While Astra wandered through the bustling streets, her mind buzzed with ideas and strategies. She quickly scanned the area for opportunities, noting the weaknesses of the villain from the original story.
Then, she reflected on her own abilities, analyzing how she could use them effectively.
What she was about to do was extremely risky. Not only would she be facing a villain who was many women's worst nightmare, but she had also never used her sub-quirk before.
To top it off, she was about to intervene at a crucial point in the plot. Depending on how events unfolded, the fate of the entire world could change.
Astra knew this. She was aware that by acting, she could lose the advantages she had by knowing the story's canon, or even unleash chaos in the world in an unprecedented way.
But she decided not to dwell on it. The future didn't matter. The future was uncertain. The only thing she had was the present, and now she stood before a decisive choice.
She held a blue pill, symbolizing the drastic change it could bring to her life. She could ignore the red one, the option to leave everything as it was.
The villain she was about to face, though dangerous, was essential to her plans. If she could manipulate the situation in her favor, she could get closer to Majin Buu's original form.
Astra knew that the villain's power was key to improving her quirk, allowing her to transform from the very foundation of her abilities.
Since the Writer had sent her on the exact same day the first chapter began, she knew because she remembered the villain that appeared on her phone. That's why there was no time to think about the consequences in more detail; all she could do was jump into the fight and figure it out afterward.
Suddenly, a dangerous but feasible idea formed in her mind.
"It's risky, but possible. If my quirk works as the Writer explained, I can use this ability earlier than I thought. Even if it's the first time and dangerous... I have no choice."
Astra tugged at her own skin, seeing how it stretched like rubber, and that small confirmation gave her renewed confidence. She felt more secure about what she was about to do.
"I just have to make the slime want to possess my body..." she murmured. Realizing what she had just said, a chill ran down her spine. "That sounded weird... Like I enjoy being grabbed by slimes," she thought, advancing with a nervous smile.
If everything went well, she would gain a crucial advantage. She knew this villain was fundamental in the original story, the trigger that set Deku on his path to becoming a hero.
"It all started with this copy of Hentai Slime," she reflected. "If it hadn't tried to possess Bakugo's body, Deku would never have caught All Might's attention, and without that encounter, his fate would have been entirely different."
She mentally reviewed the key events. The slime appeared three important times:
First, stealing a wallet and causing destruction, at which point it's shown in a manga panel in its muscular form, and then nothing.
The second is when it emerges from the sewers, where it grabs Deku and tries to enter his body, but All Might comes out of the same sewer and, with a casual punch, defeats the villain. At that moment, he captures it, but it escapes when Deku clings to him or when he turns into a skeleton.
Finally, the third time it appears is in front of Bakugo, who was with his schoolmates. It grabs his body and, after some time, travels to an area where it causes destruction until Deku appears, and his courage summons All Might, who then trains him to be his successor.
Stroking her chin with her tail, Astra continued walking, thinking and recalling information she would surely forget if it weren't for N21's genius mind.
"These could be considered three absolute points in the plot, and given the context, there's only one moment where I can grab him. Originally, I wanted to grab him in the sewers, but if All Might follows him into the sewer..."
Feeling a shiver down her spine, Astra kept walking.
"...and finds me trying to consume someone, even if it's a slime and a villain, I'm sure he'd send me to reform school, Tartarus, or with one punch, send me flying to the sun. It'd be something like fat Majin Buu receiving Vegeta's sacrifice head-on."
Astra already knew. The key moment was when the slime took Bakugo's body or when it tried to.
With a clear plan in mind, Astra paused to recall the name of Bakugo and Deku's middle school.
"I remember now. It was a public school, and the only one nearby is Orudera Middle School. So, if I want to intercept Bakugo, I need to go there."
With renewed determination, she started walking toward Orudera Middle School. Halfway there, before reaching the school, she spotted Bakugo along with two companions.
One had unusually long fingers, and the other had a cigarette in his mouth. The three walked with an arrogant attitude, trying to appear tougher than they really were.
"I could follow them from behind, but the plan is for the slime to catch me, not Bakugo," Astra reflected. Suddenly, an idea crossed her mind, and a mischievous smile spread across her face. "Let's do it."
----------
Bakugo's POV
"That damn useless nerd. He doesn't know his place. Without a quirk, he can't be a hero," Bakugo spat with contempt as he walked, aware that his two companions were loyally following him.
"Yeah, someone without a quirk is completely worthless," the long-fingered one agreed.
"Shut up! All you can do with your quirk is stretch your fingers. What's the use in that?" Bakugo snapped, finishing off the can of soda.
"Oh, Bakugo," the scissor-handed guy replied with a lewd grin, "the real question is, what can't I do with them?" His suggestive tone made the atmosphere awkward.
The friend smoking looked ahead, noticing a female figure with pink skin, silver-pink hair, and athletic wear. The girl seemed nervous, casting quick glances over her shoulder. When their eyes met, she quickly looked away.
"Great. If she calls the heroes, we might get into trouble," the smoking guy commented, exhaling a puff of smoke.
Bakugo glanced up, irritated, and saw the clearly frightened woman. It looked like she was about to make a call on her phone.
"Tsk! Damn scared extras," Bakugo growled. Annoyed, he exploded the soda can in his hand, causing the girl to jump slightly. She hurried her steps, grabbing what looked like a bottle with her tail before turning the corner.
