(MC's POV)

The next day,

"Uuuuuuuugh~"

I stretched my arms as I go outside of the hotel in the morning. I was in my adult form which is more comfortable for me to move around.

"Hm?"

All the staff of the hotel came out and line up on my path to the entrance gate then they all bowed together towards me. They seems to be panicking.

"Thank you for coming, Sir! We wish you a safe travel!"

I felt trouble when they did this for me.

"Hey, you guys! I came here incognito for personal reasons! You actually don't have do this."

The important looking man in a proper suit moved in front of me and bowed again. He seems to be the general manager of the hotel.

"We have to apologize for not recognizing a CEO and the owner of this hotel. If you told us early, we should prepared you a better and more luxurious room."

All of them looks very nervous and I can see that they are trembling.

"No, it's fine! I feel more at ease if you serve me normally."

"Sorry but we can't do that, Sir! We'll get in trouble with the higher ups and get reprimanded by them!"

...

"I told you, it's fine! I'm just nothing but an owner of this hotel. I might be a CEO but on a different company of mine. I'm not in charge of inspecting the hotel or something. Tell them that I'm already satisfied and instead, they should focus more on the expansion of the building. I already gave them the funds."

"Yes, Sir!"

He sighed in relief.

After a gentle smile, I gave them a intense look, making my grin menacing.

"Also... Just because I'm like this doesn't mean, I'm negligent as an owner of the hotel. If you guys screw up or done something horrible on your job, I won't hesitate to fire all of you, understand?"

The man sweated profusely.

"Yes!"

"Okay, okay! I'm going now! Good luck everyone with your job! Hahaha!" I laughed tapping the general manager in the back several times.

"Wait! Wait! How about using our private car to send you home, Sir?"

"I'll be fine! I will just wa--"

*Ring!* *Ring!*

Suddenly, my phone rings from my pocket then I immediately answered when I saw it was Rumi.

"Hello? Rumi?"

*Ichika!*

"Hm? Is something wrong?"

I just had a bad feeling about this.

*Uhm... There's something I have to tell you... And I want you to please hear me out... The truth is... It's not working...*

...

My heart sank hearing what she said.

"What do you mean?... Why did you tell me just now?! You should tell me that directly yesterday!" I became angry.

*No matter what I do, Ichika... I already did everything but it's not working!*

...

"Hm?"

I felt something strange from the tone of her voice and she seems nervous after telling me that.

"Why now?"

*Are you still here in the city?*

"Yeah."

*Come here quickly in Ryukyu's office! I accidentally broke her washing machine and I don't know how to fix it! She's currently in the supermarket, buying stocks. Hurry up before comes back!*

Sighing in relief.

"You know, Rumi... You're really bad for my heart."

*Huh? What's wrong?*

"Nevermind, Idiot!"

*Hey--*

I immediately end the call before she can retort.

I glanced to the general manager with a grin.

"Actually, I have a favor to ask you."

"Yes?"

---

Arriving in front of Ryukyu's hero office with the hotel's luxurious car.

"Thank you, I'll be fine here."

"Yes..."

I went of the car while carrying tools I bought from the hardware store.

When I entered the office, I saw several Pro Heroes in their hero costume and I found them working on some paper works.

A Pro Hero lady with colorful costume approached me.

"Welcome to Ryukyu Agency! Have you made some appointments with Pro Hero Ryukyu today?"

"Nope, I came here for Rumi. Do you know where she lives?"

"Rumi?"

"You don't know her real name? I'm talking about the No. 6 Pro hero, Mirko."

Her eyes widened in surprise and she finally remembered,

"Ah, Mirko! She currently lives upstairs together with Ryukyu. Do you have business with her?"

"Actually, I'm her boyfriend. She told me to come here."

She gave me a smile,

"Oh, I see... she has a boyfriend... Hehehe..."

Then her smile broke and she became dejected.

"A boyfriend, huh? Even a brash person like her has a handsome boyfriend like you... Hahaha... What am I doing with my life... Hahaha... Here I am, working nonstop since the villains attack... Hahaha..."

Her laugh was dry and the atmosphere became dimmer.

"Sorry, but I have to go."

I don't know how to deal with her so I moved away to her side and avoided her.

