MHA: Living as a Mineta is hard

When Mineta arrived at his class, he couldn't help but sit on his seat with relief. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and wondered about his dismaying future. Still, he felt that there should be a better way to handle Kendo's feelings back then, and he also shouldn't have been too hasty last night.

He shouldn't have made the first move. Instead, he should let the girls make the first move since their relationship had become complicated because of this matter.

His way of handling a woman had always been calm and steady, so he had never made the first move.

It was like Ibara's case in the past since she was the one who confessed to him in the first place.

However, last night, while Kendo wasn't the only one who made the first move, he also moved his lips closer when she was about to kiss him.

He rubbed his glabella, wondering why he did all of that.

Was it the effect of "Quirk?"

"....."

He dreaded with fear as he tried to calm himself.

'No, no, no... let's not think too much. It might be because of the hormone...'

In other words, he was just in the heat, that's all.

However, if he was calmer, he could handle his relationship with Kendo in a better way.

In other words, he should be like an arsonist. He was free to spread the fire everywhere, but he shouldn't be the one who put off or burnt the fire even more. Everything was the choice of the girls, and all he did was provoke them.

Yet he must admit that having a high-risk relationship would give him a high return on the system.

However, he didn't regret his decision since it was something he had decided, and it would be too cruel for Kendo if he regretted it. He could only say that it was a lesson for him in the future in case something similar happens.

Still, two were enough for him, and he didn't need more (hopefully).

Suddenly, he couldn't help but smile ironically since even though he had thought he wasn't good at this kind of thing, he knew well how talented he was at this deceitful act.

While he was in the middle of a thought, suddenly, he realized that someone had invaded his personal space. He was startled and speechless. His muscles were tense, but he tried not to escape since this was a good thing.

"...What are you going, Yaoyorozu-san?"

"Ah!"

Momo was startled and blushed when she realized they were so close. She pulled her head away quickly and said, "Please, don't misunderstand!"

'No, your every action will cause a misunderstanding.'

"I just wondered why something smelled so good, and I found the source of that smell was you."

"...So my smell is good?"

"Yes."

"Now that you mention it, your smell is really good."

"It's like the smell of the darkness of beans."

"You mean coffee, right?"

"Yeah, it feels like we're in a high-class coffee shop."

"Oh, that's the one!"

Somehow many people gathered around him when he was in the middle of a thought. He wondered why they were so excited about his smell, but he knew that it was the effect of the coffee manipulation. Ibara and Kendo also told him a similar thing before, but it was because he wanted to mask Kendo's scent, so he intensified the smell of coffee on his body.

His coffee manipulation was a good ability, considering it could be used in many things, including a stimulant.

It also gave him the knowledge of the barista, so he could brew a good coffee. While his barista knowledge hadn't reached Barista (Master), it should be at least Barista (Expert).

If he wanted to raise his barista mastery to "Master," he would need to pay 20,000 points.

Frankly, it wasn't cheap.

While he now gets 2,000 points daily, he was still in the middle of saving points to buy "Pop Off" (Expert), so he decided to put this matter aside.

Still, he could handle this matter later since many people around him wanted to talk with him, so he spoke with them in a friendly way.

Toru Hagakure, Mashirao Ojiro, Eijirou Kirishima, Izuku Midoriya, Iida Tenya, Ochanko Uraraka, Jirou, Sero, Momo, and Tokoyami.

He felt that this place was like a market, but anyway, he introduced himself to the people that he didn't know, so they could become friends.

"Mineta-kun, why is your neck red?"

Izuku suddenly asked innocently.

His heart almost stopped, but he rubbed his neck helplessly and said, "It might be a mosquito. It's quite itchy."

How could he say this was a hickey?

Fortunately, Ibara and the rest didn't notice this before.

He used his substance and hid the red mark on his neck as he rubbed his neck while thinking Kendo was so wild.

"There's a lot of mosquitoes in the spring, right? It's annoying!"

Somehow, Uraraka started to complain about the mosquito, and some also agreed that there were many mosquitos this season. Still, some said that the mosquitos only appeared in the summer.

Yet, as they spoke, Momo always asked them questions.

"Um... do mosquitoes really bite on people? Why have I never been bitten by it?" Momo was confused since they all had experienced being bitten by mosquitoes, but she had never been bitten, which somehow made her feel left out and sad.

