"NANDA KORE?! " Inosuke points at his now empty plate. "Where did my food go?"
"Shut up! It's too early to be shouting Inosuke." Zenitsu retorded closing both l ears while munching on his breakfast Doriyaki.Tanjirou had finished eating along side Genya both washing their dishes. Inosuke's eye twitched.
"Monitsu..." Zenitsu cut him off.
"If you want me to share my breakfast with you then it's no." Inosuke grunted.
"Then what the hell happened to my food?"
"How should I know?" Zenitsu faced the boar only to be tackled and have his food stolen. Inosuke snickered victoriously running away while trying to eat as much as he can. Zenitsu gapped a frown settling on his face while a vein throbbing to pop. "Oh no ya don't." He jumped on Inosuke as they both began to mangle for food.
"Don't tell me we have to endure this all the time." Jirou looked on from the couch.
"They have been here for quite a while. So I'd say yes." Yaoyorozu hummed quite tired of their antics.
The two continued as Inosuke chowed on the last bit of food. He laughed knowing he had won much to Zenitsu's chagrin. He felt his body being lifted into the air. "Wha-? Put me down!" His command fell to deaf ears as he ran carrying the blonde outside. "Tanjirou! Genya! do something."
"Are you not going after them?" Satou asked Tanjirou.
"I'm sure they are alright." Que screaming from Zenitsu, Tanjirou put on a worried but strained smile "yeah... they are fine."
Kanao watched from the couches of the common room quite used to this happening. Not the first time and it certainly won't be the last. Her eyes strayed back to the rest of the girls who were talking about school and hero work. The boys weren't much either as most of them had planned their day or started their homework.
Ever since yesterday, Aizawa told the Hashiras to share the room with Tanjirou and the rest while of course her sister and Mitsuri were to stay with her and Nezuko. She couldn't help but pity her friends. They had to stay in the same room as Iguro and Shinazugawa.
"Kanao, would you like to come with us to go shopping?" Uraraka smiled.
"Yes. I'd love to." Kanao replied. Perhaps it would be a good time to get more comfortable clothing and one to train instead of her uniform all the time. Shinobu and Mitsuri might need some too.The girls had gotten permission to go from their teacher who came in dragging both Zenitsu and Inosuke from outside.

Presently, Kanao wore a pastel yellow shirt and black jeans while her butterfly accessory was still on her head. She was fitted in the common room waiting for the rest of the girls. Inosuke had fully succeeded in ruining Zenitsu's day. However, Satou promised him a second round after his lunch which made him feel better.
The Hashiras haven't stepped out of their rooms. I wonder why...
"Hm?" Kanao looked up to the boy standing next to her.
"Hey Kanao. I want to ask you something." Genya spoke. "Can I go with you and the girls?"
She blinked.
"Is that a yes or..."
She snapped out of her actions. "No, it's alright but what I don't understand is why?"
"You'd never stay so close to girls. Not to talk of hanging out with them." She continued as Genya scratched his cheek.
"The Hashiras are here and they don't have anything much to wear so I thought I'd go help get some from the mall."
So that's why.
"Sure, you can tag along."
"Thanks." He replied looking away.
"Are you good?"
"Hm?"
"You didn't stay yesterday to see the rest of the pillars arrive."
Genya stiffened and relaxed."I saw them when I woke up this morning. I'm fine by the way."
Kanao raised an eyebrow studying his expression. He's not telling the truth.
"I won't intrude if it's personal. But I've never for once thought of you as a stranger. Genya, you are my friend."
Genya gaped and smiled softly. "You're a good friend. Thanks."
"We're back!" Mina and the girls arrived in the common room all set. "C'mon Kanao, lets go."
Kanao stood up and whispered to them.
"Sure. We'd be happy if you could join us." Yaoyorozu smiled causing Genya to start thinking about his decisions. "Yes, Shoji also plans to tag along.He should be outside waiting for us." He sighed internally relieved he won't be the only guy.
