[September 24th, 2149]
After spending the morning much the same way he had the previous day, Izuku and Momo made their way up to the first floor for breakfast and the briefing on what they would be doing that day. Which breach they entered would be left to Izuku's discretion, but Nemuri had compiled the data on several into an 'easily digestible' format for the girls with shorter attention spans.
Since they only had a few days until more than half the group returned to Japan, taking Alissa with them, Izuku decided that they would aim to clear at least one Field-type breach each day until everyone received the Blessing.
Along with endowing a specialty Artefact, the Blessing vested a 10% increase to all attributes when received for the first time. Additional Blessings provided a slight increase to Vitality and Luck, but their most important trait was that they could further empower specialty Artefacts, increasing their durability and Mana Conductivity.
As Mana Conductivity empowered every aspect of an Artefact, from its damage output to the potency of its effects, it was vitally important and also what Appraisers looked at to determine the Artefacts Grade or Rank. Historia's [Chosen Knight's Armor] was originally only as durable as steel, but after clearing dozens of breaches, it now possessed a toughness that couldn't be graded by conventional means and could diffuse the force of attacks across her entire body to mitigate any damage she might receive.
With Leveling becoming increasingly difficult, the value and importance of Artefacts increased exponentially. This sentiment was particularly true for weapons and armor obtained via the Blessing, but with items such as the [Flute of Summoning Goblin] allowing a person to materialize an army by simply blowing into it, it wasn't a gross exaggeration to say that the reins of the future would be held by the nations and individuals who managed to get their hands on the most powerful Blessings and Artefacts...

"Fuuuuu..."
After closing her eyes, inhaling, and exhaling a steadying breath, Alissa's figure became shrouded in a pale green aura before she abruptly charged forward, leaving behind a gradient trail of green-blue afterimages as she reached a velocity of more than 300m/s. Her Agility only warranted her a max speed of 152m/s, but thanks to her Quirk, Double-Time, she was able to control her body's personal temporal field to fast-forward and, thanks to her recently required [Reversal] Perk, rewind her movements along the path of her afterimages.
Returning roughly twenty seconds later, Alissa, breathing a little heavily, wiped the sweat from her brow as she remarked, "Reversal is amazing. I literally ran off the edge of the map and was able to rewind myself to this spot. The strain and stamina cost are no joke, though. I feel like I just ran a marathon."
"Want me to massage your thighs...?" asked Izuku, wriggling his fingers.
Without any hesitation whatsoever, Alissa plopped down on her ass, sat back on her elbows, and raised her left leg as she responded with a curt, "Get on with it."
Taking a seat, Izuku unhesitantly and skillfully massaged Alissa's thighs, remarking, "This outfit really suits you..." as he pushed up her leg to get a look at her padded white panties. She had completely embraced being a member of the Wild Wild Pussycats, so she was wearing a frilly, two-tier green-and-white skirt and had a mechanical, dark-purple cat tail that was currently nestled between her ass cheeks which, when Izuku took a peek at her panties, curled up adorably to cover her crotch.
"Just don't go trying to put a collar on me..." muttered Alissa, turning her ruddy face to the side as her breathing quickened. In truth, she envied Momo's engraved choker, but since her past experience with similar neck accessories wasn't a pleasant one, she wasn't in any hurry to be collared and leashed a second time. Maybe to piss off Roman, but she wasn't in a hurry to reunite with her self-titled former Master...
Instead of responding to Alissa's remark with words, Izuku diligently massaged her thighs and calves until her labored breathing gradually calmed. He had become something of an unlicensed expert at getting women riled up and in the mood, but if he applied those same skills to help them calm down and relax, he could even get them to fall asleep...
Realizing that Izuku wasn't planning to spread her legs and fuck her brains out as she expected him to, Alissa gradually relaxed, closed her eyes, and allowed the tensions to drain from her body. She didn't come close to falling asleep, but she could easily imagine herself doing so if not for the fact they were in the middle of a breach filled with Treants and the occasional Dryad.
"Should I go for another pass, or are you good...?" asked Izuku, finishing his massage by easing the tension in Alissa's right Achilles.
Following a brief pause, Alissa responded, "I'm good..." before pulling her foot from Izuku's grasp and rising to a seated position. This brought their faces to within half an arm's length, but Alissa only met his gaze fleetingly before looking away and asking, "So, what's the plan? We can't spend the entire day pissing around..."
"Give me a moment," replied Izuku, leaping into the air and kicking against it a second time to gain much greater altitude. As he did, the structure of his form-fitting leg armor changed, a high-pitched sound filling the air as the microturbines in his prototype Sky Regalia whirred to life and spun at more than 5,000,000 RPM, briefly allowing him to stabilize and stand mid-air.
Spotting what looked like a giant apple tree with a face roughly 2km from their position, Izuku allowed his Sky Regalia to slowly rev down, initially causing him to fall quickly but descending at a paradoxically slower pace the closer he got to the ground. They were designed to be almost entirely powered by wind pressure, so as their intake increased from his descent, the RPM of the turbines increased, providing additional lift. This was one of the fatal flaws of the Sky Regalia in their current state, as there was no easy way to turn them off. Melissa had designed them so that the internal pressure and heat would bleed off through tiny exhaust ports when their primary intake valves were closed, but it took several minutes.
