Chapter 137 - Ice Cream 1

The fire that was happening in the building was hurriedly being put out by a combination of firefighters and heroes who had a Quirk of water control.

Brando was alright but both Ryukyu and Nejire told him to check his condition to the doctor. He let the doctor check his condition in the ambulance before going out directly when the doctor had checked that his condition was alright.

"So we're going to go back now?"

Ryukyu shook her head. "No, I am going to make a report with the police first. You can go back first if you want."

"Can I watch it?" Brando asked.

"Sure," Ryukyu agreed with his request easily since Brando had worked quite hard earlier. She was really glad for him to have an internship in her office or else it would be hard to handle this situation by herself.

Nejire was helping the victim and tried to calm them down.

The arsonist had been caught by the police and was being sent to the office to be interrogated.

Brando knew that it wasn't his job anymore and he only needed help to calm down the victim.

"Excuse me."

Brando turned and saw the lady that he had saved before. He looked at her curiously and asked, "Yes?"

"Thank you very much for helping me," the lady said.

"It's alright. It's my job." Brando could say that even though this lady might be quite old, she was very beautiful. He could tell that even though she was around 40s but her appearance was similar in someone who was in her late 20s.

"No. I am very grateful to you. If you didn't save me before I might not be able to meet my husband and daughter again," the lady said.

"I am glad I was able to save you," Brando said and held her hand gently.

The lady smiled when she saw her holding her hands. "If you're free, I'll let you stay at my hotel in Numazu. That place is very beautiful for a trip." She thought that it would be a good chance since summer also would start soon.

'Numazu, huh?' Brando thought that he was right. He could see that this lady might be Mari's mother. He nodded and said, "Then, I'll try to visit your hotel when I am fre----" Someone suddenly pulled his ear.

"Let's go! I need someone to help me manage the victims of the fire," Nejire said.

"Wait! Nejire-chan! Don't pull my ear!"

When the matter was over, Brando went back to Ryukyu's office and went to the bath directly since he was quite dirty earlier. He felt being a hero was quite hard but when he looked at the remuneration that Ryukyu had gotten after saving the civilians he changed his mind instantly.

Hosu City.

Suddenly a black portal appeared on the top of the building.

"So this is Hosu City, huh? It was livelier than I thought it would be," Shigaraki said.

"I will reform this city... But to do that I need more sacrifice."

The man who had said those words was the one who was known as Hero Killer, Stain.

Shigaraki and Kurogiri looked at Stain who was in front of them.

"The hero is the title reserved for those who perform truly great feats! Too many are underserving..... Just the money worshippers are playing heroes!"

Stain jumped while saying, "Until this society wakes up and corrects itself... I will continue my work." He went out to hunt for another hero to correct this society.

"All that high and all mighty talk yet how pitiful he was with his progress. It's almost precious how hard he's trying." Shigaraki laughed while scratching his neck.

"You shouldn't criticize him too much...." Kurogiri started to explain the effect that Stain had caused on the hero's society that had decreased the number of crimes in the Hosu City.

"Hero Killer? He might as well be called Hero Breeder at least indirectly." Shigaraki snorted and crossed his arms while saying, "I know that deep down that he is just too different from me. It's pissing me off. Kurogiri. Bring out the Nomu."

Kurogiri didn't say anything and summoned two Nomu out.

"That's right! How about we call him too!" Shigaraki thought a good idea.

"Him? You mean Dio Brando?" Kurogiri asked.

"Yes. He should be on our side rather than on the hero side," Shiragaraki said.

"But....." Kurogiri wanted to say something.

"Just try it. I am sure that he won't attack you," Shiragaraki said.

Kurogiri nodded but said, "But the place where he is staying is a bit troublesome."

"Ryukyu, huh?" Shiragaraki knew from the news that Brando was working as an intern in that place. He thought for a while and said, "Just try it. It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not."

"Alright."

Kurogiri said he then used his power to teleport to meet him.

Brando felt that he wanted to eat ice cream after that incident. He walked out of his room and asked Ryukyu, "Ryukyu, Nejire-chan, I want to buy ice cream. Do you want some?"

"Ice cream? Sure," Ryukyu agreed without hesitation.

"Oh, me too! I also want ice cream!" Nejire said.

"Alright, I'll buy it in the convenience store now," Brando said then went out from the office to the nearby convenience store. He was wearing a black tracksuit along with black running shoes and a black cap since he didn't want to be known. He was quite famous in this area after saving a lot of people. He bought the ice cream and wanted to go back until he saw a familiar black mist on the alley. He raised his eyebrow and walked to the alley to meet this person.

"What are you doing here? Is Shigaraki going to do something here?" Brando asked while eating his ice cream.

"....." Kurogiri looked at Brando and couldn't read his mind. Though, he knew that this guy wasn't some hero who would scream to catch him as soon as he met him.

"I want to invite you to watch something?"

"Watch, eh? I hope it's something interesting or else I'll snap your neck now."

Kurogiri suddenly felt something wrapping around his neck and started to sweat profusely before it started to tighten his neck, 'This guy isn't a hero.'
