Izuku took a small sip of water as he was sitting on the couch, he then looked down next to him where Eri was.

They returned from UA and it was the next day, after Recovery Girl checked on her, but couldn't really do anything given how terrified the girl was and the fact she wouldn't let go of either Izuku or Himiko the entire time. Because of this, Recovery Girl wasn't able to see if she was healthy or not, so she just relied on her instincts and gave her a very strict diet to help her regain some weight. She also prescribed her some vitamins to help her, but till then she told Izuku and Himiko to stay with her since it's obvious she's been abused and has lots of trauma.

Izuku reached his hand out and very, very gently placed it on her head and rubbed small circles on it and he saw it, she slightly leaned into the touch, most likely being one of the few times she's ever had a comforting touch before in her life.

It felt warm and it reminded her of when he held her close, to comfort and protect her. Not that she knew those emotions, all she has ever remembered is pain and suffering, then him and that girl with blonde hair and yellow eyes changed all that and is letting her experience things she's never felt. They felt weird to her and yet, she wants to feel these.. warm? Emotions more.

Eri was currently wearing Izukus old clothes, not that she seemed to care and Himiko even suggested she wear his current clothes since it'd look adorable on her, seeing her wear giant clothes.

They were both cut off from this tender moment when they heard Nightcaller clicking his beak as he landed on the arm rest next to Izuku.

Izuku was about to reach over and pet the top of his head, but stopped when he felt Eri freeze and try to get away from Nightcaller since it reminded her of Overhaul.

"Shh, it's ok Eri" said Izuku gently as he pulled her into another hug, which made the fear die down and made her chest feel warm and made her feel safe.

He continued to hold her for a couple more minutes as he gently rubbed her back, trying to soothe her as much as he could.

"Your safe, Eri. I promise no one will hurt you, let alone Nightcaller" said Izuku as he continued to comfort her.

Meanwhile in the room, the combat and regular maids all nodded in agreement, they could all feel Izukus emotions right now and would protect Eri with their lives.

"Eri I know your scared of him, but I promise Nightcaller won't hurt you, he just wants to see if your ok" said Izuku.

Very slowly she opened her red eyes and peeked out from Izukus chest and saw the raven sitting on Izukus knee and was looking at her with a look that seemed like he was apologizing.

She then saw Izuku bring his free hand out and gently pat the raven on its head, making it let out happy croons. But completely unaware that the summons in the room had looks of jealousy, especially Lupusregina.

Very slowly she reached her hand out and touched Nightcaller, who happily let out happy croons at the feeling and before Eri knew it, she was petting him and it brought feelings she couldn't describe

Nightcaller than got closer to her and gently rubbed his head against her cheek and it made that warm feeling come to her again, but even stronger.

"Izuku I made us and Eri some food" said Himiko entering the room with a tray that had some sandwiches on them, just to be simple "here you two go" she then put them down before sitting down next to Eri.

"W-what's that" she said in curiosity, before quickly stopping and covering her mouth since she just asked a question which is against the rules and she knew that she'd be severely punished. But instead of that, she saw Izuku give a look of sadness before he spoke.

"These are sandwiches" he said before picking up one and holding it up for her "its just bread with some meat on it".

Now Eri was very confused, was she supposed to eat this? all she's ever known is those green bricks, yet this is so different and it smells so good.

Izuku and Himiko both heard Eri's stomach growl loudly and for the first time they saw her look something akin to embarrassed.

"Try it, it's good" said Himiko with a fanged smile that made Eri let out a small gasp that revealed something she quickly hid by shutting her mouth.

Very slowly like with Nightcaller, she grabbed the sandwich and very gently took a bite and her eyes sparkled immediately, having never tasted anything like this before and before she knew it, she was quickly eating it, scared that it would be taken away if she didn't.

As she was eating her sandwich, Himiko noticed something, she had tiny fangs much like herself and this shocked her since that was extremely uncommon.

"Eri I didn't know you had fangs like me" said Himiko, getting Izuku's attention as well as he looked at her.

Eri immediately froze as she remembered what Overhaul and the Doctor told her would happen if she ever showed them and she began to get scared and shake, she then saw Izuku's hand coming towards her and she closed her eyes waiting for the pain, but instead she was met with a warm hand, gently petting her head.

"It's ok Eri, we aren't going to do anything, we were just shocked is all" he said.

