Chapter 101: Daughter of Dad's Best FriendAuthor: Geraint
Sitting together on a bench, the young woman who had just crashed into Ichika was apologizing as she wiped his face. She thought he looked familiar—like she'd seen him somewhere before.
"I'm really sorry! I was in such a hurry that I lost my balance!"
"I'm fine, but my shirt got a little dirty. Well, I'll just take a shower at the hotel," Ichika said calmly. He didn't seem to mind.
"How about I make it up to you? I can wash your shirt at my place—"
"I told you, it's fine. Aren't you in a hurry? You should go take care of your business."
The young woman slapped her forehead as she suddenly remembered.
"That's right! I have to meet with Uncle Might! My dad already troubled him by asking him to bring his son here—I can't keep them waiting! I have to hurry!" she said, standing up quickly.
"Sorry, but I have to go!"
"Yeah, see you later," Ichika replied with a wave and a smile.
The young woman ran off in a hurry, but something about Ichika was still bugging her.
"Okay, I'll look around the city by myself and get lost... Haha. I didn't expect to run into her here," Ichika muttered as he stood up and left the area.
Wandering around, he found a humongous building—it was a pavilion. Curious, he stepped inside and discovered a sleek blue museum showcasing ultra-advanced support gear for Pro Heroes.
Despite the impressive inventions, Ichika looked bored and uninterested. He tested a few of the devices, hoping for inspiration for his next innovation, but everything lacked the "romance" that drove his creativity.
"Should I release the 'Dokodemo Door'? Probably not. I don't want to cause another global incident."
With nothing sparking his interest, he left the pavilion and returned to the streets.
Soon, he found a café and entered to relax. After ordering a latte and some strawberry-filled pancakes, he sat at a table in the corner.
"Mm... not bad," he muttered, sipping his latte.
Noticing someone staring at him, he looked around. Finding no one inside, he glanced out through the glass wall—and froze.
Several old men in retro pharmacist outfits were standing outside the café, watching him intently. They knocked on the glass, motioning for him to come out.
Ichika ignored them, took another sip of his latte, and popped the last piece of pancake into his mouth.
"Yummy," he said out loud, just to show off.
When he finally stepped outside, the old men immediately dropped to their knees.
"Seriously?" Ichika muttered, cheeks twitching at the bizarre sight.
"Professor Yagi! We're begging you! Please share your knowledge with us!"
"You're the only one who can solve our problem!"
"We tried recreating your patents, but it's impossible!"
Ichika walked up and squatted in front of them.
"I don't know which of my patents you tried to copy, but the answers and formulas are already on my company's website. Why don't you just go study them yourselves? Everything's there."
"We can't! It's beyond our understanding!"
"Yeah! It feels like something's missing—we just can't make it work!"
Ichika nodded at their frustration.
"I see. Fine, I'll help—but only to the point that it won't impact my company."
As they walked, Ichika pulled a device out from thin air—summoning it from a void.
"What's that, Professor Yagi?" one of the scientists asked.
"It's called a Scouter. A device that measures a person's power level."
He attached it to his right ear and turned it on.
"Let's see..."
Spotting a beautiful young woman nearby, he tested the device on her. The green lens on his right eye scanned her, and he frowned.

"...Huh?"
"What's wrong, Professor Yagi?"
"That woman is wearing pads. Her chest looks big, but it's just foam. Her real power level is 19. Her quirk produces scales on her skin or something like that."
"What?!"
The other scientists were stunned. Ichika chose not to mention the other data he'd seen.
"Let's try someone else."
He scanned another woman.

His eyes widened.
"This thiccness! Don't tell me—"
"Hm?"
The woman turned toward him—it was Mirko.
"Rumi?"
"Ichika!"
Mirko, in a formal red dress with a thigh-high slit, revealed her powerful legs. Ichika's eyes were glued to her thighs.
"Rumi, what are you doing here?"
"Ryukyu brought me as her companion. But I lost her somewhere… I wonder where she went?" she said, looking around.
"Want to come with me for now? I'll contact her later."
"I can't—I came here to help with her job. Anyway, what about you?"
"My dad's best friend invited me to help with their innovations."
The scientists behind him nodded.
"Looks like you're busy."
"Not really. I just have to teach them a bit, then I'm free. Want to hang out tomorrow?"
"Sure, I'm open."
"Great, I'll message you."
After parting ways with Mirko, Ichika went to the lab and began sharing his knowledge. He was strict, but the scientists were amazed by the cutting-edge inventions he revealed.
"Thank you very much!" they all bowed in gratitude.
It was midnight by the time Ichika left the lab.
"That was tiring..." he sighed.
He suddenly realized he hadn't met up with his family since getting separated.
"Wait!"
"Huh?"
A tall man with aqua eyes, light brown hair, glasses, and a goatee came rushing toward him.
"I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier. You were busy teaching, and I didn't want to interrupt. My name is David Shield—I'm the one who asked your father to bring you here. Thank you for coming."
"So you're Uncle Dave. I'm Yagi Ichika, All Might's adopted son."
"I've heard all about you. He's very proud of you, Captain Falcon."
"I'm just an ordinary brat now."
"I spoke with All Might this morning. Let me take you to your room."
"Thanks."
They got into a small vehicle that had just pulled up.
"Oh, by the way... there was a problem with your hotel room."
"Huh? What now?"
"It caught fire. Cause unknown, though it may have been electrical."
"..."
Ichika had a bad feeling.
"Since I was the one who begged All Might to bring you, you'll be staying at my place for now."
"But I heard you live with your daughter."
"Haha! I don't think she'll mind."
Several minutes later, at David's home—
Ichika was fresh out of the bath, drying his hair with a towel in front of the mirror. He was completely naked.
"Ah~ That was refreshing!"
Suddenly, the door opened—and in walked the blonde woman he met that morning. She was wearing a pink shirt and orange shorts, clearly sleepy—until she saw him.
Her eyes widened. Then, she froze, flustered, staring down.
"Wah!"
Ichika quickly covered himself with a towel and glared.
"Where are you looking, pervert?! Can't you see someone's in here through the glass door?! At least learn to knock!" he scolded.
"Eh?"
The young woman couldn't look away, her eyes still glued to his body.
"I-I-I—"
Bonk!
Ichika karate-chopped her on the head.
"Ouch!"
