Off to Work Studies / This Was an Accident

"Su Lin-chan, is something wrong?" Izuku Midoriya turned around curiously.

"Treat me to a meal."

Perfect. After eating, she could make things clear to Midoriya and make him give up on her completely.

"Huh? A meal... All right."

Izuku Midoriya did not hesitate for long before immediately nodding. He even seemed rather happy about it.

"As expected..." Yukino had more or less confirmed it in her heart.

Blushing, shifty eyes, an excited tone... There was clearly something wrong with that strange attitude. Combined with how many of his actions subconsciously imitated hers, Yukino became even more determined to reject him.

Ochaco Uraraka, beside them, glanced worriedly at the two of them and remained silent the entire time.

Everyone quickly got their food and sat together, with Yukino directly across from Midoriya.

"Come with me alone later. I have something to say to you." After silently taking a sip of her drink, Yukino spoke to Midoriya.

The others all wore strange expressions. Why did the class rep specifically want to speak with Midoriya alone?

"Um... Su Lin-chan, do you spend much more time using your avatars than your main body?" Tsuyu Asui turned her head, her eyes blinking repeatedly.

"Yeah. My Quirk can grow through prolonged use. Is there a problem?"

"No." Tsuyu-chan shook her head again and again.

"Actually, it's still the same question," Torhu Hagakure cut in. "I still hope Su Lin-chan can be a girl in the future. That's not such a hard decision to make, right?"

"Get lost." Yukino could not be bothered with her.

"I don't think that's a good idea. It'd be too much of a bargain for certain boys." Kyoka Jiro rejected the suggestion.

"No, no, with so many avatars, any guy who gets her would be incredibly lucky." Ochaco Uraraka suddenly became excited.

"I think she could find lots of men."

"Get lost!" They were getting more and more outrageous, so Yukino spat out the bone in her mouth and snapped viciously, "Say another word and I'll let the monkey bite you!"

The entire table fell silent at once.

"Huh?" Several meters away, Bakugo, who was eating, noticed Yukino pointing at him. His expression instantly exploded. "Who are you calling a monkey?"

The meal ended quickly. Izuku Midoriya, nervously swallowing over and over, was brought to the top of the school building. There, he saw Sister Doma sitting silently atop the wall, swinging her legs in the breeze.

"Su Lin-chan, you..."

"This has nothing to do with you!" Yukino felt uncomfortable the moment she saw Midoriya's expression. She truly could not stand being looked at like that by a boy.

Walking to the wall, she stared at Midoriya coldly and asked seriously, "Do you like me?"

"Huh?" The instant those words came out, Midoriya's face turned bright red, and his eyes darted away desperately. "N-No, it's not like that."

"You're lying to me." Yukino felt a little creeped out. "I've always treated you like a brother. You haven't really developed those kinds of feelings for me, have you?"

"No, no, you misunderstood. I just... just admire you." Izuku Midoriya's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

"Admire me?" Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath. "Let me tell you directly. I only like girls. I have absolutely no interest in boys like you... And you don't genuinely like me at all. You're only under that illusion because I'm pretty. Do you understand?"

"I..."

"What do you mean, 'I'? Is it really that hard to admit? Don't think I don't know. You just think I'm good-looking and want to fuck me, right?"

After angrily saying that, Yukino could not even be bothered to hear him out. She turned around immediately, leaving Izuku Midoriya standing there blankly.

Not far away, Sister Doma continued swinging her legs in the breeze without saying a word, not even sparing him a glance.

"What a relief. Perfect rejection."

After leaving the scene, Yukino felt much better.

When rejecting someone, you had to be ruthless and say harsh things. Sometimes, giving the other person hope was the most ridiculous thing of all. She believed that after this, Izuku Midoriya would truly understand that the two of them were impossible. Whether he would continue liking her was another matter, but Yukino had made her attitude extremely clear.

When she returned to the classroom, she discovered that quite a few people were looking at her strangely.

"You just now, with Izuku..."

Kyoka Jiro stood by the door, her tone slightly hesitant.

"I just mentioned Quirk training to him." Yukino acted as though she did not care and returned to her seat, where she lay facedown.

"Um... Su Lin-chan, if anyone wrongs you, you have to tell me, okay? Don't keep it bottled up."

"Huh?" Hearing Torhu Hagakure whisper in his ear, Su Lin raised his head in confusion. "Which eye of yours saw me being wronged?"

"I secretly went over to listen. Midoriya... wants to fuck you, right? I never thought he was that kind of scumbag." Hagakure spoke sadly into his ear, quietly enough that only the two of them could hear. "Don't worry. I'll protect you, and I'll beat him up for you too."

"..."

Heading to the Work-Study Program

It was over. He felt like he would never be able to explain this for the rest of his life.

Yukino stared blankly at her for a long while before finally asking in disbelief, "I can't believe you eavesdropped on me."

Damn transparent Quirk.

She did not know how to explain it, so she lay back down on the desk and gloomily considered how she should explain herself, only to fall asleep directly.

Torhu Hagakure reached out and patted her head, looking as though she were comforting her.

That evening, Su Lin returned to his main body, carried his bag, and walked home alone.

"Yeah, I keep feeling like someone's watching me."

When he looked back, there was actually nothing there.

He kicked a pebble by the roadside away, then suddenly had an idea. He ran to a nearby shop and bought a cheap soccer ball before heading to a grassy field in a nearby park to kick it around with Yukino and Sister Doma's avatars.

