Do Sanwu girls dream of curly police officers?

The cold ice cream melted in her mouth, and the young girl wore light gray double ponytails. After eating the ice cream, the girl stuffed her little hands into theirs.

In memory, their faces are blurred, only their bright smiles can be seen clearly.

The woman smiled and put her finger into the girl's small palm.

"Peach, do you like this flavor?"

Taotao squeezed her mother's finger and said seriously: "I like it."

The man on the other side felt wronged: "Anli, that's obviously my ice cream..."

Mom smiled slightly: "Shut up."

The father muttered, and moved his fingers on his daughter's palm: "That's my favorite flavor... Taotao is still young, and my stomach can't stand it." There was a hint in his eyes.

Taotao who received the hint:...

Mom simply gave Dad a chestnut—"Snap!"

The woman is still smiling: "That's no reason for you to steal ice cream."

The girl had no expression on her face: "Daddy still hid his private money to buy ice cream."

Drops of cold sweat fell on the man's forehead: "Anli, listen to my explanation."

The woman smiled gently: "Don't go into the bedroom for the next month, you habitual offender—you're only an ice cream away from diabetes."

Men na na.

"I know..."

——This is Taotao's family.

The father of an ice cream cook but a cook wife, and a gentle but dark-bellied mother.

……

"—"

why?

All sound is gone.

The black and red energy wave swept away like a bandit, taking everything away.

Taotao saw——

The parents who were still smiling a second ago were submerged in the red light——

"Boom--!"

The little girl was at a loss, and only held her parents' fingers tightly.

Taotao thought, she held her parents, and the family would not be able to find each other because of the red light...

She thought so.

"Huh?" The girl stood in the ruins blankly.

There is a mess in front of my eyes: broken ground, groundwater mixed with dust...

"Ah?"

The girl saw the blood on her palm, it was bright red—whose?

……

Taotao thought, Mom and Dad should go home first.

Didn't someone say it - parents should cultivate their children's independence.

Taotao clenched the things in her hands, and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying: "It's okay... Mom and Dad are at home... Taotao, I will be alone...independent... woo..."

Swallowing the sobs in his throat, he wiped the cold tears from his face.

The girl walked home silently.

"Dong dong dong."

The girl knocked on the door patiently, every 3 minutes.

——"Mom and Dad, I forgot my keys."

——"Taotao came back alone, so don't ignore me."

——"Dad, I'll buy you another ice cream, don't leave the door open."

——"Mom, I will supervise Dad in the future...can you open the door?"

——"Peach... woo woo woo..."

The girl leaned against the door, slowly slid down, wrapped her arms around her knees, and buried her face in it.

Today's ice cream tastes so bitter.

Mom and Dad, don't buy this flavor of ice cream next time.

……

Mom and Dad's funeral, on a cloudy day, gray clouds cover the light, the wind can bend the branches, but it can't blow away the heavy clouds.

Tao Tao became an orphan.

No one wants to adopt her.

"It's that kid..."

"Yeah, it's super weird - I went to the police station with two fingers and said I was looking for Mom and Dad."

"...the Sakai couple...died by the...explosion...survivors..."

Tao Tao was silent.

……

That explosion took away too much, leaving Leath Street as a gloomy gathering place.

Taotao was one of the few survivors of the explosion.

The Supernatural Secret Service found her and offered to recruit her.

Sakai Momo, a person with supernatural abilities, whose supernatural ability is called "Guardian".

During the explosion, her supernatural powers protected herself and the fingers wrapped in her palm—"Then why, mom and dad died there!"

The sharp childish voice interrupted the words of the staff of the Supernatural Secret Service

The girl was hysterical, her cat's eyes were scarlet—"Why is that! Why didn't I protect my parents with my supernatural powers!"

"Why--!"

The person from the Supernatural Secret Service Section didn't speak.

Ability is not unlimited.

Chuya Chuya's ability is powerful, and the activation condition is "touch".

However, Taotao's special ability "Guardian" has a limited scope.

The scope of "Guardian" is the volume of a young child.

