The Hero of Shadow Hunter (English)

" I... I don't know "

Eri's expression looked complicated, she seemed to think Izuku might be disappointed because of her answer. But she was also not sure what to do. On the one hand, she wanted to stay with Izuku but on the other hand, she was afraid of Overhoul who always shadowed her.

Izuku noticed the complicated expression on Eri's face and just smiled while patting her head.

" no need to overthink about it, just do it slowly. In the meantime how about we do something fun? "

" Something fun? What's that? "

Hearing Eri ask the meaning of the word made Izuku a little bitter inside, he seemed to forget for a moment that this child had been locked up for too long to know the basics.

" ah... right, let's start with that first "

A few days passed since the meeting that day. The heroes involved had been working hard to find various additional information while cooperating with the police. During that time Izuku routinely visited Eri as usual to check on her condition while slowly persuading her to leave. Throughout his visit, Izuku always brought her some sweets and picture books. Eri seemed interested in things in the outside world since she never went out. Izuku felt bitter about this for a moment because he compared himself to Eri.

If he thinks about it, Izuku is still considered lucky, even though he received unfair treatment he can still go out freely, while this poor girl has to stay locked up while receiving even worse treatment.

During that time, Izuku not only visited Eri but also continued some investigations at the Shie Hassaikai headquarters and he got some new information.

One of them is the condition of the previous Yakuza boss who was dying in a room with various medical devices that were also at the main headquarters. Knowing this fact, Izuku secretly sneaked into the room to check the condition of the former Yakuza boss, and when he arrived in the room, he could see an old man lying weakly unconscious with medical equipment around him. Izuku approached the old man and tried to heal him. Thanks to the healing that Beru did, he slowly regained consciousness.

" ...who? "

" Sorry for the sudden visit, but there are a few things I want to ask "

" What... do you want?... "

Maybe because he just woke up after a long time, his condition was still too weak to answer. Izuku also realized this and turned to Beru before finally getting a shake of the head. Even though Beru's healing was equal to an S-rank healer, it still couldn't heal him completely.

" This is about a girl named Eri, were you the one who ordered to use the girl's body as a weapon material? "

" Eri... is my granddaughter and... I don't remember giving such an order "

" then what about Chisaki? "

" Chisaki... where is he? "

" he's not here, was Chisaki the one who gave that order? "

" What happened to the organization? "

Seeing him staring at Izuku sharply, Izuku knew he wouldn't answer before he answered him.

" Your organization is currently under Chisaki's control and is currently running an illegal business by exploiting the body of an innocent girl "

Hearing those words, the boss's heart rate monitor immediately sounded loud, expressing his anger at the child he had brought in. Izuku was momentarily curious about the boss's intense reaction before trying to calm him down again.
