Chapter 27 - Meeting a Regular Person

During a walk at the city, Hanabria Aoi is seen walking through the city as she needed a breather after what happened a few days ago as she headed to the cafe to ease her mind and enjoy a milk tea. She checked her phone to distract herself as she saw what her friends had posted, she chuckled at a few of them before she left the cafe. 

While continuing her walk, she dropped something and kneeled down to pick it up. But when she reached her hand, there was another hand reaching towards the object Aoi dropped, picking it up and giving it to her. Aoi looked at the woman's face, seeing the calm expression, along with the feeling as if the wind was around her as some of her long white strands of hair were flowing.

Then the white haired woman spoke to her "you must be careful, such recklessness may cause definite loss of an item."

Aoi was a bit shocked to hear that each word she spoke was calm yet calculated as if those were the words the white haired woman was ready to say. She blinked a couple of times as she looked at the object she was handed back to by the haired lady. "Um… thank you?"

"My thanks, but I must apologize that I have not started with introducing myself" the white haired lady cleared her throat "I am Whirl Azumaki, it is a pleasure to meet you"

Aoi raised an eyebrow "okay, Whirl, then my name is Hanabria Aoi"

"It's a pleasure to meet you too Aoi, I am surprised to meet one of the hero course students"

"How do you know I'm part of the hero course?"

"It is not obvious as many who had seen the footage of the sports festival wouldn't think to observe each contestant of the second game"

"She knows more than I thought" she thought to herself. "But Whirl what are you doing here" 

"It is not obvious, I was going to grab a snack from the cafe, though my real goal was to know more about the cities in Japan, I just recently came from Europe" 

"Wait, you just came here… then you came to me for help?" Whirl nodded "alright, I am happy to show anyone who needs my help in Japan" 

"I appreciate your offer of help"

A moment of silence took over Aoi, though it was only for a moment as Aoi began to bring Whirl around the best parts of the town. Though it was only the spots Aoi loved to go to such as stores and restaurants, but then in the restaurant the sight of the food made Whirl fascinated by the food as Aoi noticed the amount of food she was eating.

"Woah, Whirl, if I put you against Cainza then you both probably eat the entire restaurant" she chuckled.

"Is eating too much considered a bad thing?"

"No, wait, well probably. Just don't eat too much I don't want to waste your's or my money just on food" 

"I understand, I will limit for what I consume"

Aoi raised an eyebrow "you don't have to analyze everything?"

"Your question is true, but ever since coming to Japan it is a given that I learn more about this place. I already learn its language, the city, but not the inhabitants" Whirl looked at Aoi "and slowly I am learning that too" 

Aoi chuckled "you may be strange, but you are a good kind of strange. Okay after your done eating, you want to walk around more" 

Whirl nodded "that would be helpful"

Later outside the restaurant Aoi and Whirl walked around some more as Aoi started to enjoy showing Whirl around the city. But then they see some heroes doing their patrols, along with some of Aoi's classmates who were offered their internships by pro heroes. Aoi noticed Whirl was observing the heroes who were patrolling "hey, Whirl are you okay?"

Her words got her attention as she looked at Aoi "I am fine Aoi, I was just looking at the heroes"

Aoi nodded as she understands "I got it, are you planning to be a hero too"

Whirl raised an eyebrow "do clarify your question?

"Well what i meant to say that did you ever thought about becoming a hero like those guys"

"You are implying that you are familiar with the term"

Aoi nodded and pointed to herself "that's because I'm a hero in training at UA, specifically a hero course student" 

Whirl nodded "I understand, you are soon to be a hero like those"

"That's right, and we just saw some of my classmates there too"

"Are they also heroes in training" Aod nodded "I see, then shall we observe"

Aoi took a moment to think "I don't know if the others would want to be interrupted in their internship. I don't want ruin their chances to complete their work with other pro heroes"

"I understand, then shall we observe more of the buildings, there could be more you haven't shown me yet."

Aoi beamed with a bright smile as she was willing to show her more around the city. They continue to walk around the city throughout the entire day as they see more of the food in stalls, as Whirl seemed to enjoy Aoi's blissful company. But then when someone tried to steal something from Aoi, Whirl without even looking kicked the robber at their stomach falling to the ground. Aoi was obvious to what happened as she continued to chat and walk with her around the city as it started to become nighttime. 

Aoi noticed that it was being late and apologized to Whirl as she wanted to continue her talk with her. Whirl nodded "then perhaps we shall meet again"

Aoi smiled "alright then we shall meet again somewhere else this time?"

"That will do wonderfully" Aoi waved at Whirl as she headed back for her home, as Whirl walked away as she completed her first test to her final training. Blend in with society and understand the people this place inhabits. While from a far her creator or her father is watching, noting that she is ready to start her mission.
