Agreement

They said they were going home, but in reality, the two of them wandered on the way back. They also made a stop at the supermarket and bought some food.

By the time they arrived home, it was almost four o'clock.

Yuriko seemed to be taking a nap. Renault had seen her nap until four o'clock on more than one occasion, and he didn't bother mentioning it anymore.

Could you really expect a shut-in to have a regular sleep schedule of going to bed and waking up early every day? As long as she didn't become a complete couch potato and still occasionally read and exercise, he was already satisfied.

After taking a short rest and changing clothes, he saw Yuriko coming downstairs.

"You're back early."

"You're up late."

Facing his teasing tone, she didn't get angry. She casually made herself a cup of instant coffee and returned to the living room, saying, "I feel a bit drowsy. It's probably a natural reaction of my body. After taking another nap in the afternoon, I feel much more relaxed."

"Hmm, it seems like the effects are kicking in faster than expected. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. No adverse reactions, right?" Renault cared about this blood relative of his, the only one he had in this world.

Shaking her head, the girl said, "Everything is fine. Although I don't know much about medicine, I can trust my own feelings when it comes to my own body."

"That's good to hear. If you have any issues, just tell me directly. Don't worry about bothering me." Getting up, Renault started preparing dinner.

Meanwhile, after he went to the kitchen, Mikoto, who had been silent the whole time, immediately changed her position and sat next to Yuriko. Seeing the puzzled look on Yuriko's face, Mikoto smiled and said, "Earlier when we were outside, Senpai and I encountered something and got into a fight with someone."

It was just a fight, so why was she so happy about it?

"I know. You used Driver to avoid revealing your identities."

"Hum, hum~" This was the first time Mikoto had done something similar to a Pro Hero. She had similar thoughts in the past but never acted on them because there were always police officers or Pro Heroes nearby, which made her restrain herself.

But today, she finally let loose without any inhibitions. Although Renault ultimately handled the situation, it couldn't dampen her mood.

For the next fifteen minutes or so, Yuriko couldn't leave as she was being held back by Mikoto, who was telling her about the battle with Gentle.

After listening to Mikoto's account, Yuriko couldn't help but laugh. "Invade U.A.? Who does he think he is? Maybe it would have been possible with the old U.A., but the current U.A. won't easily let anyone infiltrate for any purpose, let alone the fact that there are plenty of people in the U.A. who can easily defeat that Gentle. What is this person thinking, being so reckless?"

Mikoto nodded earnestly and said, "I think that person just wants to become famous and has gone nuts. Moreover, it's fortunate that we encountered him before that happen. I was also looking forward to exploring U.A.'s cultural festival! The previous sports festival was quite interesting, and it wouldn't be fun if it was disrupted by someone like him."

As Yuriko looked at Mikoto's eager expression regarding U.A.'s cultural festival, she also recalled the lively scenes she had seen on TV during the sports festival.

One had to admit that U.A. had some remarkable ideas to broadcast a school's sports festival nationwide. Although most of the students there weren't particularly powerful, the competitions were still quite interesting to watch.

"Nee~ Nee~, when the cultural festival starts, you should come and watch too! Senpai said that their class will also have a performance, so we can go and see!" Mikoto's words interrupted Yuriko's reminiscence. She glanced at the kitchen and listened to the faint sound of a knife, then fell silent for a few seconds before nodding, "Okay... I... can do that."

Going to have a look wouldn't be a problem, probably.

Mikoto was delighted to see her agreeing. Although Yuriko would always make sarcastic remarks toward her, their relationship was still good. Mikoto had been observing the changes in Yuriko during this time.

"Alright, then. I'll go to the kitchen to help and talk to Senpai," Mikoto said.

After saying that, she rushed to the kitchen.

Inside the kitchen, Mikoto skillfully put on her apron and approached Renault to help. She said, "Senpai, Yuriko agreed just now. She'll come with me to the cultural festival."

"Hmm, I heard it. That won't be a problem. I'll inform the teacher later." Renault replied.

"Are you sure there won't be any problems? After all, she..."

"What could go wrong? The festival is an internal event of the U.A., inviting a student's younger sister. No one dares to say anything," Renault said, putting down the kitchen knife. He looked at Mikoto and smiled, "Besides, she only appeared once during the U.A. incident, and the outside world doesn't know her identity. Staying indoors all this time is just a precaution to avoid her being targeted by the lurking League of Villains."

"Hehe, that's good. I was worried about causing trouble for you, Senpai," Mikoto happily said.

"If you were worried about causing me trouble, you wouldn't have asked me."

"Hum~hum, that's because I know you can definitely handle it, Senpai," Mikoto said with an air of confidence, tilting her little face upwards.

'This girl really trusts me huh...' Renault thought, feeling a warmth and guilt in his heart. He reached out and pulled her small waist into his embrace.

"Kyaa, Sen-Senpai?" With Mikoto in his arms, her heart skipped a beat, and she became somewhat flustered.

With his head lowered, smelling the faint fragrance on Mikoto, Renault smiled and said, "Why nervous? It's not like we haven't embraced like this before."

"But this is the kitchen, and what if someone comes in..."

"It's alright, she won't come in." Renault slowly cupped her face and leaned in closer.

The atmosphere gradually turned pink, and she couldn't help but get carried away.

"Ahem!"

However, just as they were about to touch, a cough came from the kitchen doorway, belonging to Yuriko.

"Kyaa!" Mikoto jumped out of his embrace like a startled rabbit, her face turning red. She couldn't bring herself to look at him.

Renault, with a hint of dissatisfaction, glanced at Yuriko by the door.

"I'm sorry for interrupting your moment, but..."

Renault gestured towards his phone in Yuriko's hand and said, "A call from All Might?"

Taking the phone and covering its microphone, he looked at Mikoto, who had already recovered, and then turned his gaze at Yuriko. He said, "Mikoto, let Yuriko help you cook for a while. I'll take the call."

Mikoto's eyes lit up upon hearing that. "Okay!"

As for Yuriko, she wore a rare expression of frustration. Before she could leave, she was already being pulled back by Mikoto.
