Achoo!
Inside the pitch-black room, Ju Huang knelt on the hard, cold floor. He suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose.
After being taken home by Uncle Watanabe, he was told to kneel in the meditation room without even seeing his father. He is still wearing thin pajamas and hasn't even had a drop of water.
However, rather than speculating whether he had a cold, he preferred to believe that it was definitely Willy thinking of him.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, he quietly moved his numb foot, but before he could even rub his aching knee, the sliding wooden door suddenly opened, and a tall, familiar figure appeared.
Ju Huang opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she was interrupted.
"Shut up, I didn't give you permission to move."
"..."
Immediately afterwards, a thin iron rod struck him hard on the back, causing a muffled groan. The force made him instinctively lean forward, but he managed to stop himself thanks to his excellent balance.
Juhuang knew that if she really fell, this guy in front of her would not show any mercy. Right now it was only on her back, but the next second he might hit her soft abdomen.
The man didn't speak, and the attacks rained down like a deluge. Ju Huang bit her lip tightly, suppressing the urge to cry out in pain and resist, and silently lowered her head.
After an unknown amount of time, his body swayed twice. Under the glaring light, a few physiological tears clung to his eyelashes, but his back remained straight.
"alright."
Only after hearing the man's announcement did Ju Huang finally let her body collapse to the ground with a thud, then roughly wipe her eyes.
Fortunately, the old man cared a lot about his reputation and didn't embarrass himself.
Tachibana Yu's face was dark and gloomy. He looked down at his good-for-nothing son and snorted coldly.
Do you know why I hit you?
Who knows if you're going through menopause?
Ju Huang really wanted to say something assertive, but he only dared to think it to himself, while on the surface he still maintained a meek and submissive demeanor.
"I know. It's because I caused trouble at the academy and embarrassed you."
Tachibana Yu snorted coldly and shook his head, saying:
"It's not embarrassing me, it's embarrassing Hanabishi."
"yes."
Juhuang remained kneeling, then straightened up and answered in a low voice.
"Anything else?"
"..."
Seeing his dazed look, Tachibana Yu felt annoyed and kicked him, leaving a clear shoe print on his black pajamas.
Ju Huang swayed a couple of times, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the gleaming iron rod. He quickly braced himself with his hands to avoid the old man's displeasure.
Seeing Tachibana Yu impatiently tapping the ground with the bottom of his stick, his mind raced, and suddenly an idea flashed through his head. He licked his lips and spoke:
"I shouldn't let unrelated people affect my emotions."
"...That is one of the reasons."
"Not too stupid."
Tachibana Yu lowered his eyes and stared at him for a few seconds before finally throwing the iron rod aside.
Then, he sat cross-legged on the ground, facing Ju Huang directly.
Looking at his son, who was already taller than him and was kneeling in front of him, he reached out and patted Juhuang's broad shoulder. The latter followed his gesture and bent down slightly, placing his hands on his thighs to listen to his father's teachings.
"I watched the surveillance video that Tianhai sent me."
"..."
Mr. Tenkai, you've ruined me!
As a long-established high school, the Strange Tales Academy does not refuse to keep up with the times. The school uses the most advanced surveillance facilities, which can clearly hear not only facial expressions, but also the voices of people.
"Asami Miri...is that the person you like?"
Tachibana no Ou wasn't surprised that her father knew about this. Although Uncle Watanabe and the others wouldn't report such trivial matters to the boss, they would never hide it from Tachibana no Yu if he asked.
"Um."
When discussing this topic with her father, Ju Huang felt unusually embarrassed. The tips of her ears under her orange hair turned slightly red, and her face also flushed.
On the surface, Tachibana Yu remained calm, but inwardly he was amazed. He subtly moved his hand hidden in his sleeve and made a gesture.
Mirror, it's up to you. You absolutely have to record this scene.
Although the mirror was a spirit contracted by Tachibana no Ou, Tachibana no Ou was also quite familiar with it, so this small request was naturally not refused.
Ju Huang was completely unaware of this. He reached out and scratched the back of his fluffy head, then suddenly remembered something, leaned forward, and abruptly looked up:
"The Asami family is quite ordinary. Father, you wouldn't do anything to break up this couple, would you?!"
Tachibana no Yu was secretly communicating with Kagami when he was suddenly startled by Tachibana no O's actions.
Bang!
Two equally orange heads collided.
"Aww!"
Ju Huang covered her forehead and rolled on the ground.
Tachibana Yu looked as dignified as before, but his body was trembling slightly and his hands were clenched into fists.
Even so, he did not forget to instruct Jing.
"Delete that scene!"
After a long while, Ju Huang finally recovered. He rubbed his forehead and secretly looked up at Ju Yexiong, who remained as still as a mountain, his eyes sparkling.
"As expected of Dad!"
"..."
The serious atmosphere that had just been created vanished, and Tachibana Yu relaxed, unable to suppress the upward curve of his lips.
"You're still far from being as good as me."
"Ahem." He cleared his throat, remembering the main point. "I have no interest in interfering in your love life."
To be honest, he always thought his son was missing a screw in his head.
Compared to her peers, Ju Huang was more interested in powerful evening masters or demons. She had been beaten countless times when she was a child before she finally learned not to provoke those whose strength was far inferior to her own.
Forget about liking anyone, he doesn't even have many friends his own age.
But given his personality, it's truly baffling that those young lads in the Hanabishi Club idolize him so much, even more than their boss. What are these young people thinking these days?
Tachibana Yu had already prepared himself for his son to grow old alone, but he never expected that his son would give him such a surprise at this time.
However, the necessary criticism is still necessary.
"Since you like him, you naturally have the responsibility to protect the person you love, and you've done a great job in that regard."
Hidden inside the house, Kagami glanced silently at Tachibana Yu.
To suppress, first praise.
Just looking at the smug Orange Phoenix, he realized that he, the "master" of the contract, was completely unaware of this.
...Every day I regret that I must have been blinded by his strength when I made the contract back then, and failed to see his true nature.
If it's going to show you, you'd better find a way out sooner rather than later.
Yesterday's Yumi-shi, named Asami Miri, was quite good... She was good-looking and intelligent, and more importantly, while these foolish humans might not be able to see it, she could sense the immense power within the young man.
If he is willing—
He will stand at the top of this world.
