Chapter 73 72. Friends of the Crows
"No problem, where do you want to go?" Faced with Yachuan Sakufumi's invitation, Kyushu Makoto nodded and agreed.

It's all here, and I've eaten, so it's not good to reject her in front of her father.

"I'm just going to the backyard, and I want you to watch something." Yachuan Sakifumi waved to him, motioning him to follow.

When passing by the door of the kitchen, Sakifumi Yagawa picked up a plastic bucket, which was full of kitchen waste such as bones and leftovers.

The backyard of the Yachuan family is relatively narrow, roughly consisting of lawns and some common vegetation, and no special gardening arrangements have been made.

In the corner of the backyard is a small warehouse made of iron sheets, with a chain around the door.

"This is the motorcycle my mother used to use. She hasn't ridden it for many years." Yachuan Sakiwen casually introduced:

"It is said that she was a gangster who almost made the traffic police post a wanted list back then~"

"In Wano country's words, she used to cause trouble to people." Makoto Kyushu sighed and commented: "I really don't take life seriously."

"Actually, I can also ride. I probably inherited my mother's talent, and I'll be able to learn it after a while~" Sakifumi Yagawa pretended to be casual and suggested:
"I'm going to take the motorcycle driver's license test recently, let's take you for a ride next time~"

"No problem, then I'll look forward to it." Jiuzhou Cheng didn't resist, and readily agreed: "But please at least don't drive like your mother, it's very dangerous."

"Got it, Grandpa Kyushu~" Yachuan Sakifumi pouted, and joked jokingly: "Let's not talk about this, they are here~"

"they?"

As soon as the words fell, Jiuzhou Cheng heard the sound of flapping wings and two "quack" calls from time to time in the sky.

Jiuzhou Cheng looked up and found that the sky was full of darkness—a large flock of crows was flying in the sky at some point.

"Xiao——!" Yachuan Sakifumi stuffed his fingers into his mouth, blew a horse whistle, and waved at them again.

The crows seemed to understand what she meant, and they landed in the courtyard one after another, and some even landed on her shoulders.

Kyushu Makoto stepped back cautiously to prevent being hurt by the crows.

"Don't be afraid, these children are very good~" Yachuan Sakiwen touched the little head of the crow on his shoulder with his hand.

The crow also looked at her with dazed, silly eyes, and took two steps back and forth on her shoulders.

Yagawa Sakifumi spread a layer of plastic paper on the ground, and poured all the contents of the swill bucket on it.

In an instant, the crows were attracted by the food and rushed to grab it.

Crows are omnivores and generally feed on carrion, insects, fruits and small animals.But crows living in cities will also gradually begin to adapt to human food.

"Are you raising them?" Makoto Kyushu asked in surprise as he watched a crow come out with a meaty bone in its mouth.

"When we first moved here, we found that there were many crows wandering in the backyard." Yachuan Sakiwen looked down at the eating crows, and his eyes gradually became much calmer:
"After asking about it later, I found out that the original resident would often feed the leftovers to the crows around. Over time, the crows in the vicinity gathered here, and they almost used this place as a canteen."

"After we moved here, the crows still came every day, squawking. One day I couldn't take it anymore, so I poured the slop bucket in the backyard. They ate happily and helped me clean up the ground."

"Later, I became friends with them."

After a crow ate the food, it jumped onto Yagawa Sakifumi's shoulder and raised a bird's paw.

"Eh? Isn't this the earring lost by the neighbor's house before?" Sakumo Yagawa turned his head to look, and was pleasantly surprised to find a shiny ring hooked on his paw:

"The neighbor said that this earring was a wedding token, and posted a reward~ Now I can make a fortune!"

Jiuzhoucheng stood aside and watched for a while, and couldn't help chuckling: "Is this their repayment?"

"Well~ They often bring me some shiny things. If the nearby neighbors lose jewelry or small objects, they will come to us immediately to ask us." Yachuan Sakiwen reached out and rubbed the crow's little head again, in order to Express thankfulness:
"These crows are cute and spiritual. As long as I give them an order, they won't make any noise. I used to complain that there were too many mice nearby, but they actually started to catch and eat them. After I came to Tokyo, the first thing I handed over The friends who arrived are them~”

After eating, a few crows played with the senior sister.

"Hee hee~ It's itchy, don't peck my face"

"Oops, don't step on my pants!"

"."

The senior sister and the crows were playing happily, and even deliberately imitated a few crow calls.

She danced happily again to an unknown genre, which looked like a mixture of pop and hip-hop.A group of crows surrounded her, spinning and flying around her, as if they really had a spirituality close to human beings.

Jiuzhoucheng stood by and enjoyed this strange scene, and a crow also flew to his shoulder.

Unlike other crows, the eyes of this crow are slightly red, which may be a rare individual with a genetic mutation.

After the crow stared at him stupidly for a while, it suddenly pecked hard, as if it wanted to bite off his face.

