Chapter 75 - CH 56: IS IT WAR? IS IT THE END OF THE WORLD? NO! ITS A HAREM(2) (1/2)
”lalalala”
Himiko hummed as she walked towards the toilets where Momo went to hide. Truthfully speaking, she was unable to feel sorry for her. They might have known each other since young, but, in her eyes, Momo was nothing more than a failsafe for her and Kuroha.
Kuroha may say that it didn't matter and that Momo wasn't as useful as she thought but she didn't think so. Kuroha was someone uninterested in most things. Even the revenge that he wanted to have wasn't really a goal but more a feeling of obligation.
At the very least, she never saw his expression contort in hatred. Even when he spoke about killing, even though he took this as a duty, she never saw him express any particularly strong emotions about it. That was why she never tried to confess. She knew that while her chances were higher, it was too soon to gamble.
Anyways, since Kuroha never had a particularly strong desire, he couldn't understand the appeal of Momo outside of combat applications.
There's only one truth. Momo's quirk was powerful enough to destroy a country, be it economically or physically.
Her quirk allowed her to create anything inorganic as long as it wasn't too large, that she understood the composition of what she wanted to create, and that she had enough fat for it.
It means that, as long as she had enough food, she could create an unlimited amount of water, gold, diamond, and other resources. She could create an unlimited amount of weapons and rare material. She could also potentially create imaginary material as long as their existence was theoretically possible. In short, she was a tactical and strategic resource and weapon all in one.
Any country would be ready to declare war just to get a hold on her and her progeny. For such a girl, how could she still be allowed to roam free and do a job as dangerous as being a hero? Despite that, she wasn't being kidnapped and locked in some sort of room nor was she put in some breeding program.
It could only mean one thing. The Yaoyorozu either made a pact with the government or was strong enough that even the government and the other countries didn't dare to attack her.
If she is on their side, it doesn't matter how many criminals they killed, they would most likely get Scott free and perhaps even be praised for it.
Himiko grinned as she stopped in front of the door. This wasn't enough. Everything was nothing more than a speculation. For all she knew, the Japanese government was an upright one who protected his citizens from all dangers. It was close to impossible, but the possibility existed.
As such what could she do in order to protect Kuroha? She could only reunite a large number of people with large influence. The larger the influence, the stronger their protection would be.
(Melissa Shield, was it?)
She knew of David Shield. A world-renowned scientist. His influence was without a doubt, and he even presided over I-Island, a zone outside of normal international law. If she also falls in love with Kuroha, wouldn't it be good?
As for jealousy? As long as she stayed number one in his heart, it didn't matter. She would do everything to protect Kuroha. She wouldn't even hesitate to create a harem for him.
Finally, she calmed her expression and slowly knocked on the door.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
It didn't matter how many hearts were broken nor how many people were used then discarded or destroyed. It didn't matter how much pain she brought or how evil her manipulation was. Only Kuroha mattered. For him, no sacrifice was big enough.
”Momo, open the door. I have an idea.”
On her face, a concerned expression full of sympathy appeared. Any onlooker would only feel that she was a girl worried about her friend.
(All my life, I have worn a mask in order to hide who I'm. My quirk allows me to become anyone I want. Sometimes, I forget even my own identity. But, It doesn't matter. No matter how many masks I wear, even if I completely forget my own identity, even if I have to destroy my own self, I will always, always, always do my all to protect him.)

Kuroha, unable to know about Himiko's resolve, began to chat with Nejire and Melissa.
”Ne ne Kuroha, how did you meet Melissa? How long did you know each other? Are you friends? Family? ...”
”Please, stop.”
Kuroha had to put his hand in order to stop this barrage of questions. He would never understand how someone could ask so many questions in such a short time.
”Her father is a friend of my uncle.”
Obviously he couldn't say that he met her in the center of a large explosion and she took care of him while he was unconscious. He also didn't give the name of his uncle. It was nothing to hide, but he didn't really care about it. For him, the super hero All Might was nothing more than a gentle uncle who doted on him and saved him from hell.
After answering Nejire, he decided to ask Melissa,
”I thought you studied on I-Island, why are you wearing UA uniform?”
