Chapter 106: Colgate puts the fresh in your mouth!

"Ryo, you can take a break," Jiro says as we pause practice for a bit.

She walks over to help Shoto who'd done a great job at keeping up so far, but unfortunately he was a lot less experienced then the rest of us.

I guess I was pretty inexperienced too.

I chugged down my bottle of water.

'Singing for hours straight isn't for the weak'

I clear my throat a bit, at least my voice had been holding up well.

We had been practicing a song Jiro had composed just for us, plus she even wrote the lyrics in English knowing I was more familiar with western music, so I wanted to do it justice.

Glancing around, the band was still going through certain sections of the song where their timing was a bit off.

I looked over at Katsuki who had been surprisingly good at not overpowering everyone but still keeping a solid tempo for us to follow.

Seeing as they'd probably need a bit longer, I stepped outside for some fresh air.

I saw the dance group outside and decided I'd drop by and say hi.

"Hey guys!" I call as I walk down the front steps, "how's dance class-  going...?"

I pause, looking down upon feeling something collide with my legs.

A mop of white with red eyes looks up at me.

"Eri!" I grin, lifting the girl up and twirling her around.

As I set her down she has a flustered expression.

'Guess she's still not used to being pampered.'

I lift her hair slightly.

'good, her horn is still small'

Me and Aizawa discovered a few weeks back that by me absorbing and releasing energy from Eri's horn, I was able to help reduce the build-up of quirk energy in her body.

It would mean her outbursts, if any, would be less volatile.

I lead her over to the group, holding onto her small hand.

"Ryo, you know Eri?" Midoriya asked curiously.

I nod with a smile, "I've been helping with her quirk training."

"Had no idea she'd show up though!" I smiled as I spot Mirio's rear sticking out of the bushes.

"What's he up to?" I whisper to the broccoli boy who shrugs.

"THERE'S A PEACH HERE!" said top 3 senior cheered, wiggling his posterior.

-

'oh, it does look like a peach.'

-

"Eh? Who's she?" Ojiro pipes up.

'Oh yeah, only me and the interns would have met her.'

"Senior Togata's child?" he asked and I snickered, "Isn't he a bit young for kids?"

"Wait but..." I see the non interns look between me and Eri.

"Same hair..." someone mutters and I catch on immediately.

"She's not my kid," I sigh.

"Don't you guys let Shoto hear that," I mumble under my breath, shuddering at the accusations he would throw at me in his strange mind of his.
