Nishimura Arima?

(An: Another new chapter!)

(I'm still thinking about the heroine of this story)

(I was too rushed when I write this chapter, maybe I will edit this chapter later!)

Chapter 5

''Calm Down, Brat!''

An elder voice came from his back, and Tatsumi feels that his dagger got stopped by something.

(Insight!) Tatsumi thought while jumping to the side and then looking at the person behind him.

''Who are you!'' Tatsumi said with hostility!

A middle-aged with short white hair and a short-beard come into his vision.

The middle-aged man maybe looks very ordinary in his eyes. But there is no way an ordinary middle-aged man can sneaking on his back!

(Even Alpha need a few micro-second to realize that something is approaching me) Tatsumi thought while hostilely looking at the middle-aged man!

''Woah, Woah, calm down!'' said the middle-aged man with a laid-assured mood and awkward smile!

Even though the middle-aged man said that, Tatsumi did not let his guard down a bit, and he still stared at the middle-aged man with hostility while still gripping at Boa's dagger in his hand!

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man also evaluating the kid with ash hair in front of him with curiosity.

(What kind of situation is this! What a chance to found a six years old boy in the middle of a mountain!) The middle-aged man thought.

Feeling the hostility that glistens in Tatsumi's eyes, he then could only sigh at himself!

Because any person will be hostile if an unknown person, which they didn't know suddenly appeared from behind them!

''Well, what can I do.'' The middle-aged man muttered in his heart if it's not because of the delicious scent of grilled fish he smelled while walking in the woods!

Feeling the awkward mood appearing between them, Tatsumi then taking a chance to ask something, ''What do you want and why did you sneak behind me!''

Hearing this question, The middle-aged man doesn't know whether to laugh or cry!

''When I was walking in the forest, I smelled a delicious aroma, and out of curiosity, I started to follow that scent,''

''And when I got to the location of the aroma, I also found you eating grilled fish.'' He honestly said with a wry smile.

''Then, why did you sneak from behind me!'' Tatsumi interject while glaring at the middle-aged man!

''Ah, It's because, how do I say it,'' The middle-aged man replied while awkwardly scratching his nose.

''I haven't had breakfast, so.''

''So, you snuck behind me for food?!'' Tatsumi straightly stated. From his eyes, Tatsumi, of course, not believing the story from this middle-aged man!

*Grumble!*

''Haha,'' The middle-aged man stiffly chuckling because of his stomach, making a sound at the perfect timing to describe his conditions right now.

''Sigh, I don't have it,'' Tatsumi said while half-believed the story this middle-aged man was telling.

''Eh!'' The middle-aged man replied.

''I already eat all of the grilled fish, so I can't give you one!'' Tatsumi retorted while pointing at the remnant of grilled fish on the ground.

''Uugh, my poor stomach!'' The middle-aged man responded while rubbing his stomach.

*Grumble!*

''Ah, Then, can you cook one for me!'' He asked Tatsumi.

(Alpha, can you estimate this middle-aged man's power level!)

[Ding!]

[He was around C-B ranks, Host!]

(C-B ranks!) Tatsumi thought while sucking a cold breath, but he still has a calm expression on his face!

''Our strength level is on a different level, that's why I can't feel the movement from my back?'' He muttered in his heart.

Thinking about a little bit, Tatsumi then nodding his head and said, ''All right, I will cook for you, but in return, what will you give me after I cook for you?'' Tatsumi boldly asserted while observing the expression on the middle-aged man's face!

(What an interesting lad!) The middle-aged man thought.

Not only this child in front of him was already behaving like an adult! But he also somewhat knew how to extort others for his own sake.

(A Disciple? Grandson?) He thought while looking at Tatsumi.

''Hmm? What if you become my student!'' He said, which made Tatsumi surprised because this answer was too sudden and appeared out of nowhere!

(Alpha!)

[I don't sense any lie or any bad intentions of these words, Host]

(So, he really wants me to become his disciple!) Tatsumi asked with a confused tone in his mind!

[Yes, Host!]

[Ding!]

[Quest!]

[Accept or Refuse the offer!]

