Summoned as a Heroic Spirit in Anime World

"Are you two heading home?"

Once in the car, Hiratsuka Shizuka, sitting in the driver's seat, asked.

Kaito Sora turned to Yotsuya Miko. "Miko, are you going home?"

"I told my mom I'd be back in the evening."

Glancing at the midday sky outside the window, Kaito Sora pondered for a moment before suggesting, "How about grabbing some barbecue with your master?"

"Sure!"

Yotsuya Miko's eyes lit up.

After expending so much magical energy earlier, she was starving to the point of feeling stomach pains.

"Ms. Hiratsuka, do you have any good barbecue places to recommend?"

"I know a place run by people from your country. The food's pretty good. Want to try it?"

"Let's go there then."

As the car started moving, Kaito Sora noticed the eager look on Yotsuya Miko's face and asked, "Miko, do you have a bank account?"

"Yes."

Yotsuya Miko nodded, but then quickly shook her head, realizing what Kaito Sora was implying. "I don't need money, Master."

"You've already done so much for me by teaching me the Thunder Technique and accepting me as your disciple. I owe you so much that I can never repay..."

"Just give me your account number when I ask for it."

In the end, under Kaito Sora's firm insistence, Yotsuya Miko reluctantly provided her bank account details.

Kaito Sora immediately forwarded the information to Tohsaka Rin, instructing her to transfer 50 million yen into Yotsuya Miko's account.

This move, however, sparked strong protests from Tohsaka Rin, who had just received the 300 million yen and hadn't even had time to enjoy it. She even called to voice her objections. Meanwhile, Yotsuya Miko, upon hearing the amount, was so shocked that she repeatedly insisted she didn't need that much money.

For her, even a few thousand yen was a significant sum at this point.

But Kaito Sora was adamant, and Tohsaka Rin eventually transferred the 50 million yen into Yotsuya Miko's account.

When Yotsuya Miko saw the bank notification on her phone confirming the deposit, she felt dizzy.

Fifty million yen!

The average annual income in the country was just over four million yen. Even if everything went smoothly, it would take her at least ten years of working non-stop after graduating to save up that much.

And now, it was all hers!

"Master!"

Yotsuya Miko looked at Kaito Sora with tears in her eyes.

"You're so good to me!"

"Silly girl."

Kaito Sora smiled and ruffled her hair.

"You're my disciple. Who else should I be good to if not you?"

"Stick with me, and I can't promise you immense wealth, but I can guarantee you'll live a comfortable life."

"Mm! Miko will listen to everything you say from now on!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka, glancing at the rearview mirror, saw Yotsuya Miko's adoring gaze fixed on Kaito Sora and shook her head inwardly.

This girl was beyond saving.

However, her initial concern had been that Kaito Sora might be a fraud.

But now, not only had Kaito Sora proven his abilities, he also treated Yotsuya Miko well—genuinely teaching her the Thunder Technique and giving her 50 million yen without a second thought.

To be honest, she was a little envious of Yotsuya Miko herself.

The barbecue place was run by a couple from Northeast China.

They were warm and welcoming.

The skewers were generously portioned, with meat quantities similar to what Kaito Sora was used to back home.

At 200 yen per skewer, it wasn't expensive. The three of them, plus a takeaway portion for Yotsuya Miko's mom, spent just over 50,000 yen in total.

The main reason for the cost was Kaito Sora and Yotsuya Miko's hearty appetites.

After picking up a few more things, it was almost dark by the time Hiratsuka Shizuka drove them near Yotsuya Miko's house. Kaito Sora then asked Hiratsuka to head back.

After getting out of the car, Kaito Sora and Yotsuya Miko strolled toward her house.

The sky was overcast, with dark clouds gathering.

"I heard there's a typhoon coming in the next couple of days."

When they reached Yotsuya Miko's doorstep, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Master, would you like to come in for a bit?"

"Not today. I have some things to take care of later."

"Oh."

There was a pause, but neither of them moved to say goodbye or leave.

Kaito Sora looked down and saw Yotsuya Miko gazing up at him with wide, expectant eyes.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with nervousness, shyness, and anticipation. She bit her lip, not saying a word, just staring at him.

Seeing the hopeful glimmer in her eyes, Kaito Sora understood what she wanted.

He smiled and gently ruffled her hair.

"Alright, it's getting late. Go on inside."

"Oh."

Yotsuya Miko's head drooped in disappointment.

But just then, she felt Kaito Sora lean down. Before she could react, she felt a warm sensation on her forehead. By the time she realized what had happened, Kaito Sora had already straightened up and was continuing to pat her head.

"Was this what you wanted?"

Yotsuya Miko's fair cheeks flushed red.

She had indeed wanted a kiss.

Though, if her master had kissed her somewhere else, she would have been even happier.

But a kiss on the forehead was still more than enough to make her happy.

"Mm."

Yotsuya Miko shyly nodded.

"Alright, head inside. Call me if you need anything."

This time, Yotsuya Miko didn't hesitate. She turned and practically ran to her doorstep, her long, ink-black hair fluttering behind her.

Once at the door, she turned back to look at Kaito Sora.

"Master, see you tomorrow!"

Without waiting for a response, she quickly opened the door and slipped inside.

Kaito Sora chuckled as he watched the door close.

"See you tomorrow."

He murmured softly.

Then, his gaze shifted to the system panel in front of him.
