Chapter 204: Master 201

"master?"

After hearing what Shizuka Hiratsuka said, the three girls Yukino who were sitting next to them all pricked up their ears curiously.

Although they have always known that Shizuka Hiratsuka had a master who taught her martial arts since she was a child, they have never seen him in person.

For Yukino and Ran, the master that Shizuka Hiratsuka mentioned is a very magical person.

Apart from anything else, the only person who could make Shizuka Hiratsuka angry and scared when she mentioned her, and make her helpless and unable to vent her anger, was this person called Master.

"Yes, it's me. I can tell that you are still my good disciple. Otherwise..." He snorted in a subtle tone. Although he didn't say any threatening words explicitly, Shizuka Hiratsuka still shook her body subconsciously.

There is no way. From childhood to adulthood, Shizuka Hiratsuka has been treated so badly by her master.

Even Shizuka Hiratsuka, who is now extremely confident in her own strength, does not dare to say that she can beat her master.

"Um, Master, wait for me a moment." With a twitching mouth, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at the three little ones who were staring at her eagerly, stood up unhappily, and walked to a secluded corner of the corridor outside the cafeteria in the disappointed eyes of Yukino and the others.

"Master, is there something you want to tell me? It seems that it is not time to go back to the village for the test this year?" There was no way to smoke in school, so Shizuka Hiratsuka could only purse her lips.

She knew that her master was not the type to be shy, so she didn't exchange too many pleasantries.

After all, Shizuka Hiratsuka had never heard of her master suffering from any illness or disaster over the years.

"Ah, it's really nothing. I just accidentally broke the phone you bought me. I was so busy that I didn't think about it. I just remembered it, so I asked the villagers to help buy you a new phone and called you to let you know."

"Is it broken?" Her expression was a little subtle. Thinking about how she had spent so much time struggling to make up her mind to call her, and how she felt really stupid when she was ignored and still worried about the outcome.

"Master, you're not playing a mobile game again and you're so angry you broke your phone because you couldn't get through a level, are you?"

"How could that be? I'm tired of playing those games. It's more fun to go to the training ground in the village and find someone to practice with every day." Her tone was full of undisguised disgust. Shizuka Hiratsuka had no good way to deal with her willful master.

"You sound quite energetic when you speak. It seems that you have no problems. Then I won't waste time with you. I will tell you the time of the test when I return to the village today. Have fun."

"Hey, Master, wait a minute!" When Shizuka Hiratsuka heard that her master was about to hang up the phone, she forgot to control her voice and became louder.

"what happened?"

"I've encountered something strange and would like to ask you, Master." She touched her head awkwardly. According to Shizuka Hiratsuka's personality, she didn't want to disturb her Master easily. However, from the time she discovered that strange organization to the several contacts with them, Shizuka Hiratsuka really had no useful gains.

The feeling of her being in the light while the enemy is in the dark is really uncomfortable.

"During my summer vacation, I encountered a strange case in Chiba..."

"Well, Jing, I have a general understanding of your situation." The master, who had been listening quietly to Shizuka Hiratsuka's story for almost half an hour and had heard the general situation, still spoke in a calm tone.

Only Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was familiar with her, could sense a hint of helplessness and anger in her calm tone.

"I know a little about this matter, Jing, you don't have to be too anxious. I know the organization you mentioned, but some things are not convenient to talk about over the phone." There was a rustling sound from the phone. Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was familiar with the other party, knew that this was her master's habit of scratching his hair when he felt annoyed.

Well, to be honest, I learned this habit from my master.

"Don't worry about your family. Remember that stone lion statue I asked you to bring home?"

"Is it the one you, Master, asked me to take home when I was twelve years old?" Thinking of the stone lion that was about 30 centimeters square, Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded slightly.

"Yes, that's it. Have your dad take that thing out and put it in the middle of your yard or at the door. If anyone wants to attack your house, they'll give up after seeing that."

"Oh, is that so?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked in surprise. She didn't expect that the stone lion had such a wonderful use.

However, this also shows that his master does have a deep understanding of the mysterious organization. He is worthy of being a master. He clearly got rid of Koko and Fujiko, but they still couldn't find out.

But this attitude of knowing the truth but not wanting to tell you really makes Shizuka Hiratsuka angry.

