Chapter 97: Never Drinking Again
The next day, already in the morning, Aoi looked out the window. Sunlight poured through the glass, casting long golden streaks across the hotel room floor. The city of Santa Monica stretched out below—palm trees swaying gently in the breeze, distant waves crashing against the shore, the faint sound of traffic drifting up from the streets. Aoi thought:
—Here we are... Or rather, better to go out for a walk.
He grabbed a black jacket from the chair, slipped it on over his shirt, and left the hotel room. The hallway was quiet, the carpet muffling his footsteps as he made his way to the elevator. Down in the lobby, the morning crowd was already moving—business travelers checking out, families heading to breakfast, the occasional tourist snapping photos of the decor. Aoi stepped outside into the warm California air and began walking the streets.
Aoi thought, watching the people rushing past him with purpose:
—Well, no matter the place, the worker's life is really tough. But then, this was the place where All Might stayed for a few years to escape everyone for a while while he got stronger to defeat him. But honestly, All For One was really stupid back then. Instead of attacking All Might and ending him right away, he focused on Nana Shimura and let the guy who was going to defeat him grow up. What an idiot. This garbage called "evil genius"... I really don't know what to say about that.
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a voice coming from an alley:
—Hey guys, you guys are really unlucky.
Aoi, hearing this voice, headed toward the alley to see what it was.
Arriving there, he saw a muscular woman about 1.90m tall, wearing a gray jacket, glasses, and a cap. She stood in the shadows, arms crossed, looking down at a group of would-be thugs who were now scrambling to get away.
Aoi looked at her and activated his Observation Haki. He then felt a massive signature of heat and vital force—raw, overwhelming power that filled the narrow space like a furnace.
Aoi felt the corner of his mouth twitch and thought:
—What shitty luck of mine... I had the misfortune of running into Star and Stripe disguised, probably on her day off.
Aoi said under his breath:
—I'm going to get out of here slowly. I didn't see anything. I don't know anything.
He was walking away when he felt a gust of wind coming toward him. He gave a tired smile and said:
—Shitty life.
He then turned the punch, clashing his fist against Star's fist, creating a shockwave that pushed her backward. The force rippled through the alley, knocking over trash cans and sending papers flying.
Star was surprised and said:
—So you were the boss of those idiots? You're strong, but too bad... The fist of justice is equal for everyone!
She then punched him with even more force, the air around her fist compressing with sheer power.
Aoi, seeing this, sighed. He understood that this crazy woman had mistaken him for a thug. He then kicked her hard, sending her flying far away. She crashed through a stack of crates, wood splintering around her.
Star got up and looked at Aoi seriously. If the first time was carelessness on her part, the second was impossible. He was too strong.
Aoi said:
—You crazy woman, you must be a fan of that heroine Star and Stripe. But you don't need to attack me like a madwoman, right? I bet you're one of those vigilantes.
Star, hearing that she was her own fan, felt the corner of her mouth twitch. She looked at him, not knowing what to say.
Aoi then disappeared from in front of her using Soru.
Star was shocked. When she turned to the side, she felt a hand on her neck. She was shocked. When she was about to activate New Order, Aoi removed his hand and stepped back.
Aoi looked at her and said:
—See? It's dangerous. You play vigilante heroine and you can end up getting hurt. Understood?
Star looked at Aoi seriously and asked:
—Who are you?
Aoi said with a tired smile:
—I was trying to explain, but your crazy woman already came attacking me. I'm a tourist from Japan. My name is Aoi and my quirk is copying. I came here just to see what was happening because I heard a noise. But when I saw you were capable of handling it, I was leaving.
Star said:
—Then why were you sneaking away?
Aoi said:
—I was just trying to leave without drawing your attention so you wouldn't confuse me with their reinforcements. But it seems I couldn't avoid that.
Star said:
—How do you prove what you're saying is true?
Aoi said smiling:
—I've heard that busty women are dumb, but muscular ones... This is the first time I've seen that.
Star got angry hearing this:
—Who are you calling dumb and masculine, huh?
Aoi said smiling:
—First, you know I had the chance to kill you if I wanted to. So if I were a villain, you wouldn't be alive right now.
Star grabbed her neck and fell silent. She thought:
—Well, it's true. He was so close... If he wanted to kill me, he could have attacked my neck without hesitation.
