Chapter 26

Shuji Tsushima rested at home for two days, enjoyed the leisurely life, and then put on his schoolbag and went to school again.

As soon as he entered the classroom, he heard the monitor calling him, "It's Tsushima-kun, how are you?"

"Nothing." Tsushima Shuji shook his head, put his schoolbag on his seat, looked at the classmates who were gathered together and talking about something, and asked casually, "What are you talking about?"

"The homeroom teacher is planning to organize us to go on an outing in two days," the class monitor waved the registration form in his hand, "I'm counting the number of people who plan to go. Tsushima-kun, are you coming?"

"Outing?"

Tsushima Shuji blinked and was about to refuse without thinking.

The monitor then added: "You can also bring your parents along, but who would bring their parents along? You still need to be controlled by your parents when you go out to play."

Tsushima Shuji swallowed the word "no" and said, "I'll go."

"Oh ok, I'll add your name."

"Take your parents with you."

Monitor: "Okay - cough what?"

Tsushima Shuji stopped talking and quietly packed his books, thinking that Mr. Amamiya has been busy with work since he returned to Tokyo, so why not go out for a walk with him.

The thought of going on an outing made Tsushima Shuji feel very happy, but his good mood only lasted until school was over.

"Shuji."

As soon as he walked out of the school gate, a voice called him.

Tsushima Shuji paused and looked back, then he saw a young man in a suit standing on the side of the road, looking at him with a puzzled expression. His features were somewhat similar to his. The boy thought for a moment before he remembered who the person in front of him was.

Seeing that Tsushima Shuji was silent, the other party frowned slightly and said, "Why, you don't say hello to my second brother when you see him?"

Tsushima Shuji slowly said, "Second brother."

But his expression didn't look like he had just seen his family - he had never been close to his family and usually saw his father less than once a month. He had only spent more time with his two brothers when they were younger and had little memory of them. After they entered politics, he no longer saw them, just like his father, and even their faces had become particularly unfamiliar to him.

"Why are you here?" Tsushima Shuji called out, his expression becoming even colder. "Are you in Tokyo on a business trip?"

The young man suddenly laughed out loud: "In your eyes, we have to work wherever we go?"

Tsushima Shuji immediately asked back: "Isn't it?"

Although he is the older brother, there is a nine-year age difference between him and the second older brother, and an eleven-year age difference between him and the oldest brother. By the time he could remember, the man in front of him no longer looked like an older brother. Even when I took him out for a stroll a long time ago, he would always receive calls from work. It seemed more like I was just completing a task of taking a child out for a walk than taking him out to play.

"Okay," the young man shrugged, "I did come to Tokyo on a business trip, but now that I'm done with work, I came to the school specifically to see you."

Tsushima Shuji's tone was cold and hard: "What's the matter?"

"Is it impossible for me to come visit you if I have nothing else to do? I heard that you left the Tsushima family and boarded the ship of the Special Powers Division."

The young man took a glance at Tsushima Shuji's attire and said, "You look a bit like a ten-year-old now, which is good."

It was unclear whether he was congratulating him or mocking him.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go home first," Tsushima Shuji said, "You can see that I'm doing very well. Bye."

"Do you live in Mr. Amamiya's house?" The young man asked. Although it was a question, his tone was quite affirmative. "It's really hard for you to impress a superpower and let him take you away from the vortex of the Tsushima family and protect you all the time. You are quite capable. I admire you very much."

Tsushima Shuji frowned impatiently: "Sir, of course it's good, what do you want to say?"

"You have the blood of the Tsushima family, and who are you pretending to be?" The young man sneered, "If Mr. Amamiya finds out, do you think he will still take care of you and treat you like a child?"

"I will not lie to Mr., nor will I do anything to harm him. Moreover, I am only ten years old, still a child."

Tsushima Shuji said coldly: "If that's all you want to say, I don't want to listen."

The boy turned and was about to leave.

"——Kukiko wants to see you." said the young man.

"There's nothing good between her and me." Both of his meetings with Kukiko were not pleasant, one when he was kidnapped, and the other when he escaped with the book. Even if Kukiko had something else to say to him, he felt that there was nothing good to say between them.

Since we are on different sides, just be an enemy.

"I'm just helping her convey her message. It's none of my business whether you see it or not."

The young man casually said, "She will be waiting for you at the coffee shop at the entrance of your school tomorrow. If you don't want to see her, you can leave early or ask for leave."

"I don't think you should be irresponsible with your studies just to avoid seeing someone."

"Isn't going to school just a task for you?"

Tsushima Shuji didn't want to pay any more attention to the person in front of him, so he walked away without even looking at him.

The young man narrowed his eyes, looked at the boy's back, shook his head helplessly, and left.

Tsushima Shuji had a depressed face. When he got home, he put his schoolbag on the table, threw himself on the sofa, and hugged his pillow in a depressed mood.

