Hands Getting Dirty for Some Farming
Izuku is seen doing pushups outside of the royal palace to get down on his routine to train himself to be ready for anything, especially when it comes to those Nomu monsters, and the one is the evil being that the Goddess Nana fought centuries ago who is still out there.
"(Those monsters are only the first things about this evil man, and more may come later.)" Izuku thought knew more danger is still coming.
"(And then there's the part that we have to face this evil man himself.)" Izuku thought feared that this evil being could be more powerful than he thought.
"We need to be ready." Izuku said as he stood up.
Suddenly there was an explosion coming from inside the royal palace and that got Izuku worried as that was also coming from the room Melissa is standing in since yesterday, he hurried over to the room where there are smoke coming through the frame.
"Melissa!" Izuku shouted in worry.
Izuku channel his power into one foot to kick the door down and enter the room, then he blows all of the smoke away with the clap of his hands through the window.
"Whoa!" Melissa was shocked.
"Melissa, is everything okay? There was smoke coming out of your room!" Izuku asked while checking on Melissa to make sure there isn't any injuries on her.
"Yes, everything is fine. I was just working on gear that I'm helping Mei with." Melissa gestured to the table with the gears and other machine stuff.
"Huh, you were just working on an invention?" Izuku asked.
"Yeah, but it looks like one of the circuits got didn't work well and suddenly it went up in smoke. Next thing I knew, you came in and blew the smoke away. Thanks, by the way." Melissa explained.
"How long have you been working on this?" Izuku asked.
"Not long, just after coming back from Mei's shop and dinner." Melissa answered.
"YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ALL NIGHT?!" Izuku screamed in shock.
Now with that truth being about out, he started to notice her eyes looking a tiny bit shaken and appears to be tired looking that she hasn't gotten any good night sleep.
"Are you absolutely sure that you're okay like that?" Izuku asked with concern.
"Don't worry. Believe it or not, I've been through this type of situation several times where I work on something that I want to complete even if it means going through all night to do it. There were times that I've gone through three nights without sleep." Melissa explained.
"That sounds really unhealthy." Izuku concerned.
"Like I said, don't worry, I came prepare to have these strong sleeping pills to help me sleep well whenever I'm done with my inventing." Melissa showed the sleeping pills to him.
"I just take one and lay down on the bed and damn, power recharge." Melissa said.
"I guess that's good, I was worried that I was gonna have to take you to see Recovery Girl." Izuku sighed in relief.
"But you know, there are a lot of things on the island you could see, and I could show you around." Izuku offered to give Melissa a little tour.
"Oh, is this your attempt to ask me on a date?" Melissa asked in a teasing tone.
"Date? No, no, it's nothing like that. Just thought you could use some relaxation from everything that's been going on and you being shipwrecked." Izuku stated, trying to calm his heart down.
Melissa thought about this for a moment, it has only been two days since she was knocked off that ship she was on and washed away by that terrible storm which she was lucky enough to survive all of that before coming to this island.
Whenever something does make her feel uneasy, tinkering around with machine parts and all that cheers her up, but maybe she could take a break from even that in order to really calm herself.
"I guess a little break from the tech wouldn't hurt." Melissa decided to get herself away from tech for a while.
"Glad to hear it because there is a place Queen Mirko wants to take me and Kacchan to see, and something about getting into the field work." Izuku mentioned.
"Sounds like fun." Melissa commented.
(Later)
The group arrives inside a carriage which they only use for really while distant travel like to the other side of the island.
"Here we are." Mirko exited the carriage with everybody following out.
"Where are we, your highness?" Inko asked curiously.
"Just a little something that helps us Amazons in a big way. Here, this is the Maiden Farm!" Mirko announced as she gestures to the land that is a big farm.
"Oh my, I didn't expect a warrior race of people to have themselves a farm like this." Mitsuki was surprised to see this.
"How do you expect us to grow our own food?" Mirko asked.
"Point taken." Mitsuki nodded, starting to see this.
"Wow, it's been a long time since I've been on a farm and seen the farm works up close!" Melissa was amazed.
"You've been on a farm before?" Katsuki asked.
"Yeah, twice. One time was with my father to visit a family friend on their farm, I got to learn a lot of things like how they were able to grow their own crop and taking care of the animals, I even fixed some of their power tools all by myself." Melissa remembered her first time on a farm.
"Guess you were able to discover your hidden talent." Izuku said.
"Yeah, I guess I did." Melissa giggled.
