Chapter 148: Last and Strongest Wave

"Fuuu... Ooooooo~~..." Wearing a cute pink bathrobe that fits her body, Eri sighed as she stepped out of the hot bath. Stars appeared in her innocent eyes as she saw her steamy breath.

''Fuu... Kya~~''

''Come here~~''

Continuing to stare at the steam coming out of her mouth in the bathroom doorway, Eri let out a small cry as the towel fell on her head. Two strong hands grabbed the towel and began to dry her hair.

"How's a hot bath after the rain and cold weather?"

Eri did not answer the question. She closed her eyes, dropped her body into the hands that gently caressed every part of her skull, and took a moment to savor the heart-melting kindness.

"Wuu~~ V-Very good…" She stood on tiptoe, eyes narrowed, wanting more, and pressed her head into both hands. Small murmurs came from her lips, which were in the shape of an "O".

After Blake greeted them, she told them that he would play with Nejire for a while longer, so they could go into the bathroom to get the cold air off. The girls looked at the situation of the duo and decided to go to the bathroom.

Nemuri, Ryukyu, and Rei, who were close to each other, had entered the bathroom first. After they came out, Momo and Fuyumi entered, and lastly, Rumi and Rei took a bath together.

They could all go to the bathroom at once, but unlike at home, there wasn't a bathroom big enough for them to do so.

Rumi started walking just as Eri's head was drying up. With penguin steps, their bodies were lying to the right and left, step by step they were coming out of the bathroom.

"That's good to hear. And it's about to get even better. Blake-nii-chan and Nejire-nee-chan are making desserts."

Eri's heart jumped. A dessert created by the joint efforts of Blake, whose food is more than perfect, and Nejire, a snack specialist.

Her steps unconsciously quickened.

"Haha, take it easy, Unicorn. The desserts won't run out." Rumi grabbed Eri by the armpits and lifted her. Even when she did that, Eri's feet were still moving back and forward.

Rumi lifted the girl to face level. Eri stopped the fluttering. The towel covered her face, hiding her expression. She turned her head over her shoulder and asked.

"Really?"

Rumi opened her mouth but closed it the next second. She started to think with a "hmm~".

Fuyumi, who likes to eat most things, especially sweets, as long as Blake does; Momo, who enjoys eating, as long as it's not meat and fatty foods, which Blake had almost wiped out with his meals; Nemuri, who has a soft spot for sweets.

These people posed a great threat when it came to sweet matters. When it came to Blake's meals and desserts, they were throwing away the sisterly bond.

And this trio was the most harmless of them all. Still no mention of Nejire.

Nejire was an Apex Predator for dessert and snacks. There was a snack and dessert cabinet specially made by Blake in the house.

And not to mention Rei and Ryukyu, who still don't know how to taste.

"You know what, I don't see a problem with speeding up a bit." Rumi quickened her pace, as Eri had initially done. She was sure Blake would make enough sweets for them all, though a little haste wouldn't hurt.

"Hm-hm!" Her face still covered in a towel, Eri decisively shook her head twice.

Rumi was walking along the corridor at a slower pace than her. However, it took only a few seconds for her to get out of the corridor.

The exit from the corridor led to the great hall. Although there were no gold items in the hall, it was adorned with various colors. In front of the wall-length television were pieced-up seats that took the shape of a U.

The walls were gray-white, creating a relaxing, spacious yet rich atmosphere under the golden light of the unobtrusive crystal candelabra.

U-shaped piece seats were filled by girls. Mother-daughter Rei and Fuyumi were sitting in the biggest seat. The two women sat with their heads down, bowls of dessert in their hands.

The plate Rei was holding contained a fluffy soufflé. The top of the red and black souffle had an appetizing fluffiness. There were no cracks in the soufflé, yet the delicious smell of blackberry inside showed the person that as long as he pierced it with a spoon, she would be in for a pleasant surprise.

A warm dessert like a soufflé was a good match for a woman like Rei who was very close to the ice.

The cup Fuyumi was holding was full of tea. Tea was steaming, as clear as water, a few tea leaves floating in it. At the bottom of the stream were sugars that sparkled like tiny crystals. The smooth candies helped infuse a mouthwatering flavor into the tea.

