Here it is, the eighty-third full chapter of Miraculous Quirks released on the set day that I promised each week. The School Festival arc is now in full swing as we continue the preparations for it, which includes a special visitor of course so it is time for many to meet her at last. That is all the administrative stuff I have for now though and as there are no review questions to answer or guest reviews to respond to I will end this note here. Do keep the reviews coming as I enjoy hearing from y'all. Now, though, it is time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the 83rd full chapter of Miraculous Quirks.

Disclaimer: I do not own either of these great works of fiction.

Chapter 83: A Little Visitor

It was a few days after the finalization of the concert as Class 1-A's School Festival event and as it was a Saturday, so Bakugo and Todoroki didn't their remedial course today and thus the whole class was knuckling down to really get the performance perfect. Jiro already had the song written and the music ready for it, so the band group was practicing inside the dorm. Right now, they were just trying to get the timing down, understand the song, and enable for Jiro to teach Kaminari what he needed to learn to be one of the guitarists.

It would have to be intensive to ensure that the worst of their group was brought up to speed, and that Tokoyami refreshed his skills and learned how to deal with the F cord, but at least all but Kaminari knew how to properly read music. Adrien too needed a bit of practice to prepare but he'd already sorted out a keyboard for his room courtesy of the special bag Mage had provided when they moved in and was back to his old level on the piano, or there about, in no time.

The one thing the band didn't know about, well other than one of them that is, was Jiro's other plan. She'd spoken to Marinette about it, and it had gone better than Jiro had hoped for as everything fit into what she had in mind when she'd spoken to the French girl.

The rest though had been up to Marinette to sort out, Jiro couldn't do more until the girl was ready and with her schedule it was hectic though for some reason Marinette seemed to be ok with it. That was because Marinette was used to dealing with an intensely hectic schedule and minimal sleep so she could just about manage all her responsibilities for the School Festival.

Meanwhile the four in the backstage group were sitting around one of the tables in the common area busily discussing the effects and what to do. Some ideas had already been shot down like the Uraraka making Todoroki and Kirishima float idea mainly because it wasn't practical seeing as the gym had catwalks near the ceiling that made things easier. Other ideas were working such as the birds because Koda could easily get them, and how to mix Sero's tape with Todoroki's ice so that he had some sense of control to craft it similar to how he'd crafted that slide for the kids using the things their Quirks made.

Meanwhile, Kirishima was mainly in charge of the heavy lifting and breaking ice but there was an issue. They'd realized a potential problem and Koda had come up with a great idea to rectify it. As it was part of the performance side and not the music side they needed to run by the dance team but, well, they needed an extra person to manage it and their deductions pointed to only one person able to manage it. They'd have to chat more, figure out how it would work in practice and then discuss things with Mina.

Lastly, Mina herself was outside with the dance crew using the greater space in the walkup to the dorm to choreograph her squad and teach them what they needed to know. Some were already good, mainly those with more training in maneuverability and agility like Marinette, Tsu and Ojiro though either their Quirks or in Marinette's case her enhanced constitution were the reasons for their skills. Others needed some more practice, though the more robotic nature of Ida's movements in general, which got more pronounced when he danced, was something that Mina could actually work with.

The one who was struggling the most though was Midoriya. He wasn't loose enough yet. He was too rigid when he needed to be precise but flexible in his dancing and not lock up for his, well, lock moves. It was a little different to what he, and many, were used to but Mina would mold them into acceptable dancers by the end of it as they continued to work hard on their moves. The main goal for the moment was to get them able to work together and dance fluidly in general. Once Mina knew how the song sounded she'd tailor the dancing more to the song, they just needed the basics first.

As the dance crew was working, none of them initially noticed Mirio Togata crouching behind a bush next to the pathway from the road the dorms were on to their dorm. He was waiting for the right moment to come in and deliver a joke that would be perfect just as Sir would have wanted.

The reason why Togata was here was simple, today was the day that Eri would be shown around U.A.'s campus. They'd managed to get permission for her come to the School Festival, but Nezu wanted the girl to visit first to get used to the school and see the prep work so that she was comfortable when the School Festival rolled around. Aizawa agreed and as he was effectively her guardian now due to being the only one able to contain Eri's Quirk he'd brought her and Togata to Class 1-A's dorm today before her tour as they needed to pick up Midoriya for it, it was his idea to invite her to the festival after all.

