Chapter 11 Night Skull vs More Idiots (Momotaro)

--Guys... as you have heard, there is a vigilante loose in the city, the school reminds you that it is illegal to apply justice on your own and if any of you come across that "Skull" you must report it to the police or to the hero closest professional.

Mama Caterpillar aka Aizawa-sensei started the class with those words, everyone in the room looked both terrified and excited by the presence of "Night Skull" in my case I am active thanks to the energy of the "Avalon" but mentally I am quite tired I haven't slept much in the last week but my wallet has gotten pretty heavy.

How come the good Neighbor Spider suffered so much for cash? Yesterday I arrested a micro-drug dealer and destroyed not only 5 kilos of that garbage but seized 250 thousand yen, I could invite Fuyumi-nee to a modest romantic dinner with that but I want something bigger, she deserves something more.

--Okay~ look for 1 million yen~*yawn*

--You're more sleepy than usual Kurogane-kun.

--I've been doing some training... I'm a bit tired~ thanks for worrying Uraraka-san.

It's nothing... but...

--But?

--I heard that you proposed to Todoroki's sister...

Uraraka was blushing but her words hurt me for some reason.

--Well, I did but she still hasn't answered me…in fact she's been avoiding me for the last week, I haven't seen her in all this time, so I'll take her silence as a refusal~ in short I was rejected~ applause for me~

Between acting confident, pedantic, and dense rom-com leading man, I'd rather ridicule myself than pity an abandoned dog to see if I can get out of this fucking Friendzone.

I love Fuyumi but it's more like a platonic love that will never come true but my affection for Uraraka is different, I won't say that I don't feel unhealthy desires for her but wanting to see her safe and help her fulfill her dreams is something that is always in So my mind. If I feel serious romantic emotions towards Uraraka Ochako and this Friendzone is filling my little and almost non-existent patience that I have.

--I'm sorry, Kurogane-kun... I didn't know that...

--Don't worry, I'm resistant to damage~ however let's go get ice cream later~

--Sure~

***

After school, I actually ended up going to eat ice cream with Uraraka only…

--Thanks for the invitation.

--The ice cream in this shop is promoted by Kamui-woods.

--Thank you for the ice cream Kuro-kyun~ Gero~*

I won't be upset by the appearance of Tsuyu Asui aka Frog-kawai but "Seaweed Hair" and "Mr.Square-san" aka Iida Tenya coming together was a real blow to my self-esteem. I know Uraraka doesn't do it on purpose but what can I say… except… It hurts!

***

After the ice cream fiasco and a slight decrease in my capital I felt a great motivation to go out and beat bad guys to a pulp but this time just for fun.

--Okay~ let's work~

Office worker-onee-san's website ended up opening a public forum where people post not only my appearances but also warn of possible criminal hangouts, basically now I have my own Bat-Signal, although I still have to run from place to place another while patrolling the district.

***

Around one o'clock in the morning and after some minor acts like helping some drunks to get to the station or looking for lawsuits from a store, I arrived at a hot spot marked on the forum and fence that did not disappoint me.

--Look at all this dad~

What do you get when you combine an abandoned building, seedy criminals, guns, drugs, loud music, and girls with little to no clothing? The answer is… An ATM with no withdrawal limit~

--Chickens ready to be plucked~

I found a perfect position to attack, near a skylight and with a free shot towards the main fuse box, today was a moonless night, new moon, sheltered by darkness I started the hunt.

***

Screams and curses echoed through the room as the lights went out, Yamada was the leader of this gang, they were just a small group affiliated with a larger gang but he was fine with it, he had money, guns, drugs and women, his boys he was the same but there was a problem and he was that crazy vigilante that came out of nowhere, Yamada had a fairly decent Quirk that allowed him to Change the Left and Right perception of people within his range of vision and less than ten meters from him, but he was relegated to a support class until he dropped out of school and became a criminal.

--Someone go check the fuses... Saru, you go.

--Yes Boss…

A retarded-looking monkey-faced guy walked towards the exit while taking a shotgun in his hand. Yamada didn't know why but he had a bad feeling.

--Saru wait, Inu, Neko come with him, Buffalo stay with me while Howl takes the girls to their rooms.

Yamada gave his orders to his subordinates with animal features, they were the Mountain Beats gang, a gang dedicated to trafficking people, weapons and in some cases drugs. Yamada was a third class criminal but he was happy being just a small dealer and pimp, that was his life and he was happy with it.

--Viper... see something?