Kanao grabbed her cell along as they made their way to the exit. She heard explosions and a few voices outside. Curiously, she peeped from a corner to witness Bakugo and Midoriya training while Tanjirou, Inosuke and Zenitsu were doing his training separately.
"Kanao!" Tanjirou yelled waving while jogging towards her. She straightened as he smiled "are you heading out?"
"Yeah, I'll be out with the girls, Genya and Shoji to the mall." Just then Bakugo and Midoriya stopped and took a break.
"Is that okay?" Midoriya asked.
"We got permission from Aizawa sensei."
"It's a good thing those demons only come out at night. Tell Genya I'll be expecting him once he gets back." Bakugo spoke drinking from a water bottle.
"Genya? That's new. He usually doesnt hang out with girls so much." Midoriya thought out loud.
"We need to get some stuff for the Hashiras."
"What are you? Their errand girl? Why can't they do it themselves." Bakugo frowned. He thought and slowly realized that they'd only attract attention. "Nevermind. Those guys are still in bed anyway."
Kanao smiled a little knowing the blonde realized. "Umm...Kanao." Tanjirou called out.
"Hm?"
"Where are the others?" She turned seeing that the rest left. She gaped and ran outside not without waving the boys goodbye.
.
.
.
.
.
"Woah." Genya and Kanao gaped at their surroundings. After taking a train at the subway, they arrived at their destination. It was only 4 kilometres away from school. The mall was crowded with people with different quirks. There was a huge lobby upfront where people could sit and a mini bar, various fast-food restaurants, stalls and shops. A group of kids and teenagers crowded a particular section on the second floor urging to move past the employees that were guarding the door. A music booth and even a concert prep group.
So much was happening leaving the students starry eyed all except one.
"Okay now, we're here." Yaoyorozu smiled at the group.
"And here is where we are not familiar with at all." Jirou looks around eyeing the music shop.
"Yeah, I've never been to this mall before." Hagakure awed fascinated at the number of things going on.
"That's because it's new and was recently launched a few weeks ago. I wanted us to try it out." Yaoyorozu scratched her head. "Perhaps we should have gone to the familiar ones like Kiyashi ward."
Mina pulled Momo "Don't sweat it. I'm sure it'll be fun. Right guys?"
"Though I'm not a fan of rowdy places. This could work." Shoji shrugged, Kanao and Genya nodding in agreement.
"We trust you Yaomomo." Uraraka reassured.
"Okay. We should split up and meet back at that lobby in front after an hour." Yaoyorozu pointed at the lobby. "I think that is enough time for us to do what we want."
"Yeah!"
Afterwards, they splitted into 3 groups.
*
In retrospect, Kanao supposed the last time she went to a mall was with Mr Aizawa and his colleagues. The differences were quite obvious to anyone. Her curious eyes darted from one section of the mall to another and it wasn't only her. Uraraka and Asui marveled at the sightings of the mall. To be honest, it made Uraraka feel weasy. Asui noticed and tried to comfort Uraaraka seeing the depressed aura hovering about her friend.
Kanao sweatdroppes at the scene behind her as Uraraka laid on her fours with her head down while Asui
reassures
her. The voice of a bunch of giggling girls catches their regard as they enter a dessert store bringing life to their eyes.
"Resist the temptation, Ochaco-san." Asui pulls her friend back whilst Kanao joining her. Uraraka nodded still struggling while Kanao wonders where she summoned this strength from.
Sakura Mochi...
Kanao had to admit she was tempted as well. Mitsuri had always thought of bringing some with her when visiting the butterfly mansion and she liked it ... Not as much as her at least. A bite won't hurt, right? Slowly, she loosened her grip leading the two girls to stumble forward.
"It won't hurt for a bite, would it?" She suggested.
"Don't tell me that Ochaco has rubbed off on you but I admit...i am in the mood for it now that you say that." Asui admitted with a finger placed on her chin while thinking about the wonderful desserts they have there.