Looking at him for a moment in awe and feeling even safer around him, she very gently spoke "I... I got them one day... after the doctor and O-mean man was done" she said, not saying his name since she knew that he'd kill her as he said and it always hurt since he'd do it slowly. "O-one day I woke up.. and mouth was like this and my ears were different".

Now both Izuku and Himiko were curious and scared since from what they could make out, the people who hurt her and gave her those scars, made her get those fangs and something about her ears.

"I.. I have to hide them or else I get hurt... they s-say it's signs of someone who's cursed" said Eri.

Izuku and Himiko felt anger well up in them, but for Izuku, it was much darker and he swore that for half a second, he heard a voice in his head telling him to succumb to the hatred and punish those that hurt her.

Taking a deep breath, Izuku calmed himself down and looked at Eri "your not any of those things Eri, your a sweet girl who was taken advantage of by monsters".

She looked at him and saw nothing but truth and warmth in his eyes, so she decided to trust her savior even more and she brought her hand up and took off her hat, revealing short, pointed ears.

Eri was expecting punishment, but instead she was met with something else.

"Oh my kami, they are so cute" said Himiko, making Eri freeze for a moment.

As Himiko was now gushing over Eri, Izuku sent a mental signal two of his newest summons so far and asked her to come here.

It took a minute but said summon entered the room.

"You called for me master?" Asked Riniya walking over to him with a raised green eyebrow while she strapped her bow to her back.

Next to her was a beautiful elf looking woman with blue eyes and long blonde hair. Her name was Alpha and she was wearing an ebony bodysuit ornamented with gold accents and a cutout-style chest design. A gold diamond is centered on the lower sternum, with two gold stripes descending below the chest cutout. The stripes continue down until they conjoin the hip decorations. Along Alpha's hips are ornate golden streaks, adorned with three belts that wrap around her hamstrings. On her feet, she wears block high heels with gold-edged collars. Dark bracers covered in golden ornamentation protect her hands.

Himiko god very jealous of her when Izuku also gushed about her elven ears, then the bitch in her opinion, gave Himiko a cocky grin as she wiggled them for her master.

Himiko was very angry that day.

"Yes, this is Eri, could you do me a favor and show her your ears, so she can see others that have similar ones?" He asked hoping it didn't sound weird.

Shrugging her shoulders, she walked forward and stood before Eri, then crouched down and gave her a warm smile "Hi I'm Riniya, my master asked me to help you" she then began to wiggle her long elven ears.

Eris eyes immediately caught sight of them and was shocked, someone else had ears like hers? But they were even longer than her own.

Before she knew it, herself, Eri reached her hand out and ever so gently touched them and her eyes got even bigger from doing that, since they weren't fake. Someone else had ears like hers and if what Izuku said was really true, then she wasn't a monster like the doctor and Overhaul called her.

"You have ears like me" said Eri in awe.

"Well, mine are longer, but yes, we have the same ears" said Riniya with a small smile.

Eri's eyes then went to the other elven woman who let a tiny smile cross her face as she kneeled down infront of her and Eri also reached out and touched her long pointed ears.

Izuku couldn't help but smile as he watched Eri do this and see a look of wonder and awe in her eyes, seeing that she wasn't the only one.

Himiko smiled to, but that quickly stopped when both summons looked at her with cocky grins and wiggled their ears, knowing that Izuku liked them.

A tick mark quickly formed on her forehead and she had a sickly sweet smile on her face that promised pain and suffering.

They were all cut off when they heard the doorbell ring and one of the maids walked towards the door to see who it was.

"Fith, who is it?" Asked Izuku looking at her.

"It's some of your classmates, master Izuku. Should I let them in" she asked.

"Yes, let them in, please" said Izuku as he stood up to greet them.

Eri hearing that others were about to enter the room, quickly let go of Alpha's and Riniyas ears and put her hat on and quickly ran to Izuku and hugged his leg, while hiding behind it.

A decent amount of class 1A was here, with them being Ochako, Mina, Toru, Momo, Toru, Tsu, Tokoyami, Kirishima and lastly Rikina.

"Hiya Midori" said Mina happily as she skipped up to him and was about to hug him, but stopped when she saw Eri hiding behind his leg and was poking her head out slightly. "Oh my kami she's so cute!".

