Kado leaned back against the tree she was sat against, and let out a contented sigh. She had definitely needed this little break from the business of her store. It was doing quite well, no complaints in that regard. So well in fact that she was genuinely interested in expanding the business.
But trying to get another branch opened up here in Tokyo was proving a little more difficult than she had anticipated. All that governmental red-tape, not to mention the fact that she might have annoyed to say the least some of the bureaucrats involved in the planning permission department... Bunch of passive aggressive Anti-Quirker arseholes the lot of them! How any of them still kept their jobs in this climate she had no idea.
The red-head took a slow breath as she worked on getting back into a relaxing frame of mind. The park here was one of the reasons she wanted to branch out into Tokyo and have her new shop close by. That and the commute times for any of her employee's would be far more feasible between the Musutafu and Tokyo stores.
The sounds of the park and its visitors lilted to her ears, and Kado sighed once more as the laughter of children playing sent her into a reverie of memory... Of what once had been before it was shattered... As she closed her eyes, a single tear trickled down her face.

The park was always the place where interesting things happened in Miku's life and it was the place where she always got to be a lil naughty with her Quirk as a child. Miku today once again felt she needed some fresh air and the surroundings of nature. But yes, the park always made her naughty as she'd sneakily use her Quirk in it. Using her Quirk she'd manipulate the plants in a discrete way, to make flowers bloom and to just make the plants more vibrant and lovely for all the park guests. Its such a small thing she was able to do it to every grass leaf and to every flower within her 50m range radius.
She smiled at a job well done and observed her discreet handy work. It just looked like that the plants got more better by themselves. But no, it was Miku, who discreetely used it, her quirk that is. But as she admired the nature she restored, she noticed someone was still a bit glum. Well that wont do. So Miku got up and walked over to the glum person. She slowly approached them "Umm... hey there. Is... something he matter?" Miku would ask

"Hmm?" Kado opened her eyes and looked up at the young blonde girl looking at her in concern. She frowned before feeling something damp on her cheek. The red-head rubbed at her face and discovered that she had indeed been crying. Kado gave a self-deprecating snort before then sighing and shaking her head. "Quite alright dear, but thank you for asking." she said with a bow of her head. "Not many these days would." the red-head mused.
Something felt off though. Or at least to Kado it did. She looked around the area, raising an eyebrow as quite a lot of the plants in the area had suddenly become much more vibrant. Some of them which hadn't looked ready to bloom for a while yet were in full swing as well. "Now that's curious..." mused Kado as she inspected some of the plants nearby. "You weren't meant to bloom for at least another week." the red-head said to the plant almost conversationally.
Kado took another look at the young blonde girl, then back to the plants around them before the dots connected for her. "Aah... that explains it." she said in an amused tone of voice, turning her focus back to the young girl. "You're one of those UA Students yes? I think I remember watching that Sports Festival a while ago. The abilities of a certain student regarding the manipulation of plants in particular caught my eye." said Kado, with a conspiratorial wink.

She noticed the park being more lively and vibrant. Plants blooming that shouldnt bloom yet and all that stuff. The lady also figured out it was Miku who made the plants bloom as heard by her amused tone of voice. She also knew Miku was a UA student, based on the Sports Festival. Miku scarched her head nervously "Heheh, yeah thats me. I didnt think anyone would remember me from that. I thought my performance was rather underwhelming" Miku said with a shrug.
Miku didnt wanna really talk about herself and UA, so she changed subject "But yeah, since Im a UA student, I wanna make sure are you ok? I know you told me you're fine, but I just want to see if I can help in any way?" Miku asked, she wasnt much of a talker and she didnt expect a stranger to remember her. It was strange and unexpected, she didnt know what to do? Leave the lady alone? She did say nothing bothered her? Maybe Miku just imagined problems where there werent any. It wouldnt be the first time she got worried over nothing. If need be, Miku would leave the lady alone. She didnt want to bother someone over ... well... nothing

