My Hero Academia and Goblin Slayer: The Crossover Paradox: Part 11
The Return and the Winter Solstice Festival:
Barely able to contain herself, Momo sat on the edge of her padded seat. Staring out the front of the Wagon that was returning her, the Priestess and the Elf to home. Sure they all had fun on the Quest escorting the Merchant and his Wagons. But she found after the first day she really missed Izuku. She barely slept at night, due to not having him next to her or within her arms. "Someone is anxious?" The Elf commented and Momo looked over at her.
"Can't help it. I really missed him." Momo said back to the Elf and returned to impatiently watch as the City began to grow larger in front of them as they neared it. She had to fight the urge to jump out the back of the Wagon and run to her and Izuku's home. Though she suspected that he would be waiting for her at the Guild, so she remained.
"We returned just in time. Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice Celebration." The Priestess said with a giddiness. She had been looking forward to the Solstice ever since the Snow began to come down. It was a considered a time of new beginnings and of course remembrance for the past year. Also it was the one time of year when those from her Order were given the opportunity to leave the Order if they so desired. She had seen a few of the older members do that. Wanting to basically have a normal life with a husband, a home and a family. She had to admit to herself she considered doing that as well, the only thing was the only two she found herself tempted to leave the Order for. One was too obsessed with Killing Goblins and the other was Married. So that was that.
"Something or perhaps someone on your mind? Tomorrow is when you can leave the Order if you so desire, right?" The Elf asked with a small smile as the Priestess blushed. Shaking her head.
"Just thinking about one of my Fellow Priestess's. She is 17 and she has been interested in a Wood Cutter for the past year." The Priestess hoped that her friend could tell that she was lying. She was not good at lying, even though it was only a partial lie. She did know of an older Priestess that ever since last year has had a discrete interest in a Young Man that was a Wood Cutter in a small Village to the Southeast. Entering the City and as the Wagon pulled up to the Guild, Momo who was only partially listening saw Izuku standing outside waiting. She bounded out the back of the Wagon and jumped onto him. He caught her and she hugged him tightly.
"You have no idea how much I missed you." Momo said whispering in his right ear. He blushed and smiled as he hugged her back. Parting slightly she stared into his green eyes intently. "So did you behave yourself while I was gone?" She asked him and he blushed even more. Causing her to giggle.
"I spent most of my time at the Farm and then at the Cottage, alone. I missed you too." Izuku quickly said and Momo giggled again. Finding it funny that he was so worried that she might actually think he would do something when she left on the four day Quest. That he told her what he had done. She bet if she asked he would give a full accounting in complete detail. She looked over to the Dwarf and Lizard Priest and both nodded. Assuring her that Izuku had done exactly as he said he had done. Reaching down she took his right hand in her left, then led him back to their Cottage. She so wanted to kiss him and then go to bed. She had not slept much in the past four days and she really wanted to cuddle with him and get some restful sleep.
In the Morning the two arose and put on Normal Clothes having no intention of going on any Quests. Generally they would head to the Guild wearing their Kevlar Armor and both carrying a Backpack so they could go on a Quest if they wanted to. Either with the others when it involved Goblins or something that did not involve Goblins if they found it interesting. Today though was the Winter Solstice and that meant it was time to join in the festivities. Arriving at the Guild, they were met by their friends and had breakfast. Along with a mug of Ale. Momo cautioned Izuku about drinking too much. He was not what someone would call a heavy drinker when it came to alcohol, while she has had Saki at certain times since she was 11. So some lightly fortified Ale barely effected her. The celebration then moved to where the rest of the City was holding it, which was the main Plaza in the middle of the City. Where they not only served Ale, but Brandy Wine and Maple Beer. There was also assorted cheeses, meats, breads and glazed Sugar Fruit. "So is Goblin Slayer coming?" Izuku asked towards the others.
"Yeah right." The Elf said pointing over at the large hill that overlooked the City plus all around it. "I will give odds that he is sitting up there, watching for any Goblins to come." She then laughed as did the others. Music began to play and Momo grabbed Izuku's hand.
"Come...you are dancing with me." Momo stated and almost dragged him onto the planked wooden dance floor that had been set up. Other couples were already there and Momo threw her arms over Izuku's shoulders. He moved his arms around her lower back and the two swayed back and forth to the music. After three songs had played, the Elf lightly elbowed the Priestess. Who had been watching the two as they danced.
