A Frog's Tale [Tsu x Male Hero]

Chapter 74: Endeavour

"Do you think she's overreacting?" Midas asked his group, with Power Fist responding with, "What do you mean?" Midas then explained by saying, "Well... After those two morons tried to pull a fast one on us yesterday, boss has been really quiet and strict. She was looking around all over the place, staring at walls, the ceiling, every little crack in the floor, like she was paranoid about something. And then her orders to us this morning, swapping our guard duty around at a moment's notice isn't something she's ever done before."

Blizzard then spoke as he sat on a crate. "Kura... I trust the boss' decision. I trust it with my life. She's the only authority figure who has proven true to her power and has made good choices for the team, without thinking purely of her own benefits. She's delivering on her promises, never making empty promises or threats.

If she wants us to stay at this location instead of our regular space, then it's for a good reason. I would suggest obeying her commands without questioning it too much, because that's when you'll doubt her and become slowed down by weighty decisions and suboptimal choices and paths. Kaiyo's way is best. If she thinks there's going to be an attack, we are to be on high alert." The frosty individual said, with all three of them donning their armour that she had made back when fighting the rival gang, police force, and Gigantomachia with a few slight changes.

Blizzard had opted for a crown resembling shards of ice and a small opening in his arm, with Midas also opting for a crown that looked kingly, both of which were more accurate of their respective ancient legends, and Power Fist had his hands both free while the rest of his suit looked almost difficult to move in, but coming with some serious defensive capabilities, which was a fair choice given how he was immobile when charging up anyways. The only exceptions were his arms, which were more flexible with added joints to move them quickly, and small slits in his helmet, one horizontal for him to see, several vertical over his mouth and nose to breathe and speak.

"I agree with Yuki," said Power Fist in response, "We don't have any reason to distrust her plans, they've always worked and gone off without a hitch! The only time it didn't was when we were betrayed, and that was ages ago when Cyberghost launched the nuke. And besides, it's not like you have anything to worry about, come on man, she personally trained you to awaken your Quirk, you've gotten so strong because of her!"

Midas replied, "Yeah I know, it's just annoying to be stuck inside these suits all day, I'm boiling alive in here! Hey Yuki, could you give us some air conditioning?" The man with crystal blue eyes and shining silver hair sighed with small cloud of cool air coming out, "If that was the problem, why didn't you just tell me?" He then stood up and began forming a large ice block a few feet away from them.

"Wait, wait, instead of a big ice block, maybe just breathe on us a bit every so often? We don't want anything obstructing our view, even if it is close to the wall." Power Fist noted, to which Blizzard nodded, "Right, of course, how foolish of me." The ice block then melted into a puddle of water, and Yokoyama Yuki began softly breathing in his friends' faces. The two of them leaned their heads back in satisfaction and comfort, "Ah, much better!" Power Fist said, with Midas joining in tandem.

They both closed their eyes briefly, Midas opening them up again and looking back at where the ice block was, his content smile fading instantly as he noticed something. "Hey Yuki, you can't control the way the water flows after you melt your ice, right?" Blizzard stopped breathing and said, "No, why?" The two then followed Midas' line of sight and noticed two foot shapes inside the pooling water. Without missing a beat, Blizzard blocked the entrance of the warehouse with a wall of ice.

Outside, about a hundred meters away from the warehouse Tokage asked, "Is someone watching us?" To which Endeavour replied, "Someone's been stalking me for the past ten years. Nothing has come of it, so it's likely just them, there's no need to worry. Focus on the mission." Endeavour replied. Iida is swatting his right arm through the air and saying, "It has been seven minutes and thirteen seconds, why has Invisible Girl not yet returned to us with information?" Everyone in Team Endeavour, including the titular leader himself, looked around with a concerned expression. "She was only meant to go in, get their locations, and report back with anything that could help such as the layout of the inside..." Kendo said.
