Thank you sugarhigh, starrat, pendora59, softsoundjameson, Krowe Carter, Kancolle Haruna Chan, Lightblade23, hellocherryblossoms for the reviews~!
Sorry, it took so long for this update, I just finished my finals so I've been busy doing the needed requirements to pass my first year :)
Disclaimer: BNHA is not mine. The only things I own are my original characters and some plots in this story.
English is not my first language, and writing stories is just a hobby, so I apologize for any mistakes made in the story.
*Note: these 'thoughts' are all from Akasuki unless said otherwise.
Italics like this without ' ' and with * * is the author breaking the fourth wall.
I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Reminder: Althea is Akachan's name before reincarnating.
"UNFORTUNATELY, HE ISN'T"
16 years old
Akasuki bent down, placing her hands on her knees as a smile formed on her face.
"Good morning, Chia-neesan, Zomi-neesan, and Ki-niisan", she greeted cheerfully as she stares down at the three gravestones, "Surprise~ I'm here again!"
She glanced at the bag placed on the ground beside her, reaching out a hand to open it, and began rummaging its contents.
"I was doing my usual morning run when I thought of visiting you guys!", she continues as she brings out three candles and a lighter from her bag.
She leans closer to the first grave, carefully placing a candle on the candle holder, "Don't worry, I promise to bring mama and papa next time! Oh, I love how mama decorated your gravestone, Zomi-neesan!"
After lighting up the first candle, she shifts her attention to place the second candle near her second big sister's gravestone, "I'll be starting my second year in Yuuei tomorrow. I'm kinda nervous though, I don't know why", she let out a chuckle.
"You know, you guys might find this weird but this is kinda nice", the redhead let out a wistful smile as she proceeds to light up the third candle.
"I remember Althea doing this whenever she got time"
The difference is Althea visited her parents' grave while Akachan's visiting her siblings' grave.
How ironic, in both life of hers, she's still visiting the cemetery in her free time.
"Back then, I was completely sure that my parents were listening to me", she said with a hum, "But when I remember Miss Lady and the office, I-"
She paused for a second, her wistful smile fading into a saddened one.
"Now I began to doubt they heard everything I've been blabbing about my whole life. It seems like the same goes for you guys too, huh"
She reached out and caress her big brother Kiseki's gravestone with a sad smile, "It kinda hurts but... I'm mature enough to understand that you know?"
"But I'm still gonna talk to you guys though!", she brightened, "I hope you guys are happy up there, or maybe you guys got reborn like me then I hope you guys kickass!"
Akasuki stood up before stretching out her arms up high, "Right, I still have some training with Katsun and Izukun today! I'll visit you guys next weekend, bye bye~"
The redhead reached down and grabbed her bag, then with an energetic wave of goodbye she began running towards the direction of her home.
She was scolded as soon as she stepped inside her home though.
"Oh, look! It's Eraserhead!"
Nejire pointed at the underground hero below with a grin, "Seems like he's the one in charge with the firsties this year!"
"W-We should be glad he wasn't in charge with us", Tamaki shiver at the thought, who is crouching on the floor with his back on the balustrade. [1]
He lowers down his head, "And... is it really alright for us to skip the opening ceremony?"
The four second-year students stood, well one of them is crouching, in front of Class 2-A's classroom after walking around the campus successfully avoiding the teachers patrolling the classrooms earlier.
Down below, stood the newly made homeroom teacher, Eraserhead, in front of Class 1-A holding a tablet.
Most likely getting ready to test them just like what he did in canon.
"I already made sure everything's fine with Suichan!", Akasuki responded with a grin and a thumbs-up, "So don't worry too much, Tamakun! Now we get to ditch the boring morning ceremony, isn't that great?"
"Yeah! Don't be such a killjoy, Tamaki-kun!", Nejire pouted as she crouches down beside the indigo-haired boy and began poking him on the shoulder, "You should really learn how to live like a human sometimes!"
