Saiko Killer, Qu'est-ce Que C'est (IzukuxSaiko)

VI: Genuine

"You're late."

Midoriya blinked at Intelli who was seated on a small bench in front of a two story building. "WE LITERALLY, JUST STARTED."

Intelli scoffed, closing a small gold pocket watch and placing it back into the blazer of her school uniform. "As if that's any acceptable excuse for you to arrive late to an event that you planned in the first place. You said that we would both be here at precisely four in the afternoon and currently is four-oh-ONE, in the afternoon. Is it sincerely that difficult for you to keep track of time?"

Midoriya huffed with a glance at the watch on his left wrist, he too wearing the uniform of his school with the exception of his blazer. 4:01, the smallest, most insignificant difference of ONE minute from when they agreed to meet up at the public library. He knew she was a stickler for the more timely things but one minute? Something told him she wasn't going to make his days easy now that he was aware about what she secretly enjoyed reading. "It's one minute. Sorry I don't have the Quirk that can make street lights change faster."

"Oh it's not a matter of Quirks that are your concern it's the matter of selecting an appropriate time for departure and arriving earlier than what is designated. Had you been smart enough like myself you would have been here ten minutes early, also like myself. But I suppose that can be a lesson for next time, or if fortune smiles upon me, there won't be."

Intelli rose from her spot on the bench and turned to look up and see the sign of the building, Midoriya joining her side to also look up toward the sign. "So Musutafu Public Library hmm? And, do tell, what do you hope to achieve by bringing me here?"

"Nothing really, what? Is it wrong for somebody to invite somebody else to a library? You like books don't you?"

Intelli squinted at the first year. "Don't attempt to play games with me Midoriya unlike last time I'll see to it that you end up butchered properly should you think about making me a fool. Because unlike last time, Mother isn't here to save you."

"Yeah, and also unlike last time I'm not restrained. So looks like we both have something to think about before making a mistake huh?"

"HMPH! As if I could ever be afraid by the likes of you. But I suppose today will be the only day where I will entertain you so by all means, let's just get this over with."

Intelli stepped towards the library entrance with Midoriya following close behind but instead of entering, she stopped dead in her tracks. The first year quirked an eyebrow quizzically and looked around her to see her reflection dully glaring back at the real thing as if she had suddenly become like ice. "Um, are you gonna go inside or-"

"Huhhhh, must I always remind you of a such a simple task? What's this in front of me?"

"Uh, a do-Ohhhhhhh."

"O-OUGHHHHHH. Imbecile."

"Oops, sorry." Midoriya apologized while stepping around Intelli and holding the door open for her. "Here you go, princess."

Intelli chuckled and clucked her tongue while entering. "You wish you had the privilege of being my servant."

Like that was anywhere near the top 100 list of wishes he wanted fulfilled.

Musutafu Public Library. Nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary with the exception that it was just an ordinary public library. Two floors with an escalator system in the middle, the first floor was separated into halves, one section designated for the more elementary and younger audiences with the other half reserved for an elderly grouping. The second floor held sections of literature covering young adults, political topics and advanced novels. It wasn't completely quiet but there was a comforting silence in the presence of a peaceful working environment, a café at the rear of the building creating an ambient cloud of pleasant scents.
