TREMIS

With a wave goodbye toward Emi-sense, Furue, and Ame-neechan are now waiting for Grandpa to come and pick them up.

Furue was tired, hungry, and wanted to sleep, but the cold air didn't really help to keep her awake, instead, it made her much more sleepy, she yawned a few times, and even Ame-neechan now picked up on it.

"You tired?" She asks and Furue nods, unable to form a word as her mind is now very very blank. "Alright, here. You can sleep like this till Gramp comes."

Ame-neechan slapped her lap softly and Furue…slowly leaned on it, the softness was something she experienced often, Ame-neechan always gave her lap to use as a pillow.

Slowly, tiredness overcame her and she soon fell asleep, while snoring lightly.

When she woke up again, she was now in her room, softly tugging into her bed with a comfortable pillow and warm blanket atop her. She was so comfortable in this, that she didn't want to move, her body feeling warm and comfortable was not going to make her move too, and just as she was about to let sleep overcome her again, the door to her room opened up, she got up a bit and saw it was Aya-nee and Yuzu-nii, they hold a tray and turn on the light, Furue's eyes squint at the sudden light.

"Oh? You woke up? Should have said so," Aya-nee spoke up, her tone was rough and rude just like Ame-neechan and Ono-nichan, But she was very caring just like the two too. Aya-nee set the tray next to her bed and opened the bowl, revealing a warm porridge. "Ame-nee make this, so you better eat everything." She took a spoonful before blowing it lightly and signaled for her to open her mouth, Furue did as Aya-nee asked and opened her mouth, letting the older girl spoonfeed her the warm porridge, it was a bit sweet, probably from the vegetable, and got a lot of ground meat in them, but it soft so she could swallow without chewing much.

"It's…delicious," Furue said, letting a smile creep up on her.

Aya-nee scoffed before taking another spoonful, "Of course, it was, Ame-nee make it. Now be a good girl and eat everything." Aya-nee is in middle school, she is almost a high schooler now and will go to the same place Ame-neechan goes to.

Meanwhile, Yuzu-nii is sitting next to her and wiping away the little bit she got in her mouth. He the same age as Aya-nee and went to the same high school, he was always like that, following after Aya-nee wherever she went.

Just as another bite of the porridge, Furue looks up and swallows it before speaking up. "Where…Grandpa? Ame-neechan and Ono-nichan?" She asks, wanting to know about the people who are not here.

"Grandpa got his usual meeting with the other orphanage so he would come back late, Ame-neesan is back at her school to pick things up and Ono-niisan is at his club today. They would be back in a bit." Yuzu-nii is the one who answers her as he wipes away the little bit of food she has in her mouth. "Also, Aya, please feed her properly, she got it all over her mouth." He said in an exasperated manner.

"HAH?! Why not feed her yourself? Come I will be on the wiping duty and see how you do it!" Aya-nee retorts back, handing the spoon to Yuzu-nii. He takes it and moves to be the one who feeds her, Furue could eat herself but being treated like this is nice, so she doesn't want it to stop.

Yuzu-nii and Aya-nee continue to bicker as they feed her and Furue just listen, they always like this, while Yuzu-nii doesn't really fight with others and often makes himself small, he bicker with Aya-nee like friends.

Before she knew it, the porridge was already gone, deep into her stomach, she didn't make a mess like when Aya-nee fed her, because Yuzu-nii's hand was much steadier.

"See? I didn't even make a mess, Now Furue, drink this and show me your arm." He handed Furue a cup of drink that looked purple, since it was handed to her by her family, she drank it without thinking and it was grape juice! Very sweet grape juice, she continued to drink till it was empty and let out a satisfying sigh.

Without knowing, her hand is already shown to the older girl who takes off her cast skillfully before flinching at the sight of her arm. "Am going to kill whoever did this." She whispered something Furue couldn't hear before applying something very cold to Furue's arm.

Furue flinched at the sudden coldness but a touch on the shoulder from Yuzu-nii made her calm down, after a few minutes, Aya-nee finished massaging whatever she applied on her skin and warp her arm in the cast again, it was a waterproof cast that made it so it was easy to open and close it, enable for a quick lotion applying session.

"There, done. Now, let's go play some games." Aya-nee spoke before she took out the precious console she always had with her, Furue never gets to touch it, as Aya-nee got it for her being able to score first place in her middle school and it was very precious and expensive, she worried that Furue would break it on accident so she never allows her to play with it, but she can watch and she was content with watching what she didn't understand.

