Chapter 69: Suribachi Clinic

＊＊＊

"It's okay, we can just speak in a low voice. It's nothing."

Tiantian tilted her head slightly. She seemed to notice that Toge was a little afraid of the mafia driver in front of him, so she comforted him and told him not to be too restrained.

"..."

Toge seemed a little embarrassed.

The boy looked at Tiantian embarrassedly and turned to look at the driver in front of him. After all, he didn't dare to speak again.

"Haha."

Seeing this, Tiantian laughed at herself and started to find a topic by herself, so as not to make the atmosphere too awkward.

"To be honest, I don't have a good temper. There's no way, I was born with this virtue, I can't control it even if I want to, so I just gave up. At worst, I'll be more careful in my next life."

"However, people like me will probably end up alone. You must not learn my personality, being straightforward is temporary, but it's very easy to offend others and hurt others will be punished."

Tiantian's expression was rarely bitter and lonely when she said this.

She said this sincerely.

Those who have been in contact with her since childhood either have something to ask of her or were just interested in her.

But in the end, the ending was often that the tea was cold and the people go away.

The only one who really stayed with her was her biological mother.

As the saying went, if someone didn't like to get along with you, it may just be that person's problem.

But if everyone didn't like to get along with you, then it must be your problem.

The process of insisting on yourself was ultimately full of countless conflicts and loneliness.

Perhaps only at the last moment of her life could she see clearly the views and behavior styles she had insisted on throughout her life; whether she could let her feel relieved before death or make her full of regret before death.

•

"No."

When Tiantian was lost in thought, the clear voice of the boy interrupted her.

"..."

Tiantian was stunned.

Turned to look at Toge.

"You are a good person, why do you worry about change?"

Toge spoke softly, his voice was like telling and whispering.

Under the setting sun, the boy's snow-white hair was reflected by the clouds outside the window, and his purple eyes were as clear as crystal, as if a clear spring was rolling in them.

He couldn't help but look at Tiantian's confused look.

In the end, he couldn't help but put his hand gently on the back of Tiantian's hand.

This soft touch reminded Toge of the time before Tiantian regained consciousness.

He had held Tiantian's hand countless times and brought her mentally retarded situation back to the infirmary.

"..."

Tiantian was stunned for a moment, her lips tightly pursed; looking at Toge, and then looking at her hand.

In the end, she still didn't say anything, nor did she pull her hand back.

Just staring at the boy, waiting for him to say the next words.

"Whether you are sober or unconscious, it is precisely because of your almost instinctive courage and empathy for others that you are unique."

Toge looked at Tiantian seriously and said the most words he said this week.

"..."

Tiantian, who had been single since birth, was dumbfounded.

He stared at Toge in amazement.

"Although my parents have taught me since I was a child... to be humble, polite to everyone, and respectful... but I don't think everyone has to be like this."

Toge held Tiantian's hand tightly, seeming a little anxious.

"It doesn't matter."

"If you forcibly erase your own nature, then you are no longer yourself, you will only become the person they want you to be."

"Reborn forward, mediocre backward."

"The reason why Tiantian is so dazzling is because she is the Tiantian now. Even if someone laughed at you before, it was just that Tiantian didn't meet the person who would appreciate you."

Speaking of this.

Toge smiled.

"No one will be lonely for a lifetime, she would always meet the person destined for her."

Tiantian: "..."

Tiantian: "...me? Dazzling?"

How could these two words be connected together without any awkwardness?

Listening to Toge's words, Tiantian was a little hesitant... and a little unexplained fear.

At that moment, this fear told her.

Some emotions in her heart seemed to be shaken.

"No matter what, I will always support you."

Toge said quietly.

The boy lowered his eyes slightly, and his voice was almost inaudible.

"I don't know... how long you will stay here..."

"But I will always accompany you and help you... I... I will also cherish every time we spend together..."

Tiantian: "..."

At this moment, she understood.

In fact, everyone knew some things.

Whether it was Toge or Gojo-sensei, everyone had more or less a few points in their hearts.

But everyone was tacit, and everyone took good care of her.

How could she be so worthy.

In a short life, she could have such an adventure and meet such a person.

"Thank you, really."

Finally, Tiantian gently held Toge's hand and smiled at him.

No matter what the ending was.

During the journey, it was Tiantian's luck to meet the kindness of Toge, who was so innocent and pure, and to be treated like this by him.

"..."

Under Tiantian's gaze.

Toge, who was just steady, instantly returned to his true colors, with red cheeks.

