The Blazing Hero News in Sakura's Forest Area

"Here is the most interesting discovery I wanted to share, I saw Sparror appear in Sakura Forest."

A black pony-tail-haired young man with a short rose-red kimono that had an ink-black bear logo opened its predatory jaw on the back, excitedly announcing the news to his friend who sat on the wooden floor of his house in a circle. More specifically, a wooden floor located in his dining room that had a creamy, wide circular table on the middle side.

The surprised conversation members were none other than Hirata who wore a pitch-black short kimono with a cotton white jacket that had a golden fist logo on the back, Yuna, and Hatoshi. They indeed widened their astounded, yet surprised eyes towards the ponytail man who extended his delirium grin.

Compared to the three shocked conversation members, Hatoshi was the one who fully succumbed to the shocks. His fingers shivered in anxiousness the more he pinned his sight onto the ponytail friend.

Whereas, Hirata furrowed her intriguing eyes and dropped an enthusiastic jaw as she sharpened her glance. She steadily watched the ponytail man swallow a gulp of saliva to retain his confidence especially for presuming the news.

"When did you see him exactly, Asemu?" Hirata curiously asked,

Asemu chortled and rubbed his chin, "I saw him around three or four weeks ago. More specifically when I….went to the lake."

"In there, I witnessed…the mighty Sparror called forth his majestic dragon-head magic trick." Hiroki exclaimed with heated excitement, "It was very majestic and elegant to see."

"I also saw him do other spectacular magic tricks." Asemu added, furthering his embarking joyfulness on presenting the story, "Like creating a large blazing axe, sword, and even a showering fireblast!!" It is very exciting to see in my naked eyes and I'll never forget till this day especially that armor guy who soon became a hero not only for Rising Sun, but I think the whole world too."

A gleeful grin was slightly opened within Hatoshi's face after hearing the wonderful story being told from the villager's perspective. The schoolboy shook his head that caught Yuna's attention, giving her close partner a smile shortly.

"Damn, I wished I could see him here too." Hirata exclaimed before she let out a disgruntled grunt, "It will make this holiday more fun in my taste because…. grandmother from my mother's side is very strict and annoying as hell."

Yuna sheepishly released a high-pitched giggle and landed a gentle patting on her close partner's cousin's shoulder. The single touch of the schoolgirl convinced Hirata to raise an annoyed eyebrow.

"Come on, Hirata." Yuna pursued with a cheery tone, "Grandma Yukio is also nice too, especially when she cooked that delicious Sushi."

Hirata groaned, "But still….this is the same woman who almost yelled at anything. Even worse than mom."

"Looks like…Grandma Yukio really dislikes a stubborn girl." Yuna countered with a jolly giggle.

Hirata furrowed her annoyed eyebrows before she glanced at Yuna who was still safely keeping the closed lips smile. A close lips smile that boiled the heating irritation within her mind as she gritted.

"Whatever you said, Hatoshi's lover girl." Hirata spoke, "And please stop laughing about it."

As the heated argument between the girls occurred especially with Yuna declaring a high-pitched chuckle and Hirata heaved the irritated eyes, Hatoshi furrowed down curious eyes. The schoolboy sharply darted his eyes towards Hiroko who rubbed his head with uncertainty.

"Eh..Asemu, is there any information you wanted to share about Sparror?" Hatoshi asked with his eyes widened.

The heated argument between the girls as Hirata steered her attention to her village friend and quickly washed away the annoyance in her face with an enthusiastic smile. Hence, Hiroko rubbed his chin with a wandering gaze centered on the circular table.

Hatoshi sharpened his curious, yet unnerving stare when he watched Hiroko place down the rubbing hand on the table. The Village Boy blew out a refreshing exhale and gave a look of bitter disappointment.

"Well, I'm just going to tell only about that for Sparror sighting." Hiroko assured with a sad lip, "Because, when I tried to approach him, he just vanished in thin air with his magic trick."

Then, Hiroko happily chuckled, "But still, it's one of the best moments I ever saw. I even drew his eye-catching stunt too."

