Kapitel 65: Talk with Endeavor.
After going through the intense set of events; from Confrontation with Fuyumi to A sweet time with her; from there to finding about her Yandere side and after that going to GTA World, I finally got some good sleep. I woke up at around 5:00 PM. I quickly stood up from the bed and readied myself for the dinner.
After the bath, I took a look at the wardrobe and tried to choose what should I wear for the date. After a simple go through the wardrobe, I took out navy skinnies, white sneakers, a plaid shirt and a short camel coat for a casual look. This will be good enough I guess.
I then went down and hired a taxi to the Todoroki's Abode. While I was on the way to Fuyumi's home, I had several thoughts and one of them was
'I think my sleep time is getting lower day by day.'
Taking care of Eri, Helping out Carl, the Vigilante work and now having an Yandere Super Soldier as a girlfriend. Life cannot be more hectic.
But I have to do all these as I was the one who took responsibilities on my own accord, nobody forced it on me. Sometimes I think I should go for a vacation alone but,
Eri is my daughter so taking care of her is natural; Carl became more pathetic when GTA World turned out to be real, there is no respawning now, so once he dies, Game Over and now I treat him as a friend so helping him is okay.
About Fuyumi, After becoming a Super Soldier, she needs an outlet for her feelings or she will become a full-fledged Yandere like Yuno Gasai as her amplified feelings will accumulate and when she cannot hold back any more, she will snap.
For the outlet for her feelings, I need to be more intimate and lovey-dovey with her so she can express herself without any restraints.
It is the early phase of her 'Evolution'. Due to the rapid evolution of the human brain as a result of exposure to Super Soldier Serum, the individual Super Soldier is far more susceptible to mental disorders and their feelings are very volatile. I have to make her feel good and express how is she is so important and special to me.
And I also have to make sure that she firmly believes that I will never leave her. When the only fear from her mind will go out, she will be able to form solid and firm feelings by herself instead of these amplified, volatile feelings given to her by the side-effects of the Serum.
....
I was now standing outside the door of Todoroki's Abode. I have been here once when Fuyumi and I decided to tell her family about our relationship. I clearly remember how Natsuo gave me the stink eye, Shoto was acting like Shoto and Endeavor rejecting me.
I also clearly remember my fight with Endeavor for the 'approval' and how I 'lost'. It was I who initiated the fight. I wanted to do that for two reasons,
First, Obviously the Approval. Endeavor saw me as a weak person when I told him I was Quirkless. So I wanted to show him my strength, to get the approval. Every father wants someone who can protect their daughter and Endeavor is not an exception. And if he really didn't cared about his family, then he would've broken all the relationships with them but he still calls them family.
At that time, Fuyumi cared too much for her Family and If Endeavor didn't approved of our relationship, She would always be hesitant to increase the intimacy.
Second, I wanted Endeavor to learn that his belief, that only Powerful Quirk Holders are meant to be strong, is completely wrong. I wanted to do this by defeating Endeavor. Being Defeated by a Quirkless guy would've been a good lesson for him.
But I intentionally lost to Endeavor, when I saw Natsuo and Shoto (maybe) cheering for Endeavor. Looking at the Todoroki Family united, even for a small time, made Fuyumi happy. So I chose to let the family celebrate their small reunion with Endeavor's Win.
I just used a 'Super Punch 30% Spartan Rage' in the end to create a wind pressure just before his face to let him see what power I hold. This completed my second objective partially as I didn't defeat him.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
I knocked on the door twice and waited for some time. I had a small bouquet of flowers in my hand which I hid behind my back. I watched this on various shows, where the guy gift their date with a bouquet when the girl opens the door.
So I thought I will also do the same. Since it's Valentine's, any cliche love act is acceptable and I will capitalize on this fact to gain some points as a good boyfriend. The plan is, When the door opens, I will quickly present the bouquet to Fuyumi. Simple and effective. How can anyone fail in this simple set of tasks.
