My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 112

Walking down the stairs and into the living room, Aiden saw Christina sitting around the table messing with her ŀȧptop.

“What are you doing?” He asked and headed towards the fridge.

“Reading up on vȧġɨnȧ poems.”

Halting steps, he made sure that he wasn’t hearing things. “…I don’t think I heard you properly, can you repeat that.”

“Vagina poems.” She repeated without looking away from the ŀȧptop.

Nodding his head, he went back to making a sandwich.

Seeing that he had actually brushed off her comment and was preparing a sandwich, Christina couldn’t help but frown at his lack of curiosity.

“Don’t you want to know why I’m looking up poems about vȧġɨnȧ’s?”

“Not really, you do-

“Well I’m glad you asked!” She cut him off. “You see, while I was flying over here, I saw a woman reading a similar book on the plane and-

“You saw someone reading that in a public environment?” Aiden asked with surprise in his voice.

“Yes, listen to my story! Ahem, as I was saying, I saw a woman reading a similar book on the plane ride over and then it occurred to me that no one’s ever described my vȧġɨnȧ in a satisfactory way.”

“Y’know guys only really care about how wet and tight it is right?” Aiden cut in.

“That’s because men only have one thing on their mind.”

Rolling his eyes, Aiden took a bite out of his sandwich before refuting her. “Oh please, I know for a fact that you use spyware to peep on people. You women are just as horny as men, you just lack the physical and metaphorical balls to admit it.”

Deciding not to argue with the former ȧssassin, Christina went back to reading.

“Heard you got a cultural festival coming up.”

“So?”

“I wanna come.”

“Why are you telling me?”

“I thought you wouldn’t mind escorting me around. You can even show me off to all your little friends. If you ask me nicely, I’ll even pretend that I’m your older girlfriend visiting you from abroad.” She grinned smugly.

“Pass, I’m spending the day with Eri.”

While he had to admit that Christina was definitely a beauty, her personality was such a big turn off to the point that he wouldn’t want to be ȧssociated with her. Her narcissistic tenancies were especially troubling. Back when Dark Star was still around, he was glad that they only had limited meetings. Now he had to see her everyday.

Hearing his rejection, Christina couldn’t help but kiss her teeth and mutter “Lolicon” under her breath.

“*Cough* Skank! *Cough*”

Sitting at his desk, Aiden browsed the internet for the latest news and was mildly surprised to see a recently uploaded vlog near his area. Playing the video, he watched with a bored expression.

“It’s a pŀėȧsurė to meet you all, my dear viewers.” A classy looking man bowed in front of the camera. “What you are about to witness are the illustrious ambitions of an extraordinary man! I am Gentle, the Gentle Criminal!!”

‘The Gentle Criminal?’

Watching the video till its conclusion, Aiden couldn’t believe that there was someone stupid enough to upload themselves committing crimes to the internet. But then he thought back to his home country and instantly took back his words.

From what he gathered from the video, this Gentle dude was more of a criminal than a villain. You could even stretch it to say he was an anti-hero, outing a huge corporation that sold expired goods to the public by using false labels seemed pretty heroic. In Aiden’s eyes, the Gentle Criminal wasn’t that bad of a guy. Sure he committed crimes, but he was neither hurting anyone besides the heroes who came to apprehend him, and even then they suffer no long lasting damage.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he uploaded all of this online, Aiden might have even respected him. Unfortunately it was clear that he was only doing this for publicity.

Stopping his thoughts there, his eyes suddenly went wide as he realized something was wrong with him. If this had been 2 years ago, he wouldn’t have dared have such thoughts.

‘Did experiencing my parents die over and over again affect me more than initially thought!?’

Before he could delve further into his thoughts, the sound of his phone ringing brought him back to reality.

“Hello.”

“Hey Aiden! Just wanted to let you know that I did what you asked and the class has come to a conclusion of what we want to do for the cultural festival.”

Sighing, he started scrolling through the comments of Gentle’s video while talking to Momo.

“So what did the class decide?”

“We voted on doing a concert.”

‘Seriously?’

“A concert huh, do you guys know how to set one up?”

“Well no, but Jirou knows a lot about this stuff so we’ll manage.”

“Good, thanks for keeping me updated, see you tomorr-

“Actually!” Momo suddenly cut him off. “I was wondering if you would like to walk around the festival together?”

“No can do, I’m spending most of the day with Eri, but if you manage to get some free time, you can tag along with us.”

“Oh? Okay then.” Hanging up the phone, Momo looked down at the communication tool in her hands and sighed in defeat.

After hearing the story from Deku about how Overhaul used the girl as a living weapon and the amount of terror she must have felt. Momo couldn’t resent her for taking Aiden away for the festival, in fact she was kind of envious of her. Without understanding why she was so attached to Aiden, Eri was able to spend an entire day with a guy that normally wouldn’t give others the time of day. How could Momo not be jealous of her?
