But What If I Was Better? | Mob Joins UA

7 | Raid & Persuade

][ Previously: Shoto started jogging with Mob. Reigen had his crush confirmed in front of Mob. Mob was recruited to oversee a mission as backup and wound up being turned into a child getting kidnapped. ][

" 'Spirits and Such Consultation Office' "

     Reigen returned from the bathroom with a smug look on his face. Business was booming! Even moreso than his previous location! Who knows? If this winning streak continues, he may just be able to move into his own apartment by the end of the month...instead of living with Serizawa.

     ...No wonder people kept mistaking them for a gay couple. It was like that guy was strapped to his very back...

     "U-um, M-master Reigen!" Speaking of whom.. His assistant stumbled toward him with a dreadful look on his face.

     "Huh? What is it now?"

     "There's another client in your office, sir! A-and it's that lady, too!" Reigen's eyes widened a smidge and he pushed past the brunette.

     "Crap, why does she always stop by at the worst times??" Reigen hissed under his breath. That Ms. Yamashi was more of a nuisance than anything. Sometimes she'd just show up, look around, point out something funny about his choice of decor, and then just leave.

     Very annoying, and he never knew when she'd visit again. But, being a polite businessman, he tried putting on a kind smile when entering his office. "Spirits and Such, what do you need?" The woman was lounging in the customer's chair when her head turned to him.

     "What's up, flashy?" Ah yes... The nicknames...

     Reigen rounded his desk and sat at his chair with his hands folded over the desk. Since she usually just stood around, her decision to sit was a pretty good sign that she actually had something to ask. "Can I help you..?"

     "Uhm, yeah. So there's this problem I've been having with weight on my shoulders." She started by rubbing at one of them. "I was told by one of your past clients that it was a spiritual issue, so...you got any ideas on how to fix it?" She was obviously baiting him into a trap, but at the same time with Serizawa in the room he couldn't just drop the act. Plus, uhh, giving a massage to a woman he maybe still thought was kinda hot would be the death of him.

     "I-I-I'm sorry but I can only do one of those sessions a day. It takes a lot of spiritual en-energy to fix-"

     "Didn't you do two of those yesterday?-"

     "I'm a little low on that right now!"

     "I still have the coupon~" She slid over he desk.

     "That thing has already expired.."

     "Fine, I'll pay full price for it then." He could see it in her eyes. She was teasing him.. and unfortunately it was working! He tried to divert his eyes but the blush was clear as day.

     "Um, sir?" Serizawa sounded a little concerned while looking down at his phone.

     "Not now, Serizawa.." Reigen wheezed.

     "Master Reigen, look!" He shoved his phone into the boss' face.

     "I told you not to interrupt meetings with the clie-- ...Hold up..." The blondie stared for a little bit, then grabbed his assistant's phone with two greedy hands. His body started to shake, the trivial situation he was in melting away.

     News report: "Hero in training, Shigeo Kageyama, has gone missing after a successful invasion of the Shea Hassaikai base. Witnesses report that he was turned into a child before being stolen by a yet to be identified villain. The Yakuza leader, Kai Chisaki was also taken in this same event. Mass searches have been sent out, but because of the villain's teleportation quirk their whereabouts are unfortunately impossible to track."
