Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 93 - Where the skies end

Tetsutetsu raised his sword, prepared to cut Shoda down, but Monoma jumped in, parrying the steel boy away. He pointed the sword at his classmate, growling, "My name is Romeo! Ghost of Azkaban, Count Paris! Return Juliet to me!"

Damn... even with a sword with a longer range and all that practise, I still feel like Tetsutetsu could just cut me up. Monoma thought, And these are fake swords. How on earth does Midoriya do it with knives that have an even shorter range than these swords?

Tetsutetsu lifted his head, "Romeo... You heard about your father from Gandalf... right? That he was the king of Gondor. That was a lie."

Monoma gasped, as Tetsutetsu threw his hood off, "I am your father!"

The blonde dropped his sword to the ground comically, and yelled, "You're lying!"

"Whoops!"

Death Arms paused as he was patrolling the area, almost running into someone wearing a trench coat and a mask, "Excuse me!"

"Please be careful!" Tobita confidently replied, trying not to make the hero suspicious, "You were about to ruin the aftertaste of the Gold Tips Imperial."

"I'm sorry." Death Arms apologized, wondering why the voice sounded so familiar, as Tobita turned to Aiba, "Come, let's go, Honey."

"Honey?" Aiba asked, confused, before realising that it was a disguise, "Yes, I'm Honey!

"Gold Tips? Isn't that some kind of tea?" Death Arms asked, turning to the small house that was located next to the hardware store, "Is it a cafe or something? I didn't know that. You can't tell."

Tobita couldn't help himself, and turned around, "If you didn't know what Gold Tips Imperial was, then you wouldn't not have thought that! Are you... someone who understands? It's wonderful, even heroes are enjoying some tea!"

"Um... I've seen and heard about it. I really don't know that much... I'm not much of a tea drinker." Death Arms admitted, not really sure what was going on, I feel like I've heard this voice before...

"Well, that's perfectly fine!" Tobita replied, "You should try it some time!"

Death Arms blinked; he had just watched some video about a villain and tea a few days ago, since all the heroes were supposed to be on the lookout for some Gentle Criminal...

But he couldn't really do anything at the moment; he needed to be sure that this was actually the Gentle Criminal, and not just some old couple who wanted to drink some tea.

"Now, if you excuse me..." Tobita turned around, as Death Arms spoke up, "Please wait. Is this like a ritual for you?"

"Ritual? What are you talking about?" Tobita asked, turning around, placing his hand on his mask, and Death Arms growled, "We saw your videos. You mentioned that before you commit one of your criminal acts, you choose the brand based on the size of the job. You're planning to infiltrate UA's School Festival, aren't you? You mean an alarm both figuratively and literally."

"La Brava. Start filming." Tobita muttered, as Death Arms hissed, "Leave UA alone. They're just kids; let them have some fun."

"You're very perceptive. La Brava, there's been a change of plans. From this moment on, no matter what happens, don't stop the camera!" Tobita replied, preparing to take his coat off, as Aiba nodded, "Of course, Gentle. But are you going to fight? Here? Do you think that's a good idea?"

Tobita merely smiled, and took his overcoat off with a flourish, "Dear listeners! The grand adventure of a man of extraordinary talent is starting! Don't be so dazzled that you'd look away! I am the gentleman thief who will save the world; Gentle Criminal! My plans have shifted. In this current predicament, I'll keep this brief. This time, I tried going into UA!"