"Not remember you? My dear girl, you sell yourself short." Kado said with an amused smile on her face at the girls modesty. "I may perhaps admit to a little bit of a bias though, since my power is plant based as well and I run a florists." she said with a shrug, almost as if the admission were an afterthought, but gave young Miku a conspiratorial wink to try and reassure her.
When the blonde wanted to double check about the red-heads condition though, she sighed and looked towards the distant sounds of children playing in the park. "Unless you know someone with a time travel Quirk..." Kado mused before shaking her head.
She briefly wondered how much information to indulge the young plant-quirker with. Obviously not the entire backstory, no no, that might cause problems later on down the road.
Especially since she was a UA Student like that overeager Angel girl was, and knowing her luck Miku was probably best friends with the winged girl... "I was... taking an unexpected trip down memory lane. Considering what life used to be." she slowly said, turning her gaze up to the endless blue sky above.
"I'm sure your history lessons in school covered how many people view people like us... Especially when it came to "Normals" having a child who developed powers." she offered as a way of explaining the memories she was revisiting without going into too much detail. "Still do to an extent..." Kado sighed, clenching a fist in the grass before releasing her grip.

Miku was indeed surprised to see that the lady not only remembered her, but said that she sold herself short. The lady then admtted she might have a bit of a bias. Miku looked curiously at her, wondering how can she possibly have a positive bias towards her. They've never met. But then Miku got her answer. The lady had also a plant based quirk and she runs a flower shop place. She said it with a casual shrug. Miku was in awe. That is so cool
She then joked something about a time travel quirk and honestly, Miku missed the joke. But she asked "What is your flower shop called, miss?" Miku wondered if she frequented the place or not. And in case she did not frequent the location, she would make sure to go there and explore it. Maybe the lady had some cool plant material to work with. Sure some students had the likes of ASTA and her super cool gadgets. But Miku didnt need gadgets, all she needs are plant seeds and dirt. Oh and water. She needs to be hydrated. Basically old schooly and old timey wimey stuff. Nothing technological with cutting edge or whatever. Miku wondered indeed, has she been to the location this lady works at

Kado smirked as the young lady wanted to know more about her shop, no doubt intrigued because of her own Quirk. "It's called "Eclipsian Florists" my dear. It's over in the Musutafu shopping district, although I am working on expanding." she informed the blonde. The red-head pointed towards a spot outside the park they were in. "Somewhere around there, I'm planning to have a second shop." Kado stated, deciding to not bore the poor girl with all the red tape she's going through to get it done though.
She got a sly smirk on her face as a thought occurred to her. "If you're looking for something to do over the summer break by the way, we do offer employee's a fifty percent discount on purchases." Kado suggested to the young hero in training with a wink. "And if you wanted to practice your Quirk without getting into any trouble... Well, so long as it doesn't break anything or harm the customers I don't mind." she said, widening her net as it were to lure this young lady into potential employment.
Kado looked about at all the vibrant plant life that had been brought about by young Hajimari's Quirk, and she couldn't help wondering something. "I am curious though, and feel free to not answer if its too personal I understand completely," the red-head began, offering Miku an out should she want it, "but with your power, why try and become a Pro-Hero?" she inquired. She then gestured to the plant life around them.
"With your abilities I could well imagine you out in the Amazon for example, restoring the rainforests. Or anywhere in the world really, undoing the damage wrought upon the natural world by disasters. Both the natural and artificial man-made varieties." Kado said, expanding on her question to the young girl. "Apart from the coral in the Great Barrier Reefs... those as it turns out are more animal than floral." she chuckled.

Miku was definitely interested at working in a flower shop. It would be nice and rather healthy to occupy her mind and work at a summer job and earn her money. At least a bit before she gets roped into Sidekick business or hero business. "Oh I am extremely interested. I would love to work. But erm... do I need to bring my CV and do an interview? How do you employ someone?" Miku asked as she wasnt certain how that stuff is done. She never applied for a real job before so she didnt know the ropes.
Kado then asked Miku a question while bringing up very good points "Oh erm... well. I wanted to become a hero, like my dad. He is a crime fighter and I wanted to be like him. But he told me that if I want to be like him, I need to go to UA and graduate. So, while the amazon and restoring the rainforests does sound amazing. I guess it somehow never occured in my mind. But now that you mention it. I will keep an eye on that as my second option if I dont make the cut of becoming a hero." Miku told her

