Ren stood in front of Musutafu Station, checking his phone for the fifth time in the last three minutes. He didn't know exactly how things had turned out this way, but somehow he'd managed the impossible: a date with four girls at the same time.
This is either a dream or a nightmare disguised as a dream, he thought as he tucked his phone into his pocket. Probably both.
The weather was perfect for a spring Saturday, with a sun that shone without being too intense and a pleasant breeze that made the morning feel fresh. Ren wore simple casual clothes, consisting of dark jeans, a grey short-sleeved shirt, and sneakers; nothing flashy that would draw too much attention.
Suddenly, he felt two arms wrap around him from behind. A soft, warm body pressed against his back, and a pair of definitely generous breasts pressed against him in a way that left no room for doubt about who it was.
"Guess who it is," a familiar voice whispered in his ear.
Ren smiled. "Hmm, let me think. An invisible girl who enjoys scaring me in public places?"
Hagakure rubbed against him slightly, causing her breasts to press more firmly against his back. "Correct. Did you like what we did together yesterday?"
Ren turned to face her directly, reached out, and gently pinched her cheek.
"Ouch..." Toru made a small pout. "My cheeks... you're going to make them grow."
"It was completely irresponsible," he told her in a serious tone. "We could've been caught. Imagine if our hero days had ended there before they even began."
Hagakure let out a little giggle. "But we didn't get caught."
"Pure luck."
Ren lowered his hand from her cheek to her hip and then, with a quick and decisive movement...
SLAP!
...he firmly grabbed one of her butt cheeks.
"Ngh...!" Toru let out a sharp gasp, her body tensing for an instant.
"But I'll be honest with you," Ren leaned in to whisper directly into her ear while rubbing her backside, "it turned me on way too much."
He could feel Hagakure's body trembling slightly at his words. She leaned closer and planted a quick kiss on his lips before pulling away a bit.
"Ochako's coming," she said quickly, regaining her playful tone.
And she was. In the distance, Ren could see Ochako walking toward them with a huge smile on her face, while Tsuyu came along her side with her usual calm expression, though her eyes showed a spark of excitement rarely seen in her.
"Ren-kun! Hagakure-chan!" Ochako waved a hand in the air while running the last few meters. "Good morning!"
Ren raised his hand to wave. "Good morning, girls. You're right on time."
Ochako was wearing clothes that were definitely more feminine in style: she wore a beige pleated skirt that reached just above her knees, a white short-sleeved blouse with embroidered floral details, and comfortable sandals. Her hair was down, which gave her a more relaxed look and made her look really cute.
Noted, Ren thought as he watched her approach. Out of respect for Ochako, I won't use X-ray vision to look under her clothes today. Today I'll be a decent pig.
Tsuyu, on the other hand, wore denim shorts that accentuated her athletic thighs, firm and well-formed thanks to her fighting style that relied heavily on her legs.
Those thighs definitely make you want to say "choke me," Ren admitted mentally before forcing himself to look away.
Tsuyu also wore a mint green tank top and sneakers; simple but effective.
"How was your morning, Ren-kun?" Ochako asked when she reached them.
"Quiet," Ren replied. "I got up early to make sure I'd be on time."
"That's very responsible of you, kero," Tsuyu commented.
Ren took the moment to get a better look at Hagakure, who was wearing light blue denim overalls over a pink t-shirt. The overalls were tight but comfortable, and they definitely made her look adorable. Of course, the great advantage of being the only one able to see his favorite invisible girl was that he could fully appreciate the view.
And what a view it is, he thought with satisfaction.
The four were chatting animatedly when they heard an energetic voice coming from above.
"Ren-kun! Girls!"
Nejire descended from the sky, landing softly in front of the group with a radiant smile. She wore a beautiful blue dress that reached mid-thigh, with short sleeves and a neckline that highlighted her breasts.
Ren felt saliva pool in his mouth. The dress was elegant yet casual at the same time, and Nejire looked absolutely stunning.
