[MHCISQD] Chapter 364: Spying

"People from another world."

"Who would've thought even these Drivers are from another world."

"Feels like the concept of world-hopping is a bit cliche, doesn't it?"

After Renault's explanation, a few girls also sighed.

Indeed, while their world was one of superpowers, the sudden appearance of an evil organization from another world and people from different worlds crossing over was undeniably an exaggerated scenario.

Even if a scientific genius created something terrifying, that would be more easily accepted by them. No one would expect a sudden intrusion from an organization of another world.

"But no need to worry too much. Although the Shocker Organization is quite powerful, we aren't pushovers either. I took on a few of those mid-level Kaijin last night, and it wasn't a big deal. Mikoto might have struggled a bit, but short one-on-one confrontations aren't a significant problem. If it's Yuriko, handling two opponents at once will be a breeze."

With Renault's reassurance, the three of them felt a bit relieved.

"Still, hearing you say that, those Kaijin guys seem interesting. We can have some fun with them when the time comes." Yuriko looked forward to dealing with the Shocker Organization. "Hope they won't be wiped out too quickly, otherwise, it'd be boring."

...What a marvel, seeking trouble instead of peace.

But as Renault had said, there was no immediate need for concern. Tsukasa had gone to Tokyo, so the hero side would quickly become familiar with Shocker's information, preventing them from being caught off guard.

However, clearly, today's events wouldn't conclude so easily.

Another call came in, this time from Ashido.

As soon as the call connected, Ashido's loud voice echoed, "Renault-kun, something's wrong!"

Renault pulled the phone away from his ear for three seconds, then brought it back, grinning, "Can you lower your voice a bit? What's going on?"

"Midoriya and Ochaco-chan, they're both gone!"

"Gone?"

Renault was stunned, "Weren't there many people following them? How could they just disappear?"

"Yes, we were trailing them the whole time," Ashido's voice sounded helpless, "After you and Mikumo left, we did follow them. However, they got stuck on a decryption puzzle, nearly twenty minutes passed, and they still couldn't solve it. It was about a local custom, they couldn't ask others or search online for answers, so in the end, they had to give up."

"Given up, but they shouldn't have gotten lost."

As Renault was on speakerphone when Ashido was explaining, Mikoto and the others also heard. Mikoto joined the conversation.

"It's me, Mikoto. Well, actually, Midoriya-senpai noticed we were tailing them, right? So, I think, after giving up, he went to the staff to submit the score. Taking advantage of the crowd there, he must have taken Uraraka-senpai and slipped away."

Ashido huffed in an annoyed tone, "Midoriya's so unfair! We gave him such a good opportunity with Creation, and he just ditches us like this, taking Ochaco-chan and disappearing!"

"I think it's a pretty good move."

"Renault! How can you say that? We won't get to see any interesting scenes this way!"

Renault shrugged indifferently in response to Ashido's inquiry and said, "I don't really care. I've already given the opportunity to Midoriya. As long as he's determined, he'll definitely have results. I still believe in him. Whether or not I watch them live doesn't matter."

"Ah, come on! You're such a bummer. If that's the case, then we'll go find them ourselves!"

After saying that, Ashido hung up the phone.

After pocketing his phone, Renault immediately turned to the three people beside him and said, "Quick, wipe your feet and change your clothes!"

"What for?"

"We're going to spy, of course!"

"???"

Five minutes later, the three girls, now in different outfits, suddenly understood.

It turned out that Renault could locate both Midoriya and Uraraka.

"Right, we forgot about Renault's ability. If there are markers, it should be easy to track them." Mikumo said, clapping her hands and chuckling.

"That's something I just recently became capable of..." Renault replied. Instead of opting for direct teleport, he led the girls towards Midoriya's location by foot.

"Midoriya and Uraraka are still on the move. They probably haven't reached their intended destination yet. Don't tell Ashido and the others. Let's just check it out ourselves and satisfy our curiosity."

Looking at the road ahead, they were now heading in the southwest direction of the inn. This was the same direction where Renault had battled Tsukasa.

But based on the direction Midoriya was heading, it seemed to be the forest path that had been mentioned earlier.

"It seems Midoriya didn't think of any other place to go, so he could only come here."

Renault nodded. "After all, Ashido and the others will definitely keep searching in town. If they can't find anything there, they'll eventually find this place. Given Midoriya's personality, he probably won't stay here for too long. Let's go."

They quickened their pace, and soon they entered the woods.

After traversing an area, Renault signaled the three behind him to quiet down. Because up ahead, they could already see Midoriya and Uraraka.

Upon stopping, the four of them unexpectedly moved in unison.

They took out their phones, activated the camera, and began recording!

Neither Midoriya nor Uraraka had noticed the group of four not far away. The two of them were visibly nervous.

But Midoriya, who was more prepared, seemed calmer than Uraraka. She was blushing profusely, her heartbeat on the verge of losing control.

Soon, the situation in the area changed, and the four stalkers with helmets stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, holding their phones tightly.

Even Yuriko was doing the same.

Such an opportunity was truly rare and incredibly amusing!

Five minutes later, as they watched Midoriya and Uraraka quickly depart while holding hands, the four of them emerged from their hiding spot.

As he watched the recorded video on his phone, Renault mused with a smirk on his lips, "How should we use this thing?"

"You better not be thinking anything inappropriate..." Mikoto warned, looking at Renault. "Don't casually share it around!"

"Relax, this thing is definitely going to be shown during some future gathering. For now, it's meant to be kept a secret, a secret weapon! I'm really looking forward to seeing Midoriya's and Uraraka's expressions when they see this footage at some point in the future."

With a slightly twisted sense of humor, Renault pocketed his phone.
