The first steps of unfolding love.
Mineta returned to the Kudou household. Yurie was just cleaning the hallway.
"I'm back." he said with a smile on his face. He still had the impression of pranking Kaya. "How's Miyo?"
"Hi, Mineta. She is not well. Since the incident she has been in her room.
"Then I'll talk to her. Kudou went a little overboard with this morning."
"Fact, he's always been like this. He has never trusted anyone and is therefore practically unable to make friends." Yurie shaking her head after her sentence.
"Then it is timely to learn to be unnecessary for this degree of seclusion." he said and headed towards Miyo's bedroom.
When he got there, he coughed softly. No reaction.
"Can I go in?" he asked a little louder.
"Yes" Miyo replied barely audibly. Opening it, he saw that she had completely cried out her eyes. Yurie didn't lie about the condition.
"I'd like to talk with you."
"You must be telling Kudou to throw me out of the apartment." she whispers of resignation.
"No offense, but why would he do that?"
"Because I'm useless."
"Nobody said that."
"That is the truth. Since my mother died, my family has treated me like garbage."
"If you want, you can tell me." Mineta said and sat down beside her. Carefully stroked her side. He tried to give herself as positive as possible. This also changed as Miyo started telling her life. Her mother died when she was little. Her father, Shinichi married another woman without showing the slightest sign of grief. After the Gift was tested and found out, she have no psychic powers, she was locked in the basement. Then she was not only taken into a slave, but they was spoke to her as if she were a dead weight. Kaya and his stepmother Kanoko submitted to physical and mental torture. Mineta grabbed her arm before Miyo hugged.
"And now they've even shuffled the marriage order and they want me dead." she whispered and broke out in another cry. He was completely felt his pain. His parents also left him when he found out he was suffering from dwarf and did not inherit their Quirks. Has been raised in an orphanage ever since.
"If that is the case, they were cold. Kudou is not evil, but distrustful. But he loves you."
"Then he wouldn't have treated me like that."
"It was similar in my case. Suddenly, I teleported him to his yard and the first thing he did was slice me up. Then when I clarified the situation, he already treated me very well. It is true that I am a servant but the point is unchanged."
Miyo was very hard to calm down and sat up.
"You are really a great person, just as Yurie." Miyo was grateful and completely bowed, but Mineta soon stopped it.
"There is no need for that, because I'm gonna blush." he laugh.
"Is Kudou really in love with me?" she asked with a little hope.
"I'm sure. I snuck into his car and lectured him. I know it's forbidden, but if that's the only way to open his eyes, then so be it. I have nothing to lose, which is why I bluffed about marrying you. He's blushing at this, so he's really going to fall in love with you slowly. However, I follow a secret to a secret. You told the story of your life, I can tell you how I got here."
"I'm happy to hear it." Miyo said with a smile on her face. Mineta started to explain large lines of his own time and how he got into the past. She looked at him completely incredulously, but she increasingly believed this strange story.
"I know what I'm saying is bizarre, like I'm just making it up." he finished his explaining with this sentence.
"I can easily believe it. After all, I have never seen such a strange hairstyle in my life."
"By the way, who did they want to add to originally?"
"Tatsuishi Kouji. You must not know him, but he was the only person who was not treated as garbage."
He almost immediately knew who she was talking about. He met him and Kaya recently.
"Oh my god! At the moment, I can't decide who was a bigger suction. To you or that unfortunate Kouji?"
"Ahm... I don't know."
"Seriously. What crime did he commit to be married to this witch?"
Miyo laughed softly at this. Mineta was happy to cheer her up a little. Although unsurprisingly at this point, he somehow felt it was his goal to bring Kudou and Miyo together. He continued.
"I mean, I don't mean to hurt your family, but Shakespeare didn't write a disaster as big as your sister."
Yurie listened the whole converstation to the room's door.
"You're a real gentleman, my young assistant." she said to herself with a smile.
In the evening, Kudou returned home. Miyo was already waiting at the entrance, bowing.
"Welcome home, Kudou. I'm sorry to you had to disappoint me this morning."
