《Return • Todoroki ff》Chapter 20

Niko sat at the head of the table as she silently sipped the cup of coffee that Kaito had brought in.
As time passed, the higher ups of the store started to walk in one by one. As soon as everyone was present, Niko asked Kaito to shut the door.
"I'm sure everyone must be puzzled as to why I called you here."
"You should be even more puzzled as to why I am present in this store when the next visit to this store should be a few months later."
"Well, I'm here to educate you since some of you are obviously not doing your job."
"Who's the manager here."
A woman with long brown hair and a pencil skirt that was way too short for work raised her hand.
"You. Kaito, what's her name."
"Ms Hitori, it's Jeong Ara."
"Ah Ara, remind me as to how you climbed up to this position?"
"To my knowledge, you have only been here for 2 months. It's impossible for you to be promoted to the manager position in just 2 months."
"Ms Hitori, I worked extremely hard to be promoted."
"That's utter rubbish. Don't think I don't know what you and Mr Min have done. I am not oblivious to what goes on in all my stores."
"If you get the role. You should act like one."
"What is this absurd behaviour. Unreachable during work hours? Unacceptable. Hooking up with your higher ups? Unacceptable. I'm sorry to inform you, both you and Mr Min are fired. Now get out."
"Excuse me what?"
"I don't have to repeat myself twice, Ms Ara."
After Ara and Mr Min reluctantly walked out of the room, Niko said, "Let this be a reminder to everyone here. You should know why you are employed and what you should be doing. I do not want to see all this rubbish and nonsense ever appearing in my stores again. Do you get it."

Everyone nodded, and on cue Kaito went to open the door. As soon as the door was opened everyone started to hurry out.
"Utter rubbish." Niko muttered as she finished up her coffee and walked out of the meeting room to the car.
Niko started the car engine and drove home.
Niko parked her car in the parking lot and walked towards the house.
As she turned the door knob and entered the house, her sister called for her.
"Niko, come here. I have something to tell you."
Since I have to move to the States tomorrow I decided that I should go home and inform Fuyumi about my move.
As I opened the sliding door to the house I said, "I'm home."
"Shoto? You didn't say that you were going to come back today."
"I guess you could call it a surprise visit?" I said as I took off my shoes.
"Do you want dinner?"
"Yea sure."
"If you are looking for Natsuo he is in his room."
"Nope it's fine I'm not looking for him."
"Hm okay." Fuyumi said as she continued to cook.
I sat on the sofa and turned on the television to watch the news.
"Dinner is ready!" Fuyumi said as she took the plates out from the kitchen and sat them down on the table in the dining room.
"I'll help," I said as I stood up from the sofa and walked to the kitchen to help Fuyumi with the dishes.
"You're so nice today Shoto. Any particular reason?"
"You'll know later," I answered with a cheeky smile.
We had to wait for Natsuo to come down from his room before we ate our dinner.
"Is the old man not coming home today?"

"Mm, he said that he's busy at his agency and won't be needing dinner for this few days."
"Great. My appetite becomes better when I don't see his shit face." Natsuo commented as he took a big bite out of the fried chicken.
"Natsuo!" Fuyumi exclaimed as she gave Natsuo a slight slap on his shoulder.
"Anyways, what did you want to tell us Shoto?"
"I will be transferred to the hero department in America." I said as I took a sip of the tea.
"WHAT!" Fuyumi exclaimed.
"Nee-san, calm down."
"But why? I thought you were always located in Japan?"
"They said that its because there has been a spike in villain cases recently and they don't have enough people to manage it."
"Besides, I'm not the only one going. You remember Kaminari from UA."
"The dude who goes idiotic after he uses too much electricity. Ye I remember him," Natsuo said trying to hold in his laughter when he pictured Kaminari in his idiotic form.
"Yea him. He's going to America too."
"That's a relief. At least you won't be alone there."
"When will you be leaving?"
"Tomorrow evening."
"So soon?"
"Unfortunately so, originally it was set to be a month later, but because of a drastic spike in crime going around in the country they moved my transfer."
"Will you be coming back?" Fuyumi asked again.
"I'm not sure. I'll try asking for a transfer after the cases in America start to decrease again."
"Alright. Well you must remember to have your meals regularly and sleep regularly. Okay?"
"Don't be too focused on the villains that you forget to take care of yourself."
"I'll be fine nee-san, you don't have to worry too much. Besides, you should be more worried about Natsuo, isn't his job interview tomorrow?"
"And why do you know?" Natsuo asked as he raised his eyebrows.
"I have my sources."
"Thanks for reminding me Shoto. Natsuo are you ready for your interview tomorrow?"
"No-"
"Natsuooooooooo. What did I tell you about always being prepared."
"I get it. Stop nagging."
The Todoroki household's family dinner went on peacefully without any disruptions, well minus the frequent shouts from Fuyumi.