Aoi smiling at her, who had fallen silent, said:
—And second, I didn't call you masculine. I actually think muscular girls are super beautiful. So, goodbye.
He said while leaving the alley.
Star, seeing him walking away, shouted:
—Wait!
Aoi said:
—What now? I thought we had already settled everything. What is it now?
Then Star approached him and said:
—Even if it's true, I can't let someone as powerful as you walk around alone. If you really just want to walk around, then you won't mind if a local resident shows you the sights. And my name is Star.
Aoi said:
—You're really a hero fan, huh? Crazy woman... Even your name has to do with a heroine. Now even going as far as accompanying me so I don't carry out my world domination plan. You want that, don't you?
Star said smiling:
—What? Is it too much to ask?
Aoi smiled, having an idea. He then pulled her hand and held it and said:
—Then let's go.
Star was shocked to have her hand held, not knowing what to do.
Aoi looked at her and smiled and thought:
—Well, it's true. You've been treated as a weapon, heroine or general your whole life. You don't know how to react when someone treats you just as a simple woman.
Star snapped out of the shock and said:
—Why are you holding my hand? I can walk by myself.
Aoi smiling said:
—Well, I originally planned to find a pretty girl to go out with. But with you by my side that's impossible. So I'll take you on a date instead.
Star was shocked and thought:
—What? I'm the most powerful woman (and probably the tallest) he's ever seen and he treats me like an 'obstacle' to his date?
Star looked at him angrily and said:
—So I'm your 'consolation prize' just because I was in your way? You have a lot of nerve for someone who doesn't know who I am.
Aoi smiling said:
—I know. A crazy Star fan is following me. Well, now let's go.
He said pulling her hand:
—Well, let's go then.
She then pulled him to a hot dog stand in the square. Sitting on the bench, Star watched him while he ate his hot dog and asked:
—What is it?
Aoi said:
—It's nothing. It's just that I need a lot of food to replenish quirk consumption. This level of food isn't even the beginning.
Star said curiously:
—So you eat a lot?
Aoi said, eating a hot dog:
—At least a hundred of these.
Aoi sighed and said:
—I don't know how All Might lived on hot dogs. Me, when I was here, a guy that size and this food... It doesn't match.
Star got angry and said:
—Are you saying we let All Might go hungry?
Aoi looked at her who had gotten angry and laughed heartily:
—Hahahahah!
Star, seeing him laughing, got confused and asked:
—What is it? Why are you laughing out of nowhere?
Aoi said:
—It's nothing. It's because I didn't expect you to be such a crazy All Might fan that you got angry just because I talked about the food.
Star got embarrassed hearing this.
Aoi looked at her and said:
—But honestly, I didn't know he was so popular even outside the country. I thought he only had fans of your level in Japan.
Star said happily:
—All Might is an example of a hero even here. He is the example of a hero that many young people want to follow.
Aoi said:
—Interesting that. One person has such a big impact on the world. Well, but most of his attacks have names from American cities, so it was to be expected the influence he had here. After all, he lived here for several years. He must have saved many people.
Star said softly:
—You have no idea.
Aoi said:
—Honestly, I admire him, but I would never want to be him.
Star, hearing this, got curious and asked:
—Why?
Aoi sighed and said:
—Well, despite seeming glorious, the symbol of peace has a fatal flaw.
Star got serious and asked:
—What is that flaw?
Aoi smiled tiredly and said:
—You will always be the symbol of peace of the world without family, without children, without a wife. This is not a type of life that anyone can endure. So despite admiring him, I would never want that kind of life. After all, I'm not as strong as he is to sacrifice the happiness of those I love for the world. That's why I refused when he asked me to be his heir.
Star said:
—I understand... I understand. You refused...
She then got shocked and looked at him:
—You refused what?
Aoi said:
—Can you not yell in my ear?
Star said:
—Forget that. You refused to be All Might's heir? Are you crazy? You're lying, right?
Aoi said:
—Of course I'm not lying. Why would I lie?
Star asked:
—Then what is All Might's real name?
She asked and thought:
—All Might's name is something I only discovered after becoming a heroine and gaining access to various information. So if he's lying, I'll know.
Aoi said:
—Well, I think there's no harm in saying it. It's just the name anyway. Even if it's a secret to the public, it's not that secret. His name is Toshinori Yagi. Happy?
