Boku no Hero Academia:Izuku's Harem Academia
Disclaimer: This is a mature-rated fanfiction story of Boku no Hero Academia that I am writing for erotic fun. Needless to say, this story is AU, the characters may seem OOC to some and there will be smutty lemons. Also, I own nothing of the series other than the fanfiction stories that I make.
Chapter 19: Unexpected Visitors and Chain of Events
Fuun, who was currently in the form of a black cat, was pressing her back against the wall of a vent with a comically terrified expression on her face. Eri, who was currently a white kitten and was equally terrified, was hugging Fuun for dear life.
A few minutes ago, Fuun and Eri sneaked into the high school with the intention of secretly meeting Nedzu for witness protection. Considering that the Shie Hassaikai yakuza group was currently after them, sneaking into the building seemed to be a safer option at the time. However, neither of them expected cat-sized robots with slightly-flattened pear-shaped bodies and tentacles for limbs crawling about in the vents. While most of the robots were grey in colour with green eyes, there was one which was black in colour and had red eyes. Both Fuun and Eri were especially terrified of the red-eyed one which seemed to be smarter than the rest.
"S-since when did U.A. High School started using freakish killer robots as security?!" thought Fuun.
Suddenly, Eri saw one of the green-eyed robots and mewed in alarm.
Realising that they had been discovered, Fuun quickly grabbed hold of Eri with her mouth and ran deeper into the vents with the hope of losing the robot which was chasing after them while loudly calling out to its brethren. The robot's glaring expression and the deep blaring sounds that it made caused chills to run down Fuun and Eri's spines…
--Meanwhile…--
Mei, who was properly dressed after surprising Izuku by being dressed in only her underwear, was looking at a message on her smart phone. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Huh, it looks like a cat and its kitten managed to sneak into the vents of the school."
"Are the MSBs pursuing them?" asked Melissa.
"Yep," confirmed Mei.
"You're going to let them continue chasing after them, aren't you?" asked Melissa.
"Of course. We already know one villainess who can transform other people into animals. Who's to say she can't change herself into one and try to sneak in," said Mei.
Melissa took a moment to think about Mei's statement and then said, "I suppose you have a point. However, I'll let Nedzu-sensei know about this so that the MSBs don't accidentally cause any panic in the school. Also, kindly remind them not to harm the cat and its kitten."
Mei grinned at Melissa as she gave her a thumbs up and said, "No problem!"
While Melissa and Mei were having their discussion, Izuku and the rest of the girls from Dorm 1A were getting ready to watch a pre-quirk movie called 'Aliens' in the common living area. Yes, snacks, blankets and pillows were included.
--Back to Fuun and Eri…--
The green-eyed robot which was chasing after Fuun and Eri suddenly stopped while the optic fibres on its antennae started to flash brightly as it received instructions from its creator, Hatsume Mei. Upon receiving the instructions, it blared like a beast on the hunt before it resumed chasing after the two "cats".
Fuun was about to turn a corner when another tentacled green-eyed robot appeared in front of her and Eri. Realising that she was cornered, she decided to take a risk and charged towards the second robot with her claws bared. Eri, who realised that Fuun was charging towards the robot, closed her eyes timidly and curled up into a ball.
Sensing Eri's fear, Fuun's eyes burned with determination as she clawed at the second robot with all her might while thinking, "Plus Ultra!"
Due to the need to be small and lightweight, the MSBs were made mostly of plastic, synthetic rubber, pneumatics and fibre-optics. Although surprisingly strong and durable, their soft tentacles could be damaged to the point that their pneumatic systems and fibre-optics were compromised, thus rendering them useless. Fuun, who was used to moving about as a cat, was able to damage the tentacles on the second robot before it would restrain her. She then ran over the partially-disabled robot and left the two robots behind as she continued running.
Eri, who had closed her eyes while Fuun attacked the robot, opened one eye and realised that they had somehow managed to escape from the two terrifying robots. She looked up at Fuun's currently-feline face and her eyes shone with wonder not unlike a child who had finally met her hero.
--Back to Melissa and Mei…--
Izuku and the girls of Dorm 1A were relaxing while watching the movie. Izuku was seated in the middle with Ochako hugging his right arm and Tsuyu hugging his left arm. Shouko, who was seated behind Izuku, hugged him from behind while Mina, who had already watched the movie many times before, took the opportunity to simply relax while seated between his legs. Melissa was seated between Mei and Ochako while Himiko was seated between Tsuyu and Tooru. Momo was seated on Shouko's right side while Kyouka was seated on Shouko's left side. Mina had a cheeky grin on her face while leaning her body against Izuku who was blushing as he could feel Shouko, Ochako and Tsuyu's soft breasts pressing against his body. He could even feel Mina's soft buttocks pressing against his member.
Since Izuku and the girls of Dorm 1A were watching the movie in the common living area which had a television set, the boys of Class 1A could see what they were doing. Minoru, Hanta and Sero glared at Izuku enviously and were tempted to strangle him on the spot but they knew better than to attack him in the presence of his harem. Others, such as Eijirou, Fumikage, Yuuga and Rikidou decided to watch the movie with them. Both Yuuga and Rikidou brought their own snacks which were cheese and cookies and shared them with the others. Kouji thought about watching the movie with them and his pet rabbit, Yuwai-chan, but he decided not to watch it after seeing the first "chestburster" scene in the movie. Mina promised to get a more family-friendly movie so that Kouji could watch it with them later. Tenya, Mashirao, Mezou and Katsuki wanted to do some light training or studying to pass time instead of watching a movie so they were not present in the common living area. Besides, three of the four boys could not help but feel awkward seeing the girls being so affectionate towards Izuku and Katsuki honestly did not care about watching a movie with the others.
