The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAqIu7saRXxi
Izuku: ‘Where…’
157Please respect copyright.PENANAUkqcljulh2
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
157Please respect copyright.PENANAf34XDRzGE7
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAfS2VDN3XiT
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAVhyuqwcWiB
Izuku: “Great… ”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAoXjHVN9em7
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAJKInaJ8EHP
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…? ’
157Please respect copyright.PENANA7FNdKuKq3W
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAHvMoIMGd2p
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
157Please respect copyright.PENANAlTeE5ToNkd
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAJPItfNbqdz
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAGCpViNM4ji
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANALbyGD39QFq
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAVWxNnV5724
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAK1kTNDRI39
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAiZkT8ksk0B
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAaTkkl2MHoP
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA3W0XHcYEyr
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
157Please respect copyright.PENANAbsogYKipwi
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvwbYnP6bb0
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAlfMk8urHee
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAz9nN9uYvD3
Izuku: “R-Right.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAM41rit963l
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAmAvuMLs0WY
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMLGYzsKBT0
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAclmsMm2DU8
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAgFjDj5phi9
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAFpQRhBc9XZ
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAW90TFc7DZc
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA7c0P1kJFKZ
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAfDm79VPNHW
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA7pGqkx8uON
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANANWENieHpvK
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMAznw6x4Po
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAzIFxIEXKhL
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAsKeDyGJtGK
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAISGWiQyf3p
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAhvEPSNiP6k
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAI97ERjB3hp
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAxRiwJJkQ97
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA2QFaPsz3ai
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAWf5rgS72uY
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMGj4rI596u
Izuku: “I-I see…”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAmq6X6quRc8
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAB2yfec7eL2
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAsh5jTiSb3I
With that, Momo removes her hand.
157Please respect copyright.PENANApMHSxUzcgu
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAtUHKxogwbr
Izuku: “Huh?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAzSxDcUQYOO
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvYt7jwCNsX
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA68KNBREhFu
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAa8oIvDrj7C
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA8bm0xMRD2D
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-”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAXtBVzi7HJn
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA7hgbHhK8pF
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
157Please respect copyright.PENANApxBgY0ua9Q
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAKjAxq3kuU6
Momo: “I’m not-”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAUgepozmHzD
Izuku: “Momo.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAviTJnrt9b3
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ1i1R6NAd
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAxj5zmynDfF
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANACwNoFmCoHD
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
157Please respect copyright.PENANADnsOaT0ey2
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAaPxdjyQacl
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAlTW34GFOv2
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
157Please respect copyright.PENANACyEKBdupcj
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
157Please respect copyright.PENANARyyK4VPXeo
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMKTQRhMQHt
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAjqnHcOqZm1
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
157Please respect copyright.PENANAPArxSHno9C
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAyN7jhj0550
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?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANASVNVj0LOHw
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAZdzZ70pm54
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAQQfASoBeIv
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAcFlNmoZAzO
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAVLKbSYL53V
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAEnrhN31TYm
Izuku: “What!?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA7EFlTYQcQX
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAgVM5sn098k
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
157Please respect copyright.PENANAwHDloP7XCZ
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAu8YZ6qgqPl
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAFrREHOTTU5
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA88VHqmb7NN
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAHv1KGJ4k5S
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANArqMitl4N1V
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAyl36eVzgLB
Izuku: “Field trip?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANALBrrdN56WP
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAJVCaXay4Da
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAycZLhcSCwq
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAplkoaohq6X
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAtCr27I92hN
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANARiP9KgBaob
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA1dY9OdnXKb
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAh6ixV6NgHd
157Please respect copyright.PENANAbjJ48oq74s
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvOeQntVCgc
Darn her sympathy.
157Please respect copyright.PENANALY0gd2VUrK
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANATLi6nRgahs
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
157Please respect copyright.PENANAqLyUiWueN9
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
157Please respect copyright.PENANACZolfzzaPx
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAOgFirnuOGm
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAah4L7kBcmw
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAbl9jrE5u7U
A slight twitch.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAqjJbmVxyyp
Kiri: “First names?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANADxYmrLglue
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAwSvt9K0hbJ
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAcRMKUQixCD
Momo: “I see… ”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAb0l3yOZgqD
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA8RK1mtDYc1
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANARmMaaVIOHG
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAKo4PB8s2sb
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAlZz9KlPyXF
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAybKTb2K8SQ
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAD40GossJ5N
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAcKpnsO5xDq
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAdEgfQs20to
Kiri: “I know.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAEVna9Dh6yL
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAQnWvBWa3Jl
An intake of breath and another twitch.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAYH8IkbbNyj
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAsUXDStTgll
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gtry7EuAv
Kiri: “You-”
157Please respect copyright.PENANARJpflb3EbQ
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAepgVS6Y7Sq
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAN1wmUWPiQy
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
157Please respect copyright.PENANAe69cBROAGW
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAr1uI0puQkH
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… ’
157Please respect copyright.PENANAogVx4e1u3U
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAK0GteCosZv
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.’
