Chapter 13: The Dean
"Can I play with you?" said Matsuko, who had been watching the girls jump rope. She has a watermelon-headed hairstyle, bangs in front of her eyebrows that are just at the level of her curved eyebrows, and a small mole above the corner of her mouth.
At this time, because of the flattering smile on her face, the small mole also moved up slightly. She had a pair of angelic bright eyes peculiar to a child, and her white and tender little face was slightly red.
Matsuko's clothes are the latest in the entire orphanage, a small white round-neck shirt and a red suspender skirt. Because she had just joined the orphanage a week ago.
Because of the sound of pine nuts, the originally cheerful atmosphere cooled down. The little girls who jumped rope looked at each other, and it was obvious that they didn't want Matsuko to join, but they were too scared to refuse.
In the end, it was a big sister who looked like she was eleven or twelve years old who spoke up.
"That...... It's full, and you might be able to find someone else to play with. She said in a trembling voice, her eyes looking down at the ground.
"yes, there's a lot of people here!" the other girls echoed behind the girl.
"That's it!" Matsuko lowered her head as if she was lost, but her eyes glanced to the side under the cover of her short black hair.
The place where Matsuko looks is a small gazebo in the garden of the orphanage. The dean, always with a gentle smile, was sitting there talking softly to his friends.
Matsuko likes the dean's eyes, and they are as gentle as a hot spring.
Matsuko didn't care about the girls' rejection at all, she knew that they were afraid of her, and she knew that such fears would fade over time.
Since childhood, Matsuko has been a special girl, she can feel some wonderful things, those things will give her some abilities, but also make her emotionally uncontrollable.
The dean said that this is the blood inheritance boundary, and it is only possessed by some people who are favored by the heavens.
In fact, Matsuko is now secretly happy, looking forward to the gentle comfort of the dean in the evening. She likes to be with the dean the most now.
She even dreams of being the dean's bride when she grows up.
So pretending to be a lost pine nut.,At this time, the dean who was peeking at her was the adult.。
Sitting in front of the dean was a handsome white-haired young man, dressed in a white kimono, and his face was proud and affectionate.
He came three days ago. It was sunset, and in the dreamy sunshine, the man gently stepped his unhurried steps into the orphanage.
The dean was teaching at the time and was surprised to see him.
"So, you're going to stay with me for a long time?" said the smiling Dou softly. He was happy because there would be another knowledgeable teacher in the orphanage.
Most of all, he could sense that what Beryuhu said was sincere.
"It's weird. Beryuhu stared at the leaves of the creeper hanging from the gazebo. "I've always dreamed of being the perfect ninja, but when I did, it all started boring. ”
"Don't you have anything in particular you want to do?" said Dou.
"What do you particularly want to do?" said with a kind smile, "I thought about becoming the Hokage and creating my own ideal country." ”
"Then why not do it?"
"Konoha will not accept me, will not accept a sinful person to become the Hokage of Konoha. And I don't want to rule Konoha strongly. ”
"So you gave up. ”
"Well, why cling to something you'll never be able to pursue?"
"Then why did you come to me? ”
"There is a manor, away from war and all the hustle and bustle of the world, full of sunshine and children's laughter. You can laze in the sun in this manor, you can find people to play chess and chat with you, you don't have to take other people's lives, you don't have to worry about your own lives being taken by others, isn't this a good life, Dou?"
"It's a very good life. Dou smiled and put on his round-rimmed glasses.
Then he suddenly straightened his face and spoke in a serious tone.
"So since you want to live here, you have to do your part, how about being a teacher here?"
The change in the pocket made Beiliuhu stunned slightly, and then chuckled.
"Okay, let's teach music, I remember I used to play the flute well. ”
"Then you have to pay more attention to Teacher Beiliuhu. ”
"Please ask the Dean for your advice."
The dean seemed to be very happy, holding his chin in his hand, and Matsuko sat on a bench, shaking his feet in small red leather shoes.