While everyone was watching the movie, Mei felt her phone vibrate. Curious, she took out her phone and looked at the message for less than a minute before she suddenly yelled, "Seriously!?"
Surprised by the yell, everyone in the common living area turned their attention towards her with confused and worried expressions on their faces. Izuku then asked, "What's wrong, Mei-chan?"
"That cat actually damaged one of my MSB babies!" yelled Mei.
"Really? How?" asked Melissa.
Mei showed everyone the message which was a short video recording and said, "Take a look!"
Everyone, including the 'jealous trio', watched the short recording which showed a black cat with purple eyes carrying a white kitten with red eyes in its mouth. Their eyes widened in surprise and amazement when the cat suddenly attacked an MSB robot with surprising skill and actually disabled some of its tentacles before escaping.
Izuku had a thoughtful expression on his face and spoke his thoughts aloud, "The black cat actually managed to disable an MSB without letting go of the kitten. Either the cat is very skilled at fighting or it has a quirk which enhances its speed and reflexes or its intellect. There is also the possibility of the cat actually being a person with a transformation quirk but considering the fact that it is so protective of the kitten, the chances is probably not that likely unless…"
Shouko's eyes narrowed as she thought of something, "Wait a minute… Mei-chan, can you replay the video and pause it? I want to have a better look at that black cat's eyes."
"Sure. Give me a second," replied Mei.
Once Mei paused the video to show an image of the black cat, Shouko stared at the image for a few seconds before she said, "Everyone, don't panic. I think that black cat is actually the villainess who turned me into a girl."
Everyone was surprised by Shouko's statement and Izuku asked her, "Are you sure?"
Shouko nodded and replied, "I recognise those cat-eyes anywhere."
"But why would she come here, with a kitten no less?" asked Ochako.
"Is that kitten even a real kitten, kero?" asked Tsuyu.
Izuku quickly turned his attention to Melissa and said, "Melissa-chan, please contact Nedzu-sensei and tell him we might have a situation here."
Melissa nodded and was about to make a phone call when everyone in the common bedroom received a message from Nedzu saying, "Do not worry, everyone. I am already aware of the situation and I am quite certain that the villainess and her charge are not here for malicious intent. That said, please have Hatsume-kun guide them to my office. We will be waiting for their arrival there. Also, please keep the MSBs out of my office. I'd rather not have anyone overhear or see anything unnecessary."
After reading the message, Himiko asked, "Am I the only one who's getting a weird sense of deja-vu?"
"You're not the only one," replied Izuku who recalled how Himiko was captured before she became a part of his harem.
Mei grinned manically as she took out a visor from seemingly nowhere and said, "No one messes with my cute babies and gets away with it! It's time to assume direct control!"
The movie was quickly forgotten as everyone paid attention to Mei who was going to drive the two "intruders" to Nedzu's office…
--Back to Fuun and Eri…--
Fuun and Eri were busy running away when they suddenly encountered the red-eyed robot which spoke to them, "My name is Hatsume Mei. I am the creator of these cute babies and you have damaged one of them. Prepare to meet your doom!"
Suddenly, green-eyed counterparts of the robot appeared around Fuun and Eri, blocking nearly all means of escape. Realising that they were trapped, they ran in the direction which was not blocked by the robots.
Mei laughed maniacally through the red-eyed robot as she commanded the rest, "Go, my cute babies! Make your mama proud!"
--Back to Mei and the others…--
Everyone in the common living area, including Himiko, stared at Mei who was laughing like a "Saturday morning cartoon evil genius" with worried expressions on their faces.
"Am I the only one who's worried about Hatsume-chan creating an army of robots to take over the world?" asked Denki.
"No, you're not," said Minoru.
"It seems that Hatsume-chan's dazzlingly brilliant mind hides an unfettered mind," said Yuuga.
"A mind that is a well of darkness," agreed Fumikage.
"She's not that bad," said Izuku who was trying to defend her.
"Deku-baby, she's behaving so much like one of those mad genius types that even I'm worried about what she'll create next," said Himiko who had a deadpan expression on her face.
"She has always been obsessed about creating crazy inventions that somehow work," said Melissa while Momo, who was responsible for helping Mei and Melissa by creating the necessary materials for them, nodded in agreement with her.
"Like that time when she wanted to test my ability to bend light by pointing an actual laser gun at me," said Tooru who shuddered at the mere memory of the incident.
"And the time when she created an actual tape dispenser weapon which was supposed to lighten the burden on my quirk only to end up being too damned heavy for me to even carry around," said Hanta who could still recall his comically futile struggle with the heavy "support equipment"
"Not to mention she tends to forget basic self-care like bathing, eating and even sleeping when she gets too engrossed with her work," said Rikidou who recalled seeing a filthy Mei raiding the fridge one night while after building an invention for a whole day without stopping to eat or rest.
