  "..." Touta silently glared at the men mocking his friend. He couldn't help but frown, clearly disliking how others were ridiculing his friend for pursuing his dream.

  On this island, there were only three children, and Gon was the closest in age to Touta. They often spent time together, which is why they were friends. Touta didn't appreciate how others made fun of Gon.

  "Instead of mocking Gon, why don't you go and try to catch the Numa no Nushi yourselves?" Touta said suddenly, a sarcastic smile on his face. "Oh~, now I remember that 20 of you tried to catch it and couldn't, so you gave up."

  "Touta, you little brat!!" The faces of the men who had been mocking Gon turned red with embarrassment, as what Touta said was their most shameful history.

  "What? Do you want to fight?" Touta said, rolling up his sleeves, ready to take on the five or six men without any fear. He was confident in his ability to defeat them.

  Even though Touta was only 14 years old, he was incredibly strong, capable of defeating ten grown men in a fight by himself.

  "Muscle-headed fool," one of the men sneered and quickly fled, lacking the courage to fight Touta.

  After the first one ran, the others soon followed, one after the other. Even though it wasn't a real fight, they didn't want to risk being beaten up by Touta.

  "Are you Konoe Touta-kun?" asked a kind and polite voice from behind Touta.

  "That's right, and who are you?" Touta asked, looking at the stranger, who had clearly just arrived on the island, especially given the bag he was carrying.

  The man had the appearance of a gentleman, with a pleasant smile on his handsome face, blue hair, black eyes, and a suit matching his hair color with a yellow tie.

  "I apologize for my rudeness. My name is Tachibana, and I'm an acquaintance of Yukihime-san," said the man known as Tachibana with an apologetic smile. "When I saw you, I couldn't wait to speak with you, as Yukihime-san often talks about you in her letters."

  "An acquaintance of Yukihime..." muttered Touta, eyeing the man, who reeked of hypocrisy, with some suspicion. Even though he didn't know much about Yukihime's acquaintances, he didn't believe she would know someone as two-faced as the man in front of him.

  "That's right. I'm also a teacher, and I used to work with Yukihime-san," Tachibana said, approaching Touta with a smile and whispering in his ear when he saw Touta's doubt. "To be honest, I confessed to Yukihime-san once, and she rejected me. But we're still good friends, and that's why I'm here today, to invite her to my wedding."
