Zongman, working as a teaching assistant in Trasen

Turning his head, meeting the silver-haired young man's blazing gaze, Uozuka Saburo narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked him up and down, and said, "This...Ajue, right? Judging from your appearance, you are also a good man who has tempered his muscles a lot - why, do you want to have a fight with me?"

"Yes, from the first moment I saw you, I was certain: you are a strong man."

Nodding and straightening his back, the silver-haired young man's eyes revealed a fighting spirit, and he said sincerely, "Besides, I have wanted to see for a long time what kind of man this training instructor is, who has the courage to face the darkness of Tresen and has impressed both Ms. Kitano and Chairman Akikawa!"

"Ha! So you already knew me!"

Surprise flashed across his face. Having somewhat anticipated the situation, Uozuka Saburo dropped his innocent facade. He turned his top hat and said with a bright smile, "Very well, if you're willing to ask me for advice, as an active teacher, I won't refuse."

"Yes! Please be generous..."

"Of course not!!!"

Seeing that her designated husband was about to be kidnapped by this wild uncle who appeared out of nowhere, the short-haired, ash-haired horse girl named Mejiro Alisa quickly grabbed Yagami Kaku's arm, puffed up her face and shouted, "Didn't you agree to accompany me to the dinner?! What's the matter with you suddenly running off with a stranger?!"

"Um... no, Alisa, I just felt the call of the fighting spirit, and I made a promise with Mr. Uozuka that it's a man-to-man relationship..."

"Between a man, a man, a man? You already have me! Do you still want to mess around with other women out there?!"

"...Sorry, I don't quite understand what you're saying, but it's indeed an invitation to a fight between men."

"You're actually still trying to fight! You, you, you, you, how many more emerald green hats do you want to put on me?!"

"......ah?"

Seeing the two handsome men and beautiful women talking at cross purposes, Uozuka Saburo wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Just then, he saw Huang Jinchuan recover from the pain of her little finger being cut in half and climb up. He leaned back a little and whispered to her:

"These two...interesting children, won't you introduce them to me, the teacher?"

"Huh? What's there to introduce? They're just a pair of shady bitches! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Okay, okay, I won't say anything! Ouch!"

Releasing the iron hand that was gripping the Golden Ship's temple, Uozuka Saburo saw the two men stop fighting and look at him with incredulous eyes. He smiled with a hint of confusion and said, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"...No, it's just..."

"...In my entire life, this is the first time I've seen a human being who can truly suppress Ah Chuan..."

After exchanging a glance with the young man named Ajuku, the short-haired, ashy-haired horsegirl Mejiro Alisa, who was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, sighed softly. She finally regained her composure, which was identical to Mejiro McQueen's unruly demeanor. She straightened her back demurely and said to Uozuka Saburo, "Nice to meet you, the new training instructor of the middle school of Tresen Academy! I am Mejiro Alisa, the sixth-generation horsegirl of the Mejiro family, and the cousin of the current young master, Mejiro McQueen. I'm very pleased to meet you!"

"I'm Yagami Kaku, and now I'm considered... a guest who accepts the favor of the Mejiro family and works for them."

One of the side quest targets of this banquet, Carl Armstrong, who goes by the alias Kaku Yagami, scratched his messy silver hair and said with a slightly wry smile.

Of course, Uozuka Saburo had recognized him a long time ago. After all, his photo was clearly posted at the top of the file by his eldest brother. Both his handsome features and unique silver hair were very eye-catching and it was difficult to ignore him.

But logically speaking, a small teacher like him shouldn't know the son of a U.S. Senator. Plus, this kid's personality... seems a little different from what is written in the information?

So I just went along with what he said. It seemed like we could surprisingly have a good chat on this kind of topic?

"Ahem, well, I'm their teacher after all, so she doesn't dare to really use force on me."

"No! You don't know, she a few years ago..."

"Isn't it almost time?"

She casually laughed off the potentially revealing topic, and without waiting for Alisa's rebuttal, she stood up, looked toward a door from which a noisy sound was coming, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the party... should be about to begin, right?"

"..."

"......oops!"

Chapter 86 Gathering Together

After parting with Mejiro Alisa who hurriedly pulled away Kaku Yagami, Uozuka Saburo and Koganefun waited for a while beside the school gate leading to the main venue. After making sure that no one noticed that someone had just come out from here, they walked out as if nothing had happened and blended into the spacious conference hall.

This was what Mejiro Alisa requested, saying that if four people acted together it would be too conspicuous, and that spreading out would help prevent certain people from flocking up to show their attention, and would also make it easier for them to act in secret.

————Although I felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this statement, considering that what I was wearing today was already very conspicuous and I had already experienced a "zombie siege" at the door, if I got involved with more ladies from the Mejiro family, it might be detrimental to my future horse girl teaching, so I agreed.

But this scene now... is really unexpected.

"Wow~ This is such a grand occasion!"

