282 Gardening

Unlike the third and the second year, the internship for the first year wasn't done every day. Instead, it was done every weekend when the school was on holiday.

However, Mineta had to say that being a hero was really tough since he didn't even have a holiday.

If no one had helped him to take care of his needs every night, he might have been stressed. Fortunately, he had many girls who helped him, so he was quite refreshed every day.

Still, even if there was such a mission, his day didn't change much, and he lived like usual, but Kirishima was different since he was quite nervous and also couldn't stay calm, especially when he knew a little girl was hurt by the Shie Hassaikai.

However, this was normal, especially when considering Kirishima's hot-blooded nature.

As they talked to each other, Midoriya suddenly approached them. "Um, Mineta-kun, Kirishima-kun, does something bother you?"

The two turned and saw Midoriya.

Kirishima opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to tell Midoriya, but his shin was kicked by Mineta. He was startled before he looked at Mineta in confusion while rubbing his shin since it was quite painful until he suddenly realized something. "No, nothing, Midoriya!"

"Sorry, Midoriya. We can't talk about what is happening in our internship since we might cause trouble to our mentor."

"Ye-Yeah, you don't need to worry."

"Ah, um, I see..."

Midoriya also felt awkward, but he felt frustrated since he felt that someone was in need of help, yet he could do nothing and only stayed while doing nothing.

Was this okay?

As a hero, shouldn't he do something?

If Mineta had a mind-reading ability, he would kick Midoriya at this moment since this guy was so shameless.

As expected, as the main protagonist, Midoriya quickly forgot about his mistake and was quickly eager to show the world that he was a number one hero.

However...

"How is your remedial preparation?" Mineta asked.

"Ah, um, I am training now...' Midoriya answered awkwardly and only realized that he wasn't a hero now. Instead, he was just a student who was eager to become a hero. There was a big difference between them, but one thing was for sure if he wanted to join their conversation, he had to get his license first.

Mineta didn't bother to talk with Midoriya any longer and left.

Kirishima also followed since there were many things that he wanted to talk about Mineta.

Watching the two, Midoriya clenched his fists and had to make sure that he was going to succeed on his next exam, or else... he shuddered before he shook his head.

'No, I can do it!'

As he clapped his cheeks loudly, he regained his spirit and confidence, but even so, deep inside, he was still worried, wondering whether he could do it or not.

As the mission would take a while, Mineta decided to do his hobby. After he retired from the All-Tuber and anything which involved art, his new hobby was gardening. It might be autumn, but there were many types of plants, vegetables, and fruits that could be planted during this time. Nezu also supported his hobby and gave him an area in which he could plant freely. Nezu also sometimes joined him in tending the garden since it was a fun thing.

Tending a garden was like taking care of a pet or a child; watching them grow from the seed to delicious food was something that was exciting.

Usually, he would be accompanied by his girlfriends, but this time, they were quite busy getting stronger. As they wanted to get stronger since they didn't want to become a burden, they worked even harder, which made him feel strange sometimes.

"Mineta-kun?"

He looked up and saw Komori was there. "Yo, Komori-san." He was familiar with this girl since she also often joined him and his girlfriends. She also taught him many types of mushrooms, which she also grew next to his garden.

While he didn't realize it, he might have created a garden club on the Yuuei.

Nezu took the position of advisor, and many girls also joined in this activity.

Naturally, this club was quite exclusive, and not many people knew since, with Mineta's popularity, they were afraid this club might become a rowdy market.

"You're done with the training?"

"Un." Komori nodded. "Unlike the others, I only need to cultivate the mushroom."

"Oh..."

Komori's Quirk was related to mushrooms, and the better she learned about mushrooms, the stronger she was.

Still, while many people might look down on this Quirk, her Quirk was quite powerful, especially when it was used against a group. The mushrooms in this world were also different from his previous world, which made it more dangerous.

With that said, he also had a unique mushroom on his body, and it was definitely a great help for Komoro to learn it, especially when she wanted to grow stronger.

"By the way, are Ibara and the others still training?"

"Um." Komori nodded, and that was also why she came early. "They told me that they might be late." Which was something that she was looking forward to.

"I see..." He nodded. "Komari-san, can you teach me about mushrooms?"

"Sure!" She nodded with a bright smile.

The two then walked to the mushroom area, where they grew a variety of mushrooms. There were many types of mushrooms, from the most expensive, delicious, and even the poisonous ones.

Well, he might say that it was poisonous, but they just caused a hallucination.

Honestly, many mushrooms had a unique effect, and this was why they were interesting.

While listening to Komori, who happily taught him, he didn't say that he knew all of the knowledge she told him since he was simply a farmer master.

"Still, this one grows splendidly."

"Really? Is it uncommon?"

"Yeah, usually..."

As he listened to Komori's explanation, he was about to touch the mushrooms, but his hand happened to touch Komori's hand.

When their hands touched, they didn't pull away. Instead, they fell in silence as they gazed into each other's eyes. Suddenly, there was this ambiguous atmosphere that grew before them. This atmosphere was quite subtle, and it was something that usually appeared between lovers.

Even if they didn't say anything, he knew what she wanted to do, and he also wasn't so stupid to let go of this chance. Even if she rejected him, she would just push him away, so there was no harm in trying it.

She was shy and happy, but she was also nervous, especially when he moved closer. His movement was slow as he was about to approach her. She could tell that he was about to kiss her. This was wrong. After all, he had a girlfriend, but she didn't pull away, nor did she push him. She knew what she wanted, and she was excited about what they were about to do.

Her heart was beating so fast that she closed her eyes as she felt his lips against her.

The two pressed their lips for a moment before a lewd sound of their lips started to echo through the garden.

Fortunately, they were alone, and no one could see what they were doing.

As she became more excited, he thought that everything was so easy.

However, he stopped when his phone vibrated, and he saw that he got a notification that the mission was about to start, but his thought was quickly interrupted by this sweet voice.

"Hmm~! Mineta-kun, kiss me more..."

As she meekly asked him, he gave her another kiss.
