Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn to look at Kitagawa Yu, a bright smile on her face.

"Why? Why is Master so good to me? We've only known each other for less than 24 hours, but it feels like we've known each other for many, many years."

"Ah! Am I like those shallow girls, feeling a sense of closeness to a handsome and gentle guy like Master?"

"No, no, no, that can't be true. After all, I do have someone I like!"

"I wonder how Kousei is doing, and whether he's been practicing his performance pieces diligently."

"What are you thinking about?" Kitagawa Yu asked, noticing her absent-minded expression.

"It's nothing!"

Kaori Miyazono snapped out of her daze, glanced at him quickly, and then felt inexplicably guilty.

"By the way, Master, are we going to cultivate here?"

"correct."

"But won't I be disturbed or have my skills stolen if I cultivate here?"

"You really think too much!" Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile.

"The breathing technique is actually a simulation of the power of the sun. It might not be entirely accurate, but that's the general idea. So practicing under the sun is just right. As for being disturbed, when you reach the highest level of the breathing technique, you'll breathe according to the technique even when you're sound asleep. So, do you think you're afraid of being disturbed?"

"Wow! Maintaining breathing techniques while sleeping? That's incredible! Is it even possible for anyone to do that?"

Kaori Miyazono couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what level have you reached in your breathing technique?"

"I cultivate a different, more violent form of thunder breathing. As for my cultivation level—"

Kitagawa Yu thought for a moment, then stretched out his right hand. The next second, golden lightning appeared on his hand, even more dazzling than the sunlight.

This time, Kaori Miyazono was completely stunned. Her eyes widened and her mouth was agape in an "O" shape.

It wasn't until Kitagawa Yu stopped using lightning that she finally snapped out of her shock.

"Master, you—"

"This is the power one can possess when a breathing technique is mastered to a high level. Besides this, there are also Flame Breathing, Sun Breathing, Wind Breathing, Water Breathing, and so on. Now do you believe I wasn't lying to you?"

"Uh-huh!"

Kaori Miyazono nodded excitedly.

After witnessing this incredible scene with her own eyes, she truly believed Kitagawa Yu's words this time.

"Master! Master! Let's get started quickly!"

Seeing her impatient expression, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

To be honest, Japan is quite accepting of supernatural things like gods and monsters; otherwise, there wouldn't be hundreds of thousands of shrines in such a small country.

He then pushed Kaori Miyazono in his wheelchair to a relatively quiet spot in the park, ready to begin his training for the day.

But just then, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out from not far away.

"Huh? Xiao Xun?"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

A handsome young man with long brown hair, wearing jeans and a yellow long-sleeved knit sweater, was carrying a bag of fruit meant as a gesture of goodwill and looking this way. However, the smile on his face gave off a frivolous feeling.

Kaori Miyazono also saw the boy, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Eh? Watari-kun? Wow! You came to see me?"

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Yu suddenly looked enlightened.

"So this guy is Watari Ryota. He's so handsome, and the captain of the soccer club. He'll probably become a professional player someday. No wonder he's so popular with girls. But the nickname 'Watari-kun' is..."

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but find it amusing, because he remembered very clearly that Miyazono Kaori always used the most intimate term "Kousei" when addressing Arima Kousei, whether in public or in private.

"So this guy probably knew that Kaoru actually liked Kousei Arima, right? He was just attracted to the lively and cute Kaoru and unconsciously fell in love with her."

Kitagawa Yu thought to himself silently.

On the other side, Ryota Watari had already run over quickly with fruit in his arms.

"Yeah! It finally stopped raining today, and since it's the weekend, I came to see you!"

"."

Kitagawa Yu didn't know what Miyazono Kaori was thinking after hearing this, but he couldn't help but want to laugh.

However, most students in Japan are quite shy and not frank about relationships, so he didn't find it strange.

Thank you!

Kaori Miyazono happily reached out and took the fruit, placing it on her lap.

Seeing this, Ryota Watari couldn't help but ask, "Kaoru, is that your leg?"

"It's nothing. Master was just worried that I'd get too tired walking down, so he insisted I use a wheelchair. It's really unnecessary. You'll see!"

As she spoke, Kaori Miyazono stood up from her wheelchair, holding the fruit, and spun around.

Ryota Watari breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"Oh, I see. You startled me. By the way, who is this?"

"This is my master—"

Kaori Miyazono explained with a smile.

