Hagakure: "I have to bring him to the right path!"

After the recreational event, everyone sat in the audience seat, waiting for the tournament to start.

"Where is Mineta?" Jiro looked at Momo.

Momo looked at her phone, seemingly in the middle of something.

"Yaomomo?"

"Ah, um, I am sorry, Jiro-san." Momo apologized, then asked, "I am sorry, but could you repeat your question?"

"..."

Jiro was speechless before she looked around and stood up to peek at the seating area of Class 1-B.

The seating areas of Class 1-A and 1-B were separated by a large partition wall. Unless one climbed up, it was impossible for one to see the opposite.

However, Jiro knew that Ibara was on the other side, waiting for the match. Still, she also knew that Momo was in the middle of chatting with Mineta. "Yaomomo."

"Ye-Yes?" Momo suddenly became nervous when she saw Jiro's expression.

"Do you like Mineta?" Jiro asked quietly.

"Huh?!" Momo was startled, and her face was blushing red at this question. Fortunately, the area was quite noisy, and even if she exclaimed, her voice wasn't loud. "Jiro-san, what were you talking about?" While her heart was beating fast, suddenly she lowered her head and felt depressed.

"He has a girlfriend, after all."

"So you don't deny that you like him?" Jiro asked curiously.

"I, um, ah...." Momo couldn't say anything and became even more flustered.

"It's okay. I won't tell anyone."

"Re-Really?" Momo looked at Jiro, hopefully.

"Well, I can understand why you fell for him, though." This time Jiro didn't say those words clearly, only in a mutter, in the voice that she could only hear by herself.

Momo looked at Jiro for a while, hesitating, before she let out a sigh. "I... I don't know when this feeling starts, but... but... I know that I like him. Before I wonder, I hope that this isn't that feeling since I know it is impossible since he has a girlfriend, but no matter what books I have read, it seems only love fits with the description of my feeling toward him."

While she might be clueless about common sense and an airhead to a certain extent, she wasn't clueless about her feelings. She was smart, and naturally, she knew what she felt toward him.

When she was with him, she felt her heart beating so fast, feeling happy, and she kept thinking about him every day, yet it was also painful since she knew it was impossible for them to be together.

"I... I see..." Jiro blushed, feeling shy since she didn't expect Momo would be so honest with her. Yet she couldn't smile since she knew how painful the feeling Momo felt toward Mineta was. Suddenly, she wanted to beat up this bastard, who got close to someone, without thinking anything, yet could he really be blamed?

'Why do I feel uncomfortable, though?'

While she might not realize it, she might view Momo as her counterpart. She viewed Momo as herself, yet with bigger boobs and a more beautiful face. She thought for a moment and suddenly said something outrageous that was even surprised by the words that she uttered.

"Why is it impossible?"

"Eh?" Momo was startled.

"He isn't married, right? Why do you think it is impossible?" Jiro asked while looking at Momo.

"...."

Momo was in a daze since she didn't expect those words from Jiro.

"But... but isn't that unethical? It's wrong, right?"

"Momo, this isn't about wrong or not, but it is whether you want to be happy or not."

"Happy..." Momo muttered in a low voice.

"I..." Jiro hesitated for a moment before she said, "If... if you want, I will support you."

"Eh?"

"So, do you want to do it?"

Unlike the others, Mineta was waiting in the waiting room for his match. His match was in the second, right after Midoriya.

'Midoriya, huh?'

When he thought about Midoriya, the picture of him hurt after using his "Quirk" appeared in his mind. Even now, he knew that Midoriya couldn't use his "Quirk" properly and hurt every time he used it.

However, he felt that Midoriya would win since, compared to Shinso, whose ability was to brainwash, Midoriya had a better physical ability.

Even if Midoriya couldn't use his "Quirk," Mineta believed that Midoriya could win.

How could he have thought so? It was because he knew Midoriya was smart, and he knew that Midoriya should have learned the weakness of Shinso's "Quirk."

"This match should end shortly."

*Knock! Knock!*

"Minoru?"

"...."

He was speechless when he saw the person who suddenly entered his room. "Why are you here?"

"I am going to cheer you up. Your match is going to start soon, right?" Reiko showed a creepy smile.

"Stop smiling. Your smile is creepy."

"How cruel!"

However, Reiko didn't seem to mind his insult and wanted to hug him, but she was stopped by him.

"Did you realize how dangerous what you're doing? Do you want me to spread your video?"

Being his pet meant that she should be obedient, but this woman was far from one. It seemed that he needed to discipline her more.

"I..." Reiko was startled and opened her lips before she closed her lips. "...sorry, but you-you don't need to worry since no one is following me when I come, and Ibara and everyone are in the audience area, and they won't think that I will come to see you, so... so..." She bit her lower lip, showing a grieving expression, and her eyes were full of tears. "I-I am sorry for troubling you."

"..."

He was silent and didn't say anything. He glanced around and knew that there was no camera in this room, so they should be alright, but just in case, he used the combination of his "Color Manipulation" to create a copy of themselves and "Invisibility" to erase their presence.

"It's okay, but don't do it again."

He rubbed her hair gently, making her purr, and she wanted to kiss him, but he stopped her.

"Lick it."

Reiko opened her eyes wide and blushed before she nodded and obediently came under the table. She held his thighs while looking at him with upturned eyes.

'Is this my reward?'

She wasn't sure, but she was excited at that moment.

---

As expected, the match between Midoriya and Shinso quickly ended with Midoriya's victory.

However, as expected, Midoriya hurt himself again. While he knew Shinso's weakness, he still talked and was ordered to walk out of the ring. Yet strangely enough, he suddenly stopped and broke his finger before he pushed and threw Shinsho out.

Still, as the match ended, Reiko gently wiped her lips with a tissue.

"I am going out first. My match is about to start." He tidied up his uniform and erased Reiko's trace on his body.

"Wait, I will follow you." Reiko saw that Mineta stared at her, but she quickly said, "It's only halfway. If it's only halfway, no one will see us, right? There's also no camera in the passage nearby."

He let out a sigh and said, "Just do what you want."

Reiko smiled and linked his arm, but he didn't say anything and just walked out before they parted.

The two walked together and were seemingly quite intimate.

However, he suddenly stopped and looked at the wall on his right side.

"What's wrong?" Reiko also followed his gaze.

He didn't say anything and stared at the wall for a while before shaking his head.

"Nothing. See you later."

"Un." Reiko kissed his cheek before she ran away since she knew she would be scolded. "I will cheer you on." She had a smile on her face, but unlike her creepy smile, this smile was so natural and seemed beautiful.

"..." He was speechless before he shook his head and walked toward the passage where it would lead to the ring.

However, as the two disappeared, a sigh of relief was heard on the wall where he gazed.

"Tha-That's scared me... I-I thought he saw me..."

Hagakure let out a sigh of relief, but her expression was far from good since she realized what kind of bad guy Mineta was. She thought for a moment and thought of the face of his girlfriend. She took a deep breath and made up her mind.

"I-I need to talk with him!"

She clenched her fists and was ready to bring him back to the right path!
