Ch.5 - Matricaria Recutita

"Please! I'm begging you!"

Bakugou didn't even bat an eye at the straw blonde who was talking to you. Bakugou only rolled his eyes and continued to eat his meal. Across the table, Kaminari ran his hands through his hair. He had been at this for a good fifteen minutes, but Bakugou had yet to budge.

"Bakugou, what do you want me to do? Get on my hands and knees?!" Kaminari cried out.

"That would be a start." Bakugou huffed and watched as Kaminari suddenly dropped to the side of the table.

Kaminari fell to his knees and looked ready to beg further, only to suddenly be grabbed by the back of his collar and tugged back up onto his feet.

"Don't sink that low." Ashido swung her finger in front of Kaminari. "You're better then that, Kaminari."

Kaminari sighed but seemed to at least understand what Ashido was getting at. He returned to his feet and looked at bakugou once more. Kaminari inhaled slowly and then slammed down the piece of paper he had stuck into his pocket.

"Come on man! It says this task is best suited for groups of four to six!" Kaminari told the ash-blonde.

"You can read this?" Bakugou rose a brow, seeing that the text on the request sheet was written in another language.

Kaminari blinked and then pulled back a little bit. "W-well not really... but numbers are the same! As well as the currency system! Plus the task is easy!"

Kaminari pushed the request into Bakugou's hands and the male sighed in irritation. But to Kaminari's delight, Bakugou started to look over the request sheet.

Bakugou was unable to read the text written on the request but between the numbers and pictures on the request, he could understand what it was asking for. A picture of a nest with eggs in it, a draw-in adventurer taking an egg, and the image of a dark and foreboding forest in the background.

"So, this is asking us to find some shitty eggs in a forest that might be crawling with dangerous animals?" Bakugou looked at Kaminari.

He nodded his head and then pointed to the large and bolded number at the bottom. A picture of an egg was before it and then an 'x' followed by the numbers 1000. That meant that each egg brought back was worth a thousand gold coins.

"I only need a one more person to make the group feel safe for whatever we'll face!!" Kaminari explained further. "And you're the type of guy who loves fighting animals!"

Bakugou shot Kaminari a glare at this. He didn't love to fight animals, but he did love to know what creatures he could best in a fight. It was completely different.

"Who else is tagging along to this shit show?" Bakugou breathed out.

Kaminari lit up at this question. Could it be that Bakugou was actually considering it now?

"W-well me, Ashido, Sero and Kirishima!" Kaminari spoke, touching a single finger for each name mentioned. "With you, it'll be five! So come on Bakugou!"

Bakugou huffed, closing his eyes, and began to consider his options. On one side, if he said no, he wouldn't be stuck with these idiots for a few days straight. But... that monetary reward was very tempting, as well as the possibility to get some training in with actual beasts."

"Fine." Bakugou growled. "I'll tag along, but you better carry your own damn weight!"

Kaminari's face lit up and he grabbed the request back from Bakugou. He eagerly nodded and then started to run off to tell Aizawa that he and a few others were taking on this request.
