Ant King In MHA

Chapter 54: Response



__________ POV Beru__________

The night has been a lot of fun.

But Nemuri is clearly too drunk to think things thoroughly. As I've said, she wasn't all that interested in me (at least not in that way). I doubt she suddenly started liking me.

All of these guys got carried away tonight. Nemuri had a lot of fun with me, but I really doubt she will feel good about it in the morning. No, she'd most likely regret it.

Basically, I have the choice of accepting Nemuri's proposal, going for a one night stand with a gal that's clearly drunk beyond cohesion.

By doing that, I'd ruin any type of relationship I had with her previously, and ruin any trust she and the other teachers had in me.

Well, maybe not to that great an extent, but I doubt they'd look at me in the same way. If this was me in the past I wouldn't even blink before accepting this proposal.

But things have kind of changed now. I need to act more responsible I guess. There's also no way for me to justify this course of action if I were to take it.

I also can't use the 'Drunk' excuse since Nezu, Aizawa and Toshi were all awake and saw me being perfectly sober.

So I will obviously (regretfully) refuse this invitation...

Now that I think about it, there's also Toga, who's likely waiting for me at my dorm room (it's almost like she doesn't have one of her own).

"Heyyy~Why are you jst standing der?" She managed to spit out an entire sentence.

I put both my hands on her shoulders and just told her. "You should get some rest~ After all, It's already past midnight~,"

A shitty joke, but just about anything can make this woman laugh at this point. She just cackled loudly as she opened her door.

"Your loss! G-Night~," She said as she stumbled her way inside(at least she managed to unlock it). But she forgot to even close the door.

I closed it, locked it from the outside, and teleported the key inside, on the ground in front of the door. (Kurogiri's quirk is really useful)

Do I regret this already? A bit, I mean, she's pretty hot. But I'd probably regret it more if I did go inside.

Oh well, back to my usual business. Taking them to Giran was quite random, but I don't really know any other place that might accept me as a customer.

Giran will move his place after tonight. I mean, it would be weird if he didn't. But that's a good thing.

I kind of want that to happen. After I join this 'organisation' I will want any criminal that I was on good terms with to flee the province.

Well, there's only Giran. And I think I've accomplished that.

It won't be that hard to find him anyway. In case I ever need him in the future.

I'll just have to 'kindly ask' some of his old regulars. I doubt he'd just leave and not inform them at all.

Oh well, time to warp to my dorm. It's already kinda late, I kinda hope Toga is sleeping, to be honest.

I let the purplish mist swallow me whole and I reappeared in the middle of the dorm hallway. I opened the door slowly.

I didn't even get a good look at the room after I entered, Toga was already jumping on me. She struggled a bit, but she actually managed to climb me and put the knife on my throat.

Her legs were locked around my torso, one of her hands was on my shoulder while the other held the knife.

She stared me straight in the eye. A playful, and somewhat angry look present on her face.

I can tell she's not really gonna harm me, but it's still a bit 'scary'. Hmm, maybe unnerving is the right word?

"WHERE WERE YOU?" Oh shit. Maybe I should've told her about my outing?

"Umm~ I was out with some friends~," I said as I rubbed the back of my head. Completely ignoring the knife she has on my neck.

"And you didn't invite me?" She asked with a smile, but I somehow think it's not genuine... (maybe the knife is giving it away, who knows)

"Well~ We went drinking~ I figured you wouldn't be inte-" She didn't even let me finish, I could feel her legs hold tighten on my exoskeleton.

"It doesn't matter... YOU should've at least told ME about it. Understood?!" Now, she's getting a bit over herself.

"Toga~ I can appreciate a joke~ I can appreciate you caring about me~ But I think you are overreacting a bit~" My tone might've been a bit colder than I wanted it to.

But hey, I am tired. I really don't feel up to it tonight.

She looked a bit hurt, she jumped down from me, guiltily looked at the floor.

"I'm sorry..." At least she knows that she was a bit out of line there. I mean, I want to take care of her, but I don't like this 'obsession' she so easily developed.

God! This is why I don't date crazy chicks. I'm not even dating this one and she's already like this.

"Don't worry about it~ I'm not mad or anything~ We should probably go to sleep though~" I said as I picked her up and put her on my bed.

She just turned a bit red while I just lay right beside her. Eventually, she was back in her usual position on my bed, which is with her legs wrapped around me and a hand resting on my chest.

"I took the joke a bit too far..." She whispered a bit.

"It's fine~ I also could've been calmer about it~ We're both tired. Tomorrow is a big day after all...~" I stared at the ceiling while speaking to her.

