Yuichiro felt he could not possibly have been more wronged.
Was I the one who didn't tell you sooner? You wouldn't listen to me at all!
"How long has he been here?" Tetsu no Sosuke went over, grabbed his coat, and put it on.
"More than three hours."
"You hopeless brat! He's been here for more than three hours, and you're only telling me now?" Tetsu no Sosuke's face darkened. As he walked, he asked, "Where is he?"
Yuichiro could not even be bothered to defend himself anymore. "The sitting room..."
The two soon reached the sitting room, one behind the other. Kanae was still having Kiyo Terauchi pour tea for the Rock Pillar.
The Rock Pillar shook his head. "I can't drink any more. I can hear water sloshing in my stomach just from shaking my head..."
Tetsu no Sosuke had just reached the door when he heard that. Unsure whether to laugh or cry, he pushed the door open and entered. "Sorry, sorry. My family was worried about disturbing me while I forged Nichirin Blades, so they didn't dare tell me."
Yuichiro nearly burst into tears. Teacher, you can't do this to me!
Kanae was speechless too. "Weren't you the one who failed to notice?"
Tetsu no Sosuke froze. "Failed to notice what?"
"Once you start working, you don't recognize anyone, not even your own family. Don't blame your student." Kanae smiled. "All right, I'll leave you two to talk. I'm going back to rest."

Tetsu no Sosuke immediately had Kiyo Terauchi carefully help her back. He sat down and, seeing that the Rock Pillar's cup was empty, instinctively filled it. Then he drank three cups in a row himself
