Chapter 29: Camp!

Now that the day of the Summer camp training was upon them everyone was outside of the UA building and waiting for their bus to arrive. Izumi was excited for them to arrive at the training camp but then Uraraka appeared right in front of her.

"hey Deku-Chan, are you excited for the Camp!"

"uh yeah, I uh..." Izumi started to turn red with how Uraraka's face was now quite close to Izumi's face.

"hm? Deku are you ok?"

"I uh I just... yes I am excited about the Camp!" Izumi then backed away from Uraraka leaving Uraraka confused but then she realized how close her face was to Izumi's earlier and started turning read herself. Izumi's shouting actually caught the attention of others one of which was Bakugo, when he saw how red they both were he actually smiled, walked up to Uraraka and put his arm around her.

"hey Round Face, don't you have something to say to Izumi, something personal I mean." Uraraka then got even redder and started mentally screaming as she looked back and forth to Izumi and Bakugo.

"hm? oh yeah! Bakugo said you mentioned something really interesting during the final exam, it was a confession right! who did you confess to, I'm curious." every one of Class 1-A was able to hear the conversation now and all looked at Izumi in concern.

"... hm? w- what's wrong? why is everybody looking at me like that?" everyone was in the monitor room when Bakugo reviled that Uraraka did have somewhat of a crush on Izumi, meaning everyone knew except Izumi. Izumi was still greatly confused and then looked at Uraraka who was red and panicking while Bakugo still had his arm around her and was smiling mockingly. then after some time, Izumi came to a horrific conclusion.

"Oh. my. god. it- it can't be! Uraraka your confession!"

"eh? eh?! I- Izumi wait! whatever your t- thinking its-"

"no come on Round Face, let her say it!"

"d- did you... did you actually confess to Bakugo!" everyone was quiet for about a full minute before everyone just went "... Eh?"

"d- did you confess to Bakugo?!"

"w- what?! Izumi gross! she doesn't even like me! and I fucking hate her guts!"

"oh... but then who-"

"let's not worry about that right now!" Bakugo then backed away from Uraraka who was now crying out of overwhelming embarrassment, Yaoyorozu and Hakgakure then went over to comfort her. Izumi wanted to help her friend but figured that since she unintentionally contributed to Uraraka's current state she thought it would be best not to make things worse. after some time everyone resumed their normal conversations but Sero, on the other hand, started laughing.

"hahaha! I can't believe Izumi thought Uraraka had feelings for Bakugo, you'd have to be pretty dumb and desperate to like him! am I right Kirishima?!"

"... uh yeah... sure."

"OH! WELL IF IT ISN'T THE SUPERIOR CLASS 1-A!" all of Class 1-A turned to see that the annoying student from class 1-B was shouting at them yet again. everyone's faces went sour for they already knew what he was going to say, Izumi, on the other hand, ignored him by getting out her research vol. 14 and reading over the notes.

"I HEARD YOU CLASS HAS TO TAKE SOME EXTRACURRICULAR COURSES FOR THE CAMP! DOES THAT MEAN SOME OF YOU FAILED THE EXAM?! BUT ISNT THAT IMPOSSIBLE SINCE YOUR SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE REST OF US?! HOW CAN YOU, WHO ARE SO SUPERIOR, MANAGE TO FAIL A SIMPLE EXAM?! YOU MUST BE WALLOWING IN SO MUCH SELF PITY FOR NO LONGER BEING ABLE TO SHOW OFF HOW-" luckily just like all the other times Monoma started ranting Kendo showed up and chopped him on the back of the head to get him to shut up.

"Sorry about that everyone."

"it's alright! you should really keep a closer eye on him thought! but either way, thanks!" Kendo then smiled and waved at class 1-A as the rest of Class 1-B arrived.

"oh hey, it's class 1-A, nice to see you when we're not rivals!"

"oh wow! all of class 1-B! I have so many questions to ask you!" Izumi couldn't help but run over to class 1-B and start bombarding them with questions about their quirks. the class 1-B students were now wearing broken smiles with their eyes full of concern wondering how Izumi could talk so efficiently without taking a single breath.

"oh aren't you the one known as the second cutest girl of class 1-A?" Izumi recognized the voice of Shiozaki and she slowly turned around to face her with her book covering her mouth, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, and blushing like a fangirl.

