《Return • Todoroki ff》Chapter 10
Advertisement
Like always I was rudely awoken by my alarm, signalling that it was a start of a new day. Crawling out of my bed I walked to my bathroom to get ready for the day. I decided to wear a black and white cold shoulder dress and I paired with a pair of small diamond heart shaped earrings. Grabbing a black purse I walked out of my room, closing the door behind me and walking towards the dining table to have my breakfast.
"Oh Akari you're still at home?" I questioned when I saw my sister seated at her chair.
"My shop only opens at 10am," She replied as she took a bite out of her bacon.
"Oh I see.. Shall I stop by this afternoon to purchase some flowers for my new office?"
"Why not. What flowers are you looking for?"
"Baby Breaths," I replied as I sat down and started to eat my breakfast.
"Okay, I'll reserve some for you, I assume you're coming near your lunch time?" I nod as I continued eating.
After a few more bites of her pancake, Akira left the dining table to put her dishes into the kitchen before coming back to the chair to grab her bag.
"I'll see you later Niko," Akira said as she gave me a pat on my head before leaving the house.
Niko finished her breakfast not long after Akira and she placed her plate into the kitchen sink before she walked to the main door to wear her white flats. She opened the door and left to Todoroki's car.
"Ah.... I need to remember to give him back his car keys," Niko mumbled as she got into the car.
As she was driving to the main office which she was supposed to go yesterday her phone rang. She grabbed her bluetooth earpiece which was in the place where you were supposed to put your drink and connected it to her phone before placing it into her ear to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"Hitori-san. Are you on your way yet? There's an emergency here and you're needed."

"I am about 10 minutes away. What happened??"
"The hero which was supposed to endorse our product suddenly called off the contract and there's no one to replace him."
"Continue to search for replacements until I reach the office," Niko said as she ended the call, stepping on the gas paddle she sped up.
Within 5 mins she reached the office. She parked her car in the carpark, grabbed her bag and ran towards the office.
"Thank god, Hitroi-san you're finally here," Kaito said when he saw Niko burst through her office doors.
"How's the search going," She asked as she placed her purse down on the desk.
"Still searching. Also the finance department reported that the branch store down the road has been making less profits than usual,"
Niko furrowed her eyebrows and replied, "Are you sure it's not because of the lack of customers?"
Kaito stood up from the couch in Niko's office and grabbed his ipad showing her the data of that branch store.
"Ever since they changed their manager early this year their profits and ratings have been very low,"
"Arrange for a visit to that store later today. Do not inform the manager that we are coming we will act like normal customers upon entering," Niko said as she looked through the data in the ipad.
"For now continue looking for a replacement. I'll try contacting some of my ex-classmates," Niko stated as she passed the ipad back to Kaito and grabbing her phone from her purse.
She scrolled through her contact list and without hesitation she pressed on a name and called. She prayed that the opposite party would pick up.
"Hello?"
While I was looking through some documents in my office, my phone rang and I was surprised when I saw the caller ID, Niko.
I placed my pen down and turned my attention to my phone, picking up her call.
"Hello?"
"Ah Todoroki are you free? The hero who was supposed to endorse the new product for my company suddenly cancelled the contract and we have no replacements."

