[MHCISQD] Chapter 323: Christmas Party

Nobody wants to share their significant other with someone else, and Mikoto is no exception.

After discovering the situation between Renault and Yaoyorozu, she struggled for a while.

But in the end, she chose her current approach.

"Alright, alright~" Mikoto waved her hand calmly and said, "Sure, Mikumo has some issues, but what can we do about it? We'll deal with it later. If it's Mikumo, then it's fine, but I won't actively make anything happen."

Once Mikoto said that, Yaoyorozu had no choice but to listen and refrain from intervening.

"Well, you better be careful in the future. In case it's not just Mikumo, don't forget there's a senpai as well."

"Hmm..."

Mikoto thought for a moment about Hado's disposition; though she was a beautiful girl, she didn't seem threatening.

Oh well, let's just ignore that. Instead, she decided to focus on preparing what outfit to wear for the upcoming Christmas party in a few days.

Later downstairs, Renault was already back in the living room.

Mikoto and Yaoyorozu chose not to go to the underground training room to see the two captives. They wouldn't involve themselves in this matter and trusted Renault to handle it.

At this moment, Mikumo had finished singing a song and was resting while jotting something down in his notebook.

"Mikumo, haven't you finished writing your song yet?" Mikoto asked directly when she saw him.

"Songwriting?" Renault was also surprised.

"It's been days; you've been paying attention, Senpai, so of course, you wouldn't know," Mikoto said while sitting beside Mikumo, attempting to sneak a peek at the lyrics.

But just as Mikoto leaned over, Mikumo promptly closed the notebook and hugged it to her chest.

"Not now. I'll let you hear it when I'm done with it and have the melody ready!"

No matter how Mikoto pleaded, Mikumo refused to budge.

Finally, Mikumo had to promise to perform the song in front of everyone at the Christmas party.

"Will you have enough time for the Christmas party? It's just a few days away," Mikoto said, concerned.

Mikumo nodded, "There's only a little left to write in the lyrics, and I already have ideas for the arrangement. Even if there's no finished accompaniment, I can sing it acapella."

With confidence evident on her face, it was clear that Mikumo was very satisfied with her work.

Everyone was looking forward to it.

After Renault left, Mikoto urged Yaoyorozu to take a shower as it was time for their girls' gathering tonight.

As Renault returned to school, Kirishima invited him to play games, but unfortunately, Renault wasn't in the mood and went back upstairs after a short while.

Watching Renault's departing figure, Kirishima pondered, "I feel like he's looking down on us."

"Really?" Midoriya couldn't see it at all.

Todoroki, who unusually hadn't gone back to rest yet, nodded, "There's a bit of that. As for the reason..."

"Do you know it?" The other boys looked over.

"...Should I really say it?"

Todoroki felt a bit hesitant to speak.

"Come on, spill it!"

Looking around, Todoroki finally spoke, "I think it's because we're all single."

What... What does that mean?

Are single people being discriminated against?

That's too excessive.

Swear to God, Renault never had such a thought. He was just feeling a bit unmotivated.

He had thought tonight he might try his luck with some girl's company, but instead, he would be going to bed alone.

In this situation, who would even be interested in playing games?

And so, a few days passed, and the events in Deika City gradually faded away. Everyone welcomed Christmas and entered holiday mode.

U.A. was also on vacation today, and the holiday would last until the new year.

But before that, the Class A students decided to spend one more day at school and hold a Christmas party in the dormitory.

With all the things that happened this year, they didn't want to miss a big gathering like this at the end of the year; they just had to do it.

Renault had prepared the dormitory hall and brought in a Christmas tree, adorned with various decorations and strings of lights, which looked beautiful once lit up.

The walls of the hall were covered in balloons and decorations.

In the morning, everyone rearranged the hall, leaving the central area empty and setting up an extra-long table to hold a wide variety of food.

In the kitchen, Renault had been preparing since early morning.

The party was going to be well-attended; besides all of Class 1-A, Raiden Mei, who had been working hard on her studies, Renault's family, and even the Big 3 from the third grade were coming.

Originally, they had invited the teachers too, but they declined as they had their own gathering tonight.

After putting a few prepared dishes in the oven and setting the timer, Renault took off his apron and gloves and handed them to Yaoyorozu beside him.

"It's almost time; I'll go pick up Mikoto and the others."

Although Renault could directly teleport them using the black hole, today's event had been officially registered, so they decided to follow the regular procedures.

After putting away the apron, Yaoyorozu said, "Alright, don't worry, we've got it from here. Mei will be coming soon too, I'll go to the school gate to meet her."

"It's been a while since I saw Mei. The last time was during the cultural festival."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yaoyorozu shot him a threatening look.

"Let's make it clear—don't try anything with Mei, got it?"

"I never had any intentions like that!" Renault chuckled, pinching Yaoyorozu's cheek, and then left the kitchen.

"I'm off."

Yaoyorozu rubbed her cheek and smiled, rolling her eyes.

At that moment, Ashido's voice came from behind, "Men's sweet words are deceptive. Yaomomo, be careful. You know, first-year girls can be very attracted to this kind of guy!"

Pushing Ashido away, Yaoyorozu said with a hint of annoyance, "Don't worry, Mei is smart enough not to fall for that. Besides, I'm more concerned about something else."

"What is it?"

"I'm sure there will be some guys in our class who will end up heartbroken tonight."

"Huh?"