Get those dirty thoughts out of here, he ordered himself while shaking his head. I promised myself I wouldn't look at naked girls today, just enjoy the day like a normal person.
"Nejire-senpai," Ren greeted with a smile. "You look great."
"Don't I?" Nejire did a full spin to show off her outfit. "It took me an hour to decide what to wear. I wanted something pretty but comfortable for the rides."
"You definitely achieved both," Toru commented.
"Thanks!" Nejire joined the group. "Is everyone ready? Because I'm super excited. It's been a long time since I've been to an amusement park."
"I'm excited too," Ochako said enthusiastically. "It's going to be so much fun."
Tsuyu nodded. "Kero, it'll be a good bonding experience."
Ren felt a strange sense of warmth in his chest. This was, technically, the first time he'd go out with friends to an amusement park. In his previous life, he'd never had the chance, and in this new life, he'd been so busy that he hadn't really thought about doing normal things like this. Besides, they were all sexy girls, which definitely added a huge plus to the whole situation.
"Then let's go," Ren said, starting to walk. "The day won't last forever."
The group followed him, chatting animatedly. Ochako and Tsuyu talked about which rides they wanted to try first, while Nejire asked questions about everything she saw. Hagakure walked next to Ren, and although no one else could see her, he noticed how her hand occasionally brushed against his.
******
The amusement park was quite crowded for a Saturday morning. There were families with small children, groups of teenagers, and couples walking hand-in-hand, while cheerful music filled the air along with excited screams coming from the various attractions.
"Look at that one!" Nejire suddenly shouted, pointing toward a massive roller coaster towering into the sky. "That's the one I want to try first!"
Ochako followed the direction of her finger and turned visibly pale at the sight of the massive metal structure.
"T-that one?" she stammered. "The biggest one?"
"Obviously!" Nejire was practically jumping with excitement. "It's the park's main attraction. It reaches speeds up to one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour and has five full loops."
"Sounds incredible," Ren commented enthusiastically.
"Sounds terrifying," Ochako whispered.
"It'll be interesting, kero," Tsuyu said.
"Let's go then!" Nejire took the lead, walking quickly toward the roller coaster line.
The group followed her. The line was moderately long but moved fast. While they waited, Ren noticed how Ochako was getting increasingly nervous, looking up every time they heard screams coming from the ride.
"Are you sure you want to get on?" Ren asked her in a low voice.
"Yes, yes," Ochako replied with false determination. "I can't let fear control me. Besides, if I'm going to be a hero, I have to be brave, right?"
"Heights and bravery are two different things," Ren pointed out.
"I know, but I still want to try."
Finally, it was their turn. The cars had a capacity for two people per row. Ren sat next to Ochako, who immediately grabbed the safety bar with such force that her knuckles turned white. Toru sat with Tsuyu in the row behind them, and Nejire ended up sitting with a stranger girl who had been waiting alone.
"This is going to be amazing!" Nejire shouted from behind.
The ride operator checked that everyone had their safety bars in place and then activated the start. The car began to move slowly, climbing the first giant ascent.
"Oh God, this is way too scary," Ochako muttered as they climbed higher and higher.
Ren looked down and had to admit the view was impressive; they could see the whole park from up there along with a large part of the city.
"Relax," he told Ochako, "it's going to be okay."
"Easy for you to say," she replied with a trembling voice.
They reached the top. For a second, everything was completely still, and Ren could see the panicked expression on Ochako's face. And then, they fell.
WOOSH
"AHHHHHHH!!!" Ochako's scream mixed with those of all the other passengers as the car plummeted downward at a breakneck speed.
Ren screamed too, but his was out of pure excitement. Adrenaline surged through his veins as he felt like his stomach had been left behind at the top; the wind whipped his face and the speed was absolutely maddening.
This is amazing!
They entered the first dark tunnel at full speed. Inside, they could barely see anything, and the sound of the screams amplified against the walls while Ren felt the tight curves swerving left and right. It was then that he noticed Ochako was clinging to him with desperate strength.
"Ren-kun!" she screamed, pressing against his side.
