Chapter 13: Time Off in Japan

Katsuki Bakugou stared at the front of his old family home for a few minutes.

Yep, it still looked as color-muted and somewhat gaudy as he remembered.

But there was still a ghost of a smile when he looked at it.

He did it. He survived an insane month-long mission in another world full of giant snakes, ghosts, mushroom monsters, dragons, and who knows what other crazy shit.

And all so he could come back here.

Fiddling with his civilian clothes, he took a deep breath, walked past the garden and up to the door. He still has the house key, so he simply put it in, turned the lock, opened the door, and –

WHAM!

""KATSUKI!""

– immediately got tackled by his mom and dad into a bear hug.

"OI, GET OFF ME!" he shouted. "YOU BOTH SMELL LIKE OLD PEOPLE!"

"We're happy to see you, too, son," his dad, Masaru said.

"Oh, my little Katsuki, already a war hero!" his mom, Mitsuki, cried as she squeezed him a bit more. "And here I thought that you'd never find work as a pyromaniac –"

"I'm not a pyromaniac, you old hag, I'm a goddamn demolitions expert!" he yelled, as he pried his parents off of him. "And I'm not a war hero, there has to be a war going on to be one!"

"Have you been eating well? Oh, you must be hungry! You're so skinny –"

"I'm not hungry, Ma! I'll just have dinner at the same time as everyone else! Sheesh!"

Walking into the house and putting his things down in the living room, he heard his dad walking up behind him. "So, did you kill any monsters while you were on the other side, son?"

"Can't talk about it, old man. Top secret, and whatever," he curtly answered.

"It's okay, Katsuki. Just tell us what you can."

"Ugh, fine. Let's see… I almost died a bunch of times, and most of my teammates are complete idiots," Katsuki said. "But our commanding officer is at least half-decent at her job."

"Oh, that's nice to hear!" the old hag smiled. "I'll go start on dinner!"

"Ma, I said I'm not hungry –"

"Katsuki."

The ash blond stopped talking as he heard a familiar voice, one which was neither one of his parents, but one which he had yearned to hear for the last month.

Turning around, she saw her. Fawn-colored hair that reached just below her shoulders. Wide, dark brown eyes. Glossy lips. And she was still wearing her ring on her finger.

She was Katsuki Bakugou's wife, Camie Bakugou, formerly Utsushimi.

"Thank you both for coming here as soon as possible," Rikiya Yotsubashi, the CEO of Detnerat company, said to his two colleagues in the room. "I know you're both busy."

Said colleagues were Koku Hanabata, the leader of the Hearts and Minds political party, and Tomoyasu Chikazoku, one of the board members of Feel Good, Inc.

To say that Detnerat had connections would be an understatement. Over his long life, Rikiya had created a foundation, an intricate web of partners, politicians, and clients, all of them relying on one another, from the top journalists and authors at Shoowaysha Publishing, to the commissioners of the Japanese police, to even some members of the JSDF.

He had to admit, the United States had an interesting idea when it came to money in politics: The majority of it came from extremely wealthy donors during election times, who would either support those who believed in their ideals, or get them to change their minds on something with a little cash-based incentive. And when their chosen politicians couldn't accept any more money due to the whole "bribery" thing, they simply used lobbyists in order to go around it.

It was as ingenious as it was insidious. Because of that, anyone with enough money could essentially buy a politician and push their own agenda. The downside, however, was that when it came to the United States, thanks to their polarized political climate, everyone already knew who supported everyone else, simply to go for their opponents' throat.

For example, several of their conservative politicians took money from, say, gun lobbyists, big oil, and anti-abortionists. Now, that wasn't technically illegal, but it was highly distasteful to half the country over the fact that school shootings, climate change, and women's health were hotly debated topics over in the States. And because of the internet and 24/7 news cycle, anyone would be able to know which politician took what money from which group.

Meaning that if you screwed up badly or were particularly disliked, you would end up being demonized by the opposition for taking "blood money" from say, the gun lobbyists, after saying something regarding school shootings, whether claiming that it was purely a mental health crisis, or that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun was with a good guy with a gun.

Rikiya liked the idea that you could use money to influence certain groups. The part he didn't like was the fact that America took it to the absolute extreme, and that thanks to their polarizing media, the entire country had devolved into an "us versus them" mentality.

