Chapter 7

1 year later

I am now nine years old and so far nothing much has happened. I have started gymnastics and I am still doing martial arts and my best friend is still Ichika. I have gotten a lot better at making ice needles and some other Jutsu. At school, I am the top of my class in basically everything because I already learned a lot in my past life. And currently, I am reading a book in my room when my mom comes home. So I go and greet her.

"Hello mom."

"Hello."

I then notice another person behind her. It is a man who looks to be around mid to high twenties and he has black hair with dark purple eyes.

The man then looks at me and walks up to me.

"You must be Takada-san. My name is Nomura Akitomo, but you can call me Akitomo-kun and I am one of your mom's friends from work."

"Ok then you can call me Kori-Chan"

"Akitomo-Kun will be joining us for dinner tonight."

"Ok."

I then go back to my room.

'So my mom got a boyfriend.'

I then go back to reading.

A little while later we eat dinner and Akitomo asks me some questions to get to know me better and I get to know him better and he is a pretty nice guy and my mom seems to really like him. After dinner, I go and do some homework and go to bed.

Next day at school

"Kori-chan want to go to my house and hang out today?"

"Go to your house?"

"Yea my mom said it was ok."

"Ok, then I will go."

'I don't think I have ever been to Ichika's house before so this should be fun.'

After school

"Here we are."

We have arrived at Ichika's house and we walked here because it's actually not far from the school.

We then go into her house and then go to her room.

Once we get into her room I look around and basically, everything is pink and most things have flower patterns on them which kinda makes sense because her quirk gives her the power to make flowers grow faster.

We then settle down in her room.

"My mom said that we would have to do some homework before we can have fun."

"Ok"

We then get out our homework and do some of it for around forty-five minutes.

"Finally we are done now we can have fun."

I have been wondering what she wanted to do because Ichika is a pretty active kid and really likes sports and would usually play them at school so I have been thinking about what she does at home.

She then walks over to her desk and pulls out nail polish!!!

"I wanted us to each other nails and if you didn't know how I would teach you."

She then sits back on the bed and starts looking at them probably thinking about what one to use.

'Dammit, nail polish. I have abandoned most of my manly pride in my new life by wearing cute clothes my mom likes and trying to act kinda girly but I feel like that if I put on nail polish the little remaining pride I have will die.'

She then looks at me with excitement in her eyes looking extremely happy.

"So which one do you want? And do you know how to use nail polish."

"Umm, I don't know how to use it."

I then look at the nail polish then at her face that is gleaming with excitement.

'I feel like if I say no she will be very sad and disappointed, So bye-bye manly pride.'

"I guess the blue one."

She then takes out the blue one and shows me how to use it and after she puts it on me and herself we hang out for a couple of hours until my mom comes and picks me.

"How was it at Ichika's house?"

I look down at my nails.

And scream at myself in my head again about being weak before answering my mom.

"It was fun."

We then get home and hangout.
