Ten minutes later.

"Oh, that Saber is really cool!"

"She's so beautiful. I should have kept all the tickets."

After seeing Saber's portrait, several young men returned while chatting. They saw that the table was full of desserts, and a young man was holding a little girl and feeding her.

"Ah..." The little girl opened her mouth, and the young man put the cut cake into her mouth, and then the little girl puffed out her cheeks and ate.

'What's wrong?' The young men looked at each other. Only a few minutes had passed since they last saw each other. How could this strange companion have kidnapped a little girl?

"Oh, captain, isn't this the one from the video? The one who plays the piano!" exclaimed a young man, and the leader, the young man with glasses, was stunned. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the girl who shone in the role contest.

"My name is Rei, not a little girl!" The girl noticed the appearance of several young men, looked up, and asked: "Who are you...?"

Takumi put the cake in his mouth and calmly explained: "She's my sister."

This scene greatly surprised him. Rei discovered him in the bathroom, and Rei followed him. When parting from the young men, Takumi said he wanted to go to the bathroom. At that moment, Rei was nearby. Hearing his voice, it sounded familiar, so she quietly followed him.

As a result, Takumi was discovered.

After receiving this reply from Rei, Takumi felt helpless. He rarely contacted readers in Osaka. The means by which readers could get to know him were newspapers and television, and at most they had heard his voice a few times. But no one else found him. Unexpectedly, the girl remembered his voice.

But nothing happened. After being hugged by Takumi, she was very obedient; at least she didn't make it public.

Hearing his sister's explanation, the young knights suddenly realized.

"It turns out she's my sister!"

They sat down and enthusiastically praised the portrait of Saber they saw with Takumi. As the portrait's author, Takumi felt a little flattered.

Young Rei quickly finished the cake in her mouth. She left Takumi and trotted off to an unknown location. But she ran back with a glass of water in her hand.

"Clang...!" She placed the water on the table, then tiptoed onto the chair, sat down again on Takumi's lap under the surprised gaze of the young men, and then picked up the water and drank it.

A young man laughed and said: "Your sister clings to you a lot."

Takumi smiled bitterly. He hoped she wouldn't cling to him so much and that it would be difficult for him to escape.

"Am I your sister?" The young girl looked up in surprise and said to Takumi: "I don't want to be your sister."

The other young men's faces were a little strange.

"Haha, what else can you say? If you're not a sister, what else can you be?" Takumi forced a smile. He looked at the girl fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense,

okay?" "I want to be his lover!" However, the girl didn't seem to notice the hint. She said excitedly: "He... uh...".

Before pronouncing Mirai-sensei's name, Takumi covered her mouth, but this time Rei broke free and said angrily:

"You don't have a girlfriend? Why don't I? We're only...". She paused, frowned, and counted on her fingers: "One, two... five, six, yes, we're only six years apart! When I can get married, you still won't be thirty!"

Suddenly, Takumi noticed that several young men were looking at him with different eyes.

'Oh no, I'm going to be discovered!' —Thinking this, the young man with glasses pushed his glasses up and said: "Brother, calm down, it's illegal to attack a sister."

"He must have been exposed to too many hostile environments. It's easy to teach children bad things in today's society. Yesterday, my elementary school brother also said he had a girlfriend. He was only ten years old. When I was ten, I was still throwing sandbags with my classmates!"

"Child, don't always bother your brother. Your brother can't be a lover. Wait until you grow up...".

Other young men gave him advice. Takumi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but this time he was well prepared. He looked at Rei to make her stop talking nonsense.

"Come, try these desserts. They're delicious."

Takumi changed the subject and continued feeding the little girl. Seeing a table full of desserts, the other young men hesitated: "This doesn't seem to be what we ordered."

"It's okay, let's eat together, my treat."

Takumi dispelled their worries. After thanking him twice, several young men started eating.

"How sweet and how tasty!"

"Yes, it's better than the Fujiya buffet dessert I went to with my girlfriend last time...".

"I've been to Fujiya too; it's expensive and not very tasty. I can bring my girlfriend next time."

"Speaking of girlfriends, doesn't it seem strange? In this shop, they're not surprised that we came...".

While chatting, the young men felt strange, and even Takumi didn't understand why there was only one table of boys in that pastry shop, but not many people were looking, and the waiters and customers didn't take them seriously.

