The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAMzmlKJ9tDH
Izuku: ‘Where…’
233Please respect copyright.PENANAwGi0jd5c8w
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
233Please respect copyright.PENANAQtDM0piP1x
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAkyvU1D9w6v
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAxccNapvxas
Izuku: “Great… ”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAQK1V8dJeTK
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAeTFZ4vPZRt
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…? ’
233Please respect copyright.PENANAfNOgM2qNxU
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAtat4IloVVJ
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
233Please respect copyright.PENANA338b8PuMve
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAR8kR1S1Moq
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAuaJEIio32A
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAzL1l81SewE
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
233Please respect copyright.PENANApXXdfWG5GL
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAfVUI1EzmP5
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAdZbkNHWN4U
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
233Please respect copyright.PENANARrquKvH3Hk
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAGaLhXR8ZDy
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
233Please respect copyright.PENANAG8DlFxPTZA
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAoLCjJ8FHRr
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAyJwPvySeWI
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA5CXEAEJwZ1
Izuku: “R-Right.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAZNyHdAxlVT
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAGmlLRmeRbt
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA5KQTYjgM0J
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAmJyhjFkiNm
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAw6y9R7CsO2
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA51UMCn0ELt
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANArzEQGWK0MV
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAJUO9i9iVhM
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAN53bU2WHr4
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAZSdkmK6Fq2
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAE58omOXtVs
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAlwaYd6jTlG
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAyaU9ZqQioR
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANARHscqvLC7u
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAOFYZDqn0aw
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAdV5k5SEFPi
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAOp6R6jgDOP
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAMdmtG9vkUx
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANARR6X3kHSoy
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAE2or2x1b7z
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAHm1H69IxGy
Izuku: “I-I see…”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAHvo3uQiKjx
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAjlSZ28DOJx
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA4XbnyvVM7I
With that, Momo removes her hand.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAhb444QHMpm
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAwjPC2rC7gJ
Izuku: “Huh?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAsVsQC8fUig
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAGar6f2CTe3
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAT7rh14ewR5
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAp8JcdAMHb4
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAT9jY4WvhvM
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-”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ehm4yG02C
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAdIz9Hb8gpd
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
233Please respect copyright.PENANALZS2mQtj4X
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAfE4yPt4CZU
Momo: “I’m not-”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAPTIloZ03oA
Izuku: “Momo.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAY45fO0aRWk
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAFHqFSeODga
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAQehLs2W2TK
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANARhNV1VQenv
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAeA5gmCVIMz
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAFW2ISY6bi0
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAs3k6UCB5Nq
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAnuirmYMpSt
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
233Please respect copyright.PENANAq3Z0Y3L6IP
233Please respect copyright.PENANAzOD60Xr5ej
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAXODzNgFhhV
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
233Please respect copyright.PENANAGyNpPnPFiB
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAQKEE0nqU92
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?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAZjFim9xlCo
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA7vPrKgRG0j
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAYKyAyJlTBr
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAlzR8iH8F8I
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAtgwrlcKXTh
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAqiG253WaH3
Izuku: “What!?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAp8wzzGtRVm
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAhLKEYlw0By
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
233Please respect copyright.PENANAPeiaOvszE2
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANACE5LE2v8Ov
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAi9tucVzED1
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
233Please respect copyright.PENANARy6qChKY6p
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAbmc68oSoXL
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA8CJT8HvZEf
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAJMcL3CB3xT
Izuku: “Field trip?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAWILGPZCIgB
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAP7naInblX8
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAcgMpSMhn4H
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7VQeXimjf
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAz9YTcWiJUH
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA7su8MfY7h0
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA9hQtzur5NN
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAQysKltbJEX
233Please respect copyright.PENANAQyC1bTkWMn
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAsDyaTjulk0
Darn her sympathy.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAZo2OzEqBup
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANASo8b5jm1Ig
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
233Please respect copyright.PENANAxNU4Hi8bI1
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAh0MNHzwX5S
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANADpdWRGfiJE
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAqBu7UkciZ5
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAt8vJzj7B0K
A slight twitch.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAcBIW0nNHWo
Kiri: “First names?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA685pnDaNjb
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAq4Zy7RXBD3
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAilp5f0nmgx
Momo: “I see… ”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAz33KvlvUnf
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAqoorCA9Whd
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA0lcdPSnyzZ
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAEORFNmiodR
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANANTYNCloJVh
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAL9a1eBK7Yr
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAKrNqXU3DvY
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAQHMVrt9Qld
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAp7vXsxe2sm
Kiri: “I know.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAQcVbLxjj1Z
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA59YXf2l8D8
An intake of breath and another twitch.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAUNgzdAZB8Q
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA9e94oYCpUw
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAu8GkWUBtOk
Kiri: “You-”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAQDIMpGG2Iq
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANABRKqWy5TK9
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
233Please respect copyright.PENANASqnPmfIwzv
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
233Please respect copyright.PENANAbbl5DPnNDS
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAcmPQxavXKF
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… ’
233Please respect copyright.PENANAB4O2xQS4Yx
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAF3m5KFvFX7
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.’
