TodoMomo: After the Rainfall

After the Rainfall: Horn Buddies - Next Generation (Episode 2)

Izuku: Oh, well we're having a party tonight! Do you want to stay with us to party tonight?

Kota: Party...? Is there going to be candy?!

Izuku: Oh, lots! And we can let you try some of Sato's desserts!

Mirio: Ehehehe — Looks like everything's going well.

Nejire: If that's the case, then Tamaki and I'll be leaving now! Bye, you guys — save some candy for us!

Nejire grabs Tamaki by the arm, and begins dragging him away. Kota enters the living room, being greeted and welcomed by the members of Class 1-A. Mina exuberantly skips towards Kota.

Mina: Hey, Kota! What's going on?

Kota: I'm okay, Ms. Ashido...

Mina: *Gasp* Midoriya, have you introduced Kota to Eri yet?

Izuku: Ah, no I haven't. That's a great idea, Ashido!

Kota: Mr. Midoriya, who's Eri?

Ochaco: Oh, we'll introduce you! Come on, Tsu!

Tsuyu: Right behind you, Ochaco.

Tsuyu and Ochaco begin walking towards Aizawa, who is feeding Eri on the kitchen counter. Aizawa is pointing a spoonful of food whilst playing with Eri.

Shota: Okay, Eri. Here comes the airplane.

Eri: Choo Choooo!

Shota: Heh heh... Eri, planes don't make "choo choo" noises...

Eri: I know "airplanes" don't, but "Eri-planes" do!

Shota: *Sigh* (How have I never realized how mundane my life was before having this little ball of sunshine?)

Tsuyu: Mr. Aizawa, can we have Eri for a second? We want to introduce her to a new friend!

Shota: Asui... Eri and I are eating breakfast right now.

Eri: Huh? But I wanna play with Froppy! Come on, please Mr. Eraser?

Shota: Uraraka, who is this "friend"?

Ochaco: Oh, it's just Kota. He's visiting, and we wanted to introduce Eri to someone her age so that she'll learn how to make friends!

Shota: Alright, we can go. Eri, what do we say when we finish eating?

Eri: Thank you for the meal!

Shota: That's a good girl. Come on, now.

Ochaco and Tsuyu bring Aizawa, who is carrying Eri, towards Kota. Aizawa puts Eri down, and Kota notices the little girl. Kota and Eri stare at each other in interest for a few moments.

Izuku: Psst — Say hi, Kota!

Kota: O-Oh, hello!

Eri: O-Oh... h-hiya...

Eri begins shyly staring downwards at her tiny feet. Seeing somebody of her age definitely caught her off-guard. Her not having any experience with conversations with people as young as her causes Eri to become shy and reluctant around Kota.

Shota: *Whisper* Eri, come on... Go say hi!

Aizawa nudges Eri towards Kota. Eri diffidently approaches Kota, still shyly fidgeting with her hands.

Kota: U-Um — My name is... Kota Izumi.

Eri: My name is... Eri Chisa-

Muttering her own family name, Eri chokes up in disgust — as her only so-called "father figure" brought her intense emotional and physical trauma. She begins thinking of somebody who was more of a father than Kai Chisaki ever was.