Hook, line and sinker~ Having one of UA's third year students should help bring in some extra foot traffic to the shop, if only for the novelty factor at first. But that combined with this girls Plant-based Quirk should ensure that this summer goes quite well. Maybe even enough to get the Tokyo branch of Eclipsian Florists set up. Kado chuckled at young Miku's questions about gaining employment.
"I mean, if you want we could have the whole "formal interview" at the store, CV and all." the red-head said, slightly teasingly. "Which, for the most part you would probably need to do for most other workplaces." Kado admitted with a shrug. "However, I much prefer a more informal approach. It lets me see a bit of who a person really is when they aren't "prepared" for it." she began to explain.
"For example, your words and actions so far show off that you are a kind and caring young woman, with a strong sense of family and responsibility." Kado pointed out, based on what she'd mentioned about wanting to follow in her father's footsteps. Although she would definitely need to be careful if her father was a vigilante... Mostly in case his Quirk, if he had one, was similar to Miku's own.
Plant control versus her plant-summon... Not the most ideal of match-ups that she could consider at this moment. Kado smiled softly though at Miku's honesty regarding her thoughts for her future. "Now, I feel I should warn you my dear, that I have been known to hire people who may or may not have had a rougher go in life than others, before they came to work for me. Would you be alright with that, given your hero training?" she asked, wondering if Miku was anything similar to her fellow student hero with the wings.

Kado said that while they can do a formal interview, she much rather prefers the informal approach which surprised Miku. She does want to let her parents know that she wants to have a job and not spring it up on them as if she was doing it behind their back. Kado spoke, saying that her words and her body revealed that Miku is a kind and caring young woman, with a strong sense of family and responsibility. Gosh, Miku was speechless, she did bashfully blush, mostly because she wasnt quite used to hearing these kind of compliments. Usually as a kid, you imagine just your parents say that because they're parents and they have bias. But this was coming off from a stranger. It kind of makes her feel as if her accomplishments and virtues were genuine and not one sided compliments from loving parents. Miku thanked Kado "Thank you for the kind words"
Miku did reveal she wanted to focus on her fathers footsteps. G's footsteps. After a whole ordeal of lies, deceit, anger, forgiveness and acceptance. She has accepted G as her de facto biological dad, even though he wasnt. Her biological one was Thundershock. But Miku would work well to distance herself from him. Or at the very least try her best. Kado had a keen eye to guess that her father figure was a Vigilante. But while she was right on the nose there, the idea of another plant Quirker was far from truth. Instead his quirk was a bit closer to her own. But that was a story for another time. Kado asked another question. She looked at Kado and heard her out before answering "I do imagine other people having a rough life. But I am a hero in training. Not a hero yet. And even if I was a hero, I couldnt arrest someone without any proof that they have commited any wrongdoing. I havent seen it, and if no witness comes to me saying that X person did something bad. I cant really do anything" Miku explained While she knows person X is a criminal or whatever. She cant do anything without proof, otherwise the person would just be let go and she'd get an enemy. But if it was someone well known. Well... while she couldnt arrest them herself, she would call a Pro Hero to do the job. It was a bit tricky. So it was best for Miku to not know much. She prefers bliss over a blind eye.

Oh god this girl was just adorable~ A few well earned, in Kado's view at least, compliments and the third year hero student was blushing like a schoolgirl. Which she technically was... The analogy still worked though. The red-haired woman listened to the young blondes words very carefully as she replied to her query regarding her other employees.
So she's not as sanctimonious as her fellow student with the wings then... She at least requires evidence rather than just hearsay. Kado nodded slowly as the girl finished her explanation. "Well, it's good to know that you at least need proof first before taking any kind of action. Makes you a step up from some of the so-called heroes and law enforcement in this world." she said with a reassuring smile and a chuckle.
"Now, this is a part-time job offer of course. I don't want to take up all of your summer break after all." Kado said with a smirk. "And if there are any trips or vacations that you and your family, or your friends have already got planned, we can easily accommodate for that." she said to try and reassure the young student. This had been a sudden out of the blue offer after all, and it wouldn't be fair to either of them to force that kind of choice on Miku.
"It would normally be at one thousand yen an hour, but seeing as you have a Quirk and there is that stupid Quirk Tax going on at the moment," said Kado with a roll of her eyes as she thought of the damned tax, "you would be paid one thousand and two hundred yen per hour to compensate for the tax." she offered.
She gave it a few moments for all of that to sink in and let Miku process it before she continued. "You don't have to decide right now of course. Give it a week, talk to your parents if you want, or even your teachers if that's something you have to do at UA." she said reassuringly to the young hero student.
"And then if you're still interested, stop by my shop and we can go over your potential hours you'd be working, as well as all the paperwork the bureaucrats insist on having." Kado said, offering Miku a business card which had the Eclipsian Florists address in the Musutafu Shopping District as well as a phone number and email address to reach the shop by. On it were also the details about the shops opening and closing hours, which were ten in the morning till eight in the evening.