"Okay, it's time to work! If you don't finish early your job, you have to take overtime again."

Suddenly, male co-worker grabbed her from behind and pushed her back to her office table.

He immediately approached me and I noticed from him with how he treated the lady.

"Well... sorry about that. She just feels a little kind of..."

He was thinking of what to say and unable to make up one.

"You have it hard, do you? Why don't you just confess to her already?"

He was completely shock.

"Eh, you know? How did you find out?"

"It's completely written on you face with how you treated her."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah, so be confident and make a move already before it's too late. It's better than to be rejected than you regretted. Your inaction won't change anything and you won't able to move on."

"But..."

The man was hesitating.

"Then forget what I said just now because that's up to you and also... I missed the part where that's my problem. Good luck!"

I told him as I walked away.

When I found the stairs, I went to climbed up and found some rooms to the veranda.

"Rumi! I'm here!"

Looking around, one of door opened.

"Ichika! Over here!"

I immediately went inside the room.

"Why are you taking so long?!"

When I saw Rumi standing in the entrance, she was wearing a white sleeveless shirt and small black shorts with white stripe. She was scratching the back of her head.

(Img<<<)

I looked at her alluring figure from head to toe. From her voluptuous chest then to the thickness of her thighs.

All I can say that she looks really hot and beautiful.

"I have to buy some tools, you know? Do you think you can repair all things barehanded?"

"Okay, okay! Come on and hurry!"

Rumi grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the bathroom.

Seeing the washing machine, it looks good as new.

"Is this thing really broken or you just don't know how to use it?"

"Ryukyu taught me how to use it!"

I opened the washing machine and look for the damaged part.

"If we're talking about you, Rumi... the damage must around the power buttons because that was happened to most of the phones you broke."

"Hey! I already bought a new phone yesterday just so I can call you!"

"Okay... don't break it this time but I don't know how many times I told you that."

"Ugh!"

I found the detached wire then I soldered it back to the small circuit board.

(Okay, that should be fixed.)

When I assembled back the washing machine, I tried to run it and it's finally working.

"You're really good at this, Ichika." Rumi looks amaze.

"Yeah."

"Here it is."

She gave me the basket filled by her dirty clothes.

"Huh?"

I was confused.

"Can you please wash it for me? I don't want break the washing machine again."

"Are you serious? You're already an adult, Rumi. How did you survive all this time."

Rumi looked away from me.

"I had the laundry shop wash it for me. They are really convenient."

...

Looking at her with squinted eyes, I sighed.

"Fine... You really haven't change..."

I started to separate the white from decolorized clothes.

"Huh? What are you two doing here? Falcon?"

Ryukyu has finally arrived.

"Uhmmm..."

Rumi looks nervous.

"Rumi doesn't know how to wash her clothes and she called me here. Please pardon for my intrusion." I explained.

"Really?"

"The truth is... she called me here to fix your washing machine that broke then she asked me to wash her dirty laundry." I answered honestly.

"Ichika!" Rumi shook me while I'm working.

"Mirko, seriously?"

Ryukyu looks disappointed.

"She's been like this since highschool that I became more of her mom than boyfriend."

"Hey! Stop saying about the past! Ichika, you're so horrible!"

"These two..."

Ryukyu was speechless.

*Ring!* *Ring!*

My phone in my pocket rings then I saw it was Deku and I answered.

"Hello?"

*Ichika, something happened!*

"Huh? What's wrong?"

*The three classmates that I fought yesterday was sent to the hospital after they got home! This is bad!*

"What bad? That was a good news!"

*Eh?!*

"That's right! Congratulations, you're a full-fledge delinquent now just like me and Kacchan!"

*Deku!! I heard you sent three of your classmates to the hospital yesterday. You've been deceiving me all this time, huh?!*

I can hear Bakugou screaming on the other side of the phone and he's bullying Izuku again.

*I don't!! I just used what Ichika has been teaching me all this time!*

*Liar!! Let's fight!*

*I'm not! You can ask Ichika himself! I'm currently talking with him right now in the phone!*

*Oh, really?*

*Hello there, you bastard!*

As I grinned, hearing his voice.

"Kacchan<3 Do you know how much I missed you right now?"

*Die!!*

"Hahahahaha!" I laughed hard.
