[Bungo Stray Dogs] Animal Three Musketeers

The sun rises in the western mountains, and the mist is misty.

Beautiful crystals as white as bird feathers fall from the air, gently penetrating into the skin and triggering bursts of coolness, the afterglow turns this piece of resentment into a dark canvas of despair, and the branches covered with fine snow are about to be crushed and broken From time to time, the edge of the ground creaked in the quiet and eerily narrow alleyway full of filth and filth. A husky turned quickly to a street corner and stepped on the snow, leaving traces of plum blossoms.

On the back is a child who is soundly asleep as if he is dreaming a dream, and has not noticed the danger coming. The blade passing by just now and the abuse of the people behind him seem not enough to wake the child up. In his ears, the medium-sized dog that was extremely similar to a wolf in the running state gave a low bark and quickened its pace.

Nearly.

Almost there...!

As if the morning light was about to break through the night, the end of the alley finally suddenly became clear. Hatta Mizusui, who had crossed almost this slum area, withdrew his supernatural power the moment he rushed out of the dark area and plunged into the sea of ​​people. The people following him could only do nothing The ground was washed away by the flow of people, and the only thing I saw in the corner of my eyes was the bright golden color that flew up with the movement of the owner.

The girl with dazzling straight blond hair leaned against the wall panting slightly, her faint eyes of the same color wandered in the city center where people come and go, after the message "no one is chasing" was drawn into her mind by her brain, she Leaning her back against the wall, she slid to the ground, her messy hair slipped and brushed past the white-washed sailor suit, and the chill of the snow forced her to stand up again.

After the death of her parents, Mizusui Hatta has been wandering in this port city without a fixed place. Although the government personnel arranged her in an orphanage that looked pretty good at first, they couldn't Adapting to the environment in the orphanage was fatal, and she escaped after living in the orphanage for about three months.

It is normal to feel empty in the stomach. Fortunately, I have touched a lot of money from those who hunted down just now, and I will not worry about food for a month.

I don't know why, when she saw a baby lying in the middle of a murdered couple, she actually snatched their mission target in the face of the killer who hadn't left yet. Let's be safe.

Excessive exercise made Hatta Mizusui a little tired, but the baby who was still sleeping in the swaddle in her hand didn't give her a chance to rest. Now she should find a shelter that can prevent those hunting people from searching and hiding. Perhaps it should be said that you should find a place where you can temporarily maintain your life.

However, slums where housing can be obtained without money have been discovered. Hatta Mizusui does not know where else in this city he and his children can obtain self-protection rights that are difficult for homeless children to obtain.

If you are alone, you can use your supernatural ability to turn into a dog and wander around the city. You can even find a shop door or a cardboard box that can protect you from the wind and rain and sleep comfortably. The appearance of this child made the 16-year-old who had basically never been in contact with human society feel a little at a loss when faced with this fact.

How should children be raised?

Is there any place where I can safely spend some time with myself and this child?

In this chaotic Yokohama, can a female supernatural being who can turn into a dog stop those who are chasing and killing children?

Mizusui Mizumi Mizumi Mizumi Mizumi Mizumi Mizumi Mizumi Mizumi Mizumi was thrown countless questions at a bewilderment. She raised her head, and outside the shutter made of glass, she couldn't see clearly the sky with gloomy and dark clouds. In the shopping mall, she exudes a poverty-stricken atmosphere and feels a little out of place with her surroundings.

For some reason, she suddenly made up her mind, gathered up the cloth wrapping the baby, and tied it on her back with a rope. When the afterglow outside the door was about to end, she ignored the stunned sights of all passers-by and turned into a Siberian husky and left this place. A place full of popularity.

She never admits that she is a human being, maybe she has seen too many villains whose rage has become a curtain to cover up the brilliant sunrise, Hatta Mizumi would rather maintain the shape of an animal all her life, and does not want to become a human being who has the sin of forbidden fruit to cause harm to the world .

But the second she saw this baby with a sweet smile, she suddenly had hope for human beings again.Although she is now very uneasy about the housing issue, Hatta Mizumi is still full of expectations for her future life.

Everything will be fine, neither your own destiny nor the destiny of this child should be blocked by the so-called reality to move forward.Thinking of this, she looked around cautiously and seriously, but the cry of the baby made her footsteps come to a sudden stop.

In such a crowded place, it is impossible to accurately detect what happened to the child.Hatta Mizusui hurriedly got into the path between the two floors, changed back into a human form under the cover of a big box, untied the rope and wrapped the baby in her arms, but she was dumbfounded when she saw clearly what was inside the baby up.

It was an animal with a back made of bones covered with a layer of leathery skin, and a chest made of bone and cartilage; the limbs were stubby and powerful, and there were webbed between the toes. It seemed that this animal was just born. ... Turtle, it doesn't look like there is any danger.

Hatta Mizusui felt a thunderbolt that she had never experienced since she was a child. She was so frightened that she almost dropped the child in her hand on the ground. Fortunately, her rational nerves sent a signal to the brain in time to prevent her mistake from causing the child to fall into a trap. Dangerous action.

Shuofeng poured into the friction between the path and the building wall at an untimely moment, and let out a low roar. Hatta Mizusui, who couldn't feel the coldness due to the supernatural power, hesitated and lightly touched the animal's carapace and head. After the soft white light passed, it returned to its original appearance as a baby.

Are you and yourself a supernatural being who can transform into an animal?

Hatta Mizusui was very surprised by this, but in this place where supernatural beings gather, this is actually not something to be surprised at.Under the reflection of the dim window glass, she saw the surprised expression on her face gradually receding, and after hugging the baby tightly, she walked into the depths of the path along the narrow path filled with piles of cardboard boxes. Behind the square space as high as a floor, she couldn't help subconsciously showing a gentle smile on her face.

I can live well.

Hatta Mizumi placed the sleeping baby in the corner of the space and unpacked it on the cardboard box, looked around the interior of the alley with no shortage of materials, and started the big project of renovating the "house".

Without the help of any tools, Hatta Mizusui had no choice but to fold the cardboard boxes into a wall to enclose the space, and then manually chose a hidden location to reserve a passage for one person to enter and exit, sweating profusely Then I ran to tear open a part of the carton and laid it flat on the ground that had formed a small room.

It was very tiring, but Hatta Mizusui looked at the gradual formation of a small house that clings to the building, can shelter from wind and rain, and can come back at any time to absorb warmth. She thinks it is worth it.

After finishing all the work, in order to prevent any problems that should not occur in this "home", she checked in all aspects, and after confirming that there were no problems, she took out some clothes and quilts from the clothes recycling box to spend this time. cold winter.

Although neither she nor the child can feel the cold, but in terms of family, there should be something like this, right?

Hatta Mizumi held the baby in her arms, and the warmth brought by the quilt that exuded the fresh smell of washing powder spread all over her body. She recalled her father who smiled happily and lifted her up high in her memory, and was busy in the kitchen But with a beautiful and gentle profile, she turned her head to look at her mother from time to time, and a wave of warmth involuntarily emerged from her heart.

Tomorrow, go to the garbage dump and look for any discarded table stoves.

She bent her eyes, and slowly closed them under the growing night outside the small house.

In winter, there should be a table stove.
