Eraser Head, while patrolling his territory, received a report that someone had broken into the amusement park and started destroying everything. This news immediately caught his attention due to the similarity to previous incidents, in which Tokima and Tsukima were often involved — two individuals he relentlessly sought to capture. What intrigued him even more was that, according to a witness, only two people had been involved in the event. This was clear confirmation for him: it was definitely them.
He immediately set off to the scene, hoping to arrive before they vanished.
Upon arrival, he saw only broken rides that almost looked like a pile of metal and their usual signature, which they often left behind. However, this time, in addition to the signature, there was also a message. In it, they apologized for having to destroy a place they had liked, but noted that a mission was a mission.
Without wasting a single second, Eraser Head began sweeping the area near the park and, with the help of Nezu, connected with the heroes patrolling nearby.
Soon, he was incredibly lucky when he spotted two girls who looked like the ones he had been searching for. At first, he thought they might just be fanatical criminals, a common phenomenon due to Tokima and Tsukima's reputation.
They were elusive and had become role models for others who aspired to match their level. This only fueled his desire to capture them. As he began following the girls, Eraser Head saw them being led into an alley by five other fanatics who appeared to be aggressively disposed.
Despite the fact that these two could be criminals, he couldn't allow anything to happen to them. Running across rooftops, he got closer and stopped on a building roof, where he had a good view of the entire alley.
But as he got closer, he recognized that these two were the real deal. Tokima had already dealt with four of the criminals, while Tsukima was merely observing, which was unusual behavior for both of them, as he knew it was always the other way around: Tokima in the back, and Tsukima in the front.
Eraser Head planned to catch them right after they finished with the last one, as by then at least one of them would be somewhat exhausted, which would make his job easier.
Moreover, he wanted to see if the girl had developed any new techniques, and most importantly, how far she had come in her growth. He remembered his previous mistake, when he lost to them because of this. However, they didn't even know he was watching, which would give him an advantage.
With that thought, he pulled out his phone and began recording the entire process. This wasn't his own idea, but Nezu's, who wanted to see the two girls in action. While he could observe them through cameras, mostly all he saw was how quickly they neutralized the guards, without any actual fights.
Although he expected the fight to end very quickly, as by the time he began observing, Tokima had already dealt with four of the criminals, to his surprise, the last criminal took several doses of trigger and began to enhance incredibly.
Although with that much Trigger, he should have died much faster than even slightly strengthening, Eraser Head suspected that it was likely due to his endurance, luck, or the new generation of Trigger with less negative effects for the user.
A true battle broke out between him and Tokima. Even from a distance, he could see the determination and fire in her eyes. He noticed that Tokima's fighting style had significantly improved since their last encounter — this was no longer the girl who hid behind her partner's back.
And while usually Tokima played a supporting role to Tsukima, applying acceleration or deceleration effects on enemies, now she was taking the role of an active attacker, while Tsukima simply observed.
He could clearly see that her punches barely caused any damage. However, she was using all her strength to avoid the strikes of her opponent, who attacked like a beast, actively counterattacking. He felt a certain pride for her as he watched her relentlessly grow, and he increasingly wished to see her and Tsukima as his students.
She didn't give up even in this situation, continuing to attack, exhausting her stamina, and showcasing all her abilities. However, at some point, he noticed that her strikes, which had previously had at least some impact on the opponent, no longer had any effect. She was still attacking, but it seemed like she was merely bringing her fist close to the opponent's body and pulling it back without making contact at all.
He even began to think she was just playing with her opponent, though he couldn't understand the purpose of this charade. He knew that she wouldn't be able to defeat this opponent, even if she attacked with full force, as she had been doing so far, with no effect.
If he himself were in such a situation with an opponent protected by a similar quirk, and knowing that there were no civilians nearby, he would likely try to signal his partners or avoid attacking, waiting for the opponent to exhaust themselves. Especially considering that the opponent attacked like a beast, with completely predictable movements, and understanding that the Trigger was probably slowly destroying his body, meaning he was about to collapse from exhaustion.
This went on for several minutes, until, to his surprise, Tokima finally stepped back from the opponent. With a smile on her face and sparks in her eyes—visible even from his position—she snapped her fingers.
