The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAEUVB8rsf38
Izuku: ‘Where…’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAAKT1ZIelCt
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
89Please respect copyright.PENANAJbNNMLk4fI
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANApoG7P5Dw8t
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQusJm1nV3w
Izuku: “Great… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAyO6GrZgnXQ
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAWNvtGlCTFm
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…? ’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAEFxb00a4am
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA5Cn070vQeE
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANACpvJZGllDV
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAX7IMjjtcuj
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAlQIMiK0dZ9
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAVWFwZaC0kD
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAToz359qaiP
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAny6GiXZCIR
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2eP0lausf
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANACrlVIyATSj
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA4lcx3pDNLz
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
89Please respect copyright.PENANArNzojKBN3u
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANASmk1S9THi4
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAsfwyEv5W8Z
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAEeaCkgOgIg
Izuku: “R-Right.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAFC8rWTlZAw
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAjrEd4fGqWI
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANATSvP12GZtA
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
89Please respect copyright.PENANADgp7QjdXem
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA4EVo8zlRO3
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAiIwhStYT47
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAnVTaJkVk7R
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAe59Rf2DWlF
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQs6kUFdDEZ
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAGTC8ygTOMc
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAjlfomyKsuX
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAldfoGD5fT7
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAfBxxfpszJg
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA2Io6gVNEIt
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAWyXmhkIVww
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
89Please respect copyright.PENANANUju0YFQIy
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAB23Ix839dp
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAFxoZU04bdL
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAs97tAaIEUI
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAwBRa1uZQg9
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA8MRUvToh7b
Izuku: “I-I see…”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAReb5FbCKVu
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAGz2IBYGaq6
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANADThScJWeyK
With that, Momo removes her hand.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAjtAepwoT1U
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAGJoT5hgJK0
Izuku: “Huh?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAohojSC5a5o
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA07qasxyhVM
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAlOt2fTQBjN
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAFPhLmN9eWN
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAbrXOky2gXY
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-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAgNeAmbQCU8
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAJzkFEzrKT7
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAAMwl7ttQmN
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAU1mC6ZVvGi
Momo: “I’m not-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAvlnpNTTG9Z
Izuku: “Momo.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAhAwpNtgW0B
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAyxnsacoKOe
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA1fH9KZ7hHS
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAmyga0AppvS
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAwGipC1CyKo
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAJenCcEmwS9
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA0f9RrGfi71
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAmt8Ed96Ylr
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAWz3VywW2SE
89Please respect copyright.PENANAHD0Etopwnn
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQo2JrbTXce
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANA0It0HJLyHj
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQrBtpD2N7y
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?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA2b2I1Byqzu
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXu5gtfCeNp
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAlE6goKHf0g
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAplSglT1Uf0
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAdVCC2RDm9y
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAzc83wfA4xJ
Izuku: “What!?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA0fQ8Xg6qRj
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAuxkWXOskK3
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
89Please respect copyright.PENANADaT44uV6RB
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAAySPaVK7uo
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAcswAnztpIG
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA5OqbdoMtZO
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
89Please respect copyright.PENANANaew1Ofitr
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAudtWYJMEcq
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA2GEC6xzE41
Izuku: “Field trip?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA36LCQdGzF7
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA8nCz3XkGyY
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA7keitd9UFI
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA6Rf104rxF5
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAJgNT1kfWnu
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAsGmYX4lBCr
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANADJFBrdqoYI
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA9b07TtJVCX
89Please respect copyright.PENANAYrR6HxsLmP
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAYbhbXRea7H
Darn her sympathy.
89Please respect copyright.PENANACMrvKl9wf4
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA3cckhb87bB
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAcXtrZx3z1e
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAFZLcTIPVGl
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA7WbUB9XbDB
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAO1ZWyCA6GF
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2elcIm7mi
A slight twitch.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA7MhzMr6jr4
Kiri: “First names?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAvYMMWPxHhQ
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA8fakUQJ0Ie
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAykrnCTqnF0
Momo: “I see… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAP6jOZ9GPz7
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAByHjdIBray
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAY3m7ZKxkST
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAReweskVaci
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAthkxd8VwZp
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAfOl9aKXsx8
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAFos6jqH5ze
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAAV2EhByuOV
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANASYRssOGoCo
Kiri: “I know.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA9TpMhD9DvN
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAwhDU5lExGr
