Today's song is a good one, another to take you back in time. It's He's A Demon- He's A Devil- He's A Doll by Betty Hutton everyone! Another one I found from Diamond City Radio in the video game Fallout 4. And yes, I played the game long before I watched the show so no, I'm not one of those people. 👌👌👌👌👌👌

Ryukyu's agency is something of traditional Japanese decoration mixed with modern architecture, and it's quite beautiful. For the first bit of the agency, maybe a couple days, nothing exciting really happened so I didn't take notes, besides, Nejire always bothered me when I did. I swear her questions seem never ending sometimes. Anyways, we just got a call from Selkie's Oki Mariner crew for an urgent request to team up, which brought Asui to reminisce on old times a bit when we first got here.

After making polite conversation, Selkie told us to go to the beach. An odd request but once we got our swimsuits on and started relaxing a bit, I understood why. I'm pretty sure that's what Ryukyu and Selkie have been talking about for a while now, up on the cliff overlooking us on the beach; Selkie wants to show us peace so that we fight to protect it. Well, that and what villain is stupid enough to transport drug components when the Coast Guard is on high alert and its broad daylight.

I already did some research on the way here about the situation with a little hack into Coast Guard security files, thankfully they have no idea because I was so careful to keep my toes only dipped into the deep end of the pool before pulling out. Sometimes testing the water is the farthest you have to go to get good intel.

"Hinako!" Nejire bumps the ball to me, so I spike it to the other side, flailing a little bit since I haven't played much volleyball since starting high school, but getting the point nonetheless, "Let's go into the water now!" She suggests suddenly, running off and shooting off her quirk a bit to jump in.

We all run in after her, splashing around and having a great time, but as the sun begins to signal the early evening we make our way to the shore for some yummy barbecue. Sirius is the main girl on the grill, but we all pitch in to make sure everything will taste amazing, then dig in once it's all cooked up.

As the sun begins to set on the horizon we pack up and dry off, changing into our hero costumes for the next part of the day, capturing the thugs transporting ingredients for the quirk enhancer drug known as Trigger. Ryukyu orders Asui and Uraraka to stay on the Oki Mariner with Selkie, Sirius, and Selkie's crew, keeping Nejire and I by her side in the sky.

I haven't tried flying much, so I just use the disks of positive and negative energy I can create to absorb and repel myself across the sky, "Nejire-senpai!" I yell, bouncing off invisible disks of energy, "Think you could teach me to fly sometime?"

"Sure thing Kismet-chan! Leave flight training to me!" She holds up a peace sign over her right eye with a chuckle before putting her efforts back into forward propulsion from her quirk, Surge. Ryukyu turns her dragon head towards me for a brief moment as well when she notices I'm not quite as fast as I am using the North and South Pole 'Magnet Rejection' move on solid ground. I've never had much physical finesse, but being with the hero course students definitely put my body in to shape quickly.

"Kismet." Ryukyu's deepened dragon voice yells back to me, nearly carried away by the wind, "If it's too much for you, go back up the others on the boat. I only wanted you up here so I could inform you that you are allowed to use your quirk for this mission, and I wanted to monitor you."
