Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

She did not doubt what Watanabe Toru said at all. He was an orphan and so young, so of course he would often think of his mother. She was old enough to be Watanabe Toru's mother. Perhaps in his heart, he had already regarded her as a substitute for his mother.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yoshida touched Watanabe Toru's head with pity and said softly, "Even so, you don't have to buy so many ingredients. If you want to eat the bento made by auntie, auntie will make it for you in the future. You can take these things back later."

"No." Watanabe Toru shook his head and puffed up his face, saying, "My mother once told me not to eat other people's food for free, otherwise she would be unhappy."

"This..." Mrs. Yoshida was a little embarrassed: "But you spent so much money. If Sister Xiaolan, who is taking care of you, knew about it, she would be very angry."

"Don't worry, Aunt Yoshida." Watanabe Toru said with a smile: "I have told Sister Xiaolan, and she has agreed."

Mrs. Yoshida opened her mouth. She couldn't think of any other reason to refuse Watanabe Toru, so she agreed. "Okay then, but Xiao Toru, you can't buy ingredients anymore. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you. Otherwise, I'll be angry."

"Okay." Watanabe Toru agreed readily.

After she finishes eating the ingredients he bought, Mrs. Yoshida's income should be stable.

"Then stay for dinner tonight. Auntie will make braised chicken legs for you. Ayumi really likes the chicken legs I make, right Ayumi?"

"Yeah." Ayumi nodded vigorously: "Xiaotuo, the chicken legs made by mom are delicious."

"Well... okay then." The mother and daughter invited him warmly, and Watanabe Toru couldn't refuse: "Then I'll call Sister Xiaolan and tell her that I won't be back for dinner tonight."

……

7 p.m.

After dinner, Toru Watanabe said goodbye to Mrs. Yoshida.

At the door of the apartment, Mrs. Yoshida repeatedly asked, "Xiao Che, do you really not need me to take you home?"

"No need, Auntie." Watanabe Toru waved his hand: "I'll take a taxi back. Don't worry, I'll call you as soon as I get home."

"Then, I'll watch you get in the car."

Watanabe Toru knew that Mrs. Yoshida was worried about him going back alone so late, so he had to agree.

Mrs. Yoshida called Ayumi, and the three of them walked down the stairs.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but after the three of them turned around, Watanabe Toru suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

When I turned around, I only saw an empty corridor...

031. Crisis of Yoshida and her daughter

After getting in a taxi and telling the driver the address of the Mori office, Watanabe Toru prepared to take a nap.

You have a new email

Watanabe Toru suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the time.

It was 7:10, twenty minutes until the attack.

Watanabe Toru said in a deep voice: "Master, go to the nearest store quickly."

"Okay." The driver nodded.

Five minutes later, the car stopped in front of a store. Watanabe Toru got out and said to the driver, "Master, please wait for me."

The kind driver nodded again, rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.

Watanabe Toru hurried into the store. Time was running out, so he turned to the owner and asked, "Boss, do you have any vegetables...baseball bats?"

He originally wanted to buy a kitchen knife, but was afraid that the boss would not want to sell it to him because he was young. In order not to waste time arguing with the boss, he changed his mind.

"Yes, yes, yes." The boss, a bald uncle, said enthusiastically, "What kind of baseball bat do you need?"

“The best quality, the kind that doesn’t break easily.”

"That would cost 1700 yen."

"Okay, please give it to me."

After paying, Watanabe Toru got into the car with the baseball bat. Under the driver's vigilant gaze, he quickly explained, "Master, don't misunderstand me. This baseball bat is for competitions. Oh, and please drive it back for me. I forgot to pick up something."

Looking at Watanabe Toru's harmless face, and considering his age and making sure he was not in danger, the driver finally breathed a sigh of relief and started the car.

Arriving downstairs of the apartment building again, Watanabe handed the driver a 5,000 yen bill that he had prepared in advance, said "no need for change", pushed open the car door, and hurriedly ran towards the apartment.

It's seven thirty-one.

Toru Watanabe looked down at the time on his watch and rushed up the stairs in two steps.