"Spending on just a few mochi would surely satisfy us."
"Then what are we waiting for." Uraraka gently pushed the two into the store.
Dango, Taiyaki, Cheese cake...and they even have a sales on mochi today..how lucky for us.
Uraraka beamed looking at the varying shapes and sizes of desserts, her two friends awed beside her.
I wonder how they taste. I haven't eaten or seen this much. Kanao wondered as she pulls out a black credit card from her purse. Recalling what Nezu told her, the school will provide financial access to their needs too and handed her the card. They gave the each of them separately mong their group. She couldn't t understand why All Might and Aizawa were terrified of the idea but Nezu stated that it will be fine.
Thankfully with the help of All Might and the Class, She learnt how to handle it. The thing is how is she going to explain it to her superiors. She could handle the girls but Mitsuri would get so confused and no one wants to approach Sanemi and Iguro. Inosuke might have no problem but he doesn't even understand it fully or explaining the part.
She facepalmed internally shaking her head.
"Kanao, try this." Uraraka handed her a 'Ringo âme' candy apple.She remembers seeing people in the city trying this dessert once on a mission with her sister. Too bad they never got the chance to get some She grasped it from her and took a bite.
Kanao smiled a bit broader as her eyes shone in delight. Uraraka and Asui smiled as they continued to chat and eat. I wonder how the others are faring...

Genya walked calmly carrying a few bags of clothing and goods. He glances at Shoji who used his quirk to carry multiple bags.
"Are you sure you don't need any help? Your hands are...full." Genya began his eyes trailing to the hands feeling slightly guilty.
"I'm fine. Besides, yours are occupied also. It's natural for me to help." Shoji replied. Genya couldn't help but smile a bit.
"Hey! What about me?" Genya's head whipped to the left. "Oh..."
"What do you mean 'oh' Genya? You guys forgot I was here." Hagakure huffed while bringing her hands up to show her also carrying some bags.
Genya and Shoji silently exchanged looks before facing her with a neutral expression. "No, we didnt."
"You totally did!" She retorts.
"Sorry Hagakure, we were surprised when you decided to join us. We didn't expect any of the girls to tag along." Genya says
Hagakure sighs." It's fine. Actually about me joining you..."
*Flash back*
"So we split into three groups but what about Shoji and Genya? We won't be equal." Uraraka informed.
"How about we play rock paper scissors for it?" Mina suggested.
"But you are bad at it." Hagakure says.
"Nuh..uh..we both are terrible at it." Mina says pointing at her and Hagakure
"Then what is the point-?"
"Okay everyone says yes then."
After the game...
"Sorry Tooru..." Mina waves along with Jirou and Yaoyorozu. "I'll make it up to you. Promise."
*End of Flashback*
"You're joking?" Genya facepalmed but he immediately says. "Thanks anyway for helping us." Shoji nodded in appreciation.
Hagakure was about to voice out till her expressed his gratitudes. Well, I guess I should accept that. "You know Genya, you actually are good at talking to others. By the way Mina and I wanted to ask if you like Kanao?"
"Shut up! And no I don't. What is wrong with you two and stop bugging me and my friends personal lives!?" Genya grunted.
"Well, that means our ship still sails then." She mumbles excitedly.
"Hagakure, I think you and Mina are getting to caught up in this matchmaking thing." Shoji spoke trying to save the red Genya.
"Sorry, just curious and all..."
"Besides I think you and Oji_"
"Look, it's the lobby lets head there." Hagakure dashes over ignoring the weight of the bags.
"She's definitely hiding something." Genya sighs while Shoji nods. They walk to the lobby waiting for the others.
.

"Does being a hero tend to be quite bothersome for you two?" Kanao asks out of the blue.
"Not at all... I like helping people." Uraraka pauses not expecting Kanao of all people to start a converstion.
"So your reason for becoming a hero is because of..??"