When I was waiting outside, I heard sound of footsteps coming from the inside, which meant Fuyumi has come to open the door. I readied my hidden hand for the action.
*CLICK*
The door opened and I quickly stretched the bouquet in hand to the person who opened the door.
"Happy Valentine's Day." I said and presented the bouquet.
But my heart sank when the person who opened the door was not Fuyumi. My heart sank more when I saw the person who opened the door is none other than Enji Todoroki aka No.2 Hero Endeavor.
Endeavor looked at me with his always serious eyes. I had my hands still stretched towards him, presenting the bouquet. I looked at him with conflicted emotions.
'I thought after our fight in Hosu City and his declaration of the 'Crusade' on me, I will meet him in a battle or some verbal confrontation but I never expected that I will be presenting him a bouquet on Valentine's Day.'
I didn't wanted to meet Endeavor now or near future, as he is the one who is responsible for the delay of my plans. I wanted the Night Raid to make a public debut and quickly deal with High-level Villains, which would've increased our credibility among the masses and then we would've stepped onto the next part of Destroying HPSC's image throughout the country.
But because of his conference, my reputation has hit the ground and his invitation to other heroes to confront me, makes the Mission to deal with Villains and HPSC a bit more complicated, as now Night Raid will have to deal with Villains as well as Heroes who will be coming to apprehend us.
..
Endeavor looked at me and I looked at him. I took back my stretched hand and continued to look at him without blinking.
'Is he suspicious of me? I used the Super Punch during our spar and also used it to deal with the Hero Ambush. He may be a ball of pride and arrogance but his experience in Hero Work is nothing to scoff at. Maybe he saw the relation in the punches and associated Night Slash with me? But how could he saw my punches when he was unconscious?'
I was having series of questions in my head as I looked into Endeavor's serious eyes. But I got out of my thoughts when I heard Fuyumi's voice. I looked at Fuyumi who had only her head popped out of the door, with the rest of her body hiding behind the door and she said,
"Shido, I am getting ready for the dinner and it will take some time, so in the meantime why don't you talk with dad." Fuyumi shouted from her room and popped her head back inside the room.
I then again looked at Endeavor.
'After looking at him all this time, I can really say that his face without the flames, looks really creepy.'
"Come in." Endeavor said and walked inside. I followed him inside as I walked just behind him.
"So how's the hero business going?" I asked Endeavor in order to initiate a small talk with him.
"Good." He said without turning and continued walking.
"Found anything about Night Slash?" I asked again to start the small talk.
This time, Endeavor turned around to look at me with eyes filled with Vigilance. That question must have touched his sensitive point, as Night Slash defeating him in seconds is maybe the most hurtful thing to his pride till now.
"Any reason for the specific question?"
"Weren't you looking for Night Slash? Every News Channel covers this topic daily. This is a very big deal as the No.2 Hero to go after someone personally and made such a big conference and asking for help from other heroes, but they repeat the same thing over and over.
So I thought of asking the man himself, if you have anything new to know other than the news channels, like some leads, or suspects. It is a good feeling when you are ahead of everyone else, isn't it Endeavor-san?" I explained, I think this line of thought is same as any other civilian.
Even after explaining myself to Endeavor, He didn't relaxed his Vigilance entirely. I just shrugged when he looked at me with his vigilant eyes to pry more about me. It's not like he will find anything about me just looking at me and about connecting the punches of Shido Kanzaki to those of Night Slash's won't be that satisfactory either, Since I as Shido Kanzaki has not displayed the full strength of my punches or what I can do, while Night Slash has defeated 6 heroes alone.
And the most important fact, he was unconscious the entire fight, so he didn't even had a chance to see the punches in the first place.
Even If he had found something special about me during our fight, Endeavor would've already connected me and Night Slash and he wouldn't have just stay in his house, instead he would've charged on me with his 'Crusaders' without losing a moment of time.
..
