"First place!!" With a huge smile, Nejire announced before throwing herself into Kai's arms. He spun to cushion the impact and set her back on the ground before responding with a grin of his own.
"You even set a record; you're amazing."
"Hehe." Nejire grinned happily as she lifted her chin with pride. At that moment, Momo arrived and commented with a small pout.
"You were just a second faster than me."
"My Momo is also very impressive."
Kai said with a smile, which immediately made Momo's eyes light up before she joyfully hugged one of his arms. But at that moment, Kai turned to look to his left with a frown, catching the attention of the girls.
In the distance, a group of what looked like scientists with several assistants could be seen, all wearing big smiles as they stared at Momo like she was some rare material. Imagining what they wanted, Kai immediately activated his Conqueror's Haki at low power, making the air heavy and oppressive, which stopped the approaching group in their tracks.
"We're not interested in cooperation, we're not selling anything, and we've already invested in some research groups, so you'd better go back where you came from."
With expressions of terror, the group quickly nodded repeatedly before scattering in different directions, a sight that made Momo giggle. Nejire leaned close to Kai's ear and whispered in a seductive, heated voice.
"You look so hot when you scare people…"
"I totally agree… Maybe we should head to the hotel for a bit…"
Ryuko, who was nearby and overheard, soon whispered with a lewd and playful smile, a mood that quickly spread among the beautiful women present. But Momo, who checked her phone, commented with a hint of surprise.
"The guys have already arrived; I completely forgot!"
"I guess we'll have to save it for tonight…" Shino whispered in a slightly disappointed voice as she watched Momo drag Kai along, which made Nemuri and Keiko look at her with a touch of surprise.
[Why the surprise? Do you think what I said means I don't love my Kai or something? Don't misunderstand me; I have no intention of leaving my Kai. I just don't want to stay in the dark anymore.]
Shino sent a telepathic message in a calm voice, which led Keiko and Nemuri to nod at each other with understanding expressions. Kai didn't bother hiding his thoughts and opinions, so basically everyone in the family had a pretty clear idea of who he was. Therefore, although what he had done was delicate and a full-blown crime, it would hardly surprise anyone.
…
"Yao Momo! Saito!"
At the airport exit, an excited Mina in her hero costume waved her hands in the air, surrounded by the entire training group. With Kai and Nejire by her side, Momo stepped forward and greeted with a huge smile.
"Hey guys, I'm sorry for not waiting for you. We decided to explore the place and lost track of time."
"No problem, we just got here."
Jiro replied with a smile as Mina sneaked closer to Kai to take a better look at the pair of lazy cats on his shoulders. Meanwhile, Kirishima couldn't help but comment cheerfully while looking at Kai.
"I thought you'd be in your PE uniform as usual, Saito! You look like a millionaire on vacation."
"Well, what can I say…?" Kai replied with a playful smirk as Tama swatted Mina's hand away with a swipe and let out a haughty meow.
"…"
Kai's words brought a general silence among the group of young people, who couldn't help but look away to avoid that powerful, silent flex from Kai. But they couldn't say anything either; it was true, the guy was disgustingly rich and really on vacation. Even they were there because he was footing the bill, leaving them with no room to argue.
"By the way, where's Midoriya-san? Couldn't he make it?" Wanting to change the mood, Momo asked with a small smile while looking around. Uraraka explained in a somewhat shy voice.
"He did come, just that he arrived with All Might and brought someone else along…"
"Oh, I see. If the chance comes up, we can meet with him later." Momo replied casually, getting an idea of whom he might have brought. At that moment, Kai glanced at Nejire and asked, a bit confused.
"Did Mirio tell you anything about why he wasn't coming?"
"No, it's weird. Do you want me to call him?" Nejire shook her head and asked while pulling out her phone. Kai shook his head and commented as Salem also batted away Mina's persistent hand with annoyance.
"Nah, I'll contact him myself later."
"Mn." Nejire nodded with a smile and quickly put her phone away, then looked at the whole training group and spoke while raising one of her fists in the air.
"Guys! Let's head to the hotel to drop off your stuff so you can go out and have some fun!"
