The Third Chance Encounter in the Small Park

After all that had happened, it was already quite late. After finishing her bread and quenching her thirst with the drink Uraraka Shige. The moon was already hanging high in the sky.

Now that his hunger problem has been solved, the next issue is finding a place to rest for the night. However, in his current state, he can't go home. So where can he find rest to spend the night?

He began to think again.

A thick, dark cloud drifted across the sky, temporarily obscuring the moonlight. Uraraka Shige in thought on the ground, suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes. He then snapped out of his reverie and made a decision.

"Then let's go back there for now... we'll just have to make do there for the night..."

Uraraka Shige turned around and, following the path she had taken to get here, began to walk towards the small park she had previously visited.

After all, with his current amount of money, he simply couldn't afford to spend the night in a hotel. And if he wanted to stay in a private guesthouse, he was indeed too young in this life; unless it was a place with ulterior motives, they probably wouldn't take him in...

Furthermore, considering the need to conceal her identity, Uraraka Shige ultimately decided to return to the small park, find a relatively secluded place to rest for the night, and try to recharge her energy before starting to gather clues and investigate All Might's whereabouts the next day.

It was still that same alley, now even darker in the night, almost pitch black. Only when the moon was not obscured by the clouds and its light shone into the alley could one vaguely make out the surroundings.

If it were an ordinary child, they would definitely feel scared in this situation because of the dark and silent environment, and might even cry and close their eyes to run away from the alley.

However, Uraraka Shige, who possessed memories of her previous life, was not an ordinary child, nor did she have claustrophobia or similar problems. Therefore, she simply pondered in a calm and silent manner, and unknowingly walked out of the alley.

Because she didn't need to hide her footsteps or figure to avoid being discovered by the three homeless men while walking through this alley, Uraraka Shige walked much faster than before, and soon stepped onto the dirt ground of the path in the small park again.

This small park is rarely visited by people on ordinary days.

But at night, this small park, which had a rather natural feel during the day, inexplicably became much more eerie, like the dark, gloomy, and unknown jungles that appear in some horror movies.

This small park only has a small grove of trees, and if it weren't for the clumps of bushes that often cover the edges of the grove, one could easily see from one end of the grove to the other.

However, even if that were true, it would have nothing to do with Uraraka Shige.

Uraraka Shige from the entrance of the path to its end, arriving inside the small park. There, he found himself in a patch of bushes that had been deliberately disturbed, its branches intertwined between two smaller bushes. It was completely inconspicuous, its location extremely hidden. In the six months since Uraraka Shige started training in this park, he had never noticed that there was even a path here...

"I wonder who stepped on it, when, and for what purpose..."

Such a thought flashed through Uraraka Shige's mind.

Since this was ultimately something completely unimportant to Uraraka Shige himself, he didn't dwell on it further after the thought crossed his mind, simply letting it dissipate in his thoughts.

Moreover, there was something even more concerning for Uraraka Shige at this moment.

As he emerged from the gap in the bushes, he subconsciously glanced around and spotted a slender, blurry figure sitting quietly on a park bench not far away, with her hands seemingly resting on her lower abdomen.

The figure seemed to have seen him as well, and was quite surprised by his appearance. Almost the instant he stepped out of the bushes, the figure stood up abruptly and turned to look in Uraraka Shige's direction.

Then a voice rang out, the same voice that this was the third time the person had encountered that day.

Why did you come here?!

The voice paused for a moment, then continued:

What exactly is your purpose?!

Upon hearing that gentle and pleasant female voice Uraraka Shige's expression immediately turned strange, and she then asked the figure a question.

"I should be asking you... why are you in a place like this?"

To be honest, if Uraraka Shige hadn't realized that he had no prior purpose and didn't even know where or in what direction he would go next, he would definitely have suspected that the girl in front of him had deliberately come here early to wait for him.

"I've returned the money to you, and I've also given you the bread and drinks I bought with it. You should go back to where you belong. Why are you here? What are you trying to do by following me here?!"

Several slender, snake-like shadows began to spread and writhe around the figure. At the same time, the figure itself took a step forward as it spoke, exposing itself to the moonlight that peeked out from behind the clouds.

I don't know what made you think that way.

Uraraka Shige's expression remained somewhat strange, but his eyes had concealed all emotion, making him look somewhat eerie in the night, despite his appearance as a rather short child.

"But I didn't follow you here. I had spent the whole day here, and after dinner, I didn't know where to go, so I just came back. So, actually, my being here has nothing to do with you."

In fact, Uraraka Shige wanted to add something like, "It's not that I'm after your beauty," but after thinking about it, he decided not to say it. Uraraka Shige felt that if he did, his intended meaning of "you're so narcissistic" would be too direct.

After all, although he is a selfish guy and doesn't care about other people's feelings, it doesn't mean he won't use some verbal tricks to gain an advantage in certain aspects and avoid potential troubles.
