In MHA With Star Platinum - Chapter 169

“What in the…”

Julia entered the bathroom and yelled as she saw the water on the wall. She looked around, soap on the ground, a window is a little broken, and all.

Lee, who didn’t sleep and was changing his clothes, rubbed his cheek. “My quirk got out of control.”

“Whatever.” she sighed. “It doesn’t matter, later it would be fixed.”

“Wow.” Said Lee, as his head appeared from the door, staring at her reaction. “You’re making it easier than I expected.” He then felt a bit guilty about what he had done. Turning his eyes, a murmur escaped his mouth. “Sorry.”

“Well. It’s not like I’m the one to stay here. It’s your problem to deal with this?”

She turned and her lips twitched, before she broke into a chuckled, as Lee was wearing his hero costume. It’s the first time she sees him in his Stripper like clothes; so cute.

“What,” Lee asked, as he saw her crossing her arms, and checking his muscles.

“You grew up too fast, I’ll give you that,” she teased while looking at his exposed abs. “And your costume shows it all your good curves. So, this how managed to seduce all your girls.”

Lee felt teased from her stare. He, however, shrugged his shoulder as he rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

“And you are going to good –”

“Not today.” Lee cut her. “Anyway, you said you’re not the one to stay here.” Lee wondered if that means she is leaving, to work again. But if that case, shouldn’t she be worried if the bath is ruined. Or is she saying that to teach him a lesson?

“Mm…” Julia nodded. “Talking about this in the morning isn’t the best course of action. When you finish your work, we’ll talk later.”

Seeing the serious glance on her face, Lee asked. “Is it that serious?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t want my grandma to come,” Lee said.

“Not that.” Julia rolled her eyes.

“Fine then.”

Lee went on his way to leave the apartment.

Looking at his back, she remembered something and yelled. “Take out the garbage.”

“Already done.”

-x-X-x-

Lee spent the rest of the day touring this city, with Yu and the other girls.

The internship was best spent here.

After he had participated in a gang war against Overhaul, Ye Qi found it better to relax here a bit, before going to the big job.

‘And then, there is the boring school after this.’ Ye Qi thought in himself. ‘It’s not as boring though.’

While walking around, Ye Qi and his girls, were quite famous here. After the last battle, they got most of the screen, literally and figuratively. Yu just smiled. Lee, on the other hand, found that he has fans now, who wanted to take pictures with him. Most of them, as it seems, were girls who liked his costume and wanted to take pictures with him. Some of them were creepy guys though.

“Lee, do you have a Facebook page?” A little boy asked him on the street with eyes full of hope.

“I don’t,” Lee answered while frowning.

“Other social media.”

“Go to your mom.”

Lee pushed the kid away.

Geez, Lee now understands why celebrities don’t have or don’t share, their private social media accounts.

Has the people around get to it, there would be trolls to ban him.

Anyway, patrolling in the day continued. Mt. Lady, after getting her quirk boosted again, because of that promise, had done pretty well in her patrol, and her rank as a hero seemed to be growing to the top ten.

Lee, on the other hand, relaxed while enjoying a cup of water, while letting her have the light.

Tonight, Yu made a declaration that she wants to have the name of her agency, yet she struggled to come up with one. She made quite good money, and she wanted to take advantage of Lee and the other girls before they go back to school. When the noon has arrived, they went back to her apartment, and they did what any couple… triple… just whatever works with four, did.

Very soon, she would start with her dreams.

Lee, on the other hand, would have between 5 to seven days before he would go back to school.

Very soon, Lee came back home, and his mood was on the better side. Julia came after him, and as she saw him cheered up, she decided to ask, before she would tell him about moving out.

“You look in a good mood. Something good happened?”

“It’s just a usual day.” Lee, who was on the couch and has yet to take off his hero suit, nodded.

“Do you like your job, then?”

“Not much.” Lee rolled his eyes. “I just like the ones who I work with. You know, Yu, Itsuka and Reiko. I feel good to stay around.”

“No wonder you don’t stay home.” She rolled her eyes. “Probably you don’t like to stay around an old woman like me.”

“Hey, first, you are middle-aged and still pretty. Second, I like staying around you.” Lee smirked at her. It’s just natural for women to compare themselves to others, just like that.

