Chapter 28
I'm back to the sheep.
I was not particularly happy lying in my bed, not even as happy as lying on the cot in Dr. Mori's clinic.
I felt like a corpse.
Maybe it's because I've gotten enough sleep today?
Apart from factors such as lack of energy and fever, my sleep was extremely restless.
I am not a very strong person, I clearly know and remember that I killed someone.
I killed two of them myself, one with a gun, and at least twenty others were killed indirectly by me.
But indirectly killing someone doesn't feel much better than doing it yourself.
I can't believe it.
…
After seeing my brother like this, would you still think that Rong is a good boy?
No, actually if you think about it carefully, my brother has been in GSS, so he may have done more things like this than me, and seen more things like this than me, right?
Will my brother be as unhappy as I am?
No, my brother is much sadder than I am, he has seen much more than I have, and he is also much more sensitive than I am.
…
A calico cat suddenly appeared on the window of Yuxing and I.
I opened the window and let it in.
Stroking the calico cat's ears, I asked it, "Can't you find the way? There's no food here... Wait, I have a sausage here."
I looked at Yuxing on the other bed and said to the calico cat, "Go out. Eating here will disturb Yuxing."
I left holding the calico cat.
Divide the sausage into two portions, eat half yourself and give the other half to Mr. Calico Cat.
Looking at the big round moon and considering that Mr. Calico Cat couldn't understand human language, I started to talk about my experiences over the past two days.
"Mr. Calico Cat, I was kidnapped recently. It was so dangerous. The atmosphere there was like the confinement room in my home. I was so scared that I couldn't move."
"But I was very good. I escaped, even though I was shot three times in the end... here, here, and here."
I pointed to my shoulder, right abdomen, and thigh.
…
"Mr. Calico Cat, I don't know if you can understand me... but, just consider it as payment for this sausage, please listen to me."
…
"Mr. Calico Cat, I killed more than 20 people. I don't know if you understand. Although Chuuya and Shirase may think it's nothing, they may even praise me for being amazing."
"But, but..." My voice was choked with sobs.
I crossed my legs and hugged them.
"Mr. Calico Cat, they should be able to live well, right? If I weren't here, if I didn't have to kill them."
"Why? Why is this happening? I just want to see my brother alive, to see the sunrise again, to give flowers to everything in the world that deserves to be loved..."
I started to talk incoherently.
"I hate this world so much. There are so many good people in this world. Why are there so many terrible things in this world..."
…
"Mr. Calico Cat... I want to go home. Not that home, but that home, that one... you know?"
Mr. Calico Cat doesn't understand what I say, and I don't expect him to understand what I say.
…………
…
I picked up Mr. Calico Cat and put him on my lap. Mr. Calico Cat struggled for a moment, but it seemed that he was afraid of hurting me, so when I really hugged him, he struggled less vigorously.
I stroked Mr. Calico Cat's fur with one hand, half-supported myself with the other hand, and looked up at the stars in the sky.
It's so dazzling.
*
I arrived at the agreed place at the agreed time and saw the person I had agreed to meet.
"Why are you standing here? It's windy and your sister will be worried."
He couldn't suppress the itching in his throat and started coughing.
"It's none of your business."
"Okay, you're right... I thought you wouldn't come, after all, you made quite a commotion."
Akutagawa Ryunosuke and I walked side by side.
"But he didn't continue last night."
I nodded. "Oh - I see. It's surprising that you would collect such information."
Akutagawa paused, then suddenly quickened his pace, bringing with him a gust of cold wind. "That's what Gin told me."
*
The old woman was looking around at the beach with her granddaughter. When she saw us, she felt relieved.
"Hello, Grandma, where are our goods?"
She looked at Akutagawa warily before speaking to me, "You have to give me the money first."
"Okay~"
She led us to a dark alley and we saw two boxes about 1.2 meters high. I patted Akutagawa.
"Thanks a lot."
He glanced at me, then uncomplainingly carried both boxes away.
I saw that he still had some energy left, and I said I wanted a Rashomon model, so I quickened my pace.
"As long as the fish is still fresh, you can sell it for a better price. Hurry up and go," I urged Akutagawa.
After giving the fish to the old man, we still had some fish left over, so I simply asked Akutagawa to put the box of fish at the street corner and start shouting loudly.
"Fresh sea fish, who wants fresh sea fish..."
Soon someone was attracted by my attention and came over to ask about the price.
After a long bargaining, I finally got the price I wanted as expected.
