Chapter 126: Hero Agency Internship
Author: Geraint
During lunchtime, Mina asked her peers whether they'd chosen an agency yet. Minoru said he'd picked Mt. Lady's agency, and Tsuyu suggested she only chose it because he's perverted. Mashirao noted that it was odd Mina didn't receive offers despite making it to the second round of the finals. Ochaco tried to ask Izuku who he'd chosen, but she and several other students caught Izuku muttering to himself while trying to make a selection. Ochaco revealed that she'd chosen the Battle Hero: Gunhead's agency because she wanted to get stronger and gain a different perspective from being a rescue hero.
Then, she noticed Izuku working out by hovering slightly above his seat, and Katsuki was getting annoyed when his peers started to talk about Izuku.
"Kacchan~ Have you chosen an agency already?"
"Why would I tell you that--Huh?"
Katsuki was surprised and glanced behind him, seeing Ichika eating at the other table with Roboco, Momo, Kyouka, Nejire, Toru, and Himiko.
When others noticed them, Minoru intensely stared at Ichika, surrounded by beautiful girls.
"Damn it! Why him?! He's turning this hero school into his harem! I'm so jealous!"
Mashirao awkwardly smiled at his reaction.
Kyouka slammed her hand on the table and yelled,
"Don't count me in his harem, you idiot! I'm just here because Momo is my friend."
I don't count because he's my father and creator, Roboco followed, playing with her phone.
There was an awkward silence.
"You guys need to choose wisely. If you don't, you'll return to school without learning anything or improving," Kyouka scolded.
"Ichika-kun, have you chosen an agency yet?" Toru asked.
"Yeah, it's been decided for a long time. It's a promise."
Toru, Momo, and Nejire turned pale, realizing who he was talking about.
"Hey, Ichika-kun! Which agency are you talking about?" Mina asked curiously.
"She doesn't have an agency. She's the Rabbit Hero: Mirko."
"Uh. Isn't she the No. 5 Female Pro Hero? What's your relationship with her?"
"Well... I've known her for a long time, even before she became a Pro Hero, right, Kacchan?"
"I don't care about thigh fetishes!" Bakugou retorted.
"Hey, stop revealing your friend's secrets!"
"Thanks to you, I've become a laughingstock to my parents!"
"I was the one who got laughed at!"
Bakugou and Ichika glared at each other.
A few days later, at the start of Ichika's internship with Mirko, Ichika, in his adult form, was chasing after Mirko while patrolling the city.
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
"RUMI!! WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FROM ME?!"
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!! YOU'RE CREEPING ME OUT!! WHY ARE YOU IN THAT FORM?!"
"I WANT TO LOOK STRAIGHT INTO YOUR EYES! I REALLY MISS YOU!"
"GYAAAAAAAAH!!"
Ryukyu, patrolling alone, saw Mirko running past her.
"HELP ME, RYUKYU! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT HIM!"
"Huh? What are those two doing in the middle of the day?"
"RUUUUMI!!"
Ryukyu blocked the way, and Ichika stopped in front of her.
"Stop messing around, Falcon! Please take the patrol duty seriously!" Ryukyu scolded him.
"But this is my payback for her climbing into my bed last night when I was tired and in my child form."
"Then do it tonight, not during working hours!"
Ryukyu grabbed his wrist and pulled him with her.
"Eh?!"
"I'll watch over you, so you're patrolling with me!"
She dragged Ichika along with her.
While having lunch together at a restaurant, Ryukyu asked,
"So, you're interning with her for the whole week. She doesn't have an agency and works alone. Why choose her?"
"A promise is a promise," Ichika sipped his tea.
Ryukyu fidgeted and became flustered, telling him,
"You know, Ichika... I was also recruiting you after the Sports Festival, and..."
"I'm happy that you did it for me, but maybe next time. That idiot made a promise with me."
"I see..."
Ryukyu looked embarrassed.
"Since Rumi doesn't want to hang out with me today, I guess I'll--Huh?"
Ichika noticed that his hands were shaking when he stood up.
"There's no point in me maintaining this form. I'll be back." He left the table and went straight to the restroom.
When Ichika returned, he was in his child form, wearing civilian clothes.
"I'll be in this form for a while."
This child form was kind of endearing to Ryukyu.
"Cute..."
Ichika heard her and looked at her with squinted eyes, disappointed.
"Sorry, Ichika." Ryukyu smiled awkwardly.
Ichika sighed, seeing her infatuation with his smaller version.
After their patrol, Ichika returned to Mirko's apartment, where she saw him in his younger child form.
"Huh?"
"What?"
Mirko grabbed him and hugged him.
"Hey!"
She closed the door and took him to the living room.
Sitting on the couch, watching a fighting channel, she sniffed his head.
Ichika just let her do what she wanted.
That night, Ichika went to sleep on his futon, which was in the same room as Mirko.
"Uuuuuu..."
Unable to sleep, Mirko checked if Ichika was already sleeping. Then, she sneaked under his blanket. She slowly moved to his side and embraced him from behind, snuggling her arms and legs to his body until she finally fell asleep comfortably with him.
Morning came, and Ichika woke up early, noticing that he couldn't move his body. Turning around, he found Mirko snuggling against him.
Ichika smiled mischievously and slowly transformed back into his adult form. He managed to escape from her arms and legs, then embraced her instead.
"Mmm..."
He noticed that Mirko was only wearing underwear beneath her baggy white shirt. His hand reached for her buttocks, touching her fluffy rabbit tail.
"Hm?"
Mirko suddenly woke up and jumped out of his futon. She looked wary of him.
Ichika stood up from his futon, yawning.
"Good morning, Rumi."
He reverted back to his teenager form.
"I'll go and make breakfast. Go wash your face." Ichika left the room.
While eating breakfast together, Ichika was skinning carrots and slicing them into small strips. He fed them to Mirko as she munched on them.
This is Ichika's daily life during his internship with Mirko.