It was nothing less of a miracle that the US was still a standing country after so long.

Regardless, Rikiya decided to borrow from the American playbook and create his own network of relationships, but with two differences from how the States did it: One, his group would be far more subtle. And two, his group would not be composed of absolute psychopaths.

Seriously, how the fuck did American politicians sleep at night when making deals with people like gun lobbyists? Sure, Rikiya loved money as much as the next CEO, but come the fuck on! Rikiya himself had a daughter, for crying out loud, he would have absolutely pushed to make sure those things were kept as far away from school as fucking possible!

But, yeah, anyway, that was what Rikiya did: Create his own inner circle of like-minded people, who would work together to try and influence Japan from the shadows, while also making sure they wouldn't go too far and turn it into a post-apocalyptic wasteland like America.

But when it came to his most trusted colleagues, that would be Hanabata and Chikazoku, hands down. Sure, it somewhat helped that they were both highly influential politicians and board members respectively, but their personalities were also simply fun to be around.

So, Rikya enjoyed when they got to meet up at times like these.

"Not a problem, boss," Chikazoku said. "Just call, and I'll answer."

"Wonderful. So, to start, let's recap," Rikiya said. "Nearly a month and a half ago, some mysterious portal showed up in the middle of Mustafu, and everything from dragons to giant monsters to knights came out of it and started killing people left and right. Luckily, the JSDF managed to suppress the enemy, and Prime Minister Mera sent the troops to the other side."

"Well, yeah, no shit," Hanabata grunted. "This is just like that Attack on Titan fanfic I read last week, but just replace the Titans with crap from the medieval ages."

"Well spoken," the Detnerat CEO said. He learned long ago to deal with his associates' quirks. "Unfortunately, due to the media blackout, that was all we knew. Up until now, that is."

Hanabata and Chikazoku remained quiet as Rikiya pulled out a binder from his desk.

"Oooh… So, what's the juicy info we got, Chief?" Hanabata asked.

"I have a soldier on the inside, and apparently, it's common knowledge on the other side that Lieutenant General Aizawa sent his most prized pupil along with thirteen others on some sort of exploration mission. They go out there, collect their findings, and be back in a month."

"Well, let's hope your inside guy is a good actor so no one finds out," Chikazoku hummed.

"No, it was more "grab an extra copy of the written report and give it to me" sort of deal, but after reading it, I'm starting to think that he might have at least some minor acting skills, given how much of a straight face he had when giving me the report. Seriously, it's ridiculous."

Both Hanabata and Chikzauko grabbed a copy of the report Rikiya brought, and while the Feel Good board member began to read it, the politician didn't. Hanabata knew that his old friend would just explain it to them as they read, so he really had no reason to.

"Alright, well let's not stay in suspense. What's the new intel we got?" he asked.

Katsuki stared at his wife with a dumb smile. "Camie…"

"I'm just gonna leave you two to catch up," Marusu said, leaving the living room.

The two of them were left alone, and immediately, Katsuki went in for a hug and kiss, which his wife reciprocated wholeheartedly. "Whoa, someone really missed me," Camie said.

"You have no fucking idea," he whispered, his face full of relief.

To most of the outside world, Katsuki Bakugou was a crude, short-tempered person, who didn't care for anyone but himself. That was somewhat incorrect. He cared for others, it was just that the people he cared about happened to be either his parents, or his spouse.

The two of them met when they were in high school, and it was sort of a rocky start. Katsuki thought that Camie was just some bimbo, and Camie thought that Katsuki was just some loud-mouthed idiot. But eventually, after a couple shared detention sessions, the two of them gained a mutual understanding, and that understanding became a friendship.

From there it was pretty soon that they became a couple, and once Katsuki was done with both his basic military and demolitions training, the two of them were married.

When a pair of JSDF officers knocked on Katsuki's door, he knew that it had to do with the Musutafu Incident earlier in the week, and he was right. A mission which required both his demolition expertise and his fluency in Latin, which he took during his high school days.

Katsuki and Camie's last good-bye in front of his old childhood home was a tender one, especially as they had spent the night before being intimately close to one another, but Katsuki rest assured that if anything were to happen to him, his parents would care for Camie.