Eri had clearly bonded somewhat with Midoriya and Togata, though with her age she could only really refer to them by their hero names, thanks to how they'd been the key two in first encountering her, driving the mission to save her and giving her the courage to let them rescue her. They were like a pair of protective big brothers to her, so they were essential to this and helping Eri adjust to the real world.

There was one more reason why Eri was coming, however. It had been decided that after the festival she'd be discharged to the care of U.A.'s staff and move into the teacher's dorm. That was the best place for her as the U.A. staff would keep her safe, Aizawa could control her Quirk if she lost control again, and they could even begin training her as there was no better place to train a Quirk in Japan, especially one like Eri's, than U.A. As such, this trip and the School Festival would help her get used to her eventual new home.

At the moment, however, she and Aizawa were staring in confusion at Togata's plan. Eri for her part was still a shy and overwhelmed little girl, years of abuse and isolation from society would do that to a kid, so she was just confused while Aizawa was just bored with this. He wasn't one to go for this kinda stuff, but he just had to let it be. Besides, it was clear that Togata wasn't being as sneaky as he would have liked as all of Class 1-A's dance team noticed him sculking there.

"Hey Togata." Izuku said waving at the third year to get his attention. "What brings you here?"

Togata was not impressed by this, so he suddenly dove into the bush before sticking his ass out of it. After what he'd gone through during the raid what with losing his Quirk and all he was taking a leave of absence from U.A. so he'd be Eri's primary carer as the others didn't have the time to do so. It was an odd site that got a ribbit from Tsu but then Eri walked forward and all of them forgot about Togata.

Eri looked positively adorable as she stood on the path looking a little confused as she looked at Deku, he was the only one there she knew. Still, she was here and immediately the center of attention for the kids in Class 1-A.

The young girl was wearing a simple white blouse under a red dress with a pleated skirt, black tights, and brown boots. The only accessory she had was a small red purse on her left hip and attached to a strap over her right shoulder that she was clutching in her hands with a flower pin on it. Her waist length silver hair flowed freely down, and the snub of her horn was just visible on her forehead over her right eye. The only thing ruining the scene was Togata's ass hanged out of the bush next to her.

Other than her slightly shocked and confused expression, and the remains of the sadness and trauma she carried showing in her red eyes that Izuku was going to make it his mission to get rid of by making her smile during the festival, she looked like an adorable 6-year-old and not the girl they'd rescued. It really filled all those present from the raid with pride that they rescued her, though Izuku had told them all that Eri wasn't to know about Nighteye just yet, and hope for her to have a normal life. This was the start of giving her that once they dealt with whatever lame attempt at a joke Togata had for them.

"Eri." Tsu, Ochaco and Marinette said happy to finally meet the girl they'd help rescue.

"Hey guys." Togata said from the bush moving his ass as he spoke. "I brought a peach for ya."

The joke, as expected, absolutely failed because, well, it was terrible, and everyone was busy holding back from fawning over Eri as Aizawa began to walk up to join them before standing behind the bush containing Togata with his usual bored expression on his face. She looked great and they were curious as to who had chosen that outfit for her, it couldn't have been Aizawa so who? It was the nurse on duty at the hospital who'd chosen the outfit as she'd Aizawa's idea had been more cute cat centric outfit terrible and went with something more appropriate for the little girl.

"Eri." Izuku said as he hurried to greet the little girl, Tsu, Ochaco and Marinette leading the charge at a respectful pace while the others followed. "It's good to see you out of the hospital."

"Hi Deku." Eri said to the only one she recognized in a soft, quiet voice that Marinette realized was the first time she'd heard her speak, it was shy and timid but really fit the girl well.

"Wait, don't tell me that you have a secret kid Mr. Aizawa." Ojiro asked a little confused as to why a young girl was suddenly here.

"That dress looks great on you." Tsu said her finger on her chin as she looked at the girl.

"You are precious!" Ochaco said excited to finally meet Eri and thrilled she was looking so good after her ordeal. "So cute."

"Adorable." Marinette said with a smile. "And the style fits you perfectly."

"Midoriya." Aizawa said ignoring Ojiro's comment and addressing problem child number 1 as Togata came out of the bush annoyed his joke had failed. "We final got permission from the principal. He felt that this was a good idea but because of, well, you know, there is a worry the experience will overwhelm her if it is her first exposure to U.A. So, in order to avoid any additional stress, we're letting Eri explore the school before the festival so she can get used to it."

