After talking, Accelerator and Shokuhou Misaki went together to visit Yaoyorozu Momo, who was recovering in the hospital.
At the same time, they hoped to use this opportunity to verify the truth and coincidence of the 'story' in Mizukawa Ran's core memory.
According to the 'story,' Yaoyorozu Momo would have a tracker recording the location of the Nomu factory.
And the enemy leader 'AFO' would also appear there.
During the forest training camp, Yaoyorozu suffered a head injury, but now she's all bandaged up and taken care of.
The hospital's attending doctor advised the two visitors to keep their voices down when talking to the patient.
"Yaomomo☆"
"I'm here to see you~"
"Are you feeling any better☆"
Although Shokuhou Misaki was still her usual quirky self, the thoughtful Yaoyorozu Momo understood just how worried her friend was for her, even pretending it was her first visit.
After Yaoyorozu gradually woke up, the on-duty doctor informed her that besides her parents and teachers, Shokuhou and Todoroki had visited her several times during her unconsciousness.
With a white bandage wrapped around her forehead and her usually tied-up silky black hair now cascading loosely, Yaoyorozu apologized to her friend.
"Sorry, Misaki-chan."
"You've had to see me in such an unbecoming state."
Shokuhou Misaki gently approached the window, slowly embracing her best friend with a tender voice.
"Yaomomo, you always worry too much."
Yaoyorozu could feel her friend's anxiety from the strength of her hug.
It's known that Shokuhou Misaki isn't just bad at sports or physically weak.
In general, she's not good at any physical activities.
But now, the friend hugging her was using all her strength.
In fact, the older Yaoyorozu was like a mature sister, comforting her younger friend.
"Misaki-chan, you don't have to be so dramatic."
"I'm not that badly hurt. The doctor said I fainted because I overused my Quirk and exhausted too much energy."
At that moment, Yaoyorozu noticed Accelerator following behind her friend.
Seeing this intimate embrace, the pretty and gentle miss became somewhat flustered.
Yaoyorozu blushed and gently pinched her friend, signaling her to let go quickly.
But Shokuhou Misaki pretended to cry out in pain loudly.
"Ouch! That hurts! Yaomomo, why are you pinching me?!"
Knowing Shokuhou Misaki's true nature, Yaoyorozu sighed in resignation, her powerless friend clearly had no intention of letting go.
The black-haired girl sitting on the bed, her face flushed but trying to remain calm, greeted Accelerator.
"Oh, isn't that Accelerator? Greetings~"
Accelerator awkwardly responded with a "Hmm."
Meanwhile, Shokuhou Misaki, like a fox that got into the henhouse, reveled in the joy of seeing her beloved and her best friend embarrassed because of her.
After a little while, knowing someone's "efficiency above all" mindset and being adept at reading people's hearts, Shokuhou Misaki voluntarily released her guilty hands.
The overly gentle Yaoyorozu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shokuhou Misaki got straight to the point.
"Yaomomo, do you have a recorder that tracks the enemy's movements?"
Yaoyorozu Momo tilted her head, puzzled.
"I do, but how did you know about it, Misaki-chan?"
Shokuhou chose not to immediately tell her best friend about the "story."
"Don't worry, when I handle things, aren't I always particularly careful?" Yaoyorozu sighed at her best friend's usual confidence.
"Yes, yes, yes~"
After a moment of resignation, the black-haired girl's expression turned serious. She first glanced at her best friend and then fixed her gaze on Accelerator, reminding them both.
"Even though you two indeed possess the power to crush danger."
"As a classmate and friend, I still hope that you both won't encounter any accidents."
"If you can promise me to be cautious and careful, then I can give it to you now."
After exchanging a look with Shokuhou Misaki and confirming their resolve, Accelerator smiled and said,
"I'll make sure she's safe."
Shokuhou Misaki then exaggeratedly leaned into Accelerator's embrace and cooed,
"Then my safety is in your hands, Accelerator-kun."
The sensation from her firm figure made him feel a bit embarrassed.
Any man would easily be overwhelmed by such a powerful advance.
Yaoyorozu, accustomed to ignoring their interactions, continued speaking.
"Class B's Awase helped me out."
"He attached a transmitter to another retreating enemy." (It wasn't the Nomu that Accelerator took down, but another one that retreated with the second batch, including Wotome and others. Only one Nomu was chasing Yaoyorozu and Awase.)
Accelerator hadn't expected Yaoyorozu to be able to pull off such a move when completely overpowered by the enemy.
The lady who initially seemed all talk when she first arrived at U.A. had clearly become an outstanding hero worth observing, someone who understood her limits and knew what to do and what she could do.
In fact, if other classmates knew this information and wanted to get the tracker from Yaoyorozu, she wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
Yaoyorozu truly trusted Accelerator and Shokuhou Misaki.
"Yaoyorozu has also grown remarkably," Accelerator couldn't help but remark.
Yaoyorozu then took out a device from under her pillow and said,
"This is the receiver for the signal. Please use it when you search."
"It's all up to you now."
Sitting alone on her hospital bed, with a bandage around her forehead, the girl showed a reluctant expression and said,
"My classmates are in danger, and even my own life was saved thanks to Accelerator-kun's timely arrival."
"Although I'm very unwilling to admit it, I'm well aware of my lack of strength, and this is the only way I can assist you."
"So, I hope you can save Bakugo and Midoriya for me as well."
Accelerator looked at Yaoyorozu with a rare seriousness and responded firmly,
"Leave it to me to end all this."
Through developments similar to those in the "story," both Accelerator and Shokuhou once again confirmed the authenticity of the "story."