But now he was back, and she was right there. He had survived, and was greeted by his better half. Her glossy lips tasted delicious on his, the scent of her hair, the slight bulge on her belly –

Wait, what?

Doing a double-take, he placed his arm near her stomach, and sure enough, it was slightly bigger than before. It wasn't big enough for him to notice just by looking at her, but every time he felt her abdomen region, he did. Did she gain weight? Was his mom stuffing her? Even if that was the case, she was still the woman he loved, regardless of her physique, but still –

"So, you noticed?"

Katsuki snapped out of his thoughts to see his smiling wife's face. "Noticed what?"

She leaned in, and whispered two words into his ear.

And with that, Katsuki now had one more reason to come back alive to his family.

Rikiya simply said, "In short, it's anywhere between unbelievable to absolutely insane."

The leader of the Hearts and Minds Party smirked. "Well, at least it's gonna be interesting."

"Apparently, the gate that showed up is called the "Collibus Hills Gate," and it's located in an area between a forest and a valley. Interestingly enough, the flora and fauna there are also native to Earth. But, that's where the similarities to our world and theirs stop."

"Lemme guess," Chikazoku drawled. "Everything else is fucked?"

"Less than an hour into their mission, Aizawa's prized pupil and her team nearly get crushed by a crash-landing angel," the long-nosed man said. "Literally, she had wings and everything."

"Huh... I'd make a "It must've hurt when you fell from Heaven" line, but that's beneath me."

Rikiya glared at the politician. "Hanabata, in the first hour of their mission, these idiots discovered the existence of literal higher powers, this is not the time for jokes. Be serious."

"Right, sorry boss."

Even with that ridiculous schnoz, Rikiya Yotusbashi was intimidating.

"Luckily, the good news seems that even though gods apparently exist, they're only limited to their world, if the astronomical data they gathered is any good, so we should be fine. Probably."

"Good, best it stays that way," the long-haired board member said. "I've studied a bit of Greek Mythology in my youth, and I can safely say that we don't need a Zeus ruling over us."

"Glad you think that, because apparently, the local ecosystems will probably do us in before any cosmic beings get the chance to smite us," Rikiya said with a deadpan delivery.

"Before we continue with that, what's the deal with the angel?" Hanabata asked, slightly curious. "Did it actually get kicked out of their version of Heaven or whatever?"

"Apparently, she got booted out of there for falling in love with some mortal," the long-nosed CEO said. "She got stripped of most of her power, and she basically struck a deal with Aizawa's pupil and the basic grunts: They escort her to her lover, she acts as their guide to the world."

"No information on this heavenly hierarchy?" Chikazoku asked.

"Actually, she did divulge a few things to General Kayama once the team returned from their month-long mission. In fact, it was one of the last things to go into this report."

"Oh? And what exactly did she divulge?" Hanabata asked.

"It was about the local deities. Apparently, gods over there come in two types: The really ancient ones that are responsible for creating something or other, and the recent ones that are the result of either mortals being super overpowered, or because a bunch of weaklings decided to worship said mortals. Jury's still out on their immortality, so we don't know if they can actually die or not."

"What about the mortal she fell head over heels for?" the glasses-wearing politician asked.
"I doubt they would've just kicked her out for getting it on with some random guy."

"Hmm… that is a good point, actually," Rikiya agreed with his scheming buddy. "If they're someone important, she probably kept her mouth shut and let the Yaoyorozu girl and her cronies just assume whatever they wanted. We should probably investigate this."

"Let's hope they're not someone we don't wanna be on the wrong side of," Chikazoku said.

"Yeah, imagine if her lover turned out to be the local Demon King, or something like that, heh," Rikiya chuckled, before thinking about it some more. "Actually, let's not think about that."

"Anything else we should know?" Hanabata asked.

"Considering that we're still discussing the parts pertaining to the first hour of the first day of their report, yes, quite a bit, actually," the Doofenshmirtz impersonator said.

"Alright, what's next on the list?" Hanabata asked.

"Chronologically, that would be around seven hours later, when they made camp at a… mushroom forest. Ugh…" Rikiya groaned. "Never liked the taste of those things."

"I swear that wouldn't be the worst on this list, I've looked through it quickly and the things they got up to are literally straight from one of your crack fics, Hanabata," Chikzauko hissed.

"Well, look who finally decided to speak up," Hanabata said. "Forty seconds, a new record."

