I Don't Run An Orphanage!

Chapter 65

Regret

Okay, first before the chapter starts I need to reiterate what actually happened in Eri's backstory because some people seem confused.

Eri was living peacefully with her mother and father when her quirk developed and accidentally killed her dad.

Her mother then called her a monster and said her quirk was cursed, before giving her to her grandfather, who was the leader of the Yakuza.

The boss then gave her to Overhaul to study her quirk, not realizing that Kai was a complete psycho who was going to cut her open and do horrible experiments on her.

Overhaul then took over the Yakuza and made Eri's life a living hell.

Also, one more thing. Did you guys forget that Overhaul is freaking DEAD!? Like I see people wondering if Overhaul is gonna break out or do anything, He's dead guys. I killed him, I think in either chapter 2 or 3.

Alright, we're all caught up, well. Now onto the chapter

Momo looked at Izuku with concern, as the boy just stared at the orb with a dark look on his face.

The silence in the room was suffocating, and Momo was left wondering what exactly the situation was about.

However, after a couple of minutes, Izuku lifted his head and looked at her. "I'm going to take a few Grimm and step out...make sure that no one follows me."

"Um, you haven't fully recovered, is that really a smart thing to do?" Momo asked him.

"I'll be fine," Izuku said, his voice was devoid of any emotion, but his eyes showed an anger and mistrust that she had never seen before. "Don't tell anyone where I went. Especially Eri."

Whatever this was about. It was VERY serious business.

"O-Ok," Momo said.

Izuku turned back to the Seer and spoke to Tsuma. "Wait there...I'll come to you."

XXXXXXXXXX

Tsuma wasn't sure how much longer she could hold her nerves steady.

Being stared at by the beady red eyes of these...things was intimidating even if she was fairly certain they wouldn't hurt her.

And those weird clicking noises that orb was making certainly didn't help matters.

But she'd have to endure it. Otherwise, her whole trip here would be for nothing.

After a few minutes, the circle of Grimm opened up, and Izuku walked towards her, with two Beringels at his sides. One of them carried a round wooden table and the other one carried two chairs.

The glare Izuku leveled at her was fierce, but Tsuma didn't flinch. She had expected as much.

"Place the table down between us, and the chairs on either side," Izuku ordered.

The Grimm did as they were told, arranging the table and chairs for the two of them.

Once that was done, Izuku sat down, his glare never wavering, his eyes locked onto her.

"Sit," Izuku ordered. There was not a hint of politeness or hospitality. His tone was cold and harsh and left no room for argument.

So she didn't argue. Tsuma simply sat down in the chair opposite to Izuku, trying her best to ignore the nightmare monsters surrounding them.

"You must be the Caretaker then," Tsuma said, trying not to show fear, and mostly succeeding, although Izuku could still hear a bit of a falter in her voice. "Judging from my welcome I think it's safe to say you know who I am, and...what I've done."
