Chapter 24: Giving Interview
"It's almost time, remember what I told everyone, come with me."
After Chiaki finished explaining the precautions, she stood up and walked towards the door.
Kazuya, Mr. Fujiwara, and the Righteous Cyclist followed her, left the meeting room, and walked along the aisle to the distance.
Mr. Fujiwara couldn't help but said, "I'm not good at facing reporters."
"Yeah, I'm a little nervous," The Righteous Cyclist also said.
It was conceivable that there must be many reporters there.
Being exposed in front of everyone makes them a little uncomfortable. They are relatively low-key, some just want to do justice and help others, and some hide their faces just to avoid being discovered.
So Kazuya was also a little nervous, but thinking that his sister needed him, he mustered up his courage.
"Don't be nervous, just do what I say," Chiaki said softly.
"That's right," Kazuya smiled and said, "Miss Chiaki has already said so much, as long as we do what she says, there will be no problem."
"This guy."
When Chiaki heard his words, she turned her head to look at Kazuya, who gave her thumbs up again, which made her turn her head again in fright.
Led by Chiaki, they came to a door where several staff members were already waiting. Chiaki walked up to them and said to one of the women, "Minister, I have already explained them."
"Very good."
The woman was tall and has a beautiful face. Her long bangs cover one eye and the other eye was beautiful and deep. She has red lips, earrings on her ears, and a necklace around her neck.
She was wearing a small suit on her upper body, the edge of the shirt was lace, and the first button was unbuttoned, revealing part of her fair skin.
She was wearing a suit skirt on her lower body, and the skirt wrapped her upturned buttocks, and two long black silk legs extended from the hole in the skirt. She stepped on high heels and stood there with her hands hugging her chest.
"It looks familiar," Kazuya touched her chin and looked at her, "This person seems to be the female official who was in charge of the assessment when Saitama was promoted to B Class Hero in the manga, right? It turned out to be my sister's boss."
"The journalists are here, about a dozen of them," The female minister said, noticing Kazuya's gaze, she couldn't help frowning.
"It's a little less than the invitation we sent," Chiaki couldn't help but said, "But it's much more than last time."
The female minister said, "The TV stations and local newspapers have arrived, as well as our official media, which is enough for our work to be passed on. Answer their questions carefully in a while, and make sure not to make mistakes."
"Yes," Chiaki immediately replied, the female minister walked to the door, raised her hand to check the time, and said, "It's almost there, Chiaki, you go in, you three wait a moment."
Chiaki opened the door, walked in first, and then heard her respond to the reporter decently, and finally said, "The following are the three heroes who passed the assessment today."
Accompanied by her words, the door was opened from the inside, and the female minister said, "Go in."
The three of them immediately walked towards the door. Compared to the restraint of Mr. Fujiwara and the Mumen Rider, Kazuya seemed more at ease. He walked into the door with his chest upright.
Click, click.
The sound of shutters and flashing lights came and went, Kazuya was a little uncomfortable, but he managed to get behind the table, waved to everyone, and then sat down near Chiaki.
Mr. Fujiwara sat in the middle, and the Righteous Cyclist sat at the end.
"These are the three heroes who joined the Heroes Association today, ranking C-Class 168, C-Class 169, and C-Class 184."
"They're all C-Class heroes?"
"C-Class? I knew I wouldn't come."
"And it's covering the face. One of them is dressed abnormally. It's a waste of time."
The reporters below were a little disappointed. They expected to see stronger heroes, but if they were only C-Class, even ordinary Wolf-Class monsters could not easily deal with them.
When the three of them heard this, they all looked a little angry and sad. They became heroes to help others, but they were seen as insignificant.
Mr. Fujiwara sighed, and the Righteous Cyclist lowered his head but clenched his fists.
"Please be quiet, everyone."
Chiaki stood in front of the microphone and said, "No matter what Class of heroes they are, they are all contributing to our society. If they choose to be heroes, they deserve our respect."
Chiaki's words made the reporters below quite a lot, and Kazuya was also very happy when he heard this, and gave Chiaki a thumbs up again, 'As expected of a sister.'
'It's enough. '
Chiaki cursed inwardly, but with a faint smile on his lips, he said, "Next, if you have any questions, you can ask the three of you. This friend will come first."
The reporter Chiaki was looking for was a newspaper that has been cooperating with the association, the Z City branch of News Daily, and Chiaki's former colleague.
"I want to ask, why did the three become heroes?" the reporter asked quickly.
"Then please..." Chiaki was about to appoint a candidate, but Kazuya had already answered, "To protect everyone."
"You said protection?" The reporter asked again.
"Monster people attack humans and endanger people's lives and property. I want to protect everyone from the threat of monster," Kazuya said righteously.
A reporter interjected, "Excuse me, you are only a C-Class hero. According to the official information of the Heroes Association, only three C-Class heroes can deal with the weakest Wolf-Class monster, you are so weak? how are you qualified to say protect everyone?"
Chiaki looked dissatisfied at the reporter who interrupted below, asking such a question would probably anger these three people.
"this problem..." Chiaki was worried that Kazuya would give a bad answer, and just about to take it, Kazuya said, "About your question, I want to ask you back. This Righteous Cyclist Hero rescued children who fell into the water, I want to ask you, he did it to save people's lives."
"Yes, "The reporter had to admit it.
Kazuya said again, "He used to help people find their lost property, does that count as protecting people's property?"
The reporter hesitated for a moment but nodded.
Kazuya added, "This Piledriver Hero is already well-known in Z City. He once repelled algebra monsters at the university of Z City and was seriously injured, but he protected the students. Is he a hero?"
The reporter nodded, looking a little moved.
Then Kazuya said, "There is a good saying to do even small things. We are weak, so we should do what we can. we can train hard to make ourselves stronger and then protect more people. We are weak, so we unite and gather everyone's strength to deal with the monster,"
"So, I think the establishment of the Heroes' Association is a very beneficial thing. It will integrate our strength to deal with disasters that we could not deal with alone,"
Kazuya looked at the crowd and said seriously, "Please give us your support to protect you better."
Chiaki's colleague was the first to clap his hands, and the other reporters were also infected by Kazuya's words and applauded.
"Not bad."
Hearing this, Chiaki couldn't help giving him a high look. Not only did he deal with the reporter's difficult question, but he also brought up the topic of the Heroes' Association.
'Well done... Of course, it would be even better if you stopped blinking at me'