Mirio let out a laugh, "We're certainly in a lively situation, aren't we?", he jokes, "Well, we're certainly a much livelier than those on the training grounds"
The redhead beside him wince at the reminder, "You wouldn't be a bit lively when it's our turn to do the quirk assessment tomorrow", she let out a sigh.
"He's still our fundamental heroic's teacher, remember?"
The four friends shivered at the thought.
Students from Class 2-A and 2-B slowly arrived at Ground Gamma for their joint training exercise.
Mirio walked in wearing his hero costume and glance around, perking up once he spotted a certain redhead a few meters away.
"Nice alterations on your costume, Akachan!"
Mirio beamed as he walks closer to the redhead, who turns to look in his direction before smiling slightly at the blonde.
He stopped a few inches away and give the girl a thumbs up, "It suits you very much!", he exclaimed cheerfully.
Akasuki smiles back at the blonde male while readjusting her different designed visor, "Somehow I got a feeling that there's a joke within that statement", she responded cheekily earning a laugh from the blonde.
A few of her hero costume alterations consist of an aviator visor- she totally gave up on using her quirk for this, a wrist-worn gadget- looking similar to the futuristic wrist mini-computer seen in the movies, black arm gauntlets, two communication earpieces, and redesigned boots.
The aviator visor is designed to hide her eyes, whose color changes when activating her quirk.
Her futuristic-looking wrist-worn gadget, which also compliments her hero costume with the red screen attached to it, functions like some kind of controller or a mini-tablet/computer for gathering new information.
The black arm gauntlets are designed to support her aerial battles, which she still struggles a bit on mastering.
The redesigned boots, still in the shade of black but with a few vermillion red designs added, have a new feature to make her stick on her screen-hoverboard more than usual.
Which the redhead is forever grateful since she has fallen a billion times whenever she lands on her hoverboard mid-battle with Sir Nighteye.
"Oh~ What does this do?", Nejire, who appeared out from nowhere making the redhead girl flinch at her sudden appearance, eyed the gadget on the redhead's girl in pure curiosity.
Much to the redhead's protest, the periwinkle-haired girl pressed a random button on the screen of the gadget, making Akasuki sigh.
A small red sphere-shaped drone flew from one of the redhead's belt pouch, startling her two friends.
The red spherical drone, which looks quite similar to a Pokeball, looks about the size of a tennis ball and has a camera placed in the middle.
Not to mention the letter 'V' written in cursive on its upper right.
Akasuki held in a sigh at the sight of her friend's dumbstruck expressions.
"Wh-What's that", Tamaki peeked cautiously behind Mirio, just finishing changing into his hero costume, and began eyeing the spherical drone like a scared kitten.
Akasuki held out a hand in front making the drone move to levitate on top of her palm.
"This is PK", she started, her other hand pointing at the levitating drone, "It's a shortcut for "Pokeball" and no, Nerechan I'm not telling you why I named it that"
Nejire pouted at that statement.
Akasuki continues, ignoring the periwinkle-haired girl's pout, "It's no secret that I can't gather new information with my quirk that's why papa and I created her-"
"-It's a girl?!-"
"-to be the one gathering new information for me", she finished, glaring playfully at the periwinkle-haired girl who merely smiled innocently in response.
"So... it can scan us?", Mirio asked curiously with Tamaki still behind him, whose taking some cautious steps closer to the spherical drone.
Akasuki shook her head, "It's just a floating camera for now", she corrected while scratching her cheek with her other hand, "It's... still a prototype. I'm still working on adding those features in the future"
"She's so beautiful, Akachan!", Nejire beamed as she walks closer, playfully poking at the levitating drone, "Look how cute she is~", she cooed as she snatched the drone into her arms.
"Can I keep her?!", the periwinkle-haired girl pleaded, hugging the drone tighter in her arms as she gives the redhead a puppy-eye look, "Please! Please! Please! I promise I'll take good care of her and-!"
