The scene opens up in the Zero Radio station with the book cover present in a huge screen while Kuuga is seen sitting on a chair.
CrescentRWBY: (unseen) "Now, action!"
Kuuga: (yawns) "Hello, mist readers. I'm alive, as you can see, I just got Yang Xiao Longed in Chapter 51."
Kuuga stares at you with a deadpanned look.
Kuuga: "I'm sorry. That was a RWBY Volume 3 reference. Not everyone will get it. Anyways, I was just given the task to remind everyone that when S5 of this book starts, releasing of chapters may slow down because the Author thinks everyone should catch up with the book since he updates constantly. He thinks he needs to chill and slow down."
Kuuga raises his left arm, showcasing the prosthetics.
Kuuga: "Jiro had been a great help in teaching me how to use my prosthetics normally. CrescentRWBY said the ship is around the corner. You guys should think of a ship name for the two of us. Please don't mess with it."
Sayo suddenly pops up from the screen.
Sayo: "Please enjoy the chapter! Plus Ultra...!"
-----
Jiro stands up and offers her hand to him while smiling.
Jiro: "Let's conquer this obstacle of yours together. Now, take my hand using your new one."
Kuuga stares at her for a while before he raises his left prosthetic hand, taking the earphone girl's hand.
Kuuga: "Thank you. Really…"
-----
A few more days have passed since October started. The scene opens up to Kuuga inside the kitchen once again, preparing food with both of his hands and is getting used to using his prosthetics thanks to the guidance of a certain earphone girl. He grabs a cup but accidentally slips from his grasp but a hand manages to catch it.
Jiro: "Still getting used to it?"
Kuuga looks up to see Jiro holding the cup with a smile on her face.
Kuuga: "I'm… I'm getting there."
Kuuga looks away and continues plating everyone's food but Jiro suddenly joins in and helps him.
Kuuga: "What are you…?"
Jiro: "Don't worry. My hands are clean. It's been a while since we all saw you in this place, you know."
Kuuga: "Yeah…"
They continued preparing when suddenly, Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, and Mineta entered the common area.
Kirishima: "Oh, Kiriu! You're here! And Jiro too!"
Sero: "The law of the kitchen is back!"
Mineta approaches the kitchen counter, a creepy aura surrounding him.
Mineta: "Hey… Kiriu, can I ask you something?"
Kuuga: "What?"
Mineta: "Does your arm have a vibrating function?"
Kuuga and Jiro gave deadpanned looks.
Kuuga: "No. But it can do this."
Kuuga raises his prosthetic arm and then slowly puts his fingers down, leaving only his middle finger up.
Kuuga: 🖕"Does this answer your question?"
Jiro bursts out laughing while the other boys begin snickering while Mineta sweat drops.
Mineta: "Um…"
Kuuga: "Now scram."
Mineta yelps as he runs off while Kirishima, Kaminari, and Sero laugh.
Kirishima: "Hey, at least you're back to your usual self a bit, Kiriu!"
Kuuga glares at him.
Kuuga: "Shut up."
Kirishima: "There's the Kiriu I know!"
Kuuga shakes head in annoyance as he continues fixing up everyone's meals. After a while, the others are seen entering the common area, surprised to see Kuuga and Jiro in the kitchen. Sayo is seen running towards them excitedly.
Sayo: "Good… MORNING…!"
Kuuga stares at her with a "really?" Look.
Jiro: "Hi, Sayo."
Sayo: "Kiriu! How's the arm?"
Kuuga: "It sucks."
Sayo: "Hehe… Okay… then! I'll be going now. Hello, Kaminari!"
Iida is seen running towards him.
Iida: "Kiriu! Are you sure you should be doing all these activities in your condition at the moment?! I can provide assistance-!"
Kuuga: "I'm doing this to see if I can still do some things I usually do. Besides, Jiro here is assisting me in getting used to it. Thank you for your concern."
Jiro: "Don't worry, he'll be fine."
Jiro grins and slaps Kuuga's back.
Iida: "I see. My apologies for intervening!"
Annya is seen walking beside a sleepy Todoroki towards the common area. She notices Kuuga doing his usual morning routine now with Jiro.
Annya: "Those two make a good couple, don't you think, Shoto?"
Todoroki: "Okay."
Annya suddenly places Todoroki in a headlock.
Annya: "Wake up, sleepy head!"
Todoroki: "O-Okay."
-----
The scene changes to Class 1-A's classroom with Aizawa inside his iconic yellow sleeping bag.
Aizawa: "Um… We're going to have a school festival."
Almost everyone begins to cheer.
Everyone: "Schooent!"
Mineta: "School festival!"
Sero: "It's a normal school event!"
Hagakure: "Let's decide what we're gonna do!"
Kirishima: "Sensei, is this really okay? To be so carefree in these times?"
Kaminari: "Kirishima… you've changed."
Kirishima: "But it's true-villains are flourishing right now!"
