Chapter 17
"Are you planning to leave now?"
The potential crisis in Yokohama was finally resolved. Angelica successfully completed the ribbon-cutting process of the orphanage and came to the final moment of separation.
The dean held Angelica's hands as tightly as she did when they first met. The old and rough touch made her quite emotional - it really felt like a lifetime ago.
"After all, it's getting late. As you know, I still have children to take care of."
"Ah, yes, yes. That's it." The dean loosened her hands a little after hearing this, but the expression on her face was still quite serious. Reluctantly, "It's great that you can be here! I can't thank you enough!"
There seemed to be inexplicable sadness in her eyes hidden behind the lenses: maybe it was because of parting, or maybe it was because of this welfare institution. To be rooted in such a chaotic place.
"In this way, I can feel relieved for the time being..."
The dean sighed. When he looked at Angelica, what he saw was not a mascot, but a temporary amulet.
In a place like Yokohama, there is no shortage of children in orphanages.
But if you want to take those children to grow up healthily, get out of the quagmire, and find your own bright place... it's really harder than reaching the sky.
Many orphanages in the past had no choice but to close down in Yokohama, and the displaced children could only become nutrients for those gangs.
Sigh... I hope I can last longer this time.
"I will regularly send information about the operating status of the orphanage to your email."
"Please support
me." "I can't be more at ease leaving it to you." Angelica felt that the dean seemed to have made a mistake about the orphanage. "After all, you are the most experienced manager we have selected."
"However, if you want to plan the future of the orphanage, I'm afraid you shouldn't discuss it with me."
"You haven't yet Do you know?" The dean smiled kindly and patted the back of Angelica's hand gently, "This welfare home is a charity under your name.
" ? ?
Angelica's smile froze slightly, her eyes blinked, and her long eyelashes trembled: "So that's it."
It's really, really...
what an amazing and amazing arrangement!
Did Emily make the decision on her own? No, she's not like that.
So who? It can't be Mr. Joseph Joestar who is too busy, right?
Angelica tried not to show too much surprise, but when she turned to leave, she couldn't help but raise her hand to rest on the car door: No matter who it was... there was no harm in it. He must have found a "pastime" for her because he saw her having nothing to do.
"Ah——?"
"Are you going back now?"
I haven't had enough fun yet! Far from enough!
When Angelica drove to the meeting place agreed upon with Gojo Satoru, Gojo Satoru, who was unwilling to take care of the children at first, had already changed into a completely different face.
Gojo Satoru squatted on the ground and patted Nakahara Chuuya's back, and helped him arrange his clothes without leaving any trace, so as not to let Angelica notice anything was wrong.
"It's already three o'clock now."
Angelica raised her wrist to show him her watch, and at the same time turned sideways and smiled at Nakahara Chuya.
"Zhongya, what do you think?"
"...Um...burp...!"
Zhongyuan Zhongya was about to speak, but just after he said a word, an uncontrollable feeling of fullness suddenly appeared, making him suddenly Hiccups.
! ! !
The orange-haired boy immediately covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes sparkling with innocence and shame.
"Jie——!"
"You guy——!"
Gojo Satoru immediately stood up and took half a step back, then skillfully dumped the blame: "I told you - he is still a child - he can't eat too much. Something-!"
"Look--he's hiccuping--he must be full!" "
Oh...that's right.
Angelica knew just by looking at the two teenagers playing around but neither one of them dared to look her in the eye: everyone has a share in feeding the cursed spirit to Nakayuan Chuya!
She waved to Nakahara Chuuya, and when he slowly walked over to her with his mouth covered, she raised her head and cast a disapproving look at Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie.
"Alas...you don't understand this kind of happiness!"
Seeing that there was no way to get through, Gojo Satoru could only find another way and tried to quibble: "Have you ever seen a Venus flytrap?"
"This child is like a human-shaped Venus flytrap! "
In other words, catching cursed spirits from humans!"
"Just hold him above your head, and then happily, ahem, no, quickly run around the place where the cursed spirits appear, and you can see the cursed spirits being caught by him one after another. Suck it into your body! "
That kind of picture - super invincible stress relief!
At first, it was just Gojo Satoru running happily alone, but later Xia Youjie also decided to join.
While Angelica was smiling so hard in front of the media cameras, two teenagers were running carefreely from one end of Yokohama to the other end of Yokohama holding a "human flytrap" under the bright sunshine, giving every gray They all generously left behind their extraordinarily loud laughter.
Maybe after today, a strange story will appear in Yokohama.
The content of the ghost story is the terrifying black flash that laughs under the sun!
Forget it.
Angelica looked at the sparkling eyes of the two teenagers and thought to herself: At this age, they have to silently shoulder important responsibilities. Such relaxation and joy must be extremely rare for them, right?
