Chapter 141 - Long Night

After that incident, the newspaper was filled with news about Hero Killer, Stein. The news shows, talk shows, and a lot more talked about Stein endlessly since Stein could really move their hearts. Even though Stein was a villain, they couldn't forget the charm in his idealism. Though the government hurriedly put a ban on everyone who was trying to talk about Stein, it didn't mean that it would stop people from appreciating Stein since there were people who tried to upload the video about Stein's speech when he was about caught by the hero even though it had been banned several times.

In the end, it had become a cat and mouse game between the uploader of the video and the government who tried to take down the video.

It is as if giving everyone a message, even though Stein has been caught, but his ideal will continue.

"I will inherit Stein's ideal!"

A man who was holding a katana with a bandage to cover his appearance shouted after he had stolen money from the convenience store.

"Is that so? Then, why don't you meet him in Tartarus?"

The man turned and he was greeted by a punch.

BAAM!

Brando was there and signed since his job became quite busy after Stein's incident. It was his six days in the internship and tomorrow would be his last day but he didn't expect his days would become this busy suddenly because of Stein.

It was two days after Stein had been caught that a lot of people started to mimic him.

"Good job, Dio."

Ryukyu came toward him with a tired expression.

"Yeah." Brando pulled the man that had caused trouble and gave the money back to the convenience store.

"Why is Stein so popular?" Nejire was confused and frustrated since there was a lot of crime happening because of Stein.

"Because his idea is refreshing since no one has tried to think that the hero's society at this time is wrong. People are bored or they're dissatisfied with something then, in the end, this is the result. There are a lot of people trying to mimic Stein since he is cool even though they don't really understand him," Brando said. He knew that it might be his fault for telling Kurogiri to upload the video about Stein.

"What do you think about this hype about Stein then?" Ryukyu asked.

"The same goes for hype, people will be bored over time. This will calm down for a week as long as no one has mentioned it again. I am sure that people won't think that it is worth it to enter a jail because they want to become a Stein, right?" Brando asked the person who wanted to wear Stein's mask.

"....Yes....." This person answered weakly.

Ryukyu and Nejire chuckled and thought that the situation wasn't as serious as they had thought.

Brando was wondering who had sold Stein's mask since this person was really good at making money. He knew that that person couldn't do it in the open and could only do it in the dark. 'Villains? Or a Broker?' He knew that even though some people would only follow the hype, some people would probably decide to join the League of Villains.

'But it doesn't matter.' Brando had tried to invite Kurogiri and he knew that black mist didn't reject his invitation but he knew that he needed to show his power. He was wondering whether he could have a chance to fight Kurogiri's boss in the future.

"Nejire, Brando, I know that both of you are tired but we need to continue to work," Ryukyu said while looking at both of them.

"Yes!"

---

Nejire and Ryukyu were together resting together.

Brando was writing a report about the incident and sent it to the Public Safety Commission.

Nejire and Ryukyu looked at Brando's figure who was working seriously and thought that he was really charming.

"Tomorrow is his last day, right? Ryukyu?" Nejire asked.

Ryukyu wasn't sure but she felt quite reluctant since her job was quite easier now. "Yeah."

"Do you want to give him a surprise?" Nejire asked.

Ryukyu turned and looked at Nejire. "That's a good idea!"

"Then, we need to tell him to go out for an entire day tomorrow!" Nejire was excited.

"Good, I'll just tell him that he can take a break in the last days of his internship since he has been working very hard in the past week." Ryukyu agreed immediately with the plan.

Brando turned toward Nejire and Ryukyu who were talking to each other. He was wondering whether they didn't know that he could hear the conversation from his location. He thought that they were quite cute before continued to do his job.

Brando had just finished his job before taking a shower, then went back to his room. He saw that his phone was ringing.

"You're late!"

Brando smiled and answered, "I am in the bath earlier."

"Oh, really?" Kanan asked.

"Yeah, do you want me to send you my photo in the bath?" Brando asked teasingly.

"Really?" Kanan asked and sounded quite excited.

"Pervert," Brando said.

"The girl is also perverted!" Kanan said.

"....."

Brando wasn't sure what to say and asked, "How is your preparation? Tomorrow is your time to perform, right?"

"It's good. We're ready for this," Kanan said.

"I know. I believe that you can succeed in doing your performance tomorrow," Brando said.

"Thank you." Kanan was happy and asked, "How is your internship? Tomorrow is your last day for an internship, right?"

"Yes. It's alright, but it is quite busy since the hero killer has a lot of fans," Brando said.

"That's right! The Hero Killer!" Kanan suddenly remembered.

Brando and Kanan talked for a while about Hero Killer, internship, and her concert tomorrow.

"I miss you."

"Me too. I want to see you too."

Brando didn't lie since he wanted to see her.

"Can I visit you?" Kanan asked.

Brando thought for a while and agreed. "Sure. You can come when I am done with my internship, but will your father agree?"

"....."

Brando chuckled and said, "I'll visit you, don't worry."

"Alright. I'll be waiting."

They talked for a while before they ended their conversation.

Brando suddenly felt that his phone vibrated again and saw that it was from Yui, Momo, and a lot more. 'It seems like the night is still long.'

"Hello."