[Do you want to accept the offer of the mysterious person to become his disciple!]

[Y/N]

''Disciple?'' Tatsumi replied while tilting his head.

Looking at the confused expression on the kid's face, The middle-aged man then smiling inside his heart.

''Yeah, disciple! If you become my disciple, I will teach you how to fight and how to become a blacksmith!'' He proudly stated while waiting for the response from Tatsumi!

''How to fight and blacksmith?'' Tatsumi replied with a doubtful expression!

''Yeah,'' The middle-aged man nodded.

''Can I resign if I'm not satisfied,'' Tatsumi asked with a little wary.

''Of course, eh?'' The middle-aged man said while nodding his head but then stop because of Tatsumi's question.

''Resign...'' He muttered.

Many people want to become his disciple or sidekick, but this child wants to resign from that position if he was not satisfied!

''What do you mean by eh?''

''Of course, I will not believe someone that I just met and offer me a random thing, right!'' Tatsumi said, making the middle-aged man sigh a breath of relief.

''Hmm, I see,'' The middle-aged man muttered while nodding his head.

''Ok then, you can resign if you were not satisfied!'' He added. Agreeing, Tatsumi's condition for his offers!

''Well then, I will become your disciple from now on!'' Tatsumi said while respectfully bowing his head a little.

[Ding!]

[You have completed the Quest]

[Reward: 500 system points, one F-ranks skill]

''Good,'' Tatsumi whispered.

(At least he still has respect.) The middle-aged man thought while looking at Tatsumi's bow with a little smile.

''I still have to cautious of this man!'' Tatsumi muttered in his heart.

''So what should I call you from now on?'' He asked.

''Sensei?''

''Master?''

''Old-man?''

''Ehem, You can call me Grandpa from now on!''

''Grandpa?'' Tatsumi said while tilting his head.

''Yeah, you can call me grandpa from now on!''

''Err, what's your name?'' Tatsumi asked.

''This old man's name is Nishimura Arima! But you will call me grandpa from now on!'' He said while staring at Tatsumi!

''Nishimura Arima?'' Tatsumi muttered.

Tatsumi felt that the name was very unfamiliar. And probably not part of the main story of this world. Because he never remembers this kind of person in the story!

''So, I will call you grandpa from now on...'' Tatsumi said with a little bitterness in his mouth. Because calling someone grandpa is was very embarrassing to do for Tatsumi.

''Yeah, haha!'' Nishimura Arima said with a laugh.

*Grumble!*

''Haha, So you will cook for me, right.'' He shamelessly asked Tatsumi.

''Mm, First, I need fish!''

*Swooosh!*

''Done!'' Arima said with at least four big fish in his hands and all of them still alive.

(Fast!) Tatsumi thought while looking at the little lake, that has few water ripples and then averted his gaze again toward the fish in Arima's hands.

(Did his quirk relate to speed?!) He added in his heart.

''No wonder he can easily sneaking on my back,'' Tatsumi muttered.

''Sigh, Second, I need spices.'' He stated while feeling his body got lifted, and the surrounding around him start changing instantly!

''Ok, This is my house.''

''You can use any tool and spices in the kitchen!'' Arima said while putting Tatsumi on the ground.

''Kitchen?''

Observing his surrounding, Tatsumi then finds that he was in an unfamiliar place.

''Teleportation!'' Tatsumi muttered in shock.

''Oh yeah, my dear grandson, what's your name?'' Arima asked while sitting on the chair.

(Should I lie or not.) Tatsumi thought and then said, ''My name is Kurogane Tatsumi.''

(Kurogane Tatsumi?) Arima said in his mind.

''Kurogane, huh,'' Arima muttered while closing his eyes.

''Tatsumi!'' Arima said.

''Err, what?''

''Nothing, How long does it take you to cook,'' Arima asked.

''I don't know,'' Tatsumi replied while carrying the fish toward the kitchen.

''Just wait,'' He added while taking a kitchen knife from the rack.

''Ok!''

(Hmm, a grandson, huh. Let's see how it's going!) Arima thought with a smile on his face.