"Actually, My main drive is my parents. So that when I start to earn money, they can live comfortable lives. Helping people also fuels me too." She continues then comes to a stop as Asui was about to speak. The two looked forward seeing a man, particularly an employee panicking in a clothing store.
"He seems shaken." Kanao mumbles as they strodde to his side. She saw two guards at the entrance both seemingly looking composed but one flinched a little on hearing the man panic while the other cursed and ran inside.
She blinked. His body didn't aligned at all. One with a broad chest like that shouldn't have so small arms. But she lives in a
absurd world where the abnormal was the norm...well at least according to her. Speaking of which she did see a short play today and to make it worse, she had a shell...defintely normal.
"Not..again. Not, no this is the third time this week." The man unaware of the girls continues to mutter to himself. This reminded them too much of their green haired friend at U.A.
"Excuse me sir, is anything wrong?" Uraraka called out snapping the man out of his train thoughts.
"Hm? Oh, I'm sorry. Things just haven't been going quite well for my workplace this week."
"Whatever happened has you all shaken up, Kero."
"You look familiar. Ah I see." He points at Uraraka. "You were that girl at the sport festival. So you three are heroes in training at U.A. it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Pleasure to meet you sir. So what happened?"
"Well you see, Someone has been robbing us unaware and this is the third time this week. Some one had stolen our very custom made jackets from our Sponsors in Europe. We were planning on exhibiting them for an event today but one of them got stolen."
"We'll help you."
"You will?"
"That's what heroes are for. We also have temporary hero licences so we are definitely obliged to go on."
"Thank you." He grabbed Uraraka's hand and began to shake it.
"We have 15 minutes left to spare before we meet up with the others. But I'm sure they'll understand if we come a bit late." Asui pulled out her phone and began to text to Momo.
The man named Hontarou led them in to the boutique as there were some employees panicking.
Kanao looked at the man. "Does your boss know?"
"He does. He is quite aware and even the security was placed but now everything is in chaos." He clutched his head with a panicked expression.
"When was the last time the robber struck today?"
"If I could remember it was 13:09"
"It's 14:02 now. It was almost an hour ago." Uraraka glanced ar her watch. She thought cautiously. "Are you still exhibiting today?"
"We had too but now it seems we might as well cancel it..."
"It all seems strange to me. I mean with the heavy secueity and camera here it would still be a bit tasking. Several employees and even a detection bar at the entrance for stolen goods." Asui pointed out. Kanao glances at the boutique carefully. Some employees were discussing about the matter, A few police officers were at the scene also seemingly investigating while others were continuing their work. "I mean there are even officers here. Could it be a quirk? or they are just good at it?"
"Ah..." Uraraka ruffled her head "I'm no detective but it is a possibility. Not all robbery could involve the use of quirks.
" What do you think Kanao? " Asui faced the girl.
Kanao wasn't paying attention to her. Her eyes were settled on a perfect blue coat with a golden embroidery in a glass case. It was probably one of the important things for exhibition today. She shifted a bit allowing the guard next to her to pass, he walked past her to the other security men and officers.
"Kanao?"
"Yes."
"You were lost for a second there. We think that the person after this might have_"
A yell broke out from the security men and officers that were discussing causing all eyes to turn in that direction. Two guards were on the run.
One was behind the other as he was trying to pull and reach out to him. The one in front threw everything and pushed people out of his way to get through as he was heading for the exit.
"Stop him!" The one behind yelled out. Hontarou squeaked as he was tossed aside like he was nothing. The pursued and pursued continued this act as officers and guards ran after them.
"Ochaco-san"
"Yeah. Let's stop him Kana_"
Kanao didn't let her finished as she dashed forward at the two hoping to stop him.
"Out of my way!" He extended his right hand to grab and toss her away but she simply evades it and leaps planting a kick on both of the men faces.
Everyone gaped at her.
"Kanao, why did you do that?" Uraraka and Asui ran to her side.
"Ah my nose." The pursued bled painfully.
