Reborn In Tokyo After Picking Up Sayu Who Ran Away From Home

  Chapter 698 Visiting the study duo

the other side-

   Sayu asked the **** the yoga mat.

   "I mean you, Miss Shinjo, have you heard of the group "Bond Project"? "

   While doing a stretching yoga pose, Xinjoxiang replied disapprovingly: "I haven't heard of it, so what? A certain rock band?"

   "No. Although I understand your feelings, this understanding is still a big mistake!"

   Sayu put up a finger in a serious manner, and explained: "Listen well, the other party is like us, an NPO organization."

  The so-called NPO (Non-Profit Organization) refers to those organizations that are not for profit, but for the purpose of achieving social welfare or mutual benefit.

   It must be mentioned that non-profit is not equal to non-profit.

  Although the government legally requires such organizations not to use the profits they earn for personal distribution, that doesn’t really mean that all members should generate electricity for love.

   In other words, these organizations can make a profit. Such as extracting management fees from donations, engaging in paid services, investing in value-added, paying members salaries, etc.—

  —but only for personal gain.

  No matter what form of profit is obtained, after deducting operating costs, it must continue to be used to achieve the mission of the organization and must not be used for other purposes.

  Xin Tiaoxiang was not interested in this topic, so she asked casually, "Then, is that group also dedicated to helping gods treat young girls?"

  “No, the other side doesn’t seem to give special treatment to this group like we do, but will help those young women who are self-harming, aiding, suffering abuse, sexual violence, and suicide tendencies to get out of trouble.”

  Sayu sorted out her words, suppressed her excitement and said, "Anyway, I contacted that group, and their representative agreed that we will visit tomorrow~~!"

"visit?"

   "Yes! That organization has been established for quite a long time, and it has been reported in the news. Its operations are very mature in all aspects. I think we can learn a lot of experience!"

   "So that's it, I understand your intention." Xintiaoxiang said clearly: "So, when is your appointment with someone else? I will go with you then."

   "Really!?" Sayu cheered: "That's great! Actually, I'm a little nervous. If Miss Xinjo is willing to join me, I'll really feel a lot more at ease."

  Xinjoxiang glanced at her and reminded:

   "You haven't forgotten that this is part of our deal, right? I promised to help you develop the association, but you have to tell me everything about you and the president afterwards."

   "Of course I remember, just don't worry, Ms. Xinjo. Also, my appointment with the other party is at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and the place is near Shinjuku. Is Miss Xinjo free?"

"Can."

   "Then shall I call Miss Serizawa tomorrow?"

   "If Xiao Xi also comes, what should Muzi downstairs do? Let her stay at home alone?"

   "Mami said that she will come tomorrow and can help take care of Miss Muzi."

  Xintiaoxiang finished her yoga movements, pulled her hair behind her ears, thought for a while and said, "There's no need to call Xiao Xi, just the two of us."

  Sayu didn't ask any further questions, and replied hello.

  …

  The next day at half past three in the afternoon.

  The two took the Keio Line to Hatagaya Station in Shibuya. After walking from the station for 4 minutes, we arrived at our destination.

  Although it is halfway through April, there are still faint clouds of early spring floating in the sky.

  The pigeons are resting quietly on the branches, as if they are enjoying the beauty of spring.

  Sayu slapped her cheek lightly, feeling the coolness brought by the breeze.

  In order not to give people the impression of being too casual, she chose a suit with a thin coat and skirt today, and her legs were a little cool.

  In contrast to Xinjoxiang, she chose a combination of black long-sleeved and high-waisted jeans. The opening design of the upper arm of the long sleeves slightly reveals the skin, which looks fashionable and stable, and has a wonderful sense of harmony with the casual temperament of the owner.

  —Miscalculated.

  Sayu thought to herself, quietly confirmed whether her clothes were neat, and naturally straightened her body.

  Although the girl next to her is not tall, she gives off a subtle mature taste, exudes a sense of imbalance that has experienced a certain experience, and attracts people's attention.

