Chapter 52 - Do you want to come?

"Dio, Bakugou, do you want to go somewhere after this?" Kirishima asked. He thought that he should strengthen the bond between the three of them.

"Sorry, I have something to do after this," Brando said. He thought that it was good to spend his time with them but he had something to do after this.

"Where are you going?" Kirishima asked.

"I'm going to see a concert, my friends are performing there," Brando said.

"Concert?" Kirishima was curious.

"Is that old song crap?" Bakugou asked. He remembered watching him on television yesterday.

"No, it is an idol," Brando said.

"...."

"Idol?" Bakugou and Kirishima stopped and looked at him with a confused expression.

"Yeah, do you know Love Live?" Brando asked.

"....."

"You don't?" Brando asked.

They shook their heads since this info was a bit too much for them. They would have never thought that someone who had a scary Quirk would have such a hobby.

"It's a competition between an idol group," Brando said.

"Idol? That's not manly!" Kirishima said while shaking his head.

"Do you love that kind of crap?" Bakugou asked and felt confused.

"You misunderstand me, I'm accompanying someone," Brando said.

"Accompanying someone?" Kirishima was confused until he heard someone calling Dio's name.

"Brando-kun! Over here!"

Brando looked at both of them and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

"....."

They were speechless by his invitation.

"No, I don't have an interest in an idol," Kirishima shook his head and said, "I also need to do my muscle training."

"There is no way that I will listen to that crap," Bakugou said.

Brando sighed, "You should loosen up for a bit, I will go now." He said and walked toward the group of girls.

"Damn, that guy...." Kirishima was speechless when he saw a lot of beautiful girls around him. He wanted him to ask him one more time since he wanted to go when he saw a group of girls but it was too late now. He was wondering where he had known them. He understood the meaning of 'hoes before bros' now.

"Damn, man-whore," Bakugou spat him.

"....." Kirishima patted his shoulder, "You won't get girls this way."

"SHUT UP!!!"

---

"Is that your friend?" Yui asked.

"Yeah, I wanted to invite them, but they didn't want to," Brando said, and asked, "Why are there a lot of you here?" He saw that there were six girls right now and felt a bit speechless.

"I invite them," Kendo said.

"Yeah, there is no way that we can let both of you be alone," Setsuna said.

"...."

Brando looked at Yui who didn't show a change of emotion,'This girl....'

"Let me introduce you to these are Pony Tsunotori and Kinoki Kimori," Kendo said.

"Hello..." Pony said with the English language.

"Hello," Kinoko nodded.

"Foreigners?" Brando asked.

"Yeah, Pony is from America," Setsuna said.

"All of the class 1-B girls are here right now," Kendo said.

"Yeah, aren't you happy that you have monopolized us?" Setsuna said.

"....."

Brando could see that Yui kept looking at him without emotion.

"I've heard that you're living in the apartment next to Yui," Kinoko said.

"Yeah," Brando nodded and didn't hide that thing.

"Then, it is similar to a manga, desu!" Pony said.

"..."

Brando looked at her speechless expression.

"She loves manga," Setsuna said.

"Oh," Brando nodded and asked, "What manga do you love?"

"I love Food Wars, desu!" Pony answered him.

Brando felt that his heart beating very fast when he heard that name.

"Oh, what manga is that?" Kendo asked.

"It's about food and when someone eats the food they will become n.a.k.e.d and show a funny reaction, desu," Pony said.

"Really? Can you show it to us?" Kendo asked.

"Yeah, desu," Pony nodded.

They were walking while talking to each other.

"This is the manga, the reaction is funny, desu!" Pony said and showed them.

Their faces were a bit red when they saw that the drawing was a bit lewd.

"Isn't this a lewd manga?" Setsuna said unconsciously.

"No! No! Desu! This is a manga about a chef, not something lewd, desu!" Pony said and showed them, "Look! The food is really good, desu! You can see from the drawing and I have kept the recipe!"

They looked at the picture of the food that had been created and the recipe from the food.

'Hmm? This is a food and a recipe that I have seen before,' Yui thought and turned toward him.

Brando blinked his eyes when he met her eyes.

"...."

Yui suddenly thought of something and remembered his secretive job, 'Don't tell me.'

Brando who looked at Yui was wondering whether this girl realized something. He felt a bit panicked when Pony showed them the food and recipe that had been created in 'Food Wars' manga that he had created. He looked at Ibara who didn't have that much interest in the conversation, "Ibara, you're not taking care of your plants?"

"I wanted to but they forced me to come," Ibara said.

"When are you going to pay me back?" Brando asked.

"....."

"Oh, can you show me the manga again?" Ibara suddenly became interested in the manga and asked a lot of questions. She tried to avoid his gaze and hid her body around everyone.

"...."

Brando was speechless by this girl's reaction. He looked at Yanagi who had been silent, "You're not that interested too in this concert?"

Yanagi shook her head, "I don't really like crowded places." She thought that it was better to spend her time browsing the internet or coming to his apartment since she could watch a horror movie and eat good food.

"Then, why come?" Brando asked.

"I don't want to become a loner," Yanagi said.

"...."

"Stay with me, at least I will make room when it gets stuffy later," Brando said.

"Thank you," Yanagi said and asked, "But is that okay?"

"Why?" Brando asked.

"Yui has been staring at you for a while, is that okay?" Yanagi asked.

"....."