Miku listened to Kado and nodded. She smiled "Oh gosh, I shouldnt repeat myself but thank you. Thank you for everything" she bowed a bit. After that she spoke "I will ask my parents about this, because they are the ones in charge. And well, the teachers as well. UA can be quite strict with all the villain shennanigans"
She was so glad she did not have to rush. Besides, this is a nice plus. She can get a part time job and earn money for herself and the family. She took the business card which had all the necessary information on it. She placed the business card in her pocket. Miku then remembered, she did not introduce herself at all. Actually none of them did "Oh my, where are my manners!" she offered her hand "My name is Miku. Miku Hajimari. I am a UA student from class 3B." she politely said her name, because it would be weird and awkward if they had a whole job interview talk and yet not know each others names. Sure the lady remembered her from Sports Festival, but they cant call eachother 'plant girl' and 'plant woman'. She wanted to learn the ladies name as well. She cant tell to her parents that she wants to work here, if she doesnt even know who would she work for

"Well parents like to think they're in charge and know best..." Kado said, a hint of bitterness in her voice before she returned the smile. "But best not to shatter that illusion for them just yet hmm?" she suggested with a chuckle and a wink to the young female student. She chose not to touch on the subject about villains just yet, given her "side-job" as it were. Best to let the young lady get to know her first, and see if she couldn't get her to come around to her way of thinking over time.
Oh if only she'd managed to collect this one when she was in her first or even second year rather than her third... So much easier to mould them when they're more impressionable. But for now, she'd make do with what she had available. As Miku formerly introduced herself, Kado smiled and nodded, taking the girls hand in her own and giving it a brief shake. "A pleasure to meet you Miss Hajimari of Class 3-B. I am Kado Nisshoku, owner and manager of Eclipsian Florists." she replied with a smile.
A thought crossed her mind regarding the girls surname, but she decided she'd cross that particular bridge when it came time to do so. If what Kado suspected was true, then Miku was threatening to stretch herself thin between her time at school, at her florists, and if she was correct about the last names connection, any time the young girls parents have her spend at the gym in Musutafu.
But it definitely made for something interesting to consider since the girl had said her father was a crime fighter... Something that would definitely be brought up should her parents come along to the interview in a weeks time if Miku accepted the job offer. Assuming of course that Kado was correct in her assumptions. "Well, I hope you do decide to come work for me. And who knows, this summer job could turn into a year long prospect if you want. Hero work allowing the time of course." she mused.

Miku smiled and said "Pleased to meet you miss Nisshoku." she spoke "I will check with my parents and let you know of my decision"She did sense the earlier undertone of bitterness. It was a hint, Miku didnt know why nor pry why. She just made sure to get home to tell her parents about this meeting so they can decide if she can juggle school and job in her schedule. Between UA hero classes, regular school classes like history and maths, apprenticeships, art club and training. She needed to check if she can fit this in. Miku was enthusiastic about a prospect of work.
A flower shop seemed nice and right up her alley. But she needed to see if she can bend her schedule. Her very busy schedule. Miku wasnt the best organizer, she always needed a bit help and she was also a bit... whats the word overenthusiastic? Overachieving? Basically she always wanted more stuff to do, especially stuff she liked. But sometimes she couldnt have all the stuff she liked because thats not how life worked. A flower shop had its pros and cons. Pros is that she'd have a job and money. Cons is that she might lag again behind her fellow students. And she worked so hard to be seen as equal and not as a delicate daisy. It was a difficult choice indeed. Miku wanted this job, but just because she wanted it, doesnt mean it would be good for her in the long run. Indeed, she needed to hear her parents wisdom
Miku smiled and nodded to Kado "Thank you." she said about the how the summer job might become a year long prospect. It was a nice thought "Well, I am sorry if I am cutting this meeting short but" looks at her phone and the time "I do need to go. Thank you once again and goodbye" Miku said as she waved the woman goodbye as she went to her home to tell her parents of her recent encounter
