A local gang of thugs in Kyoto...

Although Uraraka Shige doesn't have a 'Quirk' like Momotani Hanawa, which allows her to control other people's actions without harming them.

Or rather, he hasn't yet developed his 'Quirk' to that extent.

But once he used his hand to pull the older kid's hand off his clothes, he was able to use his 'Quirk' to escape from the two kids' entanglement.

In fact, that's exactly what he did.

After letting the brat's hand leave his clothes, Uraraka Shige no longer worried that his sudden use of his 'Quirk' to leave might accidentally hurt the two brats who didn't seem to be having a very good time.

Therefore, Uraraka Shige decisively activated his 'Quirk' and fled from the alley as fast as he could, trying to get as far away from the two brats as possible.

After he suddenly left, the two kids didn't chase after Uraraka Shige. Instead, they stayed where they were, watching the direction Uraraka Shige had gone, and remained silent.

A moment later, the little girl who looked like the older sister suddenly reached out and hugged her younger brother, patting him on the back to comfort him.

The younger brother, comforted by his sister, couldn't hold back his tears, which gushed from his eyes like a geyser. Although he remained silent, it was easy to see that he was truly grieving, aggrieved, and heartbroken because of Uraraka Shige's departure.

Even the younger child's crying caused the older child, who was being kidnapped, to shed tears as well, unable to hold back her own feelings of grievance.

The two embraced and wept silently.

Then, at that very moment, from the other end of the alley between two adjacent buildings, or rather, the path, a short boy who looked at least eight parts similar to Uraraka Shige and whose voice was also inexplicably hoarse suddenly appeared there.

Looking at the two little devils hugging each other, he sighed with great distress.

He then addressed the two children, who were embracing each other and weeping silently:

"Xiaocao, Jiro. Didn't I tell you to wait for me here? What are you doing here? I've been looking for you for ages!"

The brat called "Xiaocao" by this newcomer and his younger brother called "Jiro" turned around simultaneously after hearing his words and immediately saw the guy whose appearance and voice were very similar to Uraraka Shige.

Immediately afterwards, Jiro, the youngest of the three, could no longer hold back his voice and his silent sobs suddenly turned into loud wailing. His older sister, who was older than her brother but younger than this Uraraka Shige, also lost control of her emotions and started yelling at the guy her parents named Taro.

Saying things like, "Didn't you say you didn't want us anymore! Go away!" left Taro, who looked Uraraka Shige, looking completely bewildered. He must have been utterly baffled by his current situation.

However, the matter concerning these three kids is currently no longer related to Uraraka Shige.

At this moment, Uraraka Shige was walking on the streets of Kyoto, a city with a much larger flow of people than the city where her home in this life was located.

The streets are lined with rows of buildings, with far fewer residential buildings than commercial buildings... but perhaps that's because this isn't a residential area?

Uraraka Shige walked, he suddenly stopped, looked around at himself, and took a deep breath.

"Ugh... This place is so crowded... It's totally not suitable for me."

Uraraka Shige particularly disliked the crowds of people coming and going, busy with their work. It always reminded him of the days in his previous life when he was very hardworking and had to endure being pointed at and judged by others.

Especially during that period, which lasted for quite a long time.

Even compared to his experience of living two lives, including this one.

"Never mind..."

Uraraka Shige shook his head, trying not to recall those days from his previous life that he didn't cherish. He turned and walked towards a narrow passageway formed by two adjacent office buildings.

To be honest, Uraraka Shige didn't have a specific target location at that time.

All he knew was that 'AFO' had recently appeared in Kyoto, but he had absolutely no idea which district of Tokyo it was in.

Fortunately, he knew how to get specific information—by finding out from the local thugs in Kyoto.

Generally speaking, those thugs are better informed than he is, and they are also easier for him to track down. Even if he doesn't know how to find these thugs, Uraraka Shige will rely on his own methods...

Wandering through these alleyways will always yield some discoveries.

After all, in his mind, many thugs liked to hang out and linger in places like this.

This is one of the reasons why he left the crowd and took this side path instead.

In fact, this behavior did bring him quick results.

Uraraka Shige followed the path, making several turns until she finally arrived at a dead end with two bends. The space here seemed relatively spacious. Near the end of the dead end, against the wall of a tall building, was a small, inconspicuous, dark door. There were several boys, who looked to be around the second year of junior high school, resting in different positions.

Upon seeing Uraraka Shige, they were taken aback, and their conversation, which had been filled with laughter and chatter, abruptly stopped due to Uraraka Shige's sudden appearance.

"Hey! You brat over there! This isn't a place for you! You'd better get out of here!"

They seemed to think that Uraraka Shige might just be a child who had gone astray, and only the thinnest and weakest-looking one stood up and gave Uraraka Shige this reminder.

After this guy gave Uraraka Shige a reminder, or rather a warning, one of the guys leaning against the wall 'kindly' reminded his companion.

Hey! Remember to ask for directions!

However, Uraraka Shige completely ignored what the two men said. After carefully observing them for a moment, he suddenly asked:

Hello, may I ask you for directions?
