Chapter 69
Title: Candy...
….
Seeing Eri's smile, made me smile too. How sad for a kid to experience something like her. The little girl didn't even know how to smile until now, so I had to make sure that my introduction would be able to make her smile.
Nighteye looks at me and a barely visible smirk is on his face. Mirio gives me a thumbs up.
"Okay now, Eri -chan, I must show you the U.A Culture Festival!" I announce. "This way it will get rid of the quarantine feeling that you have been having lately."
I strike a Hero pose and give her a double thumbs up.
Mirio smiles too and so does Nighteye, but the thing is… I haven't actually asked permission from anyone to do this.
But with this, will help me in the negotiations as no one will have the heart to tell Eri that she can't go.
….
Two hours later and after talking with Eri a little bit, I must say, how can Overhaul do something like that to a kid like her. Ripping her apart and putting Eri back together, must have felt like constant torture.
*sigh* Some people go too far for their useless goals. Still, I keep a smile on my face for her. I guess being a Hero isn't so bad and I can enjoy myself instead of doing it just for the influence it gives me.
I already got permission now.
"So, we will first have to try sweet apples, sugar mini bananas, chocolate and-"
"Kaminari, stop mentioning to her only sweets." Nighteye intervenes to be the voice of reason in this. "Don't forget to mention the different sweet drinks."
I smirk at him. "Oh no! How could I have forgotten!!"
….
"Anyway, I have to go now, see ya later Eri~" I wave at her with a huge smile on my face as I go outside.
But as soon as I close the door, the smile slips off my face. It truly hits hard when the sadness moves from a show into reality, the little girl experienced those torturing pains.
I should try and fix some things on my way to the top. At least, that way both the people and I benefit. This life, I don't want to regret so many things.
A smile makes its way back on my face as I resolute myself to this. I am not gonna be a death seeker, but at least I will help those around me that I can see.
If I remember correctly, the sports festival won't have too many sweets, not even sweet apples… so should I ask Satou to help me make them? I am not good at cooking sweets, and I don't see a reason to learn how to make them from scratch.
I have learned something that it took me two lifetimes to learn. There is no need to be the best at everything, even the useless stuff, that is just a waste of time. Because I would end up as a Jack of All Trades and a Master of none.
The hospital staff is nice enough to put up with my sudden requests, but the stink eye that the receptionist at the entrance gives me… well, I just act like I don't see such things.
"Oy, Denki Kaminari, where do you think you are going?" She called out to me.
Immediately I stop in my tracks. Damn, I stopped… now I can't act like I didn't hear her. I turn around rigidly and wave. So I put on my money-winning smile and turned to greet her. "Well hello there miss, did you call me?"
I can see that she is a brown-haired and black-eyed woman.
She pouts. "You forgot to sign in the responsibility forum that in case anything happens to Eri, you will be held accountable."
My face pales at that. Seeing the victorious smile on her face pisses me off, but I don't act out. I am not worried about Eri being kidnapped because I can handle those things. But what if she gets a stomach ache from eating too many sweets… that is too much responsibility for an underage kid like me!!
"Y -Yeah…" I reluctantly sign the form and get out of the view of that hellish woman. Hope she doesn't get married and lives her whole life alone in a dark apartment.
I curse her through the whole way to the ingredient store, but sadly my Quirk has nothing to do with curses so she will probably live a happy life and give the stink eye to her husband for the rest of his life.
My 2nd ex-wife in my first life was always whining like this. Truly annoying as hell. That was why she was my ex… *sigh* I wonder how she did after our divorce. I was always a terrible husband, always cheating on her even when we had kids. Damn, I was a horrible father and husband.
Fuck! Enough thinking about the past now! I must look towards the future. I have already mopped over them, I don't wanna live the same life as I did.
…
"Oh! Look! Is that The Hero Flash?!!"
"Yeah!! He looks like him!!"
Now, these things would usually follow me. But this time they are not directed at me.
I look at where they are pointing and see that it is a newly opened sweets shop with posters of me plastered all over the place… while also a very familiar face is running the place. It seems like it is also very familiar.
The place is called {Flash Candy} so the place is obviously milking my name for all its worth. And it's being run by my damn CLONE…
The guy was just crying about how he wanted to live and didn't want to die, not too long ago. But now the little shit is using my name and face for gain. He must not be afraid of death.
When I enter the shop, he immediately notices me as I send him an electric signal that only me and he would notice. Since I am wearing a hat and facemask, no one notices me as I melt into the crowd.
He pales as he looks at me. "E -Excuse me everyone, but the place is closed for today!"
"Ahhh…" Some people groan at this.
Once he hears this, Akira's fear seems to disappear and he gives the customers a thumbs up. "Don't worry everyone, we will be open tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to get in contact with the real Flash and get him to meet everyone!"
"Hell yeah!!" The people seem excited. Well, I don't mind this that much.
But one of the customers suddenly yells out. "Akira! I hope you and your long-lost brother Flash meet up."
Okay, what the hell has this fucker been telling them!!
As the shop closes down, only I stay behind and look at him. "I thought you were a corporate slave who worked 18 hours a day?"
"Yeah… I still work eight hours at the fast food place that we met previously." I can see him trying to figure out how to answer this. "So… you found out faster than I thought."
Instantly he realizes what he said is wrong so he tries to correct himself. "Of course, I was planning to share my profits with you. After all, identity theft is no joke."
Yeah, I don't believe that for one bit. He definitely is a sketchy businessman.
"You have big balls to do this just after I threatened you with your life." I am truly curious what is running through this stupid clone of mine's mind.
"Well, last time I just thought that maybe it would be best to take some risks since people could just come and kill me." He looks at me pointedly as he says the last part.
Yeah dick, I know you mean that I could kill you at any time. No need to act coy with me.
"So you decided to use my name and try to make me angrier? I wouldn't call that a smart move, if you poke a lion, don't be surprised if it bites back."
Suddenly as if a fire is lit in his eyes. Akira yells out passionately. "I would rather die rich than live poor!!"
*sigh* What did I do to deserve such a scumbag clone.
….
A/N: The clone is something else, it breaks Kaminari's expectations of an evil clone completely.🤣
THIS STORY IS FINISHED IN PATREÒN. It was more difficult than I thought to end it, I had many emdings in mind but it felt somewhat like I didn't want it to end. I always have the same feeling when I am about to end a story. It feels like raising your child and they are about to leave home.😭