In that moment, it was as if All Might himself had struck the opponent, though not with full force. A shockwave appeared behind him, cracking the ground beneath him. The criminal was sent flying several meters, and at the spots where Tokima had previously struck, massive craters had formed, completely shattering his defense.
He witnessed an entirely new technique from Tokima. Fully convinced that, after her ability to see the future, she would hardly surprise him with anything new, this move managed to completely obliterate her opponent's defense.
This sight filled him with genuine fear — this girl was growing at an incredible rate. If even one of his students possessed such talent and potential, which only grew stronger with each encounter, he would have no hesitation in giving everything he had for their development. And Nezu would support him in this, offering all the resources and strength available.
For a moment, he even thought that with proper training, she could become one of the top 10 heroes. Her quirk, her potential, her determination, and constant growth — these would effortlessly allow her to reach that level. Perhaps, with the right training, she could even become the number one hero.
He began to wonder what would happen if they failed to capture Tokima. If she continued to develop at this pace, in the future, even professional heroes might not stand a chance against her.
Perhaps, one day, even All Might would face difficulties in a battle with her. However, he was glad that he had recorded the entire fight — this would allow him to analyze her techniques and prepare for a possible encounter.
He also realized that he couldn't miss this chance to capture both of them, especially now that Tokima was exhausted. Though Tsukima hadn't participated in the fight, he knew that if he initiated a confrontation with them, this time he would have every chance of victory, since he wasn't weakened like he had been the last time.
However, he wasn't going to repeat the mistakes of the past by underestimating them and understood that this could end in Tokima's growth once again. Therefore, he decided to continue monitoring them, hoping to discover the whereabouts of at least one of them, so that he could capture her when she was alone and force her partner to come to her aid.
Although he could call in his partners to increase the chances of their capture and simply catch them, rather than searching for their place of residence, he didn't want to give them any opportunity to escape. After all, who knew if either of them had a hidden trump card up their sleeve.
Kimika and Toga, leaving their ominous signature that revealed their dissatisfaction with the fanatics, quickly left the scene. They knew very well that the noise from their fight could attract unnecessary attention, so they didn't want to linger.
As they continued patrolling the streets, searching for other fanatics similar to the ones they had recently encountered, both of them felt a strange sensation. Long before the fight began, they had been plagued by the feeling of being watched, but now it had become so obvious that it could no longer be ignored.
They realized that it wasn't just paranoia. Someone was indeed following them, and this person was clearly not ordinary. No simple person could remain unnoticed for so long, leaving only faint traces of their presence. It was likely either a hero or one of their fanatics.
Although their pursuer hadn't revealed themselves yet, even during the encounters with other fanatics they had faced, who were frequent but not as powerful as the first ones, Kimika and Toga understood that this person didn't intend to attack immediately.
It was likely that the pursuer was trying to find the perfect moment to strike or scout out their place of residence. They couldn't simply rush at him, as they didn't know his exact location. At the same time, they couldn't return home or split up, as that would risk revealing their hideouts, putting them in a dangerous situation.
So, they came up with a plan. They decided to use a trick and give their watcher what he wanted: a trace to Toga's home. There, they could gather all the necessary things and quickly leave the area.
Toga was always prepared for such a scenario, as she frequently changed her places of residence. Her choice often fell on old houses with basements that had access to the sewers.
They entered the old apartment building and went to Toga's apartment. After turning on the light and closing the curtains, they made it clear to their pursuer which apartment they were in.
Quickly gathering all the important items — money, trigger that Toga still kept with her, a few sets of clothes, and other things essential to Toga — they left a note in a visible spot. It mockingly told the pursuer that he had missed the moment when they were vulnerable, and it was accompanied by two smiling faces. After that, the girls headed to the basement.
In the basement, they opened an old passage that led to the sewer. The unpleasant smell soaked into their clothes and made them feel nauseous, but it couldn't stop them; it was better than getting caught by some hero who had been spying on them. After passing through several blocks underground, they emerged on the surface through another building with a similar underground passage.
Since it was already the middle of the night and Toga wouldn't be able to find a new place to stay unnoticed, they headed to Kimika's house. Her mother was already well aware of her daughter's late-night outings with her friend.
Although they didn't share all the details of their activities, they assured her that they weren't involved in anything like drinking alcohol or using drugs. They were simply walking around the city, which, in a sense, was true, so her mother didn't notice they were lying.
