Mystery from Another World

Part 101: Compress rallies the newbies (IC)

After having a plan for Twice was off their plates, the LOV wanted to focus on their next objectives right away.

They worked on making evacuation plans for the meta chapters they were running.

Shigaraki also finally informed Dr. Ujiko that he'd need to leave his lab right before that week hit.

Dr. Ujiko asked why.

Shigaraki could have told him he knew the heroes were going to hit it, but he wasn't sure that the doctor wasn't being watched already. Shien's wanrings were rinign in his ears now that he'd been forced to admit she was usually right.

it was best if not heroes figured out the doctor knew about them.

"We've decided a different lociaont than usual would be better for the incubation period" he said instead. "Somewhere the league coul keep a better watch on it, and, we wouldn't have to rely on warping to get in and out."

This was reaonble, he thought. Using a nomu to avoid detecitn had certain risks if it happened to be discvoered--and he wanfi Ian's t think of things like this on his own.

Though he wonder now why Ujoki had never thought of it. The basement he worked in was under a big building, based on the size of it, don't the think anyone might notice him and find the enomu when he wasn't around?

[Keep i mind at this point SGhai had not idea bout Ujoki having a lcone ofhismelf or who he really was.]

Ujoki seemed surprised he'd thought of such a problem.

"I'm always careful," he said. 'I've been hiding here for almost as long as you've been alive, Shigarkaia-san. No one's come close to fining this place. And I have all my wonderful pets here if anything doe wrong."

"Well, I wont' use that licoaint," Shgiarnka rarely was so define ot him, but he could cerawtiln whine. And he was dero not to use anywhere th heroes would show up, even early.

But since he' don't explained, his demtin no doubt sounded very strange to the docoro.

"Why are you being so sturbbonr?" he said, almost twhign himlesf. "This will be satin for me, and it's only going ot be a few days for you, you won't ever be conscious for it. Your league is just a phone call away, surely you don't need them around you 24/7."

"I would feel safer if they were, and if it was a new lcoaiont, just in cs,e" Shgiank hon thot hit want the big a deal. H wind him weeks to move his stuff, h could just warp it out of there anyway. Or Compres could help with his quirk. Why did it matter?

"Is there someto you aren't telling me?" Ujoki asked, warily.

'no." Shgia din dthit so be a lie. He'd told him all he needed to know, anytime else was too risky. "But since we're talking, do you know anyitn about ninasj with uiqrks who might be helping Chisaki? OIr rouces have been at a dead end."

ANto thin he never is was ask Uko for information.

In all thie time Shgi ha dknown him, ehaldn dkn AFO and himd I stuff he wans't aware of, but it never seems impraont, and they always treated it as beneath hsi notice, so he didn't ask. But he supsouc at omos pion he'd been old enough to figure out they had a network, he just don't care. Ntohg had ever matters that tcuah asi hiatn all might, till the LOV had formed.

Still ifnaios wou old enough to hknow who the ninajs were it was surely AFO and Ujoki.

"injas?" Uokj repeated. "Ther'es no real Nina's in Jpan anymore. they went out with the old days. Even more otuda ithen Yakusa. And quirkless ones? Why would OVehraul recruit quirkels people to fight for him? They would never stand a chance."
