[MHCISQD] Chapter 115: Gift

After arriving at the scene, the police immediately evacuated the crowd and closed off the area.

At this time, Renault had already changed clothes and came down from the second floor of the shopping center without any flaws, and joined the others.

Seeing Renault arrive late, the others asked curiously, "Renault-kun, where did you go just now?"

Kaminari exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Yeah, you don't know? Something big happened just now!"

"I know, but I found someone had helped Midoriya, so I didn't come out," Renault shrugged and said, "Besides, Shigaraki has a big grudge against me for some reason. If I really showed up in front of him, it would have made things worse. Also, you should all know that we're U.A. students, and we must follow the rules. Midoriya did a good job on this, even though he almost couldn't hold it in the end."

"Etto... hahaha" Midoriya couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this. He really couldn't hold back at the time and wanted to join the fight, but fortunately, Shigaraki fled, avoiding making the situation worse.

As they spoke, the police checked the scene and the surveillance footage, and then came to the Class A students.

The head police officer looked at Midoriya and the others with a wry smile and said, "You kids in this year's class, I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky. But Midoriya-kun, your performance was excellent. You withstood the fear of being controlled by villains and didn't let the situation escalate. We have confirmed the sequence of events, but we still hope that you can come with us to the police station to make a formal statement. Also, we would like you to describe the appearance of Shigaraki Tomura. You should have seen his complete appearance this time, right?"

Midoriya nodded and said, "No problem."

He knew that there were police officers in the force who knew the true identity of All Might, and they had a good relationship with U.A. So he wasn't worried about being treated unfairly if he went to the police station. However, he was worried about being late going home and that his mother would be informed.

Thinking of this, Midoriya had a headache.

After watching Midoriya get into the police car and leave, the others bought their things and went home.

Saying goodbye to his schoolmates, Renault put on his helmet and got on his motorcycle. As he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a gaze coming from the other side of the road.

Turning his head, he found nothing there.

"Was it an illusion? Am I becoming paranoid?"

Renault frowned and looked towards the source of the gaze for a while.

After confirming that he really didn't find anything, he started the motorcycle and left the shopping center. He still had to buy ingredients for tonight's dinner. Mikoto had sent a message earlier saying what she wanted to eat.

After Renault left, on the ground opposite the shopping center, where no one was originally present, there was a fluctuation in the air, and suddenly a male head with yellow short hair and a smile on his face emerged from underground.

Looking towards the direction in which Renault had left, the man smiled and said, "You really are a perceptive student. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I might have been discovered. Unfortunately, I just happened to come here while on a mission. If I had arrived five minutes earlier, I might have been able to catch someone. I should go back and report."

After speaking, he once again disappeared into the ground.

On the other side, Renault went straight back home after buying ingredients and a household grill.

Yes, that girl Mikoto wanted to eat barbecue. Wasn't she afraid of Evolto's flying knives? Well, joking aside, Renault would still satisfy her little request, and he bought a barbecue grill that they didn't have before.

"I'm back."

Renault opened the door and shouted, "Mikoto, help me take these things inside!"

"I'm coming!"

Running over to the door, Mikoto took the large bag from his hand and asked, "Senpai, did you have fun this afternoon?"

"Well, it's hard to say," Renault hesitated.

"Um?"

Just to give a brief summary, Renault noticed that Mikoto's hair was wet, her face was a little red, and she had changed her clothes.

"Did you just take a shower?"

Caught off guard, Mikoto blushed a little and replied, "Yeah, I was busy this afternoon and got a little sweaty, so I borrowed your shower to clean up."

"No problem, feel free to use it anytime," Renault said with a smile as he picked up the barbecue grill box from the ground and walked inside.

As soon as he entered the living room, he noticed something different and looked surprised as he turned to Mikoto.

"Did you clean up?"

Mikoto didn't expect Renault to notice so quickly and looked down at her feet, speaking softly. "Um, well... I didn't want to keep bothering you all the time, so I thought I'd do something to help out. I cleaned up the house a little..."

Then, Mikoto felt a big hand on her head, gently rubbing it.

"Good job," Renault said warmly. "And as a reward for your hard work..."

He pulled a small, pink box out of his bag and handed it to Mikoto. She was a bit surprised and asked, "What is this?"

"It's for you," Renault replied. "Go ahead and open it. And since you helped me clean today, you don't need to come to the kitchen. Just take a rest."

After placing the object into Mikoto's hand, Renault didn't know what to say. He quickly picked up a pile of things and hurried into the kitchen, even closing the kitchen door behind him.

Holding a small box in her hand, Mikoto stared at the closed kitchen door, then looked at the object in her hand. Her face turned red in an instant.

"This... is this a gift?"

She immediately sat on the sofa and carefully opened the package, then opened the box and took out what was inside.

"This is..."

Looking at the small and delicate, all-silver pendant in her hand, Mikoto's smile couldn't be hidden. Her mouth was even almost stretched to her ears.

"Hehehe..."

Lying on the sofa, holding the pendant, Mikoto swung her legs freely under her hot pants, showing her happy mood.

Her preferences had been exposed to Renault shortly after they met, and although she protested a few times for him not to bring up those embarrassing topics again, he did keep his promise and didn't mention them.

However, Mikoto didn't expect that he would still remember, and even buy her gifts.

In the kitchen, Renault was cutting vegetables and listening to the laughter coming from outside. He too had a smile on his face.
