"Oh, the president is back, welcome back."

A short boy with silver messy hair who looked very much like a girl heard Toudou Touka's voice and greeted her in an unusually cheerful tone, but his eyes were fixed on the TV screen in front of him. What is reflected is a certain recently popular stand-alone game.

"Ugh...what happened..."

Totou Dao's face turned red because of this too ambiguous action. She put her hand on Nan Xiangyun's chest and raised her body up. When she saw the appearance of the student union clearly, she couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Wait?! What is this! Why did the student union become like this after I left it for such a short time?"

In this not-so-spacious room, there are all kinds of things that have nothing to do with student affairs, such as comic books and game consoles. People can't help but wonder where this place is, even the school. The documents specially sent by the authorities were also messed up all over the floor. It's no wonder that Todo Touka screamed like this.

In the huge student union, only the secretary of the student union, Broken Thunder City, was working conscientiously. The rest were either reading comics or playing games.

"Really, Yuba-san, how many times do you want me to say this? Don't leave things lying around, and Usagi-san, the dumbbells should be put away properly after use. What should I do if they hit someone? Can you tell Suicheng-san Study more and help correct documents when you have free time. Don't always hide there and play video games alone when you have time."

After Touka Todou calmed down, she put aside the shameful and angry emotions she had just felt, and turned around to start her mother-in-law mode towards the two people who were fishing in troubled waters in the student union.

"Well, President, why are you just talking about the two of us? Is it possible? In fact, these scenes are not just caused by the two of us."

"Come on, Usagi-san is the only one who can use dumbbells in the student union, and you are the only one who has the habit of leaving things carelessly."

"There's nothing I can do about it. I suddenly want to read all those old books again recently. You see, it's inconvenient to take out the thick piles of books one by one. Why don't you just pile them all together and read them all before putting them back? , and while you were away, Suilei-san and Usagi-maru-san did their jobs well."

"So what about your job?! Why don't you just talk about your job?! Are you pushing the job to Suilei again?"

While Nan Xiangyun was watching them arguing, a cup of black tea was suddenly placed in front of him.

"You seem to be very familiar with this side of Daohua."

"Because I was talked about like this by her back then."

When I first met Todou Touka, Nango Yun was scolded by Todou Touka for a lot of time because he often played with his mobile phone in the middle of the night and was listless during exercise the next day.

But every time after scolding the other person, she would quickly ask him to stop and rest. Later, with her help, these bad habits were slowly changed.

"I've known Daohua for so many years, and it's rare to see her being as noisy as she was in the lounge today."

"Maybe she has this kind of personality to begin with."

-------------------------------------

"Um, um, I am Tōdō Touka, who just became my apprentice today. Please give me your advice."

This was what Nan Xiang Yun said when she first met Todo Touka. At that time, she still looked timid, and she seemed to have lost the childishness unique to her age early.

During the time when she was studying under Nango Torajiro, she was either exercising or writing letters every day.

Once, Nanxiang Yun asked about the contents of the other party's letter out of curiosity.

"I'm telling Lihua and the others not to run around and cause trouble to the dean, and to eat less sugar and other things as it can cause tooth decay."

When talking about the children in the orphanage, the young Dongdang Daohua plucked his little fingers that had not yet fully grown and thought carefully about what else he had missed.

"Oh, yes, there are Erika, Rina, and Shoko. They need to be reminded that their mother's birthday is next week, and the gifts they agreed on last time must be prepared in advance."

She immediately picked up the pen and added all these contents.

"What about you? Don't you want to go back and see your mother for her birthday?"

"No, if I run back now, my mother will be angry."

Dongdang Daohua seemed a little moved. She hadn't seen the director of the orphanage for almost a year, and she didn't know how her health was lately. However, remembering the other person's instructions before she left, she finally gave up going back to visit. Intend.

In the training that followed, Todo Touka seemed to be getting more and more tired.

"Dao Hua, your knife has become slower recently."

"I'm so sorry! I'll correct it right away!"

"Have you not rested recently? Are the dark circles under your eyes so serious?"

"I had some insomnia yesterday. It's okay. Please continue."

The rigorous swordsmanship training continued, but the fatigue in Todo Touka's eyes could no longer be concealed.

Finally one day, her body couldn't bear it anymore and she collapsed.

"Ugh...what am I...? What's wrong...?"

"It's been almost a day since you fainted in the old man's swordsmanship class. The doctor said it was because you lacked sleep recently. You just need to recuperate for a while."

The dazzling sunlight shines in from outside the window. Inside the hospital, Nanxiang Yun uses the skills he just learned today to cut the apples into pieces of the same size and arrange them neatly on the plate.

"The old man also said that he would give you a few days off and let you stay in the hospital for a good rest these two days."

