After his unplanned meeting with Nezu, Izuku messaged Rumi to ask where she wanted to meet up before heading to the roof to peruse the candidate list and await her arrival.

Before three full minutes could pass, the sound of several sonic booms reached Izuku's ears before Rumi, wearing her Hero Costume, touched down on the roof, sliding to a stop after several meters.

"I adore how quickly you come running the moment I call," mused Izuku, setting aside the tablet to support Rumi by her ass as she jumped on and wrapped her arms and legs around him for a kiss. The way her rabbit-like tail waggled made Izuku want to push her down on the spot, but he held himself back even as she deliberately rubbed her pussy against his bulge.

Realizing they weren't going to fuck, Rumi withdrew her lips after several minutes, her breathing a bit ragged as she adopted a feral grin, raised her right brow, and asked, "Since when aren't you in the mood...?"

"It's pretty obvious that I am..." replied Izuku, giving his hips a tentative buck that caused his bulge to grind deeper into Rumi as he explained, "I just have a different location in mind."

"Then what are we waiting for...?" asked Rumi, climbing down from Izuku and stretching her legs from side to side like a runner preparing for a race.

"Before that, mind looking at this?" asked Izuku, handing Rumi the tablet and explaining its origins. She wasn't even remotely surprised to learn the Hero Public Safety Commission was amassing more information than they were legally permitted, but her brows perked when she noticed a familiar face.

"Wow, talk about a blast from the past. This chick actually tried recruiting me to a rabbit-themed Escort Service when I first began making a name for myself as a Hero," said Rumi, clicking on the profile of a woman named Kokoa Usagi and showing it to Izuku. Like Rumi, the girl in the picture had rabbit ears and a tail. Instead of healthy brown skin and an athletic figure, however, Kokoa was ghastly pale, and while her figure was outstanding, it was clear at a glance she didn't take very good care of it. Her hair and fur were also soot black, the former fashioned into a pixie cut, and the sclera of her yellow, somewhat lifeless eyes were completely black.

"An Escort Service...?" parroted Izuku, frowning.

Shrugging as if it didn't concern her, Rumi pointed out, "I'm not the only sexually charged rabbit person running around. Also, it's common for those with Heteromorphic and animal-themed groups to gather and form communities that cater to their specific needs. The Kurousagi Club might be an Escort Service, but they only cater to high-end clients and are more like bodyguards you can fuck than traditional sex workers. My only gripe is that, after I became popular, they modified their female escort outfit to resemble my Hero Costume."

"I mean...I can't blame them..." said Izuku, eyeing Rumi like a hungry wolf, earning himself a light punch in the arm for his troubles. Getting punched was expected. What he didn't anticipate was Rumi suggesting, "Anyway, since they're on this list, we should consider recruiting them. They might not be able to hold a candle to me, but most people with second or third-generation Rabbit-type Quirks are strong and fast. If nothing else, they'd make decent scouts, especially if you outfit them with ATs."

"Well, if you think it's a good idea, I can at least meet with them," replied Izuku, grinning as he teased, "It could be...interesting seeing you lead a team of people with Rabbit Quirks."

Rolling her eyes and crossing her arms, Rumi playfully countered, "More than half of the Kurousagi Club's members are male escorts. Are you sure you want me leading such a group~?"

Though he knew Rumi was teasing him, Izuku maintained his smile as he wrapped his arms around the beautiful bunny girl, holding her close as he smolderingly asserted, "You're mine, Rumi Usagiyama. Now and forever..."

Opening her mouth to point out they belonged to each other, Rumi was silenced by Izuku's deep and passionate kiss. She didn't appreciate being interrupted, but when Izuku squeezed her ass and rubbed the base of her tail with his index finger, Rumi's instincts quickly overtook her reason...

"Try to get along from now on, okay?" said Izuku, smacking the asses of Inko and Rumi as they lay on opposite sides of him, breathing heavily as their gazes met in response to his words.

As neither responded, Izuku gave Inko's and Rumi's asses a firm squeeze as he 'helplessly' mused, "Then I guess we'll just have to keep meeting up like this until the two of you become friends. Lucky me..."

Punctuating his words, Izuku alternated between kissing Rumi and Inko. The latter was annoyed that he started with Rumi, but she didn't voice her complaint aloud. Instead, after receiving a kiss of her own, Inko waited for Izuku to return his attention to Rumi before rising to a seated position and proceeding to suck his cock, taking advantage of the fact her rabbit-eared 'contender' disliked performing such acts. Her actions successfully triggered Rumi's competitive spirit, and, as a result, Izuku abruptly found himself participating in an impromptu sex Olympics. Inko handily won the blowjob competition, but while her pussy was tailor-made to fit him like a glove, Rumi dominated most of the other events as her inherent tightness, muscle control, and vigor were on a completely different level. As strange as it might sound, this 'inspired' Inko, so while she wasn't particularly fond of Rumi, the two agreed to meet up and train together so she wouldn't fall behind any of the other girls...

[October 25th, 2149]

"Have you gotten used to staying at UA? Sorry if it seems like I left the moment you arrived..." muttered Izuku, gently shampooing Eri's hair as she sat atop a bath stool with a pink shower cap on, happily kicking and tapping her feet against the bathroom floor.

"It's fine~!" replied Eri, smiling brightly. "I know Onii-chan was off doing important things, and everyone here is super nice to me~!"

