[Tutor] Who's Story

After finishing his work at the fast food restaurant, Tanaka checked the time and rode his old bicycle to the next part-time job.

Tanaka worked several jobs, and after a few months, he had some savings. Every time he received his wages, he would carefully save the money and never spend it randomly.

"Oh, you are here, Tanaka!" The owner of the sushi restaurant is a very hearty uncle. He likes Tanaka very much, because this young man works hard and is never late. He is not like some lazy young people recently...

"There will be a few guests who have made reservations tonight, so you can also come to the kitchen to help." The boss said.

"Yes, I'll go after I change my clothes." Tanaka immediately agreed.

At the beginning, Tanaka only worked as a low-level handyman in the store, but after working for a while, the boss favored him for some reason, and asked him to help in the kitchen from time to time, and his salary also increased a little.Now he is in and out of the kitchen, and he has learned some methods of making sushi.To be honest, Tanaka thinks that he is still good at the work that just does not talk about it, for example, he is not so good at the counter of the fast food restaurant.

After the busy dinner time, the shop is finally closing.Tanaka said goodbye to the boss after finishing his final aftermath work, and prepared to go back to the Obsidian Center on his bicycle.

On the way, he meets unexpected people.

"Grandpa?" Tanaka stopped and talked to the old man standing at the intersection, "What are you doing here so late?"

"Hehe, I came out when I wanted to take a walk." The old man said with a smile.

The dog that had been squatting obediently at the old man's feet jumped up, walked to Tian Zhong's feet and barked twice.

"Abu..." Tanaka bent down and patted the dog's head, "Are you obedient?"

The dog barked twice more, as if in response to Tanaka's words.

"It's late, grandpa should go back to rest early, and I'm going back to bed too." Tanaka said to the old man.

"Well, that's true." The old man murmured, "Taro...would you like to come and stay with me for a few nights? It's hard to go back to your Hei Yao's residence so late, isn't it?"

"Actually, it's okay!" Tanaka scratched his head, "It's just like exercising."

"Let's stay for a few nights." Surprisingly, the old man who always respected Tanaka's wishes made another request, "Just treat it as being with grandpa, okay?"

Tanaka turned his attention from the wagging dog to the old man. He looked at the old man for a while and replied, "Okay."

Early the next morning, Tanaka started to pack his things, and he planned to go to his grandfather's place after his work in the morning.Before he was about to go out, he saw Fengtai standing outside his room.

Feng Tai seemed more silent than last time, his eyes were even lifeless.

"Fengta, what's wrong?" Tanaka asked.

"Mr. Mu asked you for something, he told you to come to the hall below." Feng Tai said.

"Oh, I see, wait for me for a while." Tanaka put the last item into his backpack, carried it on his back, and went downstairs with Fengta from the ladder that was not easy to be found.

The downstairs was still so dilapidated, Tanaka kicked a few pieces of gravel to the hall, and there was a person sitting on the dilapidated red sofa in the hall.

"Yo, here we come, Tanaka." Mukuro greeted first.

"Hello, Mr. Mu...do you have something to do with me?" Tanaka cut directly to the topic.

"Ah, I want to ask if you can do us a favor these few days." Mukuro held his chin and said to Tanaka interestingly, "This time it may be a commissioned work, of course we will pay some money, you are raising money Yes or no?"

"Ah, that's right." Tanaka was a little embarrassed, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time these few days. I promised my grandpa to accompany him, and I won't come back here these days. Besides, I still There is a part-time job, and the schedule can't come up..."

"Really, what a pity." Knowing that Tanaka was not free, Mukuro said goodbye to Tanaka briefly and let him go.

The next day, Tanaka spent very peacefully.When he returned to Tanaka's house at night, he said as soon as he entered the door: "I'm back~"

The first one to come up was the brown dog. He was having fun at the foot of the field, having a great time playing with himself.

"Hehe, I'm back." The old man walked out slowly, and he waved to Tanaka, "Come here, talk to me."

"Yeah." Tanaka walked over obediently.

The conversation between the two was uneventful. The old man asked about Tanaka's work and life, and Tanaka talked about what happened to him recently, and the time passed like this.

Tanaka yawned, and he felt a little sleepy.