"She actually asked me if I could create raw plutonium for her so that she could create 'improved batteries' for her babies," said Momo who, understandably, refused to create the radioactive material even after Mei assured her that she would get the necessary safety gear first.
"To be fair, some of her ideas are actually pretty bad-ass," said Kyouka who recalled the time when Mei created a blade which had a socket for her ear-jacks at the hilt and was supposed to be a vibrating weapon that could cut anything. Although the blade quickly degraded and fell apart, explosively at that, it was able to cut through solid steel as though it was butter.
"She has a lot of good ideas. However, she has even more crazy ideas which include most of her good ideas," said Shouko who recalled Mei trying to create a support item that would allow her to focus both her fire and her ice to form a single spiralling beam onto a singular target. Although the idea of creating a super move based on thermal shock is certainly appealing, especially when facing tougher opponents, Shouko knew that carrying around what was basically a massive cone made of resistant metal was impractical at best.
"You guys do realise that I can hear you all, right?" asked Mei. Although she did not mind hearing people talk about her crazy awesomeness, she wanted to let them know that she could hear them just fine even with the visor covering both her eyes and her ears. Besides, thanks to her mental link to the rest of Izuku's harem through Sumomo, she knew what they were thinking about such as Tsuyu's memory of her trying to fit an actual electric heater onto the back of her hero-suit. Also, their comments were becoming rather distracting and she wanted to focus her full attention on commanding her MSBs.
"Yes, we know," said nearly everyone in the room while Izuku chuckled sheepishly.
--At Nedzu's office…--
"So, what are the intruders' ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival)?" asked Shouta. He had an annoyed expression as he was supposed to be making arrangements for the upcoming Provisional Hero Licence exams after exposing Mizuki as the traitor but ended up having to stay in Nedzu's office to deal with the two intruders instead. Nemuri was also present in the office in case she was needed to knock out the two intruders while Toshinori left for his own safety due to being retired and essentially quirkless.
Nedzu smiled while drinking his tea and said, "Unless something unexpected happens, they should be arriving right about…" A loud yowl could be heard before a black cat with purple eyes and a white kitten with red eyes burst out of a hidden vent in Nedzu's office and landed right in front of the three pro-heroes. Amused by the two cats' comically dishevelled states, the mouse-like principal concluded, "-now."
Shouta stepped forward with his capture weapon ready and said, "Juusan Fuun, I trust that you have a very good reason to come here of all places."
Realising that she had been cornered, Fuun glared at the three pro-heroes before she resigned herself to her fate and undid her transformation.
Nedzu, Shouta and Nemuri widened her eyes in surprise when they saw the white kitten transform into a small girl with red eyes and a single horn on the right side of her forehead. Fuun hugged the obviously terrified girl in her arms with a grim expression on her face as she spoke to Shouta, "Believe me, I have a damned good reason to come here…"
--One explanation later…--
Nedzu, Shouta and Nemuri sat down and sighed in unison after hearing Fuun's reason for seeking their help in spite of being a villainess. The said villainess was hugging Eri protectively in her arms while the little girl had settled down enough to be willing to accept a few snacks from Nedzu.
"This day just keeps getting better and better…!" groaned Shouta who was obviously being sarcastic.
"We need to inform Sir Nighteye about this. He's been investigating the… yakuza group for a while already," said Nemuri who was unwilling to bring up the name of the group in front of Eri who had obviously been treated horribly by them.
"We also need to protect both girls from further harm," said Nedzu who then added, "However, as much as I hate to admit it, U.A. High School may not be ready for another attack by a villainous group. Key members of the League of Villains are still at large and the chances of them becoming allies with the yakuza group will be very high once they realise that we have Eri under our protection."
"Which means that the best way to protect Eri and Fuun is to keep them a secret from the general public, the students of this school and probably even the teachers," said Shouta who was rubbing his forehead while grumbling, "As if we don't have enough issues as it is!"
"While this is certainly a problem, it might be an opportunity for us as well. After all, it is clear that the yakuza group still needs Eri so keeping her away from them is in out best interest as pro-heroes regardless," said Nedzu.
"Of course it is. We're talking about a bunch of sick bastards who's making quirk-destroying bullets out of her," said Fuun. While Fuun and Eri were still on the run on the day before, the former was able to find out from the latter that Kai was using the little girl's flesh and blood to create a weapon that would purge a person of his "cursed disease". The said "cursed disease" turned out to be quirks in general.
"So how are we going to take action against the yakuza group while keeping these two hidden?" asked Nemuri.
Nedzu took a few minutes to think of a plan and then smiled with a sharp glint in his eyes as he replied, "I have a plan…!"
--A short while later…--
Rikiya frowned deeply as he spoke to Nedzu on the phone, "Are you absolutely sure that the Shie Hassaikai is responsible for creating the quirk-destroying drug that has been rumoured to be in circulation lately?"
"Yes, I can say with absolute certainty that they are the ones creating the drug," said Nedzu who then added, "I can also confidently say that they probably plan to use the drug to enforce control over not only the general population but even the heroes and villains. If they succeed in improving and mass-producing the weapon…"
"Then they will create a world which will arguably be even more oppressive than the current one," said Rikiya who knew what had to be done as he continued to speak to Nedzu, "Very well, you have my support in stopping the Shie Hassaikai. While I'm quite certain that the Meta Liberation Army will unanimously agree to stop them, varying reasons notwithstanding, I highly doubt that we can take any overt actions against them. We're supposed to be still in hiding after all."