"uh is it ok if I ask you the full extent of your quirk? like... how much of your vine-like hair can you make, can you control the density and hardness, it's obvious you can control the shape at will but can you do that even when it detaches from you, I already know you can deflect electricity but can you also do that with fire or explosions, like think of Bakugo's explosion, do you think you can defend from that as well-" Shiozaki was now full of concern as well wondering how Izumi was talking so much without breathing for even a second then luckily Ashido and Hagakure came to the rescue by locking onto her arms.

"ok Izumi, its time to calm down and leave class 1-B alone. sorry, everyone! I guess we have our own screaming lunatic." Izumi then pouted in disappointment at Ashido while she just smiled jokingly.

"it's ok, but I think we should be apologizing since it seems we got the better end of the stick, I mean Monoma seems to only want to talk about how you guys are our enemies while it seems that Izumi wants to praise us on our quirks which is kinda nice actually."

"don't be tricked you fools! can't you see that the only reason she's asking about your quirks is so that she can know our weaknesses!" Kendo then chopped Monoma's head again to knock him out for good this time.

"ok everyone that's enough since our bus is here let's get on." all of class 1-B then got onto their designated bus while Mineta started to stare at the girls.

"wow, all the girls from Class 1-A and Class 1-B? this summer camp is going to be like paradise! serving a 24/7 all you can eat bombshell buffet!"

"... dude, what does that even mean? also, can you shut up, your whole perversion is like a bad joke that stopped being funny a while ago."

"everyone! our bus has shown up as well, please line up in an orderly fashion."


"RESTROOM! RESTROOM! WHERE IS THE RESTROOM!" the drive to the rest stop before the arrival to the summer camp was quite long and everyone was already feeling stiff from having to sit for so long. while Mineta was looking for a restroom, everyone else was stretching out trying to get the stiffness out.

"*yawning* ugh! that bus ride was long! it's nice to have a place to move around but isn't it a bit weird to rest in such a desolate place."

"RESTROOM PLEASE! WHERE IS THE-!" Bakugo then kicked Mineta in the crotch which unfortunately caused him to pee in his pants.

"there! you went! now shut the fuck up already!" Mineta's mouth started to foam due to the mixture of pain, frustration, and embarrassment; just then Aizawa got off the bus and then noticed Mineta's state.

"Mineta get up, this isn't a place where you will be resting."

"huh? what do you mean by-?" just then an approaching black car honked at them to get their attention.

"ah, here they are, they'll explain everything." then the black car parked in near the bus and what came out was two women in techno cat-like idol costumes.

"Behold! your feline fantasies are here! the cute cat-like girls: the wild wild pussycats!" everyone was speechless not out of admiration but due to confusion, Mineta seemed to like what he was seeing but then Bakugo kicked him in the back of the head.

"... ahem, students, these are the pro hero's who will be working with you during the summer camp their-"

"oh wow! the wild wild pussy cats!" Izumi couldn't help but shout in excitement, not knowing that she interrupted Aizawa. why do my own students keep interrupting me?

"they're a four-member team of search and rescue heroes! they work best in mountain environments and although they do classify as search and rescue they are also famous for defeating and arresting many villains! their truly pro heroes with many years of experience which is so surprising considering how youn-" just then the wild wild pussycat Pixie Bob grabbed Izumi by the head.

"what do you think you're saying, little boy?! I'm at least 18 years old! especially at heart! do you care to correct yourself?!"

"um, well no because I was going to say how surprising it is that you have so many years of experience despite how young you are."

"oh... well it's good that you understood that from the start little boy but do try to be more respectful of women, or else I'll make you regret it!"

"um also, I'm a girl."

"huh? ... oh... oh! I see you are a girl! a very cute one at that! in fact, all of the girls in this class are quite cute! say why not consider joining the wild wild pussycats after you graduate U.A."

"oh uh, I couldn't do that I'm nowhere near as talented as you are." also I'm not really sure I want to work with you. Izumi thought as she tried to keep a straight smile but was twitching out of fear.

"anyways, since we own the entire range of land and you see that base of the mountain right there? that's the camp where you will rest and train for the summer."

"oh cool! but why are we here then? shouldn't we have stopped over there?"

"I'm getting the feeling that we were never going to take the bus there."

"w- what? don't be ridiculous, it's not like they would just drop us at a random part of the forest and force us to go through hundreds of obstacles in order to get there right?" the wild wild pussycat Mandalay smiled confidently while Pixie Bob gave a more sinister smile and so did Aizawa.

