Uraraka Shige: "It's not like I'm afraid of 'AFO' or anything..."
Uraraka Shige quickly turned and left, while new thoughts began to surface in her mind.
"Should I leave too? My family is being looked after by a 'hero' now, so I don't think those guys targeting my family will do anything too outrageous."
Although the appearance of a 'hero' merely to protect and monitor his family indicates some serious issues, he is powerless to do anything about it now, and the fact that a 'hero' has stepped forward at least guarantees the safety of his family.
Therefore, he might as well take advantage of the present moment to finish what he needs to do, repay All Might for saving his life as soon as possible, and find a strong enough backer for his family.
However, he still faces very pressing issues in achieving this goal.
He still hasn't found a way to find out All Might's schedule... Under these circumstances, how is he supposed to find out the location of All Might's battle with All For One...?
As Uraraka Shige, she felt as if her thoughts had entered a vicious cycle, as if she had gotten stuck in a rut. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't find a way out and could only struggle desperately, only to find that everything was in vain.
This uncomfortable and awkward feeling drove him crazy, and he became anxious again.
Just then, he overheard the conversation of two young women who were walking out of a gift shop next door.
"How could it have been sold? The uncle at this gift shop promised to save it for me! How could he just sell it to someone else?!"
One of the young women spoke in a somewhat hurried voice, her tone rising slightly, which made Uraraka Shige feel even more irritated.
"It's this uncle who broke his promise, so why are you in such a hurry? After all, the item has already been sold, and there's no use in being anxious; you can't buy it again anyway. You might as well think of another way."
Another young woman gently offered words of comfort.
However, the results do not seem to be ideal.
"But everything's sold out! I asked the uncle to save one for me, but he sold it all too. Where can I buy it now? What can I do?"
The young woman, who seemed to want to buy something that was sold out, appeared extremely agitated. Not only was her tone very anxious, but her words also revealed that she didn't really like thinking or using her brain to solve problems. This made Uraraka Shige, who was standing next to her, sneer inwardly. Thinking back to his previous life and this life, although he wasn't a particularly intelligent person, he wasn't the kind of person who was completely incapable of or unwilling to use his brain.
Fortunately, the other girl, who is suspected to be this young lady's best friend, is the complete opposite of this girl who doesn't like to think.
She comforted the other young woman with a very gentle expression and tone.
"But if we don't try to find a solution, the problem will never be solved. Besides, there are so many problems in the world, and many of them don't even have just one solution. If we think about it more, we'll always find new solutions, right?"
The gentle young woman said this while placing her index finger in front of her pouting lips, tapping them lightly as if she were thinking, before asking the irritable young woman a question.
Upon hearing the gentle young lady's words, Uraraka Shige was slightly taken aback, feeling as if something strange and vague... inspiration was stirring within him.
"Well then, let's think about this carefully... This gift shop is sold out... and other gift shops nearby don't have it... So... which gift shops did you go to? Did they not restock today? Maybe some further away have it? After all, if one place doesn't have it, we might as well try another place."
The gentle young lady's words didn't seem to have much of an effect, but at least they calmed the irritable young lady down a bit.
"I've checked all the gift shops on these three streets around here, but none of them are stocked today! The only shop that had stock was sold out!"
At this point, the grumpy young lady became grumpy again, causing Uraraka Shige, who had missed that fleeting inspiration, to secretly purse her lips and mutter to herself things like 'grumpy brother, grumpy sister'.
While Uraraka Shige was secretly grumbling to herself, the irritable young lady quieted down a bit and began to speak to the gentle young lady next to her in a slightly coquettish tone:
"As for places further away... I have absolutely no desire to go anywhere further away..."
The gentle young lady remained expressionless, seemingly having anticipated that her hot-tempered best friend would say such a thing. Almost immediately after the hot-tempered young lady spoke, she offered another suggestion.
"In that case... why don't you want to change the gift? After all, you're planning to give it to so-and-so as a birthday present, right? Birthday presents aren't limited to just one thing. If one goal is difficult to achieve, try another that's easier. If one method doesn't work, try a better one. After all, as the saying goes, there's often more than one way to solve a problem."
The grumpy young lady seemed hesitant about the suggestion. She didn't seem too keen on changing the gift, but she also seemed even more reluctant to go too far. However, what she was thinking was irrelevant to Uraraka Shige, since this grumpy young lady wasn't Ochaco.
Although Ochaco can be quite fierce at times...
But what's more important now is that Uraraka Shige that gentle young lady said, "If one goal is hard to achieve, change to another; if one method doesn't work, change to another," and repeated, "There's more than one way to solve a problem," he suddenly felt like he had caught a fleeting glimmer of inspiration.
So Uraraka Shige asked and answered himself in a low voice.
"If it's not good... then try another one... there's more than one solution... and there's more than one way to achieve the goal..."
"What is my purpose? To find out All Might's schedule... But why do I need to know All Might's schedule?"
"... I want to repay All Might for saving my life, and I want to rewrite the original story's ending where All Might is seriously injured in his battle with All For One... For this, I must find out the location of All Might and All For One's battle...?"
"Can't I let them choose where to fight? Even if I can't... can't I only find out their battle locations from All Might's schedule?"
"Why not start with information from AFO?"
The faint sound dissipated within a radius of less than half a meter around Uraraka Shige, and no one else heard it except for Uraraka Shige herself. (Narrator: Eyes and ears are two different organs~)...
