The Seventh Week
Chapter 21
"Hey, didn't you say you would bring Sako back?" Phyllostachys Amoena curled up on the sofa, staring at the man in front of him with his red eyes.
"Sorry, Ourumit had already discovered Miss Sako's identity when I arrived." The man lowered his head, pretending to be apologetic as he spoke.
"Ourumit, it's that guy again …" Phyllostachys Amoena grumbled. "So what? Let's go and bring Sako back together."
Phyllostachys Amoena raised his head, his red eyes gleaming with interest. "Your ability is very convenient, isn't it?"
A drop of sweat dripped from Black Fog's head. This guy was still as reckless as ever. "T?
Have you forgotten about Afro-sama's current situation?
It's not the time to fight them yet. "
"If it's not the time, when will it be?"
Phyllostachys Amoena scratched his neck in frustration. "I can't wait any longer. I feel nauseous whenever I see those heroes."
"Just bear with it a little longer.
t。”
Sako lay on the windowsill, the yellow daisy's delicate petals swaying in the wind.
People with horns, people with three heads and six arms, and giant monsters walked on the same street in harmony.
No one seemed to find it strange.
This was a society that worshipped heroes.
Heroes …
"Zuo Zi, come and eat." The man who poked his head out of the narrow kitchen door said to Zuo Zi with a smile that revealed eight teeth.
It was a pity for such a tall man to be squeezed into the kitchen.
Zuo Zi sighed. She recalled the scene that night when she saw Muscle Man suddenly shrink into a weak chicken.
He could have shrunk, why did he have to show off in front of her?

Ourumit took Sako to leave the orphanage in a car after the procedures were completed.
Zuo Zi turned her head and looked at the dilapidated but warm little house through the car window. She had some doubts in her heart.
Was the director's words true? Was she really a child who was brought to the orphanage after her parents died?
When the benevolent-looking headmistress expressed her gratitude to Olumet, her expression did not seem to be fake, and there was no need for her to lie about such a thing.
Sako turned to Ourumit, who thought she was reluctant to leave the orphanage and stroked her hair comfortingly.
Why didn't she see that boy again …
"You're too impulsive."
Kota Aizawa leaned against the wall and looked at Ourumit helplessly. "I don't think it's a bad idea for the child to stay in the orphanage.."
Ourumit scratched his head, his eyes drifting. Indeed, when he saw the words' parents died 'and the look in the child's eyes, he didn't care about anything else.
But … Ourumit's eyes gradually became firm. "Shouldn't a hero be useful at times like this?
Since I've made the decision, I'll do my best. "That was because the child's eyes were filled with loneliness and confusion.
No, I'm worried about whether you can raise a child well if you put all your energy into being a 'symbol of peace'.
Kota Aizawa wanted to say something, but he didn't. He felt helpless.
"Eraser, it's late. You should go back." Ourumit patted Kota Aizawa's shoulder and smiled comfortingly.
Kota Aizawa sighed. He had never been able to persuade him.
Aizawa's figure gradually disappeared into the dark corridor.
Olumet watched his friend's departing figure, and the smile on his face slowly collapsed. He turned around and opened the door.
Zuo Zi should have already fallen asleep. That child really didn't look like Master.
His master was clearly someone who was always full of energy and was always smiling.
Ourumit breathed a sigh of relief and allowed himself to return to his skinny form.
He was getting weaker and weaker. He bent over and covered his mouth with his hand as he coughed.
"You … what's wrong?"
Ourumit's trembling back stiffened from coughing. He slowly raised his head and saw the girl in white pajamas holding a teddy bear at the door.
"I …" Shit, how do I explain?
Sako looked at the tall and thin man in a white shirt in the dark and hesitated. "Ouru … Matt?"
"So … it's the aftermath of the battle."
"Mhmm, that's right." Ourumit scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
The girl who was just adopted saw her guardian's embarrassing side. She would definitely think he was unreliable.
"So you've been catching criminals in this state?"
Ourumit was speechless as he looked into the girl's clear eyes.
Sako stood up from the sofa and stepped on the floor barefoot. She turned around and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Huh?" Ourumit stared at Sako's back blankly.
"Wait a minute, I'll make you a bowl of noodles before you rest."
Ourumit looked at the bowl of noodle soup on the table. His eyes slowly moistened. Ourumit covered his eyes and chuckled.
The girl was too gentle.
Compared to her, he was the good-for-nothing adult.
Sako leaned against the window. Ourumit went out early in the morning again. He was always like this.
It seemed like he was doing some kind of heroic activity.
Even though he was seriously injured, he was still out there fighting with the enemy all day long.
Sako bit her index finger and drew blood. She made a complicated seal and pressed it on the floor. A blood-red floating formation appeared on the ground. The white fog dissipated and several eagles appeared.
Sako stroked the eagle's shiny and beautiful feathers and said softly to the intelligent ninja beast, "Please, help me find my brother in this world." The black eagle flew away from the window and into the sky.
"Go to school?"
"Mhmm, I helped you apply for it two days ago. Sako can go to school starting tomorrow." Ourumit stroked Sako's head and said with a smile.
"… To become a hero?" Sako looked up and asked hesitantly.
"Haha, no, it's just going to a normal school. If you want to become a hero, study hard and then take the Hero Exam after graduation!"
That's what that person said.
Sako stood in front of the podium and looked at the group of strange-looking children. He said hesitantly, "Hello everyone, I'm Sasako Uchiha. Nice to meet you."
"Wow, there's a new transfer student ~"
"Kawaii ~"
"That's the one … the mysterious transfer student or something."
"Shut up, all of you!"