"Then, if there is nothing else important, I will take Chuuya home first."
The alley filled with sunlight was shining with golden light, and Angelica's blond hair blended into it, seeming to have become part of the light. .
She took the initiative to hold Nakahara Chuuya's thin little hand, and nodded goodbye to the two teenagers: "Thanks to your help."
Yokohama was able to spend a peaceful day.
"Let's meet again if we are destined."
"Ah——" Seeing Angelica's expression improve, Gojo Satoru immediately started to pretend with a smile, "What is fate——?"
"I tell you——"
"Sorry, Miss Angelica." Before Gojo Satoru had finished, Xia Youjie had already explained the situation clearly, "We may still bother you in the near future.
" If you systematically learn how to control the power of curses, you will continue to attract curse spirits... and may even attract curse masters. "
Such a life is definitely not what this lady wants.
Xia Youjie looked at Angelica's slightly frowning expression and felt that through her face, he could see a long-lost tranquility and serenity.
Angelica, this mysterious lady, is more suitable for a quiet life.
"Is this so..." Angelica could only sigh, "Seriously... I won't refuse your kindness..."
It seems that she has to carefully arrange her daily schedule after going back.
"The power of the spell..." Nakahara Chuya blinked and looked up at Angelica, letting her figure fall fully into his eyes, "I want it too."
It's the same as "mother".
"What a fool——!"
"Curse power is not a good thing!"
"Besides... you haven't eaten enough from this bottomless pit...!"
Gojo Satoru was still a little reluctant to part with this wonderful and easy-to-use curse spirit clearing machine. , couldn't help but reached out and poked his face, "But - you don't know -!"
He said this to Angelica:
"This guy looks stupid, but he has a strong learning ability. Horrible."
During the hour or so that Angelica was cutting the ribbon, Gojo Satoru and Xia Youjie were running wildly while also interspersed with a little bit of common sense education.
The young Nakahara Nakaya is not only able to do two things: he is able to absorb the curse spirit while accurately repeating every word.
This high-efficiency absorption speed in a dual sense once again encouraged Gojo Satoru and Natsuyoujie to run wildly through the streets.
"Be careful when you go back to teach!"
No... I think the person who should be careful... is you, right?
Xia Youjie smiled and resisted Angelica's gaze, and forcefully pulled Gojo Satoru's arm back: If this child didn't seem to be born with a wonderful "selection mechanism", I'm afraid he wouldn't be well-behaved and sensible now, but would be full of mouth. My problem is young!
"It turns out that Chuuya is so powerful!"
Angelica's voice was gentle and clear. When it was heard in Nakahara Chuuya's ears, it only made his little heart beat fast: It was such a strange feeling... But according to those two As people say...this is...happy? Is this happiness?
I like this feeling.
Nakahara Chuuya's eyes also became bright.
Regardless of whether the child with the secret was a real human being, Angelica still took him with her temporarily under the entrustment of the young magicians.
After all... he looks, behaves, and even has body temperature... he looks like a human being.
"Mommy————!!!"
When Angelica returned to Miwa Town, Xu Lun Kujo, who was attending elementary school on her first day, had already finished school.
Hearing the sound of the car's engine, the little girl flew out lightly like a butterfly.
"I'm back, Xu Lun."
"Welcome home - Mommy -" Kutiao Xu Lun excitedly ran around the car, and soon saw the strange little guest through the car window, "Huh?" " Is this it?"
Angelica had already prepared the plan on the way back, so it was easy to explain to Kujo Xu Lun:
"I will live in our home, Zhongyuan Zhongya, for the time being."
"As for my identity... Angelica looked up at the other child standing silently by the gate at the back of the courtyard, "It's almost as complicated as Xiao Ai."
Ah...!
Kujo Xu Lun opened his mouth, and his original desire to get to the bottom of the matter disappeared instantly.
Last night, after Hui Yuan Ai woke up, the long speech was a complete nightmare for a six-year-old child.
"I'm back, Xiao Ai."
Angelica parked the car and led Zhongyuan Zhongya into the door. At this time, the silent girl with short hair had already sat on the sofa in the large living room - in a rather reserved posture.
She sat upright, her legs tightly together, and her hands neatly placed on her knees. If you look closely, you can see that her fisted hands are actually trembling slightly.
"Xiao Ai?"
Kutiao Xu Lun came over and gently put his palm on the back of the other person's cold hand: "What's wrong with you?"
"Are you feeling unwell again?"
"No! No!" Haiyuan Ai He shivered nervously and almost waved Xu Lun's hand away out of excitement, "I...I'm fine."
"I'm just a little tired."