"Wait, have you been timing how long I've been staying silent?"

"Kinda, I'm actually timing how fast you get your head out of whatever report you're reading and come back to join me and Yotsubashi into the conversation. Your old record was two minutes."

"I'm just going to ignore that. Anyway, there's a certain quartet of individuals that have a penchant for creating chaos, and are aptly named... the Chaos Corps."

"Like... the Green Lantern Corps from DC Comics?" Hanabata asked.

"No, you idiot. The shit they get into somehow manages to outdo each other like it's a competition," Chikazoku hissed. "AND apparently, two of them have said on the record that their goal is to seduce female members of every native species within the Special Region."

"Yes, according to the official report, they happen to be characters of interest, only second to the Yaoyorozu heiress, the squad's leader, along with a few others," Rikiya said.

"It's almost as if they were protagonists of a shitty shonen manga," Chikazoku grumbled.

"So, are they gonna be a problem?" Hanabata asked.

The CEO with the long nose and receding hairline snorted. "Hardly. Regardless of the insane stunts they pull, they still have managed to bring us all of this information."

"I agree, one's a zoologist, but got traumatized by the wildlife," the long-haired board member said. "Another's a mechanic, and always winds up in trouble with the others, somehow."

"The other two are a best friend duo, a geologist and a meteorologist, and they both share the same goal of… ugh, quote, "having a monster girl harem." Ugh…" Rikiya cringed.

"The scary thing is that they might actually pull it off," Chikzauko said.

"Fucking weebs…" Hanabata cursed. "They're even in other worlds now."

"Says you," Chikazoku muttered under his breath.

"Thankfully, they managed to keep it in their pants for the majority of their mission. Which allowed them to bring us a goldmine of intel. And since we're the only ones who have this for the time being, we have the advantage," the Deterat CEO smiled.

"Well, after skimming through this, it seems like that other world is a very terrifying place, but… aside from those threats, has the away team run into any of our country's main hostiles?"

Chikazoku immediately understood what Hanabata meant. "Ah, yes, the Empire…"

"Yes, them. As it turns out, the guys responsible for attacking Musutafu the day the gate arrived were soldiers of the Todoroki Empire, some sort of power-based hierarchy, where personal strength matters most, and where there's no room for weakness. Real-life social Darwinists."

Hanabata looked at Rikiya in a funny way. "Wait, Todoroki? Isn't that a Japanese name?"

"Yes, there are several cases of eastern-based names, along with European ones, like the angel's name, which happens to be "Melissa Shield." Not only that, their world's equivalent to English is Latin, so it's not that big of a surprise that some of their cultures are similar to ours."

Chikazoku re-read the report, trying to figure out what he was missing. "Ah, but, Yotsubashi-san, Rome is on the other side of the world, how would OUR culture get there?"

"Honestly, no clue," Rikiya responded to Chikazoku. "Yaoyorozu's report had nothing about that, but maybe they'll have something during their second outing, so let's be patient."

"Not even minding the place, could something like this have happened before?" Hanabata asked. "Like, say, another gate opening up elsewhere during early human history?"

"Probably. According to the Shield woman, the reason no one ever created a settlement near the Collibus Hills was because the gate would activate at random, and absolutely no one wanted to find out what was on the other side," Rikiya paraphrased the report. "Regardless of how several human cultures showed up there, the fact also remains that there are several, sapient, non-human species inhabiting that world."

Chiazkuko and Hanabata listened closely.

"Now, the real question is… how do we deal with them? Do we propose giving them rights, making them customers, or what? I have no idea, honestly," Rikiya sighed.

"Giving non-humans rights, in our world, where they are not even inhabitants? I don't think that's viable," said the long-haired board member of Feel Good, Inc.

"Well, they're alive, they can think. I don't think dehumanizing them is gonna be a good idea."

Chikazoku mulled over what Hanabata said. "Maybe… but if we can convert them to customers, or even suppliers at lower rates, that could be lucrative for both Detnerat and Feel Good, Inc."

"Hmm, maybe. We could introduce them to modern appliances, have them hooked on that lifestyle, like some kind of cargo cult," Rikiya said. "But it's going to be risky."

