[Tutor] Who's Story

Tanaka couldn't help but feel that these few days were a bit tiring after completing the procedures and contracts for renting out the house by himself, and then finding a single apartment that was being rented out.But he thinks it's worth it, and he doesn't want to make himself weak, because he is only one person, sometimes others can't be relied on, and when it's important, he still has to rely on himself.

Tanaka moved into a new house early this morning, and he sorted out his luggage a little.Afterwards, he was going to go to Obsidian, and brought some of his luggage and Abu in Obsidian.

He was busy these few days, and he had no time to go back to Obsidian.Tanaka was a little worried about the dog. It would find something to eat by itself, and it wasn't bullied by other stray cats or dogs, right?

But when he really returned to Obsidian, he didn't find Abu.The food plate with one corner missing was still there, but Abu was nowhere to be seen, and no matter how he called, he didn’t hear him respond.

Maybe it went somewhere to play?Tanaka thought so, so that night he wrapped himself in a thin shirt and lay on the broken sofa in the Obsidian Center all night, but he didn't see Abu come back all night.However, it suddenly became cold that night, and the field started to shed tears from the cold, probably because of the wind and cold.

But Tanaka is more worried about the missing Abu than the wind and cold.Holding a dozen tissues bought at a nearby convenience store, he walked around Obsidian Paradise several times, but he saw a lot of stray cats and dogs, but he didn't know the brown dog that would only wag its tail and act coquettishly at him. Son.

"Abu—" I don't know how many times this is, but Tanaka didn't get a response after all.

Tanaka was a little at a loss, where did Abu go?At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the nearby woods. Tanaka turned his head and called out in surprise, "Abu?"

But a man emerged from the woods with a metal nose ring on his nose.

So it wasn't...Tanaka curled his lips, turned his head and was about to leave.

"Wait, you!" A voice came from behind, Tanaka turned around dissatisfied, and there were three more people beside the guy with the nose ring.

"What's the matter?" Tanaka took out a tissue and blew his nose.Then put the used tissue into the small plastic bag in his hand and put it away. He looked at these people.

"...Boy, blow your nose in front of us, look down on us?" said one of the people with many earrings on their ears.

"It's nothing, it's just that if you don't wipe it, the snot will come out." Tanaka explained solemnly, and he tilted his head again, "So, what's the matter with you?"

"Hmph... Brother, to be honest, we are a little short of money recently. So, seeing that we have such a fateful meeting, how much money do you lend us? Let me see, how much money do you have with you now?" one of them stepped forward and said.

"Well... Even so, I don't have a lot of money." Tanaka said, "If you lack money, earn it yourself and save some money. I think you are very free now, why don't you go to work?"

"Boy, did you not understand our words? We mean..." The guy with the nose ring was interrupted by Tanaka before he finished speaking.

"I understand, but I will never give you money." Tanaka was very impatient.

Several people looked at each other and thought at the same time: Is this kid lacking a muscle?

"I'll go if it's okay." Tanaka said indifferently.

"Wait, wait! Do you really think you can leave like this?" Several people cracked their fists, "It seems that you won't be obedient if you don't make you suffer!"

"Do you want to fight? It's better not to be like this." Tanaka said, "I'm not in a good mood today, you will get hurt."

"Huh?" A few hooligans sneered, "I'm overthinking my strength, I'll let you have a taste of the master!"

Tanaka pursed his lips, dropped the tissue and rushed over.

※※※

"I told you I would get hurt." Tanaka crossed his arms and looked at the people who fell on the ground in front of him, "You still don't believe it."

The four aggressive hooligans all fell to the ground. Among them, the guy with the nose ring raised his head tremblingly. Tanaka saw half of his cheek swollen. He pleaded with Tanaka: "Brother...Brother, forgive us——"

"Shut up." Tanaka said coldly, although he said so... But he didn't intend to do anything to them... What's the point of begging him so hard?

"Uh, we were wrong big brother! Forgive us—" Someone still shouted again.

