Chapter 118: She Lost İnto The House

Blake rushed home using his speed after leaving OHRMG. He got in and out of the house in an instant, holding a box as he drove at super speed.

Blake had bought a gift a week ago, not just for Fuyumi and Teka, but for someone else.

The gifts Blake received were, respectively, a Tea Book for Fuyumi and a comprehensive stack of documents to solve her problems for Teka.

The pile of documents would completely solve Teka's problems in Japan. Teka's condition was similar to that of a person who had been stepped on and had fallen to the ground. Due to personal problems and the problems of her companies in Japan, she stumbled and fell, while other competitors around the world took this opportunity to step on her back.

With Blake's help, Teka would rise from the ashes and become a proud queen again.

The compressed stacks of documents inside the gift box had been prepared by him. Blake had memorized each of them as they regularly helped Teka with the girls. She would be able to completely solve her problems in compressed documents and return to being the queen that took place in his heart again.

Unfortunately, this queen did not belong to him. If she could belong to him, he could be the happiest man in the world and make her the happiest woman. Unfortunately, no matter what he did for her, she would not look at him but at Yoshino right behind him.

Blake headed towards his goal, not knowing that he had a place in Teka's heart.

As said above, he had received three gifts, and the last one belonged to Rei.

Todoroki women had an amazing feature. Teka, Rei, and Fuyumi were born on the same day. Three family members, who were unrelated to each other, had such an amazing feature. [EN: Not normally, it applies to my FF.]

Blake learned of Rei's birthday when he once spoke to her. It wasn't the main topic of their conversation, he had managed to find out about her birthday while they were talking about everyday matters.

Blake headed to the hospital at high speed.

***

Inside a certain hospital in Japan, a woman was sitting peacefully in her hospital bed. The woman was moderately watching the other side of the glass, smiling pleasantly, with her hands gathered in front of her belly as if she had no problem being alone in the quiet room.

"Happy~~ Birthday to~~ you...'' Contrary to her appearance, she was singing a small song in her slightly bittersweet voice. The song was a birthday song and her mature, upset voice that a mother might have made the song better.

When the angle was slightly changed, it was possible to see a piece of cake on the nightstand next to the woman. Like the woman's beautiful hair, a slice of cake with white clematis was resting on a plate on her bedside table.

This person was Rei Todoroki and today was her birthday.

Today was not only her birthday but also her daughter and mother-in-law. All the girls in the Todoroki family were surprisingly born today. The times of birth were different, but the day was the same.

Rei recalled a memory from years ago. On Fuyumi's 7th birthday, these three Todoroki women came together for the first time and celebrated their birthday. She remembered Fumimi's smile that day as if it were yesterday. She could only see the smile on her daughter's face that day when she was with Blake.

Fuyumi had talked about her 7th birthday for years. There was even a photo of her, herself, and Teka in their birthday hats at home. It was Fuyumi's most precious treasure even at this age.

Everyone knew this was Fuyumi's favorite birthday. Her siblings, her grandparents, and even Enji knew about it. But what none of them knew was that Rei, who smiled from the bottom of her heart in that photo, also valued her birthday very much.

From childhood, Rei had been a childish heart. She loved the princess and prince charming stories was a believer in love at first sight and looked forward to celebrating her birthdays.

Of course, it was just the feelings inside her. Because of her marriage to Enji, it was difficult for her to even celebrate her children's birthdays. If she was caught doing so, a severe session of beatings and mental abuse awaited her.

But despite all the beatings and mental abuses, Rei had managed to keep the little girl who resided in her heart alive. The little girl had been beaten, had bruises, and was dripping blood from her head. She didn't have a few teeth, but the smile she wore as a child remained bright.

Rei gently grasped the plate with both hands and placed it on her legs. The cake looked very appetizing but for some reason, it wasn't that good for Rei.

To be honest, she would rather be with her family right now. But she knew she couldn't. Today was Fuyumi's birthday, her children were probably having a fraternal time, and as an elderly, mentally ill mother, she couldn't deprive them of the day.

Her husband... would rather be alone than with him. Her mother-in-law was either together if her father-in-law was together or she was still alone. The existence of someone like her who had no place in their lives was unnecessary.

Other than them, the only person who knew that today was her birthday was Blake. During their conversation with her, he had mentioned her birthday, but it didn't make much sense to think about his come.

Rei had a good relationship with Blake. Except for an illicit affair with her mother-in-law, he had visited her constantly, sometimes being a small talk buddy or simply bringing her a flower and gone. Her relationship with Blake was quite positive.

In the relationship with her mother-in-law, it was revealed that Blake and Teka did not do this on purpose. Probably a third person was involved.