"Why did you kick me?" The pursuer stood up angrily clutching his nose." Did you have bad eyesight or something? " Hontarou came to the guard's side.
"Please calm down sir. I'm sure she didn't mean it." Hountarou sweats nervously coming between the two while the police officers surrounded them.
"I did." Uraraka and Asui thought they didn't here well.
"What?"
"I said I did mean it and I'll do it again." She narrows her eyes at him.
"Listen girl_"
"Are you actually a worker here?" The man flinches.
"Hontarou-san, He's the thief."
To be continued...
Taisho secret
* Zenitsu was responsible for Inosuke's food disappearance.
*Momo, Jirou and Mina were on the 2nd floor all this time.
Preview
"You know its high time we girls got our chance to shine." Mina says.
"We've been neglected this whole time." Hagakure agrees.
"I wonder what is keeping Uraraka, Asui and Kanao this long. Should we check up on them?" Shoji inquires.
"Let's give them time." Yaoyorozu concludes.
"They are probably at a dessert store due to Uraraka's obsession for Sakura Mochi" Jirou snorts laying her back on the lounge chair.
At that moment, Genya imagines the three girls with Mitsuri's hair and makes a neutral expression.
"Next Chapter 29: A Master thief"
"Who are you talking to?"
Author here: Sorry for the false update. I realized that I might have published it by mistake instead of saving it and I didn't realize till like a few hours later. I hope you will enjoy the story. Please vote and feel free to comment. Tell me what you think about the story so far.

"NANDA KORE?! " Inosuke points at his now empty plate. "Where did my food go?"
"Shut up! It's too early to be shouting Inosuke." Zenitsu retorded closing both l ears while munching on his breakfast Doriyaki.Tanjirou had finished eating along side Genya both washing their dishes. Inosuke's eye twitched.
"Monitsu..." Zenitsu cut him off.
"If you want me to share my breakfast with you then it's no." Inosuke grunted.
"Then what the hell happened to my food?"
"How should I know?" Zenitsu faced the boar only to be tackled and have his food stolen. Inosuke snickered victoriously running away while trying to eat as much as he can. Zenitsu gapped a frown settling on his face while a vein throbbing to pop. "Oh no ya don't." He jumped on Inosuke as they both began to mangle for food.
"Don't tell me we have to endure this all the time." Jirou looked on from the couch.
"They have been here for quite a while. So I'd say yes." Yaoyorozu hummed quite tired of their antics.
The two continued as Inosuke chowed on the last bit of food. He laughed knowing he had won much to Zenitsu's chagrin. He felt his body being lifted into the air. "Wha-? Put me down!" His command fell to deaf ears as he ran carrying the blonde outside. "Tanjirou! Genya! do something."
"Are you not going after them?" Satou asked Tanjirou.
"I'm sure they are alright." Que screaming from Zenitsu, Tanjirou put on a worried but strained smile "yeah... they are fine."
Kanao watched from the couches of the common room quite used to this happening. Not the first time and it certainly won't be the last. Her eyes strayed back to the rest of the girls who were talking about school and hero work. The boys weren't much either as most of them had planned their day or started their homework.
Ever since yesterday, Aizawa told the Hashiras to share the room with Tanjirou and the rest while of course her sister and Mitsuri were to stay with her and Nezuko. She couldn't help but pity her friends. They had to stay in the same room as Iguro and Shinazugawa.
"Kanao, would you like to come with us to go shopping?" Uraraka smiled.
"Yes. I'd love to." Kanao replied. Perhaps it would be a good time to get more comfortable clothing and one to train instead of her uniform all the time. Shinobu and Mitsuri might need some too.The girls had gotten permission to go from their teacher who came in dragging both Zenitsu and Inosuke from outside.

Presently, Kanao wore a pastel yellow shirt and black jeans while her butterfly accessory was still on her head. She was fitted in the common room waiting for the rest of the girls. Inosuke had fully succeeded in ruining Zenitsu's day. However, Satou promised him a second round after his lunch which made him feel better.
