Realizer of Death : The Reaper-Chapter 68 68

?On the first day of the long vacation from Golden Week, Tenku sat relaxing in his apartment. Takaya and Noboru invite him to play, but he refuses because he has a part-time job for the next week.

Akina couldn't accompany him because she had to vacation with her family. She had asked her parents to invite Tenku, but Kouta immediately rejected it. On the other hand, Misora couldn't do anything after her husband had made his decision. Their answers made Akina sad because she couldn't spend her vacation with Tenku.

Tenku didn't care about that because he already had a plan with Wang Haotian. He had promised to participate in the martial arts competition on behalf of the Wang family in Beijing, and they would leave tomorrow morning.

Wang Haotian had prepared everything he needed, including passports and visas, because this was the first time Tenku had gone abroad. It became easier and faster with Tenku's identity as a member of the Holy Union.

"What should I do today?" Tenku muttered and looked through the Holy Union's website.

After returning from a mission at Lake Shima two weeks ago, Tenku couldn't find another space collapse in the Kanto region. So he could only live his everyday life and wait for the wounds on his body to completely heal.

Tenku's condition had recovered a few days ago. If he used potions or elixirs, the wound would heal faster but Wang Haotian forbade it.

The old man wanted Tenku to engrave his experience of life and death battle directly in his body without relying on potions or elixirs. The most important thing was that the two items were costly.

Although Tenku's harvest on Lake Shima was good, he had used most of it to repay the debts owed to Kaziya and Wang Haotian. So only the monster corpses were left in his space pocket.

Unfortunately, Tenku couldn't use the monster corpses to practice the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art because he had just broken through to the fourth layer and had to consolidate before tempering the meridians.

While Tenku was drowning in his boredom, his smartphone rang. He saw someone had messaged him. Tenku opened it and smiled as he saw its contents.

The message was sent by Tenku's acquaintance, who also has a kiosk not far from where he sells crispy tofu. That person offered his stall at the festival to Tenku because he had family problems today and couldn't come to that place.

"I happen to be bored today because I can do nothing. This can add to my income before leaving for Beijing tomorrow." Tenku entered his room and quickly changed his clothes. Afterward, he came out of his apartment and walked towards Fuyushima Temple.

Tenku arrived at the stall's location in the afternoon and saw many people crowded around the place. He took out the ingredients for making crispy tofu he had bought on the way there and prepared them immediately. Forty-five minutes later, Tenku finished cooking his crispy tofu and opened his stall.

When Tenku opened his stall, several people were already lined up in front of it because they smelled the delicious aroma of crispy tofu. He smiled and quickly served them.

After Tenku finished serving customers and there was no longer a queue in front of his stall, he saw some of his acquaintances. They are Asuka, Akio, and his childhood friends. Tenku pretended not to see them, but the other party had noticed him.

"Ooh, isn't this the hero who ran away like a coward but accidentally saved Miss Fuyushima?" The one who spoke was Daichi. He is a boy with a muscular build and one of Akio's childhood friends.

"I think he's better off being a seller of crispy tofu than a Realizer." a girl added. She is Michiko. Even though she wore a kimono, the clothes couldn't hide her sporty aura.

"Please stop, both of you. Isn't it bad if you make fun of your schoolmates? After all, he had saved Miss Fuyushima despite running away like a coward." Akio reminded Michiko and Daichi, but his tone contained ridicule and supported what they said.

"What are you doing in front of my stall? If you don't want to buy, you better get out of here and not make a fuss. Otherwise, I'll call security to kick you out." Tenku said indifferently.

"You!" Daichi was angry when he heard Tenku's words and wanted to hit him. Luckily, Akio quickly stopped him.

"Stop it, Daichi. If you cause a stir in this place, we will get in trouble with our respective organizations. Can't you see that the security in this festival is a senior Realizer?" Akio held Daichi's hand and whispered to him.

"Ugh! You're lucky!" Daichi reluctantly withdrew his hand. After confirming that Daichi was calm, Akio looked at Tenku and smiled.

"Of course, I want to buy crispy tofu from you. I heard from Asuka that it tastes pretty good." Akio said and glanced at Asuka, who had not spoken a word since earlier. Then he bought a box of crispy tofu and ate it in front of Tenku. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

"Hmm... this food is terrible and not to my taste." Akio chewed the tofu and spat it out into the box. After that, he threw it in the trash.