"Only apologize, if you mean it." he said.
"I understand. From here on Yurie will make the food if you wish."
"The truth is, I got hungry. Do you still have breakfast?"
"No, but I made dinner. If you like..."
"I would ask for it nicely."
Kudou then went to the dining room. Miyo served dinner shortly afterwards. Mineta watched the events nearby. He hoped it would not end up in the same mess as breakfast. Fortunately, that didn't happen.
"It's delicious." he said after the first bite.
"Thank you kindly." Miyo answered after a bow.
"From now on, you will prepare the food with Yurie. And now go to rest."
"I understand. Good Night, Kudou."
"You too."
Miyo got up and left the dining room. Outside, she already spotted Mineta raising his hand to high five. At first she didn't understand what he wanted, but she got that and gently hit his palm. As soon as she went into her room, Kudou's voice filtered out of the dining room.
"I know you are there, Mineta and listening. I have a speech with you."
Without saying a word, he went in and sat down against him.
"I admit that you were right about the fact that I was very rejected. Miyo is really very diligent and kind -hearted. I apologize from you too."
"It's okay. I told you, but luckily you soon realized, that I was right. This is now the most important thing."
"But speaking of falling over the other side of a horse, I heard you crossed the line when you met Saimori Kaya."
"With that egocentric wench, it's not hard." he noted, when Kudou raised his hand with the aim of stopping.
"I believe it didn't matter much in your day, but you can't mess with a daughter of a noble family here. For now, I've smoothed it out, but I'm gonna ask you not to do that again."
"Okay, boss." Mineta said, but smile after that. "I have a question. Does it matter if she stumbles at a banana and slips into my knife about twelve times, while I eating my sausages?"
He smiled at this, but remembered one more thing about it.
"I can't turn a blind eye to another detail."
"What is it?"
"Kaya complained to her parents that you tossed something sticky at her footwear that made it stuck to the ground and torn it all when she wanted to step."
"If I get paid, she gets his godforsaken wooden shoes." he sighted.
"I didn't mention that. Is that sticky thing of your work?"
"Yep, that's my Quirk." he pointed his head. "These are adhesive balls that seize every surface. I can take it off a lot without risk. However, when I cross the limit, my head will bleed."
"This is a very strange ability. At least explain this something in your hair. But very good nonetheless."
Mineta laughed and then wished Kudou good night. No one praised his Quirk.
Returning to the present, Ashido reported the state of affairs to her classmates and Aizawa. The two guys were skeptical. It was even suggested that she had a dream, since she had not slept properly for days. Their teacher was not so skeptical.
"It makes perfect sense. Our opponent was pretty bizarre. Even though I've been in the hero business for so long, it felt amazingly alien and terrifying. In addition, he was completely absorbed while pleading with his master."
"It also explains Mineta's disappearance." Ashido said enthusiastically. She was glad someone believed her at first.
"I'm still saying the doc is a fucking brat! There is no time travel at all!" Bakugo shouted, but Kirishima didn't want to take his side either.
"Then can you give you any other explanation that Mineta has disappeared from the face of the earth in an eye?"
"I am afraid that this from the current scientific point of view cannot be explained." Aizawa grumbled. He hasn't slept since the disappearance of him. "Ever since quirks appeared, science has been behind in certain perspectives."
"That's fine, but the doc said it takes a lot of energy to open the time machine properly." Kirishima said, and Ashido pulled out a note. In the evening, he even remembered the formula inscribed on the board.
"Yes. And I already know what. Mixing of bizinterium and carbonadium with high heat. This is a very dangerous process but the core fission from it involves enormous energy release."
"Then the old man is fucking crazy!"
"Bakugo is right." Aizawa nodded. "It was not without reason banned at the first attempts. It's very unstable and it's going too fast. Because of this, energy cells broke in record time. There is only one error slipping into the machine and the explosion from it brings the entire I- island to the fate of Atlantis. Also, it also fell out a full Japanese power grid."
"However, there is no other choice." Kirishima said, but Bakugo didn't want to stand rope.
