Chapter 87: Hamano Tsukasa’s Affection Up
Rubbing his own brow, Hamano Tsukasa finally saw off the dark-faced teacher who had been holding onto him and chattering incessantly.
Looking at the tall receding back, Hamano Tsukasa couldn’t help but sigh. He hadn’t expected that this dark-faced teacher, who appeared to be a man of few words, would have so much to say when his student was in trouble.
Hamano Tsukasa considered himself to have good self-control, but being repeatedly instructed by Ishiryu Daito had made him somewhat deaf. However, this was also why Hamano Tsukasa had placed Sato Shinichi in this class.
On one hand, it was to hide his identity and allow him to live a normal student life. On the other hand, a dedicated and caring homeroom teacher could better help a young boy grow.
As for his powers?
In this world, was there anyone more suitable to be that brat’s teacher than himself? (Sato Shinichi, bruised and swollen, strongly disagreed!!)
Watching Ishiryu Daito’s car gradually depart in the distance, Hamano Tsukasa waved to his subordinate behind him, signaling them to bring Kazumi Shimizu out.
In fact, Hamano Tsukasa could have done this earlier, but in front of Ishiryu Daito, he still didn’t want to expose so much of his identity. It was quite good to be Sato Shinichi’s retired grandfather.
As soon as Hamano Tsukasa withdrew his hand, the wristwatch on his wrist began to beep incessantly.
Looking at the words “brat” displayed on it, Hamano Tsukasa’s face darkened, and he pressed the wristwatch.
But the next moment, the wristwatch rang again. Before Hamano Tsukasa could dismiss the new contact, a burst of data surged, and a small window projected from the watch, showing Sato Shinichi lying anxiously on a hospital bed.
“Old man, old man, how is Kazumi?! Is she hurt?! Did she cry? Do you need me to come over?!”
Looking at Sato Shinichi with a foolish expression, who immediately bombarded him with three rapid-fire questions, Hamano Tsukasa almost vomited blood and died. White arcs of electricity, signifying rage, surged around him. With a grim face, he roared at Sato Shinichi.
“Is this how you ask your master for help, you brat!!! You called me out in the middle of the night, why don’t you care about my sleep?!! Your mind is full of your little girlfriend, why don’t you come over yourself!!”
Veins popped out on his forehead. If Sato Shinichi were in front of him now, he would definitely teach that brat a severe lesson.
“Uh… it’s not like you beat me up, otherwise I would have come myself.”
Sensing that what he said might not be quite right, Sato Shinichi still pouted and reluctantly turned his head to the side, saying.
“You!!! Sato Shinichi, you just wait. If I don’t extend your hospital stay for another week today, I won’t be your teacher anymore!!!”
Hamano Tsukasa, who had been comforting himself internally with thoughts like: [He’s my kid, don’t beat him to death, if he dies, he’s gone], immediately threw those thoughts out of his mind. Now, he just wanted to rush back and beat that brat up again!!
“Lord Sato, I’ve brought the person.”
A subordinate’s report came from behind him. Seeing the young girl brought by his subordinate, Hamano Tsukasa fiercely said to Sato Shinichi on the other end of the screen that he would deal with him later, closed the watch, and walked towards Kazumi.
“Grandpa Sato!”
Seeing Hamano Tsukasa approaching, Kazumi finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was one of her dependencies.
If she went missing, Sato Shinichi, as her number one simp, would definitely discover something was wrong. Then, through his family’s background, he would inquire about her current situation, which was quite normal.
However, this speed is too fast…
In Kazumi’s imagination, even if she went missing, people wouldn’t immediately investigate what happened to her, right? The police department defines a missing person after 48 hours. It’s only been a few hours, and Grandpa Sato is already here.
This is already developing into yandere territory!!
Dog, you picked the wrong talent points!! Isn’t it better to be a normal simp?!
Thinking about how she would have to properly train her dog in the future, lest he really go astray and then break up with her and chop her with a kitchen knife, she then thought about the scenario of “Jing first, then kill”.
Lost in thought about Sato Shinichi, Kazumi lowered her head, looking like she had done something wrong, and walked towards Hamano Tsukasa.
“Alas, you little girl, you’re just as troublesome as that brat. Grandpa now understands how you two got together.”
Reaching out and rubbing Kazumi’s head, Hamano Tsukasa looked at the young girl in front of him and said helplessly.
Hamano Tsukasa had a very good impression of Kazumi. He didn’t care about the girl’s past and background, but being perceptive, he could clearly sense Kazumi’s incredibly sincere feelings for his brat.
As for other things, he, as the elder, would bear them. The brat should grow up properly first, and then take over his responsibilities!!
Because of his previous suspicions and doubts about Kazumi, Hamano Tsukasa actually felt a bit guilty towards her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed over himself just because Sato Shinichi said something. For such matters, having his subordinates handle it would have made no difference.
“Sorry to trouble you, Grandpa Sato.”
Lowering her head and acting cute, Kazumi had specifically learned online how to please the elderly. It wasn’t about skills, but more about using her junior status to act cute and coquettish. However, the prerequisite was that the elder liked her. Currently, it seemed to be effective in front of Grandpa Sato.
“However, Little Kazumi’s actions really make Grandpa look at you with new eyes!”
Reaching out and stroking the little head that nuzzled against him twice more, Hamano Tsukasa’s eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction. He was rarely impressed by the girl’s actions.
After all, as a professional hero of the martial arts faction, Hamano Tsukasa rarely had that saintly feeling of a hero. Compared to heroes who saved people, his title of “Symbol of Peace” was built on the corpses of evil organizations and various monsters.
Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he didn’t want Kazumi, who would be Sato Shinichi’s partner in the future, to be a fragile girl. However, this was just the wish of an elder. Overall, Hamano Tsukasa would not control everything about Sato Shinichi.
But Kazumi’s current performance unexpectedly met Hamano Tsukasa’s taste. At least, this kind of personality that dares to act directly when facing a threat wouldn’t drag Sato Shinichi down at critical moments.
Reaching out and handing the hot drink given by his subordinate to Kazumi, Hamano Tsukasa said with a faint smile.
“It’s alright now. Grandpa will handle the rest for you. I’ll have someone send you back later. Don’t be afraid. If you have any more problems, just tell that brat.”
