'Villain group?!'... No, just a gang of thugs...

After much persuasion, Uraraka Shige finally calmed Ochaco down and explained several math problems that were troubling her in great detail Ochaco quietly waiting for Ochaco to finish her homework.

"Shall we go, Ochaco?"

Uraraka Shige stood up from her chair, tilted her head slightly, and calmly watched Ochaco tidy up the homework on the table. Only after Ochaco stood up did she ask in a gentle tone.

It was as if he was actually the older one...

"Okay, let's go for a walk together, Shige."

Ochaco had recovered from her earlier inexplicable anger, and naturally, she wouldn't speak coldly to her younger brother who was treating her so kindly. Instead, she happily nodded in agreement.

After agreeing, Ochaco thought of another question and asked it directly.

"So, Shige, where do you plan to go for a walk?"

Ochaco actually had a few guesses in her mind about where to go for a walk, such as that small park? Or some recreational facilities in the neighborhood? Or maybe she wanted to visit her parents' workplace?

It has to be said that Ochaco is truly Uraraka Shige sister, especially at certain times, she seems to have a rather peculiar understanding of Uraraka Shige's plans.

"I want to go and see where Father and Mother work, to see why they've become so busy lately."

Uraraka Shige had no intention of deliberately hiding his older sister from him in this life. After all, it wasn't anything shameful. He just wanted to keep it a secret from his father and mother.

Even this idea stemmed from his own feeling that once his father and mother found out about his plans, they would scold him for not doing his job properly and give him endless reprimands, which would cause a very unpleasant change in his mood.

As for Ochaco, she naturally supported and agreed with her younger brother's thoughts and plans, after all, she was a very kind person who cared deeply about her family.

Therefore, after Uraraka Shige explained his plans, Ochaco agreed with his idea, and the two then left the house together.

What they didn't know was that not long after they left their house, a thin, small-looking guy emerged from a small alley next to their house that led to a nearby street. He was only slightly taller than Uraraka Shige, about the same height as Ochaco, and appeared to be a dwarf.

The man, who appeared to be a dwarf, poked around at the door of Uraraka Shige's house for a while, then quietly opened the door, slipped inside, and locked the door again.

However, we'll leave this suspected dwarf aside for now.

Let's take a look at the current situation facing Uraraka Shige and Ochaco.

···

Uraraka Shige and Ochaco's journey through the streets until they arrived at their family's construction company was quite uneventful. Although they exchanged words and made casual comments about the scenery along the way, none of that needs much elaboration. However, what Uraraka Shige and Ochaco saw when they arrived near their family's construction company was quite unbelievable and left them completely bewildered.

At that moment, downstairs at their family's construction company, a group of guys with dyed hair, carrying sticks or something similar, and smoking cigarettes, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, were lounging by the wall or the roadside, constantly scanning the passersby with fierce eyes.

"Who... are these guys?"

Ochaco's pace slowed unconsciously, and her expression showed some hesitation. They had no idea why there was a group of people they had never seen before standing downstairs in the building where their construction company's office was located.

Uraraka Shige was somewhat surprised and hesitant by the scene. He didn't know why these guys, who looked like thugs, were staying in this place, or whether they were after his family's construction company. After all, his family's construction company was not as good as it was in the original story. Instead, they just rented a room in a building to serve as the company headquarters.

Therefore, Uraraka Shige is now unsure whether he should continue taking Ochaco to his family's construction company, whether he should follow his plan to see what his father and mother are busy with, and whether their family's financial situation has returned to what it was before, and whether it has anything to do with the group of thugs downstairs.

"Shige... or else..."

Ochaco suddenly tugged at Uraraka Shige's sleeve, seemingly a little scared of the group of thugs, and thus had the thought of going home to wait for her father and mother to return.

Uraraka glanced at Ochaco beside her Uraraka Shige, her hesitation deepening.

Indeed, Ochaco is so cute, and right now there's a group of thugs standing right there. If he takes Ochaco with him, who knows what they might do to Ochaco? He's all alone, and his body is still so young; he doesn't fully understand his 'Quirk' yet. If those thugs really do something, he might not be able to protect Ochaco on his own.

"Yes, Ochaco, let's go back."

With this in mind, Uraraka Shige changed his plans and turned around with Ochaco, intending to go back first. He planned to ask his father and mother directly after they returned home, without having to bring Ochaco along and risk their lives here.

However, they were a little slow, because downstairs in the building where their construction company office was located, a few thugs had already noticed the two rather cute-looking kids who, in their opinion, seemed to have been frightened by them.

After a brief conversation, the group of thugs exchanged something among themselves, and then one of them suddenly reached out and started pointing and gesturing at Uraraka Shige and Ochaco before speaking.

"Hey! You two over there! Come here! Come here for a second! I've got something fun here! Come on over!"
