The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAdGhn9vLyPw
Izuku: ‘Where…’
257Please respect copyright.PENANArZmY4dfqkS
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
257Please respect copyright.PENANAlyd5ugFHxN
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAKHsvrl4Qjt
The girl he nearly gave everything to was missing. Her warmth was still there, soft and inviting. A few hours within wouldn’t hurt. But he still has internships, and he has to explain to Fubuki where he was.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAlHY10RiZrK
Izuku: “Great… ”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAkEJQcFnF6U
No use moaning over it. He reluctantly exits the bed and rediscovers the bathroom he used last night. Freshening up, he accepts the small change within.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAMJfTLtpTal
Izuku: ‘Sure, I want M-Momo. A lot. But I also want Kiri. I don’t want to make either of them sad. Can it… be possible…? ’
257Please respect copyright.PENANAO0RYhMAznp
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAXyIj1h7elQ
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
257Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ5ntEnx7K
With that rationalization out of the way, the boy goes to the living room and eventually smells something cooking. Following the source, he is blessed with the sight of Momo making breakfast in the kitchen.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAKErGFE0RTB
Her hair was down, and she was wearing casual wear that perfectly emphasized her soft figure. Sensing his presence, she turned around and gave him a smile worthy of the greatest wife award.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAAz7AH9jY3A
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAMEzwxFObkM
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAp2wi1UWayB
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAzN2Xs65azh
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAzH5unh6ZZ5
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAP7SGXX137o
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
257Please respect copyright.PENANA4HVjQhIldL
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
257Please respect copyright.PENANA4McF0sb9lH
As Izuku thinks that, he looks around and finally notices just how quiet the house is. He’s gotten used to it, but it’s still strange. Considering he might actually be with this girl, he might as well ask a question he’s had for a while.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAtxiUJLSdZG
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAUrwS7ZYF9V
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAYdmiOZMvCs
Izuku: “R-Right.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAkgpc5U9PbK
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA4JYiD6qRhv
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAwEyix8rnxH
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAMFxiqMSDx0
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
257Please respect copyright.PENANANou8JIqxcW
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAz9Ab2298Ch
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAZsIwjPWhAr
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAv4ihcIEAJM
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAADSLM2z0PJ
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAs0NhzCDh97
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAvPCq1iV8rp
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA54KwoQNjIh
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAs7DBWnVMnA
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAWbTe5nCAul
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAXLtoL1Hpj5
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAd8GqO7WLZU
Momo: “Izuku, this is the first relationship I’ve been in, and I want it to go right. I want to take it seriously. I hope you’re the same.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANANXtJ514g7s
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAcJOm3VomjM
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAXmEWym6s3U
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAtE1hjcfXR3
Momo: “Well, Tokoyami and Tae came back to the agency really out of it. Considering the fact she’s very similar to Dark Shadow, it wasn’t hard to guess what happened. I suppose she has her answer.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA0rbvjRl5lT
Izuku: “I-I see…”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAaslwoetqng
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAQhHpVU3eO3
Izuku: “I do. It’s hard to explain. I mean… how do you even prove something like that? But I can just tell… when we’re together.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAfXWoRklXE7
With that, Momo removes her hand.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAl6rku0rioS
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
257Please respect copyright.PENANArvyH2W6pX7
Izuku: “Huh?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAtPxzH71vmr
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
257Please respect copyright.PENANA7clMT91kfo
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAlaqHto8Hur
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
257Please respect copyright.PENANALaWXVTC7O9
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
257Please respect copyright.PENANA7RzdJst91E
Momo: “This is why I think it’s unhealthy. You two are codependent on each other. More than that, there’s so much else wrong with it. You’re siblings, she’s technically not even a teenager yet, and-”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA4GFgF9fYOr
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAtEdrWPx5HZ
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAda3fk5xEtB
Izuku: “Listen, even if we… start d-dating, Kiri will always be a part of my life. She’s… like my other half. No matter what, we will be together. So I would prefer if you two got along instead of fighting. Don’t let jealousy cloud your judgment.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAEfWFKyVAhR
Momo: “I’m not-”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAqUzAHwE0re
Izuku: “Momo.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAE4wHOMEwxj
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA4qicMVZRWJ
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA7hC40QHCtT
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAxkx9OjqNgT
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAq6KgVYwYwq
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAvjySmR2IJV
That signaled the end of that conversation. The duo ate their food in silence until it was time to leave. Despite the somewhat awkward conclusion, Momo was still able to give Izuku a goodbye kiss.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAryhVIp47J4
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAvmvlrkU4iE
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
257Please respect copyright.PENANALzowNcsM9a
257Please respect copyright.PENANA7peHimyUQY
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAYc8f4o26ce
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
257Please respect copyright.PENANAEmJ13iblU0
After a few teleports, he made it back to the Blizzard Group, and his sister wasn’t happy. She was at the front with her arms crossed and eyes narrowed.
