"Dad,
Why did you choose Prunus? "
Andwa was stunned,
He realized the reason why his son came to him,
He crossed his arms again, his face full of the majesty of a professional hero, "That's the child you like,
I think she must be very powerful,
So I plan to help train her. "
"It's not that I like her..." Boom was a little helpless, but when he thought that Andwa's answer was very reasonable, his expression softened and he explained, "She's just a junior assigned to me by the school to help her study. You don't have to do this."
Andwa shrugged,
His expression was serious, "I think so too. After all, that little girl's ability is really not material to be a hero at all. Bombardment Scorch, you should be very upset to guide that kind of child, right?"
"Xiong Ying, who came up with this kind of plan, is also a busybody."
Andwa frowned, the flames burning on his face. He was a little disgusted by this kind of existence that hindered his son's growth, although..,
He wouldn't meddle too much in this matter.
"Dad, Prunus, she..."
"It's only the first day of the workplace experience. That child is really full of mistakes."
Andwa crossed his arms and walked to Bombardment Scorch's side,
Looking down at the street. Prunus and Shadow Hill were still looking for contact lenses in that position just now, but now they were gone,
They must be rushing to the office.
He was really clumsy.
Andwa exhaled,
White mist spurted out of his nostrils.
Hong furrowed his brows without leaving a trace.
He could not accept his father's complete denial of Prunus's ability. His father's old habit was back again — judging the value of others by their strength without a word.
But after a series of events last year, Boom understood his father's character a little. He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and patiently explained to his father, "No, Prunus has been improving. She is very powerful."
Andwa was also serious enough in the discussion. Since it was not his family, there was no harm in being blunt, "So what?
That child lacks the qualifications to be a hero. It will be very hard in the future, right?
She is far from enough. "
Hong still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a knock on the door that was neither too fast nor too slow.
"Mr. Andwa, the two interns are back."
The one who opened the door was the secretary. She opened the door first and let Shadow Hill and Prunus in.
Hong widened his eyes slightly, and met Bai Jian's gaze again.
I wonder if she heard what I said just now.
He felt that it was rather hurtful.
Bai Jian awkwardly looked away from Hong's line of sight.
Boom: … They must have heard it. They all heard it.
After all, Mr. Andval had no intention of lowering his voice.
Hong's face instantly turned somewhat ugly.
"… Mr. Andwa, the situation has been resolved. Do you have any other instructions?"
Shadow Hill was also one of the people who had heard Andwa's comments along with Prunus. In order to ease the tension, he immediately asked respectfully.
After meeting Prunus, Andwa was not in a good mood. After all, he had high hopes for her before he came here, but he did not expect her to be so slow. He was exasperated that she did not live up to his expectations and replied with a straight face, "No."
Shadow Hill: "Then we'll head back first."
Andwa was expressionless: "Okay."
After Shadow Hill bowed, Prunus obediently turned around and left. She had a rare expression of awkwardness.
She did not intend to greet Hong.
Hong, who was standing in the same place, was almost certain that Prunus had heard every word her father said.
With this thought in mind, he left Andwa and rushed out of the office without saying anything. He then chased after Prunus, who was leaving with Shadow Hill.
At this moment, she had taken off her goggles and hero uniform along with the hat. It seemed that she was going back to the locker room to change back into the Xiong Ying uniform.
"Prunus!"
Hong called out to Prunus, who was not saying a word to Shadow Hill, and chased after her with a serious expression.
Prunus stood in the same place with a dumbfounded expression. She looked at Hong, whose hair was messy because he was chasing after her, and twitched the corner of her mouth: "Hmm?"
"If my dad said something harsh today, I hope you don't take it to heart. Because that person is more …" Hong was a little confused. What word should he use to describe it?
"Just say it." Prunus was rarely smart enough to continue.
"Yes …" Hong nodded and replied. Then he realized that it was not right to say that Prunus was not cut out to be a hero.
Hong was so angry that he almost slapped his own mouth. He took a step forward and frowned: "No, that person … has always been focused on strength, so he often ignores other things."
"He doesn't mean any harm. That's just his personality."
Hong touched the back of his head. Why did he feel that the more he explained, the more he felt that he was speaking for his father. But he did not want Prunus to misunderstand his father, but … Hong was so annoyed that he crashed on the spot.
Prunus looked up at Hong, who was a little confused, and suddenly reached out to pat his arm: "I understand. Mr. Andwa is telling the truth."