We went into a room and he took a seat and gestured me to sit too. I complied and sat on the chair opposite to him. He still looked at me with serious eyes. After staring me for some moment, he took out a bottle of alcohol and a glass, he poured himself a glass and asked me if I wanted some. I refused his offer. He then picked up the glass and sipped from the glass.
'Maybe he was drinking earlier and I disturbed his drinking session and that's why he is giving me that looks.' I thought of a reason for Endeavor's serious look to me.
"Why did you lost to me during our spar? And if you say for the family's stability then let me tell you that this is not your family. So tell me your true motive behind that loss." He asked me, looking straight into my eyes. It seems Endeavor was not that happy about his 'fake' Victory.
"I did that for Fuyumi.."
"What does this have to do with her?" He asked. He is clearly adamant about knowing the answers from me.
In the anime, Endeavor remains frustrated and angry when All Might steps down as No.1 Hero, ultimately giving the position of No.1 Hero to Endeavor without any hard work. His Victory over me in the spar seems to be a similar situation for him, leaving him frustrated over the fact that he won not because of his strength because I chose to loose.
"Fuyumi wants her family together and she puts a lot of effort to make that happen, and when I saw her smiling face, cheering for you with her brothers at that I thought 'why not let them celebrate their small reunion with the win going to Todoroki Family?' And you see... it worked. Your family celebrated your win, even though it was just victory from a small spar."
Endeavor listened and just sat with his head low with the glass in his hands, in silence for some moment,
"Do you truly love her or are you trying to chase the money associated with her?" Endeavor asked.
It is true that Todoroki family is really rich as this is the family of No.2 Hero of entire Japan. So it was obvious that Fuyumi will also be rich. But I don't love her for her money, I already have {HESOYAM} for money. I have used {HESOYAM} so many times to heal me and that created a lot of money. So much money that I don't even know how much money I currently have.
"I love Fuyumi for who she is and not for the money and let me ask you this, from when did you started acting like a real father? I never you knew you had this side hidden under your serious and strict personality." I said in a mocking tone. He questioned my love for Fuyumi, so I will question his care for his family. He will surely go on fire on my question.
But instead of taking offence and getting angry, he raised his head and looked at me,
"I also didn't knew that I had this side. I thought I sacrificed all of this for my ambitions but when Fuyumi came to me and said she wanted me to meet her boyfriend.... I was a bit shocked by that.. My first thought was why she is saying this to me since she is an adult, she can do anything she wants.
But after she asked me to give you my approval. Everything became clear to me." He said and took a sip from the glass. He took some time to continue,
"Even if I forgot about them, forgot to care about them; Fuyumi still thought of me as her father and asked for my approval. So I acted like one and declined you directly but later approved after you showed strength and care about my family.
I thought they have never seen me as a Family but when Fuyumi asked me of my approval, I had to think again about my relationships with my family. And I saw how she always tries to hold the family together.
I never cared the family anymore since I thought 'It is already broken then what's the point on focusing on broken parts?', so I only worked on my ambitions and focused on training Shoto. But Fuyumi still worked somehow to join us together even if it's a bit but that's a lot for our family.
So I have decided that after solving Night Slash; I will focus on my family."
When I listened to whatever Endeavor just said, My mind turned into a busy train station, with Numerous trains of thoughts going inside my mind in one moment,
'Why is he telling all this to me? And why the realization and redemption part of Endeavor came so early than the anime.
He said he thought about his family when Fuyumi mentioned me. Did I again changed a part of the plot? But he seemed to be the ruthless Endeavor in front of the media in the conference. That means he just became a bit softer towards his family and he did not changed his overall personality. But this is also a speculation. What else did I changed?'
"But why would you tell me all this? As you said I am not a part of your family." I asked, I really wanted to know why Endeavor found me so trustworthy to share his personal thoughts on his family.
"I said, you are not the part of our family but 'yet'. After your visit to our house, I have seen Fuyumi just looking at the walls with a daze and a happy smile on her face or When she comes home, she always has a happy smile on her face many times, which is a bit unusual.
