Mission

Watching him, who was being picked up by the medical staff, Ryukyu wanted to follow, but she knew that she couldn't since she had to write a report and manage the rest of those troublesome things.

"He is amazing, right?"

"Nejire-chan?"

Ryukyu looked at Nejire awkwardly since they had been in the state of a cold war, and their relationship was far from good, especially when Nejire had been trying to show what kind of bastard he was.

Nejire didn't show her naive and child-like expression currently, but she looked at Ryukyu with a sincere and woman-like expression.

"I know that it is a bit weird for me to say this, but isn't it better for us to date him together?"

"..."

Ryukyu fell into silence before she smiled. "Well, let's do it."

They knew he might be a bastard, and being with him would definitely make them want to beat him up, especially with his womanizer hobby, but they knew they had fallen too deeply with him, and they didn't want to part away from him.

As of now, they decided to finish their job as soon as possible, so they could be with him faster.

Meanwhile, Mirko looked at Mineta, who was being carried to the ambulance, before she decided to follow secretly.

While everyone was busy with the aftermath of the incident, they quickly realized something.

"Where is Mirko?"

---

Similar to others, he entered the hospital, but unlike the others, he was just exhausted.

To be honest, there were many heroes and police that were hurt in this mission, but most of them were healed because of Eri's Quirk. Naturally, some of them weren't okay, and there were still some people that were hurt. Those people were quickly being tended to by various doctors and nurses.

However, even so, Mineta had to say that he received the best treatment since Recovery Lady was the one who took care of him.

"You don't need to take care of me. There are others who need you now."

"Shut up. You're a patient, and I am a doctor. You should listen to me."

"As I have said before, I am fine."

He rolled his eyes, but he didn't fight the Recovery Lady's insistence.

Recovery Lady checked his body, and when she was sure he was alright, she let him go and told him to rest.

The two of them didn't say anything, but they knew that life wasn't equal.

Some people had a bigger worth than others.

Especially him.

The rest, even if they died, didn't really matter since there was a lot of their replacement, but there was no replacement for him.

It was a cruel truth, but this was a reality, especially when a Quirk appeared in this world.

"Next time, don't force yourself." Recovery Lady sighed. "You know, your body, organs, muscles, and many others are in a strange condition." It was her first time seeing something like this. While she wanted him to stay in the hospital for further observation, when she saw that he seemed alright, she didn't force him since she knew he should know his body the best.

"I want to... I want to, but if I don't force myself, do you think all of them can get out alive on this mission?" Mineta was so helpless.

"..."

Recovery Lady shut her mouth and knew that if someone was at least 10% as competent as Mineta, then everything would be alright. Unfortunately, most of them were incompetent.

"Can I go back now?" Mineta put his shirt on while asking that question.

"Yeah..." Recovery Lady nodded while looking at his body for the last time.

"..."

Mineta decided to keep quiet and just put on his clothes quietly.

"By the way, what are you going to do after this? Do you want to go back to Yuuei? Nezu will send you a car."

"No, it's okay. I will go back to Ryukyu's office."

"Is that so?"

"What? What's with that gaze? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing..." Recovery Lady rolled her eyes, but she didn't say anything. She wasn't blind and knew what this guy was doing, but as long as the two parties were alright with it, she wouldn't say anything since it wasn't a crime.

There were also many who had an age-gap romance.

It was something normal.

Recovery Lady looked at him, who was about to leave, but Mirko was there when he opened the door.

"....." Recovery Lady.

Mineta was also speechless and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, I am wondering whether you are alright or not?" Mirko asked curiously.

"I am fine." He shook his head and asked, "Is your work done?"

"It's okay. Ryukyu and others will manage those troublesome things." Mirko waved her hand since she didn't care about troublesome things such as reports and others. As for the injuries on her body, it was already healed when Eri used her Quirk.

"...." Mineta and Recovery Lady.

"So, what are you going to do after this? Are you going to walk around the country again to continue with your job?"

Mineta knew that this woman wouldn't stay in one place too long. With this mission ended, she would leave. He knew he hadn't eaten her, but it was alright since he knew this wouldn't be the last time to meet each other.

"No, I plan to stay in Ryukyu's office for a little longer."

It might be his imagination, but her voice and gaze seemed like they were trying to tell him something, and he was familiar with all of this.

"Oh, I see..."

Mirko somehow felt a bit embarrassed but asked, "How about you? What are you going to do after this?" She wasn't sure why, but it was hard to maintain her composure.

"Well, I will go back to Ryukyu's office. It is rude of me if I just return to Yuuei without saying anything, right?"

"Now?"

"Now."

"Then, should we go back there together?"

"Sure."

He nodded before he looked at the Recovery Lady. "Then, Sensei, I will go back first."

"See you, Recovery Lady."

"...be careful."

As for what she meant by "be careful," the two only smiled and didn't say much, but she let out a long sigh before she stood up and decided to check the other patients in this hospital while she was there, but she noticed that Mirko's cute bunny tail seemed to perk up when she left with Mineta, which made her feel conflicted since as a woman, she could tell what they were planning to do.

---

Leaving the hospital, the ambiguous atmosphere stayed between them.

Neither of them talked to the other, but their movement was quite fast as they entered the taxi.

"Quickly go to this place!"

With their intensity, the taxi driver thought they were in the middle of a mission and needed to save someone as soon as possible.

The taxi driver thought that he was also part of this mission, so it made him move his taxi faster and faster, so they could reach their destination as soon as possible.

However, what the taxi driver didn't know, Mineta and Mirko had been holding hands. They might not say anything, but they were clear about what they were about to do. It might seem quite bold and a little too easy, but with Mirko's personality, once she had decided to do something, she wouldn't stop.

As for Mineta?

This guy was already a scumbag, so there was no need to ask him whether he would agree or not.

Then, as soon as they arrived, they quickly entered his room in Ryukyu's hero office while leaving the taxi driver confused, but also felt relieved since he knew that he had finished his mission and he had done his best to help two heroes in their mission.

He fixed his cap before he continued his job, thinking that his day was good.

Similarly, Mineta and Mirko thought that their day was good.
