When people entered middle age, they would always sigh, "If only I could see my younger self again."

Before he found his successor, Midoriya Idehisa, Ormet would sometimes have this thought, because that way, he could protect the world a little longer, and let this peaceful life last a little longer …

After meeting Midoriya Idehisa, he naturally let go of this mentality … He was now in the role of a guide, so that Idehisa Boy could replace him as the new holder of OFA, the new Symbol of Peace.

However, something unexpected happened.

"Pfft — I didn't say that I really wanted to see my younger self, ahhhhh —" Ormet vomited blood as he looked at his old friend sitting in front of him.

V explained, "At the time, I thought I was hallucinating because of my injuries from the last incident."

"But this child really does exist … He's also a very warm-hearted child … He often comes to the police station to help out!"

V Inside Rectilinear took off the hat he often wore and joked, "And he's this year's Xiongying reference student … From my previous contact with him, he's quite good in all aspects … Should I say, as expected of your child?"

"…?

V Inside Rectilinear, stop talking, let me calm down … "

Looking at Ormet who was leaning against the wall and vomiting blood, V Inside Rectilinear was speechless.

V Inside Rectilinear could not help but wonder if the principal of Xiongying letting Ormet teach at Xiongying could really alleviate his injury …

"First, there was Idehisa Boy who was unwilling to take over OFA, then a child suddenly appeared …" Ormet, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, collapsed on the sofa in the police station, staring blankly at the ceiling. "… I've been really unlucky recently …"

"Eh?

There really is someone who is unwilling to accept your personality — haha. "

V Inside Rectilinear smiled as he poured a cup of freshly brewed tea and sat on the sofa. "What happened?"

"… I heard that a boy with no personality told him a few days ago that a boy with no personality could rely on himself to stand at the same height as others … To be honest, I'm quite supportive of this view, but … with Idehisa Boy's current strength, it's too difficult for him to enter Xiongying without accepting OFA …" Placing the back of his hand on his eyelids, Ormet felt an unprecedented fatigue hit him the moment he closed his eyes. "I can see that he's full of confidence for the future. He's no longer hesitant … but he's entered another dead end … Ah … I've already completed the plan, but I can't move on to the next step …"

"Well, this kind of thing can only wait for him to think it through on his own." She handed a cup of tea to the somewhat dispirited Ormet.

V Inside Rectilinear then brought up another person.

"You really don't want to meet that child?

At that time, I also thought that the sense of familiarity was just an illusion … But after I saw his surname, I thought of asking you to come over … Oh, by the way, I think he used to be called Ryōei Yōshō … "

Speaking of which,?

V Inside Rectilinear paused for a moment and sat up straight to look at Ormet beside him. With a serious expression, he said, "You know about it right?

… That [Lingshang Group] … "

"Ah … I know … Senpai Yōshō's company …" Ormet sat up on the sofa again. In this state, he was like a skeleton with his back hunched. He covered his face that was almost skin and bones. There was a low and depressing atmosphere around him as if he had fallen into an endless abyss. "Ah … it can only be Senpai Yōshō … But since that quarrel, Senpai hasn't replied to my message … Now that she has such a big child … it's …"

Someone else's private matter?

V Inside Rectilinear didn't know what to say. Looking at Ormet whose face was almost embedded in his hands, he could only roughly think for a moment and gave a seemingly reasonable suggestion, "Why don't you … go meet that child?

With the identity of [Ormet], no child would refuse a symbol of peace … "

"I hope so … Based on the current situation … this is the only way … Ah … I'm sorry … Is it troublesome?

V Inside Rectilinear … "

"Haha, it's okay. Ormet, you're still the same …"

It was night. Because he helped the nearby factories move a lot of waste during the day, Ryōei, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was already lying on the bed like a corpse, peacefully falling into a dream …

Ring, ring — —

The urgent doorbell rang throughout the entire mansion. Ryōei looked at the dark blue linen ceiling in front of him and sighed. He struggled to roll off the bed and lay on the carpet while yawning. He slowly sat up, put on his coat, and strode downstairs. He crossed the courtyard and walked to the front door.

"In the middle of the night … Could it be the enemy … After all, I've been exposed for a while …" Rubbing his sore arms, Ryōei picked up the [New Weapon] in the shape of a baseball bat that had just been painted. "With the level of security in the community, it can only be someone with a special personality to sneak in. They don't want to alert the enemy … They're planning to kidnap me …"

"But I'm thinking too much …" The teenager, who had been overly nervous recently, deduced the other party's information based on the location and rhythm of the knocks. He put down the baseball bat in his hand and opened the door helplessly. He opened his mouth wide and yawned. "Ah … Good evening … Grandpa Matsumoto, why aren't you sleeping at this late hour?"

