The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqSom35Y51
Izuku: ‘Where…’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5JLR5Hi6B
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQwQiBKxOo
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOFS0yVaA8
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAMspihvxx
Izuku: “Great… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRptlbsEK1
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu5hgpLlWP
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…? ’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpuwzvytp2
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHslxQOrXKY
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW1Vf3UkZh
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwMevcpWkw
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuC4spr0F6
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0DyRU3w9U
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkrx9cR0MP
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A0N1Fn9Wm
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRGPZRzSwJ
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivZAQT8EB3
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d4tStSJWs
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzFG40nZIK
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv95M8uVcq
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7r2HBJCLW
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx8gO0gfS6
Izuku: “R-Right.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4OvGgDDG4
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEms7rpUd9
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphLjt1hQgF
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsHCUVzpYK
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsbsmHs06e
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwhPlTOoDh
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAa7aCloqE
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhYM92znzs
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtPCv1CgAe
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekXUXLbb1K
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QOHjEuxro
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj21ya4bHT
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzobKRe7dC
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2VyVZ5gyM
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD0KCELq4B
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnR8lqRZaZ
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSRNs1BmFm
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0bEe4m3Z9
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nnjWMSZwT
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqAotjHM5N
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8iOMROpYO
Izuku: “I-I see…”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwbK6CqFQ0
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKusLxswZaJ
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj8I5bqTMh
With that, Momo removes her hand.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDe9Z8oFxV
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgCWpRCPXL
Izuku: “Huh?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QgdS9Nk0z
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiGncUcijI
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30VxO3kJuo
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Vs2FY9zX
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP7sHvlGel
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-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG4jMtvuco
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoUFpRBI73
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k1Al0jkdM
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5waeq9TJh
Momo: “I’m not-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieyqCsmWai
Izuku: “Momo.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCw0A9nqId
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y17U7dUo9
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMac0GSMFhd
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegyPhqrfLk
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO24Wqnd9bp
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6XcaswxlT
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hX2SVgYe3
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h0GkbLUbX
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrGJsewf6O
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg461XnMMG
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbJNK22MSZ
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjffNUvoT94
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxVhGvffqZ
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?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBDcn7TmN6
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs79xeJpnn7
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXPr6HAZVb
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg50bLqwDt
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGe4a4ioYB
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDRxRYNX5s
Izuku: “What!?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNcdDCCwvY
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo8kNbI9Av
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLmi5gCcre
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP5q2y4oMS
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpSAi8Rd6h
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGsCclZG5e
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrjHqYLlTl
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r1XOwirqV
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEnnrH2ZVL
Izuku: “Field trip?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAZreINbam
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A4gyQjqt2
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKIyuhm835
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwHoMOtIR2
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj1QJDB7uZ
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS8FYn6nvI
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UUPs8gmTv
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRld3xeZxII
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOenFJX11x
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4TnVkHaLb
Darn her sympathy.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Y8PyBxaD
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVAn0r7x2u
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSduo1CGJm
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUOiPpR2ac
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEjv7fqe3Q
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3vUP6x3hV
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KtCcoOVDk
A slight twitch.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tf8d0y448
Kiri: “First names?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghYxCXyCys
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeyiAAV778
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxStqCGeP3
Momo: “I see… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblYGouqYL1
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsRa9afaTy
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqqRoZ1gVR
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCxweC4sck
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWVuA5FG9t
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwW5EFxS2O
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgZVTPNb7X
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ669SdnhsnJ
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4869U8c33u
Kiri: “I know.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqf6s2POKV
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLFgTnARk7
An intake of breath and another twitch.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXmngiiu8D
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdLEFgUoB4
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDFLMjzFvy
Kiri: “You-”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6UDreWadc
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotGucjRjIf
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX3Ad3g7Yu
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEDhxqyBN4
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqd5Zvk8W3
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… ’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB52PDacK9
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwLX7wipnx
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.’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH2NnlOs1F
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2bOXI7LER
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4M0KJ4Q3p
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66hWsmhYzk
Momo: “Field trip?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMmTluaUt7
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KhX6ouSA0
Tokoyami: “How so?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyZMQKcXkM
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypVhkSuv3V
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywhh0KHlnx
Kiri: “Location?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqRzHsiSJd
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONqycEyg4M
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxFzB9Cqjy
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5IxrlDg2V
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGgN1UWHWD
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9kmnOnqt5
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqwUSTwcrN
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOwzTGBkjL
Alice: “Are we too early?
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OBjtHfxjO
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26086VBcrM
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rizyWAlxk
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ84WRehPq
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY1xBYlfKP
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTKLFDPbNx
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNafStlSlp
Lily: “Cool…”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IVJh8LOV6
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUa6VF8tDR
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfKRg4xzYv
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Arbwxg6Iz
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEZaxtZTp5
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RubECX8x8
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyNWsxSpTh
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtKDYnfWhK
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7VPPh506Z
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF6kjPOx9P
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFHs3Im0v3
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhna7GDuj3
Kiri: “Nh.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwf4QwvACt
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV684dHRYmF
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwH3jseDj3
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKgOjPlGjD
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6BtbdJH2K
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCyj7z9H6X
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqV3Kc63K3
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Ow6U6AE1
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP51tlcGFh5
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1DQXAcB9p
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWiGklnUhf
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcVHY0t030
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONhDsp4akp
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT11Mkd1Mb
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBOzTIPxSY
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUDPDPOE8k
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKtjgkRjHo
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP6mqMnu6L
Gunhead: “Roger.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyWElWR3ZJ
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM7PDL5BwF
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JRi4BAfE1
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffZDEpOua6
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.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o8FLlYvqL
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Q0J1Oyzc
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGoDcrz65M
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXfiJowD4N
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMTc8zFJ7L
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xYQ2CzmFA
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdEo9g7Krd
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CQsTkNciE
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlzXJUeeOp
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iby4aLS3o
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt9ArOJMoA
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxojtJgS0Ob
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZUJHMw4ty
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhfb89pWYJ
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMUaYWO294
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”

Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffajqHiFuD
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?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxsmpAVTdM
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9N4jINhRj
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv39N3Vj5l
Azrael: “One with a message.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFjn1uQedq
The man scoffs at the notion.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R2WHmRVry
Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”

Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh6IWDopyu
Tomura: “Oh?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra7tSULBua
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9hHDRLtVj
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’!”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPdAdnZSiE
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJFko8aok3
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqG7k859cN
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tS85yVgu2
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RdZkodDPA
Tomura: “And why is that?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQepsMWeRvz
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rpga4xhgF
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jDRfeRIae
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxzMee3eSU
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXop4Qarug8
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdILrsSmfVA
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRx3GY1OFd
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.”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEE1U1uVn4
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhWCRG1OZV
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?”
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpRGc3lNrC
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.
53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz176Rmxh5
Tomura: “Level… start.”