When Natsuo asked her about this, she said the reason for her happiness is a little girl that you've adopted. Fuyumi said the little girl acts like she is her daughter and she finds it very comforting and satisfying to act like her mother. She said she wanted a cute little daughter like her when she gets married. I happened to be present there and I heard what she said.
And If I am not wrong, you two are very close to each other .... and after adding the factor of your daughter's and Fuyumi's closeness to each other, I think it is not a problem to say that you two will marry each other in the future.
Since now you are 'going' to be a part of our family, I thought sharing my thoughts with someone close will be a bit helpful " He said and drank the remaining drink in the glass. He poured himself another drink.
"Even if I am going to become a member of your family in the future. That's only a possibility and how come you share all of that with someone who is not even a member of your family?" I asked.
"Yeah you are right.... It is just one of the reason I made to make my mind think what I am doing is the right thing... I am trying to justify this talk I am having with you to my mind... So, I just want to talk to someone and let it all out.
Natsuo hates me to his core, Shoto only obeys me during the training and ignores anything else. I don't want Fuyumi to be more burdened just after she found some happiness in her life. And Rei...." Endeavor stopped talking and drank the whole glass in one gulp.
"Rei is in a mental hospital where doctors advice me not to meet her... I cannot show my weakness to anyone outside the family..... therefore beside you... I don't have anyone to talk to....
And as I said, you are a father as well so you should understand what I am talking about right?" Endeavor poured another drink.
'I don't understand a bit of you Endeavor. In the conference you acted like you want to kill me the moment I appear in front of you and now.... you are acting like an old man who is trying to drink down his guilts with more and more alcohol. I don't understand a bit of you Endeavor...Not even a bit.'
Endeavor then stopped talking and focused on drinking. We sat there in silence, without sating anything. Only the sound of glass touching the table resounded the room from time to time.
'He seems a bit drunk that may be the reason he could say all those stuff out of his heart.'
After some time, I broke the silence.
"So, How are you feeling now?" I asked him.
"A bit better. Letting it all out really made me feel a bit lighter..... Thanks for listening." After that he just sipped from the glass and didn't said anything.
When I heard Endeavor saying thanks to me, I was stunned and didn't knew how to respond to that so I just remained silent. This talk made me feel more complicated.
'Yeah, it's all his fault. He abused them and now they don't care about him, isn't it natural. And why all of a sudden he wants to reunite with his family. It is you who created this mess for everyone and now you to make them forget everything that happened in the past and accept you. Isn't it very selfish of you.' That was one thought in my mind.
But there was another thought going on in my mind,
'But he is at least trying to resolve this mess, even if he created this. Acknowledging the fact that everything that happened is because of him is the first step and he has taken that step... Maybe he did the worst thing a father and a husband can do to his children and wife but he is at least trying to change. That doesn't make all his past actions as invalid but.... '
'GOD!!! I sound like a hypocrite. Why am I in this mess.' I pushed all these thoughts away and tried to make a final thought on this entire talk with Endeavor
'He is the Endeavor who has delayed my plans and is the reason behind the drop in my public Image. but... what are those plans and Public Image for... For hunting Villains right? but I do Vigilante work just for some spice in my life, as I have the power to do so.
And Endeavor is going to become my father-in-law. If I continue being a Vigilante, I will eventually have to fight Endeavor.... but is it worth it? This old man now just wants to reunite with his family.'
While I was lost in my thoughts,
"Shido, I am ready, Let's go or we will be late for the reservation at the restaurant." Fuyumi shouted from outside. I quickly got up from my seat and was about to leave the room but before leaving I turned to see Endeavor. He was sipping from his glass while looking at the table in a daze.
I then left the room and met Fuyumi who was standing outside the door. She was wearing a red short dress which matched with her red and white hair. She was simply looking stunning.
"You look absolutely stunning and marvelous." I just said whatever I had in my mind.
Listening to my compliment, she blushed and turned her head to other side.