"I just said shut up, it's too noisy!" Tanaka frowned.

The other party fell silent all of a sudden, laying on the ground and not daring to get up.

Tanaka felt that the other party looked a little pitiful, but he didn't know what to say.At this time, he had a flash of inspiration, and said, "Oh, let's do this... If you do one thing for me, I will spare you."

"Yes, big brother! No...don't say one thing, anything is fine! Big brother, please accept us as younger brothers! We are happy to serve you!" The guy with the nose ring got up from the ground and said courteously.

Tanaka feels a headache, and this appearance is also very disturbing...

"Anyway, please do this first... Help me find a brown dog with a red collar, it's this big..." Tanaka gestured, "Its name is Abu."

"Looking for a dog? Is it the dog raised by the eldest brother?" The guy with a lot of earrings asked.

"Yes...no, when did I agree to be your big brother?" Tanaka's mouth twitched, "No matter what, you go outside to look for it, I will look for it in Obsidian Paradise, and come here to look for me after I find it, I will Wait here until evening."

"Wait bro—no, I mean... what's your last name?" asked the guy with the nose ring.

"...Tanaka." Tanaka spat out his surname lukewarmly, and then left the delinquent youths with a back.

A gust of cold wind blows through, and Tanaka disappears from the sight of the unscrupulous youths.

"Just now he said his name is 'Tanaka', right?" The guy with a lot of earrings had an indescribably weird expression on his face.

"What's the matter, do you know him? There are many people with the surname Tanaka..."

"I also heard from my younger brother who is a few years younger than me... This is a gathering place for middle school students and gangsters, right? Didn't we come here today to commemorate it? I heard that in the spring of this year, someone occupied the Obsidian Center, The passage leading to the second floor was destroyed. At the same time, a boy with a round face who looked easy to be bullied could often be seen in and out of Obsidian Paradise at the same time... All the bad boys who provoked him were beaten by him! It is said that The boy’s surname was Tanaka. Once dozens of people besieged him, and they were beaten into pig’s heads. Since then, the guys who have been working here have not dared to play with Tanaka’s ideas. Let's go..." He swallowed as he spoke, "Thinking about it now, the boy my brother mentioned matches the person we met today..."

"No way..." The voice of the guy wearing the nose ring was a little trembling, "We... seem to have offended some very important people!"

"If you have time to lament here, why don't you hurry up and finish what Big Brother Tanaka told you—don't you all want to turn into pig heads!" The young man with hair dyed bright red screamed.

Everyone agreed with his opinion, and ran out of Obsidian Paradise to look for the puppy named Abu.

Tanaka returned to the Obsidian Center and sat down on the shabby red sofa.A little sleepy... He took a nap, and when he woke up, he felt his throat was more uncomfortable and his nose was stuffy.Blowing his nose again, Tanaka stood up, sighed, and decided to go out to buy something to eat, and it was almost noon now.

I bought rice balls and drinks at the convenience store, and I walked back to the gate of Obsidian Paradise, just in time to see a person stop the motorcycle there.

"Ah, brother!" It was the guy with the nose ring.

"...Who is your big brother?" Tanaka couldn't help but ask.

"Let's not talk about that for now." The guy with the nose ring scratched his head, "I found... the dog you mentioned."

"Really? Where is it? Take me there!" Tanaka suddenly became excited.

"Uh, well... I'll take you there..." The guy with the nose ring took a hat from the trunk of the motorcycle and threw it to Tanaka.

Tanaka put on his hat and said to him very seriously: "Hey, drive smoothly, don't drive fast, don't violate traffic rules, otherwise..."

"Yes! I will definitely do what my brother says!"

"...So who is your big brother!"

The wind was blowing in his ears, and the driver in front drove the locomotive very slowly, Tanaka felt a tingle in his heart, as if something was wrong.

"That...that dog...although I found it, but it's not a happy thing..."

At this moment, the guy with the nose ring stammered out a word.

