(MC's POV)

Arriving at Shizuoka Prefecture at middle, I decided to stay for the night on a hotel. Feeling guilty leaving my father just like that, Roboco told me call him so that he'll calm down and don't get worried about my movements.

Calling All Might at home while lying down and relaxing on the bed,

"Hello, Dad!"

*Falcon!!!*

His shout hurt my ears.

"Calm down, I'm currently in a hotel in Shizuoka Prefecture near my birthplace."

*You just suddenly left like that!*

"Okay! I'm sorry, Dad but I'm just worried about Rumi."

I can hear All Might sighing on the other side.

*She just called me on my office this afternoon, Ichika. Unfortunately, she told me that her old model phone is broken and she can only sent you messages.*

"Huh? Broken? Why didn't she tell me that?"

*She reminded not to tell you because she doesn't want you to call her idiot again.*

Now, I realized that I worried for nothing.

"That idiot!"

*... What's wrong?*

*Father is afraid that Rumi is being unfaithful or she's seeing another man. Father reads too much Netorare manga in the internet and I saw it in his browsing history on his smartphone.*

"Oi! Roboco! You did it again!"

*Ichika, I think that you shouldn't read those kinds of things. Don't forget that you're still a child.*

"Roboco!"

*Ufufu...*

"Okay, Dad. Just tell me if you want me to buy something."

*I want a new latest High-Spec Video card for games.* Roboco is asking adorably.

"No!"

*Anything is fine. Just get back here quickly or the Hero Public Safety Commission will found out.*

"Don't worry, I already have some subordinates infiltrated that law enforcement agency. They should make the most of their time until I destroy them."

*Ichika, are you really going to do this? If they found out about your plan, you'll be treated as a criminal or villains!*

"I already shown you all the evidences of underlying corruptness in its acts to protect society's image of heroes in order to maintain the status quo. The Commission always treated their workers as disposable assets, primarily using people from the underside of society to do their dirty work. I'll use this evidence to expose the organization's wrong doings."

*You're trying to bring down the hero society!*

"You know, I can't do that now because you Dad and Rumi. This world still needs some hero to save it. All I'm doing is bringing down the organization then rebuilt it from inside. I just want to change it... It just like buying your competitors company and close it down. No casualties happened... But for that to make happen, I need more resources. With me hating Pro Heroes like this past several several years won't do anything for better. Things will just become worse. That's why I thought deeply with this sh*tty brain and I decided to bring change instead. I'll show them I can change this hero society for better future." Watch me, Dad!"

*Ichika...*

"It's already pass midnight. You have to rest for tomorrow."

*Okay.*

"Goodnight , Dad."

I turned off my phone and just drop it down on my bed.

Closing my eyes,

"For now, I need to get someone who's affiliated with the commission in the past to strengthen our evidences."

*Father! I found someone like that in the commission's database and her name is Tsutsumi Kaina, hero name... Lady Nagant. She's a former Pro Hero and an assassin who killed her superior and currently imprisoned in Tartaros.*

"Is there a chance for us to bail her out of that place? Well... probably not."

*The only way is to bust her out of prison.*

"I'll guess we'll make a plan for that but not for now."

I decided to take a nap.

*Goodnight, Father.*

"Goodnight too, daughter."

---

When morning arrives, I prepared myself then went out of hotel. Yawning while walking in the middle of the streets and bathing in the sunlight.

"Good morning."

*Good morning, Father. There's a Cafe near the hotel.*

"Let's buy some new clothes first before we meet Rumi."

Going inside the mall while taking off of sunglasses, some ladies around are looking at my direction and whispering,

"Isn't that guy a hunk?"

"M-My, how handsome! I want a cool boyfriend like him!"

"Me too, I haven't seen him around. He's must not from this city or else I already found him in my radar."

"He might be some kind of celebrity."

Most guys who's walking with their girlfriends looks really irritated when they noticed their lovers looking at me.

"Isn't that guy looks cool?"

"Shut up! Don't look at him! Damnit..."

When I walked in front of a shop selling gym equipments,

"Hm?"

I got curious and entered the shop.

Looking around inside, I was greeted.

"Yes! Welcome to our shop!"

I went to the barbell and dumbbell section.

A saleslady approached me and I noticed that she was trying to look at my face,

"Oh my, he really looks handsome as they said. Are you from around here?"

I just focus on looking at the heaviest weights.

"Tokyo."

"Oh, you travelled from a far place to here "

"Is this heaviest weights in the store?"

I held the barbell with a lot of plates in the middle with my left hand and lifted it up like nothing.

"Yeah, but I don't recommend with your--Wait! That's over 200 lbs on both side--Huh?"

Her jaw dropped from shock.

"Any heavier than this?"

Her cheek twitched and she decided to increase the weight to 1290 lbs to both side with heavier plate.

"Now, try this. Let see if you can carry this."

