A Pleasant Place

Toga Himiko felt a little unhappy when she saw the two women. Someone as cute as her had originally held an untouchable status here, but now two more girls had appeared whose looks were no worse than hers. No matter how she looked at it, she felt displeased.

Yang Xiao was truly dumbfounded now. He could be certain that this world was one of My Hero Academia's parallel worlds. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? The members of the Yorozuya had appeared in this world as members of the Problem Solver. It was too marvelous.

"Good thing you two joined us. Otherwise, it might have..." The little girl in the red cheongsam spread her hands, her tone extremely relaxed.

"What? What might have happened?" Toga Himiko took a step forward, glaring at the little girl in the red cheongsam with an unfriendly tone.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We're all on the same side now, so what's there to fight about?" Wu Shiyin smiled, then pointed at the girl in the red cheongsam. "Let me introduce the members of the Problem Solver. This is Kagura, one of the Problem Solver's core members."

Wu Shiyin continued, "This is Shinpachi Shimura, and that beautiful lady is Tae Shimura. The two are siblings and also core members of the Problem Solver."

Wu Shiyin then introduced Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko. Everyone was acquainted now.

Yang Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry. Whether it was Kagura, Shinpachi Shimura, or Tae Shimura, their names differed slightly, but they were undoubtedly based on those same character settings. They were simply too similar.

"Alright, back to business. Now I'll tell you two what the Problem Solver's true core business is." Wu Shiyin's playful expression vanished instantly, replaced by a serious look.

Yang Xiao became curious. Since the Problem Solver made things so mysterious, it was surely some kind of shady business. But that did not necessarily mean it was bad. If the Problem Solver was involved with the underworld, Yang Xiao would still leave.

"Sit down, everyone..." Wu Shiyin waited until everyone had taken a seat before he began speaking, mainly for Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko's benefit.

"The Problem Solver was founded twenty years ago. For the first twelve years, this place was controlled by another senior. He died because of a failed mission. At that time, I was only one of the Problem Solver's members. After that incident, the other members gradually scattered, so I alone took charge of the Problem Solver as it is today."

Wu Shiyin continued, "The Problem Solver exists mainly to serve those in need. Of course, the core Problem Solver is different from what you two experienced before. Here, once we accept a job, we kill people!"

Yang Xiao's gaze shifted. Just as he thought, the Problem Solver was like an assassin organization. Someone placed an order, the Problem Solver acted, and after resolving the matter, they received payment.

"Of course, the Problem Solver never does evil. The people we kill are all criminals with records, either offenders or utterly wicked people. In short, not a single one of them is a good person."

Only then did Yang Xiao relax. Since it was an organization that punished evildoers, that was more acceptable.

Afterward, Wu Shiyin explained the Problem Solver's rules and matters requiring attention. He covered everything thoroughly, allowing Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko to understand it well.

"You two don't have much strength, so after becoming core members, stay here and handle orders and organize case files. The other things will be handled by the three of them." Wu Shiyin patted Yang Xiao on the shoulder.

Yang Xiao had actually expected this outcome. Wu Shiyin had no way of knowing his strength. To Wu Shiyin, he was merely a high school student about to enter high school. What strength could a high school student have? What kind of heaven-defying Quirk could he possess?

So Wu Shiyin's decision was perfectly normal. Even if Wu Shiyin asked Yang Xiao to fight on the front lines, he would not go. His current strength was still insufficient to face unknown dangers. Who knew how many powerful people existed in this world?

So the safest choice was to develop slowly. With the Problem Solver as an umbrella sheltering both him and Toga Himiko, there was nothing to worry about for now.

"Gin-san, I don't want to stay with Yang Xiao every day..." Toga Himiko felt that it was a little strange. That meant only she and Yang Xiao would be working in the core area every day.

"What? He gives in to you every day, and you still have complaints?" Wu Shiyin looked at Toga Himiko strangely. He had no idea what she was thinking.

Toga Himiko knew it would be troublesome to explain something like this. She herself found it strange too, so she simply stopped talking.

"Since there are no problems, you can start working. Considering that Yang Xiao needs to attend school, you only need to report to the Problem Solver after school every day. Your shift ends at ten o'clock." Wu Shiyin looked at Yang Xiao. He could not be too harsh on a student.

"Work ends two hours later? Is there extra pay?" Yang Xiao still cared more about wages at the moment. After all, this was a realistic society. Without money, there was nothing to talk about.

"You're so young, yet you're already obsessed with money." Wu Shiyin smiled. "Don't worry. After joining the core division, your salary will increase several times over. Just wait until the end of the month to collect it."

"Kid, work hard. Your future is limitless, hahaha." Shinpachi Shimura laughed, then got up and walked over to Yang Xiao. Pushing up his glasses, he said, "The Problem Solver can not only train you into an intelligence agent, but also make you stronger. I was about the same as you when I joined the Problem Solver. Now, though... hehe~"

That smile carried a deep meaning. Yang Xiao could not figure out Shinpachi Shimura's strength, but was the Problem Solver really that formidable?

Then he could grow stronger at U.A. High School and grow stronger again after returning to the Problem Solver. It was a complete double harvest.

Would the other three transmigrators be as lucky as him?

That was a question worth pondering deeply.

Ponder my ass. The other three don't even know where they are yet, so what was there to ponder!

"Gin-san, I'm a little sleepy, so I'll head back first. Shinpachi, remember to lock the door when you come back later!" Tae Shimura raised a hand over her mouth and yawned.

"Tae, you're going back so early? Today is the day our newcomers joined. Aren't we going out for a drink together?" Wu Shiyin tried to persuade her to stay.

"Drink your head!" Tae Shimura's face darkened. "Did you forget what happened last time we drank?"

"Uh..." Wu Shiyin froze. The scene from their last drinking session was still vivid in his mind. He had gotten drunk and touched Tae's... and then...

The consequences were too horrible to contemplate. That entire week, Wu Shiyin felt as though he had been living in hell.

Based on his understanding, Yang Xiao could guess some of what had happened. He felt that the Problem Solver's core division was both a pleasant and a "pleasant" place.

He should get along well with everyone. Yeah, probably...
