A/N: Thanks for taking the time to read this! No clue where this is going but we'll go on an adventure together!
BTW I've only see My Hero Academia the anime. Is the manga very different?
Chapter 8: Is breaking into your own account illegal?
When I arrived at the Tea Shop, I went upstairs to my apartment to shower and change before going downstairs to work. When I opened the door, I found Nuriko on a laptop sitting on my couch.
"Got a new laptop?" I was a little tired to ask how she got into my apartment, but I wouldn't be surprised if she learned how to pick locks. I took off my shoes at the entrance and walked towards the bathroom. I closed the door behind me as I prepared the shower when I heard "It's yours. I found it in your bookshelf among books." I didn't know thee was a laptop here… I hurried with my shower now more curious.
As soon as I was done and dressed, I hopped on the couch near Nuriko. I had an hour before I had to go back to work for the evening shift. "Wasn't this locked?"
"Uh huh." Nuriko kept browsing gaming sites as I looked at the laptop. "And you unlocked it?"
"Yup." I'm glad to see I'm surrounded by conversationalists. "If you're going to yell at me about this, let it be known I'm not sorry. This wasn't turned on for over a month." Well yeah, I didn't even know this existed. "I won't" I stated lifted my hands to show no harm.
"But you'll have to pay the price for coming into my place and touching my property with no permission."
Nuriko stopped typing. She looked at me with apprehension. "What you mean?"
"Oh…its just a simple price to pay. Practically harmless."
Nuriko was starting to close her browsers. "I need to you unlock my bank account." I immediately said not wanting her to run away. "You know how to do that right?"
"Shouldn't you be able to get into it yourself?"
"I got amnesia. I forgot how. Think you can do it?" I got up and went to my purse to get the bank card. "I don't even know the pin." I handed Nuriko the card.
"If I can open this…can I keep using this laptop?"
"Absolutely! But it has to stay in this building!" I didn't want to lose access to it now that I know it existed. Maybe I can use it for research.
"Okay." Is this illegal? Asking a minor to hack into a bank account that I technically own? That's gotta be legal right? "While you're at it let's also change all the passwords to stuff both you and I can know. You can even make your account on this laptop."
What I expected to take the full hour only took Nuriko about twenty minutes to do. She managed to get into my bank account, reset all the passwords and security questions, and generated a new pin. To make her feel like she wasn't being used, I gave her a fourth of the money in the account. Apparently, the former owner was either really good with saving money or found a bucket of gold at the end of a rainbow cause there was a good amount of money in this account. Nuriko also told me there was a locker attached to the account for valuable property which I will have to check out later now that I have new codes, so the bank lady won't block me again.
Nuriko left me in the apartment saying she had stuff to do since I paid her. That left me with thirty minutes to look through this computer. The browser had the former history. One on fansites for heroes. Another site was a social media site that most of the pages followed were about cute stuff pets did. The account remained logged into the social media site, so I went to check out what was uploaded. There were pictures on private mode. Some of random places. A few of paparazzi style pictures of some hero in action. There was one of interest near the oldest pictures of the green haired lady sitting at a lunch table next to me. Everyone was younger in the picture and everyone was smiling but the smiles never reached the eyes. Okay…so we got a history together but what? I scrolled further down and found some privatized pictures of letters in red. The content of the letters was not family friendly. Some were even threatening in tone but I couldn't tell who wrote the letters nor why it was posted online. This reincarnation stuff is more complicated than it seems. I always thought if I were to be reborn, that I would actually be reborn from baby birth growing up. I didn't expect to appear in the middle of someone's life and trying to figure out the pieces but here I am. I needed to get more invested on the past since it seems whatever happened wasn't resolved. Shame. Well guess its time to adult and figure stuff out.
"HEY IRIS! We're here with your cart!" Present Mic's voice came through the window. I closed the laptop and placed it among the books again before calling out "On my way!"
I needed to focus on the here and now first before I start getting overwhelmed with the past. I looked one more time at the laptop before leaving my apartment to meet Present Mic and his friend.
