I'm back and I'm pissed, I like to eat and I still have no name to most of you. Crack out of the way, there's only one thing to say.

WHAT. THE. FUCK? I'm blown away with the sheer amount of reviews under the previous chapter, I expected to see like five at most, and the fact that they kept on comin' even three weeks after the chapter was posted! Y'all are crazy, but I can't thank you enough for the support!

I knew this day would come where I'd have to answer like 20 reviews at once, so I'm gonna change it up for today - Imma address the present fanbase of all girls mentioned by you to speed it up and not double the length of this chapter, let's go!:

Ochaco and Tsu - No. We're not doing either of these. They'll be mentioned and maybe appear in an epilogue if I ever decide to write one, but they will not be present in the story in the same fashion like Mina for example. Maybe one day I'll bring myself to write something with these two, but that day has yet to come.

Momo - Hello my fellow rich girl fans. I absolutely loved Momo before I was abruptly introduced to the world of 1-B girls and adult heroines. If you want to see Momo soon then... read the chapter and find out!

Kyoka - Punk/Tomboy gf anyone? Oh absolutely. I imagine that first she's gonna try and figure out what rocks to bang against each other to make a sick beat and then try and bang Mido-

Itsuka - THE big sis. Yup. She here. Not yet though. Or maybe? Not gonna lie I figured out how to introduce the 1-B girls without the story spanning entire years spent inside this strange world like yesterday? Maybe two days ago? It's gonna be great, maybe a bit horni, but definitely in the not-so-distant future. I think.

Pony - Sigh. I'm on the fence about this one. She's absolutely adorable especially when people write Monoma teaching her insults to throw at Class A whilst predenting that those are words of encouragement. Alas I've yet to figure out if I'm gonna add her to the pile or not. If I do then she's definitely gonna be ridin' like a cowgi-

Toru - You wanna see the invisible girl? Alright, you'll get to see the invisible girl. Yes, it's foreshadowing. No, I won't elaborate.

Setsuna - So you want a second Mina but green, right? Consider it done, but not actually because I haven't written ahead too much. She'll show up though!

Yui - Everybody that thinks she's horny put your hands in the air and follow me! I absolutely love the theory that she appears to be so stoic and composed whilst on the inside she's like horni incarnate. I actually even took a jab at it already in one of my previous works, so that version of her is basically canon for me!

Ibara - So... Christian girl that follows the Bible to at least some extent where sex before marriage along with polygamy are prohibited and you want her added to a harem? That sounds a lot like corrupting an innocent girl. It's awful. I love it.

Alright, with that out of the way there's one comment that required a separate answer:

Boomer4theWin - I wholeheartedly agree with your reasoning as should everyone else. Yes Midoriya has an absolutely overpowered strength ehnancing quirk, but he is also ripped. Yes, 99% of his strength in a fight comes from the Quirk, but even without it he could still dish out some punishment. He's strong enough to seriously injure or even kill someone without his quirk, but he doesn't have the mental aptitude to do so. It's something that I want to explore later down the line when an old friend of ours makes a sudden reappearance.

And with that out of the way - the chapter proper!:

Not much changed in the next few days. The rain was as merciless as ever, though the wind seemed to calm down a bit, the berries were plentiful and firewood very much needed.

Ashido was just about ready to once again cuddle with her… right, they probably should discuss this sooner rather than later.

It was obvious to her that the term 'friends' didn't suit them anymore, not since they made love a couple of days ago in this very cave. But could they call this strange arrangement a relationship? Or maybe it all would end when the temperature rose and the need for keeping each other warm vanished?

The second outcome didn't sound like Midoriya at all. He was a bit dense about romance, but his caring nature was one of his most prominent features, so there was no way he would just end this without talking it through with her.

Besides, she was pretty sure that he was as much into her as she was into him. All the intimate moments could be excused by the fact that they're but a pair of attractive, hormonal teenagers, but what about the innocent embraces in the morning? What about the sweet kisses to start the day off on a good note?

