The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QlNVl4W6Y
Izuku: ‘Where…’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjAAQ8DsRU
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjYJ55kxEr
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjvUeIYKY4
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6qXhxoDRY
Izuku: “Great… ”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2KGo2i3gH
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqi9OgSoLe
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…? ’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SiiKfuOcF
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHM6p13wkU
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEmY6mNArX
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SrNzAcpa0
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRixyqGK0c
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqH8MCioy1
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39o03XjPbC
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx8t7iYbdY
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd3rES21Ao
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSgFO99hTb
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H9Bq4nwcz
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUEIMgJiz6
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl9H0zfQMT
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquLo38KBqs
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHsT86XXvd
Izuku: “R-Right.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4gbuczvfa
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLArNh9pIRq
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ4H629hwm
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzmSoPtNzZ
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JjIKJZj1S
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5szyEFslD
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlHEYAkWKQ
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsRfuddYd0
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hX8VUmN2c
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBNVySkk4Y
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡods8wBFcqw
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A9hhCz0Ne
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGguPyoJNN
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm78UEMHz3z
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpiVFwEXFY
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5mZT4FH2k
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn81LCmo4N
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGm4EopxV3
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWLF2VjEWt
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2zPF5Gu8b
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KCvbuEWt3
Izuku: “I-I see…”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMcAsZu01M
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS4t2vFEJs
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHwkJeaxoK
With that, Momo removes her hand.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby2Onyg7Td
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ysWGhpl0F
Izuku: “Huh?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftX7BjVEF4
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGFVu3TAtn
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm1OFC8q5l
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHEnccPNiR
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuKpviG7Fi
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-”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwDIcBURX4
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcav7aj1yqu
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkf21clR3j
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGBnhXDpQZ
Momo: “I’m not-”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXsVD8viuh
Izuku: “Momo.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH7r5CQHoY
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGNzb5l6ko
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKFeBMsxXU
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IIoL6ytQq
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVIU5IYrFx
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAXyGxoHLd
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp9B7o8u7n
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCPEPXGVFd
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU4V5hFUAw
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMBDWpviqG
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGbxjU974X
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSPUogGnJk
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWxAT0YGBH
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?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmYdTjD0gT
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy68DaCS5Y
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBh8VWArFB
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8jbtfuMUF
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VvRXc6Z2b
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSl9Ty9Cke
Izuku: “What!?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tiqLWWiuk
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar754tokzr
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao66H9otX6
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSrg1CdV0N
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBkLYdFGPM
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ9IteG95n
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r31Cf7EIk
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KUfAuDvxB
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP08St2ktqt
Izuku: “Field trip?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkVy0Di1vA
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZBKzAZjne
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9fJ1B7nvl
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLUX0UTM1F
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBpHILmL12
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYtcFtgSkm
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz6RUWdoEf
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W1nwNr7tQ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPauT4X2lP0
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2ImUMoFlx
Darn her sympathy.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2XS5Kqctd
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyThPUbOBGa
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkqumXVzkd
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP60rR4qni6
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFNGvwAjjw
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw4y4WQU3z
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMDoR3jej1
A slight twitch.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi0VuWdocd
Kiri: “First names?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWtmH0VemO
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL36sfazVeI
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIkyvjdJuA
Momo: “I see… ”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvpjg6COb9
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiJj7u4fy1
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOH5cJ2ybL
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wHaU2Cb9F
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0n2BlzqXJ
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYfwR7ka41
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL5exRuBmp
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqkoA9h0AW
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIOp4S1srn
Kiri: “I know.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmEqHQPJXw
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSObvv2INF
An intake of breath and another twitch.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPQgwMBWPq
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseDXiXXX9x
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz5Nr9UXiR
Kiri: “You-”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjnxiuODyu
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL7IGzjcht
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S7Hua9dJk
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATwHnB3KQI
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfqR5WUObJ
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… ’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqBjF07EEj
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre4WpqQdus
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.’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDtHfG5qGf
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVft7yB5cT
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVlelIFLSE
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMaW0vFhKv
Momo: “Field trip?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzdo5psrZH
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5w8MpJlXG
Tokoyami: “How so?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrieNv7pSZt
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHub8GGd0AJ
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCPUzGNqeG
Kiri: “Location?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqvexbqy5i
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RvvPbcIIn
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEjHt9aFzX
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDFMIS3BTP
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS8BzRx9Ei
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdZLMaAXrg
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp8AD7Pe4T
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdCnhMXgP4
Alice: “Are we too early?
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9cjAFMtIe
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiZ7qTN9Vp
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZdAwS11u5
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5HehlN39K
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObSG11D473
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTmEUknIh2
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMExT9yPrg
Lily: “Cool…”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFHJRoDjQn
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC89lOH3MtM
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVBlJ6d0EM
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO7kbepLmv
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJUvatSRrr
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33l4ob2YPv
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0iS0knqoh
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQsyUUacm2
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2i9nJEyG7
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLGy75dPBz
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPzSX34vJu
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICEQKMXb26
Kiri: “Nh.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKwiCI5IUi
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzPuSzFfyY
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8ZK4Jac10
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr07FV9owrY
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZJyoVGOyy
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX16kLnqAFy
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLZ3PPwCh6
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyX2k7EZ79
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h9DuOmzem
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLciJGRxrz0
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRELMRyNTOT
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86i4ls9488
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60DcwF6hiE
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSutttHmiuY
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg2a73Z0pM
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrlNclB8Wo
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw7kKi2oMw
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70L3wLaWxc
Gunhead: “Roger.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy7cqjfqmQ
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4tN6Ocgo4
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFNCIVxy1I
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisp3eMgeRX
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.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0WeI5sBi4
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui2rilQQa7
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4be2oQgXiW
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiCVkU7tWv
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymiAo0G2nb
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ptoJRnGj1
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBh06a9xkd
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegIRQ1aog1
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH6pBNIyeK
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo8kQfCL9w
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKHPfc8JZB
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSUNXLaJUI
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgp0Ik4iYl
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoO6ME6dFj
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgB866pWND
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”

Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sXuinpaP8
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?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHxPXG5oIC
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgYqOyO2Ax
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A5rfXZSaL
Azrael: “One with a message.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQL76Jmfbr
The man scoffs at the notion.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR1u29Sbde
Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMuk9KfTNj
Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXrbxat7rs
Tomura: “Oh?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hkYXQDY8V
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfw09CBuZc
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’!”

After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNryYdyV2qf
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnazYrMYgB
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtIVCDZURV
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZfzaKPvpr
Tomura: “And why is that?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFwixqbyPK
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLUoIGu9hZ
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZwjh3hjNA
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcspE92Q6N
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQqJLRNAiZ
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIw6R3oMZc
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLXHXzIFAr
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.”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI4Akuakxa
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIlNJds0Ud
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?”
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXuloWY3hE
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.

Tomura: “Level… start.”