Akasuki wordlessly pressed a button on her wrist-worn gadget, which we'll identify as a watch, watching as the drone shrink into a size of a golf ball and fell from the periwinkle-haired girl's arms onto the ground.
The drone lights' dimmed as she shut down by command.
"It shrunk!", Mirio exclaimed in awe as he crouches down on the ground, the trio stares at the drone in fascination while the redhead deadpanned at their reaction.
"She actually enlarges when activated", the redhead explained while bending down to grab the fallen drone, "It's the reason why I called her PK"
'Totally unrelated how I wanted it to look like a Pokeball and not by coincidence'
This just proves that her inner otaku cannot be contained- ever.
"Unfortunately, I can only connect with it for barely a kilometer though", Akasuki scratch her cheek sheepishly, her other hand pocketing the drone back into her utility pouch.
"Well, it is longer than how I can throw my screens but I'll practice on it"
Akasuki's move [Connect] allows her to connect to any gadgets or devices and gain information from these devices.
While her quirk [Archive] relies on existing information unlike Ragdoll's quirk [Search], which allows her to observe and monitor up to 100 people at a time, including their location and weak points.
That's why the redhead thought of this idea.
If her quirk only gathers existing ideas, why not create a support item that gathers new information for her?
That my friend is called discovering a loophole.
Work smarter not harder, as they say.
Akasuki let out a blissful sigh as she takes a bite of her chocolate parfait.
"I wish we could do this every day", she cooed as she takes another scoop, "Oh how I miss you my delicious parfait~"
Her three friends, who are all sitting at the same table, stare amusingly at the redhead who continues to eat her dessert in bliss.
"Ne ne, have you heard?", Nejire beamed, completely averting her friends' attention to her, "All Might is in Musutafu!"
"Oh, really?!", Mirio brightened up as he turns to face the periwinkle-haired girl, Tamaki beside him also perking up at the news.
Nejire cheerfully nods her head with a bright smile, "Isn't it great?!", she exclaimed while clasping her hands together in joy, "Now we have a higher chance to get a glimpse of him!"
"Although-", Nejire tilts her head to the side, her pointer finger tapping her chin curiously, "-I wonder why he came here, aren't you curious too?"
'He's here because the plot told him so', Akasuki held back a snort at her thoughts, 'Because it's a fated meeting or whatever, right?'
"Maybe he's here to lay low?", Tamaki offered before taking a bite from his takoyaki, "E-Even heroes needed some time off, right?"
"Or he could be settling with his secret love child", Akasuki offered half-heartedly before eating a scoop of her parfait.
The trio stared at the redhead, still processing what she said.
Nejire let out a gasp once the information sank in, "A secret love child?!", she whispers giddily, leaning closer to the redhead, "How did you know that, Sukichan?!"
'I watched the series, duh'
Which didn't really explained much since the 'secret love child' is Izuku- who isn't really All Might's secret child but rather a nickname the fans call him.
Er... yeah, taking that back now.
The redhead deadpanned, "It's a joke". She let out a hum as she takes another bite of her parfait, "Well, it could still be a possibility. He's a very private person, you know?"
"He is the Number One hero", Tamaki agreed quietly, "There's probably a lot of villains after him...", he trailed off as he wilted at the thought.
Mirio patted his best friend's back comfortingly, "It's All Might, everything will be fine!", he beamed with Nejire nodding at what he said.
'Other than the fact that his weakening, sure', the redhead thought dryly.
Akasuki glances at the television inside the cafe, only to spit out her drink when spotting two familiar boys on the news, startling the trio.
Tamaki, the redhead spitted on, looked at the redhead in horror as the blonde beside him began cleaning him with a handkerchief.
"One fucking time"
Katsuki glares murderously at the green-haired walking beside him, who lowers his head in shame.
"ONE FUCKING TIME I DIDN'T GO HOME WITH YOU AND YOU FUCKING ENCOUNTER A VILLAIN?!"