"I understand, that makes sense." Izuku said with a nod. "It will be rather busy during the festival."

"Well, hello there." Ida said approaching as the rest of the class present finally figured out who the girl was, including Ojiro who was just glad Aizawa seemed to forget his own comment. "You must be Eri from the work study, it's very nice to meet you. I'm Ida."

"Mineta, her there." Mineta said, even Eri was taller than him but that didn't stop him from being inappropriate in his own way that ensure a serious punishment later from Mina and Marinette. "Man, you're going to be a looker when you grow up, aren't you?"

That got glares from the rest of the class as Eri did her usual thing and suddenly hid behind Togata. She was clearly a little overwhelmed already so bringing her here before the festival was definitely a good idea given how busy the festival itself would be.

"Oh right." Togata said. "Eri's kinda shy with new people."

"That's perfectly ok." Ida said understanding right away, this was going to be good training for hero work when he one day saved people like Eri, and he was determined to make Eri feel comfortable and welcome with them. "Everyone please, back off and be respectful."

"Well then, let's start the tour." Togata said with a smile to Eri, they were going to give it, but they needed Midoriya for it as his presence would help as well as the class listened to Ida and took a few steps back. "I want to show her as much of the school as I can, so she knows what we do here. You want to come too Midoriya?"

"Yes." Izuku said with a smile and that clearly helped Eri as she wanted Deku with them as well for it.

"Dance team, we have a new idea for you." Kirishima said suddenly said, interpreting them as he opened the door with Koda by his side and came out to run their latest idea by them, well mainly Mina but he noticed Eri there and was instantly distracted. "Huh? It's Eri! Oh wait, we were never introduced, were we?"

"Ok break time for tea." Mina said excitedly seeing the situation already devolving so now was as good a time as ever to take a break, and punish Mineta for that comment. "Let's head back inside and let the raid team stay for a moment."

The others nodded and all but Izuku, Kirishima, Marinette, Tsu and Ochaco stayed outside. Aizawa understood this and allowed it for the moment as it would be good for both the kids and Eri to properly meet.

"Right, introductions are in order." Togata said. "Eri, these nice kids are Deku's classmates, and all played a part in rescuing you. Let's see, guys I'm going to use your hero names as it is easier for her to understand and say them at the moment. So, the spikey haired boy is Red Riot but you can call him Red, the brunette is Uravity, the green haired girl is Froppy, and the one with pigtails is Ladybug. I think you recall the last one a little from the raid."

"You do?" Marinette asked as her babysitter mode kicked in and she looked at Eri with a smile before getting down on one knee before her to look her in the eye and help her feel comfortable as she spoke softly to the still timid girl. "You saw me when we came for you?"

"I, I don't think so." Eri said a little confused but feeling a bit more comfortable with this girl than the others, other than Deku and Lemillion, as she could look her in her bright blue eyes. "Um, you have a funny sounding voice miss. I think I'd remember that."

"Ah well that's because I'm not Japanese so this isn't my native language hence why I must have a funny sounding voice, that's my native language coming through." Marinette said smiling, it was a fair question to ask as her French accent was clear in her Japanese even if her Japanese was fluent thanks to Mage. "I'm not actually from Japan but I came here with another classmate to study at U.A. because of how amazing it is here. I'm sure Deku and Lemillion will show you that today when you see our wonderful school."

"Eri, it is a little rude to mention someone's accent like that." Togata said impressed at how well Dupain-Cheng was handling the girl while the others looked on with similar looks of shock and respect for their classmate, Marinette just kept surprising them. "Some people have reasons for a slightly different accent."

"It's ok, I'm not from here and Eri's a curious kid who's never heard it before, so I don't mind." Marinette said. "Eri, I'm from France in Europe, though my mother is Chinese so I'm what you'd call mixed race not that that matters. My native language is French so that is the accent you're hearing. I learned Japanese to come here though."

"Oh." Eri said, most of that was going over her head and Togata knew he'd have to explain a little bit about it later. "Um, so you can speak another language. Lemillion said I'd have to learn something called English at some point but that isn't what you said you speak, right?"

"I can speak English, it is a useful language to know, but my native tongue is French." Marinette said before thinking more and realizing how she could help Eri understand it better. "Here, I'll show you, so you can see. Tu es adorable dans cette robe, elle te va parfaitement."