"The second time was on a class fieldtrip in middle school. It was fun going back to that experience again, and the farm was just as nice as the other first one." Melissa mentioned.
"Nice to know you've gotten a good experience in farming." Mirko said.
"Oh, and look at that, the head of the farm is right here." Mirko looked over to see a woman with black horns walking up to them, along with a few others behind her.
"Queen Mirko, we are honor that you would grace us with your presence." The black horn woman bowed as the others.
"Nice to see you again, Cow Lady. I take it the harvests are coming along great?" Mirko asked.
"You are correct, your highness. The crops are growing very nicely and have become rape for the picking." Cow Lady answered with confidence.
Cow Lady is a tall woman with shoulder-length, wavy blonde hair, two thick, curling horns emerging from the sides of her head, and the long, pointed ears of a cow. She wears a cowgirl outfit as her hero costume, with a dark orange cropped-top, laced and tied together at the bottom, over which she has a sleeveless denim jacket with a short rope tied at her neck. To match her torso gear, Cow Lady dons denim shorts which are ripped along the hem, and a western-style belt to hold them up, a large buckle shaped like a cow's head in the center. She has leather gloves and knee-high boots, a cowboy hat tied around her neck and two tasseled rings around her upper arms, and she wears orange-tinted shades to complete the look. Breasts size: M-cup.
"(What the fuck?! This bitch is bigger than the Queen?!)" Katsuki thought shocked.
"(So… big…!)" Izuku thought blushed gulping.
"I see you have brought the two heroes. I welcome you to the farm as well." Cow Lady said.
"Th-Thank you for having us." Izuku said, feeling a little nervous.
"Wow, I never met a male before." One girl said, looking at the boys closely.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer." Katsuki said sarcastically.
"You're right! Better savior the moment!" The girl took out a camera and start taking some pictures of Katsuki and Izuku.
"Nice to see you like to take in the moment, Pony." Ochaco commented with a smile.
"Ochaco! It's so good to see you again, and you girls too!" Pony greeted Ochaco and the other girls, Tsuyu, Kyoka, Mina and Toru.
Pony is a short girl with a round face and a short equine muzzle, framed by thick, wavy blonde hair that reaches halfway down her back, with shorter bangs hanging down her forehead. Her eyes are large and round, Prussian blue, and she has a pair of tall, lyre-shaped pale tan horns on her head. Her calves are notably rounded, shaped similarly to those of a horse, and she has brown hooves, and a short horse tail poking out from the end of her tailbone. She wears armor-like cloth in orange color and pale peach plating. Breasts size: G-cup.
"Oh, your freckles look like your face is covered in sprinkles." Pony commented on Izuku's trait on his face.
"Thank you, I guess." Izuku said.
"Is there any reason why were even here in the first place?" Katsuki asked.
"We're here to help pick out the harvest." Mirko answered.
"…Are you fucking real with me right now?" Katsuki deadpanned.
"Is there a problem with that?" Mirko asked.
"Yeah, we're here on your island to beat up a motherfucker who has a thing against you ladies and we should be training to face him, but now you expect us to do farm work!" Katsuki complained.
"Kacchan, I'm sure she wants to show us ho well the Amazons grow their food in this farm." Izuku said.
"Like I give a fuck!" Katsuki yelled at Izuku.
"I was thinking this might be a good time for you boys to relax after all of that rough training sessions, so we're here to help the Amazons bring in the crops." Mirko revealed.
"Oh, and you can't refuse because you'll end up in the dungeon and we might have to ask the goddess to take your power away." Mirko threatened with a smirk.
Katsuki flinches as he gritted his teeth, he really doesn't want to waste his time on something stupid like farm working, but the threat could be real if he doesn't comply with this.
With a heavy growl, he gave in and go through this stupid farm stuff.
"Good, now we can get to work." Mirko nodded.
"(Mirko, sure knows how to reel him in.)" Izuku thought surprised.
"Good, follow me." Cow Lady said and the group start walking.
They walk through a path with fields of crops on both sides with some Amazon women doing some field work, looking at the dirt and carefully at the crops that are growing to see the color and feeling the right texture.
Some of the Amazons have notice the new visitors following Cow Lady and the Amazing Queen herself, they wave at the visitors and mostly at the male warriors which got them to feel a little excited to see them.
"Everyone sure is a hard worker here." Inko commented.
"Yep, we already do our best to make sure the land has been taken care of to make the crops that comes out fresh and big." Cowy Lady smiled proudly.
