Chapter 192 192
"Huh? What do you mean, father?" Setsuka was confused by the reaction of her father and mother when they entered the school building.
"I feel that someone is watching us in this building." Hideo said with a solemn face.
"What!?" Setsuka was shocked, and she quickly checked her surroundings but found no one except for the students who passed by and lowered their heads when they saw Hideo and Koyuki.
"Are you sure, Father??" Setsuka asked to confirm Hideo\'s words.
"Of course, I won\'t be wrong. You can ask your mother because she must have felt it too." Hideo threw the question at his wife. Setsuka turned her eyes to her mother, and the other party nodded.
Hideo and Koyuki are one of Japan\'s strongest Realizer pairs, and their senses have been sharpened in battle, be it against monsters or humans. So they wouldn\'t go wrong when they sensed someone was watching them.
Hideo tries to find the person who is spying on him. But then he frowned because he couldn\'t find the origin of that power.
"This is weird. I couldn\'t locate that person, and I couldn\'t feel the slightest malice from him toward us. I think he\'s just keeping an eye on us for now. But I didn\'t expect that there would be such a great person in this school. I\'m sure he must have a Phantasmal Object that can be used to monitor the area around him." Hideo didn\'t let down his guard even though he didn\'t feel malicious intent from the people watching them.
Setsuka raised her eyebrows when she heard that. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Tenku. Setsuka still didn\'t know how he found Kohana so quickly. She thought what her parents felt now had something to do with Tenku\'s abilities, but that was her guess, and she didn\'t overthink it.
"Alright. We don\'t need to think about that problem. That person doesn\'t seem like he\'s going to do anything to us. So we better hurry to Kohana\'s place." Koyuki urged Setsuka because she was worried about Kohana\'s condition. She felt that the person watching over them would do nothing for now. If that person dared to act, it would be tantamount to suicide because he attacked one of the strongest Realizers in Japan.
"I understand." Setsuka nodded and led her parents toward the infirmary. The students in the school corridor bowed their heads when they saw Koyuki and Hideo. Most of them knew these two as the strongest Realizers in Japan.
It didn\'t take long for Setsuka and her parents to reach their destination. They went inside the infirmary and headed to Kohana\'s bed. Setsuka saw that several injured students were also being treated at that place. So the infirmary became much busier than when she left Kohana. The students were shocked when they saw Hideo and Koyuki because they knew both. They quickly gave their greeting, and Setsuka\'s parents returned it with a slight nod.
"Father! Mother! Big sister!" Kohana notices the appearance of her family and screams with joy. She spoke with her mouth full of apple slices.
"Are you all right, Kohana?" Koyuki asked with concern.
"Yes! I\'m fine! Big Brother saved me and gave me first aid when I was injured! So now my condition has gotten better!" Kohana replied excitedly.
"Is that so? Where is the big brother now? I have to thank him for saving you." Koyuki felt her little daughter was happy when she talked about the person who saved her. On top of that, Kohana called out his name intimately. It made Koyuki want to see that person.
"He\'s there... eh? Where is he going?" Kohana pointed at the table by the window but was confused because Tenku had disappeared. Koyuki and Hideo followed the little girl\'s direction but saw no one there.
"Are you sure he\'s there? We saw no one in the place when we entered the infirmary." Koyuki sat on Kohana\'s bed and stroked her head.
"I\'m sure! He peeled and cut this apple for me! You can see the apples on the table if you don\'t believe it. Wasn\'t it already peeled in half?" Kohana pointed at the apples on the plate. Hideo walked closer to the place and looked out of the window.
"He might still have been here moments ago but quickly left this place after we arrived. He might have important business to attend to or knew we were coming and deliberately avoided us." Hideo spoke.
"You overthink, Father. I did tell him that the two of you will be coming, but he doesn\'t know when you will arrive at this school. So how could he find out? Besides, why is he avoiding you? I\'m sure he left in a hurry because he had important business. Thus, he didn\'t have time to say goodbye to Kohana." Setsuka replied.
Now she was sure that the person watching her parents when they entered the building was Tenku. But Setsuka was sure that he didn\'t do it with malicious intent. She knew Tenku didn\'t want others to find out about his strength.
If he met Hideo and Koyuki, the two of them might notice that Tenku was no ordinary student. In other words, Tenku had to avoid Setsuka\'s parents to hide his power. He might get into unnecessary trouble if Hideo found out about his secret.
Because of that, Setsuka had to help Tenku and try not to let his parents suspect him. Although she feels guilty for lying to her father and mother, at least she has to do that for the people she loves and the savior of her little sister.
"Yes, you\'re right. I might be over-sensitive because of the incident in school. After all, this matter relates to the two of you." Hideo nodded and didn\'t think more about Tenku.