Looking at the densely packed crowd, whispering to each other, Huang Jinchuan couldn't help but whistle. He took Uozuka Saburo's arm and said, "I haven't seen so many people gathered at the Mejiro residence since I was ten years old. It's really lively~~"

"......Um."

As the Golden Ship had said, the number of people attending the banquet was truly beyond imagination, and...they were all of high status:

Chief Superintendent of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Toshio Odagiri, head of the Suzuki Group Shiro Suzuki, leader of the large social organization Shuei-gumi Makoto Ichijo, president of the large social organization Tojo-kai Masaru Sera, head of the Aoto Group Aoto Ryuyama, diplomat Kimie Tsujimura, Japanese Senator Abe Eizo... and so on.

"The mafia, the police, the politicians, the businessmen."

Pulling his top hat down slightly, Uozuka Saburo let out a silent breath, revealing a flawless smile as he said, "More than half of the top figures in Tokyo are here. Your Mejiro family is really influential~"

"Hey, hey, don't involve me. I'm not from the Mejiro family."

Curling his lips, seeing that no one had noticed their strangely dressed figures, Huang Jinchuan quietly leaned over to Uozuka Saburo's ear and said, "Let me tell you... these guys are incredibly boring. They're just playing dumb all day long. It's giving me a headache, and I still can't understand what they're saying. They look well-dressed, but they don't actually have any good intentions!"

...Thank you, I understand your meaning.

And how dare you say that to me!? The most duplicitous and unruly girl??

Saburo Uozuka looked at her strangely as she thought.

Fortunately, the girl's mind was focused on the crowd at this time, otherwise, with her bad temper, she would have pulled his hat off!

"Oh! I saw Alisa, grinning like a slut with that white-haired boy! Her expression is so funny!" Huang Jinchuan suddenly spoke, cupping his left hand in front of his eyes. "And there's Asami-sama! Hahaha~ Marriage is so different. Such a broad chest, such a voluptuous buttocks - wow, it's amazing!"

"..."

"Ohhh! Isn't that Aldan-san? I miss you so much when you came back! And little Guangming~ Haha, so cute!"

Golden Ship, inexplicably excited, no longer caring about his image, dragged Uozuka Saburo with one hand towards a wide-view area beside the venue. With the other hand, he pretended to rotate his eye socket to adjust the focus and jokingly said, "Let me see, let me see~ Where is our protagonist tonight? Could it be that he was trapped to death by a few hungry jackals? Did something unspeakable happen? Hehehehe!?"

"... Tell me, who is going to have something unspeakable happen to them?!"

"......Eh?"

He turned his head while looking through the telescope, and suddenly saw a soft and plump belly. Huang Jinchuan was stunned for a moment, then he said subconsciously: "Wow! This is really a piece of 5A-grade fat colt meat..."

Phew.

“…Mea ...

"..."

"...I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Uozuka."

He wiped his fingers with a napkin from the table beside him, then changed into a more gorgeous dress. As he strolled along the wall, Mejiro McQueen seemed like a completely different person, brimming with elegance and dignity. "I was preoccupied with some trivial matters and failed to bring you here. This is my fault. Please move freely around the scene and enjoy the banquet!"

"...Well, would you like to have a piece of cake first?"

Uozuka Saburo casually picked up a piece of exquisite pastry that looked delicious and held it in front of her.

"Eh!? Is it okay? I'm not polite..."

"...(bracket laugh)"

"Ahem... no thanks, this is for the guests, I can't eat it without permission."

Wiping away the saliva that had overflowed from the corner of his mouth at the speed of light, Mebai McQueen glared at Uozuka Saburo with full force, and said with a hint of gritted teeth, "This exquisite, delicious, and top-quality pastry is for you to...enjoy yourself! Gu."

"...Really? Chew chew chew chew chew. This cake, chew chew chew chew, tastes really, chew chew chew chew chew, delicious, oh? Gulp."

"...Gulp. You! You bastard!!! Hmph!"

Looking at Mejiro McQueen who finally realized that he had been fooled and turned away with an indignant look on his face, Uozuka Saburo wiped his mouth very naturally and revealed an evil smile.

"Kuwa... You look just like the disgusting villain in some anime who kidnaps the heroine and licks her with his tongue!"

At some point, his eyes regained consciousness. As if nothing had happened, Golden Ship leisurely leaned against Uozuka Saburo's back, quickly chewing the remaining cake on the table and saying, "Hehe~ If I take a picture of your expression right now and send it to those students who admire you, what do you think they'll think~?"

"...You'd probably be wondering why there's a bald ponygirl in the academy, spreading rumors about the heroic teacher."

"...Huh~ That's terrible, I didn't expect you to be such a teacher."

"Hey! You."

"Hee hee~"

Wiping the cream from the corner of her mouth, she casually smeared it on Uozuka Saburo's tuxedo. Taking advantage of Uozuka Saburo's inability to react, Huang Jinchuan nimbly slipped to the other side of the table. She made a face at him and ran away without looking back: "My mission as your female companion to help you sneak in has been completed! Now you can go and have fun on your own. Bye~~~"

"You... Tsk. Ugh."

