Group Pet Career in Yokohama

"In a meadow, if some weeds grow too high, the whole lawn will lose its beauty and will be trimmed. But people are different. People will resist and are always driven out. Even wild dogs will resist. What was shaken at that time was the foundation of the entire country."

"Humans are social animals, and people with supernatural powers are also human beings. Once they leave this society, they will one day develop into pests that threaten the environment. That kind of situation is the last thing I want to see."

Natsume Soseki explained it this way.

"So this is the reason why this city exists and the direction it is about to develop?" She seemed to understand, this framework built with blood and tenderness, this city of sacrifice and rebirth.

——Let the repelled and feared supernatural beings have a place to live and legally exist here.

It is precisely because of this that the city's structure is constantly adjusted, suppressing some and supporting some... Although it is indeed unfair to some people, it is the most gentle approach.

"Yes, the city I am looking forward to is a city that can be gentle and inclusive... superhumans, ordinary people, mafia, government personnel, etc." He looked at Hill kindly, "of course including you—— Hope you."

His eyes reflected the scenery from hundreds of millions of light-years away, and that scenery could contain the entire universe, let alone his little self.

I have always felt that if people with supernatural abilities are considered "heretics" among ordinary people, then I can be said to be a "heretic" among people with supernatural abilities, a heretic among heretics... This idea has always been obscure, but it germinated very early Already, sprouted from her awareness of the nature of her abilities.

Until she felt the sense of peeping, the seed grew into a giant tree, and the roots were firmly rooted in her heart.

She is like a child playing next to a nuclear bomb. If she is not careful, she will release Pandora's box, bringing disaster to cherished people, unrelated people, and all living creatures.

This kind of thought began to take hold, and for the first time, Hill began to feel bored with his overly keen observation and intuition... If you don't know anything, if you don't understand anything, when you face everyone and get along with everyone, this kind of The thoughts will not turn into a burden and tighten my heart from time to time... I will be able to return to the same as before.

What a selfish and stupid assumption.

Hill admitted that the reason why he didn't tell the gangsters in Hong Kong... was because he was afraid, afraid of their alienation and jealousy, afraid that Lin Taro would give up himself for this city he loves...

Even if it is certain that Dazai, Nakaya, Mr. Rimbaud, and Oda Saku will not alienate themselves because of this reason, but "worry about gains and losses"... Once "worry about gains and losses", even if you see it clearly, you can't help questioning yourself.

Kind of funny... Hill has never felt so "human".

However, Mr. Natsume, the guardian of the city, said: Hill is also tolerated by the city.

Hearing this sentence, Hill suddenly felt that everything didn't matter, no matter whether he would become

The existence that needs to be expelled, no matter what the result becomes, I am indeed accepted by this city at this time, accepted by everyone I meet... that's enough.

Even if it's an ending you don't want to see in the end, then leave with all your memories and feelings contented, without nostalgia, leave here, leave them...

...But once there is a solution, when I have a way to control or strip away that power, it is time for me to come back.

must!

Hill was so determined in his heart that in an instant——all burdens and worries seemed to disappear.

But... the premise is to communicate with that power first.

"Mr. Natsume..." Hill looked up at him, with anxious eyes and a little uneasiness, "The three-colored cat I saw on Old Warehouse Street at the beginning of January was you, right?"

"Well, the two organizations took a large amount of gunpowder at that time, so I went to check it out. Fortunately, firearms accounted for the majority, and gunpowder was useless in the end." He paused here, and finally said Out of the news that Hill has always wanted to know: "Before then, you were wrapped in a mass of 'unnameable things', and suddenly appeared."

"Although I'm just an old man with little knowledge, that kind of terrifying power is by no means a supernatural ability, or even an ability that belongs to this world, and where you come from is still open to question."

Hill's heartbeat stopped for a moment, his breathing gradually became difficult, and his vision became black and red.

So what is yourself! Can't even this world find a place where you belong?

Even in the dead of night, I once had this worst guess, but it was suddenly confirmed... Her throat was suddenly extremely dry, if she didn't even belong to this world...

"But I can affirm that you were born in this world, and the brilliance wrapped in that power gradually condensed into you. Since this world has not rejected you, you are a resident of this world." Natsume Soseki decided Looking directly into Hill's eyes, he was extremely sure of her existence.

If you want a definition, define it by yourself, so as to suppress her anxiety.

It was so deadlocked for a long time, so long that even the ears roared.

"……Um."

Finally, Hill responded weakly, his voice almost undetectable.

Tears welled up in her big goose-yellow eyes—she didn’t cry when she was suppressed by secrets, and she didn’t cry when she was told that she was an outsider from this world... When she was recognized as a resident of this world, Hill Finally, I couldn't suppress the panic and anxiety in my heart.

If crying is a kind of vulnerability, please let me be vulnerable for a while, she thought so, and finally burst into tears uncontrollably.

"Wuuuuuuuu..." Hot tears kept falling from her eyes that brought sunshine to others, washing the whole sky clearer and clearer.

"Grandpa Natsume, if I can't suppress it, I will leave...you can go anywhere!"

