how is she so rich? this is why
A/N - i have decided to change the age of kuromi to 1 year above than what it was before. making her right now 13, instead of 12. (it would take to much time to get to UA. as in so much more would pass.)

It's been two months since I first met Aizawa at the café, and honestly, it was one of the best things to happen. Why? Well, ever since then, most of the UA staff have started showing up every week or so. their presences are soo fucking entertaining, even if it's only like once a week.
one example being, any time mic enters the place, snow tries her absolute 101% to beat the ever-loving shit out of her. well, playfully cause I mean goddamn, snow can hit like a truck. Another is the second time Aizawa came he . . . tamed the darkness. yeah, i guess it makes sense, they're both emo. one's an emo cat that lives in the shadows and the other is an emo human, who also lives in the shadows. funnily enough.
but another very helpful thing is that nezu, using Aizawa as a delivery boy, delivered me a card that, Basically puts me a step below nezu at UA. clearance wise. must be because I'm so helpful, and i also give nice weapons to him in disguise of a puzzle.
but anyway, the card is a much more convenient way to enter the building cause now I no longer need to break in every time I want to deliver my fun b̶o̶m̶b̶s̶ inventions. Pretty convenient, if you ask me.
or maybe, this was probably a "Hey, stop breaking into my place, I'll give you an invite in. its been like 30 times now" from nezu. but obviously, he won't say it to my face. - or that's what I'd like to believe. -
anyway, at the moment. I was playing a game of Go in which I was not doing well in. Go was a game I had not played much in my many lives. but it was interesting. war is fun, even if it is only with white and black stones.
nezu took a sip of tea as he placed a white stone on a place on the board closing off a territory, a glint of confidence in his eyes with this move "nezu, I was wondering if you have anyone in the school with a gravity quirk?" I asked randomly as I placed a black stone on the board. nezu placed a white one with a small smile, not much thought into his moves. "hmm, not on the top of my head."
he said as I scanned the board, thinking of a way to put a stone down that would make me gain and not lose. "why do you ask?" I then after taking a few good seconds, placed my piece on the board "Well, recently I have been tinkering with the idea of an artificial gravity machine and I am quite close to making a working prototype, but using online examples - which I have been doing - is just not enough." nezu placed his piece with a small grin "what I need is an in real life demonstration so that I could get a better grasp at it. you know." I said as i gazed at the board, quickly realizing that I was basically forced into a loss. cause if this game were to continue he would have 52% of the board in his control.
i put my hand out for him to shake with a sigh "Yeah, it's my loss. Good game" he took his last sip of tea and shook my hand "Indeed it was" he mused as he placed his cup down. "well, I can go check in the system and send over a list of students, it'll just take a few minutes, but I do need to remind you that those not in the hero course will have a hard time demonstrating their abilities. now, are you up for another?" he said as he put the 2 different types of stones in their respective containers.
i watched for a second before shaking my head, "No can do" i got up from my chair and walked to the door, i quickly turned my head around "I'm a bit busy tonight." i then whipped my head back and walked through the door. closing it behind me.
Nezu's sharp gaze lingered on the closed door for a moment, a soft chuckle escaping him as he finished putting the stones back in their respective containers. "Busy tonight, hmm? well, I hope, she isn't breaking bones." his gaze fell onto his trusty Computer "Guess I'll do it now, hmm. might ask a favor in return for this" he chuckled again before logging in.

I looked through my phone at the spreadsheet in front of me, it was one about apartment complexes. why would I be looking at those? well a couple of years ago, when I was 10, after i had just got my business degree. i thought "What's a good way to earn easy money" I realized "renting" was the best, well stocks were, but I am only so good at that. that's why after getting a good enough amount of money from stocks, I bought an entire apartment complex and in just 2 years that turned into me owning 10 different apartment complexes, with 6 different flats in each one.
now, obviously, this was a lot of work, since owning 10 entire complexes with 6 different flats. means at least 60 different tenants. that is a lot of work for me, for someone who would rather do other stuff, like making a secret base under a mountain that housed a fuck ton of research about quirks. making androids and how to steal quirks. (ahem) or even a cafe.
so what I did was hire 2 "assistants" well, more like property managers that did all the work. but I digress. now, like any other job people like having vacation time. so one of them asked for PTO for a couple of weeks and as the very kind boss I am. I let her, but since I didn't want the other manager, to be overwhelmed with the other person's half of the work. I decided to take her place.
which led me here, since at the moment there were 12 people who were late on 2 months of rent or more, and I need to go talk to them. yaaaay, customer interaction. hah, soon the I-island investment should return some profit. then I wouldn't need to do this. oh well.