The two women did not say a word or touch their desserts. They just stood there with their heads bent forward. Unlike their age, they looked like children who made mistakes and awaited punishment.

Like them, other girls didn't speak at all. All that was heard was the incessant sound of the fork and spoon rubbing against the plates. The girls tried to restrain themselves and make as little noise as possible, but the taste of the desserts prevented them from doing so.

Even Ryukyu, the most modest and tidy personality, was constantly pushing sweets into her mouth with the help of a fork with an apologetic expression, swallowing each bite in a few chews. Well, given Blake's ingenious hands, no one could blame her.

Blake, in the middle of the girls, spread his legs wide. Nejire was sitting in the gap between her legs, eating the fish-shaped desserts Blake had prepared. She was clutching the dessert with both hands, her cheeks swollen, and she gnawed it incessantly. Her face was enchanted, and she was enjoying the dessert and what Blake was doing right now.

With a comb in hand, Blake was combing her hair with a warm smile and attentive gaze. He completely ignored others, or rather the two women with their heads bowed. He held Nejire's hair as if it were a precious piece with one hand, and combed it slowly and carefully with the other.

Hshh! Hshhh!

Slowly but surely, he straightened Nejire's hair one by one. Nejire's wet, tangled hair was sculpted in his hands with the utmost care, like a sculptor carving a piece of marble.

Pat!

Amid the silence, a thin falling sound was heard, which disrupted the whole situation. The girls stopped what they were doing and looked at Blake.

Blake had Eri in his head. His face was covered by gray-white hair succumbing to gravity. Eri's entire body was resting on HİS head, and Eri found herself on different ground, clinging to Blake's head with all her limbs.

Blake lifted his head. Eri bowed at the same time. The towel on her head fell off. Eri's close face and bright red eyes that had managed to remain pure despite being tainted by the evil of the world filled her vision. She was looking at him with mild surprise, but after realizing who it was, she closed her eyes and spoke with a wide smile.

"Blake-nii-chan."

"Hi, come sit down." Blake grabbed her by the robe and lifted her. As Eri tasted patronizing everyone for the first time, she saw Nejire with her head thrown back, watching the two of them with a warm smile.

Blake extended his arm forward. He sat Eri on Nejire's lap. As Eri settled into the girl's legs, she was taken into the bear hug by Nejire's four limbs.

Eri was startled by the sudden rising heat wave. This heat was not only physical, but it also warmed her heart to its melting point. She used to avoid it, but now she was savoring the warmth with a cute smile.

Nejire watched her with a warm smile. While she continued to stare at Eri, she reached for the dessert plate, took a piece of fish-shaped dessert, and placed it in Eri's cute little hands.

Eri was startled by the warmth in her hands. She opened her eyes and looked at the thing in her hands.

In her hand was a very cute fish-shaped dessert. The chocolate filling was visible in the depths of its empty pupils. It looked very cute with its small but neatly lined scales and windpipe.

Eri's eyes widened slightly. Her heart was full of childlike feelings beat with excitement, and the cuteness of the fish-shaped sweet fascinated her.

She turned her head left and right. Her gaze said, "Is it okay if I eat it?". Watching Eri with a warm smile, Nejire nodded, Eri hesitantly brought the dessert to her mouth after overtaking her head. She opened her little mouth.

Hapu*

"Hmmgggggg..." The delicious word that flooded her mouth caused her to let out a pleasant moan. She bent her body forward and turned her body 180 sides. Her legs kicked in the air as if to express her pleasure.

Taste buds were going crazy because of the brown filling. She had thought it was chocolate sauce but now realized that the fish-shaped dessert was filled with a delicious filling that she couldn't put into words.

She took the first bite, then the second, then the third, but not once did she pull her mouth back or stop to catch her breath. Her cheeks filled and swelled with each passing second. She looked like a squirrel gnawing a nut.

Not only that, the outside was crispy while the inside was fluffy. There were several types of sweets with delicious fillings, but she couldn't put them into words due to her little experience in the sweet land. At the bottom was a pile of stuffing that exploded when bitten.

A healthy blush appeared on Eri's cheeks as she gnawed at the fish-shaped dessert. Stars were in her eyes, several white orbs constantly swirling in her pupils and rippling her starry eyes.

