Chapter 5: Botan!
[I am hungry!]
'He is weird. Haha.' She thought.
She put the bag on her shoulder and began to walk when Rito, who was strolling down the street, felt a very unsettling sensation all over his body.
However, he thought that the big sister from the park was the target of those stares, not him.
Plus, all of it came from his quirk danger sense, so Rito felt something crushing down on him, and his mind started to observe the surroundings with a cautious look to it.
"Mother. That brother is acting strange."
"Pff..." Rito coughed as he stared at the little boy, who was dragged by the lady pointing at him with childlike innocence and curiosity all over his face.
"Shh. Be quite." Child mother silenced the kid and dragged her kid, leaving Rito stunned as he realized how awkward he was acting at the moment, making the lady from before laugh.
'Is he a chuunibyou.' Botan thought as she looked at Rito, who took a weird stance all of a sudden, though Rito also did not know, but it all happened because his synchronize rate with Kirito card had read 35% due to use of that silver card booster, and it was something Kirito developed in Aincrad.
"Um, you know. You are being stared at the moment." Botan smiled and turned silent. As Rito awkwardly changed his stance, that he took reflexively.
But his words left Botan a bit startled.
"Anyway. Be careful; those gazes felt a bit unnatural to me. And move in big group; that way, they will not harm you, big sister." Rito went clear and straightforward with Botan.
Making the girl silent as she gazed at Rito weirdly. After all, this was the first time she had been warned by someone else, other than her family.
"Yes! I am alright. Don't worry."
"Senior, where are you going?" Rito asked.
Botan felt a bit awkward, but seeing how Rito was only a kid, she smiled and told him the way with a big grin.
[Is she okay.]
[Wait, is she going alone this way.]
[That could be bad.]
[My danger sense is buzzing like hell here.]
"Let's go together then. My home is also from the same way." Rito did not know. But at this moment, Izuku Midoriya's initiating quality was affecting Rito's mindset.
Due to which, Rito started to think about how he could help this lady.
Although they had only met and talked for a moment, Rito senses were screaming to help her out with all he had within him.
And his body was reacting that way, influenced by his own will.
If it is not for Rito's age, and those weird words are popping in her mind.
Botan would have thought that she was getting hit on by someone in broad daylight.
But for certain reason, she was able to realize that it was boys inner thoughts that were echoing within her mind. So, without any hesitation, she was able to bring herself to believe in the kid, although unconsciously.
'Eh!' Rito suddenly became aware that what he had blurted could have multiple meanings, and he began to feel a slight sense of awkwardness.
"I mean, it is getting dark. Plus, walking alone is a bit scary around these areas, you know!" He tried to explain.
[Shit.]
[As a man, I need to guard.]
[It's so embarrassing.]
Rito's inner thoughts were very chaotic.
Botan also had a hard time controlling her laughter, but looking at his awkward self, she was able to let out a dazzling smile that stunned Rito into silence, along with other parties that appeared on the roadside.
After all, as a family, this was the first time that they had seen Botan smile like that in front of others and so openly.
It was the smile that was stolen from Botan due to many things that had happened in her past, and some of it was their responsibility too.
[This senior is so beautiful.]
Botan smile suddenly halted. As she looked away from the boy's looks for a moment. With a faint blush on her face, she turned back to see Rito looking at the side.
"Hmm! Let's go. Big sister will send you back." Shaking her thoughts.
Botan spoke, and with her action, Rito felt a little awkward, given that he did not have much experience being talked to like a little brother by someone older than him.
After all, his mother and father are always off chasing their dream, so all he had was a sister as a family, for as long as he could remember.
Botan smiled brightly and grabbed Rito's hand.
And after that, Rito was dragged along with Botan and realized that Botan's house was not that far from his home, and he even talked with Botan, who invited Rito for the dinner, but Rito declined because he had a sister waiting for him until they reached her mansion-like home.
'This is...' "Wait, Senior." Saying that, Rito's expression turned very serious for the first time, leaving Botan a bit shaken as he looked at the way Rito was watching and found Nagi and others waiting for her.
"Big sis. Please believe me, but that group is really dangerous." Rito finally found the entity behind those stares from before, and the unbelievable danger feeling radiating from that group was sending chills under Rito's mind, as if he were meeting a boss character from Aincrad and 6 of them all together.
"You guys, stop it already. You are just scaring him." Botan shouted at the group, who was looking at Rito with pure hostility, which was the reason why Rito was feeling like being targeted, and the moment Botan shouted, all of that hostility vanished like a poof, making Rito stunned as he looked at Botan.
"Haha! Sorry, Rito-kun. They are my family. Though a bit unique, they all are nice guys within those stares. So don't worry. Haha."
'Huh! Family member.' Rito's mind went puff.
As he looked at the group.
And he was certain that each of them was different than Botan and other humans.
"I am sorry. I did not know." Rito apologized. Haori, who was biggest within the group, came smiling at Rito and spoke.
"No, it was just we wanted to be certain about thing. But Botan, I must say, I did not know that you swing toward the younger type." This time, Botan was completely embarrassed, and a big blush appeared on her face, which was obviously visible to Rito, who looked at Haori and could tell that she was just messing with Botan.
"Haori!" Botan spoke with anger but only ended up getting teased by her more.
And at the end of it, Botan was completely defeated by the 5 year champion of this kind of debate session even today. Upholding her title of big sister in Nagatsuki household.
