Kapitel 1185: 35
"And the Fiery Red-head of the freshman hero course continues to decimate her competition, this time, leaving that blonde haired loudmouth completely humiliated as she beat him with just a single finger! With heroes like her on the horizon, maybe All Might will be able to retire! But she's not the only one that's been moving through the rounds at a breakneck pace! The Icy-Hot daughter, though I could have sworn he was a boy, has been decimating her own ring, blasting her foes out with both fire and ice, leaving her father weeping flames of joy! But, now it's time for the underdog of the event! The black haired sheep herself, the queen of black smoke, the master of a thousand and one weapons, and a near infinite supply of beauty, brawns and ways to kick your ass! Give it up for Creati!"
"Why the fuck did we hire you to commetate this?"
"Hire? I'm the principal! I'm doing this for fun!"
An inhuman groan came across the T.V. as the camera cut to the commentators booth. Only one figure was visible, a very grumpy looking Aizawa-sensei, the seat beside him empty. The camera then switched to the field where Momo was walking out, her head held high and looking stunning in her U.A. sports uniform.
"Turn that off." A cold voice stopped Izuku from zoning out and watching his girlfriend kick ass in the tournament arc of the Sports Festival. Before Izuku could even gather the thought to tell the person off he stopped. His boss, Overhaul, stood in the kitchen, looking extra sour today.
"Sure thing, boss." Izuku did as he was told and resigned himself to having to watch the fights later or even just hear about it from the girls. Or maybe Menu was recording it?
[Sys-admin: I gotchu fam.]
Sweet.
"But, shouldn't we be more interested in these guys? They are going to be-"
"Bah." Overhaul sat down at the counter top and tapped his gloved hand on the smooth wood. He folded one leg over the other casually and popped his neck. Behind Overhaul was another member of his inner circle, this one wearing white, Izuku only knew him as Chrono. "Soon we won't have to worry about that."
"Oh." Izuku blinked. Was this the part where the bad guy told him his whole plan because he thought he already won? "Do you have something planned?"
Overhaul laughed. "You'll see soon enough, Minato, just know that you picked a very good time to join our family. Now then, I need you to cook me a meal. Something sweet, easy to eat, and filled with nutrients. And if you can make it so it makes the eater more content."
"Sure, but I didn't take you for the kind of person that likes sweets sir." Izuku gave a chuckle and started to gather ingredients, while he looked through his recipes. Chances are Overhaul wouldn't want a fruit smoothie, but no doubt Chrono would find it odd if their boss started to spill the beans. If only he could get Overhaul alone.
"Oh, it's not for me. I don't trust you enough to prepare my food." Overhaul gave a cold glare. "That level of trust has only been earned by a few."
"Oh, uhh, sorry sir, I hope to get there eventually. But then who is the meal for? You, Chorono?" Izuku looked at the man clad in white who just rolled his hand casually at the comment. Okay, it wasn't for him, but then who was it for? It didn't seem like Overhaul would order someone else's food.
"You're asking a lot of questions Minato, just do what you're told." Chorono spoke in a soft voice that was backed up by Overhaul nodding.
"It's for a child." Overhaul said calmly. "That's all you need to know."
A child? First there was the Old Boss, and now there was a child.
"Right, one kid's meal, coming up." Izuku started to make a meal fit for a child. He didn't know why there was a child in a place like this, or why Overhaul was taking an interest in them, but he was going to get that child just a small taste of happiness if he could help it. Before long, Izuku had whipped up a dinner plate that had him wishing he was ten again. "Alright Boss, is there anything else I can do for you today?"
"Don't make it sound like you're working at a fastfood restaurant." Overhaul groaned and stood onto his feet, eyes never once leaving the plate. For a moment it looked like the lanky man was going to grab the plate himself, instead, he snapped his finger and Chrono took a step over to pick it up. "If she likes it and eats it, you may just end up in charge of her meals from now on, Minato."
"Right, yes sir." Izuku gave a proper Yakuza bow and smiled, watching as the two men left his kitchen.
So. It was for a little girl. It was a shame he didn't have any food that let him check on the status of the person that ate it, or hell even one that let him know where they were. One that could teleport would also be very useful. Still, it would be harder to test a teleportation food here. But the other two might be doable.
He was missing his kitchen back home, and his girlfriends, and his bath, back there he had no problem finding someone to test his food. Nejire would do it without a thought, and Itsuka and Momo were generally open to anything, Shoko would ask if it was soba and then eat it and say it was good for not being soba, and Menu would demand seconds. Since when did his life become so centered around food?
