[MHCISQD] Chapter 273: The Feast

Although some people may call them 'Brats' or something like that, Eri and the word 'Brats' just don't go together. She is incredibly well-behaved.

When she sees something she likes or is interested in, she doesn't demand it incessantly. Instead, she politely asks Renault.

And because Eri is so adorable, Renault naturally agrees to all her requests and buys whatever she wants.

So, when it was four o'clock and everyone gathered together...

"What the?! There are so many things!"

Ashido pointed at the huge teddy bear in Eri's arms and exclaimed, "What is this?"

"Oh, this..." Renault explained, "The second-grade support department opened a dart shop, you guys know about it, right? Those are the prizes from there."

"Ah! That shop is so unfair!" Kaminari, upon hearing that, said angrily, "I saw a prize there before, a newly released pair of headphones, so I participated. But they told me that participating students, especially from the hero department, had to wear weights and play a game! I can't handle that kind of weight at all, I couldn't even hit the target with a single dart!"

"There's a shop like that too? I didn't see it, but Kaminari, that just means you're not good enough," Ashido replied, patting Kaminari's shoulder with a hint of teasing.

"What?!" Kaminari swatted Ashido's hand away, not getting angry, and explained, "Although I understand that there might be differences in the weights for general department and hero department students, they made me wear ten kilograms on each hand. They must think very highly of me, but that's ten kilograms! Not one kilogram!"

"Oh! You're talking about that shop, huh? They have many prizes, but participants are always restricted," Togata chimed in, suddenly realizing. "Wearing weights is indeed a challenging way to play. The weight itself is secondary; the main issue is how much it affects the accuracy of throwing darts after wearing them. If you're not someone who has trained their strength consistently, it's impossible to get a prize."

"So, that means..."

Everyone looked at Renault and the prizes in Eri's hands.

While the teddy bear itself wasn't expensive, its size, good material, and the brand would drive up the price significantly.

Moreover, Eri didn't just have a huge teddy bear; she also had a set of dinosaur onesies, the kind with a hat and a tail, the type you can completely wrap yourself in. Eri would look incredibly cute wearing them.

Renault glanced down and noticed that Eri was looking at him innocently. He could only say, "Our training focuses are different. I've always emphasized strength training, although it may not be evident. But when it comes to pure strength, I'm not inferior to Kirishima. And what's more, it's just a matter of wearing weights on my hands; normally, I wear weights on my entire body. Today, because it's the cultural festival, I didn't wear them. That kind of dart game isn't too difficult for me; it's just a matter of getting used to it."

"This is the first time you're mentioning this, right?" Kirishima pondered and said, "Renault, is using weight equipment effective?"

"It can be tried by those who have a focus on close combat and require physical stamina, but it should be done within one's limits."

"Then, Renault, I want to train in that aspect. Can you help me prepare?" Kirishima raised his hand, looking expectant.

In the previous joint operation, although he eventually defeated the villains and protected Fat Gum, Kirishima himself was injured. After that, Kirishima realized that while his development direction was correct, he needed more than just the hardening level of his Quirk. Strength was also crucial, especially in his case.

Renault didn't refuse; if Kirishima's strength improved, it would be beneficial both for his solo battles and team cooperation.

"Sure, after the festival, I'll test you and set some goals. My weight training is done all day, even during academic classes and off-campus activities. Don't find it too challenging later."

"Haha! I can handle the hardship. Don't underestimate my pursuit of the path of a tough guy!"

Renault chuckled and genuinely appreciated Kirishima's personality.

"Alright, let's discuss your training later. For now, let's head back to the dormitory. It's time to prepare dinner. Eri-chan moved to U.A. today, and our performance was a great success. Let's celebrate with a feast."

"Oh!!!"

"A feast!!!"

"A feast?" Eri's eyes brightened upon hearing that.

"Yes, a feast~"

Eri opened her mouth wide, revealing a joyful smile.

"A feast~"

With Eri-chan in his arms, Renault walked towards the dormitory while asking Mikoto beside him, "Mikoto, should we invite Auntie to join us?"

"No need. I already asked her, but my mom said she and her friends are going out for drinks tonight. She also said that having dinner with us would remind her that she's not as young anymore, and she doesn't want to feel uncomfortable."

"...Alright then."

===

Half an hour later.

"Oh!!! Feast!!!"

The dormitory door swung open, and Hado bounced into Class A's dormitory with excitement written all over her face.

Following behind Hado, Amajiki also walked in. He looked at the exuberant Hado and helplessly remarked, "Can you be a bit more careful? At least it's the underclassmen's dormitory."

The arrival of the two individuals left everyone in the hall momentarily stunned, their gazes eventually converging on Togata.

Togata, who was playing cards with a few guys, looked up and smiled, saying, "I called them here. After all, they dragged me into this. If I hadn't invited them, and they found out later, I wouldn't have heard the end of it."

"Yeah, yeah, Mirio!" Hado walked over, pointing at Togata, and said, "If there's something delicious and you don't call me, I'll be upset! Ah! Eri-chan~~~"

However, when she saw Eri, her face lit up with a smile once again. She immediately embraced Eri, and the two of them began playfully rubbing their cheeks together, causing Eri to burst into laughter.

Regarding the arrival of the two seniors, Class A's members were merely surprised but not bothered. After all, they had all become close friends a long time ago.

After the playful antics, Hado dashed straight to the kitchen entrance and called out, "Renault!"

"Hmm?" Wearing an apron, Renault paused his actions on the cutting board, turned to look at Hado, and asked, "What's up Senpai?"

"I heard this feast from Mirio! He was the one who invited me you know!"

"Yeah, what about it?" Renault was a little confused.

"A~ah! Renault, you've forgotten our previous agreement, haven't you?"

"...Isn't it the same in the end? You still came in the end, didn't you?" Renault felt a bit embarrassed. He had indeed forgotten the previous agreement with Hado to invite her for dinner. Furthermore, as the conversation unfolded between the two, there were subtle glances coming from Mikoto and the other girls who were assisting nearby, making him feel a bit uneasy.

"Gnununu! Hmph!" Hado glared at Renault dissatisfiedly, hummed, and turned away.

"She's mad."

"She's definitely mad."

"Renault-kun, aren't you going to check on her?"

"You guys are so persistent!" Unable to bear Mikoto's gaze and the teasing from the girls anymore, Renault finally shouted out.
