SUCCEED YOUR PLAN! PART 2

Location: Royal Palace

After Izuku and his friends made plans to leave the kingdom, they went to meet the king to discuss the marriage of Shoto and Momo the next day. Only Prince Shoto, princess Momo, Izuku, and Kyoka who entered the royal throne room and met the king on his throne as well as several high-ranking royal officials were sitting in their respective seats.

"Your Majesty, I want to talk about my marriage with Prince Shoto," said Momo.

"How? Even though my son is a bit ugly with wounds on his face, he is quite strong as a prince of the northern kingdom," said King Endeavor.

"Todoroki-kun..." Izuku looked at Shoto who looked like he was holding back anger.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I can see for myself that Prince Shoto is strong. It's just that I want to give him a test to convince me that he is a prince worthy of me," said Momo.

"Test? Is this some kind of joke?" asked the king of Endeavor.

"No, Your Majesty, our kingdom does have a culture for the girl to give a boy who likes her a test to see how deep the boy's love is. And if you don't mind, I want to see how much love Prince Shoto has for me," replied Momo.

"Tch!... What should he do to get your attention?" asked the king.

"I want him to be an adventurer in our kingdom for one year" replied Momo.

"One year?!" exclaimed the king of Endeavor in surprise.

"That's enough time to show Prince Shoto's abilities as an adventurer" replied Momo.

"Sorry to interrupt your conversation, Your Majesty. But if I may know, what is the basis for the princess to give this test?" asked Ectoplasm.

"That's right, what is your reason?" asked the king of Endeavor.

"Apart from being a culture, I also want my husband to be an adventurer just like me, Your Majesty. And he must be strong and tough to get my heart," replied Momo.

"I didn't bring up this matter while talking to your father!" exclaimed the king of Endeavor.

"This is my own noble decision. My father asked me to marry Prince Shoto right away. But I don't want to just marry someone I don't know very well. So if Your Majesty doesn't mind, I want Prince Shoto to show me how deep his love is," Momo said.

"Tch... Alright, I agree with your request," replied the king of Endeavor.

"Is it true?" asked Momo.

"Yes, but I only gave 3 months. Shoto, as the prince of this kingdom you know what to do," replied King Endeavor.

"I know. You don't need to remind me every time you give me an order," replied Shoto.

"But three months..." Shoto cut off Momo's words.

"Too bad Princess. Once he makes a decision, it can never be changed. We better prepare ourselves to go to your kingdom," said Shoto as he left the throne room.

"Sorry to bother you, Your Majesty. I have permission to leave the throne room," said Momo before she, Izuku, and Kyoka followed Shoto out of the throne room.

Royal Palace Gardens...

Izuku, Shoto, Momo, and Kyoka tell Katsuki, Ochaco, Tenya, and Denki what happened in the throne room.

"Ha! Your father is really stubborn, " said Katsuki.

"Just like you, I guess," said Shoto.

"What did you say?!" Katsuki was annoyed.

"See?" said Shoto.

"I'm sorry, Prince Shoto. I can only help you like that" said Momo.

"Just call me by my name. That title doesn't deserve me," replied Shoto.

"Will three months be enough for us?" Izuku asked.

"Don't worry! If you train hard, you can become quite a strong adventurer," said Denki.

"You're too much. Besides, you are not suitable to say that because you have never practiced hard," Kyoka said.

"Jirou!" Denki is disappointed.

"Deku-kun, is there a problem?" asked Ochaco who saw Izuku who was a little pensive.

"N-nothing, I'm just a little surprised" Izuku replied.

"Why?" asked Tenya.

"When we were in the throne room earlier... I didn't see the Eraser Head. Is he not in the palace?" Izuku asked.

"That's right, Present Mic, Cementoss, and Midnight are also not in the throne room. It's not like they're usually not in the throne room," said Shoto.

"Then what if they're not in the throne room?" asked Ochaco.

"Wait a minute! Eraser Head, Present Mic, Cementoss, and Midnight. Aren't they royal officials who run competitions?" Izuku asked.

"!!" Ochaco, Tenya, Katsuki, and Shoto realized something.

"Oi! Oi! Oi! Don't tell me... " Katsuki started to look worried.

"I think they went to that mountain to find Kirishima-kun," Izuku said.

"Then what should we do?" asked Ochaco.

"Oi! Are you kidding me?! You've been thinking things like that and didn't tell us, you damn nerd!" exclaimed Katsuki irritated.

"Bakugou-kun! Previously, Midotiya-kun was only curious about the absence of an Eraser Head in the throne room," Tenya said.

"Iida's right, we can't blame Midoriya. Besides that we have to go to that place immediately and save Kirishima" said Shoto.

"Damn it! Why did something like this happen without our knowledge!" exclaimed Katsuki irritated.

"I predicted this would happen. But I never thought they acted faster than I thought," said Shoto.

"Then what should we do?" asked Ochaco.

"I will go to that mountain!" exclaimed Katsuki.

"Wait! Kacchan! We have to arrange a plan first" Izuku said while stopping Katsuki.

"No time for that! They might already be there! " Katsuki was getting angry.

"Bakugou-kun! Calm down! We have to think of a plan," Tenya exclaimed.

"I don't know when they left. I'm afraid they already there just like Bakugou said" said Shoto.

"I wish I had learned teleportation magic," said Ochaco.

"I'll go right now!" Katsuki tried to get away from Izuku and Tenya.

"Kacchan!" Izuku was still trying to prevent Katsuki from acting recklessly.

"Bakugou-kun!" Tenya helps Izuku.

"Let go of me!" exclaimed Katsuki who continued to rebel.

"Aaa...." a sweet singing voice began to be sung by Kyoka.

"Calm yourselves" Denki helps Kyoka with his guitar.

"What's this?" asked Shoto.

"This is their strength as a bard. We learn these things as adventurers," replied Momo.

"Somehow I became calmer," said Ochaco.

"I can't just stay here. He needs my help" muttered Katsuki.

"Don't worry, Kacchan. Kirishima-kun is also our friend. We will also help save him," said Izuku.

"We just need a plan," said Shoto.

"We think we can help," said Momo.

"Princess, are you sure?" asked Tenya.

"Just call me by my name. And of course, as adventurers, we can't stay silent if you have problems," replied Momo.

"We just need to calm down and arrange a plan," said Kyoka.

"Don't worry, we will be a big help for you" Denki boasted.

Izuku and his friends also arrange a plan to save Eijiro from being captured by Eraser Head and several other royal officials. With the help of Momo, Kyoka, and Denki, they devised a plan so that they could defeat the royal officials without resorting to violence.
