After a misunderstanding, the situation was finally brought under control. Camie Utsushimi, holding a coffee, shamelessly sat down at Jilan's table and drank her coffee as if nothing had happened.

"Jilan, aren't you going to introduce your friend?" Yaoyorozu reverted to her pampered young lady demeanor, smiling as she asked Jilan.

"She's a student in the Hero Course at Shiketsu High School, in the same year as us." Jilan didn't intend to elaborate further. He squinted at Camie Utsushimi, "Why are you here alone? Where's Yoarashi?"

Camie Utsushimi's invitation has been taken by Jilan, if she wants to come to the expo, she'll either have to go with her elders or shamelessly stick with Inasa Yoarashi and try to get his invitation. Knowing Jilan as he does, Yoarashi will definitely agree to her request after being bothered by her too much.

Sure enough, Camie Utsushimi was stirring her coffee with a spoon when she sighed, "You mean that guy? He heard there was a place to test Quirk and ran off without a second thought, leaving a beautiful girl like me all alone."

Camie Utsushimi looked at Jilan with a resentful gaze. "Tell me, have men's sexual orientations changed these days? They're all ignoring women's invitations and running off to fight with robots."

"Where can I find robot testing?! I want to go too!" Midoriya's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Melissa smiled and pointed out the direction to Midoriya: "The test is in that rockery-shaped building over there. Anyone who is invited can go up and take the test, and if you do well, you can get a prize."

Yaoyorozu coughed twice. "Ahem, Midoriya- kun, no one's stopping you from testing your Quirk. But I think the most important thing right now is to hear about what Jilan has been up to these past few days from him. Aren't you interested?"

"I'm so interested! I want to know what happened to Jilan these past two days!" Midoriya immediately sat down like a good boy, looking at Jilan expectantly.

Camie Utsushimi grinned mischievously, "Hey, what interesting things have happened to Jilan these past few days? I'm very interested."

"You just want to join in the fun, don't you?" Jilan sighed silently as she looked at everyone who was staring at her again. It seemed there was no escaping it this time.

So, where should we begin?

As soon as Jilan started speaking, Minoru Mineta rushed over and eagerly raised his hand to answer, "I know, Jilan brought a really cute girl!"

"Girls are so cute," Camie Utsushimi said ambiguously, resting her face on the back of her hand. "So, you only took my invitation so you could kiss me with another girl? That makes me so sad, Jilan."

"Mineta -kun, were you on the same ship as Jilan back then?" Ochaco Uraraka asked in surprise.

"It wasn't just me, it was Kaminari too. We were on that ship to get summer jobs." Minoru Mineta glanced at Jilan with ill intent, gloating, "But Jilan is different. While we were working ourselves to the bone, he was on that ship, being all lovey-dovey with one, two... five girls in total, no, six girls, enjoying a life like royalty!"

Camie Utsushimi counted on her fingers, gasped, and slammed her hand on the table in indignation. "Six girls?! That's outrageous! There are only five of us here!"

Kyoka Jiro looked at Jilan with disdain. "Scumbag."

"There must be some misunderstanding. I don't believe the class president would do such a thing." After a moment of surprise upon hearing Minoru Mineta's words, Momo Yaoyorozu quickly regained her composure, took a sip of coffee, and calmly said, "Given Minoru Mineta's past misdeeds, he's definitely exaggerating, don't you think, Jilan?"

Jilan looked up at the sky and sighed softly, "Minoru Mineta, you're still alive and well, why don't you cherish it? You were on the ship, sharing life and death, Nakiri and the others must have helped you too. Is slandering them behind their backs your way of repaying them?"

Minoru Mineta, who had just smugly chuckled at the girls' scrutinizing gazes upon Jilan, broke out in a cold sweat. Thinking of the help Nakiri him on the ship, his conscience felt like it was being pricked by needles. He closed his eyes and shouted, "Okay, okay, I know, I'm sorry, I was just joking! Please forgive me!"

Minoru Mineta's shouts drew the attention of the surrounding customers, and the loud noise even attracted Kaminari, who was working inside the shop. "Grape, what are you shouting about? Uncle really put a lot of effort into giving us this job, we can't slack off!"

Kaminari finished speaking, he noticed a large group of his classmates staring at him. He greeted them with great enthusiasm, "Hey everyone, long time no see! Hey, why are you looking at me like that? What happened to Grape?"

Afterwards, Kaminari and Minoru Mineta recounted what had happened, and with Jilan's additions, Izuku Midoriya and the others quickly understood the danger that Jilan and his group had encountered.

Izuku Midoriya said gravely, "There are members of the League of Villains on the ship! We need to inform All Might immediately!"

"A sperm whale bigger than the deck of a luxury cruise ship—does a creature that size really exist?" Uraraka drifted into a fantasy, imagining that scene.

The story is narrated from the perspective of Kaminari and his companion, with Jilan only adding a few simple sentences, deliberately ignoring the dangers of the events and concealing his own numerous close calls. In the imaginations of the Yaoyorozu listeners, Jilan and the others' story on the ship is simply a tale of trying to rescue a girl amidst the machinations of various factions—a somewhat romantic fairy tale.

"The hero saves the damsel in distress, it's a cliché, but honestly it's really touching. Even my girlish heart couldn't help but flutter," Camie Utsushimi with a grin as she reached out to Jilan's face. "If there's a next time, I really hope I'm the one you save."

"Terrorists controlling the entire ship, sperm whales far exceeding their standard forms, the League of Villains opposing Uncle All Might..." Melissa's expression Decay as if she'd discovered something truly terrifying, and she muttered to herself, "Are all of Midoriya's companions' experiences this extensive? No wonder my dad doesn't want me to leave the island; the seriousness of these matters is beyond what a minor like me should be involved in."

Melissa's father is Dr. David, one of the highest-ranking people on the island. He must have known about what happened in the nearby waters. So, even if Melissa didn't intend to tell her father the story, Jilan didn't want it to get out to outsiders.

Jilan reached out and slapped away Camie Utsushimi's outstretched hand, then said earnestly to Melissa, "Miss Melissa, since Midoriya considers you a friend, you are also our friend. If possible, I hope you won't tell your father about these things. No one knows what we've been doing on the ship. Although it probably wouldn't matter if others found out, it would still cause a lot of trouble."

Melissa nodded understandingly. "It's possible that everyone else who knows the specifics besides you has been silenced. Since you consider me a friend, I won't tell anyone about this."
