128: Investigation (1)

Chapter 128: Investigation (1)

—

It was morning, and Rumi has been hugging Neji as they both lay on the bed naked.

"So, you're in a relationship with both your maid and… sister?"

Rumi asked slowly in disbelief, to which Neji shrugged. "Yeaaah, that's about it. Shocking, right?"

"...Your parents know?"

"No, of course not." Neji chuckled nervously. "I don't know what'll happen if they find out."

There fell a silence in the room, a long silence before Rumi tightened her arms around Neji, popping her lips.

"Ugh, I don't care anymore… you're mine, got that? I don't care who else you're seeing, just give me a bit of time and I am fine with it."

She was okay with it as long as he didn't make her feel lonely, while he was playing with other girls. Not like she ever cared about relationships anyway, it was something she never cared to consider at all. So anything is fine with her as long as she gets enough attention.

She wasn't done making her decision last night.

Then the night ended.

Now the decision seemed as if that's what had always been on her mind.

He was just too good for her to even consider someone else. She could never find a man who could match her in battle, so following that logic, she knew no man could match her in the bed either.

Meaning, for her, he was irresistible. 

Maybe her quirk really had issues… or was he just that good? Either way, it didn't matter anymore.

"Now, I know you fuck around a lot, and would keep doing that. But only the four of us—me, Momo, your sis and maid—are the… it's strange saying this, but I guess we are the main girls? Kinda like we are four wives and you're one playboy husband." She giggled to herself. "But I want to ask, do you plan to bring more 'wives' here? No need to answer me if you don't wish to."

Neji's eyes met hers as they both stared at each other. At last, Neji nodded. "I do. Truth be told, I already have someone in mind, someone you're very familiar with."

"Who?"

"Ryuko Tatsuma," Neji said softly, causing Rumi's eyes to widen. "She's been on my mind since forever, but I wasn't in a hurry so I didn't actively pursue her. But I believe it's time for me to take her."

"...Why her?" Rumi stared at him.

Neji slowly smiled, grinning. "What else? I just want a dragon waifu."

—★—

A week passed like that and the classes in UA regained their previous cheerful colour.

"Damn, so you can mind control anyone as long as they answer your question?!"

"Yeah...haha."

"Oooh wow, that's so cool!"

Shinso was also getting along with others pretty well now. People actively avoided him, but things changed slowly.

Neji returned to his usual flirting, but he honestly didn't have anyone in the classroom he was interested enough to bring in his harem, so he wasn't pushing too much. Though if he really were to leave school in less than two months, he wanted a taste of Mina's pink skin at least… also, Midnight.

Though he hadn't come across the older woman in a while now.

After classes ended, Neji went to the dungeon with Kurai. He now had limited time on his hands, and currently, only Ryukyu was on his target list. But Ryukyu wasn't willing to meet with him right now. 

So any second that's not spent behind her could be spent behind the dungeon. 

Levelling himself up was a must, after all.

That night, he went to cuddle with Nejire.

"How's school life going?" He asked, hugging her from behind as she lay on the bed, fiddling with her phone. "Our classes are boring these days, we're just studying for the incoming exam. I am curious, is the third year the same?"

Nejire put the phone down and turned around before putting her arms around his neck. "You're finally asking me about schools and stuff, huh?"

She giggled. "3rd year is kinda boring, school wise. We don't get the same tests and training we get in 1st and 2nd years. We spend most of our time in hero agencies, after all. Even on school days. The only fun happens there, too."

"Ohh, I see." Neji nodded. "So are you enjoying your time there?"

"Hmm…" Nejire hummed, slowly narrowing her eyes. "What's up? Why are you asking me useless questions all of a sudden?"

Neji rubbed her plump lips with his thumb. "Can't I ask how my older sister is doing? It's every brother's job to do so."

Nejire didn't say anything and instead, she pushed him on his back and crawled on top of his abdomen, feeling his hands reach out and grab her curvy waist.

"Heh, you're fulfilling your brotherly duties?" She scoffed. "Fulfill your manly duties too, then. We haven't done it one-on-one in a while."

Aggressively, she placed her lips on top of his.

"Hey! Hey!" Neji pushed her back. "Mom and Dad are home, you know? We are gonna get caught." He said to her, "Just… cuddle, okay?"

Nejire wiped her lips with an unhappy look on her face, but she understood his point. It was equally important to her, too.

"Well, whatever." She didn't leave his abdomen and simply rested her head on his chest. "Let's continue our talk from before."

—★—

Neji wasn't just levelling up in the dungeons, he was training martial arts, his spear proficiency, parkour, and quirk too.

But just that won't do.

He needed to prepare himself for when he gets captured by the League of Villains. He needs to know the members of the current league to prepare a counter plan for each of them. He couldn't afford to get caught off guard.

So…

"Can you do it?" Neji asked Kimi, who stared at him suspiciously.

"I mean… I can try. But you have to tell me why. I am worried, you know? Why do you want me to figure out the location of a rising villain group?" Kimi asked worriedly. "What are you planning?"

"I am planning something big," Neji said. "But you're not worried, are you? You can't be worried after you saw me fight in the dungeon."

Kimi sighed at that. "Look, just because you're strong doesn't mean I can't be worried. You're in fact a lot stronger than before. Even after my race changed, which more or less fixed the problem with my low strength along with giving me more benefits, you're matching me toe to toe now while you couldn't even stand still before."

She stared at his eyes. "You clearly have ways to get stronger, fast. Probably some magic item, I won't pry. But don't tell me not to worry. No one is invincible." 

After a long time of staring at each other's eyes, Kimi sighed first. "Fine, I will help you. But I can't guarantee success. The police are already trying hard to find them, but they are unable to."

"That's because they lack references," Neji said. "I have a few guesses of people who might be part of the League now. You just have to track them and we will find out about them. Also, in case it wasn't clear already, don't leak this information to the police."

Kimi sighed as her shoulders dropped. She didn't like the feeling of what he was trying to do…

"Fine, show me."

She rose and sat on his computer desk.

"As you understand, this is not a day's work. It will take a few weeks for me to be certain, even with the reference." Kimi said before her fingers started to move.

"It's fine." Neji leaned over her shoulders. "While you do that… I will do my own investigation."

"..."

Kimi stopped to look dead at his eyes, but seeing him smiling at her, she could only sigh.

—★—

The League of Villains was growing faster than ever. But Neji had no way to figure out where they were exactly. Except one…

Izuku Midoriya.

When school ended, Kimi drove Nejire away while Kurai and Neji were left behind, on the excuse of a dungeon. But that day, Neji had no plan to go to the dungeon.

"Kurai, the [Stealth] is working, right?"

Neji softly asked and Kurai meowed in response.

"Stealth" was a spell that worked like a charm when the person was in a crowd. This spell lowered a person's presence, like a stone by the side of the road. If the road is empty, people will notice it sometimes, but if the road is busy, no one in their right mind would care to look at a pebble. That's the amount of attention Neji and Kurai were receiving now,  that of a pebble's.

Getting double confirmation from Kurai and the lack of attention from those around him, Neji walked inside the bullet train... a few chambers away from Izuku.
