A few days later,
Shie Hassaikai hideout,
Underground passage,
Morning...

Third Person's POV

After her little talk with Shin, Izuku returned to her normal cheerful. She didn't keep her distant anymore or shunned anyone who tried to approach her. Instead, she greeted them with open arms and with her angelic smile.

Kai, Hari and the Eight Bullets of Hassai group were relieved to see her change in mood and personality. Now, they can communicate normally like before.

At least that is what everyone (except Izuku) thought.

Izuku was scrolling through her phone, making research about loves and romantic relationship online. Ever since that night – the time she talked to Shin – she was strongly determined to understand herself better, and made the right choice when the time came. And she was prepared for the consequences awaiting her in the future.

The green-haired female tapped on an orange and white button with the letter "W" written on it. It was a famous novel-reading app, Wattpad. She recently downloaded it after she stumbled upon the interesting app while researching about love.

Using this app, Izuku read love stories to understand about romance and love better. And she realized, the symptoms the female protagonist had were the same ones she experienced. This caused her to be nervous, knowing that she was very close to reaching the climax of her research.

The teenage girl proceeded to read one of the famous romance novel on Wattpad, when her eyebrows suddenly furrowed in confusion. She tilted her head, trying to understand the foreign word.

Several minutes passed, no matter how many times she re-read the sentence, she couldn't understand the meaning. Frustrated and desperated to know, Izuku walked over to Tengai who was talking to Hojo. The two adults stopped talking upon seeing their young lady.

"Yes, Young Lady. How can I help you?" The monk-like man asked politely. Izuku seemed quite troubled, since her lips were curling up in dissatisfaction.

"Tengai-san, what does "make love" mean?"

Only with that one question caused everyone in the room to choke on the air. Tengai already turned into a stone statue, not expecting such innocent question from her. Toya, Soramitsu and Rappa stared at Izuku with extremely wide eyes. It looked like their eyeballs would pop out of their heads.

Hojo was massaging his head in perplexity, half-believed in his hearing. Did he hear it wrong? Did Izuku just ask what make love meant?

"Pardon for the intrusion, Young Lady. Can you repeat your question?" The bald-headed man asked with pure curiosity. "I'm asking what "make love" mean. I don't understand it." She breathed out a sigh of dismay, feeling disappointed in herself for her lack of knowledge.

Hojo facepalmed.

Meanwhile, Rappa had a big mischievous smirk plastered on his face. Toya's eyes were twitching in disbelief, while Soramitsu shook his head.

"Okay, I know Young Lady is innocent, but I never expected she is this innocent." The blond-haired man exclaimed, surprise evident in his yellow eyes.

Izuku was still staring at Tengai's face, eagerly waiting for his answer. The man regained his sense. He opened his left eye, looking at the confused girl silently as his mind tried to find a way to explain the meaning properly; without tainting her innocence.

"Um... "Make love" means... A person spends their night together with their partner alone." He carefully worded his clarification. But Izuku was unsatisfied.

"How does a person spend their night with their partner? What do they do when they are together? Why they have to be alone to " make love"? Can't other people join them in making love? Because the more, the merrier, right?" Izuku, extremely curious, began bombaring the yakuza with oh-so innocent question.

Tengai couldn't bear to hear her question anymore. He turned to look at Toya, hinting for help. The plague-masked male pointed his index finger to himself, and Tengai nodded his head.

'Wait, why me?! Did he think I could explain to Young Lady in innocent way?! Heck no!' Toya mentally panicked. He shook his head, disagreeing with Tengai's crazy idea.

"I'm not quite sure myself so you can ask Setsuno, Young Lady, since he is much more knowlegdeable than me." The close-eyed man stated without his comrade's consent. Toya internally screamed in worry.

Izuku turned to look at Toya before jogging toward him. "Is it true, Setsuno-san? You know what "make love" mean?" Her emerald eyes brightened up with excitement. Seeing her all eager pang his heart with guilt.

"Err... Um... You see, Young Lady, make love... Only happen between a couple of lovers." Toya started, scratching his cheek in complete nervousness. Izuku nodded her head understandingly, determined to find out more.

"Only between two lovers... Well then, what kind of activities you do when you are making love with your lover?" She tilted her head again. Toya was sweating bullet upon hearing her next question.

"A-activities? Um, they... They kiss... They... Take off their clothes...? A-and then.... Um... Mostly, the boyfriend will give his girlfriend, ugh... Dark marks on her neck... To show she is taken... And after that they...they..." Dark pink shades tinted on his face. He couldn't hold back the embarrassment bottling up in him.

"Huh?" Izuku resulted to silence as she listened carefully to his explanation. Her mind suddenly recalled the moment Kai forced her in his bed before. The scenario played in her head over and over again while Toya's explanation echoed along.

'Huh...? Kisses, taking off clothes, dark marks... These activities are very similar to what Kai did to me before...' Her heartbeat increased when the thought crossed her mind.

"W-why did lovers make love, Setsuno-san?" She stuttered in uneasiness.

"Huh? Oh, they make love... To show their loves to their partner... Or maybe have a baby." Toya accidentally blurted out the last part, before a rush of realization hit him.

Oh dear. He messed up.

Izuku's phone fell off from her hand, landing on the floor. Her palms cupped her reddened-cheeks in embarrassment.

'In other words, Kai... Kai wanted to have baby with me back then? And showed his love toward me? O-Oh my gosh!' Izuku eventually exploded after everything clicked.

The teenage girl let out an ear-piercing scream, embarrassed by this feelingg she didn't even fully understand. She covered her face with her palm before rushing out of the living area, heading back to her bed room to clear her mind from all those improper thoughts.

Toya and the others stared at her in turbelence. "What is that for?" Hojo asked, and everyone shrugged their shoulders.

"Maybe she remembered something dirty Overjerk did to her." Rappa laughed at his own statement, though it was actually the truth. And he was the only one who knew about what Kai had done to her before, since he was there when they were alone together in the yakuza leader's bedroom.

Toya and the others' eyes widened in shock. "What the heck are you—"

"It ain't a lie, Mr.Steal Your Girl! Overjerk almost smashed her—"

"That's enough! I'm sick of you talking trash about Young Master and Young Lady!" Tengai activated his Barrier and surrounded it around Rappa, quieting him. The large man huffed in annoyance.

Toya was heartbroken when he heard the inevitable truth. '... Young Lady... Had been touched by Young Master before...?' He clenched his fists in frustration.
