A view of a destroyed city with many corpses of monsters and humans lying on the ground. And amid that terrible scene, Izuku stood with his body trapped in a block of ice with five scratches that penetrated his chest. Plus the three figures were indistinct but exuded an inhuman aura that made him tremble.
Nighteye who witnessed the scene couldn't believe it. Just from a brief touch, he witnessed the scene of destruction.
That horrifying image didn't even disappear even after he let go of his hand. It was still etched clearly in his head as if commanding him not to forget it.
' What did I just see? '
Predicting someone's death was nothing new to him, however, this was the second time he had witnessed someone's tragic death. Moreover, he saw the scene at that time from his perspective and not from the perspective of the person he touched, as if he had been there witnessing the tragedy with his own two eyes. Also, this was the second time he had used his sight even though a day had not passed, which only added to his confusion.
Watching Nighteye who had a strange expression on his face made the people around him quite confused. They wondered since Nighteye had become silent since shaking hands with Izuku. Izuku also noticed that and called out to him once again.
" Are you okay Nighteye-san? "
Coming out of his reverie, Nighteye looked around only to get confused looks from the people around him. Worried Bubble Girl then asked him again.
" Are you alright, Sir? "
" Yeah, I'm fine, I just suddenly remembered something. "
" I see, thank goodness if you alright "
Seeing Nighteye's reaction like that, Izuku realized that there was something he was hiding, but even so, he chose to remain silent since Nigheye didn't seem to want to talk about it. And since his business was finished, Izuku decided to go back and hand over here to them and return to his work.
" Then, Nighteye-san, I will take my leave first since there is still some work waiting for me at the office. "
" Ah, I see, sorry for taking up your time. "
" Not at all, then please excuse me "
When Izuku was about to leave where he was standing, Nighteye called him again as if he wanted to convey something.
" Wait, Guild Master "
" Yes "
But when Izuku turned around and looked at him, Nighteye seemed to give up his intention. From the expression he made, it seemed he was doubting something.
" no, it's nothing "
" I see, then I'll go first "
" Yes, be careful when you come back. "
" Of course "
Seeing his reaction like that, Izuku decided to continue his walk. Nighteye stared at Izuku's back with a sad look for a moment before turning away.
That night Izuku returned after doing the remaining work at the office.
" I'm home "
" Welcome "
One greeted Izuku as soon as he came home. Izuku raised his head and he could see Kiyoko welcoming him. Seeing her come out of the kitchen, it looked like she had just finished preparing dinner.
Since Izuku officially became part of the Ichirou family, he started living with Kiyoko at the Hiroto family residence. Apart from the reason of protecting her, he stayed there to accompany Kiyoko who now only lives alone. Besides that, considering her current condition, it would be dangerous to leave her alone, especially when there are still dangerous enemies targeting her out there.
" how is your work? "
" same as usual "
" I see, I've just cooked dinner, go clean yourself and come down before the food gets cold. "
" Yes "
Following Kiyoko's words, Izuku went up to his room to clean himself before finally going down and eating with Kiyoko. While eating, Kiyoko occasionally talked to him about his daily life, be it what he did or who he met. Izuku of course answered just to relieve her worries, although sometimes he omitted some details in the story.
Ever since Ichirou died and Izuku became part of her family, Kiyoko has become a bit overprotective of Izuku. She often worries if Izuku doesn't come home on time and always calls him at least once a day. She did that because she was afraid that something might happen to him like what had happened to her husband. Well, it didn't seem strange, since Izuku and her unborn child were all she had now.
As soon as they finished dinner, Izuku got up and helped Kiyoko put away the cutlery before finally returning to his room.
As soon as the door to his room closed, Izuku stared for a moment at the dark room he had recently been in. A simple room not too big, that is not too different from the room he previously occupied in the dormitory. There weren't many things that filled the room, except for a few small ornaments that Kiyoko had placed there.
Izuku then walked to the side of the bed and immediately sat there. With a moment's pause, Izuku then closed his eyes and used the 'Share Sense' skill on a certain target. From the image he chose, he could see a little girl with long white hair who was lying on the bed while enduring pain. Both her hands and feet were still wrapped in thick bandages.
Izuku watched Eri for a moment, he watched Eri whose expression she made when she closed her eyes made Izuku unable to bear it. He whispered and called his trusted subordinate.
" Beru "
" Yes my Liege "
Following his master's wishes, the summoned Beru rose from the little girl's shadow and immediately carried out his king's orders. Beru then stretched out his hand and immediately green light began to emerge from his claws and immediately wrapped the girl's body.
Feeling the warm light covering her, Eri then opened her eyes and was immediately shocked after seeing the figure of a black ant monster that suddenly appeared beside her bed.
Beru realizing Eri's surprise tilted his head in confusion. Even though his master sent him to heal this little human, he didn't understand why this little creature was not grateful and was even scared when she saw him.
Once he was finished with his healing, Beru then bent down to match his gaze with the small human in front of him which made her step back in fear.
