Chapter 46: Surprised

~Tatsumi POV~

Waiting for a while I let the kid sleep in an actual bed for the night considering she needed it more than anyone at the moment. Hell, the poor girl barely had any muscle on her but with that quirk suppression cuff, she will be fine.

Although how do we exactly take care of her is a problem?

We can always send her to the heroes or the rat office but then comes the issue of our current status of villains. I mean we could always go charge right in and have Eri go to Nezu as he was pretty much the right guy for the job.

Both experimented by true scum, have relatable backstories, and his fucking rich as hell to give Eri a new life.

He sounded to become someone more worthy to take care of her than the lazy potato Aizawa but that was in the fandom on that one.

While we all agreed that Rumi would be the next member, we have to make sure to test out that we can trust her after all she is a hero after all we can't be too certain of things when it comes to people.

Even if they are like that in the anime or manga from her knowledge the chance of her betraying us is somewhat high if you consider her position and ours. We did technically break the law on a wide public scale so it's safe to assume that there might be a trust issue with that but with Eri here everything changes.

We can get real proof of her trusting us if we fuck this up, we can't come here in peace if the heroes hound us or the people.

But with Eri we can do the Overhaul Arc to see what she says is true while not revealing too much information. I mean all of the people I met were certainly different from their counterparts at least in some way.

It might be my paranoia talking here but I can always test to see what Mirko's words say is true by proving it with action. I can use my [Observation Haki] to get my answer from her when the time is right.

Although the other members might think differently as I did talk a lot about how good she was on paper but we never met the person in the flesh so we could shoot ourselves in the foot here if we reveal each other.

Sigh…

For now, though the best thing to do is test Mirko's trust by having her help with Eri's situation and taking down Overhaul and forcing him to give up his [Overhaul] quirk. In some ways, his quirk is too broken to an idiot's hands like him.

The reason I call Kai an idiot is because he could truly be the next AFO if he knew how to use it properly.

[Overhaul] Kai's Quirk grants him the ability to disassemble anything he touches, as well as reassemble it in any configuration he desires, effectively giving him full control over the matter.

He can disassemble people to kill them or reassemble them to heal their wounds.

He can also do this to himself and even merge his body with others; even allowing him to use their Quirks, such as Shin's [Confession] and Rikiya's [Vitality Stealing]. He can also apparently regenerate his limbs without having to make contact with himself and can reform and reshape their bodies any which way he wants.

In battle, Kai can freely manipulate his surroundings. He can modify the ground to maneuver himself and reshape the area into a state that is advantageous for him and harmful for his opponents.

By touching his targets, he can completely blow their body apart, whether it be a limb or the entirety of it. This grants Kai a way to cure his and his allies' wounds during a battle, although he has noted that the deconstruction phase is very painful

The best part of this ability is the small fact that when Kai decides to utilize Overhaul on a person, he can heal any injuries or ailments they once had by reconstructing them to a biologically perfect state.

Biological perfect state…

That alone speaks more worth than AFO or OFA in such ways. It is practically a superior version of AFO because if Kai were to take only the quirk on the person into his body he will be able to use it although with maybe a limit but still something possible.

But the reverse is also true as well because Kai could also get rid of his quirk by transferring to someone else while it's in effect. I have to make sure to take his [Overhaul] with some persuasion or with some assistance from the chat member.

Plus once they learn what this bastard did, I do not doubt that they will agree since anyone would want that piece of shit dead for good. In a way, it's because I know Kai's history and behavior that he will give me his power as all of the fanbase hate his guts for harming Eri once she first appeared. By god she was so cute at the beginning and when she was saved most of the fanbase went wild on that.

Actually…

Now that I have time to think about it could I practically use some of my points to get some info on them as well as what happened to Lady Nagant in this world?

I mean I have no idea how she's still around considering she must have killed the current head of the president of the HPSC. Hmm… now this got my curiosity going as I have been cooking for the rest to come I might as well see the cost.

I don't need to know about Hawks as he's probably more loyal to that place as he was picked up at such a young age. Seriously though what's with the government using kids as weapons and spies?

Couldn't they have done this with a clone in this world honestly? Because seriously if AFO's sidekick managed to create clones of Nomu's what's stopping the government from doing the same?

Sigh…

I digress that train of thought as I checked the store and found the MHA world one as I checked for background files…. Ah! There it is the one about Lady Nagant and it looks like the cost isn't as expensive well might as well buy it for reasons.

As I bought the files I see it materialize to me as I made sure to preset the food as I needed to wait for it to cook well done. Now then my little anomaly what have you been doing differently from the original?

Let's see what the bio says about her I'll skim some parts now then…

Kaina Tsutsumi was groomed, also known as Lady Nagant, to become an assassin, secretly killing corrupt heroes and villains under the people's eyes, to preserve their peace.

Lady Nagant's mental health began to worsen as a result of also having to keep up the public façade, and when she questioned the morality of these actions and suggested being transparent that it led her to a point that the current President threatened her.

In that resulted in a small fight as Kaina tried to ask why before she was jumped by his hidden guards as they began to implant a tracking bomb chip in her neck!

The fuck is going with this version of events!

Rather than executing Lady Nagant, the current President chose to instead have her become an obedient slave for the HSPC for the rest of her time even as far as mentoring the newest replacement Hawks in case she ever went rogue.

She had disagreed with the President's methods and was punished to serve as a lapdog or have her life ended so as there was no fear of information leaks, as well as prevent her from being executed, and using her as a prime example to discourage disputes between Heroes and the HSPC.

The president used his influence to ensure that nothing of this become public knowledge with his wealth showing off that Kaina can't escape even if she tried.

From that point on she has solely worked for the HSPC while keeping appearances only worsening her mental health to the point she recovered only for so long as she can get her hands-on revenge on the man who put her in this position…

Whoa…

Placing the file bio on the table I looked pretty much shocked by the events happening because so far everything about it is almost the same as her original version. Except for this one though got caught and became a slave worker.

Well, there goes my idea of thinking she's a dangerous person…

Eh…

Technically she is still a very dangerous person but maybe we can get some benefits from her if we save her from her captor. And from reading on the paper it appears that she hates that pres.

At least though it makes Kaina Tsutsumi more relatable to like as well as a potential back plans as another member with her experience and as someone who's killed she would probably want to start a new life.

And here I thought she would be an emotionless assassin spy-like Hawks while she's similar to… Akame… and Kurome…

I should do something about those two considering they are inside the Akame ga Kill Zero time at this point. Plus if I have the [Overhaul] quirk I can help out Kurome and her friends in the process.

Because if I recall correctly she was heavily drugged along with the others in her team and if I use [Overhaul] on them they could be returned in tiptop shape without any issues at all. I guess I found another reason to help them out plus with the shop I can finally use it to track down the twins.

For now though with my current strength, I do need a place for them to stay and I can't bring them to my home village that's asking for trouble. Maybe…

*Slam*

"Hey, Tatsumi, Saeko, or Hinata I'm finally back!"

Opening the door I see Ruby Rose come out happily as she saw me with a smile as I then sense Hinata and Saeko auras coming right behind Ruby. Good.

That just means I have enough time to explain the situation to them as they start to come one by one I got their attention as I spoke in a serious tone, "Hey gals! I have VERY important info I need to share and a slight detour in objectives! Would you please listen!"

Getting their attention I began to explain everything I know from the Yakuza Arc as well as explain to them about Eri's situation. Hope they listen and help me out.