"Big? What do you mean by that?" Mitsuki asked curiously.
"What I mean is… Oh, looks like that one is about to pull one carrot out right now." Cowy Lady noticed one of the farm workers is about to pull out a carrot from the field.
"All of you watch carefully on how she checks to make sure the ground isn't clinch onto the carrot too much for her to pull out." Cow Lady pointed at the woman.
"I remember learning about that. Pulling the crops out of the ground takes muscle work as the roots are connected underground, but you also have to be careful not to pull too hard or too fast otherwise you might end up breaking them." Melissa explained on what she knows.
"Exactly. If I didn't know any better, then you might be a country girl." Cow Lady commented.
"Thanks." Melissa chuckled.
"I still don't see what the big deal is here. All we're looking at is someone pulling out a puny carrot." Katsuki rolled his eyes.
But right after Katsuki said that the Amazon woman fully pulls out the carrot that is not so puny at all. In fact, that carrot is way bigger than a normal carrot, about over half the size of her body as she lifts it over her head with a shout of victory.
Katsuki became immediately shocked when he saw that huge carrot over that woman's head as he had just gone pale.
"That's not a small carrot…" Izuku was shocked as well.
"Guess you don't have big vegetables like that back home." Mirko smirked.
"Here on Amazon Island, there are a lot more of these vegetables and fruits growing big." Cow Lady mentioned.
The boys and their moms looked around the farm to see the other Amazon warriors pulling out the crops showing that, like the carrot, the other crops are also bigger than the normal ones with some being almost as big as their own bodies or even bigger than themselves and yet those women were able to life them off almost like it was nothing.
"So fucking huge?!" Mitsuki shouted in shock.
"I never knew mushrooms could be that big." Inko said, seeing that size makes her think of the big meal chefs back could cook with that.
"How are they so big?" Melissa asked.
"It's like we said, we've been taking good care of the ground so that the soil is rich and healthy for our crops to grow and continue this way for thousands of years. As if a Goddess of earth has blessed us with good harvest." Cow Lady explained as they continue walking.
"We made sure our fields are good such as keeping some pesty bugs away and protecting them from any storms that come. It is the life of earth that we come to appreciate the most." Cow Lady smiled with a hand on her big breast.
"Well, I can definitely say that you girls are really going all out on the field almost it's like your own battlefield." Inko complimented.
"Thank you, that's just how we feel." Cow Lady thanked.
They arrive at the big barn house where some women are working with moving some big stacks of hay and tending to the animals here, and there is a girl with a clipboard checking up on some of the girls handling the bull.
"Yes, this harvest is going right on schedule." The girl nodded.
"Saiko!" Cow Lady called out to the girl, getting her attention.
"Cow Lady, we everything is all green." Saiko informed.
Saiko is a rather pale girl of reasonable height, with thin, somewhat cat-like eyes, with thick upper eyelashes, a couple of longer and more pronounced ones poking out to each far side, their irises a bluish-lilac color. Her hair is straight and reaches down to her waist, with two ear-length clumps and a neat fringe framing her face in a hime cut, its color is somewhere between baby blue, lavender and pale gray. She wears a white, double-breasted blazer with a high collar and a gold trim that reaches halfway down her thighs, its sleeves elbow-length and cut off by wide pale blue cuffs, a large pink bow at her neck, a dark blue long-sleeved shirt with matching dress pants, coupled with white gloves and boots as well as a white beret-style hat with a black trim by the bottom marking the Amazon emblem. She also wears a golden monocle over her left eye, a chain hanging off one side with a small jewel at the end, the same color as her eyes. Breasts size: G-cup.
"Glad to hear that. Queen Mirko along with the male heroes and their mothers and friends are here to pick gather the crops." Cow Lady pointed her thumb at the group.
"Wonderful, then this harvest is going to be even better that we might get this done ahead of time." Saiko believed.
"By the way, it would be best that you should use your Quirk on the crops, Katsuki." Mirko said, which annoys him.
"Come on, time to get picking!" Mirko declared.
Everyone got to work on picking out the crops together as Katsuki struggles to take out some vegetables though he been able to get them out, but it was still really hard for him and Izuku too as he didn't use his Quirk to get them out because it wouldn't be fair, and because he didn't want to get yelled at again.
"Feeling my hands getting dirty sure feels nice." Melissa commented.
"You can say that again." Izuku agreed as he wipes the sweat from his forehead.
