6 0006: A quiet day, for once

"Kurogiri, where are my jeans and t-shirts?" Tomura asked his long term assistant and caretaker.

"Tomura in the wardrobe to the left, why?" Kurogiri questioned.

"I need an outfit that looks decent since I'm meeting up with some friends." Now this made Kurogiri stop polishing the glass he had in his hand as he quickly turned to face Tomura.

"You are meeting up with friends?" He said, baffled.

Clicking his tongue, annoyed. Tomura replied "No need to sound surprised. But I've got some friends to meet up with this Wednesday."

"Where are you meeting?" Kurogiri pressed further.

"Just a gaming cafe run by a friend of mine."

Kurogiri set down his glass on the counter top. "We are getting you an outfit sorted now."

With that Tomura was then subjected to an hour and a half of Kurogiri having him trying numerous different outfits till he found one that looked nice.

A set of grey jeans, with a black turtleneck to hide his scratchmarks and a red hoodie to match his red high tops. From out of nowhere Kurogiri provided him with leather gloves that had been made to cover two fingers to avoid him disintegrating.

The misty man wiped a non-existent tear from his eyes at the outfit he managed to concoct from Tomura's lack of selection. Realising how monumental this was he decided to inform the Master.

"Tomura, I'm going to speak with the Master now but could you quickly tell me where the cafe is?"

"Alright, it's on Hiro Street in Mustafu."

"Thank you. Now make sure not to ruin that outfit or you will have to wear one of Master's ironic shirts as punishment." Kurogiri shuddered at the memory of Master's shirts with statements like 'Pants', 'Running Clothes' and 'Villain Outfit'.

Stepping through a portal he was greeted by a well lit room where his Master sat working on documents and the sort to manage his companies out of Japan. He turned to greet Kurogiri as he entered.

"Kurogiri, what brings you here today?" The Master said.

"I'm here to inform you it seems Young Tomura is going out on an excursion to meet his friends on the upcoming Wednesday. It seems that he's slowly building some social skills."

"That's wonderful news. Better late than never but pray tell where he plans to go?"

"It seems like a gaming cafe in Mustafu."

"The one on Hiro Street?" The Master asked.

"That is the exact one. Is there an issue with the venue?"

"No, it's fine. Just make sure he gets there safely and does not use his quirk in the venue whatsoever. We cannot have him risk being found too soon."

"Understood." With that Kurogiri headed back out to the bar.

All for One smiled at the thought. 'It seemed my boys were already acquainted with each other. I should go see Inko that day then.'

Izuku's Tuesday had gone by quite quickly as it was Melissa there again. Though there were a couple students that tried it out, unfortunately getting too scared by the immersion mode and sticking to its normal version. They enjoyed it but it did not look like they planned on coming back anytime soon so he quickly checked his mission status.

He was wondering what to do to get more customers, at least he would finally meet his friends tomorrow. Getting up he decided to start cleaning up the shop so he could close and leave without anything else to do. But as he was sweeping he heard someone entering. As he turned around he saw his mother smiling.

"Mum," he said, going to hug her.

"Why can't I visit my own son while he's working?" She fake pouted at him.

He chuckled. "No, it's fine. I was cleaning up since we close in an hour or so. Melissa left earlier."

Inko's eyes narrowed slyly. "Izuku, who's Melissa?" She had a grin on her face.

"U-uh she's just a customer that came here consistently for the past two days. That's all."

Inko hums with a tone of 'Suuure.'

Fumbling in his pocket he pulls out a key loop. "This is for the apartment upstairs. The franchise group had it furnished as a part of the contract and because I got a property quickly."

"That's nice of them. Let me just put these dishes I made upstairs." With that she headed to the apartment.

Soon it struck ten and he decided to close the shop for the night. Going upstairs he could smell the food that his mother had made being heated up on the stove with a couple plates set.

His mouth started to drool a little at the scent of Katsudon in the air.

"Mum, that smells great. How long till it's heated."

"Just a couple minutes." At that moment her phone began to ring. "Izuku, can you answer the call, sweetie."

Reaching for the phone he saw it said 'Hisashi' and he answered. "Hey dad."

"Izuku, how are you? Also where is your mother?" His father asked.

"I'm fine. We are in the cafe apartment about to eat dinner."

"The cafe had an apartment? That's nice. Anyways, I need to tell your mother something quickly."

"Okay, can we talk a little later when you are done?"

"Of course."

With that he passed the phone to his mother. "Hisashi, what did you need to talk about darling?"

While his parents talked he decided to get changed into some clothing that he had brought with him in case he needed to stay in the apartment more often. While he was pulling on a t-shirt his mother made an excited shrill. Panicking, t-shirt half on he appeared in the main living area and looked at his mother.

"Mum, what happened?"

"Izuku, your dad is visiting tomorrow he'll be here for a few days."

"Really!" Izuku was incredibly excited at the prospect of seeing his father. He knew his dad had been recovering in America and he lost his sight from the accident. Somehow dad managed to get a friend of his to use his quirk on him that allowed him to see albeit in only a small radius around him. Izuku didn't care about the logistics even if he was curious about a quirk that could partially solve blindness. He was happy his dad could still see.

"Izuku, Hisashi wants to talk to you."

He took the phone and his dad started asking him about his day and how the cafe was. Slowly time ticked by as he and his father discussed the struggles of his newly opened cafe and the fact his father was planning to try out the game system.