"We can discuss it later," Chikazoku said. "There are a few other things in this report…"

"Ah, yes, "magic." Honestly, we'll probably need to figure out if there's a way to replicate that in our world," Rikiya said. "The potential applications from that would be unimaginable."

"So we could do some Doctor Strange shit?" Hanabata excitedly asked. "That, and I'm also getting some major Seven Deadly Sins flashbacks."

Melissa simply watched as the Japanese Self-Defense Force expanded.

It had been a few days since Momo and the rest of the Exploration Unit went on leave, and for the moment, Melissa had been somewhat bored. When Kayama and Aizawa weren't asking her questions, she was simply told to try and mingle with the soldiers.

Easier said than done, as most of them were either intimidated by her celestial status, or were too busy helping expand their reach beyond the Collibus Hills Gate. There were even rumors that Aizwaw approved Momo's proposal, and they were now building a town.

Maybe one of –

"HELLO THERE! IT IS NICE TO MEET YOU!"

"GYAAH!"

For the first time in a while, Melissa felt a spike of fear as one of the soldiers appeared out of nowhere and started shouting. After calming down, she took a better look at the man. He had very short dark hair, and eyes that betrayed his Japanese heritage.

He also seemed to be constantly… grinning?

Clearing her throat, Melissa said, "Oh, um… right… Who are you?"

The man stared at her blankly for a few seconds, before he suddenly punched himself in the face. "HOW STUPID OF ME! I FORGOT TO TELL YOU! HI, I'M INASA YOARASHI!"

Samuel Abraham, President of the United States, did not like what he was hearing.

"What in the hell does Japan think it's doing?" he asked himself. "They send an entire division across the gate, and then send only fourteen soldiers to explore the rest of the world?"

"Sir, it was their first mission, and it was to understand the sort of world they're now connected to," Cathleen Bate, the Secretary of Defense, said. "A purely scientific expedition –"

"Oh my God, they're missing out!" President Abraham wanted to laugh. "They've stumbled across a goldmine of untouched resources, and they're just gonna let it sit there?! That does nobody any good. Hey, don't we have guys in Shizuoka? Why not send them in?"

"I don't think that's a good idea," Cathleen said. "Sir, the other world leaders are hoping Japan will drop the ball on this one. The thought is to simply let Japan fail on its own this time."

"Interesting… we don't want to get pulled down with them. Plus, if we do try to take action, we'll have to use more… covert means. Plausible deniability is a good friend to have."

As the President dismissed Cathleen, she walked out of the room in disgust. She used to be a five-star general, dedicated to protecting her country. But all she saw during her long career was old geezers like Abraham trying to cling to power and money. It sickened her.

She hated how she had to use his language of manipulation to get him from doing anything stupid like sending the army to try and seize the gate for themselves. In her honest opinion, if Japan were to keep the gate and its potential resources all to themselves, all the better.

At least she knew it would be in safer hands than in her country's.

"Okay, moving on to the actual local wildlife, we should probably go over each type and figure out how to deal with them," Rikiya said, already salivating at the thought. "Who knows? Maybe their meat is delectable and their hides valuable!"

"I'm afraid we'll have to do it later, sir. I have to get back to work," Chikazunko said, as he stood up. "Send me anything else important that came up in the report."

"Very well, we shall continue this later! Keep up the good work and all that!"

"Meeting adjourned?" Hanabata asked.

"For now," Rikiya said. "We shall return to this subject soon enough."

Chikazoku left the room, waving them good-bye. "So long, Koku, Yotsubashi-san."

"Alrighty," Hanabata said, standing up. "I'm gonna go get drunk. Later, sir."

With both of his trusted colleagues gone, Rikiya Yotsubashi was left all alone.

Leaning back on his chair, he groaned, "Ugh. Being a boss is rough."

Momo felt refreshed when she came back from her week-long break.

She had spent her week going on a hard-earned shopping spree all across the boutiques in Japan, and now, she was ready to return to service and get back into action.

Dressed in her basic military uniform, she flashed her rank and identification to the guard at the front of the gate, and was allowed to pass. The walk towards the other side was quiet, if a bit dark and cold, but when she emerged to the other side, she was back.

And the first person to greet her back was…

"Ah! Lieutenant Yaoyorozu! Welcome back!"

Momo smiled. "It's good to see you, Melissa. How was your week?"