Her internal monologue was cut short when Midoriya burst into the cave at last and instead of undressing himself before bedtime he started rummaging through the pile of the more useful stuff they had. This was enough for Ashido to get up and walk up to him in curiosity.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I just saw another meteorite crash nearby, so I'm going to grab whatever it brought." he answered as he finally found what he was looking for. A worn out satchel that he immediately secured around his waist. He turned around to see a very conflicted Ashido. "What's wrong?" he asked softly and walked closer to her.

"Do you really have to go? It's still raining and I swear that it's getting worse and worse each day."

"I know, but there might be something that can help us better deal with this crazy weather, like a raincoat or something."

Mina released a tired sigh and then smiled at her classmate. "You better come back soon or you'll have to warm me up even more than usual." she stated and he couldn't stop himself from chuckling.

"I'll be back before you even notice I was gone!" Izuku stated with a smile and then placed a quick kiss on her cheek. "Sleep tight."

And with that he left into the night. Ashido released one last dreamy sigh before going back to bed and wrapping herself with the blanket.

She idly remembered that she already was in this situation a week ago, but there were some very major differences between the two moments. Whereas then she was scared and worried now she had no trouble with falling asleep as she was sure that Midoriya will return in no time flat and she will once again be able to wake up surrounded by his warmth.

The weather was just as Ashido said - merciless and annoying. The cold rain pelted every exposed part of his skin and made it harder to see from further away. At least he shouldn't have to worry about predators being too active right now.

Before this entire monsoon rolled in, he used to see a saber-tooth walking along their safety river every now and then, but they stopped showing up a few days ago. Maybe they were more akin to typical house cats that despised water above all else?

Whatever the case, Izuku was happy with their current situation. How could he not be?

They had shelter, food, water and fire. And he also managed to somehow land himself a very sexy and attractive… huh. This sudden thought made Midoriya stop in his tracks. What exactly were they? Well, they were doing the typical couple stuff like cuddling and kissing. And sex. But were they a couple? Actually did it really matter now when they were still stuck in this weird place? Maybe they should worry about it once they find a way to go back home? But even then it would be a good idea to at least talk about it to avoid any hard feelings later on.

A distant roar broke through the rain and jolted Izuku out of his thoughts.

"Of-fucking-course…" he groaned out and tighted the satchel around his waist.

He'd come back to this subject no doubt, but it seemed as if he had other things to worry about right now. That roar sounded quite distant, but the rain definitely drowned out the sound, which could mean that the predator might be way closer.

There was also the possibility that he could run into a different one whilst running away from this one, so there really wasn't a clear course of action to take.

"We're cuddling extra long in the morning." Midoriya stated with a determined smile and then continued his trek to the crash site.

Izuku had seen enough of these meteorites to know what to expect, not like it was hard since no matter where you look there were only trees but still.

Finding the exact location of a crash site wasn't really all that hard since the smell of smoke was easily distinguishable from the cool nighttime breeze and the fire itself lit up the surrounding area.

The rain masked the smell of smoke very nicely, which made Midoriya's job harder than it usually was. He had trust in his ability to keep walking in a straight line towards his target, but it was really hard to do with no landmarks and no compass when everything looked identical!

Nevertheless he managed to locate the crash site where he discovered something so strange that 'creepy' seemed like a better adjective in this situation.

A meteorite was basically a chunk of burning rock from space. Burning meant that it was on fire. Stuff already on fire has a tendency to set flammable materials like wood and vegetation on fire. Water poured onto a fire kills it almost instantly. It's not rocket science but common knowledge, right?

So why the fuck was this rock still on fire?!

It made literally no sense. First it took him a couple of minutes to get back to the cave and prepare for the trek and then probably half an hour to get here, all the while the rain fell mercilessly from the sky. Not only should the meteorite not be on fire, but it should've also cooled down by now and probably filled the entire area with steamy mist, yet even standing a couple of feet away from it, Izuku was still able to feel the heat radiating from it. The flames flickered and danced with the droplets but refused to go out.

