I'm having fun in Tokyo

Aso Tatsuya didn't have any particular talents, except that his academic performance was decent.

If Aso Tatsumi also regarded him as his life goal, it could only have become a tragedy.

"Asou-kun, can you tell me what you want to do in the future?"

Morikawa Yu stared intently into Aso Tatsuya's eyes with a serious expression.

Chapter 43 What should I do if I'm too popular?

Aso Tatsuya was slightly taken aback.

He took a deep breath, and then his gaze became firm.

"In the future, I want to go to police academy and work for the Metropolitan Police Department after graduation."

"Is it because of what happened yesterday?"

Morikawa Yu continued to press for answers.

He was terrified that Tatsuya Aso would say he wanted to become a swordsman like him.

But since Aso Tatsu didn't say that, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Morikawa-san."

"I was deeply moved when I saw you help me and that monster lady yesterday, and I want to do the same thing as you."

"But I also know that I don't have any special talent, and I can't do what you do."

"So I decided to be down-to-earth, do what I could, and go to police academy."

"Even as an ordinary police officer, I can still help others."

Morikawa Yu sighed as she looked at the longing in his eyes.

I'm glad you think that way.

"But being a police officer might not be as easy as you think."

"Of course I know it's not easy. Inspector Kurokawa and Officer Fujii talked to me a lot yesterday."

"But as long as it can help people like I used to be, I'm willing to do my best."

Morikawa Yu stopped talking.

He felt that he saw a reflection of his past life in Tatsuya Aso.

"Then I won't try to persuade you anymore, Aso-kun."

"But have you ever considered that your father's file is still in the Metropolitan Police Department's records?"

You probably won't be able to get a job at the Metropolitan Police Department.

Aso Tatsuya fell silent.

But after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly spoke again.

"But the shrine priest of Asada Shrine can help me persuade the Metropolitan Police Department, right?"

"What I do know is that she stopped my father back then and saved many people."

“I don’t blame her at all, because I understand that she was the one who disguised herself and sponsored my schooling all these years under the guise of being my aunt.”

"Without her, I wouldn't have made it this far."

"Since she told me she wanted me to get on the right path and not end up like my father, then I want to join the Metropolitan Police Department and become a police officer. She will definitely help me."

Morikawa Yu glanced at him in surprise.

It has to be said that this guy's analysis does make some sense, and Aunt Liangzi might actually help him.

Moreover, out of respect for Kondo Ryoko, the Metropolitan Police Department might actually give him special treatment.

"I understand, but when did you find out about this, Aso-kun?"

"Inspector Kurokawa and the others told me that yesterday."

Morikawa Yu nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Aso Tatsuya lowered his head, but his shoulders were slightly hunched, as if he were encouraging himself.

After a while, he finally raised his head and looked at Morikawa Yu.

"Mr. Morikawa, you are my goal in life."

"Could you please give me a blessing?"

"If you would be so kind, I would be eternally grateful."

Aso Tatsuya's voice trembled slightly as he spoke the last sentence, and he added honorifics.

Morikawa Yu's heart trembled.

Aso Tatsuya seems to take this matter very seriously.

This guy was dragged down by his father and fell into the shadow of his life.

Even with Aunt Ryoko's secret help over the years, she was almost dragged into the abyss again by Furunozugawa.

His appearance gave him hope and ultimately helped him get back on the right path.

Perhaps, a simple blessing from me would be more sacred than anything else in his eyes.

"Okay, Aso-kun."

His expression was extremely serious.

I wish you all the best right now.

I hope you can do what you told me to do today.

"And I promise you, if you can truly do it, when you stand under Sakurada's tutelage next year, I will personally draw my sword to cheer you on."

Aso Tatsuya looked at Morikawa Yu gratefully, his eyes flashing, and bowed deeply again...

A few minutes later, Morikawa Yu returned to the school gate, feeling completely relaxed.

Being able to become someone's idol and life goal, and genuinely giving them the motivation to move forward, makes them feel very happy.

What he didn't expect was that someone he never expected was standing at the school gate.

Sakurai Emi, the vice-captain of his kendo club, greeted him rudely.

"Hey, Minister!"

Morikawa Yu looked at her and smiled.

He was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with her.

But her appearance suddenly made him want to tease her.

He took a few steps closer to her and whispered in her ear.

"Ah, isn't this our club's cutest girl, Emi?"

"What, you were waiting for me here?"

Sakurai Emi's face visibly turned red.

"Minister, stop being so cheeky."

"Stay away from me. Do you want other girls to think I'm a rival in love?"

She reached out, trying to push Morikawa away, but he grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

"But I like it, isn't that enough?"

Sakurai Emi's face turned even redder.

Morikawa Yu wanted to tease her a bit more, but then she heard the teacher cough twice on purpose.

Not far away, several girls' gazes also changed.

His expression turned serious, and he released Sakurai Emi's hand.

"Sorry, just kidding."

"A joke, just a joke?"

Sakurai Emi paused for a moment, then glared at him.

But seeing his silent smile, her face flushed even more.

She deliberately looked towards the spot where Morikawa Yu and Aso Tatsuya had just been.

"Who is that guy? Why is he so grateful to you?"

"It's nothing, just some unlucky guy I rescued from a group of yakuza a few days ago. He came to thank me today."

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

"Or what did you think it was?"

"Another guy like Kondo Kiyoshi?"

"Oh, who knows?"

"You always rely on your good looks, good grades, and kendo skills to break girls' hearts."

"Where can I have it?"

"Where is it not?"

"Putting everything else aside, how do you explain what happened with Kondo?"

"That's her business, why should I interfere?"

"It's too popular, is it my fault?"

The two of them chatted idly as they walked through the school gate, amidst the somewhat envious glances of passersby...

After finishing her class and then her afternoon classes, Morikawa Yu arrived at the kendo clubhouse and went up to the second floor.

He entered the office and saw Maki Hojo looking at something.

"Teacher, what are you looking at?"

He asked a question, and Hojo Maki looked up and waved what she was holding at him.

"newspaper"

"newspaper?"

Morikawa Yu was somewhat surprised.

In his mind, only those guys who sit in government offices all day would like to read newspapers.

Ignoring his surprise, Hojo Maki handed him the newspaper.

"Would you like to take a look too?"

"Although your name wasn't mentioned, the report focused on what you did yesterday."

Morikawa Yu immediately became interested.

He took the newspaper, only to find that it wasn't the large headline he had imagined, but rather a small section.

The notice stated that due to a turf war among yakuza groups, the owner of a construction company, Furuno Tsugawa, was accidentally killed, and the matter is currently being handled.

Morikawa Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat disappointed.

"Isn't this completely ignoring me?"

"There's nothing we can do; this is the Metropolitan Police Department's decision. After all, the Furunozugawa case involves yokai (supernatural beings), and it can't be made public."

"However, they have prepared an award ceremony for you."

"An award ceremony?"

"Yes, it was decided this morning, and they asked me to help you tell you."

"Do you want to go?"
