A Chance Encounter with Destiny
Part 53
I'm wondering whether I really caught him in a bad moment, when his lips widen in a huge grin and he bows with much more passion than I ever did. He doesn't hit the ground yet, but it's a close call. "Nice to meet you! My name is Yoarashi Inasa! It will be my honor to take care of you!" I blink. I'm not sure that's how you're supposed to reply, but I'll take it. It was cute. "I was hoping to get his autograph," he says, turning towards Endeavor's retreating back. "I admire his strength as a hero! But..." his eyes cloud over. "I don't like that look he had." "Yeah," I nod solemnly, "There are better heroes out there." "Oohh!" Inasa's grin seems to glow. "You like heroes too? I love them! They're full of passion! I want to be a great hero one day! Plus ultra!" Holy shit- I had no idea what I was getting into when I sparked up a conversation with him. He's far too excited. My introvert self doesn't have half the energy to keep up. Abort mission. Too much effort required. Abort mission- "Yeah... I don't really know if I'll be a hero... It would be nice, I guess: saving people... But also dangerous?" "Don't worry!" Yoarashi gives me a pat on the back so strong that I almost fall on my knees. "Heroes always protect each other from danger! Fighting with friends, and passion of course, makes a hero invincible!"
