3. Missing Girl

Shouto glared at his phone then frowned. He looked at the empty room. Fuyumi did not return from her work. This made him worried because the night had fallen.


"Fuyumi, did you see my-"


Natsuo stared at Shouto that stood in front of his sister room. The older brother scratched his head. "Where is Fuyumi?"


The youngest child shook his head. "I've been calling her number, but there's no answer. I'm going to ask for his help."


"Well, that's rare."


Endeavour was sitting in the tatami room, reading the newspaper. He startled when someone opened the sliding door. He even more shocked to find Natsuo and Shouto came together for him. A cold sweat broke from his head.


Both did not bring a bowl of noodles in their hand.


A strange wave of relief hit him.


Natsuo did not say anything. He still felt awkward toward his father. Even in this situation, he was reluctant to talk to Enji. They had the most strenuous relationship in the whole family. Natsuo did not even know how to break the situation to his own father.


"Fuyumi was late. She did not answer her phone."


Shouto spoke in his stead. Natsuo was glad that his brother was a straight-forward person.


Endeavour's face went pale. "I am asking the hero association to track her phone now."


Natsuo tilted his head. "We're going that far? Shouldn't we respect her privacy or something?"


"I don't like his method, but for once I agree with him," Shoto added. After spending time as a hero, he understood how dark and grim the job. The villain never hesitated to kidnap people for various reason. Being relative of hero made the family more prone to harm.


Enji was talking through the phone. His voice was strained. "Are you sure? This is terrible..."


"What happened?" Natsuo now became anxious.


"Fuyumi's phone is at school. She is not in there."


The number one hero used his resource to find Fuyumi. He finally received a call from the Hero Association. Fuyumi was caught on of public camera. Endeavour put their conversation on speaker.


"We found her. She is having dinner in a restaurant."


"I-I see." Endeavour relieved. His daughter was not kidnapped. "She is probably having dinner in the family restaurant with her coworker and forgets about her phone."


"We-well, sir... I don't think that is the case." The voice across the phone trembled in fear. "I- I caught video of her..." His subordinate took a deep breath. "... with Hawks."


"WITH WHO?"Endeavour voice was full of outburst rage. Natsuo and Shouto were shocked after hearing it. "SEND ME THE FOOTAGE!"


They watched Hawks and Fuyumi smiled next to each other. Both had a conversation and walked to a hotel. His hand wrapped around her waist. He had a smug victorious grin plastered on his face. Hawks was proud in his "success of stealing your daughter and sister".


Three of them screamed. The whole neighbourhoods were surprised at it.


In the hospital, Rei Todoroki sneezed. The nurse came to check her condition but she assured her condition was stable.


"I'm fine but.... I have a feeling my family is going to do dumb stuff. I hope Enji and my sons aren't causing Fuyumi any problem."
