Bonds - The Past Echoes | MHA Reader-Insert

Shojiko Hospital

---------------------------------------------------------

With nothing to guide your search, you and Hikisaku spent the next few days looking for at least one clue on where to find Kenichi Tanahashi.

There was nothing to be found. Not even that, you haven't even seen him since that day at the mahjong parlor. Not that you could confirm that was him.

'I'm supposed to be the biggest bounty in all of Japan, right? Then I would've expected him to try something, anything. Where are you, Kenichi Tanahashi?'

You thought to yourself, on the train to Coreleah, to start another day of your investigation. Hikisaku was a meter away from you, as she was too big to squeeze through the other people on the train.

Your phone rang. You looked down to see the number, and it was one you didn't recognize. You answered it anyway.

"Hello?"

"Yugo-han."

"Huh? Kazero? How did you get my number?"

"From the receptionist desk. You called them to get a job at this agency, didn't you?"

"Oh right. Why are you calling? Did you really have to go through all the trouble to get my number? You could've just told me when we got there."

"What? You guys hardly come up here. Which is a good thing, you're not supposed to be updating me, I've got no reason be part of your investigation.
Anyway, don't come here."

"Why not? Don't just phrase it ominously like that."

"I mean, don't come to the agency because you have somewhere else to be."

"Yeah? Where?"

"Eh? You're saying you don't know? You're supposed to be on top of these things! It's your investigation after all!"

"Hold on. This is about the Hero Hunter then?"

"Correct. Just after midnight today, the hero Indomitable was found in the lobby of his apartment building. He had been stabbed multiple times, and his hand had been severed.
Despite his injuries, and the length of time he was left lying helplessly, he survived."

"Really? He's alive? How can you be sure this was even the work of the Hero Hunter? Stab wounds? That doesn't sound like something he would do."

"I'm completely sure, because it came straight out of Indomitable's mouth."

"He's alive, sure, but I've been told that he's been acting erratic ever since he regained consciousness.
As for the stab wounds, you're underestimating him. He can do it all, he doesn't need guns, they're just more efficient."

"Why would he bother going after Indomitable? Surely, I'm a more valuable bounty to go after."

"Who knows. Maybe he's trying to clear his backlog of bounties before he gets to you. That'd explain why he killed so many heroes in such a short time. That's something you might have to ask Indomitable about."

"Go to Shojiko Hospital in Block Four. Question Indomitable as much as you can. You have no other leads, right? Maybe he can help you find one."