"That is fine with me. Just make sure that your members who are pro-heroes are ready to assist us when the time comes to take them down. Of course, I expect them to be trustworthy enough to do their jobs in helping people and stopping villains properly," said Nedzu.
"You have my word that they will help you. We will also provide you with any information that we can get from our contacts with the underground. Given how agitated the Shie Hassaikai has been lately, it shouldn't be too difficult to find someone with loose lips among them," said Rikiya.
"Thank you for your offer of assistance. This might help pave the way for our two sides to find common ground and resolve our respective differences peacefully," said Nedzu.
"I certainly hope so," said Rikiya who made a mental note to contact Chitose, Miyashita and Tatsuyuki as soon as possible.
--At Nighteye Agency…--
Mirai frowned as he spoke to Mirio who was speaking to him through the phone, "So you're saying that Nedzu has gotten some new information about the Shie Hassaikai and wants you to be the middle man between him and myself, correct?"
"That's correct," replied Mirio.
"Is there any reason why he can't just speak to me directly?" asked Mirai.
"There are a few reasons actually. That's why I'll be visiting your agency tomorrow to tell you everything," said Mirio who had an unmistakably serious tone on his voice.
Realising that the situation was even more serious than he had expected, Mirai said, "Very well. I expect you to tell me everything."
--At Dorm 1A…--
Shouta sighed as he spoke to the students of Dorm 1A, "The two cats are just ordinary stray cats which tried to sneak into the school building. As such, I expect you all to not blow this incident out of proportion and claim that they are villainous intruders. U.A. High School's reputation as a safe place for learning is already hanging by a thread as it is and I do not want any of you to make it any worse. If I even hear a word about this from any of you, I'll be expelling you on the spot."
With the exception of Izuku, the boys from Class 1A were not aware of Nedzu's conversation with Fuun due to his earlier request to keep the MSBs away from his office. Although the boys were convinced that the two cats were not normal stray cats, they knew better than to risk expulsion by Shouta. Besides, they were sure that Nedzu would let them know if he felt that they needed to know about something important.
As for Izuku and his harem, they already knew about Fuun and Eri thanks to their shared mental link with Nemuri through Sumomo. They also understood the need to keep the two a secret from the rest of the school.
Speaking of keeping Fuun and Eri a secret, Nemuri made secret arrangements to have them stay in the harem's usual meeting place in the school building. Hopefully, the two would not need to stay there for too long but no one could tell what would happen next. Both Mei and Melissa decided to accelerate their plans to create advanced versions of the MSB which would house heavier equipment including actual capture weapons. That way, the school's security would be improved further which equated to better protection for both Eri and Fuun. Nedzu had already given them his approval to proceed through a message on their phones.
Unable to fully enjoy the movie due to what they had learnt about Eri and Fuun, Izuku and his harem decided to call it a day and "get some rest" earlier than expected. Although the boys knew that something was up, including Minoru who realised that Izuku and the girls of Dorm 1A were not being horny, they decided not to badger them for answers. They all took Shouta's threat seriously after all.
--In the common bedroom of Dorm 1A…--
Izuku frowned as he mentally spoke to his entire harem through Sumomo, "All right, what do we know about the Shie Hassaikai and Overhaul?"
"Long story short, the Shie Hassaikai is one of the surviving yakuza groups in Japan and Overhaul is their leader. Apparently, Overhaul has the ability to completely dismantle and reassemble anything that he touches including living people," explained Nemuri who had already taken Fuun and Eri to the room. As for how Nemuri was able to do so without anyone noticing, Fuun and Eri transformed into rats and hid in her hair. She was also amused by Fuun's blush after she realised that the recent rumours of a boy from the hero course having a large harem turned out to be true while Eri was innocently clueless.
"What about Eri's quirk? We know that the Shie Hassaikai needs her quirk factor to create the quirk-destroying weapon but we still have no idea what it is," said Shouko.
"If what Eri has said about her quirk making people and animals disappear is true, then we can assume that it probably has something to do with making living things disappear somehow," said Izuku.
"Which means that Overhaul is using some twisted extract of her quirk to make a person's quirk basically disappear," said Momo.
"That sounds about right," agreed Melissa who was appalled by the idea of using a young child's flesh and blood to create a weapon.
Nemuri then said, "Nedzu has already contacted Mirio who will then get in touch with Sir Nighteye."
"Is there anything we can do to help?" asked Izuku.
Nemuri mentally chuckled as she replied, "There's no need for you kids to put your own lives in danger. Leave this one to the pros. We will take those heartless bastards down before you know it."
"All right, but we will do what we can to help once we get out provisional hero licences," said Izuku.
"You sound pretty certain about getting the licence," said Nemuri.
"That's because we can't afford to sit back and do nothing. We're supposed to be heroes and that means doing what we can to help others no matter how small our contributions are," said Izuku whose eyes shone with determination. The rest of his harem who were students, even former villainesses such as Sumomo and Himiko, shared his sentiment.
