Hitoshi scratches the back of his head, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion while he tries to do his math homework. He was back home, in his secret place. It was where he, Himari, and Hayate slept most of the time. It was a small, abandoned apartment next to theirs that was walled up 20 or so years ago. The only way to get to it was from the fire escape. Hitoshi spent most of the money he manages to make trying to make the apartment somewhat liveable. It's getting better, but it's no where near what Hitoshi hopes it could be at.
"HITOMI, YOU SHIT! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" Mihoko screeches, her speech muffled by the wall. Hitoshi flinches heavily at the sound of glass breaking. He turns his head and makes sure Himari and Hayate were still asleep. Hitoshi sighs in relief, glad that his younger siblings were heavy sleepers. Hitoshi turns back to his homework and tries to ignore the screeching of his drunk mother.
Hitoshi, along with Class 1-A, and Shōta, were given 3 days off. It was originally a week, but Class 1-A never liked being behind and Shōta just wanted things to go back to normal, though he did love the extra sleep he got. Nezu also rewarded Hitoshi for helping by transferring him to Class 1-A. He danced in victory when he got home.
Hitoshi jumps slightly in surprise when his phone rings. It wasn't anything special. Just one of Mihoko's old smartphones he stole, knowing she wouldn't notice. He had an... online friend that helped him make the phone free of any bill or charge.
"Hello?" Hitoshi asks quietly, making sure he didn't wake his siblings or alert his mother.
"Hello, this is Uozumi Naohiko. I am the Principal at Shinko Elementary School. Are you... Shinsō Hitoshi?" A male voice asks, Hitoshi tilting his head in slight confusion at the question. Why was the principal calling him? Well, he is the emergency contact in Himari's and Hayate's file, but they were here with them.
"Yeah. Do you need something Uozumi-san?" Hitoshi asks, focusing back on his homework.
"Yesterday, Shinko Elementary School was heavily damaged from a hero fight. School will be cancelled for a week while we do repairs. I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. Have a nice day," The elementary principal states before hanging up rudely.
Hitoshi groans slightly in annoyance and he tosses his phone back down before running a hand through his hair. Great. Where the hell is Himari and Hayate supposed to go while he's at school? Hitoshi lifts his head slightly when he feels someone wrap their arms around his torso. Hitoshi smiles softly and turns around to see a sleepy yet confused Hayate hugging him.
"What's wrong?" Hayate signs after he breaks his hug. Hitoshi sighs in annoyance and he raises his hands. Hayate had become deaf after being sick when he was only four months old. Himari was a selective mute ever since she was one and a half.
"Your school called. They've cancelled school because the school was damaged in a hero fight. You and Hima-chan won't have school for a week," Hitoshi explains while signing at the same time. Hayate pouts while furrowing his eyebrows. Hayate and Himari loved their school, and loved learning. They wanted to be heroes.
"Where will we go?" Hayate signs in slight fear. He didn't want to stay home with their mother. Hitoshi sighs in defeat before kissing Hayate's forehead.
"I don't know. I'll figure something out, but you both might have to stay home for a couple of days. I don't like it either," Hitoshi states while signing. Hayate just looks down, making Hitoshi sigh in defeat. He really didn't want to leave his siblings here, alone, but he couldn't bring them with him to school. That'll be way too suspicious.