"Wow, can you show it to us?" Hirata pursued with an eager tone.

"Of course Hirata, but please wait patiently because it's in my room," Hiroko replied.

The Village Boy raised his body into a standing position and declared a respectful bow on his upper body to the three conversation members. They could only give an acceptance nod and gave a gladful smirk.

Afterward, Hiroko got up as he began to leave the three conversation members from the diner room. Hirata calmly pinned her sight towards The Village Boy who went upstairs by stepping on the wooden stair across the opened diner room.

Affectionate eyes went up skyrocket from Hirata's faces, lured out an adoring smile that was wide opened. An adoring smile caught Yuna's attention as she tilted her head towards her close partner's cousin.

"Look's like you have a crush on Asemu, Hirata." Yuna blurted out with a cheerful demeanor."

Hirata grunted, "Yeah, I do. I just don't want to date him right now."

"I see," Yuna replied. "Have you ever confessed your feelings to him?"

"Not now, I'd rather think about more important stuff than having a romantic partner." Hirata baffled, "Unlike you and lover boy here."

Hatoshi let out a sheepish burst of laughter as his harsh cousin centered her sharpened stare at him. Then, the schoolboy let out a sigh to fill up the confidence within his eyebrows, encouraging Hirata pinching her chin.

Hirata chortled and shook her head, "Damn, I still couldn't believe till this day you actually have the guts to confess your feelings to Yuna. I always thought you're just a nervous-nerdy boy. Instead, I misjudged you."

"Well, it's called courage and determination to tell…hehe." Hatoshi happily explained, "I guess."

Hrata groaned in annoyance, "Whatever."

Whereas, Yuna nodded down her stare to the circular table and extended a comforting grin. Recalling the flash seconds of her close partner's confession inside the rent house's bedroom illuminated sparkles of happiness within as she closed her eyes.

"Anyway, is Sparror told you this?" Hirata asked.

"Nope…. he didn't." Hatoshi replied with a bitter tone, "I guess…he's the type of guy that only talks about anything that is important."

Hirata nodded, "Probably. Superheroes are very secretive as heck even to their colleague or partner in crime sometimes"

"I think…it's for keeping the secret identity safer." Hatoshi declared a statement, "I meant some Superheroes really loved to keep their name ambiguous. Other than safety reasons, it's also can make their work more efficient.

"I agreed with Hatoshi." Yuna joined the conversation by opening her eyes and glanced at Hatoshi, "Being a Superheroes

The upcoming conversation between the three met its end when their sharp-hearing captured a noise of approaching steps. Hatoshi and Hirata began to lock their awaited stare on the back.

They caught the glimpse of Asemu holding four yellowish-white papers with his wrapping hand. The Village Boy declared an eager smile as he headed towards the circular table to join the conversation.

Then, Asemu gently placed the paper on the table when he kneeled down his leg into a crossing sit position. He scattered around the papers full of black-ink drawings of Sparror declaring various activities in unleashing the flaming blast with each of them taken by the three conversation members.

Yuna received the picture of Sparror heaved the black-ink blazing hand above his head with a flaming riffle emerging from the ground below. It freed a cheery smirk within her face as she glossed over the artwork.

While Hirata tilted her head back and forth and opened an astounding dropping jaw the more she scanned the artwork of Sparror that had a large dragon head on above dropped howling fangs. She even rubbed closer the paper for her sight to obtain a clearer look with the black-ink artwork.

The intrigue feeling shown within the three conversation members for giving a look of gratitude towards his artwork made Asemu delightfully give a gladful smirk. Moreover, he focused his sharp sight onto Hatoshi who surveyed every part of the Sparror's artwork he received, which was when The Flaming Hero slammed down the large blazing axe he slammed down onto the ground.

"So what did you think about my artwork, Hatoshi?" Asemu asked with a sparking excitement, enlightening his expression.

Hatoshi sighed, "I think it's pretty great and I do really like the detail of it."

"Especially with the armor." Hatoshi uttered as he marked his fingers onto the black and white armor part of Sparror, "I really like you execute the detail quite well."

