Meanwhile,
In a hall...
Third Person's POV
All members of Eight Bullets of Hassai group had gathered in the hall where Kai would meet them. Everyone was pretty much bewildered on why they were summoned by their boss all of a sudden.
"I wonder why Young Master wants to meet all of us at once." Toya Setsuno crossed his arms in his chest, tilting his head curiously. "Perhaps he has an important announcement to make." His friend, Yu Hojo stated logically, earning a nod from a stitched-masked man, Soramitsu Tabe.
"That is very rare of him to gather everyone here..." A bawler hat-wearing man name Shin Nemoto murmured. "Whaaatever it iiiss *hiccup* we must fulfill *hiccup* our dutyyyy. " Deidoro Sakaki interrupted his thoughts, his voice was slurry due to his drunken state.
"Maybe Overjerk wants to fight! Then I'm on it!" Kendo Rappa punched a large fist into his open palm, a smile of excitement creeped up onto his face. "It's Young Master Overhaul, not Overjerk, Rappa." Hikiji Tengai corrected him, discontent was evident in his eyes.
"Cut off the chitchat, you fools! Overhaul will be here any minute!" Joi Irinaka, better known as Mimic, scolded the yakuzas in madness. Rikiya Katsukame couldn't fit in his gigantic body in here so poor man had to wait outside.
Hari Kurono just silently watched them, patiently waiting for the head of Shie Hassaikai to arrive. Two different types of footsteps alerted the raincoat-wearing man. 'They are here, huh?' He thought, before Izuku's face showed up in his mind.
"Mimic, they are here." Hari informed the small manager , lowering his voice to whispering tone. "You guys, quiet! Overhaul is here." Mimic yelled to silence them. The crowds became quiet in split seconds.
Hari went to open the door, gradually revealing Kai's figure. His subordinates -- except for Rappa -- bowed down upon his arrival as a sign of respect to the second leader.
"Kai! Wait for me! Jeez, you are so fast!" A cute girl's voice caused some of the members to be in state of confusion. "Get up." Kai's monotonous voice spoke up. As he ordered, his underlings lifted their heads up back.
Everyone's eyes widened with surprise after seeing an unfamiliar girl standing next to Kai. This innocent-looking girl was hooking her right arm with his left arm, eyelashes fluttered with inquisitiveness, head tilting to the side like a little child.
When her eyes met with all the men's gaze, she squeaked adorably and hid behind Kai's tall being. Her hands clutched on the back of his fluffy green coat. "Come on, you don't need to hide behind me, Izuku. These people..." The dark brown-haired man paused there, staring at his underlings silently.
"... Are the important, special pieces of Shie Hassaikai." He continued, looking over his shoulder to glance at the shy greenette. Hearing his explanation, Izuku mustered her courage to inspect them. Her harlequin irises carefully scanned the masked-men's faces one by one.
Before she stopped at Toya.
Izuku stared at the blonde-haired male's face intensely, her mind trying to recall something. "That person..." She murmured sadly, catching Kai's attention. "What is the matter, Izuku?" He asked emotionlessly, though deep down he was concerned.
"That person... Stole the limited-edition pudding that you bought for me before..." Her eyebrows furrowed in sadness. Kai's heart burnt with furious flame. "Who stole it?" He asked, voice husky and deep.
"Him..." Izuku pointed to Toya hesitantly, afraid that the black-masked man would attack her. Toya, in the other hand, was totally perplexed by their odd conversation.
Kai turned to the direction Izuku pointed to. His gaze met Toya's confused expression. "Setsuno, meet me in my office later." He commanded sternly. Oh, looked like the young man was going to get a good scolding.
After felt like eternity, Izuku eventually came out of her hiding spot. She stepped forward, still studying these people called the Eight Bullets of the Hassai group.
All of a sudden, her sight landed on the black bird midget who was crossing his small arms. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. Without warning, the oblivious female picked Mimic up and hugged him affectionately, as if he was a cute, fluffy plush.
"Wah~ So cute! You are so adorable and small! Kya~" She squealed innocently without knowing the truth. Mimic screeched in discomfort. He was struggling to release himself from the teenager's hold, but dang, this girl was mysteriously strong despite her skinny form!
"Ne, Kai! Can I have him? Can I? I mean, this little plush is so soft and cute!"
"No, Izuku. That is—"
"Could it be this is a present for me? Uwa, thank you, Kai! He looks so much like you and everyone in this room! Look at that cute beak! He is like the mascot of Shie Hassaikai!"
Izuku didn't stop with her fangirling and rambling about Mimic's appearance. Little did the girl know that the plush she was hugging was actually alive.
The small angry bird let out an ear-piercing screech before he jumped out of Izuku's arms. "You little...!! I'm not a mascot! I'm the manager of Shie Hassaikai, Mimic!" He screamed furiously, eyeballs bulding out from the plush he possessed.
Izuku didn't say anything. Instead, her cutest excited smile spread across her face. "Even though you are angry, you still look so precious!" She giggled gleefully. Mimic cursed under his breath and was about to talk back when Hari intruded them.
"Mimic, stop it." The right-hand man warned. Mimic scoffed and walked away from the young mistress. Izuku restlessly waited for any of them to speak again.
"Today I want everyone to meet Izuku. She is Pops' first grandchild... And the young lady of Shie Hassaikai." Kai introduced Izuku to his loyal subordinates, his hand patting her back.
"My name is Izuku Midoriya. Nice to meet everyone!" A sweet smile laced her beautiful freckles-sprinkled face. Fuzzy, warm aura radiated from her body. The yakuzas had such peaceful expressions when they sensed that positive vibes of her.
"From now on, you guys and you too, Mimic, will serve as her bodyguards." Kai's announcement astonished everybody, including Izuku and Mimic.
"E-eh? But I don't need bodyguards, Kai. I-I can take care of myself!" Izuku objected strongly. Bodyguard was the least thing she favoured.
"No, that is not necessary. You obviously need bodyguards to protect you, Izuku, since you carry the title as the Young Mistress of Shie Hassaikai. You could become the target of kidnapping of the enemies or villains." Kai stated calmly. His excuse was logical and made sense that Izuku couldn't deny him.
"You understand now, don't you? You need people to protect you from danger and villains."
"I understood."
Izuku half-heartedly complied with his resolution.
"Oho, now I get it! In other words, if we protect this girl, you will agree to fight me? That's great, Overjerk!" Rappa crowed excitedly, pumping his large fists up and down. But Kai shook his head in disagreement.
'Overjerk? Is that Kai's nickname?' Izuku stared at Kai's face long. The said man stared at her face back in confusion.
"Overjerk?" She uncertainly uttered the insulting nickname, purely oblivious about it. This innocent girl didn't know it was an insult from Rappa to Kai.
Veins popped up on Kai's forehead. His hands were shaking from anger, but he knew he couldn't lash out at Izuku. She obviously didn't meant to insult him.
"I remember I have an urgent business to attend. I need to go now. Chrono, Mimic, come with me. You guys stay with Izuku until I return." Kai immediately changed the topic before he went out of control. He was usually a patient man but hearing Izuku calling him with such filthy name enraged him.
Izuku still innocently stared at him with her big round eyes. She placed one finger on the corner of her lips, baffled by his reaction.
