NAGATO IN MHA

"88, 89, 90,... 98!. We achieved our target!. We even exceeded it!. I was able to buy a flute today, thank you Nagato. You helped me a lot, especially with your good songs earlier, a lot of the audience liked it, I've never even heard a song like that before." Ryosuke said excitedly and continued to praise Nagato about how good and unique his songs were.

Actually, they weren't his songs, he just covered them. Most of the songs he played were osts from various anime. Like Blue bird from Naruto, Unravel from Tokyo Ghoul, Kamado tanjiro no uta from Kimetsu no Yaiba, to Sasageyo from Shingeki no Kyojin. And many more.

Well, Nagato knew all those songs due to forced learning from his roommate who was a real wibu. So whenever his roommate saw him holding a guitar, then that person would ask him to play those songs.

And according to him, the most challenging are the songs from Tokyo Ghoul. Because most of the songs used as osts are rather hard-edged like rock/metal.

Nagato just slapped the wind and thought it was no problem. He liked those songs anyway. It turns out that although many famous buildings are the same as his world such as the Eifel tower or the statue of liberty, but for art, especially music, it is completely different from his world. That's why there are many popular songs in his world that don't exist here.

Maybe she would be considered a songwriter here, even though she only covered them.

"Come on Nagato, accompany me to choose a good flute. I'm sure you can help me choose." Ryosuke pulled Nagato's hand straight towards the city center.

Though this was already dark. The sun had set a while ago. Nagato also felt tired because they performed more than usual today. But seeing Ryosuke's excited face, Nagato just sighed tiredly then followed the direction of Ryosuke's pull.

They boarded the bus to the city center. It was after work so the bus was full of passengers. Ryosuke pushed his way in and pulled Nagato along. They didn't get seats so they both stood. Ryosuke left enough room for Nagato to not be cramped by using his own body.

Half an hour they stood. Until finally they reached their destination. Ryosuke immediately entered the store with Nagato behind him. Many musical instruments were displayed in front of the eyes. Wow, the price is no joke. Very expensive.

Especially this violin that Nagato saw. The price can really buy him milk for three years. Nagato was sure of that.

Remembering milk, Nagato remembered that since this afternoon the two of them had not eaten anything. After busking they both headed straight here without having time to rest first. Nagato could now feel if his stomach was asking to be filled.

Nagato glanced at Ryosuke who was looking at the flute. "Which one do you think is better Nagato?" Ryosuke asked without taking his eyes off the instrument in front of him.

Nagato also helped Ryosuke choose a musical instrument. After he and Ryosuke argued a few times over Ryosuke's original choice, they finally bought a silver-colored flute that looked good.

On the way to the bus stop, Ryosuke's stomach rumbled. Kruuyuuk. And Ryosuke laughed immediately after hearing it. "Oh my, haha. We forgot to eat since earlier. Why didn't you tell me, Nagato? Aren't you hungry."

Nagato was hungry, so hungry that he felt his stomach clinging to his spine. But Ryosuke still seemed focused on choosing the flute. So Nagato could only hide his hunger and immediately helped Ryosuke choose so they could eat immediately.

Nagato and Ryosuke then stopped by the convenience store first before returning home by bus. They didn't eat at the restaurant because besides being a bit expensive, only Ryosuke could eat well, while Nagato could only drink a glass of milk. That would look ironic to the other diners.

Ryosuke finished three cups of instant noodles, while Nagato finished two boxes of banana milk. They really looked starving.

"Nagato, sit closer." Ryosuke called out.

Why? Nagato came closer. Suddenly Ryosuke pinched both of Nagato's cheeks. Pulling him right and left. Making Nagato curse silently in pain.

Nagato immediately let go of Ryosuke's demonic hand and rubbed his cheeks. "What are you doing, you freak." Nagato wrote in his book. Earlier at the store there was a promotion for pocket notebooks. So Ryosuke bought two for Nagato as a thank you for accompanying him to the city center.

"I'm just checking if your cheeks have grown more flesh, Nagato. No need to get upset." Ryosuke extended his hand again but was immediately avoided by Nagato. Ryosuke then directed his hand in another direction and pinched Nagato in several places which obviously made Nagato squirm in pain.

"Looks like you did manage to grow a little flesh, Nagato. That means the dietary supplement was effective. You should take it diligently if you want your appearance to return to normal." Ryosuke lectured.

