Big Sister in Danger?

The sun was shining brightly outside the warehouse, and the air was quite fresh.

After leaving the warehouse, Uraraka Shige had already walked through four streets and was now walking in the nameless little park where he had been exercising and developing his 'Quirk' for the past six months.

And whether it's a coincidence or not, the warehouse he left earlier, and his home, if we take the small park where he's been exercising for the past six months as the center point, can be almost perfectly divided into two equal parts, with each side separated by exactly four streets. In comparison, his family's construction company is located about six streets away.

"And the things in that warehouse..."

The warehouse was filled with crates, which contained various decorative materials such as glass tiles, sanitary ware such as toilets and sinks, and even pots and pans made of various materials. It seemed to be a rival to the construction company they owned.

"It doesn't look like something from those 'Quirk' thugs at all. Could it belong to that 'boss'?"

Uraraka Shige couldn't help but start thinking in this direction.

"If that's the case, given the rumors spread by our Genga Family's rivals, and considering they're business competitors, is that why they're deliberately targeting our family's construction company? But if it were just this one company, our family's construction company shouldn't be in this predicament..."

"So, are there other construction companies hiding behind this 'boss'? And to actually send those thugs to kidnap me and Ochaco... isn't that considered kidnapping? What kind of threats did Genga Family's rivals make to get them to go this far...?"

After thinking about it for a while, Uraraka Shige could only come to these obvious conclusions. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and let out a somewhat unwilling sigh.

"Sigh... it seems I really am not a smart guy..."

After sighing, he looked up at his surroundings. Not far from him was a park bench for people to rest on, and a little further away was a wooden bridge spanning an artificial river that was only as wide as a stream. The water in the artificial river was already slightly green, and it looked like moss had grown on the bottom of the pool. A few leaves were floating on the surface of the water.

It wasn't far from where he had been training, so Uraraka Shige reached out and touched the swollen spot on the back of his neck. He then decided to go to the place where he had trained before, hoping to find some clues left by the guy who attacked him. He could also take a shortcut through several alleys to get home faster, so that Ochaco wouldn't worry too much.

After all, judging by the time, it should have been lunchtime long ago. On a typical weekend when he was out exercising, he would have already been home and heated up a bento for Ochaco.

Thinking about this...

"I wonder if Ochaco. Is she still hungry?"

Uraraka Shige felt a vague sense of worry, but then suddenly found herself laughing at her own reaction.

"Does Ochaco really have to go hungry without me? If Ochaco knew about this presumptuous thought, she'd probably be quite unhappy, wouldn't she?"

After all, wouldn't his thinking completely treat Ochaco properly? Although Ochaco was indeed a child at this moment, she was still his older sister in this life, and heating up a bento box wouldn't be difficult for her.

Just as Uraraka Shige was thinking this, and then suddenly chuckled, a familiar voice called out to him, making him listen intently.

"Stay away... Shige... Let go..."

The sound wasn't very loud, so Uraraka Shige could only make out the general idea, but even that small part made his still somewhat immature face change color instantly.

"This is... Ochaco!"

The voice he couldn't quite make out was none other than his older sister's voice in this life, and judging from the tone, it was clear that Ochaco was in some kind of trouble. How could Uraraka Shige possibly remain at ease?

So Uraraka Shige rushed towards the direction from which the sound came, even using his 'Quirk' techniques to speed up his progress in order to get there as quickly as possible. He also took a deep breath and then shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Ochaco!"

His voice was much louder than Ochaco's, and it immediately shook several stunted leaves off the surrounding trees, gradually carrying its sound.

Unfortunately, Ochaco seemed to be some distance away from him, so although his voice was louder, it didn't penetrate as well as Ochaco's, being a girl, and thus failed to reach Ochaco.

This immediately filled him with resentment.

"Hateful!"

Driven by anxiety, Uraraka Shige increased his running speed further. The surrounding environment rushed past him, and he could even feel the air coming towards him turning into gusts of wind, trying to hinder his progress.

At the same time, an even louder roar came from Uraraka Shige's mouth.

"Ochaco!!!"

This time, because the roar was louder and higher-pitched, and the distance was also shorter, it finally successfully conveyed the three words to Ochaco's ears, and Ochaco received a clearer response.

"Shige! There are lots of bad people here! Don't come any closer!"

However, how could Uraraka Shige listen to Ochaco's words? He immediately started running and opened his mouth again, intending to shout out his words of concern. However, after opening his mouth, he could only cough twice with difficulty. Because of these two coughs, he had difficulty breathing and almost fell to the ground.

"Tch, did you hurt your throat or vocal cords when you roared too loudly just now?"

Uraraka Shige mentally berated himself, then listened to Ochaco's voice again and again as he ran, trying to clear his sore throat. Finally, after taking a deep breath, a roar burst forth from the small park along with his figure.

"I am coming!!!"
