It Was the Head Coach of Terumi Genga...'s Family Fitness Center

It's another morning.

Now, the place where Uraraka Shige is is quite familiar to him.

Because this is the fitness center under the influence of the Genga Family.

"You're looking for the head coach?"

The fitness center's receptionist looked at Uraraka Shige with a surprised expression.

You have to understand, there aren't many people who come to a place like this just to find the head coach, especially since this person who came to find the head coach is a child who looks quite young, which makes it hard for her not to have the wrong idea.

"Could this child actually be the illegitimate child of the legendary, single head coach, secretly fathered without his knowledge?!"

Furthermore, because the head coach was rumored to be single, with people saying he was quite old and still unmarried and childless, the bodybuilding lady who was specifically responsible for receiving him even imagined a whole new scenario when she heard Uraraka Shige say she wanted to see the head coach.

'A woman who had to leave for some reason couldn't bear to give up this beautiful love. Secretly, she bore a child for someone, raising the child single-handedly until the child was eight or nine years old. However, years of overwork took a toll on her health, and she finally had to tell the child the truth. The child, whom she had raised alone, was very filial and, without telling his mother, came to find his father, whom he had never met in the big city.'

Such things might lead some people to say something touching like, "Cry! Everyone cry!"

"Um... can you tell me, what's your relationship with the head coach?"

The fit receptionist, who had just imagined this scenario, suddenly became much more radiant, and her attitude softened considerably. She smiled gently and asked Uraraka Shige in a soft voice.

If Uraraka Shige were truly just a child the same size as his current body, he would probably only think "this young lady is so kind" when faced with the gentle attitude of this fit young lady. However, Uraraka Shige is actually a guy with memories of his previous life.

Therefore, when Uraraka Shige noticed the expression on the bodybuilding receptionist's face, she immediately guessed that the young lady was probably secretly imagining something in her mind, perhaps even imagining herself to be quite pitiful.

If we add the question posed by this young lady, Uraraka Shige even began to think that in other people's minds, he probably had an extra father or some other elder for no apparent reason.

However, it must be said that this young lady's imagination does have some benefits for Uraraka Shige, at least making it easier and more legitimate for him to approach the head coach.

Thinking of this, Uraraka Shige suddenly recalled a widely circulated saying from her previous life, "Thick-skinned and black-hearted, that's called 'thick-and-black'!"

If he were also someone capable of abandoning all morals, he wouldn't even need to admit it at this point. He could simply subtly guide the young woman's thoughts in the direction he had imagined, and then give vague answers to her questions, neither admitting nor denying them. This would make the young woman feel that 'truth is always in the hands of a minority,' and she would increasingly regard everything she had imagined as the truth.

Furthermore, since the more a person imagines, the more serious the situation becomes, it perfectly embodies the meaning of the phrase "the more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes."

At that time, Uraraka Shige won't even need to do anything. This fitness receptionist will feel extremely strong sympathy for him because of the selfish behavior and emotional fluctuations of "humans generally bully or help the weak when facing those weaker than themselves out of a desire to prove their own 'strength'." Driven by this sympathy, she will take the initiative to help him.

Okay, actually, the world isn't as selfish and dark as Uraraka Shige imagines, but Uraraka Shige's character is just that—a selfish person who can categorize everything as selfish. So it's not hard to understand why he thinks this way. After all, for him, even emotions like family, friendship, and love that he can accept are all based on some kind of selfish reason for 'self-satisfaction,' right?

Cough...

However, although Uraraka Shige was a selfish guy, he wasn't shameless or someone who would abandon his principles like a used BYT. Therefore, Uraraka Shige ultimately didn't take advantage of what this great-looking young lady was imagining, but instead directly stated the reason why he wanted to find the head coach of this fitness center.

After learning the real reason why Uraraka Shige looking for the head coach, the young woman couldn't help but feel embarrassed about all the little scenarios she had imagined. She covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes curving into crescents as if she were laughing, and she became sullen and unladylike in front of Uraraka Shige, who was still a 'child'.

"Ah... um... I see, haha... but the head coach hasn't come to work yet..."

As the young woman spoke, she couldn't help but glance at the time. Then she paused, let out a surprised "Eh," and lowered her hand from her mouth. Her previously muffled voice returned to normal.

"Huh? At this time... the head coach should be arriving soon. Little brother, would you like to wait here for a bit?"

As she spoke, the young woman glanced casually at the main entrance of the fitness center not far behind Uraraka Shige, and then her attitude completely reverted to her previous professional and polite work demeanor.

Uraraka Shige didn't notice the young lady's little movements, but he did notice her quickly changing her posture. His thoughts raced through his mind, and before he could figure out what had caused her to change, he heard a somewhat familiar, yet bold and forthright voice behind him.

"Hmm? Isn't this the young master's friend? So you've finally decided to come here to continue your training? But now it can't be free anymore, you have to pay! I bet you've already brought the money! Honestly, I've always thought you were a very promising young man!"