"HAHAHA! What a scaredy-cat! Hey, Bakugo, if you scare off girls like that, you're going to die alone," the long-fingered guy joked.
Irritated, Bakugo grabbed a piece of the can and tossed it at his friend's forehead.
"HAHA! We know your personality, Bakugo, you deserve that," the other one said, his cigarette nearly falling from his lips. However, his tone shifted to a more serious one. "Hey, Bakugo, you went too hard on Deku today. You could get yourself into trouble and even get expelled."
"You've gone too far," added the long-fingered guy with a hint of concern.
With anger building, Bakugo kicked at the air in frustration, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"It's his fault for getting in my way... Ever since we were kids, he's had that stupid dream of being a hero..."
Even more irritated, Bakugo quickened his pace. He couldn't stand the thought of his ambition being held back by the weak. His only concern now was making sure that old Witch checked his grades to secure his entry into U.A.

Astra's POV
[The following is grotesque; read with discretion.]
"Everything went according to plan."
Astra's plan had been simple yet effective: get ahead of Bakugo and his group, pretend to be scared, and then pick up the bottle without raising suspicion.
But the real plan was for the slime to grab her instead of Bakugo so that she could consume it in his place. The issue was that Bakugo's group would likely be watching, and for that, she honestly had no plan. But it didn't matter; fortunately, the slime was in a bottle.
Astra quickly made her way to a nearby manhole. While an alley would have been more accessible, surveillance cameras could have caught the moment. It wasn't complicated; she had seen a manhole when passing through a tunnel. The manhole had no cover—she didn't know why, but it wasn't her problem.
Feeling a strange vibration in the bottle, Astra knew the slime was alive and eager to be freed. As she observed the small green bubbles surfacing from the edge, her suspicions were confirmed.
"So here you are..." she thought, smiling to herself. If she hadn't intercepted the can, Bakugo would have run into the villain, and the entire original story would have followed its course.
Now, with the villain under her control, the course of the story had already changed. There was just one last step left.
"This is the moment," Astra thought as she felt the slime trying to break free. If she played her cards right, she could absorb this villain's abilities. But she had to be careful; even though she had her plan well thought out, she had never used her sub-quirk at this level before.
"Perfect, you'll serve me better than that poor kid," she murmured to herself as she tightened her grip on the can with her tail, making sure the slime wouldn't escape just yet. "I just need to make sure you enter me before you cause any trouble."
"If I can absorb its abilities and control it before it unleashes chaos, I'll gain a crucial power," Astra thought as she walked deeper into the manhole. There, the dampness and shadows offered the perfect environment for what was about to happen.
Finally, when she was sure no one was following her, she slowly opened the bottle, allowing the green slime to start overflowing from the edges. It was grotesque—a viscous mass bubbling with malicious energy—but Astra felt no fear. In fact, she had been waiting for this moment.
"Come here," she whispered as she brought the can closer to her face. The slime reacted immediately, moving toward her rapidly, trying to envelop her.
"You foolish girl, don't pick up things from the street; now I'll have fun with your body." Without wasting any time, the slime attempted to force itself into Astra's mouth.
"MMGH... MMGH!" Astra felt a sharp pain as the slime tried to force its way inside her body, but she endured it. Her throat stretched, adapting thanks to her quirk, while she stared into the multiple eyes of the slime looking down at her.
"Your body will be mine," the villain declared with a grotesque smile forming between two of its eyes.
As it looked at Astra attempting to grab its body, the slime laughed while speaking.
"HAHAHAH, keep dreaming if you think you can grab me in my liquid state." As it laughed, the villain suddenly felt danger; one of its eyes turned around to look behind it.
There it was—a thick rope approaching, which was actually just Astra's stretched-out finger, pointing at it.
"What an interesting quirk, girl... you and I are very compatible," the villain commented, unaware of what was about to happen. In that instant, it felt a powerful suction.
"Wait!" the slime shouted, sensing the danger, but it was already too late. A pink-purple beam shot out from Astra's finger, wrapping around the slime.
Poof!
In an instant, the villain's body turned into a sort of sweet liquid, similar to dulce de leche, floating around the beam in a perfect sphere.
The dulce de leche floated around a circle at the tip of the pink beam.
Crack!
"Ha ha!" Astra fell to the ground, exhausted but euphoric. She breathed heavily, regaining her breath after the effort of containing it.
"HAHAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHAHA, I DID IT! I DID IT!"
A huge laugh erupted from her chest, relieved and triumphant. It had been tense seconds, but every one of them counted.
As she caught her breath, a familiar taste passed through her throat. The sweetness she felt in her mouth reminded her of one of her favorites from her past life.
Unable to contain her insatiable hunger, Astra gazed at the floating sphere of dulce de leche with a gleam in her eyes.
With a mischievous smile, she brought the sphere to her hand and then to her mouth. In one swift motion, she gulped down all the liquid, similar to Kanna consuming the world, but this time it was an irresistible treat.
"Delicious!"
She exclaimed, not caring that she had just consumed the slime villain. With a satisfied air, Astra licked her fingers, enjoying every moment of triumph as the slime's power integrated with her own.
.....
Unbeknownst to her, within what appeared to be her body, or her consciousness, a sort of cocoon appeared, inside which a sleeping slime was completely wrapped.

I think many who watched Dragon ball the buu saga and MHA, the final arcs, will understand that this is the last dialogue, although most don't know how this will work.
