They didn’t visit.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN42JRS2Vmd
Once again, Fubuki and Tatsumaki withdrew into themselves, leaving Inko all alone while Izuku and Kiri were gone.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoCmXBQCon
It’s been years since the house has been so empty for so long. Despite that, Inko doesn’t try calling. She understands that the last crisis must have affected them more than usual.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcNervtsVb
So that leaves her alone to take care of the house, to try to relax. It was easier said than done.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEBezdPtx8
What if something happens on I-Island?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRBY0obw97
What if her babies don’t come back?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFjVthNwaM
How would she take it?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkddEgbLF8
How would her daughters?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mbTIXvBdz
These questions plagued her mind across the plain days while her children were gone.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gqxub2P9l
Eventually though, the time would come when she would see them again. Today was that day. The doorbell rang and the couch potato got up to see who it was.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTDYcBC5Qd
To her delight, it was Izuku and Kiri. But something was wrong. She couldn’t really put her finger on it, but her son felt… different.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vdny6uYyT
More mature?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uFWOieQlE
She didn’t know and didn’t care too much. She was just glad to see her kids and so quickly gave them a hug, one they gladly returned.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptro7JCMek
Izuku: “We’re home!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVs9LGxdW4
Kiri: “Home.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTEDl2YmEj
Inko: “Welcome back, both of you. I missed you so much. How was your trip?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVu78qwn9k
Izuku: “Enlightening.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB0VBi0v1H
Kiri: “Unexpected.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsrlmfX3Yq
Inko: “Really? Tell me all about it.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAadxUWQIof
And so they did, leaving nothing important out. The two didn’t want to leave their mother in the dark about their trip. Izuku didn’t explain his personal transformation in detail, but Inko got the idea. He’s stronger and more in control of his quirk.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl118JZfnmq
But despite the dangers her children faced, the thing that stood out was the obvious.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh4ZLq98yY
Inko: “You’re… dating two girls?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82nN4ZYRzD
Izuku: “Yeah, I couldn’t pick in the end.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzru5SvpSlb
Inko: “And you’re okay with this, Kiri?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUc81yP1GJ
Kiri: “… Nh. Wish was only one. But Udders isn’t… terrible to be with.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYzdu0LfGF
Inko: “Wow… you always find ways to surprise me, Izuku.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGfGOZIJC9
Izuku: “You accept it?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdXu3IFrEo
Inko: “Of course, sweetie. As long as you’re not taking advantage of Kiri and the other girl… ”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBSgPOtVh3
Izuku: “Never.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWsec06lyT
Inko: “Then I’m fine with it. Just know that taking care of one wife is hard enough; you’ll have to be extra strong to handle two.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYbnaf6MAU
Izuku: “Don’t worry, I can handle it.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cgbzm5y40
He says while taking Kiri’s hand and giving her a gentle squeeze.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn2FfCa8It
Izuku: “In fact, I’m ready to tell Tatsu and Fubuki. Did they visit you while we were gone? How are they?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KNW4mYsp7
It was then that Inko’s soft smile faltered.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivmP2U8NE8
Inko: “Well… they haven’t really visited… yet.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8cR990bIO
Izuku: “Oh… ”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzCNdpdK83
Kiri: “Still troubled?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ917yoOG4xH
Inko: “Yes, but I understand. They just… need time.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40lAkX8ZK5
Izuku: “Maybe… but they should have at least checked up on you. We’ll talk to them.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAMPVIAMo2
Inko: “N-No, you don’t have to do that.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9klkpS0teV
Kiri: “Want to help.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMBP874rjQ
Izuku: “Don’t worry, Mom. Before the day ends, we’ll be together for dinner. Things will be different; they won’t have to worry about me or Kiri again. I’m stronger now.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHTvMxZ5bq
There’s that feeling again. Something is different about her son. Whether it’s really a good thing, only time will tell.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yRsOsYDnj
Inko: “… Okay, but don’t force it if they really don’t have the time.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8v1QK3l2P
Izuku: “I promise.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqKbeGEFrM
Kiri: “Nh.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d5QfSH056
With that, they gave their mother another hug before setting off to get their siblings to come home.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcwWxcZB39
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3AUes9rmu
Again, the trail goes cold. After the incident at Hosu, Tatsumaki went out to find the man who almost took her brother away.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ddmvQhD0
But no matter what she did, nothing turned up. She would have gone insane if it wasn’t for the stress relief she got from killing quirk beasts and-
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzfGGBAhZG
Arashi: “You really should visit your mother.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvCvqp0Vbh
The man says while gently caressing the girl’s bare back while the two share the bed. Yes, the other way to relieve stress.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAKqdPQ6Lv
Tatsumaki: “Shut it, Arashi. I don’t want to think about that now. Besides… I’m sure she doesn’t want to see me.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlyHGTNcVI
Arashi: “I don’t know why you keep beating yourself up over what happened. It was an ambush; no one saw it coming.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMj7LJ94Pj
Tatsumaki: “Doesn’t make me feel any better.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp5O8w59RA
She was so close to losing both her sister and brother. Arashi may be sweet and good in bed, but he will never understand the burden she carries.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGzSsZCznU
