Yesterday was the worst thing Rin had ever experienced.
Well, yesterday, because now she was back in the arms of her nanny. Her favorite room and the warmth of her friends.
She thought being dumped by her relatives after her parents died was the worst thing she had ever experienced. But no, yesterday was the worst. A stranger took her to a strange and dark place. No matter how much Rin screamed or struggled, the man's power was still over her.
Fear, that was the only feeling that enveloped her entire body at that time. And even now Rin still felt hesitant just to get out of her room. Let alone leave the orphanage, fortunately both Tobi and Saku always looked after her.
It seemed like Rin had developed a trauma without even realizing it.
Rin rubbed the red jacket in her hand. Mn, she still hadn't returned the jacket to Nagato because she was still afraid of the outside world.
Rin squeezed the jacket in her hand. She washed this jacket secretly yesterday. Because Rin only realized that the jacket was wet. It was just that it was very clear that yesterday was sunny and hot without any black clouds. Then when Rin took a good look, she was surprised.
The jacket was covered in blood.
In Rin's memory, only the villain was battered. But there was no way the blood on this jacket belonged to that criminal. Because Nagato wasn't wearing this jacket when he beat him up.
It was Rin who had been wearing this jacket since Nagato arrived.
And the only one who touched Rin was Nagato himself. Nagato carried her home after a Hero named Grand Torino and a teenage boy took over the villain.
Since the beginning only Nagato touched her. And Nagato's jacket was also on her from the beginning.
If so, was Nagato hurt?.
Rin felt anxious at the thought. But she was too hesitant to go out and find out how Nagato was doing. Tobi and Saku were still at school and hadn't returned yet, Rin was even more hesitant to go out. Since yesterday she just shut herself in her room.
Rin could only hope that Nagato was okay.
....
But in reality, Nagato's own condition now was not very good.
*Brak!
"DO YOU WANT TO DIE!. How disgusting are we in your eyes! HAH?!."
"Bakugo!, Stop it!."
"NO!, YOU GUYS GET OUT OF THE WAY!, LET ME BLOW THIS RANCID KID UP!!."
Bakugo shouted angrily at his friends who kept trying to calm him down. In Bakugo's hand was Nagato who was weakly trying to release the hand that was gripping his collar.
While outside the men's restroom stood the Class A girls who were crowding around Uraraka who looked like she was in a funk.
In short, the place was chaotic.
"Kacchan!, Let go of Nagato-kun!, You'll hurt him!." Midoriya who had just arrived with Iida and Shoji rushed to separate the two people.
"Bakugo-kun!, If there's a problem between you, solve it nicely!. No need to make a scene like this!." Iida lectured.
"Noisy!. Let go of me!." Bakugo was held in the hands of his friends and continued to struggle.
While Midoriya hid Nagato behind him with Iida. His eyes looked at the angry Bakugo in confusion. What made Kacchan so angry?.
Then Midoriya looked at the boy behind him. Nagato, who was finally freed from Bakugo's hands, vomited in the toilet.
Seeing Nagato vomit, Bakugo's emotions seemed to increase even more. "Get out of the way!!!"
"Bakugo-kun, you need to calm down!" Iida warned Bakugo again. As class president he should be able to solve this problem without involving the teacher.
"Nagato-kun, are you okay?" Midoriya patted the boy's back who was still vomiting.
"Tell me what happened." Iida looked at his friends.
"Well...," Mineta stepped up to tell the story since she wasn't holding Bakugo.
Today Yaoyuruzu brought a mousse cake from France. And Aoyama also admitted that the bakery was very famous. The other friends were interested in the cake upon hearing Aoyama's confession.
They didn't know that Yaoyuruzu was a rich man.
Initially Yaoyuruzu brought the cake in order to win Nagato's heart.
The others thought that Yaoyuruzu's plan sounded good. All small children love sweet things like cakes and candies.
Once Nagato was brought over by the boys, the girls cut the cake and distributed it to everyone.