"Why do we even have to save him if we don't even know he's still alive?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's okay, I'll tell you. Let's say, that he really stuck in 1905..."
"That's right. We have caught the sign of his mobile." Ashido interrupted.
"then you caught your lips closed and don't interrupt me!" he reacted by shouting, but then continued in a grumpier voice. "What if he's already dead, but his cellphone remains intact?"
"We need to be sure and continue experimenting."
"Of course, the only price is to sink an island and push Japan to stone age levels."
Aizawa coughed.
"You're right, but you forgot something. A real hero never leaves his partner. I believe the risk is too high, but in the reverse case Mineta would not hesitate to save you."
At this point, Bakugo had to admit he had run out of counter -arguments.
"Okay, you win. Let's do this. But if we die, I'm gonna kill you."
This made it clear that the time machine had to be built. This was the most dangerous decision of their lives.
The days went and turned into weeks. Kudou's behavior was noticeable. He was now a bit more positive to Miyo. She was also in a slightly better mood now and her health improved. Mineta was most pleased with this, but he did not forget what he had entrusted himself with. Investigate the Saimori family. Kudou even gave him extra help in the form of documents. In addition, he tried to catch the rumors, when he went shopping instead of Yurie. He told Kudou the results Friday night. They sat on the terrace, where the light of the full moon was projected on them.
"Well, I didn't exactly get good results." he started and took a sip of sake.
"Tell me." Kudou nodded.
"I'll start in descending order. Saimori Shiniji by the people is just called "A stingy cockblock". It is true, that he will make a fortune as large as the servants and farmers in two years, but he will not return a single yen of it."
"there is nothing surprising in this. After all, he does not earn much, but spends little. That's why is rich."
"Makes sense to me." Mineta noted it and poured herself another sake. "However, what Miyo once told me is true. He had no emotions other than greed and his own family's title. Let's say this is true for all three of them."
"That's enough about it. Continue with the others."
"I thought you were interested in the juicier part. None of the shopkeepers have a good opinion of Kanoko. Touchy, cocky and cranky. On one occasion, she overturned one of a vegetable stalls in the market. All because the seller did not want to give the coconut for 200 yen for her. He insisted that it was a very expensive export item. Moreover... I do not know. What this annual picnic among the nobles is?"
"Sheer luxury. Noble families try to get over each other with this." Kudou replied disgusted.
"Bad memories?"
"We used to go there with my family all the time as kids. I don't want to go into detail, but suffice it to say, I've been avoiding it like cholera for ten years. But what are you getting at?"
"The main thing is that for this Miyo was not taken for a single occasion, only Kaya appeared. Kanoko referred to illness, but when they wanted to ask for details, the minimum is that she slapped the person. Of course, only if he or she was lower on the social ladder, otherwise she was trying to divert the subject. In addition, she treated her serving staff like a used washcloth. When Miyo was locked in the basement, one of the servant, Hana, spoke out against her. Take a guess how it ended?"
"She fired her." Kudou growled, and for half a minute it seemed that he was about to break the sake cup with his own hands. But he managed to calm himself down and put it down. "And what about Kaya?"
"This is the most beautiful. I mean, in the negative sense of the word."
Mineta stopped at what he had to say. He stood up and leaned on the railing. His head was a little dented by the booze, which caused his emotions to become extreme. This is what he tried to restrain.
"Would it be that bad?"
"Bad?" he asked backed loudly. "Combine all the bad qualities of the two bullshit faces and you get this slut as a fucked up end result!" he answered and hit the railing. Kudou didn't see him so angry. "The most cocky, spoiled, and Miyo got most of her wounds from her. I'd love to have one of my glue balls cut into her face right now so that her teeth fly up into her nonexistent brain. What the fuck do she think herself? This goddess who's a billion times better than she dare to hurt? if she was the last woman on earth, I'd rather be gay! You know what? I am already going to their mansion and burning it to fucking ashes!"
