Then he saw someone looking at him.

"Ah." Gao Songdeng hurriedly stuffed the stone into his school uniform pocket and ran away from the bushes.

Lost Children Gathering: Chapter 7: Takamatsu Tomo

"Classmates, although it's Golden Week, we have a new student joining our class today."

In the first class of the morning, the teacher announced the arrival of a transfer student to the students in Class A of the first grade of Yugaoka.

Chihaya Aine picked up a piece of chalk and wrote her name on the blackboard in front of the classroom.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chihaya Aine. Due to personal reasons, I have to enter Hanedaoka to complete my studies at this time. Please don't mind. I hope we can get along well in the future."

Chihaya Aine announced with full energy that she had joined this class.

The natural and appropriate self-introduction caused the class to burst into applause.

"Chihaya, please sit in the last seat." The teacher kindly pointed to the empty seat in the last row for Chihaya Aine.

Chihaya Aine walked quickly to her seat. Along the way, the girls in her new class greeted her.

“““Please advise me.”””

"Thank you for your guidance." Chihaya Aine, carrying her handbag, greeted the new classmates with a smile.

When she reached the second-to-last row, Chihaya Aine saw that the strange girl, Takamatsu Deng, was still fiddling with the many pebbles she had placed on her desk, and seemed not to have listened to her self-introduction.

Her short gray hair was neatly styled, and her light red eyes were staring intently at the stone.

"Ah, Stone..." Chihaya Aine had a pretty good impression of this girl who was new to the underworld.

After hearing the word "stone", Takamatsu Deng finally stopped fiddling with the stone and looked at Chihaya Aine.

"Hahaha, please give me your advice." Chihaya Aine laughed dryly and greeted Takamatsu Deng again.

Seeing that this girl with long pink hair came specially to greet him, Takamatsu Deng couldn't help but turn his head and look at her, following Aine's steps.

Chihaya Aine came to the last row of seats, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"It's an unobjectionable self-introduction, but this is all I need to do to integrate into the class."

Chihaya Aine wondered if there was anything inappropriate in her self-introduction.

At this moment, Aine saw the gray-haired girl in the front seat. Takamatsu Touma turned around and whispered to her:

"Chihaya-san, my name is Takamatsu Touma." I heard her name again.

“Please give me your guidance.” The short-haired girl said to Aine.

Then, Chihaya Aine's first class meeting in this class began.

At the class meeting, Gao Songdeng didn't listen at all. She just looked at the stones she picked up and fell into thought.

This stone looks like an angry octopus.

This stone looks like a strange mask.

This stone looks like a small...

A severe pain attacked Gao Songdeng's mind.

It was as if someone was stirring Gao Songdeng's brain with a red-hot iron rod.

Gao Songdeng felt very strange. Recently, whenever she thought about Xiaoxiang, her head would hurt terribly.

Fortunately, Gao Songdeng thought of Xiaoxiang many times every day, and she gradually got used to this pain.

But if you suddenly faint during class, that would not be good.

So Gao Songdeng had to think about the past, about the time when Gao Songdeng still had a home.

"I want to become a human being." Takamatsu Deng once wrote these words in her own notebook.

However, Gao Songdeng has forgotten what his mood was at that time.

Gao Songdeng has been different from others since he was young, and even his kindergarten teachers know this.

The little Gao Songdeng was staring blankly at his own reflection in the glass window.

"Xiao Deng, don't you want to come out and play with us?" the young kindergarten teacher asked the lonely child.

Everyone... come out and play together. Xiao Deng listened to the teacher's words.

So Gao Songdeng took out the stone hidden in his pocket and placed it on the windowsill.

Little Takamatsu Deng is happy just playing with his stone friends.

Seeing Gao Songdeng like this, the kindergarten teacher couldn't help but lower her head and sigh.

Then she turned around and said to the people outside the room—perhaps other children:

"Little Light wants to play in the room."

In autumn, the ground under the big tree was covered with dim yellow fallen leaves.

"The leaves are so beautiful." said the girl next to me.

Gao Songdeng thought so too, so she picked up a fallen leaf.

"Do you like leaves too?" the girl continued.

"Huh!" Gao Songdeng was startled, put down the leaves and turned to look at the girl.

