Chapter 149 - Even Apart, We Will Always be Friends (1) (2/2)

“Now, would you like to join me for a little flexibility and exercise?”

“Sure. Officer Inoue, you have dan in judo, karate and kendo, right?”

“Just at a hobby level.”

… No, I’ve never seen anyone with that kind of humility who was weak. I can’t believe it.

“Kunpei.”

“Hmm?”

Huh? Did my dad wake up too?

He was sitting on a wooden chair on the deck, scratching his disheveled hair.

“Toshio-kun, is strong. You should let him play with you a bit.”

… If my dad says it, then it must be true.

This man, with a mysterious career, is honestly one of the strongest people I’ve ever met in my life. As far as humans go, that is.

It’s true that there are many strong beastmen, such as Seijitsu-san, Nanairo-san, and even prince Atol. But, to be honest, I can’t imagine my father losing to any of them.

Maybe it’s because I’m his son, but there’s something about this tired, middle-aged father that I can’t shake off.

That was the advice of such a father. I’ll listen to what he has to say.

“Officer Inoue, is that alright?”

“Uh, haha.”

Laughing with a troubled expression, Officer Inoue glanced sideways at my father.

“Toshio-kun, give him a light pat. He seem to be a little recklessly lately.”

“But…”

Hm?

Huh?

Isn’t he reacting like he’s already beaten me?

“Please!”

I’m a little irritated!

I feel like distorting that face of yours that looks so relaxed!

“Okay, then. Just a little.”

As he said this, Officer Inoue spread his legs wide and raised his arms in a stance.

I wonder if it’s a judo stance.

The ground is dirt, so I don’t think I’ll get hurt much, so why don’t I just jump in with some force?

Okay, let’s do that.

There’s nothing I can do if I’m scared.

I took a deep breath, lowered my hips and positioned myself.

I’m right-handed, so I want to make sure that I’m able to get the first shot with my right as hard as I can.

I exhale more than I inhaled, then inhale shallowly and held my breath.

Okay, I’m in perfect condition.

I’ve had a good night’s sleep and I’m fully conscious.

Now, I’m going to break through that composure.

“Then! Please…!”

My consciousness was cut off as I dove into Officer Inoue’s bosom, screaming.