"Damn! What the hell?!" Makoto Kyushu exclaimed in pain, and punched the crow at a very fast speed.

The crow let out a scream, let go of its mouth and staggered away.

Kyushu Makoto's shout interrupted the frolicking of the crows.Yachuan Sakifumi stopped and saw Kyushu Makoto's face bleeding.

"Kyushu-kun, what's going on?" Yachuan Sakifumi eagerly stepped forward to check.

"I was pecked by a crow." Kyushu Makoto touched the blood on his face and said indifferently.

"Strange, these crows don't attack people." Yachuan Sakumi became a little confused, and began to feel guilty again.

She quickly blew away the other crows with a horse whistle, and said to Jiuzhou Cheng: "Let's go back first, and I will help you bandage!"

The two walked into the house, Yachuan Sakufu hurriedly treated Kyushu Makoto's wounds, Yachuan and his wife suggested that they go to the hospital for a look.

When the two left the hospital, a layer of sunset had already spread in the sky, illuminating the streets and buildings golden.

Fortunately, after the doctor's examination, he said that the wound was not serious, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm really sorry!" Yachuan Sakifumi bowed deeply to Kyushu Makoto, looking extremely guilty:

"This kind of thing happened, obviously crows don't attack people"

"Who knows, just like not everyone is a good person, and crows are not necessarily good crows." Jiuzhou Cheng didn't take it seriously:
"But you can get along so well with these little animals. I really can't imagine that I have seen a different side of you."

Sakifu Yagawa pursed her lips pretending to be casual, and said as if she was thinking: "Actually, sometimes I feel that I seem to be inseparable from animals like crows in my life."

"Isn't that a bad thing?" Makoto Kyushu thought for a while and asked, "I remember that in Wano Country, isn't a crow a symbol of luck?"

"But Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who said those words, died in that battle~" Sakifumi Yagawa sat on the railing a little lonely, muttering:

"In the final analysis, crows are unpleasant birds, symbolizing misfortune and death. No one will like my father, mother, and I are like this. In fact, students from Kyushu still hate me~"

Senior sister seems to have something on her mind, maybe she wants me to help with psychological counseling, Kyushu Makoto's intuition told him so.

Makoto Kyushu thought for a moment, and said bluntly and seriously: "That's right, Sakifumi Yagawa. I hate you very much, and I will never forgive you in this life."

"Hey..." Yachuan Sakifumi opened his eyes slightly, his already frustrated expression became even more lost, and then he shook his head as if accepting his fate, hesitating to speak.

"But even crows that are hated by people will repay the human beings who feed them, so you can treat them as friends." Jiuzhou Cheng changed the subject and showed a relaxed smile:

"People are both good and bad, and a charismatic person will try to get rid of the bad and promote the good. Their struggle, confession, redemption is like trying to draw a perfect circle with freehand. The shape is the same, constantly pursuing all the beautiful things and characters in the world.”

"The journey they pursue will never reach the end, but they will never turn back. This is precisely the charm of human beings. I like such people very much, just like you now, Yachuan-senpai."

Yagawa Sakifumi was taken aback, her dark brown eyes blinked quickly and in surprise, and her face was flushed red by the afterglow of the setting sun.

"..." After pondering for a while without knowing the meaning, Sakifumi Yagawa joked softly: "Hey, where did you learn this kind of speech like a philosopher?"

"I forgot, maybe I read it from a book, or maybe I made it up now." Jiuzhou Cheng smiled heartily and frankly, and gave her a thumbs up:

"Stop thinking that you are a crow, and no one will like you for it. In my eyes, your willingness to atone for the past is very courageous, and I hope you can keep it going."

Kyushu paused, and then said:

"If you lose motivation because you're afraid that no one likes you, let me like you."

Yagawa Sakifumi listened quietly, and involuntarily raised his head to look up at the winding clouds under the setting sun, and sighed thoughtfully:

"You... even the emotion of "like" is a tool used to save others? "

Immediately, she seemed to be relieved, and suddenly jumped over to give Jiuzhou Cheng a hug.

"But because you are such a weirdo, I also like you very much, Kyushu-kun is of course a friend~"

The senior sister's body is very skinny, and you can still feel the faint traces of muscles.Unlike Mizuhashi, who is as sweet and greasy as glutinous rice balls, she is like a spring gushing out, exuding a steady stream of refreshing vitality.

The height of the two is about the same, and the short hair of the senior sister rubs gently on Kyushu Makoto's face, exuding the fragrance of mint-flavored shampoo.

"I'm not sure, can friends hug so intimately?" Jiuzhou Cheng put his hands in his pockets to make sure he didn't accidentally touch any part of her.

"You are too old-fashioned~" Sakifumi Yagawa let go of his arms and took two steps back, then bent down slightly, and looked up at him with a smirk:
"You can hug like this between friends~"

Saying that, Yagawa Sakifumi stuffed another bag of lunch into Kyushu Makoto's hand, ran away a few steps, then turned and waved to him:

"Then see you tomorrow, partner of justice~"
