The Gaze from the Older Father

Fanba Dojo.

Unlike most dojos, the main building of Fanba Dojo is located underground.

After entering the gate, pass through the hall, and travel up and down via an elevator-like teleportation device, finally arriving at the battlefield located on the ground floor.

and.

In addition to being a dojo, this place also serves as a mine. The dojo members dig underground and then use conveyor belts to transport the ore to the upper level.

Therefore, there are many steel frames and large searchlights underground.

The dojo staff are mostly located underground.

According to the description of purple taro.

After Kiku became the head of the Fanba Dojo, he specially rebuilt the Fanba Dojo here.

One important reason is that...

The mine beneath the current Fanba Dojo was painstakingly dug out by Kiku-sensei and Excadrill when Kiku-sensei was young.

This is where Boss Ju made his fortune.

and.

The members of Fanba Dojo are mostly employees of Kiku-sensei's company.

Wearing work clothes, a safety helmet, and holding a pickaxe.

Basically, everyone in the dojo is dressed the same way.

People who don't know the situation might even think they've entered the mining association when they walk in.

After leading the two to the entrance of the Fanba Dojo.

Looking at the huge, tightly closed metal door in front of me.

Ziyu stood still, then took a deep breath.

"Natsuki!"

Ziyu looked at Xia Mu with a serious expression.

"Actually, there's something I've been keeping from you!"

? ?

Xia Mu's eyes were filled with doubt.

No.

What kind of flag should you set at this time?

Even if I come back from the gym battle, I will not marry you.

"Actually, my father is the headmaster of the Fanba Dojo, Boss Kiku!"

"..."

Xia Mu glanced at Wanlong beside him, and Wanlong also glanced at Xia Mu.

At last.

The two discovered it.

Purple Taro is serious.

"Uh, I know about that!"

"Yes, Natsuki knows!"

???

Ziyu was stunned.

Then her face turned red.

"But I never said that! How did you know?"

"Well, anyway, that's how I found out!"

"What do you mean by 'this' and 'that'?!"

The purple taro broke through its defenses.

Since I woke up today, I have been constantly betrayed by Xia Mu.

Each and every one of these incidents is too numerous to recount.

Thinking back to my serious and earnest self just now, and then recalling the guilt and unease I felt ever since I learned that Natsuki was going to challenge the Fanba Dojo.

I never told Natsume Fanba Dojo that it's my family's dojo. Was that a bit inappropriate?

Is it wrong to keep things from your friends?

Looking back on the internal struggles I've gone through.

Think about what happened today.

At this moment, Ziyu wished she could pin Xiamu to the ground and beat him up.

Seeing Ziyu's blushing face, most people would immediately step forward to comfort her.

but.

Summer trees are different.

He has no heart.

"Wanlong, there's something I've been keeping from you!"

"What is it?"

"Actually, I'm a person!"

"No!!! I don't believe it!!"

"Hahaha!" x2

The two idiots were jumping around wildly in the purple taro minefield, laughing like animals.

But Ziyu clearly doesn't like this art form.

"Forget about what just happened!!"

now.

What kind of lady?

Ziyu completely forgot about all manners and upbringing.

All she wants now is for Xia Mu to feel pain.

Just as Ziyu was holding Xia Mu down, preparing to beat the bastard to a pulp.

Click~

The massive metal gate of the Fanba Dojo burst open with a roar.

Kiku-sama, who had come to the dojo entrance after receiving news about purple taro, froze.

"Purple Taro, you..."

Seeing their little princess riding on a strange man, her face flushed red.

Even though Boss Ju has experienced countless trials and tribulations over the years.

But for a moment, he was stunned and stood there.

Ziyu was also taken aback when she turned around upon hearing the familiar voice.

"dad......"

He glanced at Natsuki, whom he had pinned down, and then at his elderly father, who stood dumbfounded at the entrance of the dojo.

Ziyu remained silent for a moment.

Suddenly, the conversation I had with Xia Mu came to mind.

"Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up if you act like this every day?"

"Don't be afraid, I can run!"

Is running away helpful?

"Running away is shameful, but it's useful!"

The conversation from that day is so clear to me for some reason.

"I'm not Ziyu, you've mistaken me for someone else!!"

At this moment, the purple taro seemed to be possessed by Usain Bolt.

In the blink of an eye.

Ziyu had already completed the actions of covering her face, getting up, and running.

In the blink of an eye.

Several meters away.

Another blink.

There was no sign of anyone.

Seeing this, Xia Mu couldn't help but marvel.

"As expected, when stimulated, humans can unleash unimaginable power!"

stare!!

Boss Ju focused his gaze on the man in front of him.

This is after he and his little princess played around and frolicked.

He made his little princess cover her face and run away.

And then there was the man who was still marveling at it.

"Ha! Kid, you're here to challenge the dojo, aren't you?!"

Old Master Ju gave a forced smile.

The way he looked at Xia Mu was as if he were looking at a dead person.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

At this moment, Boss Ju was already trying to find out where Xia Mu had been buried!

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Xia Mu's biological intuition issued a frantic warning.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Before Boss Ju could reply.

After refusing the three times, Xia Mu turned around and tried to run away.

but.

Snapped!

Those large, calloused hands, which had been gripping a pickaxe for years, slammed down hard on Xia Mu's shoulder.

Despite his advancing age, Old Master Ju's reactions are by no means slow.

"Don't be afraid, gym leaders have a responsibility to teach trainers!"

The pronunciation of the word "teach" was particularly heavy.

It clearly has a hidden meaning.

Realizing this, Xia Mu naturally wouldn't sit idly by and immediately grabbed the metal door.

Kiku grabbed Natsuki's shoulder and pulled him into the dojo.

Although I don't know what I'll encounter once I go in.

But Xia Mu is certain.

I'm sure I won't like what happens after I go in.

and so.

With her right hand, featuring distinct knuckles, gripping the door, Xia Mu extended her left hand towards Wanlong.

Snapped!

？ ！！

The expression on Wanlong's face, who was trying to make himself invisible, froze.

"No, what are you doing?! Let go!"

"Even if I have to go to hell, I'll take you with me!!"

"I #￥%#……%￥"

The dragon was about to unleash a torrent of profanities.

Throughout the entire Unova League, Wanlong is not afraid of Champion Alice, the League President, or the other Elite Four members.

There were only two people who could frighten her.

One is Shaka, the principal of the Twin Dragon Academy she once attended and the head of the Dragon-type Gym.

The other one is the strict and ruthless Boss Ju.

There wasn't really any reason.

It's just an instinct to feel afraid when I see Boss Ju with his cold face.

This left Wanlong completely baffled.

Not only is the all-Dark-type Blueberry not afraid, it even teases the creature from time to time.

But in front of the ground-type boss, Kiku, he was always as quiet as a chicken.

but.

Xia Mu didn't care about any of that.

He felt that even if he were to die, he would take Wanlong with him.

This guy was clearly in the skit just now.

Why should I be the one to get arrested?!

and so.

To prevent the dragon from escaping, Xia Mu added fuel to the fire for Boss Ju.

"Boss Ju, we can't let the bad guys get away with this!"

"This guy even sneaked into the police station with purple taro to steal things, and then he got caught by Officer Jenny!"

"Slander! He slandered me..."

but.

At this moment, Ju Laoda had no interest in distinguishing right from wrong.

Upon hearing that these two had actually brought Ziyu into the police station, Boss Ju's eyes widened in disbelief.

The veins on his right hand were bulging.

A hard.

boom!

The gate was tightly shut.

Wanlong and Xiamu were dragged into the dark dojo like grasshoppers on a rope.
