Chapter 336: Let’s Order First
“Knock, knock, knock—”
“Come in.”
In the VIP room of Tianyuan Restaurant, crisp knocking sounds came from the door. The woman sitting at the table playing with something on her hand showed a hint of joy and called out cleanly towards the door.
The door to the private room was slowly pushed open, and what walked in were clearly students, young boys and girls in uniform.
“Auntie Longji.” X2
“Ah, Shinichi and little Kazumi, long time no see.”
“Quick, sit down, sit down, don’t be shy, just make yourselves at home, especially little Kazumi, Shinichi, keep an eye on her.”
Listening to their calls, Longji was quite pleased as she greeted them, gesturing for them to sit down quickly.
Controlling the expression on her face and her heartbeat, Kazumi finally had the leisure to sit down slowly and observe the woman in front of her.
It wasn’t that Kazumi was shy or unsociable. It was just that meeting with such a powerful hero ranked so highly by the association was a very dangerous matter for a girl who was already in an opposing camp, especially after being severely injured by Shun Muto not too long ago.
However, Kazumi eventually agreed to the request. Firstly, during their accidental encounter before, she could feel that Longji, as Shinichi Sato’s elder, seemed to have quite a good impression of her. Secondly, Doggy had been by her side, and she couldn’t find a good reason to refuse for the moment.
Moreover, Shun Muto, who ranked higher than Longji and had excellent perceptive abilities, didn’t seem to be able to sense her capabilities. Now that she had lost most of her death energy, she should have no way of being discovered by him.
In that case, it would be better to be a good and obedient child, gain some favor with her elders, and prepare for future needs.
In a sense, the network of connections behind Doggy was worth more than he was himself.
Her chestnut-brown hair was casually let down, and her beautiful features carried a certain heroic aura. Just sitting there gave one the feeling of facing an ancient fierce beast, and even without emitting a trace of her power, it was enough to make the young girl feel immense pressure.
“As expected of a powerful hero ranked eleventh, but this pressure is even more terrifying than what Shun Muto makes me feel…”
With a perfect smile on her face, the girl’s gaze slowly moved downwards, as if politely trying to keep her sight at a parallel level.
Then, what met the girl’s eyes was a blue, unknown liquid squeezing out of Longji’s hand to greet her!
“Hello, Kiyomizu-san!”
The viscous blue liquid struggled to escape from the woman’s large palm, finally gathering into a light blue lump, waving a huge blue arm.
“Hetuan-Academy Head?!” “Huh, Uncle Hetuan, you’re here too?”
The sudden appearance of the blue lump caused both of them to exclaim in surprise. On the table, the association hero, known by his Hero Name “Blue Demon,” and also the head of Shikoku Gakuin, the Professional Hero, Sticky Hetuan, was present.
“Slap—”
A large palm unceremoniously knocked the blond young man on the head, and a solid ‘#’ symbol bulged on Hetuan’s head.
“What do you mean ‘I’m here too,’ can’t I come, you brat!!”
“But, Uncle Hetuan, aren’t you supposed to be guarding the school…”
Touching the visible lump on his head, Shinichi Sato replied pitifully.
“Hmph, today is the first time we uncles and aunts are inviting little Kazumi to eat, of course I have to come.”
Two small blue hands were condensed at Hetuan’s waist, and the entire slime, Hetuan, swelled up, looking proudly at Shinichi Sato.
“Slap—”
A clean slap fell, and the rising blue lump was directly slapped back into a puddle of mud. Looking down that muscular arm, one could see Longji’s incredibly gentle smile.
“Don’t listen to him babbling, this is just a clone, you don’t need to worry too much about the school.”
“Just a clone and I can be slapped around like this?! My main consciousness is here, you darn Longji!”
The liquid between Longji’s fingers once again formed into a small Hetuan, and he angrily shouted at Longji. Then, he was flicked away by her finger again.
“Alright, alright, Hetuan is just like this usually. He has to be serious at school because he’s the academy head, but he can relax a bit in private.”
As if sensing the girl’s nervousness, Longji explained with a smile to Kazumi, hoping that the girl wouldn’t bring her school demeanor into private interactions.
“Mhm, Auntie Longji.”
Looking up at Longji’s chestnut-brown eyes, Kazumi pursed her lips and nodded seriously.
“Oh dear, why are you still like this? When I visited you at the hospital before, your expression when you stood in front of that brat wasn’t this nervous.”
Longji couldn’t help but reach out and ruffle the girl’s head, smiling.
“Because you are an elder…”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, Hetuan and I don’t go by that. You’ll get to know us better as you spend more time with us. We think very highly of you, little Kazumi.”
Listening to the girl’s answer, Longji’s smile deepened.
Although the other party hadn’t followed her advice, just from these few meetings, such a girl who was willing to risk her life to protect Shinichi Sato and was respectful of elders was incredibly likable in every way.
“Actually, I’ve wanted to have a meal with you, little Kazumi, for a long time. It’s a novel thing for that brat to have someone he likes. I remember in junior high, he beat up a girl who sent him love letters.”
Longji took a sip of the warm tea in her cup, casually revealing the boy’s past embarrassing moments.
“Ah, I thought that was a challenge letter.”
As for his embarrassing past, Shinichi Sato could only helplessly scratch the back of his head. After all, it was really difficult to explain such things to Kazumi.
Listening to Doggy’s stories, even Kazumi couldn’t help but chuckle. This was indeed something Shinichi Sato would do.
“But it seems now, both Hetuan and I think very highly of you, little Kazumi. Or rather, if that brat doesn’t work hard, we think he won’t be good enough for you.” “Auntie Longji!”
With a teasing expression, Longji raised an eyebrow at Shinichi Sato opposite her.
“I think Shinichi is also a very outstanding person, and it’s very comfortable to be with him, so he’s not unworthy!”
Her heart gaining the approval of the two elders, the girl’s mouth turned up a few degrees, but she still obediently replied to Longji.
“Hahaha, all right, all right, I know you two have a good relationship, I won’t joke with you anymore.”
Looking at the girl’s serious and earnest expression, Longji couldn’t help but reveal a bit of an aunt’s smile. She reached out and patted Hetuan, who was sitting on the table, and asked.
“Hetuan, don’t you have something to say to little Kazumi too?” “Mm.”
The blue lump, which had been rolling around all this time, also coalesced at this moment. Its round body sat upright on the plate, its expression extremely serious, its jet-black eyes earnestly looking at the young boy and girl opposite them.
Small blue hands suddenly extended from its body, pointing towards the menu booklet placed at the corner of the table.
“Let’s order first.”
