The light at the entrance and exit of the basement does not reach deep.
Kamishiro Kiyokazu fumbled and turned on the light, and his vision became brighter.
——The purple-gold eyes belong to the only child here.
It was a thin boy who looked like he was only 8 or 9 years old, but he should actually be older. Kamishiro Qinghe's eyes slid over his messy white hair and ragged clothes, and fell on his feet.
His right foot was nailed to the ground by a huge iron nail.
……very good.
——It seems there is no need for Ango to read the evidence.
Kandairo Kiyokazu's eyes darkened. He took out his mobile phone to save the photo. He thought for two seconds about the speed at which the Yokohama Police Department ran into such a wilderness. He crossed out the option to call the police on the spot and wait for the police to come, and prepared to report it afterwards.
He squatted in front of the iron cage, looked directly into those fearful purple-gold eyes, and showed a gentle smile, "Hello, my name is Kamishiro Kiyokazu, and I came to visit the courtyard today. What about you, what is your name?"
The black-haired boy selectively replaced "adoption" with "visit".
Because "adoption" is an excuse to gather orphans together, and the only people they want to "adopt" are people with super powers.
——When faced with so many children in the orphanage, it doesn’t matter if you say adoption, because the expectation of being adopted will be reduced in front of the group. Everyone knows that their chances are not very great, but if they are faced with being alone, they are in a situation of being adopted.
A child with bruises and bruises from an abusive environment...
--It's almost like depicting false hope.
…What if this is the straw that breaks the camel’s back?
etc.
Even if the dean is a pervert, this kind of lynching is too harsh...
Is it just because this child is particularly "naughty"?
Kamidai Kiyoka looked at the dried blood on the child's feet and thoughtfully called for supernatural powers.
A new character card appears on the light blue translucent screen——
Kamishiro Kiyowa: "..."
Not impressed.
His eyes stayed on the descriptions of "short-sighted but kind-hearted" and "his own way" for a few seconds. He struggled to keep the gentle curve of his lips from turning into sarcasm. He stared at the cowering little superpower in front of him for a long time, releasing
own goodwill.
"Nakajima..."
The child made a hoarse voice, as if he hadn't spoken or drank water for a long time, and said intermittently, "My name is Atsushi Nakajima."
"Atsushi-kun."
Kandao Qinghe smiled more gently, "I want to take you away."
"I can't guarantee much, but your life will definitely be much better than it is now, and your material conditions will be the same as those of ordinary children with parents outside."
The black-haired boy stretched out his hand and approached the iron cage without caring about the dirt. "Ah, I forgot to mention that I am actually here to adopt."
He asked gently, "Will you come with me?"
"..."
Are you dreaming?
Atsushi Nakajima stared blankly at the delicate-looking young man in front of him. His clothes and demeanor showed that they belonged to two different worlds. But at this time, the young man said that he wanted to take him away from here and adopt him...
That long, white hand was stretched out, completely different from his short, dirty, calloused hands.
Right.
Such a boy was no more than a few years older than him and was not old enough to adopt anyone else.
...it was indeed a dream.
——Since it’s a dream, anything is fine, right?
Nakajima Atsushi slowly and tremblingly stretched out his hand and lightly touched the boy's hand.
Very warm.
Kamidai Kiyowa asked patiently: "Do you mean you are willing?"
Not broken...
This dream.
Nakajima Atsushi became more and more confused. He had been locked up in the basement for a day, without water or food. He was dizzy and bleeding. He was locked up alone and nailed in a small, dark and empty space. He was severely damaged physically and mentally.
...about to die.
——Why aren’t you dead yet?
...Ah, this must be the messenger from Santuchuan who came to pick me up.
Tears accumulated in his dry eyes, and the boy in his field of vision seemed to have a light halo around him. The blurred outline amplified the tenderness being released. Atsushi Nakajima sensed this emotion, and he cried uncontrollably, sobbing.
Said: "I do! Please take me, take me out of here!!"
"I received your wish."
The young man said this.
Kamishiro Kiyawa hated himself for not lighting up his lock-picking skills.
He could only use a gun equipped with a silencer to knock out the old lock, and logically found alcohol and bandages in the basement - obviously the dean didn't want to kill anyone, so he stared at the alcohol silently for a while.
.
——Using alcohol directly to disinfect wounds will hurt to death.
--but nothing else either.
Kamishiro Kiyokazu looked through it again without giving up, making sure that there were no less irritating drugs such as iodine, and wanted to go out to look for it. Atsushi Nakajima cried uncontrollably again, and it was completely unbearable to see him disappearing from sight. Kamishiro Kiyokazu could only help ruthlessly.
He pulled out the nails, disinfected them with alcohol and bandaged them.
During this period, Nakajima Atsushi cried so much that he almost lost his breath, but he still did not faint. He held on and stared at Kamishiro Kiyowa with his purple-gold eyes.
...Isn’t it a dream?
——I didn’t wake up despite the pain.
"Are you really not going to sleep first? You haven't rested for a long time."