"I'm sleepy, go and rest." The old man got up, "Go and wash first, I'll spread the quilt for you, ah."

"No need, I'll come by myself!" Tanaka said quickly.

"Hehe, how often do you come to spend the night, let grandpa help you!"

Seeing this, Tanaka didn't refuse anymore, and took a towel and toothbrush to wash up.

The next day, Tanaka still had work. He dressed neatly early in the morning, and was ready to go out after eating a simple breakfast.

"Will you come back earlier tonight?" the old man said slowly while drinking tea.

"Well, there's no evening shift today. I'll do some shopping on the way back...I'll prepare dinner." Tanaka said while tying his shoes.

"Hehe, okay." The old man smiled softly, "Be careful on the road, Taro."

Tanaka turned his head: "I'm leaving."

Tanaka finished work very early today, and he got off work after delivering the last takeaway.He went to the supermarket for a stroll, bought some things and started on his way back.

On the way, he met Cao Bi who was patrolling the street. Cao Bi said seriously to Tanaka that the law and order in Binsheng evening was not very good recently, and the students of Bisheng Middle School had been attacked for several days. Cao Bi warned Tanaka to be careful when going out at night.

Tanaka thanked Kusakabe, but he himself did not take it seriously.If someone came to ask for a fight, he would just call him back. Tanaka has the confidence to win when he fights with ordinary bad boys.

Back at Tanaka's house, the dog Abu greeted him.

"Don't make trouble, Abu, I'll play with you later." Tanaka knelt down and stroked Abu's hair before entering the room.

"Grandpa, I'm back! I bought tofu..." Tanaka walked into the living room and said to the old man.

The old man stood up slowly and smiled: "Ah, tofu... I like it very much. Let's eat it with soy sauce tonight."

After the dishes were cooked, Tanaka went inside to change his clothes, and when he came out again, the old man had packed the rice and set the dishes.Dinner for two is simple, with no meat.

Tanaka ate his rice silently, looking up at the old man opposite him from time to time, and finally he couldn't help it anymore.

"Grandpa, don't you want to eat any more?"

The old man ate very little today, and he only took a small bite of rice, not even his favorite tofu and natto mixed with soy sauce.He didn't seem to plan to eat anymore, he put down his chopsticks and watched Tanaka eat.

"Ah, no need." The old man picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "I don't have much appetite today."

"Really..." Tanaka is not used to coercing others. Since Grandpa said so, there must be a reason for him to do so. Besides, he is just passing by, so it is not easy to interfere.

After eating, Tanaka washed the dishes and went to the living room to watch TV with the old man. The news was broadcast on the TV.In fact, Tanaka doesn't care much about practical issues, and the news is quite new to him.

The half-hour news came to an end soon. The old man got up and walked slowly to his room: "I'm going to lie down for a while, if you want to watch TV, watch it for a while, but remember not to go to bed too late."

"Well, I see." Even though he said that, Tanaka himself didn't have any TV programs that he particularly wanted to watch. After changing the channel a few times, he turned off the TV and was about to take out a book from his bag to watch.

When Tian Zhong was walking, he heard the old man calling him, so he went to the old man's room: "Grandpa, what's the matter?"

"Sit here, sit down, and talk to me." The old man also sat up and said with a smile.

"How many jobs does Taro have, he seems to be very busy every day." asked the old man.

"Two, the waiter in the fast food restaurant and the handyman in the sushi restaurant... Ah, but at the sushi restaurant, the boss asked me to help in the kitchen recently, and I learned a lot." Tanaka said, "In this way If you keep doing it, you will definitely save a lot of money!"

The old man laughed a few more times: "Working hard is a good thing, but...you are only a teenager, why don't you continue to go to school?"

"But... I don't understand what is taught in high school, I can't go on to higher education, and the tuition fee is another expense, so I have to drop out." Tanaka bowed his head.

"...That's true, after all, you are different from the original Taro." The old man didn't mean to blame, he said kindly, "I'm trying to learn Mandarin now, isn't it hard to live abroad now? Come on... After all I still need to read some books, so that life and work will be easier in the future.”

"……sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize? I also want to thank you. This spring...Taro...When that child died in an accident...I thought I was going to become a person again. Fortunately, the adult showed up with you... That adult is a god, right? To me, you are also a little angel..." The old man recalled the past with a sad face.

