I Get To Be With You

Chapter 22. Implicit Signals

"Don't make me follow you again! "Scolded my boyfriend who, if he had the strength to reproach me, he was better than I thought. Despite his anger, I kept thinking that we had gotten some valuable information.

However, thinking carefully about the combat, why did he look so calm? Meters underground there was a pitched battle between heroes and whatever opponent appeared to them, which was, due to the nature of their interference, an ambush; He was not upset by the surprise attack, indeed, he seemed to anticipate it because of the sure way in which he intervened.

Something did not quite square, but the fatigue and the hateful melody that did not come out of my head in a little more left me thinking about that night.

The next morning on the news, the incident was all talked about. Looking at the images I could see that the hole that allowed us to escape was rather the size of a crater. Remembering what had happened, I remembered a flash of light that resembled Midoriya's when using her quirk, but it was hard for me to believe that he was capable of so much power.

However, that wasn't anywhere near what impressed me the most.

When they rejoined the dorms again, after spending a few days in the hospital, the three had a dark look, especially the bicolor and the blond. Shortly after, I learned that, in the middle of the fight, Todoroki had a mental block and later a heated argument that almost made them lose the results achieved with the ambush.

Not even the green-haired boy knew what had happened, because he ended up unconscious and, Ochaco and Tsuyu were in rescue and evacuation work while the fight between the pair took place. All we knew is that he had been strong enough for them to end their relationship.

What had happened?

Days later, we had a lot to think about.

And even if we didn't have an answer, we had to do something to ease the situation, because it goes without saying that the atmosphere when they were present was extremely uncomfortable.

"Why don't we do a thematic play? "I suggested, after the refusal of the other ideas

"A thematic work? "Emphasized our delegate

"Yes! "Affirmed Ashido, jumping "How about one set in space? "

"We would need too much marketing "commented Iida

"Or one inspired by the sea? "Suggested Tsuyu

"I think it's a bit complicated to simulate water "Sero commented

"And if we use it for real, we could cause a disaster "Ojiro continued

As we deliberated, Todoroki and Bakugou accompanied us, but only in body, as their minds were absent. They were only there to hear the details of whatever was decided.

"And how about a medieval fantasy one? "Midoriya was holding a book that I saw he read to Eri frequently, and that he knew quite well, as it was one of her favorite stories.

'It doesn't seem like a bad idea,' said Yaoyorozu, taking the copy.

"Yes! "Ochaco was excited "We could dress up as fairies, courtesans, sorceresses ...! "She was really motivated

"It is true, there is a lot of variety of roles and that would help us to create a good plot "added Sato

"It is much easier to get props of that style "Shoji spoke

"It is already decided! "Hagakure pronounced "We will do a medieval fantasy play! "

And so, we began to prepare for the staging.

Seeing the others being so excited, I must admit that he made me feel exhausted, but my boyfriend brought me back to earth.

"Why didn't you tell me what you had in mind? "I thought you knew, but wanted to tease you

"You never asked "bringing my hand to her hair

"I am your boyfriend! "Tapping me on the side, pouting

"I know. "Pulling him towards me, hugging him from behind, still smiling.

Since the incident, we had not discussed the matter. Nor is it that there was much to elaborate, it was somewhat ambiguous information.

A few days had passed, but tonight they seemed more estranged than ever. I hated to admit it, but I missed bothering Bakugou and if he did not behave in a usual way, it was not the same, besides it was evident that both he and Todoroki did not want to be like this; Something had happened that caused them to fight and, even if we never knew it, perhaps it would not be very unreasonable to think that we could put them back together, and the play could be just what we needed.

As I began to engineer a plot, the image of that villain crossed my mind.

Due to the limited, but concise information we got, we couldn't do much more than wait. He was recruiting new members and, perhaps, once they reached the desired number, they intended to attack, although apparently, they did not have a date.

If only I had heard his real name, I would not limit myself to making mere assumptions; perhaps knowing one's origin allows us to get closer to others.

'This society reveres the wrong and hides those who hinder them.'

What had he been referring to by that?