Amemiya Ruisei had not returned from get off work yet, and he was the only one in the room. As it gradually darkened, he did not get up to turn on the light. His pair of iris-colored eyes looked even more gloomy in the dim environment.

He really didn't want to see anyone from the Tsushima family, and didn't want to see the guys he used to know.

Although the other party congratulated him on escaping from the vortex of the Tsushima family, Tsushima Shuji knew that he was still in the vortex, but he had an extra layer of protection and some new acquaintances.

His connection with the Tsushima family has not been severed, and has even become closer. His last name is still Tsushima, and his agreement with the Special Powers Division also includes the need to do things for the Tsushima family when necessary. These people are still haunting him, causing him to be just a flying kite that will be retrieved as long as the string is tied.

Moreover, the Tsushima family must have noticed something and knew that he had what they needed, which is why he was taken seriously by the Special Powers Division.

Shuji Tsushima buried his face in the pillow, pinching his fingers hard, his knuckles digging into the soft pillow. He gritted his teeth, a little angry.

He should have a new life. He has a new guardian, Mr. Amamiya is still his teacher, Ango Sakaguchi is a bit annoying but he is still a friend, and Officer Taneda is like an elder.

But he wants to completely break away from the past, and what he has now is far from enough, which makes Tsushima Shuji particularly annoyed.

He is still young, he needs to be patient, he needs to be patient - ahhh, I really want to beat up those bad guys who deserve a beating, why does his last name is Tsushima!

Shuji Tsushima angrily punched the pillow a few times to vent his anger.

"What are you doing? Why are you hammering your pillow all of a sudden?" Amamiya Reizo just opened the door and saw Tsushima Shuji hammering his pillow in anger. He blinked in confusion and turned on the light in the living room. "Did something unhappy happen to you?"

Tsushima Shuji raised his hand but it stopped in mid-air, and he put it down as if nothing had happened: "Sir, welcome back."

Amamiya tilted his head and asked again, "Did something unhappy happen to you? Can you tell me about it?"

The boy lost his temper under the young man's gaze and said sullenly, "I met someone from the Tsushima family."

"who?"

"…I think he's my second brother. He said Kukiko will come to see me tomorrow."

"Is that so?" Amamiya Reizo thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to see me, then don't see me. If you insist, Kukiko is also a superpower of the enemy force. I'll have someone follow you and pick you up after school."

"No need," Tsushima Shuji shook his head, "I plan to see her one last time."

Amamiya Rui understood and walked over to sit next to Tsushima Shuji: "So you don't want to see your brother?"

"Um."

Tsushima Shuji responded.

"I have nothing to say to them," the boy said. "They and the head of the Tsushima family are all the same. They are all adults and have grown into the kind of people I hate."

"They all have a nasty face."

Tsushima Shuji said, "My second brother and I are only nine years apart in age. I don't know what my father wants me to do after such a long time. If it was an accident, it would be fine if I just had an abortion. I wouldn't have to be born without a mother."

Mrs. Tsushima died after giving birth. Shuji Tsushima had never met his mother, so there were only a few possibilities. It was probably because she became seriously ill due to giving birth at an advanced age.

"They look more like their father, and I look more like my mother. Apart from our similar eyebrows and eyes, when we stand together and cover our eyes, we don't even look like a pair of brothers."

Tsushima Shuji was unhappy: "I wish I could stop seeing them."

Unfortunately, unless Tsushima Shuji's identity disappears, he will still meet them. Tsushima Shuji's current ability is not enough for the Special Forces Department to fabricate an identity for him out of thin air. These identities are not easy to manage, and the Special Forces Department has limited capabilities, so they are usually used for undercover agents.

Amamiya Ruisei also understood this and could only sigh helplessly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things," Tsushima Shuji said to Amamiya Ruisei after he disdained the Tsushima family. "The class is going to go on an outing in two days. Parents can go with us. Do you have time to go with me, sir?"

Amamiya Raisei met Tsushima Shuji's sparkling eyes and couldn't say no, or maybe he had never been able to refuse a boy's request, so he nodded: "Okay, no problem."

"If it's only one day, the timing might be a little difficult."

Amamiya Reizo recalled his work: "There is an important mission starting in the afternoon in two days, so I can only be with you in the morning."

Tsushima Shuji said "Oh", feeling a little disappointed, but it was only for one morning, or rather...

"Can I also take part in the mission? Even if it's just to do some odd jobs."

The boy grabbed the corner of Amamiya Rei's clothes and looked at him expectantly: "I haven't participated in your work yet, sir. After all, I am now an intern of the Special Ability Department."

The agreement states that he would be needed to help with some tasks occasionally, so if that's the case, why not just take the initiative and ask to go with Mr. Amamiya!

Tsushima Shuji shook Amamiya Rei's arm: "Is it okay, sir?"

Amamiya Reizo uttered a sound: "I, I'll ask Chief Farming Officer first..."
