The dazzling sunlight in the morning made Yakai Riho couldn't help squinting her eyes, and she let out a breath after hanging up the phone.

After spending 10 minutes washing up, she took a look at her things in this dormitory, and sent a message to Yosano Akiko.

[Now there is no danger, can I move back? ——Mihai Riho]

[Okay, need help? ——with Akiko Yosano]

[No need to trouble, please express my gratitude to the detective agency for me, thank you for your care during this time. ——Mihai Riho]

Yakai Riho started packing her luggage after sending this message.

Then he saw the candy that Edogawa Ranpo gave him yesterday on the table.

Speaking of which, what happened to the other party yesterday?

Yakai Riho picked up the piece of candy, thought for a while and put it away.

Although she said she didn't need help, when she went down, she still saw Kunikida Doppo and Yosano Akiko standing by the car as if they were waiting for her.

"It's okay to set aside a little time in today's plan to send you back."

Kunikida Doppo pressed his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.

"It can be regarded as a beginning and an end."

She put one hand on her waist and the other on the car door with Yosano Akiko and looked at her.

"Since I picked you up from home, I will send you back properly."

However, I thought that Mr. Ranpo would yell over after knowing that Yakai Riho was going to move back, but he didn't.

Sure enough, it's a bit strange.

Sitting in the car, Yosano Akiko thoughtfully looked at the black-haired girl beside her.

"Rio."

Yakai Riho was looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, and looked to the side following the voice after hearing her own name.

"What do you think of Mr. Ranpo?"

Although they probably knew it, Yosano Akiko and Yosano Akiko still wanted to hear each other's thoughts.

This is not something to think too much about.

"Smart and sharp, sharp to the point, but lacks some common sense, has a childlike personality, is more self-willed in some things and likes to act like a baby, but not annoying, a bit of a genius self, but understandable, more straightforward ..."

After talking for a while, Yakai Riho stopped in confusion.

"Why are you asking such a question all of a sudden?"

It turned out to be the case.

Yosano Akiko folded her arms around her chest and retracted her gaze, turning her head slightly to look out the window.

"I just feel that Mr. Ranpo has been a little bit wrong since last night, and it may have something to do with you."

After a pause, she said again: "Well, I only show that expression when it's about you."

As restless as a cat about to be abandoned.

"Feel sorry……"

Yakai Riho thinks that she probably understands why Ranpo looks like that.

You must have seen it.

After all, he is the number one detective in the world.

"no need to say sorry."

Akiko Yosano felt a little helpless, she stroked her forehead.

"I'm not blaming you. Even though everyone respects Mr. Ranpo, it's not your fault."

You can't force yourself to like this kind of thing.

The black-haired girl next to her didn't know what she was thinking, and it took a while before she responded.

"……Um."

Yakai Riho's address is not far from the detective agency, but because it is the morning rush hour, it took a little time.

After getting out of the car with the suitcase, she bowed to the two who sent her back.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, thank you very much for your care during this time."

"As for Luanbu, I will find time to have a good talk with him."

"Don't be so solemn, after all, the detective agency has accepted the commission."

Kunikida Doppo is as serious and responsible as he looks.

Yosano Akiko didn't say anything.

Just sighed inwardly.

I always feel that I can foresee Mr. Ranpo crying because of his grievances.

Yakai Riho opened the door of the house after the two left.

There has been some dust in the house because it has not been lived in for a while, not much but it is unbearable.

After putting the suitcase in the bedroom on the second floor, she started to prepare for the big cleaning.

I don't know how long it took, but the doorbell rang when the cleaning was almost finished.

Yakai Riho walked towards the entrance while wondering who it was so coincidentally that she found it right after she came back.

When he opened the door, he saw a blond young man standing outside.

The other party was wearing a black short-sleeved t-shirt, with soft milk-blond hair in a mess, the face under the bangs could not hide the tiredness, and there were some black and blue eyes, it seemed that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

Bakugo Katsuki adjusted his overly rapid breathing, he managed to finish the matter, hurriedly changed his combat uniform and came over.

After seeing Yakai Riho's outfit, he froze for a moment, then reacted, and glanced at the room that seemed to have just been cleaned.

"Baohao, why did you come here suddenly?"

Yakai Riho noticed the sweat on the opponent's forehead, took off the mask to prevent the inhalation of dust, and turned his body sideways to let the opponent enter.

"I heard you were attacked."

Bakugo Katsuki followed through the door while staring at the bandage on the opponent's arm.

"Well, it was yesterday."

Yakai Riho put down the broom and mask in her hand, and went to the kitchen to pour water.

"But I'm fine, just a little bruise. Fushimi-kun protected me, and then reinforcements came. The enemy has been caught."

Bakugo Katsuki did not speak for a while, his scarlet eyes were bloodshot due to the high-intensity work for many days, almost on par with Aizawa Xiao, he lingered at the wound on the other side, and when the black-haired girl put the water glass on the He spoke with a hoarse voice in front of him.

"Feel sorry."

"Ok?"

Yakai Riho's eyes paused for a moment on the opponent's clenched fists.

"Why are you apologizing?"

Bakugo Katsuki forgot the ferocity and impatience he usually had on TV, but his brows were furrowed, and the corners of his lips pressed down in a very unhappy manner.