Kamishiro Kiyokazu patted him gently. It was hard not to feel sorry for such a stubborn cub. He wiped the mess on Nakajima Atsushi's face with a new tissue in his windbreaker and promised, "Go to sleep, I won't leave."
of."
[Help me take the dean to his office alone.
——Qinghe】
Lobby.
Sakaguchi Ango read the email, politely said that he would discuss it with his companions, and walked a little further to convey his intention to Mr. and Mrs. Izumi.
The people who apparently want to adopt orphans are a couple named Quan who "want to give their only daughter a playmate." They are indeed very qualified and seem to be very good parents, so they said they already have a promising candidate.
When my son wanted to go to the dean's office for a detailed discussion, Dean Jarhead was not suspicious.
Then he saw Atsushi Nakajima, who was sleeping tired from crying in the office.
"!!!"
"Shh." The young man sitting next to Atsushi Nakajima smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Mr. Dean, let's talk about 'adoption'." The door to the office has been blocked.
The dean was tense all over, "Who are you?"
After leaving this orphanage, more than an hour had passed.
Half an hour was spent negotiating with the dean.
An intelligence agent's public security certificate was once again meritorious. They claimed to be a department under the National Police Agency that specializes in managing people with special abilities, and said that what the director did violated the law. Considering the special circumstances, they hoped that he could surrender to the Yokohama Police Station.
, strive for a reduced sentence and be released from prison as soon as possible.
Recalling the way the dean confessed under his partner's verbal attack, Sakaguchi Ango was still in disbelief:
"Is he really going to turn himself in?"
"Of course."
Kamishiro Kiyowa said with a half-smile, "After all, he is a well-intentioned and kind-hearted person."
"Just in case, I also left evidence."
Next, they visited a few more orphanages, and as expected, they found no more people with supernatural powers. Another expected thing was that the management of these remote orphanages was somewhat illegal.
Kamidai Kiyowa has a cold face.
Institutions like orphanages should not be run by purely private individuals, but the Japanese government will not care about this kind of thing at all. There are so many "big things" they don't care about, let alone such "little things"? - Is there anyone who accepts these orphans?
Before the measures are taken, it is not feasible to directly ban private orphanages.
Is it really necessary to let the mafia take over government functions?
It is not as reasonable as sponsoring a reliable congressman.
By the way, after they, a combination of intelligence and force, have finished "checking out" and making sure that the orphans have personal freedom and that the orphanage has not turned into some kind of dangerous trading den, admissions staff will come to visit later. As for whether to go to school or not,
It depends on the child himself.
It was evening when they returned to the city stuck in time.
The silver-gray car drove directly to the entrance of Yokohama Hope Academy. Nakajima Atsushi was still sleeping soundly, his fingers tightly clenching the corners of Kamishiro Kiyowa's clothes in his sleep.
Yes.
Nakajima Atsushi had been like this since he fell asleep, so when they talked about things in the dean's office, they could only bring this little superpower with them.
"Hurry and lower your head, don't be seen."
Before he was about to open the door, Kamidai Kiyoka reminded his partner.
"..."
Sakaguchi Ango cursed in his heart, if you, Seiwa-senpai, are willing to walk a few more steps, we will find a suitable place for you to get off the bus in a relaxed manner...
But he didn't say.
Because Sakaguchi Ango knew in his heart that among these two options, Seiwa-senpai, who had worked overtime for many days, would not hesitate to choose the option that allowed him to be lazy.
Kamishiro Kiyoka hugged Nakajima Atsushi and got out of the car.
The silver-gray car turned around and drove away.
Um.
There is a one-sided visual film on the car window, the license plate is not fixed, Ango's face is hidden, it doesn't matter if Izumi and the others are seen...
OK.
At the gate of this school where intelligence dealers hang out every day, caution is the right thing to do.
——But that doesn't stop him from getting off here.
...After all, it would be too ostentatious to carry Nakajima Atsushi into school. If the child is allowed to walk on his own, the shorter the distance, the better.
Kamidai Kiyowa thought about it and woke up Atsushi Nakajima.
"……here it is?"
"School." Kamishiro Kiyokazu went to a nearby store and bought a bottle of water and handed it to him, explaining, "Because there is no other place to place you, I brought you here first."
The port mafia is not good, it is easy to be branded; the Jindai house is not good, it will be bad if your neighbor Dazai finds out; other places are even more inconvenient...
And if it is left to someone else, it will inevitably make the child feel abandoned. After all, he made the promise and brought the other person out, so he should take some responsibility.
——Orphans are mostly sensitive inside.
——After thinking about it for a while, Kamishiro Kiyokazu felt that it would be good to put it in school first.
"Let's talk about it in detail later, okay, Atsushi-kun?"
Atsushi Nakajima nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Kamishiro Kiyawa led the slow-moving child, who touched the ground with the intact parts of his left and right feet, toward the dormitory area. Then, at the door of the boys' dormitory, he met Osamu Dazai, who was also carrying a child!