Aizawa: "You're right. That's a very reasonable opinion. However, U.A. isn't just about the hero course. If the sports festival is the big moment for the hero course, the school festival is for the others- the support course, general studies, and business course students- to shine. It doesn't get as much attention as the sports festival, but for them, it's an event they look forward to. And there are those who are feeling stressed by the current conditions, which, starting with the dorm system, came about because of the hero course."
Kirishima: "Thinking about it that way, there's no excuse for not holding it."
Aizawa: "Yeah. That's why we can't just say we won't have it. Unlike past years, this year, other than some of the people involved, the festival will be just for the school. Even if we aren't the focus, each class still needs to participate with something. You need to decide that today…"
Aizawa slowly passes out and is heard snoring.
Everyone: (mentally) "He's asleep!"
Iida suddenly stood in front of the class along with Yaoyorozu.
Iida: "I, Tenya Iida, Class 1-A representative, will take things from here! I'll do my best to help things go smoothly! First, put out some options. If you have a suggestion, raise your hand!"
Everyone: "Me, me, me, me!"
Iida: "Their attitudes changed so fast! I will definitely consolidate everyone's ideas! Okay, Kaminari!"
Kaminari: "Let's do a maid café! This is what I imagine! This is what I imagine, with more details! If I add my own desires, it's like this! So, let's do a maid café!"
Iida: "Maids… So we'd be serving others! That's not bad!"
Mineta: "That's too tame, Kaminari!"
Iida: "Mineta!"
Mineta: "A boo-"
Tsuyu suddenly puts Mineta inside a sack and hangs him.
Annya: "Whoa…"
Tsuyu: "Do you have a weight?"
Sato: (nervously) "Yeah…"
Kuuga suddenly approached the hanging Mineta.
Kuuga: "I don't have a weight, but…"
Kuuga suddenly detaches his prosthetic arm and swings it at Mineta's body like a torture tool continuously.
Kuuga: (angrily) "But I have an arm to detach and use for discipline…!"
Kirishima: "Such violence…!"
Jiro: "Kiriu…!"
Kuuga stops his attacks and puts his prosthetic back on his arm and went back to his seay
Kuuga: "Sorry."
Uraraka: "A mochi shop!"
Iida: "I see, something Japanese!"
Kirishima: "An arm-wrestling tournament!"
Iida: "That's intense!"
Hagakure: "A fun house!"
Iida: "I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it's interesting!"
Sato: "A crepe shop!"
Iida: "It's great for eating on the go!"
Kuuga: "A small on-the-go restaurant!"
Iida: "Very on-the-go!"
Ashido: "A dance!"
Iida: "Sounds dazzling!"
Izuku: "A hero quiz!"
Iida: "That's so like you, Midoriya!"
Tsuyu: "Let's sing "Frog Song," in a round."
Iida: "How charming!"
Koda: "A petting zoo."
Iida: "A petting zoo!"
Todoroki: "Hand-made Soba."
Iida: "It's your favourite!"
Bakugo: "A death match."
Iida: "An unexpected fight to the death!"
Tokoyami: "A feast of the students of darkness."
Iida: "Oh-ho!"
Aoyama: "My twinkling show!"
Iida: "Huh?!"
Annya: "A marriage booth?"
Iida: "Romantic!"
Sayo: "A ghost house!"
Iida: "Spooky!"
Jiro: "A skit or something?"
Iida: "I see! Now, any others?"
Sero: "An Asian café!"
Ojiro: "A dance performance!"
Shoji: "A takoyaki shop!"
The scene changes with everyone's suggestion written on the blackboard.
Iida: "I think we've got something from everyone now?"
Yaoyorozu: "I'll eliminate the ones that are inappropriate, impossible, or confusing."
Yaoyorozu proceeds to remove some suggestions, surprising some of them. Aoyama gasps.
Tokoyami: "Merciless!"
Annya: "Don't you guys want to see love?!"
Sayo: "No spooky?!"
Bakugo: "Don't ask us in the first place, then!"
Hagakure: "The local history presentation seems kinda boring."
Shoji: "That's true."
Ojiro: "It's fine, but the others seem more fun."
Iida: "I cannot go against the consensus!"
Kaminari: "We do study sessions all the time."
Yaoyorozu: "I thought maybe it would be of help…"
Sero: "Can't we combine all the food suggestions into one?"
Kirishima: "Don't you think crepes and soba would clash?"
Jiro: "You can't have crepes at an Oriental place."
Kuuga: "Even if we combine all of the food suggestions, all of you are approaching someone who can cook! That's too many categories and it clashes a lot!"
Everyone continues to talk over each other.
Iida: "Quiet down!"
Annya: "We should have others show their affection to one another in a marriage booth!"
Hagakure: "We should do a fun house!"
Kaminari: "What does that mean?"
Iida: "Quiet! Quiet!"
Yaoyorozu: "We haven't been able to come to a consensus…"
Iida: "Quiet down!"
