Chapter 172:- Eri's First Shopping

The sun shone brightly as Izuku, Kaina, Momo, Maki, and Fuyumi gathered around the front door. Eri stood in the middle, her eyes wide with excitement and a bit of nervousness. She clutched her teddy bear tightly, her heart racing with anticipation.

"Are you ready, Eri?" Izuku asked, kneeling to her level. His eyes were soft and filled with warmth.

Eri nodded eagerly, her small hands gripping the bear even tighter. "Yes, big brother Izuku! Where are we going first?"

"We're going to take you shopping first!" Maki said, clapping her hands together. Her excitement was contagious, and Eri couldn't help but smile. "We're going to buy you lots of clothes and toys. You'll get to pick whatever you like!"

Eri's eyes lit up. "Really? I can choose anything?"

Momo laughed, gently patting Eri's head. "Of course, Eri. You can choose whatever you like."

"Let's get going then," Kaina said, opening the door. "We have a lot to do, and we don't want to miss out on any fun!"

They all stepped out into the warm sunshine, heading towards the bustling shopping district.

Eri was on Izuku's shoulders, occasionally changing shoulders as all of them wanted to hold Eri. She felt safe and happy, surrounded by her new family.

At the Shopping District

The shopping district was alive with color and sound. Eri's eyes darted around, taking in the bright shop windows and the people bustling about. She had never seen so many exciting things in one place.

"Wow," she whispered, her eyes wide with wonder. "There's so much here!"

Izuku smiled, feeling a warmth in his heart as he watched Eri's amazement. "This is just the beginning, Eri. Let's go see what we can find for you."

They walked into the first store, a children's clothing shop filled with bright colors and cheerful music. Eri's eyes sparkled as she looked at the rows of dresses, shirts, and shoes. She had never had the chance to choose her own clothes before, well who are we kidding she's just 6, how can she choose her clothes.

Maki knelt beside her, holding up a pretty pink dress with ruffles. "What do you think of this one, Eri?"

Eri's eyes lit up. "It's so pretty! Can I try it on?"

"Of course you can!" Momo said, guiding Eri towards the fitting rooms. "Let's see how it looks on you."

Eri disappeared into the fitting room, with Momo helping her try on the dress. When she stepped out, everyone's eyes widened in delight.

"You look adorable!" Fuyumi said, clapping her hands together. "It suits you perfectly." Eri looked like a cute teddy bear whom Fuyumi wanted to snuggle.

Eri blushed, a shy smile spreading across her face. "Do you really think so?"

"Absolutely," Izuku said, beaming with pride. "You look like a princess, Eri."

Fuyumi took pictures of her in the dress as she made posses and showed it to Eri, "Look how cute and pretty you look," said Fuyumi

Eri nodded and giggled happily, twirling around in the dress. "I love it! Can I get this one?"

"Of course," Kaina said, her eyes soft with affection. "You can get as many as you want."

They spent the next hour trying on different clothes, each new outfit bringing more smiles and laughter. Eri picked out a few more dresses, some cute shirts, and a pair of sparkling shoes that made her eyes light up with joy.

Then they went to the Toy Store

After finishing with the clothes, they headed to a toy store. Eri's excitement was almost too much to contain. She ran from aisle to aisle, her eyes wide with wonder at all the toys.

"Look at this one!" she exclaimed, holding up a stuffed unicorn almost as big as she was. "It's so fluffy!"

Maki laughed, hugging Eri tightly. "Do you want to take it home with you?"

Eri nodded vigorously. "Yes, please!"

"Then it's yours," Momo said, adding the unicorn to their growing pile of toys.

They moved on, exploring the rest of the store. Eri picked out a set of building blocks, a puzzle, and a set of toy animals. Each new toy made her smile brighter, and her happiness was infectious.

"This is the best day ever," Eri said, her eyes shining with joy. "Thank you so much!"

"Like I said, you won't be sad anymore, Eri," Izuku said, ruffling her hair. "We're just happy to see you smile." Added the girls.

After a few hours of shopping, they decided to take a break for lunch. They found a cozy little café with a big outdoor seating area, perfect for relaxing in the sunshine.

Eri sat on Izuku's lap, surrounded by Momo and Maki, while Kaina and Fuyumi sat in front of her, her eyes wide as she looked at the menu. "I can choose anything I want to eat?" she asked, her voice full of wonder.

"Anything you want," Kaina said, smiling.

Eri looked at the menu for a moment before pointing to a picture of a big ice cream sundae. "Can I have that?"

"Of course! We'll order that for dessert" Momo said, smiling. "And what else would you like to eat?"

Eri thought for a moment. "I'd like a sandwich, please. And maybe some fries?"

"Coming right up!" Izuku said, giving the order to the waiter.

As they waited for their food, they chatted and laughed, enjoying the warm day and each other's company.

