As Izuku and Shadow observed the newcomer, they hid behind the leg of the former's father in the mixture of shyness and anxiousness, fearing that she was going to act like the rude imp mother. Izuku looked at his father with lowered ears and in despair, not knowing what he was going to do. To his surprise, Alastor happily approached the person, recognising her immediately at sight.
"My dear Niffty!" the Radio Demon greeted his female friend/servant with his joyfulness as he got to her and Izuku tried to keep up with him, "How have you been? What brought you into this gorgeous park?" he queried with interest.
"Hi, Alastor! I was just shopping in the city and as I was doing that, I picked up a snack for you!" Niffty explained, handing over the bag in her left hand to Alastor, "I've called you about it, but you didn't answer the phone! So I thought it would be a great surprise for you!" she said with a sweet and innocent smile on her face.
"Thank you, darling!" Alastor thanked, then took the bag from Niffty with his right hand. After that, he grabbed the bag with both of his hands and looked into it to see its contents. Thanks to his father's height, Izuku couldn't see what the bag contained, he was only to see the bottom of the bag. But truth be told, he was lucky he didn't witness what was inside it. Because if he had done that, he would have been terrified at the bare minimum. The bag had normal food in it that a demon would consume, a few drinks, and a freshly cut-off tongue of a demon with a strange yellow saliva on it. Most of the humans and demons would have freaked out by seeing this. But not Alastor. The cannibal father even widened his smile in his delightfulness by looking at his surprise snack, then looked at his friend, "Oh, my dear Niffty, you're always so thoughtful." he remarked with utter joy.
"You're welcome!" Niffty replied, with her answer followed by her innocent giggle. Then, she heard something moving behind Alastor. She tilted her head and noticed Izuku hiding behind Alastor. When she looked at our young hero, he retreated his head back behind the leg of his father in shy, not wanting her to notice him. But unfortunately for him, that was not the case. When Niffty looked at Izuku, she almost immediately recognised who he was. She would always recognise that small baby boy she saw on Alastor's special radio almost four years ago. But just to ensure the stability of her theory, she looked at Alastor and opened her mouth to speak. But just as she wanted to do that, the Radio Demon interrupted her.
"Oh, how rude of me! I've almost forgotten to introduce you to someone special, my dear!" Alastor declared cheerfully as he lowered his arms with the left one holding the bag, then turned his head to the left and looked down at his little boy who was hiding behind him with his own shadowy friend, "Come now, don't be shy." Alastor advised his son. Izuku, with slow and cautious steps, not caring about the bag anymore, left his hideout with Shadow following him behind his back. When he fully got out and showed off his appearance, Niffty was one hundred percent sure that he was indeed the baby boy she saw all those years ago, he was Izuku Midoriya. After revealing himself, Izuku walked next to his father, who looked back at Niffty with his iconic smile, "My dear Niffty, I would like to introduce you to my sweet little boy, Izuku Midoriya!" Alastor announced, then turned his head to see his son, "Say hi to Niffty, my boy!" he requested.
Izuku lifted his head a little bit and moved his eyes to take a look at the tiny cyclops demon in front of him.
"H-Hi." he said in a low tone, introducing himself to Niffty.
Seeing Alastor's son in the flesh for the first time, Niffty gasped loudly and ran to our broccoli head and to his shadow with a speed they didn't believe she was capable of.
"I can't believe it! I can finally meet you! I've waited so long for this!" she cooed excitedly while jumping up and down in her excitement, then stopped to take a closer look at his appearance, "You look just like your father! You're so cute!" she noted, referring to his deer ears and antlers as she grabbed Izuku's cheeks with both of her tiny black hands and moved it to different sides. When she moved his head downwards to see his antlers and flattened ears more closely, he discovered something really disastrous, at least for her. She noticed the tiny pieces of sand stuck into his hair. Although it was just a small amount, she couldn't stand leaving it like that, "Oh my goodness, look at your hair! It's full of sand! And it's so messy!" she pointed out disconcertedly, placing Izuku's head to the position where he could face her, "We have to fix! Come on!" she declared, then took Izuku's right hand with her left hand and fastly ran to a nearby bench with him while Shadow tried to keep up with them and Alastor followed them with casual steps.
Shortly after, they had reached the bench, and when they did, Niffty stopped in front of it, let Izuku's hand, and looked at him.
"Sit on it, please." Niffty requested Izuku kindly, pointing at the bench. Izuku, after getting the request, began to climb up on it. When he was finished, he sat down on it nervously and faced the other three in the process. After that, Niffty quickly climbed up as well, walked to our hero, and placed herself behind his back. As she performed this, she took a dark red wooden hairbrush with a lighter red pentagram in the middle of it out of her right pocket with her right hand. How she got it? No one knew. When she got it out, she lifted it above Izuku's head, preparing herself to brush it, "Now, hold still." she suggested, lowering her right hand with the hairbrush in it, getting closer and closer to Izuku's hair.
Izuku closed his eyes in fear, readying himself for what was going to come. But when he felt that the object touch his head, he was pleasantly surprised, making him jolt up his ears. Niffty didn't hurt him with the hairbrush, instead, she began to clean and adjust his hair gently with the hairbrush. He looked up at his father's tiny friend with surprise, who, when he observed her, presented him with a sweet grin on her face.
"What?" Niffty quizzed, then realized why Izuku was looking at her like that and chuckled at it, "You thought I was going to hurt you? Don't be silly, sweety, I would never do that!" she assured, smiling at him, "Now, please turn your head forward so I can continue my work!" she requested. This remark calmed down Izuku and he complied with the request, turning his head to a position where he could face Alastor and Shadow, and allowing Niffty to continue to brush his hair.
This was the perfect opportunity for Alastor to finally ask that little certain requests of his from his little boy to do. The requests that could prove his two theories regarding something special about him. The requests that were mainly because of one simple thing that both of them possessed, although Izuku's was not as strong as Alastor's. The requests that were inside Alastor's mind for one very single reason: To test the true capabilities of his little boy's powers.
So, with a plan inside his head, he looked at his son with interest and moved his mouth in order to open and allow him to speak.
"My dear sweet boy, if you allow me, may I ask you a question?" Alastor wondered.
"Yes, daddy!" Izuku replied joyfully, while Niffty continued to his hair and found it adorable how he called Alastor.
"I've witnessed that when we were at the playground, you showed off your abilities to your little friend of yours. May I see it as well?" Alastor queried.
"Of course!" Izuku replied happily, then proceeded to snap with his fingers on his right hand, just like how he did when he showed his Quirk to Mellow as Shadow floated to his right side. He flicked with his right hand unsuccessfully three times, until finally, on the fourth attempt, he accomplished it with flying colors. As he snapped with his right thumb and right middle finger, the same massive tentacle appeared from the fiery portal on the ground route of the park between Alastor and Izuku. Izuku looked at the tentacle with a huge smile while Niffty's face was accompanied by a surprised expression as she stopped in her half-completed job, all the while Alastor's face didn't change one bit. Here came one of two moments the Radio Demon was mostly curious for. As he observed the pitch-black tentacle, he moved his attention to his own little boy once again.
