Chapter 19: Scandal
Kaito put the water from the shrine's water storage and the cheap ready-made ramen into the old steel pot. After that, he put it on a three-pronged iron stove. Then he put the little stove in front of the blonde girl who was talking about him with enthusiasm.
"Cook the noodles."
"At that time, Sensei was wearing a jacket and a white T-shirt. You put your hand in your pants pocket and said, 'Are you the bad boy Hitogiri?'
The girl seemed completely oblivious to the world around her. Kaito's adventures are long gone but many of his biographies were written to sell well.
When he defeated the villain Hitogiri, he didn't say a word and just kicked him in the face. The reason is ugly. But in the books, they are saying very stupid things, you might even think it's a shoujo manga. Also, that day, He need to go to his job, so he is with a fried chicken shop apron. But in the book, he is stupid like a young teenager.
When they were fought, no one saw them since the battleground is on an abandoned volcano. Just some of the heroes who came along. The author rewrote the responses from those people with his own ideas. Kaito was not even given some of the benefits from the book sales. Grandmother Koromi told her to file a lawsuit, but he was too lazy to attend the trial, so he didn't do it.
At the moment, Kaito is hungry. There is nothing to eat. As for the fried fishes, I gave it to Yusa-chan and Grandma Koromi, who had been eating only vegetables soaked in salted water since returning to the temple. Now, he only had a five-hundred-yen worth Miso ramen left for him. And now he need to share with this girl. Even so, he bought it from his bag.
When Kaito got impatient, he knocked the girl's head. The girl held her head with her hands and tears began to flow.
"It hurts..."
"Quickly cook the noodles."
"You don't use electricity or gas, huh?"
"The electricity bill will go up, the gas bill will go up."
"Do I need to pick up the firewood?"
"This is a small garden in front of the temple. Do you think there is enough wood to cook noodles? Don't pick it, use it with your strength."
"So...but do I have to use my power for five minutes?"
Kaito asked the girl with a questioning attitude. Even if you are hungry or have a conversation. When the girl understood, it was a different kind.
'Sensei is asking me to train so that I can use my power for a long time. I'm pretty stupid.' The girl didn't think about anything anymore. Because of the bluntness, the girl shook her head and spread her small palm out and released small fireballs. After that, she started to heat the old steel pot.
'I must try to become stronger than my sister.' This is the idea of this unknown girl.
Kaito was walking into the study room with a straw in his mouth that he didn't know where it came from.
'I've been lack of money for a long time. Should I sell this girl to the yakuza?' After a while, he shook himself.
'No, I am a hero. Super hero. And I'm the little girl's idol. I have to take care of her.' Bad thoughts and good thoughts are at war with each other. The small Kaito with the horn was urging to use the little girl, and the Kaito chibi with the golden ring on his head was forcefully stretching it. 'Are you a hero or a villain?'
After a while, he made a decision. 'It is almost impossible for such a young girl to have no parents. It looks like her mother informed the police. If I give information, they will even give him a reward of three million yen or so. I will report to the police later.' In the end, his decision, whether it was a good idea or a bad idea, got in the way.
After a while, the noodles were cooked. Kaito immediately finished the pot and drank the hot noodles like that. Even the lips of the pot did not touch. The soup flows in the air and reaches the mouth. 'Doesn't this guy feel the heat?' If someone is around, they will say like that. The problem is he is a god. And the god of fire.
"Sensei... for me too." The little girl is about to cry.
"Huh...drink the rest." Kaito gave the little girl the pot that wasn't too hot anymore.
The little girl wanted to cry when she saw the little noodles left. After heating the pot for five minutes, she was already tired. Now, only a small potion of Noodles is waiting for her.
"Sensei... you Inhuman old uncle!." The little girl pouted at Kaito and shouted. Kaito has a face that doesn't know why it happened.l
2.
The night has come.
Grandmother Koromi almost hit her with a broom when she saw a little girl brought by Kaito to their house. Then the little girl told her that she was looking for a teacher because she came down from her house, so she didn't get too upset the little girl. But they cannot notice the police department yet. The little girl still doesn't want to go home and says that she will run away again if they report to the police, so Grandma Koromi gives up. Tonight, she prepared a bed for little girl tp sleepw with her granddaughter Yusa.
Kaito had gone back to the statue since it was time to sleep.
"Don't worry, Divine Brother is a bit of a cat, but he loves children. And he keeps his promise. If he really says he's going to teach, he'll teach you"
Yusu-Chan said that and fell asleep in one fell swoop. The problem is that Kami-sama, didn't promise her to teach. hasn't said a word. She just came by force. And she think about herself in silent.
In fact, Her name is Mirai. Mirai Yamaguchi. From Japan's famous Yamaguchi family.
Her mother is from the Arc family, a famous family in Europe. The Yamaguchi family is not complacent with the power they have already acquired. They want more power. Forty years after becoming a powerhouse in Mutant world, they learned through research that mutant powers are hereditary. After that, the Yamaguchi family began to hand their sons in with powerful hero families.
The Yamaguchi family was able to marry the second daughter of the Arc family to their first lord after using many resources. Their first child, Usaki, also became a very powerful mutant. She became the most powerful swordsman by combining her mother's sword spirit power and his father's sword world view ability.