"Don't waste time here complimenting me..... You can do that when we are... alone. Let's go. I don't want our first Valentine's date to be ruined just because we were late as you were busy complimenting me." She tried to scold me but the heavy blush on her face was not that something you should have when you are scolding someone.
I sighed at her antics and called for a taxi.
After entering the taxi, We sat on the back passenger seats.
During the ride to the restaurant, Fuyumi leaned on my body, rested her head on my shoulder and grabbed on of my arm and she hummed a tone.
It was all romantic but I had something else in my mind. I was still thinking about the talk I had with Endeavor. I finally made a final thought on this.
'Even if he is going to become my father-in-law, I don't care. He is trying to reunite with his family. I don't care. He is a hero and he is doing his job so what is stopping me from doing the same thing. I am doing my job, he is doing his. Even if I do this thing for some excitement in life but I am serious about this work.
The entire Night Raid depends on my decisions and existence; and I faltered with just a talk with an old man with family issues. I give Carl words of wisdom in GTA World and look at me here.
I just faltered from my motives even if it was for a moment.' I scolded myself for thinking that I need to stop doing Vigilante work. Maybe the reason to do this work is not that noble but the effects are more noble than most of the Pro-Heroes.
'Therefore if Endeavor becomes an obstacle to my plans....' I am now more determined to do what I have decided.
'I will have to deal with him properly not like the last time in Hosu City.'

Kapitel 66: Ruined Date and Information.
[Knuckleduster's POV]
Naruhata City.
The city with a fairly busy urban area but sometimes the city becomes very deserted. In the early of morning or the late of night the city becomes deserted. This is all due to the Expressway which opened 10 Years from now. That made the cars which use the local roads to travel have decreased drastically.
The city becomes a ghost town as there are no people outside on the roads during early or late hours of the day and there are no cars on the roads. And this is the best time for the Criminals to pop out of their hole and do their heinous deeds. The number of heroes present in the city has just decreased over the years after the rise of Vigilantes which happened 4 years ago.
The Naruhata Vigilantes, made by 3 people, were considered the main participants in the Trigger Incident of Naruhata City, played a major part in solving the Incident. The Incident was so big that Top players like All Might, Endeavor and even American Top-Hero Captain Celebrity, had to be involved to solve the Incident.
In the Incident, a surge of people with uncontrolled quirk appeared. These people were termed as Instant Villains and the reason behind the uncontrolled quirk was the contrabanded drug Trigger.
Trigger is used to amplify and increase the strength of the quirk but it has a side-effect, which makes the person lose a part of their sanity, thus making them act on their instincts without any second thought or any care about the damage they can cause.
Even if the Top-Heroes were involved to solve the case, they were not able to completely stop normal citizens and Villains from becoming Instant Villains which made the popularity of Heroes go down the hill and increasing Vigilantes' position in Public's eyes, who appeared to be more helping to the people than the heroes in the city.
But like everything which rose to the top, it also had to fall down. The Naruhata Vigilantes disbanded 2 years later the Trigger Incident curbed down. The three of us went on our own ways after the disbandment of the team. And one of them was me, Knuckleduster.
At that time, I started investigating the case on my own as my daughter was involved in it. But after a long time of investigation, I met them. My disciple and his girlfriend. We made the Naruhata Vigilantes to deal with Trigger Incident and now 4 years have passed. Time surely flies by.
Currently I am punching a criminal's head repeatedly while having these thoughts. Punching this guy makes me remember those old days.
'Heh. Nostalgic.'
I then threw the criminal to the ground where more of his friends are lying down. I didn't kill them or they would've been dead. These small-time criminals were about to break into a jewelry shop and I happened to be passing by, so I decided to give them a visit.
These were just small-time criminals so they were not that big of a problem to deal with them. But I want more tough enemies. I joined Night Raid to fight more tough opponents which I got within 48 hours of joining and I had to fight Kendo Rappa.