However, she suddenly realized that apart from knowing Kitagawa Yu's name, she seemed to know nothing else about him.

It's a bit strange, but I'm mostly curious about Kitagawa Yu.

"By the way, Master is Ayumi-nee's boyfriend, so he must be a second-year student at Sakuraba High School?"

“My name is Kitagawa Yu, a second-year student at Sakuraba High School, and I’m this guy’s mentor.”

Kitagawa Yu's self-introduction confirmed her suspicions, making her feel inexplicably smug.

Ryota Watari assumed that Yu Kitagawa was her violin teacher, so he wasn't surprised by the title.

"Hello senior, my name is Watari Ryota, and I am Kaoru's classmate."

"I've heard of you, the president and captain of the soccer club. You're quite popular with the girls at your school!"

"Hehe, senior, you flatter me too much~"

Ryota Watari didn't stay there for long; he took his leave after only about ten minutes.

Kaori Miyazono was already used to this. Ryota Watari was a corporate tycoon with many friends, and he already had a girlfriend, so he didn't have enough time.

"Then I'll leave first."

"Well, bye~"

"By the way, there's a soccer match between our middle school and Fengcheng Middle School next Friday. Do you have time to come to school?"

"Um... I'm sorry, I don't know either."

"Okay then! Bye-bye~"

Kaori Miyazono smiled and waved, then looked away a moment later, her gaze fixed intently on Yu Kitagawa.

"Hey, Master, how did you find out about Watari Ryo-kun? You wouldn't happen to be... a fan of mine, would you?"

Kitagawa Yu was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Yeah, I've actually been keeping an eye on you. I know everything, like how you confessed to Watari Ryo-kun, and how you actually like Arima Kousei~"

"Uh--"

Kaori Miyazono's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at him with disbelief.

This time she was truly shocked, because these were secrets that even Ayumi didn't know.

It took her a while to come to her senses. She looked at Kitagawa Yu suspiciously and muttered to herself, "Master, you're not a pervert, are you?"

"Hehe! It's only because you're still sick that I'd let you experience my 'iron fist of love'!" Kitagawa Yu rubbed her head vigorously, making her originally smooth blonde hair a mess.

However, Kaori Miyazono wasn't angry at all; instead, she burst out laughing, clearly indicating that she was just joking.

"Well, even if he's a pervert, I can only accept it. After all, I'm my master's disciple~" Kaori Miyazono said with a grin.

It wasn't because Kitagawa Yu could cure her terminal illness; it was simply the unprecedented familiarity, warmth, and care that made her recognize Kitagawa Yu as her 'master'.

"By the way, Master, since you know about Kousei-kun, you should also know about Tsubaki, right?"

"I know, she's Kousei Arima's childhood friend. She's a girl with a similar brain to Ayumi, but not as frank as Ayumi."

"Master, it's impolite of you to talk to girls like that, not even behind their backs!"

"But that's really how she is~"

“Okay,” Kaori Miyazono thought for a moment, then fell silent.

"Master, if I recover from my illness, should I stay away from Gong Shengjun? After all, Xiao Chun loves Gong Shengjun so much, she has loved him for so many years."

"But didn't you also have a crush on her for many years?"

Kitagawa Yu's question immediately made Miyazono Kaori blush. She cutely fidgeted with her fingers and said coquettishly, "Master, how do you even know this? You're so annoying!"

Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but smile and patted her head again: "I know more than just that. I also know that Arima Kousei likes you."

"Eh eh eh?!"

"But he also likes Sawabe Tsubaki, and Sawabe Tsubaki has been working hard to study so that she can attend the same high school with a music class as Arima Kousei in the future."

"."

Kaori Miyazono fell silent.

Kitagawa Yu, on the other hand, was quite relaxed.

Unlike his feelings for Ai, he did like Kaori Miyazono, but he also liked Tsubaki very much. So he would support Kousei Arima in choosing either of them, and he wouldn't object even if Kousei took both of them. He simply didn't want Kaori Miyazono to die.

"Alright, let's think about these things after you recover. There's plenty of time in the future."

"Yes, Master, I understand!"

Kaori Miyazono quickly cheered up and her face once again showed a bright and energetic smile.

"Ever since that hospitalization in the first year of junior high, I've never thought about what my future will be like. But I know that no matter what my future holds, I will always have a master in it!"
