After the Fight, He Had to Meet the Family?

As for what Uraraka Shige realized—that there might be something in Uraraka Shige Momotani Hanawa that could help him advance further—it wasn't as difficult for him to discover as he had imagined.

In fact, after Uraraka Shige paid for the girl named Momotani Hanawa to buy some food at the convenience store to fill their stomachs, the two chatted for a while. Then the girl planned to take Uraraka Shige to find a place where they could rest temporarily, and on the way, she began to share some of her experiences in developing her 'Quirk' with Uraraka Shige.

It was at this time that Uraraka Shige began to understand the girl to some extent.

"When I was a child, my parents were taken away by a group of bad people. At that time, my parents hid me and I dared not move or make a sound. Therefore, I was lucky that I was not discovered by those vicious bad people."

This is when Momotani Hanawa began to tell her story.

"After that, I hid in the same spot for a long time without being discovered. It wasn't until I was starving that I finally dared to leave the house. By then, the house was a complete mess, and most of the food I could find was spoiled and inedible. But luckily, I still managed to find some things in the already filthy cupboard that were barely enough to fill my stomach."

"After that, those bad guys came to my house again and happened to find me. Fortunately, I had awakened my 'Quirk' for about two years by then, and I managed to escape from them thanks to my 'Quirk'."

Momotani Hanawa paused here, then suddenly glanced at Uraraka Shige.

"Oh, by the way, my 'Quirk' is 'Rope Limbs,' which allows me to manipulate ropes with incredible freedom, just like I can manipulate my own hands."

Uraraka Shige glanced at her but didn't say anything, simply continuing to listen quietly, while Momotani Hanawa continued her story.

"After that, I wandered for a long time, never daring to go home. When I was hungry, I would rely on my 'Quirk' to get something to eat. During that time, I encountered bad people several times, but I managed to escape each time thanks to my 'Quirk'."

From Momotani Hanawa's low voice Uraraka Shige could tell that she didn't miss that period of time, and even felt some hatred for it. Momotani Hanawa's next words confirmed this.

"During that time, I gradually became like the kind of bad person who kidnapped my parents, the kind of person I always hated, until I met a good person who helped me when I needed help the most and led me out of that dark period of my life."

However, Uraraka Shige wasn't actually interested in any of this. He just wanted to learn something from Momotani Hanawa that would help him improve and become stronger, and he didn't want to make the girl feel worse about him and affect the whole thing, so he listened quietly.

"That kind person was a very strange old woman, with an odd temper and somewhat peculiar behavior, but she was a very fond of children. However, if you saw her for the first time, you would really be quite startled by her."

As Momotani Hanawa spoke, she suddenly glanced at Uraraka Shige again.

"That old lady always insists on being called Granny Songju; perhaps that's one of her quirks? The place I'm taking you to is Granny Songju's apartment. They'll definitely let us stay overnight there, as a way of thanking you for treating me to dinner."

Momotani Hanawa finally revealed Uraraka Shige destination, and Uraraka Shige finally had the chance to speak. He then began to probe Momotani Hanawa in childlike language.

"Big sister, why are you so strong? When we fought before, I couldn't even get close to you."

However, he seemed to have forgotten that when he knocked down the three homeless men in the alley, Momotani Hanawa was also nearby and saw his true colors, so he wouldn't be deceived by his disguise.

Upon hearing him speak like that, Momotani Hanawa gave him a half-smile, half-smile. Although she wasn't much older than him, she suddenly exuded a very charming aura. Even when Uraraka Shige saw Momotani Hanawa's appearance again, he couldn't help but frown, feeling a slight tightness in his chest.

However, after giving him a sidelong glance, Momotani Hanawa didn't answer his question. Instead, she asked him a question in return.

"So, little brother, what is your 'Quirk'? My rope was actually affected by your 'Quirk' before."

Uraraka Shige hesitated somewhat about Momotani Hanawa's question, because in his opinion, it was rather foolish to casually expose one's 'Quirk' to others, since others might use it to target one's 'Quirk' at some point.

Momotani Hanawa seemed to have noticed Uraraka Shige's hesitation, so after taking a few more steps, she said:

"If you tell me your 'Quirk,' I'll tell you how I felt when I fought you before."

Uraraka Shige stunned for a moment, but quickly understood. If Momotani Hanawa told her about her feelings during their previous battle, she could find what she wanted to learn from it.

So Uraraka Shige nodded and agreed immediately.

"My 'Quirk' is Gravity, the 'Quirk' that allows me to manipulate Gravity."

But in the next instant, Uraraka Shige suddenly felt a chill, because if Momotani Hanawa really meant that, then wouldn't that mean that her thoughts and ideas had been accurately predicted by this girl named Momotani Hanawa? She wondered what her purpose was.

Thus, Uraraka Shige's introduction of his 'Quirk' ended there, just like Momotani Hanawa's introduction of his 'Quirk', which only revealed a name and the general abilities of his 'Quirk'. As for detailed information, data, and specific circumstances, he would have to observe and speculate on his own.

After hearing Uraraka Shige's explanation of her 'Quirk', Momotani Hanawa nod in understanding.

"I see, so it's due to Gravity? That's why it affects the rope I'm controlling, making it feel sluggish... It's quite an excellent ' Quirk '~"

Then Momotani Hanawa spoke again to Uraraka Shige:

"As for my impressions of you, I think you're a bit too sensitive, which is a strength. You're very perceptive of opportunities. I suppose you realized that my true form was my weakness in that previous state, which is why you kept launching attacks on me, right?"

Momotani Hanawa shook her head as she spoke.

"But you overlooked one point: I know exactly where my weaknesses lie, so naturally I took protective and remedial measures against them. The countermeasures you chose were precisely within the scope of my protective measures. From the very beginning, you lost the initiative and failed to display your own fighting style. Therefore, the defeat in this battle was predictable from the start."