"My dear little boy, now may I ask you one very single thing?" Alastor wondered, then got to the main point, "Would you be so kind to summon all of them?" Al requested.
"B-But, the d-doctor said that I c-can't control t-that many!" Izuku pointed out worryingly.
"I understand that, but do not fear, my boy! I assure you nothing bad will occur!" the Radio Demon reassured his son.
"O-Okay." Izuku answered insecurely. After his reply, he looked at his right hand nervously, not so sure to do what his father asked him for. But if his father told him nothing bad will happen, he should do it, right? With this thought in his mind, he slowly moved his fingers and snapped with them once again, now successfully for the first try. At the moment he did this, five other tentacles showed off around Izuku from five separate fiery portals. All six of them surrounded the bench from the front, forming the half of a circle in the process. Izuku was amazed by seeing these enormous tentacles surrounding him. And to his surprise, they didn't wreak havoc and chaos as he expected.
After he summoned them, he looked at the tentacles on his right side, cautiously turned his right hand in the direction of the tentacles, and concentrated his mind on three tentacles out of the six in order to control them. Not long after, the same green aura from before covered his right hand, and it quickly spread to the three tentacles he focused on. The green light quickly vanished, just like it did when Izuku got control over the one tentacle he showed to Mellow. He moved his hand a little bit, making the three tentacles change positions at his command. To his shock, it wasn't hard to direct these tentacles at all. It was as easy as dictating a singular tentacle.
In his amazement, he turned his head to the left and raised his left hand, attempting to control the other three tentacles just like he did with the previous three. He accomplished that task as well, making the tentacles glow in green color and causing the aura to disappear. He moved his left wrist back and forth to see if those moved at his will, which was exactly what the tentacles did, mimicking the moves of Izuku's hand. For the last experiment, he moved both his hands simultaneously to test if the tentacles followed his movement. To his surprise, they did. They followed every single move of his hands. Both he and Shadow witnessed in wonderment as this happened, with the former adopting one of the biggest smiles of his current on his face, while Niffty was almost done with the brush of Izuku's hair.
As they observed this event occur, with the flick of his own right hand, Alastor poofed a tiny sheet of paper into his right hand with five red, strange symbols on it and writings under them. He placed his vision on his little boy who was filled with happiness and extended his right hand with the paper in it towards his son.
"Now, my boy, would you take this little paper and read it out what it says?" Alastor wondered, handing over the paper to Izuku.
"Sure!" our protagonist replied excitedly as he took the piece of paper out of his father's hand and all of the tentacles retreated back to their portals. But as he and Shadow looked at the paper and what was on it, they became really confused when they saw the symbols and the writings on it. Unbeknownst to them, they were looking at Voodoo symbols and their meanings. Despite the confusion, Izuku opened his mouth and began to list what the writings said, "Loko, Kalfou, Papa Legba, Santa Muerte, Ogoun." he read out confusedly.
Just as he said these words, something happened that he never thought of. When he read those symbols, fire erupted from his palms, lighting up the small paper on fire and incinerating it to ashes and forming a ball of fire above his palms. Both Izuku and Shadow witnessed this in shock while Niffty stopped her nearly finished work and observed the fire with an excited smile, which was quite understandable from a former pyromaniac. But soon that shock Izuku possessed turned into astonishment and excitement as he broad smile formed on our little broccoli head's face and looked at his father.
"Look, daddy! I can make fire!" he beamed excitedly, then went back to examine his ball of fire and decided to play with it a little bit as his father continued to watch his doing.
Now these two successful experiments showed Alastor that his theories were true and the doctor didn't know anything about Izuku's true power. Aside from the royal family and the Seven Deadly Sins, the dark energies of Hell are the crucial factors that allow the Overlords and other strong demonic entities to use their powers at their maximum. And since this only works on the sinner citizens of Hell, no human could exploit this power source. But Izuku was different. Thanks to his demonic side, Izuku was capable of accessing the power of this special energy source, thus allowing him to use his Quirk without any boundaries, as it was seen when he controlled all of the six tentacles at once.
Not only that, it appeared that his little boy even inherited the basics of his Voodoo magic as well and he could use this magic without any difficulties in Hell, just like when he did with the tentacles. And that opened up countless possibilities. He could teach any kind of Voodoo magic to his son, useful for both good and evil, with the latter being the one that Alastor preferred more. Not only that, with this, Izuku could be able to unlock more of his abilities. Pyrokinesis, phytokinesis, portal creation between Hell and the Earth, outfit alteration, manifestation, etc. Of course, on Earth, it would be a lot harder to learn and use the abilities, but with a lot of practice and with his help, his little boy could become a true Overlord, maybe stronger than him. But that had to wait. The main focus now was that he had to spend some quality time with Izuku.
Speaking of which, Izuku was still playing with the ball of fire, bouncing it up and down, causing Alastor to look at him with his own wide smile.
"Have you played enough with the fire, my boy?" Alastor asked, making Izuku set his eyes upon him.
"Yes, daddy!" Izuku responded, then levitated the fireball into his hand and closed his wrist, making the ball of fire vanish in his hand.
"Then let us go to the ice cream shop!" Alastor declared. After his declaration, Izuku was about to get off of the bench, but he was quickly stopped by his father, "But before that, let my dear Niffty finish what she started!" the Radio Demon pointed out, making Izuku stay in place.
"And I'm done!" Niffty announced, raising the hairbrush out of Izuku's hair and putting it back into her right pocket. Then, out of her left pocket, she took out a fancy dark red hand mirror with a small yellow eye on the top and handed it over to Izuku, who grabbed the mirror and looked into the mirror to see his hair. To his surprise, his hairstyle had changed. Instead of the usual look of his hair, the style of his hair was now similar to his father's hair, without Alastor's undercut at the back. He observed his new hair in wonderment as Niffty tilted her head to Izuku's left side and looked at him, "Do you like it?" she inquired, smiling innocently.
"It's so awesome! Thank you, aunty!" Izuku remercied happily.
"You're welcome!" she answered while smiling at him gently, although Izuku calling her his aunt caught both her and Alastor off guard. After her reply, Izuku got off of the bench and started to shooted ahead, getting a little bit of distance between him, his father, and his newly founded aunt all the while Shadow tried to keep up with his master.
"Come on, daddy, come on, aunty! Let's go to the ice cream shop!" he exclaimed as he ran in the direction of the exit of the park, which he didn't know where it was.
"Wait for us, my boy!" the Radio Demon shouted to his son who seemed like he didn't hear it. Then, Alastor turned his head and set his eyes upon the little female cockroach demon next to him on the bench, "Care to join us on our journey, my dear Niffty?" Al inquired.
"Of course!" she responded cheerfully.
"Splendid!" he amused joyfully, "Well then, let us follow my little boy before he gets lost." Alastor advised with Niffty agreeing in silence. With this, Niffty got off of the bench quickly and ran after Izuku with her tiny legs as fast as she could, trying to get to him in order to keep him safe and provide him with her company as long as Alastor went after them with ordinary steps. After several minutes, he got to the exit of the park, where Niffty, Shadow, and Izuku were waiting for him, with his little boy stopped and was calmed down by Niffty, however, he was still excited after the whole fire and tentacle thing.