The Hashiras haven't stepped out of their rooms. I wonder why...
"Hm?" Kanao looked up to the boy standing next to her.
"Hey Kanao. I want to ask you something." Genya spoke. "Can I go with you and the girls?"
She blinked.
"Is that a yes or..."
She snapped out of her actions. "No, it's alright but what I don't understand is why?"
"You'd never stay so close to girls. Not to talk of hanging out with them." She continued as Genya scratched his cheek.
"The Hashiras are here and they don't have anything much to wear so I thought I'd go help get some from the mall."
So that's why.
"Sure, you can tag along."
"Thanks." He replied looking away.
"Are you good?"
"Hm?"
"You didn't stay yesterday to see the rest of the pillars arrive."
Genya stiffened and relaxed."I saw them when I woke up this morning. I'm fine by the way."
Kanao raised an eyebrow studying his expression. He's not telling the truth.
"I won't intrude if it's personal. But I've never for once thought of you as a stranger. Genya, you are my friend."
Genya gaped and smiled softly. "You're a good friend. Thanks."
"We're back!" Mina and the girls arrived in the common room all set. "C'mon Kanao, lets go."
Kanao stood up and whispered to them.
"Sure. We'd be happy if you could join us." Yaoyorozu smiled causing Genya to start thinking about his decisions. "Yes, Shoji also plans to tag along.He should be outside waiting for us." He sighed internally relieved he won't be the only guy.
Kanao grabbed her cell along as they made their way to the exit. She heard explosions and a few voices outside. Curiously, she peeped from a corner to witness Bakugo and Midoriya training while Tanjirou, Inosuke and Zenitsu were doing his training separately.
"Kanao!" Tanjirou yelled waving while jogging towards her. She straightened as he smiled "are you heading out?"
"Yeah, I'll be out with the girls, Genya and Shoji to the mall." Just then Bakugo and Midoriya stopped and took a break.
"Is that okay?" Midoriya asked.
"We got permission from Aizawa sensei."
"It's a good thing those demons only come out at night. Tell Genya I'll be expecting him once he gets back." Bakugo spoke drinking from a water bottle.
"Genya? That's new. He usually doesnt hang out with girls so much." Midoriya thought out loud.
"We need to get some stuff for the Hashiras."
"What are you? Their errand girl? Why can't they do it themselves." Bakugo frowned. He thought and slowly realized that they'd only attract attention. "Nevermind. Those guys are still in bed anyway."
Kanao smiled a little knowing the blonde realized. "Umm...Kanao." Tanjirou called out.
"Hm?"
"Where are the others?" She turned seeing that the rest left. She gaped and ran outside not without waving the boys goodbye.

"Woah." Genya and Kanao gaped at their surroundings. After taking a train at the subway, they arrived at their destination. It was only 4 kilometres away from school. The mall was crowded with people with different quirks. There was a huge lobby upfront where people could sit and a mini bar, various fast-food restaurants, stalls and shops. A group of kids and teenagers crowded a particular section on the second floor urging to move past the employees that were guarding the door. A music booth and even a concert prep group.
So much was happening leaving the students starry eyed all except one.
"Okay now, we're here." Yaoyorozu smiled at the group.
"And here is where we are not familiar with at all." Jirou looks around eyeing the music shop.
"Yeah, I've never been to this mall before." Hagakure awed fascinated at the number of things going on.
"That's because it's new and was recently launched a few weeks ago. I wanted us to try it out." Yaoyorozu scratched her head. "Perhaps we should have gone to the familiar ones like Kiyashi ward."
Mina pulled Momo "Don't sweat it. I'm sure it'll be fun. Right guys?"
"Though I'm not a fan of rowdy places. This could work." Shoji shrugged, Kanao and Genya nodding in agreement.
"We trust you Yaomomo." Uraraka reassured.
