A Slightly Bitter Love Story

Chapter 1

 Shogeki Akira didn't have time for this. He just wanted to put up with this insane school, get his hero license, and work at Miruko's hero agency. Simple. He didn't want to have to deal with his under-classmen or his upper-classmen, or any extra credit work, or even the sports festival. Hell, he was the only student who willingly opted out of the whole dorm situation, but Miruko threatened to kick his ass if he gave the principal a hard time, so there goes any form of choice he had on the matter. Didn't even help him move out of his dad's place either, that harpy.

"Shogeki-kun, you could just say no, you've been glaring at that file fo-"

"Alright sick, later-"

"Sit your ass down, boy!" Shogeki groaned in frustration while Nedzu just sighed, asking Miruko to keep her voice down.

"Shogeki-kun, while I can't force you to accept this offer, I'm sure it will be of great benefit to the both of us."

"Look Nedzu-sensei, I get it, I really do, but how the hell would I benefit from this? I already have to deal with my classes and training, not to mention my internship with this bitch!" He gestured to Miruko, who just rolled her eyes at him. "I don't have time for any of this, not that I would want to do it anyway."

"Hmm, there's nothing we could offer you in exchange for your help on this issue?"

"Not unless you plan to just drop a few of my classes, which I doubt would happen at this hellscape of a school."

"Is that so?" Nedzu glanced over at Aizawa in the corner of the room, who returned the look with a dead stare. Looking back, the ferret-like creature shuffled around a few papers on his desk and said, "I can drop Modern Hero Art and Mathematics."

"Add on Physics and you've got a deal."

"How about English?"

"Eh, sure." Shogeki signed the papers in front of him and shook his principal's hand. Er, paw, he guessed. "When am I getting her?"

"We'll have the police bring her to your dorm in about a week. We'll make your classmates aware of the basics of the situation and we'll help you rearrange your room to accommodate."

"Wait wait wait, she's gonna be shacking up with me? I agreed to babysit her, not marry the psycho."

Aizawa jumped in with, "There needs to be a constant watch over her, so measures will be taken to ensure she's never more than 20 meters away from you. Any chance she has to escape or cause harm to another student, she'll no doubt take, so you can't let her out of your sight. Hygiene and other more private concerns will be deliberated to a female classmate of your choosing, however the large majority of her captivity is your responsibility."

"The hell is gonna stop her from slitting my neck in my sleep?"

"We'll be changing the lock on your door from the standard deadbolt to a special electromagnetic lock that Power Loader is designing. It'll only open when a current of 2 Million Volts run through it, a dangerous level of electricity that very few people in this school have the ability to interact with."

"Alright, I see how she'll be unable to escape, but you glossed over the bit about her maybe killing me."

"All staff and students will be made aware that opening that door themselves will result in severe consequences, meaning that if she kills you, she'll be left to starve to death."

"Glad to see my safety is of such a high conce-" Miruko clocked him on the head, a sign that he should probably quit running his mouth. Growling, he gave up trying to figure out the situation and just stood up to leave. "I'll assume you assholes won't just leave me to die and take my leave then. Need to make sure I hide most of my important shit at my dad's place, but I'll wait on you guys to help with the furniture stuff. Anything else I should know?"
