned over and put the bottle in the boy's hand.

"Just to see him."

Dazai was not so careful.

He leaned over to look at the young man, then shook his head.

"It's a bit difficult to work in the port mafia in this state."

Although he is a person with supernatural powers, he can't see the effect of the ability. The information only says that his body has a part that looks like a beast. In addition, he has suffered a long period of abuse before, and his mental state is also very bad.

I can't see the viciousness now...

It would be time consuming to retrain.

No matter how handsome and harmless he looks, the boy's reputation as the "youngest cadre of the port mafia" is due to his real skills and achievements.

Even "people related to friends" will make judgments coldly and notarized.

Even if you know your words will hurt people.

—He is such a person.

"No, Dazai." Oda Sakunosuke shook his head, "I'm not going to let him join the port mafia."

"Eh?" This was beyond Osamu Dazai's expectation.

"Not to mention, he is a person with supernatural powers. And he is an orphan—an orphan with no other ability to survive."

Life is hard for orphans.

Especially those with different abilities.

Some people are afraid of supernatural powers, while others desire supernatural powers.If he doesn't care about it like this, it is inevitable that people who are eyeing his superpowers will attack him.

And in the matter of torturing people to make them obedient.

What people can do is often beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Dazai didn't think the kid, who had a bad experience, could survive without shelter.

"I know."

Oda Sakunosuke said softly.

It is precisely because I know that I was so entangled before.

Ability is a double-edged sword.

While bringing great power, it also puts oneself in danger.

This is especially true for unsheltered children.

If he didn't see it, he might not care about it, but if he saw it, it would be hard for him to pretend that it never happened.

But Oda Sakunosuke also knows that with his ability, adopting a few ordinary children is already the limit.So he has been hesitating, at a loss.

Because he didn't know what to do to really help this child, or the children of people with supernatural powers like this child.

——Including now, he actually still doesn't have a complete idea.

But no matter what, it's better than not doing well.

Oda Sakunosuke said to the child lying on the hospital bed:

"My name is Oda Sakunosuke, do you remember me?"

The child still looked at him dumbly, but the light in his eyes was brighter than before.

"I want to take you back. Although I don't have much money, I may not be able to give you a rich life."

"But I'll take care of you until you find the life you want—so will you come with me?"

The child didn't answer right away.There seemed to be a 'troubled' expression on his numb face, as if he couldn't understand what Oda Sakunosuke was saying.

Oda Sakunosuke didn't expect him to respond to him just once.

'No rejection' is a good start.

After talking for a while, Oda Sakunosuke left with Dazai Osamu when the boy began to look tired.

"This is really..."

It wasn't until he left that Osamu Dazai couldn't help sighing.

But... this is Odasaku.

He always has his own stubborn persistence in wonderful places, and he always speaks amazingly when he looks inconspicuous.

There's nothing wrong with that either.

—he kinda wondered what the hell he could do.

Said how to do...

"Of course it is to set up relevant institutions."

"Such as orphanages, or foundations." A Yuan, an old skilled worker, immediately gave the answer.

"It mainly depends on which model you want more."

"Welfare home? Foundation?" Oda Sakunosuke, who hesitated for a long time and finally chose to ask A Yuan for help, was a little confused.

"Yes, if your goal is to help children with supernatural powers or special powers, you can build an orphanage for such children, or a foundation dedicated to serving these children."

Ah Yuan nodded affirmatively.

"Can you?"

The red-haired youth was still a little bit stunned.

He obviously just wanted to ask a way to help that child... or other children who had the same experience as him, so how did he get promoted to the orphanage and the foundation?

No matter which one of these two is, it is a very distant thing for Oda Sakunosuke.Especially 'Foundation', which is almost equivalent to 'only heard but not seen'.

do you know?

know.

But if you want to say that you understand the operating model or have participated in it, you definitely don’t have it.

A Yuan smiled: "Of course, this is a public welfare undertaking. Even if it is for the sake of better political performance, the government will support it... Although the procedures may be a little troublesome, but now that Peng Gelie is investing here , and the port mafia and the Yokohama government are all in the honeymoon period, so it’s not a big problem.”

"If you can use the power of the port mafia properly, it will be 'no problem'."

Money can turn ghosts, if money is not good, then there is still life.

Life is gone, so naturally there is no need to discuss whether it is a problem or not.

As the saying goes, if you can't solve the problem, you can't solve the person who caused the problem?

"I like that statement!"

In the bar, Osamu Dazai patted his thigh to welcome him.