Just as I was happily counting the money, the second wave of people came to me.
I looked at his tall figure that completely blocked out the sunlight, and as expected, I raised my head to look into his eyes.
"Hello? Do you need some sea fish? I caught some at four or five this morning."
He laughed, pointed at me, turned around and said to his friends, "She asked me if I needed her sea fish. Doesn't she know what kind of business my family is in?"
He leaned down again, stared into my eyes, and poked my shoulder with the baseball bat in his hand. "Get out of here, and don't make me say it again."
A stream of blood flowed from the corner of my mouth. I wiped it with my hand and said happily, "Ah, it's bleeding."
I looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, I got hurt accidentally a few days ago, so it's easy to get hurt... Well, since it's bleeding, can we consider it as defense?"
While he was stunned, I quickly lay aside and avoided the black beast that was rushing towards me from behind, as if it wanted to kill me.
He shouted to Akutagawa who was resting in the shadows because he was ashamed of giving up, "Don't kill them! Don't destroy them!"
Akutagawa gave me a sidelong glance and said, "You're so long-winded."
The black beast stabbed into the man's shoulder, causing him to scream, and at the same time many branches branched out and injured the people who had not yet reacted in the same way.
I squatted in front of the leader and said, "You will like the remaining fish, right?"
Pay three times the price.
*
I shared with Akutagawa, no, I shared the fruits of his labor that he had obtained through force.
"I'll take 70% and you'll take 30%... Don't be angry, this is my capital. I'm just taking 10% after I get the capital back."
Therefore, I completely uphold fairness and justice to the end!
I waved goodbye to him, and he coughed twice and asked me, "Aren't you going back to the sheep now?"
I told him that I still had to look for a buyer for tomorrow. He frowned, thought for a while, and then said to me, "I'll go with you."
The smile disappeared from my face, as if I had dropped my disguise. “Why? I won’t be kidnapped again.”
He said to me irritably, "I don't think you have what it takes to stand up to those scumbags."
He can't ignore me because I'm his partner. Without me, the old lady and the old man won't feel at ease.
I looked at him, and the expression on his face seemed to say: Weak people are trouble.
"What about your sister and your friends?"
"So I advise you to hurry up."
I:……
I thought of Chuuya, who I coaxed for a long time in the morning.
"I can handle them."
He asked me back, "Why didn't you use it when you were kidnapped? There's no point in talking about it. Let's try it!"
It's coming! Help! Rashomon is coming straight at my face!
At this critical moment, a red light appeared in front of me and suppressed Rashomon.
“…Chuuya, why did you come out now? I really have the ability to solve this problem on my own.”
"Shut up, you little brat with a big mouth."
Akutagawa was surprised at the appearance of Chuuya Nakahara, but after Chuuya appeared, he still took back Rashomon.
After all, he just wanted to test my strength, not to fight with the King of Sheep... Wait, fighting with the King of Sheep doesn't seem to be a bad idea...
I looked at the red light on Chuuya's body, and then at Rashomon who was ready to make a move behind Akutagawa, and I began to have some doubts.
Nakahara Chuuya now obviously feels that my partner Akutagawa Ryunosuke has betrayed us, and Akutagawa is now in a mysterious belligerent state.
I can only... No, it would be easier for me to escape if they start fighting, right?
Well, why not?
So I slowly slipped to the side. Akutagawa was very satisfied that I didn't disturb them, and Chuuya thought I was trying to hide so he let me go.
*
As long as there is no one around me, I can just walk on the side of the road and avoid the crowds.
It was expected that Chuuya would follow me. Given his personality, there was no way he would let me go out alone right after I got back.
I just didn't expect that Akutagawa was also afraid that I would be kidnapped again... Do I look like someone who can be easily kidnapped?
Ignoring the bandages on me, my face, and my height, that shouldn't be the case, right?
I uttered the above bold words while leaning on crutches and dragging my left leg.
He didn't lie to Akutagawa when he said he was going to negotiate with the buyer. The fish the old man bought were enough for two days, and we still have to continue delivering goods tomorrow.
Otherwise, Akutagawa's partners won't have enough to eat, and I myself have set a goal to make a lot of money.
*
I dragged my legs and went door to door to gather information. Although this method was effortless for me in the past, it was now hindered by my body.
I was tired and in pain after walking for only a few houses.
I thought about what I should do because the wounds on my stomach and legs were really taking a toll on me.
But I can't bother Chuuya, he still has a lot of things to deal with, and I can't bother Akutagawa, he is also a patient.