"Then I suggest that you kids give it your all to pass the licence exams," said Nemuri who honestly felt proud of them.
--The following day…--
Mirai's frown deepened as she spoke to Mirio, "So, to put a long story short, the source of the rumoured quirk-destroying weapon is a little girl named Eri who has an unidentified quirk that makes living things disappear and used to be, for a lack of a better term, a tortured captive of the Shie Hassaikai yakuza group. Not only that, but the person who saved her was none other than Fuun, the villainess responsible for turning Endervour's youngest child into a girl thus unintentionally causing a massive scandal in the pro-hero community which the mass media is still obsessing about. As of now, both Eri and Fuun are kept hidden in U.A. High School and not even the majority of the staff there are aware of them."
"Yeah, that about sums it up," replied Mirio who frowned at the mere memory of a little girl being torn apart so that her flesh and blood could be extracted to create a terrible weapon.
A moment of tense silence passed before Mirai sighed while rubbing the bridge of his nose and said, "This situation is so ridiculous that I don't think even my own quirk would fully convince me that it was going to happen somehow." Considering that Mirai's quirk allowed him to see a person's future from a third person's perspective with 100% accuracy, his statement was undeniable proof of his current state of aggravation.
"To be fair, I'd rather have this insane situation happening over letting the Shie Hassaikai continue hurting her," said Mirio whose frown deepened as he added, "That girl's arms were covered in scars and the way she held onto Fuun tells me that she's the very first person who has shown any genuine kindness to her in a long while."
Mirai silently agreed with Mirio's statement as he spoke to him, "I want you to tell Nedzu that I plan to put an end to the Shie Hassaikai. Even if their primary source of the weapon has been taken away from them, there is no guarantee that they won't find another way to make it even if we manage to keep Eri away from them. However, I will need sufficient evidence to justify the offensive and to gather more pro-heroes to help us. Knowing Nedzu, he has probably compiled everything I need even as we speak."
"I will let Nedzu-sensei know as soon as I return to the dorms tonight," said Mirio.
--Meanwhile…--
"Are you absolutely sure that we can trust Nedzu?" asked Chitose.
"Considering what we have recently learnt from our sources in the black market, never mind the recent activity from the Shie Hassaikai, I believe that Nedzu's information can be trusted," said Rikiya.
"To think that someone would actually do something so horrible to such a young child for personal gain…" said Miyashita.
"It's not that different from how certain groups of quirkless people used to mistreat people who had quirks back in early days," said Tatsuyuki. As a prominent member of the Meta Liberation Army, he knew about the horrors that people with quirks had to endure in the past before they became the majority of the human population. Few atrocities were as horrific as actual human experimentation for the sake of cruel scientific curiosity or heartless exploitation.
Miyashita frowned as he could not deny the truth in Tatsuyuki's statement. As much as he hated to admit it, even he could not blame the Meta Liberation Army for despising the people who had mistreated them just because they were born different. However, he had to argue, "While I cannot dispute the claim, it does not justify mistreating people who are quirkless or choose to live their lives without using their quirks."
Tatsuyuki raised an eyebrow and said, "You do realise that you're getting off topic here, right? We are discussing about dealing with a yakuza boss who thinks that he can play god with peoples' quirks, not quirk-related ethics." Although a loyal member of the Meta Liberation Army, he was also a pro-hero who wanted to create what he believed to be a better world.
"My apologies. I just can't bring myself to keep quiet about quirk discrimination even if the victims have changed over the generations," admitted Miyashita.
Rikiya cleared his throat to get everyone's attention before he spoke to them, "Back to the matter at hand, I promised Nedzu to send our agents who are pro-heroes to assist in taking down the Shie Hassaikai. If all goes well, doing so will help to make things easier when we try to resolve things peacefully with the leaders of current society."
"I assume that I'll be one of your representatives for the upcoming attack?" asked Tatsuyuki.
"That's correct, Tokoname-kun," said Rikiya who then added, "I also wish to have Kizuki involved in the attack. Needless to say, she won't be involved in the fight directly to avoid unnecessary suspicion but any amount of good publicity will benefit the Meta Liberation Army."
"I will make sure to write down the best article people can get about the upcoming attack," said Chitose.
"What if the attack fails or gets a lot of bad publicity?" asked Miyashita.
Rikiya smiled in spite of Miyashita's critical question and said, "Then we will just have to minimize the damage just like every other publisher that support pro-heroes would do."
Miyashita sighed and said, "I suppose I should expect that much."
"So, when will the attack take place?" asked Tatsuyuki.
"Given the severity of the issue, I'd expect the attack to take place in a week's time at most," said Rikiya. Although Rikiya preferred to have the matter settled quickly, even he understood the need to be cautious as they would be attacking the enemy in their own home turf.
--Elsewhere, in a certain "meeting room"…--
"So, you're the infamous Harem King of the school," said Fuun who was surprised that the said Harem King was Midoriya Izuku. Make no mistake, she knew about the boy's deeds during both the sports festival and summer camp but he seemed a lot more plain-looking than she had expected. She also heard rumours about a boy who had a huge harem in the school but she never took the rumours seriously until she realised that she and Eri would be hiding in his, as Nemuri had helpfully described it, "personal meeting room".
