They didn’t visit.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E641lvj3K
Once again, Fubuki and Tatsumaki withdrew into themselves, leaving Inko all alone while Izuku and Kiri were gone.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYjmjetKDr
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwllI9D79nW
So that leaves her alone to take care of the house, to try to relax. It was easier said than done.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWElqpV5eg
What if something happens on I-Island?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCry9KMUvKz
What if her babies don’t come back?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dme9ckvFY
How would she take it?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP148myEK0L
How would her daughters?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadmm09cK78
These questions plagued her mind across the plain days while her children were gone.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdNv5A0fXW
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkGo8YSwkK
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePTkgthrrd
More mature?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYorTpk9AMK
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQugFkNZ4b0
Izuku: “We’re home!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTXJM9PXLV
Kiri: “Home.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYsiLKlM42
Inko: “Welcome back, both of you. I missed you so much. How was your trip?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xTnqbJJNR
Izuku: “Enlightening.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5tZGG9MTv
Kiri: “Unexpected.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHKQKWVAOR
Inko: “Really? Tell me all about it.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0slmmvTBk
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3YIpA2i6G
But despite the dangers her children faced, the thing that stood out was the obvious.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyEwQgwDAL
Inko: “You’re… dating two girls?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBMTVre3KF
Izuku: “Yeah, I couldn’t pick in the end.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksKkCxr2ic
Inko: “And you’re okay with this, Kiri?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopK7gDtCj9
Kiri: “… Nh. Wish was only one. But Udders isn’t… terrible to be with.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqBoWOJe68
Inko: “Wow… you always find ways to surprise me, Izuku.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJF1mQroXj
Izuku: “You accept it?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYHJTBWscP
Inko: “Of course, sweetie. As long as you’re not taking advantage of Kiri and the other girl… ”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1TclV5d95
Izuku: “Never.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2G78ArB1K
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmtO77AfZ7
Izuku: “Don’t worry, I can handle it.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgy8LNwEnH
He says while taking Kiri’s hand and giving her a gentle squeeze.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr6C8tgjsr
Izuku: “In fact, I’m ready to tell Tatsu and Fubuki. Did they visit you while we were gone? How are they?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8cuq20F70
It was then that Inko’s soft smile faltered.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsIrbgbQMu
Inko: “Well… they haven’t really visited… yet.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk85xc8lBI
Izuku: “Oh… ”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllfz2g0ot6
Kiri: “Still troubled?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FzqMLp1L9
Inko: “Yes, but I understand. They just… need time.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLr0KrzPPh
Izuku: “Maybe… but they should have at least checked up on you. We’ll talk to them.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEGgUP9Wry
Inko: “N-No, you don’t have to do that.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jgArltqOh
Kiri: “Want to help.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTCNIhAhnH
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZw1cWC63S
There’s that feeling again. Something is different about her son. Whether it’s really a good thing, only time will tell.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKpdnZ8uwF
Inko: “… Okay, but don’t force it if they really don’t have the time.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BhpJb9G5B
Izuku: “I promise.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQJp2RgiL1
Kiri: “Nh.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEkTFmPycf
With that, they gave their mother another hug before setting off to get their siblings to come home.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrazjgp82E
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlqlFVNXAJ
Again, the trail goes cold. After the incident at Hosu, Tatsumaki went out to find the man who almost took her brother away.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uvEZTwRRO
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-
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hn0EXNoug
Arashi: “You really should visit your mother.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBebtPCLtW
The man says while gently caressing the girl’s bare back while the two share the bed. Yes, the other way to relieve stress.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9v3UxrD5f
Tatsumaki: “Shut it, Arashi. I don’t want to think about that now. Besides… I’m sure she doesn’t want to see me.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MT7GHSRkV
Arashi: “I don’t know why you keep beating yourself up over what happened. It was an ambush; no one saw it coming.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5QMCklU6f
Tatsumaki: “Doesn’t make me feel any better.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc8DxYd8Hx
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzW3DHMRoh
Arashi: “Then check in with your mother. You may think she doesn’t want to see you but-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49QYzlXZKP
Tatsumaki: “If she wanted to see me, she would’ve reached out like usual. But… she hasn’t. I get it.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCRhEgVDOF
Tatsumaki: ‘She wouldn’t want to see the person who almost failed to save her children.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusitd6koPM
Shaking her head from those depressing thoughts, Tatsumaki pushed herself up and wrapped her arms around Arashi’s neck.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2dghEdqdW
Tatsumaki: “Enough about that; I’m tired of thinking about it.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe9k3DUPCj
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACLFJVx5RL
Arashi: “I don’t think this is helping. Come on, Tornado, I don’t like seeing you like this.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYmzVZ1pi0
Tatsumaki: “Just shut up and-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfupr5zqIK
Just then, the doorbell rang. Arashi tried to remove himself from his… friend with benefits, but she held on.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraaaLLO7wg
Tatsumaki: “Ignore it.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5xOyx0fhT
She says while lowering her kisses to his chest.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy3I9qnoih
Arashi: “But it could be important. Maybe a lead?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyXIeBzfYQ
The girl stilled, and after a sigh, flopped back onto the bed.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qFJSlWFJI
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DX0mPmtGE
Arashi: “Haha, fine.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J1HKyI2jm
He kisses her on the forehead before leaving to get dressed. It didn’t take too long for Arashi to return.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdP8Aqxqul
Tatsumaki: “Let me guess, it was nothing?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIrpxYOLGF
Arashi: “Uh… no, your brother is here.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD1IVue2CV
Instantly, her eyes shot open, and she dashed to get dressed into anything presentable.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyVLkFZv6T
