Lancer didn't really have any requirements for a place to sleep. He had slept in offices and in cars, in deserts and in rainforests, and he had even slept in a pile of corpses before. Of course, he wouldn't refuse a good place, but when he had no other choice, he could make do with anything, but the prerequisite was that he wouldn't cause trouble for himself or others.
So he chose————————to sneak back into the 'Hero Academy'.
He remembered that there were a lot of empty spaces at that school. It should be fine if he stayed there for one night, right?
And then————————
"What the heck! Is this necessary?"
Lancer mouth twitched as he stood outside the school.
When he had snuck in before, the school mainly had ordinary surveillance cameras, but now? Lancer saw at least four or five different kinds of non-lethal traps, not to mention the traps he couldn't find... Who knows how many there were?
'It seems I can't get in tonight. Maybe I should find a park and just make do with one night?'
Thinking about it, this seemed to be the simplest method, and he simply gave up. But there were also a lot of troubles, for example, he had no map and had no idea where the parks were.
And what was even more troublesome was that the night was the peak period for many 'Pro Heroes' to work. He could see Pro Heroes patrolling everywhere, so it was also very troublesome for him to move around.
After finding a relatively tall building nearby and climbing up it, Lancer used his 'Eagle Eye' to start searching. He quickly found a place with trees everywhere and no buildings nearby.
'This world really cares about greenery~'
After sighing, he headed towards that place. It was obvious that he had decided to go there and find a random tree to make do with for one night.
A ray of sunlight shone into the room from outside the window, and the girl who had been sleeping on the bed groggily opened her eyes. After looking out the window blankly for a while, her eyes suddenly widened.
'I fell asleep like this on the bed last night?'
Looking at her slightly wrinkled clothes, Momo Yaoyorozu face turned a little red, but then she quickly took off her clothes and changed into a tracksuit.
Because her 'quirk' didn't strengthen her body much, and the condition for activating her 'quirk' was to consume her own 'energy,' Momo Yaoyorozu had been training persistently every day, year after year, since the day she decided to become a 'hero.'
Indeed, because of her special quirk, she was highly regarded by many people, but this was just a prerequisite. If she didn't work hard herself, it would still be meaningless.
And she, without a doubt, had both the talent and the corresponding effort, which was her source of pride!
Because she had to go to class in the morning, Momo Yaoyorozu morning training was basically aerobic exercise.
Momo Yaoyorozu, who was wearing a short shirt and shorts, jogged in her 'private garden' after telling the maid what she wanted for breakfast.
"Huff~ huff~"
As she continued to run, her panting became heavier and heavier, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered because she knew that the longer she persisted, the better the effect of the exercise would be.
But just at this moment, her thigh suddenly felt numb, and her right foot, which was stepping out, also became a little deformed.
'Not good!'
Just as Momo Yaoyorozu was about to close her eyes, she found that her shoulder was being held up by someone.
She opened her eyes and saw a strange man in a shirt looking at her with a helpless expression.
'Who is this guy? Is he a kidnapper?'
But before she could even ask, the strange man had already spoken.
"Seriously, these young people. They'll do anything to lose weight."
Lose weight?
Listening to the other party's complaint, Momo Yaoyorozu face immediately turned red. Her waist, which was slightly thicker than her peers, had always been one of the things she cared about most. Although her family's private doctor had told her countless times that her body proportions were absolutely perfect and that it would be abnormal if her waist was thinner, she still cared about it a lot.
But at this moment, her silence seemed to have been misunderstood by the strange man, and the other party spoke again.
"Which direction is your house in from the park? I'll walk you to the park entrance and have your family come and get you."
"House? Park? This is my house..."
Momo Yaoyorozu words immediately made the man, who had been looking helpless, freeze.
"This... is your house? This park... no, this forest is yours?"
Looking at the other party's surprised expression, she nodded very frankly. But at the same time, she had already pressed the 'alarm device' on her body. There was no doubt that she was stalling for time. As for that alarm device? She had been wearing it on her wrist ever since the day she fainted from exhaustion in the 'garden'. It not only had a positioning function but could also alert her based on her physical condition and notify the servants at home to come and get her.
And Lancer on the other side didn't know that the girl he was holding had pulled the alarm. He was just simply surprised that the place he had spent the night was not a park but someone's private property.
'He's really rich~'
Lancer couldn't help but sigh.
Although Lancer financial situation had always been good, at first he was an investigator, then he climbed to a high rank, and then he became a general, but the common point was that he had never enjoyed it, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But soon, he heard a mechanical sound from all directions...
"Am I being surrounded?"
Lancer couldn't help but mutter to himself, but Momo Yaoyorozu, who was standing up with her shoulder being held by him, suddenly tensed up. She didn't expect Lancer to have discovered that she was surrounded so quickly.
'No matter what, the other party probably doesn't know my ability. When he takes me hostage later, I'll hit him hard with a taser!'
Although she couldn't create any large weapons because of her excessive physical exhaustion, a small item like a taser was no problem. The most important thing was that the other party probably wouldn't expect her to resist, right?
But just as she was pretending to look scared————————
"Sorry~ I thought this was a park, and I didn't expect it to be private property. But at least I 'saved' you once, so we're even!"
Lancer had originally wanted to send the other party to the 'park' entrance, but now it seemed that it wasn't necessary to be that troublesome. But as he 'escaped', he was thinking about another thing————————
'By the way, should I come back to sleep here tonight? Besides maybe being woken up by this girl in the morning, it seems like there's nothing else wrong with it? From the looks of it, there shouldn't be anyone else here to bother me, right?'
In a situation that Momo Yaoyorozu had not even thought about, her 'garden' seemed to have been designated as a temporary residence by Lancer...