Feeling that some eyes were already being cast at him, Uozuka Saburo realized that he couldn't stop her, so he had to give up. He stood there, trying to find a way to remove the stain from his tuxedo while thinking about how to carry out his social plans.

But at this moment, a calloused hand in a white suit suddenly appeared in his sight, and at the same time, a slightly dull male voice came:

"Here, this is an alcohol pad. It will be more effective if you use this to wipe off food residues."

"......Thanks."

Chapter 87 Kiryu Kazuma

Feeling a certain pressure for a moment, Uozuka Saburo almost couldn't help but want to fight back, but he stopped himself with his willpower. He took the alcohol cotton pad as usual, raised his head and looked to the side:

He wore an off-white suit jacket and trousers, a red shirt with an open collar, thick black hair that was meticulously styled with hairspray, a pair of sword-like eyebrows twisted into a "川" shape in the middle, and the naturally drooping corners of his mouth, forming a domineering face that was intimidating without even being angry.

The underworld...and not just any underworld.

They are the kind of gangsters who strictly adhere to the glory of the underworld, follow the old-fashioned and traditional lifestyle, and will never do anything that puts personal interests above public interests. They can almost be called "heroes".

In an instant, he felt alert... and nostalgic.

"Is that your horse girl?"

"...No, it's not."

Shaking his head, he folded the used cotton pad and handed it to the waiter who came over. Uozuka Saburo stood parallel to the man, looking out at the crowded banquet hall and said, "She's one of the many horse girls I've mentored. She's a bit playful and doesn't have a good sense of distance."

"Wow... So, you're the righteous instructor, Uozuka Saburo, who saved Miss Mejiro and drove away the negligent teacher?"

The man in the white suit nodded slightly, crossed his arms, and said, "No wonder you look so unfamiliar. I should know all the men who are close to the Mejiro family's horse girls. If it's you, then it won't be surprising."

"...Um, who are you?"

"Ah, I'm so sorry for introducing myself so late."

Pulling a business card from his jacket pocket and handing it to Uozuka Saburo, the man in the white suit tilted his head, raised his hand, and said, "I'm the assistant to the Dojima Group of the Tojo Clan, my younger brother, Kiryu Kazuma, and also a horsegirl trainer. Seeing that you looked familiar and were chatting so happily with that Golden Ship, I was curious and came up to talk to you. Please forgive me if this is offensive."

"Dojima Group...Kiryu Kazuma."

It turned out to be him...

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the business card, Uozuka Saburo unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, but then immediately restrained it. He nodded as if nothing had happened and said, "So it's the famous 'Dragon of Dojima'. Nice to meet you."

"Oh? You... have heard of me?"

Kiryu Kazuma narrowed his eyes slightly, his aura rising slightly, and he subconsciously put pressure on Uozuka Saburo: "Where did you hear this name from? Or... are you someone from this place?"

"Haha~ It used to be, but it's no longer."

Completely ignoring the slight, non-threatening feeling of pressure, Uozuka Saburo tapped the ridiculous top hat on his head and smiled sincerely, saying, "I heard about your deeds more than ten years ago: a young newcomer to the group, who, in a fit of rage, fell for his benefactor, quit the group, cleaned himself up, then caused a commotion in Osaka, repaid the favor, and returned to his original organization. In just a few years, he quickly became a top fighter and was highly regarded by the team leader. Such a legendary experience, even if you only hear it once, you will never forget the protagonist's name: Kiryu, Kazuma."

"...I didn't expect to run into someone from the same period here."

He reached into his pocket but found nothing. Then he remembered that a certain expressionless girl had forcibly searched him and taken away all his cigarettes before he left the house. Kiryu Kazuma had no choice but to change his posture. He took a sip of a low-alcohol drink from the table and said, "Please don't mention it anymore. It's all... just a thing of the past."

"Yeah... after so many years, not only you, but I have changed a lot."

Nodding his top hat and waving his cane, Uozuka Saburo struck a comical pose like a true clown and said, "Who would have thought that two former gangsters would now accept an invitation as educators and stand peacefully together here?"

"Well...but you're qualified to be an educator or something like that. I don't dare to be one."

Kiryu Kazuma picked up a piece of dried meat from the table and chewed it. His expression remained unchanged, but his demeanor had softened considerably. "It's just a mission assigned by the team. That little girl doesn't seem to like me much either. I'm only here because of the approval of the boss above me, not my own ability."

"What does it matter?" Uozuka Saburo said nonchalantly. "Whatever means, whatever method, as long as it doesn't violate our conscience or the rules, even a little bit of good luck won't hurt, right?"

"...Well, you're right. You're worthy of being called the 'iron-faced instructor' who dares to stop an unscrupulous teacher in public. I've learned my lesson."
