A year later...

"Congratulations!" A man in his 50s, wearing an all black suit cheered for one of his younger agents, who he treated as his own children for the past years. "Shouto! You're now fully graduated from all this bullshit!"

Everyone laughed at clapped. It had been a hellish year as they worked with guns and blood alongside them. After all their hard work, they finally completed their mission after years.

"You all had done great, and you guys really deserve to have your freedom. We already told the other agencies targeting each of you about the secret mission you all had to do."

"I now announce freedom for all of you," the man smiled but held a glass of liquor up and said, "but let's all have a toast before we all go by ourselves."

They all chuckled and did as he said. After all these years, they treated each other like a big family. The man had a wife, and the wife even treated the boys as her own children, since she never had to get her own.

All the men inside the room held their glasses up high before gulping it down their throats. Some yelled 'hell yeah!' and the others stayed silent.

"Please do visit us sometime, my wife treated you all as her own sons and she would miss you all." He chuckled as he stood up and fixed the sleeves of his blazer.

"Of course I'll visit mama," Eijirou chuckled and held his car keys. "I treat her as my own mother as well."

"That's because you are the favorite," Katsuki said but all of them groaned.

"What? Am I wrong?"

"Totally, are you blind? You're like, mama's super favorite child out of all of us." Hanta said and everyone seemed to agree with him.

The man sighed and said, "I feel like you guys are going to visit me just for my wife."

"Good thing you know, old man."

Everyone laughed before they walked separate ways.

Shouto smiled as he sat on the driver's seat of his car. The year had been hellish, they had no freedom to do whatever they want.

Although they all knew it was going to be a nightmare, they still decided to go with the mission and here they are now. They played a big part in the country's safety and freedom.

Now that I'm done with all of this, time to settle down... which means..

During the long fight, he already decided to go after Momo. He wanted to say sorry for all the bad things he said to her, he was such a jerk and he only realized it when his friends told him after he told them his story.

But he's worried that he wouldn't find her. Japan's a big country and he doesn't know where to look for her. Maybe she even moved to a new country, he just hopes luck would side him and that he would find her soon enough.

Before that, he planned to go to the mall. Mashirao's daughter's birthday is today, and of course, he needed a gift for her.

So he drove to the mall and parked his car before walking inside.

He entered a baby clothing store. As he remembers, Mashirao told them that his daughter is turning 1.

The clothing shop was surprisingly big, it even had a second floor. All around the store were mothers, some had their babies on the stroller near them. There were barely men on the 1st floor of the shop.

If he did see one, they're either sitting on the bench or looking through clothing as well.

He looked at the clothing rack filled with clothing for newborns. Most of the clothing were colored white and had no designs printed on it.

Looking to another clothing rack, had some clothing frogsuits.

These clothing won't fit to 1 year olds. It looked too small and he saw the tag saying that it's for newborns.

Perhaps the clothing racks for 1 year olds and so are on the 2nd floor?

He looked around and all he saw were shoes. Small shoes and he smiled at the sight of it.

A thought then ran to his mind. When would he be able to shop baby clothes? Not for other babies for his?

To see a little one looking like him would bring the most joy to his life. Imagine a small person looking like him, being his mini me?

Then he would watch the person grow up to become a man or a woman someday.

The thought made him smile, it's all part of his plan. For him to build a family of his own. But before that, he would need to find a wife. And Momo is the one he's targeting to marry.

People looked at him, a man wearing all black clothing and had a gloomy aura around him is inside a baby clothing shop and smiling on the sight of baby clothes.

He stepped on the escalator and all the stares he felt lessened. Did he really looked like the type who would not go inside shops like this?

The escalator stopped and he stepped on the tiled floor. It looked wide as the 2nd floor was full of clothing racks of children's clothing.

The clothes were bigger than the rest downstairs. He walked towards the girls section of the 2nd floor and started to look at the dresses.

He found a nice looking dress and he picked up some accessories to pair with it. As he was choosing a pair of shoes to match the dress he chose, he heard a very familiar voice from the other side of the rack.

"This or this? Hmm.."

He looked up and saw a black haired woman on the other side of the rack. He was waiting for the woman to stand up so that he could see her face, but when she did, he felt the world around him stop.

"Momo?"
