thirty one

arriving at the hospital later on in the day, yukiko saw a group of 3, 2 pro heroes and one of them with a heteromorphic quirk, making him look like a dog. once they left the room she intended to enter, yukiko peeked her head in, taking note of the atmosphere in the air: it was so dense, it could've been cut with a knife.

"i brought food..." yukiko mumbled, "yay?" she smiled nervously.

"hi, yukiko." izuku greeted softly, glancing behind him at shoto, "we just met with the chief of the hosu police."

"oh? what'd he say?" yukiko pulled the box marked with "katsudon" on it and passed it to izuku.

"that endeavor's gonna take the credit for the arrest of the hero killer." izuku mumbled.

yukiko nodded, "well, it's best for that. if they found out three students did it without their license, there would be a field day for the media." she walked over to shoto, "i remember you said you liked cold soba, shoto, so i got you some." and she walked over to tenya after shoto gave her a small thank you, "i had to ask izuku what your favorite food was, so here you go, tenya. do you need me to help you eat?"

"no, it's okay, endo senior."

"it's yukiko." she smiled, "please, call me yukiko."

the boys ate and yukiko left after helping tenya with his own meal and headed back down the road, hearing them all chatter about endeavor and him catching the hero killer.

imagine if they knew who actually did it, yukiko smiled to herself, what they did was idiotic, but, they did it out of the good in their heart.

the screen on the shopping mall echoed, speaking about the Nomu captured and the league of villains, even going as far to show the clip of shigaraki and kurogiri on the water tower.

standing and looking up at the screen, yukiko couldn't help but analyze every Nomu shown on the screen. they were all so different looking, but one feature stood out: the brain being shown to the public.

not being able to stomach the image any longer, yukiko walked back to UA, greeting a sweaty yurei who held yukiko's book bag and costume case.

taking on the items from yurei to give her a break, yukiko chuckled, "is it really heavy?"

"not at all! i'm sweating because it's hot!" she groaned, "what the hell is in that case?"

"hm, i don't know." yukiko chuckled.

yurei gasped, stars in her eyes, "is it your new costume?"

yukiko chuckled, "yes, it is, and i can't wait to show you!" she smiled brightly, "i've never been this excited for a costume!"

"did you get the shoes like i said?"

"fine," yukiko grumbled, "i caved. i got the shoes you sent me the last two days."

"yay! we can practice today." yurei opened the door for yukiko, who set down the cases and bags, "let's go! i wanna see it!" yurei grabbed yukiko's case, and tugged her friend behind her.

"ah! wait, we didn't even say hello to the teachers."

"who cares? you got a new costume!" she opened the door to the locker room and opened the case. she tugged the costume out, gasping, "scandalous!"