Probably when Ituska forced him into taking that cooking class.
He really needed to thank her properly for that. Wait. He did. Besides, they were in a relationship so he really didn't need a reason to go out of his way to spoil her, or any of them.
Oh, right, he needed to report to Sir Nighteye.
[Izuku Midoriya: Who's on Nighteye duty?
Nejire Hado: He's here at the sports festival watching Mirio do his thang, but I can totally talk to him if you want!
Izuku Midoriya: Oh, cool, ask him if he can find out if Overhaul has a daughter, or something like that. It might be nothing but it was mentioned.
Nejire Hado: Right! Sorry you have to work while we're all having fun Izuku. Oh! Are you watching the sports festival?
Izuku Midoriya: Can't. And I miss you guys too.
Nejire Hado: Hmm, well, it'll be over soon enough, then when you get back we can have a giant orgy for like three days! Oh! Also it's time for Itsuka and Momo to fight. Momo thinks she can win, and Itsuka is low-key terrified.
Itsuka Kendo: I maxed my strength! Barbarians have bad will saves!
Sys-admin: You're a monk!
Itsuka Kendo: I need to put more ranks in Wisdom!
Momo Yaoyorozu: Relax Itsuka, if I win I promise that I won't make you do anything too embarrassing tonight~
Shoko Todoroki: I want that prize.
Izuku Midoriya: ?
Nejire Hado: Oh! They all decided that the winner gets to make the other two do whatever they say tonight! It sounds like a lot of fun, and they're probably going to be naked.
Nejire Hado: Oh. I wasn't supposed to make you jealous. Sorry!
Izuku Midoriya: It's fine, you guys have fun, and good luck!
Nejire Hado: Thanks! Oh! I just had another good idea.
Izuku Midoriya: ? Do I want to know?
Nejire Hado: It's a surprise!]
Well, at least he had a warning that Nejire was going to surprise him.
"Hey, chef, what you smiling about huh?" One of the younger thugs came walking in, he was all dressed up and looking fresher than normal. He sat down at the counter, right where Overhaul had been sitting a few minutes ago and snagged the remote from the other side, turning back on the T.V. before changing the channel. "Oh, wait, I know, I bet you got yourself a girl huh?"
"Huh?" Izuku nearly dropped the plate he had been scrubbing absent mindedly and stared at the slick haired man. Oh, he was making small talk. "Umm, well kind of, but uhh, she's been away for a while."
Fuck. Was that too much information?
"I knew it man! You got the goods, bet you can get any chick with cooking skills like yours, ya get what I'm saying, so, so, what's the deets? What's she look like? She got big'ole tiddies? Oh, I bet she fucks good."
"Woah, woah, man, that's a bit private don't you think?" Izuku stumbled back and started to prep some ingredients, just so he looked too busy to be pressed for much more. He did not want to have to start making up some fake girlfriend only for that lie to come and bite him in the ass. Or it could just be taken as bragging. Did thugs brag? Yeah, they did. Probably. Wait, that was what this guy was doing, wasn't it?
[Congratulations, you are now aware of others. Only took you almost nineteen years.
Social Skills +1]
He was blaming Menu for that one.
"But what about you, there has to be a reason why you're so dressed up today?" Izuku nodded towards the man, for once he didn't smell like cigarettes and sweat.
The man slicked back his hair and licked the front of his teeth as he pulled on his white suit jacket, clearly proud in looking ever so slightly like a scummy used car salesman. "I finally got a date with Suki, things are finally looking up for me. We're going to this real nice restaurant and everything. So hey, I got a favor to ask."
"Uhh, I'm not going to spike her drink if that's what you're going to ask."
"What? Ouch. Minato my man, you wound me." The thug leaned back in his seat and placed a hand over his heart. "No no no, I was wondering if you got anything that'll give me that extra hit of confidence ya'know, I know your food can do all kinds of amazing stuff, so what you say huh?"
Hello new source of info.
Izuku prepared another one of those smoothies, making certain that he selected the variant with the truth serum in it. Besides, confidence was like a placebo thing so this should work if he said it did. "Here you go, my friend, drink up."
"Ahh, thanks man, you're a lifesaver."
Izuku waited for the man to finish the drink before he asked.
"So, does Overhaul have a daughter?"
The man blinked and tugged on his jacket again. "Huh? You mean Eri? Nah, she's not his, no man would ever do what he does to their own daughter."
The cold callous way that the thug spoke about Eri made Izuku very eager for his future imprisonment.