I knew Kendo Rappa from my Pro-Hero days, when he was just a underground fighter and I happened to be undercover. We fought at that time and he said I will be good fighter in the future, during the fight. I scoffed at his claim and won the match with calculated tactics and fast moves.
But after losing my quirk, I became a Vigilante and fought only with fists. I became the ferocious fighter he said I will become.
I met him again but under different circumstances. We were on different sides and one had to die. I was ordered by Night Slash to defeat Kendo Rappa and Kendo was ordered by Overhaul to kill me.
We fought. He was surely excited as he remembered me when I fought him after all these years. When I asked him how did he remember me even after all these years and he said,
'I remember a person by how they fight. And I remembered you as a fighter with great potential but stuck in calculations. Now look at you, You are what I said that day. You became a ferocious and fearless fighter like me, who wants to deal complicated things with the Violence of Fists.'
But after that a missile came and hit Rappa and exploded, shredding him to pieces and burning those shreds to crisp. The missile was launched by Night Slash.
It's not like I hate or resent Night Slash for killing Rappa but I still feel bad for the dead Rappa.
'At least he died in a battle like he wanted to.'
I sighed and left the area, as the place will be now be riddled with police.
....
I was now sitting on my couch, watching TV and drinking some beer. It was all good until my phone started ringing. I picked up the call after I saw the caller ID of the person who called me,
:: Hello Knuckleduster, It's been a while since we have talked like this. Don't you think? :: Voice came out of the phone.
"Don't beat around the bush Giran. I know you don't want to talk to me about my daily life or how am I now after the last time we met. So tell me.. What do you want?" I have no time to buy this guy's bullshit.
:: Heh still the same all-time serious Knuckleduster. And I thought you might have changed after all these years but... who cares. Yeah, I want to talk to you about something ::
"And what if I don't want to listen?" I already have no interest in whatever Giran had to say. At most it will be a product from the Underworld which I don't want and will never use even If I buy that.
:: Heh, Don't be so impatient. Listen first, who knows you might be interested ::
"Just say it. Don't try to create suspense. I don't have all day to waste on you and your stupid thing." I roared on the phone. This guy likes to stretch a simple conversation to speech.
:: Fine. Listen, Are you interested in Triggers.... ::
.....
After listening to what Giran said, I tried to call La Brava but her phone is busy so I called Danjuro.
:: Hello.. Knuckle-san? What happened? You usually don't call me... ::
"Make arrangements for a meeting. I am leaving Naruhata for Hosu right now. I will arrive there in 80 minutes." I said and rushed out of my house.
I 'borrowed' a car which was parked on the side of the road. I will return it later. After that, I drived towards Hosu City. While driving, I called Night Slash.
It came busy the first time, I tried again... this time the call connected.
:: Why are you calling me at this time? I am on a date, you old virgin ::
His comments always makes me want to smash his head on the ground and then repeatedly kick him when he is laying on the ground unconscious. And when he wakes up, kneels in front of me and begs for mercy, I will then Knee-bash his fucking head.
But I controlled these thoughts and replied.
"Come to Hosu as soon as possible, you little shit. I have arranged a meeting at Danjuro's apartment. I have something very important to discuss with you all and this includes you, Mr. Night Splash.
Leave your date, Because whatever you do, she will not let you smash as you sound so desperate for sex ... like a 25-year-old Virgin. So pack up and come to Danjuro's Apartment as fast as possible."
:: I am not a Vir.. :: He tried to say something but I just hung up the call.
'That was satisfying.' I thought and continued driving.
_________________________________________________________________
[Shido's POV]
'FUCK!!!' I wanted to throw the phone on the wall but I stopped myself. I am currently in the male restroom of the restaurant. I had to stop my date with Fuyumi because of this old man's call. But he said he has something very important to discuss with everyone and I don't think Knuckleduster will overexaggerate a small issue.
Then if he said something is important, then it is important. I decided to go to Hosu City.
