The morning light is the first thing our young esper wakes up to. Unfamiliar walls and supremely soft sheets assault his senses.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA6LEkELchTd
Izuku: ‘Where…’
235Please respect copyright.PENANAL8FTs5YzGp
Then the memories return, and he nearly erupts from the bed in embarrassment. Speaking of beds…
235Please respect copyright.PENANA1MISYYaf61
Izuku: “M-Momo?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAQIfdC3vU82
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAtiEk3VCtEI
Izuku: “Great… ”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAP8vBAYA7Gd
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA8ysP5H13QB
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…? ’
235Please respect copyright.PENANA7HAovr4DFn
As he places his hero costume back on, he takes a step forward.
235Please respect copyright.PENANASQzgl3pXWv
Izuku: ‘It wouldn’t hurt for them to be friends at least. Yeah, that’s all.’
235Please respect copyright.PENANApyQg5lBTgR
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAcFDsLvmcP2
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA4uSkuJMUk0
Momo: “Ah, good morning, Izuku. You came just in time. Sit down; it won’t take long.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAbTLWgt9fSx
The boy was starstruck by the sight of a beautiful girl cooking for him.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAkFdJZ1HyZI
Izuku: “Y-You’re cooking… for me?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAGwOuPGb1oK
Momo: “Yes! It’s my first time, but I think I got the hang of it.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAzYpFX6vIuG
Izuku: “T-Thank you… ”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAqRSkCYsIm7
Dragging his body to the table, he tried to come to terms with the situation.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAyopJF2jA0x
Izuku: ‘It’s almost like we’re married already…’
235Please respect copyright.PENANAHxahutVuvr
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAvKPycLBBuf
Izuku: “Momo, where are your parents?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAMnP45wLcad
Momo: “Well, they believe in independence. The butler and maids only work 3 times a week, so we have a lot of time alone.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANABWOkSvQXCR
Izuku: “R-Right.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA7s8LBF83YY
Momo: “As for where Mom and Dad are, I suppose all over. They have many business ventures that require their attention.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAPqCEGAwE2d
Izuku: “Don’t you… miss them?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAUYyInL15jX
Momo: “… Sometimes. But I’ve gotten used to it. Besides…”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA3h3GzMZbnP
She finishes cooking and sets the steaming meal on the table.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAsijWKFpCuZ
Momo: “It gives us privacy. Imagine if my parents were here yesterday.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANASFmQSTyTLH
Izuku: “Y-Yeah, that would have been… unfortunate.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAePFngFyCY0
He says while taking a sip from the glass of water present with the meal.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAWBq16sPwYV
Momo: “It would. I’d like for them to see my future husband while he’s decent.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAl9s1Rk16v7
And there goes the water. After coughing, the poor boy gives Momo a bewildered look. She returns it with a head tilt and smile.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA5A9XfpMhy3
Izuku: “H-Husband!?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAD6QsBcEyfD
Momo: “Of course. That’s what happens when you’re in a relationship, right? You fall in love, date, and eventually get married.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAPfRV3N4DNp
Izuku: “I-I know, but… aren’t we too young to be thinking about marriage?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAlZAF8OxL2T
Momo: “Too young to think about marriage but old enough to have sex?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAgZvbMz9VJu
Izuku: “… Fair point.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAnhedKpCVZe
She takes his hand into hers and squeezes enough to show the sincerity of her words.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJWKThRg5lA
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA5mMDCQmy5k
Izuku: “I am… it’s just-”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAx0PHRfacNY
Momo: “I know, Tae. I get it. But I have a feeling I’m the one right about her.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAba7VRoN2P8
Izuku: “W-Why do you say that?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAzwbzEQyxvX
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Mwga6c3Q
Izuku: “I-I see…”
235Please respect copyright.PENANASp9brWncmh
Momo: “… You still believe that her feelings are real?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA8ElH3reFRO
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAlOR388Ni8C
With that, Momo removes her hand.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAh0ibvRyQxy
Momo: “You know, I~zuu~kuu… ”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAQRaOekV2Zq
Izuku: “Huh?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAfjdszHKXXy
The boy looks at Momo, who was smiling at him, but based on the red aura surrounding her, it wasn’t a good smile.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA2PAQecFs0e
Momo: “No girl likes to hear her crush talking about another girl during breakfast. One she made.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAue1uPQ8Pzz
Izuku: “S-Sorry!”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAEudSPXL38c
Momo sighs while Izuku digs into his food. She can only pick at it.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA2CeVqDQqNh
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-”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAsIVMpPeTP2
Izuku: “You’re wrong.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAgId2MAAbeD
He stops eating and looks at the girl with a glare that freezes any words left in her throat.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA7rPAVDBL4F
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAMnwZJ08fDZ
Momo: “I’m not-”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAjQfQviqvYK
Izuku: “Momo.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANACBwa3Dr1OR
Momo: “… Fine, I’m a bit jealous. Can’t really blame me? She monopolizes your time, and you kissed her first.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAzCXlcA92tm
Izuku: “I’ll be sure to be fair to both of you from now on.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAKweVxsrgI5
Momo: “You’re talking as if you’ll date both of us.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAhnNPwmkzk2
Izuku: “W-What?! O-Of course not, that wouldn’t work! Hahaha… ”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAg2EBUkKgyO
Momo: “… No, I don’t think it would.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANATBnpwpcFoz
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANApUiCDTUPDy
Stunned by the love and affection received, he can only watch Momo practically bounce away with joy at her heels.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAUjGYsw2TH8
Izuku: ‘I-I really am lucky.’
