Chapter 11: The Tramp
When the sky is a little dark, Naoto Yoshiwara is swept out of the house again by Nana Hoshino - Nana Hoshino has entertained Naoto Yoshihara for dinner, and also played games with Naoto Yoshiwara (although she also enjoyed it), and feels that the master's responsibility has been fulfilled, so it is implied that Naoto Yoshiwara should take his leave.
Naoto Yoshihara had no choice but to pat his ass and leave.
Nana Hoshino closed the door and said goodbye to Naoto Yoshihara: "I'm really sorry that you ran away in vain and caused you so much trouble, but fortunately, my mother is fine...... I still have to go to school, and I'm usually very busy, so I can't accompany you to visit the places of interest in Tokyo, but now that you have your mother's contact information, come back to her in a month!"
The implication is that there is nothing to do with you here, I am young and weak and have no money, so it is almost enough to entertain you for a meal, why should you go, bye you!
"What about the school?"
Nana Hoshino slowly closed the door and said, "I can solve the small things by myself...... Nice to meet you and wish you all the best ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the door shut.
Yoshihara Naoto sighed, this kid has a dog face, not long ago the two of them were laughing and laughing, it was a little darker, her vigilance came up again, and in a blink of an eye, she turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, and she was going to send him away.
He hesitated.
Seriously, in fact, he's not interesting here anymore - children fighting, at most, it involves bad teenagers and the like, according to his observation this day, Nana Hoshino, this kid is not weak and bulliable, saying that he can handle it himself, then it's almost fine, so shouldn't he go back?
He hesitated for a long time, thought about it or forgot it. Uesugi Xiang's favor is there, and it's not appropriate to throw her hands and leave. Back then, he needed money to send home to his father for treatment, and he was in a hurry! In the war-torn region of Africa, he really didn't know who to rob if he wanted to, not to mention that he had just left home at that time, and his ability was too small, and it was even more troublesome to be killed if he failed to rob - Uesugi Xiang, who only had a few sides of the relationship when he was weak, didn't care about the possibility of losing all his money, and reached out to help, so now she has troubles, no matter how big or small, trouble is not troublesome or dangerous, she always has to help her over!
To put it mildly, Uesugi Xiang solved her urgent need back then, and to say bigger, it was to renew her father's life, and now she wants to repay her favor, that is, she must rush in the face of the rain of bullets and bullets - the knife mountain can climb the sea of fire, and the oil pot has to jump with her eyes closed, not to mention this kind of trivial matter!
Even if you don't mention the favor of the year, Nana Hoshino is also the daughter of a friend, and she still has to manage it!
If it doesn't work, he will take care of it secretly - anyway, the child will eat and dress and don't have to worry about himself - and when the matter is over, he will go home and continue to live a quiet life.
It's an unlucky errand!
He sighed and went to the stairwell. He has no intention of going out to get money, it's not cheap to buy a usable identity on the deep web, especially this kind of very perfect, and the receipt is also troublesome and easy to expose the previous bad deeds, so keep it if you can keep it - try to keep it with this kind of identity activity, and it's best not to let Naoto Yoshihara's identity be related to the identity of Huaxia, so it's okay for a few days.
When he got to the stairwell, he sat down and licked a paper cigarette, he had long wanted to smoke it, but he was embarrassed to be a guest in someone's house and guard a child.
After two sips, he looked sideways at the door of the stairwell, only to see that the door had been pushed open by a small slit, revealing a pair of almond eyes, and then a pair of slender jade hands pushed in a brown paper bag.
Naoto Yoshihara stretched out his hand to take it, and when he opened it, he saw that it was two grilled rice balls. He hesitated, then reached out his wallet to pay the bill.
The girl outside the door saw his movements and hurriedly whispered, "No...... No money. As she spoke, she pushed in the five hundred yen from the morning.
Naoto Yoshihara pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Miss Momonomiya, why are you giving me food, is there any misunderstanding?"
Miki Momonomiya hid on the other side of the door and hesitated and said, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to Mr. Yoshihara?" I just thought about it......" The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and even Naoto Yoshihara's trained ear power couldn't hear clearly.
Naoto Yoshihara said helplessly: "Miss Momomiya, do you want to come in and talk...... I won't hurt you, please don't worry. β
Miki Momonomiya was startled, and her voice became a little louder: "I'm sorry, I know that Mr. Yoshihara won't hurt me." At that time, she was desperate and ready to be slaughtered, and Naoto Yoshihara didn't do anything, so she was definitely not a bad person, "It's just ...... It's just that I'm unlucky, I'm afraid of infecting Mr. Yoshihara. β
What does that mean? Naoto Yoshiwara looked at the grilled rice ball in his hand - if there is something to infect, food is not the best way to transmit it?