Yamada asked the little boy sitting next to him, this was Viper, his right hand, he had the same unattractive animal features as his other companions but he had an advantage over the others, he had the perception of the smell of snakes so the darkness and the gloom was no problem for him.

--Nothing boss…but something feels strange.

--I see I'm not the only one... Are you ready?

--Of course, boss...

Bufalo and Viper took their weapons, 9.mm, revolvers and Glock pistols each took a weapon from the table and prepared to wait. Unfortunately for him, his wait was not long.

**BOOOOM**

*BANG*BANG*

*BANG*

The sound of a shotgun blast was followed by several minor bangs as the three gripped their weapons and instinctively aimed for the door through which their companions exited.

*SILENCE*

A gloomy silence reigned in the building as if the shots from just a few moments ago were a lie.

--What the hell was that?

Unable to take the pressure, Buffalo protested as he walked towards the door.

--Wait Buffalo!

--BOSS!

--Let's wait for Howl, then we'll go—

*BANG*

A new shot rang out but this time in the opposite direction, the sound came from the corridor through which his avian companion had left.

--FUCK!

--BOSS!

-- LET'S GO FIND THAT SON OF A BITCH!!!

The remaining two nodded at Yamada's words, took their weapons along with more powerful ones, and marched off to find the rat.

***

--A monkey, a dog and a bird, just missing an Oni and a peach and we will have Momotaro~

I mocked my own sense of humor as I checked the remaining bullets in each chamber, I had already looted the money from the bodies and now only the weapons remained. The bird man made my job a lot easier since he showed me where they kept the girls… a human trafficking gang, there is no need to explain that I am going to kill them all. Having little time to work since the gunshots were able to alert the neighbors and call the police, the Temple Run mode has started.

***

Yamada learned a few things in his years as a support and a criminal and that was always trust your gut, his gut has saved his ass countless times and this time his gut tells him to run but he can't run there is too much merchandise in this place like to leave her so she can just use them as a shield and escape with her life.

--Buffalo, if you see something moving, shoot. Viper you are the fastest of us go and prepare the truck, Buffalo and I will take the merchandise and we will get out of here.

--Boss?

--Understood… there is no option.

--Exactly…

--I'm going to the truck, I'll wait ready to board.

--Go.

With that exchange the short youth ran to the ground and disappeared into the darkness.

--Buffalo let's go for the merchandise.

--Yes Boss.

The two men moved to where the young women were being held prisoner, subduing them with various concoctions, violence and drugs. Without realizing that a pair of Violet eyes shone above them with a small silver sparkle.

***

--... (An Oni came out! And that guy must be Momotaro, well time to bring the curtain down on them)

***

**BANG**

**BANG**

**BANG**

**BANG**

**BANG**

**BANG**

Five continuous and too close detonations surprised Yamada who could only cover himself with the large body of his partner.

-- Hey, Buffalo...

--...

He had no answer except a warm, wet feeling on his hand, a smear of blood.

Buffalo fell inert with five holes in his body, three in his chest and two in his head, whoever the opponent was was a good shot, Yamada could only curse in his heart and activate his Quirk to the fullest, albeit You are not sure where the enemy is whenever you are facing, your senses will reverse giving you more chances to escape.

Sadly, Yamada made a mistake, he thought that the attacks could only come from one direction, front or back, he never thought of a third option.

*BANG*

One last shot and Yamada could only feel his body fall.

--Hanging upside down like a spider is quite tiring but it's a good exercise~

A black figure in a gray skull mask stepped out of the darkness, dark ice hooks disappearing from its shoes.

--Okay, let's take the money and open the cells before the police arrive~

Fifteen minutes later, a series of police patrols along with several professional heroes stormed the abandoned building, rescued about 15 girls reported missing in different districts, as well as seized several weapons and kilos of drugs, the only bad thing was the six corpses found in the area, which coincided with the description of the perpetrators by the girls. The worst part is the description of the perpetrator of the homicides, who in turn is the one who facilitated the rescue of the girls.

Robed from head to toe in black with a gray skull mask, Night Skull is an extreme vigilante who not only apprehends criminals but depending on their crime their punishments range from broken bones to death, not to mention their apparent compulsion to looting the money of their victims, this does not bother the heroes but the police (the corrupt) is somewhat annoying since someone already took their share of the loot.

***

--270 thousand, 280 thousand, 295 thousand, 300 thousand yen~ Ah! How I love it when idiots have their money in easy-to-carry bags~

Near dawn I counted my loot in the safety of my home.