I left the the restroom and went to the table I reserved for the dinner where Fuyumi was eating the main course. We arrived at the hotel at 7:15 PM, which was a little late than the time for the reserved table but luckily it was not booked by any other person so I had to book it again.
The reason we got late was obviously Fuyumi took too much time in getting ready but I didn't said anything to her because In the end, we got the table so... all is well.
I sat on the seat in front of her and started eating the main course quickly. Fuyumi looked at me and continued to eat her dinner. After I completed my main course, I took Fuyumi's hand in mine.
"Sorry Fuyumi..." But before I could say anything more,
"Vigilante Work?" She asked.
"Yeah..." I was feeling guilty as I had to interrupt our date for the work. Knuckleduster told to come urgently so it's not like I can complete our date and then go to Hosu City.
"Don't feel guilty about it, but just try to make it up later okay?" She asked with a smile to which I just nodded.
I paid the bill and we left the restaurant. While walking outside the restaurant, I was thinking about how to make up for today's date and then I had an idea.
"Fuyumi, come with me." I turned to her and grabbed her hand.
"To where?"
I did not replied to that and ran to a dark alley with Fuyumi.
"Why are we here Shido?" She asked me but I didn't replied.
I scooped down and picked Fuyumi in a princess carry. This shocked Fuyumi as this was so sudden and we are outside.
"What are you doing Shido? Somebody will see us."
I ignored her question and,
{AEZAKMI} - Disable Wanted Level [Cheat Activated]
{ROCKETMAN} - Spawn Jetpack [Cheat Activated]
I then fused my finger with her body, so {AEZAKMI} effect also affects her.
Fuyumi was shocked by so many things, First, a futuristic looking thing suddenly appeared on my shoulders, Second, I suddenly disappeared in front of her but she was able to somehow sense, Third, She felt a finger fusing with her body.
But before she could ask anything, I activated the Jetpack and we flew off to the sky with Fuyumi in a princess carry. Due to the sudden loss of ground, she quickly wrapped her arms around my neck and shouted with her eyes closed. But I don't think anybody will be able to hear her screams, as they are suppressed under the effect of {AEZAKMI}.
..
"Hey, Stop screaming and open your eyes."
Fuyumi complied and slowly opened her eyes but still screaming. When she completely opened her eyes and saw the view, she stopped screaming.
In front of her was the vast dark sky which is filled with stars which are scattered here and there in an unordered manner but it didn't reduce the beauty of the sky instead it increased the beauty of the sky with it's small glow, which can be considered insignificant in the sky but when they are scattered everywhere, it created a serene picture.
She then looked down and saw the city which is supposed enveloped in darkness of the night like the sky but the lights of varying colors counter the darkness at bay and make the city look like a bright spot in the world filled with darkness. She could see people going around, couples on their date, children with their parents, from above.
"Does this make up for the interrupted date?" I asked Fuyumi who is currently so mesmerized by the scenery that she was looking at all this in daze.
"It does.." She said in a daze.
"Really?"
When she heard my question, she shook her head and came out of her daze, she quickly replied,
"No... I mean it doesn't.. you need to make some more personal time for me to make up for the date."
"Okay. I will do that. But let me drop you to your house first." I said and controlled the jetpack to descend downwards.
"NOOOO... Take me to your house." She said and tightened her arms which wrapped around my neck.
"Why? Eri will be home tonight. So..." Before I could continue what I wanted to say. Fuyumi pulled my ear hard.
"Do you think I am horny dog who always wants sex? I thought it will be a good idea to spend a night with you and Eri, but it seems there is another dog who is in heat."
I ignored her comment and flew to the direction of my house.
...
"Expect me to come at around 12 AM. If you still feel hungry, there is some bento in the fridge, just heat it up and it will be ready to eat. Okay bye." I dropped Fuyumi at my house and told her some instructions. I then equipped Night Slash suit and left my house.
...
