Kaminari Muzan

"Tsuyu-chan, watch out..." Uraraka looked up at the rising Asui and deactivated her Quirk the moment Asui reached the top of the ship.

"Hmm." Asui's head popped out of the boat, and he nodded to the group, indicating that he was fine.

"Then it's my turn..."

Asui- like Quirk include a frog's tongue, which can extend very long. After Uraraka made a thumbs-up gesture, Frog-like personality traits extended her tongue from above, curled Uraraka up, and carried her onto the ship.

"Why did I have to bring this annoying guy up with me...?"

Jiro hugged Minoru Mineta with a look of disgust, his arms outstretched, determined not to let him touch his body.

She had just heard Minoru Mineta's "harem" remarks, and was now extremely wary of him, preferring to expend more effort herself rather than let him succeed.

Jiro has always been averse to others touching her body. Although she had to hold onto Iida's waist to maintain her balance, it was out of necessity. Moreover, Iida's cold, steel mecha suit made it difficult for her to feel averse to it.

Jiro is completely powerless against cool things like motorcycles and scooters...

But this Grape... always had a silly smile on his face, and just being hugged made him look so comfortable, it was incredibly annoying.

I really want to shove my Earphone Jack into his tacky head and give it a good thrashing!

Jiro sighed. There was nothing he could do; it was Uraraka's request, and he couldn't refuse...

Although it was only a few seconds, it felt like centuries to Jiro, who threw the Grape away in disgust as soon as he got on the boat.

Grape knew he was disliked by girls, but this gentlemanly spirit was deeply ingrained in his heart, impossible to remove, and he hadn't even thought of hiding it. After all—what kind of man doesn't do that?!

Minoru Mineta used these words to strike at Kaminari's Achilles' heel, causing him to abandon his outward pretense and confront his true self.

Although Minoru Mineta came for Midoriya, he actually wanted to rescue Kaminari more, since he was a close friend he had finally found.

Speaking of Denki Kaminari, Minoru Mineta started rambling, "I came here to save you, so you have to repay me afterwards. Whether it's doujinshi, games, or handshake tickets, I'm not picky at all..."

"Is the enemy on this ship...?" Uraraka looked at Asui and said solemnly, "Tsuyu-chan, it's up to you."

"Okay, leave it to me." Asui nodded, turned around, jumped towards the ship's side, and stuck to the glass.

Uraraka gave Asui a thumbs-up and said to Minoru Mineta and Kyoka Jiro, "Tsuyu-chan is moving along the outer wall of the ship. We'll Search the inside of the hull. If things get bad, Jiro, you use your sound waves to shatter the glass and let Tsuyu-chan rush in to help us escape."

The plan had no major flaws, Jiro nodded in agreement, with Minoru Mineta also having no objections.

The three exchanged a glance, and Uraraka took the lead, heading down to the lower level to begin her investigation from the first room at the top of the stairs.

When she saw a clean, cramped little house that was completely deserted, Uraraka breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she hadn't won the lottery in the very first room.

Then she opened the door to the room opposite, which was also empty.

Uraraka turned to look at Jiro, Jiro understood and went down to open the doors to the other rooms.

Before long, they opened all the rooms in the corridor, which were just similar small dorm rooms, with no enemies hiding inside.

Finally, they stopped at the door of the room at the far end.

"This is the only one left..." Uraraka Jiro reassuringly. "Let me take it."

The door was perfectly normal, just like the previous rooms, and it opened open to them without any problems. However, unlike before, Izuku Midoriya and Denki Kaminari, whom they were looking for, were waiting for them inside the room.

Apart from the chandelier hanging from the ceiling, there was no other light source in the room. There was no one else in the room except for Kaminari, who was sitting in a chair with his body bound, his hair turned into a pen holder shape pointing upwards, his mouth wide open and covered by a red ball, shaking his head violently at them with a terrified expression.

Midoriya stood behind Kaminari, his lower body hidden by the chair, his arms and face concealed in shadow. Even when he heard the door open, he kept his head down and remained silent.

"Midoriya -kun!" Uraraka exclaimed with delight, "We've finally found you!"

Jiro glanced at Kaminari, and seeing that he was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still said sarcastically, "Have you turned into a punk thug? That spiky hairstyle is really lame."

"Has no one been kidnapped, or have the kidnappers already left?" Minoru Mineta cautiously peeked out from the doorway. Finding no enemies, he wiped away tears and excitedly walked towards Kaminari. "You have no idea what I went through to save you! I demand compensation for my emotional distress!"

Kyoka Jiro walked closer and looked at what was stuffed in Denki Kaminari's mouth, her gaze becoming even stranger. "What's that in your mouth? When did you develop this kind of hobby?"

Just now, due to the light, Kaminari's face was in shadow. Only when you get closer can you see that the ring-shaped strap is holding the ping-pong ball in place, preventing him from closing his mouth. As a natural reaction, Kaminari's mouth is still drooling.

Grape shook her head and sighed, "I lent you a magazine yesterday, and today you've used it on your body. Just how much do you like these things...?"

Kaminari shook his head even more frantically.

Although Jiro verbally expressed her dislike, she skillfully inserted the Earphone Jack on both sides of her ears into the keyholes and pried open the locks on Kaminari's wrists and ankles. As for the plug on his face, it seemed to be the kind that tightens the more you move it. Jiro didn't have a sharp blade in her hand, so she didn't make a move easily. Moreover, looking at the liquid residue on it, she was unwilling to do it even if she had the tools.

When Jiro rescued Kaminari, Uraraka came to Midoriya's side, tried to take his hand, and asked worriedly, "Midoriya, are you alright?"

"Do not move!"

Midoriya's body trembled as he roared.

Uraraka's hand, which was about to touch Midoriya, stopped in mid-air, and the entire room fell silent, except for Kaminari's "woo-woo" cries.

... Did he not want her to touch him? As Uraraka was thinking this, she suddenly noticed the marks on Midoriya's arm. She looked up and saw that Midoriya was trembling all over, with obvious tear tracks on both cheeks.

Is he crying?

"Midoriya -kun..."

"Sorry, I lost control just now." After a moment of silence, Midoriya looked up and smiled calmly. "Time is running out, you should leave now, I'll be gone soon."

Kaminari knelt on the ground with his hands and feet on the ground and his head hanging down. He heard Midoriya's calm words and tried to speak, but he couldn't say anything. So he tried to use his freed hands to remove the thing from his mouth, but the belt tightened more and more on his face. His eyes rolled back, and he rolled on the ground in pain like a donkey with its mouth clamped shut.

"Is this guy an idiot?" Jiro sighed.

She had no intention of helping, and even felt a little amused.

Minoru Mineta's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "What a pity Ashido isn't here right now. Otherwise, she could have sprayed Acid in Kaminari's face. If that had Kaminari might have been able to break free of the ball..."

Kyoka Jiro disgust, taking two steps back. "Minoru Mineta, your thoughts are truly filthy. Ashido would never do such a thing!"

"I was referring to the acidic liquid spewed from Ashido's Quirk, not Jiro's. What are you thinking!"

Denki Kaminari is on the verge of despair, it's almost time for them to die, and you're all arguing here!

"Ta-da."

A knock sounded on the door, and a gentle male voice came from inside. "Hello, you seem to be having a lot of fun. May I join in?"
