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.”

Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”

On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.

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.”
