"Speaking" 'Thinking' ~Pico~ -Text-

The rest of the day was fairly simple, the teachers introduced them to the classes they'd be taking and what they'd be like. Izumi was already fairly smart, it came from her father's side. Even Izuku was pretty smart. One teacher she couldn't help but enjoy though, was Midnight. She seemed to fawn over her and Momo's uniform design. She enjoyed the appreciation of their work. Though Momo was the one that created them.

She enjoyed a nice lunch with Momo and a few others that seemed to congregate around them. After a few more classes it was finally the end of the day. In which she waited outside for her ride. Izumi was surprised as soon as she came out of the school Ameonna was waiting and was standing on the outside of the car.

"Hmm? Ameonna-san, how come you're here? I thought big brother was picking me up." Izumi asked the woman. Ameonna sighed and opened the car door.

"Izuku is currently inside picking up Pico. I've been waiting here for them to return." She informed her. Izumi nodded and got into the car, she took out her phone and noticed that Momo had texted her.

- Izu-chan, I just ran into your brother, I'd watch out, he seems to be in a bit of a bad mood...- Izumi frowned at that, she was going to get out of the car to find her brother, but as soon as she went to open the door Ameonna opened the front passenger door. Izuku got into the car and right after him Ameonna got Pico situated into a small car seat to her side. Izuku really did seem to be in a bad mood, she wanted to ask why, but she thought better of it, no doubt it had something to do with the family business...

- Earlier that morning - With Izuku -

Izuku had said goodbye to Izumi and Ameonna this morning, waving them off after warning Izumi not to get into any trouble. Shiaru talked to him about this new bartender he was placing inside the casino. A few others had been hired as well, but they were instead placed in the multitude of bars, where as this Yaza fellow was apparently more trustworthy then the others.

Hiromi had handed him a few different files on people she'd been looking into for the casino. All of them seemed alright, security wise though he wasn't sure if he really wanted to place others in that position. A bartender was fine, but when you have outsiders being placed as protectors you never know if something will go sideways or leak out.

He sighed as he looked through the folders. He nodded and placed them on the table for them to continue the conversation. The bars were picking up fame quite easily, but a lot of trouble was circling on the inside and dark side of their work. According to a few somewhat trusty people, a few heroes have been looking into their sudden business interest. Though the reason behind it couldn't possibly be revealed since only those with an invite could ever even dream of getting inside the Casino, but even still it was an annoying thought that heroes were already poking their nose into places they don't belong.

Izuku rubbed at his temple and nodded. "Gray still hasn't really been discovered as a Casino's informant or anything, but it's still best that you take more precaution on who you hand out the cards to, I know this makes your job harder, but it's for the best." Shiaru told him. Izuku huffed once more, it was hard finding people he found worthy to begin with. Those that were just evil enough, but were also tight lipped were pretty hard to come by. People like that were usually heavy underground instead of simple petty thieves...

"Anyway, enough business talk, Izuku you've managed to accumulate quite a bit more points, normally I'd ask if you'd like to just transfer it into money or draws, but you've also already got a lot of those. So instead, I believe it's time we introduce you to another one of us. Another god of the Casino." Shioru told him. Shiaru simply groaned. Izuku stared at them in confusion and more so worry at Shiaru's annoyed tone.

"There's more of you?" Izuku asked her. Shioru chuckled. 

"There are a whole lot more of us then you think kid, this is a large system after all, it wouldn't make sense if there wasn't more of us. Shiaru's just annoyed at which one will be appearing first." Shioru told him. Izuku felt a pit in his stomach. He wasn't sure he could handle more of them, Shioru was hard to handle as is.

"You know I can still read your thoughts right..." Shioru told him. Izuku choked and coughed at her words before turning his head to the side in an attempt to hide.

"Whatever, now then, let's get to the Casino so she can appear." Shioru told him. Izuku realized what she said and groaned along with Shiaru at the mention of another woman.