235Please respect copyright.PENANAWB8w8QrsRT
235Please respect copyright.PENANAaaNY8FCs14
Fubuki: “Where were you?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA0YdDvyndfj
Izuku: ‘Nevermind.’
235Please respect copyright.PENANAMqp2l5QYBj
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAIENakhrw2v
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?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAQGlO1DWisI
Izuku: “Well… I… ”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA5d3o1bUdvP
Her face softens, and she lets out some soft giggles.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA6pNTILJhhI
Fubuki: “I guess my little brother is growing up. Just make sure to use protection.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAQLJZu3FqEL
Izuku: “I-I-It’s not like that!”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAYZUa3XeBGY
Fubuki: “Sure it isn’t. Then what’s that perfume I smell and the smudge on your lips?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAsC3linYDnu
Izuku: “What!?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAsbVBAofMfU
He quickly wipes his mouth, and sure enough, lipstick.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5rZeIAeU3
Izuku: ‘Did she do that on purpose?!’
235Please respect copyright.PENANAYKT8Vyyqno
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJQgjIVyxnB
Izuku: “I-I’m sure you’ll find someone, Fubuki.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9wGQGSZhN
Fubuki: “Maybe… or I might have missed my chance a long time ago… ”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAkt6Eb8508Z
She shakes away the memory of that old flame she blew out herself.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAeh2wiM56Vk
Fubuki: “Come on, we’re going on a joint field trip today.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8HUvm2ayX
The boy follows his sister into the building and inquires further.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAInLNGS8i8X
Izuku: “Field trip?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAHnV5RQB9Be
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zl7t94Ogo
Izuku: “Okay, is Tatsu coming too?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAzQHhXZvzJF
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAIoL9q4g9lb
Izuku: “She really is always on call huh?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAWJJ7UUnssL
Fubuki: “They’d call her overseas if they could.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAHayX6qP6cw
Izuku: “So… where are we going?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ou9tnNtSu
Fubuki: “Hosu City.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAg11eOy5bmY
235Please respect copyright.PENANAuSwHOhqtus
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAFms29ZQuWi
Darn her sympathy.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAmZZXtXyjqJ
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAkRXeA5QAmw
Momo: ‘Can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I want to help her. Time for some more drastic measures.’
235Please respect copyright.PENANAdSYp2HknUT
When the break came, Momo went to Kiri, who was simply standing next to a wall.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAWp28F6B27W
Momo: “Tae, are you okay? You seem… off today.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA5FHO8zMshR
Kiri: “… I’ll survive. I have my family.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANADRSrg3YVWn
Momo: “So… I take it that you gave up on Izuku.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAwhZNGWFbXW
A slight twitch.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAImu9uMGktZ
Kiri: “First names?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAIlGLow2xfF
Momo: “It was bound to happen. But you didn’t answer my question.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAaswenze0Ge
Kiri: “… I don’t want to give up. But… even Dark Shadow seems… uncertain of his emotions towards Tokoyami.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAGmVYPc3m9W
Momo: “I see… ”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAoquI3uG2eN
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAhcYiWhSPiY
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAamAisNtGJB
Kiri glances at Momo but doesn’t move any other part of her body.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAUexDrIIkGQ
Kiri: “Why are you talking to me, Udders?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pnsdk9yFH
And just like that, the sympathy is gone.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAYotdcQbvzG
Momo: “Can you please call me something else?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAHOs6v2NMYt
Kiri: “No, it fits you.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA8KHFFw4HNb
Momo: “Wha… you know what? You’re right.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAU3MWsRACZM
Kiri: “I know.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0ohFz92Jq
Momo: “Anyway! You’re right because Izuku loves my… c-chest.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ52eameK5
An intake of breath and another twitch.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAMPTvrJGub2
Kiri: “Excuse me?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAlQipoaALNE
Momo: “We made out, got really… i-i-intimate last night. Didn’t go all the way, but we thought about it.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANANgx9y3JuHo
Kiri: “You-”
235Please respect copyright.PENANADGOqYJdwLH
Momo: “So if you don’t stop moping around, I’ll take him from right under you.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAXXwJ1Ed1kF
She leaves for the shower before Kiri could retaliate. Along the way, what she just did hits her.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAqIvNMzpIyv
Momo: ‘What was I thinking!? Why did I practically encourage her to keep chasing Izuku?!’