"Hahaha... I thought you were selling food, but it's trash." Daichi laughed loudly.

"If you say that one more time, I will call security and invite some people to verify your words. If you lie about the taste of my food, then I can take the matter to Holy Union." Tenku looked at Akio and threatened. Luckily there weren't many people in the place at the moment. Otherwise, the words of the two would affect the sales of the crispy tofu.

Akio and the others' faces darkened after hearing Tenku's words. He snorted and immediately left the place without saying anything else. Tenku sighed and shook his head. He had seen Asuka glance at him before they left, but he ignored her.

Time passed quickly, and the day had turned to night. Currently, Tenku is busy handling customers who line up in front of his stall to buy crispy tofu. The queue of buyers has not ended since he opened his stall until now. Tenku didn't think that the people who came to the festival would like her crispy tofu so much.

An hour later, all the people lined up in front of his stall disappeared, leaving only a little girl. She is Kohana, who got lost and joined the queue.

"Big brother?" Kohana tilted her head and looked at Tenku in disbelief.

"Hmm? Big brother?" Tenku didn't understand what Kohana meant and thought the little girl had mistaken the person.

"Ah! You are a big brother! I've been looking for you everywhere for the past few days!" Kohana said excitedly and approached Tenku.

"I'm sorry. Who are you? I don't remember ever meeting you. Did you recognize the wrong person?" Tenku asked confusedly. He was shocked that the girl had suddenly entered his stall.

"Huh? Did you forget about me? You saved me from getting hit by a truck in front of Suisei High School." Kohana said, disappointed that Tenku had forgotten her.

"Ooh, you're the little girl who rescued a cat on the street? I'm sorry. I was too busy and forgot about it. Then what do you want from me? Do you want some crispy tofu?" Tenku smiled after remembering the incident and rubbed Kohana's head gently. Somehow he felt that the little girl reminded him of Haruna.

"You finally remember! I joined the queue out of curiosity after seeing the many people lined up in front of this stall. I think the food you sell must be delicious. But after meeting big brother, I have forgotten about it." Kohana pouted, but she was a little happy that Tenku had remembered her.

Tenku looked at the front of his stall and made sure that there were no customers. After that, he looked at Kohana and asked.

"So, what do you want after meeting me? If nothing is important, you better leave since I'm working here." Tenku didn't want to waste too much time on Kohana. Even though the little girl reminded him of his little sister, Kohana wasn't Haruna.

"I want to properly thank you for saving my life. I'm sorry I didn't get to say it at the time. Thank you." Kohana bowed to Tenku.

"Don't worry about it. I saved you not because I want gratitude from you. You must be more careful in the future and not be reckless in your actions. I know your intentions are good to save the cat. But if you get hurt, then your family will be sad." Tenku's expression softened when he saw Kohana's sincerity.

"Whatever the reason, you have saved my life. So I have to thank you properly." Kohana smiled broadly because she was happy that Tenku cared about her.

"Okay. I will accept your thanks. You better get back to your family before they get worried. By the way, who did you come to this festival with?" Tenku looked around and found no one accompanying Kohana. He couldn't believe a girl of Kohana's age had come to the festival alone.

"I came with my big sister, but now I'm lost." Kohana said shyly.

"You lost?" Tenku massaged his forehead after hearing Kohana's answer. He couldn't ask her to leave if her words were true.

"Yes. I was pushed by the crowd and separated from my sister. Therefore, please let me stay at your stall until my sister comes to pick me up." Kohana smiled and sat on the small chair inside the stall. Tenku sighed when he saw her behavior and ignored it because a customer had come.

"By the way, my sister also attends Suisei High school. She is a second-year student, and she is beautiful. When she comes, I will introduce her to you." Kohana swung her little legs back and forth and kept looking at Tenku from time to time.

Tenku froze when she heard Kohana's words. He remembered someone had told him about her sister, who had been saved by a boy, and that person was Setsuka. Tenku wanted to immediately ask Kohana to leave the stall but a voice silenced him.

"Kohana! What are you doing in that place!? Luckily, I remembered putting a tracker in your tote bag. So it didn't take me long to find you!" a familiar girl's voice sounded in Tenku's ear. When he turned around, he saw Setsuka in a kimono trotting towards his stall.