Turning around, I saw a little girl with twin ponytails, the same age as Takamatsu Deng.

She picked up a leaf and gave the little lamp a lovely smile. "Mio likes it too!"

Gao Songdeng felt that she must have laughed too, after all, it was the first time she had a companion other than stones and leaves.

Want to be human.

The small Takamatsu lantern makes a big wish.

Mom told Gao Songdeng that if he wanted to make friends with others, he should share good things with them.

Gao Songdeng likes watermelon worms.

If you poke it with your finger, the watermelon worm will curl up to protect itself.

Moreover, watermelon worms like to hide under stones.

Gao Songdeng felt that he might be very similar to the watermelon worm.

So Xiao Deng gave Mio a handful of watermelon worms.

"Xiao Deng, I know you like watermelon worms very much, but even Mom might not be able to accept you giving me so many worms."

Gao Songdeng saw his mother talking on the phone with a frown on her face.

My mother is always gentle. If I die, it’s my own fault. I haven’t become a human being yet.

"Mio said she is willing to play with you again in the future." Mom comforted Takamatsu Deng.

Later, Gao Songdeng went to elementary school, although she was always alone at school.

There was no one in the new school who kept company with Takamatsu Deng.

In Neo-Tokyo, there weren't many people his age who were willing to hang out with a kid who spent all day playing with rocks and bugs.

Sometimes, Takamatsu Deng would find dead insects on his desk, in his locker, and in the lunch boxes he brought to school.

It would be great if everyone could give me live bugs, Gao Songdeng thought.

Doesn't everyone like bugs?

Fortunately, at home, mom and dad are very gentle and always willing to talk to Gao Songdeng.

However, this also changed when Takamatsu Deng was in junior high school.

At school, Gao Songdeng broke the nose of a girl who always threatened her with dead bugs with a stone.

I lost a lot of money.

My mother started working the night shift and always looked haggard.

My father often stays out all night. When he comes back the next day, sometimes he brings a lot of money, and sometimes he is just full of complaints and anger.

However, there is one stable aspect, which is that my father always smells of alcohol.

Dad and Mom started arguing every day.

Later one day, Takamatsu Deng found many used syringes in his parents' room.

Later, when Gao Songdeng was at home, he basically stayed in his room and never came out.

On the day when Gao Songdeng heard his parents arguing the most, he heard the following words.

"Give me a little more money, just a little. I'm sure I can win it back with interest next time."

"Shit! Where can I get you the money? Our house is already mortgaged. If you need money so badly, why don't you ask those two old guys in your family for it?"

Mom and Dad, it’s getting scary...

"What are you yelling about, bitch? You know my poor parents have already blocked me, and you want me to ask them for money?

"Don't think I don't know that every time I give you a little money, you either play pachinko or go to the bar, and you spend the most on the things in the house.

"I'm asked to buy groceries and cook for the family, but every time I ask you to do it, you end up making a pot of garbage."

They...are arguing again.

And it seems to be because of money again.

scared.

It’s very quiet at home.

After that day, Takamatsu Deng didn't see his parents for several days.

until……

Bang bang.

Footsteps, is that mom and dad coming back?

"Light! I know you're in the room, get out right now!"

It's Dad's voice.

!

"You're such a money-loser! You're not sleeping at night and you're leaving the lights on. You're going to blow up all the electricity bills at home."

And my mother's voice.

……

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm in a hurry. Bring the person out to me quickly."

There are also unfamiliar voices.

who is it?

I don't want to go out, but...

"Oh, you didn't lie to me, you are really a beauty." Wu Gaosongdeng heard the man in the windbreaker who was wearing sunglasses late at night say this.

"Tsk tsk, it seems like you two weren't without merit when you were born alive."

Eh?

"Boss, my daughter is so pretty, how much is she worth?"

dad?

"Boss, we've been supporting this money-loser for fifteen years, and we've never been short of food and drink. We'll have to pawn her for at least a million dollars, right?"

Mother?

"One million! You two are blackmailing me alive?

"Do you have the final say on how much to pay? Huh?

"With you two old bastards, who knows what problems this girl has. The company can't take the risk in vain.
