Back at home in Kanagawa, as soon as Rukawa Sakura entered the door, the kitten Lolo flew into her arms.
What an intelligent cat … Rukawa Sakura stroked the kitten's head and sighed silently.
"Lolo, are you okay?
Brother didn't bully you, right? "
"Meow —" I don't think so … After all, this is cat language, forget about it … She didn't even understand Haitang's snake language — after all, it was spoken by humans.
"I'll get you something to eat, come on."
"Meow, meow —" The kitten was very happy.
Sure enough, without Kaede Rukawa, the relationship between humans and cats seemed to be more harmonious!
Big brother of the Rukawa family, you are indeed superfluous!
Or in other words, you are actually a freeloader!
Even cats are more useful than you, at least they know how to please their owners.
Rukawa Sakura took Lolo for a walk in the park.
"Lolo, don't run around." Rukawa Sakura looked at the kitten at her feet.
Lolo was very lively and obviously in a good mood. Rather than a cat, Rukawa Sakura felt that it was more like a puppy.
So, while others were walking dogs, she was walking the cat here.
"Meow, meow, meow —" Lolo ran energetically after an empty can.
"Lolo —"
"Meow —" Lolo's small body was caught by someone.
A group of burly men, about the age of high school students, some of them were wearing black uniforms. It wasn't difficult to recognize them, but they looked much older because they were dressed like delinquents. Many of them had strange hairstyles and cigarettes in their mouths.
"Bah!
A kitten! "The tall man who caught Lolo said disdainfully.
"Haha!
Tetsuo!
Even cats dare to mess with you these days! "
"Tetsuo -dage, you can't do it!"
The surrounding companions began to jeer.
Rukawa Sakura hurriedly ran over, "In comparison!
This is my cat, I'm really sorry.
Please … let it go, okay? "
Thus, the group of delinquents sized up the girl in front of them.
"Tsk!
Tsk!
It's a little beauty! "
"Are you still studying, little girl?
What's his name? "
"Big Brother Tetsuo, you're in luck today. A beauty actually came knocking on your door."
"Play with us and we'll return the little thing to you. How about that?"
Rukawa Sakura straightened her face. "Please let go of my cat." She said word by word without fear.
"Yo ~ You're quite brave!"
"The little girl is quite brave."
Rukawa Sakura looked straight at the crowd, staring at them coldly, not backing down in the slightest.
His gaze was so sharp and cold that it made the group of men feel a little uncomfortable.
"Tetsuo!"
A long-haired young man walked up from behind the group of people. "Let's go. Don't make things difficult for a little girl here. It's meaningless."
Tetsuo threw the kitten away.
"Lolo!" Rukawa Sakura hurriedly picked up the kitten that had been thrown on the ground and looked at the group of people.
If she wasn't mistaken and didn't remember wrongly —
"Big Brother Mitsui!"
The black-haired young man stopped in his tracks.
"Big Brother Mitsui!"
Rukawa Sakura walked in front of him, looking straight into his eyes, and said with certainty, "It's definitely you, Big Brother Mitsui."
Mitsui frowned.
"I'm Sakura, do you still remember?
I used to watch you play basketball when we were young. You said that you wanted to be the best shooter. I used to be the one who didn't touch the three points when I was shooting.
I also said that my brother would definitely surpass you in the future. "
"Sakura?" Mitsui remembered the little girl who was four years younger than him.
At that time, she quietly watched him practice alone outside the basketball court. She was young, but she always had a gentle smile. She would clap for him from time to time and sweetly call him "Big Brother Mitsui." She was a very likable little girl.
She was also very smart and good at cooking. She brought him a lot of food to eat.
She and her brother were the only two people in the family. She was a very capable and independent little girl.
"That's me." Rukawa Sakura smiled.
"Ah, little girl, you've changed eighteen times. You're very beautiful now." Mitsui reached out his hand and patted Rukawa Sakura's head.
The people around them looked at each other.
"Mitsui, you know this little girl?" Tetsuo asked.
His attitude became slightly better.
"Ah, don't worry about it.
Also, you're not allowed to bully her in the future. "
Rukawa Sakura calmly retorted, "It's not certain who's the one bullying who. If Brother Mitsui didn't come, I might have beaten them to the ground."
"Huh?!
Little girl, you're very arrogant! "
"It's because of Mitsui that we let you go, okay?"
"Little girl, do you have any eyesight?
You want to beat us to the ground?!
Do you think it's our first day out?! "
"Have you gone mad?
These days, all of you are so arrogant at such a young age. You're just a little girl and we're a group of men. How dare you say that! "
"Exactly!
If it weren't for the fact that I don't hit women, you'd be done for! "
"Enough!"
Mitsui shouted, "She's really good at fighting. You might get hurt if you're not careful.