Mina squatted down to her height and gave her a warm smile "Hi I'm Mina, what's your name?".

Eri getting startled by this hid again behind Izukus legs and hugged them tighter. Feeling this, he gently reached down and picked her up, as soon as he did, she latched onto his chest and hid her face in it, hoping they couldn't see her.

The girls couldn't help but see this as absolutely adorable, seeing Izuku try and comfort her. Meanwhile with Himiko.

"Husband material" she thought as a fire roared inside of her.

"But um, Midoriya who is she?" Said Ochako a little curious who this girl was.

"This is Eri.. me and Himiko were leaving UA yesterday when we found her, covered in rags and bandages. We quickly went back and saw Recovery Girl, who tried to check on her, but she panicked. She wouldn't let go of either me or Himiko".

Himiko felt multiple stares and she gave them all a smug grin.

"Because of how she reacted to her, Recovery Girl told us to watch her until we find something better, given she sees us as the only safe people" finished Izuku.

"Poor girl.." said Momo quietly.

"It truly is a shame what monsters in the dark shall do" said Tokoyami.

Sadly for all of them, that's when Eri peeked her head out and as soon as she saw Tokoyami.

She froze before she began to squirm in Izuku's arms trying to get away.

"Riniya, Alpha help my friends. I'll be right back" said Izuku as he quickly walked off, holding Eri who was still having a slight panic attack.

Tokoyami saw the look in her eyes and recognized it immediately, he's seen lots of kids shake in fear at his appearance, but nothing like that.

"So what is it you wish of our master" said Alpha kindly, but her tone had an underline threat in it.

Some were a little thrown off by her calling him master, but others just decided to ignore it and ask what they came for.

"We were hoping to train with Midoriya-bro, he's really good with combat, so we were hoping he'd have some time to train with us" said Kirishima.

"I agree.. I was also hoping to train with Izukus weapon master" said Momo.

Almost instantly, she felt glares on her for saying one of the summons was Izukus master. None of them would ever try and take that title, for it'd mean they thought they were better than him and that'd be one of the greatest sins they could commit.

With Izuku he was holding Eri who was still squirming in his arms and crying as she thought they were back to hurt her.

"Shh, it's ok" said Izuku as he gently as he rubbed her back to comfort her.

"N-no they a-a-are gonna hurt me" she said, crying.

He then changed how he was holding her and had her ear pressed against his chest, where his heart was and held her in his arms as he stroaked the back of her head.

"It's ok, Eri. I'm right here" he said.

It took a minute before she started to calm down, and she eventually fell asleep in his arms.

Smiling softly at her, he carried her to his room and gently put her in his bed before tucking her in to let her get some sleep. After that he walked back down to the living room and saw that none of his class was in here or Himiko and only a maid or two were.

"Where'd everyone go?" He asked looking at one of the maids.

"Ms Himiko brought them to the gym so they could train" she said.

"I see, thank you" Izuku said before walking down the long halls towards the gym, where he had all his workout equipment and even an area to train with his quirk and summons.

Arriving, he was met with the sight of some of his classmates' training. Momo was currently training with Maki, who was kicking her ass currently.

"H-how is Midoriya so good as using this thing.." said Momo panting in exhaustion from fighting Maki.

"He's been training his body for years and he has a natural talent for weapons" she said not revealing that his natural talent comes from her.

"Still... it's so hard.. I keep hitting myself with this.. plus I can barely block your strikes" said Momo.

"Most people don't know how to fight against a weapon that's unpredictable, that's why your struggling, it can act like a staff, nunchucks, club and it can even grab people" said Maki.

"F-fair enough" she said, forcing herself up and held her sanjiegun.

Izuku then looked over and saw Rikina training with his new mid range fighter, named Choso. He was using his blood to cover his forearms and helping her with her own quirk that worked slightly similar.

Some summons got angry at Choso though, when he called Izuku little brother and not master, so right now he was on most of the summons bad side, for that comment.

Choso suddenly lifted his hand and easily blocked a strike from Kirishima, he then kicked him in the chest, sending him flying since he wasn't expecting that.

"Both of you are decent, but you two rely far to heavily on brute strength and just tanking everything" said Choso as he looked over and saw Izuku and he grew a small smile. "Master are you ready to begin training with me?".

"Maybe tomorrow, I still have to help Eri and my classmates" said Izuku.