235Please respect copyright.PENANAc77wLyTORh
If it wouldn’t echo, she’d slam her head on the hall for her foolishness. But the answer to her question is obvious.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9tdM1cZwK
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… ’
235Please respect copyright.PENANAU2TWeqrj0X
As the water hits her body, she thinks back to Izuku’s words this morning.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA9kC1STpTmw
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.’
235Please respect copyright.PENANAqNHilLi1wJ
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAhAndpGBqOR
Momo: ‘It’s strange I notice these things now.’
235Please respect copyright.PENANAp1XLIacbnd
Edgeshot: “Good job, you three did well today. Time for a joint field trip.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAdP4qEk3NF6
Momo: “Field trip?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAtv22GWflm2
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAcEEVgNWh7H
Tokoyami: “How so?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA1K5m4hq4Ql
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAO7qwWvpX4z
Tokoyami: “… Understood.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAa9awiwNpk6
Kiri: “Location?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAjK3IoLX3P1
Edgeshot: “Hosu City. Yes, the other city with the recent earthquakes.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAseEgfchyD4
235Please respect copyright.PENANAg0eVgISRHT
Kaoru: “No Tornado… ”
235Please respect copyright.PENANASK8swZqbE3
Izuku: “Hahaha.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAH7CD1cePGI
Fubuki: “Get over it and focus. Big sis was pampering you anyway.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAncKi2E5rG3
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAa56Sm1T6ai
Currently, the group is at the designated meeting place within Hosu City. Apparently, they are the first ones here.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAwIaI7yEZJQ
Alice: “Are we too early?
235Please respect copyright.PENANACuuMNHoemj
Fubuki: “No, just on time.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAWZRhUQeBIs
Izuku: “Then where are the two other groups?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAM1ODupDBFs
Fubuki: “One is late. The other is hiding. Edgeshot, you’ve taught your kids well.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAcB1Rr1W9rj
Edgeshot: “And your senses have gotten better.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAKEcyZgTz9r
Out of the shadow come four ninjas.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAg69pf9PwEa
Kaoru: “Whoa, what the heck!?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAm1b8HKXsIJ
Lily: “Cool…”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAuQD65QCmc6
Mountain Ape: “Tch, ninjas… ”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAgXOaliBiPL
Izuku: “Kiri! Momo!”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA3gEVHNJn1e
The two girls warmly smile at the boy before returning to their tough ninja masks.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJsfWwrSgJn
Edgeshot: “Seems like Gunhead is not here yet.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANANFHix2mLWb
Fubuki: “We’ll wait 15 more minutes.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA8jyAUlgrjC
Izuku: “Gunhead? That means Uraraka and… Kirishima will come.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAWFTEPHbsYy
Izuku: ‘Yep, I’m still a bit jealous of him. I’m such a hypocrite.’
235Please respect copyright.PENANArcITvoFjJT
Kaoru: “Hey, you three have pretty cool cloaks.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAlXlVwXPoQI
Now that she mentions it, yeah. Momo and Kiri now have hooded cloaks similar to Tokoyami, even with the same color.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA4H8JtvlKQz
Alice: “You really come across as ninjas.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA3HVFXtHU85
Tokoyami: “We have been embraced by the shadows.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAMDKVZQmRj1
Kiri: “Nh.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAkyIoWsw8en
Momo: “Black isn’t really a part of my color scheme though.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAVM5cCbEc9F
She says while readjusting the silver clasp of her cloak.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA9EaBrN53DX
Izuku: “It… l-looks good on you though.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAfHTG0JNWnj
Momo: “R-Really? Well… I guess I can make an exception.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAoO7okDVa5o
Kiri can only sigh at their blush.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJSGTA2KKuA
Kiri: ‘Is this my life now?’