"Haha…" Laughter and chuckles were heard in the quiet room. Eri's current look and gestures caused giggles from Nejire in Blake's lap, Momo and Nemuri on either side of him, Rumi resting her arms on either side of his neck on his chest, newly joined Ryukyu and even the two women who are silently awaiting their punishment on the sidelines.

In the center of their gaze, Eri continued to eat without realizing it. In a few bites, the dessert in her hand disappeared. She looked at her hands in amazement, her eyes filled with a sense of loss, questioning how it had ended so quickly.

"Hehe…" Nejire, observing her intently, rested her chin on her arm and her arm on Eri's bent leg to wrap around her waist. Her crescent-shaped eyes sparkled with motherly emotion. While she continued to watch Eri, she took another dessert from the plate and handed it to her.

Eri continued to nibble on the dessert that was in her hands. Nejire watched her with a satisfied smile as if she was the one eating the dessert. Every time she finished one dessert, Nejire instantly give her a second.

During their heartwarming moment, Rei and Fuyumi started to move. Fuyumi took one hand from her dessert bowl and held it out. The next second, however, she closed her palm and withdrew her hand.

"Blake." Her eyes sparkled like precious jewels. There was an open pleading on her face. Her voice was like the timbre of a slowly depressing violin. It touched the heart, making one tremble with every word.

Blake's movements stopped, stopping in the middle of combing Nejire's hair. The girls looked at him from the corners of their eyes. They were wondering what Blake would do. Nejire stopped looking at Rei and tilted his head back to look at Blake.

They thought Blake would forgive them. They didn't think Blake was weak-willed or quick-witted, but his love for them often prevailed over other things, and they thought he would, this time, forgive the two women.

Hshhhh!!

"What?" However, contrary to their thoughts, Blake continued to comb Nejire's hair as he answered them. A piece of hair got caught in the comb. He frowned, took the piece of hair so it wouldn't hurt the girl, and set it aside. The piece of hair mingled with the thousands.

His words hit the girls like a slap in the face. Be it his words, his tone of voice, or his demeanor, none of them was the way he treated the others. It was very cold, very distant, they talked as if they were strangers.

The two women thought for a moment that they were no different from passers-by because of his tone. Blake often used this tone against women other than them.

They didn't want to be passers-by for Blake. They wanted to be women who could find a place in his heart and win his love. This was the case even for Rei. It was true that she wanted a place in Blake's heart, even if she didn't say it that bluntly.

They were incapable of uttering words to express their feelings. The lump in their throats prevented them from speaking, the pain in their hearts interfering with their thoughts. Fuyumi lowered her head, her lips twitching. She was trying to hold back her crying. Rei wasn't in such a bad mood as she had been in contact with Blake recently. However, there was a pain in her heart that she had never felt before as if a knife had pierced her heart and was slowly being turned by the person holding the knife.

Blake didn't look at the girls, continuing to comb Nejire's hair with a pleasant smile.

"..." Rumi, chin resting on his shoulder, watching him from the side, stared silently at Blake for a while. Then she looked at the girls for a moment. She turned her head and touched Blake's cheek with her nose.

Blake's smile widened. He raised his free hand and stroked her from her cheek to her chin. Rumi's fluffy tail twitched. She closed her eyes with a pleasant expression and stood there as she pressed her nose to his cheek.

"Aren't you going to forgive them? This is not for you." Her silence lasted for several long minutes. She spoke without opening her eyes.

Blake didn't answer him directly. He turned his eyes to the side and looked at the two women. Rei and Fuyumi were standing with their heads bent forward, unlike the previous time, they had an atmosphere that made people feel pity for them.

Blake's gaze softened. The compassion he hadn't shown from the beginning was revealed. Rumi unconsciously smiled, that was their Blake. The cold boulder just now was something only people outside the house could see.

"First, they have to learn..." Blake stopped midway through his words. His gaze went over all the girls in the room and finally stopped at Rumi. His lips curved upward. He smiled seductively. He put his finger on her chin and lifted it.

"All of you too."

Rumi raised an eyebrow. The next moment he understood what she had said. She nodded meekly and buried her head in Blake's neck. She inhaled his scent until she was satisfied. Her ears were already on Blake's face, stroking the face of the man they loved.

The meaning behind Blake's words was clear. Not just the two women, they had to learn a lesson by seeing what would happen if they pissed off Blake. While he wasn't trying to intimidate them, openly showing his anger was a warning to the girls.