"Go on. I am sure Creati will let you dance with Deku if you want to. You are about the only one she would trust." The Elf said to her much younger friend trying to encourage her. The Blonde Girl, blushed and nervously lowered her sight down towards the ground. When she made no move to ask Momo to allow her to dance with Izuku. The Elf decided to intervene. "Hey Creati." She said loudly and Momo looked over at her. "Priestess here would like to dance with your Husband, if that is alright?" Momo gave a soft laugh and moved her and Izuku over towards them still on the dance floor. Unleashing him, she grabbed the Priestess's right wrist and pulled her towards him.
"Dance with her a couple of times." Momo ordered him and Izuku swallowed nervously as he placed his hands and arms around the Blonde Girls lower back as she tentatively placed her hands on his shoulders. Both were blushing a deep shade of red, as they danced. Allowing the other Girl four dances with him, Momo then retook Izuku back. Mainly due to the number of other Girls she had spotted that were eyeing him. Some even began to subtly move towards him and she suspected that they were about to inquire about dancing with him as well. That was something she was not going to allow. So after politely cutting in, she made it clear as possible that Izuku belonged to her by kissing him as passionately as she could. Then joined their friends at the table. The Elf was laughing hysterically.
"Staking a claim on your property, huh." The Elf said still laughing but now at how red Izuku's face had become. He was unaccustomed to Public Displays of Affection. Momo smiled.
"Yep. Got to show those other Girls that he is mine." Momo declared and the others began to laugh. That sent Izuku's heart pounding heavily in his chest. He found it confusing as hell why she clung to him and wanted to be with him. She even Married him. "What's wrong?" She asked noticing his subtle change in expression. She had learned to see those changes of expression that resulted in his change of mood.
"Oh just thinking." Izuku replied and Momo shook her head.
"No it is more then just that." Momo stood and gently pulled at him. "We are going to have a little private time, we will be right back." She said to their friends as she led Izuku away from the Festivities and towards where there were not too many Celebrators around. Once there she stopped and turned to face him, still holding his hand. "Okay what's wrong and don't give me that it is nothing?" She stated and Izuku swallowed heavily, lowering his gaze towards the ground.
"I am still completely confused on why you want to be with me. The only possible reason would be that we are both from the same World. Other then that...there is no logical reason why." Izuku said and Momo rolled her eyes.
"That is not the reason Izuku I want to be with you. Sure we are from the same World, so what. That does not even matter does it?" Momo asked moving closer, so that she was mere inches from touching her nose against his. "Well does it?" He shook his head.
"No not really." Izuku replied thinking about the several others that had tried to get with her. All those that Momo could easily be with. Most were far better looking and actually better suited to be with her.
"Exactly. I want to be with you because...well when we first met back at UA, I came to respect your dedication. That respect turned to admiration and then later...later I sort of.." Momo blushed and reached up with her left hand caressing his face tenderly. "Come to really like you...a lot and I hope you feel the same about me. You did a few days ago tell me that you loved me...so do you or not?" She asked him and Izuku nodded.
"Yes I love you." Izuku said softly and Momo tilted her head, lightly kissing him.
"Good because I love you too. Now we can either go back and rejoin our friends or..." Momo glanced in the direction that their home was. "Or we can go back to the Cottage and perhaps...we could...you know...we are Married...so we could..." She felt embarrassed and she had no idea why. She had blankly stated the fact that she believed that soon they would have sex. She even initiated a session where he felt her up. But now she just could not say it outright again. Not without feeling utterly embarrassed. She noticed how pale he had become, knowing exactly what she was hinting at. She stroked his cheek again. "I want to Izuku...I really want to." She whispered to him and he closed his eyes, then nodded. That was all the consent she needed. Pulling away and turning. She quickly walked him out of the City and to their Cottage. Hurrying before he had a chance to change his mind. Back at the Table.
"I don't think they are coming back." The Priestess said blushing slightly and the Elf laughed.
"Nope they won't be back anytime soon. So who's up to another round?" The Elf asked and of course the Dwarf was.
Three days later:
With a deep satisfying sigh, Momo tightened her hold onto the sleeping form of her Husband Izuku and that was who he was now. He was her Husband not just because of the Marriage Ceremony or that they were considered Married by this World's Common Law. No she knew that now he was her Husband, because they were bonded thoroughly now. Nothing in their World or on this one could separate them. Though if they ever was able to return home someday, she suspected her Father would kill Izuku. Her Mother on the other hand would settle for just castration. She gazed fondly and lovely at him then smiled. "How is this even possible?" She whispered almost inaudibly. "How is it possible that I now love you more then I did before? Did having sex cause this or just solidify what I feel?" She actually did not really care, all she did know was that she loved him and planned to be with forever.