235Please respect copyright.PENANA4Oq7XRvQ28
Edgeshot: “Here they come.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAr6rETac2gL
Just then, Gunhead was running towards them along with his two interns.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAR1oHB6xabn
Gunhead: “Sorry we’re late. Had to deal with a purse snatcher, if you can believe it.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANApcqAlxrn59
Uraraka: “Midoriya!”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAsveghxd6xI
Kirishima: “Hey, Tae!”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAfsLWjBxYW0
The group comes together to share their internship tales while the adults describe the plans.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAmBkWnAfWI4
Fubuki: “The odd ones out are Alice and Kaoru. Build the teams around those two.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAD0XLkRSpy0
Edgeshot: “Agreed, that way the teams aren’t all classmates.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAwlQx7QiC6A
Gunhead: “Adding one of your Blizzard Group members can help even things out.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAiEPvpbbDup
Fubuki: “Alright, but I’m keeping Mountain Ape with me. That way it’s 3x3.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAnFkcPXnBiC
Edgeshot: “Very well. Here are the patrolling teams. And remember, let the kids grow into their own. Only interfere if necessary.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAzj8S0dOGHU
Gunhead: “Roger.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAOb5N9OVD5g
Kaoru’s Team:
- Tokoyami
- Kirishima
235Please respect copyright.PENANAH0ktQiV3x9
Alice’s Team:
- Izuku
- Uraraka
235Please respect copyright.PENANAe8iHaOHSRR
Lily’s Team:
- Kiri
- Momo
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJK7cYD3CVe
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.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAXkVm575ujX
Fubuki: “Make sure to lead them well, Lily.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAztD0K407EA
Lily: “Yes, Boss Fubuki.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAK3EvDqbdO1
Edgeshot: “We’ll meet back here in 12 hours.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAgKxqVFoH5s
Everyone: “12 hours!?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA5Lp0GyITql
Fubuki: “The city is large, and sometimes you’ll need to patrol that long if other heroes are unavailable.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAl9BBmmdk3s
Gunhead: “I hate when that happens. Having to cover nearly a whole city with just a few good pro heroes.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAGM4YAHgESH
Edgeshot: “Especially when it’s for some big event or because some pro needed to take special leave for whatever reason.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA5B9BiCAPlv
Fubuki: “So you all understand?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANATJvs7DOVkV
They nodded, if a bit slowly.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAxaMRhOKc9m
Fubuki: “Don’t worry. We won’t be that far away if something goes wrong and you have our numbers.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAWmNYIREMWh
Gunhead: “Besides, it’s just a routine patrol. What’s the worst that can happen?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAqX0WnUiqwy
235Please respect copyright.PENANAyumde1tAyf
On top of the many buildings stands a killer of fake heroes. Behind him, a black portal opens. From within exist Tomura and Azrael.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAkdcz24pNzg
Tomura: “Hosu, man… it’s surprisingly prosperous.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAPP5clay3ER
Azrael: “Not for long, I’d imagine.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA3UfYBA7NdQ
Stain: “I’m going to reform this city, and for that, more… sacrifices are needed.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA6CPY793c5G
The killer opens his arms, as if to embrace the city.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAomGRSc6zhC
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAeRLk0NAD7b
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?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAmVa6px8nxv
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA5IQZykUFzw
Tomura: “So just a tool?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANApl0yK78NDn
Azrael: “One with a message.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANALgQ6vjvIJx
The man scoffs at the notion.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAwTJ8OTFojQ
Tomura: “Does he want to raise up a damn grassroots movement or what?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA5i1xgSppS3
Kurogiri: “Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAmP0ArNGiwB
Tomura: “Oh?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANABsU9bHJqqj
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAgYvHcSOLeD
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’!”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAjn3LnDLYON
After Tomura stops laughing at the hilarity of the situation, he stills and starts scratching his neck.
235Please respect copyright.PENANA7W0RUeGC7K
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAxYQibZSw8L
Azrael: “I can already tell you want to unleash the Nomus; I would advise against it.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAzSMcUlabIz
He stops scratching his neck and glances at Azrael.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAPhH94xlFy7
Tomura: “And why is that?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAeoMbEm7TvU
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA9XZdZpXO4s
Tomura: “It was probably nothing. Don’t let it get to you.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA6xrG49WUCj
Azrael: “Maybe, but… I want to know. Besides, you shouldn’t waste Nomus or quirk beasts on this. Not unless we need to.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA5d6ILL4Ecd
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAQqO4KcdksJ
Azrael: “Thank you. Where is Apotheosis, by the way?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANANmadYUHd9Z
Tomura: “Tch, where do you think?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANAXE4Buiq13s
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.”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA3K618ucO5m
With that, the eldest disappears into a mud portal. As for Tomura, he began to scratch his neck again.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAXyCoTmWj36
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?”
235Please respect copyright.PENANA4ilo8cDB7e
Sensing the command, Kurogiri opens a portal that unleashes five varied and grotesque nomus into the city.
235Please respect copyright.PENANAJZUI9kNryh
Tomura: “Level… start.”