Miki Momonomiya seemed to understand what Naoto Yoshiwara was thinking, and there was a bit of anxiety in her voice: "That Mr. Yoshiwara, the food doesn't matter, I work in a tea restaurant, and I handle a lot of ingredients every day, and no one is harmed, please believe me!"
Victimization?
Naoto Yoshihara didn't quite understand, and when he heard this, he meant that he was afraid of bad luck contagion...... But this is feudal superstition, right?
This Miss Momomiya Miki was a little abnormal, he thought so, pushed the bag and money out again, and said with a smile: "Miss Momomiya, I'm not a beggar, if you don't collect money...... I can't eat this stuff. β
Miki Momomiya was completely panicked and shouted, "I didn't mean to insult you, Mr. Yoshihara." She paused, then whispered, "My father, like Mr. Yoshihara, has also self-exiled...... I just thought, if I provide you with food, maybe some kind people will provide food to my dad, so ...... Please take it, and don't pay, please!"
After she finished speaking, she pushed the bag and money in again.
Naoto Yoshihara finally understood, this Momomiya Miki really regarded him as a vagabond-the conscience of heaven and earth, he just wanted to make do here for a few days, if it was a trivial matter over there, he would go back if it was too troublesome, and if it was too troublesome and needed to stay for a long time, it would not be too late to get money, and ......
He's doing well, what is he doing with self-exile...... I can't say enough!
There are a lot of homeless people in Tokyo, and it is true that some of them are lazy and have fallen into a place where they have no place to eat, but there are also some of them who are self-exiled, and there are quite a few of them.
Life in Tokyo is stressful, and people care a lot about what people around them think of them, and when someone takes responsibility for something bad happens, it often leads to suicides β nearly 20,000 people committed suicide in Tokyo alone in the month of the stock market crash, a small half of them stockbrokers.
But there are also people who do not have the courage to commit suicide, and at this time they often choose to self-exile, leaving their original environment and wandering around, becoming homeless in the eyes of others.
In Dongying, the homeless man has a higher education, and used to earn tens of millions of dollars a year in the past, but now it is not uncommon to live in a park and sleep on the bridge to pick up newspapers and eat garbage - maybe he used to be a good architect, but the building he designed collapsed, he couldn't forgive himself, couldn't accept being a failure, couldn't stand the strange eyes of the people around him, or failed in business, and didn't want his wife and children to be affected by himself, so he went into self-exile.
But whether self-exile counts as taking responsibility is a matter of opinion.
Naoto Yoshiwara said helplessly: "Miss Momomiya, you really misunderstood, I just came to Tokyo to visit my friends...... Because I was in a hurry and didn't bring enough money, I ...... it" He couldn't explain it anymore, and Miki Momonomiya in the crack of the door nodded vigorously, the sympathy on his face became heavier, obviously not believing, or thinking that he had a good face and refused to admit his past failures.
He sighed and thought about itβwho had the bad luck of him, who was deceived by his friends, but he was not even provided with accommodation, and was reduced to the stairwell.
Miki Momonomiya cautiously stretched out a small hand, pushed the money and bag towards him, and said softly, "I understand, Mr. Yoshihara...... You're in need of money now, so take it back!"
Naoto Yoshihara silently took back the money, forget it, if you can't explain it, you can't explain it, it's not a big deal to eat a few bites, and when you go back, send her a gift as a thank you gift!
Momomiya Miki saw that he had finally "succumbed", and he also breathed a long sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on his little face, but he quickly retreated, bowed his head slightly to him, and left quietly.
Naoto Yoshiwara smiled helplessly and put the bag aside. He's not too hungry now, and the potatoes at noon are still stubbornly stuck in his stomach. He took a cigarette in his mouth and cursed the big pit in his stomach.
But to his surprise, soon after, Miki Momonomiya came again, and a long piece of corrugated cardboard was stuffed through the crack in the door, and the box of what he didn't know was disassembled, followed by a thin blanket.
Momomiya Miki finished stuffing things, glanced at Naoto Yoshiwara with concerned and sympathetic eyes through the crack in the door, bowed his head again, and left quietly.
Naoto Yoshihara looked at the cardboard blanket on the ground and sighed in a low voice - look at what this means, is Miki Momonomiya going to build a nest here by herself?
Naoto Yoshihara laid out the cardboard, used the backpack as a pillow, and put the blanket on his lap and lay down directly!
Okay, it's better than putting a newspaper in a bridge or a park!
However, this Miss Momomiya doesn't plan to keep herself as a pet, right?