257Please respect copyright.PENANA3awsBRReRE
Fubuki: “You said you were going to get some extra training with a classmate. I didn’t expect you to stay the night, though. Should I know something?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAABhIWusvbB
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAiXCaoTOlYy
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAvFGi25l3Xp
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAEPTg2OD5Xv
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA05yuWhaWfu
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANANWMGwIInNm
Izuku: “What!?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAIZpQYeRgsB
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAiQwtfgXQcL
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
257Please respect copyright.PENANAkR4SSDAcSM
Fubuki: “Okay, I’ll stop teasing. I won’t lie, though; I’m a bit jealous. I guess I’m the only single Midoriya. Not counting Kiri.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAhCj17rbZqv
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA6mEjluWqkg
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAezcwgs1f09
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAF0JwA6kyQQ
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAYD6hXuZPZo
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAmUhelnjWG5
Izuku: “Field trip?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAfmdwSgQ6nO
Fubuki: “Yeah, you need to be able to patrol in different cities if needed. To adapt quickly to new environments. While we’re gone, I’ll leave Eyelashes in charge.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA875HGjB29B
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAd4xVoxK35C
Fubuki: “No, much to Akashi’s dismay. There was a small outbreak of quirk beasts a few cities away and another earthquake disaster. She was the only one that could make it in time.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAX8rGQXQ5Tq
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAKjLSll7AqY
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAeefedUqIhf
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANACbOZSPgdH9
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAytCEErWgeI
257Please respect copyright.PENANAfEhbk9mQNV
Even Momo had to admit she was worried about Kiri. She knew the news that her love for Izuku might be fake would be devastating. But it was harder to watch than she thought.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAa2ZMlTJB0f
Darn her sympathy.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAWE4DEjLY4S
On the outside, Kiri seemed fine. She went through the motions of ninjutsu training alongside Tokoyami and her. But it was more robotic than usual.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAhp7zLqphqk
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
257Please respect copyright.PENANAQbRM8f2ZVM
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAfZo6PI76jy
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANADdncldDAwQ
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAOL88utdv0J
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAVjgmuJ0Igi
A slight twitch.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ2GyJsnb2
Kiri: “First names?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAgpz2ZmVARo
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAR8t71JxkGm
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAKQx5oRQKik
Momo: “I see… ”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAiuilTnGQTa
She should be happy that Kiri is a step closer to backing off. But darn it, stepping on someone’s heart will never feel right to her. Her mind can’t help but see herself in Kiri’s shoes.
257Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZZFyLhyWi
Momo: “Maybe… he just hasn’t come to an answer yet. I don’t know what you said to them, but I’m sure it was a lot to take in.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANACicCr48E7D
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
257Please respect copyright.PENANA68OIm0brsN
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAXoDiUAVlXj
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAAJn07EPWYz
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA7oo9m4cYqO
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAVC2NCb857j
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9uj91kBKo
Kiri: “I know.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAiAtfkqon18
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA2rL1viyMWW
An intake of breath and another twitch.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAKL2ofDsjwR
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAg38ISCawFf
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA01rPVakBOZ
Kiri: “You-”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAaEDENXxQEf
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAbOutdKGupQ
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAScN1uqA0M4
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
257Please respect copyright.PENANAvGBio4n1iu
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
257Please respect copyright.PENANA0BhFDTsL0S
Momo: ‘Someone I knew was in pain, and I wanted to help. I don’t hate Tae, despite everything. I just want Izuku to stay with me instead… ’
257Please respect copyright.PENANA53rcXNTCXd
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
257Please respect copyright.PENANA9B70VYuq70
Momo: ‘He’s right… those two will be together regardless if they’re dating or not. I’ll have to accept that and… try to get along with her. As long as she’s willing.’
257Please respect copyright.PENANAGDzZG7sg0D
With that in mind, she finished the shower and joined the other two back in the dojo. Kiri was still expressionless but did seem a bit more lively.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAGmQj62XOT6
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
257Please respect copyright.PENANAK9WMFEh3Jy
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAnqVmanWHF3
Momo: “Field trip?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAPKeICUq0lf
Edgeshot: “Yes. You’ll need to be able to quickly adapt to new environments and learn how to work with new people. You’ll be on your own as well. After I take you there, you’ll have to rely on your skills for this patrol. This will also be a good chance for you, Tokoyami.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAfWJRymVMSV
Tokoyami: “How so?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA92lkpWgEqO
Edgeshot: “This patrol will last till the night to test and train your stamina and stealth. Night calls are not uncommon. You need to be ready.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANABEIkEm9WSm
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANATVjLpSwMae
Kiri: “Location?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANASp0trZAnFL
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA9hqf2Fmpx3
257Please respect copyright.PENANAI9RukkFVjH
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
257Please respect copyright.PENANATtc0qcGRPz
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANACgH6ueVRG6
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAHQD9EOi4xX
Fubuki’s group consisted of Izuku, Kaoru, Alice, Lily, and Mountain Ape. They were all in their hero costumes. Alice’s costume stood out as a nature-themed suit with a white and green color scheme along with an orange glass mask. Thanks to Izuku’s suggestions, she had several pockets filled with different seeds.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAkx95ExY1S9
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAXB6WSLPA0m
Alice: “Are we too early?
