"Somebody in our agency?"

Tsuyu was shaken by the fact that someone was behind 891 in her agency.

"How did they..."

"I'm not sure... but that's the instructions that were given to me."

Tsuyu scratched her head.

'Who on earth would be part of it?'

She glanced to the side.

'Now that I realize it, didn't I see Kyne or Connor at the jousting match? And when I got shot...'

Her mind traced back to her leader.

'There is no way. But can it? It's too...'

She sighed.

"Do you have any idea? On who the person is?"

"Well..."

Hitoshi handed another document to her.

"This is based on my agency's recent finds."

Tsuyu scanned the paper.

'Is male, that totally narrows it down. Is young, okay that's interesting. Is an-'

Tsuyu put on a confused face.

"The Anti-Antagonist? What's that?"

He sighed.

"I'm not sure. I asked my leader what it was but they didn't tell me. I had to figure it out myself."

Tsuyu nodded.

"Well... an Antagonist is a person who is against the protagonist in novels. And Anti means against something. Kero."

"To conclude when put together, it means someone who is against the antagonist."

"Can it be the protagonist? It depends on the motive."

It was like a tongue twister riddle they were solving, but Bakugo didn't seem to be interested.

"Bakugo-chan? Where are you going?"

"I'll be back, I have to do something first."

"What's that something? Kero?"

But he left anyway. Tsuyu scratched her head.

'He's been acting like this since Shinsou-chan came...'

Hitoshi looked at Bakugo before reverting his attention to Tsuyu.

"Is that the only thing you thought of? Kero?"

"I think so."

She scanned the document again.

'And it's someone in our agency, but who?'

Tsuyu looked at Hitoshi.

"Say, don't you have another partner? For the mission?"

"Oh yeah, about that..."

He scratched his head.

"I don't know where he is."

"You don't know?"

Hitoshi nodded.

"We parted ways after searching in a hospital near our base for some reason. He said that he needed to check on something."

"Check on something huh."

He laughed slightly.

"That's why I have to do this alone now. I don't know where he is."
