Kamakura, what a beautiful city

While the two sat on the bench, Mineta naturally held her hand and started to think about her question.

Frankly, Ibara's Quirk was strong.

Even though he defeated her, it didn't mean she was weak.

In the entire Kamakura, no one should be able to defeat her, probably.

If Ibara was serious, she might even defeat some Pro Heroes. However, she felt she might not be strong enough since she was easily defeated by him.

Still, even if she was stronger, his sticky substance was stronger since it was impossible to escape from its stickiness.

Yet, he wasn't satisfied, and he wanted to become stronger.

However, his way to becoming stronger was unique, and before he became stronger, he had to fix his height and "wee-wee" first.

As he had said before, this world was dangerous.

The world might be lucky since only a few people had the ability to destroy a country or two.

Still, the only person he knew to be able to do that was "All Might." Fortunately, he was like a saint and only moved because he wanted to save people.

However, what about in the future?

What if someone was born with a "Quirk" that could destroy the world?

The "Quirk" was a unique ability, and everything could naturally happen.

If someone was born with the ability of nuclear manipulation, disaster, destruction, and mind manipulation, he knew that the world would be in chaos.

Still, instead of a society that forced everyone to live like they didn't have a superpower, he felt that the world should fix on how society should be from now on instead of working on advanced technology since it didn't help anything instead of making few people in the world become rich and lived convenience slightly.

While he didn't deny the advantage of the advancement of technology, it only helped a few people who were wealthy enough to use those convenient technologies.

For those people who lived at the bottom, the advanced technology didn't help them at all.

Yet this wasn't something he should think about.

While he had become stronger, he was still nothing. He wasn't rich and didn't have fame or authority. Instead of thinking about something far away, it was better to think about how to make his life more comfortable.

"Besides the muscle training with your vines, you should think about what your vines can do?"

His matter could be solved as long as he had time.

However, he also thought of helping Ibara.

Still, was it good to help, Ibara?

After all, if Ibara had become stronger, his life would have been harder.

In case there might be a problem between them, he might be crucified by her in the future.

'However...'

He looked at Ibara, who looked at him shyly, and with a cute expression.

He wanted to kiss her somehow.

"...I want to kiss."

"Ehhh?!"

Ibara was startled and let out a cute voice before she blushed.

"Ah, um, sorry."

Mineta coughed hard and showed his embarrassment. "Let's see if we talk about vines, then there are many things that you can do, you know?"

"...For example?" Ibara pouted slightly since this guy had changed the topic of conversation, but she was happy since she wasn't the only one who thought she wanted to kiss. After all, it would be terrible if she was the only one who was lewd in their relationship.

'Oh Lord, please forgive this weak lamb for not being able to fight this temptation.'

Mineta wasn't sure why this girl suddenly prayed, but it didn't stop him from talking.

"Poison."

"Poison?" Ibara was dumbfounded.

"Aside from that super strength or simple ability, everyone has unlimited potential with their abilities." Mineta released the sticky substance in his hands and shaped it into the shape of a spear. "You can see that my "Quirk" can be shaped into any different shapes now, right? Before, my "Quirk" could only be released as a ball, but now it can change to any shape I want to. In your case, you should be able to do the same."

He grasped her vine-like hair and caressed it gently. Unlike before, her thorny vines were soft and weren't that spiky anymore. It was nice to touch and felt so soft.

Ibara blushed and felt shy by this intimate gesture.

"Length, sharpness of your thorns, strength, durability, poison, there are many ways to make your "Quirk" stronger, but the best point of your "Quirk" isn't all of that."

"What's the best part of my "Quirk"?" Ibara asked curiously.

"Growth."

"Growth?"

"Like a plant, they can grow everywhere, even with a limited nutrient from the soil. However, you can only use your energy, and your energy is limited. You'll be exhausted if you use your "Quirk" too much."

Ibara nodded since this was her weakness.

"Then, to offset that weakness, how about you absorb that energy from the earth?" Mineta said.

"Absorb energy from the earth?" Ibara was dumbfounded.

"Like a root."

"Root."

Her eyes brightened, and she thought about a lot of possibilities after she was able to make her hair into roots. She didn't have to move and just had to stay in place. All she had to do was grow her vine-like hair as much as possible, like a swarm.

Frankly, Ibara's "Quirk" was amazing.

If she could absorb energy from the earth, then shouldn't she be able to absorb energy from humans?

What if she could also do photosynthesis like a plant?

If she could do so, she was simply unstoppable since she would have unlimited energy.

Anything that plants could do, she should be able to do it.

However, it was better not to say anything about this matter since her power should be enough to allow her to successfully enter the "U.A. High School."

Lastly, human energy was limited.

It was impossible for Ibara to develop her "Quirk" all the time.

She also needed to learn normal knowledge such as English, Modern Japanese, science, mathematics, and social studies.

They talked for a while until the sun started to set onto the horizon, and the sky turned orange.

Mineta must admit that he was glad to live in Kamakura since he could see this beautiful sunset every day.

'Kamakura... what a beautiful city.'

On the other hand, Ibara didn't care about the beautiful sunset since she had been staring at Mineta.

"Minoru-kun."

"Hmm?"

"Do you want to kiss?"

Mineta ignored the sun and looked at Ibara, who was shy with a dumbfounded expression. His expression was quite subtle, but he nodded firmly. "Yes."

Ibara must admit that she loved this part of him, who had never lied to his desire, yet he still tried to hide it so he would appear polite.

'I don't mind if you're rough on me, though.'

Ibara thought inwardly.

If Mineta knew what she was thinking, he would be rough on her, but his short height made it hard for him to be rough on Ibara.

Still, the chance to kiss Ibara's lips was right before him.

He wouldn't let go of this chance.

Ibara saw that her hand was grasped by him and Mineta closed the distance between them. Fortunately, they sat next to each other, so the difference in their height wasn't that much.

She closed her eyes shyly and eagerly before she felt his lips on hers.

'It tastes like a grape...'

She was in a daze since she thought her first kiss would feel like a strawberry, but she had never expected it would be like a grape.

Their kiss started to slow before they began to have a deep kiss. They were thirsty, two people who hadn't drunk water for an entire day before they found an oasis. They kept drinking like there was no tomorrow.

The taste of kissing their loved ones was more pleasurable than they could imagine.

Ibara couldn't think straight, and her brain felt like it was melting. She could only keep apologizing to god since she knew she had become a sinful woman trapped by pleasure.

'Ah god, please forgive me.'

<As you have taken Shiozaki Ibara's first kiss, you have received a "Color Manipulation" ability (Expert)>

When they lost their breath and parted their lips, it was like the sound of a suction cup being pulled. Their lips were slightly swollen, but when their gazes met, they decided to start the second round.

However, Mineta decided to accept his reward immediately since there was something that he wanted to hide, considering its size was still unsatisfactory.

'Wait...'

When they became high school students, he wouldn't let this girl go.