Nagato just nodded while continuing to rub his hand that was pinched very hard. Is this guy doing it on purpose? Nagato thought.

If you look carefully, Nagato's appearance has changed a little. His cheeks are no longer as sunken as before. His body has also increased in height. Now he looked like an average normal boy, although he still didn't have any baby fat on his cheeks.

Ryosuke stroked Nagato's dark red hair. "Your hair is getting longer too. You want me to cut it Nagato?"

Nagato shook his head. He needed his hair to cover his left eye. If his hair was cut it would expose his bloodshot eye clearly.

The wind was getting colder at night, Ryosuke tightened his jacket and Nagato's red jacket. "The nights are getting colder, let's go home." The two of them then got on the bus and headed back to the base.

....

The next morning as soon as he woke up Ryosuke immediately took a shower and got ready. His face was as bright as the sunrise because of his vigor.

Nagato was left with a messy futon as Ryosuke had slipped in his excitement earlier. With a crumpled face Nagato cleaned up his futon and Ryosuke's and fed the crows.

Today Ryosuke was going away for his apology, so they had a day off from busking. Nagato looked at the black bird in the cage. Some feathers had grown on its body, though still a few. Nagato then recorded it in his data.

Half an hour later Ryosuke was ready with neat clothes and a flute that had been wrapped so neatly that it was invisible because it was so neat.

Nagato patted Ryosuke who was putting on his favorite shoes. "Is the person you're going to apologize to, one of your old friends?"

After reading Nagato's sentence, Ryosuke nodded. "Yes, he was one of them. I want him to be friends with me again. I've already forgotten his mistake to my lost friend. The past will only be a burden anyway. So I want us to be friends again. For the future."

Ryosuke was the kind of person who always kept ties. Nagato wasn't too surprised after learning that. Ryosuke's character did clearly reflect that.

"Oh, well that's up to you. Are you going to be long? What time will you be home Ryosuke?"

Nagato wrote.

"Why, are you going to miss me, Nagato? Geez I haven't even left yet, but you're already worrying about me to this extent." Ryosuke was obviously joking. Nagato immediately crumpled. He then hit Ryosuke with the onigiri he had made earlier while Ryosuke was in the bathroom.

Paak. The onigiri landed on Ryosuke's forehead freely. Ryosuke was not angry because of Nagato's behavior, instead laughing, he even immediately ate the onigiri after landing on his forehead.

Ryosuke finished eating the onigiri when he finished tying his shoes. He then picked up the flute pack. Ryosuke saw that there was a box of caramel milk with a note near his gift. He walked out with the two items and opened the note.

"Don't leave for too long and come back soon. Don't forget to bring an umbrella, it might rain later." Ryosuke smiled after reading the note. He then looked inside. Nagato had disappeared behind the bathroom door since earlier.

Ryosuke took his jacket and umbrella. Before Nagato's arrival, Ryosuke usually stayed alone without anyone waiting for him at the headquarters. But now that there was a boy waiting for him to return to the base, he could feel his heart warm.

Ryosuke opened the exit door. "I'm off!"

....

Nagato came out of the bathroom refreshed. Although the water felt cold because there was no hot water.

Running his fingers through his hair Nagato thought of ways to test Itachi--the raven name of his experiment.

Nagato took Itachi out of the cage and placed him on the table. The two creatures of different species just looked at each other for some time. It seemed they were also assessing the creature in front of them.

Nagato traced the bird's body. From top to bottom, to left to right. Then he remembered that Itachi's wing had been hit by a rock. Just as Nagato was about to check, the bird suddenly pecked his hand hard.

Nagato immediately withdrew his hand. What are you doing, you vindictive bird. I didn't hurt your wing. I just wanted to see it. Nagato thought.

Itachi barked loudly, as if answering Nagato's thoughts with a curse.

Wait a minute. You, can you tell what I'm thinking? Nagato also seemed to understand that the bird was swearing at him. Itachi barked again. The sound of crows filled the headquarters.

What do you mean by weird humans. All humans in this world are mostly like that. If you look for normal humans it will be difficult in this world. Nagato thought.

The bird was silent as if it couldn't argue with that fact. With eighty percent of humans developing quirks, it was indeed difficult to find a normal human form.

Ignoring what Itachi might be thinking. Nagato observed the bird's every movement. It seemed like this bird's IQ had increased. This bird could even swear and argue with him.