Eri just blinked in confusion at that. The nice girl before her had suddenly switched to a clearly different language and judging by the confusion on Deku's face he didn't understand it as well, but it sounded quite pretty to her and fit the older girl's voice much better than her Japanese had.

"What did you say?" Eri asked curiously.

"That you look adorable in that dress, it suits you perfectly." Marinette said with a smile as she switched back to Japanese. "I don't usually speak French though, I'm here in Japan so I should stick to the native language."

"Oh, thank you." Eri said.

"Eri." Izuku said butting in to help out. "Du…I mean Ladybug here was the one you saw with the dragon lady, the one in that red mechanical suit with black spots all over it. Ladybugs are bugs with a red shell and black spots hence Ladybug's name."

"Oh, you were the other one I remember then." Eri said recalling the few things she could make out before Deku finally beat Overhaul, mainly the larger heroes who'd helped her and the tall man with glasses who clearly cared for Lemillion as well. "The one who turned into a machine and flew. I, um, didn't think you'd look like that."

"I didn't so much turn into a machine the way Ryukyu can turn into a dragon, so much as I made it around my body." Marinette said as the others just nodded, Marinette's normal appearance was, well, not the kind you'd associate with what she could actually do with her Quirk. "But it is similar I guess."

"Huh?" Eri asked.

"Ok, you know how Deku is really strong and Lemillion can go through walls and such." Marinette said putting it in terms that the little girl would probably understand and Eri nodded at that thus confirming it to Marinette. "Well, my power is that I can make whatever I need to accomplish my goal, in that case it was something strong enough to protect and save you. The item isn't permanent though and, um, it might be unwise to show that one off now."

"Oh." Eri said trying to understand it but the nuances were hard for her, Lucky Charm wasn't exactly the easiest Quirk to explain to a 6-year-old like Eri.

"What Ladybug is saying is that she has the power to create what is needed to protect people." Togata said. "She's very strong and determined, we all were."

"Yeah, I helped ensure that the others could reach you." Kirishima said.

"And we were part of the team that ensure Deku and Lemillion could enter to begin with, as well as helping out at the end." Ochaco added.

"Ribbit." Tsu said with a nod. "I was the one who brought Eraser Head to you so that it was all ended."

"Oh, well thank you." Eri said surprised at all the people who'd helped her but grateful that they had.

"Your welcome Eri." Marinette said with a smile before looking up to see Aizawa just looking at them clearly ready to get the tour started. "But we should get back to work, we need to make this the best show as possible so that you can really enjoy it. Go with Deku and Lemillion and see the school."

"Ok." Eri said as Marinette rose.

"Midoriya, get changed into your school uniform and meet us at Class 3-B's dorm as Togata needs to change as well." Aizawa said though he had been surprised at how well Dupain-Cheng had handled Eri, the girl clearly had some experience with little kids so she might be able to help Togata out by giving him pointers as he didn't trust the rest of the staff to be useful there. "Be quick so that Eri can see as much of the school as possible."

"Sir." Deku said with a nod before Aizawa, Eri, and Togata left with Eri holding adorably onto the hem of Togata's shirt the way a little sister would when with a big brother.

"She's adorable." Marinette said as Midoriya hurried to change so she was addressing Tsu, Ochaco, and Kirishima. "Seeing her normal is what being a hero is all about, really shows us the good we do in the world. Now we just need to see her smile."

"I can't wait for that so let's make this the best show for her and the whole school." Kirishima said pumped even more after seeing Eri as they all headed back to the dorm for the break before more work. "We can't let her down."

"We won't." Ochaco said just as pumped as Kirishima was to make the show great.

"Marinette, you were rather talented with Eri, ribbit." Tsu said a finger on her chin as she looked at the French girl. "Do you have a little sister? I have a little brother and sister, so it was a bit like how I'd treat them."

"No, I'm an only child but I used to do babysitting back in Paris and my best friend back home has twin younger sisters as well." Marinette said already planning on how to help out with Eri when she had the time, mainly advice and maybe making some Deku and Lemillion dolls for her to play with. "One of my family's clients has a 5-year-old girl who I look after at times when she's busy while also helping my friend out with her sisters, so I know how to handle them. Eri's 6 if I recall so basically the same age."

"Oh, that makes sense." Tsu said understanding more, most of the class didn't really talk about their families so she had to ask. "You'll be able to advise Togata then."

