Now Now, No Need to Get Alarmed. It's not my blood.

Thugs, thieves and petty criminals. They had taken up far too much of his time. They were mindless and couldn't think for themselves. In that sense, they were perfect. He didn't have the power of the Robatik Industries, nor the skill of the Kobayashi Clan, but he had numbers. An army of ants could eat a tiger if their numbers were large enough. He was up to his neck in deeds and his own plans to even think about his own bloodline. He needed a change of pace. Something to remind him of what it was all for. He could hear the sounds of her feet, as well as the buttons being pressed. He didn't mind so much not being noticed. He was enjoying the view of Tokyo. He had never taken a moment to appreciate the little things, at least not until today.

He let out a soft hum at the sound of ceramics shattering. Was it out of anger, or foolishness? He gave a low, soft chuckle as he would slowly turn to face his next of kin.

"I sure hope I'm not interrupting something important." he would say it with kindness, as if it was from the depths of his heart. But with him, any offering he gave, meant he was willing to take double what he had traded. "I only wished to see how my darling daughter was doing." he spoke again, in the same manner. He did not entirely care for the girl, nor what she was doing. If she wanted to play hero, so do it. She would bring him glory, even if she stopped petty things. Everything that she did, outside of his little ring or inside of it, benefited him. She could have served him just as well in the underbelly of things, but he already had someone for that assignment. And unlike his daughter, she did not use her quirk outside of his permission.

The girl seemed to be made of stone, refusing to change or move. Had see seen a ghost? Or perhaps something more frightening? Ah yes, it must have been a demon.

Or her father.

He spoke nothing about her miss, to him it was meaningless words. It held no weight, just words that were said in place of an awkward silence. He would continue to stare over the city. He never really had a moment of peace, but as of now he had all of the time in the world. All of his chess pieces were arranged where they needed to be. He had countless pawns that had served their purpose, while other more valuable pieces defended what was his kingdom. She was a piece on his board. She was no queen. She was no knight. There was nothing that changed the game for him. But she, was in essence, a rook. And in the case he fell, he could, and would change places with her. She would take his fall. After all, she was another piece of his board... his massive game of chess.

"Oh? Then I guess you are learning." he would say. Family was important. The family. No, the family name. What mattered was the honor that she brought to his name. But the day she fell from grace, he would let her hit the concrete. She was nothing worth saving. She would step away, perhaps to toss out the broken dish she had created or to dress herself.

"Are you asking for help? Should I call for assistance? Or are your servants adequate enough?" he asked her, wondering what the case was. He could not allow someone that carried his name to live like a savage. A barren home was no good. They had plenty of money to fill this home with all kinds of things, even if she was never home to enjoy all of them. But then she continued, on call? That would not do.

"I trust you will not make any mistakes. I would hate to discover such failures." He would then adjust his footing, his body turning, twisting to face her. A smile was cut into his plastic face. Everything about him was fake, behind a guise of pretend.

"You will bring Japan great honor with you work." he would say, "But have you heard of some of the upcoming evils?" His expression would fade, into something as cold as ice, or rather his heart. "What am I saying, you're a hero now. You must be updated about all of the smuggling that has been going on." He would say, turning his head to look around her apartment. It was homey, roomy. Did she live alone? Who else had access to such a place? Could he, or others get in as easy?

"It would be disappointing to know that Japan's top hero was ill informed. What am I saying." and a smile would again cross his face, a cheshire grin. His daughter was never a disappointment. She was the one that would bring them a great fortune.