"Very well, I understand and look forward to it, to make you stronger" said Choso.

Izuku smiled as he watched Choso go back to train Rikina and Kirishima, Izuku then looked over and saw Himiko training with Alpha who was using her sword against Himikos knives, which she has become extremely proficient in.

His eyes then went over to where Mina and Toru were and his face instantly got red. They were both stretching right and each of them was standing on one leg while holding the other Up above their heads.

"Hey master, your classmates are doing really good said Riniya as she walked over holding her bow and looked at him, knocking him out of his stare which he quickly reprimeded himself about.

"They really are and I'm happy to see them get so much stronger.. but I think I should join in so I can get stronger" he said.

"Should I join ya?" She said "I'm mainly a ranged fighter, so I could make it more challenging for you".

"No, I'm... you know what, yes" Izuku said "I won't be allowed to use items as I fight and have to rely completely on my quirk... but I don't want to reveal all of you".

Riniya and every summon could understand that, even if it did hurt a little.

Izukus quirk was way to powerful and different from everyone else's, the hero association or league would stop at nothing to get him and make him apart of them.

So Izuku sent a mental command to Sebas who said he was on his way and he walked over to the sparring area of the gym, passing by Ochako and Kyoka who were currently using some of Izukus weights.

Arriving at the area, he was gonna get started training when he heard someone call out for him.

"I-Izuku, Himiko..." said Eri looking around the room, absolutely terrified.

Both of them turned and saw her and as soon as she saw them, she ran as fast as her legs would let her and was picked up by Himiko.

"Hey what's wrong?" She asked looking down at Eri, who was holding her as tight as her arms and hands, would allow.

"I-I was scared... I was alone i-in that room" she said quietly, but as soon as Eri saw Izuku and he was close enough, she immediately grabbed his shirt and he took her from Himiko and held her.

"It's ok Eri, you fell asleep, so I just put you in my bed so you can get some sleep" said Izuku.

"W-whats a bed?" She asked softly.

Izuku felt a wave of rage well up inside him, but he forced it down and looked at her calmly "it's something we sleep on that's comfortable and is good for our backs".

Eri looked at him confused, but nodded her head "I never had one... I only got floor and blanket".

Now both Izuku and Himiko felt waves of rage flow through them, which they had to suppress again.

"Well not anymore, you will get a nice big comfy bed and very delicious meals, plus enough happiness that you'll just burst" said Himiko, giving Eri a fanged smile.

Eri looked at her both shocked and confused, so she just nodded her head, not really understanding it.

"Master I brought all of your friends, refreshments and food" said the chef summon with three maids behind him, holding trays of lemonade and various snacks, but one of them stood out from the rest.

A lone glazed apple that Izuku asked him to make for Eri so she could try something sweet but still healthier.

Handing out the drinks and snacks, the chef brought the apple to Eri and offered her it, but she shied away and hid in Izuku's chest hoping he wouldn't see her.

"I'm sorry, she's still nervous" said Izuku taking the apple.

"It's alright, master. I don't hold it against her" he said before giving a small bow and leaving to prepare today's lunch.

"Eri" Izuku said softly, trying to coax her out, which she reluctantly did and looked up at him "try this, it's good".

Eri looked at the red object before her that had some weird red glaze over it. Very slowly she brought her hand out and took it from him and looked at it, wondering what she was supposed to do.

"Eat it, it's delicious" he said with a smile.

Very slowly and carefully she opened her mouth, making her canines barely be seen, before she bit down on the apple.

Instantly, life flooded her eyes as they sparkled, and she looked something, akin to happy.

"I-it's good" she said before taking another bite and not being able to comprehend it, it was so good and it felt like her tongue was gonna explode from the flavor of the apple.

As Eri munched on the apple, Izuku and Himiko watched this with very happy expressions and some of the girls and summons noted one thing about them.

They looked like a family.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

All the way back at UA was Katsuki and Todoroki who were training in separate gyms.

Katsuki was on a warpath destroying absolutely everything in his path as he raged out.

He couldn't believe Deku got off the hook for everything, and now he's just getting stronger, which meant he will have to make himself stronger to put Deku back in his rightful place.

As a worthless piece of quirkless trash under his boot.

As he was raging, Hound Dog was watching all of this and sighed heavily, absolutely nothing he did worked with him. It seemed that Katsuki only responds to violence or those that go against him.