Everyone felt that the plan would go well. So they also started chatting even if it was just small talk. Nagato didn't seem to resist the approach either. The red-haired boy just ate the cake silently and didn't feel disturbed.
Then Uraraka told her and Midoriya's experience yesterday when meeting Nagato. Nagato's simple and simple story became exciting and interesting when it came out of Uraraka's mouth.
I don't know if it was because of her cheerful disposition, or because the way she told the story could attract the attention of many people. But certainly almost everyone focused their attention on the girl who enthusiastically continued to tell the story.
Suddenly Nagato stood up while covering his mouth. The cake that had been in his lap fell to the floor. The sound attracted all the eyes of the A students who were there.
But Nagato didn't seem to care and just ran out still covering his mouth. His face was contorted as if disgusted.
The others were confused why Nagato had such an expression. Did Nagato not like the cake?. But they saw Nagato accept and eat the cake calmly. Then, is it because of Uraraka's story?. Nagato doesn't like it?.
While others are still confused about how to respond to Nagato's sudden departure.
Bakugo, who had been silent while eating cake, also came out. His face was bent as usual. Because Bakugo usually always put on a face like that so no one paid attention to him.
But when Kirishima followed Bakugo, he found out that Bakugo was about to beat up Nagato in the toilet. The other boys soon arrived and things got even more hectic.
Then Midoriya, Iida and Shoji came and they managed to separate Bakugo from Nagato.
"What did you say Nagato-kun ate?" Midoriya asked.
"Cake, so what?" Kaminari who answered hesitantly.
Huh. Midoriya sighed then continued to pat Nagato's back. "It's okay Nagato-kun, just take it all out. How many mouthfuls did you eat earlier?"
"Oi!, Deku!, get away from him!, let me finish him!." Bakugo continued to yell.
"Bakugo-kun, stop yelling, what are you so angry about?" Iida snapped at Bakugo.
"...Tck." Bakugo only sneered before calming down.
The now seemingly full men's restroom was no longer noisy. Although there were many people in it, but no one made a sound, everyone was silent waiting for Nagato to finish his business.
Actually this is also Nagato's own fault. Looking at the white cake with fruit decoration that looks beautiful and tantalizing, Nagato can't help the gluttony in himself.
Remembering the porridge and juice he always met while eating made Nagato feel if his tongue would be numb. So a piece of cake that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes looked like the fruit of heaven.
Nagato completely ignored the consequences of eating things other than his food diet. And the result was predictable. His stomach immediately churned, nauseous and unpleasant. It was like having motion sickness. Really uncomfortable.
So Nagato immediately went to the toilet. It was really a coincidence that he left when Uraraka told him about his rescue.
Who would have thought that Bakugo would catch up with him and intend to beat him up. Nagato was still holding back the nausea in his mouth as Bakugo tightly gripped his collar.
At that moment Nagato was a bit desperate. He felt weak from holding back the nausea but Bakugo didn't immediately let go of his hand. If only Midoriya hadn't come along right then, maybe Nagato would have completely spilled his guts to Bakugo.
"Mm, why are you all gathered here?" Todoroki came from the entrance.
"...." They just realized that Todoroki had not been in class since before.
"These friends are all misunderstood. Especially you Kacchan." Midoriya began.
Bakugo immediately glared at Midoriya.
Midoriya avoided Bakugo's eyes fearfully. "Actually, Nagato-kun is having digestive problems and is now on a food diet under the supervision of Recovery Girl. So Nagato-kun can't accept just any food or this might happen. You can ask Recovery Girl to confirm."
The men's restroom became silent. Now many pairs of eyes were staring at Nagato who had not finished yet. Well, now they realize that this is just a misunderstanding.
Soon Nagato finished his business and flushed the toilet. As soon as he turned around, Nagato got a lot of mixed stares.
What's going on here? Did I miss something? Nagato thought doubtfully. Actually Nagato didn't really care about the people who were talking behind him.