Izuku, who was currently in the room with the girls of Dorm 1A, the girls of Class 1B and Nemuri, chuckled sheepishly and replied, "Yeah, that's me."
Eri looked at Izuku curiously and said, "How did you get so many girls to like you?" When she innocently asked Fuun what a Harem King was the day before, the older girl simply explained to her that a Harem King was someone whom a lot of girls liked very much.
Izuku was at a loss for words while Tsuyu, who knew how to talk to younger children due to past experience as an older sister, explained, "Izu-chan's a very kind and strong person who works hard to be a great hero, kero."
Tsuyu's honest statement spurred the other girls to speak as Ochako nodded with a smile and said, "He's willing to put himself in danger to help and protect others. In fact, he broke his arm and legs to save me from a giant robot during the entrance exams."
"He's also always willing to help and comfort others," said Tooru who recalled how he comforted her before she had sex with him for the first time.
"He's the reason why I started accepting my fire as a part of myself instead of another person who had hurt me in the past," said Shouko who had a soft smile on her face. Fuun raised her eyebrows as she realised that Shouko was referring to her match with Izuku during the sports festival when she was still a boy.
"He also saved my father back on I-Island," said Melissa.
"He's actually willing to accept me even though I was a villain whom most people would rather imprison in Tartarus for life," said Himiko.
"In spite of his painful past, he never gave in to the temptations of evil," said Ibara who recalled what she saw in his memories.
"He's also a pretty chill dude to hang around with overall," said Kyouka.
"Plus, he's a cute beefcake who's pretty fun to tease," said Mina who had a cheeky grin on her face. Setsuna grinned as she nodded in agreement with Mina.
Fuun rubbed her chin thoughtfully and said, "Damn, if what you girls said about him is true, I can see why you like him so much. Still, how do you guys manage to make it work?"
Nemuri giggled and said, "Let's just say we have our ways and leave it at that."
"So, why are you guys here? I mean, I get that this a place for you all to meet after school but it's not like you guys can do anything much with us here," said Fuun.
"Why not?" asked Eri who looked at Fuun with a puzzled look on her face.
"I'll tell you when you're old enough," said Fuun.
"You should listen to her, kero," said Tsuyu who agreed with Fuun. Eri most certainly did not need to know the raunchier aspect of being in a harem.
"As for why we're here, we would like to get to know you two," said Setsuna who grinned cheerfully.
"Seriously?" asked Fuun who was sceptical as she added, "Eri's one thing but I'm a villainess you know."
"True, but you're a villainess who not only risked her own life to rescue Eri but even chose to surrender herself to the pro-heroes to keep her protected," said Momo.
Itsuka nodded and said, "Anyone who's willing to risk her life to save a young child can't be all bad."
"Who knows what kinds of horrors the poor girl would have to go through right now if you hadn't saved her from those vile people," said Reiko while Yui nodded in agreement with her.
"One's life should be seen through heaven's eyes and no one capable of genuine acts of kindness is truly beyond divine salvation," said Ibara.
"Also, as far as Eri is concerned, you're pretty much her heroine," said Izuku who wore a bright genuine smile.
Fuun's eyes widened as she sputtered, "S-stop saying such things about me! I-I'm bad luck! That's all my quirk is good for!" Memories of her past which she tried to bury beneath a mask of villainy came to light as she recalled her early life at an orphanage. For as long as she could remember, she had no family members and she was always overlooked by potential parents due to her quirk which was often described as villainous or witch-like. She was even bullied for it and was often punished for trying to defend herself while the bullies, especially the ones with "desirable quirks", were given lighter punishments if at all. In the end, she could not tolerate life at the orphanage and decided to be a villain who could do whatever she wanted in a society which ultimately did not care about her. In spite of her issues with society as a whole, she never forgot what it was like to be an innocent victim of cruelty which was part of the reason why she felt a need to protect Eri properly even if it meant putting herself back in prison. The little girl, who had suffered even more horribly than she had because of her own quirk, reminded her far too much of her past self.
Eri looked up at Fuun with a worried frown on her face as she asked her, "Fuun-oneechan?"
Fuun looked down as she bitterly spoke, "I… I'm just a low-ranked villainess who enjoys making people suffer bad luck and changing them into humiliating forms. I steal what I want from other people when I feel like it without giving a damn about them. I'm not a hero and I'll never be one to anyone."
"In case you haven't noticed, I'm a former villainess who used to be a mad psychopath with a REALLY twisted sense of what is normal. Trust me, whatever crimes you've done can't possibly be any worse than mine," argued Himiko.
"What matters most is not what your quirk can do but what you use your quirk for, shroom," said Kinoko who knew what it was like to be considered weird or even dangerous by others just because she could make her mushrooms grow in places where they shouldn't.
"Besides, you used your quirk to save Eri. Do you really think it's bad luck for her to be saved by you?" asked Izuku.
"Plus, the only reason why I'm even able to be with the boy whom I grew to love is because of you," said Shouko.
Fuun glanced at Shouko and replied, "I… didn't plan to turn you into a girl, you know." The pink-haired girl with grey skin then turned her attention to Eri and added, "Also, I only met Eri by accident."
"But you chose to help her and stay with her, didn't you?" asked Pony.