Elsewhere in a different gym was Todoroki, who flooded the entire gym in a thick layer of ice.

He was one shotting everything and always using the exact same strategy, no matter what, and this was something that every villain with a brain would exploit.

Meanwhile far outside of UA was Iida who left UA and was in a angry mood, he didn't understand why the school wasn't following the law to the exact letter like they are supposed to do.

It made no sense to him, no matter how much he thought about it. The school was supposed to foster the future generation of heroes, yet these students were more concerned with friendships. Or in Midoriya and Himikos case, physical affection.

Now Midoriya, he couldn't begin to understand why they'd keep such a dangerous student here, plus All Might even mentioned on multiple occasions that Midoriya is responsible for that monster in the USJ that tried to kill Katsuki.

His mind then went to something else that infuriated him; him and Katsuki were getting punished with a 300 page essay on what they did wrong, 200 hours of community service, and after-school detention.

He continued to walk as he seethed in rage and as he walked, he passed a alley and saw something.

"S-spar yen?" Said a young man holding his hand out, but clear on his temple was the brand of a quirkless person and Iida finally snapped.

Before the man could even do anything, Iida kicked him hard in the face "get out of here, you quirkless piece of garbage" he barked before storming off, still fuming about all the bad UA is doing.

No one in the street really paid this any mind, that person was quirkless and was a second-class citizen.

Holding his broken nose, the young man slowly got up and glared with hatred at the quirked people before he slowly began to force his body to move and hoped to make it to the city for quirkless. He'd be safe there and hopefully one day soon, the messiah the quirkless have been waiting for the last fifty five years for.

The messiah shall lead them to a new future and give them the life they want back. They only had to keep waiting and soon, the messiah will come and save them all from this fate.

He began to head west towards the quirkless city, but he didn't make it far before he felt cold steel go through his back and come out his lower back.

"Hey" said a voice.

He slowly looked down and saw the blade piercing him, then it retracted and pierced him again in a different spot.

"Hey" said the male voice again.

He tried to move his head, but then the blade pierced him again and again and again, before he finally collapsed again.

"Aww are you already broken? Man quirkless people are so weak.. but that's what makes it fun to see them squirm in pain" said the male voice in glee as he held up his sword and started to stab him over and over again until he died.

"Aww now he really is broken.. oh what's this?" He reached down and picked up a family picture and grew a dark grin "Oh your rewarding me? Why thank you".

The killer than happily walked away as he twirled his sword, happy that he always gets to kill quirkless people.

Aizawa was walking towards a store to investigate something as he remembered something that Mineta said and how his family basically owned a quirkless person or two.

To this day, it still disgusted him that this society did things like this and they judged others for something they can't control and just played the blame and victim game.

He continued to walk a short distance before he arrived at the store that was one by Minetas family. He near the window and took one quick peek and that was all he needed to see what they were like.

Multiple people were very thin and looked to almost being worked to death, since in this area, quirk discrimination was even more severe than normal and you could do anything but kill a quirkless person.

This meant lots of businesses used this to get cheap labor by having quirkless work for them and pay them only a fraction of what someone with a quirk would get paid.

"GET BACK TO WORK YOU LAZY PIECES OF FILTH!!" Shreeked a female voice as a short woman with grape like hair walked out from the back and smacked one of her workers that was resting a moment.

She was about to hit him again, when Aizawa appeared and grabbed her hand, stopping her.

"W-what? Who the heck are you?" She snapped at him.

"I'm Aizawa, a teacher from UA" he said calmly.

"Ah the school my stupid son went to, oh well, can always make more" she said while trying to get her hand out of his grip.

"Ma'am your under arrest for abuse, bodily harm, overworking your employees and child labor" he said as he looked at a kid who was probably no older than seven.

"What? No I'm not, what I'm doing is completely legal, they are all quirkless" she snarled.

"In this city yes, but not in this province" he said while cuffing her and calling Tsukauchi, since he knew that he'd get a case on this and this woman would be punished.

It wouldn't be till he arrived that they also found another dark secret. The Minetas had a small slave trade going and sold quirkless people and the police did absolutely nothing, and we're even aware of this.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was the next day and Izuku was sitting in Nezus office waiting for said principal, the students had two weeks before the sports festival so they were all training even harder than before.

