[MHCISQD] Chapter 302: Trouble

Renault noticed gazes coming from the girls' side as he wiped Eri's mouth.

"What's wrong?"

The girls shook their heads, and Yaoyorozu's face grew even redder.

He didn't get it, but whatever.

While taking care of Eri, Renault started eating as well.

Although it was a fast-food restaurant, the taste was not bad, barely a seven out of ten.

Not only Renault, but others as well, thought that the food in the fast-food restaurant was just alright. After all, whether it was food in the dormitory or U.A.'s school cafeteria, the deliciousness couldn't compare to this ordinary fast-food restaurant.

Only Eri seemed extremely happy with her kids' meal.

After finishing her french fries, Ashido said, somewhat bored, "I should have packed a lunch and eaten outside."

"Don't forget it's snowing today. It's not a good time for a picnic." Yaoyorozu reminded her.

Renault agreed, "Yeah if we want to have a picnic, we should wait until April or May next year. By then, we can also enjoy the cherry blossoms."

"Oh, that's a great suggestion! Let's remember that and go see the cherry blossoms together next year!" Ashido Mina exclaimed with excitement.

"Cherry blossoms, huh? That sounds nice!"

"We missed them this year, but we can't miss them next year!"

As everyone engaged in a lively discussion about their plans for the next year, Renault deeply regretted his casual remark. How did it become such a serious topic?

Suddenly, someone pulled on his clothes. Renault turned and saw Eri looking at him with her shiny, wide eyes.

"...Alright, alright, we'll go see the cherry blossoms together next year," Renault said.

Renault really liked Eri, and he couldn't refuse her requests. Besides, seeing the cherry blossoms sounded nice.

After lunch, everyone continued their exploration of the zoo.

Apart from observing the animals, there were also various interactive performances. Renault took Eri and interacted with different small animals and even took some photos.

After a full round of fun, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Having had a busy day, Eri was starting to feel tired. Renault carried her, and her little head rested on his shoulder.

As they walked toward the zoo's exit, Renault glanced at the gradually intensifying snowfall in the sky. He adjusted Eri's hat and scarf and said, "Let's hurry back. It seems like the snow tonight will get heavier."

On the other side, Midoriya took out his phone and checked, saying, "Indeed, the weather forecast says the snowfall will increase tonight, and it's expected to last for two to three days."

"Well, that's actually quite nice. It's not common to have consecutive snow days in Tokyo, especially of this scale." Although the low temperature was unpleasant, with the snowfall, even the grumpiest person's mood would improve a bit.

After all, it offered a chance to see a different scenery.

Unlike the zoo, this time Renault didn't leave Eri in the care of the girls. The little girl had fallen asleep leaning against him.

Renault could only say to the girls, "I'll take care of Eri-chan. We'll be home soon."

They boarded the car and headed home.

"The snow was getting heavier."

The car continued to drive, and Togata stretched lazily. "It's been a while since I relaxed like this, not thinking about anything."

"Is Sir Nighteye giving you too many missions?" Renault glanced at Togata and Midoriya, smiling as he asked.

"It's not that there are too many missions, but Sir always likes to assign us cases that can't be solved directly. Fighting is secondary; the main challenge is using our brains..." Midoriya recalled the missions from recent times, finding them somewhat challenging.

Togata wholeheartedly agreed, "Exactly! I'm the least skilled when it comes to these types of cases. If it weren't for Midoriya here, I would be completely lost. It's not just me; even Nejire Tamaki, the two of them, aren't good at these kinds of cases either. Oh well, maybe we've found an area for improvement?"

"Speaking of improvement, Senpai, both you and Amajiki-senpai should be fine, but as for Hado-senpai, her disposition... she's often a bit slow on the uptake." Renault imagined involving Hado in these types of cases that needed intelligence and concluded that it would be impossible to solve them smoothly.

"Hahaha, you shouldn't say that about her. Most of the time, she's really amazing. It's just that she occasionally gets sidetracked," Togata understood his friend well.

As they discussed recent cases, suddenly Renault's phone rang, and the car came to a halt at the same time.

Answering the call, Renault asked, "What's up?"

On the other end of the line, Yaoyorozu said, "Renault-kun, there's trouble up ahead. A group of unidentified people is causing chaos on the streets, attacking and robbing people. There have been injuries among the crowd."

"Right ahead? Got it. You guys come and pick up Eri-chan."

Ending the call, Renault turned to Togata and Midoriya and said, "Did you hear that? Something's happening."

Togata nodded, "We can't just ignore it, even if we don't know who they are."

"What about Eri-chan?" Midoriya glanced at the little girl in Renault's arms.

"The girls will take care of her. The three of us should be enough to handle this. Let's get out of the car."

Outside, with the cold wind blowing, Eri shrank her neck and woke up.

Noticing that they weren't at school, she asked in confusion, "Renault-nii, what's happening?"

Renault didn't hide anything and replied directly, "There's a criminal incident on the street, and big brothers need to help. Eri-chan, can you stay with Yaoyorozu-nee and the others, alright?"

"Are there bad guys?"

Hearing Renault's words, Eri obediently nodded. She got out of the car and joined Yaoyorozu, who had come over.

After stretching their limbs, Renault glanced at the two drivers who had already disembarked and were acting as bodyguards. He said to Yaoyorozu, "You guys handle things here. We'll go ahead and stabilize the situation."

"Leave it to us."

Although the fighting abilities of these girls weren't at the top of their class, they were skilled in control and defense. With proper coordination between Yaoyorozu, Jiro, and Uraraka on the offensive side, they could still be highly effective.

With the rear arrangements in place, the three of them didn't linger and headed straight for the trouble spot.

Turning a corner and passing another intersection, they saw the scene unfolding before them.

A group of 15 people was engaged in vandalism and destruction here, causing chaos with people fleeing in panic.

"Seriously, we hardly get a chance to relax and enjoy a day, and now they have to go and cause trouble."

Taking a deep breath, Renault rushed forward first.

"Let's evacuate the crowd."

"Understood."

Encountering the three of them, these criminals were destined to have an unfortunate outcome.