*RING, Ring, ring* apartment 2A in complex 2 was my first stop. i had an overdue rent notice in my hand, neatly folded and waiting. after a few minutes, a middle-aged man opened the door, he had a half-empty opened can of special juice in his hand, wearing a tank top that wasn't big enough to hid his bear belly. 'yikes, hopefully not one of those people'
he blinked at me, confused as he didn't know why a 13-year-old was at his door. "good afternoon, i am here to discuss about your multiple overdue rent bills that have now been building up. it's been about" i quickly checked the rent notice in my hand "3 months since the last payment."
he let out a groan as he rubbed the back of his neck, pausing for a few seconds to think up an excuse "Yeah, uh, I've been meaning to get to that. Just... money's been tight, you know?"
hmm... that half-opened beer can in your hand is not doing you justice.
"i understand" i replied in a polite tone, there was no need to be hostile. it just makes it harder. "but, 3 months is quite the long time, if this is to be kept up, then we will have to resort to more drastic measures. If you are struggling, then we can make a payment plan to ease things on your side. but if not, then we'll be forced to escalate the situation. now, personally, escalation is not needed but, keep missing those fees and it'll get to that point"
I handed him his multiple fee slips "You can organize the payment plan online or make other terms on the phone. now, good day." I gave a small nod before walking off to the next building, in the corner of my eye I could see the guy with a panic-stricken face and thought to myself 'Maybe it's a divorced dad that has alcohol depression. oh well, next one. I think it was 4E'

"Finally, the last one. Man, I didn't know young adults were such assholes" I complained as I walked up the steps to the last apartment I needed to go to today. it took around an hour to finish 11 tenants, which yeah might seem like a lot of time but in reality, it was mostly me walking to the buildings. but oh well, let's see the last one.
i unfolded the fees for the last tenant, which wasn't that bad, just 1 month late on fees. "wait, hold on" I said as I read the name registered for the apartment.
"Inko midoriya"
'huh, well well well, isn't this a coincidence never thought I'd meet the MC this early... or actually maybe not' I thought as I checked the time and it was well past 4. 'no, nevermind he would be at home at the moment. not like he has friends to stay out of his house. hmm,' I folded the notice back into place and walked up to the right door.
A/N (well well well its a MONKE[comment deleated] - Instagram reel commenter number 10023)
i pressed the bell and heard it chime, then i heard through the door "Honey, could you get that" presumably Inko said as I heard a more male?
- well, I mean as manly as Deku could be. put some makeup on his ass and he'd be an easily believable girl to most. -
voice, which was definitely the recognizable (and overused) voice shouted back "OK MOM, IN A SECOND"
a few seconds passed before my ears picked up footsteps, the door unlocking before it opened up. reveling the thin moss-headed teen that was Izuku Midoriya. 'you know, what thing i didn't get. midoriya is smart. . . yet why in the flying fuck did he not train a single day in his life? yet expects to go into the NUMBER 1 HERO SCHOOL with no quirk? doesn't make sense. anyway, enough rambling... wait didn't he freeze up from just talking to uraraka for 1 second?'
i see his face morph into shyness as he freezes up, 'ah, well... this makes this hard' "Um. . . hello?" I asked and no dice, he is in dreamland.
###
I stood there for a good minute before he actually started to move again, and that was when I took my cue "Good afternoon, could you get your parent or guardian, inko midoriya? I have things to speak to her."
. . .
he froze again, didn't he?
. . .
fuck.
. . .
well it is entertaining, at least.

i threw my shoes off and walked out to the kitchen, where 16 (yes, I named the android 16, yes I gave him the same personality. but it's not a rip-off. ok. he's not as tall/bulky as him. not the same.) was feeding the cats, well, 4 of em, the electric twins -charge and bolt (yep, great names) - are playing with a lamp, or maybe threatening it, like it owed them drug money. (hah, interagation)
snow, who was almost finished, quickly ate the rest of her food and fell through the floor. only to shoot back up and into the air in front of me. She landed on my shoulder and with a soft tired meow sprawled her limbs across my shoulder, with her face up to my neck.
snow, was very young when I found her, so she kinda imprinted on me. She is definitely the most attached. right now she is only 5 months old. and I found her when she looked to be less than a month old. but obviously, I couldn't check with her owners as they were, trying to kill her.
but that doesn't matter to me, what matters to me is that she is cute and she likes head pats... or rubs... basically a lot of physical touch. which is something I also like. but something I won't do is overfeed. i love her, but I know that overfeeding is a bad thing.
well, anyway. enough of that, I'm hungry for a toasty.
A/N man, I do love filler. i love random slice of life. i also like writing shit for fun.
