Chapter 207 Young Girl, You’ve Found a Suspicious Point!
What kind of hero is the [Blade Warrior], who ranks seventh on the Hero Association’s Hero Ranking?
If you were to ask Kazumi from before this question, you would receive romanticized labels such as “powerful swordsman,” “ronin,” and “wanderer who hates evil.”
However, if you were to ask Kazumi this question after riding a car to the Sato family’s small villa, the young girl would definitely reply fiercely.
“He’s just a sloppy old uncle who only tells vulgar jokes and has no bottom line!!”
Who knows how Kazumi got out of that black sedan. Previously, due to the distance, Kazumi hadn’t seen Shun Muto’s face clearly, so she had only tentatively guessed that he was a powerful psychic skilled in using swords, but she didn’t expect him to be the [Blade Warrior], a hero ranked in the top ten.
Next came the perfect interpretation of “practice is the criterion of truth.” If anyone were to tell Kazumi that [Blade Warrior] is a powerful and handsome wandering swordsman in the future, Kazumi would immediately let Little Black devour that person who distorts right and wrong.
This sloppy old uncle, dressed in ragged blue kimono, immediately started touching things left and right, and then began telling Sato Shinichi some stinking, low-grade yellow jokes, calling it something every man must experience, completely disregarding Kazumi’s presence in the car.
Moreover, Kazumi was practically tired of hearing such trashy yellow jokes, and if she were to get excited, she could talk about the first-rate live broadcast without repeating a single joke for half an hour.
Thus, after enduring a journey of noisy, greasy conversations, low-grade yellow jokes, and the disillusionment of her hero idol, Kazumi finally arrived at their destination, a detached villa in a high-end wealthy area.
Admittedly, Kazumi had underestimated the wealth of her boyfriend’s family. This four-story villa with thick walls and a security gate alone exceeded Kazumi’s imagination of wealthy families, even giving her a thought of “So being a hero is so profitable.”
“Yo!! As expected of you, senpai, this place seems much bigger than your house in Nagoya. How about I stay here for one night? I absolutely won’t bother your maid anymore!”
Like a wild beast unleashed, Shun Muto was much more cheerful than Kazumi, appearing more like a junior who hadn’t graduated from school.
And doesn’t this conversation reveal some incredibly damning dark history, hey!
“Not ideal, and no smoking!”
Hamano Tsukasa was already prepared for his junior’s disposition. A lightning snake shot out as if it had been waiting, precisely burning away the pack of crumpled cigarette cases that the uncle had taken out of his pocket, leaving only Shun Muto holding the ashes in his hand, shouting in dismay.
“Senpai, what are you doing!! This is my last Lucky Strike!! And you smoke too, it’s too much to not let me smoke!!”
“Because I don’t casually throw away cigarette butts.”
He replied lightly, putting his hands behind his back and ignoring Shun Muto’s wailing behind him. Hamano Tsukasa walked slowly towards the villa’s main door, and the faint smile on his stern face proved that his mood was quite good.
“…”
“Um, Uncle Shun Muto is just a bit unkempt usually, but he’s actually a pretty good person.”
Sato Shinichi scratched his head awkwardly, looking at his girlfriend whose expression was almost turning into a “Hiyori” style. Although having such an elder was indeed embarrassing, he had brought him up since he was a child, and it would be better to say a few good words in front of his girlfriend.
“Mhm, Lord [Blade Warrior] is a true man of character…”
After holding back for a while, Kazumi finally managed to utter this sentence from her mouth and walked forward with Sato Shinichi.
“Little Kazumi, just call me Uncle Shun Muto. Calling me by my hero name is too distant. From now on, we’re family. As your uncle, I…”
“Next time, next time for sure. Little Kazumi, take this first. If you have time, come to Yokoo, and I’ll treat you. I forgot to bring gifts as I was too rushed, hahahahaha!”
As soon as the young girl called out Shun Muto’s name, the blue-clothed old uncle appeared beside the young girl like a phantom, correcting her way of addressing him.
Then, he generously reached into his pocket as if to take out a meeting gift, but in the end, he found nothing. He could only take out a crumpled white slip of paper and hand it over, saying loudly without any embarrassment on his face.
“Uncle Shun Muto…”
Kazumi originally thought Sato Shinichi was quite sociable, but now it seemed that compared to Shun Muto, Sato Shinichi was like an autistic infant!!
After mustering her courage, she finally called out the address. Kazumi took the paper slip handed by Shun Muto and looked at it. The paper slip, which seemed to have been in his pocket for a long time, seemed to be written with… a text message address?
“Alright, alright, Uncle Shun Muto, let’s go inside. It’s almost time for dinner, and we can talk about anything after we eat.”
Sato Shinichi patted his forehead with some helplessness. He felt helpless towards this uncle who was only reliable at critical moments. This was the first time he had invited his girlfriend to his home for dinner, and he didn’t want to leave a bad impression…
Sato Shinichi grabbed Shun Muto, who seemed to still want to say something, and pulled him inside, while also turning back to gesture to Kazumi behind him, asking her to follow.
Kazumi nodded, glanced around the villa’s surroundings again, and followed the two in front of her.
Kazumi, with a psychological age almost twice that of her boyfriend, would naturally not be bothered or embarrassed by such a thing. On the contrary, Kazumi was thinking much further than these things.
No matter how sloppy and unbearable Shun Muto appeared, it couldn’t deny that he was the powerful hero ranked seventh on the Hero Association’s Hero Ranking. As long as his strength matched this ranking, everything else was just floating clouds.
However, compared to these, what made Kazumi more concerned and feel a little uneasy was:
[Warhammer], as a professional hero who barely ranked in the second tier in the last century, why did he have such a close relationship with so many active heroes who are now ranked high?