"........" Everyone.

"It's because you're an Ojou-sama," Mineta said calmly, wondering whether he should become a mosquito for Momo. He should bite her plump body, leaving a red mark on her body.

Jiro also nodded. "That's right. It's because you're an Ojou-sama."

Others also agreed and teased Momo with an "Ojou-sama" nickname.

Still, Iida was too rigid, straight, like an unbent stick. He couldn't help but reprimand them when he watched them make fun of Momo. "Hey, you can't make fun of your classmates like that!"

Momo, who was helpless, sighed in relief when she heard someone trying to help her.

"It's just a joke between friends, Iida, or have you never done that before?" Mineta asked.

"Oh, if that's the case, then it's okay." Iida gave a firm nod.

"........."

Momo was speechless and glanced at Mineta since she knew everything had started because of him. Honestly, it was her first time feeling like this. It was fun but also annoying. At the same time, it was hard for her to get him out of her mind, but her mind was gloomy when she thought this guy had a girlfriend.

Knowing him, she realized many emotions she didn't know started to sprout inside her heart.

Anyway, as they talked to each other, they started to know each other. Their relationship warmed up and became closer, but soon they parted since the class was about to start.

While many joined this conversation, many also didn't join, but he didn't bother to invite them since some people were just unfriendly, and he was too lazy to accommodate them.

However, his progress was good since he had almost influenced half of the students in his class.

Many people might doubt what he was doing since his action was troublesome, and they thought it was useless, but the effort he exerted on socializing would give him great benefit in the future.

As the class started, he sat down in his seat, wondering what his first lesson would be, but he realized the lesson was more normal than he had thought. Everyone also felt the same until it was time to have lunch.

He invited Sero, Midoriya, and Tokoyami to have lunch, to which they agreed. Momo, Jiro, and Toru also joined their group, along with the rest who wanted to join.

"Shoji-san, we're going to have lunch together. Do you want to have lunch together? I have heard the cafeteria in this school tastes good and cheap."

While he hadn't visited the cafeteria, Kendo told him about the cafeteria this morning. He wasn't sure how, but this girl always had something he talked about with him.

If with Ibara, it was like a quiet but enjoyable and warm moment.

Then, his time with Kendo was like an unstoppable storm, but in the middle of a storm, there was this gap she always showed an unexpected side, which made her cute.

The two girls were special, and it would be great if they could accept each other.

Shoji Mezo, who was invited, was surprised since it might be the first time something like this had happened. However, when he thought about his mouth, he hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Mineta asked.

Shoji looked at Mineta for a moment, who looked at him with a sincere smile, then made a mouth with one of his tentacles and said, "Okay, let's have lunch together." He might not have realized it, but his mouth made a curve-like smile.

Still, suddenly...

"Kacchan, do you want to have lunch together?"

Mineta looked at Midoriya, feeling speechless by Midoriya's chummy way of calling Bakugou, but he didn't stop him from inviting Bakugou.

Still, even though Midoriya seemed frightened, he invited Bakugou out.

"Ha? Do you want to die, Deku? Just go out and have lunch with those merry friends or yours!" Bakugou exploded and walked away.

"....."

"What's with him?"

A boy, whose name was Kaminari Denki, frowned.

Some were quite displeased by Bakugou's rude remark, but Mineta said, "They might know each other, and we don't understand their relationship, so it is better not to talk without knowing anything. It is also a waste of time to talk bad about people behind their backs, especially when we want to become heroes. Anyway, I am hungry. Let's go to the cafeteria."

Hearing his words, they thought for a moment before they nodded. They had decided to become a hero, and talking bad about people behind their backs definitely wasn't one of the qualities of a hero. They were also hungry, so they left the class together to go to the cafeteria.

When he saw many people follow him, he somehow felt he had become a gang leader.

Still, he saw Midoriya approach him.

"Mineta-kun, thank you," Midoriya said with a sigh of relief and a shy smile.

"......."

Mineta looked at Midoriya for a moment and felt this boy was peculiar, but he didn't care, so he only nodded.

"No problem."

However, he put some distance from Midoriya since he was slightly afraid of a certain possibility of this boy.