And thus, with all four of them in the group, with Izuku and Shadow between Alastor and Niffty, they stepped through the gate of the park and continued their way towards the nearby ice cream shop. Throughout their journey, they didn't cross ways with lots of sinners and demons thanks to Alastor's presence, with the exception of a demon who was playing on a saxophone, whom Alastor even gave a coin as a payment for the good music he played. They also witnessed the rampage of a certain huge airship in the sky, shooting projectiles all over the west side of the city. This made Izuku scared but his father assured him that it won't come near to their location.
They continued their way to a point where the ice cream shop was even visible at the corner of the street. They were about to go straight towards it, when our protagonist, his shadowy friend, and his father noticed that the fourth member of their squad was missing. They moved their bodies and turned around to see where did Niffty go, which to they instantly got their answer as they looked in the direction of her position. When they looked at her, Niffty was standing between two other demons with one looking like a red humanoid lizard and the other seeming to have a floating light green head with his hair flowing like water. At that moment, Niffty was looking at some TVs with different kinds of advertisements in the TV monitors with a curious look.
Alastor was the first one to speak.
"My darling Niffty, may I ask what are you doing?" Alastor wondered as he, Izuku, and Shadow approached her.
"Sorry Alastor, I just wanted to check some ads to see if they showed anything interesting!" Niffty explained as the trio got to her position. When they looked at the TV screens, Izuku was a little bit confused by what he saw. He was not confused due to the wall fully covered with lots of TVs, he was baffled by the one who was advertising the products, with one being some kind of cereal called Voot Floop and another one looking like some kind of speaker named Valkyrie. He looked like a man with a flat-screen TV for a head. He had two eyes with red scleras and light blue pupils with the outline and the wrinkles of his left eye being cyan. As it seemed to Izuku, his mouth was full of sharp teeth that glowed light blue. His skin was dark grey with his fingers possessing a light blue color from the second knuckle.
He was wearing a black top hat with red and blue designs reminiscent of a broadcast symbol and a radio wave symbol, respectively. He also possessed a TV antennae that stuck out at the top of his hat with the right one bent into a zigzag. The rest of his attire was made out of a dark blue tuxedo with lighter stripes and a black and red striped shirt. He also had a red bow tie and a light blue undershirt with an upside-down broadcast symbol.
Although Izuku didn't know this, but this was his first encounter with Vox, the one who was showing off these 'cool' products, the one who was the Overlord of television, the one who was one of the three Vs, and the one who was his father's old-time rival.
As all four of them stared at the TV screens, with Izuku and Shadow raising their left eyebrows, tilting their heads to the right and lowering their right ears in confusion, Alastor let out a sigh and looked at his nemesis with a big, disappointed smile on his face.
"Really nothing good on these days, hm?" Alastor questioned as he witnessed his big rival advertise his disgusting products to the brainwashed consumers of his small-screen entertainment program enjoyers. As he made his presence known, the two unknown demons looked at him in fear and flee from the place, making Izuku and Shadow even more confused as they watched them run away. However, they didn't know that the next phenomena they were about to witness will terrify them to their very core, especially Izuku.
As they looked at the two demons leave their location in a hurry, they suddenly heard some strange interference sound from the direction of the TVs, causing them to turn their heads to look at the TVs. But when they looked at the TVs, something was clearly not alright. There was nothing on the TV screens aside from Vox who was looking at them from every screen. As they continued to watch it happen, the screens began to change. The number of the pictures of Vox on the screens started to decline, however, at the same time, Vox's stature began to rise bigger and bigger, until all of the TV screens were occupied by a huge Vox, staring directly at them and looming over them with a toothy, evil grin on his face and chuckling with a robotic voice.
As Izuku and Shadow flattened their ears in fear and hid behind the leg of Alastor, both Niffty and Alastor raised their eyebrows in confusion, with the latter still smiling.
"Show off. All hat and no cattle!" the Radio Demon remarked, then turned his head and looked behind to see his son, "Come, my boy, leave this nobody alone." he requested from his horrified son as set off from the TV display of a window-fronted store, with Izuku following him and trying to hide from Vox, which was not accomplishable. As Vox looked at Izuku through the TV monitors, his smile disappeared in a millisecond and his red eyes widened in shock by seeing a human kid, who had the same type of ears tail as Alastor, standing next to the Radio Demon without showing any kind of fear towards Alastor. He followed the move of the group with his eyes until they got away from the window of the store, thus getting out of his sight.
After this little drawback, Izuku slowly calmed down and went back to his joyful himself while Niffty, Shadow, and Alastor followed him from behind, with the latter trying not to let out his frustration by ranting about how much of a jackass Vox was. And thus, after like four minutes of walking, they finally reached the ice cream shop. It was not a very crowded area from the outside, but there were still some demons who were walking around the area. As they crossed the road and got to the shop, Alastor grabbed the door handle of the two-doored entrance of the shop, pushed it downwards, and opened the door outwards, allowing Izuku and Shadow to enter the shop.
The inside of the ice cream shop was rather ordinary, with some tables and chairs in the store, with some of the chairs occupied by imps and a few sinners. Izuku ran to the counter and with wide eyes and a big smile on his face, he observed the vast selection of ice cream flavours, not knowing which one to choose. As he looked at the different types of ice creams, Shadow, Alastor, and Niffty got next to our protagonist, while all of the visitors and employees of the shop looked at the Radio Demon with fright and worry. When they got to him, Alastor looked at our sweet broccoli head and opened his toothy mouth to speak up.
"So, my boy, what type of sweet icy delicacy do you desire?" Alastor inquired from his little boy.
After a little bit of thinking, with an excited face, Izuku looked at his father with his answer ready to be told, "I want chocolate!"
"One ball of chocolate ice cream, young man!" the Radio Demon ordered to the worker behind the counter.
"Y-Yes, sir!" the worker replied with a trembling voice, then he gave Izuku an ice cream cone and grabbed the ice cream spoon with his right hand and scooped a ball of ice cream with it and put it on Izuku's ice cream cone.
"Thank you!" Izuku beamed, then started to lick the icy sweetness with his tongue. After observing his son eating his own ice cream, Alastor turned his head back to the worker behind the counter and focused his attention on him.
"And what kind of ice cream do you want, my dear Niffty?" Alastor wondered, turning his head towards his female cyclops friend.
"I choose vanilla!" Niffty announced excitedly.
"Then I would prefer a scoop of Red Meaty Strawberry." he asked the worker. As Izuku heard this, he thought that the ice cream his father wished for was just a special strawberry ice cream, but he was too busy with his own ice cream to ask it. Truth be told, he was far from the truth. Red Meaty Strawberry was indeed a strawberry ice cream, but it had a slight difference from the regular one. Only the flavour was just strawberry, the whole ice cream was made out of the flesh and the organs of dead demons. So to put it short, it was an ice cream for cannibals, like Alastor. And although Alastor was not a fan of ice cream, but when he was in the mood, he always chose this type of ice cream.
"I-I'm s-sorry sir, b-but we r-ran o-out of R-Red Meaty S-Strawberry and v-v-vanilla." the worker explained.
