Watching Masashi leave the dojo, Ogata asked, “Rumi, you seem close with Masashi. Is he a relative of yours?”“No, Senpai is someone very important to me, and also my lifelong goal.”“What?

"Chang'an, did you inform Master about this?""I just told him," Chang'an replied, sipping his tea slowly."That bastard Donald King dared to have people watch us. Just wait until I get back and deal with him. Right now, Master wants to live a simple life, so we’ll have to be careful if we meet him.

Watching Kazumi’s back as she left, Masashi showed a warm smile. Since that day, Kazumi had grown increasingly attached to him. Her expressions had become more lively, and she would occasionally joke or act playful—though only in front of him. To others, she still appeared as cold as ever.

You look familiar,” he muttered.Masashi smirked internally—what a father indeed, so drunk he couldn’t even recognize his own son.“Don’t you remember? I just bought you a drink at the bar,”…
