The Hero of Shadow Hunter (English)

79

There was a moment of silence after Iida spoke. Everyone in the room felt awkward about the silence until Manual decided to end their visit.

" Since you two might need rest, I think it's time for us to go. "

" You're right, let's go kid "

Seeing that the people visiting him were about to leave, Iida looked surprised and was about to get up to stop them. But as if reading his mind, Izuku spoke first.

" No, I'll stay here for a moment, there's something I want to talk to Iida about. "

" Okay, come after you're finished. "

" Of course "

After confirming Grand Torino's presence and Manual moving away, Izuku once again turned his gaze to Iida.

Iida was lost in thought once again when he saw Izuku reading his thoughts and quickly returned to reality when their eyes met.

" So, Iida-kun, what do you want to talk about? "

" Well, that... "

Seeing that Iida was still hesitant, Izuku took one of the stools and sat near him. He once again looked at Iida but this time with a gentler gaze.

" You seem to have a lot of worries, you can tell me if you want. I know we may be strangers, but someone I know once told me that you don't need to keep what's inside for too long, sometimes you need to let out your emotions at least once. "

Hearing Izuku's words, Iida was once again lost in thought. He felt that what Izuku said was true. But still expressing your feelings is the most difficult thing. Even if he wanted to talk about it the words still wouldn't come out.

Izuku noticed Iida's inner turmoil and decided to push him once again.

" Turbo Hero, Ingenium, he's your older brother, isn't he? "

Iida's eyes immediately widened at Izuku's sudden statement. He looked at Izuku with suspicious eyes. Suspecting his reaction would be like this Izuku continued to speak.

" I saw the news, it is said that the turbo hero Ingenium was seriously injured when facing the hero killer and suffered nerve damage. And I'm sure the reason you are in Hosu Cit must be chasing the hero killer for revenge, right? "

Once again Iida's eyes widened at Izuku's words which seemed to read his mind. But he then quickly looked away, hiding his disappointment and embarrassment. He even bit his lip until a red spot could be seen there.

" Seeing your response, it seems I was right. You know, seeing you like this reminds me of my past. "

Iida was silent for a moment as if he didn't understand what Izuku said. His mixed feelings had also disappeared, replaced by confusion at Izuku's sudden words, and looked at his with a confused expression.

Izuku didn't pay attention to the change in his expression and was silent for a moment reminiscing about his memories of seeing Ichirou lying weak and helpless on the bed. Izuku currently also has the same facial expression that Iida has, a bitter expression due to his incompetence.

" I also almost lost someone precious to me. A terrible incident occurred during a mission. Most of my colleagues were seriously injured and the team leader had to lose his ability to walk because he was protecting his members."

Hearing Izuku's words, Iida's eyes suddenly widened in surprise. He didn't expect that the person in front of him would have a life story similar to his. Seeing Iida's surprise, Izuku just chuckled. He then continued his story.

" When I saw that, I was blinded by my anger and immediately slaughtered the monsters in front of me without sparing any. I was only able to relieve my anger when I killed the boss monster. "