Her mother didn't object to their walks, seeing it as an opportunity for her daughter not to dwell on what was happening in their family. However, she did ask them to be careful because of the rising crime in the city and told them that if anything happened, they should not hesitate to ask her for help.
When they got home, Toga was eager to take a shower again with her friend, but Kimika, still with some energy left, was ready to fend off her advances. With incredible speed, she rushed into the bathroom and, closing the door behind her, managed to break free from Toga's embrace.
Although Toga was incredibly frustrated by this turn of events, she didn't want to make a bad impression on her friend's mother. So, she simply saw it as a challenge: she needed to find a way to make Kimika get used to showering together and make her ask for it herself.
However, for the time being, her plans remained just a dream, and Toga had to settle for taking the shower alone.
Though she did manage to sleep next to her friend, since Kimika had no other free space for sleeping that she could send her to or that she would sleep in, at first, Kimika tried to distance herself to the edge of the bed.
She didn't want to sleep next to Toga because she felt a certain shame, still upset with her friend for not helping in the battle against the criminal with the trigger. These feelings of disappointment made it difficult for her to relax, and she couldn't fall asleep next to Toga, even though the situation required their closeness.
Toga, shocked by such words, was incredibly displeased, her facial expression conveying that she was ready to tear Kimika apart for it.
However, despite all her efforts, Kimika managed to fall asleep at the edge of the bed, trying to stay as far away from Toga as possible. Toga, on her part, lay on the other end of the bed, incredibly outraged and aggressive.
She was wondering why Kimika was acting this way toward her—why she was distancing herself, when in their rare moments of sleeping together, Kimika had always fallen asleep in her arms or next to her.
Toga felt rejected, and that only added to her anger and confusion. She couldn't understand what had happened and why her friend was behaving this way.
However, when Toga saw Kimika's innocent face as she slept, looking like a little child, so incredibly cute, her anger instantly disappeared. The girl looked so defenseless that it was impossible not to smile.
Suddenly, Kimika began to stir slowly but surely in her sleep, as if searching for warmth, and before long, she found herself beside Toga. Lying pressed against her, Kimika looked like a little kitten that had found the perfect place to sleep, blissfully nudging her nose into Toga as if she were a source of warmth.
Toga couldn't help but smile at the cute sight, but then Kimika started becoming bolder, trying to settle more comfortably.
Eventually, Kimika hugged Toga like a dakimakura pillow, wrapping her arm and leg around her, with the same innocent expression on her face. Not knowing how to react to such cuteness, Toga simply responded in kind, hugging Kimika back.
A thought began to form in Toga's mind: it seemed that, subconsciously, Kimika had developed a habit of falling asleep next to her. All Toga had to do was reinforce this habit until Kimika couldn't sleep without that warmth and closeness.
And so, they fell asleep, gazing at each other, sharing all their warmth like two little kittens who had found a safe haven. The silence in the room was filled with peace, and only the quiet breaths of both girls disturbed the stillness of the night.
At the same time, Eraser Head, after seeing where exactly Tokima and Tsukima were living, noticed that the light in a certain apartment turned on shortly after they entered the building.
He began to carefully watch them, but after not seeing any of the girls leave the house, he decided to call for backup, including several heroes and police officers.
When they broke into the apartment, they found only an empty room and a message left by the girls. Of course, Eraser Head's usually calm expression burned with anger, while his colleagues couldn't contain their laughter at the situation. He swore to himself that the next time he saw the two of them, he wouldn't hesitate to catch them immediately and wouldn't waste time wondering about Tokima's height.
After that, he passed the recording to Nezu, who agreed with him: the girls were growing incredibly fast, and they needed to be apprehended as quickly as possible. Eraser Head felt that Tokima might have enjoyed the thrill of battle, and those who could provide her with that feeling were either criminals who would soon get boring, and she might switch her attention to heroes.
At the end of their conversation, Nezu couldn't resist teasing Aizawa, remarking on how easily he had been deceived.

Do you like the vibe between Kimika and Toga? It seems like Kimika can't pull herself away from Toga, even doing it in her sleep.
I could probably start a fight between them in this chapter, but for some reason, it felt like it could be avoided. What do you think of this decision?