"So you don't need to comfort me."
The girl's eyes were firm. The sunset reflected on her pair of red eyes, making her eyes gentle and warm.
"But Prunus …" Hong frowned. He felt that he could not let the girl down, so he looked at her with the most serious and determined expression: "You are different from what my father said. You are very powerful, I know."
Hong's attitude was so sincere.
"After all, I have been watching you, so I know … this is not comforting words."
Prunus's heart tightened. Looking at Hong's serious expression, she felt her little heart beating faster.
At this point, no matter how slow Prunus was, she could tell that Hong really wanted her to let go.
It was not a beautiful comforting words, he really wanted to correct her thinking.
Thinking of this, Prunus finally smiled.
"It's okay, Little Bombardment Scorch. No matter what, I will continue to work hard at my own pace … After all, we have an agreement at the sports festival." Prunus tilted her head, her pair of red eyes reflecting Bombardment Scorch's figure, shining brightly.
Hong was startled. Looking at the girl's slightly red cheeks, he remembered the agreement that only the two of them knew, and his heart beat faster.
"As long as you remember." Hong replied somewhat slowly.
"Well, I'll go back first." Prunus was still holding her goggles. After all, she was tired today and really wanted to go back to school early to rest: "Don't be late tomorrow."
Hong nodded.
Prunus smiled at him and turned to leave.
…
"You have a good relationship with Senior Hong."
"Yes, Little Bombardment Scorch and I were classmates in kindergarten."
"No wonder …"
Shadow Hill and Prunus chatted intermittently, while Hong stood in the corridor and turned back — he still wanted to talk to his father about Prunus, but after walking a short distance, he stopped again.
Standing in the corridor and watching Prunus leave, Hong fell into a momentary daze.
In his mind, he replayed the expression on Prunus' face — the setting sun, the firm and gentle red eyes, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth. Prunus' expression looked so strong.
Perhaps he did not need to say anything to his father, she would be able to overcome this workplace experience on her own.
Hong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. Looking at the hero suit he was wearing, he silently told himself — Prunus could overcome this obstacle on her own.
"I believe in her." He whispered and turned to leave the office.
— Sooner or later, his father would find out how powerful Prunus is.
The aggrieved Andwa: Is this why you don't talk to your father?
Sob.
…
…
The workplace experience continued.
Every child in Class 1-A was active in the workplace. Even An Qiu was a good child who went to work on time every day.
As for Andwa's Firm, as the new symbol of peace, Andwa wasn't so free as to bring two kids to patrol every day. Thus, from the second day onwards, Bai Jian and Ying Shan's mentors became Andwa's other partners and right-hand men.
Perhaps it was because of the change of teacher, Prunus's nervousness on the first day eased a lot, and she gradually started to look like a "hero".
And she was in a state where her hero value was maxed out.
— Almost all the children and old people on the street who encountered problems went to Prunus without hesitation for help.
Although it was not a big problem, Prunus's popularity still shocked Andwa's assistant and Shadow Hill.
For example, like this:
"Sister Hero, I lost my ball …"
"Little girl, how do I get to this place?"
"Sister Hero, you are the sister on TV!"
"Sister Hero, something seems to have happened over there …"
"Sister, I lost the money my mother gave me —"
…
Lost their parents, lost their money, got lost, had their bags stolen, or lost their belongings — all the citizens who encountered all kinds of problems would ask Prunus for help.
Shadow Hill: "… There are so many problems in Shinjuku."
Assistant: "No, when our office sends our heroes out to patrol, we don't encounter so many problems."
"… Sister, I got separated from Daddy and Mommy!
Wahhh!
I'm so scared! "
Before Shadow Hill and his assistant could finish their conversation, a child suddenly appeared and hugged Prunus's leg.
Prunus was very familiar with this. When it saw the child, it squatted down and asked with a gentle smile, "Don't cry, don't cry. Sister will accompany you to find your parents. What's your name?"
"Ken." The child cried.
Prunus's tone was very sincere and gentle. It reached out and held the child's hand, "Do you remember your parents' phone numbers?
Let's give them a call together ~ "
After that, Prunus knelt on the ground with one knee, held the child with one hand, and took out its mobile phone.
"Hello, is this Ken's parents?
Yes, yes, I'm Hero Baidala. Ken is now with me on Sixth Street … "With that, Prunus took off its gloves. While waiting, it made a small clay doll for the child and handed it to him. In just a few minutes, the crying child stopped crying and smiled.