"Really? Oh well, what a shame." Alastor said.
"B-But I c-can c-check if w-we had a-any R-Red Meaty S-Strawberry a-and v-vanilla in t-the s-storage!" the worker pointed out, then jolted out of the room, possibly towards the storage of the shop.
"It appears that this will take much longer than I expected." Alastor noted with a tired sigh, then turned his head towards his little boy who was enjoying his own ice cream, "My dear sweet boy, would you wait outside for us? I won't take too long!" he advised to his happy son.
"Okay, daddy!" Izuku answered, then, with his ice cream in his hands and Shadow behind his back, he rushed towards the exit of the shop and ran through it, exiting the shop. He didn't even need to open it, thanks to another demon entering the ice cream shop at that moment. She was a female demon with a slender body, pale white skin, sharp white teeth, eyes with only black scleras, and a very long neck. She acquired short white hair and similar to the Radio Demon, she was smiling.
She was wearing a red dress with gray shoulder pads, a black belt, and black wrists. She had a red sun hat with two skulls and three black flowers on the front side, with a large red and black plume on the top side.
The demon woman stepped to the side in surprise as Izuku ran out of the shop and past her, making her smile disappear for a split second thanks to the unexpected phenomena.
"Huh, not a very usual event to witness." the demon remarked as she watched Izuku stop near the shop and continue the consumption of his ice cream. But suddenly, her surprise became even huger when a certain former radio host accosted her.
"Rosie, my dear!" Alastor exclaimed in joyfulness as he and Niffty approached her.
"Alastor?" Rosie quizzed in confusion.
"That's my name, don't wear it out!" he laughed, with his imaginary crowd following him with their own laughter and Rosie giggling at him.
"Hi, Rosie!" Niffty greeted.
"Hello, my darling Niffty." Rosie returned her greeting fondly.
"Sorry for my silliness, darling! I'm just in the mood!" he apologised, cutting off his laughter, "May I ask what are you doing here, my dear friend?" the Radio Demon inquired.
"I was carving for a little Red Meaty Strawberry, so I've decided to visit this place." Rosie explained, then continued, "I was about to open the door and step in when a small sinner ran past me and almost hit me! I'm starting to think that there are no more manners." she declared, letting out a tired sigh.
"Oh, that was no sinner at all, my dear Rosie! It was my sweet little boy, Izuku!" he corrected, causing the leader of Cannibal Colony to widen her eyes.
Rosie blinked in shock and surprise by hearing this from her old friend, causing her to say only two words, "...Your what?"
Meanwhile, our protagonist went on licking his chocolate peacefully and cheerfully, like every child would do if they had ice cream in their hands, while his shadowy companion observed his act. It was like a tranquility that no one thought it could be disturbed. However, this was never the case. Why, would you ask? Because Izuku and Shadow were not alone. From a dark alleyway behind their backs, a demon glanced at them from the dark. When he saw Izuku, a sinful idea had been born in his mind and formed a devilish smile on his face.
He quietly approached the kid in front of him, not wanting to reveal his presence. When he was close enough, he stepped out of the alley, showing off the looks of his body. When he was close to Izuku, he opened his filthy mouth to speak.
"Hey, baby boy~." The demon started, causing Izuku and Shadow to look behind their backs. When they turned around, they saw a tall, beetle-like demon with four arms, blue skin, bright blue eyes, sharp white teeth, and two pair of insect wings. He was wearing a ripped dark blue jacket, a pink tank top, and ripped brown jeans, "Sorry to interrupt you, but I have a really big problem! I want to play a game that needs two people and I can't find a partner. Can you play that game with me? It feels really nice too." the demon explained with a deep voice as the smell of alcohol exited his mouth.
"Of course!" Izuku replied happily, not suspecting anything.
"Good~! Then follow me." the demon suggested, making his way towards the same alley as Izuku and Shadow followed, with the latter a bit confused why this stranger wanted to play with his master.
Izuku was pretty confident at first, but as they slowly got to the entrance of the alley, he became more and more unsure about this whole play thing. When the sinner entered the darkness of the alley, Izuku and Shadow stopped at the edge of the dark alley, not moving even an inch and making the beetle-like sinner look back at the boy with confusion and a little bit of frustration.
"What's up, you're afraid of the dark or what?" the demon questioned.
"N-No, but..." Izuku began with flattened ears, but he was cut short by the demon.
"Then don't be a fuckin' baby and come in!" the demon ordered, with his voice filled with more frustration and anger, intimidating Izuku and making Shadow fly in front of his master for the case if he had to defend him.
"I-I think I-I'm g-going to g-go b-back to my d-daddy." Izuku responded, stepping a few backwards in the process.
"You won't go fuckin' anywhere!" the demon shouted, then stretched out one of his arms towards our protagonist, but his hand was stopped by Shadow who was in his protective mode, the same mode he was in when he thought the doctor wanted to hurt Izuku, clawed his hand with his pitch-black talons. The demon pulled back his arm in pain, causing him to give a chance to Izuku to run away. Izuku turned and ran as fast as he could, but his plan of fleeing was unsuccessful thanks to the demon extending all of his arms in the direction of Izuku, thus grabbing him with his blue-colored hands.
"Let me go!" Izuku demanded as he dropped his ice cream and got more and more desperate and frightened, while Shadow tried to free him, but to no avail.
"I didn't have a goddamn good time since I came to this shithole! Now, I'll have my fun!" the sinner shouted as he loomed over Izuku, whose waterworks began to function in fear, "Don't worry kid, it won't hurt you, much." he advised with an evil grin.
Izuku's tears began to flow like a waterfall in despair and fear during this. What was he going to do? How could he get out of this situation? As a last attempt, he opened his mouth and shouted towards the red sky of the Pride Ring.
"Help! Help! Help me!" he cried out in a desperate attempt.
"No one is coming, kid." the demon pointed out, frightening Izuku with his remark. However, unbeknownst to both of them, his statement was shortly going to be disproved. After three seconds he said this, six giant black tentacles, much larger than Izuku's tentacle, appeared around them from fiery portals. The beetle demon looked up at the tentacles when suddenly, one of them swooped down at his and punched him to the left wall of the alley, making a huge crack on the wall. The demon fell off from the wall and landed on his face hard, injuring himself even more. The tentacles slithered towards the demon and wrapped themselves around the limbs of the sinner and lifted him up into the air, restraining him in place.
"Hey!" the demon shouted angrily as he tried to free himself.
With Shadow at his side and with his teary eyes, Izuku looked at the demon kept in place by tentacles with confusion, not knowing what was going on. But when a familiar voice sounded off behind him, he exactly knew who was the one who summoned the tentacles.
"Out of all the sinners in Hell..." Alastor began, with his right hand raised into the air and enveloped in a red aura, while Niffty and Rosie were standing behind him, with the former holding her vanilla ice cream in her left hand and Alastor's paper bag in the crook of her left arm, and the latter having two Red Meaty Strawberry ice creams in her arms, "Your type is far by the one that disgusts me the most!" Alastor said with anger in his voice.
"DADDY!" Izuku exclaimed as he ran towards his father and melted into tears of relief and fright, with Shadow forming back to his original form and flying after his master.