"Y-You encounter him too!", Izuku weakly defended only to let out a yelp as the ash-blonde boy smack him on the head.
"DON'T GIVE ME THOSE WEAK-ASS EXCUSES, NERD!"
It's been minutes after All Might saved the two from the sludge villain, now the two boys are heading towards their home.
Well, specifically the green-haired boy's home since the ash-blonde has zero trusts that his best friend will go home safely after what happened earlier.
To briefly explain the situation-
Earlier, Katsuki's 'goons' managed to convince him to go to a nearby arcade- explaining how the green-haired boy can handle himself fine now that he's a third-year middle schooler.
Katsuki reluctantly accepted after Izuku sided with his goons, although not after lecturing and giving him death threats if he didn't go straight home.
Izuku did head straight to his home, although it's as if the heavens are insisting the series continue its plot since the sludge villain appeared out of nowhere and attacked the green-haired boy.
Like in the series, All Might arrived and save him- even signed his notebook and-
Well, to be honest, you know how it goes.
All Might be an asshole and tell our cute cinnamon bun that he can't be a quirkless hero, Izuku spotting the sludge villain attacking Katsuki- who just exiting the arcade when he was attacked.
Then Izuku having a hero-complex ran and tries to save Katsuki which in the end failed since All Might appeared seconds after.
And now, in the author's opinion, is the best part of the scene.
"I AM HERE!"
The two boys stepped back in surprise as the number one hero appeared in front of them from the alleyway.
"A-All Might?!", Izuku exclaimed in surprise, Katsuki remained silent as he stares dumbfounded at the pro-hero, "Wh-What are you doing here?! Weren't you surrounded by reporters just now-?!"
All Might let out a laugh, "Getting away from them was a piece of cake!", he answered brightly.
"Why?", the number one hero continues while doing a heroic pose, "It is because I am All Mi-!"
With a poof, the smoke clears to reveal All Might's true form- a man looking like a skeleton while spitting out some blood.
Izuku let out a scream while Katsuki manages to hold back the urge to scream.
Although the ash-blonde boy's eyes widened as he stared dumbfounded at what just happened.
"You two found a trainer, you say?"
Kaori looks at the two boys before her curiously, who both began sweating like bullets at the intense stare.
The Genji matriarch sat on one of the chairs surrounding the dining table, the two boys sitting side by side in front of her.
"And who is this trainer you speak of?", she asked- more like demanded- as she placed her hands on her hips, "Do both Inko and Mitsuki approved of this? Isn't Genkei enough for -"
Akasuki walked from the living room and stopped behind her mother, placing her hands on her shoulders successfully stopping her mother's ramblings much to the boys' relief.
"You know Genkei-sensei is more than enough, mama", the redhead girl chimes in with a smile, "And you also know it's great for the boys to find someone else to train them since Genkei-sensei's schedule barely fit them, ne?"
The Genji matriarch adored the pro-hero, starting from when he saved her daughter up until their small tea moments with her husband.
That's why she of all people knows that Ectoplasm recently has troubles juggling training the boys for the upcoming Yuuei entrance exam and his job as a teacher in Yuuei.
This is due to Yuuei becoming understaffed due to a personal reason for most of their staff getting fired this year.
This means the pro-hero reluctantly takes over other classes, classes that aren't the hero course, resulting in having a much heavy workload.
"Besides I'll be meeting their training next week, after finishing some mission in the agency", Akasuki added before placing a kiss on her mother's forehead, "I'll make sure they're in the right hands~"
Kaori let out a sigh, "Well, it is true that Genkei looks so much tired these days", she frowned as she placed a hand on her cheek in concern, "I wonder if some cake would perk him up a bit?"
"He would love it", the redhead girl assured her mother, making her stand and began pushing her to the kitchen, "How about you start making it now so that it'll be ready for when I go to school tomorrow?"
And here she is saving the boys yet again.