"Okay. We should split up and meet back at that lobby in front after an hour." Yaoyorozu pointed at the lobby. "I think that is enough time for us to do what we want."
"Yeah!"
Afterwards, they splitted into 3 groups.

Kanao smiled a bit broader as her eyes shone in delight. Uraraka and Asui smiled as they continued to chat and eat. I wonder how the others are faring...

Genya walked calmly carrying a few bags of clothing and goods. He glances at Shoji who used his quirk to carry multiple bags.
"Are you sure you don't need any help? Your hands are...full." Genya began his eyes trailing to the hands feeling slightly guilty.
"I'm fine. Besides, yours are occupied also. It's natural for me to help." Shoji replied. Genya couldn't help but smile a bit.
"Hey! What about me?" Genya's head whipped to the left. "Oh..."
"What do you mean 'oh' Genya? You guys forgot I was here." Hagakure huffed while bringing her hands up to show her also carrying some bags.
Genya and Shoji silently exchanged looks before facing her with a neutral expression. "No, we didnt."
"You totally did!" She retorts.
"Sorry Hagakure, we were surprised when you decided to join us. We didn't expect any of the girls to tag along." Genya says
Hagakure sighs." It's fine. Actually about me joining you..."
*Flash back*
"So we split into three groups but what about Shoji and Genya? We won't be equal." Uraraka informed.
"How about we play rock paper scissors for it?" Mina suggested.
"But you are bad at it." Hagakure says.
"Nuh..uh..we both are terrible at it." Mina says pointing at her and Hagakure
"Then what is the point-?"
"Okay everyone says yes then."
After the game...
"Sorry Tooru..." Mina waves along with Jirou and Yaoyorozu. "I'll make it up to you. Promise."
*End of Flashback*
"You're joking?" Genya facepalmed but he immediately says. "Thanks anyway for helping us." Shoji nodded in appreciation.
Hagakure was about to voice out till her expressed his gratitudes. Well, I guess I should accept that. "You know Genya, you actually are good at talking to others. By the way Mina and I wanted to ask if you like Kanao?"
"Shut up! And no I don't. What is wrong with you two and stop bugging me and my friends personal lives!?" Genya grunted.

"Hagakure, I think you and Mina are getting to caught up in this matchmaking thing." Shoji spoke trying to save the red Genya.
"Sorry, just curious and all..."
"Besides I think you and Oji_"
"Look, it's the lobby lets head there." Hagakure dashes over ignoring the weight of the bags.
"She's definitely hiding something." Genya sighs while Shoji nods. They walk to the lobby waiting for the others.

"Does being a hero tend to be quite bothersome for you two?" Kanao asks out of the blue.
"Not at all... I like helping people." Uraraka pauses not expecting Kanao of all people to start a converstion.
"So your reason for becoming a hero is because of..??"
"Actually, My main drive is my parents. So that when I start to earn money, they can live comfortable lives. Helping people also fuels me too." She continues then comes to a stop as Asui was about to speak. The two looked forward seeing a man, particularly an employee panicking in a clothing store.
"He seems shaken." Kanao mumbles as they strodde to his side. She saw two guards at the entrance both seemingly looking composed but one flinched a little on hearing the man panic while the other cursed and ran inside.
She blinked. His body didn't aligned at all. One with a broad chest like that shouldn't have so small arms. But she lives in a
absurd world where the abnormal was the norm...well at least according to her. Speaking of which she did see a short play today and to make it worse, she had a shell...defintely normal.
"Not..again. Not, no this is the third time this week." The man unaware of the girls continues to mutter to himself. This reminded them too much of their green haired friend at U.A.
"Excuse me sir, is anything wrong?" Uraraka called out snapping the man out of his train thoughts.
"Hm? Oh, I'm sorry. Things just haven't been going quite well for my workplace this week."
"Whatever happened has you all shaken up, Kero."
"You look familiar. Ah I see." He points at Uraraka. "You were that girl at the sport festival. So you three are heroes in training at U.A. it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Pleasure to meet you sir. So what happened?"