— — The problem was completely solved, and it also made a good impression on Andwa's office.
Shadow Hill, Assistant: dumbfounded.jpg
Prunus SSR, The Expert in Dealing with the Old, Weak, Women, and Children.
"… Baidala, you are really good at this kind of thing." Shadow Hill said to Prunus, who KO'd another unexpected case.
"… Hmm?
Although I say that, I feel that what I do is more like a police officer. "
Prunus smiled naturally, its red eyes sparkling, "And, maybe I have the Mysterious Disaster Physique?"
Shadow Hill coughed softly and glanced away from the proud girl Prunus. He sighed calmly, "… It's the Mysterious Dazzle."
Prunus:??
Hong, who was focused on dealing with the workplace experience mission, sneezed quickly. He straightened up, rubbed his nose, and looked in a certain direction. He had a feeling of uneasiness, as if someone was eyeing something of his. Was it an illusion?
…
…
The patrol led by Andwa's assistant continued.
On the last day of the workplace experience mission, a thrilling incident happened in Shinjuku.
A person used a personality to rob a convenience store.
It was said that it was a personality that could transform its body into a giant jellyfish. According to the intelligence, the criminal had used the jellyfish's tentacles to sting several passersby and store employees. He even swallowed two children into his body.
It was unknown how many people were still trapped at the scene. The situation was very serious.
The assistant held the phone, and the HN network on the screen beeped, "Yes, there are only two Xiong Ying students and me nearby. Mr. Andwa!
The rest of the heroes may need at least ten minutes to arrive here! "
"Ten minutes will be too late!
The two children in the criminal's body will suffocate! "
"Please give instructions!"
"… Rescue the hostages first." Andwa said on the other end of the phone, "I'll come immediately."
"What about the two students?"
"It seems that the situation requires them to assist you."
"Yes!"
The assistant immediately hung up the phone and looked at Prunus and Shadow Hill, "Do you understand the situation?"
Prunus and Shadow Hill looked at each other and nodded, "Understood!
Please give instructions! "
…
The situation was critical. Prunus and Shadow Hill immediately joined the battle. With the help of the police, the area involved in the incident in Shinjuku was completely sealed off. No one knew how many people were still trapped in the area.
"Miss Assistant, what is your ability?"
Ying Shan glanced at the chaotic scene. There were also some citizens who compared this chaos to the Silt Monster incident two years ago. However, the situation now was slightly better. There was no fire at the scene, and the rescue efforts were much simpler.
The assistant's lips curled into an ugly smile, "I'm ashamed to say that my personality is of the enhancement type. I can enhance the personalities of the heroes around me by high-fiving them.
Of course, although my personality is not of the combat type, I have received Xiong Ying training. I have no problem in ordinary battles. "
"Although I want to rescue the hostages immediately, considering that there should be some trapped citizens in the venue, we should clear the area first and then focus on attacking the jellyfish. We have to move quickly, or the children inside won't be able to withstand it!"
As the assistant said this, she high-fived Prunus and Shadow Hill. Using her ability to enhance her personality, she rushed into the venue at the same time as the two children.
Even though it was an unexpected situation, fortunately, both Bai Jian and Ying Shan's personalities were especially suitable for rescuing people. Bai Jian's personality was able to create clay that could be used as a buffer and clay that could stick the citizens together. On the other hand, Ying Shan's personality, "Puppet Strings", allowed him to easily control the people and objects that were stuck by the strings.
"… Everyone, don't worry. The heroes are here!"
The assistant lady used the Z-shaped jumping method to jump between the buildings. She looked down at the jellyfish monster that was seven to eight metres tall, and signalled for Bai Jian and Ying Shan to rescue the trapped person.
The order was roughly like this. Shadow Hill used his Puppet Strings to get rid of the obstacles, while Prunus made a floating bed of light clay and put the people on it to return to the protected area with the flow of water.
The assistant adjusted her glasses and carefully analyzed the giant jellyfish monster. She was a logistical hero, and the key was to rescue the hostages with the help of the students' abilities.
"Miss Assistant, there are no more trapped citizens nearby!"
After the last child was carried out from the rubble and safely sent back to the police using the clay bird, Prunus reported seriously.
"Great!
The battle begins! "
The assistant lady leaped down from the top of the building and gave Ying Shan and Bai Jian a high five once again. Then, she looked seriously at the jellyfish monster who was still in the middle of the street, being held at gunpoint by the police and begging them to let him go.
