Chapter 20

{[Last Time In Hero's Harem]}

"Genos-Senpai said he moved in with Master Saitama, and Master Saitama says I can't move in because there's no more room." the athletic hero explained.

They all stared at her for a moment, then they slowly looked into the apartment to see Genos cooking, with Saitama coming into view after changing into some shorts and a shirt.

"You've gotta be kidding me." Vaccine Girl groaned.

"We have to deal with him 24/7?" Sub Queen moaned.

"Well...this part of City-Z is pretty big." Beast Queen started. "Maybe we could find an empty room somewhere else here?"

"Am...I missing something?" Mizuki asked in confusion.

"Yes. Much." Sub Queen deadpanned.

"If you are wishing to relocate closer, perhaps one of the other rooms would work?" Genos suggested.

"He's got a point." said Beast Queen. "We all moved into the other rooms in the building. Why not do the same?"

"Hmm." Mizuki hummed in thought again. "It's tempting."

"It's entirely up to you." Saitama said before approaching her. "So, you ready to train?"

"Yes sir!" She grinned while pumping her arms. "When do I start?" She looked at the furry hand that just landed on her shoulder before following it up to Beast Queen's grinning maw.

"Follow me."

-The roof-

"97...98...99...100!" Mizuki grunted with a determined grin before wiping her forehead, sweat glistening on her skin and soaking her top and shorts. "Whew! That's it for the 3 100 events! Ready for that 10k run?"

"Ready when you are!" Beast Queen snarled in anticipation as they headed down the stairwell.

"I've been meaning to ask, but is going topless part of the training?" Captain Mizuki asked.

"Nah. I have to deal with fur soaked sweat as it is. The lack of a shirt just means I don't have to deal with both." Beast Queen explains.

"So you run around topless each day?" she asked curiously.

"Pretty much." Beast Queen shrugged before taking off. "Try to keep up!"

"No fair! False start!" Mizuki yelled as she ran after Beast Queen. The human ran as fast as she could, but it didn't matter since the Beast Queen was already so far ahead. "She's fast!" she huffed before images of Saitama's speed came to her mind. "But if I can pull this off, then I'll outrun her before she knows it!"

-Beast Queen-

Having finished her daily run, she calmly waited for Mizuki to appear. And what better way to wait for someone than by taking a quick shower to wash the sweat out of her fur? Sadly, the shower in her room was too small to use. Good thing nobody was around to care about her twisting a fire hydrant open at an angle to wash herself. A quick strip soon found her under the cool water, a content smile crossing her lips.

"That's the stuff." she sighed as she let the water run over every part of her body. "I wish the doctor had let me wash off outside, but no. Always with the whole, 'risk of exposure to the Hero Association' and such each time."

"What doctor?" Mizuki asked.

"The doctor that created me." Beast Queen answered before blinking and turning to see Mizuki standing there, her smile back on her face. "Whoa! Either you gave up, or I lost track of time!"

"Captain Mizuki is no quitter!" Mizuki scoffed playfully. "Mind if I soak for a second?"

"Here. Let me help you." Beast Queen grinned as she used her hand and angled the water to shoot right at her, dousing the poor woman from head to toe.

"ACKPBT! HEY!" Mizuki yelped as she was bombarded with the water before Beast Queen finally closed the hydrant off.

"Come on. You can't say it wasn't refreshing." Beast Queen snickered at the human before grabbing her clothes and heading up the stairs. "Let's head for my room before somebody inside sees us."

"Right behind you." Mizuki nodded before following her up the stairs. "I wonder how long we'll need to do this before we see results."

"Who knows." Beast Queen shrugged as they reached the floor her room was on. She turned in surprise when she noticed Mizuki wasn't following her. "Where are you going?"

"I left my bag on the roof. It has a towel and a spare set of clothes." she explained before heading up higher. Beast Queen merely walked into her room before finding a couple of towels, which Saitama supplied upon request, and began drying herself off. It took awhile since it was hard to dry fur, but she'd done it before.

"Wow. You're really toned."

The lionness turned to see Mizuki standing in the doorway, sportsbag in hand.

"Thanks." Beast Queen nodded as she ran the towel over her breasts. "You gonna try and get changed as well?"

"Yep. Where's the bathroom?" Mizuki asked.

"Why? We're both women. Just change here." Beast Queen said as she switched to her lower half.

"But...the door's broken off. What if Master Saitama or Genos-Senpai come up?!" Mizuki panicked.

"Saitama's not gonna barge in, and Genos has enough brains in the metal head of his to announce himself." Beast Queen deadpanned at her.

"Oh...okay!" And with that, Mizuki stripped out of her soaking spandex and began drying her own self off.

"So, besides training, what does everyone else do here?" Mizuki asked.

"Not much. I usually just train or nap. Subterranean Queen disappears underground once a day to see how her people are. Vaccine Girl sits around and doesn't do much. Saitama watches the news for any trouble to stop. As for Genos, I have no idea what he does." Beast Queen explained.

"Okay." Mizuki nodded as she dried her long hair. "Does the Subterranean Queen usually wear a top and shorts made of hardened lava?"

"No. She usually wears a small band and thong made of hardened magma." Beast Queen corrected. "Says it's so she can move easier."

"That little?" Mizuki asked in shock. "And Master Saitama doesn't say anything?!"

"Actually, he's the reason she covers up more. He says that, even if we're monsters, we shouldn't go running around in the nude just because we came into being that way. Or if it feels more comfortable without clothes." Beast Queen grunted. "Guess he's not a degenerate like a lot of other humans are."
