I Don't Run An Orphanage!

Chapter 79

Halloween Part 3

With it now being late into the night, all the groups had finally returned to the house.

"So, Kioku, Ken, would you mind explaining these!?" Izuku cornered the two children, holding up the water pistol and machete respectively.

"You brought a real machete!?" Ken asked, looking at Kioku with a shocked expression.

"I didn't hurt anyone with it." Kioku pouted.

"No, but you did mug people out of their candy!" Izuku gave her a stern look. "How did you think that was possibly, an ok thing to do?"

Kioku didn't answer, only looking away guiltily.

Izuku sighed. "How did you even get this?"

"I...found it." Kioku obviously lied.

"You...found it," Izuku repeated skeptically. "Where exactly, did you find it?"

"...Around." Kioku replied.

"Kioku, who's memories did you mess with to get this?" Izuku asked, having figured her out by now.

"...Momo's," Kioku muttered, slumping over sadly at having been found out.

"When did she...actually I suppose given her quirk me not rember it makes sense," Momo said.

"Kioku what have I told you about using your quirk on people without their permission?" Izuku asked her with an upset expression.

"Not to..." Kioku answered despondently.

"And so why did you do it anyway?" Izuku asked her.

"Because I wanted to scare people." Kioku moped. "I thought it would be fun."

Izuku sighed. "And there are ways to do that, without carrying around an actual weapon! You could have asked me if you wanted to give people a Halloween scare."

"Sorry, daddy." Kioku apologized, lowering her head in shame.

Izuku sighed, "Look, for now, we'll be taking half the candy you got, which is more than fair considering you stole a lot of it. We'll discuss further punishments tomorrow, for now, I want you to enjoy the party, understood?"

"Yes, daddy." Kioku sighed.

Izuku then turned to Ken. "Honestly, not the worst thing you could have done. Still shouldn't have done it, and you know that, but not too terrible."

"Soooooo...punishment free? Ken asked hopefully.

"Not quite. You're losing a quarter of your candy." Izuku told him.

"Aww, man." Ken groaned.

"Be grateful that's all the punishment he's giving you doofus." Nara scowled at him. "Anyone else would have done something much worse."

Ken pouted. He knew that was true, which is why he wasn't making such a stink over it, but it still sucked.

Although to be fair, he was still getting, a LOT of candy.

All the kids had pulled in an obscene amount of candy. Each one of them filling more them a single bucket.

Kioku had gathered the most...because she stole it.

Yami also got quite a bit more than the others, most likely because out of fear.

Fuku and Shiruku would likely be tied for third in candy gathering. With both of them likely getting more candy because of the quality of their costumes, as well as Fuku getting some pity candy.
