Chapter 3 - Fun Time

They waited for a few minutes until two people arrived. A fair-skinned girl who is prone to blushing and is frequently described as having a pretty face. She has inward-tilting yellow eyes with thin slit-like irises, somewhat resembling those of a cat, and her wide mouth is also rather feline, as her canines are pointed and longer than the rest of her teeth, giving her a vampiric appearance.

Her hair is a pale, ash-blonde color and is styled into two messy buns, with numerous wild strands sticking out, a straight fringe and two chin-length side bangs framing her face.

Another was a young woman of average height with straight, fawn-colored hair that reached just below her shoulders and large, dark brown eyes. She has noticeably plump and glossy lips as well as a quite curvaceous figure.

Their names were Himiko Toga and Camie Utsushimi. In the past, Izuku had met with Himiko when she was struggling with her quirk, sympathizing with her feeling of being alienated from society.

Her parents were arrested from child neglect and abuse while Himiko was adopted by her aunt and uncle who gave her the help she needed. This caused her to develop a crush on Izuku because she saved her and gave a chance to have friends who accept her.

"Zuku~ I want some blood." Himiko went close hugging Izuku arms playfully while Katsumi growled angrily at this.

"Get off him, you leech!" She yelled out while Himiko stuck out her tongue and said.

"Keep barking, you canine." Himiko smugly smiled, annoying Katsumi even more.

"Chill out, kacchan~. You know we can share him right?"

Camie went and took his other arms causing Izuku to blush a bit even though this happened often and still didn't want to be seen as a creep.

"G-Girls, can you let go?" Izuku tries to plead with them.

"No!"

"Nope~" Himiko and Camie said at the same time as Izuku controlled his teenage dragon's enhanced hormones.

As Katsumi was verge of exploding, Itsuka and Mizuna were jealous and annoyed but they are their friends and the reason why none of confesse is because they respect each other even Katsumi who despite acting like she was about to murder them hadn't tried confessing afraid that she isn't the one Izuku likes.

On the other hand, Izuku already got used to the interaction, unable to understand why they were clingy to him. Igneel watches this unfold amused at his foster son and hasn't voiced it yet because he believes that Izuku should be the one to learn it.

'As far as I remember, Natsu has two girls chasing him.' Igneel thought remembering his first foster son having a blonde and white haired chick who has interest in him.

"Hmhph!" Katsumi pouted while Camie giggled seeing her friend's reaction then turned to Itsuka.

"By the way, I'm surprised you're here, Itsuka. Don't you have training today?" Kendo quickly shook her head.

"My sensei dismissed us early and thought we should hang out." Itsuka said and they all nodded heading towards the train station to get to the city.

"Blurrgh…dam...dammit….this is getting wo—blurgh—orse every day." Izuku was currently having motion sickness getting nurses by the girls who drew lots on who to let him sleep on their lap.

Mizuna was excluded since she's too small much to her annoyance wishing that she gained the ability to transform. Even medicine wouldn't work and even devices wouldn't work because of how rapid his change is.

[ "That's because you're too strong for your own good. You reap what you sow." ] Igneel laughed at his foster son's suffering.

'I feel like you're enjoying me suffering….you sadist dragon.' Izuku angrily said that only made Igneel laugh even harder.

[ "I do. It's funny. But in all seriousness, it's a good sign that your strong, perhaps even as strong or stronger compare ro narsu the last time I've seen him." ] Igneel pondered how strong his son was now compared to the last time they saw each other. He was sure that he is definitely stronger than ever before.

"Gaaah…kill me now…blurgh." Izuku vomited in back while his friend comforted him even though Katsumi mocked him before but now felt worried for him.

"There there, Izuku." The one who won was Himiko letting him lay in her lap and Izuku was so occupied in his motion sickness that he didn't feel embarrassed.

"Still can't believe his quirk would have this weakness." Katsumi ramarked unaware it isn't a quirk rather it is magic. They had registered it as a quirk and simply labeled it as a fire quirk. After experiencing hell, Izuku is finally on solid ground and couldn't be happier.

"Finally!! I survived!" Izuku shouted, feeling refreshed and the girls were happy for him as he turned back to them.

"Are you guys ready to have some fun?" Izuku asked, his enthusiasm radiating.

"You bet!" Camie chimed in, twirling a strand of her hair.

"I'm gonna crush you all at the racing games."

"In your dreams," Katsumi retorted, a competitive spark igniting in her eyes.

"I'm taking the top spot." As they reached the arcade, a cacophony of sounds and lights greeted them. The neon signs blinked invitingly, and the scent of popcorn and candy filled the air. They exchanged excited looks before diving into the sea of games.

Izuku made a beeline for the claw machines, his eyes gleaming with extreme focus.

"Need some luck?" Itsuka teased, sidling up beside him.

"I could give you a little help." She winked, her playful tone.

"I'll be fine, thanks," Izuku replied, flashing a smile. He inserted a coin and focused intently, maneuvering the claw with precision. The claw descended, gripped a plush toy, and, miraculously, held on all the way to the prize chute.

"Nice one, Izu-chan!" Itsuka shouted, genuine admiration in her voice despite the nickname

"Here you go, Itsuka. Hope you like it."

Izuku was able to win at the crane game that was scammed by how they manufactured and exploited its weakness from his clear understanding of machinery.

"Thank you, Izu-san."

She smiled while embracing the plush toy. Seeing her reaction made Izuku smile then surprised when the young girl kissed him on the cheek.