  She knew the reason behind this, and also vaguely understood that the other party was not as smooth as he appeared on the surface, but was actually a transparent and almost indifferent person in essence.

  Maybe she stared at it for too long, Xintiaoxiang turned her head suspiciously, met her eyes, and opened her mouth slightly.

   "What do you see me doing? Aren't you going to meet someone else? What should I do next?"

  Sayu smiled, and pointed forward, "It should be this building. Their office is on the sixth floor, we just go up."

  Xinjoxiang looked in the direction she pointed.

  A red building stands in front of them. It is a kind of apartment for commercial and residential use, and the appearance looks a bit ugly.

  Xinjoxiang looked away and said, "Since you know the exact floor, let's go up quickly."

   "Okay~~" Sayu readily agreed and walked ahead to lead the way.

  The two entered from the main entrance and took the elevator to the sixth floor.

  Located at the end of the corridor, a woman in a gray frock coat was standing there, looking at them inquiringly.

   "Yo." The other party waved and asked, "May I ask, are you here to visit?"

   "Ah, yes, hello."

  Sayu answered hastily, stepped up a little bit, then slowed down a little distance away from the opponent, hesitating.

  How to describe it?

  The woman has neat short hair and a big face. She is about 35 years old. There are subtle wrinkles on her forehead and the corners of her eyes, revealing the traces of time.

  Although it is not appropriate to say this, the other party not only looks a little fierce, but also has a slightly sturdy body shape, giving people a feeling that he is not close to him.

   Sayu felt a little nervous unconsciously, and couldn't help but look to her side. Xinjoxiang had a calm expression and asked quite naturally.

   "Hi, are you from "BondProject"? "

  The woman showed a heroic smile and said affirmatively: "Welcome, I am Tachibana Jun, the representative of "Bond Project", which one of you is Sayu? "

  The other party grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth. The enthusiastic smile diluted the tyranny on his face, which made Sayu relax a little.

   "Hello, we are members of the "OSY Association". I'm Sayu Ogihara, who was in contact with you, Tachibana, and this is my partner Shinjoka. "

  She bowed respectfully, "Thank you for giving us this precious opportunity to visit, please take care of me."

  Xintiaoxiang also bowed her head and said, please take care of me.

   "Where? You're welcome."

  Ju Chun waved his hand and responded easily:

   "It's rare to see people of your age who are interested in public welfare. I'm also very happy to meet young people with passion like you. Anyway, come and visit first."

""excuse me. ""

  Sayu and Shinjoka agreed in unison, and then followed each other into the room with the "Bond Project" signboard.

   This is a veritable apartment with a small area that can barely accommodate five people.

  Considering the high rent nearby, it is not difficult to understand the reason for choosing an apartment as an office location.

  The room as a whole has been transformed into an office, with desks and computers next to the walls. Several employees share a desk, and some materials are piled up on the desk.

  Seeing them walk in, the three employees sitting at their workstations cast curious eyes and nodded in a friendly way.

  Different from Sayu’s expectations, people here are all wearing casual clothes to work, and they don’t seem so formal.

  Ms. Tachibana Jun greeted the employees, then led them into the room converted from a bedroom into a reception room, and sat down at the conference table in the center.

  Then, the other party poured two cups of water out of disposable paper cups, put them in front of them, and said with a smile:

   "Sorry, our office is relatively small, did it disappoint you?"

   Sayu quickly waved his hand to deny, "No, please don't say that, but we should say sorry because we took the liberty to disturb you."

  Xintiaoxiang moistened her throat with a sip of water, and said casually: "I think the layout outside is a bit like a school's teacher's office, and this is the student guidance room, which makes people feel unexpectedly friendly."

  The wonderful metaphor made Ju Chun laugh heartily.

   "Ahaha, this description is really interesting. Sure enough, young people are very interesting. It makes me miss my student life a little bit~"

  After laughing for a while, Ju Chun said softly: "Then you can treat it as if you are at school. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. You don't have to be polite."