Awakening with a naked girl sprawled almost completely on top of you, makes it extremely hard to even want to get up. That was what Izuku faced as he felt almost all of Momo's body on top of him with her arms wrapped lightly around his neck. Even if he wanted to get up, which he didn't. She was not about to let him. Which he did not mind at all. So he was a complexity of conflicts. He wanted up so he could go train, but he did not want to really get up. Gazing at the still sleeping form of Momo Yaoyorozu who was now his consummated Wife. He could not help but feel giddy. Then a thought came to him and he felt guilty and somewhat afraid. "Oh Fabberbisket...My Mom is going to flip out and probably have a meltdown." He whispered.
When someone knocked on the door, Momo raised her head slightly. "GO AWAY!" She said loudly towards the door and whoever was knocking on their door. She looked to see that Izuku had also awoken or had been awake. She shook her head. "Don't even think about getting up yet. We are not leaving this bed until I say so." She told him sternly and whoever it was that had knocked must have gotten a clue to what was transpiring within. They departed without knocking again.
Outside the Priestess and the Elf had come to check on them since they had departed early during the Festival and had not returned. Though the Elf had told her younger friend that it was more then likely they would not see them again for at least another day or so. If they were doing what she suspected that they were doing. Turning they both started to walk away right after they heard Momo yell at them to go away. "All I can say it is about time they..." The Elf said wiggling her ears and watched as her friend blushed a deep shade of red. As they walked she decided that she needed to clarify something from yesterday. She had fuzzy memories from a certain point last night and since it was just them with no one else around would be a perfect time to find out if what she did remember was true or not. "Uhm...last night...tell me something...that girl that got up on the table and started to do...a striptease...that was..." Her friend smiled broadly.
"You. Don't worry I stopped you before you pulled off anything too revealing." The Priestess said giving a short giggle no longer blushing as she watched her Elf Friend blush even a brighter shade of red then she had.
"I knew I drank too much." The Elf whispered. "Thanks my Friend for not letting me make a complete ass out of myself." She continued to blush at the hazy memory of herself getting up on the Table and began to remove clothing. It would have been a height of degrading if her friend had not stopped her.
"I always thought High Elves were more dignified then that." The Priestess said smiling and her Friend twitched her ears, blushing even more.
"Well we generally try to be. That will teach me to let that Dwarf goad me into a drinking contest again." The Elf said silently swearing off drinking for awhile, perhaps ever. They neared the City exterior and both decided to return to their shared Apartment. The effects of yesterday and last night still lingered within them. The real reason they had gone to check on Momo was to ask her to create them something called Aspirin. Last time the Elf had a headache, the young Woman had given her two of the mysterious pills and within an hour the discomfort was gone. She was hoping that it would have the same effect on hangovers. Now though without the pill, the two of them would have to resort to just taking a nap and hope that the pain in their heads would go away.
Home World: 5 Months Plus
Inko Midoriya poured tea into her visitors teacups. Four of her son's Classmates had come to visit her. Though these were not the same four that had come last week. These were, Mina Ashido, Mezo Shoji, Fumikare Tokoyama and Kyoka Jiro. Last week there were only three of them she had not originally known before. Katsuki Bakugo had come with Eijiro Kirishima, Tenya Iida and Ochaco Uraraka. Before that were Shoto Todoroki, Toru Hagakure, Tsuyu Asui and Rikido Sato. She did not mind them coming. For they would tell her stories about her Son that she had not really known. Though Katsuki had come almost every week before then to check on her. To make sure she was sleeping and eating. He did ask rather in his forceful way to not tell any of the others he had been doing that for the past 4 months. Claiming that if the others found out, they would think that he was weak. So she promised not to say a word. At some point during the visit, she asked to speak with the two Girls alone. Since the one called Toru Hagakure had told her last week that both Mina Ashido and especially Kyoka Jiro were closest to Momo Yaoyorozu. She had a few personal questions she wanted to know and she doubted the Girl that was with her son Mother would know. Once alone, she turned towards the two Girls. "What type of Girl is Momo Yaoyorozu? Does...does she like my Son? Should I be worried that they might...that they might...when they come back...would they be..close?" She asked them and the two Girls told her all they knew about their friend. Then the one called Kyoka Jiro fidgeted with her right jack lobe. Twisting it around her index finger, anxiously.