" Little creature, what are you afraid of? Shouldn't you be grateful for being helped? "
" w-who are you? "
" Me? I am the most loyal servant of my Liege that he sent. I, who was bestowed with the name Beru, was assigned by him to look after you. "
Eri, who didn't get what Beru was talking about, only became confused again and became even more afraid of Beru who stared at her intensely. Moreover, the aura she felt from him felt scarier than Overhaul.
" Wh-why? "
" Why, you ask? It's because he cares about you, even ordering the great me to look after you and ensure your safety. "
Even though she still didn't understand what the black monster was talking about, there was one thing she knew. The warm feeling she felt earlier felt familiar and reminded her of the black-robed young man she met that day. But strangely, she didn't see the man anywhere and only the monster was in the room with her. Previously, she had also seen a green light coming out of the monster's hand.
Thinking about it again, Eri realized that the one who had healed her was the monster standing in front of her, and to confirm this, she took the courage and asked him directly.
" T-then were you the one who healed me? "
" Yes, of course by order of my great Liege "
" I-I see, thank- "
" If you want to thank, thank my Liege who had sent me to you "
" Liege? do you mean the person in the black robe? "
" Of course who else, he is the most extraordinary and most understanding king, he even assigned me as his loyal servant to you. "
From the words she heard from Beru, Eri could feel his sincerity and admiration for Izuku. Seeing him like that, Eri felt that his figure became less scary. Thanks to that, Eri relaxed her fears a little and was able to relax more towards Beru.
" Then, Beru...-san, can you tell me what that person's name is? "
" With Pleasure, not just his name, but I will tell you about his achievements, he... "
Eri, who listened to Beru's story, looked excited. Her innocent face and sparkling eyes, when she heard Beru's story, made her look like a little girl her age.
Izuku watched Beru and Eri's interactions from his room. Even though Beru's explanation made him speechless, seeing Eri's sparkling eyes made Izuku breathe a sigh of relief.
Even though he was worried about entrusting Eri to Beru considering his brutal personality, it seems that Eri's innocence managed to conquer him, even though the method was a little unexpected.
Putting aside Eri and Beru, Izuku then turned to his other shadows which he placed in various places around the world, watching various places and hunters who could potentially be targeted by the Monarchs.
Izuku had been doing this since the press conference that day. Almost every time he had free time, he would carry out checks like this, to find the whereabouts of the Monarch.
But despite the various efforts he had put in, he still couldn't find the whereabouts of the enemy he was looking for. Even so, Izuku still refuses to give up, not until his revenge is avenged.
The day after, precisely at night, at the Yakuza's main residence, a meeting took place between the leader of one of the underworld organizations, the Yakuza, and the leader of the League of Villains. The purpose of the meeting between the two leaders was to discuss a cooperation agreement between the two organizations and also to discuss the latest weapons being developed by Chisaki.
A bullet capable of destroying someone's quirk with just one shot. Currently, prototypes of these bullets have spread on the black market, and have even reached the hands of several villains.
The conversation between Chisaki and Shigaraki lasted a long time, but in the end, they reached an agreement and would work together. The League of Villains collaborated by mobilizing its two members Toga Himiko and Twice to become members of the Yakuza. Even though they have their own goals, they are each willing to work together. And that was without realizing that a third party was also listening to their conversation.
Izuku who had been listening to their conversation could only clench his fists in annoyance. He didn't expect that someone would use his child's body to develop such a terrifying weapon. If possible, he wanted to immediately break into the Yakuza headquarters and save Eri, but he still held back.
After finishing his supervision, Izuku then took his jacket and was about to walk out. However, when he just came out of his room, he ran into Kiyoko who was also coming out of her room.
" Izuku? Are you going? "
" Yes "
" Where are you going at this hour? "
" just taking a short walk "
" Oh, I see, if that then don't go too far, don't go too long, okay? When you come back, rest immediately. Then be careful when walking around, if you meet a criminal, just beat him up straight away, but don't kill- "
" Kiyoko-san "
Hearing Kiyoko's long worries that were too excessive, Izuku immediately stopped her before she even banned him from going.
" I'll be fine, have you forgotten that I'm the strongest Hunter in this country? "
" but, still... "
" No need to worry, I can take care of myself "
" Is that so... "
In the end, the one who won this debate was Izuku. Since these arguments happened almost every day, Izuku had gotten over it.
" Then I'll go first, you should rest, I'll be back in a few hours. "
" yes, be careful, take care of yourself "
" yes "
After saying goodbye to Kiyoko, Izuku left the house. He strolled for a while on the street near his house before finally turning in a certain direction. He even increased his speed until he arrived at a five-story white building.
Arriving in front of the building, Izuku immediately entered without hesitation. The reason he went to this place, which was an hour from his residence, was because someone he met was there.
Izuku walked for a moment and after passing through several floors and rooms he arrived at a room that had the only human presence in the building.
Izuku then knocked on the door of the room and after he heard the answer from inside, he without hesitation opened the door of the room and went straight in. Izuku was silent for a moment when he saw that the room he entered was filled with All Might posters and decorations which quickly brought his mood down, without realizing that the person he was going to visit was looking at him in surprise.
" I didn't expect to receive guests at this hour, especially from you guild master, so what's your business coming at this time of night? "
" Ah! Sorry for the disturbance Nighteye-san, but I have the information I must convey to you. "