  Sayu and Shinjoka glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

   ""Yes, please feel free to enlighten me. ""

  …

  After seeking Jun Tachibana's consent, Sayu took out his notebook and mobile phone, and planned to record while asking questions.

  Xinjoxiang glanced at her densely written notebook, leaned on the back of the chair, and decided to be an audience with peace of mind.

   "Then, please give me your advice."

  Sayu first asked the most basic question:

   "Miss Orange, can you tell us about the services your organization provides and your usual work schedule?"

  Ju Chun seems to have come prepared and explained fluently.

   “We mainly provide support activities for women who encounter difficulties. The project includes providing them with temporary housing, food supply and mental health counseling.

  Because the target group is young women, everyone usually pays attention to the information on the Internet, pays attention to whether someone posts news about running away from home and asking for help, and then sends DM confirmation to the other party. "

  DM (DirectMessage), which means private message.

   "Pay attention to the information on the Internet, do you mean the kind of website dedicated to notice girls? I have searched on the Internet, but the results seem a bit strange..."

  Tachibana Jun was not surprised at all, and said with a smile:

   "You're going to find it weird because they're scam sites out there to scam wannabe 'gods' out of money, and everything in there is bogus.

  Generally speaking, most women will not use that kind of suspicious website first, but use familiar SNS and famous dating websites, and secondly, they will not call themselves **** girls. "

   "Uh, so it wouldn't be...?"

  "Yes. If you search for "#神待" on Twitter, you will find that the following tags are basically fraudulent websites.

  When most women want to ask for help, they usually use tags such as "#家出", "#谁让我住屋", "#属助", "#想走家走". "

   Sayu was taken aback, but immediately felt reasonable again.

  The word "God treats" seems to have no problem at first glance, but it is full of flaws when you look deeper. Not only is it very sensitive, but it is also prone to bad deals.

   Except for some people with ulterior motives, ordinary people will naturally not use this derogatory term to describe themselves.

  Ju Jun saw her unexpected expression and explained further.

  "Of course, even those tags that ask for help are not necessarily true, and there are also inducing information of fraudulent websites.

  Sayou calmed down, and followed the situation: "How to distinguish this, can you please explain in detail?"

  "It's very simple, in fact, you can roughly tell the difference just by looking at the level of detail of the information.

  In order to attract victims, those pretenders usually use pictures of cute girls as profile pictures, and use contact information as bait to leave links to fraudulent websites on it.

   There are no superfluous things on Twitter for real girls from home. The homepage only writes some age and living conditions. When posting information for help, we will also try our best to use a trumpet that can be given up at any time. "

  Ju Chun said as he took out his mobile phone, opened Twitter, and showed them some examples on the spot for comparison.

   "This is the account used by a woman we rescued before. You can see that there are 60 users who have not followed people on the account. Do you understand why?"

  The other party asked meaningfully, as if wanting to study them.

   "Hmm ~ this..."

  Sayu frowned lightly, worried for a while, and couldn't help looking at the people beside her, hoping to get some inspiration.

  Xinjoxiang noticed her eyes and said casually:

   "Apart from non-profit organizations like ours, who else do you think would care about the accommodation of a strange woman?"

   "You mean..."

   Sayu understood what she wanted to express in an instant, and opened her eyes slightly, while Tachibana Jun directly affirmed it.

  "That's right, just like Miss Shinjo said.

  While we want to help these women, there are many men who are also coveting them, which makes our job much more difficult. We must act before they do. "

"I see…"

  Sayu nodded slowly, remembering these words one by one in her heart, and then asked the next question that she was particularly concerned about.

   "Miss Orange, may I ask how your organization raises funds to ensure the normal operation of the organization?"

  This question is a bit bold, like asking someone else's unique secret book, even if the master will be angry because of this, it is not surprising, but such a situation did not happen.

   Facing her inquiry, Tachibana Chun expressed generously:

   "Are you looking for funding for your organization?

   I do have some fundraising methods on my side, but that's not something you guys can just use right now.

  In short, let me briefly talk about it first. You can write it down first, and then make adjustments based on your own situation. "

  …