"It's easier to solve people than it is to solve problems."

"I really hope everyone knows this. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who lost their lives in a daze."

The boy's slender and beautiful fingers flicked lightly on the glass, and the ice cubes in the glass "crashed" as if responding to him.

"Especially those old and stubborn people who can understand this truth, wouldn't it be good to end their lives well? It doesn't look like they are tired of living and don't want to live anymore."

"So?" The bandaged boy lay on the bar counter and looked at his friend.

"What is Odasaku thinking?"

"I don't know which is better, but I want to do it."

Oda Sakunosuke said seriously.

With his current situation, it is difficult to continue to be his low-level handyman.

Don't talk about what he wants to do or not, just talk about the current situation, it is impossible for the clerk to assign jobs to himself normally.As for those business matters, he didn't know anything at all.

If you go there, you can only sit awkwardly, and maybe it will disturb other people's original work.

Rather than doing things that he is not good at or interested in, or doing nothing to get a salary, he wants to try to do something that can help others within his ability.

— At least, it's better than doing nothing.

"It seems to be saying something interesting."

A gentle voice came from the door.

An elegant young man with glasses walked in.The bar is not big, and you can see the people sitting in front of the bar at a glance when you enter the gate.

"What's going on today?"

There was no agreement but a miraculous encounter - it was like the "fate" that people have already said so badly.

"Ah, I'm talking about Odasaku's future."

Osamu Dazai got up and greeted the young man who came in.

"Odasaku, you have someone important."

Ango Sakaguchi blinked: "Then... congratulations?"

He responded cautiously.

Of course it is a good thing that Oda-kun has important people, but the words are coming from Dazai-kun... so it has to be discounted a little.

"Thank you."

Oda Sakunosuke expressed his gratitude plainly.

Is it true?

This time Ango Sakaguchi was really surprised.

"Same as usual." After Ango Sakaguchi finished speaking, he sat side by side with the two in front of the bar.

"So, are you here today to celebrate Oda-kun finding someone important?"

Although Ango Sakaguchi was curious, it was not polite to ask directly.He could only bury this curiosity in his stomach.

"Half and half."

The first to answer was Dazai Osamu.

"Right, Odasaku?"

"Yes." The honest man Oda Sakunosuke nodded.

Although it is a bit discrepant, it is not wrong to say so.

"And what's the other half?"

"I want to ask Dazai about something." Because there was nothing to hide, Oda Sakunosuke told Sakaguchi Ango about the matter.

Ango Sakaguchi was stunned for a while, before saying, "It's a good thing."

He had come to the Port Mafia as an undercover agent for so long, and he never imagined that he would encounter such a thing one day.

But whether it's out of consideration for friends, or simply just talking about it.

He thought it was a very good thing.

The bookish young man is not good at complimenting, so he just said: "If there is anything that needs help, you can tell me."

He is more than willing to help him with this work.

"Thank you."

The corner of Oda Sakunosuke's mouth curled into a gentle arc.

He raised his wine glass.

"To Odasaku and his new job."

Osamu Dazai also raised his glass in response.

Ango Sakaguchi, who arrived at the end, also raised his glass: "Then I will... get a new job and success."

cheers.

No one said that.

But the three wine glasses still bumped into each other.

The red-haired youth walked out of the bar.

The light from the street lamp outside the bar shone on him, as if lighting a new path for him.

Because it was Oda Sakunosuke's rare request for help, things progressed faster than people imagined.

A Yuan, Peng Gelie, and the port mafia have all taken action, and the Yokohama government will naturally not be ignorant.

From registration to site selection... a series of matters are proceeding in an orderly manner like pressing the accelerator button.

And contrary to everyone's expectations, it was not Osamu Dazai and Ango Sakaguchi who were friends with Sakunosuke Oda that the port mafia asked to cooperate with them.

It is another cadre "Central Plains Zhongye".

"Although it's a slug, there's nothing wrong with doing physical work—if you encounter any problems in the middle, just throw him out."

by Osamu Dazai's information.

It was also at this time that A Yuan came into contact with the cadres of the port mafia for the first time.

but……

"Mr. Chuya Nakahara, and Mr. Osamu Dazai who I haven't seen before...are they all in their teens? Don't they go to school?"

Blind student, you found Huadian.

Ah Yuan, the soul, asked the question, making the scene very awkward for a while.

It's all black, who cares about the issue of academic qualifications or not?

In other words, they never expected that some people would care about the academic qualifications of the port mafia cadres.

Of course, apart from this innocuous little episode, everyone's cooperation is still very pleasant.

