[MHCISQD] Chapter 306: Mysterious Organization
Added 2023-07-13 19:50:28 +0000 UTCSince Yaoyorozu had already deduced it, there was no need for Renault to hide it from her.
"Just keep this to yourself for now, don't tell anyone else."
"Why?" Yaoyorozu was a bit puzzled. "Only by informing them can we effectively defend against villains, right?"
"I understand that, but it's evident now that the primary target of this organization is the League of Villains."
Embracing Yaoyorozu, Renault spoke slowly, "The League of Villains has been up to something. Lately, their activities are very covert, but it's certain that these guys aren't the kind to stay quiet. So if this organization actively approaches the League of Villains, it can also allow us to secretly observe. You need to know that All For One left behind that doctor who creates Nomus for Shigaraki Tomura, and who knows what other tricks they have up their sleeves."
"You want to see if the clash between those two organizations can reveal something about the League of Villains? Is that what the principal wants too?"
"The principal just hopes that those of us with strong abilities can be cautious in case of any unexpected incidents while we're out. The idea of observation is my own."
Shaking her head, Renault let out a sigh. "If we don't eliminate the League of Villains, the future will never be safe. Especially that Shigaraki, even if he's the grandson of the seventh user of One For All, I won't let him go. Not to mention the doctor who has been secretly creating various Nomus and possibly planning other schemes."
Yaoyorozu had already learned the story of One For All from Renault, as well as Shigaraki's identity, so she could understand Renault's concerns in this regard.
Although they were both students, Renault had been exposed to far more due to his background than any of them.
Leaning against Renault, Yaoyorozu spoke softly, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself; I know you can handle it."
"Don't worry; I'm not the type to rush into things blindly. When caution is necessary, I'll definitely approach it with caution. But this is indeed a great opportunity to observe the confrontation between these two from the shadows."
"It's indeed quite rare. Hey, Renault, any guesses about the one that's targeting the League of Villains?"
Renault shook his head. "That's why I want to investigate and observe. This organization had no presence in the past, but now they suddenly appear to be targeting the League of Villains, so they must have gathered enough strength to rise up."
"Rise up... It can't be that easy, right?"
"Of course not." Although he didn't know the true identity of that organization, Renault remained cautious and didn't believe they posed a significant threat to him.
"If they dare to provoke me, I'll just throw them into a black hole and let them destroy themselves."
"If they end up in a black hole, there's no way they'll survive..."
"Well, that's the idea." Glancing at the time, Renault lay down directly and said to Yaoyorozu, "But there's no rush for all this. The news has been out for three days, but the League of Villains hasn't shown up yet, so it seems they're busy with something. Let's focus on enjoying our Christmas and new year for now. Don't forget, we're still students, and let the Pro Heroes handle what's happening outside."
"You do realize you're a student too, yet you said so much."
"Young lady, did you forget that I have an official hero license? Even Endeavor relies on my help to win his battles, you know?" As he spoke, Renault pulled Yaoyorozu closer and embraced her.
"So, what do you want to do now?"
Yaoyorozu locked eyes with Renault, her gaze devoid of any panic.
"Can you guess?"
Renault smirked and turned off the bedroom lights.

Days passed by, and Renault's life had become much more relaxed due to the arrival of the year-end. The main reason was that Ryukyu didn't want to put pressure on everyone. After a busy and challenging year, wasn't it nice to have a relaxed new year?
Everyone, including Renault and the others, as well as the people in the office, wholeheartedly agreed with this.
As for being on duty and such, it was not their turn anymore.
"So, let's have a Christmas party. Everyone, come to the school and join in," Renault invited Yuriko, Mikoto, and Mikumo, who were at home.
"We still have four days, no rush, right?" Yuriko, blowing Mikumo's wet hair, said without even lifting her head.
"Invitations need to be sent in advance. Given the special circumstances this year, we decided to spend it together at school. Besides, I don't want to keep you all at home," Renault said, looking at Mikoto. "Mikoto, you'll come, right?"
"Of course." Mikoto immediately agreed without hesitation. "Yuriko and Mikumo will come too. It's just that Yuriko finds it troublesome, and Mikumo has never experienced it before, right?"
"I've seen Christmas parties on TV," Mikumo said, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Yuriko could only sigh and reluctantly agreed.
She was used to taking care of Mikumo and couldn't completely trust her to attend the party on her own, even if Renault and Mikoto would accompany her.
"In that case, the three of you are also included. But before that, remember to choose a Christmas gift each. We'll randomly exchange gifts, and whichever one you pick will be yours," Renault said.
Mikoto became excited upon hearing this. "It sounds like a lot of fun! Yuriko, tomorrow is Sunday. Let's go out together to pick Christmas gifts! Mikumo, you come too!"
"Sure!"
"I don't mind."
The two agreed, and Mikoto looked at Renault. "Senpai, you don't need to come. We shouldn't let you know."
"Why? I won't spoil the surprise..."
"That's not allowed either!"
"Okay, okay, I understand. But don't buy anything too 'bizarre' as a gift, you know?" Renault cautioned.
"We won't! That's something only you would do, Senpai!"

While Renault and the others were immersed in the joyful atmosphere of preparing for Christmas, the mysterious organization they were secretly investigating had already begun their operations.
Inside a towering office building, a tall and thin man dressed in a suit was holding a glass of red wine while dialing a number on his phone, which he placed in front of him.
Behind him, a man covered in bruises was tied to a chair, with none of his fingers remaining.
Clearly, this person was the victim previously reported in the news, with fingers found at different crime scenes. His true identity, however, was a black-market merchant who supplied goods and equipment to the League of Villains.
The call connected, and the impatient voice of a man came through the phone. "You, how many times have I called you? Why don't you answer?"
The tall, thin man raised an eyebrow and replied, "Well, it's our fault, not Giran's. You must be Twice—Bubaigawara Jin, right?"
"..."
Twice, wearing a dirty tight suit, looked at his phone, a sense of foreboding creeping up on him.
"...Who are you? And where is Giran?"
The other members of the League of Villains immediately crowded around as they saw Twice's reaction.
