29: Smile

Smile

__________ POV Beru__________1

It's already been three months since that brat got mad at me. It's been mostly quiet, with me going to the forest and testing out quirk combinations.

The bank robbery went so well that no one could even pin it on me. Security footage didn't catch me, and there's no eyewitness.

Shigaraki complained to All for One about the little amount of money I brought him.

But that didn't really get anywhere, big boy All for One has other stuff to do than hearing his disciple cry about the lack of money.

I don't even know why this brat needs money. Did he start playing Gacha games or something? Well, whatever.

There are some things I could do now. I could go and try to pick up some chicks. I always had my way with words...

Oh yeah. I can't, cuz I am the most wanted villain in Japan or some shit. Apparently, the guy that I fought with was a bit more popular than I thought.

And me giving him a good fight was seen as a villainous action. Boohoo, people got scared, now I'm a 'villain'.

I didn't even do anything bad! Most of the property damage was done by that guy.

My punches mostly absorbed the shock of his, but I didn't actually release shockwaves of my own... Well, not as many as he did.

So even that can't really be pinned on me. It was a mutual effort.

And I even helped that one civilian. No one on the news seems to be talking about that though...

Maybe because I cut up that one villain in the beginning? Well, I didn't really kill him, I even held back quite a bit. Or maybe it was the other villain with the tails? Or maybe all the warehouse people I killed? Did they finally find out about that? (could be anybody really)

Hmm, I guess I can only pick up chicks that are also villains? Nah, I don't dig these types.

I've had my fair share of 'dangerous' women in my past life.

From daughters of heads of the Italian mafia to hitmen sent after the boss, even the occasional junkie. Some were good in bed too.

But they always had some weird shit in mind. One tried to kill me, another tried to cut off strips of my flesh, she said she wanted us to both eat a few bites.

Heh, I remember one that was obviously trying to get information out of me. Well, I still slept with her, but I didn't talk much...

And, the worst of all, one lady actually asked for a commitment. You can guess that I dived out the window the second she took a bathroom break.

Simply put, I don't really trust chicks with a criminal background.

Words of wisdom, 'If she's a beauty and a criminal, there's a 50/50 chance she's also bad shit insane.' And I always lost that coinflip.

So... What should I do now? I looked at Kurogiri, he looked back at me, waiting for me to finish my bottle of vodka.

"NOMU!" Great, I guess I won't get to finish it now.

I walked towards the crybaby's room again. When will he mature? I mean, he probably won't get to, I don't think I'll wait that long.

When I entered his room, the usual smell of stale air and expired personality hit me in the face.

He had another picture in his hands. "I want you to kill this person!" He shoved that picture into my face. I really don't like his attitude.

I ripped the photo out of his hand, a small piece of it was ripped off, but I didn't care. I just looked at the photo for a bit.

"This guy has been getting in the way of our informant and recruiter for a while now..." What?! Shigaraki actually asking me to do something productive?!

Is this a prank? Where are the cameras at?

"I need you to kill him. He goes by Muscular. He's a villain, like us, but he's a bit too uncontrollable to keep alive..." He is actually giving me concise information.

What is this supposed to mean? Is he changing?

"We don't know where he is, we just know he's in the city... But you should be able to find him easily enough..." Why is he so serious all of a sudden?

Just yesterday he was complaining about the way his teammates(bots) played. Now here he is, acting logical and composed...

"His quirk allows him to have complete control over his muscle mass, expand it and strengthen himself... Alright, that's all. Get to it!"

Oh, I get it. This is a mission from All for One, I guess he decided to give it to me through Shigaraki to see how his disciple would handle the situation.

I mean, it's not that I don't believe he would be able to change, but this is a bit too fast.

I left the room to look for this 'Muscular' guy. Who names themselves Muscular?

He sounds like the worst type of gym bro. The one that lowkey takes steroids and brags at every given opportunity. (and makes opportunities when he can't find them)

Still, finding a single man in a city will take me a bit. Much like it took me a few days to find the tail guy.

Now that I think about it... I have yet to actually use his quirk in a fight. This is a good enough opportunity.

I can also take this Gym bro's quirk since it sounds like it could go well with a few of my own.

I quickly flew out, scouting the entire city and looking through every dirty alleyway. But I failed to find anything. So, I decided to expand my range by a few dozen kilometres.

Checking the villages around, just in case. And, bingo, first try(not really, this is like the 4th village I check but give me a break I'm tired).

He seemed to be in an altercation with two other, weirdly dressed people. I've come to call all people that dress oddly heroes, so I'll call them that for now.

I looked at them for a bit, a man and a woman. They seem to have water-related quirks, trying to keep the villain at bay with streams of water. But Muscular isn't really having any of that.

He's brute-forcing his way through the tides with a sadistic smile on his face... I don't really like it. I can already tell I won't be friends with this guy.

He seems to be winning. He managed to punch the man, who was sent flying into one of the houses.

The woman is also about to take a punch, but she looks hot, so I'll save her(hey, at least I'm honest).

Just as his hand was about to reach her I appeared by her side and pulled her towards the other wounded hero.

"W-what happened?" The woman asked in a panic.

"Calm down~ I'll take it from here~," I said in my usual voice. She looked extremely startled when seeing me.

The villain's fist hit the ground, he stared at it in confusion for a bit. But then noticed me.

"Oh OH! Japan's 'most infamous' villain is saving a hero?!" The demented smile on his face seemed to get larger and more stretched...

His mocking words don't really affect me much...

But that smile... It irks me... I guess I have to wipe it off his face...