Suddenly, the school bell rang as Aizawa was now up and leaving the classroom.
Aizawa: "That was a very illogical meeting. Decide what you'll do by tomorrow morning. If you don't… I'll make it a public lecture."
Everyone: (mentally) "Public lecture!"
Kaminari: "That's just studying!"
Sero: "He's joking, right?"
Kuuga: "I don't think so."
Iida: "Everyone, let's decide what we'll do by tonight!"
Everyone: "Yeah!"
-----
The scene opens up in the supplementary classroom.
Tsuyu: "Eri wants to see Midoriya and Kiriu?"
Aizawa: "Yeah. Strictly speaking, she's concerned about Midoriya, Kiriu, and Togata. Apparently, it's her first request since being admitted to the hospital."
Kuuga: "I see… we'll go then."
-----
The scene changes to the hospital in the morning with Mirio, Izuku, and Kuuga opening the door to Eri's hospital room.
Mirio, Izuku: "Eri!"
Izuku: "Sorry I couldn't come see you sooner."
Mirio raises a fruit basket.
Mirio: "Here's a fruit basket! Eat some if you'd like!"
Kuuga raises a steaming box while looking away.
Kuuga: "I… brought some… hot curry…"
Mirio: "Is there a fruit you like? Can I try guessing? It's peaches, right? 'Cause you're like a peach!"
Kuuga: (mentally) "A cheap line!"
Eri is seen holding up the fruit basket.
Eri: "Apples…"
Mirio: "That's what I thought! Then, let's peel it! Since an apple!"
The scene changes with Izuku, Mirio, and Kuuga sitting beside each other in front of Eri while the peeled apples and curry lie on a nearby table.
Eri: "This whole time, even when I had a fever, I was thinking… about when you rescued me. But I didn't know your name. I only knew Lemilion and Zero. I wanted to know your name."
Izuku: "I'm Izuku Midoriya. My hero name is Deku! Um, maybe since Deku is shorter, it's easier to remember… Deku. I'm Deku!"
Eri: "Hero name?"
Izuku: "It's like a nickname."
Eri: "Deku."
Izuku: "That's right!"
Eri: "Lemilion. Zero. Deku. And… that man wearing glasses… All of you… were injured badly because of me. Because of me, you all suffered… I'm sorry… It… it was my fault that you lost your arm Zero… It was my fault you lost your power, Lemilion…"
Eri begins to tear up but her tears suddenly turn into black mist as Mirio pats her head.
Mirio: "Eri. No one thought they were suffering. This is what we all think: I'm glad Eri is okay! There's no point in apologizing to someone who doesn't exist. Don't worry about it. Everyone fought because they wanted to see your smile!"
Kuuga: "You're not at fault for what happened. We knew the conditions and risks."
Kuuga points at his cheek using his prosthetic arm while keeping a blank face.
Kuuga: "We just wanted to see your muscles here rise up."
Mirio sat down as Eri attempted to smile, pulling on her cheeks as she did. She suddenly stops and starts to tear up again.
Eri: "I'm sorry… How do you smile again…?"
Kuuga's eyes widened a bit.
Kuuga: (mentally) "Just like me… I don't know either… But, I'm long gone… she still has hope…"
Izuku: "Mr. Aizawa!"
Izuku stood up and approached Aizawa.
Izuku: "Could Eri leave the hospital for just one day?"
Aizawa: "It's not impossible, but anyway, she's going to be-"
Izuku: "Then, can Eri come, too?"
Aizawa: "I see…"
Izuku: "The festival. Can Eri come, too?"
Eri: "School festival?"
Mirio: "Eri, this is a great idea! A school festival is a festival that takes place at our school! The people at school plan things for everyone at school to have fun, and they sell food- Oh, apples! There might be candy apples!"
Eri: "Candy apples…?"
Kuuga: "It's apples covered in candy that makes them even sweeter."
Eri begins to drool.
Eri: "Even sweeter…"
Kuuga: (mentally) "So cute…!"
Aizawa: "All right. I'll talk it over with the principal."
Izuku: "In that case… Eri, what do you think?"
Eri: "I… thought… about the people who saved me… when I was saved… I thought I wanted to know more about everyone."
Mirio: "I'll tell you more than you want to know! Let's work on the principal to get him to say yes!"
Izuku: "Okay!"
Kuuga: "Sure."
Mirio: "I'm on a break from school right now, so I can stay with you the whole time on our date!"
Eri: "Date?"
Mirio: "An outing taken by a man and a woman who are intimate!"
Eri: "An outing taken by a man and a woman…"
Izuku: "Togata, what are you saying…?"
Kuuga: "Don't teach the precious child such things yet…! You're gonna sound like a predator!"
End
I'm experimenting on putting more visuals on my chapters like the picture present in this chapter. Let me know what you think. Should I put more of those or just a text? See you on the next chapter!
Before that, I just want to put this here, my sister sent this to me, saying it's Kuuga and Eri.
