Name..?

--- Chapter 6 ---

"Someone, Please help!"

"Help!"

"Help!"

Watase Kyojuro couldn't help but frown a little because he wouldn't be able to save everyone here at this rate.

"I need some help..." Kyojuro muttered while thinking about the heroes, who should be around this area, but he had never seen one after saving people in here for ten minutes.

"Should I break the limit?" He continued while looking at the ten black wave marks across his right hand, which is the limit of his quirk.

Kyojuro's Quirk, Demon Body, increased his physical strength akin to a demon or oni in the past, but there is a limit, which he couldn't overstep.

"My limit is thirty wave marks, but if I kept increasing my strength, then it would be half of that." Kyojuro frowned while shaking his head and decided to save as many people as he could.

"Father, we'll help you." Tomoe's voice suddenly echoed, to which Kyojuro responded by looking at them with a surprised expression.

"You can't -." Kyojuro was about to deny their help, but then his wife shook her head and gave him a few hand gestures.

'It's pointless.' Fuyumi pointed her finger at Aoba, who calmly observed the area with his golden eyes.

Aoba looked around for a moment and said, "There are four people in the east building, six in the west, and nine below the main building."

"Grandpa, you heard that, right?" He continued while shifting his gaze to Kyojuro, who stared at him with a complicated look.

'Aoba, you're too mature for a thing like this.' Kyojuro released a sigh inside and nodded his head, moving toward every place that his grandson pointed.

Yuuta had already gathered a few people around them, and Fuyumi started treating them with her quirk, which relieved the pain and slowly healed the injury.

"Lie down and don't move," Fuyumi instructed while looking at her patient.

Shizuka and Tomoe had already moved toward the burning building and used their quirk to extinguish the fire.

"Onee-chan, I will destroy the obstacle with my flame, and you have to extinguish the building, okay," Tomoe said while gathering a flame in her fist.

"Mm, I'll do my best." Shizuka nodded and took out water from the fire hydrant, which immediately circulated above her head.

"Watase's Fist Style, Broken Fist!" Tomoe breathed out air from her lung and punched the boulder with her fist.

BOOM!

The boulder got destroyed into pieces, which left Shizuka speechless for a second.

Shizuka swiftly launched the water and extinguished the building, revealing a charred-looking section, almost swallowed by flame.

They looked around for a moment and nodded their heads. "Let's go to the other part of the building," Shizuka said, to which her younger sister responded with a nod.

'The situation has become a lot better.' Aoba nodded his head and slowly shifted his gaze to the rosebud, which started to release faint yellow spores.

"What's that?" He asked, which caused Yuuta to frown deeply.

"Everyone doesn't touch or inhale that spores because it would make you sleepy!" Yuuta hurriedly shouted, to which everyone reacted with a shocked expression before nodding their heads.

Aoba, who heard his statement, couldn't help but ponder for a moment. "What a troublesome quirk." He muttered.

He believed that with his ki strengthening, those spores wouldn't work on him, but that also meant only he could go closer to the pink-haired girl.

"Quirk..." Aoba looked at the scene in front of him.

In Aoba's past life, something like this could only be achieved by a powerful expert, who has reached the realm of the great demon and above, but now in this world, a mere child could do it.

"Grandma, I will enter now." Aoba suddenly said while staring at Fuyumi, who hugged him and pecked him on the forehead.

"Please be safe, okay." Fuyumi slightly covered her grandson's body with faint white light and nodded her head in consent.

Aoba walked toward the hospital, and his tiny figure looked really small compared to the thorny green roots, but there is no fear in his golden eyes.

"Hmm, I wondered what my quirk was all this time, but now with my ki sense, it became clear somehow." Aoba touched the ground with his hands and felt thousands of dust moving according to his ki.

"Magnetic Force..." He continued while raising his hands, and a black cloud of dust flew around his body.

(An: Aoba's Quirk is similar to Magnet Release)

Watase Aoba raised his gaze to the main building and used his movement technique, which caused his silhouette to disappear from where he was standing.

"This sensation..." Aoba felt ki rush into his legs and slightly smiled.

Watase Kyojuro, who has a few people in his arms, looked at his grandson with a baffled expression. "Aoba? What's that movement?" He surprisingly said.

Kyojuro had never seen his grandson training in martial art. Even though he knows Aoba likes to somehow meditate behind the shrine, he thought it was normal because Shizuka taught him Watase's breathing technique.

"Maybe, I should have asked him later." Kyojuro shook his head and focused his attention on saving these people.

Cracks! Boom!

Many thorny green roots suddenly grew out of the ground, and Aoba casually waved his hand toward it.

A cloud of iron dust, which he gathered around his body, vibrated at high speed and cut the roots like a hot knife through butter.

"This quirk is really convenient..." He commented while stepping onto a thorny root and jumped out toward a nearby roof.

Aoba jumped from roof to roof while sometimes using the iron dust to make a platform, which made him quickly move toward the rosebud, which had already covered the entire main building with spores.

He adjusted his breathing for a moment and calmly walked into the spores while trying to sense the pink-haired girl's presence.

"Hic, Mama, Papa..." A crying sound suddenly echoed, and Aoba stopped his steps.

"Hey, are you okay there?" Aoba casually asked while looking at the thorny green barrier in front of him.

"W-Who..!?" The pink-haired girl responded with a frightened tone.

Aoba tilted his head when hearing her response but then cut the barrier with high-frequency iron sands, which caused the girl to look at him with a scared expression.

"D-Don't come closer!" The pink-haired girl shouted, and a few thorny green roots shot out toward him.

Aoba easily dodged them with his swift movement and cut every obstacle this girl did for him. "You should stop using your quirk." He commented while walking closer to her.

"N-No! I don't want to! Papa and Mama aren't here. I don't trust everyone here." The girl exclaimed, to which Aoba responded with a sigh.

"What is your name?" Aoba asked while standing a few meters away from her.

"I-I'm not going to answer that!" The girl launched a few roses at him, and each of them was very sharp, but Aoba didn't even bat an eye and just casually dodge them.

After a few talks, Aoba arrived in front of the girl and finally saw her appearance.

The girl has braided pink hair with a few strands of blue and a pair of magenta eyes, which made her really cute, but the tears on her eye ruined it.

Aoba kneeled a little bit and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Why are you crying?" He asked.

"Don't touch me!" The girl fiercely responded while slapping his hand away.

"Well, let's clear these spores first." Aoba waved his hand a little, and the iron dust gathered to the air into an iron fan, which he used to clear the air.

BOOM!

With one fan slap, the whole area became more apparent, and the girl finally could see his face.

Aoba used his astral soul, turning his hair white while two wolf ears grew out of his head. "Are you calm now?" He asked.

The girl is somehow captivated with his animal ears and intently gazed at them.

"C-Can I touch them?" She asked, to which Aoba responded with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Sure." He replied while letting the girl touch his wolf ears.

The girl slowly grasped his ears and suddenly smiled because they were so squishy and softs.

"What's your name?" Aoba calmly asked.

"R-Rose..." The girl sheepishly responded.

"I see, Rose. It's a beautiful name." Aoba nodded his head, which caused the girl to become slightly happy in her heart because only her parents compliment her like this.

"Rose, could you take these roots back?" He asked, and Rose meekly nodded her head.

Rose touched the ground, and the entire building is slowly shaking as the roots become smaller and smaller in a second.

"O-Ookami-san, may I know your name?" Rose suddenly asked.

"Aoba, Watase Aoba," Aoba answered with a smile on his face.
