My Hero Academia: Yashiro The First Quirk
Ch.37- Hosu 911
"Yashiro-chan want some mochi!" FatGum called, we were in Hosu on our first patrol.
"Yes please!" I replied and raced over to him and he handed me a warm grilled mochi on a stick. "Looks yummy!"
"A new sidekick?" the man at the stand stated as I took a bite of my mochi.
"Work-study, introduce yourself," FatGum stated, I smiled and bowed.
"Space-Time Hero Sailor Pluto, nice to meet you. Also, you're grilled mochi is super yummy." I greeted, he smiled at me.
"Now what's your quirk young lady?" he asked, I smiled.
"What's your favourite thing sir?" I chimed, he thought.
"Tanuki statues." He stated, I made one and showed it to him.
"I can make anything I can think of, but once I stop focusing it will eventually go away," I explained, he clapped as I made the statue disappear.
"Wow that's a great quirk, you will be popular with the kids when you debut." He complimented, I blushed bowing.
"Thank you very much, sir." I thanked, he smiled and FatGum waved him off and we left.
"You've got a way with people like Mic-san," FatGum stated, I smiled up at him.
"He was very nice; besides I like talking to people," I stated and took another bite of mochi. "Mhmm, his mochi is so good."
"So, what kind of hero do you want to be when you graduate? Media hero? Underground?" FatGum asked.
"I just want to help people, but if it makes people happy to see me out and about then that's part of my job too." I chimed, he reached over and patted my head.
"You're such a good kid." He said, "Now make sure when you're out that even when you talk you keep an ear out for trouble."
"Will do!" I chimed taking a final bite of my mochi.
"Hello?" a voice called, I stopped and I saw a small boy looking around tears in his eyes.
"Hey, kiddo!" I chimed walking over and crouching down. "I'm hero Sailor Pluto, are you lost?"
"Uhuh." He sniffled.
"FatGum I am going to help this boy find his parents," I called, he nodded and I summoned Nimbus. "Alright let's go up on my friend Nimbus and we can look for your parents."
"Fluffy." He said poking Nimbus with a cute smile forming.
"Yeah, Nimbus is super fluffy, ready for a ride?" I asked, he nodded and I hopped onto Nimbus sitting down I pulled me up into my lap. "Keep arms and legs on the cloud at all times."
"Yay!" he cheered as I got Nimbus to raise us above the crowd.
"Alright kiddo, can you see your parents from up here?" I asked, he looked down and began to point happily.
"Papa!" he chimed; I spotted the man he was pointing to who was looking around worriedly.
"To Papa, you go!" I replied and dove down toward the man. "Sir I have your son!"
"Kota!" the man called as I landed Nimbus and handed him the boy. "Oh, thank you for returning my son."
"It's my job sir, now make sure to hold your Papa's hand from now on kiddo." I chimed, Kota nodded and his father bowed to me.
"What's your name?" he asked, I saluted smiling.
"Sailor Pluto Sir, a hero in training," I answered, he bowed to me.
"Thank you, Sailor Pluto, say thank you to the hero Kota." The man thanked; Kota smiled at me.
"Thank ou!" he cooed, I smiled and waved goodbye before I rode Nimbus back to FatGum.
"Good eye." FatGum complimented, I smiled as I hopped of Nimbus sending him off.
"It's nice here." I commented, he patted my head.
"How do you feel about your first patrol?" he asked, I put a finger to my chin.
"Lot more relaxed than I first thought, but I guess that's a good thing," I replied, he nodded.
"A quiet patrol means safe civilians." He replied.
"I wonder if Dad has nights like this…" I mused, he chuckled.
"I'm sure he does; I saw him feeding cats one patrol," FatGum stated, I giggled.
"That sounds like Dad." I laughed, he chuckled.
"So is your costume inspired by his?" he asked, I shook my head.
"I kinda just went with comfy and functional but now I feel it doesn't fit my hero name," I explained, he chuckled.
"While you're in school it's the best time to redesign and finalize your costume." He soothed, I smiled.
"I might work on that later, I wanna make it more fun and match my name. Maybe I can design after the Sailor Scouts." I mused.
"Sailor Scouts?" he quizzed, I turned to him smiling.
"Sailor Pluto was actually the name of a magical girl from a show I watched all the girls were called Sailor Scouts. Sailor Pluto was the guardian of the door of space and time." I explained.
"You really love anime." He stated, I nodded.
"Yeah, I love it, anime, cartoons, comics all that nerdy stuff! Kinda how I was able to think of a lot of things here, I loved to read superhero stories from my time. I kinda see a few similarities in this modern superhero society." I explained, he patted my head.
"You certainly have adjusted well." He complimented, I smiled.
"Everyone at UA helped me adjust, my classmates, Dad, Papa the other teachers. Everyone has been so great since I got here." I chimed.
"You're certainly optimistic."
"Why look on the dark side, I liked to believe there is more good than evil. Sure, people can be bad and cruel but there are even more kind people."
