"No longer in touch...... Why...... There should be a lot of friends here......"

Faced with Dean Yanagida's abrupt words, he was silent for a long time, and Mochizuki Ayano finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's not their ...... to blame"

Yanagida shook his head helplessly.

"Perhaps, in the hearts of many children, this place where they were raised represents unfortunate experiences, scars of not being accepted by society and pain points of being poked at, and it is an eternal desert of their souls."

Orphans, who can basically guarantee their material life, grow up in a circle that is isolated from the outside world, such as welfare homes, and have been immersed in inferiority, confusion, and cowardice since childhood.

Since they had to leave the welfare home at the age of 18 to support themselves, they did not receive an orthodox clothing education, but a cramming mode with the highest priority of learning social knowledge and survival skills.

And once you enter society, many cognitive and spiritual "deformities" will be exposed.

Because of his special life experience, he suffered from all kinds of speculation and even discrimination from friends, colleagues, lovers, and bosses, so he gave up on himself.

"What children who grow up in such barren soil lack the most is a sense of social identity and hope for the future...... This is also where we educators despair because we can't give. ”

Sighing, Yanagida smiled and looked down at the playground below.

"Those three guys, although they are not behaving well, have insisted on sending money back regularly, no matter how much they have, since they left the welfare home."

“…… Even the boy who worked several jobs at the same time to go to university was embarrassed to say that he wanted to transfer 1,000 yen at the end of the month......"

Looking at the playground below, the well-behaved and depressed children on weekdays got the gifts they wanted, and it was rare to show joy and excitement in the application, and there was also a layer of mist on his heavy lenses.

"I see, I apologize for my gaffe just now......"

Knowing the reason for this, Mochizuki Ayano sincerely expressed her apologies.

Perhaps because my eyes can perceive many truths, or because of my professional environment, I don't know when I have developed a bad habit of impatiently judging unfamiliar things.

"No, I was serious just now. Because there was no shortage of material things, and the three guys had not yet started a family, we at first let them not have to send money and buy things back often. But then we gradually found out that the three guys who walked out of this place turned out to be heroes in the hearts of the children......"

Pointing to the bright smiling faces on the playground, Dean Yanagida showed a proud smile on his face: "The warmth of the family, the hope for the future, and the recognition from the outside world...... What we can't give our children is passed on from the three of them. Moreover, I believe that just as the oasis in the desert expands itself, the children who are affected by them will continue to pass on this warmth. ”

Listening to Dean Yanagida's words, Mochizuki Ayano looked at the lively people on the playground in a daze, and realized something.

At the same time, Yumayu, a bird who was helping to distribute gifts downstairs, happened to look up and looked at Mochizuki Lingnai, who was on the third floor and only half of his head was exposed.

"Ayano-chan!"

Seeing the pair of golden ponytails and blue and black eyes behind the guardrail on the third floor, the witch suddenly showed an unexpected smile on her face and waved her hand at the other party.

Mochizuki Ryono also waved his hand at her.

"What are you talking about, you're having fun."

Behind him, Siena, who had finished worshipping, happened to walk out of the room.

……

Three hours later, at the entrance of the welfare home.

"Thank you very much for your kindness and generosity, not only for sponsoring so many supplies, but also for helping to sort out an afternoon...... A few of you, thank you too!! ”

Dean Yanagida sincerely bowed and thanked the father and daughter of Kotoriyu, Reino Mochizuki, and Siena.

Behind him, the three of Sousuke Araki, as well as more than twenty children, also bowed obediently.

In addition to some things that need to be replaced urgently in the welfare home, the materials brought by the father and daughter of Little Bird Tour also prepared corresponding gifts for each person according to the list and gender of the children.

Mochizuki and Siena not only stayed behind to help tidy up, but also contacted international charitable organizations that were familiar with the Holy See to regularly provide assistance to the Little Daisy Welfare Home.

"The Lord said, Love your neighbor as yourself...... If this welfare home is the concern of Moon Shadow for most of his life, this little thing is the only thing I can do for him. ”

After spending an afternoon together, the children no longer feared the "black giant" and fought with him, which allowed Siena to be "healed", rejuvenated from the death of the deceased, and regained her iconic smile.

"Hey, since Uncle Yanagida has said so, we will arrange the dinner on our behalf to express our gratitude!"

Higashino Kohei enthusiastically proposed.

There is only one aunt who cooks rice in the Little Daisy Welfare Home, and they are already too busy just preparing the children's dinner, and they try not to pick a meal time to come over on weekdays, not to mention that there are now seven adults here.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to the three of you, don't do anything rude again......"

Dean Yanagida nodded, worriedly admonished.

"If you eat, I'll be exempt. The truck has to be returned to someone on time, and ......the shrine can't be left unattended all the time."

Yutaro Kotori declined apologetically.

"Then, Mr. Araki, let's ...... first"

When the little bird on the side heard this, he immediately bowed his head to Sosuke Araki in some disappointment.

“…… So Araki-kun, I'll trouble you to help me send the real bow back later. ”

Yutaro Kotori's next words made her look surprised.

"Eh, wait...... Is it okay for my father to go back alone? ”

"No problem, everything is empty, just drive the car back...... Besides, it's hard to get a trip to Yokohama, so you can't miss the young people's party. ”

Yutaro Kotori secretly gave Sosuke Araki a thumbs up from his cuffs and smiled brightly.

"Hmm, it's a disappointment that Uncle Birdie can't participate, so I'll leave it to me here!"

Although he couldn't understand the other party's unclear gestures, Sosuke Araki also responded with the same bright smile as if he didn't understand.

"That, is there really a father who can safely hand over his daughter to such a crime-looking three...... No, I must stay and protect Kokoyu-chan! ”

Saying this, Mochizuki Lingnai hung the arm of the little bird Yu Zhengong.

"Hey, what are you talking about, there is also a righteous Lesson 9 Sex Crime Investigation Agent here, how can he tolerate any crime happening under his nose!"

Hearing this, Ryoma, the second in the rear, protested dissatisfiedly.

"I heard that there is a new guy in the Department of Sex Crime Investigation, who often goes in and out of those low-level places in the name of work, and has the cheekiness to ask for an invoice to come back to reimburse the task expenses......"

Mochizuki Ling didn't eat his set, and ruthlessly revealed some facts with a gloomy face.

"How do you know...... No, police officer Mochizuki, what you say will make the brothers who lurk in the red light district day and night, overdraft their bodies, and work hard to investigate the case chill. ”

"The ......"

Siena, who couldn't interject at all, looked at the quiet "smiling" Higashino Kohei on the side awkwardly: "Am I the only one who cares about what to eat for dinner?" ”