"Calm down, Mineta." Kudou reacted and sat him down on the ground. He had to calm down somehow. "I understand what you're getting at. you did a great job, but leave it to me."
Mineta let him to sit him down, but continued to speak.
"Do you know why I support you and Miyo getting married?"
"Don't talk about the Saimori... Why?" he asked surprised. He was not prepared to suddenly change the subject.
"Because I know you two are meant to be together. I can always sense that. You may be noble, but deep down you have a big heart. How do I know? Because you took in a discarded loser like me as a friend. And this goddess deserves the happiness she can get from you. As a student hero, I didn't set myself any goals before, but now I have. I want to get you two together. and I will protect Miyo with my own hands! even if my life is at stake!"
Kudou blushed at this. Mineta could barely keep his eyes open as he was already properly drunk. But he went on.
"What Miyo and I have in common is that we've been fucked hard by life. Of course, by the family. Only I am an orphan because my parents..."
he didn't even finish his sentence when he fell asleep. Kudou tried to shake him up, but he stopped. He slowly picked it up and walked to his room. It was very strange to see Mineta behave in this way. He is usually smiling, always joking and happy to take any job. This became a 180 degree turn from booze. Did his real emotions come out? When he layed down in his futon, he decided that from now on he would not receive a drop of booze. That's better for everyone.
In the morning, Mineta woke up with a headache as if they had cut a concrete block on his head. Went to the kitchen where Miyo was just making breakfast.
"Morning." he grumbled and dipped his head in the cold water bucket.
"You too, Mineta. Are you alright?" she asked anxiously, looking up from the fish for half a minute. When his head came out, he gasped.
"I'm hung over. Kudou offered me sake yesterday while we were talking and I drank too much."
Miyo did not answer this, she just wiped the his face with a towel.
"Thanks." he smiled in gratitude. "I forgot I don't like booze. The last time I really got drunk... that not end well."
"What happened?" she asked curiously as she continued cooking.
"I went to some show and had a drink before. Well, the performance initially consisted of a man singing it, "Give me the key.". To this a girl answered as well as singing, "I ain't give it to you." I listened to this for ten minutes, and then I yelled this. "Give him the fucking key and let that goddamn show begin!" This is why I was banned from the theater."
Miyo laughed and then took the fish off the plate. Then she put the next one in the pan.
"I hope you did not do the thing for Kudou to took out of the apartment yesterday."
"Nothing like that happened." he said with a smile. "Rather, I swore one thing. I wouldn't really be drunk, but I'm doing this sober now."
With both hands he grabbed her left hand and squeezed slightly.
"I promise I will do everything in my power to make sure that you and Kudou get married. Also, to promote your physical and mental strengthening. Therefore, if necessary, I will sacrifice my life."
Miyo's face turned completely red. She couldn't even speak, she just put the pan aside and hugged him.
"Thank you. I feel like I've made a true friend."
"I'll be here for you no matter what." Mineta muttered. Deep down, he was really happy. but someone coughed. It was Kudou, who watched them. He must have been up recently.
"Am I disturbing something?"
They both jumped up and bowed quickly.
"Good morning."
"You too." He returned with a smile, then went inside and squatted down to Mineta. He trembled like jelly. "I'm saying only one thing at the moment."
"And what is it?"
A pause ensued. Miyo was terrified that he thought they were romancing here. However, to her surprise, he smiled and pinched Mineta's face.
"You will not get a single sip of booze."
He laughed and scratched his head.
"Oh well. Went out of my head to I get drunk very easily."
Miyo returned to cooking. If Kudou is up, it is not worth waiting for the breakfast.
This was not the first surprise of the day. During breakfast, Kudou askeHe was excited.
"Well, well. I can also see this side of yours." Mineta noted.
"Of course I am. I never went with a girl anywhere else."
"First serious date?"
"What is date?"
"I'm sure there's an equivalent this timeline. When a man and a woman go somewhere to get to know each other."
"Oh. In this case, yes."
"So far, no designated wife has come here?"
"Only one, but that doesn't end well."
Mineta thought a little. He wanted to help, but here he was completely clueless.