"... aw, damn it." then in an instant the ground under the students lifted up and pushed them all off, causing them to all fall into the forest. next thing everyone knew they were all on the ground and covered in dirt.

"...ow..."

"oh hey since this is all our property we officially consent to your full use of your quirks! you have three hours to get to the campsite, of course, you can take longer but you will end up missing lunch if you do! and don't worry we don't have hundreds of traps waiting for you, instead, all you have to do is make it passed the beasts forest!"

"oh come on! that sounds like something out of a fantasy game."

"there's no use in trying to find any reason at this point, let's just get through this and get some grub."

"Alright, everyone! let us line up and stay close together, this is the property of pro heroes so let us show some respect but also do watch your back for this forest has most likely earned its name for a good reason, so do look out for hostile beasts."

"u- um, like that giant stone monster standing right behind you?!"

"yes like that giant stone monster standing right behind me... wait, what?" Iida then turned around and sure enough, there was a giant stone looking monster there, it roared viciously showing its large and sharp teeth.

"AAAAH! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Mineta started screaming and crying as he threw his balls at the monster though this only proved to aggravate the creature as it lifted its claw to smash him. Koda tried his best to talk to the monster but it wouldn't listen, so Izumi activated her Spark at 5% and dashed over to get Mintea out of the way. Izumi then looked back at the monster wondering why Koda's quirk didn't work but then looked closer to see that the reason the monster looked that way because it was literally made of stone with some dirt as well.

"I see! everyone, this monster is a just a puppet made of dirt and stone, most likely made by Pixie Bob's quirk! take Mandalay's words to heart and use your quirks at full power!"

"BEST IDEA I'VE HEARD ALL DAY! DIE YOU PILE OF SHIT!" Bakugo then rushed forward at the monster and before it could retaliate Todoroki used his ice to keep it in place, then Bakugo blew it's arm off while Iida used his Recipro burst to destroy the head while Izumi used her spark at 5% again in order to destroy what was left of the body so that Pixie Bob wouldn't rebuild it.

"wow, you guys took that thing out in seconds! awsome!"

"great the monster's gone, now let's get out of here before Pixie Bob creates more of them."

"too late side characters, it sounds like she already prepared an army for us." just as Bakugo pointed it out, the growling and roars of more dirt monster got louder and louder until everyone could hear it.

"I know I already complained about this but, OH COME ON! isn't this a little much!"

"stuff it Kaminari, we have to get through this or else we won't get anything to eat."

"he's right! besides this is a part of the training so consider this our first trial and the food at the camp to be our reward!"

"ok then, Class 1-A! let's go!"

"YEAH!"


at first, it wasn't so bad working together as a class in order to destroy the monsters and get closer to the camp but as time went on everyone started getting exhausted and it didn't help that the number of monsters wouldn't go down no matter how many were destroyed. after more than three hours they finally managed to get out of the forest but were practically walking corpses at this point. they were all dragging themselves out of the forest-covered in bruises and some were even bleeding from injuries or overuse of quirks, Izumi was actually knocked out and was currently being carried by Iida. they then managed to present themselves in front of Aizawa and the wild wild pussycats at the camp but none of them had the strength to straighten themselves.

"ugh... hrm... huh? huh?! Iida watch out!" Izumi then woke up, jumped out of Iida's arms, and got in a fighting stance but then realized that she where she was.

"huh? oh. oh! we're out! we're finally out of the forest! YEAH! WE MADE IT! yeah! yeah... ugh..." even cheering proved to be too much and Izumi immediately collapsed, she was still conscious this time but she couldn't move, once they saw this happen all of class 1-A followed suit and fell to the ground.

"Wow, congratulations kids! granted it took you longer than 3 hours but you passed way quicker than I expected you to! you're all amazing, especially you four!" Pixie Bob then pointed at Bakugo, Iida, Todoroki, and Izumi.

"I call dibs on these kittens, I'll groom them all! especially the cute girl!" Izumi then blushed in embarrassment while backing away in fear; Iida, Todoroki, and Bakugo were quick to defend her from the now crazy Pixie Bob.

"miss Pixie Bob please stop this!"

"aren't you supposed to be our instructor? why are you acting like a child?!"

"get the fuck away, you old hag!" Pixie Bob then backed off and was completely in silent, everyone looked at Bakugo wondering why he would say such a thing after everyone knew that when Pixie Bob was even slightly referred to as old she would get aggressive.

