Throne Of Time
Chapter 9 - 9 - You are Not Alone
Once All Might chased the villains, Kurumi had the idea of ignoring the hero and leaving, but then she rejected the idea.
Kurumi wants to understand better what person the man is, and therefore she decided to wait, in fact, not shortly after All Might returned, always with his big smile printed on his face.
All Might noticed Kurumi still there, and he was happy, he knows that Kurumi is not a person to respect the rules.
All Might understood it from their first meeting. Even if he seems a simpleton, All Might manages to comprehend with what type of person he has to deal with.
Approaching Kurumi, All Might put his hand forward and raised his thumb and, with a smile, said, "All solved."
Kurumi watched him approaching, bent her head, and said jokingly, "Where are the bad guys? You have not let them escape, have you?"
Hearing Kurumi, All Might replied "No, not at all, the police came and took them away." then he looked at Kurumi in the eyes with a stern expression and continued "But I would like to ask you some questions, you don't mind, do you?"
Kurumi knew that this question would come, and it is also one of the reasons why she wanted to leave without waiting for the hero's return.
So looking at the man, Kurumi said, "Not at all, tell me," hearing that Kurumi accepted, All Might let out a sigh of relief and then started with the first and most important question "How did you recognize me?"
Kurumi did not expect this question, in her head, she had prepared answers to many questions that could have been asked by the hero, but surely this is not one of them.
Only that Kurumi has no idea of the importance of the question asked by All Might.
Then with a playful tone, she replied, "Why shouldn't I have recognized you? The tone of voice can be different, but it is still similar, moreover ..." looking towards the two tufts above the hero's head "Those highlights you. "
After some seconds, she added, "If you hadn't approached me, I wouldn't have recognized you in the least, even if I had seen you on the streets, walking."
All Might did not expect this answer. So with a face as if the world had fallen on him, he replied, "... I understand" to only recover shortly after "Anyway, let's get out of here."
Thus, Kurumi and All Might, who in the meantime collected all the criminals lying on the ground, left the warehouse. Outside Kurumi saw police cars with the lights on and dozens of police officers carrying the delinquents stationed outside the warehouse or those who were probably in another place when Kurumi entered.
All Might, bending his knees, laid the pile of people he carried on his shoulders.
Seeing All Might come out, a man in a beige coat, white gloves, and a fedora-style hat headed towards him. All Might seeing him coming, with a laugh and always with his smile on him, turning to the man, said, "Naomasa, what a surprise."
The man, named Naomasa, replied, "Even for me, as soon as I heard that you were able to put this hiding place out of the game, I rushed along with my colleagues."
As soon as he finished, Naomasa noticed Kurumi, who, on her way out of the warehouse, returned to her classic dress and, so, acting as a gentleman and taking off his hat, he said, "It's a pŀėȧsurė to meet you."
Seeing the gesture of the man, Kurumi greeted him too by slightly bending her legs and slightly raising the lower sides of her dress, "It's a pŀėȧsurė for me too."
All Might who hadn't looked at Kurumi until then noticed the change of clothes.
'When ...' he thought, he saw Kurumi's ability to enter the shadows, and until then, he thought that was her ability. Still, if she managed to change clothes without him finding out or better, without causing the slightest noise, as they were walking all this time, he would have noticed if she stopped for a while, probably he still don't understand the girl's Quirk.
But immediately after, All Might, seems to have noticed that he still doesn't know the name of the girl he "saved," so with a cough to hide his embarrassment, he asked, "Not to be rude, but could you tell me your name?"
Hearing All Might, Kurumi smilingly replied, "How rude I am, my name is Kurumi Tokisaki." Kurumi wanted to say "a spirit" too, but she refrained herself. A bit like a tradition.
All Might then turned to Kurumi and asked her seriously, "Can I know why you were in this place?".
The question asked by All Might has blocked Kurumi a bit in answering.
She certainly cannot answer, "I came from another world, and I needed an identity card. For this reason, I slipped inside", so without losing her posture, she replied, "... Revenge."
All Might and Naomasa also noticed that something in Kurumi's answer was wrong. Still, they could not begin to question her so openly and least of all when she did nothing wrong, apart from illegal possession of arms if All Might remembered correctly.
But even if the answer seemed false, the fact that she owned weapons and had infiltrated inside, made him think that perhaps there was a motivation.
So in a cautious tone, he asked Kurumi, "... Do you have any family members we can contact?"
Kurumi, hearing the question, was stunned. When All Might asked her the question, she immediately managed to connect the thread of the speech and where it was going, then with a sad tone, lowering her head, she replied, "... nobody"
Seeing Kurumi's reaction, All Might thought 'as I imagined', then showed his smile towards Kurumi, who, in the meantime, had raised her head, keeping a wounded expression, said, "In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength, and you, Kurumi Tokisaki, even if you decided to follow the path of revenge, you didn't abandon yourself."
After she got betrayed, she did not let herself despair, she gritted her teeth, and in her way, she continued to live, becoming what she is today.
All Might then continued, "Remember," placing a hand on Kurumi's shoulder, "You are not alone, there are certainly people who are grateful to you because in your lifetime you have helped them, and so I repeat YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Face everything with a smile, a bit like I do."
Hearing All Might, Kurumi looked at the hero and left a small smile, small but real and All Might, being in front of Kurumi noticed it and always with his warm smile, he laughed. "See? You don't find that life is more colorful now?"
Kurumi's answer was simple "... maybe"
Kurumi does not know who the person in front of her is, she only knows that he is a hero, but it is strange, the effect he causes is weird, it is like a sun that warms the face, makes you smile and let you face life better, it's the first time she felt like this.