"Uhm well...as to her liking Midoriya." Kyoka looked over at Mina who shrugged. "There has been a couple of times that she mentioned to us that she...sort of liked him."
"She really respected and admired him a lot. As did all of us." Mina quickly added and then decided to just tell. She had been trying with Kyoka for weeks before Momo and Izuku had disappeared to get their friend to pursue him. "I guess it would be alright to tell you that she does have a...a crush on him. So as to be worried...I really do not know how to answer that." The pink girl said then noticed Kyoka was really twisting her Earjack in frustration. "Oh come on Kyoka...you and I know that by now Momo probably is with him. We both know if we were in the same situation and was whisked away with him. It would be the same for either one of us." Inko looked at her strangely.
"Mina sometimes is a little too..okay she is a complete weirdo. But what she said was true in a way. From what I know and have heard, all of us Girls in his Class...sort of have a Crush on him." That was something that Inko really did not want to know.
"Hey! I am not a weirdo...I am spunky and cheerful." Mina protested and Inko chuckled.
"So all of you liked my Son. I actually find comfort in that. I also find Comfort in that he had or has so many friends. Before going to UA, he really did not have any friends. He would tell me why, but I think it had to do with that he had been diagnosed Quirkless. No one knew that he was just a late bloomer." Inko said.
"I wish I had known that sooner. That he did not have any friends before coming to UA. For starters I would have made sure to be his friend right from the start." Mina stated and Kyoka quickly said the same. "Now I would not worry too much about Momo. She is a really nice and wonderful person." She old his Mother and Inko smiled.
"I am just hoping that when they come back they have not made me a Grandmother. I am far too young to be one of those yet." Inko declared and the two younger Girls laughed.
The Guild:
Arriving on the second day after the Winter Solstice Festival, Momo headed for their friends while Izuku went to check the Quest Board. Unlike Goblin Slayer, he was looking for any type of Quest that he and his Wife could handle. Alone or with the others, if they wanted to come along that is. Checking the Quests, he ignored the ones that involved going into the Sewers to kill off the huge Rats and Bugs. For one those were utterly disgusting. Today though most of the other Quests were not very appealing so he went over to join Momo, who was chatting with the Elf and the Priestess. "Anything there?" Momo asked and Izuku shook his head.
"Nope." Izuku sat down next to her and Momo immediately leaned herself against him, clasping his left hand in her right. "So what are the rest of you going to do today?" He asked them and the Dwarf picked up his Mug, hoisting it high.
"Perhaps today would be a good day to check in with Sir Goblin Slayer at the Farm. The last time I saw him, he something about rechecking the surrounding Woods for any signs of Goblins." The Lizard Priest suggested.
"Sure why not. It would be better then sitting around and watching Barrel Belly there eat and drink himself into a stupor." The Elf said with a small smile and the Dwarf frowned over at her.
"You are just jealous long ears that I can hold my booze, while you got so intoxicated you tried to do a striptease." The Dwarf countered back to her and the Elf gave a loud laugh.
"Like anyone would want to see you strip." The Elf stated back then stood. "Shall we go. For I am more then willing to remain to pass the time waiting for him to think of a good comeback." She added and the Dwarf chuckled. Standing as well. They all stood and followed the two out of the Guild Hall. It did not take more then half an hour to reach the Farm, once there they found out that Goblin Slayer had left earlier that morning to check the Woods to the West. So with the Elf in the lead, following his trail, they made their way only pausing at a mid sized opening.
"This is where me and Goblin Slayer confronted the Goblin Lord." The Priestess informed them. Stopping at the exact spot where she had encased the Goblin within two of her Protective Spells. Caging him in. "Here is also where I almost allowed myself to have pity on him. I almost listened to his pleas and was about to have mercy on him. I was tempted to release him." She lowered her gaze to the ground. Then gave out a shuddering breath. "Then I remembered what the Goblins had done to my first Party and then what they did to us at Watertown. I lost all pity for him and did not even protest when Goblin Slayer killed him." The Elf placed a reassuring left hand on her right shoulder.
"Any of us would feel the same as you did. From what we have all faced with dealing with Goblins. They do not deserve pity or mercy. If they showed pity and mercy then only then would they should be granted both." The Elf told her, thinking about when she had first gone on a Quest with Goblin Slayer. Where they found that poor Elf Woman that the Goblins had tortured and raped repeatedly. That the Goblins were truly Evil and should be eradicated. After another moment for the Priestess to compose herself, they moved on to locate Goblin Slayer.
To be continued.