As the day came to an end, they made their way back home, their arms full of bags and boxes. Eri was exhausted but happy, her eyes heavy with sleep as she clutched her new teddy bear and her unicorn.

"Did you have a good time, Eri?" Izuku asked, smiling at her.

Eri nodded, her eyes closing as she leaned against him. "Yes, big brother Izuku. This was the best day ever. Thank you."

"We're glad you had fun," Maki said, her voice soft. "We'll have many more days like this, I promise."

Eri smiled, feeling a warmth in her heart. "I can't wait." However, her eyes were betraying her, as she kept on stumbling.

As they reached home, Eri fell asleep in Izuku's arms, her face peaceful and content. They carefully tucked her into bed, surrounding her with her new toys.

Izuku watched her sleep, his heart full of love and determination. "I promise, Eri. I'll always keep you safe and happy," he whispered, kissing her forehead. Her face was peaceful, a faint smile playing on her lips.

The others nodded in agreement, each feeling the same fierce protectiveness for the little girl who had stolen their hearts. Together, they knew they would give Eri the happiness she deserved, no matter what.

Izuku sat on the edge of her bed, watching her sleep. He felt a deep sense of love and protectiveness for Eri, and he knew he had to do everything he could to keep her safe. He gently placed his hand on her forehead, his expression turning serious.

"Guys," he said softly, looking up at Kaina, Momo, Maki, and Fuyumi who had gathered around the door. "There's something I need to do for Eri. So please wait outside, and don't make any noise."

The others nodded, their faces reflecting their trust and concern. Izuku took a deep breath, focusing on his quirk. His hand began to glow with a faint, shimmering light as he activated his glitch quirk.

"Her quirk is dangerous, for her more than to others," Izuku said quietly, his eyes never leaving Eri's peaceful face. "Rewind can cause a lot of harm if she can't control it. She doesn't deserve to go through more pain, not twice."

Izuku closed his eyes, concentrating. He felt his quirk flowing through him, reaching out to touch Eri's quirk. He found the core of her power, a bright, swirling energy deep within her horn. With a gentle, careful touch, he began to weave his glitch quirk around it, forming a protective seal.

As he worked, memories of Eri's past flickered through his mind. The dark basement where she had been kept, the cruel experiments, and the moment she had accidentally rewound someone out of existence.

He felt a pang of sorrow for the little girl, but also a fierce determination to protect her from ever experiencing such pain again.

"Almost there," he whispered, his voice filled with concentration.

The light around his hand grew brighter for a moment, then slowly faded as he finished sealing Eri's quirk. He let out a deep breath, feeling the weight of the task he had just completed and the burden Eri was carrying up till now.

He decided to take that burden from her. Eri's too small to carry such a big burden, as he used his quirk to send oxytocin, the happiness hormone, replacing all the cortisol from her mind.

Eri's quirk was now dormant, safely contained until she was ready to use it without fear.

Eri felt calm and happy as if her nightmare had turned into a happy dream. As soon as Izuku placed his hand on her, she clutched Izuku's leg, leaving the teddy bear she was holding, as if she found an even better thing to hold, she continued sleeping blissfully.

He let her sleep like that for a while, then slowly came out of her grip, placing the teddy bear in her arms again as he left her room.

Izuku sat on the dining table, Momo stepped forward, placing a gentle hand on Izuku's shoulder. "What did you do?"

"I'm sealed her quirk," Izuku replied, his voice calm but firm. "Not forever though, just until she's ready to handle it and a bit more mature. I don't want her to accidentally hurt anyone or herself. She's been through too much already."

Kaina nodded in agreement. "It's for the best. She needs to have a chance at a normal, happy life first, after that she can train her quirk, I'll help her with that."

"Is it done?" Maki asked, her voice soft with concern.

Izuku nodded, "Yes. She won't accidentally use Rewind now. She's safe."

Fuyumi stepped forward, her eyes filled with a mix of relief and sadness. She had read Eri's file and knew what happened for her to be in a predicament. "You are right, Izuku. She deserves a chance to be happy without the fear of hurting anyone, especially after what she's gone through"

Izuku stood up, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him. The emotional weight of the day, combined with the effort of using his quirk in such a delicate manner, had taken its toll. But knowing Eri wouldn't be hurt because of her quirk, and was now sleeping peacefully, made it all worth it.

"I'm going for a bath, if you want you guys can join me," said Izuku to which Kaina, Maki, and Momo nodded.

Fuyumi, hearing this, was hesitant as she still felt like an outsider, and was thinking it was her cue to go home.

Izuku saw the hesitation in her eyes and said, "You can join as well Fuyumi, since we aren't going to be having sex, it shouldn't be a problem, right girls?" Said Izuku as he looked towards the girls, who simply nodded knowing she was their sister as well.

Listening to which Fuyumi's face lit up, as she nodded happily.