Investing in philanthropy is good for Vengley and the port mafia.

For the mayor of Yokohama and the governor of Kanagawa, it is also a big cake that is delivered to their mouths.

This is political achievement, do you understand political achievement?

Under my wise leadership, the black and evil forces have started to do charity. If this is not called ability, what is ability?

The only thing that was a little unexpected, but actually expected.As the initiator, Oda Sakuyuki did not choose to become a manager, but became an executor as before.

Go around and help children in need.

In this case, a child who was originally living in an orphanage was taken out.

"Go in."

The dean with a cold face pushed the thin boy to the reception room.

"Be honest and don't get into trouble."

After saying those words, the headmaster closed the door from the outside.

The silver-gray short-haired boy was not told the reason for coming here in advance, and being treated coldly for a long time made the boy more inferior and sensitive than children of the same age.

After arriving in the reception room, he dared to stay where he was, nervously looking at the red-haired man in the reception room.

He knew the drawing room—it used to be where children were brought up when they were adopted.

But it has nothing to do with him here.

No one would want to adopt a child as bad as him.

Did I make a mistake again?

If only the punishment wasn't so painful this time.

... I don't know if I will be hungry.If I knew this earlier, I should find a way to eat more at noon.

While thinking wildly, he heard a man's voice: "Hello."

"Ah, yes!"

The boy spoke nervously, because he was so nervous that he couldn't even control the volume.

To be punished!

The boy shrank his body almost subconsciously.

However, the imaginary pain did not come for a long time, and the red-haired man in front of him looked at him with a gentle gaze that he could not understand.It didn't come close.

This reassured the boy a lot.

He didn't hit himself directly... Then, that should be a good person.

The teenager looked at the man, waiting for his next move.

"Good boy."

The man raised his hand and touched his head lightly.

No pain, very warm.

The gentle touch is both strange and nostalgic.

The boy looked at the hand that was leaving soon, feeling a little lost.

Then he heard the man say:

"I'm here to take you away."

"Eh?"

The young man was taken aback, unable to react for a while.

"I am the head of an institution, and there are many children like you over there." The red-haired man explained patiently.

"Kids like me..."

The boy repeated in confusion.

like me?Unwelcome like me?Or are you disobedient like me?

In that case, would it be worse than here?

The child who had been living in the orphanage since he was conscious became flustered.

He has never left the orphanage, for him, everything outside is unknown.

"Or you can understand it as another home over there."

Oda Sakunosuke smiled.

"Of course, we respect your opinion. If you think it's better here, you can stay here. We will visit you regularly."

'Home'.

This is also a very unfamiliar vocabulary for teenagers.

Of course he knew the meaning of 'home', but it was too far away from him.When it is an extravagant hope to live well and not be punished, the young man naturally dare not imagine more.

He didn't know if that 'home' was good, but he could hear the man mean that he would leave.

The boy panicked a little.

It was the first time he felt warmth from someone else.He didn't want to be separated from the man just like that.

"that!"

He summoned up the courage to speak, and looked at the man cautiously.

"If I go...will I be able to see you often?"

Probably because he felt that he was too greedy to say that, the young man hurriedly added another sentence after asking.

"I, I didn't want to trouble you, just, just..."

That is, if I can see him again, can I still touch his head?

He just wants this.

It doesn't hurt and it's warm.

"Of course, I will try my best to take time to see you." The young man responded gently to his words, "But you still have to study and play, so I'm afraid you won't think of me often..."

"No! I will miss you very much!" the boy said impulsively.

"real."

"Thank you."

The red-haired youth held out his hand to him.Adult male hands are large and appear to be powerful.

But it doesn't hurt him.

On the contrary, it is warm and nostalgic.

"Then let's go."

The boy swallowed his saliva, and finally mustered up the courage to hold that hand.

He took that hand, left the conference room, and walked past the dean who always had a ferocious expression.Walking out step by step along the familiar and fearful corridor of the orphanage.

The sun outside was warm, the wind was blowing, and there was a nice smell.

Not floral but lots and lots of smells mixed together.I can't say it, but it makes people feel tense and reassuring.

—Is this the smell of "outside"?

The boy with short silver-gray hair turned his head, and the door of the orphanage was closed behind, blocking the dark corridor and the dean who was looking at him fiercely.

"correct."

The red-haired man spoke.

"My name is Oda Sakunosuke."

"That...me." I should have responded to him.

Thinking this way, the boy also mentioned his own name: "My name is... Atsushi Nakajima."
