After finishing his off-topic remarks, Kunikida really thought seriously about the situation in the orphanages he knew. His brain was running, and he quickly thought of one: [There is an orphanage in Yotsuya Ward, Tokyo. I think it should match your requirements. standard. 】
Kunikida said: [Qian Ye should also know about superpowers. When I mentioned it just now, your reaction was not surprising. ] Seeing him nod, he continued, [The armed detective agency where I work has an orphan. He is a superpower... His superpowers are not very controllable. He grew up in this orphanage since he was a child. A while ago. When he turned eighteen, he was kicked out and lived in Yokohama. 】
"You mean, this orphanage raised a child with uncontrollable powers until he was eighteen years old?" Qian Ye said in surprise.
Kunikida nodded: [This child probably doesn’t understand how much kindness he has inherited now. I guess his situation in the orphanage is not very good, but for a private orphanage that is poor and has no funding, this will bring endless trouble. It is already rare to raise a person with super powers until he is eighteen years old. 】
"Of course, I checked some domestic laws. For minors over the age of fourteen, the government will provide and recommend employment consultation and positions. Letting them leave until they are eighteen is probably beyond their capabilities."
Usually when they reach the age of fourteen, they will be allowed to leave the orphanage and become self-reliant.
Qian Ye pondered: "It sounds like this orphanage is quite humane." Putting aside everything else, eighteen years old... If the child Kunikida mentioned was taken in as an infant and raised a full ten years, Eight years, that’s amazing.
You must know that the Divorce Ability War has only been fourteen years ago. As an island country that was defeated in the war, it was still at war eighteen years ago, and it was only in the past few years that society became more stable.
Back then, his parents chose to take him to live abroad because they felt that the island country was too chaotic. This is not an easy decision to make. In a strange country, I am not a very capable person, and my family is not very wealthy. I only went abroad to protect my family from the suffering of war.
I suffered a lot during this period, but life gradually became easier.
…His parents never regretted it. Because of his relatives on his mother's side, one of his cousins was forced to go to the battlefield, and even his corpse could not return to his hometown.
That cousin was only in his teens at the time. And if his father hadn't been in a car accident, he might have been forced to go to war.
Later I heard that his brother had become a military policeman.
Qianye said decisively: "Dubu, can you let me see this young man? I also want to ask some questions. If everything goes well, I will include this orphanage as the first place to be funded... If I My friend’s novels can be sold smoothly, and the income can be obtained, and the subsequent funding can keep up... I wonder if that orphanage will agree to such unreliable long-term funding."
What Qianye put forward was not a difficult request, but Kunikida still wanted to consult Nakajima Atsushi for his opinion first.
Eighteen years old is not considered a child in Yokohama... Kunikida graduated early and was already a mathematics teacher at this age, but Atsushi Nakajima looked far less mature than he did at that time.
This was also the reason why he recommended that orphanage to Qian Ye.
Nakajima Atsushi didn't realize what force supported his current innocence and immaturity. However, Nakajima Atsushi's character showed inferiority and cowardice, which also made Kunikida understand that his life in the orphanage was not very easy.
That orphanage protected him, but it also hurt him. This was the conclusion that Kunikida Doppo, as a detective, concluded.
Therefore, if Qian Ye wants to consult about the orphanage, he must first obtain Atsushi Nakajima's consent.
What made Kunikida feel complicated was that after he went to Nakajima Atsushi's dormitory to inquire, the other party agreed immediately.
He called Qian Ye and said to him who was waiting for the result: [I heard that you intended to donate to that orphanage, and he agreed without hesitation. 】
Qianye was stunned for a moment, but he already had a good impression of Atsushi Nakajima before he met him. He smiled and said, "He is such a gentle person."
The situation of agreeing to others can be roughly divided into two types. Agreeing decisively and agreeing after hesitation are completely different.
The latter means that the other party will cooperate, but if you want him to cooperate with more things, you will need time to communicate and comfort.
But the former... If someone asked him to take him to the orphanage and talk to the director about the relevant matters, the other party would agree.
From Kunikida's brief words just now, Qian Ye realized that something must have happened to this boy in the orphanage that he didn't want to look back on. Now it seems... there is pain, but he cannot escape it completely.
He must have deep feelings for the orphanage in his heart.
Kunikida recalled that when the American group invaded, he insisted on protecting Izumi Kyoka and even almost died because of it. He pursed his lips and whispered: "He is just a foolhardy fool." 】
As he said this, the smile on his lips confirmed Qian Ye's words.
Qian Ye heard the smile in his tone: "It seems that Dubu still appreciates this new junior."
Kunikida didn't want to answer this question, maybe because he was teased and his expression was a little uncomfortable. [Then let’s go to the Whirlpool Cafe downstairs at three o’clock tomorrow afternoon. It’s tea time and there’s a half-hour break. 】
Qian Ye naturally had no objection, half an hour was enough for him.
In the afternoon of the next day, Qian Ye appeared at the Uzumaki Cafe on time. Kunikida, who had already taken a seat inside, waved to him. Opposite him were two young-looking people, a man and a woman.
Nakajima Atsushi sat by the window, next to Izumi Kyoka. He looked very nervous. In contrast, Izumi Kyoka, a fourteen-year-old girl, was very calm.
They actually came a minute earlier than Qian Ye. Izumi Kyoka ignored Qian Ye who came over and asked Atsushi Nakajima expressionlessly: "Do you want milk? It can calm you down."
Atsushi Nakajima shook his head quickly: "No, no need. I'm fine. Kyoka-chan, you don't have to worry."
After Mr. Kunikida came to see him yesterday, Izumi Kyoka was worried that his face might be too ugly when he returned, so the other party proposed to accompany him.
Izumi Kyoka didn't hear what Atsushi Nakajima and Kunikida talked about, but she only knew that the young man needed help from others.
During the previous combination incident, she had already given up her life, but Nakajima Atsushi saved her. The same thing happened the day before yesterday... Someone sent a piece of information about her parents. Nakajima Atsushi worked hard to find it for her. It was also from that piece of information that she untied her feelings for Yasha Shirayuki.
Izumi Kyoka always wanted to do something to repay Atsushi Nakajima, and she felt that now was an opportunity. Although she doesn't know what she will face next, but... the dagger is sharpened. As long as someone dares to harm Nakajima Atsushi, she can subdue him in minutes!
The matter was not as serious as Izumi Kyoka thought. After all, the person was introduced by Kunikida and was still his friend. Out of trust in Kunikida's character, Izumi Kyoka was not hostile to Qianye's senses.
She opened her big eyes and looked straight at Qian Ye, who was sitting next to Kunikida. Her eyes were very calm and without the slightest malice, but Qian Ye felt that the other person was evaluating her.
What to evaluate?
It can't be to evaluate his force value, right?
Qianye dismissed the thought that came up, only thinking that he was overthinking - he had read too many negative news about Yokohama before, and was reminded by Kunikida that he also regarded this place as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, but just The experience of these two days was actually not bad.
Apart from the more distinctive scam calls, there was nothing special about the encounter.
He felt that as long as he didn't deliberately seek death, he would most likely be able to live a peaceful life, otherwise all the ordinary residents of Yokohama would have fled long ago.
