Chapter 105: New Residents
Author: Geraint
In the backyard behind Might Dormitory, Ichika was doing push-ups with a huge boulder on his back. Roboco was sitting on top of it, working on a tablet.
"11,587!""11,588!""11,589!""11,590!"
"Father, our annual net profit this month has increased by 4%," Roboco reported while he continued his workout, sweat dripping onto the soil. His hands were already sinking into the ground from the weight.
Slowing down, Ichika replied,"11,591! That's good. I guess that's another $5.2 billion net increase this month. Let's reinvest in another venture. 11,592!"
"Don't you have anything else to do with your money, Father?"
"Hmm... Do you want anything, daughter?"
"Nope. I'm content with what I have."
"You should let your father spoil you a bit."
"I'm an android. I can't consume anything except electricity."
"How about I turn you into a human?"
"I think that's impossible. Don't get my hopes up."
"Belfast left a reality stone on her smaller body. We can use that to turn you human."
Roboco jumped down from the boulder, and Ichika stood up, letting the boulder crash to the ground.
Thud!
Ichika summoned the stones from his palm and picked out the glowing red one with his gloved right hand.
"Father... are you sure about this?"
"Of course! Hehehe..." Ichika grinned and placed the stone on her chest.
The stone glowed brightly as it sank into her.
Roboco gasped. Her body began to feel strange, and she dropped to her knees, hugging herself as heat built up in her chest.
"Father... I'm overheating."
Her body glowed briefly. Then she looked down and began examining herself.
"Hm?"She touched her stomach, then her chest.
"Mmmmh!" she moaned, her cheeks turning red.
"Roboco, what are you doing?"
"Checking myself."
She reached down and suddenly froze.
"NNNNN~ A hole? It feels strange... more like I can feel my body!"
Looking at her fingers, she saw a clear liquid.
"Father! Look!" she held up her wet fingers proudly.
"Stop it! Don't touch yourself!" Ichika scolded.
"I'm gonna go check my body with Manami-chan!" Roboco exclaimed and ran inside.
"Oi—!"Ichika sighed as his daughter dashed off without listening. He massaged his temple.
"Being a father is really hard."
He grabbed a clean towel and wiped the sweat from his face.
"I guess I'll take a bath."
After bathing, with nothing else to do while everyone else got ready for school, Ichika decided to walk around the city to see what had changed. He wore a hoodie, face mask, and sunglasses to disguise himself.
Passing by a store window, he caught his reflection—he looked like a shady guy. But it was better than being recognized. Ever since revealing himself as Captain Falcon, he'd become incredibly famous. Not only was he a Pro Hero and singer, but also All Might's only child and the next Symbol of Peace.
He bought a drink from a nearby store. The saleslady eyed him suspiciously, but he left without a word after getting his change.
He wandered into a comic shop and made his way to the cooking section, only to spot someone dressed just like him—a very short teenage boy with a large, round head, stubby nose, and purple mohawk-like hair clumps. Ichika immediately recognized him.
He quietly followed the boy to a curtain marked "R-18." The boy went inside, and Ichika, curious, followed him in.
His eyes widened at the sight of so many magazines with naked, beautiful women.
"I see... This is interesting," he muttered, removing his sunglasses and mask.
He picked up a magazine featuring a half-naked tanned woman with thick thighs.
"Nice! Those are some great abs... and juicy thighs!" Ichika grinned.
"Huh?"
They both looked up and locked eyes. Disgust appeared on both their faces.
The short boy pointed accusingly, "That pink hair and pretty face—I saw you on TV! You're All Might's son and that famous Pro Hero! What are you doing here?!"
"Of course I'm here. I'm a guy too. I've got needs."
"Shut up! All my classmates are obsessed with you!"
"Who cares? I don't even know them!"
"Damn it! Of all people, you had to be here. The guy I hate most!"
"Like I care."
They glared at each other.
Suddenly, the store manager appeared."Hey! Aren't you two underage?! Get out or I'll call your parents!"
"Hie!"
The two quickly bolted from the store.
Later, Ichika wandered again, sighing.
"Such misfortune…"
As he reached a supermarket, he paused."Ah! I forgot to buy groceries! I've got nothing for dinner."
Inside the store:"Haha! I bought so much! What a bargain day!"
Carrying several bags, he hailed a taxi. But just as he was loading his groceries, someone shoved him hard from behind.
"Outta my way, brat!" a man growled, slamming Ichika's face into a bag of eggs—crushing them all.
The driver called out, "You okay, kid? Looked like a snatcher. He was running from some Pro Heroes."
"I see... Can you wait for me here? This won't take long."
Ichika removed his hood.
"Y-You're...!"
The driver's jaw dropped as Ichika smiled—then vanished.
Meanwhile, the snatcher laughed to himself, "Kiss my ass, Pro Heroes!"
Suddenly, Ichika appeared in front of him—running backwards while keeping pace with him, his expression twisted in a terrifying grin.
"Captain Falcon!?"
"Gyaaah!"
Ichika didn't speak. He simply grabbed the man, lifted him, and slammed him into the pavement. Then, climbing on top of him, he began pummeling him.
The Pro Heroes arrived. Death Arms ran over and pulled Ichika off the now unrecognizable snatcher.
"Stop it, Falcon! You'll kill him!"
"I wasn't done yet!"
Crowds gathered, filming and cheering.
Eventually, the thief was taken into custody, and the original victim thanked Ichika repeatedly. Reporters interviewed him, asking about his hero work, his famous father, and his rise as Captain Falcon. Girls swarmed him, squealing over his looks.
Several hours later, Ichika returned to the Might Dormitory, visibly tired, carrying groceries.
"Welcome back, Father," Roboco greeted, opening the gate.
Ichika sighed, walking in.
"Such misfortune…"
"Uhm…"
A soft voice called from behind him. He turned.
A pale-skinned young woman stood there. She had chin-length gray hair covering one eye, dark bags under her blue eyes, and a small, anxious mouth.
"May I ask… is this the dormitory I'm looking for?"
"What's the name?" Ichika asked.
"I… I don't know. It's a newly opened dormitory for girls. A shady guy recommended it and only gave me the address. I've been lost, and this place looks… too luxurious. It even has an All Might statue."
She looked like she was on the verge of tears.
Suddenly, another girl appeared. She had long orange hair tied in a ponytail, teal eyes, and carried a big bag.
"Uhm. Hello. I wanted to ask something too…"
Behind her stood a calm, athletic-looking girl with cerulean eyes and short bobbed hair.
Ichika could already tell they were all here for the same reason.
Finally, a petite girl with lazy eyes and short dark purple hair showed up.
"Jeez! Is this the right place? I can't find the dormitory!"
The four girls looked at each other, realizing they shared the same destination.
Roboco stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"Yanagi Reiko, Itsuka Kendo, Kodai Yui, and Kyouka Jiro. I've been waiting for your arrival. Welcome to Might Dormitory!"
"Eh?!!" the four gasped.
