zero……
I seem to understand now...
The look in your eyes back then...
With a sad expression, Scotland wrapped around the apron specially left for him by his friend, held the kitchen utensils that his friend had once carried, and stood where his friend once stood.
Make breakfast for Tsushima Shuji.
Why...why did things become like this?
zero……
Is this how you came here?
Scotland thought about the day his friend rushed out of the door without looking back, and fell into deep thought.
"Scotland~ Is breakfast ready~ I'm so hungry~" the mission target poked his head out of the kitchen and asked eagerly.
"Yes, it will be ready soon." Scotland, holding the spatula, turned around and replied gently.
Just a very common boy...
Zero...can't you even do the job of taking care of an ordinary boy?
With this thought in mind, Scotland, after making breakfast, watched the boy naturally slump in his position after finishing the meal.
"Don't you need to go to school, Tsushima-kun?" After all, no matter how you look at it...they are all teenagers who are still in school, right?
And what he is wearing is also a uniform.
"Yes." Tsushima Shuji nodded.
"So Scotland hurry up and wash the dishes, and then drive me to school." He urged matter-of-factly.
Scotland:?
Why am I still responsible for sending you to school?
"Hey~ Because Tou-kun did all this before~" The young man seemed puzzled by this.
"Since Scotland is replacing him, he should do all his work~" he said confidently.
Scotland: ...So not only did you cook, you also became a driver? zero……
"Tou-kun also prepared the lunch for lunch. It's a little too late today. Don't forget Scotland tomorrow~" the boy reminded him as if he had thought of something.
"That's right." The young man who got off the car at the entrance of Diguang seemed to have thought of something and stopped.
"Remember to pick me up at the door when school is over, Midorikawa-kun." the boy reminded.
"Also, I want to eat seaweed soup and crab meat for dinner~"
"Bye~" He slowly got out of the car.
Scotland in the driver's seat silently held the steering wheel.
zero……
It turns out that not only do you have to do three meals a day, but you also have to be responsible for transporting you to and from school?
Then here comes the problem.
Scotland looked grave.
Is there anything else to do?
Shuji Tsushima told him, yes.
Laundry, cooking, cleaning, transportation to and from school are all his duties.
Scotland:? ? ?
I thought I was joining a criminal organization? Instead of...a nanny training institution?
But...if that's all...
Scotland: Not a big problem/confident.
Zero, does this difficulty stump you? Did you run away so scared?
Until Tsujima Shuji and I were buying groceries at a supermarket convenience store, the other party suddenly stopped by a river.
Let Scotland go shopping alone and wait for him here.
On the surface, Scotland agreed happily, but in fact, he was silently hiding in the corner and peeping.
For the other party to let me go like this...could he be trying to get in touch with someone?
As he thought this, he watched the young man take off his coat and throw it casually on the shore.
Do we need to rely on clothes to convey information? This goal is too big...
He thought this, and the next moment, he saw the young man falling into the river with his arms spread out.
Scotland:? ? ? ! ! !
Could it be... that he wanted to escape by jumping into the river? !
Give up, you can't run away from me...
With this thought in mind, he rushed to the river and saw the young man in the water with his eyes closed and his expression peaceful, showing no signs of struggling or swimming.
As if aware of his sight, the young man opened his kite-colored left eye and looked at him across the water.
He couldn't see the slightest desire to survive from those dead eyes.
That child is seeking death.
From the first meeting, the most eye-catching thing about the boy was the bandages covering his entire body.
Only part of the palms of both hands and a small part of the left face are exposed.
What's hidden beneath the bandages?
Scotland had also thought about it, but the boy's words and deeds were very normal and he didn't seem to be affected at all, so he gave up his desire to explore.
At this moment, looking into the young man's eyes, he felt the desire to explore again.
"Plop——"
Another figure jumped into the river.
The boy who sank quietly looked at the figure swimming towards him and closed his eyes.
[please let me……]
[...Just wake up...]
"Wow--"
The sound of breaking the water surface was heard, and Scotland pulled the young man who looked calm and seemed to have fallen into eternal sleep to the case.
"Tsushima-kun? Tsushima-kun? Are you okay? Are you still conscious?" Scotland took emergency measures for drowning, with an anxious tone.
Not to mention that if the other party really dies, his mission will end here and end in failure.
Even on his own, he didn't want to watch a young man... die in front of him when it was not a mission.
Fortunately, the boy opened his eyes.
The tired eyes, as if they would close in the next second, stared blankly at the sky.
In his eyes, nothing was reflected.
"It's so boring..." he said.
"what are you saying?
Scotland couldn't believe it.
"Hey~ It's a surprise, a surprise~ A belated surprise to welcome Midorikawa-kun~ Have you ever been surprised~" The young man sat up and said in a long voice with his eyes closed.
Scotland:……
"...Please don't scare me, Tsushima-kun." The man said in a gentle and deep tone.
"whispering sound--"
"Toru-kun isn't scared that easily~" the boy muttered.
Scotland:……
Zero...could it be...
Do you often encounter surprises like this?
in the following days.
Zhu Fu Jingguang understood why his friend was so happy when he left.
More than once, in the middle of the journey, he suddenly saw a figure falling from the sky and landed at his feet. The young man with his head covered in blood greeted him with a smile while dripping blood.
I saw a figure hanging there dangling on a tree by the roadside. The young man who had already started to stick out his tongue greeted him with his eyes closed.
While fishing, I caught a figure floating on the water. The other person spat out water and waved to him.
Scotland:……
Scotland felt tired after saving someone for the nth time.
At the beginning...why did I feel that an organization member had a code name at a young age...
Will he be an ordinary... normal boy?
Zero...why don't you come back.
…
Toru Amuro, who is enjoying his part-time job life: Kagemitsu must be being tortured by that little devil Kaa right now.
Come on, Jingguang.
Other staff: Mr. Amuro has been in a very good mood these days...
[How about you come back, I can't hold it anymore. ——scotch (Scotland)]
Toru Amuro looked at the messages on his phone and couldn't help but shudder.
go back? Will you continue to be tortured by Kaa?
Sorry Jingguang.
[You must complete the tasks you take on well. ——bourbon (Bourbon)]
[Kaaota...has been trying to commit suicide, did you know? ——scotch (Scotland)]
[I know, but... don't check him out, even Gin can't do anything to him. ——bourbon (Bourbon)]
[Why? ——scotch (Scotland)]
[That adult seems to value Kaa's brain very much. ——bourbon (Bourbon)]
[Khal committed suicide, possibly because he was ill. ——bourbon (Bourbon)]
[Is he sick? ——scotch (Scotland)]
[Picture Diagnosis Record—bourbon]
[For him, suicide may be a quirk of a very small number of geniuses - bourbon]
Scotland looked at the diagnosis certificate on the news and fell into thinking.
A brain valued by the leader of the organization?
Kaa...how much of a genius does he have to be?