"My boy!" the Radio Demon exclaimed as he crouched down and extended his left arm in the direction of his son. When Izuku reached him, he hugged him tightly immediately and continued to cry, making Alastor's coat stained by his tears which Alastor didn't care about, "Are you alright?" Alastor asked with a worried tone.
"H-He w-w-wanted t-to h-hurt m-me! I-I w-was s-so s-scared! I-I d-didn't k-know w-w-what t-to d-do! I-I t-thought y-you w-wouldn't c-come!" Izuku confessed as he began to cry even harder and tightened his grip on his father. These words cut deep into Alastor. How could his little boy give even a single thought that he wouldn't come if he was in trouble? Not only that, but how could he, the Radio Demon, let this happen? What kind of father was he? He was not there for his little boy for four years. He let him become bullied and hurt. He would never let that happen again. He had to, no he must, set an example to show the demons of Hell what happens to the ones who lay a finger on his little boy. And this was a perfect chance to present it.
As he thought over this, he observed his crying boy and hugged him with his left arm to comfort him.
"Sh sh, don't worry, my boy. I'm here. No one can hurt you now." he assured as hugged his son closer with his arm.
"Alastor..." Niffty started with a serious tone, drawing out a large knife from her right pocket with her right hand, "Let me handle him."
"No. I'll take care of him." he declared with a serious tone, then looked at his little boy with a caring smile, My boy, could you do a favor for me and wait for me with my dear Niffty and Rosie? I have to speak with this gentleman." Alastor advised, making Izuku look at him with tearful eyes.
"B-But..." Izuku started.
"Do not fear, my boy. It won't take long. And I promise that from now on, I won't take even a single step away from you for the rest of the afternoon, okay?" the Radio Demon assured his boy.
"O-Okay." Izuku sniffed, accepting his father's advice.
"That's my boy." Alastor remarked. With this, Izuku and Al released their hugs, and with still a little bit teary eyes, Izuku walked towards the two female demons, looking at the ground as he did this. When he reached them, with a smile on her face, Rosie gave the ice cream in her right hand to Niffty, who took it with her only free hand and had a concerned expression on her face due to Izuku's condition, bent down, and extended her right for Izuku to grab it.
"Come now, darling. Leave your father alone a little bit." Rosie advised. Izuku looked up to witness who was speaking to him. When he saw her face, he got even more scared due to the unsettling pupilless and irisless eyes of Rosie, which was easily noticed by her, "Don't worry, darling, I don't bite." she reassured with a smile on her face. Izuku hesitated for a bit, then grabbed her right hand with his left hand and with her and Niffty at his sides, Izuku walked away from his father the other demon, while Alastor observed them leave. When they were far enough and got out of the audible range, Alastor focused his attention on the demon held by his tentacles in front of him.
"What is your fuckin' problem, asshole?! I was about to have a good time, but you fuckin' cockblocked me! Who the fuck do you think you are?!" the demon questioned furiously as the tentacles kept him in place.
"Looks like you're new here. Well, allow me to offer some insights." he offered, then slowly began to rise in size, with his antlers growing longer and longer and his claws becoming elongated, "In this world, you're free to do whatever you want. Whatever you desire, whatever is your dream." he continued, as he became larger and larger, "There's only one little rule:" he said as he turned into a form that horrified the demon to his very core, causing him to mess up his pants, "DO NOT TOUCH MY SON!" he finished with a deep voice, revealing his most terrifying form.
His body plan was similar to a wendigo. He had a wide smile that was anatomically impossible, his irises and pupils vanished, and only his sclera remained with them changing their colors to pitch-black. His antlers were elongated and large, just like his claws which were now long talons, capable of cutting through anything. He was much more taller and the middle of his body was as lean as a stick. If a sinner saw the Radio Demon in this appearance, they knew it meant only one thing: He was in his full demon form. And if someone saw this form of his with their eyes, they instantly knew why was like this: He was angry. And everyone knew what was the fate of the ones who made him angry.
The beetle demon tried to escape the grip of the tentacles but to no avail. As he wiggled, the seventh tentacle Alastor summoned wrapped around his mouth, shutting him up for one singular reason: To make his screams unhearable. When this was done, the Radio Demon raised his right hand and struck down with it towards the demon's body, thus beginning the activity he was most skilled in and liked the most besides making deals.
As this was going on, four buildings away from Alastor's location, Izuku, Shadow, Niffty, and Rosie were waiting for him to finish his 'speak' to the demon that almost raped Izuku. In the meantime, the other Overlord and the Radio Demon's small feminine servant decided to cheer the sniffing and still a tiny bit crying young half-demon boy up as much as possible.
Niffty was the first one to break the silence.
"Are you alright, Izuku? Did he hurt you?" she wondered worriedly.
"N-No." Izuku answered down in the dumpster, while Shadow observed his master with a concerned look, judging by the shape of his eyes and his flattened ears, which was the only aspect he shared with Izuku.
"Okay." Niffty said with a tired sigh, then stretched out her left arm, offering her untouched ice cream to him, "Here, take this."
"T-Thank you, aunty." he thanked, then proceeded to lick and the vanilla ice cream with his tongue while a few tears still hung on his cheeks and face.
"You're welcome." Niffty replied with a small smile on her face, starting to enjoy the fact that Izuku addressed her as his aunt. It didn't take much for Rosie either to start a conversation with our little broccoli head when she noticed the tears on his cheeks and the remnants of his chocolate ice cream around his mouth.
"Oh poor darling, you're face is full of tears and melted chocolate! And you wanted to walk around the like this!?" Rosie questioned not in a scolding manner, but in a caring one, "Tut, tut! It is not befitting of a young gentleman like you to look like this. Let me handle it!" she advised, then took a red textile handkerchief out of her right pocket and gently cleaned Izuku's face and mouth with it. After that, she put the handkerchief back into her pocket and looked at the results of her job, "Now, you look far more dashing, darling!"
"T-Thank you, m-ma'am!" Izuku remercied with his voice still a little bit trembling.
"Oh, darling, don't call me like that! Maybe I'm out of my age, but not that much!" she joked, "It's Miss Rosie!" she corrected him kindly.
"O-Okay,. T-Thank you, M-Miss Rosie!" he answered, correcting his mistake.
"Don't mention it, darling! I just did what had to be done!" she replied fondly. This was followed by a short silence, but it was cut right away by Izuku.
"S-So, a-are you o-one of m-my d-daddy's friends t-too?" Izuku inquired from Rosie as he went on licking his ice cream, which was almost eaten fully at this point.
"Yes indeed! We're like birds of a feather flock together! To be precise, I was the one who showed him around this place!" she revealed, surprising Izuku with this fact.
"R-Really?" Izuku questioned.
"Yes, darling. And what days those were. You should have seen him back then." Rosie replied, "I can still call back how confused he was. He lacked some proper manners when I first met him, but I gave him a little guidance and assisted him to get used to those new conditions he faced, and in the end, we became very close friends." she explained with a sweet smile on her face.
"A-And, i-is my d-daddy nice t-to y-you?" he inquired, nearly finishing the vanilla ice cream in his hands.