"Eh? No, thank you for your kindness, master, but I can still hold on..."

Todo Touka wanted to sit up from the hospital bed, but her whole body was sending her a message of fatigue.

Muscles are sore and limbs are weak.

It seemed like it was overdone.

However, there should still be some time.

"Yun, could you please help me bring over the half-finished doll, the needle and thread that are placed on the bedside?"

She placed one hand on the bed, leaned sideways, and begged Nan Xiangyun.

"Is it something important?"

"Well, it's a gift I'm going to send to my mother. Please, there are only four days left. It will be too late when I am discharged from the hospital."

It was a small puppet made based on Todo Towara.

The fabric used for the puppet is very rough, and it looks like it was bought at a cheap market. The four characters "Happy Birthday" are crookedly sewn on it with white thread.

I learned from Todou Touka and Nango Yun that the other party had been staying up late to make this thing, so he was so tired that he fainted during training.

"Thank you!"

After Nango Yunna produced the puppet, she immediately worked overtime to make the lower body of the puppet.

-------------------------------------

Three more days passed after that. During these three days, Touka Todo was making puppets in addition to resting.

Until that last day comes.

On this day, the sun was deeply hidden by the clouds, and the color of the sky changed from its previous blue color to the color like water soaked in a dirty rag.

"Daohua, how are the puppets doing?"

"No need...it's already too late...I miscalculated the time..."

Her expression was a little gloomy, as if she was deliberately enduring something, and the small stuffed doll was held tightly in her hands.

In fact, Touka Todou forgot to include the time when he fainted when calculating the time.

Therefore, the orphanage director's birthday is not tomorrow as she imagined, but today.

Express delivery needs to go through the process of picking up, transporting, delivering, and signing for the order from the moment it is received. Today is the dean's birthday, and even if it is sent out now, it is already too late.

"Forget it...it will be the same tomorrow. Thank you Yun for accompanying me these days to fool around."

The girl put her hands on her eyes, trying desperately not to let the things in her eyes flow down. She knew that she was the hope of those children, and she was the only one who could never shed tears at this time.

But she couldn't stop the sadness in her heart, and big droplets of water splashed down her palms onto the white hospital bed.

"Ugh...hug, sorry, can you leave me alone for a while...?"

In this case, she still suppressed her voice that became a little hoarse.

"You still have time."

Nanxiang Yun held up her mobile phone to check the fastest subway route to the orphanage.

"It only takes three hours to get to Tokyo from here, so it's not too late."

"Eh...? B-but."

"Nothing, just tell me if you want to go back and meet the director of the orphanage and give her this doll."

He pried Dongdang Touka's hand away and forced the other person to look directly into his eyes.

"Oh...I, I think! I really want to go back! I really want to give this thing to my mother with my own hands!"

Looking into Nanxiang Yun's eyes, it seemed that the grievances Dongdang Touka had suffered over the years had finally found an outlet. No one was born to take care of others. She hypnotized herself countless times late at night. She was the hero of the children. He carries the hopes of those children on his shoulders.

Slowly, the children in the orphanage really worshiped her as a hero, and she really became the hope in their hearts.

However, who remembers that before she became a hero and a hope, she was just a little girl who was forced to become mature.

Finally, the young Dongtang Daohua hugged Nanxiang Yun and burst into tears without restraint.

Chapter 143 Childhood Promise 4K

"I see, you are the boy who was hiding in the tree with Dao Hua."

The story told by Nango Yun awakened the memory of Guidehara Kanata many years ago.

"Huh? Wait, were you there before? And you discovered us?!"

"Maybe you don't remember, but we met a long time ago."

The orphanage where Toudo Touka lives is called [Wakaba's House], which is an orphanage funded by the Guidehara Group.

On the dean's birthday, invitations will naturally be sent to people in the Guideyuan Group.

Guidehara Kanata is a child of the Guidehara Group. She had nothing to do that day and happened to attend the birthday party of the director of the orphanage.

Then she saw the two little figures hiding in the tree when the director of the orphanage was holding a birthday party.

"Yun, move your head away, I won't be able to see you."

"There is only so much room to hide. If I move out of the way, I will be poked by a branch."

Sparse sounds came from the not-so-dense landscape trees, and a few fallen leaves drifted down from the branches.

On the branch of that tree, the young Todou Touka was lying on Nanxiang Yun's body, and the two of them squatted there together with the help of the cover of the leaves.

Time goes back to the time when they first set out.

After Nango Yun asked for leave from Nango Torajiro, the two children embarked on the road to the orphanage.

However, when she finally arrived at the entrance of the orphanage after all the hard work, Tōdō Touka's gentleness made her hesitate.
