I woke up from my sleep feeling refreshed as all of the exhaustion I felt before is now gone but soon I felt something weighing on my chest.
Nudging my head downwards, I could see the little Momo sleeping peacefully on my chest while her hand is wrapped around my waist.
'Well, I'll just let her sleep then.' I thought to myself, not wanting to disturb the little angel in front of me, I then used the time to try circulate the energy inside me and start my cultivation anew.
This time, I don't want to be that crazy cultivation maniac, only focusing on cultivating while ignoring everything else around me, though the end result is good as I reached the heavens at the age of 20 but the process is not.
I don't want to experience that kind of thing again, right now, I have a loving family and I want to cherish every moment I have with them.
'The problem is what cultivation techniques should i use?' I began ransacking through my memories to find the proper cultivation method I got from other cultivators, It needs to be the carefree type, not that time consuming to do and if possible, I can do it passively.
After searching every inch of my memories, I didn't find anything that fits my absurd criteria.
'Damn it, Nothing comes close to the thing i want, I'm pretty sure that's 80% of the methods in milky way galaxy...No, there's no way i forgot any of them as I have photographic memory..'
Suddenly, as If realization hit me, I came up with a good idea
'Since there is nothing that come close to my criteria, then why don't I just make it?!'
Creating a new proper method of cultivation is really, really hard as most of them came from the ancient times where cultivation is at it's most prosper age, but even then creating a good cultivation method is still difficult.
'Hmm....what to do first, the first condition is that it will make my body stronger slowly but passively as it will save me a lot of time, then it needs to be able to coexist with the fire and ice quirk.
'I'll just plagiarize the fire and ice part from some other cultivation methods and then adjust them if necessary , The passive part is a bit complicated'
'Usually, cultivation will only start after the user circulates the heavenly energy around him into his body, then purify his or her body with it slowly, but this time I need to remove the circulation part.
'What to do, What to do...' I thought to myself as I've never even think of making a new cultivation method, but now I'm making one.
'Ah!'
'A black hole! I just need to make a small blackhole specially for heavenly energy inside my body and changed it's output into my dantian, Though I then need to adjust a few things to my body to resist the pulling force of it.'
I then started circulating the last bit of my remaining Black : Void power I had inside my body that I kept for future uses and used it to create a very, very, very tiny black hole right in front of my dantian.
I then enhanced my body to resist the pulling force of it, I almost failed but succeeded nonetheless.
'Good thing Black : Void's specialty is making black holes otherwise I will have find another way and it will surely take a long time, now for the fire and ice part.'
'Emm...Inferno Purgatory is a pretty good fire technique, for the Ice i'll just use Eternal Frozen Scripture to enhance it, since both of them is on the same level, I can cancel each other power's out if one of them goes out of control'
I then realized that this thing that I'm doing is not so much like a cultivation method, Its just me doing 3 different things at the same time...Well, at least it worked out, probably.
I started cultivating both of said methods at the same time to save time and prevent on of them overpowering the other, Both of them isn't really that high leveled techniques compared to the one I had cultivated before so this time, It should be a breeze learning it.
1 hour later, I had completed the 1st stage on both of them easily, my talent on cultivating is also transported into this body so it isn't really weird.
I wanted to continue but was stopped by the movements I felt on my chest, I looked down and saw a shy Momo hiding her face in embarrassment while fidgeting with her small hands.
"Slept well?" I asked to her while my right hand started patting her head
"Un....because you're beside me." She answered happily
I blushed a little and brushed it off instantly, I never expected this kind of answer from the shy girl but is happy nevertheless, I never thought that I can bring happiness to someone just by being beside them...
"So, What do you want to do next?"
"Stories?" She answered
"Ehmmm, Why don't we do it another time, If I tell you all the stories today, what should I entertain you with tomorrow." I convinced her when in actuality, I just don't have anymore interesting stories to tell, I need to restock.
"Then why don't I show you quirk!" Momo exclaim excitedly as she got up from the bed and start activating her quirk.
In her right palm then appeared a blue ball made of rubber, she looked at me expectantly, trying to see my reaction, I laughed and then praised her of her useful quirk and told her that she can be a great hero with it.
She seemed very pleased by my answer and started hugging my body to which I respond by a hug of my own.
Suddenly, Mom came inside the room and seeing the scene, she froze a little bit before saying what she wanted to say.
"Momo, It's now 5 PM, your parent will be picking you up in 10 minutes." She said with a little bit of apologetic tone and a wry smile
Momo only responded with an 'Un', Rei then left the room, leaving the sad Momo and me behind.
"Don't be sad, you can come visit me anytime you want!" I exclaim while staring deep into her eyes.
"Bu..but I don't know if my parents will let me goto you."
"Then I'll just go to you then." I said, smiling, She then went from sad to happy in a matter of seconds and hugged me once more
10 Minutes later, Both of Momo's parents picked her up and brought her home after thanking Mom for taking care of Momo, she said it is no problem and they should visit more often coupled with my encouragement, I managed to get another play date with Momo next week.
After bidding my goodbye to Momo buy giving her an ice sculpture of herself, which surprises all of them, Me and Mom went inside to sit on the sofa near Fuyumi-nee.
"So did you treat her well?" Mom asked me after grabbing a hot chocolate and gave it to me.
I took a sip at the delicious chocolate and answered. "Of course, She's very fun to play with!"
Fuyumi-Nee suddenly took out her phone and showed me a picture with a grin which made me blush as hard as a human possibly can.
"W...why did you take that!" I bellowed in fake anger when inside I'm kind of happy as I have a photo to commemorate my first meeting with Momo
The photo is about me, sleeping while hugging Momo as if she was a pillow with a big fat smile, both of them then showed me a couple...hundreds more of these photos and enjoyed my flustered expression.
"So, you like her?" Fuyumi-nee ask after showing me the last photo in her new album called 'Sleeping Shoto'.
"N..no, I only like her as a friend." I answered
"Sure, as a friend, well you're still small so It doesn't really matter that much but treat her well okay." Mom then replied, still with a grin on her beautiful face, she then continued
"When did you learn how to do that, making the sculpture?"
Fuyumi-nee seemed intrigued and asks Mom what's this about, after she heard of Momo's ice sculpture, she begged me to make one of her.
I of course, being the filial son and brother I am, made 1 50 cm big sculpture of 3 person, Me, Mom and Fuyumi-nee sitting together in the sofa while laughing happily together.
Both of them shriek and started hugging me saying thanks once, twice and many more times, they decided to keep it in the freezer so it doesn't melt as this is the first gift I've had given to both of them.
Back t their normal state of emotion, Mom the same question once more.
"So, when did you learn that?"
"A few months ago, while I was trying to play with my quirk." I answered honestly
"I've never thought you have this kind of talent in using your quirk, I can't make make this kind of sculptures even if I have time." Rei said happily, then continued for a bit "Wha..what about your fire quirk."
I saw the fear she still had in her eyes, I know that me being here will only help the process on healing the scar she received from Endeavor but it still will take time.
"Yeah, i have control over it too but if you want I won't use it, I know how much you have suffe...."
Mom suddenly hugged me and said "Don't worry about me, just use it and become a great hero...li..like your father."
I can't bear seeing her sad and exclaim.
"Of course! I'll be the strongest hero so that I can protect both of you from anything! Including father!"
Mom then looked into my eyes and saw the determination I had, she cried and then whispered to me.
"Of course you will...but please, be a great father too."
I smiled and whispered back
"Anything for you Mom." and kissed her forehead.