"I intend to, he'll need to know how to handle her but she already sees him as a brother so that will help a lot." Marinette said as they entered, and she saw Mineta trying to get away from Toru who was ready to punish him for his inappropriate comment to Eri while Mina and Sato made the tea for them all. "But first, I think it's long overdue that we gave Mineta one of these. I'll do it so it's only temporary, but we can always ask Momo for a more permanent one if he keeps it up."

With that Marinette held out her hand and a flash of pink sparkled in the air above it before an item dropped into her palm. Marinette's goal this time was something to punish Mineta whenever he said anything inappropriate and the item in question was a small collar with a little box on it that hummed ever so slightly.

Marinette looked at it and her vision grayed so that she saw the collar flash and then Mineta's neck and then the small box on the collar and Mineta's voice box at the same time. She grinned; this was perfect for the little gremlin.

"Mineta, you perv, you can't say that stuff to a little girl." Toru was yelling as he was running around away from her and not looking so that Marinette was able to step in front of him and he ran into her, bouncing off her legs and onto his back. "Ha, we got you now."

"So true Toru so let's adjust that attitude a little." Marinette said as she reached down, grabbed Mineta by the shirt and hauled him off the ground to slap the collar on him as instructed before he could do anything. "Hopefully, he isn't a masochist."

"What did you do to me?" Mineta wailed as he tried and failed to get the collar off as Marinette dropped him on his ass, stepped over him, and went to grab some of the tea that had been made. "I like a little pain, it enhances the pleasure sure, but not…yeow."

As he was speaking about something perverted he was suddenly zapped by the collar, just enough to cause pain and show that he shouldn't do say inappropriate things. Hopefully half an hour or so with that one would help teach him though knowing him it would only pervert him further.

"I put a shock collar on you." Marinette said simply, not looking at him as she spoke. "It's set to trigger every time you try to say something perverted, a nice little shock to keep you in line. Don't worry, I made it with my Quirk so it will only last about 30 to 40 minutes, that's about how long my Quirk can stay active at the moment for such a small item."

"Damn girl, at last we've got something for him." Mina said giving Marinette a high five before handing her a cup of tea, a French blend that Marinette provided as she preferred it to the Japanese ones and which some of the others had taken to enjoying, especially with the pastries Marinette baked for the class. "That will really teach him not to speak his perverted thoughts out loud."

"Let's hope he listens and doesn't develop a kink for it." Marinette said as she took a sip of the tea. "Now what was Kirishima's idea? Didn't he have one for the dance team."

"Right, Kirishima, what was your idea?" Mina called out as Mineta spasmed again trying to say something.

"Well, we realized that Aoyama just turning into a disco ball wouldn't be enough to full rev up the crowd." Kirishima said. "It will be great in the moment but then the whole shock value of it will fade if we don't add to it."

"Yeah it will be effective for a second or two, but we need to keep the crowd going which is part of why he's turning into a disco ball in the first place." Sero said.

"It is true, I will be ze center of attention." Aoyama said. "I must twinkle for all to see."

"But just standing on stage or even tossing him up for a moment won't work." Todoroki said. "So, we came up with a new idea."

"Well, Koda did, tell them man." Sero said. "It was your idea after all, you deserve the credit for it."

"Right, well, um, I figured that rather than have Aoyama light up on stage, we should put a rope on Aoyama and swing him around as he does his thing so that he's above everyone and constantly moving at the same time." Koda said a little nervous talking to so many of the class, but it was his idea, so he pushed on. "We have the walkways above so if someone strong enough holds the rope he or she can run around there during the big climax with the ice and tape and birds and swing Aoyama around so his lasers will look extra great with all that stuff."

"Plus, with all the light we figured Hagakure could really bend it and shine on stage as well." Kirishima said.

"Oui, it will be magnifique." Aoyama said striking a pose. "I shall dazzle all."

"Oh, that is a good idea." Mina said excitedly as Toru nodded in agreement though they could only tell from her clothes. "Toru will look great and with Aoyama swinging around he'll really get people going during the height of the song. I can picture it now; I just need to hear the music to choreograph it."

"There's just one slight issue." Kirishima said bringing them all back to reality. "We can't pull it off with just the four of us. I'm the only one strong enough to manage such a feat and I can only do so when I'm hard, but I needed to run along and dispatch all the precut ice that we're using to really add to the bigger ice effect. Todoroki and Sero need to work together their part so we can't even use Sero's tape and only Koda can control the birds."