Ren was about to respond when he noticed something alarming: Ochako's blouse, which had been perfectly tucked in at the start of the ride, had slipped down considerably with the violent movement of the car. He could clearly see the upper curve of her breasts, and her pink bra was dangerously close to failing its job.
Oh, shit.
Ochako's nipples were threatening to pop out of her bra at any second. If that happened, everyone in the car would see them when they exited the tunnel.
"Uraraka!" Ren shouted, trying to make himself heard over the roar of the wind. "Your breasts...! Uraraka, you're going to be exposed!"
But she was completely lost in her own world of terror, her eyes squeezed shut as she clung to him.
What a situation. I guess my ecchi moment has arrived.
Ren made a quick decision. Like a true gentleman who wouldn't let a girl suffer public humiliation with an exposed chest on a roller coaster, he moved slightly while she was still clinging to him. Carefully but decisively, he slipped his fingers under Ochako's bra and blouse, trying to tuck everything back into place before they left the tunnel.
His fingers made direct contact with her nipples.
"Ngh!" Ochako let out an involuntary moan at the sudden stimulus, her eyes snapping open with her face turning completely red.
She looked down in confusion and saw how Ren literally had his hands inside her blouse, adjusting her clothes to cover her just as they emerged from the tunnel into the daylight. Ren quickly pulled his hands back and turned to look at her with a bright smile, giving a thumbs-up in a victory gesture.
"Crisis avoided!" he shouted over the sound of the wind.
Ochako opened her mouth, processing what had just happened. Her brain was clearly trying to register if Ren had really put his hands inside her clothes in those last five seconds.
"KYAAAAAAAA!!!" The scream of embarrassment she let out was so loud it was probably heard throughout the whole park.
And then, she fainted. Her body slumped against the seat while the car continued to loop around.
"Ochako?" Ren shook her gently. "Ochako? Shit, maybe I overdid it."
The rest of the ride was a bit less exciting, considering Ren spent the whole time holding an unconscious Ochako to make sure she didn't hit her head.
When the car finally stopped, Nejire was the first to jump out of her seat.
"That was amazing!" she shouted, her eyes sparkling. "Did you see that last loop? I thought I was going to fly out!"
Toru and Tsuyu also got off, looking a bit dizzy but intact. It was then that Nejire noticed Ochako.
"Is she...?"
"She fainted," Ren explained as he carefully carried the girl in his arms. "I think the scare was too much for her."
"We should take her somewhere she can rest, kero," Tsuyu suggested.
They found a seating area with tables near a milkshake stand.
"I'll go buy something to drink," Nejire offered. "What do you want?"
"Chocolate for me," Hagakure said.
"Strawberry, kero," Tsuyu requested.
"Vanilla is fine," Ren added.
Nejire nodded and headed toward the stand. When she returned, she took the opportunity to sit next to Toru.
"So," Toru said while taking a sip of her milkshake, "that roller coaster was pretty intense."
"Wasn't it?" Nejire smiled broadly. "Though I wish I'd sat with you guys. The girl I ended up sitting with was crying the whole time."
"Poor girl," Hagakure commented sympathetically.
The two continued chatting animatedly. Ren noticed with satisfaction that Hagakure and Nejire seemed to be getting along very well; that initial tension he'd noticed in Toru was gone. Meanwhile, Tsuyu sat next to Ren, who was still holding Ochako in his arms.
"Do you think she's okay?" Tsuyu asked, looking at her friend.
"She should be," Ren replied. "It was just a fainting spell from the shock."
"That's a relief. Ochako-chan is my best friend, and I'd be very worried if something bad happened to her, kero."
Ren nodded, adjusting his grip so she'd be more comfortable. She was completely out, but at least she seemed to be resting peacefully. About five minutes passed before Ochako began to move slowly. Her eyes opened in confusion, blinking as her brain processed where she was.
"Hm...?" she murmured softly.
The first thing she registered was that she was hugging someone. Looking up, she saw Ren's face watching her with relief.
"Ren-kun!"
"Ochako, you're finally awake," Ren said with a smile. "We were worried; you fainted on the roller coaster."
