Chapter 26: Preparation For Exams... {EDITED}
[POV Reo]
Shortly after that, our impromptu date was over. We exchanged our contacts and went our own ways. To be honest... I didn't completely like Nemuri's personality but I still want to go on a date with her so I could know her. Going on a few dates won't hurt anyone... at least I don't think so. If she isn't someone loyal... then at least, I would come to know about her true personality.
So after getting all the snacks Momo asked me to buy. I finally returned to the Yaoyorozu compound. I dumped all the snacks in their kitchen before heading towards our house. I entered the house and saw mom and dad were getting ready to leave.
"Umm... where are you going?" I asked curiously. I have never seen them dressed so nicely except for some nice & important functions.
"Your father is invited to a marriage reception, so it will be only you for tonight" my mom said in her normal voice. I immediately got excited that I might be able to get Momo here.
"Ooh... have a nice time both of you" I said with a happy and cheering voice. That seemed to tick my mom off for some reason. Her face immediately became serious.
"Now that we are leaving you don't need to sneak out of our house to visit Momo at night..." my mom said while placing her hand on her cheek.
She knew?? How the hell did she know? "How did you know?" I squeaked out.
"The way Momo was walking right after the Sports Festival told me a lot" my mom said with a stern face. Damn...!! I guess my luck ran out right after I got a date with Nemuri. I looked over to dad who was looking in the other direction. I followed his sights and he was checking the flower vase... damn! He is skillfully ignoring the conversation.
"Uhmm..." I guess not saying anything is the best I could do now. Mom didn't bother me anymore and became cheerful the next instant and left the house pulling dad along with her. After they finally left I heaved a sigh... damn!! Moms are pretty dangerous. At least she wasn't angry... it was just awkward.
Let's forget all this stuff and I should go and train for today. So what should I do today? ...Oh yes, I know. After taking a quick shower I went to the training area and started to try generating electricity. Momo had already explained to me how to do it right after the Sports Festival but I didn't have time since the internships started.
After 45 minutes of trial and error, I was finally able to make some decent-sized lightning bolts to dance around my fingers. I had seen Denki use it like this so I have followed his example. The electricity didn't harm me as I had thought previously. But my lightning was definitely different from Denki's... not just the color but my lightning seemed to be more erratic.
I need more practice before reaching any conclusions. It could be due to many reasons for the erracticness of my lightning. Denki played with his Quirk since he was four and I just for 45 minutes. Obviously, my control would be whacky, my lightning color is also blue unlike the yellow of Denki's.
First I need to control my lightning if I want to use my lightning. After practicing for two more hours, the quantity of my lightning increased but they kept becoming wilder and wilder. I finally decided that this was enough for today when I remembered about my detention with Momo-sensei. After a perverse giggle and skipped back to my house.
I checked the places where mom would leave food for me usually the fridge or table but finding nothing I didn't bother anymore and took out instant ramen from the cupboard. Ahh... I have to say that ramen is happiness... damn... I am becoming like the knuckle-head shinobi. My dinner was quite short because Momo sent me a pic of herself dressed like a teacher. I ate the ramen so fast that some would say that I inhaled them.
Like other days I sneaked into her room and saw her standing over the bed with a stern and serious face. I gulped hard when she slightly leaned, this made her shirt to stretch, putting a lot of pressure on the buttons on her chest... I gulped once again.
Well, it was an awesome night for us. Our first night together was inexperienced but it was still the best and always remain the best. Tonight just came after that. After being done with our nightly activities, we finally went to sleep.
The next day, on the way to school, I told Momo about my improvements in lightning and she also agreed that first I should work on the control before I try to increase the output of the lightning. After that I told her about my meeting with Nemuri, I kept my eyes on her face to see how she reacted but surprisingly she didn't seem to mind. It's not like she was hiding her true feelings about it. Being with Momo for so many years, I have learned to read her feelings or mood.
"You look surprised that I don't mind?" Momo asked me.
"Well yes... aren't you jealous or angry??" I asked Momo.
"No, I was the one who told you to search for another girl or rather woman... so why would I get angry? But be careful, she could be plotting something from what you told me" Momo said. Honestly, I had also thought that after our impromptu date was done. If she was planning to seduce me then it won't work. If she plans to kidnap me then she can kidnap me... only for this kind of reason, I have hidden about my powers. But I don't think that she would try to kidnap me...
The school was pretty boring as we didn't have any special classes today related to Hero training. The school was finally over and several of us were gathered outside the gates.
I looked at the group and saw Toru, Mina, Jiro, Denki, Eijirou, Hanta, and Mashirao. Well, Momo-sensei had to work hard it seems. While joking and laughing we finally reached in front of the Yaoyorozu compound.
"Guys this is my home" Momo said and turned around to see the whole group had frozen stiff while their jaws were on the floor.
"Hey, Reo what's up with them? They look pretty shocked" Momo asked me, she was completely clueless. I tagged this as rich people's stuff and decided to store it away.
Finally, it seemed that they were coming out of their shocked states.
"Damn...!! Life is so unfair!!" Denki screamed and plopped on the ground while crying anime-style.
"Uhmm... Momo, are you sure it's okay for us to come?" Mina asked somewhat nervous.
"Ooh... it's completely fine. Let's go!" Momo grabbed her hand and dragged her to the gates. The rest also nervously followed her. Momo was very very excited because this was the first time she brought friends to her home. She led us through the halls, all of the group except me and Momo were completely gobsmacked.
We finally arrived at a huge room which had a huge table with a lot of chairs.
"What is this room?" Jiro asked.
"I exactly don't know... we never used it. I got it cleaned yesterday for our use" Momo said it like it was the most normal thing in the whole world. This shocked the guests again but Momo didn't seem to notice.
"All of you get yourself comfortable... ask Reo if you want to know something" Momo said and skipped out of the room. She seemed like she was on the moon.
"H-Hey Reo, she seems much more cheerful than ever?" Toru asked me.
"Yes, this is the first time she had brought friends home, it's like a dream come true for her" I answered her. All of us settled down. The others sat down a little carefully, not wanting to damage or scratch anything. I chuckled slightly seeing them.
"Dude, weren't you her friend? So she didn't bring you here when you were small?" Eijirou asked me.
"I live here so I don't count according to her" I answered, this again seemed to shock the group. The girls started to blush after hearing me, by girls I meant Jiro and Mina... Toru is a girl too but her face is kind of invisible so she doesn't count. I looked at the guys, they also seemed to flush slightly, while Denki looked proud. Ooh... now I got it, they are thinking that we live together.
"Oh no... we don't live together. My house is also in the Yaoyorozu compound. My mom works in their kitchen so they have given us a flat in their compound" I told them. That seemed to get rid of their misunderstanding but it seemed that they wanted to ask more questions about that. Before they could ask, Momo entered the room followed by some maids. All of them brought trays filled with snacks, after putting the trays down the maids left the room.
Again I looked around the room and everyone seemed to be frozen again with their jaws on their floor. After that, we didn't have any more interruptions and Momo started to help us with our studies. We had a nice time while studying together. When it was finally dark outside, they decided to leave and come back tomorrow.
"Dude, see you tomorrow" Denki said and did a fist bump with me.
"Same dude" Eijirou also did the same kind of fist bump with me before walking away with Denki...