Arashi: “Then check in with your mother. You may think she doesn’t want to see you but-”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCVqB6HIYC
Tatsumaki: “If she wanted to see me, she would’ve reached out like usual. But… she hasn’t. I get it.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMaDbisWBl
Tatsumaki: ‘She wouldn’t want to see the person who almost failed to save her children.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe429xW3nqb
Shaking her head from those depressing thoughts, Tatsumaki pushed herself up and wrapped her arms around Arashi’s neck.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPngNSTSuc
Tatsumaki: “Enough about that; I’m tired of thinking about it.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTBRuFztB7
The girl proceeds to lay her soft lips on his neck and shoulder blades, eliciting low rumbles from Arashi. Despite that, he keeps his hands to himself.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHZ9vMWHMM
Arashi: “I don’t think this is helping. Come on, Tornado, I don’t like seeing you like this.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw8VYpLZFR
Tatsumaki: “Just shut up and-”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEl8b5IytS
Just then, the doorbell rang. Arashi tried to remove himself from his… friend with benefits, but she held on.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFbkfSFMk6
Tatsumaki: “Ignore it.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXsKeifkcU
She says while lowering her kisses to his chest.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiOg3eTK2h
Arashi: “But it could be important. Maybe a lead?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoroOfr8aL
The girl stilled, and after a sigh, flopped back onto the bed.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaTPV3rJmt
Tatsumaki: “Doubt it, but go ahead. But if it’s nothing, you don’t get to complain about how tired you are afterwards. I’m not stopping.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPoowYJVTR
Arashi: “Haha, fine.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i9I19A0bB
He kisses her on the forehead before leaving to get dressed. It didn’t take too long for Arashi to return.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3EyJfIoDi
Tatsumaki: “Let me guess, it was nothing?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFuH7TY14T
Arashi: “Uh… no, your brother is here.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDqgY4emmg
Instantly, her eyes shot open, and she dashed to get dressed into anything presentable.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwqpxzFQTs
Tatsumaki: ‘How did he know I was here?! Did someone at the agency run their mouth?!’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0HZpirW61
Arashi knew exactly what she was thinking and secretly prayed for that poor soul.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweBgXlHMvk
Dressed in casual wear that doesn’t scream ‘I just rocked someone’s world’, Tatsumaki combed her hair and looked to Arashi.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK922LsGX5C
Tatsumaki: “Do I look presentable?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBsBsWAKoI
Arashi: “You look fine.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYjlu1c1Rh
Tatsumaki: “Damn it, that means I look horrible. Distract him!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubXNaBcHWN
Arashi: “How?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk75DauyPZI
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know; think of something!”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtQvawlaTc
Izuku: “Tatsu, I can hear you. It’s fine; I won’t judge.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLKMggj8Tt
The girl sighed and accepted her embarrassing fate.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxnuMhW7wp
Tatsumaki: “See you later, Arashi.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJE2jdxYVo
Arashi: “You too. Enjoy the time with your family, okay?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt1wBHv3ym
Tatsumaki: “Hmph.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U8DxiKIhd
Floating away from him and toward the front door, she opened it to see her brother standing at the ready. She didn’t notice anything different, not yet.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL6NGdNKHT
Tatsumaki: “Before you ask, no, we didn’t do anything. I’m just here because-”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kCxTvyKrJ
Before she could finish, Izuku silenced her with a hug.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto5WNXiV3J
Izuku: “You don’t have to explain; I understand. You don’t have to worry about me anymore, Tatsu; I’m stronger now. Come home. Mom misses you.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4h0k7cmRG
Tatsumaki: “What are you-”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBgPjnBSmO
It was then that she truly saw her brother; something had changed. He seemed more confident, more… powerful.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq626kdM5hk
Tatsumaki pushed him away and looked into his eyes, really looked at them.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwpgsWmXNV
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUJUAMChSU
Izuku: “I just came to terms with my quirk; I’m not scared anymore. So please, don’t push Mom away because of what happened, and join us for dinner.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzvp4nL0oF
She narrowed her eyes at that. But she can’t do anything about it right now. Besides, if Izu is stronger, that’s only a good thing, right?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm1ZRTgChx
Tatsumaki: “Alright, but I’m not pushing Mom away. I’ve just been busy.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODZyHzM9a8
Izuku: “Busy, huh?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2D13Zcejp
Izuku tried to peer around his sister, but she quickly held her arm out, preventing him from looking inside.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClXsTpMnU6
Tatsumaki: “A lapse of judgment. I’ll be back in the sky as soon as you leave.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIvVuFF2Dd
Izuku: “Like I said, I’m not judging. In fact, I’m happy. At least you’re getting rest. There are no bags under your eyes this time.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfE9JQrISt
Tatsumaki: “… I guess.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeKdNvHAgO
Doesn’t change the feeling of guilt eating at her even now. But she can tell her brother won’t leave if she doesn’t agree. So she starts to float away in the direction of their home.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWT3NRFGJ4
Tatsumaki: “Fine, but don’t be surprised if Mom doesn’t want to see me.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMu6RBN55s
Izuku: “Huh? Why wouldn’t she want to see you?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vJcKoxZZx
She looks back to the now airborne Izuku with an unreadable expression.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR1vG1B5Gp
Tatsumaki: ‘You should know why.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd3kqfuKxQ
The fact the person who hurt him is still breathing clean air is an insult to her and her family. How can she look into her mother’s eyes after that failure?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8bqImO9p8
She failed where Fubuki didn’t when that nomu creature attacked them. What use is a big sister who can’t protect her siblings?