The game they picked was in English, so Furue didn't understand any of them but Yuzu-nii and Aya-nee see to have no problem. Furue only knows a few words and that was the one taught by Ame-neechan.

They pick a car racing game and Furue watches as the screen splits into two and suddenly, Aya-nee hands her a very small controller she often uses with Yuzu-nii when they play together.

"I will teach you, so hold it like this." Aya-nee adjusts the grip on the little controller in her hand herself, before nodding and start telling her what each button does.

Once she understood the basics, they all pic their character and started racing, it was hard, every time she wanted to move fast she always hit an obstacle and she didn't even know what items meant and did, she just pressed randomly, but it was fun, it was fun playing with Aya-nee and she let out a loud giggle which makes Aya-nee and Yuzu-nii laugh too.

TREMIS

"I'm back!" Ame announced herself loudly and expected the usual greeting but…she was met with silence, that was weird, normally Aya would still be up and Yuzu would be with her, Ono would have come by now even with his club, and today gramp got a meeting so she expected him to be late.

Walking slowly toward Furue's room, she was surprised the light was up and when she opened the door slowly, she heard a low snoring, from the 3 children huddled up in one blanket, Furue's hand was still hanging tight to the controller while Aya just sleeps soundly using her arm as a pillow for Furue and Yuzu is sleeping next to the little child.

Seeing the scene, Ame smiled lightly, before slowly cleaning up after the mess to not wake them up and turn off the light.

She was now in the kitchen and cleaning the dish when she heard the sound of the door open, "I'm back." Followed by the unenergetic voice of Ono.

"Welcome back, Dinner is on the table." She peeks her head out of the kitchen and greets him before turning back to the dish. Ame heard Ono sit down on the table just as she was finished washing the dishes. She quickly dry her hand and walked toward the dining room, seeing Ono unusually this unenergetic as he was poking the vegetable with uninterested.

"What's wrong?" Ame asks as she drops the apron on the child before sitting and slumping back into the chair to find a comfortable spot.

Ono ignored her asking as if he was thinking about something, so she asked again. "What's wrong?" This time, she raised her voice higher to gain the boy's attention, but then the boy looked up at her, his eyes were tired and he seemed annoyed.

"...Nothing." He said as he got up, leaving the uneaten food on the table.

"Oi! Finish your food." She called out to him without looking but he ignored her, feeling annoyed she got up and was about to smack him but suddenly, he glared back at her, making her stop in her tracks, oh, the glare is nothing scary, she could still beat him to a pulp but the fact that he glares at her that is new.

"I'm not hungry, save that for Gramp." He said before walking back to his room without looking back at her.

She stares at his back, before sighing. "Is it that phase already? God, why do I have to deal with this? Right, he would start high school next year, he going on a hero course and his first choice is UA, isn't it? So of course he would be stressed. Guess I should held back my teasing a bit.

TREMIS

Furue manifests a quirk, a quirk far stronger than himself…Ono slumped back on his bed, his hand held up the phone, looking through the application of UA. 24th February is the day of the exam…before that, there was a writing test.

It is just 9 months…just 9 months away and he is still stuck at the basics, his quirk didn't get stronger. Everybody says he has a strong quirk and says that he would surely be a good hero, he admires All Might and wants to study at the same place as All Might…

But at this rate…he would never make it. His quirk is nothing but a simple strengthing, it is just that, simple and easy to use yet also powerful, but there is a condition.

He didn't know how to increase his power beyond what he knew of, with his quirk, he could crush metal easily but that was just it, that all…nothing more nothing less. And even then, he had a time limit of only 5 minutes on each activation and a 10-minute cooldown before his quirk could enhance him again.

That's not enough, and now…Furue, the girl who was meek and timid all her life, is getting a quirk far stronger than him…It feels frustrating, why wasn't he born with a quirk like that? Why did he have the weaker quirk? Why is she the one to get blessed?

Slamming his fist down on the bed, he looked through his contract, only to shut his phone down and decide to get to sleep, he would think about it tomorrow, that right, tomorrow.

Author's rant of the day.

I have been, writing a lot of chapters in preparation so that I could have the schedule to release them on but now I don't think that will work? guess I will just keep them released in schedule and see what happens, I already can't keep track of my other novel and now there is this one too. Sigh...how do people keep track of their work and organize their schedule?