Just as I ran to the door of Ayumi's house, I heard Mrs. Yoshida's panicked voice from inside the closed door: "You, who are you? Don't come over... I, I called the police..."

"Hehehe, then you also need to have a chance to call the police... I know that there are only you and your daughter in this family, such a beautiful woman, tsk tsk..."

The voice of a strange man was heard again in the house.

〖Coercion granted by the widow〗?

Watanabe Toru had no time to hesitate. When he was about to break the door by force, he luckily found that the door was not locked. He walked into the house easily and saw the scene inside.

Mrs. Yoshida's face was pale, and she was leaning against the corner. Ayumi was held in her arms, and all kinds of debris were scattered on the ground around her. A shirtless man wearing only a pair of shorts stood in front of Yoshida and her daughter. Although Toru Watanabe could not see his appearance, he could imagine that he definitely had an ugly and wretched face.

None of the three noticed Watanabe Toru's arrival.

The defenseless back gave Watanabe Toru an opportunity. He raised the baseball bat in his hand and swung it hard at the man's back.

If possible, he would rather hit the man on the head, but unfortunately he was too short and the back was his maximum distance.

"what--"

A burning pain came from his back, and the man screamed. When he turned around, he saw a boy of seven or eight years old standing not far behind him with a baseball bat in his hand.

"Xiao Che."

Mrs. Yoshida and Ayumi also saw Toru Watanabe.

Mrs. Yoshida shouted anxiously: "Xiao Che, run, it's dangerous here, run."

She didn't know why Watanabe Toru came back, but there was no way to protect him at the moment. The only thing she could do was to tell him to run away quickly.

"Run?" The man had a ferocious look on his face and reached out to grab Watanabe Toru. "Now that you're here, don't leave, you little brat! You actually dared to sneak attack me? Let me show you how I'm going to deal with you."

Toru Watanabe jumped to the side nimbly, holding the baseball bat tightly in both hands, and this time, he swung it towards the man's waist.

The man's reaction was not slow either. He dodged the blow by moving sideways, grabbed one end of the baseball bat, and pulled it hard towards himself. Watanabe Toru lost his balance and was dragged over.

A cruel smile appeared on the man's lips. He was determined to make this brat who dared to attack him pay a heavy price.

But then his smile froze. Watanabe Toru let go of the baseball bat, clenched his hands into fists, and before he could react, he rained down blows on his abdomen.

032. The true value of this injury

The severe pain coming from his abdomen made Junji Ito's expression distorted.

He roared angrily and threw a punch at Watanabe Toru.

Watanabe Toru raised his hand to block, but the huge force made him frown and stagger back.

Then, it hit the wall.

The power of this body is simply too weak. Although he possesses master-level free-fighting skills, he is at a disadvantage in terms of size and explosive power, and cannot fully exert the power of his fighting skills.

We have to find a way.

Toru Watanabe wiped the wound on his face, his eyes passed over Junji Ito and fell on the phone in Mrs. Yoshida's hand.

Got an idea…

Watanabe Toru suddenly shouted: "Auntie, I'll hold this guy back, you call the police quickly."

Junji Ito's expression changed slightly. For someone like him who is committing a crime, the police are his biggest weakness and flaw.

When he turned around and tried to snatch the phone from Mrs. Yoshida, Toru Watanabe rushed out silently, using his left leg as the axis, exerting force from his waist and back, and driving his right leg out like a whip.

"what--"

Junji Ito didn't expect Watanabe Toru to launch a sudden attack. When he turned around in pain, Watanabe Toru's other foot flew into the air and launched an attack without leaving any time. First, he hit Junji Ito in the face with a knee, and then he fired his fists left and right, like cannons and hammers, each punch heavier than the last.

Even though his strength was small, Junji Ito was still dizzy after a series of attacks. Watanabe Toru seized the opportunity and kicked him hard again.

boom…

With his body unstable, Junji Ito's head hit the wall hard and he fainted.

Watanabe Toru didn't have time to catch his breath before he found two thick ropes from the messy ground.