"""Ohhh!!!""" The group responded in high spirits all at once, surprising the people around them and causing the Pussycats and the others who were arriving to laugh in amusement.
Seeing the group of beauties approaching alongside a tall, muscular man, Mina quickly stopped trying to pet the pair of proud cats and rushed over to them, bowing respectfully and greeting each one. Surprised, the others quickly followed to say hello, to which the adults responded cheerfully.
After a while, the group of youngsters dropped their luggage at the luxurious hotel and soon split into smaller groups to explore the surroundings, promising to regroup at night. In the end, the whole family went for another stroll through some exhibitions with Mina, Jiro, Uraraka, and Toru, the invisible girl, who had grown very close to Momo ever since receiving her hero costume.
"Saito, can you make gear like this?"
Looking at various pieces of cool hero equipment and suits with psychedelic and eye-catching styles, Mina kept approaching Kai with shining eyes and asking. Kai always nodded casually and replied without much interest.
"Maybe. It doesn't look particularly complicated…"
"Saito! You gotta make one of these!!"
After asking the same question several times, Mina spotted a suit submerged in a tubular tank that looked straight out of an alien movie and exclaimed loudly, full of excitement. Seeing the suit and its specs, Kai couldn't help but roll his eyes and ask in an almost sarcastic tone.
"Why would I want a deep-diving suit?"
"Because it's cool! Kai-chan! Make one, please, pretty please!" Nejire soon chimed in with puppy eyes, which made Kai sigh and comment, somewhat defeated.
"Fine, I'll make something similar when I have some free time."
"You're the best, Kai-chan!" Nejire said with shining eyes, fully intending to kiss Kai with all her might, but since they were in public, she could only give Momo sad eyes, causing her to laugh in amusement.
"Hey! What's with that difference in attitude?!"
Meanwhile, Mina couldn't help but exclaim, dissatisfied. Kai rolled his eyes again and looked away while the pair of cats on his shoulders stared at the pink-skinned girl with mocking expressions.
"Hmph!" Mina couldn't help but huff in annoyance and ran over to Momo, who was talking with Jiro, complaining in a pitiful voice.
"Yao Momo, Saito is bullying me."
"It's nothing against you, Ashido-san. Kai's just like that; forgive him." Momo replied, amused, which caused Mina to dramatically hang her head while Uraraka, Jiro and Toru looked at the pink girl strangely.
At the same time, Keiko couldn't help but look at Mina with suspicion before glancing at Nemuri, who subtly averted her gaze. That reaction made Keiko narrow her eyes with a dangerous glint. She knew what kind of pervert that woman was, and while she was willing to share, it was with her family, whom she'd known for a long time.
Unlike that pervert, she wasn't willing to share her man with a stranger, and the only one who could change her mind would be Kai himself, who she was sure wouldn't want that either. Therefore, to maintain her current happiness, it would be necessary to start keeping a close eye on that pervert.
After all, although she loved Nemuri and was grateful to her—since she was the architect of her current happiness by deciding to share Kai—everything had to have a limit. If she didn't put a stop to that NTR pervert, who knows what kind of disaster she might drag them into.
Meanwhile, behind Keiko, Ryuko, Shino, and even Tomoko started looking at the cheerful, extroverted, pink-skinned girl with large breasts with analytical eyes. Yumiko noticed this and couldn't help but narrow her eyes suspiciously, concluding that the trio of professional heroes were communicating telepathically through subtle gestures that gave them away.
(Is it possible… did Nemuri 'infect' them?! No, it can't be… That 'special' taste shouldn't be something you can acquire so easily…)
Yumiko couldn't help but reach a terrifying conclusion, though she quickly dismissed it with apprehension. After all, her opinion wasn't much different from Keiko's. She could share her beloved Kai with her family and beloved daughter, but strangers had to stay out.
For his part, Chatora, who was looking at the gear with interest and even taking notes to improve his own equipment, couldn't help but glance at the group of beautiful women and shake his head. He could already see from a distance that a huge headache was coming for Kai, and possibly a big fight among the girls—their first big fight.
(Good thing I got out in time… Things are about to get messy, hehe.)
