ᅠ

While I was thinking about it, I entered the room. It looks like he was cleaning the dust from our teachers desk. He glanced over me and went on with what he was doing. He looked like he didn't have any motivation at all, as if he was just a puppet.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Do you mind if I start cleaning the floor now, or do you need time to move some stuff from other side of the room?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"...no I don't mind..." he answered with his head hanging low.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Alright, don't mind if I do." And as I said that, I started my plan, but the silence and tension in the room was uncomfortable, so I tried to make conversation with this guy. I stopped briefly what I was doing and walked to him.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"I'm Hatake Kakashi. It's nice to meet you. What's your name?" And I lifted my arm for a shake but seconds later, I realized that we don't do it here in Japan. 'Oh shit this sounded so cringe and forced' And it became awkward for me. Even though I'm physically seven, I still am mentally older, and this condition already is awkward af.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
He looked at as if I'm about to hit him. "...I'm...I'm Yonezu Kioshi. It...It's nice to meet you too, Hatake-San."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
'Shit, it's even more awkward for me now.' I looked at the desk that he was cleaning and asked. "Do you always clean this class alone, or do other people join also?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"...yes...It's always me cleaning it... it's always those three classmates from our class who are bullying me, and then they play the victim, and the teacher always believes them because the other two friends of theirs always say that their version is the truth..." he stopped what he was doing, and he almost was on the verge of crying and was on the brink of collapse from this.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
I didn't know how to react or respond to that, so I did the only thing that I knew from past life to comfort him, and that was hugs. Lots and lots of hugs.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
So, I lightly put my hands around his back and started stroking his head. This one I learned from my previous mom even though I won't see her again, my memories with her will never die, I hope.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
And it seems this tactic has worked, and he started letting his feelings out and hugged me back with all his left strength.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
It reminds me of how other kids used to bully me in elementary in my past life because of my surname, and I used to feel really bad. Thank god that I had a loving family to get through it, but it makes me feel sad seeing others experiencing the same thing, especially when that person is a kid.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
After a couple of minutes have passed, I asked him. "Do you feel better now, or do you need a few more minutes?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
He let go of me, wiped off his tears, and said "...yeah I'm fine... it's just...no one believed me... even my parents..."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
'Well, that's one way to leave a deep mental scar for a 7 year old kid.'
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Do you have any idea why would they make fun of you, or are they doing it just because?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"They make fun of my quirk and are saying that won't ever be a hero with that quirk but I'll be a villain instead."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"So your dream is to become a hero huh. Hmm... So what's your quirk? It can't be that bad of a quirk, can it?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
He takes one of his gloves off, and his fingers turn to different kinds of blades.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"As I know, my quirk is Blade Fingers. It lets me turn my any hand fingers into any blade that I think of, but I can't control it well, and when I get emotional I unconsciously turn my fingers into blades."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"That's quite a good quirk if you ask. Well, that is if you can control it at least."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"That's the problem. I can't control it well. And they make fun of me because of it. They're saying that I'm going to be a villain just because most of the time, I unconsciously have my quirk activated."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Hmm... Can you tell me how they look like? I will have... let's say that I have a few words to say to them."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Uh yes, but why? It isn't like they are going to listen to what anyone else has to say, and I doubt that they will listen to you."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Don't worry, I have my ways." 'Lots and lots of painful ways.'
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Why do I get sinister vibes from you?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"It's probably your imagination. C'mon, let's finish cleaning, or do you want to be stuck here in this room for the rest of the day?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
And as I said that, we resumed cleaning the room. After about 10 minutes we finished cleaning the classroom.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"...Why are you helping me?..."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"With cleaning the classroom? Well, it's because the teacher forced me, that's why."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"No, I mean with my problem. Why do you want to help me?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Does helping someone need a reason? But to answer your question, Hmm... I guess maybe I can somewhat relate to you."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"What do you mea-"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Alright, finished. It was nice to meet you, Yonezu-san. Meet me tomorrow on lunch break outside near the sakura tree. I'll be waiting for you."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Huh? Why?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Well, aren't we friends now? But if this is not enough as an answer, then you can think as wanting to know you better. Alright, I have to go. Bye for now."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"...Bye."

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"I'm back!" I said while coming in.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Oh, you're here. Took you a while. Can you come here and help me a little bit? I need to add some spices that I forgot to grab beforehand."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Sure."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Thanks."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
I walked into the kitchen and helped her by stirring the mix in the pot while she was looking for those few spices.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"So... What happened? You're usually not late this much."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Ah, nothing special. Just the teacher decided that I needed to clean the classroom with another kid just because I slept for a bit."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"You know, even if you know the subject, you should still not sleep in the class."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Yeah I know, but what can you do when she speaks in such a quiet and monotone voice it's not hard to fall asleep in the middle of the lesson."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"You said that you cleaned it with someone else. Did he also sleep during the class, or did he do something?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Well, it's kind of complicated, but to be brief, he was framed for something he didn't do by his bullies, and teachers believed them."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"..."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"..."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"So... That happened. Wait, why didn't he just tell his parents about it? It surely could help him here."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"You see... his parents also bought the story, so... nothing much you can do here. He's a good kid, it's just sad seeing this happen to someone, especially his age."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Well then, maybe we can help him, we just need to come up with the plan an-"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Don't worry, I already have a plan. We'll know how to deal with those bullies of his that is."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Still... We need to find a way to make this work. For example, if you fight them so they would tell the truth to teachers and a teacher sees it... Well, let's just say they wouldn't believe you."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Yeah, the plan is still in progress, so no need to rush. Anyways, where's Minato? I didn't see his car, so I guess he's went somewhere?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"He went to fix a few things up with our newly established studio so that we could get office space for workers, and by the current rate, we should be ready in a few weeks. He should be back after a couple of minutes so you won't miss out too much on what we found that might be useful to you."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Oh, OK, that makes sense." 'and what does she mean by the last part?'
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"...What sauce do you want to use? Ketchup, Mayo, Mustard or Soy Sauce?"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Soy sauce please."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Alright, last thing to do is to get the table ready, and we're done."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
After getting the table ready, we decided to wait for Minato before we dig in, and after a couple of minutes later, he arrived.
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"I'm back!"
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"So, how did it go? Also, put your things in the living room cause we're waiting for you so that we could start dining already."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"It went well, took longer than expected, but it still went well. Oh hi Kakashi."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Sup."
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ
"Alright, Alright just hurry up. We don't want food to get cold, do we?"
__________________
Author here just to explain a few things about chapter release consistency.
Well the reason I wasn't uploading a lot or any chapters was that I felt unmotivated and too lazy to write anything and because of that I felt that it was harder for me to turn my thoughts into text so tried to take a break but a massive heatwave went through Europe so it didn't help any way.
I'm not gonna make a promise that my uploads will be consistent but I'll just say that I will update this or any novel when I feel like it so that I wouldn't self-pressuring myself so yeah. I still am active on Webnovel when I'm not writing too so if anything comes up just ask.
Anyways have a nice day everyone and thanks for the official rating.