"According to the characteristics of the jellyfish monster, its main attack should be on its tentacles."
The assistant frowned. "The tentacles have spines that allow it to sting, capture, or conquer its prey at the fastest speed. Although we can't see the prisoner's facial features from this angle, the tentacles actually have organs that function like ears. The tentacles can extend up to 20 meters. In short, considering our combat ability, we have to subdue it from a distance."
She spoke frankly and eloquently, and at the same time gave a simple analysis of the situation of the hostages to Bai Jian and Ying Shan. After all, they were Andwa's assistants. Their ability to judge the situation on the battlefield was extraordinary.
"No other tips." The assistant frowned. "I'll be responsible for the feint. You two use your own methods to take down the jellyfish monster. It's best to find a way to make it fall to the ground. Then I can punch a hole in its body. Hurry up!
The child inside can't wait! "
Prunus and Shadow Hill looked at each other and jumped in the opposite direction. They were classmates, and it was not the first time that they had seen each other use personality, so they were very compatible with each other.
After high-fiving the assistant, Prunus also felt that the toughness of his clay was slightly higher. Just like how Chiku used spider silk, he shot the clay to the top of the building and made something like a rope to swing himself ten meters away from the jellyfish monster.
The assistant's choice of feint was very correct. After all, most of the hero suit she was wearing was made of mechanical parts, and it could withstand the damage from the jellyfish's tentacles. On the other hand, Prunus and Shadow Hill could not.
"Ghost Hunter, do you have any good ideas?"
Ying Shan nodded his head. Because of the urgency of the situation, he didn't care about anything else. "You create a clay that can explode, then sneak under the jellyfish without making a sound. I will use a feint attack to attract the enemy's attention!"
"I can only make palm-sized bombs. Otherwise, they will hurt the hostages."
"… Okay, then I'll try to limit the jellyfish monster's range of movement. You be careful and install the bombs."
"I'll come back and help you after the bombs are installed."
After saying that, Prunus immediately went through the alley to the back of the jellyfish monster. He cut his palm and made a moving animal bomb behind his back.
The assistant and Shadow Hill immediately entered the battle with the jellyfish monster from the front.
Because the jellyfish did not have an official mouth, it could only make some unclear sounds. Prunus' forehead was covered in cold sweat. It was not easy to avoid the tentacles' "eyes and ears" and make the bombs run to the jellyfish's body.
But, she could do it!
Prunus looked at the two children who were swallowed by the jellyfish with red eyes. Although they were still conscious, their faces had turned purple due to the lack of oxygen for a long time.
The painful appearance of the citizens was the same as the scene she had seen before.
Thinking of this, she ran to the back of the jellyfish after making the bombs. While feigning an attack, she scattered the spider-shaped bombs behind the jellyfish. In this way, as long as the bombs were detonated at the same time, the jellyfish would lose its balance and hide behind the jellyfish. The assistant could also take advantage of this gap to rescue the children.
"Now, Prunus!"
Shadow Hill finally dodged the attack of the jellyfish and made a gesture to Prunus, who was hiding in the distance between the buildings.
Prunus nodded and immediately jumped out of the alley with hundreds of fine needles made of clay in her hands. They were used to stimulate the detonation of the bombs.
But just as she threw the needles in the direction of the hidden bombs, the jellyfish's tentacles seemed to have sensed her presence. The tentacles, which were more than ten meters long, attacked Prunus at a speed that was visible to the naked eye but impossible to follow.
"Boom!" Prunus was violently thrown to the ground by the tentacles.
She rolled on the ground like a ball and spat out a mouthful of acid.
"Prunus!" "Baidala!"
Shadow Hill and the assistant looked at the girl on the ground in panic. Shadow Hill wanted to help but was blocked by the tentacles. They couldn't confirm the situation of Prunus, but the most important thing now was to save the two children who were about to suffocate.
"Without Baidala's clay bombs, I think we have to save the hostages with our own strength!"
The assistant judged Prunus's situation. She seemed to be unable to stand up in a short time. In this case, they had to defeat the jellyfish on their own.
Shadow Hill looked at his classmate who was in pain, gritted his teeth and nodded.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ying Shan suddenly saw a white shadow fly past the back of the jellyfish, drawing a half-moon mark in the air. Almost at the same moment the white shadow flew past, a series of small explosions occurred behind the jellyfish!