"Certainly! In fact, he even helps me and the inhabitants of the colony sometimes." she answered.
"S-So, h-he's kind o-of a h-hero?" Izuku wondered shakily.
"Well, not quite, but yes, he indeed helps and protects the ones who he deems worthy." Rosie clarified, knowing that the longer Izuku doesn't know his father's unique 'heroic' judgement, the better for him to sleep peacefully.
"Like me!" Niffty interrupted, causing Izuku and Rosie to look at the one-eyed cockroach demon, "Your father help me too, and now, I try to repay him with anything he wants!" she explained, remembering how she made her own deal with Alastor decades ago.
"A-And, d-do you t-think I-I'm worthy o-of h-his p-protection?" he questioned spiritlessly, observing the almost fully eaten ice cream in his hands.
"Why wouldn't you? You're his son, darling. Just this mere fact puts you as the number one on his list." Rosie pointed out, with Niffty nodding in agreement, "So don't worry, darling. He'll always take care of you." she assured.
This was kinda calming for our protagonist. Of course, his father already told him that he will always protect him, which ensured Izuku as well, but now he heard that his father was eager to help him and the ones who deserve it, he became more relieved. Now, he knew that it's one hundred percent that his father is not the type of person who says something once and never keeps to it. He was really a kind person and he will always be by his side, no matter what was the situation or what was the problem. As he thought over this, he failed to notice the rising of his ears and the small smile that morphed across his face, much to Shadow's, Niffty's, and Rosie's satisfaction.
As this event occurred, a certain deer-based Overlord wearing clean clothes approached them with causal, everyday steps, with his 'conversation' done with the beetle-based sinner. When he reached them, he spoke up with his usual, cheerful tone and with a broad, toothy smile formed on his face.
"Did I miss anything?" Alastor asked with a wide grin, causing all four of them to set their eyes upon them.
"Daddy!" he beamed as he accidentally dropped the ice cream cone with the little bit of ice cream in it, which Niffty cleaned up quickly, and ran towards the Radio Demon for a hug, which Alastor happily accepted.
"Ohohoh, take it easy, my boy! You almost pushed me down!" Al noted jokingly while crouching and hugging his only child.
"S-Sorry!" Izuku apologised.
"Don't be sorry, my boy, it's nothing." Alastor answered, then they looked into each other's faces, "Did you have fun with Rosie and Niffty?"
"Y-Yes, daddy. And M-Miss Rosie told me h-how she and you met first." Izuku responded, making Alastor shoot his eyes wide in surprise by hearing this statement.
"Rosie!" he called out with embarrassment, which was clearly not expected from the feared Radio Demon.
"Oh, come on, Alastor, there's nothing to be ashamed of!" Rosie replied, keeping her big smile, "Besides, I just wanted to cheer your little boy up!"
With this said out loud, Alastor let out a defeated sigh and looked back at one of his best friends, "You won't let suffer peacefully, will you, darling?"
"No." she joked, then both of them shared a chuckle/giggle as Izuku and Shadow turned their heads and exchanged their looks between Rosie and Alastor in confusion, meanwhile Niffty just observed the scene with a small smile. After they finished, Izuku looked back at his son and continued his conversation with him.
"I suppose that was enough adventure for us today. Let's head back to our home, my boy." Alastor suggested.
"O-Okay." Izuku replied, now a bit more higher-spirited. After that, they broke their hug and Alastor stood up from his crouch and faced Rosie with his well-known grin.
"Mind to join, my dear?" Alastor asked Rosie.
"Of course, love." Rosie consented amiably.
"And you, my dear Niffty?" he inquired from his female servant, turning down his head and looking at her with his red eyes.
"I'm coming too!" she declared with a lot of energy.
"Then it's settled. Let us go back to my residence, shall we?" the announced, smiling in the process. And with this, our group set off towards the house of Alastor as the dark red orb with a huge pentagram on its surface became larger and the night slowly approached them. The walk was not that long, just around thirty minutes. When they reached the house of the Radio Demon and got up on the three staircases, Alastor, who was at the front of the group with Izuku and Shadow next to him, fast walked to the door with them, grabbed the handle with his left hand, moved it downwards, and opened it for the two female demons of the group, allowing them to go inside first.
"Ladies first, my dears!" Alastor pronounced, opening the front door of his home wide.
"Thank you, Alastor!" Rosie remercied as she stepped inside and put her large hat on the handler of the coat stand, revealing her hair which was tied in a bun.
"Thanks, Alastor!" Niffty thanked as well, following Rosie in the process. After both of them entered, Alastor turned his head to the left and moved his head downwards, looking at his son and his shadowy friend.
"Remember, my boy. Always let a lady go ahead." he taught his boy.
"O-Okay, daddy." Izuku nodded, understanding his father's lesson.
"Now come, my boy. Let's not make our pleasant guests wait." he suggested, then entered the house, while Izuku and Shadow followed him behind. Once all of them were inside, Alastor closed the door and with Izuku and Shadow, he headed to the dining room, where Rosie and Niffty were already waiting for them. And from then on, the rest of the day went pleasant. As a dinner, Alastor cooked his favourite meal for his son and his guests, which of course, was not other than the only dish that could even raise Hell based on Alastor's opinion, jambalaya. When Izuku grabbed his fork, dug it into the meal, lifted it, moved towards his mouth, placed it inside his mouth, and tasted jambalaya for the first time in his life, it was so delicious that it immediately brought back his joyfulness and instantly became his second favourite dish, much to Alastor's delight.
After their meal, they walked into the living room and Alastor grabbed a disk and placed it on the megaphone, and turned it on, allowing themselves to listen to some vintage and fashionable music, which Izuku and Shadow enjoyed as well. After the music began to play, Alastor offered his right hand to Rosie, who was sitting in one of the armchairs, inviting her for a dance. Rosie happily accepted his offer and took his hand, standing up from her seat and becoming the devils of the parquet with her old friend by dancing various dances like Foxtrot, Rumba, and Samba, all the while the rest of the group observed this event unfold.
As he watched his father dance with Miss Rosie, he got interested in their act and walked to the two Overlords to ask his parent if he could educate him to dance like them. Alastor was so touched by this that he and Rosie showed him the ropes right away. Heck, Izuku even danced with both of them, with Rosie as first and Alastor as second, which was fully recorded by Niffty with her phone for the reason of preserving this memory for the future.
This was the moment Izuku knew it was worth meeting his father. Although there were two major hick ups, it was far behind the so many good things he had experienced. He met his, made a new friend, and found out he had another aunt besides Aunt Mitsuki. Heck, he even discovered new things about his Quirk and learned some really basic dance moves. So overall, this was an absolutely great day for him and one of the best days of his life.
This little dance practice went on for a while, then Alastor and Rosie talked a little bit, then Rosie decided to leave due to her remaining tasks at her colony, which Izuku was graceful for not knowing what kind of colony's leader was Rosie. After that, Alastor advised his little boy to take a bath, which he agreed to do kindly. Accompanied by Niffty and Shadow, Alastor took his little boy up to the first floor and guided him to the bathroom of his house, which was on the left side of the short hallway. There were three other doors in the hallway, two at the right side of the hallway and one at the left side of the hallway next to the door of the bathroom. There was also a single window at the end of the hallway.
