Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 89 - Floating through forever

The next day was a Saturday, and all the different groups were practising. Jiro had stuck the song sheet for "Hero Too" onto the wall, as the five students of the Band Team tried to play all their respective instruments in sync. The Stage Team were discussing the effects they should use for the performance, as the Dance Team practised their choreography in front of the Class 1-A dorms.

Midoriya was just standing behind Ashido, watching as Ashido tried to fix Ojiro's stance. Since he couldn't dance, she had decided to have him as her assistant, watching the choreography and seeing if anything was wrong. Sadly, his own knowledge of dancing was lacking, and despite thinking that Ojiro was doing well, Ashido was insisting that he needed to put more muscle into his movements.

"So do it like you're turning a lock, and stop it with a snap!" Ashido said, doing a demonstration, but Midoriya literally couldn't tell the difference. Reiko didn't seem too bothered with the dancing, opting to just sleep in Midoriya's hood as Ryuto settled down in his hair.

Midoriya felt a presence behind him, and turned around, seeing Togata standing behind a bunch of bushes. Suddenly, Togata stuck his butt out from inside the bushes, "Here's a peach!"

Midoriya just blinked at Togata in confusion, as Togata's voice caught the attention of the others in the Dance Team. noticed a silver of bluish, off-white hair, and peered over at the bush in confusion. Togata coaxed Eri to step out, and Uraraka lit up, "Eri!"

"Oh! It's Eri!" Ojiro peered over, as Eri ran over to Midoriya, wrapping her arms around Midoriya, "Izuku!"

"What lovely clothes!" Asui complimented, looking at her white dress shirt and red pinafore, as Uraraka gushed, "You're so cute!"

"Really?" Eri tilted her head to the side, clutching the strap of her bag with one arm as she had another around Midoriya's waist, as she spotted Iida and Shinsou, waving hesitantly, "Hello!"

"Eri!" Iida gently reached down, patting Eri's head.

"Midoriya, she's allowed to attend the School Festival, but in order to keep her from being surprised and panicking, we wanted to let her visit once to get used to it." Aizawa stated, as Mineta introduced himself, "I'm Mineta! I can't wait to see how you look in ten years!"

Eri shyly shifted behind Midoriya, as the green haired boy glared at Mineta, baring his teeth as he let out a small growl. Mineta screeched, and ran to hide behind Shoji, as the taller boy muttered, "You kind of deserved that."

"I kind of wanted to take Eri around UA!" Togata grinned, "Midoriya, do you want to come, too?"

"But don't you have to work on the School Festival stuff too?" Uraraka asked, as Togata laughed, "Not really! 3-B is just manning a few food stalls this year, and since I can't really cook, I'm just in charge of buying and bringing a portion of the ingredients to school before the event itself, and helping to set up the booths. Nothing much to do now."

"Hey! Dance Team! We wanted to talk about -" Kirishima opened the door, before spotting the small girl, "Oh! It's Eri!"

The redhead ran out of the dorms, "Hey there! Wait... you don't know who I am, huh?"

Ashido grinned, "Then, why don't we take a break?"

"I'm also curious about what the other classes are doing!" Uraraka smiled, "Come on, let's go!"

Some of the students were tired after practising outside, and had gone indoors for some drinks, while Togata quickly led Midoriya, Eri, Ashido, Kirishima, Uraraka, Shinsou and Iida to the main UA building.

"There's so many people..." Shinsou sweatdropped, as Togata smiled, "It's a weekend, but since everyone's living in the dorms, a lot of students are still preparing for the festival!"