XXXX
Izuku sighed and spread out on the small lumpy mattress that he was growing to hate. Honestly, he was starting to wonder if that mattress was worse than the floor. Or the couch. He was half tempted to experiment and find out. Maybe he should see if Momo could make him some ultra comfy sleeping clothes that will make it so he always sleeps good or something. Damn, a good night's sleep quirk might be amazing, too amazing, everyone would want it.
Could he make it a hot drink?
He was getting distracted. Again. He needed to focus on what he learned today.
First was that Overhaul wasn't going to eat what he made. Not for a while. The second was that he had a daughter named Eri. Or at least a girl that he watched over. And that he wasn't exactly doing ethical things to her. And that they wouldn't have to worry about the heroes anytime soon.
Oh, and that Momo won the Sports Festival by exploiting her opponents. She knocked Itsuka out with some magic sleep gas, and apparently made a deal with Shoko. Point being that while Itsuka could level a city and Shoko could probably cause several ecological and other natural disasters, Momo was the scariest of his girlfriends.
And they were off having a lesbian love pile while he was stuck here in case someone came by looking for him. Being undercover sucked!
A knock came from his door. Again, a good reason for him to not teleport to his home and have a wonderful night. Besides he needed to focus on the mission. With a sigh Izuku opened his door. "Yo, how can I help-":
"Minato!" A drop dead gorgeous woman, with long red hair that was even longer than Nejire's and very straight stood in his doorway, she was wearing a very small little black dress that hugged each and every one of her curves. "It's been way too long! How are you doing? Hey, you mind if I come in?"
"I umm, I uhh-"
"Oh come now silly, don't tell me you don't recognize me." She pressed her finger to his lip and winked at him, her violet eyes sparkling with a hint of familiarity. "It's me Kushina, I haven't changed that much, have I?"
Huh?
[Nejire Hado: Surprise! Act casual~!
Izuku Midoriya: Wait what? This is you? What are you doing here?
Nejire Hado: I asked Night Eye if me showing up in disguise as your long lost lover would help! And he agreed! So now we get to have some fun, oh! And I have some items to give you too! You better be thankful too, some of those Menu-chan's dungeons aren't very fun.
Izuku Midoriya: I understand but at the same time I don't.]
Nejire, who was currently disguised as a slender redhead, shut the door behind her and glomped him with a very, very, eager kiss. "Did that clear things up?"
"Sure!"
He loved his girlfriends.
But he wasn't used to Nejire being so streamlined.
XXXX
"Minato my man! My absolute animal, you were holding out on us weren't you?" One of the thugs walked up and pulled Izuku into a one armed shoulder hug, one hand lightly jabbing at Izuku's side as they made their way inside the compound through a side entrance. "So, tell me, what's her name, huh? What is it?"
"Huh? Oh, you mean Kushina?" He half asked, still not quite awake. Nejire had kept him up a bit longer than she should have, and he had even used her to develop some new foods while she showed off a few of them items they made him. It was a good night. "She's just a friend."
"A friend with some serious benefits my man! That girl was hot! How'd you get so lucky, I bet you cooked her something mad fierce once."
"Actually, she appeared after I killed a giant octopus one day."
The thugs looked at him weird before roaring in lafter. "Oh man! Fine, fine, you can keep your secrets, we was just so proud of you, you always looked kind of down and glum while you were cooking. But hey, remember man, family comes first."
"Yeah, I know, don't worry, I didn't spill the beans or anything like that." Izuku shrugged and smiled. "She was just in town for the night, so I won't be seeing her for a while."
"Shame to let a hottie like that go though, hey, if you ever manage to get her to wear a ring, I'll be your best man."
"Thanks for the offer but that's a long way off."
Probably, he knew the girls were talking about it, but legally he could only marry one of them.
Once he got into the kitchen, Izuku let out a long, desperate sigh. Today he had goals beyond intel gathering.
Locate The Old Boss, and Locate the girl, Eri.
Those two were key to everything going on right now.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out the first item that Nejire had brought him.
[Compass of Google Maps
Creates a map of the area, highlighting boss rooms, and objectives.
1 time use.]
He clicked the button at the top, the face of the heavy silver compass folding up and the dials turning in random directions, in the upper right portion of where he saw his quirk elements he watched as the map slowly began to change from a google satellite image with some lines drawn on it by Menu, to a full 3-D map that he could move and spin. The compound went deeper than he thought.
Two rooms were highlighted. One on the top floor of the compound, and one in the labyrinthine basement