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvD4CgN3l2Z
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANANCcntqlqzR
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
157Please respect copyright.PENANAWnVoSCYqeG
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA1KSYMvTiL3
Momo: “Field trip?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAOISFCuw537
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvR91aif7ia
Tokoyami: “How so?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANApFnRZxKF3v
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA88OhCTPSJi
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAd0vTO9EdNn
Kiri: “Location?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANACXufa9rRA9
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANApx7qO9DAOe
157Please respect copyright.PENANAReU1co1gr6
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA57YOJYF4J7
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAP5m6LKwrZS
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANARAdWsURmRN
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAkv7xQ5tvTd
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAXbMeUn9J4o
Alice: “Are we too early?
157Please respect copyright.PENANAzPuEKnqRrE
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANATQHNiIPhNA
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAbmWien3Qn9
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAjIWc8tWzC0
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAlNtPbeXyIk
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAY6jVDfkMhT
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAzLZ8AuNi8A
Lily: “Cool…”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAqj2PAxWqHT
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA7jcLIP8DUh
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAf0OYNbs4Rh
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAkE1j7U8Ygc
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAStUg9MeY6W
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANALyC1v0EqIv
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAmo4vyZpEnx
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
157Please respect copyright.PENANA6xFWYVzenZ
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANABnFFkOTmUJ
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAm59FmYC1E4
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAEMIzsiYRtw
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMOO4jNMGWT
Kiri: “Nh.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA8W5e820f0B
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAuupXSspqah
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAPSeIB6grLp
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANADZ2Vl7UbEp
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA4CE5QlZ7Ob
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAfAeukY7u33
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
157Please respect copyright.PENANAQN2PqINjPZ
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAVniLeYvwQl
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAInEuAlT9Vf
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAPcpJgXLkbb
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAPGCzIlJuIH
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAru8pGefXiR
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAuCCHygOc3G
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAnd1yis8wSN
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAz4V9tsB2Pb
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAujUchS7tdU
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAAR6Db3ZGRX
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAfKa0fx117P
Gunhead: “Roger.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAqOt1w4f4fL
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
157Please respect copyright.PENANAFiFsXCsttU
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
157Please respect copyright.PENANAqEP8bhXZxx
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
157Please respect copyright.PENANA9mkFGJ0zqQ
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.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAuhTvHnI26j
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAowZiJkrp4X
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANARyg6GBdeNR
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAXbSmuggPCU
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA2tJWBPJpsn
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANARWu60X64v8
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAJAbILVuipV
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAs6baDiv2gX
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAicBTtRAfGi
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAwnPDSVAFRb
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAUwifxYwAfI
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAY20jBZh0VN
157Please respect copyright.PENANA7K83v4TfwC
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAdPAHv44z1M
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAUNUx496YPT
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA4U0n6OefJg
Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAbNGeQ7FFQM
The killer opens his arms, as if to embrace the city.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAc2c8WMzXSm
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAXGzoEogsvQ
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?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMcvj5y7x6u
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAeyhzmMhSLe
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANABd4M76UglO
Azrael: “One with a message.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAdXSG8XqUOk
The man scoffs at the notion.
157Please respect copyright.PENANADNIodMSle2
Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAi3UCBvOQO3
Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAW9q1gGlySe
Tomura: “Oh?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAzu3ALpT5i5
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA2WEaaugs8l
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’!”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA9xvhgtgMIK
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAyIbn1IqBps
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA1HeensJJVt
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAmw3BJdLfQP
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAywblHWKTOE
Tomura: “And why is that?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA2UIh8NXteF
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANA9kZbEZfhGQ
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAGMPdoVbJhd
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAyssBGg6bBW
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAlEO25PMCYW
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAlnBcnl0sDA
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANACm5JICBvDE
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.”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAye3kvbG8pN
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
157Please respect copyright.PENANA52NVHHgjdo
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?”
157Please respect copyright.PENANAhq5U9YJHRq
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.
157Please respect copyright.PENANAgaMAxWOb1K
Tomura: “Level… start.”