"Well you see, Someone has been robbing us unaware and this is the third time this week. Some one had stolen our very custom made jackets from our Sponsors in Europe. We were planning on exhibiting them for an event today but one of them got stolen."
"We'll help you."
"You will?"
"That's what heroes are for. We also have temporary hero licences so we are definitely obliged to go on."
"Thank you." He grabbed Uraraka's hand and began to shake it.
"We have 15 minutes left to spare before we meet up with the others. But I'm sure they'll understand if we come a bit late." Asui pulled out her phone and began to text to Momo.
The man named Hontarou led them in to the boutique as there were some employees panicking.
Kanao looked at the man. "Does your boss know?"
"He does. He is quite aware and even the security was placed but now everything is in chaos." He clutched his head with a panicked expression.
"When was the last time the robber struck today?"
"If I could remember it was 13:09"
"It's 14:02 now. It was almost an hour ago." Uraraka glanced ar her watch. She thought cautiously. "Are you still exhibiting today?"
"We had too but now it seems we might as well cancel it..."
"It all seems strange to me. I mean with the heavy secueity and camera here it would still be a bit tasking. Several employees and even a detection bar at the entrance for stolen goods." Asui pointed out. Kanao glances at the boutique carefully. Some employees were discussing about the matter, A few police officers were at the scene also seemingly investigating while others were continuing their work. "I mean there are even officers here. Could it be a quirk? or they are just good at it?"
"Ah..." Uraraka ruffled her head "I'm no detective but it is a possibility. Not all robbery could involve the use of quirks.
" What do you think Kanao? " Asui faced the girl.
Kanao wasn't paying attention to her. Her eyes were settled on a perfect blue coat with a golden embroidery in a glass case. It was probably one of the important things for exhibition today. She shifted a bit allowing the guard next to her to pass, he walked past her to the other security men and officers.
"Kanao?"
"Yes."
"You were lost for a second there. We think that the person after this might have_"
A yell broke out from the security men and officers that were discussing causing all eyes to turn in that direction. Two guards were on the run.
One was behind the other as he was trying to pull and reach out to him. The one in front threw everything and pushed people out of his way to get through as he was heading for the exit.
"Stop him!" The one behind yelled out. Hontarou squeaked as he was tossed aside like he was nothing. The pursued and pursued continued this act as officers and guards ran after them.
"Ochaco-san"
"Yeah. Let's stop him Kana_"
Kanao didn't let her finished as she dashed forward at the two hoping to stop him.
"Out of my way!" He extended his right hand to grab and toss her away but she simply evades it and leaps planting a kick on both of the men faces.
Everyone gaped at her.
"Kanao, why did you do that?" Uraraka and Asui ran to her side.
"Ah my nose." The pursued bled painfully.
"Why did you kick me?" The pursuer stood up angrily clutching his nose." Did you have bad eyesight or something? " Hontarou came to the guard's side.
"Please calm down sir. I'm sure she didn't mean it." Hountarou sweats nervously coming between the two while the police officers surrounded them.
"I did." Uraraka and Asui thought they didn't here well.
"What?"
"I said I did mean it and I'll do it again." She narrows her eyes at him.
"Listen girl_"
"Are you actually a worker here?" The man flinches.
"Hontarou-san, He's the thief."
To be continued...

"You know its high time we girls got our chance to shine." Mina says.
"We've been neglected this whole time." Hagakure agrees.
"I wonder what is keeping Uraraka, Asui and Kanao this long. Should we check up on them?" Shoji inquires.
"Let's give them time." Yaoyorozu concludes.
"They are probably at a dessert store due to Uraraka's obsession for Sakura Mochi" Jirou snorts laying her back on the lounge chair.
At that moment, Genya imagines the three girls with Mitsuri's hair and makes a neutral expression.
"Next Chapter 29:Kanao goes shopping 2 "
"Who are you talking to?"