"Ah so that is an issue." Mina said thinking. "What do you need to pull it off?"

"Someone in the class with a power type Quirk or the raw strength to pull it off." Kirishima said. "And that's the next issue we've encountered. Adrien is in the band so he can't do it, Sato's got the whole drawback when he uses his Quirk, and Dupain-Cheng, well…"

"No one from my harem will…" Mineta began before he was cut off by another zap that sent him spasming to the ground.

"Not that I mind it." Marinette said. "But it is best if we keep all girls on the stage and if I get access to my yo-yo I can really aid in the final spectacular, maybe even use Lucky Charm if I time it right."

"Exactly." Kirishima said. "Which only leaves Midoriya as able to manage it."

"Ah." Tsu said.

"He'll want to be in the dance for Eri." Ochaco said nervously. "And all the practice that Deku has already done will be wasted."

"True but this is necessary and will help." Kirishima said.

"Then we talk to him and work it out." Mina said simply. "But for now, he's with Eri and Togata so let's get some more practice in before meeting up with him."

The others nodded and finished up their tea before getting back to practice or prep. Hopefully Midoriya took the change in plans well.

-break-

In the end Mina was a little too harsh at first with how she phrased the change when they approached him in the classroom after Eri's tour, though why she was in a full black suit no one knew, and even Mina realized that. She tried to change it up, but it was still a bit of an issue as Midoriya had told Eri he'd be in the dance part, and she was clearly looking forward to it.

While the dance and backstage teams had been discussing this and doing some more training, Izuku had been with Togata and Eri, the latter holding the former's blazer hem, and showing her around the school so that she got a feel for it. They made sure that she saw as much of it as possible as well.

First they'd taken her to see Hado and Amajiki, which was rather awkward for Izuku because Hado was prepping for the beauty pageant in a dress with a plunging neckline that really showed off her spectacular assets but in a tasteful way unlike the sexy way that they'd apparently tried the year before, but which was still embarrassing for Izuku. Apparently this was a School Festival tradition and Hado was up against a fellow third year in the Support Course who had won the last two in a row, so it was their last matchup and one that Hado was determined to win.

They'd come to see the other members of the Big 3 first because they were Togata's friends and helped in the raid. Eri found Hado beautiful while the pageant was explained by her helper, another girl from Class 3-A as was allowed and Amajiki was just part of it, which made Eri interested in it at least so they made sure to add the pageant to Eri's must see list after the concert. Thankfully, the pageant was scheduled after the concert so Eri could see both.

Izuku was curious as to why none of their class was in it, he didn't know that Aizawa had not told them deliberately because of Mineta and to not distract them as the girls in the pageant would be too busy to partake in their respective classes events. All this was compounded more when they ran into Tetsutetsu and some others in Class 1-B who were moving a giant fake dragon's head and he told them that Kendo was in it.

Apparently Monoma had put her up to it but because of the busyness of it she and Yanagi, her assistant, couldn't be in their amazing play which was basically a mash up of various pre-Quirk stories that had been lost due to the Quirk Wars so only fragments remained for Class B to create something from. Again, Monoma was behind it all and tried to goad them in claiming that their play would be better that Class A's concert before Awase hit him in the head with a two by four to knock him out.

They didn't have Kendo who usually kept him in check so they made do with what they could use and then drag him to Recovery Girl afterwards. Izuku and Togata took that as their cue to move Eri along to see the support class.

There they ran into a grimy and smelly Hatsume who apparently wasn't sleeping or bathing as she worked on her latest creation, while also invading Izuku's personal space with her latest support item for him. at least she now knew his name which showed some progress given her usual lack of remembering people.

They tried to tell her to bath and sleep but she wasn't having any of it, apparently the School Festival was her next test in her recruitment to one of the most prestigious global support item companies who'd be sending their Japanese rep to the festival to see so it had to be perfect. Of course, said item caught fire spontaneously, again apparently, so they ushered Eri out as it got unsafe though Eri was just confused by what was going on in the Design Studio.

The last people they saw before they took a break for lunch was some of the third year Business Course students that knew Togata and thought Eri was his kid hence why he was taking time off which caused some amusement, but they resolved it quickly. Class 3-I was doing some business lecture that they should drop in on but neither felt that Eri would like that but kept it in mind just in case.