"What... did you just call me, little boy?"

"um, Kacchan, maybe you shouldn't-"

"what? you can't handle the truth, old hag?" Pixie bob then rushed over to Bakugo and looked him dead in the eyes with all of her rage.

"DID I NOT ALREADY SAY THAT I AM 18 AT HEART! DO YOU NOT SEE MY YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL FACE LOOKING RIGHT AT YOU! LOOK AT WHAT I'M WEARING! DO YOU THINK A REGULAR OLD HAG COULD PULL THIS OFF! NO! ONLY A PURELY YOUNG AND CUTE GIRL LIKE MYSELF COULD! SO GIVE ME A GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULDN'T SCRATCH YOUR EYES OUT, YOU LITTLE LIAR!" Bakugo didn't seem enraged or happily ready to fight at this point which was actually odd behavior of him instead he just looked at her in a bored expression, he then looked at her head and then grabbed something that was in hair.

"... wow a white hair, congrats grandma." Bakugo then showed her the hair and sure enough, it was white, and once she saw it so was Pixie bob for all her colors had drained from her body and she collapsed like a corpse.

"uh Kacchan, that was kinda cruel don't you think?"

"Well, how else was I supposed to make her shut up?"

"I think Izumi was right, you're nothing like my father if anything I think you're worse."

"shut the fuck up, icy hot!" Izumi could see this only escalating badly especially since Aizawa was looking increasingly irritated by Bakugo's behavior so she sought to quickly change the subject but couldn't think of anything until the little boy caught her eye.

"oh hey, speaking of age, who is that little kid right there?"

"hm? oh, this is my cousin's son Kota, he lives here with us. Come on Kota, say hi!" Kota continued to be silent as he glared at all of class 1-A, Izumi thought he was just shy and walked over to him to give a proper greeting.

"Hello, Koda! I am Izumi Midoriya, a student of U.A. but please call me Izumi, it's nice to meet you!" Izumi then smiled brightly which made Koda blush and stare at Izumi in awe but he then shook his head and glared angrily while poking both of her eyes in. at first, Izumi just stood there with some minor shock, still processing what had happened then she backed away from Koda and cried in pain while covering her eyes. as Kota walked off Uraraka, Bakugo and Iida quickly came to Izumi's aid.

"Such a low blow! how can a young boy be so dishonorable!"

"How could you hurt our precious Izumi!"

"YOU LITTLE GREMLIN! I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!"

"Just shut your mouth, you stupid wannabe heroes!" Kota then continued to walk away, Mandalay apologized to the students and then ran after Kota.

"tch, the brat's got spunk, I'll at least give him that."

"yeah Bakugo, he's almost like a younger version of you!"

"YOU WANT THAT QUOTED ON YOUR GRAVE, ROUND FACE?!"

"ok, that's enough horsing around, the bus is here so go ahead and get your stuff into your rooms, once you got that we'll have food in the cafeteria ready. this place has a public bath so afterward, you can use it to relax before you go to sleep but don't take to much time because training will start bright and early tomorrow."


now that they finally started eating none of class 1-A could stop eating, after having to go through that more than 3 continuous hours of fighting monsters and overuse of quirks it only made sense for them to eat like animals.

"aaaaah! eating never felt so good!"

"there's so much pork! I'm gonna eat it all!"

"wait there's pork?! don't be a jerk, let me have some!"

"God, I'm only eating rice but it tastes so heavenly! I can't wait to get myself some meat!"

"wow you kids love eating but don't get used to this, after today you'll have to make your own meals so eat well!" everyone then responded joyfully to Pixie Bob with an "Okay!" then quickly continued eating. Izumi was taking a break from eating for she had eaten a lot at the moment and nearly choked so she decided to slow down for a minute but then noticed Kota walking around with a box of vegetables, she couldn't help but feel sad because of how his glare reminded her of her dark form. just then Kirishima then sat in front of Izumi on the other side of the table.

"sup Izumi, how come you're not eating anymore?"

"oh, I nearly choked on the food so I'm gonna take a breather before I continue."

"oh cool, but you really should hurry up, it's getting late and we are on reserved time for the bath."

"oh right, yeah that will be nice, to have a nice hot and private bath just after eating and right before a nice long nap before another day of great training."

"private? on no we have something better! a public hot bath!" Izumi then froze with a broken smile on her face and then slowly turned to Mandalay

"p- p- public bath?"

