The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJTenyJSkp
Izuku: ‘Where…’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahEvck0m95
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK3KW5qM7v
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzJ1UOFdrp
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtMLJquYci
Izuku: “Great… ”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEold8sDM8w
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIg5KXfxsN
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…? ’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHEI9QejJk
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFJetKmd4q
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWENc1Js1Xs
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIq15tNFmH
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOvdIRctY0
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pIHZdLAlQ
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAAH1fW5J0
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymEeHH6aPj
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqcmZFDydu
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN3FVWL4CQ
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvBGL4YSOm
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0n6uTMagk
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnigtT9BBtX
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7A649iBEA
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa5QB7A0zh
Izuku: “R-Right.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfLsBsC7o6
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED3TeyrmT2
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDdeBENjHx
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KQlIj5gvW
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfo2cXz46X
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaU09wDxUT
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCn7qTftpQ
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOv3nD3Qwb
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36PUMK1Iqh
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhRWRcosS3
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH6euEfXLz
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs9euGgqFQ
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfRzNX2EbC
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaa8twQCVL
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH9NnGaZRZ
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrXfOra1ta
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA0WZ8ZT2B
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAniBXcFnjF
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu6hx3h2Tz
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcHN9nYtKq
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0kxGiKV7n
Izuku: “I-I see…”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp29VEVlIdt
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI6qZD2s28
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUxcpxQsww
With that, Momo removes her hand.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7T8kBdh1o
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjUSI7RdWx
Izuku: “Huh?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjASlWuCoj
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPorLltKVU
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd6cadL3hF
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQtEXh9ylM
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxS25Pc1CO
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-”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ5xQ18KoD
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBUbXxPuRd
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75BuuqT3vI
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzh33REh6p
Momo: “I’m not-”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbODcogmwqN
Izuku: “Momo.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUSYrOx7Qi
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATjnGB8GjL
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNztQCoFCI6
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50PmCCuGE3
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlM2TeTF7F
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtT3TfA7wH
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQA7bIcRWU
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zblnkfjBV
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExRuerxJwo
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuX9EeDcYG
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTK8C8pDhj
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGbTWhsUa6
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcocHBSuzfk
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?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iINh8nSLj
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvZlRssGDk
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4DqAz4jEc
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYe207cWYp
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbIY5v05aA
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiNOiXGXWS
Izuku: “What!?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQzy7I8Jz9
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbMV8oT39t
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSmjlkPuUT
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l7yLrGD9o
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROUU2DdtNf
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPAdKNv20e
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdofvL6tcj2
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMDlJYa9By
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf3gfSmhSq
Izuku: “Field trip?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrvkEe4ZHr
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Se9ewKGY2
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHCOJuH0dG
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuYplnFUGD
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1kYk83iFz
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pVND3IUPK
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioNa4QNdLi
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46HRPXbbT6
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6g1U1XRAj
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrX5ZsYDUU
Darn her sympathy.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOSZr2qgEC
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdla06Rm22b
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkjN7FyUqh
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyBTNwespx
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDFkbGzfOP
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVqb95YHlc
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡower8gTWUP
A slight twitch.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ouFncK6V3
Kiri: “First names?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyv1uR1y8n
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l9RT31mNZ
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucf3nVtZUq
Momo: “I see… ”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxACR3D2mCW
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32afAeAy4b
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHdUR2zKJo
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBSq0QSBhG
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0jIhdKjb4
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOfhU1LKae
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAJkVluYzr
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnrgOUeutF
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ujPQBy8o
Kiri: “I know.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HJf4oTccr
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7nM279Myz
An intake of breath and another twitch.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8u4BJhiql
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVYw9j51bw
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0adVDwRrGF
Kiri: “You-”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwINXJastAZ
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfnVZmEeId
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6KkiV3ysL
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBG4W6jVZy
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXPlXIkSaM
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… ’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKeJasLki9
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FPAEq02Tu
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.’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPPWDRSsR8
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KBfaAlVDK
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPLpFToBrg
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV6FYT3xif
Momo: “Field trip?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5XxsvUKUw
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlcZC3i8fp
Tokoyami: “How so?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbSrMIWq8A
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvecpODolY
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVf5FvLU8t
Kiri: “Location?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND09gY8Inl
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE5PGu4Ymh
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w8KRIBDUD
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3El3Z68rpg
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp04n1bhJf
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt4ZGL6RgB
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIep8dAAUp
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxGznpS8VQ
Alice: “Are we too early?
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfTx0j9wtO
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaJcB692xR
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GT10yMOnH
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kufWj0N5H
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2pexNsH4V
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELEbHlXOfP
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDZrXcfOmD
Lily: “Cool…”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg5RwjBrTo
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrlP6vqcLk
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZLVU3SMYW
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc66AAergj
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77nshnEkGC
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNj6jWH5Ey
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuJnIFkU3U
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY38rVYh4x
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXCwja9osc
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eUm33NtdV
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenjO2MQJio
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNOWjvm77n
Kiri: “Nh.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7kaT6qZmw
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yXyCBIf81
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCzJgCHOu2
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3WG2yvZ7P
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CZH3mtyvD
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUyWCCepbP
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrD3OfgDEk
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lBrx3jEv3
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZDcVPB38A
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKIcJFQdwn
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIS4lbC91o
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonsiQ9AtlW
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90pb97VuVV
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1neOWk00r
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnR31AXKMk
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X6TVXWgMy
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCZOWeWMCd
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtSOqkAKIv
Gunhead: “Roger.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9tbYskxzd
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KhpvWiFEd
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvlkf8JeWk
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT3pc2O65f
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.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx84ZqK3yS
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBri725jqzK
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyloPywvM3z
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhqkF4eEKz
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmvjnt3poM
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1y909QL6Q
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcInY97zxy9
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboyueTMeRl
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JF66M94GD
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsf5gOJoKi
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLDh5BINmV
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmlSgWkdhS
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURoyHrNMvd
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVIK6IsPmg
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv44Q2yhyVy
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PcgiVM5JY
Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0lZjzwJdN
The killer opens his arms, as if to embrace the city.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lyT1sMTDu
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor34XPSQpV
He jumps off the roof, hand grasping his blade, ready to rend the weeds from the trees.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWWyommiOz
Tomura: “This is your second outing. What have you learned?”

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.”

Tomura: “So just a tool?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTvea1TK7k
Azrael: “One with a message.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEukrKZCBtE
The man scoffs at the notion.

Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”

Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNlzlMFUgz
Tomura: “Oh?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLLqPgvFMP
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHenJp8H8Mr
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.

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.”

Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0i4JCFXmA
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9329oVXn92
Tomura: “And why is that?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtURMtzPxkq
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2SRLEsjyd
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHMLkp2yWj
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1qfL1KGLv
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.”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qd1L1FxX2
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrqCcq1B9a
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvFYRDRPfJ
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.”

With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunftVQI5RO
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?”
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCozfcOoaMp
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.

Tomura: “Level… start.”