"Here are all the other details for this mission"
Once in the redhead's possession, Akasuki opened the mission folder and began reading its contents.
"The villain group called 'Primals' has been under the radar of the police for child trafficking for months", Sir Nighteye continues, glancing briefly at the redhead's hands, whose grip on the folder tightened, before glancing back at his intern.
"It was only recently when an evidence show itself- or rather herself"
Sir Nighteye held up a picture making the redhead averted her attention from the mission folder to the picture of a boy who looks in the age ranging of 5 to 7 years old.
"He calls himself 'R4' but with the help of the police, we found out his name is Okuma Kenshin. His mother, Okuma Teruko, filed a missing report a year ago"
Sir Nighteye placed down the image on his desk, tapping it twice before continuing, "It was stated he got lost outside their neighborhood but no one, not even the security cameras, seen him leave"
Akasuki let out a frown, "Permission to speak, sir?", she asked politely which the pro-hero accepted with a nod.
The redhead bit her lip briefly, hesitating for a moment before parting her lips, "This... I thought I will be handling these- er, heavy cases in my third year, sir"
As the redhead calls him, the miracle worker decided to assign her some 'easy' cases such as a lost child case, burglary, robbery, and even long-hours patrolling around the area.
Once these easy cases turn out into heavy and serious crimes, she was instructed to give the mission details to either Bubble Girl or Centipeder.
So by all means, this is her first serious crime case.
Sir Nighteye let out a hum while leaning back at his chair, his gaze never faltering, "Take this as your test", he responded nonchalantly.
"A test whether you're ready for bigger cases or much harder training from now on"
Akasuki paled at the last statement.
"I-I'll do my best!", the redhead straightened her back, saluting stiffly at the pro-hero before her, mentally crying at her situation.
The mission was going well.
With her quirk, she managed to track down where the villains are keeping the children and contacted the police to search the premises.
It was going smoothly up until one heller decided to blow the whole place down, which ended up killing the villain.
Fortunately, most of the heroes and pro-heroes were outside when it happened but they are still some, both heroes and citizens, who were inside the building when it collapsed.
And info says there are still bombs that could erupt any moment.
"Hey, there little guy"
Akasuki bends down as she slowly reaches out her right hand to the trembling boy, who flinched at the gesture making the redhead girl pause.
The boy, looking about at the age of 4 to 6 years old, can be seen crouching, albeit trembling in fear, beside an unconscious woman who is most probably his mother.
The redhead girl glances down at the mother, looking for any other injuries aside from the arm trapped under a concrete before looking back at the boy.
The two citizens are surrounded by the fallen debris, the mother's body- from its position- is obviously shielding the boy from any fallen debris.
Somehow she always ends up in this kind of situation often in this second life of hers, huh.
Akasuki gave the little boy a soft smile, bending lower and resume thrusting out her hand to the boy, "I'm Vermillion, a hero-in-training", she started softly.
"You can trust me. Everything is gonna be okay so take my hand, alright sweetheart?"
The boy stared at her hand cautiously for a few moments before hesitantly grabbing with his right hand, making the redhead's smile widened.
"Now, use the screens to come up okay?", Akasuki instructed softly as she creates 5 screens to serve as stairs for the boy.
"Just crawl if it's difficult to stand up, okay?", she added after noticing the boy wincing when he tries to use his right leg.
The little boy slowly climbs up towards the redhead thanks to the red screens serving as stairs. Once the boy is within the redhead's reach, she scoops him up into her arms and turns around.
"Bubble Girl!", she shouted upon spotting the blue-haired heroine, who turns to face them and instantly began running towards their direction.
"He's injured and his mother is still trapped under", The redhead informed the hero intern as she passed the little boy to the blue-haired girl but to no avail.
The little boy just tightened his grip on her neck, hiding his head further into her shoulder, unwillingly to let go of the redhead.
Vermillion and Bubble Girl exchange worried looks.