Why are you being so calculative with a little girl?
No one is allowed to touch her in the future! "
Everyone was shocked by Mitsui's words and remained silent.
Rukawa Sakura looked at everyone's disdainful and unwilling expression and said calmly, "Hey, you guys are out in the world. Don't tell me you haven't heard of the name 'Sky Tendo'?"
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what she was going to say.
"I know. Old Master Tendo is very famous in both the legal and illegal worlds," Tetsuo said. "What do you want to say?"
"Rukawa Tendo is said to be a master of the three Daos. When he was young, he did things that shocked both the legal and illegal worlds, but now he's just a lonely old man.
But unfortunately, that old man is my grandfather.
I'm his only successor, although I've only learned a little. I'm Ryu. Chuan. Sakura. "
Rukawa Sakura glanced at everyone.
Everyone began to swallow their saliva. They couldn't tell at all!
Could it be that this little girl who looked like a virtuous lady was actually a violent woman?!
Regardless of her true combat strength, what if that old man flew into a rage after offending his biological granddaughter?
Millions of corpses would fall in a fit of anger!
It was said that the old man was very protective. If he wanted to make a big fuss, they would all have to bear the consequences!
Mitsui smiled. He knew that this little girl wasn't simple, so he wasn't too surprised.
"Uh … So it's a little princess …"
"Sorry for the disrespect."
"Um, say hello to the old man …"
"You and Mitsui can have a good chat. We'll take our leave first."
Tetsuo glanced at Mitsui.
Mitsui nodded at him, and Tetsuo walked away.
Mitsui casually ruffled Rukawa Sakura's hair. "Little girl, are you satisfied?"
Rukawa Sakura slapped Mitsui's hand away. "Don't ruffle my hair. You're so annoying.
I'm all grown up now. Don't bully me just because you're taller.
I didn't expect Grandpa's name to be so powerful. I'll use it to scare people in the future.
I'll definitely do better than you guys. Who knows, I might even become a big sister. "
"Haha!
I didn't expect you to know how to intimidate others!
You have a bright future! "
"Hey, Brother Mitsui, I'm serious. Don't you play basketball?"
Mitsui turned his head away. "I don't play anymore."
"Oh … Um, I don't think I've told you about my brother, right?
He won the title of MVP in middle school last year. Now, he's in Xiangbei High School.
Brother Mitsui, you were in Xiangbei High School before, right?
I've said it before. Brother Mitsui will definitely surpass you. Brother Mitsui, you're already overtaking the old. "Rukawa Sakura observed Mitsui's expression and pretended to be relaxed.
"How can you say that?
Even if I'm finished, what's so great about your brother?
Little brat, you're really siding with your brother. "Mitsui's expression was obviously complicated when he heard about Xiangbei. Now, he was pretending not to care.
"I'm not a little brat anymore.
We haven't seen each other for at least three years. I'm no longer that little girl in primary school.
I'm in my third year in middle school. "Rukawa Sakura knew that it wasn't the time to talk about basketball with him and deliberately changed the topic.
"Okay, I was wrong.
You've grown up, okay?
But you're still so young. "
"How can I compare to you?
Idiot!
I'm considered very tall among girls. "
"Yes, yes, yes. You're very tall."
"You're just patronizing me. Brother Mitsui is an idiot.
I won't lower myself to your level. "
Mitsui's mouth twitched. "Can you stop calling me an idiot?
Are you purposely picking on me? "
"Compared to you, I'm a genius. Don't forget that when I was in primary school, I taught a certain middle school student." Rukawa Sakura glanced sideways at him.
Mitsui was speechless.
Indeed, this little brat was a monster!
How could he have forgotten?!
He couldn't help but want to twitch when he thought about how she taught him homework.
This girl's IQ wasn't just for show.
"I'm currently studying at Tachikai University. If nothing goes wrong, I'll be promoted to Tachikaidai High School. I'm currently the Secretary General of the Student Council and the class monitor. I've never been in the top three of the cohort. Do you want me to reveal more?"
Mitsui: "…"
Rukawa Sakura deliberately changed the topic and threw a tantrum. She brought the conversation further and further away from basketball.
She didn't ask Mitsui anything. She didn't ask anything like why he didn't play basketball and why he clearly liked basketball.
This was someone else's private matter.
Mitsui knew her intentions and didn't say anything. In fact, he was secretly grateful for her understanding.
He had a general understanding of her personality. She was a quiet and gentle girl who wouldn't touch on other people's taboos.
If he didn't want to talk about it, she would never ask.
There were clearly many people who had their own dreams, but they were endlessly sinking into them.
Rukawa Sakura thought.
However, she didn't have to worry about Mitsui. He would go back. He couldn't abandon his love for basketball.