After that they took her to the cafeteria for lunch. There she was still shy and nervous but a few words from Nezu himself, who was eating a large amount of cheese with Midnight on the same table, again helped. It was also where Izuku said he'd be dancing so Eri could watch him on stage which helped as well because it gave her something to really look forward to.

Clearly she was excited for it but with her past she was still shy and nervous about the whole thing. Izuku guessed they'd have to wait until she saw it to know how she was doing so he swore to make it the best show possible so as to put a smile on Eri's face as Togata led Eri back to Aizawa so they could return to the hospital and Izuku went to his classroom to sort something out.

That was where he'd heard about the change which was hard to deal with because he had made Eri a promise after all. Thankfully, they did come to a compromise in which Izuku would dance at the start before Aoyama became a disco ball at which time he'd leave the stage to help out. That way his training wasn't wasted, Eri got to see him dance, and they waited for the right moment to unleash the flying disco ball that was Aoyama.

All in all, it had been a good day and they were all exhausted when they retired to the dorm for the night. There Momo made her favorite tea, the fancy Gold Tips Imperial that her mother had sent in and as usual forgot how upper class she was, but everyone wanted to try it. Again, Izuku was the only one not involved but more because he'd learned during his evening training with All Might that his mentor had once used support items but with his power he could only use them at about 30% of his power or else they'd break, and they were too bulky apparently which showed how far items had come since then.

All this came from Hatsume accidentally barging into their evening training with one of her babies and giving Izuku his new item that she'd made during her time off because of course she had, though apparently she already had a base for it, so it didn't take her too long to sort out. He was worried that the pink haired girl would notice the situation, but she was as single minded as ever so when her drone thing flew off she went and Izuku learned about All Might's support items.

That had caused him to obsessively check the most popular video website, the one they used for finding the concert idea, to find it as it was something about All Might that he'd not known about before. He was so obsessive with it that he didn't notice Ochaco coming up to him to get him to join in the tea that Momo had provided.

Her distraction caused him to accidentally click on a random video which was of a cup of tea being expertly poured and discussed by some posh sounding man. It was an odd video for sure, but it helped remind Izuku of the tea, so he closed his laptop and joined the others as they all enjoyed the team and discussed the day.

It had been a long one but a productive one and as they were all sipping tea and chatting, well those present as some like Bakugo were already in bed, Jiro approached Marinette. She'd been busy all day with the band, and it was going well but she needed to see how things were going on Marinette's front as they had to work on that soon.

"Marinette, is it ready?" Jiro asked quietly so that no one else would notice, not that they would as many were listening to Momo's excited rant about how exquisite the tea was or were already washing up their cups and heading to bed.

"It is." Marinette said with a smile. "I have the sheets now; we can begin the recording tonight to get it right then it's just editing and practice. This time next week we'll be ready."

"Good, it won't require as much work, so we'll have the time to get it right." Jiro said happy that Marinette had sorted it all out and looking forward to preparing it. "We can start tonight in one of the unused rooms on the 2nd floor."

"Agreed." Marinette said as she finished her tea. "I still don't know how it will sound so bring a selection and we'll hash it out to see which is best for it. We won't be overheard there."

Jiro nodded as she too finished her tea, washed her cup, and headed back to her dorm. This was part of her secondary idea, and it was all going well. Soon she'd know more and then they could move to the next stage. Yup, everything was progressing smoothly for Class 1-A's performance and soon the last piece would be in place as the School Festival drew ever closer.

Ah another little tease to end this chapter but don't worry the bulk of it will be answered next chapter. This one was mainly to set up Eri's impending visit, get her to meet some more of the class, show Marinette's first interaction with her, and what not. That and to finally punish Mineta for that comment which he more than deserves though I feel like a shock collar is not enough for that little gremlin. Other than that there really isn't much more to say about this chapter, though the note about the nurse choosing Eri's outfit because Aizawa has terrible fashion sense when it comes to choosing an outfit for a young girl does come from the 4th School Briefs book so I didn't just make that up, and as such it is time to end this chapter here. As always, if you like it or have any questions please let me know in reviews or PMs, I will try to answer them as best I could and post any questions asked between uploads at the start of the next chapter and do follow and favorite this, so you are alerted to future uploads. Do keep the reviews coming as I like hearing from y'all as you enjoy my work, it motivates me to keep producing the best work I can for y'all to enjoy. Until next time.