"I believe I integrated well with the remaining soldiers here at base. I made a particularly fond connection with one of the pilots for those flying machines, Yoarashi-san. Apparently, he knew Sargent Bakugou from high school, and was his best man at Bakugou's wedding!"

"Bakugou is married?" Momo asked. "I didn't see a ring on him."

"Perhaps he feared he would lose it on the expedition, so he didn't bring it along?"

"Who knows? Regardless, I'm glad to see that you had a fruitful week."

"Yay, good for you," Kaibara sarcastically said, as he walked up to the group, alongside Tsuburaba. "Meanwhile, me and Kosei had to stay back for "harassment training.""

"You two had that one coming, to be honest," Melissa said.

"Regardless," Momo cut in. "Has everyone arrived?"

"Yes, everyone else is present and accounted for," the blonde angel said. "In fact, you were the last one to arrive, Lieutenant. Were you being fashionably late, or simply unprofessional?"

Momo honestly couldn't tell if Melissa developed sass over the week.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" Momo asked, entering Aizawa's office.

"Indeed," the older man said. "While you were out for the week, I discussed your proposal of integrating some of the locals here with a few key government officials. Congratulations, Lieutenant Yaoyorozu, you're now the leader of Operation: Cultural Integration."

Momo blinked in surprise at the news. "This is for real?"

Aizawa nodded. "Yep. Not only will the JSDF be constructing a new town here in the Collibus Hills, you and your crew will be responsible for convincing the locals to move here."

"I see. Is there anything else, sir?"

"There is. In addition, all members of your squad will now have full-body cameras on their uniforms. Apparently, the higher-ups didn't really believe all of the insane shit that you went through, so this time around, you're also gonna be getting full video evidence."

"Understood, sir."

"We're also sending a few squads to investigate the areas you've already been to, to gather more information and talk to the locals you met there," Aizawa added. "However, going to new and unexplored territories is still the SREU's job. Think you can still manage it?"

Momo saluted her commanding officer. "More than capable, sir!"

"Glad to hear it. Now, come on. I've gotta give a speech to your team before you head out."

"All right, listen up!" Aizawa shouted. "Thanks to your team's efforts, we have a somewhat understanding of the world around us. However! We still have more to learn, and thus, you will be going out there for another month to gather more evidence! Dismissed!"

As Yaoyorozu took command and ordered everyone to prepare the vehicles for immediate departure, Eijiro smiled and turned over to the team's demolitions expert.

"You hear that Bakubro?" Eijiro smiled. "Even more adventures!"

"Uh-huh, yeah, sure," the blond said, uncharacteristically calm.

The artificial redhead wondered if he was all right, but decided to leave him alone, for now. Heading over to his designated car, he saw his commanding officer already waiting. "If the smile is anything to go off of, I take it that General Aizawa gave you some good news?"

"Indeed he did," Yaoyorozu said. "My proposal for creating a town around the base here was approved. Our secondary mission, alongside exploring this world, is inviting the local inhabitants to emigrate to the Collibus Hills, to help integrate Japan into this new world."

"You came up with that?" Ejiro gasped. "That's super manly!"

Yaoyorozu smiled. "Yes, as of now, "Operation: Cultural Integration" is a go!"

"Well, if that's the case, I already know of a place south of here!" Melissa said. "We could go to the hidden village there and ask some of the locals if they'd like to come here."

"That… is very considerate of you," Yaoyorozu said. "I gladly accept."

"Great! I've got the map, you can tell Awase where to drive!"

"Glad to hear that," Yaoyorozu said, as she entered the car. "Now, let's head out."

As the two of them headed in, Eijrio smiled. This was gonna be so much fun!

And with that, the LAVs left the base and the outskirts of where the new town was beginning construction, with the Special Region Exploration Unit's second mission having begun!

Author's Note: The second arc of this adventure starts… now!

I should have expected only one comment, but what a comment it has been!

Hansledane: Hope you enjoy Megethos! Glad you also liked the last chapter, it took me a lot of effort to make Aizawa's frustrations readable, and I'm happy to see that it came out as such a banger! Also, all of the evidence you presented for Melissa and Izuku being in cahoots, from the way Melissa worded things to the fact that Izuku hasn't done anything malicious, is pretty compelling. Can't wait to see your comment for this chapter!