"And I thought that this sudden monsoon was bullshit" Midoriya mumbled out loud.

Ultimately he decided to stop wasting his precious time on trying to figure out what the fuck he was witnessing and start doing what he was meant to do - gather supplies.

He mostly took the satchel so that he wouldn't have to carry whatever he found in his hands, but now that he saw what the meteor brought, he was glad he had the bag with him.

Laying all around the place were identical pieces of metal that looked like screws which ended in blunt hooks. He was puzzled at first but then he spotted a pair of boots with spiked soles along with a climbing pick and it all made sense. What he just found was a full set of climbing gear bar rope and harness, but he knew that they had some ropes already and a makeshift harness would probably be easy to make, at least that's what he thought.

This was not the time or place to plan how they were going to use this gear. They would have plenty of time to figure it out tomorrow so for now he silenced his thoughts for a moment and gathered the scattered bolts before putting on the boots and grabbing the climbing pick.

Having spent half a year wearing nothing but some cloth or leather wraps on his feet made the feeling of finally walking in some proper shoes all the better.

Sure the spikes tended to constantly bump against the roots that decided to show their figurative middle fingers by growing upwards instead of downwards, but not having to deal with sharp stones digging into his feet made the additional strain of having to raise them higher negligible.

It took Izuku twice as long to finally make his way back but he was as content with the trip as he was tired. He wisely decided to take off the boots before walking inside the cave so as not to risk waking Mina up from her, hopefully, peaceful slumber. Once inside he tiptoed towards their collection of appropriately-named-stuff and gently placed down his spoils before finally heading to rest next to his… Right, they had yet to figure this out. For now he would just call her Mina and maybe later they could come up with something.

The climbing gear seemed to be immensely useful at first thought, but now that the adrenaline and emotions had calmed down it was kinda hard to figure out a use for their freshest spoils. The only thing probably worth climbing was the cliffside that encompassed their safe part of the jungle, but even then there was this teensy weensy issue that Izuku hadn't really thought about earlier.

Neither of them knew how to actually use the climbing gear. Sure Mina did some extreme things in junior high like parachuting and taking a bus without buying a ticket but rock climbing was not on her list. She had it planned but never really got around to doing it.

As such they were stuck with yet another thing to throw in the not-so-useful-after-all pile, at least till one of them suddenly figured out that they were naturals when it came to rock climbing.

And that's just the beginning of their problems.

The wind died down over the last few days; very good news. The rain however showed no signs of letting up; not so good news. Despite the ridiculous amounts of precipitation they were bombarded by, the water level in their moat/drinking water supply/laundry room/bath didn't seem to change; again, very good news. All that's good has to end someday and the status quo of their river seemed to get closer and closer to a breaking point with each passing moment.

"If the rain doesn't stop in the next few days we may find ourselves in need of a new shelter." Midoriya voiced his worries one evening as he cuddled with Mina right before bed.

It seemed as if their first couple of passionate nights used up most of their hormonal horniness and so instead of pleasure they embraced each other for comfort.

Mina, whose head was laying on his chest, sighed and looked up at her friend. "It would probably be a good idea to find one then, huh? Like, just to be safe." She stated and received a small nod in reply. The atmosphere seemed a bit too tense for her liking so she climbed higher and planted a loving kiss on his lips.

Things escalated after that and they found themselves embracing the pleasure before settling back for comfort as they originally planned.

Following Mina's idea they decided to have a look around in hope of finding something they could use in case their current home gets occupied by the fishes and whatever else may lurk in these shallow waters.

They didn't really count on finding anything even remotely close to what they had now, which was a very good mindset, because they spared themselves the feeling of sheer disappointment. They didn't really fancy the idea of being susceptible to predator attacks at night so leaving the safety of their grove was not an option. This meant that they had a very limited selection of suitable shelters, none of which were exactly great.