In front of the door stood a skinny old man who was not even as tall as Ryōei. At this moment, he was holding two rabbits and was glaring at the extremely tired teenager in front of him who was wearing a baseball uniform and pajamas. "It's only nine o 'clock, okay?!

You're so young, but you're living like an old man!

Also … do you mean that you don't welcome me?! "

"I'm very sorry!!!

I didn't mean that at all!!! "

Looking at the youngster in front of him immediately bowing and apologizing energetically, the somewhat eccentric old man's expression finally softened. "Alright, I won't bicker with you anymore … I just went to the farm to hunt some rabbits. You're injured, eat more meat to nourish yourself. Here, take this."

Without any explanation, his empty hands were stuffed into the hands of two furry creatures that were kicking their legs. Ryōei smiled awkwardly and thanked him. "Ah … Haha … Thank you, Grandpa Matsumoto!

But then again … Did Grandpa Matsumoto come just for this?

Haha … "

"Of course not! Kid, look who's here!"

In the eyes of everyone in the neighborhood, Matsumoto's thoughts had always been very jumpy. Just like now, before he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out a huge shadow from beside him. The mountain-like figure instantly blocked all the moonlight that was falling from the eaves, making people lose sight of everything except the person in front of them …

He wasn't wearing his signature uniform, and there were no spotlights or cameras following his figure. However, Ryōei could still guess the identity of the person from the bulging muscles, the seemingly unchanging smile, and the hearty voice …

"All, all — might?!"

"Yes!

Kid!

I'm standing at the door like an ordinary person!!! "

It's Ormet …

Ormet …

It's Olmet! Ahhhhh!

The fifteen-year-old blonde teenager whose head was about to explode — Yoshihide Yagi. In this beautiful season of spring, where everything was recovering, for the first time in his life, he was only a quarter of a meter away from the idol he grew up with.

"Ahhhhh — Qiaodou Mai!

Benji!

Benji … "

The teenager hurriedly rushed into the inner courtyard with two rabbits in his arms. His legs were a little uncoordinated from running at a high speed. He was like the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was back at the door. He bent down, raised the benji over his head, and said respectfully,

"I'll have to trouble Ormet with an autograph!!!"

Ah … I used to tell my classmates to be reserved and polite when I met Ormet …

But now I'm panicking …

It's so embarrassing …

Will Ormet's impression of me decline …

Wow … Yoshihide Yagi, look at what you've done …

It's so embarrassing …

↑

The above was a deep self-reflection of a teenager who didn't show his flushed face because his head was facing the ground.

Just like before, Olmet, who still had the same smile on his face as he did on TV, but his true emotions could not be discerned, paused for a moment before he picked up his pen.

After some hesitation, in the end, Olmet acted according to the idea in his heart. At the end of the book, he added the unusual words' to '.

Ryōei]

"Well, child, can you invite me in for a seat …" Seeing Liang Ying excitedly close the book, the number one hero, who had been squatting because the door frame was too low, whispered to Liang Ying, "Let me tell you a secret, I think it's better for us to talk about some things inside …"

"— — Omar wants to ask if you want to join his firm after graduation," Matsumoto's grandpa said to Liang Ying excitedly, without the slightest bit of awkwardness from exposing someone else's secret. "Kid, Omar really admires your actions that time!

You're in luck!

That's Ormet!!! "

"Really?!"

Upon hearing Grandpa Matsumoto's words, the teenager with his blue eyes widened looked up at the "Symbol of Peace" in front of him, "Ormet invited me to his office …"

The number one hero looked at the old and young man beside him who looked like they were about to suffocate. He couldn't help but hold his forehead and smiled at the blonde teenager who was staring at him admiringly, "… I think we should go inside and talk. Otherwise, it's not a heroic act to disturb others if we're too loud …"

"Yes!

x2”

"…"

"Grandpa Matsumoto …"

"Brat!

Can't you let the old man's blood boil again?!

Are you looking down on me?! "

"I didn't mean that — I'm very sorry!!!"

The blonde teenager put his hands together and kept apologizing. As the "father" of the "child", Ormet seemed to see the shadow of himself in the person in front of him …

The young man with the same bright blonde hair closed his mouth and shrunk to the side of the door, watching the extremely subtle scene in front of him. He showed a complex expression of sadness and happiness that Ormet would never have.

"He really looks like me …"

"Senpai Yōshō …"
