The 51. Disastrous Day

Saiki, who had planned to wash up and directly go to sleep, suddenly remembered that there was one more thing to do.


[Oh, I almost forgot. ]


Ten minutes before midnight Saiki appeared at the Hosu General Hospital, he was invisible and stood in front of a seriously injured young patient's bed.


The young man probably had just undergone surgery, wearing an oxygen mask, followed by a weird tube, his hair was shaved and bandaged.


Even in his sleep, he was uneasy and frowned, as if in a bad dream.


[So this is Iida's brother? ]


Looking at the weak and pale patient in front of him, Saiki stretched out his hand and reverted his state back to a day before.


[They look quite alike. ]


The mashine on the side detected a peculiar change of the patient's body and issued a harsh alarm. In an instant, Saiki could heart the doctor outside.


[I got to go now, goodbye. ]


The young man in the bed had opened his eyes and was looking around him, feeling that there was someone in the room before, but soon he had no time to look further because he found out the changes in his body.


"Huh? This is ..."


The young man sat up in shock. He tentatively touched the wound that had been pierced before, but felt no pain.


An unbelievable conjecture rose in his heart, as he removed the bandage on his body ...


"What happened? Are you okay ?!" The late doctor broke into the door anxiously.


He saw the young man sitting on the bed, turning his head stunned, his lips moving slightly.


"What?" The doctor thought he had heard it wrongd.


"... the wounds are all gone." 


...


[Yare yare, I almost got caught by the doctor. ]


Saiki sat on his bed, holding a coffee jelly in his hand and eating it happily.


Of course, he generally would not eat such high-calorie sweets at night, but today was really too long, full of story and twists and turns, in short, he was worn out greatly, so in order to be able to sleep well he just decided to give myself a small reward for comfort.


[Well, it's just a sacrifice that must be made to get a good night's sleep. ]


Taking another bite of the jelly, Saiki's expressionless face seemed to be filled with happiness, there even seemed to be pink bubbles behind him.


"Ding!"


[No, not even emails can interrupt the time I eat coffee jelly. ]


"Ding!"


[So annoying. ]


The annoying notifications kept coming, like it was urging Saiki to give up his persistence.


After taking the last bite, Saiki finally gave a glance to his phone.


[? It's Midoriya. ]


The baby-faced childhood friend of his sent him a bunch of GIFs.


[Why are you still awake at this late hour? ]


Answering with a question mark, Midoriya gave a reply right away.


The No. 1 All Might Fan: Does Saiki-san have time tomorrow?


Coffee Jelly: No.


The No. 1 All Might Fan: Please! There is something very important I need to ask! [Sad.GIF]


The No. 1 All Might Fan: A new dessert shop opened over at the station and seems to have some delicious sweets. Let's go together tomorrow!


Saiki was still extremely indifferent, trying to bribe him with a little dessert to give up the hard-won holiday, who does he think he is...


The No. 1 All Might Fan: I heard that their coffee jelly is first-class!


Coffee Jelly: At what time?


After he agreed about the time and place for tomorrow. Saiki turned off his phone without any sense of shame.


He turned off the light and was looking forward to tomorrow's coffee jelly, not knowing what would be waiting for him.


...


"Kusuo! Kusuo!!"


[What's wrong, so early in the morning ... Is father late for work or forgot to wear pants? ]


Saiki opened his bedroom door with a dark face, there were two frightened faces in front of him.


[...]


Saiki: 'What are you doing? '


"Kusuo! Look! ... Yesterday's Sports Festival !!"


Saiki's mother pointedly pointed at the TV, which was broadcasting the Sports Festival of yesterday. Several hosts talked about the surprises brought by the current quality of the UA students.


[Isn't this normal? ]


Saiki watched his face appear on the TV. Although he tried to keep a low-profile, he still had several invincible close-ups.


[I am second place after all. ]


"No no no! Not this !!!" 


[Why would Kusuo ...with that boy ...]


Saiki: ?


Feeling that something was wrong, Saiki went back to his room and picked up his phone.


"It's today's news headlines!" Saiki Kurumi reminded in a low voice, making Saiki wonder why her tone had a hint of excitement.


Saiki looked at his phone and saw the notification bar at first glance.


[Shocking! A high-profile declaration towards the entire first years! The R+representative of UA's first year students ...]


[Love and hate! A heartbroken kiss in the smoke, the champion is mine, but I am yours ...]


Saiki: ...


Saiki: I don't want to see more.


Although the title seemed to have perfectly summed up his Sports Festival, there was slight hope in his heart, hoping that there would be some celebrities announcing that they were dating to cover this up.


Casually clicking on one of the articles, the first thing that jumped out was a large picture.


The original dust particles from the smoke, that are not clearly seen casted a blurry filter on the entire picture.


The blond-haired young man's eyes were slightly closed, unlike his usual aggressive face, in the photo he wrapped his arms around his opponent, his expression was calm, making his features look even more attractive. His gentle demeanor also made him look like he was kissing a lifetime treasure...


Saiki: ...


Saiki: Oh my.


[Wait, what kind of timing is this, my image has completely collapsed! ... Their description of the scene is too disgusting, can you please take a look at your words?! ]


Suddenly feeling a little difficult to breathe, Saiki quickly tapped away from this suffocating picture, refusing to admit that one of the two was himself, but the next picture was just as bad.


It was another close-up picture.


The pink-haired boy had lost consciousness while lying on the ground. The blonde-haired boy knelt down beside him and leaned down slightly, as if he couldn't believe what he saw, he reached out and stroked the side of his face, his red pupils full of heartbreak ...


Saiki: ...


[Wait, when did this happen?! ]


[It's unbelievable that Bakuou would show such an expression. ]


Thinking that this is an edited photo from the unscrupulous media, Saiki  withdrew from the news page and no longer looked at those fake news. Then he turned to look at his anxious parents who were watching him, waiting for a calm and reasonable explanation.


'These are all fake. '


[Yes, these are all edited pictures, edited pictures! ]


His father handed him his mobile phone with trembling hand: "But Kusuo... There is also a video..."


Crack.


The phone made an era-piercing sound. 


"!......"


As he took his broken phone, Saiki Kuniharu looked at his son's face that showed a smiling expression.


'Yes, the video is also fake. '


Saiki's expressionless face showed a trace of determination.


"Kusuo!" Saiki Kurumi grabbed his sleeve and looked at him seriously: "Mother never forced you to bring a lovely girl back, because Kusuo is different, so as long as you're with someone, your mother will always be happy ... it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl ... "


"... So ... take responsibility for Katsuki-kun, Kusuo!"


Saiki: ...?


Saiki who was the innocent victim: ... Who exactly is the one to be held responsible?