Nagato had just been thinking there were too many things he had vomited. Seeing the various colors mixed together in the toilet made him think that he might have also vomited his breakfast this morning.
"What, you've never seen anyone vomit before?"
Nagato's question instantly dispersed the various stares that fell on him.
"Tck, you brat." Bakugo grumbled before walking out. As if he had never made a mess before. Perhaps Bakugo was embarrassed considering the riot he caused a moment ago.
"Huh, why didn't you say so from the start. I'll bring something else then." Yaoyuruzu said calmly.
"I guess I was thinking too far ahead, haha." Uraraka smiled cheerfully again.
"Well, problem solved, now back to class." Iida directed his friends out of the restroom.
The day's problem was solved without involving the teacher. The 1A students went back to class and Nagato went back to UA for lack of work.
In the principal's office Nezu was smiling as usual. With hot tea in hand he watched the video of the previous toilet fight.
Nezu put down the glass in his hand and opened a potato chip. "Good job Itachi."
Beside him Itachi happily accepted the opened packet of chips.
"They've learned well. They'll understand more later."
....
The next day Nagato left for UA with All Might as usual.
Somehow doing this every day felt like going back to his high school days. Nagato looked at the students entering the school gate one by one.
Except for their partially unique physiques and hero learning classes, UA itself was actually not too different from the high school in his world. Well except for some of the teachers who taught here were mostly eccentric. But that was because of their own quirk of course.
"Good morning, Nagato-kun, is your stomach alright?" Out of nowhere Uraraka was suddenly already in front of Nagato.
"Are you feeling better Nagato-kun?" Then followed Midoriya and Iida behind the girl.
"Good morning, Nagato-kun." Iida greeted briefly.
"Sorry for Bakugo's rudeness earlier. I'll control it properly next time." Iida bowed politely then went inside. "Midoriya-kun, Uraraka-san, Nagato-kun, I'll go first."
"Mn, See you Iida-kun!" Uraraka replied cheerfully.
"Yo, Morning, Uraraka-san, Midoriya." Nagato, Midoriya and Uraraka turned to the source of the voice. From near the gate UA Kirishima was waving his hand. Beside him was Bakugo with his usual expression.
Since Nagato was near the entrance of the building, so inevitably Kirishima and Bakugo walked towards them. "Wow, there's Nagato-kun here, sorry I didn't greet you before. Good morning." Kirishima smiled widely.
Bakugo didn't even say hello, he just glared at Nagato before walking past him. "Then I'll go first, see you in class later." Kirishima also left.
"This afternoon how about we have lunch together Nagato-kun?" Midoriya offered.
"Well, that's not a bad thing is it? Eating together can increase appetite!" Uraraka nodded in agreement. "We'll look for you later Nagato-kun!, Come on Midoriya-kun, see you at lunch Nagato-kun!." The two men then left.
Nagato was silent for a while. Eating? Remembering that in anime they eat various menus that can be ordered according to their preferences. If Nagato ate with them, instead of increasing his appetite, it could be a misery for Nagato.
Nagato imagined the possibilities that would happen later. He would only get light porridge, while around him sat people with various delicacies, curry, katsu, udon, sandwiches, steak. Imagining all that food made Nagato swallow involuntarily.
So Nagato firmly made a plan. At all costs don't let me eat with them!.
In the end Nagato managed to escape Midoriya and Uraraka's invitation when lunchtime arrived. But with the consequence that he missed the Recovery Girl's light porridge.
Maybe Nagato would face that grandmother's scolding later.
Nagato headed towards the back of the UA building with his milk carton and sketchbook. It had been a long time since he drew in this book.
But once Nagato reached his destination he bumped into someone. Todoroki.
Nagato saw the person standing under a shady tree. I don't know what that person was doing.
Don't tell me he urinated there? Nagato thought doubtfully. Could it be that the character who is said to hold the title as the millionth husbu in his world has such a habit?.