"That's way too fucking loud...!" shouted Alissa, covering her ears and grimacing due to the Sky Regalia's second fatal flaw. They produced so much noise that their high-pitched 120db whir could be heard as far as 30km away without obstructions. For this reason, Izuku was prohibited from using them in residential areas or near wildlife preserves as, under the right conditions, they could shatter the glass of skyscrapers and send animals into a frenzy.
Smiling wryly, Izuku reached forward, slipped his hands under Alissa's, and pressed a tiny button on the side of her cat-eared headgear. Shino was able to link people's brains via her Telepath Quirk, so for situations where there was a bunch of noise pollution, the Pussycats' headgear had a function that filtered out sounds above a certain frequency and decibel range. As for Izuku, he just closed off his ear canals with a layer of Black Whip.
After a moment's pause and blinking in surprise, Alissa lowered her hands and pretended she hadn't made a blunder by looking around, a faint blush coloring her cheeks as she remarked, "I'm pretty sure you just announced our presence to every monster in the breach."
"All according to cake..." responded Izuku, caressing his chin in a sage manner that caused Alissa to posture like she was going to punch him before actually doing so. However, while her particular paw gloves were fashioned to resemble striking gloves, they may as well have been made from marshmallows as Alissa's fist struck his abs with a faint 'pa.'
Interrupting the duo's playful exchange, a Level 83 Treant burst into the clearing surrounding the breach, pushing aside the trees in its path. Then, reaching for Izuku and Alissa, its gnarled, branch-like fingers extended at a rate comparable to a loosed arrow as it attempted to skewer and absorb the Mana and nutrients from their bodies.
Activating her Quirk, though she was fast enough to dodge even without them, Alissa sidestepped the Treant's attack and charged forward in the blink of an eye to land a heavy blow to the creature's trunk. Her Quirk had no effect on the potency of her attacks, but with more than a hundred Strength, a shock-absorbing sub-gauntlet made from the same material as Izuku's, and her [Springy Constitution] allowing her to withstand the counterforce of her blows, Alissa's punch cratered the Treant's side and sent the two-ton creature flailing and reeling.
Rewinding to her starting position next to Izuku, Alissa shook her right hand and remarked, "Man, these bastards are tough. My attack power has basically doubled with these gloves, but I'll need multiple attacks to finish them off."
"Yeah, these are a pretty terrible matchup for a physical fighter," replied Izuku, immediately contradicting his statement by sweeping his hand to bat away the Treant's approaching tendrils with the wind pressure. Then, for a split second, his physical attributes increased to 3000, causing him to 'flicker' out of existence from Alissa's point of view before reappearing next to the Treant, who, by that point, already had a sizeable hole piercing cleanly through its body as it was sent crashing through several trees.
After covering her face with her forearm to protect it from the shockwave produced in the wake of Izuku's movements, Alissa stared at him with an expression of shock and mild fascination. She didn't disbelieve him when he said he was the fifth or sixth strongest in the world, but she also hadn't taken it to heart. Now that she saw him in action...it was a good thing she was wearing moisture-absorbing panties...
Noticing Alissa's somewhat intense and serious expression, Izuku smiled and flexed his right arm, asking, "Feeling a little more confident about the future?"
Snorting in mock disdain, Alissa crossed her arms and averted her eyes before responding, "It wasn't 'that' impressive. Hell, I couldn't even see what you did..."
"Then I'll slow things down a bit to ensure you get a good look," replied Izuku, punctuating his statement with a wink. Fortunately, several other Treants arrived shortly after, so he was able to show off by grabbing the whip-like tendrils of one before using its body like a flail to send another flying. He knew Alissa still had reservations about joining them, so before they regrouped with the others, who were exploring and clearing several additional breaches, he spent a solid six and a half hours fooling around and buttering up the charming tomboy until she got fed up and pounced on him after he one-shot the Boss and hit her with his patented, cheeky smolder...

"Why does it feel like I always get junk...?" asked Izuku, balancing his newly acquired Artefact, a black tractricoid top, on the tip of his right index finger. Its only effect seemed to be that it would spin indefinitely when supplied with Mana, a truly shit-tier item compared to the leather leg bindings that Alissa acquired from the Blessing. They could be worn beneath her Pussycat boots, and, when activated, tiny wings of greenish-yellow light would materialize near her ankles, allowing her to fly through the air as fast as she could run on the ground.
"Are you being for real right now...?" asked Alissa, riding on Izuku's back as her legs and thighs were shot after giving her personalized Artefact a test drive. Using the Artefact made her feel like she was sprinting at full speed even when her legs were completely straight, so her ass and thighs were bound to become breathtaking as she acclimated to their use.
"Eh, I thought it would be pretty obvious that I'm greedy..." mused Izuku, referring to the size of his harem. He was one of the few who didn't need Artefacts, especially with girls like Melissa, Mei, and Rebecca supporting him, but with how manifold their effects were, he couldn't help wanting to collect them.
Rolling her eyes, Alissa decided not to comment on the ridiculousness of Izuku's statement. Instead, as it wouldn't be long before they regrouped with the others, bringing their impromptu date to an end, she closed her eyes and hugged him, enjoying what remained of the first piggyback she had received since her father died many years prior...
