The next day, when Midoriya Izuku went to Hero Course Class A to gather information as usual, there was another person around him, Takeyama.
When Bakugo Katsuki saw this, he got angry at Midoriya, but Takeyama quickly shut him down with one sentence.
"Loser, be quiet!"
Midoriya saw Bakugo's face turn red with anger, but since it was true, he couldn't deny that he had been defeated by Takeyama.
"Kacchan... !"
"Midoriya..."
As Midoriya was about to leave, Ochako tugged at his sleeve and pulled him aside at the classroom door to ask him something.
"Um... Midoriya-kun... when did you meet Takeyama-san?"
Ochako was very embarrassed to ask this, as it was a personal question. So far, Midoriya had only been close to Ochako, Iida Tenya, and Ojiro Mashirao in Hero Course Class A. Bakugo was the only one who didn't like him.
Midoriya's relationship with the other students in Hero Course Class A was just knowing who they were, without much interaction.
But suddenly, Takeyama was also around Midoriya, and she was being very friendly. This made Ochako feel like she was missing something.
"Oh, we knew each other when we were kids, but we didn't recognize each other right away."
"Oh... I see..."
Hearing Midoriya's explanation, Ochako felt a bit relieved. She thought Midoriya and Takeyama might have some secret relationship.
After that, Midoriya Izuku went back to the Support Course. Although he often visited the Hero Course, he spent most of his time in his own class.
"Midoriya-chan, who was following you?!"
"It was a friend from childhood, but we didn't recognize each other at first."
"Really...?"
Hatsume Mei was a bit skeptical. If it was a childhood friend, why would they follow him? It didn't seem simple!
But after three seconds of doubt, Hatsume Mei shifted her focus back to her current invention. For this genius inventor girl, nothing was more important than developing new equipment.
"By the way, Midoriya-chan, have you thought of a name for the baby?"
"Uh... not yet~~"
Hatsume Mei's new invention, the "roller shoes," was one of her most dedicated creations. Just calling them roller shoes seemed a bit boring.
"Think of a name quickly, this is my baby that I worked hard on for ten months!"
"That sounds really misleading..."
Compared to Hatsume Mei's thumbs up and Midoriya Izuku's super embarrassed look, if someone who didn't know the context heard this, they might think he had some improper relationship with Hatsume Mei.
Even so, the genius inventor girl worked tirelessly to make the roller shoes for Midoriya, adding more than ten functions, which required a lot of skill. It was really hard for her.
So far, Midoriya had only mastered three functions of the roller shoes, the most basic being the power boost, which could make him reach a speed of 150 km/h!
In the afternoon, just before school ended, two unexpected visitors came to Midoriya Izuku's Support Course class. They were Uraraka Ochako and Takeyama Urei from Hero Course Class A.
"Hey, Uraraka?"
"Takeyama-san..."
The two girls bumped into each other at the Support Course entrance and were stunned. Why was the other here at the Support Course?
"Huh!?"
At that moment, the Support Course door opened, and Midoriya Izuku, who was about to go home, was also stunned! Why were Uraraka and Takeyama at the door?
"Ah! Midoriya, do you have time this weekend...?"
Uraraka Ochako nervously asked, while the stunned Midoriya Izuku and Takeyama Urei stood there. The other girl quickly reacted and asked:
"That's right, Midoriya, do you have time this weekend?"
"......"
Midoriya Izuku was silent, cold sweat running down his face. The atmosphere between Uraraka and Takeyama was getting tense, and it felt heavy!
"What's going on? What should I do? Can someone help me?!"
Midoriya felt he was in some kind of terrible crisis. This shouldn't be happening! They were good friends just yesterday, so why did it feel so heavy today?!
"Midoriya-chan~~" At this moment, a pair of hands rested on his shoulders. It was Hatsume Mei, who hadn't left the Support Course yet. She curiously looked at the two girls facing off and suddenly said:
"Midoriya-chan~ have you thought of a name for my baby?!"
In an instant, a terrifying aura filled the air. Midoriya Izuku felt the faces of the two girls turn dark, and their eyes glowed red. Scary! Scary! Scary!!
"I'm not! I didn't! Let me explain!!"
...
...
"Seriously, Hatsume Mei, you should explain things clearly~"
"Yeah, yeah! You scared us so much!"
The murderous aura turned into two obedient girls, Uraraka and Takeyama, while Midoriya Izuku, who had finally explained everything, clutched his chest... so tired!
"Hahaha, but Midoriya-chan's reaction was so funny!"
Hatsume Mei, who showed no remorse, was happily looking at the photos she took with her phone. The picture of Midoriya being scared by Takeyama and Uraraka was just too funny!
"Midoriya, this weekend!"
Although the misunderstanding was cleared up, the two girls' attention returned to Midoriya Izuku, both staring at him!
"Midoriya-chan~~" Hatsume Mei suddenly snuggled up to Midoriya, holding his arm and speaking in a very suggestive tone:
"This weekend~~ come with me to buy some equipment parts~~!"
The tense atmosphere returned, and both girls now focused on Hatsume Mei, realizing she was a big threat!
"Midoriya, let's go shopping this weekend~!"
"Midoriya, let's go see a movie this weekend!!"
"Midoriya-chan~ come with me to buy parts~~"
Three girls, three different plans, and Midoriya Izuku was sweating... He realized he was in a situation called a "love triangle," where any choice could lead to trouble!
"What should I do... Can someone save me!!"
In this desperate situation, Midoriya could only hope for a miracle. Maybe the heavens heard his prayers and answered his wish.
"Midoriya, do you want to go to the Bajiquan Dojo this weekend?"
Shinso Hitoshi, who happened to pass by, asked. He had been going to the dojo to learn Bajiquan on weekends, and Midoriya usually went there too.
"Shinso, you're a lifesaver!!"
Overjoyed, Midoriya Izuku was about to accept Shinso's invitation to go to the dojo this weekend when...
Three murderous glares were directed at Shinso. No surprise! It was Uraraka Ochako, Takeyama Urei, and Hatsume Mei!
Feeling the almost suffocating hostility, Shinso looked at the three girls around Midoriya and understood everything!
"I'll go alone this weekend. Midoriya, have a nice weekend!"
Then Shinso ran away as if for his life, leaving a desperate Midoriya Izuku behind!
