Chương 20: 20 Todoroki Family 2

Two years have passed since they left their birth home, and to their surprise, their father was in front of their grandmother's home, just standing there, not knowing what to do.

Seeing her husband outside, Rei went out and said, "What do you want?"

"….."

"If you are here just so that you get your license back, you can go back."

"Look, I know what I've done to you was wrong, and I want to mend our broken relationship. And be a better father to our kids's."

"No failures anymore?"

"I'm sorry, okay. I lost my family when I tried to make my kids achieve something that I couldn't. I've been blinded by my obsession. And because of that, I've hurt you all. I'm asking for your forgiveness, but you don't have to believe me that easily. Stay here and let me visit a couple of days a week. That's all I have to say."

Rei was silent for a minute when she asked her kids, who were hiding behind the door, "What do you say, kid?"

""We can do that.""

"You heard the kid's. So you can visit us two days a week. But don't think that this changes anything; until we forgive you, you are guilty."

Enji just nodded and turned back to leave, but he was stopped by an ice wall right in front of him, and he heard Rei say, "You're already here, so come inside and talk with the kids."

Two years have passed since Enji visited them. And from that day on, Enji was able to mend his broken relationship with his wife and kids step by step. He didn't miss out on Touya joining the U.A., even though he knows that using too much of his quirk can lead to his death. Enji recommended Touya for the entrance exam, and he was able to be first in the recommendation exam.

After he entered U.A. Rei, the kid's family moved back to the Todoroki household. The first thing Touya did was find out about where Haruto would be, but to his bad luck, he found the death certificate of a kid named Haruto Nakamura. When he dug deeper, he realised it's the same kid who changes his life for the better. But he loved it first, but after talking with his mother, she said, "This is most probably a fake one made by bribing the authorities. Most of the time, it must be done by his parents if what you said is true."

Hearing his mother say that ignited the flames of hope in him, and he tried to find out about where Haruto might have gone. But because of the nature of the Kageyama couple, they didn't leave any clues behind to find them, so his search for his little friend was put on hold.

And now, eleven long years later, he found him. His little friend has grown into a handsome teen, and he has a sister now from the same parents who abandoned him due to being quirkless. And thanks to his adoptive parents, the Kageyama couple, he was able to meet his sister, and to Touya's surprise, he has a quirk now, and he's studying with his youngest brother, Shoto, at U.A. So he called his sister to inform her of this happy news. But after saying who he is now, the line got disconnected. Sighing, he looks back and says to no one in particular, "Long time no see, friend."

----------------------------------------

At the Todoroki house, inside a room, we can see Fuyumi just sitting on her bed in a daze. Just now, she disconnected her call with her elder brother. He called her to inform her that he found out about the kid that he's been searching for all these years. But she didn't expect that; the person who changed her brothers and her family's lives, as well as her boyfriend, was the same person.

Now she understood why she was attracted to him. His name and his features were almost the same as what her brother said; from the day she heard about him from her brother, she's been thinking about that kid the whole time. And after meeting him at the bakery, she frequently compared him to her elder brother's little friend. That caused her to fall in love with him and become his girlfriend.

Thinking that it's best to talk it through, she decided to call him and picked up her phone and called him.

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring*

A couple of rings later, a person picked up the phone. "Hello~"

"Hello Hana, where's your big brother?"

"He's bathing."

"Okay. When he gets out, can you tell him to call me?"

"I can. But next time, you have to buy me ice cream."

"I will. Thank you, Hana. Bye."

"Bye~"

After disconnecting the call, she relaxed a little bit. A second later, her mother entered her room and asked, "What's the sudden urge to call him at home?"

"MOM!! You scared me!!"

Giggling Rei looked at her daughter and said, "It's alright. Now answer my question."

"Ah…. You do remember the kid Touya takes about way back, right?"

"Mmmmhm, I do remember. What about him?"

"Well, it turns out my boyfriend and Touya's little friend are the same person." Fuyumi told her mother in a whisper since her two brothers were in the house.

Looking at her daughter, Rei said, "That's a surprise. But what did that have to do with the phone call?"

"I wanted to talk to him about this."

"Over the phone?"

"Yeah. What is it not good?"

"Well, in my opinion, it's best to meet him in person and talk. So my advice is to ask him to meet up with you at his bakery after his classes are finished."

"Okay, mom, I'll do that." As she said that, the phone rang, and Rei, seeing who the caller was, told her daughter, "Don't worry, just ask him out." Saying that she left her room.

"Hello, Hana told me to call you. What's up?" That was the first thing she heard when she picked up the phone.

"Well. Are you free tomorrow after classes?"

"Yeah, I'm free."

"Can I meet with you at your bakery at seven o'clock?"

"Yeah, we can meet. What happened?"

"Nothing. I'll talk to you later." Saying that she disconnected the call.
