『Hakari Kotaro』
"Wow... what are the chances? You really are incredibly lucky Hakari-kun, or maybe that girl was lucky to encounter you more like. Wish I could have met her face to face, she sounds adorable."
Toga giggled and kicked her feet while laying on my bed in my new room in the dorms, or more like our new room. Toga's was right next to min, and she could hop the balcony with trivial ease.
The dorms were much nicer than in canon, I think, I really did not get to see much before, each dorm room was about the size of a studio apartment, own balcony, own toilet, and each floor had its own larger bath, shower and toilet. The laundry room was shared.
Toga managed to fit an entire kitchen into her own apartment, basically turning it into more of a living room/kitchen mix and using my room as her actual room to which I had no complaints. The only thing she failed to do was have Nezu allow her to make a hole between our rooms.
Allow being the operative word, she did anyway. Just without permission.
My room was pretty well decorated thanks to the craftsmanship of toga, bookshelf there to store manga, large desk for my personal computer, gaming console with TV mounted on wall, beanbag chairs, couch, shelves, the whole shebang. It looked far more comfortable than my previous apartment, And no, I did not mind Toga's plushies on my bed.
It is good decoration, and sleeping with plushies was rather comfortable, they basically acted like extra pillows.
Overall, the dorms were definitely nice, especially the super gym, I mean this gym was a head and shoulders above any gym I have been to in my past life, and I've been in a lot of gyms. Most of the time it was to beat people up, but sometimes I worked out too.
There are weights going up to 50 Tons here. And you can even request heavier weight from support departments, but those have to be custom order. I was going to get incredibly fit here. Especially now that I had Greater Hemokinesis and Regenerator to freely abuse and exploit.
School was going to start again tomorrow since they had to give the students some vacation and re-up the security measures of the school after a terrorist attack that hospitalized multiple people.
Today was my date with Aiba, and Toga was helping me dress up for the occasion, not too casual but not very formal. A white good-looking shirt, a black hoodie jacket with yellow lining, and black pants with some diamond shaped patterns, and lastly some good red running shoes. All things she bought herself, and of course she knew my measurements better than I did.
Compared to yesterday, I looked an entire tier higher in appearance, well groomed and well-dressed unlike when I met Aiba where I was dressed in my school uniform and was disheveled due to how tired I was.
Toga adjusted my hair with an excited smile, almost jumping in place.
"Aaaand that looks good~. Oh man, she will wet her panties at the sight of you! I wish I could see her myself, she looked adorable in those pictures. Maybe we can meet together next time and do a double date? Oh man~ I'm so excited."
Yeah, Toga's levels of excitement about this whole matter couldn't just be explained with [What's Monogamy] but that was what I liked about her.
I had shown Toga the photo's Aiba had sent me after she messaged me to make sure I did not give her a fake number. That girl typed so fast, the moment I sent a message, it did not take more than a second for her to reply with an entire paragraph. Our conversation was mostly arranging the date and location, but it was nice. Also she used a lot of emoticons, a lot of them, some I didn't even know existed.
"If I can, I'll try to introduce you two, if the date goes well enough."
She jumped up and down and slapped my shoulder with gusto.
"Yup yup! Enough dawdling, get on it tiger! No sane woman can resist your advances!"
The amount of hype she was placing on me was a bit much, but I appreciated the vote of confidence.
I was practically shoed away from the house by Toga and shrugged my shoulders. The date location was a bit away from UA, but I had my way of getting there fast. Even if flight was out of the picture without a license.
My hand pulled the Midas' bag out of my waist and turned it upside down while stretching the entrance, and out popped was my beloved, Kaneada's Bike. Nezu did me a favor and got me a license and registered the bicycle under my name. Yes, it looked as cool in real life as it did in the movie. Yes I was in love.
It was decently stronger than the average bike, but now that I had a license for this thing, I wanted to get the Support course to get a look at this thing, and wanted it to turn it into an absolute monster.
But that could wait for later.
I mounted the sleek, red, futuristic motorcycle, and revved the engine, the sound was almost orgasmic. I was a yakuza, of course I liked motorcycles, it's a not stereotype, it's a way of living. I even had my own shares motorcycles before I got tired of replacing after they kept getting thrashed in fights.
With almost reckless abandon, I raced down the streets, as long as I did not crash into anything, I was unlikely to get pulled over thanks to [Nothing's Strange], It was a great feeling to have the wind rushing by me in my motorcycle again while the engine purred. It took me little under 20 minutes to reach the date location. And to my surprise, Aiba was already waiting for me. She was nervously checking her phone and looking around despite it being 20 minutes before the chosen time.
I disembarked in an alleyway a bit away and stashed the bike back in my bag and approached her with a casual attitude.
"Hey there Manami-chan, we're both early, huh? Guess that just gives us more time."
