Capítulo 12: Mascot Acquired
Himiko looked to Oliver for a long moment, before she began to speak, a long-winded story of how it was fine until her quirk appeared, the abuse, the way they pushed her to the side, how they pretty much treated her like trash now, how they blamed the father getting fired on her because his boss somehow found out he was housing a villain, how she was abused.
The ladyboy? Struggling to keep that smile on his face, it was only for the small girl, and his Boss that he could keep his quirk going, his quirk may be the only thing keeping her from breaking down, but even with his quirk, sometimes she would choke a sob out.
After Tomoki had got everything solved and started to pay attention, the rage was building up, his hands clenching and unclenching, a story like this hit a personal chord with him, Oliver noticed it as well.
Oliver also noticed the very clear sounds of someone being beaten, but he kept the conversation going, either by himself or having Himiko speak out. It was after another long-winded talk that Oliver spoke.
"Himiko, would you like to be taken from this place? To be taken to a place where you'll have a big family to take care of you, spoil you, and get you the help with your quirk that you need?" He waved a hand towards the Ladyboy, the moment he did the other turned his head away, his smile still present, but it was far scarier. Hearing Himoko had brought up some bad memories, something Oliver would need to address in the future.
When the quirk's effect ended, Himiko seemed to slowly understand what was going on, and the first thing she did was burst into uncontrollable tears, throwing herself forward and into Oliver's chest, which he tightened his arms around her and held her firmly. With ease he lifted her up off the floor and held her while she cried, he cared not for his suit.
He walked into the main hallway as he held her like he was carrying the world, looking down the hallway he looked to the faces of his subordinates... No, his family. Oliver, without knowing it right away at the time, made a choice that would come to massively change him, if for the better, or for the worse, all depended on which side of him you found yourself on.
He looked at them, and he made a simple gesture, using his thumb and quick movement across his throat above Himiko's head.
Would it be a possible bad thing to see four grown men have the looks like they just got free tickets to the next baseball game when he just told them to kill someone? Possibly in a different scenario, but right now. He could tell not a single one of them questioned his choice at all.
With that he carried her outside and into the car, with the roof down he held her on his lap, smiling to her as she started to calm down slightly, enough to be able to look at him as she began to babble.
''What about my clothes? What will I wear? What about school? What about my d-." She was silenced as Oliver pulled her into him once more, speaking lowly just to her.
''Don't worry, we'll take you to get prettier clothing, we'll let you get all the dresses, all the pretty skirts, all the hoodies or boyish clothing you want. We'll make you a Princess, you don't need to worry about school for a bit, your Dad will be dealt with in return for letting us take you calmly."
He slowly pets her head, as he did more tears came to her eyes, they fell freely as she just let all the emotion continue to flow.
Soon the rest joined him, Ko getting into the driver seat as they drove away, none of them spoke about what transpired, but Oliver trusted them enough that they handled it properly, he brought the ones he did for a reason, after all.
Everyone got a turn to introduce themselves and interact with Himiko, in which Oliver learned the ladyboys name was Alex, a strange name especially in japan, but he was Oliver, so could he really judge?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a few days since they had stolen the Princess and brought her to the 'Castle'. Which she loved to call the bar and the place above, when they showed up with Himiko, pretty much everyone immediately accepted her as the new cute face they'll see running down the halls, sprinting around and enjoying herself in her own castle.
To let everyone know, Oliver had held a meeting to discuss what happened, and the general response? Was anger, many yelling about how they wish they could've been there to get their hands on the man themselves, and due to the colorful tongue, he was glad that Alex had taken Himiko out shopping for a whole new wardrobe to go with her, a rather eccentric bedroom. A girly mix between cute, and dangerous goth.
Oliver then discussed using their extra funding to help build an orphanage that would take in similar cases like Himiko and give them a proper place to learn and grow, Oliver made sure all of them understood that the ones raised there would ONLY be allowed into the Kings once they became adults and knew exactly what they would be getting into.
This was met with a wave of reconditioning, only further setting Oliver's already high throne even higher as all of them looked up to him even more.
Even now their business was moving in a great direction, using the technology he was setting up international trade, as well as using his knowledge of a well-developed future to help agriculture and other living things to help farmers of all kinds, bringing in even fresher produce in all of Japan and closer countries.
Himiko especially loved the fresh pomegranates as they came in they all found out, so they set aside a 'Princess Tax' as they took to calling it.
So the money was free to be used and in Olivers more private business.
He was finding out what that black card was, while also slowly discovering that he might already have ties in a criminal underground, namely. A well-known bounty hunting family, at least. Who used to be well known.