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoLGkEUTrD
Tatsumaki: “Never mind, let’s just go. I assume Kiri is going to get Fubuki.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBChDI8RTM
Izuku: “Yeah.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnRxOsD54D
Tatsumaki: “Hm.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1cXUycIPL
Tatsumaki: ‘I wonder if that was a good idea.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkB4sSw4qn
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzMRNqpmKG
Burning frustration filled Fubuki’s veins as she failed again to enter the state she entered during the Hosu Incident. Before her sister saved her, again.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMf82NYvLV
Fubuki: ‘I was close to a breakthrough, I know it.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJzueBDKdE
But no matter how she pushed, she couldn’t grasp it. Worse, the atmosphere within her agency has been… icy.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKYw8eDdEI
Fubuki: ‘I can’t believe I said that to Mountain Ape… he was just trying to help. Just like I try to do for big sis.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTyzy8HdFn
But she pushed him away and told him to leave. Like he was some annoyance or burden.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbPPRuB3cn
Ashamed, she kept her distance from the Blizzard Group. But in return, she cut back on their workload. She learned her lesson; no more overwork.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK7bnFHLVM
No, the only one that deserves that is her.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD5BsmrQLl
Fubuki: ‘Train until I can’t anymore.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDJWTNtU52
So once again, she pushes her quirk to the limit in her large private training room within the agency.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q2fEZba6R
Fubuki: ‘I can’t fall behind.’
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeiWDbwvEr
Kiri: “Onee… ”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFAL6tPASS
The woman didn’t need to turn around to recognize that voice. She wiped the sweat from her brow and responded.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJkbQjQVgE
Fubuki: “You’re back from I-Island?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFENZlDUtfb
Kiri: “Nh. Are you… alright?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3TA3lir2q
Fubuki: “Yes, what do you want?”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ak04NjkW9
Kiri: “I… Okaasan wants us all for dinner. You didn’t visit.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS5bg77wfQ
Fubuki: “Busy.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYmlP336bz
Kiri: “… No… in pain.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVLe8tbsaE
Finally, the older sister turns to Kiri, who is staring at her with a mix of worry and determination.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS98l3Rtuve
Fubuki: “Right, you can read emotions or something, right? Well, stop it. You can’t help me.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qs6QQsUyB
Kiri: “But I want to.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorrUpScbPb
Fubuki: “Why? We’re not that close. You’re closer with Big Sis and Izu.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFezsC1EP0
Kiri: “You’re still family. Please, onee-”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJZpm4myQS
Fubuki: “I thought I said not to call me that.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab1ZFdRpXG
Kiri flinches from the increasingly cold tone of Fubuki’s voice. Despite not wanting to, the older sister does feel the sting of guilt. So she turns away.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReQr2U0I9G
Fubuki: “Just… leave me alone. I need to train more.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DG9tXZyjJ
When she didn’t hear any response, Fubuki thought Kiri left. But no, instead the little sister decided to take drastic measures.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGURyNed1FA
Kiri: “You feel inferior.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvjYOINE7S
The temperature drops sharply as Fubuki stills.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2EwjN7WP3
Kiri: “You feel… falling behind. That you’ll be… replaced… by me? Onee I-”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiof89C06Q
The sound of a whistle rockets past Kiri’s face. The next moment, she felt blood dripping down her face. Behind her, a needle was embedded in the white wall.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsrsL5ay24
Fubuki: “I changed my mind. You can stay. After all, I needed a training partner.”
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmXHPPrlcs
Fubuki’s psychic aura flares as she turns back around toward her little sister. Feelings she has tried hard to ignore, repress, or conquer start to leak out.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2jmFXSZ3q
If Kiri insisted on staying, the least she can do is withstand her frustrations.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ971VTMo0DF
As for Kiri, she took a breath and got into a fighting position. This is what she wanted. To help her big sister. If this is what is required, then so be it.
