Chapter 369

Satoshi looked at the date on the envelope; it was exactly the time from last night, which made Satoshi understand Cynthia's intention.

She hoped Satoshi could improve his battle techniques and experience based on the match from last night.

If Satoshi passed the competition, then Cynthia could meet him openly and honestly.

Although Cynthia was a bit worried about being discovered, she still decided to give it a try.

"Mm!"

Satoshi took a deep breath, then locked the materials in the drawer and left the room.

"Good morning, Brother Satoshi."

At this moment, May had just finished washing up and was sitting on the sofa, holding a laptop and reading a manga.

Seeing Satoshi, May called out sweetly and then continued reading her manga. Clearly, it was the manga she had been reading lately, *One Piece*, which was also a work created by Satoshi.

Watching May's serious expression, Satoshi couldn't help but smile; this was the second time he had seen May looking so serious while reading manga.

"Good morning, May."

Satoshi gently patted May's head, then changed the subject, "May, will Mom and Dad be coming over today?"

"Mom and Dad are busy today."

May shook her head, looked at Satoshi, blinked her eyes, and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Satoshi?"

"Uh... nothing much, it's just that Brother Satoshi is going to participate in the national finals, so I'm a bit excited."

Satoshi scratched his head, gave a dry cough, and said.

"Go for it, Brother Satoshi! Brother Satoshi will definitely win the championship!"

Hearing Satoshi's words, May quickly encouraged him.

"Haha! Thanks, May."

Satoshi smiled and patted May's head.

"Right! Brother Satoshi, you're going to participate in the national finals? Then I'm going to go watch Brother Satoshi's match!"

May suddenly jumped up in excitement.

"May wants to go watch the match?"

Satoshi was also taken aback. He had originally planned to spend time with May first so she wouldn't feel too lonely, but he hadn't expected May to want to go watch him compete.

"Of course! Brother Satoshi is the person I admire most! I definitely have to watch Brother Satoshi's match."

May said with a happy smile, her eyes sparkling with a special brilliance.

After hearing May's words, Satoshi smiled slightly, patted her head, and said, "Then May must be a good spectator, because I have to protect my little sister!"

"Okay! Go for it, Brother Satoshi!"

May nodded, her eyes filled with admiration and longing.

"Mm."

Satoshi nodded.

Just then, May suddenly raised her head, looked at Satoshi, and said, "Right, Brother Satoshi, have you seen Sister Cynthia?"

"Cynthia? Do you mean Cynthia from *Little Red Riding Hood*?"

Satoshi was slightly stunned, then asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Yes! That's the one, I super love Sister Cynthia~"

As May spoke, her cheeks turned bright red, as if she had remembered something unpleasant.

"Uh, May, your Sister Cynthia had an urgent matter, so she left for a while. However, before she left, she told me to take good care of you."

Satoshi explained, then added, "May, you go wash up first, I'm going to prepare breakfast."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble, Brother Satoshi."

May said obediently.

Satoshi nodded as well, then left the room.

"Phew..."

Satoshi walked to the kitchen and let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, he muttered to himself, why did Cynthia suddenly disappear?

Satoshi didn't dare to go look for Cynthia, so he had to suppress his curiosity and began preparing ingredients for May.

Meanwhile, in a certain hidden forest.

Standing there were five mysterious people dressed in black.
