The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlcVwvohnx
Izuku: ‘Where…’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmevvximHDq
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcFe3nX6fI
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOLbh5JAld
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqDHqWP0JP
Izuku: “Great… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLCDSOa7hi
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL0ALFJxX0
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…? ’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4BUXealTR
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ZAO6MyxD
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9vsH9GXGQ
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqTTIjx4Hl
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLhl54pkqK
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0XveEujsd
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0X48GA5UM
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JR8jiWxCr
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDEm2GtBpx
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HdqiP34FK
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLtlnDC6Ne
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19fNEKzRSh
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdJgkKMBAv
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazVlWPy2j1
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3RLyliBlI
Izuku: “R-Right.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB8TiUIZgK
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXsKSrEs61
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Ufrx1I6d
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6at4pukrx
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRguZlXdso
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM7YAnjQ86
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6agzzCu0Ce
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW6uONLYsJ
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWLE6Fekif
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIU38IQvjC
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E4tiFvXJs
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjHLTHWCVP
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cDvvxgO2i
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkViXAZuGv
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm7hFLxYK8
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpQIcIQhsC
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVJqPaEMk8
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImcgqr6zqZ
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ej0Z5OfX4
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCii2XEf8Z
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvaChE2bTY
Izuku: “I-I see…”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStOwdFvNHN
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUJi0Q6cwd
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwMnD9BA0p
With that, Momo removes her hand.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ftBqotPt
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNxQAgZZ9P
Izuku: “Huh?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFDqrQT8eE
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rEcg5tSg4
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xmck2Wdy6
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SVzTP2Uzd
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWxXhHEQhm
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-”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDSrFG9gNr
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBKHwoPXFl
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzGXWlrvfz
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdlhhtbkOb
Momo: “I’m not-”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe024M5byGJ
Izuku: “Momo.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPueVKIEcbp
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb9BGDeM4F
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTC6yTpXjO
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZBWIPQp04
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJEDXYDNWk
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIoQGWuXrR
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdMiRGJ8bd
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJK23gv0vT
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2jMPdtL1X
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhZCUXmaQv
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wFV74xFpR
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuJ8nb0H2V
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9skKMzlZL5
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?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6P2oqAuVe
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1anxVXy5EM
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRGZ3IwXug
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxhQRfkC9I
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CbZMUp1qp
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpldvwGXaXF
Izuku: “What!?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy2sO4zTr6
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ8AmYG0p9
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0sbtlH1Iu
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ2cznWn3i
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCAxmJlTJJ
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSjrcct0KV
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzskbNtJAOn
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPN9R8mQK0
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7lLocNN2f
Izuku: “Field trip?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J3omR0RwU
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNgycuzmLs
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfwiy7WnAS
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImYdULcwYy
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuuBIzPkcP
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBNke5FYTc
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEVTJZanhT
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxmMVYbVA3
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQGi4Dr6yH
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9aTBW7KVE
Darn her sympathy.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnvZ2rg0R5
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnZwTmNR2p
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwSgzSxJdp
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdciTek3qa
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRcZRhk7lF
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0eJOTlnaa
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw16yfAoa7
A slight twitch.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4x4c7ce3N
Kiri: “First names?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ysxAFTqkg
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPQ1OTKrWJ
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uzGPAr58L
Momo: “I see… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBwatTyaK0
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6kH9WtyjI
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMQSJU15c4
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y85kXotSi
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCJPbWhkU5
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPidiDtKAT4
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrINEikAYwt
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjuFLFeva3
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEsDvGXbHj
Kiri: “I know.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDtrWKnBwz
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgrtTPDyTO
An intake of breath and another twitch.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lpCsboC2q
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS10mYFSDe
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXMamBC26s
Kiri: “You-”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DkxLVsoTq
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i78jB6PlO
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUJv3HNMab
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlefcYXCje0
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uUQJCHS1p
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… ’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3muBO7ShvT
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliGqNc3GLq
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.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9YfS7E7QR
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQQoAjhXJP
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDYfU3HaoS
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sWvXA7cpS
Momo: “Field trip?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VBbs5MKty
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQfVnlzWmq
Tokoyami: “How so?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9Emhfy2fY
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39BqAXXJ5r
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzE1cfvm6g
Kiri: “Location?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkUUi56APL
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvizrphjSP6
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr5tbHQxBu
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkhbCUjaKq
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZibEgDMUzn
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzrEWxaezA
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHNavvPtE5
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P0mB9Y7wr
Alice: “Are we too early?
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYieYB3PMo
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwV0Nb0Qa9
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNIvZOXW8o
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmqhv9YWuu
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VYzKjNNkB
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTTVdouTCi
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBVvkc939r
Lily: “Cool…”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd1NQqJR2B
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6YV5vShdi
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryirsy39zs
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiviNCwgIP6
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPtXiGEile
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKLUnIA7xO
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCooZvwQzfk
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpvqYAsHQj
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfJaNYsNST
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C8aytMylN
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXEK8HrxHM
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ueLXlCulh
Kiri: “Nh.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu6URJ4otE
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UvuqF3ARw
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQPz94L1rO
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPMbz9bUwS
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRghkDoe2S
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IueqBN5mY
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT6tTMs21d
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyFYgcy90C
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMonJ9DfTg
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtHzTtnrIy
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM0vAjtDar
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZuvYJJqX9
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMgvwDKphN
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wNnt3DC6N
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn67z9MNBGi
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YRqjON9Td
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQdDV1N5Au
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbL7FPfC2j
Gunhead: “Roger.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMTRk1y22m
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrlKYjtA4m
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJpX8uzKbu
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRLGCBUWTk
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7H0jGalyb
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDdhEZdFeV
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd5KN2iUCW
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF4VlNTiWR
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUZeGqbXf0
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVqaHRAC8U
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZzv9S2ZCn
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzFaUqupub
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz07HVYaMgp
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbPFIsDkmH
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qDOBEmHyw
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY0F8D5Bb5
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mnLDIINOM
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOVdUasrUm
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXNzSWDVfe
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPpp5ecqXi
Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”

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?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuAM3sZbFp
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkktyQT1xT
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OrBZRonDx
Azrael: “One with a message.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxV4IKawIQ
The man scoffs at the notion.

Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1vDDMcuxT
Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOjg4hS5n3
Tomura: “Oh?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uidzq2xOV
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsXDiEyl8g
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’!”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOGSpDaad8
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8lhbJ1hZC
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykSH6ooZej
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S3OKD0wvI
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDnCB6INQl
Tomura: “And why is that?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXfBKNnfJX
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UpZtPFiUI
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdYuKH1piw
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pUCxqRe99
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYtXlomYsC
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac6CTQMNFM
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh8VmzjTb0
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKn0E9Hjzv
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZWhjPkdJh
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?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbx5DJb7nM
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.

Tomura: “Level… start.”
