"yes……"
Although this was not the first time she had gotten along with Senju Makoto in private, Inoue Orihime still responded somewhat flattered when she heard this, then sat down in front of Senju Makoto quite restrainedly and said.
"Thank...Thank you Kurosaki-sensei."
In fact, Senju Makoto was very clear about Inoue Orihime's past.
The whereabouts of her parents are unknown, and the only brother who has taken care of her since childhood was also involved in a car accident a few years ago. He died at the Kurosaki Clinic due to his injuries being too severe before he could be transferred to a large hospital.
From then on, Inoue Orihime, who had completely lost her support, almost lived a life without a meal, relying on the help of kind people to survive, and because of this, she had an unusual obsession with "lunchboxes".
If Senju Makoto had not compensated Inoue Orihime for her bento, given Inoue Orihime's financial ability, she might have been hungry all day today.
"You're welcome, come on, eat some chicken drumsticks. You always make those weird things. You need more nutrition to grow well..."
At the last moment, Senju Makoto noticed Inoue Orihime's exaggerated holy words, and his voice couldn't help but pause slightly.
Especially when Senju Makoto recalled the Rukia Kuchiki he had just seen last night, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
'Some things are truly something you are born with. If you don't have them, no matter how hard you work the day after tomorrow, it will be meaningless! '
Except for fraud, of course.
With the Kuchiki family's financial situation, it took decades, but there was still no way for Rukia Kuchiki to change her fate...
Ironically, the impoverished Orihime Inoue has a heart that cannot be matched by about a hundred Rukia Kuchiki combined.
"Enough...enough..."
Inoue Orihime spoke repeatedly in a flustered but grateful manner. "Thank you Kurosaki-sensei, I can't eat much."
Immediately, Senju Makoto felt Inoue Orihime's nervousness, and no longer took the initiative to persuade Inoue Orihime to eat more. Instead, he took the initiative to eat his own portion first, and chatted with Inoue Orihime about something that both parties were quite familiar with. topic of.
Unconsciously, Inoue Orihime relaxed and even entered a state of enthusiastic communication without even realizing it.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Inoue-san to have such an experience."
"There is nothing we can do about it. Isn't it embarrassing? Mr. Kurosaki..."
"It's indeed a bit embarrassing, but don't worry Inoue-san, I will never tell other students about these things, even Kurosaki Ichigo-san."
】
"ah?!"
Suddenly, Orihime Inoue's whole face seemed to be blushing slightly, and she said. "What, Kurosaki...Kurosaki-san isn't special either."
"Really? If that's the case, then I'll tell Ichigo..."
"No, Mr. Kurosaki, please, can you not tell Mr. Kurosaki?"
"Well, it's not impossible. If you don't want Ichigo to know, then you have to agree to my request..." Senju Makoto said with a smile.
"What...what's the request?" Orihime Inoue, who was vaguely touched by something, asked rather shyly.
Senju Cheng said in an elegant and easy-going manner.
"Speaking of which, are you almost an adult? In that case, why don't you work in my flower shop during your free time? As for salary, I will pay you according to the highest standard."
In an instant, Inoue Orihime was completely stunned.
The gentle Mr. Kurosaki called it a somewhat threatening request, but Orihime Inoue understood that this was undoubtedly Mr. Kurosaki providing help to her.
There is no doubt that the somewhat threatening request is more because the gentle teacher Kurosaki is taking care of his fragile dignity, fearing that he will misunderstand it as a humiliating charity.
"Tick-tock-tock..."
Inoue Orihime, whose mouth was still full of fish roe, immediately turned red with emotion. She quickly swallowed all the fish roe and said.
"No, Mr. Kurosaki, I don't know anything. I...I'm afraid it will only be a disservice..."
However, Senju Makoto did not give Inoue Orihime any chance to refuse further, and stood up directly and said.
"Inoue-san, this is not an invitation, but a request! You don't want those things to be known to Kurosaki Ichigo-san, right? In that case, just work in my flower shop..."
Immediately, Senju Makoto wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and said while walking directly out of the activity room door.
"That's it, Inoue-san. If you want to use the bento as a lunch box, please bring it with you next time you go to the flower shop to work..."
After a pause, just when Senju Makoto opened the door and was about to walk out, he turned back and smiled at Inoue Orihime and said.
"In addition, you don't need to bring a lunch box while working. As a store manager, you have the responsibility to feed the store staff no matter what. You will never go hungry."
After that, Senju Makoto waved towards the red-eyed Orihime, leaving Inoue Orihime alone in the activity room and crying.
"Thank you...Thank you...Kurosaki-sensei..."
Even though Senju Makoto had left the activity room, he could still clearly hear Inoue Orihime's muttering gratitude.
Because Senju Makoto secretly added some "ingredients" to the bento Inoue Orihime ate this time.
Somewhat similar to the "Forest Seed", but it can be regarded as a part of Senju Makoto's body. Its function is roughly as a "Forest Device" that can monitor, locate and monitor Inoue Orihime's physical condition. It has been mixed with fish roe and was taken by Inoue Orihime ate it.
This is not because Senju Makoto has any perverted thoughts towards Inoue Orihime.
On the contrary, Inoue Orihime may not know it, but in fact, most of the money that has secretly supported her daily life in recent years was provided by Senju Makoto.
Of course, Senju Makoto is not only helping Inoue Orihime, but has also been supporting a considerable number of poor orphans in Karakura Town who have no support.
Senju Makoto is not completely ignorant of modern medical skills. Even after Senju Makoto has mastered a large number of instruments, he can repair all kinds of incredible injuries with the instruments that are already part of Senju Makoto's body.
However, Senju Makoto knows better that humans have short lifespans and can continue to live in another way with their souls.
What they lack may not be simple medical assistance, but more poverty...
The main purpose of Senju Makoto secretly leaving the "Forest Utensil" and pushing Inoue Orihime to work in a flower shop was to confirm the changes of Inoue Orihime from a closer distance during this period.
How did an ordinary person suddenly possess the power of a "name"!
This point undoubtedly made Senju Cheng quite curious.