Anyway, in short, there was no way Blake could get here either. He's probably celebrating birthdays with her daughter.

"Hello, Rei-san."

"Oh, hello Blake-kun."

Rei reflexively replied to Blake, who had entered the room. As said above, there was no chance of Blake coming here. Well, she could at least ask her daughter tomorrow to tell her what happened on her birthday or get some pictures.

Rei's smiling expression froze. Her hand was on her cheek, she turned to her side with her eyes closed. She slightly opened her eyes. She had just greeted Blake, hadn't he?

"Blake-kun?"

"Yes?" Blake placed the box on the table, pulled the chair to himself, and sat down in the chair next to the hospital bed. He tilted his head to the side as he answered Rei.

''What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be on Fuyumi's birthday?" Rei placed the plate of cake on her knees on the table and turned to Blake. She glanced at the gift box.

The gift box was beautifully packaged, the ribbon tied to form a bow. The value of the gift inside was evident from the way it was packaged beautifully.

It would be nice if the gift was for her. At least someone would have given her a present on her birthday, but that was impossible. Probably this gift would go to Fuyumi.

"Fuyumi's birthday? I do and will be back there soon to continue celebrating. As for why I'm here, of course, I'm here to celebrate your birthday." Blake put his hands on his knees, bent his body forward, and explained with a faint smile.

Rei froze at his words. She hadn't thought that Blake would come to celebrate her birthday. She felt touched, at least one person remembered and cared about her birthday.

Blake looked at her glowing expression. Rei had always been quite mature, always welcoming them with a warm smile and approaching them like a mother. However, right now, her eyes were shining like a young girl's, and her cheeks were flushed with excitement.

Rei raised her hand and ran her fingers over her cheeks. She spoke in a shaky voice.

"I-Is that true?" She asked once more to be sure. Her eyes shone with hope, she had an excitement unmatched for her age.

Blake squinted his eyes and nodded with a small smile. To confirm his words, he took the gift box he had placed on the table and placed it on her lap.

"This is the gift I prepared for you. Since I don't know what you like, I bought something that I thought might suit you."

Rei nodded at Blake's words. Her hands gripping the box trembled slightly. It was the first gift she had received in a long time, the injured girl residing in her heart screaming with excitement.

She thought about the last time she received a gift. She didn't get it on Fuyumi's birthday because that birthday was for Fuyumi, she and her mother-in-law were included at the last moment to make Fuyumi happy.

"It was that day, wasn't it?" Rei remembered the day she received the gift. After the age of 18, she received only two gifts. One of them was a random outfit that Enji gave her during their marriage to complete the formalities, and the other was the necklace of the Todoroki house given to her by Teka.

Apart from these two gifts, she had not received any gifts for a long time, nearly 30 years.

She grasped the edges of the ribbon and gently untied it. With the sound of "Fvip!" the ribbon fell to both sides. She placed her hands on the lid of the box, gave strength to her hand, and lifted it slightly.

The box opened, revealing what was underneath.

It was a dress. The one-piece snow-white, the short-sleeved dress had no frills or other pieces. Its revealing cleavage was too short, Rei felt that the pure white dress didn't show much flesh.

The whole point of this type of dress was simplicity. Whether it was color or appearance, it aimed to reveal the beauty of the woman by following a simple path. If the woman was not beautiful, the dress would not have any beauty. But if the woman was beautiful, then ıt was becoming more ostentatious than the most beautiful dress.

For a woman who is normally confident in her looks, this dress was one of the best. Blake thought Rei would like it, especially with its smoothness and softness that was made from precious fabrics.

However, when Rei saw this dress, she was startled as if she had just encountered her worst nightmares. Her pupils shrank, and the sense of terror was evident on her face. Her eyebrows were wrinkled with fear.

She jerked her head back helplessly as if the scariest creature she had ever seen was trying to catch her face.

**

[Years ago]

''I want you!''

"Eh?" Rei was wearing a one-piece white outfit. There were floral patterns on the sleeves and hem of the dress. She had her purse on her arm.

Rei made a small sound of surprise. She looked into the face of Endeavor, who was staring at her with a stern expression. Unlike herself, who was neatly dressed, Endeavor had come to the meeting in heroic attire.

''I want you. As my wife." Endeavor's expression remained rigid throughout his words. He was strangely rigid and frowned as he spoke those words that would determine the future of the two.

"This is… very sudden. We don't even know each other yet." Rei tried to express herself instead of being embarrassed. They weren't that close with Enji, they had only met a few times and couldn't even call each other friends. However, Enji had thrown aside dating, engagement, and more after a few dates.