"Yes, let's do this. I can't leave for the time being. I'll ask the villagers to look for you in a couple of days. That's all." In just a few words, the matter that Shizuka Hiratsuka was worried about was resolved. Shizuka Hiratsuka's master showed his magnanimity.

"Okay, Master, I'll wait at home. You know my phone number. Just ask someone to come over and call me when the time comes."

"Well, just take good care of it, and don't worry about other things."

"Okay, I understand, Master." He nodded with a smile. It must be said that in this world, not even Hiratsuka Shizuka's parents could make Hiratsuka Shizuka feel so dependent on him.

In the eyes of Xiaolan, Yukino and the others, Shizuka Hiratsuka is omnipotent.

The master is also like this in Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes.

"By the way, you just mentioned that you encountered a bar full of experts in Tokyo, right?"

"Well, I didn't realize it before. The people in there are very strong. But your apprentice is still the best. I didn't embarrass you, Master."

"It's not shameful. The leader of the tavern is an old man named Kong Lao, and there is also a scary-looking kid."

"Yes, it's Master Kong and Yingluo. What? Master, do you know?"

"Tsk, I know too much. Okay, stop wasting time on me. I have something to do here. I'm hanging up."

"Hello, Master? Master... Tsk."

. . .

"Village chief, you don't look well." Seeing the person next to him hang up the phone, the secretary who was responsible for helping to handle the documents asked carefully with concern.

"Is this about Miss Jing?"

"Well, don't worry too much." Lightly tapping the desktop, Hiratsuka Shizuka's master thought for a moment, and took out a somewhat old phone book from the drawer of the desk.

After finding the number she needed, she dialed it without hesitation.

"Hey, old monster, are you still alive?"

"Haha, I didn't expect that I could receive a call from you, sir." In a pub that Shizuka Hiratsuka in Tokyo was familiar with, Kong Lao was standing behind the counter holding the phone with a smile on his face.

"Her Majesty Tsunade of Konoha Village."

Chapter 205: Jing, did you miss me?

Shizuka Hiratsuka had no idea what exactly the old man in the tavern talked about with his master.

However, compared to this kind of thing, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who had been comforted by her master and was not too concerned about the affairs of the strange organization for the time being, absent-mindedly focused her attention on Chiba's home.

"I remember Mom said she was preparing for a dinner, but we usually have lunch in the afternoon, so the two sides should have met by then."

Scratching her head in confusion, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't know why. It was just an ordinary visit from a friend at home, but Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't calm down.

"Fujiko wouldn't say anything nonsense, right?" With her elbows resting on the desk and gently spinning a ballpoint pen in her hand, Shizuka Hiratsuka found it difficult to imagine her parents and Fujiko sitting together for dinner.

"But with Fujiko's pleasing personality, nothing serious should happen. Besides, although my dad and the others are also gangsters, they probably don't know an international thief like Fujiko." After thinking about it, she just felt that it was annoying. Shizuka Hiratsuka casually threw the ballpoint pen into the pen holder and stretched lazily as the school bell rang in her ears.

"Forget it, let's relax for a day and go have a drink."

. . .

"What's wrong? You're all as quiet as hamsters stuck in their caves by wolves."

After hanging up the phone, Kong Lao looked at the people who had already arrived at the tavern in amusement even though it was only afternoon.

"Um, Mr. Kong, the person who just called you was Tsunade from Konoha Village, right?" The glass filled with wine was placed steadily on the table. During the time when Mr. Kong was calling, the people in the tavern were really trembling in their chairs, not even daring to breathe, let alone drinking.

"Wow!"

"Ah!" The sound of a paper door sliding open and the screams of people in the tavern were heard one after another.

Huajian Yingluo, who was a step behind, looked at the frightened people in the tavern in confusion and narrowed her eyes in amusement.

"What's wrong? Aren't you all usually so arrogant? God is the boss and you are the boss, right? Why are you all like frightened rabbits today?"

"No, no, we have never done that. Even if Tian is the boss, Kong is the second, and you, Hua Ye, are the third." With a flattering smile on his face, and feeling that his performance just now was a bit embarrassing, the fat man coughed lightly and greeted Hua Jian Yingluo with a smile.