"Hey little guy", the redhead cooed as she glances down at the boy in her arms, rubbing his back in comfort, "What's your name, brave hero?"
It took a couple of seconds before the little boy responded, "... Yori", he glanced up at the redhead shyly before hiding his face back into her shoulders shyly.
"Oki... Oki Yori"
"Then, Yokun", the redhead hummed, "I know you're scared but you trust Vermillion-neesan, right?", she asked which earned a shy nod from the little boy.
Akasuki bit back the urge to scream, 'Ohmygod. WHY THE FUCK ARE CHILDREN SO DARN CUTE?!'
"This is Bubble Girl", the redhead girl gestures at the blue-haired girl beside her, who let out a small wave at the little boy, "She's a hero like me! You can trust her, I promise!"
The boy raises his head and turns to stare daggers at the blue-haired girl for a few moments, who sweatdropped at such an intense gaze.
'He really doesn't like me', Bubble Girl thought while sighing inwardly.
Thankfully, the little boy reluctantly agreed to be carried by the blue-haired sidekick.
Once the kid is settled, the redhead heroine rushes back where to the boy's mother, who's still trapped under the debris.
Much to the girl's relief, she spotted four rescuers on the scene- doing their job in rescuing the trapped woman.
"-Slowly! Where on earth are those bomb squads?! Those mothers-!"
"-I've released some of my drones to survey the area", Akasuki intercepted startling the four rescuers.
She smiles as her golden eyes look to shine in amusement, "I can help steady the debris and make a path for all of you", she offered while creating a few screens with a wave of her hand.
"It's the least I could do"
The redhead continues to assist the rescuers with the use of her quirk, thank god for the hero license.
"On the count of three, we'll lift it", a black-haired male rescuer instructed, his hands grabbing the one end of the medium-sized debris and the redhead grabbing the other side.
Two woman rescuers stood on the two other sides, acting as support. Akasuki created a red screen under the debris just in case.
"One... two... three-!"
The redhead pursed her lips as she pulls up the debris, along with the three rescuers with her.
The other female rescuer, with strawberry hair and green eyes- also the one who cursed earlier, immediately bent down and start gathering the unconscious mother in her arms.
"I got her!", the strawberry-haired rescuer shouted before successfully pulling the mother out under.
The redhead let out a sigh of relief as she lets go of the debris, mentally noting to go to the gym after the operation.
The black-haired male rescuer pat her on the shoulder with a smile, "Good work, kid", he praised, "You'll make a great hero, thanks for the help"
"I totally agree!", indigo-haired female rescuer chimes beside the male, "There are only a few heroes who help us willingly, you know?"
The redhead looks at the female in curiosity, "Really? Why so?", she asked as the three of them began walking towards the next person in need.
The indigo-haired female rescuer shrugged, "Well, baby heroes nowadays kept on looking forward on the fighting part rather than the rescuing, you know?", she replied.
"Which I can't blame them since I also dreamed of punching villains when I was a kid-!"
The three of them paused when the indigo-haired female stepped on something that let out a 'click' sound.
Akasuki and the two rescuers shared wide-eyed looks.
"Oh shit"
For the record, the redhead did not say that.
"Don't you dare fucking move"
The indigo-haired female rescuer, whom the redhead found out her name is Obi, deadpanned, "I don't think I have a choice, Koike", she replied dryly.
Koike, the strawberry-haired female rescuer, let out a huff as she crossed her arms, "Now this is why I told you to not say jinx!", she shouted angrily.
Obi is currently surrounded by half of the bomb team, a few of her fellow rescuers, and some pro-heroes.
If it isn't obvious, the indigo-haired female stepped on a landmine and everyone else is trying- and failing- to stay calm.
"-You don't believe it? Well, here look at where you are now!"
"Wait, you jinxed us Obi?!", the black-haired male rescuer cuts in, looking at Obi like she killed his favorite cat, "How could you?!"
Obi let out a groan, "Oh shut up!", she responded grumpily, "It's not like you're the one stepping on the landmine, Takayama!"