Himiko was helping Ochako with hand to hand combat, since Himiko used her whole body to fight and not just arms and legs, which made her much more dangerous.

"I have returned" said Nezu, appearing out of the ceiling through a black and red portal.

"Umm, principal Ne-" "don't worry about it" said Nezu, cutting off Izuku before a black tentacle brought Nezu to his chair and he sat down. "Now onto what I wished to dicuss with you, your quirk".

"Um.. what about it?" He said feeling a little confused given how he said it.

"Well given how your quirk is, if you show your summons, it'd cause the hero association to come after you faster than the IRS comes after some lady that gives her son five bucks" said Nezu.

"That... felt personal".

"It is and I wanna see it burn" said Nezu, showing a tint of rage in his normal, black soulless eyes.

"Ummm ok... but what should I do then?" Said Izuku.

"Well use your summons powers, but don't summon any of them and I'm sure you know that support weapons or tools are forbidden for hero course students, unless they are vital for the quirk" said Nezu.

"Ok I can understand that... do I need to know anything else?" Said Izuku.

"Hmm no that's about all I wanted to discuss. Unless you wanna help me hide some bodies" said Nezu with a straight face.

"Huh? Wait what b-" Izuku was cut off when several bodies slammed onto the floor in a bloody mangled mess.

Izuku stared at the bodies for a long moment before looking at Nezu "N-nezu why do all them have the mark of communists".

"Do you really want that answer Izuku or would you rather go home?" Said Nezu as another body fell from the ceiling, and it had a shirt saying PETA.

"........ I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see any of this" said Izuku.

"Oh but you didn't" said Nezu with a smile as he looked at the readers "I do what I want and you can't stop me" he then snapped his fingers.

___

Izuku arrived back at home from talking to Nezu and he was a little annoyed that he kept making jokes about something called Liber-Tea that he owned. Though for some strange reason, Izuku couldn't shake the feeling he was missing something from his memory.

"Welcome home master Izuku" said Sebas giving him a small bow along with a couple other summons nearby.

Smiling awkwardly, he nodded to them. He asked them before to not do this, but they found it hard not to show him nothing but respect.

"How was your meeting with Nezu?" He asked curiously.

"It was ok... Nezu was being Nezu though" said Izuku feeling nervous for some reason.

Nezu really did find a way to do weird things that no one could explain.

Meanwhile off somewhere on earth was Nezu, who currently had a couple of demons he summoned, dig him a large hole.

"Yes I do remember him doing weird things" said Sebas "also Uraraka, Ashido, Yayorozu, and Hagakure are still here training from after you left".

"That's fine, is Eri ok?" Said Izuku.

"She's... she's stayed in her room, even when Ms Himiko tried to get her out, but she refused to since you weren't here and she felt unsafe" said Sebas.

Immediately a wave of guilt hit him at hearing that he really should've brought Eri with him since both he and Himiko knew that she was much more attached to him.

"I'll go check on her, tell Himiko I'm back and I'm checking on Eri" said Izuku.

"Very well sir" said Sebas before leaving and walking towards the gym.

Izuku went and climbed up the steps to upstairs and walked a little ways before coming to his bedroom, where he opened the door and saw a small bed on the floor that was unoccupied. His eyes then went to his own bed where Eri currently was and was sitting curled up in a ball with a blanket over her.

"Eri" he said gently.

Instantly her eyes snapped to him and as soon as she saw him, her feet moved and she ran as fast as her little legs would let her and before she could hug Izukus legs, she was scooped up by him and hugged.

"I'm sorry.. I should've brought you with me, but you looked really tired" said Izuku.

"P-please don't leave me alone... it was scary.." she said.

"I won't, but Himiko is here and she would've cared for you" said Izuku.

Eri felt a ball of guilt well up in her from that, she knew Himiko would, but she was to scared to ask even though Himiko was present when Izuku found Eri.

"I-I'm sorry..." she said quietly and looked dejected.

"It's ok, it's my fault.. now come on let's go say to Himiko then I'll tell you about the sports festival we are training for" said Izuku with a small smile.

"Sports f-festal?" She said struggling with the word.

"Festival and yes, you'll get to see me and Himiko participate in it" he said.

Eri didn't understand any of that, but she didn't care.. as long as she got to be near or see Izuku, she felt safe and her chest felt weird and warm. A emotion she didn't know was happiness.
