Chapter 3

Most of the class wasted half the alloted time given just to use the bathroom since there was a line to wait in. After that Yumi found her favorite bag of chips and soda to buy. As she was about to go in line to buy it she could hear the voice of a little girl saying 'no'. Yumi turned her head to look around, her ears twitching. She soon saw the little girl, she was being dragged away by the wrist by an older man. Yumi approached them, noticing how this isn't just a child having a tantrum. Shinsou noticed Yumi dropping her things before walking towards the man. Shinsou walked closer as back up in case she needed it.

Yumi grabbed the man by the shoulder and twirled him around. He looked angry as he stopped to face her.

"What the-"

"Sir do you have any idea how much trouble your child is in?! She trashed an entire aisle and I hope you have the money to pay for damages!"

The man went pale in the face, letting go of the child.

"I d-don't have cash on me..."

"Sir there is an ATM just outside. I'll wait right here." The man nodded and headed out. Yumi leaned down to the scared child.

"That, wasn't your dad was he?" The girk was sniffling, tears threatening to spill.

"No, he j-just grabbed m-me..." she said before she started to cry. Yumi crouched down to the girl's height.

"Hey sweetie it's okay. I'm studying to be a hero, so it's my job to help. Is your real daddy in this store?"

The girls wiped her nose with her arm before mumbling a 'yes'.

Shinsou watched as Yumi placed the girl on her shoulders, asking the child for help in finding her father. He checked the clock and noticed there were only a few minutes left before the bus would leave. He had already bought his snacks so he was going to head back when he saw the snacks Yumi dropped to helped the child. He secretly picked them up and bought them for her before getting on the bus.

"Daddy!" Yelled the child as she and Yumi approached a man who seemed frantic.

"Yuka! Honey you can't run off like that!"

"Sir, there was a man trying to take your daughter. He was not apprehended but I deemed your daughter's safety more important than catching him. I suggest in the future you teach Yuka not to be afraid to make a scene in public if it means to keep a creep away from her."

"Yes of course, thank you so much!" He hugged his daughter before leaving the store with his hand tightly holding hers. Yumi smiled, then gasped when she checked what time it was. She didn't have time to wait in line to buy her snacks. She groaned before hurrying to the bus. She'd definitely get hungry. Maybe she could take some from Mina? No she like sour stuff. Maybe Ochako? No she's super into sweets.

Yumi got on the bus 1 minute before they had to depart. "You're cutting it close Yumi." Said Aizawa.

"Sorry sensei."

"I'm just glad you actually used your time properly. Thanks for helping that kid." Yumi wasn't surprised he noticed. She just smiled and thanked him before going to her seat. Before she sat down she noticed her chips and soda waiting for her on the seat. She looked at Shinsou and he was busy staring at the window. She looked around and no one else mentioned who bought her snacks. She shrugged her shoulders, happy to just have snacks.

She didn't notice Shinsou's lips form a small smile at seeing her enjoy her snacks.