•

The vehicle swayed through the uneven Suribachi City, and the surrounding scenery gradually changed from developed countries to the third world.

On the way, a blind little gangster came over from the side with an iron stick, trying to scam.

As a result, the driver did not give him a chance to live.

He actually drove the car directly to run over him.

"Hey! Don't hit me!"

Tiantian shouted.

Toge was faster, stretched his body forward, and grabbed the driver's steering wheel.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

The driver was furious.

*screech*

The wheels of the car spun, and the gangster was hit by the rearview mirror and ran away.

During this period, because the car suddenly turned, Toge's body immediately lost control and swayed left and right.

Seeing this, Tiantian hurriedly hugged Toge's waist from behind and hugged him back.

Toge: "..."

Great force could make miracles happen.

The driver turned back and glared at the two people, as if he was angry because they stopped him from crushing him into shit.

"..."

However, the two were guests of the Port Mafia after all, and the driver didn't say much, and turned his head back with a dark face.

"F*ck."

Toge and Tiantian heard the driver quietly cursing.

The two looked at each other and didn't say anything.

•

"Miss Yaga, we're here."

After arriving at the destination, the driver threw the two of them down with a stinky face and drove away immediately.

"..."

Tiantian looked at the shabby clinic in front of him speechlessly, and the surrounding environment was full of stench and looked like a relic of a war.

"I didn't expect that there was such a place in Japan."

Tiantian said dumbly.

"I... this is the first time I know... there is such a place in Yokohama."

Toge was also dumbfounded.

For the first time in his life, the environment of the African slums on TV was so close to him.

After all, it was Yokohama, so there were no government officials to take care of it?

"Miss Yaga? Oh... there is another boy? Is it Mr. Inumaki?"

Before the two of them sighed for long, the leader Mori Ogai, wearing a brand new white coat, walked out of the shabby clinic slowly.

Unlike the deep and mysterious vampire temperament when he met with Tiantian before, Mori now looked a little unkempt and smiled approachably.

"Takana..."

Toge had met Mori once before, and his expression was a little alert. He greeted him by speaking.

"Boss Mori...are you in the second phase of the Port Mafia?"

Tiantian looked at the dilapidated clinic in front of her hesitantly and asked.

"Miss Yaga, you are joking. Come in and sit down."

Mori chuckled, without greeting Tiantian, and directly invited the two to come in.

When Toge and Tiantian came in, they found that the clinic was as dirty as a mass grave.

The room was dusty and full of spiders; it looked like no one had used it for a long time; the bed inside was covered with yellow filth, not known if it was blood or sh*t had gone up to eat.

"Achoo!"

Toge sneezed because of the dust; Tiantian quickly got him a napkin.

"Miss Yaga, how do you feel? Here?"

Mori stood at the vent in front of the window, smiling as he ran his fingertips across the mouth of the worn beaker, and turned to ask Tiantian.

How was it?

Tiantian almost laughed at this question.

"Boss Mori, the rats and maggots on your floor are about to fight; you really don't treat us as outsiders."

Too dirty.

Forgive her for not saying something against her will.

The place where stray dogs live at the entrance of the community was cleaner than this.

Mori: "..."

"Ahem!"

Mori was embarrassed for a rare time, and quickly coughed twice to change the subject.

"Unfortunately, there is no way. Since I became the leader, I have been forced to move from here to the top floor of the building, otherwise it would not be covered with dust like this."

Tiantian: "..."

Mori saw that Tiantian had no expression on her face and did not speak, so he continued to speak.

"It’s only two blocks away from the location of the last victim of the 'Finger Serial Murder Case'. Miss Yaga happened to be here, so let’s get started."

"..."

When it came to business, the two people’s expressions became more serious, and Mori also took out a folded map and a marker from his arms.

*swish*

Mori gently shook the map.

On the map was a circular bird’s-eye view of Suribachi City, with red triangular notes marked at twelve locations.

"There are twelve victims in this incident."

Mori explained calmly, his narrow purple eyes curved.

"Seven men, five women. The bodies of the dead were all found to contain an unknown poison— even after they died, a drop of blood could kill five mice."

Then, Mori put down the map, turned around and took out a cage from under the window.

"!"

Tiantian and Toge looked at the cage with a serious look.

In the air.

The mice were bleeding from all seven orifices due to the drug, and their eyes were ferociously wide, at least three times larger than those of normal mice.

And in the mouth of the mice, sharp teeth that were not suitable for rodents grew.

Those teeth were comparable to those of Tyrannosaurus Rex.