Coming to marriage from such a situation was very sudden. It was too fast, even for a girl like Rei who believes in first love and loves fast romances.

"I will come to see your family soon. Until then, prepare yourself." Endeavor didn't say anything else. He turned on his heels and intended to go. He had to complete his patrol, he also had subordinates to train. He had more important things to do and he had lost the need to be here.

Rei watched Endeavor's back as it drifted away. She started to panic, reaching him in a few steps and grabbing him by the arm. Her conversation with him was not over.

"Hey, isn't it too early? I mean, we don't even know each other very well. Shouldn't we get to know each other first?"

Slap!

Rei expected an answer, but Endeavor slapped the hand holding him. She fell. Her exposed knees peeled off and he began to bleed. But she was not in a position to care about that. The distant Endeavor's words flashed into her mind like lightning.

"I will come to your house in two days. I think you won't reject me, Endeavor."

And his words came true. Two days later he came home and asked her parents for permission to marry her. Endeavor was at its peak at that time. He had a good acceleration due to his sequentially passing through the hero ranking steps, and thanks to his acceleration, he was referred to as the "Potential Number 1 Hero" among the people, it was thought that he could even surpass All Might.

Her family was one of them. When they realized that Rei might marry their future No. 1 hero, they had agreed to marry her to Endeavor.

And with that, Rei's life as hell began. What followed was physical and mental abuse that everyone knew.

The important thing was that Rei burned everything that belonged to that day, the day that opened the gates of hell. She had thrown away the clothes she was wearing that day, the bag, and even the ring she had given him.

And now an outfit was appearing that looked like the outfit she was wearing that day.

**

"Rei-" Blake held out his hand to the frozen Rei. Rei had been acting weird ever since she saw the outfit. Had the gift he bought to cheer her up accidentally touched her wound?

Blake's eyes widened just as he was about to touch Rei. He kicked the ground with his feet and pushed himself back. He withdrew his hand in a millisecond.

Pat! Pat!

The harsh sounds of Blake's shoes, landing on the ground, echoed through the room. He was staring at Rei as he slid backward.

The place where it used to be is now like an ice tomb. A few meters around Rei was completely covered in ice. As at Enji's visit, icy cold continued to rise from her body.

Rei was tugging at her hair. She was whispering something silently as she looked at an unspecified place. Her eyes were wide open, her gaze filled with hatred, anger, and madness, searching for a certain person, but that person was at Blake's house right now.

Blake frowned slightly. Rei's reaction this time was more extreme than usual, if he left her like that, things could only get worse.

He shrugged carelessly at his hand, which was covered with icy frost that started at his fingernails and spread. Small lightning bolts shot out from the top of his hand, melting the ice. Blake took a step forward, ignoring everything around the next moment, appearing in front of Rei.

"Rei-san, wake up." Blake held out his index finger. His skin and clothes gleamed with elegant white color. When the extreme cold ice coming out of Rei's body touched the white color, it made a slight sizzle and melted the ice.

A small stream of lightning ran through the tip of Blake's index finger. The lightning bolt shot out from the tip of his finger and stretched out like a needle. But instead of looking like a needle, the moving lightning current looked like a snake.

Blake pointed his finger forward, the lightning current between Rei's eyebrows and suddenly reached her brain.

"Ah!" Rei raised her head with a small cry. Her eyes were wide, her mouth was open. Her little groan was getting longer and longer, but with each passing second, her gaze was getting clearer.

What Blake gave the woman was a small amount of speed power lightning. The speed-power had the power to heal a person not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. A tiny bit of speed power was enough to wake Rei from her condition. [EN: I don't know if ıt has spiritual healing power, but speed force protects one from mental attacks and heals the mind.]

Blake looked into Rei's increasingly clear eye. His lips curved upwards, and he smiled softly. The ice and cold had cooled the water particles in the air and created a light haze, the sun coming through the window and his smile amid the haze looked beautiful.

However, this smile was not beautiful in Rei's eyes at all. Enji's face from the day that started her inferno had appeared next to Blake's. The two faces were merging with each passing second, after a few seconds, they came together.

Seeing that face, seeing the face of the man who had ruined her life so close, triggered her anger. But for some reason, she couldn't get angry and was able to keep her logic.

She knew it wasn't Enji. The combination of the lower body and upper body was ridiculous. She knew this, but Blake's face did not improve. The face Enji wanted to tear hung above Blake's shoulders.

"B-Blake... please... please go." Rei gripped the bedspread. She was gritting her teeth as she spoke, her pupils covered with red veins. She was glaring at Blake, or rather Enji, who had replaced her head.