The thing is, I've never been with a woman, except the teacher at the zoo and on a class trip. However, I do know some abandoned parts of the city where you can get a closer look at Miyo's body..."
He could say so far, because pervert nonsense! Especially not when I want to give happiness to a girl who didn't really know that feeling until now."
Yurie opened into the room.
"Master Kudou! Miyo is waiting outside."
"I get it. However, I am still at a loss. What do I need to do to make Miyo stronger?"
"The answer to this is simple. You give her as much happiness as possible." she answered to which Mineta nodded approvingly.
"Yes. Since then she will know that someone is holding her back for it."
"Okay. I'm off."
"Good luck, master Kudou." both said, bowing as they headed for the exit. Mineta got up and stretched.
"Then I'll keep working. Yurie! You can give me a new job."
The city was only a little more busy than average. Miyo was just as fascinated by the sight and tranquility as Mineta. No wonder he stopped to admire the shops. Kudou, who noticed nobody walking past him, looked back.
"Enjoying the atmosphere?"
"I'm sorry for the stop." she muttered.
"No problem. Feel free to look around." he said and walked back beside her. "I also love this place and the silence that comes from it. So I won't be scloded if you do that."
"I never had the opportunity to walk outside the apartment. I know I'm just a hump on the..."
At this, Kudou stroked her head.
"As I said, no problem. Furthermore, I do not want to hear such nonsensical statements. I invited you in the first place." he coughed and continued. "You can come out whenever you want, just carry this."
Kudou pulled out a good luck charm, which actually corresponded to a protective shell. Anyone who wants to attack the wearer will receive a pushback of the same power. Miyo was surprised by his kindness. She took it and put it away.
"Thank you." she bowed.
"You're welcome. Let's go shopping. Of course, if you have no objection to it."
"Okay."
The stores offered their more quality products in a row. The selection was also colorful from the kimonos to the children's toys. To Kudou this caused the biggest headache. What he buy to Miyo as a gift? He needs something that will make her really happy. Then, he remembered what Mineta said about her. Namely, her kimono was brand-new when she came here. So they went to the nearest clothing store. Despite the onlookers at the shop window, there was no one inside except Maya, the owner. It is quite logical that it is considered one of the most expensive stores.
"Well, Mr. Kudou. What a pretty girl you got yourself." said the owner with a bow and a smile. They both blushed.
"Good afternoon, ma'am. I would like to buy a new kimono."
"Naturally. Come with me."
"If that's okay, I'd like to look around." Miyo mumbled, by the time Kudou smiled.
"Okay." he said and went to the samples with the owner and then sat down.
"I knew one day you'd find the perfect wife." she chuckled and looked around at what would be ideal for Miyo.
"This is not the case yet."
"If memory serves right, this is the first time I see you in the company of a pretty girl."
"I didn't come here to boast with her." Kudou remarked with a red head as his eyes caught the cherry blossomed patterned kimono. "Only that girl has only one kimono in total. I want it to be even more beautiful."
At this point, his thoughts were lost on the dress he had chosen. Deep down, he imagined what Miyo would look like while the cherry tree was blooming. Because of this, he did not hear Maya's call at first.
"Mr. Kudou! Mr. Kudou!"
"I'm sorry, little distracted. What would this kimono look like on Miyo?"
"I see you immediately found my best idea. Light colors perfectly highlight her eyes."
"You're absolutely right. I'd like a kimono with this pattern."
"You have perfect luck. We have just finished one and if you want to try it on, we are ready."
"Fine."
"There is another thing here. A minute please."
Maya set off for the back. By the time he came back she had a box.
"What is it?"
"A comb. One of your servants came here yesterday. He introduced himself as Mineta."
Kudou was surprised. True, he recently received a salary for his services, but is this the first thing he spend on? Opening the box, he received what Maya said, but the most ornate comb he could see.
"And he want to give this to Miyo?"
"I asked him that too, but he said he wanted to buy it in case you might have no idea of a gift. Very kind and noble to him."