If you piss Blake off, be prepared to run into someone completely different from the Blake you're used to and love.

**

After a few hours, the girls couldn't take it anymore and went to their rooms to sleep.

The night had been very busy. They fought non-stop, never stopping to use their Quirks for a second, running here and there to help people.

Contrary to what the people of the MHA world think, they were also humans and could get tired, exhausted, or faint from exhaustion.

They were not robots created to help humanity, but people willing to suffer all this for the sake of humanity, and they needed to be rested.

Moreover, most of the people in this room had revealed more than 100%. The whole time they were running from place to place in agonizing fatigue. However, a substantial part of this fatigue was dispelled by hot drinks and desserts.

They still wanted to sleep. After a few hours, the sweet rays of the sun rose from the east. The girls yawned and stood up.

"Good night, Blake~~"

The girls, including Fuyumide, spoke in unison. They had done this many times, it had become a habit now.

"G-Good Night, Blake"

Rei and Ryukyu, who were new to this, or rather did it for the first time, stammered. Yet they did their best to spit out the words. By their actions today, they had made it clear that they wanted to be with him. They had to start somewhere.

The word "good night" was a good start.

"Sleep well, girls."

Blake waved to the girls. He continued to play with Eri's hair, who was sleeping on his knee. He ran his fingers through her ash-gray hair. Eri had an innocent expression on her face. The thin breaths she exhaled through her mouth were all that could be heard in the room.

Eri had begun rubbing her eyes after the full tow and had fallen asleep a few minutes later. Blake had advised her to go and sleep with the girls. He didn't need to sleep anymore, sleep was a way to relieve stress and relax for him. He wouldn't even blink until Teka woke up.

However, Eri had turned Blake down, saying she wanted to sleep with him. Before Blake had a chance to say anything, she laid her head on her leg and fell asleep.

With no other choice, Blake had let her do what she wanted.

"Then we're leaving." Afterwords, Nejire and Momo took Ryukyu's arms and headed for the bedroom.

Since she was new to them, Blake had allowed the girls to sleep together at her request, so as not to become estranged. Nejire, Momo, and Ryukyu would sleep in one room, while Rei, Fuyumi, Nejire, and Rumi would sleep in one room.

This was the best result for everyone. Blake understood the mindset of the two women. Although they liked him, they were less experienced in relationships than the other girls. They were like unstained paper, even Rei was enjoying a relationship for the first time despite what she had been through, and it was natural for her to be stunned.

In such a relationship, it could backfire if he made big strides. They could be frightened or run away from his arms. He had to advance their relationship at their pace, with baby steps.

After the girls said goodbye to him for the last time, they dispersed into the rooms. Blake continued rubbing Eri's hair. Eri purred like a little cat now and then, a big smile blooming on her innocent expression. She grabbed Blake's hand stroking his hair.

Blake smiled slightly. He pushed her hand away, grabbed her hand, and placed it back in its place. He continued to rub her hair.

The first rays of the sun entered through the windows. The morning winds, which carried a small amount of warmth, carried a heartwarming air into the room. In the center of the room, Blake watched the girl with a faint smile. As soon as the girls entered their rooms, they threw themselves on their beds and fell asleep.

Contrary to the harmonious atmosphere inside the hospital, great events continued to take place outside.

The heroes were able to stabilize Japan after a long struggle. They even rooted out several bad guy gangs and formations that had gotten them in trouble for many years. As long as they could heal the wounds of tonight, Japan would be more stable.

As Japan became more and more stable, everyone's eyes turned to one place.

Fujiya hospital.

Heroes, policemen, government officials, and even the locals had headed for Fujiya hospital. As frightened as they were, they couldn't just let Blake, the biggest tumor in front of their eyes, just wander around. Local people thought of helping the heroes if necessary.

Class 1-A, U.A teachers, a few great guys from OHRMG, and even retired All Might, headed to the hospital where Blake was.

The storm wasn't over, the raging waves continued to pour into Blake and Blake's house. But the waves were showing signs of calming down. It was also getting brutal. The wave to come soon would be the last, but also the strongest.

And in the boat in the center of the raging waves, Blake was rubbing the sleeping Eri's head with a pleasant smile.