Most of them were little holes in the side of the cliffs that protected their valley. They found one cave that they could use if the need arises, but it still was a far cry from the coziness of their current home.

All of the places they explored lacked one key feature that made their shelter that much more comfortable to live in - a natural lightsource.

Those strange glowing crystals provided enough light for them to be able to move around their cave without stumbling over random shit or each other without the need for a fireplace. It came to bite them in the backside already when the storm first came and they had no fire to warm themselves next to, but that's beside the point. The lesson has been learned and they'd be more mindful for the future.

Still, not having to worry about light was a great boon. Sure they could just choose to live inside one of the cracks which could barely even be considered as shelter, but they were so fucking shallow and thin that it'd be impossible to fit two people side by side and they didn't really want to separate as they got used to the other's warmth real fast.

Their disappointment was immeasurable but at least their day wasn't ruined as they dejectedly decided to start their work for the day and worry about their shady housing situation later.

They tried searching the cliffside on a different day, but still came up with nothing that could replace their current dwelling.

But as with most things in this strange dimension, the answer to their problem would seek them out on itself.

Mina went out for a walk when the downpour suddenly let up one evening. The rain may have made the entire scenery a lot less stunning these last couple of days, but now it was back to its former glory. Even one of the Suns decided it was time for a change and defiantly parted the clouds to shine some light at the massive jungle below.

This resulted in the rays being reflected by all the little water droplets that remained after the unending rain and made everything sparkle as if covered in glitter. There was even a barely visible rainbow right in front of the waterfall! Overall it looked even better than Mina remembered it and so she ended up wandering around till it started getting dark.

The pink-skinned woman decided that it was finally time to head back and started walking alongside the river towards their little island. Meanwhile she kept admiring the last rays of sunshine trying to prolong this peaceful atmosphere. Her eyes were wandering from one little sparkle to another when they finally settled on something very curious.

She noticed something glinting among the many crevices that dotted the steep cliffs of their valley.

Filled with curiosity she decided to investigate it further. The Suns had already set by the time she made it to the towering stone wall but the glint was still there. She tried to wrap her head around this phenomenon and was about to dismiss it when she noticed something similar in a nearby patch of bushes.

She warily stepped closer to said bushes and grinned widely when she noticed that they were growing right in front of an entrance to yet another cave that they've somehow missed the other day.

Mina immediately sprinted back to the cave to share her newest findings with Izuku, who was easily infected by her enthusiasm and they both set out to examine the cave, but not before rummaging through their pile of maybe-of-some-use stuff in search of something that could help them clear the path easily. The bushes didn't seem to have thorns, but even dry twigs could scratch their skin and expose them to whatever microbes occupied the air around them.

A quick search revealed that they had a pair of lopping shears that Midoriya weirdly has no memories of finding. Yet another strange thing, although it really seemed that 'strange' was just a common thing in this place.

Now that they had a suitable tool for the job, Mina led her comrade towards the hidden cave. The night had fully set in by the time they left their shelter so it took quite some time for Mina to find her way back to the spot with how dark it was, but said darkness made finding the exact patch of bushes they were looking for a cakewalk with how prominent the light became.

Izuku immediately got to work on carving them a path through the foliage with his razorsharp loppers whilst Mina bounced excitedly behind him.

This was her third week in this place and so far it was Izuku who led her by the hand and taught her everything she'd need to survive and be useful to him, so for her to finally make a breakthrough or by herself after being just a helper sure felt good.

In no time flat the cave entrance was uncovered and the two students headed inside filled with excited anxiety and overflowing curiosity.