"but I……"

"I know, you are just an ordinary person like me. You also received help from that adult, and you also have your own difficulties, so use the identity of Taro who just passed away. The two of us can be like this, both It's because of that lord."

"...Yes." Tanaka lowered his head, his bangs drooping to cover his eyes.

The old man exhaled, looked at the book in Tanaka's hand, and said, "Are you going to study? Sorry to disturb you, go."

Tanaka nodded, and walked out of the room after the old man lay down.He looked at the words in the book, but actually didn't read much.The old man's words just now reminded him of what happened half a year ago, and his mood was a little delicate.That man...that masked man...

In the end Tanaka decided to go to bed early, since he couldn't read anything right now anyway.So Tanaka played with the puppy Abu for a while, then took a shower and went to sleep.

Tanaka lay on the bed with his eyes closed, but he did not fall asleep for a long time.After an unknown amount of time, he got up and went to the bathroom. By the way, he looked at the clock, and the hour hand had already pointed to the number ten.

Tanaka suddenly remembered that when he was staying here, the old man would often get up at nine o'clock to go to the bathroom, but he did not get up today.Could it be that he was already asleep?Looking at the sliding door of the old man's room, Tanaka felt a sense of disobedience for some reason.

He opened the door a crack and called softly, "Grandpa?"

There was no response, did he really fall asleep?Tanaka walked into the room on tiptoe, and the old man was lying on the tatami quilt, the same as when he left.

Seeing that the old man's hand was exposed outside the quilt, Tanaka wanted to stuff the old man's hand into the quilt.Tanaka touched the old man's hand, which was very cold.

Tanaka was stunned for a moment, and he put his whole hand on the old man's hand.The coldness just now was not an illusion, the whole hand was at this temperature.Tanaka hurriedly touched the old man's neck again, but there was no movement there, it was as calm as stagnant water.

"Grandpa, Grandpa!" Tanaka called, shaking the old man.

The old man didn't respond, as if he was really asleep.Tanaka became anxious, and he put his fingers in front of the old man's nostrils again. The air was also calm, and there was no breeze to produce a breeze.

No, there must be a mistake there!The blood should be hot and the pulse should be beating!Tanaka went to feel the old man's aorta again, bent down to listen to the old man's heartbeat, and felt the old man's breath after a while.But no matter how many times, what I feel is cold and still.

Tanaka sat still for 30 seconds, then he jumped up suddenly, picked up his wallet and rushed out.He remembered a phone booth at the intersection...

But Tanaka didn't expect that as soon as he went out, he bumped into a person passing by his door.

Perhaps it was because Tanaka charged too hard, and his impact caused two people to fall to the ground at the same time.

"It hurts—what the hell are you doing!" the other party roared.

"I'm sorry!" Tanaka got up quickly, and then grabbed the passer-by, "Do you have a mobile phone? My grandpa—my grandpa—please call an ambulance for me!"

"I see, you calm down first! You have to let go, it hurts!"

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Tanaka apologized again.

"By the way... what's wrong with your grandfather? Heart attack? What are the symptoms? Have you tried first aid?"

"I, I don't know what to do..." Tanaka was so anxious that he was about to cry, "He's not breathing or has a pulse! He can't hear his heartbeat... I tried several times!"

He was stunned when he was hit by someone when he went out to buy rice balls at night and returned home. He was speechless for a few seconds, and then patted the anxious round-faced boy in front of him: "If this is the case, you shouldn't be so anxious to call An ambulance... no, there's no need to call an ambulance at all."

"Need not?"

"Your grandfather, he is dead at all."

The author has something to say: The reason Mui-kun cares about Tanaka is that one day he sneaked into someone else’s room and discovered Tanaka’s little secret... (As for what is the secret? Oh, you will know later! Probably a long time later? But according to It seems that this is not a particularly important place for the later development of the plot!)

Muku originally wanted to invite Tanaka to stay and help him guard the house + fight against A Gang and others, but unfortunately Tanaka was summoned away by his grandfather ~ so Tanaka has no chance with the Obsidian Chapter ~

Also, Grandpa Tanaka just... um, exited.
