"And we'll definitely save her this time."

"Of course, we'll save her. You think I'll let myself be scared away by some third-rate villain?" the explosion boy stated with a confident grin on his face.

"Careful, Kacchan. Don't get cocky. We'll get her, but we mustn't fight Ban, he's currently out of our league," the still white-eyed boy stated calmly, looking at his friend, who responded with a little scowl.

After storing their weapons away and putting the body of the one thug who didn't get completely destroyed in the trash container, they made their way back to the door they came through and walked back into the exhibition, where Asahi had luckily not returned yet.

Asahi's POV

It had taken him about ten minutes to find a toilet and then another three to finish his business. After returning to the exhibition, he quickly spotted the two boys and made his way toward them, catching a glimpse of Izuku talking to Katsuki with strange eyes. However, when he arrived at the scene, the boy looked at him with his normal emerald eyes. Only then did he notice their clothes.

"Boys, what on earth did you do? Those are not the clothes you had on before, and why are they wet?" he exclaimed worriedly, kneeling down to their level and checking them for any injuries, luckily not finding any.

"Well, look outside, there's a goddamn storm out there. We just happened to have a 'heated' discussion out there before it started to rain. So, we took out some clothes from Izuku's inventory, but we forgot that it would instantly put them on, so they also got wet," the crimson-eyed boy explained, arms crossed, looking away while the other boy rubbed the back of his head, smiling sheepishly.

'We're lucky we have an inventory with spare clothes, otherwise, he would have seen the blood stains on the clothing,' Izuku thought, still smiling and keeping up the act.

Though skeptical at first, Asahi eventually sighed, giving them the benefit of the doubt, and moved on.

"Well then, I suppose this is the end of our first day at the exhibition. We'll get you two home, and you'll both take hot showers and change out of those wet clothes. I can't have you catching a cold. Your mothers would be furious with me," he said, taking both their hands and dragging a grinning Katsuki and a protesting Izuku back to the car and driving them back to the hotel.

10 minutes later at the hotel

Carefully opening the door, hoping Inko was still out shopping, Asahi looked inside and, luckily, found no one there. With a relieved sigh, he told the boys, "Boys, go shower now. We can't risk Inko finding out, okay? We have two showers, so use both."

The boys went to the room they were sharing, grabbed some spare clothes, and made their way to the two showers.

A bit later, when they both came out, Izuku told the Phoenix man that they would be going to Aincrad tonight because they wanted to check on something. After a brief debate on why Asahi had to do some more work and couldn't come with them, they went to their room and supposedly entered the game Quirk.

About two minutes later, the front door opened, revealing the green-haired woman coming back with a lot of bags in her hands, also using her minor telekinetic quirk to carry the smaller items.

"Wait, Inko, let me help you out. Here, I'll take these off your hands," the mostly white-haired man said, taking more than half the bags from her and putting them in the living area.