Nagato noted in his book. Ok, Itachi. Let me see your wing. Maybe I can treat it. Nagato requested.

Itachi stared at Nagato for a moment, then he handed over his broken wing. Nagato looked at the wing. It's already broken badly. It would be difficult to make it whole again. Nagato wasn't a doctor, so he wasn't sure he could heal Itachi's wing.

Nagato rubbed his chin in thought. It seemed like he had one ability that could be used to fix anything. Nagato in the Naruto anime had used it to repair paintings that were badly damaged.

Nagato then removed his blindfold and activated the quirk in his eyes. A black eye with white circles appeared in his left eye. He then put his hands together like praying and concentrated.

Actually Nagato doesn't know how to use that ability. Because Nagato in the Naruto anime uses hand seals to use his eye abilities. And he here doesn't know about any hand seals. So he just put his hands together and hoped to use that ability, the Summoning of the King of Hell.

Nagato felt his energy being used. Did it work? Nagato peered at his surroundings.

Beside Nagato appeared a purple circle with a small diameter. Gradually the circle expanded until it passed through the headquarters wall. Then something appeared in the center. It rose slowly, revealing a cone-like head sculpture with a large, scary face where there was an iron gate at the mouth of the face.

One of Nagato's abilities, the Summoning of the King of Hell. This really was the King of Hell that Nagato used in the Naruto anime. He stared at the statue and gulped. It turns out that when viewed in person, it looks very scary. Really like the name King of Hell.

But if Nagato looks carefully. This statue of the King of Hell's head looks more like a hologram. Not a real statue that emerged from the ground. If it was a real statue from the ground, surely the floor underneath would have collapsed and shocked the surrounding residents.

Nagato noticed that part of the King of Hell's head went through the wall. Well, through it, not through it. Nagato thought it was better than him having to pay for the renovation if this head statue destroyed the headquarters wall. And Ryosuke would be very shocked if he saw it.

Nagato then glanced at Itachi. The bird looked stunned with its beak open. Nagato found it amusing that a bird could have such an expression.

Nagato then made the iron gate shift and the King of Hell opened his mouth until it was as wide and tall as the door. Immediately Nagato grabbed Itachi and threw him into the King of Hell's dark mouth.

It was clear that Itachi's expression was shocked and scared, as if he couldn't believe that Nagato would throw him into that creepy mouth. The head then closed its mouth and made a chewing motion. Nagato watched every movement of the statue with interest.

A minute later the King of Hell's mouth opened again like a door. From inside flew out a crow that immediately attacked Nagato.

Nagato immediately covered his head and ran around the headquarters. Sometimes he even went through the statue of the King of Hell's head. Which automatically made Itachi stop chasing him. It looks like the bird is still afraid of the creepy face of the statue.

Nagato then laughed and taunted Itachi by calling him a scared bird. The incident continued to repeat itself several times until both were tired and lay on the floor. Lying down Nagato returned the head statue to its original place then sat down to drink some water.

Don't be angry Itachi. I was just joking. Well I apologize for mocking you. After all you've also fully recovered haven't you?. Nagato thought half sincerely. Itachi turned his head the other way as if not accepting Nagato's apology.

But Nagato also didn't care whether the bird would forgive him or not. He picked up a book and guitar and sat down in front of the table. He wrote down the lyrics of the songs he played yesterday. Intending to teach Ryosuke these songs so that Ryosuke could accompany him when busking tomorrow.

Itachi flew up and landed on the table. He eyed the book Nagato was writing in curiously. Nagato who saw him just gave Itachi a potato chip before continuing his writing. I intend to teach Ryosuke these songs. Nagato explained to Itachi.

The time passed quickly. Now it was past lunchtime, Nagato and Itachi had eaten their respective meals. But Ryosuke still hadn't returned. It had been raining since ten o'clock and still hadn't stopped.

Nagato was thinking about Ryosuke, why wasn't that guy back yet. Suddenly Nagato heard the sound of running on the stairs. Long live he, just thought of coming straight away?.

In the middle of this rain running like that on the stairs, does this person want to slip? Nagato immediately opened the exit door without waiting for the person who came to knock on the door. With the intention of nagging him.

But when the door opened, it wasn't Ryosuke's sloppy face that Nagato encountered. But a drenched stranger with a panicked face.

"You're Ryosuke's younger brother, aren't you?!"
