***********************************************************************

The 3 days of rest have finally passed and Akira is already in perfect condition, yesterday he could walk and today he can use his quirk again without any difficulty. So the 2 gathered their belongings, which were just a couple of clothes, and packed them in their backpacks.

Akira yesterday found a small scalpel which he also decided to take with him since it could serve as a weapon in an emergency, because, although its claws are sharp, they are oriented to stab, but not cut so the scalpel could be useful help.

Himiko after seeing the scalpel fell in love with it and begged Akira to let her take it, Akira remembering that in the series Himiko is a user of razors and knives, he thought it would be a good idea to leave it to her.

"Aki, how do I look? Do I look threatening?" Himiko spoke to him while she made different poses with the scalpel.

"Hahhh, Himiko don't play with him, but yeah, you look threateningly cute hahahahaha"

"Hmph, Aki baka, I don't want to look cute" even though she said that, he could see how embarrassed and happy she was with his words just by looking at how blushing and smiling she was.

'Although I must say that she has a talent for knives, from the moment grabbed it she has moved it like an expert, plus she does not look uncomfortable when moving it, I guess being good with knives is part of the Yandere combo.

After all, self-respecting Yandere knows how to handle a knife and stab like a pro. I just hope she doesn't use it on me'.

Feeling a chill run through his body, Akira imagined what it would be like for Himiko to stab him with the scalpel.

Finishing putting away their things and changed into a set of normal clothes. Akira was wearing a black shirt with black jeans and his white tennis shoes, Himiko wanting her clothes to match, the only black dress she had. (image here)

Akira, upon seeing her, unconsciously said "Pretty" and Himiko upon hearing it smiled happily at her compliment. With a cheerful and optimistic state, they went out to the terrace where they looked towards the city.

Feeling the breeze on their bodies, reminded them that they were finally free, so with a smile on their faces they decided to go down from the building and start gathering information.

As they walked through the streets, they drew some attention because it was rare to see two children without an adult to accompany them, in addition to both being very cute, even more so because they dressed similarly, thus attracting several glances, Akira without worrying much about it decided to keep moving forward, they went through several streets until they stopped in front of a train station.

"Perfect, this may be a good place to steal, but first we are going to look at the map of the station and then we must know if there are many patrols of heroes around here, if so we will go elsewhere, we do not want to be caught".

They went down to the subway and could see that it was packed with people, mostly in business suits and briefcases, thus demonstrating that it was rush hour for wage earners.

Akira noted this time in his mind, in order to know when the station would be full and it would be easy for them to steal their wallets, they walked through the station to a wall where there was a map.

"Well, with this we can locate ourselves a little more, ummm, according to this the HEQ institute should be in the east, so we will head towards the west. Well, Himiko it's time for us to use our senses to listen to all the people, and This way, we get the gossip and information that will help us to know where there are fewer heroes and it will be easier to hunt."

Himiko and Akira spent the next hour listening to all possible conversations, thus listening to talks ranging from how their day went, to how exhausting the work is, some more obscene between couples, and although they were mostly useless, they managed to get valuable knowledge.

For example, that in Gifu prefecture they had been robbing lately, they heard this from several people, with this they concluded that the Heroes did not patrol that sector much and that it could be a good place to start, they also heard from other cities, but these were guarded by heroes better known for what was dangerous.

Instead, Gifu is a prefecture known for its traditional capital, also called Gifu, which is famous for its fine craftsmanship and vibrant history.

With intact traditional villages nestled in picturesque mountains making it a perfect tourist spot to rob foreign tourists, in addition to fulfilling its condition of being away from the institute.

With their chosen destination it was time to head there, but since they had no money, they would have to steal in order to pay for the train ticket, since walking would be far away.

"Himiko, you are good at acting right?"

Nodding Himiko replied "Yes. Why do you ask?"

"Hehehe, for our first robbery we will use it, listen, first you will get into the crowd and after locating a man that you see in a hurry and who is busy you will collide with him, falling to the floor and acting scared, then I will approach and do as if he will attack him, hitting him and shouting not to harass you and to leave you alone, this will obviously attract people's attention and make him nervous and confused, taking advantage of this I will take out his wallet and then we will leave, do you understand?"