I believe that with the power of Grandpa Natsume, it is possible to put myself in a place with no human habitation within a hundred miles, right?Leave yourself alone! This is not eviction, she is voluntary! Voluntary! Again, she

Thinking so self-destructively.

but……

Her voice was hoarse, she didn't know if it was begging or questioning:

"If... I mean, if I can suppress that power, can I stay in this city? Can I still play with everyone? I can also eat desserts, wear nice dresses, be taken care of by everyone, take care of everyone... Right?"

Natsume Soseki's usually wise and calm eyes are full of helplessness at the moment, no matter how smart and how fast he learns, he is still just a child who needs guidance and makes people feel distressed, a gentle and good child.

I wonder if that unreliable kid Mori Ogai can really teach this strong and fragile little guy...

Natsume Soseki took out a clean white handkerchief from his suit pocket and handed it to Hill with an extremely gentle tone: "Wipe it quickly, you will become a little cat."

"Don't worry, Hill, no one wants you to leave." His cane tapped the floor lightly, making a calming knocking sound, "Be brave and communicate with 'it', I'll be right here with you."

"Don't worry, this is Honda's different space. What is commendable is the solidity of the space, and all your hopes will come true. Now you only need to take a small step."

"...Aren't you afraid?" Hill carefully wiped the red corners of his eyes, "Once I can't control it, Grandpa Natsume will definitely be in danger, right?"

"Since I have to bear you as a grandfather." He paused, and said seriously: "And as an adult, how can I let a child bear all this? I will stay here because I believe in you...then Will you face it bravely because you believe in me?"

Since it is the power surrounding Hill's birth, it is very likely to be controlled by Hill.What he said is indeed true, but there is another reason:

Even if something went wrong and Hill couldn't control it, causing the power to go berserk, someone needs to pass on the information here. He rubbed the pocket watch on his chest that looked like an ornament. It was a supernatural item that could be passed on. Image and analyze the data of ability fluctuations... Maybe this information needs to be exchanged with his life, but so what?

——If it is for this city.

Hill looked at Natsume Soseki hesitantly, but got an encouraging and kind look from him.

In the end, she decided to respect Natsume Soseki's choice, so... let alone make mistakes.

Hill complied with his heart, his consciousness dived into the deepest bottom layer, and tried to communicate with that force...

A soft band of light burst out suddenly, and the light-woven skirt sprinkled countless gold powders, condensing into that familiar figure.

Hill couldn't believe it, "Archangel?!"

She really...

In the next moment, the light was eroded, and her beautiful face was torn apart as if it was polluted, or it could not be said to be polluted, but it just returned to the essence of the energy body, becoming an "indescribable thing". The same kind that overflowed from the space gap merged into a large group.

When seeing those overflowing things, Natsume Soseki knew that the space could not control such things.

There is no specific volume and shape, and it can only make people feel that it is excited and trying to restrain the extreme

The explosion of violent energy is something more terrifying than the most powerful supernatural power, and it is more destructive than man-made nuclear weapons.

In an instant, the space vibrated non-stop, and the bookshelves and books were torn into powder by the energy fluctuations, vaporized and disappeared in an instant.

Fortunately, Hill and Natsume Soseki were not affected in the slightest, as if they were deliberately avoided.

Natsume Soseki breathed a sigh of relief, the situation was much better than expected.

Hill was relieved. In any case, since the familiar "Archangel" was one of them, she was sure.

That energy is still going on a rampage, like a brat released by parents to have fun.

"Kacha——" It seemed that the space was about to be cracked.

"Stop!" Hill anxiously stopped. He still doesn't know what effect this energy will have on people. Brother Ranbu and Sister Jingzi are still outside. Once the space is broken, they will be the first to face it.

In the next second, the energy really stopped, but the next scene was unbelievable—it actually clumps, shrank itself by a large circle, and tried not to touch the barrier of space as obediently as possible. The look... seems to say that it has been very careful.

Natsume Soseki raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"..."

Hill has never been so speechless, even the tears she just shed have become cheap, don't tell her that this is what she was frightened and guarded all day before... It's too cheap!

As if he could feel the slander in Hill's heart, the sharp energy suddenly became soft like black cotton, shrinking into a lump, and directly lifted Hill up, as if playing around, being "cleaned" by it Flew a few times in the space.

"Hey! Let me down!"

Hill is struggling constantly, she still hasn't calmed down yet! This bad thing who always peeps at her like an idiot at night!

As if afraid that Hill would fall, the thing immediately put Hill down. It was extremely obedient, rubbing left and right beside Hill, but it still couldn't get Hill's attention.

It was like a deflated ball, paralyzed in mid-air, and suddenly cheered up enough to breathe. It took out a black cat doll from some corner, and rushed in all at once.

The next second, the black cat started to move, and with a "chirp", it fell into Hill's arms.

In disbelief, Hill turned the black-core glutinous rice ball cat in his arms over and over for a few seconds, and then immediately looked through his backpack, only to realize in a daze that Dazai was gone.

"You thief! Give me back Dazai-nyan!!" Hill grabbed its two soft cat paws and shook it wildly.

As Hill kept shaking it, a circle of stars appeared on its forehead, indicating that it had fainted.

Hill: ...this showman!!!

And Natsume Soseki almost completely relaxed his vigilance, looking leisurely, as if he was watching his granddaughter playing with pets.
