Around 8 a.m., Aikura Ai was on the subway heading to school, as usual.Aikura Ai was an ordinary girl. Her grades were slightly above average, her athletic abilities neither outstanding nor poor, and her style was nothing particularly remarkable. Although older people often told her she was very pretty, no boy had ever confessed to her. Maybe it had something to do with her overly introverted personality, she thought. Though she didn't care much about these things, she still felt a slight pang of regret.If…-

But where could he find this information? Masashi thought. Normally, he could have just called Sakurai Mion, who was responsible for the legitimate business dealings, and this problem would be solved immediately.

Near their new home, there’s an entrance to the subway, so Masashi, Kazumi, and Nagakawa Rumi switched to commuting to school by subway. Notably, to take care of the ditzy young girl, Masashi suggested that Rumi move in with them. With Rumiko’s silent consent, Rumi joyfully moved into Masashi’s new place. To avoid complications, Masashi advised Rumi to tell anyone who asked that Rumiko was a distant relative temporarily staying there. Although the explanation was a bit flimsy and late, it was better…

"You think this is an amusement park? What if you accidentally get Black Dragon killed? I'll deal with you later for this. When did you arrive?""Just got off the plane. It's been a long time since I got to participate in some killing and arson with you, Master. Now that you're finally up for a big operation, of course, I had to come." Lei Li replied confidently."You war-mongering maniac. How many conflicts in this world have been caused by people like you?" Masashi shot him a glare."Master, don't blame me.…

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. But this was already a good start, and he believed that one day, she would open up like a normal girl, laughing freely."Oh, it seems you and your sister have a close relationship," said a voice from beside Masashi as…

“Little girl, what are you doing here?”“It’s been a long time. How have you been? Hey, why are you silent?”The young man was a little puzzled as he watched the girl turn and walk away without a word.“Your name is Murashima, right? What’s going on with that girl?”Murashima glanced at him but didn’t speak. She simply followed the girl silently.“Hey, Kazumi, Rumi, you two go ahead. I’ll check on this little girl,” the young man said and quickly jogged a few steps forward.“Rumi,…

When Masashi arrived at Aiko’s apartment on his motorcycle, he saw her three friends anxiously waiting by the door. As soon as they spotted him, they immediately surrounded him.“Have you called the police?” Masashi asked.“We did, but they said they can only start an investigation if she’s been missing for over 24 hours. They just told us to wait,” Murashima Mami said angrily.“Have you informed Aiko’s family?”“No, because we don’t know her parents’ contact information.”Masashi…

After lunch, Masashi escorted the girls back to school.Before he left, Aiko unconsciously tugged on his sleeve, "Can you come to my house tonight?""There's no need to worry; everything is fine now. Didn't Murashima say she'd stay with you these next few days? If anything happens, just call me, and I'll come right away," Masashi reassured her with a pat on the shoulder."Okay," Aiko replied, though her face revealed an unmistakable disappointment.Seeing her look so forlorn, Masashi chuckled to himself and…

As Masashi approached his home, he noticed a middle-aged man standing by the door, glancing around.Is he a salesman? he wondered. But as the man’s face came into view, a different term surfaced in Masashi’s mind.“Is that... Father?” He hadn’t used that term in centuries, and it felt awkward to say.“Masashi, it’s you! You’re finally back,” said Hirota Katsutoshi, his face lighting up with a mix of surprise and relief.“When did you get here?”“This morning. I knocked, but no one was…

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? You… you’re pursuing him?” Ogata was so shocked he nearly dropped his jaw.Kazumi, standing nearby, couldn’t help but laugh; only she knew what Rumi truly meant by “goal.” But Rumi had no idea how much misunderstanding this could cause.“Yes.” Although Rumi felt the wording was a bit odd, she…