Aiba's head snapped towards me, her gaze scanned me up and down like a teenage girl meeting a k-pop idol in real life. Her cheeks flushed, she was about to speak, but then slapped her own cheeks rather roughly and it did little to recover her composure but she sounded at least slightly more put together compared to the first time I met her.
"Yes, I thought I'd come earlier, I-I hope that doesn't seem creepy? I was just v-very excited for our d-date- ahem, for our date."
Oh man, did she practice that in front of the mirror? That was adorable.
Though that still made me raise an eyebrow at the way she worded it.
"Creepy? What kind of man would call a girl waiting on them creepy? I think it's cute. Speaking of cute, your outfit is absolutely stunning, makes me feel like I underprepared."
She had one hell of a sense of fashion, I had to admit, frilly white tasteful top, knee-length dark red skirt, white tights, black mary janes, and a bowtie of all things, but it all fit her well enough I'd say. And I wasn't just saying this because they highlighted her incredible breasts, and her ass was rather great too.
I feel like god nerfed her height after realizing he put too much power in the hands of one mortal.
She blushed and twirled her red ponytail, trying to suppress her smile.
"Really? I prepared a lot for this date, the entire day actually, I'm glad you like it! You look amazing too Hakari-san, you have this cool urban look about mixed with a bit of chic!"
I see, I do not know what the hell a chic is but whatever floats her boat. As for this date, I did a bit of preparation, and got more preparation shoved down my throat by Toga who showed me potential spots to woo a girl and such. It almost felt like backseat gaming for dating. But thanks to her, I had a vague idea for the date.
But according to "Himiko's Handy Dandy Notebook for Charming the Panties off Girls Vol. 1" I should ask her to see if she already had something in mind. But I had a trick card up my sleeve.
'Seek Guidance'
Subtly, my eyes turned to the ground to read messages.
'Chest ahead, therefore try two-handing.' 'Wife ahead!' 'Wife!' 'Lover ahead! Time for Cafe' 'Time for date! Try Cafe' 'No condom required ahead' 'Ahh... Loveni Cafe'
As usual, the Guidance was a mix of schizophrenic ramblings mixed with genuinely useful information. And this looked unusually good, if she was making Seek Guidance geek out this much, she must be one hell of a potential partner. I noted the cafe told to me by Seek Guidance and turned to Aiba.
"So, Manami-chan, since we are here early, why don't we hit up a cafe? I know a good one nearby called Loveni cafe. We could get to know each other a bit better, I know I want to know more about you for sure."
She turned to me with sparkles in her eyes.
"Loveni cafe... that popular spot for dates? Doesn't that place cost a lot?"
...Darn guidance. Couldn't you have prefixed that with 'Financial burden ahead'?
"No worries, I'm pretty flush with cash. Let's go."
"Y-yes! Hehe~"
Aiba let out a short dreamy giggle that slightly reminded me of Toga and followed behind me as we started walking towards the aforementioned café. Rather obviously, I didn't know the direction, nor could I look it up without looking like a fool but Seek Guidance came in clutch as always as a trail of messages just saying 'Here!' showed me the way like a trail of breadcrumbs.
It was difficult matching my pace with her since she was almost half my height, but the slow walk gave us some time to chat. She seemed very interested in my life at UA. And how it was like to be hero and my personal hobbies in general. She tried deflecting questions aimed at her own past and hobbies, she was surprisingly guarded. Or more like insecure I'd bet.
We reached the café within a few minutes of walking and sat down to order, she ordered something with a name far too long and complex for me to pronounce while I ordered a cold coffee with more sugar than coffee, I had a bit of a sweet tooth.
After a bit of light chat where I finally managed to pry her hobbies out of her, apparently she liked coding and was self-proclaimed very good at it too, which lined up with just how fast she chatted.
She seemed more confident this time as I slowly coaxed it out of her, I wasn't the easiest person to talk to, but I was far from the hardest. She seemed genuinely passionate and proud about her skills, and she showed me about how she even managed to hack the websites of massive corporations just because she was bored. And it suddenly made way more sense why she was a named character according to the Gacha.
Her surprise competence aside, Aiba was hot, cute, and a delight to be around ovarall.
Seems like choosing to invite her to a date was the right choice after all.
A/N: We are in the dorms baby! Aka. Hakari's current solo mansion, and as usual Toga is doing Toga stuff like a Toga does. And Nezu finally hooks Hakari up with his Motorcycle that he has not gotten to use yet, the wonders of the trait [Hero's Reward]. Nezu has a scary amount of money and reach.
Aiba is a delight, even it's a pain to write her surname. She practiced for 8 hours in front fo the mirror to keep her composure for this date, Hakari is basically the perfect boy from her perspective while he is basically an apex predator for a girl like her. The only worry now is Hakari detonating like a thermonuclear bomb if she uses her quirk on him with that much power by the time he is done with her. What did you guys think about this chapter? I'd love to know