Star said in shock:
—So you were telling the truth...
Aoi said:
—Of course.
She then punched him, which he dodged and said:
—What are you doing, you crazy woman?
Star said angrily:
—How could you refuse to be his heir? Are you crazy? How many people want to be in your place?
Aoi said:
—Yes, but I simply can't. I don't know how to answer the necessary question to be in that position.
Star calmed down and said:
—What question is that?
Aoi sat down and stayed silent and said:
—Simple: if one day you were on the battlefield and everything depended on you to not die, but at the same time your family was attacked and would die if you didn't go help. But if you leave, the people on the battlefield die and many heroes and civilians... And if you don't go, your family dies. Who do you choose?
Star fell silent. It was impossible to answer that.
Aoi said:
—I don't hesitate even for a second to choose my family. After all, I'm selfish, I admit it. I'm not going to sacrifice those I love for a bunch of strangers whose names I don't even know to survive. And because I have that conviction that I don't accept All Might's training.
Star looked at him in shock.
Aoi smiling said:
—And that's why I don't accept being the symbol of peace. For that reason. Imagine what happens if I leave the battlefield. Have you thought about the damage it would cause to see the symbol of peace abandon the battlefield toward his family while they die? It's not something very glorious to think about, right? Even if I save my family and run back to the battlefield, many people will already have died. So even if everyone doesn't die, I would have already sacrificed several of them for my family. It's difficult, isn't it, All Might fan?
Star fell silent listening to this. She knew that if she were in his place in that situation, she wouldn't know which decision to make. After all, it was impossible to be okay no matter which side she chose. After all, on one side was her sister and on the other side the world.
Star then said, standing up and pulling his hand:
—Well, let's go.
Aoi said standing up:
—We're going where?
Star said smiling:
—Let's go to a bar to drink a beer to improve my mood after this depressing conversation. Let's go.
Aoi said:
—Well, let's go. What could go wrong, right?
He smiled and followed her.
The next day, in the hotel, Aoi opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling and thought:
—What the hell... Where am I?
He got up to see where he was. He turned to the side and saw Star naked, hugging him and sleeping.
Aoi put his hand on his face and thought:
—Shit. I came here to get Star's blood... But not to get her entire.
Aoi looked at her sleepy and said:
—What the hell... Ah...
Aoi then remembered that after the bar they were a bit drunk and one thing led to another and here they were.
Aoi said looking at Star's naked and muscular body:
—Well, shit. I've come this far, so fuck it.
Aoi then lowered himself and went to Star's legs. He opened her pussy while playing with her anus with his finger, making her moan loudly even while sleeping. He pushed his finger deep into her anus, making her have an intense orgasm, her body trembling as a hoarse moan escaped her parted lips.
He then grabbed his hard cock and thrust it straight into her muscular pussy, feeling the hot, tight walls envelop him completely. Star moaned loudly, the sound echoing in the silent room as he began to move, thrusting deep into her womb, each deep, rhythmic thrust making her muscles contract around him.
While sucking on her firm, full breasts, licking and nibbling on the hardened nipples, Star woke up suddenly. She then saw Aoi sucking on her breast while fucking her hard. She moaned loudly and asked:
—What are you doing?
Aoi released her breast and said:
—I don't remember yesterday right, so I'm having fun again.
He said while thrusting his cock even deeper into her pussy, making her moan loudly, the wet, rhythmic sound filling the room.
Star said:
—Harder...
He then thrust into her pussy all the way and came inside, filling her with hot, thick spurts, making her tremble violently with pleasure, her legs shaking as the orgasm tore through her.
He then turned her on her stomach and thrust his cock into her anus. Star said:
—Go slow... Ah...
Aoi thrust everything into her anus and began to move, the slow motion turning into deep, fast thrusts, making her moan loudly while biting the pillow, her body arching in pleasure. The tight, hot sensation enveloped him completely, each thrust making both of them moan together.
Aoi then came deep inside her ass, filling her with more hot cum, making her pass out from pleasure, her body limp and satisfied falling onto the sheets.
Aoi lay on the side and thought:
—Well, now it's done. I did her twice. Well...
Aoi just closed his eyes and thought:
—I'm going to sleep a little.
