Chapter 74 - To save others

Dabi's clone laughed at Michiyo while the poor girl blushed in embarrassment to the point she's covering her face with both hands. 

"Please stop making fun of me!" Michiyo was sleep talking in her nap and what she said before waking up made Dabi feel amused. "I can't believe I said that...!"

"'I prefer a bigger sausage'." Dabi repeated with a smug look on his face.

"It's not a dirty dream! I was talking about food! I had a dream I was eating a traditional English breakfast and there were sausages! It's not my fault they were small!" Her face was red from trying to explain to Dabi. "The waiter asked if I'd like them bigger!" 

"Heh, that's what she said." 

"Stop it!" 

"Alright, alright, stop bullying her." Rika reminded them they're now in the middle of the forest so they need to be on their guard because the people who wanted to stop her could be nearby and if they're surrounded, they're doomed. "That being said, Michiyo, you really like eating, huh?" 

"Nngh..." Michiyo loved eating. She's the happiest when she's eating. One of her retirement goal was to travel the world with her future husband and enjoy cuisine from many different culture. Eating together with someone made food tastier so she wished the person she will share the rest of her life with will enjoy the same thing as she did.

"Wouldn't surprise me if you loved green peppers as a child." Dabi said to her, still making fun of her. In Japan, one of the most common vegetables Japanese children disliked was green peppers. 

Michiyo looked at him, "How did you know that?"

"Are you serious?" Dabi's face looked deadpanned. "Wouldn't surprise me if you, as a baby, always pout at your parents as they eat solid food but they keep feeding you the slop called baby food."

Michiyo was staring at Dabi with disbelief in her eyes. Why? Because she had memories of that happening! 

"...you're serious."

"Hm." 

"Shh. Stop talking." Rika held both of their sleeves. She activated her Quirk that allowed her to become completely invisible. Her Quirk worked the same way as Michiyo's Diamond Bond technique; anything she touched will be affected too.

Deep in the forest was a lone mansion that stood tall. It looked like somebody was rich enough and hated being near people so they put a mansion in the middle of nowhere to avoid others.

Rika stopped using her invisibility Quirk for the time being. It was a good thing it was late at night because they were well hidden in the forest. Rika was reading her friend's notes and she was able to watch recordings her fallen friend had taken of the inside. Seemed like the mansion had a lot of traps for intruders. 

"Spencer Mansion." Michiyo was getting the Resident Evil vibe!

"Oi, stop it with the video game reference." Dabi gently tapped her head for that. 

Michiyo suddenly held onto Dabi's coat.

"What are you doing?" Dabi tried to make her let go but Michiyo refused to let go.

"I got scared." 

"Hah? Then don't mention it in the very first place if you're going to shit yourself." He made her let go of his coat but he held her hand. "We'll compromise with this." 

"I thought you hate holding hands." She looked at his hand. Though there's patches of purple on him, his hand was warm to the touch. 'This warmth...it feels like holding Shouto's hand...'
