Playing around

Mineta wanted to leave since this conversation took a lot of his time, but suddenly All-Might called him up.

"Mineta-kun, can we talk?"

"...I haven't eaten lunch." Mineta didn't want to talk.

"It's okay. I have prepared lunch for you." All-Might showed a lunch box shyly.

"....."

Mineta knew that he couldn't escape, but he hoped that the lunch wouldn't be handmade since the thought of eating a handmade lunch cooked by All-Might made him conflicted.

---

"How is it?"

"... it's good."

Mineta felt conflicted as he ate the lunch prepared by All-Might.

"Thank god. I don't know what your taste is." All-Might sighed in relief since the food matched Mineta's taste.

"....."

Mineta could only stay silent as he hypnotized himself into the fact that he was eating food made by a woman, but when he saw the skeleton-like All-Might, it was hard for him to do so.

After they sent off the madam president, All-Might brought him to his private room. It was a private room, which was usually used by him to talk with Midoriya and talk about many things with him.

Still, as they ate lunch, neither of them talked about what All-Might wanted to say. Instead, they talked about the lunch since it seemed All-Might made the food by himself.

"Do you want me to make it for you again?"

"Sorry, no."

"Why?"

"I can't eat much, and my girlfriend usually prepares it for me."

Mineta didn't lie since sometimes his girlfriends made lunch for him.

"...."

All-Might wasn't sure how that felt, but having someone that you cared about preparing warm and delicious food full of love must be a great thing. Instead of his lunch, he also felt that it was normal for Mineta to want to eat the lunch prepared by his girlfriend more.

As they finished their food, Mineta thanked All-Might. "Thanks for the food."

"It's okay. It's okay."

"So, do you want to talk about Midoriya?"

"Haha..." All-Might laughed awkwardly. "You could guess it?"

"I think there is no other reason for you to call me here except for that."

Except for Midoriya, All-For-One, and One-For-All, Mineta didn't think that All-Might would talk about other things.

"Well, Midoriya is one thing, but there is another thing that I want to talk about with you."

"Oh?"

"However, you can already guess the reason why you were asked to have an internship in Endeavour's office, so I won't talk about this matter anymore."

"I see..." Mineta nodded. "Thank you for worrying about me, but with great power comes great responsibility. When I have become powerful, I know that there is something that I have to do."

"Mineta-kun..." All-Might was moved by Mineta's words once again and realized that this guy was even more perfect as his inheritor, but when he thought about the limitation of One-For-All, he could only sigh.

Midoriya...

When All-Might thought about this name, he thought it was a good boy who wished to become a hero, especially when he dared to save his friend, even if he was powerless. However, the more he learned Midoriya, the more headaches he had.

The only good thing about Midoriya was that Midoriya wished to become a hero, and he wouldn't become a villain.

This is the only good thing about Midoriya.

Other than that, All-Might wasn't sure what to say since Midoriya wasn't exactly talented.

No, Midoriya was a mediocre boy with an obsession with becoming a hero.

Was his decision to give such power to such a boy correct?

However, if he didn't give that power to Midoriya, who should he give it to? Especially when he knew about the limitations of that power. He didn't want to murder Mineta.

"All-Might."

"Ah, yes!"

All-Might was woken up by Mineta's voice.

Mineta had already stood up while facing the window.

All-Might couldn't see Mineta's expression, but he could see his large back, which was reliable.

"I am not sure what you are worrying about, but I think it is normal for you to worry."

"...it's normal?"

"It's your first time to have this type of relationship, and Midoriya is a teenager, unlike you, who has seen a lot of things in life. Midoriya hasn't seen all of that. In his head, he is still full of idealism, thinking that he can do everything, especially after he has received your power. So your job at the moment isn't to worry about him."

"...my job is to worry about him?" All-Might was stunned.

"That's right." Mineta looked at All-Might with a smile. "Be like a parent who worries about their children. Be close like friends. Be strict like a teacher. Be everything to him. After all, he is the one that you have chosen. If you have time to be confused, you should think about how to make him a better person."

Still, Mineta didn't think it was possible since he could see how stubborn Midoriya was, so he didn't care much about Midoriya.

Midoriya was like this. He tried to force his opinion on others, trying to be kind and idealistic. However, if there was an opinion that didn't fit his thought, he would deny it with his might until the others accepted his point of view.

In other words, Midoriya was selfish.

However, this type of person was useful since they were easy to use.

As long as Mineta talked about justice, Midoriya would do it without hesitation, especially when Midoriya loved to stand under the spotlight.

All-Might was the same.

For him, this type of guy was the easiest to use.

"That's all that I can say. I won't say you're wrong, and I won't say you're right, but as long as he doesn't become a villain, it is all good, right?"

All-Might took a deep breath and nodded. "You're right."

As long as Midoriya wished to become a hero, everything was good.

"Okay, I will go back now. See you later."

"See you later."

Watching his back, All-Might thought that Mineta was really suitable to become his inheritor, yet he could only sigh since he knew it was impossible.

Midoriya, who was under house arrest, didn't know what kind of conversation Mineta and All-Might had at that moment, but if he knew, he would cry without a doubt. Still, when everyone returned, he realized that everyone was saying something he didn't understand, causing him to be at a loss and panicking.

However, everyone had agreed that they wouldn't say anything which happened in the class to Midoriya and Bakugou.

Still, Bakugou aside, Midoriya was frustrated.

"Huh? Mineta-kun, are you going somewhere?"

Unlike before, Mineta had changed his uniform into a casual outfit, but even so, when he wore it, he was so handsome. It was only a black t-shirt, cropped black pants, and black sneakers, though.

"I am going out to play. See you later."

He didn't explain much and quickly left.

"..." Everyone.

Play... they weren't sure what to say, but they had to say this guy was too free-spirited.

Still, the girls rolled their eyes since they knew that this guy was going to meet another woman.

However, Midoriya frowned since, as someone who aimed for the top, how could one be lazying around? Yet, he thought that it was also his chance since when Mineta was playing around, he would train harder, so he could defeat him and show that he was the best.

Still, even if Mineta knew what Midoriya was thinking, he didn't think anything since, at this moment, he was looking at Nejire's veranda.

"Senpai!"

Mineta waved his hand quietly.

"Come in! Come in!"

Nejire gestured for him to come to her room by climbing quietly.

Frankly, this request was unbelievable, but for him, it was an easy thing. He quickly climbed into Nejire's room, and she quickly pulled him into her room.

As for what they were doing, it was just a simple child-making process.
