Distorted

When noon came, Ryukyu came along with the police.

"Mineta-kun, it's been a while."

"Naomasa-san." He nodded since he had met this inspector before, but he felt weird when he saw a dog head person standing by Naomasa's side. "Don't you work in the Musutafu area? Why are you in Tokyo?"

"Well, I am familiar with you, after all, so they call me here to talk with you." Naomasa suddenly noticed that Mineta wasn't alone. Instead, on his side, he saw a beautiful young woman sitting by his side obediently. His expression became bitter, and he sighed. "You... why is there always a beautiful girl beside you?"

"!?"

Suddenly Mineta felt pain and saw that his thigh was pinched by Nejire. His lips twitched, and he thought that he should dominate her, so she wouldn't do this kind of stupid thing.

Nejire wasn't sure why, but she felt annoyed.

Ryukyu sighed since she knew he had a girlfriend, but she also walked by Mineta's side because she was worried about him.

"Also, who is the gentleman beside you?"

He was curious about the dog headman beside Naomasa.

"Ah yes, this is the chief Hosu Police precinct, Tsuragamae Kenji."

"Hello, Mineta-kun. Are you okay?" Kenji asked.

"Well, besides the inconvenience of being unable to use my hand, I am okay." However, he frowned and asked, "But why are you here? This is Shinjuku, right? Shouldn't the chief Shinjuku Police precinct come?"

"Yes, I am also here."

"Oh."

Unlike the rest, the chief Shinjuku Police precinct lacked a presence which made him speechless.

"So you want to ask about the matter of the hero killer?" He asked to the point.

"Yes, can we trouble you? I know that you are hurt, but..."

"It's okay. The faster this matter is done, the better, right?"

"Thank you." Naomasa nodded with a smile but was it his imagination, whether Ryukyu or Nejire seemed to be so close to Mineta?

"Ah, Tsuragamae-san, please don't sniff the room. I feel uncomfortable."

"Ah, sorry. It's just I noticed a strange smell," Tsuragamae quickly said and stopped his nose from twitching.

"..." Mineta.

Nejire was so embarrassed that she could only hug him and didn't dare to look at everyone.

Mineta looked at Nejire helplessly and didn't stop her, but Ryukyu felt weird since their relationship seemed closer, right?

"???"

Naomasa felt even more confused since Mineta had Ibara as his girlfriend, but why did Nejire hug him?

Suddenly he felt his IQ couldn't process what was happening, so he decided to talk about the case.

"I have heard that you were the one that defeated the Hero Killer, right?"

"No, it was Ryukyu-san who defeated the Hero Killer."

Mineta lied without batting his eyes.

Ryukyu and Nejire were surprised, but they didn't say anything.

The police also looked at each other and nodded.

All of them had a tacit understanding, and from the beginning, they had decided to give credit to Ryukyu since Mineta wasn't a hero.

Mineta was just a student. He also didn't have a hero license, so it was impossible for him to use his "Quirk" since it wasn't allowed. It might be something small, and some often ignored, but when it was related to this type of situation, the government, national intuitions, or law enforcers had to keep a public image, so no one would use their "Quirk" without authorization.

"Yes, Ryukyu, the one who defeated the Hero Killer." Naomasa nodded while looking at Mineta thoughtfully, but since Mineta had said so, he didn't bother to say anything. He suddenly thought to say the injuries on Stain, which were so severe, but since Mineta had told them that everything was done by Ryukyu, it had nothing to do with him, so he didn't bother to say.

Unlike Mineta, Ryukyu was a legal hero, and she had permission to use her "Quirk" to beat up the villain as long as the villain didn't die.

"So, is there something you want to ask or tell me, Naomasa-san?"

"Yes, do you know why Hero Killer has targeted you?"

"...he is targeting me, huh?"

"Yes. This is the only explanation that we could make after we saw what had happened."

Naomasa told him how Hero Killer appeared in Hosu City, which was also the reason why Tsuragamae also appeared in his room. He also told him how Midoriya, Iida, and Todoroki fought the Hero Killer, but Mineta quickly cut him.

"The three of them had fought the Hero Killer?" He asked in surprise.

"Yes." Naomasa didn't get angry and answered with a gentle smile.

"Are they alright?" His voice sounded anxious and worried.

"Yes, you don't need to worry. Currently, they're in the Hosu Hospital and being taken care of, but they're alright."

"That's great..." He sighed in relief, showing he was glad the three of them were alright.

They smiled and thought that he really cared about his friends, which made them quickly forget what he had done to the Hero Killer since they also felt that the Hero Killer wasn't someone that was worthy of being saved.

The Hero Killer was dammed since he dared to kill this innocent young man.

If this wasn't because of the law, they wouldn't send Stain to the hospital in Tartarus.

"Can you continue with the story?"

"Yes."

Naomasa nodded and told everyone in this room what happened in Hosu City last night, from Nomu, the Hero Killer, and everything from the beginning to the end without missing.

"However, before Stain is caught, the villain with a wrap gate "Quirk" that attacked Yuuei in the past appeared and teleported him away."

"Then, Stain, the Hero Killer, appeared on my side."

"Yes." Naomasa nodded and felt quite regretful since even Endeavor, the number two hero, and Gran Torino, the seasoned hero with a lot of experience, were unable to stop Stain and let this young man be hurt.

By this point, Mineta had stamped Stain, Kurogiri, and Shigaraki as dead persons.

'Well, I had planned to kill them from the beginning.'

However, even if he thought such a cruel thing, his face didn't seem to change. Instead, it seemed that he was in the middle of a thought.

"It must be weird for him, who was in Hosu City and on the verge of dying to come to my side and want to kill me, right?"

"...yes." Naomasa nodded with a sigh. "I just can't understand why he did this."

The police were also confused.

Why Mineta?

Was it because he was popular?

Was it because he was handsome, rich, and popular with women?

Even if they believed that many people cursed him for having all those things, no one would think they would really kill Mineta like Stain. Everyone was like this, after all. Everyone had their public appearance and real appearance. In public, it was impossible for them to show what they were really thinking, especially to act on what they really felt since they didn't even have the courage to tell what they really thought. How could they have the courage to act on what they wanted to do?

Everyone in the modern world had been domesticated and become docile, so the thought of killing had never crossed everyone's mind.

Even most people often thought that killing an animal was cruel, even if they ate beef, chicken, pork, or lamb every day.

Anyway, their conversation was about why he was being attacked.

He thought for a moment and could only come up with one answer.

"It's because he is distorted."

"....."

"Huh?"