"Boom! Boom!" The explosions sounded one after another behind the jellyfish. Shadow Hill and the assistant looked and saw that the jellyfish had lost its fulcrum because of the destruction of its tentacles. Its huge body had no choice but to fall backward.
"Boom!" The jellyfish fell to the ground and lost half of its tentacles.
"Didn't Prunus lose its ability to move?
How did she detonate the bombs? "
Shadow Hill, who had excellent combat sense and judgment, quickly looked around and finally locked on to the clay bird hovering above the jellyfish.
That bird was different from the one in the sports festival. It didn't have a fat belly, only the edges of its wings were unusually sharp. Did they rely on this bird?
In case they couldn't use the long needle to detonate the bombs, the bird's diving power would stimulate the bombs.
Prunus was very thoughtful!
Shadow Hill watched until the bird landed on the ground, but because of the explosion, it couldn't fly again.
"Assistant!"
Shadow Hill understood Prunus' intention. The battle plan was to continue. Since Prunus worked so hard to maintain the battle plan, he couldn't let this opportunity go to waste. He immediately used the arranged puppet line to tie up some of the tentacles.
As for the assistant, she took advantage of this gap and punched the body of the jellyfish monster. The soft body of the jellyfish immediately broke a big hole, and the water inside poured out like a waterfall, along with the two hostages inside.
"The hostages have been successfully rescued!"
Knowing that the two children were still breathing, the assistant said so.
Shadow Hill quickly used the puppet line to send the two children away. Then he thought about another question. "Where is Prunus?
Since she still had the strength to trigger the explosion just now, she must have escaped, right? "
Using his personality, Shadow Hill quickly went behind the jellyfish. When the smoke dispersed, he found that Prunus was now pressed to the ground by the jellyfish's head.
"… Prunus!"
So she didn't escape?!
For the sake of the plan, she detonated the bombs directly at that distance?!
Even if the jellyfish's body was soft, it was not something that could be pressed on by it!
Shadow Hill's face changed, and he reached out to jump down from the building to save the girl. But at this moment, he encountered the same thing as Prunus —
The jellyfish monster, which hadn't been completely defeated, used its remaining tentacles to attack him. Ying Shan's pupils shrank. Just as he was preparing himself to endure the pain of being hit, he suddenly heard a loud boom. Following that, a heatwave that didn't match the current situation rolled towards him!
Shadow Hill opened his eyes and found that it was the trace of fire — Andwa was here!
It only took her five minutes to come from the office?!
Shadow Hill stabilized his falling trajectory and happened to land near Prunus. He trotted closer to her and checked her breath.
She was still breathing!
He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately carried Prunus away.
"Andwa!" "It's the hero Andwa!"
The audience cheered for the reliable hero's appearance.
Andwa noticed that the dizzy girl had been rescued, so he didn't waste any time. Instead, he hit the jellyfish back to the ground again with a grim face. With a bang, the jellyfish that was severely injured emitted water vapor — a few seconds later, the jellyfish had returned to its human form.
The audience cheered, and the incident was perfectly solved.
On the other hand, Bai Jian, who was being carried by Ying Shan, barely regained his consciousness. Looking at Andrew's arrival, looking at his reliable back — he hurriedly rolled off Ying Shan's back.
"Prunus, are you …"
"I'm, standing …" She stubbornly interrupted Shadow Hill.
— A hero should bring a sense of security to the citizens at any time.
A hero who rested on the shoulders of her companions in front of the citizens because of exhaustion after a battle failed.
That was what Andwa had said.
Bai Jian recalled the stern expression on his face when he said those words. He covered the wound on his abdomen that was stung by the tentacles and covered the wound with clay. Then, he stood up unsteadily.
Shadow Hill: … I didn't know it could be used like this.
Prunus: Yes, it could.
Shadow Hill: That's too much.
Prunus shook her head and lowered her head without saying a word.
After helping the police tie up the citizen who had turned into a jellyfish monster, Andwa returned to his assistant and the two heroes' side.
He looked down at the three subordinates in front of him with his usual solemn and emotionless gaze. They could be considered subordinates for now. After all, Ying Shan and Bai Jian were both working under him for now.
Finally, his eyes fell on Prunus, who looked confused and was obviously the most embarrassed of the three. He frowned and said, "Your behavior just now was a failure."
Although a hero should have the spirit of sacrifice, Prunus used a suicidal rescue method without discussing it with her companions, which would cause more unnecessary trouble.