She kept playing with my antennas, like repeatedly blowing them away.

"What's happening tomorrow?" She asked in a confused tone.

Did she forget that we will likely have to move tomorrow?

"The students come back~ I probably won't be able to walk around the campus as freely~ At least for tomorrow.~" Nezu will probably use the day to get in touch with that 'Hero Public Safety Commission.

So I don't have to bother for long. Now that I think about it, I can always just walk around invisible.

"I see... Well, good night." She really is tired huh? I guess she was a bit concerned, she likely waited for me the entire time (with the lights off now that I think about it).

And just like that, she drifted off to sleep and I also rested for a few hours. My rest was obviously filled with thoughts about ways to go about this predicament of mine.

Before I join this organisation, I will have to discuss a few things with them. I am sure my terms will be quite displeasing for them to hear. But I can be persuasive too.

I can handle this, I don't like the idea of putting my fate in someone else's hands again. I mean, I don't care about receiving orders, but I like having some degree of autonomy and flexibility.

Like I did when I was dealing with All for One. I liked joking around about it, but the 'terms' were quite lax when I was dealing with Shigaraki.

He was also somewhat entertaining to watch at times. Overall, I've had worse business deals. Waiting around in that bar was not unpleasant to me.

But, I don't really want a repeat of that, only this time without anyone to poke fun at. I can already guess the type of organisation this is.

I mean, it's not that hard to guess really, Nezu kind of laid it out for me in the meeting. It's a secret government organisation with its own agenda. And those are always shady.

Before I even realised it, it was already morning. Which means that it's time for me to wake Toga up(she's still snoring beside me).

I can escape her clutches without waking her up, but that would be quite rude.

I just retracted my claws and poked her cheek with my finger. I don't really want to cut her accidentally, I already got scolded for injuring her once.

"5 more minutes..." She muttered as she rolled around a bit and hugged a pillow. At least she released me from her clutches.

I can just get up and get ready for my day (which consists of taking a shower and cleaning my mandibles).

While I was doing that, Toga also lazily walked into the bathroom. I mean, I would be flustered, but I am always naked, so it doesn't matter.

My shlong is also hidden(inside my body)(kinda weird but convenient), so there's no reason to be shy about it.

She splashed some water on her face at the sink and proceeded to brush her teeth using my brush.

"That's unsanitary~," I said while cleaning my antennas and claws.

"Huh? Oh, it's fine, I always use yours anyway." Ummm... Ok? I guess I'll have to buy a new one and hide it. Or maybe I should pull a fast one on her and use hers instead?

I like to take care of my dental health (used to do it at the bar too)(well, hidden, but I still did it).

"...By the way. Your phone was buzzing earlier." She said as she took MY toothbrush out of HER mouth.

Nezu gave me a phone, that he could use to contact me when I'm in the room. I don't have pockets, so he just gave me an old model and told me to keep it around the room.

"I'll pick it up later~" I stepped out of the shower, Toga scooted a bit to the side and I stood beside her while taking her toothbrush and using it.

"No fair. I thought we were sharing one..." She sounds a bit disappointed, but I don't want to do something like that.

"Maybe some other time~," I said as I finished cleaning up my teeth quickly and went to call Nezu back(he's the only one that has my number)

I ruffled her hair as I left, undoing her bangs as she stood there flabbergasted for a second or two.

Then she angrily threw the toothbrush she was holding at my back. It just bounced on my back and landed on the floor. Shame, it was a perfectly good toothbrush.

"You jerk!" She shouted as I closed the bathroom door.

"Clean that up later!~," I shouted back as I left.

I reached the phone and called Nezu back, our conversation was quite interesting though.

Essentially, it all came down to completing our previous talk. Apparently, this guy didn't really sleep last night, he contacted the organization and set up a meeting for me.

Apparently, it's this afternoon. I am to get ready and avoid getting seen by the students for now.

I will be able to move freely after I manage to come to an agreement with the Public Safety Commission. They will handle clearing my name.

Apparently, they are already planning a 'redemption arc' for the public. Which is pretty dope.

Although, I might have to take a break for today, so no walking around for me. I have to prepare myself for this 'job interview'.

Hope you liked the chapter!

Hehe, You get no 18+ scene! (master baited)

I did compensate by giving u the Ant King shower scene(ur welcome)

Btw, mutant quirks are a thing in MHA, so not everyone is going to find his appearance disgusting (like I showed before with the bank teller and numerous others).

The vast majority won't, in fact(he just got unlucky in his childhood at the orphanage and hospital).