"yeah! you know a wide and warm bath, nice hot steam to soothe the soul, and a wide enough space to really let loose. oh and don't worry we have one for both boys and girls blocked by a sturdy wall so you won't have to worry on peepers!" that's not really what I'm worried about Izumi thought as she started to sweat nervously and then looked at the girls who seemed to still be eating and not notice anything Mandalay just said.

"oh... ok that's good to know, thank you..." Izumi then resumed eating while still wearing her broken smile.

"... uh, Izumi? are you ok?"

"hm? oh yeah, I'm alright!" Izumi then managed to straighten up and put on a more bright smile and continue eating until she was done.

"aaaaah, that was good... Spark!"

"wait wha-" Izumi then used her spark as 10% to get out of the cafeteria and head to her room as quickly as possible, but she quickly fell to the ground for something was latched onto her leg.

"ugh... what?" Izumi then looked at her feet and was shocked to see that she had a plastic ring hooked on her leg and it was attached to a metal wire rope that Yaoyorozu was holding.

"Wha?! but how?! why?!"

"how? I made the ring cuff and the rope while Mandalay was explaining the bath and Hagakure took off her clothes and snuck the ring on your foot while you were eating." Izumi once again lost all of her colors as Yaoyorozu got up from her seat and walked over to Izumi.

"as for why, Izumi Midoriya! I grow tired of your excuses to spend some normal quality time with your female classmates! its time you swallow your pride and have a nice and warm bath with us!" My pride isn't the issue though! Izumi shouted in her head as she continued to sweat and shiver out of ever-growing fear, but then she managed to calm down and then stood up straight in front of Yaoyorozu.

"ok your right Momo-Chan, I have been neglecting you guys a lot and that's not really fair to be doing that so if you really want me to go that bad then I will go, after all its not like I can say no to you Momo-Chan." Izumi then smiled brightly to Yaoyorozu and then bowed in submission, but as she did she quickly whispered "spark." and quickly got her leg out of the plastic ring and made another run for it however when she turned around Uraraka was there with a disappointed looked and her hand right in front of Izumi, who ran directly into it causing herself to fall into the effect of Uraraka's quirk and was now trapped floating in the air.

"NOOOO! DAMN IT!" Hagakure and Ashido then grabbed Izumi as Uraraka released her quirk effect on her and dragged her to the bath area.

"guys! help me!" Izumi shouted to the boy's table who all seemed confused but then Todoroki and Bakugo got up and confronted the girls.

"would you please unhand Izumi."

"feel free to ignore scarface, it will give me a good reason to not hold back." Hakagure and Ashido were now sweating out of panic, Izumi was a little afraid as well but now also filled with growing relief. it would be nice if they didn't have to be so violent she thought but at least this will get me out of-

"hey come on guys leave the girls be!" Kirishima then locked his arms around both of them and he used his hardening quirk to keep Todoroki from using his fire or ice and Bakugo from using his explosions to get free.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, SHITTY HAIR!"

"The girls have their own bath and we have our own so let's leave them be."

"but can't you see Izumi doesn't want to go!"

"oh she's a girl, she'll be fine!" Izumi's face then went into shock as all the colors drained from her body, she then noticed that Kirishima winked in her direction but not at her, she then looked at Ashido and saw her wink back at him. as the shock left Izumi's system it was replaced with a new emotion, pure anger and it was all toward Kirishima.

"KIRISHIMA, YOU BASTARD! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!"


"wow, it really does feel nice!" now all of the class 1-A girls were in the public hot springs bath.

"yeah! the water is so warmly perfect!"

"it's so good that it's actually kinda heavenly!"

"wow, and the steam really gives a relaxing atmosphere to the air, aaaaah... *sigh* you know it would feel better if you were actually in the pool, Izumi!" Ashido shouted at Izumi who was sitting on a rock near the wall border while wearing a towel and a blindfold, she was shivering out of fear the entire time.

"come on Izumi! are you really going to keep breaking Momo-Chan's heart like this!"

"and whats with the blindfold? Izumi, I know you used to have a boy persona but you don't have to keep being polite like one. none of us will get mad if you see us naked." that's not the reason I'm wearing it! Izumi screamed in her head.

"hey Ocha-Chan, do you think you can convince her to get in with us?" Uraraka nodded and then swam toward the edge of the bath to talk to Izumi but then she realized that once Izumi would get into the bath she would essentially be naked and the thought made Uraraka redder than a tomato.