Seeing how happy he is acting, Julia didn’t know if it’s the right time to tell him that he wouldn’t spend his second year in Japan. By the spring, he would be transferred.

“Lee, I want to ask you.”

“Mm…” Lee tilted his head.

“Supposedly, and supposedly, let’s see that I want you to move outside the country, to come to the UK. Would you really come?”

Lee narrowed his eyebrows, looked to the side, and then put answered without much thought. “I will only if the girls come with me.” Then he jokingly added. “I’m not moving away from them. Like seriously, why I would leave them. Hands can’t replace them.”

Julia sighed. Right. Lee was one of the few who would have polygamy here.

“Brat.” She clicked her tongue at him, not taking that as insolence. She then sighed. “But you would be moving out anyway. As long as you get them out.”

“I don’t really know.” Lee looked. “I’m not ready to move out soon.”

“Not too soon. But in the next spring.” She placed her hands on her h.i.p.s. “As long as you get the others with you, it’s fine then.”

Lee, by now, could get it.

“Wait, you really…”

“Yes, I’ve issued your transfer

“What!” Lee felt shocked. “When did you.”

No wonder she didn’t care about the bath getting ruined.

“Come on. I can’t just get ten miles away from you without something major to happen.”

Julia patted his shoulder, before saying. “You have enough time. Try to tell others to move with you. Your second year would be spent there.”

Lee took few deep breaths. Come on. Reiko and Itsuka may be easy to take with him. Yu is going to open her agency here. As for Mirko, they didn’t even start dating, so he can be careless here. But probably, given her direct forward mindset, she would follow him easily.

But still. On the other hand, he can understand his mother’s feelings. Seriously, working away, while leaving him facing villains. Lee had been left to live in Japan to avoid bullying within his family outside.

Lee, after sighing, put his hand on the couch and stood up. “I won’t move. Unless you convince Yu to move outside, I’m staying.”

“There still time, until the spring.” Julia placed her hand on her hip, understanding him. At least, he didn’t refuse completely. “We’ll work that out.”

Narrowing his eyes, Lee asked. “You are taking this too easy?” even though he could see the wariness in her eyes, she was taking this too calmly.

Julia flicked her finger on his forehead, activating her quirk to make him feel slight pain. With sarcasm, she said. “You didn’t refuse it, right. You gave condition. Besides, you have your license. I just want you to move out. I’ll talk to Yu, when the time comes.”

“You should talk to her soon; She has a big heart.”

“Literally. I know.” Julia nodded. “However, if anything happened. Like a major war or something like that; I would take you out. I’m starting to think that whenever we get away, the universe would throw things like this”

“You’re overthinking, what worse can happen.”

“I don’t know. A possible Apocalypse. National level danger?” She mocked.

“Hehehe.” Lee forced a weird laugh. Only Night Eye thought of this as the worst thing that can happen. “I have to get out. I’ll come soon.”

Lee didn’t care much if he stayed here. Besides, they are still in summer. The school year wouldn’t end until the night. There’s plenty of time to convince his girls to move out. Yu, probably would have enough money with her new agency. However, if it came to worse, he can always ask Yu to be his legal garden.

***

It was night.

Lee, who was sleeping on the bed, while hugging Yu, as he was in her apartment, opened his eyes. His phone vibrated, as someone was calling him. Lee had slept in Yu’s apartment. He had decided to stay here, so he can talk to them in the morning about moving out.

“Lee…” Yu murmured as she wrapped her now long arm around him, not letting his getaway, and pulled him to her embrace. “Stay close.” She was murmuring while sleeping. Itsuka and Reiko were hugging him as well.

“Ha…” Sighing, Lee decided that he won’t move. He picked up the phone.

“Who’s calling? Do you know what time is this?”

“Ahem.”

Lee heard a familiar cough. He frowned, as he looked at the darkness that surrounded his room.

“They don’t call you Night Eye for nothing, do they?”

“They don’t call me Morning Eye for sure.” Night Eye said with a hint of sarcasm on the other side of the phone. “Anyway, I didn’t call because I missed you.” His tone then changed to serious.

Lee thought for a bit and said. “You mean.”

“Yes. All For One, we had time to visit him.” Night Eye said. “I wanted to inform you, by morning, we would come to pick you up. However, we didn’t know your address. Or the place where you stay.