257Please respect copyright.PENANAjkvYdyq0ry
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAyulvTxIyDP
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAOyPKxnygIX
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAaX8evRwgt6
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAey7J0UC6oW
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
257Please respect copyright.PENANA14bUPLVsGL
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAvVwaZwwRM9
Lily: “Cool…”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAl7SU3xq9Js
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAdmMoAyb07v
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAuouLUBF47k
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAZhQ2Uy2uxw
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA9phHzIdsGU
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAa2S8wVEPzO
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAOgrsK7qELk
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
257Please respect copyright.PENANAfT7NPnxqD1
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA0oLeYZywHY
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAyECqNMNBDl
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANABXznrGGJCN
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAYZPvdPRHvT
Kiri: “Nh.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA7q1pSVNTMk
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAtxYbhdf6Xh
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAIW7bBRvwGY
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAHvclPUUkxP
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANALRxVHDRJ9a
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAu934SOdJzg
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
257Please respect copyright.PENANANBJnWc2Gs2
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAvaTcrzUCmV
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAopTE9k1XO6
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAa1JKb7TqSK
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAf27KTYmp5T
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAUa0wzRxsVQ
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAoieOuxZnbY
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAmljKDHf7qH
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAVtGPAZdo0N
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANALl3w1pM4mf
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAewWXKfkiCD
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3cb494Ml1
Gunhead: “Roger.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAH6Xy2smRPv
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
257Please respect copyright.PENANA8jrrvWt7Tg
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
257Please respect copyright.PENANA9Zq5KjjAJC
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
257Please respect copyright.PENANAJZOYfgYjcy
Kiri and Momo couldn’t help but give Izuku the side-eye for having two cute girls other than them at his side. He didn’t meet their gaze.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAYdnrD3wvuY
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAkEoOpBhObp
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA8DNZIZysKN
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANACnUthhxywE
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAVDyCpJ5orE
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xq6bB2LA3
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAiVjX6Kscjj
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA6UqY80Jxoz
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAVZqfS3Ycy2
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAzNWABSGQCI
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA7DLKLUPja4
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAgvgrA7Mdyc
257Please respect copyright.PENANA7yvpw06S7n
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAp0DE48ggzS
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA2r7Jw7yRbE
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAYL7PS8tP1b
Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAjrbOmHPAh0
The killer opens his arms, as if to embrace the city.
257Please respect copyright.PENANA0EaHqwyhlJ
Stain: “The title ‘Hero’ should only be permitted to those who have achieved great undertakings! There are too many of them… counterfeit ‘Heroes’ who worship themselves or the almighty dollar. Follow me, assistant; we will teach them the error of their ways.”

He jumps off the roof, hand grasping his blade, ready to rend the weeds from the trees.

Tomura: “This is your second outing. What have you learned?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANADjQEZ86f8U
Azrael: “He’s as talented of a fighter as I suspected. However, we could take him out if needed. His quirk seems to be the ability to paralyze those whose blood he consumes. Duration varies on blood type.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA87lFd5zBHL
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAcSxTpLbpAd
Azrael: “One with a message.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAgtZBnw3loN
The man scoffs at the notion.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAvlDmANRbKZ
Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAXzgPOpg9rX
Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA0zDsMIpwSc
Tomura: “Oh?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA2F9ge122Tb
Kurogiri: “The reality is that in all the cities where Stain has appeared, the crime rates have fallen. Some critics attribute this to a rise in heroes becoming more aware and on guard. Simply, an increase of hero activity.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAyJhvnlTRq7
Tomura: “Wow, well isn’t that just fantastic! So the more he appears, the more heroes crack down on crime? So the ‘hero killer’ is also a ‘hero breeder’!”
257Please respect copyright.PENANATLn57uMBBl
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAnoDBh1yR6i
Tomura: “As I thought… at the root we just don’t get along… annoying. If you want to kill, then kill. Those ideals only get in the way.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAfiJkOJaz1Z
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAmjJxN0NMpe
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
257Please respect copyright.PENANA6pukU7c6Jw
Tomura: “And why is that?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAyU3ZXK7S6p
Azrael: “If Stain won’t work in our organization, and his goals only serve to make things worse for us, then I’ll kill him. But not before he explains to me what he saw in me.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAeN9NGiaEQ4
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAm05NCtIB50
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAImbTvhKh6B
Tomura: “… Fine. You and the strategist did manage to acquire those big quirk beasts for us. Wouldn’t want to waste them on him. He isn’t worth it.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA8tGK2LdV1V
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA2MQRXBAWNb
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAgxXvN8k5wu
Azrael: “Right… he’s been stuck in there for a while. Well, try to relax at base while I catch up with Stain. I’ll call if I need reinforcements.”
257Please respect copyright.PENANA7wIDBxt4rl
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAx8tl93REoR
Tomura: “Annoying… I want to crush the so-called ‘hero killer’s’ precious pride and prestige. Killing him isn’t enough. A few Nomus wouldn’t be so bad, right, Azrael?”
257Please respect copyright.PENANAybMsdBon8e
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.
257Please respect copyright.PENANAagpQm0Mwlb
Tomura: “Level… start.”
