I, Kiriko, the Cheater

……

After taking a shower, Tongzi walked out of the bathroom while wiping the towel.

The steaming water vapor diffuses from the bathroom, as if in a fairyland on earth.

When Tongzi came out of the bathroom, she saw that KING was still in a daze, as if she didn't know what she was doing, standing in the messy home.

Tongzi scratched her wet hair with a towel.

"Well, I've called, don't worry, the Heroes Association's logistics staff will come over soon, and they should make up for your loss."

Before going up to KING's apartment, Tongzi also specially checked the scene. Although the giant sea monster crazily destroyed the surrounding buildings, there was no one in those houses. Everyone went to work, so the sea monster besides causing property Other than the loss, there were no casualties.

Originally, Tongzi planned to continue preaching to KING, but her nice house was suddenly messed up.Whoever it is, probably won't be in the mood to listen anymore.

So Tongzi planned to leave first, to preach, and come back after a while.

"Please wait..."

When Tongzi turned around and everyone was almost at the entrance, KING, who had been standing silent all this time, finally spoke.

"This was destroyed by a weirdo. It's none of my business. Let me tell you first. No matter what you say, I won't compensate you."

Although with Tongzi's economic ability, not to mention just this house, even if this building is knocked down and rebuilt, it can afford it.

It's just that whether you can afford it or not, and whether you are willing to pay it are two different things.

This was caused by the sea monster's ability, so why should she pay for it?

But KING didn't listen to Tongzi's defense at all, and directly knelt down to Tongzi.

"Please accept me as your apprentice!"

"what?"

Looking at KING who suddenly knelt down, Tongzi was stunned.

Because she recalled the time when Raphtalia was taken in.

Things that I thought would gradually fade away with time, but unexpectedly, I still remember them in my heart.

Perhaps, they just stay in the corner of memory, waiting for themselves to dig it out one day.

I wonder how Raphtalia and the others are doing now...

Tongzi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Is this what sadness feels like?

In her previous life, she didn't have many friends who could truly make friends. Although she was lonely, she naturally didn't know what it meant to be sad.

If possible, I really want to see them again...

It's just that I don't even know how I came to this world, let alone how to get back.

I can only pray that we can meet again one day.

"Originally, I should confess everything to the association and the world, but I don't have the courage, so I can only find a way to become stronger and become a true hero who lives up to the expectations and trust of others, so..."

Tongzi's silence made KING mistakenly think that he wanted to tell the reason for his apprenticeship, so he continued talking on his own.

"Please be sure to accept me as an apprentice, teacher!"

Although KING's performance is very sincere, and he has "the strongest man on earth" as his apprentice, if he were any person, he would probably feel that Bel has face.

But Tongzi didn't think so.

Because she knows her situation.

It's not her modesty either, how can she be someone else's teacher?

Even her own abilities are bugs.

Let her be KING's eldest brother, drinking Bingkuo music is okay, but being a teacher is absolutely impossible.

However, when KING mentioned the teacher, Tongzi couldn't help but think of Journey to the West...the list of heroes.

In order to find KING's address, the hero roster she bought specially mentioned people who were suitable to be teachers.

"Speaking of which, King, don't you think about Silver Fang, or Atomic Warrior?"

The Silver Fangs and Atomic Samurai that Kiriko mentioned are also S-rank heroes.

The former is the third martial artist of the S rank, and the master who is good at "Flowing Water and Rock Breaking Fist". martial artist.

The latter is the fourth samurai in the S rank. It is said that his slash can smash even atoms, so he is called the "Atomic Warrior". Although the number of disciples he teaches is less than that of the silver fangs, they are also ranked A. Level 4, 2 and 3 heroes.

The profession of a teacher is not, as many people think, just passing on the knowledge in books to students according to the scriptures.

In fact, an excellent teacher can make students learn happily, indulge in the ocean of learning, and then become interested in learning itself rather than exams. Even after entering the society, they can still use the knowledge taught by the teacher to be in society. Get a foothold.

A teacher like this is definitely the type that can't be found even with a lantern.

In Tongzi's eyes, Silver Fang and Atomic Warrior belonged to such teachers.

... At least that's what it says on the list of heroes.

But even so, KING still insists on worshiping Tongzi as his teacher. In fact, Tongzi can't guess the reason why he doesn't want to find Silver Fang and Atomic Warrior.