"This is a huge improvement for your drawing skill, Asemu," Hatoshi added with a praising smirk darted onto Asemu.

Shaking eyes of excitement fired up within Asemu's face as he gazed down at the artwork marked by his friend, Hatoshi. The Village Boy pondered on the detailed armor he made in his Sparror drawing, letting out a delightful giggle.

Then, Asemu began to examine the girls and they indeed did give an amazed look to the Sparror artwork. Especially Hirata who widened the impressed jaw on the artwork her village friend created.

"True, this artwork is almost as good as Hatoshi." Hirata remarked with a thrilling tone, "Yes, I'm not joking about that."

"Yeah, it's quite true" Yuna exclaimed as she glanced at Hirata."I really like the detail you put in here."

Asemu sheepishly rubbed his back and gave a small burst of shameful laughter to the conversation members. The Village Boy even thankfully bowed his head towards his friends shortly before he raised his head and freed a smile he also shared to the artwork on his sides.

An artwork of Sparror happily shook hands with himself who opened the jolly, wide smirk and was being watched by the black-ink moonlight on the above side. The artwork also intrigued Hatoshi's observative eyes, slowly forming a sheepish closed-lips smile.

"Thank you very much for all the praises you gave everyone." Asemu exclaimed gladfully, "I highly appreciated that."

"I hope Sparror will see this artwork I made or even just meet him again." Asemu added with a burning excitement, "I've been hearing a lot of stories about his heroic act in Neo Tokyo City. Especially his fight with the Supervillain called, Hollow and the three..weird warriors."

Asemu sighed in relief, "However, the thing I really admired the most from Sparror is he and the other heroes managed to stop The…Distrunian threats."

"If those monsters didn't stop the heroes, the whole world would be gone forever and I will never have a chance to feel life to the fullest," Asemu added with a trembling, yet overjoyed tone. "

Surprised eyes appeared within Hirata's look as she frozenly watched Asemu slowly dropping a tear of joyfulness. The Village Boy vastly noticed it and washed away in a hurry with his hand.

Yuna gave a pity stare to her village friend who chuckled to all the conversation members as he shut his eyes. Whereas, Hatoshi exposed a gleeful smirk towards the joyful Asemu and let out a brief sigh of relief, flowing a thought of gratefulness for his heroic identity, Sparror after carefully capturing the praising statement from The Village Boy.

"I'm really grateful to hear that praise for my Superhero career." Hatoshi mumbled within his mind, "I wished I could show him my alter ego, but keeping a secret is much more important."

"Besides, there will be a day I will meet him as Sparror," Hatoshi added.

Meanwhile, the upper wooden stairs in front of the Grandma Yukio house's front door were occupied by Sasaki who gazed at the clean-blue sky above. He sharpened his darting eyes to the cloud that was passing through.

It encouraged him to release a confident smirk as he blissfully giggled and closed his eyes shortly. Sasaki pondered on the sky above before shaking his head and opening a confident chuckle.

"Tendou, your son is actually having a similar trait with you." Sasaki uttered, "Being passionate with his work especially with his sudden Superhero life. Heck he even almost likes you, thinking that breaktime is not worth it."

Sasaki furrowed an assertive stare, "However, I'm going to make sure he will not become like you.

" Instead, I will indirectly guide him to be just a hero of justice, not an egotistical maniac who wants to rule the world." Sasaki announced his bold statement, "And as for you Sharuzai and Rikara Sekai, I'm going to do my best to not let your daughter continue. It only brought suffering and misery in her life at the end."

"That's why when Hatoshi insisted Yuna become a part of my family at that time, I accepted it," Sasaki added. "I'm going to make sure Yuna can move on from that. Luckily, she did it based on my Super Sight."

Then, Sasaki firmly stood up from the wooden floor and lightened up the aqua blue eyes he steered into the sunlight on above. He clenched one of the shaking fists, fired up his determination on bringing a happier life for Yuna and Hatoshi, especially on preventing them from not succumbing to follow their long-gone parent footsteps.