They walked to the door and Alastor opened it for his little boy and his shadowy companion, revealing the looks of the room. It was rather small than large, to be precise, but not too small. Its walls were covered with red tiles, while the tiles of the floor resembled chequerboard, but instead of black-and-white patterned tiles, they were light and dark red. It had a pedestal basin beneath a mirror and in front of a toilet, which had a footed vanity at its left side. The vanity possessed two doors at its front side, three red towels piled on each other at the top of it, and a single window above it. The last part of the bathroom was an empty roll-top bath at the end of the room, standing horizontally to the wall next to it, perfect for the purpose it was created for.
As Alastor opened the door, Izuku, Shadow, and Niffty went to the bathtub and Niffty began to flow the water inside the bath put some soap into it, Alastor snapped with his fingers, creating a vertically-striped pyjama top and bottom with dark and light green stripes and teleporting it next to the pile of towel on the vanity. After that, he closed the door, leaving the three of them alone in the room. As the water continued to pour into the bathtub, Izuku shyly asked Niffty and Shadow to close their eyes as long as he undresses. The cockroach demon and his shadowy friend did what they had been asked for, and they covered their eyes or shut their eyes, Izuku began to take off his clothes.
After he took them off, he stepped up to the black step stool and carefully climbed into the bathtub almost full of water. When the sound of the splashing water was hearable, Niffty and Shadow opened their visionary organs, and as Izuku enjoyed the warm water and Shadow floated over his head, Niffty took out a tube of shampoo from the vanity, then walked to the bath, got up to the step stool, and asked Izuku to swim to her in order to help him wash his hair. Izuku complied with the request, moved to the side of the bath where his aunt was, and leaned to the side of the bathtub with his back, letting her gently wash and clean his hair and ears while the foam in the water surrounded Izuku like icebergs in the arctic waters. When she was done and wash the foam away from her nephew's head, Shadow brought one of the towels to her, allowing her to dry Izuku's body after he got out of the water.
Speaking of which, when Niffty kindly asked him to get out of the water, they were once again requested by our little broccoli head to close until he gets out of the water and turns around. After this was done and Izuku showed his back to them, Niffty fastly cleaned his body with the towel and helped him get into his pyjamas. Then, after Niffty brushed his hair back to its previous form, she lifted the step stool and put it in front of the basin, allowing Izuku to wash his teeth if he wanted to. Izuku stepped up to the step stool and looked into the mirror with Shadow at his right side, searching for a toothbrush and toothpaste, which were magically placed on the basin. The toothbrush was green-colored and was placed inside a green glass while the toothpaste was next to the glass. Izuku grabbed the toothpaste, put an enough amount on the toothbrush, and began to clean his teeth meanwhile Niffty folded up his clothes.
Once he was fully done and put the toothbrush back into the glass, all three of them exited the room and saw Alastor next to the door in front of them, waiting for them. After they approached the Radio Demon, Alastor grabbed the door's handle and pushed it down, unlocking the door inwards in the process and offering him a chance to see how the room looked.
The walls of the room had the same wallpaper the rest of the walls of the house possessed. At the right side of the room, a large wardrobe made out of dark red wood was placed with a bed next to it. It was standing horizontally to the wall at the right and had a dark red blanket and red pillow on it. On the left side of the room, the part that was closer to Izuku, was occupied by a huge bookshelf with the shelves filled with different books, while there was a desk next to the bookshelf, which had three drawers at both of its sides, a vintage wooden chair in front of it, an old-fashioned table lamp with telescope arm on it, and another shelf above it. Finally, there was a window at the end of the room next to the desk, allowing Izuku to observe the streets of outer Pentagram City.
After he looked around the room, Izuku rushed to the bed as Shadow flew after him and Alastor closed the door behind himself and followed his little boy to the side of the bed. As Izuku got up to the bed and lay on it, his father grabbed the blanket and covered his little boy's body with the blanket, leaving only his head, neck, and hands visible. Then, the Radio Demon looked at his son and opened his toothy mouth.
"So, did you have fun today, my boy?" Alastor wondered with his iconic grin.
"Yes, I had, daddy!" Izuku beamed cheerfully as he observed his father.
"That's good to hear." Alastor said, then continued, "Now, rest well, my boy. I don't want you to stay away for long." Al finished as he stood up and was about head out of the room, when his little boy prevented him from this act.
"Will I see you again?" Izuku inquired as he observed his father with hopeful and a little bit worried eyes while Shadow floated above Izuku's head and witnessed the whole scene. Hearing this, Alastor morphed his usual smile to a playful one and walked back to the side of the bed, and kneeled down, focusing his full attention on Izuku.
"Do not worry about this, my boy. I'll never be too far away. I ensure you we will be in touch." Alastor assured, "And don't forget one thing, my boy." Alastor said, then moved his hands towards his mouth and placed his index fingers on the corners of his mouth, widening and showing off his smile a little bit, "You're never fully dressed without a smile." he advised
"Okay, daddy." Izuku chuckled calmly.
"And now, my boy, allow me a sing you a lullaby that I suppose will assist you in falling asleep. It's a little bit after my time, but it is such a, thoughtful melody." Alastor requested as he cleared his throat and a sudden music started to play from seemingly nowhere, causing Izuku to look around in his bed confusedly. But this confusion vanished instantly when he heard his father sing (turn on 'We'll meet again' Alastor Cover Ver. from Paranoid DJ if you want.)
"We'll meet again,
Don't know where, don't know when,
But I'll know we'll meet again
Some sunny day." Alastor sang as the gentle play of a piano in the background calmed Izuku down, causing him to yawn and stretch his arms for one last time, lay on his stomach, and place his hands under the pillow, while Shadow began to turn back into Izuku's shadow and Alastor continued his singing.
"Keep smiling through,
Just like you always do,
'Til the blue skies drive clouds
Far away."
"And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know
Tell them you won't belong
They'll be happy to know
That as I saw you go
You were singing this song."
"We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day." Alastor chanted as he followed his performance with the mixture of a calming row of humming and the soft sound of the piano, making Izuku his eyelids become heavier and heavier and Shadow almost fully go back to his shadow form.
"We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day." the Radio Demon finished, then looked at his son's shadow companion, who was nowhere to be seen. After that, he looked at his little boy, who was already sleeping the dream of the righteous. Alastor could help but put a sweet smile on his face as he observe his son rest peacefully and covered him with the blanket a little bit more, "Until we meet again, my dear sweet boy." he said as he caressed his son's hair, not noticing the peeking eye of Niffty on the other side of the room. With this, he stood up and went to the door, all the while Niffty went away from the door, not wanting to reveal her presence. When Alastor reached the door, opened it, exited the room, and was about the close the door, he took one last glance at the sleeping Izuku, then closed the door quietly, leaving Izuku to sleep in the room in silence.