There was obviously a better way, but she still detonated the bomb without caring about her own safety. That was absolutely unwise.
A hero needed to have the spirit of sacrifice, but he didn't need a hero who sacrificed randomly — that was not a sign of greatness, but stupidity.
From the stunned reaction of Shadow Hill and the secretary, they didn't know that Prunus used that move, which meant that her recklessness had the chance to hurt the other citizens and her companions.
— So, she failed.
Not every battle could be saved by luck. Even if she was successfully saved by him in the end, what if he wasn't in the next rescue operation?
Then she would be dead.
Even if she didn't die, if she caused irreparable damage to her body, like many heroes he knew, and was forced to end their heroic lives, then she would die as a hero.
Irrational, reckless, and stupid.
No matter how he thought about it, she failed.
So, this was the first thing Andwa thought about Prunus.
The moment these words left his mouth, shock flashed across both the assistant and Ying Shan's faces. Ying Shan, who was dissatisfied with Andwa's unusually high expectations for Bai Jian, finally couldn't help but speak up, "Mister Andwa, Bai Dala, she —"
"Mr. Andwa …" Prunus, who heard the words "failed" and "score" in a daze, naturally had many thoughts floating in her mind: I'm dead.
She opened her mouth and wanted to apologize subconsciously, but she felt that her consciousness was getting more and more muddled, and she saw stars.
Before she could say another word, she fell forward. Well, where else could she fall? Naturally, she fell into Andwa's arms.
Andwa's face darkened when the soft little body fell into his arms.
Shadow Hill was shocked and almost imagined what Andwa was going to say: Troublesome, failed, weak, and so on. Then, he would announce Prunus' score with a stern expression.
— Oh my god, if Prunus knew who she fell into, she would be scared out of her wits.
The assistant's thoughts were more direct: Okay, let's make an appointment for her to come back next year.
The live audience: (Press the shutter)
Shadow Hill looked at Andwa's silent expression as he stared at Prunus in his arms. He would be a good brother and pull her back from Andwa's hands.
Thinking this, Shadow Hill encouraged himself to reach out his hand.
But before that —
Andwa's hand moved first.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Shadow Hill: Don't burn her, she's just a child!
Unexpectedly, the scenario that Ying Shan imagined in his mind didn't happen. The stern-looking Andrew extended his hand, only to support the waist of the young lady that fell on his chest, to prevent her from sliding down from his chest.
Then, Andwa looked down and called out to her, shaking his arm, "Hey, wake up."
Bai Jian blinked his eyes and looked up at Andwa. It was unknown whether he was frightened or not, but he fell asleep like a child with his head resting on Andwa's chest.
Shadow Hill was completely dead: No one can save you now, Prunus.
"So stupid."
Andwa looked down at the girl, but for some reason, the serious attitude he had towards her from the first day was gradually disappearing.
— His eyes started to soften a little, and the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up a little.
Shadow Hill and the assistant were so scared that they hugged each other in their hearts.
Andwa looked down at Prunus and sighed in his heart — she was indeed a failed hero.
Her personality was simple, her behavior was reckless, and she didn't know how to look at the big picture — but it was her who used everything she had to solve the problem for everyone.
Just before he left for Shinjuku, he received a phone call, thanking Andwa's office for finding his son, and asking him to thank his colleagues.
Then, his secretary sent him many letters of gratitude, most of which were written by the children themselves — there were almost a dozen thank-you calls and thank-you emails, all of which were thanking the girl for her friendly help.
It wasn't a big deal.
He also didn't think that Andwa's office was used to find lost items and children.
It was just that this girl didn't let anyone in trouble help her.
She didn't give up anyone in trouble.
Even if she was exhausted, she still stood there and smiled — Andwa looked down at the girl's smile.
She was always giggling — just like a certain someone.
He used to hate her the most, but now he found himself looking forward to it.
This girl had something that he and Bombardment Scorch didn't have, so …
For a guy with poor aptitude, this girl did a good job.
"So you passed," Andwa said calmly.
…
…
At dusk.
The last day of the workplace experience ended early. When Prunus woke up again, she was already in the hospital in Shinjuku.
As if she had a nightmare, she suddenly jumped up from the side of the bed.
"Wow!"
She exclaimed and touched her abdomen that was hit by the jellyfish's tentacles — the wound on it had disappeared, so it must have been fully treated.
"Prunus, you're awake."