"Men and boys come here every day." Rei finished eating a dumpling and said: "We welcome all Mirai-sensei fans, and there are also people from other places who usually come here."

Her words surprised the young man with glasses.

"Do boys usually come?"

Rei nodded: "This used to be Mirai-sensei's reader meeting place. Oh, by the way... they changed the sign a few days ago!"

The young man with glasses was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head and his expression suddenly changed: "Now that I think about it, I heard there was a shop where I could see many friends during the New Year. It turned out to be this one. Why did it suddenly change its name?"

The young man looked at Takumi. If his sister knew, his brother should also know, right?

Takumi was confused. Of course, he didn't know. Luckily, the girl answered for him: "The previous shop wasn't very well known. Many older sisters suggested changing its name. We changed it a few days ago..."

Mirai-sensei's Home. Now many readers know that this is Mirai-sensei's forum. Changing the pastry shop's name to this will spread quickly. Takumi knew it from the shop's name. He thought it was a new shop, but it turned out to be an old shop that changed its sign.

So, did this shop exist a long time ago? How long was that? Takumi guessed it must have been after his identity was revealed. The date also matches what the young man said...

"Did you get Mirai-sensei's consent for the name Mirai-sensei's Home?"

The young man with glasses thought about this.

"Well... no..." At that moment, a waitress approached with some desserts and said with a smile: "We don't have Mirai-sensei's consent yet."

She didn't deny it, which made Takumi frown: "Aren't you afraid Mirai-sensei will sue you?"

"Yes... The manager didn't want to at first, but the shop has been having problems lately. The Older Sisters Alliance came to invest. They are our benefactors." The waitress crouched down, carefully placed the desserts, and said: "They suggested changing the name to this, and business has been much better lately thanks to this."

"Although we didn't get Mirai-sensei's consent." After collecting the leftover dishes, the waitress smiled: "But Mirai-sensei is a tolerant person. We're trying to contact him. As long as we make it clear to him, he shouldn't blame us."

"That's right...", the young man with glasses suddenly interrupted, with admiration on his face: "Mirai-sensei is famous for his tolerance. The mangaka Hayato slandered him once, but Mirai-sensei forgave him. I admire him very much."

That was because Hayato knelt down and begged me. Although Takumi wanted to say this, he remained silent.

"And the Rising Stars group, last time they posted a video of eating something inappropriate online, I got really scared and thought they had kept their word. But at the end of the show, they said they were special chocolate products. I want to beat them up!"

"They say Mirai-sensei has forgiven them, what can we do?"

"Mirai-sensei is too kind. Now even Mach can debut in Weekly Shōnen...".

The topic unconsciously changed, and the people around him began to praise him. This made Takumi a little uncomfortable. He wasn't that kind, and Alice would arrive soon. He prohibited the sale of photos in the shop. Would it cause any commotion?

"Mirai-sensei... Mirai-sensei...!" Rei suddenly stood up. She leaned over Takumi's ear and whispered: "I just heard your call. Please, don't let anyone come. I'll help you remove all those photos."

"You?"

Takumi looked at the girl suspiciously. "Can you?"

"Yes, I can. The owner is my mother..." Rei's voice sounded a little cheerful. "My mother is your fan. She's very fond of you. I used to live with my father. Every time my mother came to see me, she brought me your manga...".

"Don't hurt my mother,"

he said. Takumi's eyes widened in surprise. Of course, he remembered that the girl had a history of domestic violence.

After hearing Rei's words, Takumi roughly understood her family. The girl's parents were divorced. She originally lived with her father, but after suffering domestic violence, she is now with her mother.

'Mother? Takumi didn't know why she didn't want to see her mother: "Okay, I promise you, if you ask your mother to delete all the photos, I won't blame you."

Rei's eyes lit up.

"I'm going to tell my mother right now!" She ran out with short steps, and seeing her leave, Takumi left some red bills, said goodbye to some young men, and left.

He left the shop and hid, secretly watching. Two minutes later, a woman ran out of Mirai-sensei's home forum and looked around anxiously. Of course, she didn't see Takumi, but she immediately shouted: "Mirai-sensei, welcome next time!"

After her shouts, a group of girls ran out.

"What? Is Mirai-sensei here?"

"Where is Mirai-sensei?"

They seemed very excited.

Seeing this scene, Takumi turned and left. How cute. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

"I'd better go home and paint...".

He decided never to go back to that shop.