"That's good to hear. Now, close your eyes, just to be safe..." said Izuku, waiting until Eri shut her eyes before pouring warm water over her head. He wasn't accustomed to bathing others, but since Nemuri insisted it was important for him to learn, he did his best to take the experience in stride. According to her, healthy skinship with a paternal figure was important to prevent young girls from developing self-esteem and trust issues that left them susceptible to being exploited by others, so once Eri's hair was free of suds, Izuku picked her up by the pits of her arms, causing her to laugh as he carried her over to the bath, setting her down before making himself comfortable.

Grabbing the toy submarine she often played with, Eri began dunking it under the water and making sound effects with her mouth, barely paying attention to Izuku as he observed her with a relaxed, neutral expression. He was a little worried that she would ask awkward questions or exhibit a healthy but awkward intrigue in the differences between their bodies, but when their gazes met, Eri just beamed, held up her toy, and asked, "Does Onii-chan like submarines?"

"They're awesome, but I'd never want to be inside of one," replied Izuku, causing the pale-haired girl to tilt her head adorably and ask, "Why not...?"

Deliberating his response, Izuku carefully explained, "There's something called barometric pressure that you'll learn about later in your studies. To explain it simply, water is super heavy, and the deeper you go, the heavier it gets. That makes exploring the bottom of the ocean very difficult and is one of the reasons you have to take a bunch of safety courses before you can go scuba diving."

"So submarines are dangerous...?" asked Eri, looking slightly anxious as she stared at her formerly favorite bath toy.

Shaking his head, Izuku's expression softened as he clarified, "Only if you aren't careful. It's kind of like crossing the street. So long as you look both ways and confirm there are no cars, it's safe. The only time being on a sub is dangerous is when you ignore safety procedures and place yourself in a dangerous situation. Eri-chan doesn't have to worry about things like that. Not unless you join the Maritime Special Defense Force or decide to be an underwater researcher."

Breathing a sigh of relief, Eri tried playing with her submarine again, but it wasn't as fun as before. Izuku felt a little guilty about this, so before she could set it aside, he began channeling his Mana through the bath water, similar to when he used Qigong Stike or Breakthrough. The water became choppy in response as Izuku, holding his right hand beneath its surface, extending tiny tendrils of Black Whip like the tentacles of a Kraken as he mused, "Oh no, the submarine is under attack. Only the skilled commands of Captain Eri can hope to save the people and crew."

Though she initially took the toy out of the water, Eri's red eyes glistened when Izuku referred to her as Captain. Thus, after returning the sub to the water, she exclaimed, "Take evasive maneuvers~!" before weaving the toy submarine between the tendrils with a deftness that was astonishing for a child but completely expected from her...

--------------------

As she was nearby whenever the students of Classes 1-A and 1-B were training with Ryuko, Eri's Level, despite only focusing on her lessons with Chiyo, was keeping pace with Bakugo's. The rate at which she stockpiled Vitality also increased as she used and became better acquainted with her Quirk, so even though she was only six years old, Eri's Effective Level hovered around 220. Fortunately, she was a very smart and obedient girl, lest Chiyo would be at her wit's end trying to chase the speedy little angel around...

After seeing Eri safely to the Nurse's Office, Izuku walked through the largely emptied halls of UA with his hands in his pockets and a relaxed smile on his face. Part of him regretted testing out of the curriculum by taking the CBEs, but being able to walk around freely while everyone else was trapped inside a classroom or off doing mandatory training made him feel like the king of the school.

*vzzzt* *vzzzt* *vzzzt*

Removing his cell phone from his pocket and unlocking it with both his thumbprint and a complex pattern, Izuku's brows perked as the message was from Moe Kamiji, aka Fiery Haired Hero: Burnin. She was one of the Pros that had shown up at Momo's birthday celebration, but her official status was that of a Sidekick. More accurately, she was the de facto top-ranked Sidekick of the Rank 2 Hero, Endeavor.

'Hey, hey, I heard you were back in Japan. If you're willing and have time, could you drop by the Endeavor Agency? The Boss Man wanted to talk to you about doing a team-up. If you're against that, we could grab a bite to eat once my shift is over.'

Understanding that they would likely be doing more than grabbing a bite to eat if he answered in the affirmative, Izuku spent a solid three minutes deliberating before responding, 'Both sound good. I'll stop by in-costume once I take care of a few things. If your boss asks, tell him I'll be there at 8 AM on the dot.'

'Please don't be late,' replied Moe, less than ten seconds after Izuku sent his text. Then, though it wasn't really necessary, she added, 'I heard you and the Boss Man got into it at the UA Sports Festival. We'll all need to work together to protect Japan, so while I won't tell you to befriend the guy, try to get along in public.'

'I'm not that petty,' Izuku responded, lying through the tips of his fingers. Fortunately for Endeavor, he knew the man had a pretty major redemption arc after the retirement of Toshinori in canon. Thus, so long as the flaming sociopath didn't go out of his way to antagonize him, Izuku would play his part with a smile, not for Endeavor's sake, but out of consideration for his former classmate, Shoto, and his prospective Party member, Fuyumi. The latter was a member of his expanded fan club and had been collecting his photos, so if push came to shove, Izuku had a pretty good way of getting back at the giant flaming asshole; making the daughter he once regarded as a 'failure' even more powerful than him. He could also fuck her brains out, but that was for Fuyumi to decide...
