Chaos

Things happened so fast that the sperm whale, which had been dazed and almost forgotten, suddenly became the protagonist, devouring the two who had just confessed their love in one gulp, leaving no room for anyone to react.

No one knew why it suddenly sprang up, but the ship's movement caused the other deck to tilt into the air like a seesaw, eliciting screams!

Toga lay on the ground, gripping the railing tightly, staring blankly at the cloak fluttering on the thin water like blood.

No way, Robin Hood, no, Jilan Jiyu just died like that? He was All Might's student, Tomura Shigaraki's rival, and he chose to commit suicide for such an absurd reason as "committing suicide for love"?

Toga didn't believe such a thing could happen. Even if she had heard the news from someone else, or even from Shigaraki, she would have thought it was just an April Fool's joke.

From the moment Himiko Toga saw Jilan Jiyu on the U.A. High School Sports Festival broadcast, she felt that Jilan Jiyu possessed a special quality that attracted her. She didn't know what it was, but Himiko Toga inexplicably believed that Jilan couldn't just leave the stage like that.

He would never die willingly, let alone "die for love." That's what Toga thought.

But this happened right in front of her, Himiko Toga couldn't help but believe it.

"Finally, Little Red Riding Hood is out of the question." Once the boat regained its balance, Alain got up and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

To prevent the android experimental formula from being leaked, he hired Adams and offered the ship's business partners an enticing deal. Although Little Red Riding Hood wasn't ultimately captured by any of them, and Alain didn't have to pay any extra compensation, it was certain that Alain would ultimately have to bear the consequences of the chaos they caused.

What troubled him even more was that he had also offended the ship's captain, Barus. His contract with Barus explicitly stipulated that the Dark Shadow faction was absolutely forbidden from bringing any weapons or support equipment onto the ship. On the surface, Alain did abide by this rule, but just in case, he still used one of his subordinates' "storage belly" Quirk to smuggle several kilograms of TNT explosives onto the ship.

"As long as we tell the boss what happened, the organization will help resolve Barus's situation after we disembark," Alain muttered to himself, glancing at Himiko Toga. "Now, only she's left."

Toga sensed Alain's gaze, but she still couldn't accept the fact that Jilan was dead, and was captured by Alain's men without making any effective resistance.

"Boss, what should we do with her?" one of them asked.

Just as Alain was about to speak, the sperm whale suddenly began to thrash about as if it had eaten something bad, its tail rising high and then falling heavily against the deck, accelerating the drop in the cruise ship's water level.

It arched its body, as if it wanted to vomit, and opened its mouth wide towards the ground. However, it didn't vomit anything—as if it had stuffed the explosives into its mouth earlier. With a "boom," smoke and fumes erupted from the middle of its body!

It roared in agony, slamming its head heavily against the deck. The entire ship was being struck like a drumhead by the sperm whale, and the intense Vibrate reverberated throughout the ship once again!

No one on deck could maintain their balance in that situation; they were all swaying and trying to find something to support themselves. As soon as the sperm whale calmed down, someone cried out to Alain, "Boss, that girl, Himiko Toga is gone!"

Upon hearing this, a junior leader immediately turned his gaze in that direction. All he could see were his Himiko Toga, dressed in conspicuous white, was nowhere to be seen.

Where could she have run off to in such a short time? The door to the cabin was locked! Could it be that Himiko Toga used her Quirk to infiltrate their group during the chaos?!

The leader reacted quickly, immediately shouting, "Now check yourselves! Who has blood on them?!"

Upon hearing this, they began to bend down and check their bodies, and one of them immediately responded, "My hand was cut by a shard of glass, and there's a lot of blood!"

Alain once used smashing bottles as a signal to give orders, and the glass shards scattered on the deck were caused by him. Now, these glass shards have brought convenience to Toga, allowing her to successfully absorb blood and complete her transformation without any sharp weapons!

Thinking this, the foreman turned to Alain and reported, "Boss, that girl has transformed and is hiding among us. I'll find her in just a few minutes!"

The person who just reported his injured hand was a Werewolf. Because he was in Werewolf mode, he was so excited that he didn't even notice his injury. It's highly likely that Toga has also become a Werewolf. But it's dark now, and Werewolf look alike. If you don't look closely, you can't tell the difference between the two.

However, there are fewer than twenty people here in total, so it's easy to find the location of Himiko Toga if you spend a few minutes identifying him.

The henchman was harboring such thoughts, but Alain stopped him. "Don't worry about her, I've discovered something more important!"

Alain's hurried tone puzzled the squad leader. He looked up at Alain and found that he paid no attention to him at all; his eyes were fixed on the sperm whale's belly—where a faint light was flickering.

"Attention passengers! Please bring your identification and life jackets and proceed to the bow deck to board the lifeboats. Note that this is the bow deck; access to the stern deck is now prohibited. For your safety, please proceed to the bow deck to board the lifeboats as soon as possible. Repeat, please take note."

Hearing the constant blaring from the loudspeaker, Minoru Mineta cried out anxiously, "Let's go! The ship is sinking! There's no point in staying in this room now. Jilan won't be coming back!"

"Is Jilan dead? No way, haha, he must be hiding in that corner waiting to scare us, right?" Kaminari said with a forced smile.

"Who knows? After all, this is so different from what we initially expected," Erina Nakiri said calmly. "But in any case, Jilan successfully completed her mission, and Little Red Riding Hood is no longer in that terrorist organization's sights."

"But Jilan is gone! He's been eaten by that whale!" Denki Kaminari stood up excitedly. "Indeed, we didn't expect the terrorist organization to have so many people, but we were able to go out and help Jilan, instead of Jilan him to face the terrorists alone! Apart from Ibara Shiozaki, we didn't help Jilan at all!"

"Calm down. You need to recognize this fact: the premise of helping Little Red Riding Hood is that our identities cannot be discovered by the enemy. Otherwise, we'll be the ones who regret it when it affects U.A. High School. Apart from Jilan, who is in disguise, none of us can step forward." Nakiri calmly confronted Kaminari. "Besides, wasn't your stored electricity used up to cover Jilan's appearance? You've already done your best."

Kaminari opened his mouth, but said nothing. Indeed, he had done his best, and even his mind had just come back to normal from "strong mode".

Kaminari slumped to the ground, utterly dejected. "Does this mean Jilan is truly beyond saving?"

He died a worthy death.

Ueno, who had been listening impatiently for some time, interrupted their conversation, "Hey, what are you talking about? Who said that Jilan is dead?"