Knuckleduster was pacing back and forth in Danjuro's Apartment with Danjuro and La Brava could be seen sitting on the dinning table. Eri is currently in a room with her tablet as they didn't want a her to be involved in the talks.
I entered the apartment through the opened door of the balcony, deactivated {AEZAKMI} and stored the Jetpack in the Inventory.
"Well, Hello There." I greeted all of them.
"Quick, Take a seat." Knuckleduster said and took a seat. I did like he said and took a seat next to him.
"Okay, I am going to make a call, so just listen to whatever he says." Knuckleduster said and then called someone. He then placed the phone in the middle of the table and turned the loudspeaker on.
:: Hello? ::
"You can say what you said to me earlier. And you don't have to worry about anything. These are the people I can trust, so just say whatever you said to me, without any changes." Knuckleduster assured the man on the other side of the phone.
:: Since you insist then I will talk.... I have a information that I think you will be interested in ::
:: There is problem with the stocks of Trigger in the underworld. The number of Trigger in the black market is at the lowest since the introduction of Trigger in the Underworld ::
"Isn't that a good thing?" Danjuro pointed out.
:: And that is where you are wrong my friend. The raw materials of Tigger are being sold in bulk to the Trigger Producers. And the raw materials are so vehemently sold, that there is a shortage of the raw materials in the black market and they had to resort to importing them to meet the demand. Do know what that means? ::
"Someone is trying to horde the entire stock of Trigger in the black market and the producers of Trigger seem to have a deal with the same person, so they are making Triggers in full force for them. This means this person wants Trigger in a huge amount and very urgently." I said my conclusion.
:: Nothing less to expect from you, Mr. Erebus or should I call you Night Slash now. Well it was also surprising for me when I found my customer is a famous Vigilante. I was stupid that I didn't realized it earlier. It was so obvious.
You took a list of High-level Villains from me, they all died. Everybody calls it 'Villain Slaughter Week'. You took details about Shie Hassaikai from me and they are nowhere to be seen. Now everyone calls it 'Two-Explosion Incident of Hosu'.
And now look at you, You made No.2 hero to chase you around. I am proud to have such a customer... :: Giran said in his casual tone with no sincerity.
"Well. It was obvious, but I think you should continue with the information." I interrupted Giran.
:: Well, I will continue but at least meet me at my shop once after this, okay? It will be a good publicity for my shop... Then where was I?...
Yes, the conclusion.... Mr. Night Slash is correct. Someone is blocking the Triggers supply routes and claiming it all. And all the Triggers in the market were also bought in one transaction. The triggers which are now in the black market are just the leftovers.
And the thing is, the person behind all this is really powerful as they broke the equilibrium of the Underworld and they defied the rules of the Underworld as they made a direct deal with the producers without a middle-man from the Underworld who takes the position of a neutral party and there is no retaliation from the Top Dogs of Underworld. ::
"So much Trigger is being created under the nose of the government. What are they doing?" La Brava asked.
:: The government seems to have the same view as the previous thought that our friend presented here. They think it is a good thing that the Triggers are all-time low in the Underworld. The HPSC agents don't even know the news about the deal and the raw products' shortage.
The moment they reported the shortage of trigger, the HPSC started patting their own backs and celebrated it. They didn't even suspected of a conspiracy behind this ::
"It seems President Ige is really incompetent as the rumors said." I said as I remembered what Hawks said to me during our fight.
:: Yeah, she is.. But that's not the point we are talking here ::
"Are you sure it is not that Person wants the complete monopoly of Triggers in Japan, so they are creating the shortage and when the demand hits high, they will start selling them at high prices." I asked, as this also could be a possibility.
:: What I am going to tell you is the reason why this conclusion is wrong. ::
"What is it?" I asked,
:: I have received the news that the triggers which were bought and the to be-produced ones will be exported. If they wanted to really make a monopoly on Triggers then what is the reason to export the stuff unnecessarily ::
What Giran said is right, but there is something important I need to ask first,
"Exported to Where?"
:: ....To America ::