The Arc Family's sword spirit power is capable of summoning many swords from history. The greater the power, the more swords that can be summoned. Yamaguchi's sword worldview is actually a special visual power, but it enhances the understanding of swordsmanship and allows her to accurately see and quickly analyze events that happen too quickly during a fight.
Usaki was only able to summon one sword spirit, the beast-slaying sword Dojigiri, one of the five unrivaled swords in the Japanese sword world. The sword that killed the Demon King Doji. Within the effective range of the sword, it can also block the energy of other mutants. That's why Lucan, the young lord of the Ark family, couldn't defeat her. When these two forces come together, it's like a cataclysm. Also, her style really resembles a Japanese girl. Even though there was only one blond hair on her head. One can't see it unless look her closely.
Usaki is eight years older than Mirai. Eight years later, Mirai was born. Mirai is the opposite of her older sister. She was looks too much like her mother, and only her brown Asian eyes are similar to his father's. His early days were a peaceful childhood, but by the time she was eight years old, everything had changed.
As far as Mirai remembers, her powers awakened that year. Fire power. Neither her mother's sword spirit nor her father's sword world view. So their family members' eyes changed.
Those within the family who were jealous of Usaki's position as Young lady to inherit family lord title and her achievements began to spread rumors and threats. At the same time, Mirai was also discriminated against. 'Whose daughter are you born with?' 'Not from our family.' 'Go try it. An outsider.' These words are too strong for a young girl.
The worst thing is that the father, the first lord himself, did not have the courage to test the child's DNA. There is a person who thinks about fire power. As soon as he thought about that person, the first master no longer believed in him. Especially when it's a woman married for power.
Her husband's neglect, The suspicious looks of other family members, Mirai's mother, who had no way out, finally committed suicide because of the environment that harmed the child. Mirai was left alone. Usaki loves his little sister, but she doesn't have time to spend with her sister because she's constantly doing missions like a family toy.
In the end, Mirai ran away from home as a straw. In her hand, she held a hero card, a card game that children often play these days.
It is the card of Akaigami, the red god, Lord of Flames. A former S rank hero who hasn't appeared in front of people since he announced his retirement. A person who prevented a world-destroying danger and made a sacrifice. He was the most powerful number one in the world. Everyone has forgotten, but this little girl has not. Akaigami is even more powerful than her sister. And since their powers are the same, they set him up as a teacher and sought him out. But she was very lucky to have found such a coincidence. The current Tokyo underground world is much worse than that of Western cities.
There are only two Hero Associations in Japan, the Tokyo Association and the Osaka Association. Although there is another one in Hokkaido, it is only a branch office. If one don't count those who retired according to the current strength of Japan. They have one and fifteen A level. According to the country, it is at the fourth level. Russia, United States, China, Japan and Australia are countries with many S level Mutants. Therefore, the rule of law is still low. Larger countries like India and Brazil that do not yet have an S rating are much worse. The villains are very active in those country.
[Russia S- 3, A- 24
USA S2, A 18
China S2,A 14
Japan S1, A 15
Australlia S1 A12
This list is only an estimated list and those who have retired. special agents; military intelligence officers; Villains not included.]
So a small and weak girl is very lucky to find someone in the city looking for her.
While Mirai was lost in thought, the traditional Japanese sliding door opened. Mirai was afraid since a shadow under to their room. After a while, the shadow came near them and it's Akaigami. In his hand, two small packages of mochi existed, which are used to worship spirits at shrines.
"You may hungry at night, so I found it on the table while I was looking for food, so I brought it. Take it. You're a child, so you'll want to eat bread."
After that, Sensei, pretending to be unkind, left the room coldly. Yusa-Chan is already awake and she said in her low voice.
"As I said, our Kaminii-sama is the great Tsudere."
....
It is on a small island with few people. Lucan sits in a small rural internet cafe and communicates with his hero's association. Fat guy Frank sat watching people use the Internet while drinking beer.
"Can you get in touch with them? Even YouTube is banned here."
"Don't worry, we're using special VPN made by the Hero Association. Even in North Korea, we can use the Hero Association web."
"Really? I thought they didn't have superheroes."
"There is an A-rank. You haven't heard about the Pyongyang organization?"
"They are in GSH? I never known."
Lucan didn't even care about Frank's popcorn words. and continued his work. Frank pointed out a news report from the Hero Association that he saw out of the corner of his eye
"Hey...Usaki-Chan has taken down another super villain again."
"Come on... try not to disturb my work."
"Hey...you seem don't like when I said about your sister."
"She is a child born to my mother's cousin, not even a cousin for sure, far away."
After a while, Lucan's face became firm and said.
"Huh, our work isn't done yet. It's been two months since the Sakura Corporation mentioned that drug. Now, drugs with those characteristics are being found in the New York underground drug scene."
"Die, so we will need to go New York too?"
...
An old mansion.
A picture of seven sakura petals was painted on the wall. It's Yamaguchi's main house.
The first master wore a light blue hakama suit with a samurai sword attached to his waist. He was a handsome middle-aged Asian man with a sharp face. A servant wearing a kimono came into the room and, according to their tradition, he bow his head on his knees.
"First Master, Second young mistress has been found. It's on a small street in the middle of Tokyo. A man who appears to be the former hero Akaigami has taken her."
"Akaigami…that Akaigami…how long are you going to disturb my life? My sister, my wife…now my daughter…you're the one who took everything I had."