"I saw the news that you went to Hosu City to deal with things a while ago, and you solved a dangerous villain organization, which is very powerful."

Yakai Riho sat down opposite him.

"Baohao, you are a hero."

And heroes are always running around for the safety of the people and the stability of the society.

So no apology for not coming in time to protect her.

"I know."

Katsuki Bakugo thought a lot on the way here.

The self who was a student four years ago was unable to help because of lack of ability, and the self who became a hero four years later was unable to take care of the people he cared about because of this status.

He doesn't regret being a hero, it's his childhood dream.

But for this dream, many things need to be sacrificed.

Being a hero is a dangerous profession, whether it is for the hero himself or for the hero's family.

It's not that the extreme villain deliberately took revenge on the hero's family.

When Bakugo Katsuki was thinking about what he could give to the other party, he found——

Let alone protection, he couldn't even meet the ordinary request of being with him.

Mihai Riho noticed the other party's unusually silent attitude. If it was normal, the other party would have raised his eyebrows and pulled the corners of his mouth in an attitude of 'listen to me' and said: "Huh!? What stupid things are you talking about! I will definitely Protect yours!"

It seems that this attack made the other party understand something.

She went on to say: "Heroes are a class whose exposure is comparable to that of a star, unless it is a hidden hero like Mr. Aizawa, but even then there are many times when you have to face the media."

Even if Bakugo Katsuki hates the media, he still needs to be interviewed and keep his temper in check.

"And I hate it."

Even going to the podium in class, she will be nervous because of the eyes of the whole class, and hates all occasions where she will be the focus.

In the face of those popular heroes, some paparazzi who have no bottom line can't wait to dig out all the private information of the other party for exposure, and sometimes even use some specious headlines to attract the attention of the public.

For example, when I met Bakugo Katsuki before, because I was walking with the other party and was photographed by the paparazzi who saw it and posted it on the Internet, I encountered countless speculations and malicious intentions. identity of.

"Heroes are a dangerous profession and a busy one."

"I don't want to worry about whether you will be injured every time you go out on a mission, and I don't want you to deal with the incident the next day after you finally come back from the mission for ten days and a half months in a row."

She admires the families of heroes who can put up with this, but she doesn't want it to be like this.

"You are now on the rise of your hero career, your ranking will continue to rise, your reputation will continue to expand, and there will be more and more nominations in the future, and you will become an excellent hero."

"Isn't it your childhood dream to be No.1?"

He is a rising sun in the sky.

And she was just an inconspicuous gravel on the ground, she didn't want to get burned by getting too close.

"We're not a good fit, Bakugou."

Yakai Riho finally said calmly.

"And I don't have that kind of feeling for you either."

Bakugo Katsuki silently listened to each other's words.

And the last sentence is the most important cornerstone that makes everything crumbling.

"Of course I would be a good hero."

Bakugo Katsuki spoke.

Everyone around him thought so since he was a child, including himself, except for Yahai Riho.

He thought of how when he was in middle school, he tore up Green Valley’s hero analysis notebook and threw it into the pool downstairs in the school. He thrust his waist in arrogance and pointed at himself with his thumb, saying that he would be admitted to Xiongying and become a hero to defeat Ol Mateden. When she was No.1, Yakai Riho, who was always so quiet in class that she was almost transparent, suddenly spoke——

"You're not going to be a hero."

When everyone was surprised that she dared to refute, the other party pursed her lips and continued——

"Heroes don't laugh at other people's dreams, but give encouragement or advice."

"Heroes will not bully the weak, but will bet on the title of hero and use their lives to protect them."

"There's nothing worse than laughing at bullying because you have a strong personality."

Being scolded for this for the first time, I was stunned for a moment, and then I was so angry that I gritted my teeth and came to her aggressively.

"Obviously just an impersonal piece of trash, but always dreaming of becoming a hero. Apart from useless notes and talking about it, what else has he done for it!? Not even exercising!"

Even with a strong personality, he has never slackened in studying and exercising, whether it is cultural subjects, physical fitness or personality, just to be admitted as the undisputed No.1 hero, and then defeat All Might to become the no.1 hero .

"But the hero is definitely not like you."

Mihai Riho squeezed the pen in his hand and looked at him, ignoring Izuku Midoriya who was nervously trying to dissuade her.

"I am very grateful that you saved me when the seniors bullied me, but the way you bully Mr. Lugu is no different from them."

"—It's all school violence."

Even though he was about to explode with anger at the time, perhaps subconsciously recognized these words, and he didn't refute any more, but just gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I will definitely become the best hero!"

When he walked to the door of the classroom angrily, he turned back and shouted: "You watch carefully!"

Maybe it was stimulated by these words, and after that, I didn't go out to find trouble with Lugu Izuku, but naively let out a heavy 'hum' when passing by the other party, and ignored it as if I didn't hear it when the other party greeted me. .

"Ah, I believe."

After hearing this, Yakai Riho gave him a relaxed smile.

"Now you can definitely do it."

Except for the middle school period when the other party always bullied Izuku Midoriya, I have always thought so since then.

She saw with her own eyes how the blond-haired young man in front of her changed step by step, and also saw how much effort he made for this.