Eight and a half hours had passed when Izuku awoke from his sleep and opened his eyes, getting a glimpse of the closure of a fiery portal. He sat up in his bed with his pyjamas on him and rubbed his eyes with his hands as he observed his surrounding and realised something: He was at home. He was sitting on his bed inside his room. He was utterly surprised by this. How did he get back there? Where was his father? Where was his aunt? As these questions ran through his mind, Shadow moved out of his hideout and revealed himself to his master, appearing at his right side.
Izuku turned his head and smiled at his shadowy friend, when suddenly, with a loud bang, the door of his room bursted open. Both of them got startled and looked in the direction of the door to see who opened the door. It was Inko. She had a little bit of messy hair and bags under her eyes, indicating she hadn't even slept since his son left due to her worry. She was still wearing the same clothes from the previous day.
"M-Mommy?" Izuku asked with surprise.
"Izuku!" Inko exclaimed as she ran towards her son and embraced him with her hug once she got to him, "Thank god, you're alright? Did your father do something to you? Did he hurt you?" she asked worriedly as she looked at him.
"No! He didn't hurt me. He was really kind!" Izuku stated as they broke their hug, making Inko widen her eyes as she heard this statement.
"R-Really?" Inko quizzed in shock and confusion, "C-Can you t-tell me what y-you did t-there?" Inko requested.
"Of course!" Izuku replied, then began to list his adventures with his father to his mother. He told her how he met his father, where did he take him, how he made a new friend, how he found out that he could make fire, how he met his second aunty, how he met one of his father's friends, how tasty the meal he ate at his father's place, how he and Rosie taught him how to dance, and how his father protected and saved him two times.
Inko was shocked to her core when she heard all of this. Of course, she was freaked out by hearing that his son was in danger, but she was also puzzled thanks to the behavior of the Radio Demon as Izuku described him. She thought Alastor was going to do something terrible to her son, but she had never expected him to be an actual father to Izuku. He was indeed a spirit of mystery, she thought.
"I-I see." Inko said in shock, "A-And d-did you enjoy your t-time there?" she inquired.
"Yes, mommy!" Izuku chirped.
"I-I'm g-glad." Inko responded, then noticed something that she somehow didn't when she hugged her little green beanie, "S-Sweety?"
"Yes, mommy?" he asked joyfully.
"W-Why is there a paper on you?" Inko pointed out.
Hearing this, Izuku widened his eyes in surprise and lowered his head to observe his body to see what his mother referred to. There was a sheet of paper with a possible message written on it with red ink on his body. He grabbed it with both of his hands, took it off of his body, and started to read it inside his mind.
"My dear sweet little boy,"
" I have quite enjoyed our exquisite time together! I have to apologise for the unfortunate events that occurred during our bonding moments. I hope you won't be mad at me because of it. If you desire to visit me, just ask the darling mother of yours! She'll show you the ropes. Also, if you don't mind, I have hidden a little surprise present for you under your pillow as a gift for all of your birthdays I had missed!"
"I'm looking forward to our next delightful meeting."
"Sincerely,"
"Your father."
His father was the one who sent this letter. And to be honest, Izuku felt totally excited and happy because of the fact that his father wanted to see him again as possible, causing him to form a big smile on his face which was not unnoticeable for his mother.
"S-So, w-what's in it?" Inko queried anxiously.
"It's from daddy! He wants to see me again!" Izuku beamed cheerfully, then handed the paper over to Inko, who just stared at the paper in even more shock. After he gave the paper to his mother, he turned around and crawled to his pillow and lifted it with both of his hands, checking it if there was anything under it. There was something under the pillow indeed. It was a long, small, red-colored box wrapped with a bright-colored ribbon.
He put the pillow down and grabbed the box with his hands and raised it, putting it down between him and his mother, causing her to snap out of his shocked stare and glance at her son.
"W-What's that?" Inko questioned anxiously as she put the paper down to the bed.
"A present." Izuku replied, "Daddy said in the letter he gave a gift for all of my birthdays." he explained, making Inko more confused with this remark. After his explanation, he untied the ribbon on the present, grabbed the top of it, and lifted it off, revealing the insides of the box for all three of them. But what they saw was clearly not what Izuku expected it to be. Inside the boy, a short, thin, green-colored cane was laid with a green vintage microphone attached to it, with the addition of white trimming on the mic.
As Izuku curiously observed the cane, he took it out of the box with his hands and witnessed it with interest. With curiosity lingering inside him, he raised his right hand and touched the mic with his right finger index two times to see if it reacted to it. When he proceeded to do this, the middle of the microphone suddenly glowed up in a green color and in the place of the light, a singular eye appeared with a green sclera and a black sharp pupil and looked at him.
"Hello, master!" the mic greeted happily.
"Yeep!" Izuku was startled as he dropped the microphone on the bed in alarm.
"I'm sorry for scaring you, master! I didn't want to!" the mic apologised with remorse.
"W-Wait, you can talk?" Izuku wondered as he picked the up and looked into its only eye.
"Yes indeed, master! I'm capable of organizing verbal communication with you in order to lend my help for you in whatever you need." the microphone interpreted, making Izuku observe it with sparkling eyes.
"You're so cool!" Izuku noted excitedly.
"Oh, my, I'm flattered! Thank you, master!" the mic remercied as both Shadow and Inko watched their occurring conversation.
"I have to thank daddy for this next time I see him!" Izuku chirped as he continued to look at the mic with excitement and cheerfulness, allowing Inko to drop the question that she was most curious and worried about.
"S-So sweety, d-do y-you want t-to v-visit your f-father a-again later?" Inko questioned, wanting to know the answer of her son eagerly.
After she asked this, Izuku focused his attention on his mother and started to think about it. But as he began this act, he grabbed the piece of paper and looked at it as he recalled everything that his father told him in person and in the letter. How kind he was, how he showed him he had other abilities, how he tried to cheer him up when he was gloomy, and how he protected him. And lastly, how his father desired to him again as soon as and as regularly as possible. These facts made him clear that he knew what was the right answer to Inko's question. So, with the answer in his mind, he looked up from the paper and set his eyes upon his mother a relaxed and happy expression on his face.
"Yes, mommy. I want to see him again." Izuku confessed honestly to Inko with a small smile on face.
"A-Are you sure, h-honey?" Inko quizzed uneasily.
"Yes, mommy, I'm sure." he stated as he turned his head, and with the observing Shadow behind him, he looked at the sheet of paper in his hands with a sweet smile. And from that day on, our protagonist visited his father on almost every weekend, strengthening their relationship even more. Not only that, he even reunited with his new friend, Mellow, who immediately hugged him when they met again at the same playground and as they turned older, they became really close friends. She was his first demonic friend.
Of course, as time went on, he eventually found out who his father really was and what place he lived in, and although he wasn't a fan of his father's past actions, it didn't matter to our broccoli head. Alastor was still his father and he still loved him. And as his visits became more frequent, the sinners and native-born demons began to gossip about a human boy who had some sort of special connection to the Radio Demon. Some of them said that it was just a pure myth which was founded by a group of some crazy drug-addicted dumbasses, but some of them stated they saw them walking around with their own very eyes. They didn't know it was true or not, but one thing was certain: If this boy really existed and was somehow the son of the Radio Demon, they had to fear him, just like his father. Because if they didn't, God knows what kind of terrible things he would have done to them.
