The plot is speeding up~~~Loading...
After expressing that he understood, the man with the black-rimmed glasses remained silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke Uraraka Shige:
"Well done, but this is far from enough..."
He then gave Uraraka Shige new instructions.
"Try to get along well with that guy who looks similar to you, and try to learn as much as possible about him. You'll need this knowledge soon."
The information implied in her words gave Uraraka Shige new ideas.
However, the man with black-rimmed glasses didn't care about Uraraka Shige's thoughts. After saying that 'reminder,' he lowered his head and continued working. Uraraka Shige also left the office building to find a place to have lunch.
The lunch break ended quickly, and Uraraka Shige spent the afternoon doing light tasks such as serving tea and water. No one assigned him any extra work besides serving tea and water, and no one knew why.
After finishing work in the evening, Uraraka Shige left the office building again. Compared to when he first joined the office building, he was able to confirm many things and had received a lot of new information.
For example, based on what the man with the black-rimmed glasses said, he could guess that sooner or later he would probably get the task of replacing Kaito with the black-rimmed glasses...
After returning to the orphanage, Uraraka Shige chatted with Kaito and Kaito friends for a while with a normal expression, then ate dinner and went to bed early. The next day, she got up to continue writing. She was asked about the day's events by someone with black-rimmed glasses, then served tea and water. In the evening, she returned to the orphanage, had a conversation with a few people from the orphanage organization, ate dinner, and went to bed early.
Time flies, and more than a week has passed.
During this week, he didn't receive any further assignments from the man in black-rimmed glasses. Moreover, as he gained a deeper understanding of the power dynamics within the office building, he successfully found an opportunity to make contact with 'AFO's' subordinates.
"People from company headquarters will be coming to inspect tomorrow. You all need to work hard and not become a laughing stock for them."
Taking advantage of the break time when everyone had put down their work but hadn't yet left the large office, the man with black-rimmed glasses suddenly spoke to the group of people inside, informing them of something.
He then looked at Uraraka Shige gave him specific instructions:
"You still remember why you joined here, right? Don't leave after you finish work tomorrow; I'll introduce you to someone."
Uraraka Shige nodded in agreement. He understood the meaning behind the man in the black-rimmed glasses' words; the guy coming to inspect the place tomorrow was probably someone connected to 'AFO'.
He simply didn't know why that guy had come here, nor did he know what the man with the black-rimmed glasses meant by asking him to leave later the next day and introducing him to the guy from 'AFO's' side.
However, there was one thing he could still think of—this could very well be an opportunity, an opportunity for him to find out 'AFO's' whereabouts. Although, due to the special nature of 'AFO's' 'Quirk,' he had no idea whether 'AFO' possessed any 'Quirk' that allowed him to read minds, making him very wary of getting close to 'AFO.'
However, if the information about 'AFO' was only obtained through one of 'AFO's' subordinates, then even 'AFO' himself would likely be unable to ascertain his true purpose.
However, there are still many dangers involved in doing so.
For example, he doesn't know whether the guy coming tomorrow possesses a 'Quirk' similar to mind reading or brainwashing.
For example, he didn't know whether the guy who would come tomorrow was the kind of person who was extremely brutal and would kill someone at the slightest disagreement or even just by looking at them.
But in any case, the arrival of that guy tomorrow is an absolute opportunity for Uraraka Shige.
Uraraka Shige wanted to try to seize this opportunity.
After all, if you calculate it carefully, there isn't much time left before All Might and 'AFO' clash.
Just as Uraraka Shige decided to seize the opportunity tomorrow, the man with the black-rimmed glasses, seeing that all the other staff members had already left the large office, suddenly spoke to Uraraka Shige and gave him a new task.
And this new task, as expected, did not escape Uraraka Shige's initial prediction.
"There's one more thing..."
The man with the black-rimmed glasses first tried to take advantage of the situation unintentionally, using a catchphrase from a character of the father's generation in an adventure story.
However, Uraraka Shige was unaware of this, and thus, unintentionally, he was taken advantage of by this man with black-rimmed glasses.
Hmm... it seems neither party knew, and there wasn't a knowledgeable third party present, so this doesn't count as taking advantage???
In short, after attracting Uraraka Shige's attention with this sentence, the man with the black-rimmed glasses got straight to the point.
"When that guy comes tomorrow, I'll tell him why you joined us. And starting tomorrow, you'll need to find a way to replace that guy who's about your age and looks."
Seemingly worried that Uraraka Shige might have actually developed a good relationship with the guy who looked similar to Uraraka Shige within the past week, making it unlikely that one person alone would be enough to sway Uraraka Shige, the person with the black-rimmed glasses also offered a small bribe.
"Because you have more important things to do, from now on, you can leave when your lunch break ends. You no longer need to come to the office in the afternoon."
Uraraka Shige was overjoyed upon hearing this.
If what the man with the black-rimmed glasses said is true, it means he has an afternoon of free time.
Having an afternoon of free time means he can use that time to do something.
After offering bribes, the man with the black-rimmed glasses resorted to coercion.
"However, if you fail to complete the task I've assigned you, then you can forget about having that outstanding 'Quirk' you desire. We'll also show you what methods we use against useless people."
Upon hearing what the man in the black-rimmed glasses said, Uraraka Shige felt a pang of anxiety.
He's a selfish guy, so if he can really achieve his goal, he won't care about harming others.
However, what truly bothered him was that his real purpose wasn't to gain any 'Quirk' at all. The power in this office building was merely a means for him to understand the timing, location, and target of All Might's battle with 'AFO'.
After all, this office building itself is a force under 'AFO's' command, so naturally it won't help him fight against 'AFO'. But in this respect, the orphanage organization is more likely to help him rewrite All Might's severely injured ending in the original work.
Of course, the orphanage organization was far from enough, so he needed to find other forces.
And for this, he will inevitably have to pay a price.
As for what exactly this price is...
If he remembered correctly, the office building itself had quite a few enemies, so he figured the other forces under 'AFO' probably had the same problem.
Therefore, using the criminal gangs within this office building, as well as other forces under 'AFO', as the price... seems most appropriate.
As for how to proceed during this period...
There's a situation where you beat the young one, and the old one comes... or perhaps you're stirring up trouble?
As for the stick used for cutting grass...
"Hmm... if I remember correctly, that Zōti Doctor... seems to be someone being hunted down by the forces in the office building, right? And he just happens to be a real 'enemy'... could there be some room for maneuver in this situation?"
True strength often comes from overcoming all Shackles and difficulties through one's own power.
But at this point, Uraraka Shige was ultimately too weak.
Therefore, it's necessary to use your brain when needed...
That's just common sense...
Right?