"Yes. He's always been like this."
kudou called Miyo back and had her try on the finished kimono. It seems that luck was with them, because it suited her perfectly. They paid and prepared to leave. He put the comb in his pocket. Maya even told Kudou before going out, to take care of the gem that is next to him. He just nodded when they left the store.
Their next stop is a candy store, where they bought ice cream enriched with all kinds of fruits.
"Delicious?" Kudou asked, when Miyo tasted.
"Yes." she replied silently.
"I rarely see you smile. actually, I'd like to see what it's like to do it with all your heart."
"I can't respond to that. I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Because..."
Kudou got a little stuck in his sentence. His heart was beating in his throat, but as soon as he took a deep breath, he continued.
"I plan on actually getting married."
"We're going to marry?"
"Yes. Also, I would like to show your sincere self instead of constantly apologizing and suppressing your thoughts"
Miyo put down the spoon and turned her head. She was glad that someone cared about her, but deep down she couldn't overcome one thing. The fact that she donesn't have any Gift. Because of this, her family mixed the order of marriage. They ate their ice cream and continued their program. But in spite of the joy, then she was only in her mind that it would not be marriage. As soon as Kudou somehow finds out that she has no power, her happiness is over. Until then, she wanted to enjoy her time with him. Only at sunset did they return to the vicinity of the mansion. Kudou's eyes, on the other hand, were caught in the nearby trees. Miyo saw it when she followed his example. Mineta was training at the time. He was a little neglected, and since he had free time, he just started. It was seen here that he was very agile and good climbing. Plus, he can cling perfectly anywhere with his adhesive balls. He was hanging upside down as he spotted them. He immediately went down from the tree and ran in front of them.
"How was your date?" he asked with a smug.
"It was great." Kudou replied, then turned to Miyo. "Could you go into the apartment? I would like to speak to Mineta."
"Yes." Miyo replied and walked away. When he was sure they had stayed in private, he took out the comb.
"That was your idea?"
"Partly. Yurie noticed that Miyo had the only comb, but it was completely ruined. And I got paid from you the day before yesterday. That's why I thought if you went on a date and you didn't think of any heart-to-heart gifts, I could help you with that."
"Thank you. In the evening I give her."
"Don't mention it. By the way, I forgot to ask because I got drunk yesterday. What did your I. A. get you?"
"Really. I forgot about that, too. The point is that Saimori Miyo doesn't have any Gifts."
"That's what she told me. She's afraid to tell you, but it also has to come."
"Also, her mother's family is Usuba. I was surprised."
"Why?" he asked.
"The Usuba family is the strongest and most mysterious family I ever know from hearing. The point is, her mother's name is Saimori Sumi. Unfortunately she died in illness when Miyo was still a baby."
"And her dad got married right away. He's a son of a bitch." Mineta finished and clenched his hands into fists. "If I haven't before, I'm going to drive myself to the very end to make Miyo happy again."
Kudou smiled and grabbed Mineta's shoulder.
"You were right. Now go and wash up. For helping me, now you can be the first in the bath."
Thank you and I take the opportunity." He said and bowed. Kudou greeted him with a smile and his mind set up for the next step. He will visit the Saimori family and give them an ultimatum.
After dinner, Kudou put the comb in front of Miyo's room door. Mineta came back from bathing just when she noticed the gift and go to the living room. Kudou was just reading a book.
"This..."
"This is my gift for today. Use the way you just want."
"Thanks. I will appreciate this gift for the rest of my life."
Mineta sneaked past her and looked at her. She smiled with all her heart. This started immeasurable happiness in both mans.
"Like I said, master. God created you for each other." he noted with a smile.
"Yes."
Mineta then gently pushed Miyo towards Kudou.
"What are you planning?" he asked suspiciously.
"Grab each other's hands. If I should ask for that much."
They complied with the request with a smile, whereupon Mineta put his both hand on it.
"From now on, as long as you live, I will support you. There will be no barrier or law to stop this. If I have to, I'll give my life for it."
Then they both grabbed his shoulder and smiled at him. Mineta has made two friends
