533 Silk Girl's Backstory

Over the course of the meal, Midori's parents blasted off questions upon questions at Saki, and at first, Midori felt like Saki was getting a bit overwhelmed by their constant chirpings. Fortunately, Saki was actually enjoying herself, and he decided to keep quiet and just watch over her.

It was actually quite surprising that everyone in the family was eating a meal at the dinner table. Since their family was once financially challenged, all the able-bodied people in the family got part-time jobs and worked their rear sides off as much as they could.

This meant that most of them were usually not home, and they rarely got to have a meal together. And even if they get to have the unusual chance of eating together, most of them would be too exhausted to have a normal exchange of words.

However, what happened right now felt like a dream. Everyone was contributing to the conversation while actively including Saki in it. They more or less asked Saki about her life in the countryside, and in no way did they ask prying questions like her relationship with Midori. freew ebnove l.com

In hindsight, both Midori's parents and Saki's parents had already agreed to pair off their children, that's why they weren't proactive when it came to pushing the relationship. It was clear that the two of them were attracted to each other, and their parents would jump at every chance to push them closer to each other.

In a way, this was a mission accomplished for the parents. Everything went by the book, and they'd have a great time exchanging information with each other in order to glue their children more.

Once dinner was over, and once Midori's mom sent a text over to Saki's mom about the success of their plans, it was time for a clean-up. Saki volunteered to help with the dishes, but she was shot down by Midori's mom.

"It's getting late, you might miss the last train, Saki." Midori's mom called out, turning her head over to Midori who was also helping with the clean-up. "Midori, you should accompany the young miss to the train station. It's getting late, you know."

"That's right, don't worry about the dishes, we can handle it." Midori's dad reassured him, gesturing that the two of them get out of there. "You should come over and visit next time, Saki? Or would you rather Midori visit you over there instead? If that's what you want you can just tell us, and we'll send him over straight away."

"D-dad!" Midori exclaimed since his father was teasing him once again.

Much to Midori's surprise, Saki just bowed in front of Midori's dad. "I'll be taking you up on your offer then, father," Saki returned. Not only did she call Midori's dad her father, but she also implied that she'd be availing his offer.

"W-w-what?" Midori stammered as his parents and siblings had a hearty laugh. With his ears turning red due to embarrassment, he grabbed Saki's hand and dragged her out of there.

In haste, Saki blurted out her farewell just before she found herself outside.

"What are you talking about, Saki?" Midori hissed in a low voice just so his family members wouldn't hear him.

"I really meant it, you know... and we already talked about this a while ago, right? You said you wanted to visit our place." Saki asked. It was obvious that she wasn't joking when she responded to Midori's dad a moment ago.

"B-b-but..."

"Mom and Dad would be delighted to have you over as well, and you get to help around the farm. Trust me, it would be fun." Saki incited. She was absolutely keen on bringing Midori over to her place.

"T-then... our semester break's coming in three months... I'll come to visit." Midori scratched his head, hanging his head low so Saki wouldn't completely see his bashful expression.

"Whewsss~ get a room you two," A voice came from the front gate.

"Gya!!" Midori flinched, and then he saw his older sister, Miyuu, looking over the steel bars of the gate. "Nee-san! Why are you eavesdropping."

"Oh, I wasn't planning to. It's just that I found your conversation a bit too cute so I decided to let you finish, teehee~"

Before Midori could say anything else, Miyuu handed Saki a package. "Here, a gift to your parents. Tell them that we were glad that you visited us. Also, tell them that you're always welcome here— or so that's what mum and dad told me to relay."

"Thank you, I'll tell them." Saki lit up as she accepted the gift. This time, it was she who grabbed Midori by the hand, saying her farewell as the two of them headed to the train station.

"Oh! And consider that dowry from Midori. Just open it up when you get home!" Miyuu called out, which was the ultimate below-the-belt blow.

It was still early evening, and the city streets were nowhere near deserted. In fact, it was somewhat crowded, with most of the people taking their early evening stroll to unwind for the day.

As such, Miyuu's call was heard by everyone, and all of them looked at Midori and Saki as if they were newlyweds. Some of them were chuckling, while some of them respectfully greeted Midori and Saki as they passed by.

"Mou~ nee-san~" Midori muttered to himself as an old couple in the neighborhood nodded their heads at them. They were smiling from ear to ear as if they were watching their grandchildren playing in the park.

It was the worst walk of shame the two of them could ever experience. Then again, it was nothing compared to the enjoyment they had for the whole day. In a couple of minutes, the two of them started laughing at the joke, and it made the trip to the train station less awkward than expected.

...

Meanwhile,

Silk Girl was relishing a brief respite during what was supposed to be a routine day at the agency. Since it was early in the evening, she was hoping that there won't be any incidents near the shinkansen. After all, if there were any, then she'd have to move the superheroes in her agency.

Knock. Knock.

"Come in."

Mumble. Mumble.

"What another hundred orders came up? But I thought we weren't releasing another one?" Silk Girl calmly asked. She wanted to show how irritated she was, but there was nothing she could do about it. Then again, it was probably her fault that this was happening to her.

In the past, since she was short on money, she decided to put up her own clothing brand, and she made everything, from shirts, to shoes. She was barely making any money, but it was enough to support herself in the city considered to be the heart of Japan.

It was thanks to her hard work and dedication that she was able to become a successful superhero. By a stroke of goodluck, she received a scholarship in United Superheroes Academy, and soon after that, she had the opportunity to work under the top superhero in Japan. This was where she learned the ropes, and it boosted her career even further.

Her resilience, as well as her artistic image of using her silk became a sensation, and she was regarded as one of the most iconic superheroes to ever exist. With her career on the rise, she decided to close her clothing brand for good. After all, it had never been popular to begin with, and she was bound to get busier with her successful line of work. 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶

It was more than a decade ago when she had a fateful encounter. It was the son born to the top one and two superheroes of Japan. She was there when he was born and she was there on his first year. And since then, she had watched over that child as a self-proclaimed aunt.

Later on, she realized that the Midoriyama Duo's son was actually powerless, but she didn't fail to support him from the sidelines. She didn't fail to ask the Midoriyama Duo if her 'nephew' needed something and she never failed to give it to him whenever they tell her what it was.

That's why, when Tatsuki contacted her a couple of months ago, asking her for a pair of shoes, she didn't think twice about making it. After indirectly giving it to Satoshi, she presumably released the model a couple of days later. That was just an act of publicity though since she only released one pair of that model.

The reason why she did that was so Satoshi won't be suspicious of her helping him out whenever she could.

However, because of that stunt, Silk Girl now had to reject orders from notable people since she didn't want to make another pair of shoes, nor did she want to revive her clothing brand.

BAM!

"LEADER! LEADER!" A superhero screamed as soon as he forced open the door to Silk Girl's office and interrupted Silk Girl's line of thought.

"What is it?" Silk Girl asked. She was clearly pissed.

"It's the shinkansen! It had been derailed!" The superhero promptly answered.

Oh no, Saki o_o
