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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNRmv1alrP
Izuku: ‘Where…’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ex8D3Pj9D
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNoL3L7mpD
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR35QvPNCp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarSnoc5TWh
Izuku: “Great… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYptXxjSut1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieBVXIwHDx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIuedyBmfp
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6io0RYzcpF
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSlkOZpBDf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Ns9LRR8U
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtvreTLHdY
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lsdUg9EBL
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH87MTR8CF
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICPPcRBP3K
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bz3rVnVS0
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSFwQRWtu3
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVnKbAvqVo
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWAftHvCNo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9G1Or5mK1
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCSs9mUUtX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ996RLQEPTg
Izuku: “R-Right.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vtUx9eTic
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGsunyF5cz
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn6nlK1q3E
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuXbdS3pHg
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oeorqI4iN
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooKpjjGGUj
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYKv04eO6V
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbzUavwkfj
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BMLYHO6Ba
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqhxwATXn2
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrlHQJwALL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuUN9l6asF
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5oN5GNcf6
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4HWyMdvjK
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lqQ1SfJVf
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TdAnmEX7h
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bmD65cZSM
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHLLhv58hl
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJpeBwTGxb
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4avDOtlkWQ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVUkhL6p6G
Izuku: “I-I see…”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKMsT2DY4U
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa85Ge5ysRd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiF8bPuib1
With that, Momo removes her hand.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp06eowUgtt
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Ppu2DvUc
Izuku: “Huh?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeETKafhLZ9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHwKng38hP
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuMD2TMUYb
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp51P1jftd
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3roc3XcrD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3fRbAIOjM
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluWk6y5R60
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjRyieaiA9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yZj4YSYs0
Momo: “I’m not-”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbUyulYzSU
Izuku: “Momo.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm73eOEKbY
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5erM7EHox
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdGf869Ou5
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv16tc45Aa
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63PRU4H750
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLklzWbZMCJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr72RC5HVb6
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX9KOOIBDe
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZc1dg4gQX
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXO5yvTg6H
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DapkR3JIv
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcISv6rupJ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurB9Dwgvc4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTatWbt2W3K
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JJ0tsrbq4
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqDmEpz4yc
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4eAvXaI5B
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84VoAetfSP
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkMyTfClUF
Izuku: “What!?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8icsGOpBlf
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCunhYQcQZ
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN9UQLmj2J
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnkDJLefTg
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp4VMbFwFl
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgRBu3FHf9
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzk6xPXRxM
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdI5Lkpm4I
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciVTYtRzbs
Izuku: “Field trip?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIUvOOViMw
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG0dtayasX
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx43fHzvQ8Y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNpawMPh2C
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwja0kKaFq
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TCeS7Y51V
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDUd2g2F8U
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p48LEmZVt
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BCPeBn6bS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngdD78Vu30
Darn her sympathy.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6rG112340
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6OxuRuDGw
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEncatAlck0
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4eZYyoiX0
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1M70rkkXw
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvO9YDwZBL
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOmWrNRhvq
A slight twitch.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagRPECI5Rd
Kiri: “First names?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp5gZZ6Hcm
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrIUL6jxq4
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcBsDKymAo
Momo: “I see… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvfN3jscE5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52BidNk84e
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaCYevY0Ui
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJfB92yqxN
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DCcLJ7bAm
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9MDMsw64v
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfsLMfxRIj
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWZIZk1XVi
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGGDY4bcJz
Kiri: “I know.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6oBCxEZTe
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6xx7xXclF
An intake of breath and another twitch.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMUzjfghPS
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLcFm9wgk8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RtgNETVoY
Kiri: “You-”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22cpz7vMYX
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffVCUUEDUX
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2wmTHT2we
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4141QsbkO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclYsloDrL0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHlDU76WvI
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4qZ9opRoG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw6YQXBsjn
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Dyqjgk4h
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7dgjHxZDb
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ8I4GY6yV
Momo: “Field trip?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9P1oJigh4
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QjyIMn2no
Tokoyami: “How so?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9uIT0zYJd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV4YHAnxKF
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MmeQoyDs6
Kiri: “Location?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq4c1i4Ksc
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nd32KVqHY
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPTNhSimh0
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqxyDyAwaK
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nUy8qi4xd
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah74RJaxzH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zYvmMJqQn
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEjA1LnX49
Alice: “Are we too early?
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwF1VXhCLx
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDwVokrakR
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAZVoCFlJE
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FNQyPmpdu
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYSNfd1pNa
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE15ylr8ICU
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Jbe0lLrb
Lily: “Cool…”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtYLPKDPVJ
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByOYVeIJUI
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVQNa85Lsz
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJkMGl5SE4
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1opugqnJw
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY4DDt7Dlj
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf2RiwIu6I
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPEBsShab8
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJsmd0Wahd
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaBxyOTBp8
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgHR30KCD3
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YFrCr7ucP
Kiri: “Nh.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fjobfhT5F
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2qh82E7AB
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyHqqtVs9Z
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwLT1KG0NP
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaKDaDJ5dA
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qfFVueD1C
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jlCzUpY5z
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5eiIVVu9o
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cOKLGkc7i
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFHNlzQhgV
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHovqxT3gY5
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HITalfL8c
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBS6R7pU2C
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4rY9PmS3r
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCazGeKBEx
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6iCOXTUX3
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG4eANm1pB
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQyGCFKr1o
Gunhead: “Roger.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe73cbLndyV
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO31zM7UKTK
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvYnDrEkt0
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9vPC19IqT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5iR3izJ8p
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZff9qbDUS
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDr9qK8ago
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fkI5QsjqZ
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhfGyJTAsk
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEKPmGpKds
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSmdYpISCa
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTjjgVXcTm
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM08EMm6JTR
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxau7y5X3M
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNQefKFpn2
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h5Yxe9OAy
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5haZN8hZI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rSq2gffa6
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN58aadSay
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxBezMdXDT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrtb0EGR4s
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK52Xoc1SSQ
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUqFPkBShO
Azrael: “One with a message.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwt1DpGuZD
The man scoffs at the notion.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEivZ2N3Va
Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4s8axkClI
Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XfvlmsHSc
Tomura: “Oh?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlBiOlnsc3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIF8RCAKii
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jvLqYMo5s
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmyG0aWOPX
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqogNwKDBt
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEyb4ekumG
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM04NFWskNo
Tomura: “And why is that?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe1uT8H1HA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKFnrshm7a
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjI328jsGe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNR6ErA1XB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEONHjtMBN
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhssfv0qEr
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnKW6FnW0P
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSJeq6orVn
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWVthR71HD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRurdSAaXne
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.
44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CZlE57Yer
Tomura: “Level… start.”