An intake of breath and another twitch.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA2K6x6Khijc
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANACCqeq6mCb1
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA3dkO1LPeVj
Kiri: “You-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAkPLUc5MMCu
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAFtWfhZeFon
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
89Please respect copyright.PENANANR4YtkhAuq
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAxe8n1qHNn7
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
89Please respect copyright.PENANALsHVtNHgFD
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… ’
89Please respect copyright.PENANARg2lI4WObn
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXjh7yPKaJ1
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.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAaCQTVn9DCk
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA5mTdm38AYx
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAwP7Ewx5Dmg
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAEgwXtIMnwM
Momo: “Field trip?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAur7YnkEXQr
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAgaIpIJ3inW
Tokoyami: “How so?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA6uINHXJ4qo
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAPxoyt1YV0A
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAokmd11S1gY
Kiri: “Location?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA6oUYW0QUEn
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAkoBy3kmQPf
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXsvZcNpbQk
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAy1RHOzG08C
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAKFQygRorgs
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAKlD9h920oG
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAIy1JDVZdcH
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAwBBZXPXLkC
Alice: “Are we too early?
89Please respect copyright.PENANA4NlOmBM8R8
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA54yUmW4LER
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANACcnkoQ88DV
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAEsvA0D3BPx
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAvbvZ7IxAxr
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAxI1slHKObv
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXBKI0eZ7Yw
Lily: “Cool…”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAHlGGmaUyA1
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAWKM3MFFsNt
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAVPbzKRBUV0
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
89Please respect copyright.PENANArtlx0OTShO
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAm3omEhwoAB
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAIRnjT8nAAZ
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAHmpxBzaIaT
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAy2ZwnBFn2u
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANArddc5iQ7IJ
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZQn2v2UABu
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAgtrHwNnXej
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAqg6XSnfS8l
Kiri: “Nh.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAGsrWXFWPrw
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAC2JWLC7eeW
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAT9IzD3Wuzy
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAPksH18TjAI
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANANm0DprohXq
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAzLJkFYUZeL
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
89Please respect copyright.PENANA7KETOipU8f
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANADjglKLBq5V
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAex9kewZGIw
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAaJfrzAAzFO
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAJRC962usZZ
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANABjpYyBoBSt
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAmx302Nii6N
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAYnVGnmQGIK
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAKi4M2qzoc6
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAVfjwxVMKlN
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAPkeePOsgCn
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAKg4wE0yix5
Gunhead: “Roger.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXwbeJi16kI
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
89Please respect copyright.PENANANZd7MoMmEV
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
89Please respect copyright.PENANAye2IEVdYN0
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
89Please respect copyright.PENANAYJMRFHKWhL
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANABDRjdqDSUL
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAHzZ5LiDowL
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANACGUVTwkaDu
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAPZa8FYn7I2
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAUIKRiH5VYj
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA1QqSUmwwvz
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAPt3OoUTLcu
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAMfiKHIoT65
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA6jG67cYYHG
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAkR2QohgRKQ
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAgLwynvEkGr
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAlzMfiqVq5l
89Please respect copyright.PENANAeaovOUDWB6
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAW66AQjk2x3
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA5YhlWX83SR
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAO0pT5errSV
Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAVGTNdKvKou
The killer opens his arms, as if to embrace the city.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAfIBfQVeWkB
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAVnMIn7mXx3
He jumps off the roof, hand grasping his blade, ready to rend the weeds from the trees.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAW7hOaIzPUl
Tomura: “This is your second outing. What have you learned?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAym5hCPbec3
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAm0XQlzZWrH
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZuBGJm2GHg
Azrael: “One with a message.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ9jYw2jhV
The man scoffs at the notion.
89Please respect copyright.PENANARkHMw1kySV
Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”

Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA8yZbiUHZzE
Tomura: “Oh?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAsE0OJ5t2J8
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAtQdnmxrbMV
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’!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAbNsldwIpWQ
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.

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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANASCeFjDjbYJ
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA4PFPnB2KrR
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZkRSUEjqwg
Tomura: “And why is that?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXI9FvRxiqk
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAcORkbxduAp
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANANZQlHNkwOr
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAX1CRV3zhGw
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAb1ADUqd9nh
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAmL7aAKUnqp
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAc48kTGqlIz
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.”

With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAjUnzOXeFRr
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?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA1OOJtWYumc
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.

Tomura: “Level… start.”
