Chapter 38 - Report 31- Hosu

Late at night at Hosu City. Some fairly high-class hotel. There were several heroes coming in and waiting in the lobby for their rooms. One such hero and their son were here for the internship.

"I'll get us a room." Said Endeavor.

"Hm." Todoroki nodded his head.

He sits down while his father goes and gets them and some of his sidekicks a room to stay in.

Todoroki gets his phone out and opens up his group chat with the class.

'Nothing going on.'

The chat was normal, everyone is doing their best, except Mineta who was setting the notifications off like crazy. They were mostly blurry pictures and him complaining.

'Why did he pick Mt. Lady—Right.'

He looks up from his phone to see his father coming up to him.

"Here." He hands him a key. "This is your room; we will set out early in the—"

"YOOOO!!!" Mirko shouted walking into the Hotel, her clothes were stained with dirt, blood, and sweat, with a smile on her face. "Oy!! Guy at the counter!! Get me two rooms!!"

Walking behind her was Albert, his clothes were in the same state as Mirko but minus the blood. The eyes of the lobby fell on them with his they stick out.

"Mirko." Endeavor said coldly.

"Hm?" She turned to see him. "Oh Mr. Number 2!" She said grinning ear-to-ear. "Funny seeing you here!"

"Todoroki." Albert said, nodding his head.

"Albert." Todoroki nodded back.

"Are you here with your intern to hunt the Hero Killer?" Endeavor asked.

"Wasn't planning on it, we just got here to get a place to sleep."

"We plan on leaving tomorrow to rest and recover from two and a half days of nonstop running, jumping, and fighting villains." Albert added.

Looking at him Todoroki and Endeavor could see he wasn't lying. The both of them knew or the very least Endeavor knew of how Mirko operates, traveling around and fighting any villain that came into view.

"I'm impressed Albert." Endeavor spoke a bit more respectfully, acknowledging Albert could keep up with the pros. "It seems you got yourself the only intern who can handle your way of patrolling." He looked to Mirko.

"Heh!" She only smirks. "Come along Albert! Time is burning when we could be eating, showering, and sleeping!" Mirko walks off to the front desk. "And get some guys to come and clean out costumes! Pronto!!"

"Goodluck with your hunt." Albert nods his head and follows Mirko.

They watched as they got their separate room and left up the elevator.

"… Is it really that hard to be her intern?" Todoroki asked his father.

"Yeah… you would have been left behind 6 towns or cities back if you couldn't keep up with her. Then there is her brash personality."

"You don't like her?"

"No, but I respect her. Come, we should be getting our rest as well."

"Hm."

 

A while later in Albert's room.

"Hm~" Mélusine watches as Alberts body slowly recovers from its bruises. "I am amazed by how easy your body recovers."

All and any imperfections on his body returned to normal, purple bruised skin return to normal, cuts and gashes that couldn't break the skin healed over without any scars. His muscles, bones, tendons, nerves all returned to peak condition. Despite all of this not once has he shed a drop of blood.

"So long as I have nutrients I can always recover." Albert said eating a bunch of nutritional food.

"And what if you don't?"

"The scientists said that my body would pull from my body fat and other places, they even added in some extra organs in for me."

"You have extra organs?"

"Well one extra, a specialized stomach that stores food and other nutrients, it's only ever used when I am deprived of food and water for extended periods."

Mélusine looked at him with a quizzical look, like what he has spouted to outrageous even by her own standards and she is a Fairy/Heroic Spirit.

"And how long constitutes too long?"

"Hm… about a week, the storage can last me about three months."

Mélusine couldn't help but think that Albert was just an organic robot. In a weird and surprising way she felt closer to him.

"Say are you sure they didn't add in any other organs?"

"Hmm… nope. I did hear that they wanted to give me a second heart and possibly a third lung."

"I… the humans of this world are something else."

"I thought it would be pretty cool, I could do way more stuff, but my body wasn't big enough at the time…" He said a bit disappointed in the fact that they didn't stuff more stuff in him.

"Albert you should not feel bad they didn't stuff more in you!" Mélusine corrected him.

Albert felt something break in his mind.

"Agh! God dammit it's another one!" It was another form of mental magecraft they put in. "This sucks I can't even go to a therapist."

"Oh right they would know. Want me to keep asking you questions and see if we land on another mental block?"

"For a bit. I do want to sleep."

They didn't find another mental block.

 

The next day.

Nom! Nom! Nom!

Munch! Munch! Munch!

Mirko and Albert were eating their fill at a nearby restaurant. They were also in civilian clothes, so they didn't draw to many eyes. But with a hero like Mirko some eyes were sure to recognize her.

"So. Hm!" Albert swallows his food. "Do you always do this after a streak of nonstop patrolling?"

"Yup!" Mirko said licking the syrup off her fingers and lips. "A day of rest and were off tomorrow full and ready!"

"Fine by me. But how do you make money?"

"Safety Commission." Mirko reached into her pocket and put down a special card. "Since I travel all around the country they pay me from all the Villains that are unfortunate enough to cross my path, be it bank robbers, purse snatchers, gropers, yada, yada, yada, you get the idea right?"

"I do. So do they also help provide you a place to stay?"

"Yup, they send a text of where to stay, why did you think we got our rooms without much issue?"

"It was a rather fancy place."

"Yup! So eat up! After today we will be going until your internship is over!"

And eat up they did. They ate plat after plate loading up on carbs.

They didn't really not anything besides going back to the hotel and sleeping in for the day until the evening.

Later that night.

Mirko and Albert were all cleaned up with their consumes all fixed and cleaned with a fresh mind. They were also wearing their civilian clothing.

"Hmm…" Mirko was looking at a chest board.

"Check." Albert said.

"… Damn. I conceded. One more time."

The two of them were in the lobby playing chess with one another, it was Mirko's own suggestion as despite how blunt she comes off in approach to crime and way of life she still has to have a good head on her shoulders and see every possibility available to her, thus chess to help keep her mind sharp. She also plays other strategy games like Shogi.

"You sure you don't wanna get in a few more hours of sleep?"

"I'm good. Set the board up again."

They played another round before commotion reached their ears.

"?"

They turned their heads as explosions filled the city, drowning out the people's screaming.

"Back to the grind." Albert said quickly standing up and stretching.

"Let's get to it, Galahad." Mirko smirks as she also stretches her legs.

Once fully stretched they quickly returned to their rooms and got changed into their freshly cleaned hero costumes and went up to the roof.

Thud!!!

Thud!!!

Mirko and Galahad jump into the fray form the rooftop to the mayhem below.

 

Watching from up above was Tomura, Kurogiri, and Siegfried.

"Lady Luck decided to give us a fortunate." Tomura said. "Saber, help the Nomu and while you're at it kill Albert."

Siegfried takes a short breath and draws his sword.

Shing!

"Very well, master."

Siegfried then jumps into the mayhem below as well as this night will certainly be the beginning of the powder keg within Japan that will one day blow.
