[MHCISQD] Chapter 334: Date and Disturbance

"Finally, I found you!"

In the dark laboratory, the Doctor's aged face showed intense anger.

"After running for so long, I finally caught you."

However, what he didn't expect was that his escaped creation had ended up with Renault, and it seemed like Renault was protecting her.

"But what does it matter? Once I know your whereabouts, the only option for you is to come back and be my tool!"

As he spoke, the Doctor pressed a button, and the giant Nomu in the three cultivation tanks behind him opened its eyes.

Meanwhile, Renault and Mikumo were completely unaware of what was happening. They had already gotten off the bus and were walking towards their destination, a music store.

After the incidents on the bus, Renault made a move the moment they got off—he held Mikumo's hand.

Unlike Mikoto and Yaoyorozu, Mikumo's hand was relatively delicate, and holding it gave Renault a feeling of lightness, which was incredibly comfortable.

The moment Renault held Mikumo's hand, she stiffened for an instant but quickly relaxed and smiled.

The two of them strolled through the streets like a genuine couple.

Their original plan to visit the music store had slowed down significantly. Whenever Mikumo spotted a store of interest, they would go in and explore. If she found something she liked, Renault, not short of money, would naturally pay for it.

However, even though he wasn't short on money, the funds he currently had were obtained by robbing from gangs and underground organizations, leaving a little for himself each time, which added up over time.

He needed to find a way to make money; he couldn't rely solely on his ill-gotten gains.

There were ways to make money, of course. He could invest with the funds he had now and, if he chose the right targets, have a stable income.

But what Renault truly wanted was to establish his own hero office. By that time, with Yuriko, Mikoto, Mikumo, and a few others from his class, he could create a formidable team from the start.

A hero office not only required a powerful founding hero but also a network of hero resources.

As a U.A. student, Renault was in no shortage of potential future heroes. Considering his relationships with everyone in the class and the fact that they all aspired to be heroes, if he extended an invitation, surely people would join.

However, he had to wait until after graduation to establish the hero office.

While Mikumo was trying on a piece of clothing in front of the mirror, she noticed Renault's expression in the mirror and turned around to ask, "Renault, what's on your mind?"

Renault snapped out of his thoughts and smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, just thinking about some things. Do you like that sweater? Why not try it on?"

Renault thought the white turtleneck sweater Mikumo had in her hands looked pretty good.

Mikumo glanced at Renault before entering the changing room with the sweater.

Soon, the door opened again, and Mikumo, now wearing the white turtleneck sweater, approached Renault. In a lower voice, she asked, "How does it look?"

Mikumo had a great figure, tall with all the right curves. Stripping off her coat and donning the fitted sweater accentuated her physique even more.

Renault couldn't help but take a deep breath and enthusiastically gave Mikumo a thumbs-up. "Looks great, suits you perfectly."

Then, he turned to the nearby shop attendant and said, "We'll take this one."

"Of course, sir."

The sales clerk who had been waiting nearby, immediately nodded with a beaming smile.

Ever since these two youngsters walked in, all the sales clerks noticed that they were big spenders.

Why?

Didn't they see the several bags the guy was holding, and every one of them was branded and not cheap?

Sure enough, they hadn't browsed many clothes before they both picked one. At this rate, would there be any left for others?

As for Mikumo, after wandering around for a while, she had grown accustomed to Renault's spending habits. Besides, his unabashed glances when she came out made her both shy and happy. After a little thought, she grabbed two more clothes she had previously considered and headed into the fitting room.

Fifteen minutes later, when the two left the store, Renault had four more bags in his hands, and the sales clerk sent them off with courtesy.

Having reached this point, Mikumo didn't want to continue shopping. She accompanied Renault to the piano store, where she picked a piano she admired.

However, apart from the display pianos in the store, the ones in stock needed to be brought from the warehouse, so they could only be delivered tomorrow.

Mikumo didn't mind waiting for a day, so after paying and noting the delivery address, the two left the piano store.

When they came out, there was still plenty of time.

"Mikumo, is there anywhere else you'd like to go next?"

"Aren't we going back?"

"It's still early. I rarely get to accompany you out, so let's go somewhere else you want to visit," Renault said with a smile, looking at the girl beside him.

Meeting Renault's gaze, Mikumo smiled back.

"Well then, let me think."

As they walked, Mikumo pondered their next destination.

"I've got an idea. How about we go—"

Before she could finish her sentence, they suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky, sensing something. Some passersby around them also raised their heads and let out fearful cries.

"It's a monster!!!"

"Run!!!"

In the sky, three enormous monsters with huge wings, bare upper bodies, and exposed brains were charging towards Renault and Mikumo.

It was Nomu, and it was clear they were heading straight for them.

No, they were targeting Mikumo.

Had they been discovered?

Without hesitation, Renault stood in front of Mikumo while clenching his right hand, and unleashed a powerful punch upward.

*BANG!*

The tremendous force, accompanied by the power to imprison space, controlled the three Nomu who were about to crash to the ground and forcefully sent them back into the air.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Renault handed the bags to Mikumo. "Now, I'll send you back to Yuriko immediately. Stay close to her, okay?"

Facing the appearance of the black hole beside her, Mikumo nodded and took a step forward, lightly touching Renault's lips with hers.

"Take care of yourself."

With those words, she entered the black hole directly.

After Mikumo left, Renault touched his lips and smiled, looking at the three injured Nomu rapidly recovering in the sky.

"Disturbing someone's date isn't exactly ethical, you know."
