Tensei remembers the day when Tenya first brought his infamous gang of friends home and introduced them to him.
Ueno Hibiki and Kimura Akemi are attached to the hips and partially twins, and they enjoy driving Tenya up the wall.
Seiba Hiroi is fantastic, and he's a relaxing influence on his straight-laced little brother. His puns are awesome.
He was completely prepared for the utter chaos that the trio of crazies bought along with them, but when they finally settled around the table and began some idell chat nothing prepared him for the oddly philosophical and mature yet can makes-no-sense-at-all chatterbox that is Kimura.
"You know, Tensei-san, you're actually my favourite hero." Out of nowhere, the girl had spoken up, perking everyone's interest. Tensei blinked and looked up with surprise, having not expected this.
"Really?" Seiba questioned with a raised eyebrow, "I though you liked fictional characters better. For example I found your full-body pillow with- muff" his words were cut off with a grunt as the golden-eyed burnette snatched a carrot off her plate and stuffed it into his mouth to shut him up.
"Thank you for your support!" after a moment to make sure Seiba is alright, Tensei grinned at his brother's friend, who smiled back twice as wide. "I always love my fans. And feel free to ask me for an autograph if you want, I don't mind!"
"Oh!" The girl quickly shook her head, "Nah, I'm fine!"
"I always thought you were the type to like All Might." His little brother turned to face her, "and you've never expressed int interest in the hero industry before, Akemi, so why...?"
"Oh. Novel research." The girl stated matter-of-factly and Tensei recalled Tenya telling him about Kimura's dream of becoming an English novelist.
"And I suppose I like Ingenium better because he's... Closer, I guess." The girl suddenly looked thoughtful, "All Might's amazing and I admire his power and ability, his goal and what he's done is amazing, but he's..." She frowned, "Too far away, too hard to touch and so... Just so far and not close. Like a legend or a fairy tale, someone you'd never even dream of meeting or just saying 'hi' with. And Temsei-san, compared to that, you're so much closer. So much more real and just here. Someone you can imagine meeting and grabbing a drink with and just saying hi to down the street and I really like that."
"Real heroes don't need to be all grand and powerful." Kimura concluded, "I just think they need to be real. They need to be there. And most of all, " she grins even bigger, "You're Tenya's big bro and you are a great influence on him and I know you. I don't even know who All Might really is past his fame and grandeur, so I really can't say I like him."
Tensei blinked at the girl.
That was... Unexpected. When he first heard of Kimura he thought of a slightly crazy girl with unkempt brown hair and golden eyes, joking about memes and slipping English into her sentences. But this?
Wow. That's kinda... Deep.
And the girl proceeds to chug down half the glass of water and started yelling about glasses half full and glasses half-empty being bullshit and water is water.
Huh.
"Interesting friend you've got there, little brother, "
Tenya facepalms.
"You tell me."
Kimura Akemi
She is a philosophical idiot who sprouts weird ideas about humanity that makes so much sense then does something stupid like flipping the table.
Please RnR for motivation!