Tatsumaki: ‘How did he know I was here?! Did someone at the agency run their mouth?!’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvQGX2T0z4
Arashi knew exactly what she was thinking and secretly prayed for that poor soul.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ651J6iVFj9
Dressed in casual wear that doesn’t scream ‘I just rocked someone’s world’, Tatsumaki combed her hair and looked to Arashi.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5llddpyMi
Tatsumaki: “Do I look presentable?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI62PdHyDg6
Arashi: “You look fine.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S6iYpZbgn
Tatsumaki: “Damn it, that means I look horrible. Distract him!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSUAfcoSZS
Arashi: “How?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjA3LZI4sE
Tatsumaki: “I don’t know; think of something!”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs5HQeTEiR
Izuku: “Tatsu, I can hear you. It’s fine; I won’t judge.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UIzfI2CXK
The girl sighed and accepted her embarrassing fate.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V6c7KELKT
Tatsumaki: “See you later, Arashi.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbnryN1m6z
Arashi: “You too. Enjoy the time with your family, okay?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaVg98GLZ3
Tatsumaki: “Hmph.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbET0kAvvuw
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hrim4ER3A
Tatsumaki: “Before you ask, no, we didn’t do anything. I’m just here because-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikE1iB7Xbl
Before she could finish, Izuku silenced her with a hug.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL68xKc4Qr
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpycCpLNYP
Tatsumaki: “What are you-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV2ElexpzI
It was then that she truly saw her brother; something had changed. He seemed more confident, more… powerful.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF9WgjjixC
Tatsumaki pushed him away and looked into his eyes, really looked at them.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHk3ZhdEE5
Tatsumaki: “Izu, what happened?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzNehfd4S2
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv7vYtNtJp
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?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsfLh8azS0
Tatsumaki: “Alright, but I’m not pushing Mom away. I’ve just been busy.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSvw4fymjE
Izuku: “Busy, huh?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLcQVBsHyt
Izuku tried to peer around his sister, but she quickly held her arm out, preventing him from looking inside.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKraCtKPjZ
Tatsumaki: “A lapse of judgment. I’ll be back in the sky as soon as you leave.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOznOgYuGv7
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.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i9Nk29UWt
Tatsumaki: “… I guess.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdp6zFOlUE
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcThuXcf3sg
Tatsumaki: “Fine, but don’t be surprised if Mom doesn’t want to see me.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyN1AS5ajx
Izuku: “Huh? Why wouldn’t she want to see you?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc956c3XDS
She looks back to the now airborne Izuku with an unreadable expression.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamXkVQnjfA
Tatsumaki: ‘You should know why.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslRehllEWT
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?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv5GOUVlSP
She failed where Fubuki didn’t when that nomu creature attacked them. What use is a big sister who can’t protect her siblings?
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqj41jxOua
Tatsumaki: “Never mind, let’s just go. I assume Kiri is going to get Fubuki.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRRTWb8E7O
Izuku: “Yeah.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BpAnwKQD4
Tatsumaki: “Hm.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz1WwJSlgv
Tatsumaki: ‘I wonder if that was a good idea.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ymKOytLDe
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdla3H76S1
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Gpbq0OMj
Fubuki: ‘I was close to a breakthrough, I know it.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO18Fvsm2TV
But no matter how she pushed, she couldn’t grasp it. Worse, the atmosphere within her agency has been… icy.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kQcK68WiH
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.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9AnGQYPFo
But she pushed him away and told him to leave. Like he was some annoyance or burden.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqJ79YBX20
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf9nLNfRGa
No, the only one that deserves that is her.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyc5Q4Mi8b
Fubuki: ‘Train until I can’t anymore.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mxn25Nl49
So once again, she pushes her quirk to the limit in her large private training room within the agency.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz8FV2Hinq
Fubuki: ‘I can’t fall behind.’
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwmNYAwQLN
Kiri: “Onee… ”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoHIhqTqEg
The woman didn’t need to turn around to recognize that voice. She wiped the sweat from her brow and responded.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ETlFCBlb
Fubuki: “You’re back from I-Island?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yUJfEj9zC
Kiri: “Nh. Are you… alright?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXqEql9iej
Fubuki: “Yes, what do you want?”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Tl2I7jto
Kiri: “I… Okaasan wants us all for dinner. You didn’t visit.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LOt3QdiJZ
Fubuki: “Busy.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrMFG3TJ2w
Kiri: “… No… in pain.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdNQpXGQub
Finally, the older sister turns to Kiri, who is staring at her with a mix of worry and determination.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0k0rHle7y
Fubuki: “Right, you can read emotions or something, right? Well, stop it. You can’t help me.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GcNLmj8O3
Kiri: “But I want to.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OVDspX2Xi
Fubuki: “Why? We’re not that close. You’re closer with Big Sis and Izu.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPjI2QbekE
Kiri: “You’re still family. Please, onee-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSIZ48d0Gx
Fubuki: “I thought I said not to call me that.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv4v8fm7I0
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4F1Xp2ndO
Fubuki: “Just… leave me alone. I need to train more.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8by7SD84K
When she didn’t hear any response, Fubuki thought Kiri left. But no, instead the little sister decided to take drastic measures.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiwmRpLzD3
Kiri: “You feel inferior.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRRZr6KEUG
The temperature drops sharply as Fubuki stills.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99hwRWuN2u
Kiri: “You feel… falling behind. That you’ll be… replaced… by me? Onee I-”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEjNfO5EfK
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjAp2pizGN
Fubuki: “I changed my mind. You can stay. After all, I needed a training partner.”
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz1RsyiKal
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHNwKcimUb
If Kiri insisted on staying, the least she can do is withstand her frustrations.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kot3RNhDk
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.