Making a mental note to buy more popcorn and some seeds, Chatora let out a small chuckle and continued checking out the gear in pretty good spirits. After all, he was a fan of drama with happy endings, and his instincts told him a great show was coming. His family would start facing and overcoming difficulties one by one to be happy, something he wouldn't miss for the world.
…
As they checked out the different pieces of equipment, the group soon found themselves in front of a massive machine that looked like a missile-launching robot with an industrial, mechanical style. Seeing the striking giant robot, Kai couldn't help but bring a hand to his chin and whisper in a serious tone.
"I should build one of these…"
"It looks pretty ugly…"
Hearing his murmur, Mina couldn't help but mutter back with a skeptical expression, to which Jiro, Uraraka, and Toru nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Momo looked at Kai and commented with a cheerful smile.
"It's been a while since you built a robot, Kai. You should take some time off to do it."
"That's true… It's been a while since I did something fun… Maybe I'll carve out some free time…"
Kai nodded thoughtfully, as lately, the only thing he'd done with robotics were minor upgrades to Momo's and the girls' suits and modifying some cars in the garage. He hadn't really done anything just for fun.
"With a sword, it would look better, don't you think?" While Jiro and Toru stared at Momo in surprise, and Mina fell into deep thought, Nejire hugged Kai's free arm and commented with a big smile.
"Wouldn't look bad at all…" Kai nodded with a smile, a mental image already forming in his head of how it would turn out.
But before the image could fully take shape, Kai turned to look behind him, having sensed something with his observation haki, which caught the girls' attention. Behind them, everyone could see their green-haired classmate chatting cheerfully with a beautiful blonde girl wearing glasses.
"Deku-kun, you really admire Uncle Might a lot, don't you?" The beautiful blonde with glasses asked, somewhat amused. Midoriya laughed embarrassedly and replied while scratching the back of his head.
"Oh, sorry! I couldn't help it…"
"Haha." The beautiful blonde laughed in amusement at his response, just as Uraraka appeared behind Midoriya and commented in a flat voice.
"I see you're having fun, Deku-kun."
"U-Uraraka-san?! W-were you here?" As if struck by lightning, Midoriya spun around and exclaimed in disbelief. With an expression as flat as her voice, Uraraka commented again.
"Looks like you're having fun."
"Oh, looks like he got caught." Jiro couldn't help but comment, a bit amused. Mina nodded and remarked with a huge, mischievous grin.
"They don't sell popcorn around here, do they? Hehe."
"Poor Midoriya-san…" Toru let out a small empathetic sigh, at which point Kai commented with a playful smile on his lips, drawing everyone's attention.
"So, this is where you were."
"S-Saito-kun!" Midoriya jumped again and exclaimed in surprise. The beautiful blonde fixed her blue eyes on Kai, then looked at the whole group and asked curiously.
"Are these your friends?"
"They're my classmates…" Midoriya replied somewhat shyly, at which point Uraraka commented with the same flat, calm voice.
"Classmates…"
"Uh, Melissa-san is showing me around…" Midoriya explained, visibly panicking. Seeing the green-haired boy in a tough spot, the beautiful blonde quickly stepped forward and explained in a calm, elegant voice.
"That's right. My dad and Uncle Might have been friends for a long time, and since they're talking, they asked me to give Deku-kun a tour of the place."
"You're really close to All Might, Midoriya." Jiro commented in a playful tone. As Midoriya started to panic a bit, Mina approached Momo, Nejire, and Kai and asked with an obvious hunger for gossip.
"Hey, I've been wondering, but isn't Midoriya All Might's secret son? Their quirks are so similar, and they're so close…"
"Could be, who knows…" Kai replied in a playful tone. Meanwhile, Momo shook her head and soon looked at the beautiful blonde and greeted her.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Yaoyorozu Momo."
"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Melissa Shield." The beautiful blonde with glasses and blue eyes greeted with a formal smile. Nejire soon chimed in with a smile.
"Hado Nejire."
"I'm Saito Kai." Kai added calmly, which caused Melissa's eyes to light up brightly as she asked with visible excitement.
"Are you 'that' Saito Kai?!"