There is no guarantee when Junji Ito will wake up, so the safest way is to tie his hands and feet.

After doing all this, Watanabe Toru finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

It turned out that the child's body was still too stretched.

"Xiao Che——"

Only then did Mrs. Yoshida recover from her shock. She let go of Ayumi and ran towards Watanabe Toru, putting her hands on his shoulders and looking left and right: "Are you okay? Ah, you're hurt."

"I'm fine." Watanabe Toru forced a smile and reminded her, "Auntie, hurry up and call the police. Let them arrest that bad guy."

"Yes, call the police." Mrs. Yoshida hurriedly picked up the landline and dialed the police. After telling them what happened here, she held Watanabe Toru's face and said distressedly: "There's blood on his face. We need to take care of it. Ayumi, go get the medical kit in the closet. There may be a lot of things in it. Be careful. Mommy needs to watch this bad guy outside."

"Okay." Ayumi responded hurriedly and ran to find a medical kit.

"Xiao Che, does it hurt?" Mrs. Yoshida said with concern, "Didn't you go back? Why are you back again? What you did just now was really dangerous. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to your family?"

Watanabe Toru leaned in Mrs. Yoshida's arms, looked up at her concerned eyes, smiled gently and said, "Because I suddenly panicked and felt that Auntie and Ayumi would be in danger, so I came back. Auntie, I'm awesome, right?"

"Amazing." Mrs. Yoshida nodded. "Auntie is protected by Xiao Che."

She really didn't expect that Watanabe Toru could actually beat the man who broke into her house and tried to do something bad to her. He brought her a ray of hope in her despair. For a moment, her eyes were a little dazed, as if the person in her arms was not a child, but a knight who had just fought for her.

"Auntie, it hurts."

The illusion was broken by Watanabe Toru's groaning, and she quickly comforted him, "Bear with it, little Toru. The pain will go away after your auntie has treated your wound."

"When I was hurt in the past, my mother would always kiss me, and then the pain would go away. Auntie, I miss my mother."

Watanabe Toru's words deeply hurt Mrs. Yoshida's heart. She hugged Watanabe Toru tightly and said softly: "Little Toru, Auntie is your mother. Auntie will not let you be sad."

She lowered her head and gently pressed her cold lips against Watanabe Toru's mouth.

Ah, this injury is worth it.

The two did not separate until Ayumi's footsteps were heard.

"Mom, this is for you." Ayumi handed over the medical kit.

"Thank you, Ayumi." Mrs. Yoshida opened the medical kit beside her, took out the alcohol and cotton balls, and said to Watanabe Toru, "Little Toru, it hurts a little, but I believe you can bear it, right?"

"Yeah." Watanabe Toru responded.

033. Maori Kogoro's Little Thoughts (Additional Update)

Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived at the apartment and took Junji Ito away.

What is unexpected is that this man named Junji Ito is actually a fugitive criminal. No wonder he had evil intentions and attempted to do something bad to Mrs. Yoshida.

Watanabe Toru was also ready to leave, but this time, Mrs. Yoshida refused to let him go alone.

She took Ayumi with her and followed Watanabe Toru back to the Mori office.

"Xiao Toru, what's wrong with your face? Are you hurt?" Seeing a bandage on Watanabe Toru's face, Xiaolan didn't have time to ask who Mrs. Yoshida and Ayumi were, and she was anxiously concerned about Watanabe Toru's injury.

Watanabe Toru was about to explain, but Mrs. Yoshida spoke before him: "I'm so sorry, I didn't take good care of little Toru."

"Huh?" Xiaolan looked at Mrs. Yoshida with a confused look on her face: "Excuse me, what exactly happened?"

Mrs. Yoshida told Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro what happened in the apartment.

After that, he apologized again: "It's my responsibility that Xiao Che got hurt. I'm sorry..."

When Xiaolan heard that Watanabe Toru had actually fought with a criminal, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She didn't feel relieved until she heard that the criminal was subdued and taken away by the police. Then she saw Mrs. Yoshida's guilty look, and she, who was kind to begin with, couldn't say a word of blame.