The initial tunnel from the surface opened up into a bigger chamber just like their cave, but larger. The faint light Mina noticed earlier was produced by a big, glowing crystal 'chandelier', not unlike the one that illuminated their shelter, but with one very distinct difference. Instead of yellow they were green and pink, looking like a jagged combination of emeralds and amethysts. It was as breathtaking as it was oddly specific. If one was to think just a bit too much into it then it would be easy to make a connection between the two of them and the crystals above them. Green emeralds like Midoriya's hair, eyes and most of his hero costume and pink amethysts like Ashido's… entirety really.

Thankfully they were too smitten by the sight and driven by a sudden need for exploration to give it more thought. The initial awe passed soon and they started looking around the cavern. It quickly became obvious that this was not just a cave, but an entrance to an entire cave system with a handful of tunnels leading in different directions. Most of them however were pitch black with only two being illuminated by crystals similar to the ones that hung above them.

The duo decided to check one of the illuminated paths, the one lit up by green emeralds. They passed an even shorter tunnel than the one leading to the surface and quickly found themselves in another, albeit much smaller chamber. There was nothing special about it except for a certain part that was a bit elevated in comparison to the rest of the floor. Not only that, it looked as if it was chiseled and not natural with how sharp and pronounced the contours were.

Then they headed into the second tunnel that led to a similar cavern with an identical elevated spot alongside one of the walls. The only real difference was the color of the lighting - a lovely pink of an amethyst, identical to the one they saw back in the main cavern.

"Doesn't this seem way too suspicious to you or am I just getting paranoid?" Mina voiced her thoughts when they returned to the entrance.

"You mean that the emeralds and amethysts suit the two of us perfectly? Or maybe the fact that just as we seemed to be in need of a new place to stay, it suddenly appeared here?" Izuku himself had a small but a bit strained smile on his face.

"Everything about this seems pretty sketchy." Ashido groaned. "It's not like we have a choice though." She pointed out with a sigh and Izuku instantly agreed.

"Not really, unless you fancy waking up with the fishies one morning." He joked to lighten up the mood which seemed to work perfectly as they ended up laughing at the sheer oddness of the situation they were in.

They knew that moving from their compromised home would be necessary at some point, but they received a sobering reminder when they woke up one day only to see a few puddles of water that definitely weren't there when they went to sleep yesterday, dotting the floor of their cave.

They decided that it was way too close for comfort and immediately started their move. They underestimated the sheer amount of stuff stored in their pile of things-that-might-be-useful-one-day and as such weren't able to carry all of it to their new shelter before night came around. Another thing they didn't consider was the fact that they had their own separate rooms now. Having spent the previous two weeks or so cuddled up in one bed made the impromptu separation almost unbearable. Izuku was rolling in his makeshift bed unable to fall asleep for quite some time already, but the exhaustion from hauling stuff to their new home was slowly starting to take effect.

Just as he was about to drift off however, he heard rapidly approaching footsteps. He didn't even have the time to fully prepare himself for the impact before Mina landed on top of him in all of her naked glory with labored breath, a flushed face and a smile on her lips.

"I missed you." She breathed out and immediately dived down to seal his lips with a passionate kiss.

It was at this moment that Izuku understood that he was not going to sleep anytime soon.

He woke up later than he was used to the next day, but still felt refreshed and charged with positive energy, no doubt thanks to the beautiful girl snoring softly next to him.

Mina woke up a couple of minutes later feeling extra cuddly and so they started their day even later than usual. Despite all the setbacks they managed to carry the remaining stuff to their new abode by midday and decided to catch up on some foraging, which they neglected yesterday to focus on hauling their spoils.

Having already experienced the uncomfortable feeling of separation the night prior, the pair decided to keep sharing the bed and simply changing the room every now and then.

They were however too enamored with each other and their new home to notice that a third kind of crystals started softly glowing - the mineral in question giving off a dim, blackish shine, similar to an onyx.

Can you guess who's coming next? Or do I have to figure out something else besides glowing crystals to make easter egg spoilers noticeable?

Either way, I thank you for all of the support, favs, follows, reviews and views that you're showering me with! I hope you enjoyed today's chapter and I'll catch you in the next update!
