MANSION'S FLOWER (Female Deku)

Chapter 26: (Summer)

As the sun warmed the sand and waves rolled gently against the shore, the group relaxed and settled into their tasks. The air was filled with laughter, conversation, and the occasional shout from the water.

Izuku, Inko, and Todoroki at the Picnic Area

(Inko chopping vegetables): "Izuku, remember when you used to insist on helping me make those bento boxes, even when they were far too big for you to carry?"

(Izuku laughing): "I thought I was doing you a favor! I remember getting tired halfway to school because my bag was so heavy."

(Todoroki smiling slightly): "Guess that's where you got your determination. I’d say it’s served you well."

Izuku (grinning): "Maybe! Though it would’ve helped if someone taught me about packing light."

Rody, Guilio, and Kirishima by the Tents

(Kirishima hammering a stake into the sand): "Alright, Rody, hand me that next stake—this tent’s going nowhere!"

(Rody holding a stake): "Here you go, Mr. Engineer. But I’m telling you, it’s going to collapse if Guilio keeps pulling on that side."

(Guilio adjusting the ropes): "Oh please, I’m the only one here who’s built anything bigger than a sandcastle!"

(Kirishima laughing): "You guys are terrible—good thing Kazui’s out there with Bakugo, or else he’d be schooling you both."

Down by the water, Bakugo was playing with Kazui in the shallow waves. Kazui squealed in delight as his dad lifted him high above the water and splashed him gently down, both of them laughing as Kazui kicked his feet, splashing water back at Bakugo.

(Kazui giggling as Bakugo swings him over the water): "Higher, Daddy, higher!"

(Bakugo laughing): "Alright, but if you keep splashin' me, you’re goin’ down!"

(Kazui splashing Bakugo back): "I’m a King too! A king don’t go down!"

Bakugo (pretending to be splashed away): "Alright, alright, kiddo. You win this round—but don’t think I’ll go easy on you next time."

Kazui (cheering): "I won, I won!"

Denki at the Fruit Table...
His serious concentration on arranging the fruit into a colorful display was a surprising sight, given his usual playful nature.

(Denki arranging a slice of watermelon like a puzzle): "Look at this fruit art, guys! I could be the next big thing in fruit design."

(Rody calling from the tents): "Not sure if that’s a real job, Denki, but good luck with that."

(Denki pretending to be offended): "Hey, who needs a job when I can make a mango look like a sunburst?"

Toshinori and the old man stood back, watching it all with smiles on their faces. The old man’s eyes twinkled as he looked.

(Toshinori watching Bakugo and Kazui): "You don’t see him laugh like that often. He’s good with Kazui… he really loves him."

(Old Man nodding): "And about time he showed it. He’s got a family now, and look at Izuku… finally able to relax around him. This beach day is more than just sand and water, you know?"