233Please respect copyright.PENANAhcxKHTYKHs
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAox5Zoyz2Yg
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
233Please respect copyright.PENANAsB0frPlqva
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANANdBrwIoJqW
Momo: “Field trip?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAl8gXSvSC2W
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA3wzI3SXg3x
Tokoyami: “How so?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA3JgCwL15aQ
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAiwSuOSXASA
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANABjPEjsOuqN
Kiri: “Location?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANARM6IZbJV1j
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAPm54bVhHFS
233Please respect copyright.PENANAgQksgZ96S7
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
233Please respect copyright.PENANALVeIJIkyEC
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANABklJeWQyQW
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA9xJpoMxumU
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAh5dAL8WJNy
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
233Please respect copyright.PENANA7xo5oY8yep
Alice: “Are we too early?
233Please respect copyright.PENANAWxnI3Bjrzh
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANANjoAwa0h4c
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAIcuLcOSpKo
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA5JCR5YLwf4
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAA1BShY2BNL
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
233Please respect copyright.PENANA1hxSZ4K77S
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAWc8W3UguyH
Lily: “Cool…”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAqNpPu6lLBT
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAfhKr5dnVLw
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAvNd48cSJEN
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
233Please respect copyright.PENANA2S54E68uZ7
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAWrnDTwV8Be
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAcXkCl7pRJ3
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAeLpuAJlHxe
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
233Please respect copyright.PENANA1kBn3cfCvP
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAO3pC9k5QVw
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAtYNtGtu389
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAposF12zKpB
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANADjSDz6XG1s
Kiri: “Nh.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAnyOJaExSpt
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAU9I0npXnD3
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAh3O1JQey65
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAVNcZ9YUf7Y
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA1RS41LJWvm
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
233Please respect copyright.PENANA8k3VOBEGFJ
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
233Please respect copyright.PENANABwejKxPXS3
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANArxuzZuK8pi
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAgT6BAX8aj0
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA1wSs3j6JHV
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAjgS7D1EvdN
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAf2P2RXIpjT
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
233Please respect copyright.PENANA6fJIVwSjOI
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAIo3Yi091ol
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAxEqD1V99G5
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANASDqjTfMhGJ
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAvOiKRGqBsw
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAbkI4AwAd7c
Gunhead: “Roger.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAYsUlCe9Uar
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
233Please respect copyright.PENANAKx9JWb64Rg
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
233Please respect copyright.PENANAOMfyhX2dSj
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
233Please respect copyright.PENANA31guZ5OcGl
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.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAIXETXGv3fm
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA98UxZ76wwP
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAHLW0V3ktKh
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAiemzamD2p6
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAEYiPI527NN
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANASBqqN3mYCN
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA6SWfWB3N8r
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAzjaypddMAF
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA7X0EgP8XSH
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
233Please respect copyright.PENANASZzvANTzJu
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA5ziAB6EzEK
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAGWFWYgTN5y
233Please respect copyright.PENANAn8vlntixbn
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAnNC3gaytGZ
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAbfQhkj0JTJ
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAyoS3Gh8yDD
Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAm7CqQ71kWl
The killer opens his arms, as if to embrace the city.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAbgckPAvIJn
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?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAM7lCjLTuZv
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAroS21H4KKS
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA41eyrpksvt
Azrael: “One with a message.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAqyybqnCJXU
The man scoffs at the notion.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAgvO21ZwNsc
Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA7zWUO1LGsN
Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA1dVvcFbAIT
Tomura: “Oh?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAPv6hXULjfl
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAE9sTxs2J9q
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’!”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAQuTRXSQlY9
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
233Please respect copyright.PENANASWSKKPLLF9
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANACNn8clppRu
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAJoBDsK7Bmi
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAy7lOUexuDt
Tomura: “And why is that?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAwyetzZ2zfd
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANANmj09U7Rcr
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAmb9I9LAL0Y
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANABhJPVEHqeZ
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAoGQjCO74ep
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANApYphahfmbZ
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAtI5klAhWlc
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.”
233Please respect copyright.PENANAND1ofH5Ftx
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
233Please respect copyright.PENANAI267yDegGU
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?”
233Please respect copyright.PENANA395c7v9bSV
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.
233Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bt6u4h9c7
Tomura: “Level… start.”