The black-haired male rescuer, now named Takayama, let out a snort.
"Is she going to be alright?", Akasuki asked Sir Nighteye worriedly, who standing beside her, while looking at the scene, "Aren't landmines very difficult to defuse?"
Nighteye glance at the hero-in-training briefly before looking back at the scene, "You never failed to surprise me with your quirkless thinking, Vermillion", he responded making the redhead girl pout.
"Look at the man with gray hair", the pro-hero instructed which the intern followed.
Akasuki scans the crowd, spotting a man with gray hair who is obviously part of the Bomb Disposal Squad with the uniform he's wearing.
"He got special license to use his quirk for this situation", Nighteye explained while watching the gray-haired male bent down on the landmine and began defusing it with his quirk.
"Now stop worrying and quit thinking about doing things 'naturally' as you called it"
The redhead murmurs apologies as the two of them walk towards the direction where Bubble Girl and Centipeder are currently standing.
"Mom, I'm alright"
Akasuki assured her mother, who continues to scan her for any injuries alongside her father.
The three of them are at the Fujitani Hospital, the hospital-owned originally by Kaori Fujitan- now Sadao- parents but now owned by her younger brother, Kazuhiko Fujitani.
"I already told you she's fine", Kazuhiko Fujitani deadpanned, standing beside the redhead heroine, "Honestly, there are scratches but nothing serious. Do you doubt my skills?"
"We just worry too much, Kazukun", Sadao replied with a smile, grabbing his wife's hand and squeezing it in comfort, "Just a parent's overbearing worries"
Kazuhiko let out an exasperated sigh, "Well, don't. Akachan's completely fine and will you stop bothering Ume already. She's pregnant so quit it"
Kaori pouted at her little brother's scolding.
*If the readers' are confused, Ume Koto-Fujitani is Akachan's personal appointed doctor. She's been married to Kazohiko Fujitani for about 10 years now.*
The couple already got a 4-year-old son and now a little girl in a few months.
Akasuki let out a nervous chuckle as she patted her uncle's hand, "It's alright, Uncle Kazu", she assured the redhead male beside her.
"No", the redhead male disagrees, "You're training to be a hero. A job that consists of many chances of getting hurt. They're being a bunch of bigots!"
The redhead heroine sweatdrops as her uncle continue to lecture her parents, who suddenly can be seen kneeling on the ground like children getting scolded by their parents.
"-Now get out of here", Kazuhiko demanded as he pushes the family out of his clinic much to Sadao's protest.
"Here's the list of the rooms you might wanna visit", he added while giving Akasuki a clipboard. He gives her a pointed look, "I don't really care much but there's one stubborn boy that looking for you"
"A bit possessive and... too young for you, don't you think?"
Sadao gape at what his brother-in-law said, "My baby's never gonna marry!", he exclaimed before deciding to cling to his daughter, "She's far too young for that!"
"I married you at twenty years old", Kaori deadpanned at her husband, "You courted me when I'm 17, she's not a child anymore and let me have my grandchildren!"
Kazuhiko stared at the scene with a stoic expression, his sister continuing lecturing her husband who is still clinging at their daughter- who is giving him a pleading look.
The redhead male let out a sigh, "I swear I'm adopted", he muttered under his breath before stomping grumpily in their direction.
Unfortunately, he isn't.

AUTHOR'S REPLIES TO REVIEWS:
Krowe Carter, Oh, really? I honestly didn't mean it but I guess they are kinda similar.
Kancolle Haruna Chan, I'll be honest and tell you I am supposed to just copy-paste the previous and change some here and there. Then I realized, aren't rewrite supposed to be- you know, be different.
In the end, I just went along with the Departed Soul Office :')
LightBlade23, Thank you for the critique! I'm glad you like the changes and I absolutely agree that I made her too much weaker in the previous book.
And don't worry, I'm planning to make her live longer this time around.