Ying Shan, who was sitting at the side, felt a sense of relief. Just as he was about to say something to Bai Jian, the door to the ward opened with a swoosh. The person who walked in was Andwa, who had his arms crossed and a stern expression on his face.
Prunus froze for three seconds and immediately lay back on the bed, pretending to be dead.
Shadow Hill: … Prunus, who do you think you can fool?
Prunus: I'm already dead, I'm already dead, I'm already dead …
Andwa: … Is this little girl kidding me?
Shadow Hill: Prunus, you're hopeless.
Andwa didn't intend to argue with the little girl who suddenly became lazy. A lot of things happened today, and he went to deal with the accident scene — he thought about what his son had told him …
He didn't dislike the little girl so much now.
Thinking of this, he stepped closer to Prunus and called her in a deep voice, "White Tara."
Prunus jumped up like a shrimp that had just been put into a pot and knelt on the bed, "… Yes, yes!"
Shadow Hill: … Full points for reaction speed.
Andwa silently handed a paper bag to Prunus, and Prunus took it with a confused face.
Is this the cardboard box you receive when you're fired??
Prunus blinked her red eyes, "This is …?"
"Your result sheet."
Andwa said to Prunus with a straight face. Really, am I that scary?
Why is she acting so surprised? "… Look at it now."
"Oh, okay."
Hearing that it was a result sheet, both Prunus and Shadow Hill immediately broke out in cold sweat. If it was a certificate of failure, she didn't want to see it — but since it was Andwa's order, she couldn't resist.
Prunus opened the paper bag with trembling hands and glanced at it, only to find that the failure sheet looked a little colorful.
The style was too cute?
She picked up a piece of watercolor paper and found that it was obviously a child's drawing.
Drawings, letters, handwritten letters, printed emails …
[Sister, thank you.]
[Thank you for helping me find my parents.]
[The white-haired hero is a good child, thank you Andwa's office.]
[To Andwa's office, the white-haired girl is …]
Reading the letters one by one, Prunus's red eyes were filled with tears again.
"There are also some thank you calls from the citizens, but I didn't record them."
Andwa looked at Prunus indifferently, and Prunus heard Andwa speak for a long time. She immediately put down the letters in her hand, wiped her tears, and looked up to meet his blue eyes.
Prunus sniffed and looked at Andwa with a confused face, "What do you mean???"
"Our office is not a place to look for lost items for children."
Andwa stared at Prunus with his blue eyes, the fire burning on his face. He maintained the pose of crossing his arms and said to Prunus, "That's why our office hasn't received letters from children for many years."
"… Uh, I'm sorry!"
Prunus was scared to death, and her dog ears drooped, thinking that Andwa's meaning was — "You brat, your actions have caused our office to be harassed by children's letters."
Shadow Hill looked at her classmate who had been taught by Andwa to apologize reflexively, and lit a candle for her.
"… So."
Andwa ignored the little girl's tear-filled apology, closed his eyes, crossed his arms again, and said gently, "… You passed."
Prunus's head buzzed, and she lost the ability to react.
"… Little girl, you've done many things that our office couldn't do.
You've done a lot of things that I neglected — "Andwa saw the little girl's completely confused face, and his tone softened. He looked at Prunus's petrified face and smiled helplessly," … You're a good hero, continue to work hard in the future. "
Prunus's expression froze, and she looked at Andwa's poker face with teary red eyes.
[Pass?]
[Continue to work hard?]
[Good?]
Did all these words come from Mr. Andwa's mouth?
Prunus blinked. She had been working in fear for the past week, and she was afraid that she would make a mistake again and make Andwa unhappy. Especially just now, when she heard him say that she had failed at the scene of the accident, her heart almost stopped.
Prunus looked at the letter in her hand, and then looked at Shadow Hill, as if asking with her eyes: Did I really pass?
Shadow Hill nodded.
So, Prunus quickly turned her attention back to Andwa, and she noticed that his green eyes had softened, and she finally cried like a fool, "Thank … Thank you, thank you, Mr. Andwa!"
"I passed … I thought I was going to die …"
"I can't believe I can continue to be a hero …"
"Wah, I'm not dreaming, am I? Wuwu —"
Prunus rubbed her cheeks while crying, afraid that this was just a dream.
"… You're so stupid."
He really wanted to continue watching — to see the results of this stupid girl's growth.
Could she become a "good hero" that was completely different from Bombardment Scorch and himself?
…