Blake opened his mouth to speak but fell silent the next second. He sighed helplessly, shook his head, and withdrew his hand.

"I'll settle a few things first, and then I'll go." As he said, he withdrew his hand and placed it on the frosted gift box.

Brmmmm!!

Blake's hand began to vibrate. The outline of his hand disappeared, and his hand became blurred. Rei's ears filled with the strange sound of the frantic vibration.

Blake put his hand on the ice.

Crack!

With a strong cracking sound, a large crack appeared in the ice. Blake pressed his hand, the area where his hand had passed was shattered by the force of the vibration. Blake reached into the gift box and pulled it out of the ice.

However, he did not give it directly to Rei. He used his lightning, lightning gently enveloping the box and the clothing inside. Tiny bits of steam was coming out of the one piece of white clothing and dispersed into the air.

After a few seconds, the outfit was as dry as the first time. Blake closed the box and placed the gift box on Rei's lap.

He didn't stop there, his body rippled. After a second he brought a plate with a piece of cake in his hand. He placed it on top of the gift box Rei had placed in front of him and headed for the exit.

"Happy birthday, Rei."

...

Blake appeared in front of his house. Before entering the house, he took off his shoes and grasped her with his fingers. He turned the doorknob, the door opened with a small noise, and he walked in.

"I'm here." After calling the girls, he closed the door and put his shoes in the shoe rack by the entrance.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud

Behind him, he heard harsh footsteps, only the sound of which showed how angry the person was. Blake had even heard a few "hmhp!" "puff" sounds.

He looked over his shoulder at the person.

Fuyumi, exhaling through her nose, was coming towards her angrily. She deliberately stomped on the ground, causing the sound of footsteps to reverberate. With her fists clenched at her sides, she could be really scary for some wimp main characters.

But for Blake, it was nothing more than a cute pout. He unconsciously smiled.

''Don't Laugh! I am mad at you. I-I want to scold you." Seeing Blake smiling cheekily, Fuyumi almost roared. She pointed at Blake with her finger and ran towards her.

Blake turned to her and spread his hands to his sides. Fuyumi stopped her steps, her pupils wandering hesitantly. She had originally come to scold him or throw her unhappiness at him, but her thoughts changed when Blake opened his arms.

Blake's wide-open arms look so good. It whispered to her softly, like the devil's temptation, giving off an air of seduction. Fuyumi's reproach and unhappiness melted like a piece of snow left in the sun.

She bit her lower lip, slowly reaching Blake. First, she pressed her body against him, and Blake's distinctive scent filled her nostrils. She deepened her stance in Blake's arms, rubbing her head against his chest to get more. She slid her arms under his armpits and hugged Blake.

"Fuyumi."

"Hmm?"

''I love you.''

''I love you too.''

"Again, happy birthday."

''Thank you.''

Two people, the tall and well-built young man and the woman with a peculiarly casual charm, we're hugging and talking outside the door. The atmosphere became more heartwarming, and Fuyumi's lips twitched. Her uncontrollable smile was getting brighter and brighter.

Her reproach, resentment, and sadness were blown away by her simple conversations and hugs. The bad things she experienced today did not affect her anymore.

Blake lifted her by her hips, fingers dug into her sassy hip. Some areas of her hips protruded, making them look prettier than they were.

Blake took the girl into the living room. However, when he stepped into the hall, he encountered a strange sight.

"Uuuu…" Eri was sitting on the sofa, her legs pulled up to her chest and both arms wrapped her arms around it. An imaginary smoke was coming out of her head. Her ears were crimson, showing through her white hair.

"Eri-chan, you don't have to be so embarrassed. This is something that can happen to anyone."

"Yes, Eri-chan. Don't be shy.''

"Uuu… Then why are you laughing?" Eri spoke in a hurt tone as she glanced at Nejire and Rumi, who was trying to calm her down. The two girls were indeed doing their best to hold back their laughter.

''We don't laugh. Are we laughing? Are you laughing, Rumi-nee-chan? Because I'm not laughing." Nejire shook her head sharply, looked at Rumi, and asked.

"No, I'm not laughing. Why would I laugh?" Rumi sternly denied it, but her lips curved into a big smile.

Eri turned her head to the side and looked at them as she listened to the two of them chatter. When she saw their big smile, she blushed harder and buried her head.

Blake looked at the group, then the girl in his arms, raised an eyebrow and asked quietly what had happened. Fuyumi chuckled slightly, as if remembering something, and explained the situation to Blake.

"During dinner, Eri went to the bathroom and... lost into the house."