After playing for a while, he watched the ball fly through the air and suddenly slapped his forehead. "I wasted money again."

He was spending too quickly. Buying things here and there, no amount of money would ever be enough.

Still, it was not bad. At least his home now had a small refrigerator, a washing machine, and some other items. It was no longer completely bare.

As for himself, he also had a cheap phone now.

"Now I'm too embarrassed to mooch meals off Midoriya... I need to find someone else."

Torhu Hagakure was a girl, after all, and he did not have the favor of having guided her training. He would feel too embarrassed mooching food off her. As for Bakugo... It would be more like Bakugo was guiding him.

"Do I really have to figure something out myself?"

"Ah!" As he thought that, Sister Doma failed to catch the incoming ball, lost her balance, and fell flat on the ground.

An elderly woman who saw this from a distance immediately ran over angrily. "What are you doing? You're playing ball with girls and kicking it that hard? She fell down, and you're still standing there watching! Don't you know to go help her up?"

With an angry look on her face, the elderly woman walked over and kindly helped Sister Doma up. Seeing her smooth skin and delicate little face, she immediately exclaimed, "Oh my, she's far too pretty! Why do boys nowadays have no idea how to cherish girls? How could you let such a wonderful girl get hurt? Poor thing, don't feel wronged, okay?"

As she spoke, she kindly stroked her head.

"???"

How the fuck was I being wronged?

Still, from an onlooker's perspective, he really did look like a boy who did not know how to take care of girls. Especially since he was playing soccer with two girls.

Sister Doma smiled helplessly. "It's fine. We were just playing ball. I'm very happy."

"Sigh, what a kind child."

When they returned home, the books he had ordered online had just arrived. Yukino, whose brain had the greatest learning ability, voluntarily hugged the books and entered study mode. Meanwhile, Su Lin, who was not particularly useful in his main body, began preparing dinner as usual.

Sister Doma was responsible for tidying up. Though her body was weak, simple housework was still easy for her.

It was a warm home where no one spoke.

The individuals did not even need to exchange glances to cooperate flawlessly.

"From a certain perspective, I'm a winner in life too."

He had a system when he wanted a system, strength when he wanted strength, and girls when he wanted girls, though those girls were also himself.

Even with only one consciousness, occupying different bodies allowed him to actively play different roles.

After dinner, Yukino, as she had for the past several days, left the house with Takanashi Rikka to train.

Although he felt that those books he had bought were somewhat of a scam, practicing seriously did produce some results.

This could only mean that Rikka's Chuunibyou abilities were too useful. A bug-like method such as automatic attacks freed up both his hands and his brain, greatly improving his efficiency.

However, without activating the Evil Eye, her attacks were only ten times her own strength.

In other words, when using a single automatic weapon, its maximum damage could equal Rikka's full-strength attack with ten times her strength.

When controlling two weapons at once, each weapon's maximum damage should be five times her strength.

Since material energy and mystical energy could be converted into one another while remaining absolutely conserved, if Rikka made a sword produce magical flames, its pure physical attack would inevitably weaken.

She trained as usual for half an hour, after which Rikka's avatar disappeared. Yukino released the weapon she had been tightly gripping and lay atop the refrigerator, admiring the vast starry sky overhead.

"Is this world a universe too?"

She wondered how large it was, and whether the distant stars were merely a fake backdrop.

After lying there for a while with those thoughts, Yukino here also automatically disappeared after reaching her eight-hour limit for the day.

At home, Su Lin had already lain down on the bed to rest. He glanced at Sister Doma sitting before him, hesitated for a moment, then still used her as a body pillow.

Of course, he only hugged her lower leg or arm.

He was afraid that if he got too close, he might get carried away in the middle of the night and pull some I'm fucking myself stunt, only to end up pregnant and cough up blood from sheer disbelief.

Sister Doma's allure was simply too strong. Her unique charm kept Su Lin tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

After thinking about it, he simply tried what was called partial sleep.

That was, letting an avatar sleep while the main body remained awake, or letting the main body sleep while an avatar stayed awake.

Of course, he ultimately failed, mainly because his mind was too excited. Something he had never tried before was nearly impossible to accomplish.

"Hmm, come to think of it, even this close, there isn't even the slightest smell of feet. She even has a special body fragrance. Did the system modify that too?"

Su Lin hugged Sister Doma's white-stockinged calf, the fantasies in his mind like wild horses that had broken free of their reins, completely beyond control.

He did not know how much time passed. Only when Sister Doma's body disappeared did he gradually fall asleep.

Several days later, at the station.

"You all brought your hero costumes, right? You normally aren't allowed to wear them in public, so keep them safe. Understood?"

At Shota Aizawa's question, everyone answered in unison, "Yes!"

"Then head out separately. Remember to show respect to the heroes at your Work-Study Program locations."

After everyone dispersed, Tenya Iida glanced back at Su Lin before walking in his own direction.

Su Lin slowly followed behind him, only for Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka to catch up.

"Um... Iida, if there's any trouble you can't handle, make sure to tell us."

"Yeah!" Iida turned around and nodded heavily.

"Su Lin too," Ochaco Uraraka said to Su Lin.

"Don't worry. If Iida has any trouble, I'll take care of it."

He glanced at Midoriya, only to find his gaze hurriedly shifting away.

"Then we're off."

"Bye-bye!"
