I can save her...

--- Chapter 5 ---

Watase Kyojuro looked around and saw a pink-haired little girl with many red roses floating around her body, which also grew out of thorny roots that destroyed the building.

"She couldn't control her quirk." Kyojuro frowned a little because those roots pierced through the building, so if this girl couldn't control them, this hospital would get destroyed.

"Kyojuro-sensei!" Yuuto shouted and pointed his finger at the specific building, which had a burning fire because of a gas explosion.

"Yuuta, evacuate my family," Kyojuro instructed while jumping toward the wall and swiftly landed on the ground.

Yuuta nodded his head and hurriedly moved toward the parking lot, where the rest of the watase family resided.

"Yuuta-san!" Shizuka said when looking at the familiar man, who immediately approached as soon as he heard her shout.

"Where is Kyojuro?" Fuyumi deactivated her quirk and looked at the pathway, which her husband had cleared.

"Sensei is saving a few people trapped in the building." Yuuta honestly answered, which caused Fuyumi to frown at him.

"He also instructed me to evacuate all of you to a safe place." So he continued, to which they responded, but out of nowhere, Aoba's instinct suddenly kicked in.

'Something bad is going to happen.' So Aoba thought while hearing a few cracking sounds in the wall.

"Let's go!" Yuuta swiftly led them to an alternative road to get out of the hospital.

They moved at a fast pace to get out of the hospital. After a few minutes of running, they finally left the building, which has already covered with thorny green roots.

'I need to regain my strength back.' Aoba looked at the thorny green roots, which is the result of someone's quirk.

Aoba shifted his gaze to the roof, where his grandpa grabbed a few people using his left hand and slashed the thorny green roots using his spear.

Crack! Boom!

One of the building sections got cracked and destroyed, which made the people around the area frown.

Crying sounds echoed in this place, and there were definitely injured or even dying people. Still, Aoba was surprisingly calm and looked around to search for the source of this problem.

'This situation is somewhat better than that war.' So Aoba thought while looking at the main building, where a large bud of rose stood.

He used his golden demon eyes and made his eyes glow with dim light, which enhanced his vision to see what actually happens inside that rosebud.

'A little girl?' Aoba looked at the pink-haired girl, who was hugging her knees while crying in tears.

"Yuuta-san, what actually happened?" Shizuka suddenly asked Yuuta, who has been on their side, to protect them.

"There is a special patient who loses control of her quirk," Yuuta answered while worriedly looking at the hospital because there are a lot of injured people in the building.

"If we didn't evacuate everyone in this hospital right now, there might be a severe amount of deaths today." He continued with a bitter expression on his face.

Yuuta couldn't do anything as his quirk wasn't suitable for this kind of situation.

"We only have to stop the source." Aoba suddenly stated, which caused four of them to stare at him with a surprised expression.

"What do you mean by that, Aoba-chan," Tomoe asked while frowning a little at him.

Aoba calmly pointed his index finger at the giant rosebud and said, "A pink-haired girl is crying there."

"Pink-haired girl... You could see her from this place?" Yuuta asked, to which Aoba responded with a nod as his golden demon eyes at the first level could observe to one hundred meters.

"I can save her..." Aoba naturally stated, and Shizuka immediately grasped his hands.

"NO! You can't go there." Shizuka shouted while giving him a worried expression.

"I don't want you to get hurt, and you're only a child! Just leave this to adults." She continued because seeing her son fainted is enough to give her an anxiety attack. Still, now he wants to go to that almost destroyed place.

Fuyumi and Tomoe also thought the same, and they would not allow Aoba to go to that place where the chaos happened.

"Aoba-chan..." Tomoe looked at the kid in front of her with a worried gaze.

"Your grandfather is already there, he should be able to save them," Fuyumi said to convince his grandson, but he surprisingly only smiled at them.

"Just wait until Hero arrives in this place," Yuuta firmly said, but Aoba shakes his head.

He released his hand from Shizuka's grasp and walked toward the hospital with a somewhat serene expression on his face.

"Mom, Tomoe-nee, Grandma, I want to ask something." Aoba suddenly said. "Why is life so important?"

Aoba's question caused his family to ponder a little, but they couldn't answer him, which made him smile in his heart for some reason.

"It's because you only live once in this world." He answered it for them, which is really ironic because he had live more than twice.

They suddenly became mute and quiet, but Tomoe abruptly released a bright red fire from her body. "I'll help you, Aoba-chan." She firmly said.

Shizuka gritted her teeth and looked at her son with a complicated expression. "F-Fine, I'll also help." She said.

Fuyumi massaged her wrinkled temple while releasing a sigh and said, "Yuuta, start gathering injured people. I'll heal them with my quirk."

Aoba inwardly smiled at them and nodded his head while feeling somehow relieved.

'I'm not a hero. I just want to save you who is going to suffer from pain.' Aoba remembered his past life teacher's words, a kind man who is also the former heavenly demon before his reign.

They looked at each other for a moment and nodded their heads to start the operation.

Aoba gathered ki into his abdomen and circulated it into his entire body, which greatly enhanced his ability. 'This should be enough.' He thought while gripping his hand.

He shifted his gaze to the hospital and slightly adjusted his breath with a special breathing technique, which would help him to focus.

"Let's go." Aoba calmly said while walking toward the hospital.
