The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WCj9Zko2X
Izuku: ‘Where…’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0YA3mmJeS
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF2L0K3qWH
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcCtUoTXrs
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKA7YkVGU2
Izuku: “Great… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4CQJDPWSc
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2F25pEwVg
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…? ’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCwlu12BOU
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAzPpLR0by
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWyzLh1lGC
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELOd9CjSWL
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jl6AXbt1I
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDKph2hhio
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwyiX7RZ2R
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ymcUD7CZD
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrttmuHVfb7
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZujwCBGoG
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMfnBWRMgk
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs68rgt4JLF
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQNO5TBpGN
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JVozAqbzX
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMHh6Y5nGm
Izuku: “R-Right.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff1XUb01au
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGwy2zr5Oc
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd7iDXd03Z
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rt8fmiGUJ
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0F2RP8q5D
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnDrzrO1Ju
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerZlEoPBiD
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXe9XRMgP8
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vmEaMpZQG
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPdDu2iXJj
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r2HGcQJNs
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6iHkVmLZ9
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdIP2MJBIm
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jMJmhU7E3
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq2dISJRLf
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PALxOfYM5
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnljXQc6nh8
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSarwuyucC
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVodjaIrZG
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJkku8FNM6
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1KqC17SWw
Izuku: “I-I see…”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1uIisVJWz
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfNEoR2IXi
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSKxzTVyZF
With that, Momo removes her hand.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKWiofcha7
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiJwJutnxz
Izuku: “Huh?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwc5wbetPO
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXIkwjW4AF
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pHGOWQhrI
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKVcgzorh7
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSyQs9lbtq
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-”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY4hQGvJK3
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlICqGkouB
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxJ9gJc9Tn
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ayjIQM2fN
Momo: “I’m not-”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFCdnuRl8d
Izuku: “Momo.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOel5c7zVJ
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV32gEm3jo
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrXyNud1K9
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vKrG7HAUB
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ1HJQYaIa
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR3Da3G9YL
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4tCfDFnQ6
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ103KhwNi7o
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvi7e6Z4R6
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ooLVljgFn
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zicBuY0K6
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ3CFzByPc
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVkfgKH4UV
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?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHHt7fqTar
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtuasrH5Te
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7WNWOD78K
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0nGyP8sco
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu82YMTixT
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjfqwuTjr9
Izuku: “What!?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJss1SqepPY
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou5FnJb3VZ
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ftQT7tCl
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlil0ovf4H
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh9cLt7KHy
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTuJn3XuTz
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFojyRdcBQB
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBKEUSzH26
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozteOXXgt1
Izuku: “Field trip?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4PQGnmZpz
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChqPam9oAf
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCUPieOh1J
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB7LMElUnO
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ646n0MFYRz
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrReWZaK8lp
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEZXCIL4EG
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObXXjp5srz
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdjAEregxw
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNtVbVg6wi
Darn her sympathy.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzJR7nRMnJ
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy8LR7OzCU
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijT39Tq4L0
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9h7oFfCS8
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtE0Np5449
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1iLYXGJnN
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZkoRSgfa1
A slight twitch.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkbKxg2kqu
Kiri: “First names?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7h7cOaaNo
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FX78GiE4d
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0yXjmHbrz
Momo: “I see… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwDu3HI9al
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOVhTeYUeZ
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI5RnHmOuu
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg2ytUdIew
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5EaSuFCzP
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAQz8Vp3Ks
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQMDdXNmhe
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSllbwe6vJc
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiJpL1Pj6P
Kiri: “I know.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Mw7ysCMP
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstenc2Y76g
An intake of breath and another twitch.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdATC3mHlH
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRlmzcXimf
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYSQQ0xJp8
Kiri: “You-”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPShJqP3LB
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzuswfR5It
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5oxjLIdHc
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XJ7YmlZXr
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXWhBacHAR
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… ’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR4ODeI6FL
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiSF4LuN22
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.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9gSc7OWhS
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRedF83DG4u
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7AWzB5r01
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb1hT7lJOP
Momo: “Field trip?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuoGMGzc98
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pm6uEutwg
Tokoyami: “How so?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7cUIGcLWn
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVhGr3j8Tc
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtWl7IlTra
Kiri: “Location?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIsD3UdR0M
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyJMrucsvL
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG5Lt9jG5R
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabWV0DhuwV
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOxUfYnwp7
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf15kqmdBOU
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo9iA4OSyD
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbHWldalMd
Alice: “Are we too early?
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0pVgKiWtJ
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAj0nJMmMX
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ84KWnkDb
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fuNPyQMT5
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2XTMmeAtE
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoJ0EwB1TG
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfKRxKKDWk
Lily: “Cool…”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY3Gvg9PkX
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4uz5zLPmp
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNzdL3L15p
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOjLIHJHKM
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuggOzxqHyA
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmiGYkVzhe
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtFRQq8rMi
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbz2ZCrKDm
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyoTGw3bD7
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB1xC3AJtI
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1qhUiVJ9j
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxHA2iTYbq
Kiri: “Nh.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAHTvUTlnA
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFApsioMb1
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGej2nw6iEp
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLokbrn7Kc
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H7YDOeiti
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeqsPMnlk3
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76btkGM7o6
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW40PeZUtr
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSzOUL8fuP
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jaBS7tXtn
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDV306Xxra
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLJIg77VjP
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuBfP6owjq
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKFwC1qF9n
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PoVRseLlc
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7e8gxvShB
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaVRRPt3Zw
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0OTRkyhTJ
Gunhead: “Roger.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNJGRZ3Jxh
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFIsw71oVc
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOQWY5dIwl
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFwuvc7mLS
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.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzHSvEnI5c
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyXJaVQfBq
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjiJeajsnb
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMorGqQ3CB
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7optM6cNO8
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ7WETAOm5
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInJXMNcNsn
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1ce4LO252
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX0htr3Sjj
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd98WuYRHrA
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bAFteNwIJ
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5lMX4Tznk
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyYBEdZzyb
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4B77yjsEm
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuWTwxrCOc
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”

Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU3zKkfMjb
The killer opens his arms, as if to embrace the city.

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?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzik1BxkAKb
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO10Bzqxtcf
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuCa1og4lv
Azrael: “One with a message.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIqky1YlNW
The man scoffs at the notion.

Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5IitW1oIr
Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASRyewGMDW
Tomura: “Oh?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzAUSOSBhB
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7f5w7bOai
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’!”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPFZbFMANY
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBTmrgEt0T
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6RpFsPw4a
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ376n7xopzl
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY6qIn2xOC
Tomura: “And why is that?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEcP2YpIIW
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefC9LQ5Sv2
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiR9t5GhIg
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1XoGpW7hs
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMEa5djL8P
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmiZ4otbLQ
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNpJSNgBM8
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.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi01VxSVeZx
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzXKYP5wgy
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?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAsZotuD4C
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUECcB8Rt6
Tomura: “Level… start.”
