[MHCISQD] Chapter 255: Visiting Eri
Added 2023-06-18 20:17:07 +0000 UTCThe crowd dispersed, paying no attention to the Grape Mineta, leaving him devastated beyond imagination. As he turned around, he saw Renault who had just arrived. Immediately, he rushed towards Renault, clinging to him like a lifeline.
"Renault, give me your opinion on my dance just now. Why do they think I have no hope?" Grape asked, full of anticipation in his eyes.
"Hmm..." Renault glanced at Grape with a smile, patting him on the shoulder, and said, "Man, it's important to have self-awareness. Just focus on your studies and think about other things."
After speaking, he went to find other people to chat with and gather information. Leaving Grape alone that gradually turned pale and stood there motionless.
After making the rounds, although many of them didn't have a background in dancing, with Ashido providing guidance, their progress was objectively good. It was believed that they would deliver a stunning performance at the upcoming cultural festival.
"But it seems like someone is missing?"
While correcting their movements under Ashido's guidance, Iida said, "Midoriya was called away by Aizawa-sensei earlier. It seems to be related to the Shie Hassaikai incident you all participated in before."
'Shie Hassaikai? Is there some follow-up to the mission? It seems unlikely...' Renault pondered and quickly understood that it must be related to Eri's situation.
Sure enough, when Renault returned to practice for a while and was about to look for Yaoyorozu, Midoriya returned.
"Renault-kun, do you have time?" Midoriya had a joyful smile on his face as he called Renault out of the practice room. "Aizawa-sensei just told me that we can visit Eri-chan today!"
"Today?"
Midoriya nodded and said, "Aizawa-sensei said that Eri-chan has been recovering well lately. The fluctuations in her Quirk have mostly settled, and her emotions are stable. And these days, Eri-chan expressed a desire to see us. After considering it, Aizawa-sensei agreed."
Upon hearing this, Renault naturally agreed with a nod. "It would be best if we can go. When do we leave?"
"Right now."
"So soon?"
Ten minutes later, Renault and Midoriya got into the car driven by Aizawa himself.
While driving, Aizawa said, "The safehouse we are going to today has been relocated for the third time. With the recent activities of the League of Villains in other places, they can't locate Eri-chan. Today, you will visit her, spend some time with her, and in a few days, she can leave the safehouse completely and start a new life."
"Will she come to U.A.?"
Aizawa nodded. "That's the best choice for now. The school is a vibrant place, and U.A. can provide positive guidance for Eri who has been raised in Shie Hassaikai. Well, she was already a very kind-hearted person to begin with."
"That's true." Renault rubbed his chin and said, "Although a place like elementary school would be more suitable for Eri-chan compared to U.A., none of us can be certain if her Quirk might undergo changes due to some small accidents. So it's safer at U.A. Although Kaminari and those guys may be unreliable, the girls in our class are very trustworthy and will take good care of her."
"I never said she would stay in your dormitory."
"Then, Aizawa-sensei, do you have a better place to choose?" Renault looked at Aizawa in the driver's seat and smiled. "Actually, it's best for Eri-chan to be under your care, given your Quirk."
"..." Aizawa rolled his eyes and said, "I'm already fed up with you all marvel students, and I don't want to experience the pain of raising a child so early."
"Tch."
"Kid, did you just click your tongue?" Aizawa tightened his grip on the steering wheel, but looking at Renault's indifferent gaze out the window through the rearview mirror, and Midoriya sitting upright, not daring to speak, he sighed lightly. He could only vent his frustration through driving.
After half an hour, the car stopped in front of an ordinary-looking residential house.
"Is this the safehouse?" Renault got out of the car and looked around with curiosity.
Aizawa said, "This is where Eri lives. The two houses behind and a few nearby houses are inhabited by security personnel, so the safety here is reliable. Unless, an overwhelming number of Nomu appear, of course."
Listening to Aizawa's calm but confident words, Renault and Midoriya exchanged glances and followed him into the house.
The room's interior decoration looked similar to an ordinary house, but Renault still noticed the presence of cameras and electronic equipment in some discreet places.
Renault wasn't angry about it. As long as they were arranged in a way that Eri couldn't see, it was a necessary precaution.
Standing in front of a room on the second floor, Aizawa looked back at the two boys behind him and said, "You guys can go in. Togata is inside as well."
He knocked on the door, and soon footsteps and Togata's voice came from inside, "Coming, coming!"
Opening the door, Togata's figure appeared in front of the two people.
"Oh! You guys are here. Eri-chan has been waiting for a long time!" Togata turned around and said to the little girl sitting on the bed, "Eri-chan, we have visitors!"
Renault and Midoriya walked in and noticed that what Aizawa had said was true. Eri looked very well now, with a joyful smile on her face. The small horn on her forehead, caused by her Quirk ability, had also become smaller compared to what they had seen before. This was a clear sign of her ability stabilizing.
"Eri-chan, long time no see." The two people approached the bed, smiling and greeting Eri.
Although Eri was a bit shy, she was mostly happy. "Renault-nii, Midoriya-nii, hello."
The little one was indeed adorable.
Renault opened his bag and took out a small box that Yaoyorozu had given him before they left. He placed it in front of Eri and said, "Although it's just the two of us today, our schoolmates, upon hearing about it, asked us to bring some snacks made by a few elder sisters. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to make them ourselves. But next time you come, we'll make even more delicious treats for you."
"Thank you!" Eri didn't expect there would be a gift, so she immediately opened the box and saw the pieces of cookies inside.
Seeing this, Togata exclaimed, "Wow, did the girls from your class make these? They look really good. I'll go get something to drink. Eri-chan, you should try them quickly."
After Togata left, Eri picked up a small piece of cookie under the smiles of Renault and Midoriya and put it in her mouth. The next moment, a happy smile bloomed on her face.
It was fortunate that Yaoyorozu and the others did a great job making them yesterday. Otherwise, they would have had to buy something along the way.
Looking at the recovered little girl, Renault thought for a moment and said to Midoriya beside him, "Midoriya, I have an idea."
"What is it?"
"What do you think about bringing Eri-chan to our cultural festival?"
"Cultural festival?" Midoriya didn't expect Renault to ask this question, but he quickly revealed a surprised smile. "Yeah, the cultural festival!"
"Cultural festival?" With cookie crumbs on her lips, Eri tilted her head curiously, her face full of wonder.