The ripped guys who helped her increase the weights was breathing heavily.

"Okay let's see..."

With only my left hand, I grabbed it in the middle and lifted it up.

All of them are completely shock.

"Wait! Do you have super strength quirk?"

"Nope, my quirk is spoon bending with one finger."

"Huh?"

"I'll buy it. Please send it to this address."

After purchasing the equipment, I went to the clothes store. Coming out of the mall, I'm wearing a different coat which black and my sunglasses became brown.

I dance like evil Spider man in front of the mall and people around laughed at me having fun.

After that, I went into a Cafe and have a breakfast.

While drinking my hot latte, I sliced a small portion of pancake and put it in my mouth.

"Have you found her, Roboco?"

"Still searching around, Father."

She's checking from security cameras around the city.

Suddenly, the bells rings and the someone entered the coffee shop. I froze in surprise when it was Rumi on her civilian clothes. She's wearing a white long sleeve shirt and long pants with cream color that reaches below her knee. She has a brown belt across her waist locked with gold spheroid buckle. She's also wearing a cream colored shoes with high heels.

(Img<<<)

"Rumi?"

"Huh?"

When she noticed me, I remembered that she has excellent hearing because of her rabbit ears and I immediately look away while drinking my latte.

(Has she found me out?)

She was staring at me for moment then she tilted her head in confusion.

Another person entered and called her.

"Mirko!"

"Oh, Ryukyu, what are we having today?"

"Choose whatever you want. It's my treat."

It was woman with chin-length blonde hair, which she wears swept back with a headband, a long fringe over the right side of her face, covering her eye. She has thin, yellow, inward-tilting eyes with slit pupils and notably sharp teeth.

Just like Rumi, she's also wearing a civilian consisting of red jacket with white shirt as inset and long blue jeans. She also wearing a brown boots.

(Img<<<)

Rumi took out a carrot from her pocket and bite on it.

"Mirko..."

Ryukyu was speechless while the manager of the shop was looking at her when he heard the crunching sound from her mouth.

As someone known Rumi for a long time, she has the habit bringing carrots whenever she go as a snack. I always scolds her for this and I took her carrot, peel it and cut it into small strips then feed it her like french fries.

"Well, nevermind..."

Rumi continued to enjoy her snacks.

Suddenly,

"Mirko, you're acting strange this past few months. Are you seeing someone?" Ryukyu asked her a strange question which made Rumi choke her food .

"Ugh."

Rumi hit her chest and swallowed the food on her mount.

"Hey! What's that for?!" she complained.

"I always see you get anxious when your phone rings and you don't even answer it."

Rumi's face became red.

"That's..."

"I noticed that the call was too frequent and you only responded to it with a message. Don't tell me, you're seeing someone else besides your boyfriend. I think that's horrible if you're cheating."

My heart sank hearing that but I believe Rumi won't do that.

"I'm not! Is that how you see it?"

Rumi stood up and her response made me felt relief which made me felt horrible.

"Am I wrong? But you always have this look of someone who doesn't want found out and hid your phone whenever I walk in front of you. It's kinda kind of suspicious when someone saw you like that."

Ryukyu was chill while drinking her coffee.

"It's not like that! Whenever I broke my phone, he always calls me an idiot and his voice keeps ringing in my ears even in my dreams and it gets annoying!"

"I see... Anyway, how many phones have you broke until now?"

"It's only 21 including his phone."

Ryukyu looks surprised when he heard the number.

It's true she already broke 21 phones and three of that was mine.

"What about your current phone?"

"I sent it in a repair shop yesterday but they said it was hopeless."

"That makes 22 phones."

"Noooo!"

"Idiot."

"Stop it! Please spare me!"

Rumi looks depressed and leaned her face on the table.

Looks like I have to make a phone which sturdy enough for her.

I decided to stand up and approached them.

"Yoh!"

The two of them glanced at me.

"Huh?"

"This guy... he's listening to us the whole time." Rumi frowned at me.

"Yeah, I noticed too. What's your purpose?" Ryukyu spoke to me with threatening tone.

Raising my hands to calm them down,

"Wait! Wait! Calm down, I don't have bad intention! I just want to--"

*BOOOOOOOM!!!*

Suddenly, we heard a loud explosion outside.

Rumi and Ryukyu immediately stood up.

"Let's go, Mirko!"

"Yeah!"

The two of them rushed outside.

"Yare yare, such misfortune."

When I was about to followed after them,

"Wait!"

The manager of the coffee shop grabbed my arm.

"You and those two haven't paid yet!"

I took out my wallet and gave him 10,000 yen bill.

"I'll pay for those two ladies too and keep the change."

I was about ran outside but the manager stop me again.

"Sorry but we don't accept tip here. Please understand."

"Ah... Come on! I'm in hurry!"

When they gave me the change, I immediately ran outside.

"Thank you for coming!"