"We can still meet him later. Isn\'t that right, Kohana?" Koyuki pinched Kohana\'s cheek gently.
She is Setsuka\'s mother. She knew that Setsuka was hiding something from them. But Koyuki didn\'t want to force her to say it if she didn\'t want to. So she tried to help Setsuka and distracted their conversation.
"Un! Big Brother is indeed very busy! Apart from going to school, he also has to sell crispy tofu. The food he makes is delicious, and I love it so much! On top of that, he also does small missions for his organization!" Kohana nodded vigorously.
"Ooh, you seem to know him very well." Koyuki grinned when she saw Kohana\'s cute face.
"Of course, I know him very well! He saved me when I was about to get hit by a truck!" Kohana quickly responded. She never loses the big smile on her face when she talks about Tenku.
"Huh? Is that true?" Koyuki turned her eyes to Setsuka.
"ah, that\'s right. I forgot to tell you that. The student who had helped Kohana right now was the same person who had saved her in the past." Setsuka replied.
"What\'s that student\'s name?" Koyuki gave another question. She becomes curious about the person who saved Kohana. Koyuki could feel that not only her little daughter but Setsuka was also very close to that person. She noticed that Setsuka\'s tone and expression changed when talking about Tenku.
"His name is Tenku Okuihara." Setsuka answered honestly.
"Tenku Okuihara... You can ask him to come to the house when he has free time. Your father and I would like to thank him in person." Koyuki smiled and said softly. She wanted to meet the person named Tenku in her daughter\'s story.
Koyuki was sure the student wasn\'t a member of Japan\'s five strongest Realizer groups, but that didn\'t matter to her. Tenku had saved Kohana, and the closeness with her two daughters seemed unusual. Koyuki wants to find out firsthand what kind of person Tenku is. Unfortunately, she couldn\'t do it today as she and her husband still had other matters.
"In that case, we will go to the principal\'s office now to discuss this matter with Mr. Benjiro. You accompany your sister here for a while. After that, we will go home together." Hideo said to Setsuka.
"I understand, Father." Setsuka replied curtly.
"Let\'s go to the principal\'s office." Hideo glanced at Koyuki, and the other side nodded. Afterward, the two of them left the infirmary.
Meanwhile, Benjiro and the Realizers from the organization gathered at the principal\'s office. They talk about the incident that happened at Suisei High School. Apart from Benjiro, there were only three representatives from each Japanese Realizer organization.
Daisuke Okamoto from Holy Union, Satoshi Matsubara from Belial Alliance and Ichiro Noguchi from League of Heroes. The last realizer is the one who met Tenku and Setsuka at Lake Motosu. He arrives late at Suisei High School and doesn\'t meet Setsuka.
If Ichiro comes at the same time as Daisuke and the others, he will find out that Setsuka is the daughter of the current head of Fuyushima Temple.
"So that\'s what happened in this school." Benjiro finished explaining about the monster invasion at Suisei High School. His condition already looks better because he has received treatment and drank potions. His almost severed hand was bandaged and needed several days to heal fully.
"I see. Do you have any clues about this incident?" Daisuke asked with a serious face.
"You don\'t need a clue. I\'m sure the culprit is a member of the Ghost Nebula organization. the rats have become more and more active recently." The one who spoke was Ichiro.
Daisuke was displeased when he heard that. He was talking to Benjiro, but the guy suddenly interrupted him. But before he could say anything, Benjiro opened his mouth first.
"I still don\'t have a clue about this matter. But I know someone who does. I\'ve asked one of the teachers to call her to this place." Benjiro looked at Daisuke and replied.
"That\'s good! I want to know the person who has dared to wreak havoc by sending monsters to this school!" Satoshi retorted and clenched his fists tightly. He seems to hate the people from that terrorist organization.
They heard a knock on the door not long after, followed by a middle-aged man\'s voice. Everyone in the room recognized it because the person who spoke was Hideo Fuyushima.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"May we come in?" Hideo said from behind the door.
"Please come in, Hideo." Benjiro quickly replied.
Hideo opened the door and entered the office along with Koyuki. The three representatives from the organization stood up and greeted the two. Hideo and Koyuki looked at them and nodded in response.
"Did I interrupt your conversation?" Hideo looked at Benjiro and asked.
"No, you two don\'t interrupt our conversation. We haven\'t gotten to the heart of our problem. We are still waiting for someone. So please take a seat first." Benjiro smiled and asked the two people to sit on a chair not far from him.
"Thank You." Koyuki and Hideo said simultaneously and sat. After they settled into their seats, another knock sounded on the door.
"May I come in, principal?" a girl\'s sweet voice sounded from outside the room.
"Please come in." Benjiro answered briefly, and the door opened. The one who came was the idol who entertained the students and visitors at the cultural festival at Suisei High School, Kirika Miyazaki.