Although unable to deny the truth, Fuun argued, "It won't change the fact that I'll be sent to prison once everything is over. I did change the current No.1 Pro-Hero's son into a girl after all even though she ultimately chose to remain as one."
"Maybe so, but if this issue with that yakuza group is as big as we suspect it to be, Nedzu might be willing to offer you a place here instead," said Nemuri.
"What about Eri?" asked Fuun.
"She'll most likely stay here under our protection," answered Nemuri who then added, "And that alone would be a good reason to assume that Nedzu would allow you to stay here too."
"You seriously think that anyone here would allow a villain like me to actually help in looking after a kid?" asked Fuun who was obviously not convinced.
"You saved her when you didn't need to so you tell us," said Mina.
"If you were given a chance to not go to prison for your past crimes and stay with Eri instead, would you take it?" asked Reiko.
Fuun hesitated for a moment but when she looked at Eri's eyes, she sighed and admitted, "Yeah, I would. Like hell I'd let her face this shitty world alone."
Eri's eyes widened before she suddenly hugged Fuun tightly and rubbed her face against her side. Surprised by Eri's response, Fuun hesitated before she started petting the younger girl with a small smile on her lips.
Everyone smiled at the sight before Pony asked, "So, who's up for some cartoons?"
--A short while later…--
Fuun, who allowed Eri to sit on her lap, was eating some potato chips while watching an old pre-quirk cartoon show called 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'. Eri was engrossed with the cartoon so Fuun decided to ask Izuku, "So, how in the world did you end up with a harem?"
Izuku chuckled and replied, "It's a long story involving the League of Villains and almost dying in Summer Camp."
Fuun raised an eyebrow and asked, "And yet you're still okay with a former member of the league being in your harem? You must have balls of steel to even think about having her in the harem."
"It's… complicated," replied Izuku.
Like many people who did not know the full truth of the situation, Fuun knew about Himiko's agreement with the school to provide information about the League of Villains in exchange for being able to stay close with Izuku as a student on probation. She therefore decided to not ask for further details as she simply replied, "Yeah, that sound about right."
While everyone was watching the show and relaxing, Sumomo, who had to stay hidden from Fuun and Eri, had to ask, "So… is anyone even thinking about adding Fuun into the harem? Eri-chan's one thing but I think that Fuun will fit right in."
Izuku had to restrain himself from falling off his seat and landing onto the floor face-first as he mentally asked Sumomo, "Sumomo-chan, why would you even suggest such a thing? She's nothing to do with the League of Villains!"
Ochako almost pouted as she mentally spoke to Sumomo, "That's right! There are already so many girls in the harem!"
"True… but letting her join the harem will allow us to keep a closer eye on her and Eri-chan. The League of Villains may still be interested in Fuun and, if anything happens, I can help you guys to track her down at the very least," argued Sumomo.
Realising that Sumomo had made a good point, Momo mentally sighed as she spoke to the rest of the harem, "As much as I hate to say this, Sumomo-chan's got a point."
"We did promise to do what we can to help them after all, kero," said Tsuyu.
Izuku mentally sighed and said, "All right, but only if Nedzu-sensei…"
Suddenly, Izuku received a text from Nedzu which stated, "You can go ahead and invite Fuun to join the harem. Having a reliable means of monitoring her is vital for her and Eri's safety. As for Eri, she's allowed to know about Sumomo but do kindly make sure that she does not join the harem. She's too young after all."
Izuku's shoulders slumped as he already knew what was about to happen next.
--A short while later…--
Fuun was rubbing the bridge of her nose as she groaned, "This explains SO much about Midoriya's recent success with the ladies! Seriously, this is the kind of plot that you find in… in… adult entertainment!"
Nemuri giggled while Izuku grinned sheepishly replied, "To be fair, the Harem Plan not only allowed us to find the traitor among the teachers and Tooru-chan's tracker but also allowed us to help pro-heroes capture members from the League of Villains and even convert Himiko-chan to our side." Izuku, along with Nemuri and the girls from both Dorm 1A and Class 1B, were currently holding copies of Sumomo in their hands.
Eri, who took a while to get over her initial fright and caution after Izuku and his harem revealed Sumomo to both her and Fuun, became curious of the pink blobs which actually looked rather cute with their beady eyes which had eyelashes and cat-like mouths. She was sorely tempted to poke at the blobs while Fuun wore a deadpan expression on her face and asked, "And the pleasures of being in a harem has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with it? Even I've heard about the Harem King being extremely… good in the sack." Izuku, along with the girls of Dorm 1A and Class 1B, blushed as they could not deny Fuun's statement. The sex was enjoyable after all.
"Well… we'd be lying if we said that being… intimate with Deku wasn't good," admitted Ochako.
"But we also genuinely care for one another as more than just friends," said Mina.
"Even if you don't fully join the harem, Sumomo-chan will help us to keep a close eye on you two," said Nemuri.
Fuun was silent for a moment before she said, "All right. I'll join the harem on the condition that you all promise to help me keep Eri-chan happy and safe. I also want Eri-chan to stay out of the harem. She's way too young for this sort of thing."
"Those terms are agreeable," said Izuku who then asked Sumomo, "Sumomo-chan, do you want to combine and be whole again first? I mean, I know that you still have some of your copies elsewhere but I figured that you'd like to be at least mostly whole for a while."
