After all of them are reborn, who would still want to marry 2.5 Jo Satoru?

Winter in Leibo Street is as difficult as summer.

Supplies are extremely scarce here in winter. Many people freeze to death due to lack of clothes, and starve to death due to lack of food. Broken and mutilated corpses can be seen everywhere under dilapidated houses and on the ground where sewage is flowing.

And summer isn't much better.

Summer is the peak season for various infectious diseases. Influenza, pneumonia, and malaria can all cause a small plague here. The lack of medicine and the harsh environment can easily cause dozens or hundreds of deaths.

It is difficult for adults to survive healthily, let alone young children.

If the lambs had not drawn a good card in Nakahara Chuuya, one-third of them would have died of disease in the summer and one-third would have died of cold and hunger in the winter.

As for the last third, the human traffickers and smuggling ships in Yokohama are no pushovers.

Since the rise of the black triangle trade, human trafficking has been rampant in poor areas. Yokohama's developed smuggling industry is simply a paradise for various black industries.

Sellers and buyers are all available, and the fish are killed and picked upon ordering. It couldn't be more convenient.

The young Akutagawa Gin wrapped his face tightly under the hood, hid his whole body in the shadows, and moved forward cautiously, fearing that he would be discovered by others.

She couldn't be considered pretty because she was too thin. Most of the children on Leibo Street looked like skeletons covered with human skin. In this situation, distinguishing between beauty and ugliness was too abstract.

But there will always be people who can find similarities between her and her brother through this outer layer.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa has a bad reputation in the slums.

Whether it's the neighbors who live in the abandoned cardboard boxes, the homeless people who pick up rubbish, or the hunters who come to catch people, they are all afraid of his special abilities and his reckless personality of biting whoever he catches.

"Mad dog."

"Heartless dog."

That's what they called him.

But Akutagawa Gin knew that her brother was not like that.

If you don't take such a tough stance and don't stab others with your blade, you won't be able to survive in a place like the slums.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa used such a crazy act to save his and her life.

Even if he ran out alone for revenge and came back covered in blood; even if he didn't even think about her life or death when he left.

He went for revenge regardless of everything, but also tried his best to get back to her.

Akutagawa Gin thought, even so, I can't help but love him.

That's why I should love him even more.

Love this impulsive, selfish brother who never listens to advice.

Loving this brother who is suffering from pain, illness, hunger and is dying.

Akutagawa Gin deftly brushed past a drunk man. Her breath was almost non-existent, giving her a considerable advantage as a pickpocket.

She needs money.

Food can be found in garbage dumps. As long as it is not rotten, expired food will not kill people.

But medicine is different. Taking expired medicine will make the disease more serious and may even cause death.

So you have to buy medicine from a middleman.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa's wound needs medicine to stop the bleeding. His cough is getting more and more severe, and he may even cough up blood. He may need to go to the hospital for treatment.

These all require money.

When Ryunosuke Akutagawa was not seriously injured, he would not let her do such a thing. He would rather let her scavenge and pick up only a very small amount of edible food than let her be a pickpocket.

Because pickpockets will eventually be caught.

The drunk grabbed her hand.

Narita was originally a wanted criminal from out of town. These days, public security is bad everywhere, and the area around Osaka is a paradise for criminals.

When they were wanted and could no longer continue their business in Osaka, they would simply smuggle themselves into Yokohama.

Anyway, the concessions were not subject to the law, and the police never cared how many thugs and criminals there were in the slums.

The drunk Narita was not doing well here. Yokohama's status in the criminal world of the island country was second only to Beika Town. As a drug dealer, he could not make a living and could only do some retail business in the bar.

"You...you are the sister of that mad dog..." He forced a smile on his fleshy face, "You caught a big fish..."

"That mad dog was previously surrounded by five or six people. It must be close to death now."

"Take me to him, quick! People with special abilities are very valuable. If I sell him off, I'll have enough money to buy new stuff. Those bastards in the Takase Clan have monopolized all the good stuff, and everything is so expensive!"

"If I sell that mad dog, I'll be rich."

Akutagawa Gin said nothing. She had a rusty knife hidden in her sleeve. The distance was not enough to kill the other person directly, so she chose to endure.

Narita slapped Akutagawa Gin in the face. The slap was so heavy and fierce that a fishy and hot liquid choked into his mouth from his nasal cavity.

"Hurry up and talk, don't waste my time."

"I think you're not bad looking. Don't worry, I'll sell you two together. Maybe you can even die together later!"

"Say it quickly!"

Another slap, and Akutagawa Gin fell to the side, but Narita still held one of her hands tightly.

At that moment, the knife in her sleeve slipped out, and she grabbed the handle and stabbed hard.

Akutagawa Gin is too short, so tattooing his eyes and neck is not enough, but if he tattoos between his legs, the position is just right.

"what--"

Narita covered her crotch and screamed like a pig being slaughtered. She took this opportunity to quickly get up and ran to a place where there was an obstacle nearby.

But she soon stopped.

Because Narita didn't go drinking alone.

Two or three more grown men came out from the side. The one in the lead laughed at them without hesitation, "Hahahaha, Cheng Tian, ​​you're so useless. You were castrated by a little girl..."

"This little girl is quite courageous. It will definitely be a spectacle if she is sold to the Colosseum."

"I heard she has a brother? Selling the two of them together would be exciting!"

Three people surrounded him, and Yin stepped back step by step. Behind him, Narita struggled to stand up and reached for the gun in his pocket.

"I'm going to kill this stinky girl. No one else will..."

"boom--"

Silver turned his head, his eyes wide.

Not far away, a girl wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, cropped pants, and a baseball cap, wrapped herself tightly, stood there with a gun in her hand.

She fired quickly, seemingly without aiming at all. Three more shots rang out, and the bodies of several adults fell heavily to the ground.

The dazzling sunlight shone on her long silver hair, like newly fallen snow in winter.

That’s the purest thing about the ghetto.

This is a man who doesn’t belong in the ghetto at all.

As if suffocated by the pain, fear, and despair day after day, Akutagawa Gin's tears suddenly fell.

She stumbled over, trying her best to hold back her tears, and pleaded incoherently like a cornered animal.

"Please... My brother is dying... Please save him... I can do anything for you..."

Liuli didn't say anything.

Tears washed away the dust on her face, revealing her pale face, her big bright brown eyes filled with tears.

"I... I can do a lot of things... My brother can do it too. He's a person with special abilities. Please... save him..."

Liuli looked at her, as if examining the truthfulness of her words.

"You mean, as long as I save your brother, you two will belong to me?"

Akutagawa Gin wiped the tears and blood from his face and nodded repeatedly.

"That's right...we are all yours!"

No matter what, it's better than dying here.

Anywhere is better than here.

If Akutagawa Ryunosuke died, all that would have been waiting for her was to start her business earlier and then die in some corner.

Anyway, it can't get any worse.

"I hope your brother is still alive when I leave." Liuli reached out and picked her up. Akutagawa Gin was incredibly light, like a hollow puppet.

"Now, my possessions, show me the way, let's go find your brother!"
