[MHCISQD] Chapter 181: Bonding

Soon, the doorbell of Renault's house rang, and when he went to open the door, he saw Mikoto standing at the entrance.

"Don't you have a key? Why are you ringing the doorbell?"

He stepped aside to let her in and suddenly noticed that her hair had grown a bit longer in the past two weeks.

"Are you planning to grow out your hair?" Renault asked.

"You noticed?" Mikoto replied, smiling. "I wanted to try a new look, but it's growing slower than I thought. I'm a bit disappointed."

Her hair had been short before, which gave her a lively and refreshing look. However, lately, she had been looking at fashion magazines and styling tips and decided to change up her look. Since she was still a student and didn't have much time or experience with fashion, she decided to start with growing her hair.

She had even simulated what she would look like with long hair on her computer and thought it looked good, so she made the decision to grow it out.

Unfortunately, after only two weeks, it hadn't grown much at all.

"Long hair, huh..." Renault had never imagined Mikoto with long hair before. Seeing the slight change, he couldn't help but think it might suit her well.

After sitting down in the living room, he pulled out his provisional hero license and gave it to her as she had asked.

As she held his license and examined it closely, Mikoto felt excited. It was her first time holding a hero license in her own hands, even if it was only provisional. Renault had mentioned that even two of the strongest students in their class, Todoroki Shoto and Bakugo Katsuki, hadn't obtained it.

"Congratulations on obtaining your provisional hero license. Will your workload be even busier next semester?" Mikoto asked.

"I'm not sure yet. The school hasn't informed us about the specifics for next semester. But since we passed the provisional hero license exam, I think the school will make use of it and assign us more responsibilities," Renault replied.

"Does that mean you'll be doing another internship like last time?"

Renault nodded. "It might be even more formal this time since we're already halfway into the Pro Hero field."

"Hehe, but you still have to obtain the full hero license, right? Plus your other hero identity, I wonder how you'll manage your time when that time comes," Mikoto teased.

Watching her gloating expression, he also laughed and pulled her into his arms, lightly biting her lips and saying, "You dare to make fun of me, don't you know that my other identity is only known to All Might? Even if there's a mission that requires Evolto's appearance, it will be through All Might's contact with me. As a teacher at U.A., All Might won't just let me take on any mission casually. I've told you all this before, and yet you still dare to say it. Are you asking for trouble, hmm?"

Taken aback by his sudden attack, she blushed.

"Let go of me, Senpai. There are other people at home!"

"You mean Yuriko? She's in her room reading; she won't come out." Looking at her blushing face, his thoughts also became more active.

Unfortunately, teenage boys tend to be restless after getting a girlfriend. He had been focused on training at school before, so he didn't have time to think about other things, but now that he had relaxed; he had to put in more effort to control himself.

Mikoto seemed to sense his change and shrank her neck in unease. "Senpai..."

But he also knew that he couldn't do anything excessive in the living room. So, he simply held her in his arms and chatted with her.

Upstairs, in Yuriko's room.

Yuriko sat on the bed with a book in her hand and various books were scattered around her. She had actually noticed Mikoto's arrival a long time ago.

After spending some time together, although they still bickered from time to time, Yuriko was no longer hostile to Mikoto. She was just a tsundere who refused to admit it.

For her, having a peaceful place to stay was already the best result. Now, she not only had an elder brother to protect her, but she also had no more physical problems. She even had a friend, which was something she had never dared to imagine before.

The only problem was her own strength. Because of her physical condition, she couldn't make any further progress, and she might even regress as her body recovered in the future.

This was not the result she wanted. So during this time, she bought various books on biology, genetics, and Quirk research and started to study on her own. She was developing into a literary girl.

===

The next day, Renault woke up early and told Mikoto who was beside him that he must go back to school.

Indeed, after she said that she wouldn't be going back last night, he knew that good times were coming, and the two of them did the deed in his room and couldn't help but grow closer.

However, this morning, he still had to go back to school first to show his face before returning to spend the day with her.

After he left, Mikoto in the bed remembered last night's scenes, blushing and giggling. After a while, she fell asleep again.

Back at school, Renault changed out of his casual clothes and into his uniform before leaving his room. Everything was the same as usual, except that he was in an exceptionally good mood today.

On his way downstairs, he bumped into many classmates who were going to the cafeteria for breakfast, so they went together.

However, when they arrived at the hall in the public area, they found Midoriya and Bakugo using vacuum cleaners to clean up.

"Huh? Why are you two here? I don't remember it being your shift today," Kaminari asked in surprise, pointing to the two of them.

If Midoriya volunteered to help clean, that would be as expected, but Bakugo? That was absolutely impossible!

"Well..." Midoriya stopped what he was doing and shamefully explained what had happened.

To put it simply, he and Bakugo had sneaked out last night and fought on the school's training field, only to be caught by Aizawa and punished with detention and cleaning the dormitory.

After listening, Renault looked at the two of them unexpectedly. It seemed that Midoriya had not told the whole truth; there must be some hidden reason.

Could it be about his Quirk?
