I Don't Run An Orphanage!

Chapter 44: Q and A part 2

Okay, so in the last chapter, it was supposed to be from the perspective of the viewers watching Kiba's stream. So you couldn't hear Yonda.

However I kinda regret that a bit, so for this, you will see what she's saying to everyone, but of course, the people watching the stream in-universe won't.

"Alright, next question." Izuku moved on.

As Izuku looked through the chat, there were a couple questions that kept popping up. Such as people asking about his age and about his own quirk. These questions he didn't have any intention of answering.

However, one question he wasn't sure about that kept popping up was this.

What were your lives like before getting adopted?

This was a VERY loaded question. However, what kept Izuku from dismissing it outright, was the fact that kids like Eri and Kioku weren't present.

Most of the kids here had pretty much accepted their pasts and were willing to move past them. With the exception of Yonda, but he could always just not have her answer.

"Caretaker!" Kiba once again snapped Izuku back into reality. "You froze again."

"Oh right sorry!" Izuku quickly apologized, before looking back at the chat to see the question kept popping up. He took a few more seconds to decide whether or not to ask it, and in the end, he thought that leaving it to the children was the best way to go about it. "So you kids don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but...what were your lives like, before I adopted you?"

That question had varying reactions.

Kai, Shiruku, Otoko, and Netsu didn't have any notable reactions. If anything they seemed a little confused as to why anyone would want to know about that.

Kiba also seemed confused, and a little upset and uncomfortable. But not overly so.

Fu kept his typical deadpan expression. To be expected.

Sansan, for just a second, actually froze, before she started moving again, and even then she looked a bit less ecstatic.

Kei seemed unaffected. About what Izuku expected from her.

Yonda on the other hand was just...sad. The look of sadness on her face made Izuku regret asking it almost immediately.

Why do I have the feeling they have a range of backstories that go from Bad to Worse.

I feel bad for asking.

Ouf.

"Like I said none of you have to answer if you don't want to." Izuku reiterated.

"I'll answer," Kei spoke up, before looking at the camera. "I don't remember much of my life before my quirk, but I think it was good. But after I got my quirk...the people taking care of me didn't want me anymore, because my quirk was a problem. So they threw me out of the house and told me to never come back."

Fucking shitty parents!

Goddamn it I hate people sometimes!

Oh, this is taking a dark turn.

We asked for it.

Red Riot: Not manly! If you have a kid, then you have to take responsibility! You can't just kick em out when things get hard! And if you are gonna give them up, give them to an orphanage or something! Don't just leave them out on the streets!

"After that, I lived on the streets for a while. I can't control my quirk, so a bunch of accidents kept happening and I turned people to stone when I didn't mean to." Kei continued in a somber tone. "And people kept calling me a monster, and said that I was hideous, and they said lots of mean things."
