章節 42: Family Time... {EDITED}

[POV Reo]

As soon as I opened my eyes I was engulfed in a tight hug, I didn't need to open my eyes to know who the person was. I could feel the hot tears on my skin.

"Mom, I am ok" I squeaked out but she didn't let me go, a few seconds passed when she reluctantly let me go. I really felt guilty for worrying them so much but it was the only chance I could think of.

"I was so worried... please don't do that ever again" my mom said still holding my hand.

"I won't... don't worry. Everything is fine now" I tried to reassure her but it was useless.

"When I heard the news a-about your abduction I just broke down. I-I t-thought I lost you, I don't know if I could ever go through that again" my mom said.

"I am sorry... I know apologizing won't do anything, now the only thing I know is that the person who was responsible is gone..." I said while smiling at her.

Seeing me talking about the incident she decided to change the topic.

"The doctor said you are completely fine, so we can leave if you want" my mom said wiping away her tears.

"Where are the others?" I asked Mom I could feel several people just outside the door, hearing me a realization struck her.

"Ah... The doctor told me to call him when you wake up. The others are outside" my mom said getting up. She walked to the door and as soon as she opened the door the room was immediately filled in.

The new occupants were my dad, Momo, Momo's mom and dad, and Nemuri. Damn... now how the hell I am gonna introduce her to my family. It's not like I am ashamed of her but I am sure my mom would have a stroke if she didn't learn it already and already had a stroke.

The only thing I can hope for now is the Nemuri restrains her 'philosophical ways' in front of my mom. My mom gave Nemuri a look before going out of the room.

I was pulled into another hug by Momo, I saw the sad face Nemuri was making. Well, my family is already going to find out so I don't think that I need to hide it anymore. I gestured Nemuri with my other hand, seeing that her face lit up like a Christmas tree, and she jumped into my embrace.

I looked around the room and my dad was making an odd face while Momo's parents were completely fine, like it was natural. I don't think this is normal right? It shouldn't be normal right? Momo and Nemuri finally let me go and I decided to ask some questions.

"How long was I out?" I asked looking at Momo.

"Something like 26 hours... but the doctor reassured us that you were fine, just exhausted" Momo said with a gentle smile on her face.

"So, am I in trouble with the heroes or police?" I asked.

"No, some Heroes think that you should have waited because All Might was already there, you don't have to worry about them. They are the ones who feel sour because a student gained more popularity than them" this time it was Nemuri who answered my question.

"The police just wants to ask some questions" it was Momo's dad who answered.

"Oh... ok" I was about to lay down on my bed but the door opened and a doctor came in along with my mom. He told everyone to leave.

After the tests were done, I was allowed to leave but the doctor asked me to wait because the police were on their way here. Soon the police arrived, it was detective Naomasa Tsukauchi and along with him came Yokumiru Mera, he was from Public Safety Commission, I wonder why he is here. I greeted both of them and they finally took seats beside my bed.

"Now, you don't have to worry, we understand that you killed All For One in self-defense so you won't be charged for that. I just wanted to ask some questions for the official report" Naomasa said before asking any questions. I nodded my head, then he began asking questions.

It was mostly related to who were the one who kidnapped me, then he asked me to give their descriptions. Well most of them were already dead for maybe except Dabi, I don't know what happened to that bastard. When Naomasa's questions ended Mera finally decided to speak.

"You already know that I am from Public Safety Commission, not let me tell you what we do. We are the people responsible for authorizing Provisional Hero License or Hero License, all of us were surprised how easily a student fought against one of the supervillains and how you handled the situation. Due to this both Hero Association and Public Safety Commission have decided to give you this" Mera spoke and handed me a card. Wow... at least now I don't need to take Provisional Hero License Exam.

He handed me a Provisional Hero License with my name on it. "You did a great service to the people of Japan. I know it wasn't an end how a Hero should defeat a villain but you didn't have much of a choice" Mera spoke. I spoke some more with both Naomasa and Mera but it wasn't anything related to official business.

After they left the room, I changed into civilian clothes which my mom had brought along with her. While leaving the hospital I received several good wishes from the passerby's. My dad handed me my phone, the notifications were filled with miss calls and texts.

I called all of my friends and told them I was fine. I was cursed by Denki because I stole his future harem from him. I don't even want to know how he reached that conclusion. When we finally reached home I was made to sit on a couch while the others sat opposite to me. Momo sat on my right side while Nemuri was on my left.

"Son, please explain what is your relationship with her?" My mom asked me while looking at Nemuri. I looked at everyone's reaction and it was clear that they already knew what my relationship with her was but they wanted to hear my confirmation.

"...Mom, I am dating her" that was enough, my mom's eyes rolled up, and passed out in my dad's arm. I expected that, I then turned my eyes towards Momo's parents to see their reactions.

"Don't worry about us, even though we are not fine with it but it's not our decision to make. Momo has talked to us and she said she was fine with it" Momo's mom cleared my doubt.

"It's pretty common in high-class families or some old families in Japan, so it won't be a problem" Momo's dad also decided to give in his thoughts about the matter.

After some time my mom woke up and looked around and immediately became depressed (anime-styled) and started to make circles on her thigh. My father just coughed in his hands to gather everyone's attention.

"Well... even if it is most unusual... but I would still like to tell you that you are welcome in our family" my dad said and nudged my mom.

"Yes... what my husband said" she said still in her depressed mode and continued making circles. It was clear that she wasn't happy about this.

"Reo, you must be hungry. Why don't we enjoy a nice and relaxing meal?" Momo's dad decided to change the topic completely, I was completely fine with that. Everyone immediately agreed, Momo's mom and dad took us to their house for the meal.

During the meal, we spoke about a lot of topics until I pulled out my phone and showed pictures of bloated Momo to her mom, which made her squeal in joy and earned me a death glare from Momo. At first, she was dumbfounded about how was I able to click her pictures.

Momo's mom was so happy and excited that she immediately demanded the pics so she can store them in her Momo album. By that time Momo was completely embarrassed. I was so glad that Nemuri didn't speak about her 'philosophical ways'. Nemuri looked really happy because this was the first time she came to know how having a family felt.

She kept pestering my mom who was almost scared of her now. But when Nemuri started calling my mom as mom and she shivered like a cat doused in water.

"Don't worry mom, I will prove myself that I am worthy of being your daughter-in-law" Nemuri declared after the meal. That made my mom sulk in corner of the room. This made everyone laugh except my mom and Nemuri, Nemuri stood too proud while my mom was drawing circles in the corner with her finger.

Throughout the whole day, we had a lot of fun along with our family. Nemuri told me that the UA staff knew about our relationship, they were fine with it as long as we kept it a secret. Both Momo and Nemuri indicated that they knew that I allowed myself to get caught, I needed to coax them too... it was really nice to spend a whole day relaxing with family and loved ones...