Itsuka blushed for her action then looked at the frozen izuku before giggling. Izuku, despite his self-esteem, is still prone to blush when it comes to women.

"Hehehe take that as thanks for this." Itsuka noticed Himiko pout while others were doing other games.

"I-I see. Anyway, let me get one for everyone." Izuku said it made Himiko happy.

Meanwhile, Camie and Katsumi had found their way to the dance machine. The pulsating beat of the music echoed through the arcade as they stepped onto the platform.

"Think you can keep up?" Camie challenged.

"Just watch me," Katsumi replied, her eyes narrowing in determination. As the game started, their feet flew across the sensors, each matching the rhythm with impressive accuracy. Camie's moves were fluid and graceful, while Mizuna's were precise and energetic. By the end of the song, both were breathless but grinning widely.

"That was awesome!" Katsumi exclaimed, high-fiving Camie.

"Totally," Camie agreed.

"You're really good at this." Itsuka, observing from the side, clapped her hands joining them.

"You two should enter a dance-off competition sometime."

Across the arcade, Katsumi and Himiko had found a shooting game as Izuku and Mizuna watched the two compete. They stood side by side, guns at the ready.

"Let's see who's the better shot," Katsumi challenged. Himiko's smile turned into a sly grin.

"You're on."

The game began, and both girls fired at the virtual targets with unerring accuracy. Katsumi's shots were fast and precise, reflecting her intense focus. Himiko, on the other hand, displayed an almost unsettling calmness, hitting each target with a cool, calculated ease. The game ended in a tie, and they turned to each other, breathing heavily but smiling.

"Not bad," Katsumi admitted.

"Same to you," Himiko replied, her tone unusually sincere. The group reconvened near the photo booth, laughing and sharing stories of their victories and near-misses.

"Let's get a picture to remember today," Izuku suggested.

They crammed into the small booth, striking silly poses and laughing as the camera flashed. Moments later, the machine spat out a strip of photos, each frame capturing their joy and camaraderie.

"This was a great idea, Izuku," Itsuka said, smiling warmly.

"We should do this more often."

"Definitely," Izuku agreed, holding up the photo strip.

"Days like this remind me of why I want to be a hero. Not just to fight villains, but to protect moments like these."

His friends nodded, understanding the sentiment. As they left the arcade and stepped into the cool evening air.

"Anyway, it's still a long day. So is there something you girls want to do?" Izuku asked them.

"Nothing, though I've been meaning to ask if you all are planning on going to UA?" Itsuka asked them.

"Damn right I am! I'll be number one!" Katsumi said in a firm declaration.

"Tots. I was aiming for Shiketsu High School but since you guys are going for U.A then might as well." Camie said.

"You know how it is. I can't leave my Edward behind." Himiko said.

"Aye! Where Izuku goes, I'll go." Mizuna said.

"I am. I will be a hero that everyone needs." Izuku said everyone who hears this immediately felt their heart strings pulled. No matter how small or insignificant, Izuku was there to help them. He was like a beacon of hope for them.

"....that is why I love you." They all mumbled at the same time and Izuku couldn't clearly hear their words.

"Sorry, what was that?"

"Nothing." They all said at the same time looking at each other while Izuku tilted his head.

"Anyway, are you girls hungry? Why don't we head to my mom's restaurant?"

"Sure, I think Aunt Inko would like me to visit." Itsuka said.

"Ah, hope Aunt Inko ain't mad for not visiting her." Camie said.

"It's fine, Mom understands." Mizuna said.

"We should go before it gets dark." Himiko said and soon headed their way to the restaurant that was owned by his mother after investing money to fulfill her dream which allowed her to acquire a large sum of money.

They went inside and were greeted by the friendly atmosphere where people who recognized him opted to wave at him. The place was jumped back to people who do not have any quirks since some places reject them showing how degraded the society is.

"Oh, izuku you're early!? Ah, If it isn't Itsuka-chan, Camie-chan and Himiko-chan, how're your parents?"

Inko approached them giving a welcoming smile treating them all like her daughters and already noticing how they treat her son. She only remains silent letting everything set its course thinking she will have a lot of grandbabies to spoil.

"They're doing fine, Aunt Inko. I'll let them know that you said hi."

"Sorry if I haven't visited." Camie said.

"Oh good heavens, no need to apologize, dear. I'm sure you were just busy with school." Inko smiled.

"I take it that you two want to have a meal? Good thing I've saved some dishes."

The two took a seat while his mother brought their meal to their table and began eating and chatting a bit.

"Ah, how much I miss this!" Camie said, taking a bite at her food.

"Tell me about it, this Blood stew is always the best for me." Himiko said since she needed to drink blood to satiate herself and her sanity.

"Fish…" Mizuna enjoyed her fish dish while Izuku smiled and ate his favorite food.

"I'm curious, Izuku. Once you become a hero, what do you plan on doing after that?" Itsuka curiously asked.

"Hmm I didn't think that far….maybe retire or find a successor." Izuku plainly answered.

"A successor?" Katsumi exclaimed.

"Yeah, I know that even All might need someone to inherit his will. I can't live forever or do it repeatedly." Izuku said even if he had the option doesn't want to see his loved one die before his eyes.

"Is that so? How about starting a family?" Camie chimed in.

"A family huh? Maybe but that's still far in the future." Izuku said everyone started to think about a future where they marry Izuku and have a family before blushing at the thought.