(FatGum's POV)
We finished up patrol and we were back at the hosting agency Yashiro was chatting with Mirio and Amajiki. Nighteye was out on patrol with his sidekick Bubble Girl. We wanted to keep a good coverage over the city with the other heroes we asked to aide us. Yashiro was certainly an interesting girl. She was bright, and smart and had a great kindness to her. Everyone she met on patrol she did her best to make them smile. Little kids she talked to a let them play with her and her quirk.
Yet she had a serious side when she looked over the Stain case, she got focused much like Eraser. She took her work as a hero seriously especially for someone her age. She was only a first-year and she acted more like Mirio and Amajiki who were third years. Honestly, I am glad to see her relax and be a young girl. I can see why Eraser was so confident in her abilities. I am sure he worries about her though.
"Here senpai's this is who I took my hero name from!" she chimed showing them her phone.
"Wow that's super cool, was this a favourite show for you." Mirio chimed, she nodded excitedly.
"Yeah, I watched this all the time when I was little. She wasn't my favourite but she fit my situation more. My favourite was named Sailor Jupiter she was a tough girl who loved to cook. I wanted to be strong like her!" she rambled, Mirio patted her head.
"I bet you will." He praised, she grinned at him.
(Yashiro's POV)
I went on a combini run with Amajiki-senpai, he was super shy so I offered to help him out. We were picking up breakfast for everyone, we had a list of everything we needed to get. FatGum had so much listed but I guess he needed it for his quirk. I was trying to decide what kind of Onigiri to get, I was thinking of tuna and mayo.
"Amajiki-senpai what are you going to get for breakfast?" I asked, he hide into his coat.
"Salmon Roe." He stated, I looked to him confused.
"What's that one?" I asked, he blushed.
"I'll show you when we get there." He replied, I nodded as we turned and came into view of the Hero Mart.
"I hope they have strawberry milk." I chimed as we entered and I pulled out our list. "We should grab the others stuff first."
It didn't take very long for us to grab all the items senpai was quick at finding everything and soon were picking out own. I grabbed my tuna mayo onigiri and then went to look at the flavoured milk. Sadly no strawberry milk, so I grabbed a smoothie drink. Senpai tapped my shoulder and showed me an onigiri. Oh, so Salmon Roe was the fish egg one, not sure I could eat that.
"Ah that's what it was, I think I would be too scared to eat that," I commented, he looked confused. "Not common where I was born."
"Oh." He stated and grabbed himself a green tea. "Let's go pay."
"Okay senpai!" I chimed; this work-study was going well so far.
(Later)
I was getting dressed in my costume we were about to go on another evening patrol. I wasn't sure if I wanted things to be quiet or for Stain to show up. I wanted to deal with that as soon as possible but I was nervous. Would I be able to deal with him? Would it be like when I saw that Nomu?
Shaking my head, I tied back my hair, it was uneven but it was out of the way. Papa and Dad always were so good at making it look nice. Momo helped me back at school too, I sighed and left the room. I saw FatGum standing there, I was going to patrol with him. We broke off into pairs while we patrolled.
"Ready to go?" he chimed, I nodded and we headed out of the building. "You look worried?"
"I wonder if we'll catch him tonight?" I mused, he patted my head.
"Don't stress yourself out, we'll get him." He soothed, I nodded.
"You're right," I replied.
We began our patrol and I waved to some eager kids out and about with their parents. It was interesting tons of people would wave and call out thanks to the heroes. FatGum told me it helped people feel safe to see our patrols. It made sense if anything did happen, they knew a hero was nearby.
I was learning quite a bit on the work-study I got to see and talk to more police officers. And see how the general population reacted to heroes. I wonder what it must have been like to grow up in this world. It was so different than home, but at the same time the more I saw the more familiar it felt. Sometimes I think I was always meant to be in this era.
"Maybe we can stop for Takoyaki later," FatGum stated, I looked up at him.
"I haven't tried that yet," I stated, his eyes light up.
"Then we'll definitely have to get some!" he cheered, I nodded he was super fun to be around.
"Sounds great," I replied, I looked around smiling.
Then I heard something, I stopped and looked to see smoke in the distance. Then I heard what sounded like screams, I felt like time had just stopped. What happened? Was there an accident? No way Stain would make this so flashy.
"Follow me," FatGum ordered.
I nodded and raced after him. Maybe there was a fire or a car crash, or was it a villain. We began to head out of the downtown core, we sprinted through alleys and weaved through crowds. People were running and it was making me more worried.
As we ran, I heard something familiar, the sound of engines. I stopped and spun to see a silver leg please through a gap in the alley. Iida, then that means, Stain. I felt my heart speed up as I looked at FatGum as we raced through a restaurant-lined Alley.
"FatGum I saw Iida race the opposite direction," I explained, he skidded to a stop and looked deep in thought.
"Here this is a tracker I will send the Lemellion and SunEater to help you." He stated, I took the device and nodded. "Go before you lose him."
"Yes sir!" I replied and spun on my heel and summoned Nimbus and jumped up on him.
Please, Iida, stay safe, I will be there soon. Please don't let that hero be dead by the time he gets there. I don't want Iida to see something like that. I gripped the front of my hoodie as I ground my teeth as I scanned the areas for him. I will protect you, I will save you!
