Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 102 Nothing to Ask for

“When I grow up, I want to be invincible.”

This was the ideal declaration made by Gen Satake when he was seven years old.

Sister Yuanshan had no objection to this, because the dreams of other children were even more childish: 'I want to be a Gundam pilot', 'I want to be Ultraman', 'I want to develop a potion that will prevent beautiful girls from having to poop', 'I want to be Sister Yuanshan's groom'...they were all unrealistic fantasies.

Toyama Qin patiently explained to them: "Gundam doesn't exist, but the pilots are just as handsome as Gundam pilots", "Ultraman is a special effects drama, and the directors who shoot special effects dramas are even more powerful", "The strange H book in your room has been confiscated", "When you grow up, I will already be an old lady"...

Finally, she said with a smile and a gentle tone: "We are all unpolished gems, and we will definitely become talents useful to society in the future."

This is how she has always educated her children. The welfare home exists because of the love of society. She hopes that when everyone grows up, they will help others within their ability, spread love, and give back to society...

"Never."

Gen Satake thinks everyone is ridiculous. How can a myopic person be a pilot? How can a colorblind person be a director? A guy who reads pornographic books every day wants to be a scientist? By the time he grows up, Sister Toyama will be in menopause, okay!

Once you ask for something, you will have weaknesses.

Sister Yuanshan is the same. She is longing for intangible things and realizing her own life value by taking care of children.

He expressed his thoughts in public and also revealed the hiding place of another pornographic book, which caused everyone to look at him in anger. That night, he was covered with a quilt and beaten by the children, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face.

He cried and complained to Sister Toyama, who criticized all the children. From then on everyone started to isolate Gen Satake.

"That guy is just a weirdo. He always likes to poke holes in other people."

Not only the children think so, but also the adults. The caregivers in the welfare home don't like Gen Satake because he will point out their unhappy marriages, mortgage pressures, early child loss and other pains.

Satake Gen had no other reason than to see through everything and wanted to speak it out. He was already very shameless at the age of seven or eight.

In his early years, he often imagined that his life was a TV series, where everyone was an actor and there were hidden cameras in places he couldn't see. When the sun set, he would stand alone in the yard kicking stones, and the audience sitting in front of the TV would hear the narration: "Satoshi Gen was born lonely. This talent is both a gift from God and a curse from the devil."

Satake Gen thought it didn't matter. When the day came when he didn't need to ask anyone for help, he would be invincible. No one could threaten him with his weakness, and no one could make him do something he didn't want to do.

Exchanging loneliness for freedom is a good deal for him.

"Ah Xuan, you are very talented. Maybe you can be a good policeman in the future and find the weaknesses of bad guys at a glance."

After Yuanshan Qin comforted her, she taught her earnestly: "You must be a useful person to society in order to have a place in this society."

Gen Satake scoffed at the second sentence, but took the first one in. After he became an adult, he took the civil service exam and was successfully admitted to the police academy.

On the day of graduation, the mobile team came to recruit, and the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department also came to inspect. The instructor called him into the office and asked him how many students he saw on the way here. Without hesitation, Gen Satake said four, one greedy, one lustful, one strong, and one idiot. The instructor was very satisfied and asked him if he wanted to be an undercover agent. Of course Gen Satake said no, even if the superior appealed to his emotions and reason, and promised that he could at least be promoted to police captain after his undercover career, he did not waver at all, and he said he didn't want to.

As long as he has no weaknesses, no one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

The tougher he is, the more the Metropolitan Police Department's top brass value him. People who are not moved by external things are more precious than pandas.

Keito Kaga came to persuade him personally: "The economy is getting worse and worse, and that welfare facility is about to close. Satake-kun doesn't want his brothers and sisters to live on the streets, right? And Toyama, the childcare worker, if he loses his job at this age, he might go bankrupt, and his insurance, pension, and medical insurance will all be cut off..."

Satake Gen was silent.

He thought this was the last time, the last time he would ask for help from others. After he finished this job and repaid the orphanage, he would owe nothing, and his only weakness would be cut off.

After being expelled from the police academy, Gen Satake joined the Inagawa-kai. He wore a flashy suit, had the word "loyalty" tattooed on his body, and was responsible for collecting loan sharks.

He was smart and soon rose to middle level in the branch, where he was responsible for helping with accounting and lending.

On an ordinary afternoon, when he was doing accounting at the company, a customer came to apply for a loan. He led the customer in, and he greeted him casually as usual. When he looked up, he saw that it was an acquaintance - the classmate who loved to hide pornographic books, who had found true love and planned to marry the other party. He wanted to take out a loan to pay the down payment and prepare for the wedding.

Satake Gen called him an idiot. He had told him since childhood that reading pornographic books every day would lead to nothing? Now he wanted to give up his future for a woman and create a weakness for himself. He was so stupid!

He didn't give anyone a penny and kicked them out.

After a while, another acquaintance came. He heard that Gen Satake was in charge of lending money at the Inagawa Club, so he came to ask for help. He claimed that he was making a movie that would be a big hit once it was released, but the investor withdrew his investment midway, so he wanted to borrow money to hold on until the movie was finished.

Gen Satake watched the half-finished film he had shot. On the black and white screen, a few people in suits were fighting each other, and the plot was a piece of shit. So he repeated what he had said when he was a child and kicked the guy out again.

Then three or four more people came to him, wanting to borrow high-interest loans from him. After leaving the welfare home, everyone was unhappy. They were originally a group of orphans with no connections or background, and the Japanese economy was collapsing. They couldn't compete with illegal immigrants to become workers. They didn't want wages, just food. If they could find a partner, they would be considered successful.

Satake Gen became more and more determined in his belief that only those who ask for nothing can survive in a society where the strong prey on the weak.

Until one day, Yuanshan Qin came to him and said that she wanted to ask him for something.

She is really old, her once beautiful face is now full of wrinkles, and her long black hair has turned white. It is said that she has been working in an orphanage, and has never been in a relationship or married.

"Yuta is dead... beaten to death by debt collectors... Guang is missing, that woman is a marriage fraud... And Fengren and Yousuke... they are also..."

Yuan Shanqin sat in front of him, covering her face and crying: "The welfare home has been harassed by the Yakuza. They want to take the land at a low price... I tried, calling the police is useless... Please... Ah Xuan, this is the first time in so many years that I beg you... Ask them to stop and stop lending money to the children."

Gen Satake spent 27 years trying to forge himself into an invulnerable rock. But that night, in front of the frail old woman, he realized that he had many flaws.
