Pisco?

Hoshino Aoi's eyes narrowed slightly.

As a character that has appeared in anime, although the man in front of her has not yet turned completely white in hair, and when characters in the two-dimensional world appear in the three-dimensional world, there will be some differences in appearance, but Hoshino Aoi still guessed the other person's identity.

But why did he come to their school?

Unless...

Thinking of that possibility, Hoshino Aoi's fingertips trembled for a moment.

"You are Xiaokui, right?"

The man in the car didn't wait for her to get closer before speaking. Instead, he got out of the car as soon as he noticed she was walking towards him.

"I am Kenzo Masuyama, and I will be your father in the future. If you wish, you can call me father. Of course, if you don't wish, you can also call me Mr. Masuyama."

Kenzo Masuyama knew Aoi Hoshino.

After all, when the other party was just adopted by Shinji Hoshino, he received harassing phone calls from Shinji Hoshino.

At that time, he had no idea that he would become her new father one day.

He didn't even know if he could be a good father to Hoshino Aoi with the example of Shinji Hoshino.

After all, the task assigned to him by the organization was to take good care of Hoshino Aoi as much as possible and not let others think that he had shed blood and sacrificed for the organization, and as a result, after his death, his family still could not be taken care of by the organization.

If that is the case, then who will continue to work for the organization?

In addition, the death of Shinji Hoshino can also be regarded as due to Rum's wrong decision-making, which led to his death.

So the boss gave him a very clear order, asking him to take good care of Hoshino Shinji's daughter as much as possible.

Of course, those who need to be trained will definitely be trained. The educational method that Shinji Hoshino used before, which allowed them to grow wildly, is obviously unrealistic for the organization.

But both the boss and Rum have already made up their minds that if there is really no problem with the investigation against Shinji Hoshino, then even if she is a fool, they will not just throw her into the research institute as an experimental subject.

For them, they felt that this was already giving face to Shinji Hoshino.

Kenzo Masuyama and Aoi Hoshino also vaguely guessed something, so at his initiative to show goodwill, Aoi Hoshino was not surprised at all, but instead followed his words and continued to act.

"Father...Father?"

She looked a little surprised, but there was a hint of panic in her eyes, as if she had sensed something ominous from his words. Kenzo Masuyama even saw her body sway.

"Then...what about my dad?"

If I'm going to call you dad, then what about my dad?

Where is he?

Aoi Hoshino's eyes were full of tension.

Especially when she met his eyes that were filled with hidden sadness, she seemed to be unable to hold back her emotions at all, and she covered her eyes with her hands.

From Kenzo Masuyama's perspective, he could only see two lines of clear tears flowing down her cheeks, slowly to her chin, and then slowly falling down drop by drop.

Kenzo Masuyama didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, her identity is different from others.

She was not his subordinate, nor was she someone who could be scolded at will.

She is his daughter.

Although this was their first meeting, before this, he had only heard of her existence from Shinji Hoshino, and she had never heard of him.

So there is absolutely no question of agreeing or disagreeing.

But under the organization's arrangement, even if she doesn't agree with him, she must be his daughter.

Even he felt a little overwhelmed when faced with such a crying girl.

Fortunately, Hoshino Aoi didn't cry for too long.

"My dad...my dad, how...how..."

As if she couldn't face this fact at all, Hoshino Aoi couldn't even utter that word smoothly.

However, the fact that she stopped crying already made Masuyama Kenzo feel relieved. So, in response to her vulnerability, he silently crossed out some of her training in his mind. He said nothing on the surface, but only whispered:

"I'm sorry, I'm not very clear about the specific circumstances. I only know that your father entrusted you to me before he died."

After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips. Seeing that Hoshino Aoi seemed to have calmed down a little, he continued:

"Don't worry, your father died for the organization, so that gentleman specifically told me to take good care of you. If you really don't want to call me father, I won't force you. But for your own good, I suggest that you call me father in public."

Having said that, he curled the corners of his lips towards her, and with his current expression, he looked particularly kind:

"You probably don't know, but I'm quite famous in the financial world. So as my daughter, even if it's just in name only, you'll attract quite a bit of attention. If you were to call me Mr. Masuyama, it would be somewhat troublesome. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be in the headlines for something like this, would you?"

Seeing Hoshino Aoi nodded obediently, Masuyama Kenzo also smiled with satisfaction:

"Come to think of it, I have a brother at home who's about your age. He called me right after hearing he was going to have a sister. If it weren't for the difficulty in getting leave from school, he'd probably have flown back by now."

When talking about his adopted son, the smile in Masuyama Kenzo's eyes became more genuine. After seeing the hint of uneasiness in Hoshino Aoi's eyes, he even felt like comforting her.

"But you don't have to worry too much. Although he looks a little fierce and seems to have a bad temper, he's actually very thoughtful. Even in the organization, he's considered one of the smartest people. So he's naturally clear about that gentleman's intentions, and it's even more unlikely that he has any dissatisfaction with you."

Hearing this, Hoshino Aoi finally breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to ask them when they would go back to pack their luggage.

"Someone will come and pick up those things."

Seeing that her emotions had finally calmed down completely, Kenzo Masuyama also breathed a sigh of relief. Then he remembered that he still had something to give her.

"By the way, these are some of your father's personal belongings. I can give them to you now. No matter what, they are still a memory."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a scratched cell phone, a bunch of keys and a wallet.

These three things are all the proof that Shinji Hoshino really existed.