"Hmmm, don't worry I know what to do"

As they planned they managed to see in the crowd a middle-aged man, wearing a somewhat wrinkled suit, along with a poorly knotted tie, thus showing how hurried he was, Himiko nimbly approached him and collided with him, dropping to the floor, Himiko She showed a scared expression and tears began to fall from her eyes as she cried.

"Sniff ... sniff, don't hurt me please ..."

Akira, seeing his performance, was surprised 'Fiuuuu, yes she has talent, now is my time to take action'

Akira ran up to the nervous man and lunged at him, with only minimal force, for if he used his true power he would send the poor man flying.

"STAY AWAY FROM HER, DON'T DARE TO HARASSY HER!" Akira yelled, drawing people's attention, thus making the man who began to stutter more nervous.

"Eh ... d-of ... wh-what are you talking about, I have not done anything" taking advantage of the man's condition and his panic due to the murmurs of the people, he took out his wallet without him noticing and walked away from him, grabbing Himiko's hand, spoke as they ran "Hmph bye old man, don't come near us again."

They quickly disappeared into the crowd and the man could only stare at the whole situation with his mouth open.

But when he noticed the time and that he was late to go to work he decided to forget about them and start running to get to work on time, because of this he would not realize that he does not have his wallet until hours later.

Akira and Himiko went to a secluded place.

"Well done Himiko, you are amazing acting, even knowing it was a lie, I almost came to think that he had done something to you hahahaha"

"Fufufufufu, Thank you Aki, now let's see how much money he had"

Opening the wallet, they managed to see around ten thousand yen (approximately $ 89) along with their document and cards which would not serve them.

"Well, it's not a lot of money, it is enough for us only for tickets, since the ticket from Musutafu to Gifu is worth 4500 yen per person (40 dollars approximately) so we need to steal again until we have enough money to pay for a hotel if we want to. sleep in a bed ".

Akira and Himiko went to the box office and although they looked at them strangely for buying tickets when they were so young, after saying that their father had sent them and showing the identification of the man who stole they agreed to sell him the travel tickets.

They boarded the train and four hours later arrived at Gifu station in Gifu prefecture, getting off the train Akira and Himiko again used their improved hearing to check if the rumors were true.

They heard many things, among them that, if it was true that crimes had increased in this prefecture, due to the existence of a gang that had some control over this city, scaring the Heroes by making them not want to do many patrols in this sector, thus increasing crime.

Akira upon hearing this was not scared but thought it was perfect for them, with fewer heroes around here, it would be easier for them to steal.

Since they had no money for a hotel, Akira told Himiko.

"Since it's a bit late and the worker's rush hour has passed, we will have to wait until tomorrow to start stealing, so for today, we will have to find a place to sleep. Hopefully, we can find another terrace to sleep on."

"Yes, although I don't care if we have to sleep in the streets, after all, if we hug we won't feel cold fufufu" Himiko spoke with an innocent smile. But for Akira it was a direct attack on his heart.

"Hahahaha, we better hurry and find where to spend the night hahahaha" hiding his shame Akira walked to the streets in search of a place to spend the night.

Himiko looking at his back only showed an even bigger smile after seeing him shy.

'Fufufu finally avenged me, that's for you to stop making fun of me hehehe'

After walking for about fifteen minutes without finding a place to stay, they came to a park where they saw a small wooden kiosk, with no other option they approached it. (image here)

When they looked at it closely, they could see that the interior was small, but with enough space for the two of them to lie down, in addition to covering them from the wind and rain if it rained.

"Well, who would say, in the end, if we go to sleep on the street hahahaha"

"Yes. This time we were not so lucky, hehehe, but with this, we will sleep hugging hehehehe"

They entered the kiosk and after cleaning the floor a little, they placed the uniform of the institution on it, to sit down and make themselves comfortable to sleep.

"It is not the most comfortable, but for one night we can hold on"

nodding Himiko snuggled up, hugging Akira placing her head on his chest.

"rest Aki".

"You too Himiko, dream nice" stroking her head Akira also closed his eyes to sleep but staying alert with his senses activated in case of an emergency to react.