Sumomo's copy in Izuku's arms nodded at him before she leapt off his hands. The other copies leapt off as well before fusing together to form a large ball of slime. Everyone in the room stared at the ball of slime as it started to compress itself and take on a more solid form until it took on a humanoid shape with red eyes, dark-pink "hair", arms which were obviously boneless and had large hands and a slug-like foot instead of human legs. The slime-girl looked at herself for a moment before she turned her attention towards Izuku and his harem. She smiled as she tried to speak to them but no words came out of her mouth. Realising that she could not talk normally, Sumomo became saddened and disappointed.
Noticing that the slime-girl's sadness, Izuku smiled at her and gave her a hug while saying, "I'm glad that your physical form has grown so much, Sumomo-chan." Tears welled up in Sumomo's eyes as she smiled and hugged Izuku in return.
"She doesn't get out much, does she?" asked Fuun.
Ochako shook her head sadly and explained, "We had to keep her a secret from basically everyone in the school. Even if we didn't have to, she would still need at least one host just to live."
Fuun frowned at the idea of being unable to survive without a host and said, "That's… got to suck."
Eri approached Sumomo and Izuku shyly and asked him, "C-can I touch her?"
Izuku blinked once in surprise before he smiled warmly at her and said, "Sure, you can."
Encouraged by Izuku's smile, Eri poked at Sumomo and realised that she was firmer and warmer than expected. In fact, Sumomo's body felt like soft pudding which was as warm as a normal human body. Sumomo smiled at Eri as she petted her cheek, making the girl giggle from the ticklish feeling. Eri then asked Izuku, "Was she always this big?"
"No, she wasn't. In fact, this is the first time her copies get to come out and combine into a bigger form," said Izuku.
"To be fair, we couldn't risk letting her get discovered, especially early on when we were supposed to help out in finding the traitor," said Kyouka.
"So will she be able to come out more?" asked Eri.
"I'm afraid not, Eri-chan. At least not until Nedzu-sensei allows us to reveal her to the school if not the public," said Izuku.
"Then… can she stay outside just for today and play with us until she has to go back into your heads?" asked Eri.
Although surprised by Eri's request, Izuku nevertheless smiled at her as he replied, "Sure, she can." Both Eri and Sumomo perked up at his words.
Sumomo wasted no time to have fun with everyone as they watched cartoons and played simple board games and card games together. In an ironic twist, Sumomo, who was supposed to be experienced in deception, was very bad at hiding her own emotions. Her whole body tended to "perk up" whenever she was happy about something and "wilt" every time she was losing or had a bad hand in cards. Himiko and Fuun were gleefully ruthless in taking advantage of Sumomo's inability to hide her expressions during the card games.
No one had expected Izuku to be naturally talented in playing card games as his ability to analyse others made him terrifyingly effective in playing the game. His harem were quite certain that he could strip all of them naked if they had decided to play strip poker with him.
--Later that day…--
Sumomo, who was already starting to shrink and lose her shape a little, had to go back into her hosts including Fuun who had volunteered to be her newest one. Although disappointed that she could not stay out longer, she was happy to enjoy her day out.
Eri watched with childish fascination as Fuun split into several pieces and went into the heads of her hosts through their ears. While most of her hosts were used to it already, Fuun involuntarily shuddered as the warm and slimy body oozed into her ear.
Before long, Sumomo was back in her hosts and Izuku spoke to Eri and Fuun, "Well, it's great getting to know you two. I hope we'll be able to meet again soon."
"Well, it's not like we'll be going anywhere any time soon," said Fuun who then added, "Although I have to say that this place is a huge step up for the both of us." Compared to being in prison or a madman's laboratory, the room was certainly an improvement.
"Will I see you all again?" asked Eri who had gotten attached to Izuku and the girls.
Izuku smiled as he knelt down and patted Eri's head while saying, "We'll be taking a very important test tomorrow so we probably can't see you tomorrow. However, we definitely want to spend time with you and Juusan again soon."
"Really?" asked Eri.
"Yes, really," replied Izuku.
Eri hugged Izuku and said, "Please come back soon."
Izuku returned the hug and said, "We will. That's a promise."
As Izuku and his harem left the room, his eyes shone brightly with steely determination. Izuku and the girls who were going to take part in the provisional hero licence exam were determined to pass it even if it they had to face actual villains. One way or another, they were going to be heroes who would protect the innocent, uplift the weak, guide the lost, inspire the hopeless, mend the broken and vanquish the evil.
--End Chapter--
Author's Notes:
As stated before, this story will not have smut until the Provisional Hero Licence Exams are over at least. That said, I hope that the humour, fluff and plot progression make up for it. Also, Fuun has joined the harem but she won't be involved in the smut any time soon.
As for why I decided that Eri needed to knew about Sumomo, it is to prevent the girl from panicking when she sees her. Don't forget, Eri's quirk is capable of making living things essentially disappear by "rewinding" them and scaring her by accident is a possible trigger. Of course, Eri won't be joining the harem but she'll be like a daughter, niece or little sister to Izuku and his harem.
I will also be posting new chapters of Izuku's Pet Noumu and Izuku's Noumu Life before continuing this story.
Until next time, go beyond, plus ultra!
