Chapter 204: A hero is a nice job

"You don't need to sit beside me like this. I won't run away."

"Really?"

Fubuki stared at him suspiciously.

"Really. Really."

"But, just in case."

"....."

As of now, they were in the family restaurant to have dinner.

Whether Lily or Fubuki didn't have dinner as they had been tailing... no, observing Tamazuki. However, this guy ran away when they tried to stop the group of muscular people from chasing after him.

While their hearts felt indignant, fortunately, they were able to chase after him.

After all, in front of the power of the esper, everything was meaningless.

Tamazuki might have boundless potential, but the potential was just potential.

Unless someone gave him the lead, that potential wouldn't bloom.

Frankly, Fubuki was afraid that Tamazuki would accept Darkshine's tutelage as even she wasn't confident that she could do something to Darkshine.

Darkshine's rank might be lower than her sister's, but his strength was undoubted as he was the S-Class: Rank 11.

However, Rank 11 could never beat Rank 2.

Fubuki could tell that Tamazuki's body was good. It was so good that she had a nosebleed before. However, his real potential was in his esper power.

Yes, while he tried to hide it, she could tell he was an esper.

His ability to suddenly appear before her, absorb the fire and make the Molotov-like monster disappear...

Without a doubt, all of them were his esper ability.

He was young, and without a doubt, he didn't have that experience, so it was her job to educate him as he would be a member of the Blizzard Group.

Yet, if Tamazuki knew what this woman was thinking, he would roll his eyes. He had to say this woman's personality was quite heavy for him, but she was beautiful, so he decided to be patient.

Nevertheless, he thought he should be after the girl before him first.

As they were in the family restaurant, Fubuki sat on his side, trying to close his escape path.

Meanwhile, Lily was sitting on his opposite side, shyly glancing at him from time to time.

"By the way, let me introduce her. Her name is Lily. She is also a member of the Blizzard Group and also from the same school as you. She is also one year older than you, so she is your "Senpai."

Fubuki didn't see Lily's expression and just introduced them to each other.

"Hello, Lily-senpai. You can call me Inugami."

"Ye-Yes, Inugami-kun."

Fubuki nodded and felt happy with their interaction. "By the way, you must be hungry after that workout, right? Let me treat you."

"How about you become my trainee in the Blizzard Group first? Before you become a hero, you should see how a hero works. That way, you will see how wonderful this job is."

Fubuki had never given up.

Their relationship had become closer, especially when he called her with the "-nee" suffix.

She also wrapped her arm around him, shaking him as if telling him she wouldn't let him go until he agreed.

"I will teach you everything, okay? Leave it to me."

She whispered.

"........"

Tamazuki stared at Fubuki, who tried to invite him in a seductive way.

She also stared at him and didn't look away, though she blushed and looked away. She might be quite bold, but she didn't have experience with the opposite gender, as she had always been busy with becoming stronger.

"Okay? You must agree, okay? I have treated you, so you must agree!"

"...that's unfair."

"That's the way of an adult." She showed a smug expression as if she had won.

"...only once."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"That's great!" She was happy. "Now, give me your contact information, address, and everything."

"...why?"

"Why not? I am your teacher and leader now."

"As I have said before, I haven't agreed to join your group now, and if you want to contact me, you can ask Lily, right?"

"Geez, how stubborn." Fubuki rolled her eyes, then looked at Lily. "Then, Lily, I leave the rest to you."

"Eh, ah, ye-yes!" Lily was stunned, but she hurriedly agreed.

"That's great. Don't let this guy run away. You must catch him."

"I will run away if you say something out loud."

"No! Don't run away!"

As the two bickered, Lily wondered whether it was her imagination that their relationship had become closer. Though she didn't really mind as she thought she could become closer to him, she secretly made a clenched fist in an energetic manner under the table.

Yet, what she didn't know, his expression turned slightly subtle.

"Hey, did you listen to me?"

"Can I order a dessert?"

"Bastard!"