"Hehe, pigs are really thick-skinned." After mocking the fat man, Huajian Yingluo walked briskly to her familiar seat and sat down.

"Tell me, what happened just now?" Looking at the full glass of wine in front of the fat man, Huajian Yingluo took it directly and held it in her hand.

"Um, Mr. Hua." The fat man scratched his belly with a flickering expression and spoke in a subtle tone.

"It seems that just now, Mr. Kong was on the phone with Lady Tsunade of Konoha Village."

"Pfft~"

"Huh?" All the wine in his mouth sprayed out. Huajian Yingluo wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at the fat man in surprise whose face he had sprayed with wine.

"Master Kong, what's going on?" After the surprise came excitement and delight. Huajian Yingluo turned her head and looked at Master Kong's two big eyes. The word "curiosity" was written on the left and "interesting" was written on the right.

"Don't the people of Konoha Village usually avoid contacting us monsters?"

"That's true, but the situation this time is a little special." Shaking his head slightly, thinking of what Tsunade had just said to him on the phone, Kong Lao's heart was also moved.

"What do you mean?"

"Ms. Hiratsuka is Tsunade-hime's apprentice. I think you should understand what I mean."

"Wow~" Her eyes were shining with excitement. Huajian Yingluo really didn't expect that she would encounter such an interesting development today.

"But, Brother Jing seems to know nothing about monsters." Touching her smooth chin, Huajian Yingluo narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, Princess Tsunade didn't say much about the details, but she must have her own considerations." Nodding slightly, Kong Lao also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now I understand why Saki became interested in Ms. Hiratsuka and why he would approach her in such a gentle way."

"A gentle way." The fat man blinked dryly, thinking of the mirage whose spatial ability was sealed by him with the magic ball given by Kong Lao, and then he beat him to the ground secretly. If it weren't for the fear of embarrassment, he would have cried out of anger. The fat man nodded in understanding.

Indeed, it seems that Saki is also concerned about Tsunade, otherwise he would not let Shen, the most unreliable person, to monitor Jing.

Those who are familiar with Mirage know that she is very useful for eavesdropping, gathering information, and finding things, but when it comes to fighting.

Telling it to others would only bring shame to the monster.

"After all, Princess Tsunade doesn't want us to say anything too much. She will arrange someone to talk to Miss Hiratsuka about this matter." Raising his head slightly, Lao Kong looked at everyone in the tavern.

"Just treat Miss Hiratsuka as usual. There's no need to pay any special attention."

"Don't worry about that. Even if Princess Tsunade is not here, we can't beat Brother Jing. It's no problem." He nodded with a smile. When it comes to being magnanimous, the fat man has never been defeated by anyone.

"Well, I'm glad you know it." His withered fingers tapped lightly on the countertop, and deep thoughts surged in Kong Lao's half-open eyes.

"Our focus lately has been on Saki and the others. I have a feeling his return to Neon this time won't be that simple."

"Yes!"

. . .

"So, you must have had a pretty good meal at my house." Shizuka Hiratsuka held her cell phone in a bad mood, her long legs resting on the coffee table.

"Well, Fujiko, you actually played this trick on me. What's the point of running home without saying anything?"

"I just want to improve the relationship between me and my uncle and aunt. After all, Jing, my baby, we have such a good relationship, but I have never visited your parents. This is unacceptable~" Sitting on the bed in the hotel with a smile, thinking about the experience this afternoon, Fujiko's mood can no longer be described as happy.

For the first time, she was grateful for the conversational skills she had developed over the years of stealing. As expected, a skill is always useful no matter where you are!

"You didn't call me that in front of my parents?"

"No~ I'm a very sensible person, how could I possibly embarrass you, Jing baby~"

"Tsk, okay, as long as you're happy... hm? Wait a minute." Taking away the phone that suddenly vibrated, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at the caller ID in surprise.

"Wait a minute, Fujiko. I have a call here. I'll call you back later." Deliberately ignoring Fujiko's random shouting on the other end of the phone, something like 'Jing baby, you think others are more important than me', Shizuka Hiratsuka switched the call on her phone.

"Hi~Jing, did you miss me~"

"You know what, there really is a little bit." Listening to the lively voice coming from the phone, Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled and nodded.

"How are you, Koko?"
