I need your help

(An: Another chapter for this novel!)

Chapter 9

''ARIMA!''

A loud voice comes out of the office!

A black shadow launches out from the room with a powerful momentum toward Arima.

With a powerful force, a kick from a slender leg got planted on Arima's face, right into his cheeks!

*BAAM!*

''Mono- Cough!'' said Arima before got launched from the kick and then got planted into the wall.

Blood trace appears from the tip of Arima's mouth, and then his neck got caught by a woman!

''I thought, you will never dare to meet me again!'' said a woman in her 30s or 40s with black hair. She was wearing a black suit that matches well with her strong yet slender figure.

''Arima!'' She added while gripping Arima's neck!

''I-I need your help, Monomi!'' Arima replied with a struggle.

Even though he can run and easily evade the attack from the woman, Arima has not even tried to dodge at all as he tried to receive the fury of this woman!

"Arima. You used to be somewhat of a hero back in your prime days. But now you spend your days live in a secluded place! That no one even knew!'' Monomi said while taking a punching pose with her other hand.

''At first, I tried to find you and beat you to the death. But I never believed that you would dare to call me casually after a long time to take care of your own problem from out of nowhere!"

''Die, You asshole!'' Monomi shouts on top of his lung while her fist got transformed into a bear paw and starts punching toward Arima's face.

(Ah, She still has a temper like this even though two of us are already old!) Arima let out a small sigh that seemed to overflow with a sense of acceptance of his fate and many other unknown emotions.

Meanwhile, on the side, we can see Tatsumi that only staring at this fight with a pout on his face.

(These two? Do they not consider my existence here at all?!) Tatsumi thought while muttered, ''Alpha scan her power level!''

[Ding!]

[She was a guaranteed has b-ranks power level!]

(Sigh, Old-man, you can run, but you!) Tatsumi thought while observing the expression of Arima, which a full sense of assent!

''Stop...!'' Tatsumi calmly said while activating Insight and then appear between Arima and Monomi!

''Wha-,'' Monomi shouts in shock because suddenly an unknown boy appears in front of her!

''Parry!''

A steel baton appears on his hand, and then he fends Monomi's attack while deflecting it into a wall.

''Are you two not ashamed fighting in front of a child!'' Tatsumi said while coldly staring at Arima and Monomi!

(Sigh, at least parry c-ranks can deflect that punch!) Tatsumi thought while making the steel baton in his hand disappear!

(He can deflect my punch?) Monomi thought with a baffled expression because she doesn't expect an eight-year-old child deflecting his attack.

Even if the child has a superhuman quirk, which enhanced their strength, an ordinary child shouldn't be able to deflect her attack without any damage.

''Arima, this boy?'' Monomi asked while releasing her hand grip from Arima's neck.

''Cough, Cough...''

''He is my grandson,!'' Arima said while rubbing his sore neck.

''I already said that in the call, right.'' He added while sighed a breath of relief.

(Even though I know that she will not kill me, It's still feel good to be saved by Tatsumi! He even can deflect her punch!) Arima thought while proudly staring at his grandson.

Arima knew that Tatsumi has been exercising and training himself when he doesn't learn the blacksmith skill that he teaches.

(He even tried to temper his body at the waterfall! Even his body became red after the training!) Arima thought.

''Hmmph! So, you're his grandson!'' Monomi said with a stare toward Tatsumi while tapping her leg into the floor. Staring at Tatsumi, She found many similar traits from Arima!

''Yeah, do you have any problem with that!'' Tatsumi replied while hostilely staring at Monomi, and he even ready to attack her with a vital strike if needed.

''Are you sure that he was not your biological grandson? His attitude and looks almost the same when you were young!'' Monomi asked while stretching her hand to touch Tatsumi's cheeks.

*Slap!*

''Don't touch me!'' Tatsumi said while slapping away Monomi's hands.

(Yep, This handsome boy really is his grandson, everything matches up, his attitude, looks, and even his eyes that full of indifference!) Monomi thought while keep trying to grab Tatsumi's cheeks.

''What do you mean? I don't even have a wife!'' Arima retorted!

''I know that! I even think you're probably still a virgin, now!''

''Huh!'' Arima feels really offended and penetrated with bloody arrows when he heard Monomi's words!

Feeling that her hands can't reach Tatsumi's cheeks, Monomi then gave up and then sighed, ''Sigh, let's enter my office, first!'' She said and then walks, toward her office while Tatsumi and Arima following behind her.

------

In the room, we can see three people sitting around a round table while facing each other.

''So, you want to adopt him, right...'' Monomi asked to confirm what she heard on the phone call is not wrong.

''Yeah, and we already living together for two years!'' Arima stated.

(From the looks of this handsome boy, The treatment that Arima gives will qualify for the recommendation, and he looks very healthy!) Monomi thought while looking at Tatsumi's steady and healthy complexion!

''Wait!'' Monomi suddenly realizes that Arima can't cooks, and she then glares at Arima, ''Arima!''

''Hai!''

''If I remember correctly, you can't cooks, right!'' Monomi asked!

Hearing this, Arima could only nod his head.

''If you have been live with him for two years, doesn't that mean you make a six years old boy cooking for you! are you not ashamed as an adult!''

''B-But, you know that I can't cook at all, right!''

''And his cooking was very delicious!'' Arima affirmed.

''You don't have to criticize him, I can cook, so I cook for him, at least I can do that to repay living for free at his house,'' Tatsumi said.

But instead of calm down, Monomi becomes angrier when she hears these words come from Tatsumi.

''What a poor child...'' Monomi muttered while looking at Tatsumi!

''Sigh, where are the documents?'' She added while making a hand gesture to Arima, who got brightened when he sees this.

''Name...''

''Tatsumi!''

''Hmm, your age is eight years old.''

''Quirk? Insight?''

''You're orphan?''

''And You're founded by him at the middle of a mountain?!''

''Is all this information correct?!'' Monomi said while staring at Tatsumi and Arima, that nodding their head in affirmation!

''Very well,'' Monomi then taking the document and then messaging her subordinate.

''Can I ask something!'' She added.

''Do you have a good life with him!'' Monomi asked Tatsumi.

''Un, I have it for the first time!'' Tatsumi said while genuinely smiling.

''...''

(Ah, I never thought seeing him smiling like that, he rarely do that!) Arima thought.