The Supernatural Secret Service Division told her: Your supernatural ability is a rare growth-type supernatural ability, and as long as you practice, you can expand its scope.

……

Taotao rejected the recruitment—"The company that wants a five-year-old child to work is the scrap."

Supernatural Special Affairs Division: ...

They didn't force it either.

The situation in Yokohama is tense, and there are very few people with supernatural powers in the Supernatural Secret Service Division, so it is just a gamble on luck to ask for security.

And... Sakai Momota's supernatural power has a problem.

——It is degenerating, and the scope of protection is getting smaller and smaller.

The reason for the degradation is still unknown, and the Supernatural Secret Service Division has no way of investigating it.

……

Osamu Dazai knew the reason for the degeneration of "Guardian".

-Extreme self-loathing.

The ability is too weak, and he didn't protect his parents well.

She is too weak to bring Mom and Dad back.

——Peach thinks so.

"What a troublesome child."

Dazai sighed lightly.

By the time Osamu Dazai and Sakunosuke Oda got to know Tao Tao, Tao Tao's three views had already been finalized.

……

Taotao lives alone. Her parents are police officers with good welfare, so the family has a lot of savings.Taotao's parents left a house, and the money paid by the life insurance also made her not have to worry about her tuition fees.

Accidents always come too suddenly.

When Taotao was 12 years old, a "leading war" broke out in Yokohama that lasted 88 days.

The port mafia has thus established its dominance in the inner world.

And Taotao...

Her house fell—on the last day.

Taotao: ... Fuck (a kind of plant).

Taotao had to find a rental house.

After several twists and turns, Taotao finally found a cheap and comfortable house - it survived the dragon head war.

Taotao doesn't believe it's because of luck.

Tao Tao planted many traps around her house, and the house lasted until the last day.

Then she learned that the owner of the house was a curry shop owner, an ex-soldier who had also rented the house to a former killer and current Mafia.

Taotao: Fangjiang, you are really lucky.

"Eat?"

Seeing the girl staring at him, Oda Sakunosuke hesitated for a moment, and pushed the spicy curry that was just served over.

Taotao: ...is this red thing curry? !

Taotao showed admiration in her eyes: "As expected of a former killer."

Odasaku nodded calmly: "Thank you for the compliment."

The boss at the side: ... really one who dares to praise and one who dares to respond.

……

"Hey—Odasaku adopted a child!"

"Hey—the girl asked Oda-san for advice?!"

Oda Sakunosuke took a sip of wine: "Yes."

"The child was found."

"Taotao said that she must have the ability to protect herself."

Osamu Dazai smiled: "Momo Sakai?"

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, not surprised that Osamu Dazai knew Momotao's full name.

Ango Sakaguchi rolled his eyes: "Dazai, you don't want to investigate others, do you?"

Osamu Dazai pretended to be sad: "That's how Ango sees me."

Ango Sakaguchi: Ugh—

Osamu Dazai curled his lips: "It's a dwarf..."

Momo Sakai was a survivor of the explosion.

……

Tao Tao recently met a strange person, and she would meet him every time.

The last time I hung the southeast branch myself, the last time I ate poisonous mushrooms, the last time...

Taotao: stare at——

Osamu Dazai happily greeted her in the water: "Hi!"

Taotao called the police.

"Uncle policeman, I met a stalker."

"The waterway he took."

"Yes, I'm underage."

Osamu Dazai: ...

……

"jingle."

Mori Ogai answered the phone suspiciously: Why did Dazai-kun call me?

"Excuse me, is it 'Boss Dumb'? Osamu Dazai is at the police station."

Mori Ogai: ...

Dazai-kun, how did you get yourself into this situation?

……

Taotao finally understands—the bandage man is a friend of Mr. Oda.

Taotao: "So why are you following me?"

Osamu Dazai sobbed: "I want to make friends with you~"

Taotao picked up the phone expressionlessly, ready to press the button to call the police.

Osamu Dazai "...don't do this, Peach Jam."

The author has something to say:

The next chapter is still Taotao's memories.

Woohoo, typing is really tiring.