Not a good thing?Tanaka frowned, Abu...what's wrong?

"Don't talk too much, just take me there." Tanaka heard himself say so.

He didn't want to hear the next words, and he didn't dare to listen.

※※※

In the pet hospital, Tanaka saw the puppy lying motionless on the bed at a glance.He walked over and saw the puppy with its eyes closed, part of its brown fur turned dark red because of the blood, and one leg showed a strange shape.

"Abu." Tanaka barked, but the puppy didn't respond at all.

Tanaka stretched out his hand to touch the puppy's back, and the touch was cold and stiff.

"Are you the owner of this dog? It was hit by a car on the side of the road this morning...Although the driver who caused the accident brought it here right away...but we still couldn't save it." A little nurse walked by , she explained.

"What! Who gave the big brother's dog!" The gangster on the side shouted, "Who is the perpetrator? Ah?"

"We're sorry...well, I have that gentleman's phone number, I'll call him over right away..." Facing these punks, the nurse panicked.

"Hurry up! Humph, you must teach that guy a good lesson, and you'll have to beat him hard!" said the man wearing the nose ring, and he patted Tanaka on the shoulder, "Brother...don't worry, We will definitely make that person pay the price!"

"...No need." Tanaka didn't raise his head, "It's my fault."

If he didn't keep Abu, and if he was by his side, this kind of thing wouldn't happen... If grandpa was still there, he would definitely not let Abu run around on the street alone, and would definitely take good care of him.

"No, big brother... how could it be big brother's fault? It's obviously the fault of the driver who caused the accident!"

"No, it's my fault...it's always been my fault..." Tanaka's fingers brushed across the puppy's body, it was his fault, he killed Abu.Once... Twice... The previous time it was only so small, but this time Abu was taken care of by his grandfather and grew up, but it was destroyed by his own hands... It died in the end...

"Big brother... don't be sad, big brother... Uh, I know a good pet store that has everything in it!" The earring-wearing person said hastily.

Tanaka turned around and glared at him, but the man immediately fell silent.Tian Zhong let out a breath, and he saw several other punks still picking on the nurse. He strode over and swept behind their knees, and the punks fell to the ground.

"Uh, brother, don't be angry, we will seek justice for the puppy!" The guy with the nose ring quickly got up and said.

"Shut up." Tanaka narrowed his eyes, exuding a dangerous aura, "Who is the big brother... You all go out."

"Uh...we're not..."

"Get out, don't make me say it a second time. Also, don't appear in front of us again." Tanaka looked at the gangsters who were still staring at him blankly, raised his chin and said again, "Not yet Go? Or do you have no feet and need me to ask you out in person?"

The gangsters looked at each other, then stopped talking and walked out one by one.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Tanaka said to the little nurse.

"No...where..." The little nurse didn't know what to say to this person who the little bastards were terrified of.

At this time, another nurse on the side answered: "Sir, we will contact the driver of the accident right now, please wait a moment."

"No, no need... I don't want to see him." Tanaka said, "But please inform him that he will arrange for the disposal of the corpse, of course the cost is also, so I will go first."

After speaking, Tanaka took off the dog's blood-stained collar, put it in his pocket, and left.

Tanaka returned to the Obsidian Center, he still had some things to pack up, and he was still busy afterwards.

He walked into the dilapidated hall, and suddenly he felt as if something had been kicked away.Looking down, it was a food plate with a corner missing.

"Abu..."

That cute, furry little thing is never coming back.

By the time he noticed, he was already in tears.

The author has something to say: Tanaka is actually very easy to cry (by now everyone has seen him cry several times, right?)

Also, about some things that happened in Tanaka's original world:

Tanaka said before that he used to live abroad and didn't come back until recently.This was indeed the case in the original world, but when he first came to Japan, he had no place to live, so he stayed on the street, and happened to meet a little dog (that is, Abu) in a cardboard box.So he picked it up and raised it, but... the puppy died because of improper feeding.Well, that's probably it...