"I have to check with my sidekick but I am pretty sure I am free today."
"Great I'll see you at Hitori Inc. at 11am. Thank you!"
"See you," I replied and ended the call. I got up from my seat and walked out of my office to look for my sidekick.
"Suzuki-san I am free this afternoon right?"
"Let me just check real quick.... Yep you are is there anything going on Shoto-san," My sidekick asked.
"I am heading to Hitori. Inc to help endorse their product. Inform whoever is needed," I stated and she nodded.
I walked back to my office to continue with documents until about 10 am before I left my office again to walk to Hitori Inc. since I lent my car to Niko.
"Luckily the company isn't that far," I mumbled under my breath as I walked.
"Good news! I found someone to endorse our product."
"Who?"
"Shoto."
"Oh is he gonna come over?"
"Yes I told him to come over to Hitori Inc. at 11am. Go inform the departments to prepare the documents required and go get the studio ready. We're gonna finish this photoshoot before lunch," I said as I stood up from my seat to the finance department.
"Got it," Kaito replied before leaving my office in a hurry to pass my message to the rest of the departments.
"Hara-san, can I get the reports for the branch store down the street sent to my office?"
"Okay I'll give deliver it to you as soon as possible."
"Thank you," I gave her a pat on the shoulder before walking off to the Human Resource department.
"Ito-san can you deliver the documents on the manager from the branch store down the street to my office?" He nodded and I gave him a smile before walking back to my office.
"Hitori-san, the contract has already been crafted please look through and sign," Kaito said as I entered my office.
"That was rather fast. The work efficiency in the main company is impressive," I commented and took a seat as I flipped through the contents of the contract.
"Change this line and this line and bring it back to me," I said as I closed the contract and gave it to Kaito.
Kaito nodded and took the contract from me as he left my office. Not long after he left Ito and Suzuki-san came into give me the documents on the manager and reports on the branch store down the street respectively.
I thanked them and looked through the reports until I heard a knock on my door.
"Come in," I said, eyes still glued on the documents.
"Hitori-san, Shoto-san has arrived and is currently waiting in the studio."
"Oh? That was quick." I glanced at the small clock on my table and realised that it was only 10.55am.
"I'll be there in a second meanwhile tend to him." The employee nodded and closed my office door.
After I finished looking through the documents I left my office and walked over to the studio. When I entered I walked towards Kaito and Shoto who were discussing the contract.
"If everything is okay I'll need you to sign here Shoto-san," Kaito said handing Shoto a pen and the contract.
Shoto glanced through the contract and signed it before passing it back to Kaito.
"Hitori-san, we need your signature and this contract will be valid."
I took the contract from Kaito and looked through the contents before signing.
"Let's start the photoshoot now," Kaito announced and Shoto was immediately ushered to the dressing room with the outfit in his hand.
About 10 minutes later, Shoto walked out dress in a white blouse with a black sweater over it, black pants with a belt and chains.
I didn't even realise that I was staring until Kaito waved his hands in front of me.
"Hitori-san?"
"A-ah yes?"
"Are you okay? You were spacing out," Kaito said handing me a bottle of water from the cooler.
"Y-Yea I'm fine it's just the heat," I replied taking the bottle of water and gulping it down.
I thought everything was going to go smoothly until the photographer spoke up....

Being a book is not a great experience. Can I see? No, I don't have eyes. Can I touch anything? No, I don't have limbs. With any luck, someone will pick me up and read me, at least. Hopefully sooner than later...

Zeroth Knight re: Dawn
Isekai, fantasy, with the core themes of Identity and Fate. Story contains a, mostly, lesbian cast. Updated twice a day. Evangeline Sayagawa makes the ultimate choice at the cost of the ultimate sacrifice: She decides to leave her world that she fought so hard to return to, and return to Arsea in hopes of saving everyone. Little was she aware of just how bad things had gotten. The world she was returning to was cast into chaos and on the precipice of being destroyed. She awakens in this new kind of Arsea, after having witness the end of a dear friend. The world now belonged to the monstrosities of old, the Beta, and their corrupted human warriors, the Eld. With her fake identity, that which defined her in this world, being stripped from her, she now has to navigate a darkness in which not even the women she loves recognize her. This is book 2 of the Evangeline Sayagawa "Zeroth Knight" story, with book 1 being found here. The first "chapter" posted here is a hyper-condensed version of volume/book 1, in case anyone needs a generalized refresher of events, or for those who wish to start with this book instead as it is faster paced and more action-packed than the first one. Suffice to say, but most of the details from book 1 are lost by doing this; however, enough of the more-important information is present to allow one to understand the general idea of what is going on. This book features a mostly lesbian cast and deals more so with fate and crises of identity more than anything else. However, there is much more action in this one than any of my other stories thus far and brings about the end of Evangeline Sayagawa's story arch... sort of. I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: "Escape The KNIGHT" Share the story if you think it's good. And please rate some stars and leave reviews guys. It will help encourage other people to take a chance with the story and get to know this wonderful journey with us. Also, a friend has made a Discord for the "Zeroth Universe" if anyone wants to join and hang out to talk about the stories, theories, or just general fun chats with us! https://discord.gg/f3Bc4TR Follow me on Twitter @Ozefen0 to stay up to date on my stories and what have you.
