chapter 24

Last time

Shinsou: Some asshole poured it all over her on purpose, for God knows what reason

Now

*Obviously, Mei didn't stay quiet and told her parents. So we see Mei with her parents, the 3 of them seated in chairs inside nezu's office. They were surprised, seeing the video footage of the green hair boy beating the yellow haired boy who attacked their daughter. The moment izuku was pushed away from Monoma was the moment that nezu hit pause*

Nezu: As you can see, Mr. And Mrs. Hatsume, my personal student, took care of the proper punishment for what they boy did to your daughter

Shu: We saw that. Who is this boy? His name, I mean.

*Shu, mei's father, asked. And then Mei said something that made both her father shu and her mother may go into a state of shock. Since the idea of what mei said being true was such a strange concept to them that they didn't even put it into the category of considerations of who the boy might be. So with a bright smile, mei pointed to izuku on the video and told them exactly who he is.*

Mei: Oh! That's izuku, my boy, friend

Shu/may: boyfriend?!!

*Parents yelled completely pale from the revelation.  Mei just nodded innocently. Not knowing that her parents didn't hear the space between boy and friend. Nezu chuckled since he did hear it but didn't correct them on it since he wanted to see this playout. After all, nezu is the rat god of mischief, so no one is safe from him, not even his protege.*

Nezu: Yes, well. I have seen izuku and Mei be rather close. He's always holding her hand whenever I see them together

Mei: I like his hand. It's all warm and strong. It makes me feel bubbly inside

* Mei said, bless the sweet girl's heart, but she was too socially naive for her own good. Shu felt as if he was gonna have a heart attack. He prayed for a friend for her daughter and ended up with a boyfriend for her. If this wasn't proof that god exists, he doesn't know what more proof people could need. Of course, he's still not gonna go to church on sunday, but still, details*

Shu" I might need to stop gambling for 2 whole years, it Mei really found someone, who can look past her flaws"

May: Well. That's...lovely, we simply must meet this boy. Is he available?

*Mei's mother may ask, looking at the boy on the paused video. It did concern her that smile he had on while assaulting that boy. But seeing as he did it for Mei, she's willing to overlook that. Nezu just sighed and shook his head. What a shame. His entertainment will have to wait for another day. Unfortunately, izuku wasn't here. He doesn't know where izuku was. Well, that's a lie. He knows he's in his old workshop. He just can't confirm it since he got a new security system and that nezu was having trouble cracking. Since it seemed every time he got close, it would somehow evolve and make nezu go back to zero.*

Nezu: I'm afraid not. He went to do some training yesterday and had yet to return. But I'm sure he's fine.

May: Oh dear. Mei, you need to invite him over for family dinner. Do you understand?

*May said, looking at her daughter, who was already distracted by something shiny, on a shelve. Mei waved her hand dismissively at her mother as she kept looking at the shiny thing. She wanted to touch it, she wanted it to keep, she was gonna take it, she needed it, since it sparkles, it shimmers, it shines, and delights, she must have it for her nest. Mei responded to her mother as her arm started to stretch out to the shiny thing.*

Mei: uhu.

May: repeat back to me what I said

*May said with a sigh. Mei joined in on the sigh since she heard it the first time. She didn't need to prove that she heard what her mother said, but to keep the peace, she repeated what her mother said. Honestly, she doesn't understand what the big deal is, all that she cares about is getting the shiny thing, she winced when nezu with a ruler slapped her hand away, and she repeated what her mother said out of instinct, since they do this every time, and it's annoying for Mei.*