"uh, h- hey, since Izumi, doesn't want to g- get into the bath m- maybe we should respect that!"

"eh? that's unusual of you Uraraka, but you are her friend so I guess you know best." after hearing that Izumi sighed in relief, she was also surprised that at what Uraraka said but since it benefited her she didn't think about it too much.

"... get in the bath..." Izumi and the rest of the girls were then started by an unsettling voice coming from the other side of the wall.

"... Izumi... this is the spirit of the bath... get in the hot water... and then describe loudly how good it feels..." out of anger, Izumi used her spark at 5% to increase her strength and slammed her fish in the wall, which led to the sound of Mineta screaming in pain from the other side.

"knock it off you pervert! you nearly scared me half to death!" Izumi was expecting Mineta to throw another tantrum but instead, she heard him laughing like a lunatic and then she heard weird squishing noises. it sounded like something was squishing its way up the wall, then Izumi realized that Mineta was using his quirk to climb up the wall. out of shock Izumi was about to use her spark at 10% to jump up the wall and push Mineta off but then she heard him cursing at someone followed by the sound of him falling to the ground.

"huh? what just happened?"

"it sounds like Mineta tried to peep on us, but it looks like Kota stopped him, thanks, Kota!"

"hooray for Kota!" Izumi took off her blindfold and looked up and sure enough, Kota was there; he then looked at the girls and was in instant shock and then passed out as his nose started to bleed. he fell on the girl's side of the wall so Izumi used her spark at 5% and jumped up and caught him halfway to the ground.

"oh dear, guys it looks like he passed out I'm gonna-" Izumi then looked at the girls and could clearly see all of their bodies, she was in instant shock and then passed out as her nose started to bleed. as luck would have it she was close enough to the wall that when she started to fall her head hit the wall hard and it instantly woke her back up, but also hurt a lot.

"ow... I'm gonna get him to Mandalay."


"so that's how it happened huh? well, he's young but he's still a boy so I guess it would really be a shock to see so many well developed and naked girls all of a sudden. but that still doesn't explain why your nose is bleeding." Mandalay then looked at Izumi confused while Izumi was cleaning the blood off of her nose with tissues while also displaying an aura of dreed out of embarrassment.

"When I caught Kota mid-air I accidentally hit my face on the wall..."

"oh, I see well anyways thanks for saving him and please forgive him for attacking you earlier today." Izumi then remembered what Kota said afterward and how he seemed to have a negative attitude toward all of class 1-A because of their drive to become heroes.

"um if it's ok for me to ask... does Kota hate heroes?"

"... yes very much actually, perhaps if his parents were still around he would have wanted to be one as well."

"hm? what do you mean?"

"his parents... are dead." Izumi was slightly shocked but the feeling was mainly blocked out due to the growing depression out of her turning to her dark form.

"they died saving civilian lives, it was a noble death and everyone made sure to remind Kota of how honorable his parent's death was but in his eyes, he saw that their deaths were because they were heroes and now he only sees every hero as a traitor to life and in most cases, worse than villains." Izumi then covered her mouth so that she wouldn't howl from all her crying. just then Pixie Bob entered the room with tea.

"wow, who's the ugly boy? wait that's the cute girl, but why is she crying and why is her hair so black and death-like."

"I'm sorry *sobbing* its just, *sniff* Kota has been through so much *sobbing*" Pixie Bob then looked at Mandalay and instantly knew that Izumi had been told the story of Kota's parents.

"its kind of you to care this much, but please don't ever bring this up when you talk to him, it will only upset him more."

"hm? oh! *sniff* yes! I would never do that to him! after all, I don't know what would happen to me if I lost my mom..."

"hm? what about your dad?"

"Ryuko! don't ask about that!"

"oh, it's ok *sniff* my dad is actually... huh, you know I never actually thought about my dad, it was always just me and my mom and not once did it ever occur to me that I know nothing about my dad... weird."

"hm, well anyways, it's getting late you should really hit the hay."

"Oh yes, of course, I hope that Kota recovers well." Izumi then ran to her room to get changed into her pajamas, but that night she didn't sleep well knowing how Kota hated heroes because he blames them for the death of his parents. I shouldn't try to convince him to like heroes, he has a right to hate them even if it is weird to hate someone who helps people. but still, I want to help him, I just don't know how. Izumi continued to ponder this even when she finally went to sleep.