Ochako blinked, trying to process the information. Slowly, she straightened up to sit better and, without thinking, settled herself directly onto Ren's lap, pressing her butt against his crotch.
"I fainted?" she asked, still disoriented.
Ochako, don't move like that! You're going to give me an erection! Ren shouted internally.
"I'm glad you're awake, Ochako-chan," Tsuyu said from the other side. "We were very scared, kero. Fortunately, it was only for five minutes."
"Only five minutes?" Ochako turned slightly to look at Tsuyu, and that movement caused her backside to rub directly against Ren. "It felt like hours."
STOP! STOP MOVING! Ren's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"It was very fast, kero," Tsuyu continued in a calm tone. "Ren-kun held you the whole time to make sure you didn't fall out of the car."
"Ren-kun did that..." Ochako moved again, shifting her weight from one leg to the other, completely oblivious to the effect she was causing.
Ren was making a superhuman effort to think about things that weren't Ochako's butt.
"That was very kind of him," she smiled while talking to Tsuyu, and then adjusted herself once more in her improvised seat.
It was that last movement that finally made Ochako realize where she was sitting. She looked down, saw Ren's legs, and felt the pressure directly beneath her. Her face went from a soft pink to a deep red in a matter of seconds.
"I'M SO SORRY, REN-KUN!" Ochako jumped up so fast she almost tripped. "I didn't mean to... I wasn't trying to... sorry, sorry, sorry!"
She bowed deeply, her face burning. Internally, she felt an enormous relief mixed with mortification.
Thank God it was all my imagination. I fainted from the scare and not because Ren-kun was... adjusting my clothes. Yes, it was definitely just the scare.
Her mind had conveniently blocked that traumatic memory, replacing it with a much more innocent version.
"Don't worry," Ren told her with a smile, "actually, you're very soft. We should do it again another day."
Hagakure let out a laugh. "Ren-kun, don't tease Ochako-chan!"
Nejire laughed too, clearly amused by the situation. "I think Ochako-chan is going to faint again if you keep that up."
Sure enough, Ochako looked like she was on the verge of collapsing again. Tsuyu interrupted the awkward moment by gently tapping the table.
"I think it's time to find the next game. How about we try something less intense, kero?"
"Good idea," Ren agreed, standing up. "How about those carnival games? We could win some prizes."
"Oh, yes!" Ochako seemed to regain her energy. "I've always wanted to win one of those giant teddy bears."
The group headed toward the games area. There were several stands: knocking down bottles, fishing for ducks, ring toss... Ren stopped in front of one that required hitting a target with a mallet.
"This one looks fun," he commented.
"The grand prize is that giant bear," Nejire pointed toward a huge polar bear plush.
Ren paid and took the mallet. It was heavy but manageable. I could use telekinesis for this, he considered, but where's the fun in that.
He positioned himself, raised the mallet, and brought it down with all his strength.
BANG.
The weight shot up fast but stopped just before the bell. Ren frowned; he'd underestimated the force needed. He tried again with more momentum.
BANG.
Again, it stopped millimeters away.
"This game is rigged," Hagakure whispered.
Ren suspected she was right. For his third attempt, he concentrated. Just as the mallet made contact, he applied a small additional telekinetic nudge.
CLANG.
The bell rang throughout the park.
"Congratulations!" the operator said, surprised. "You're the first to win today. Which prize do you want?"
Ren looked at his group. Nejire watched him with interest, Tsuyu was impressed, Hagakure was smiling, and Ochako looked somewhat shy. After the moment on the roller coaster, he decided it was the least he could do.
"The giant polar bear."
He walked over to Ochako and held out the plushie, which was so big he could barely be seen behind it.
"Here. It's yours."
"F-for me? Are you sure?"
"Completely. Besides, you look like someone who'd take very good care of it."
Ochako hugged the bear against her chest with a huge smile. "Thank you, Ren-kun! Thank you so much!"
Suddenly, Hagakure climbed onto him like a koala, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.
"It's time to go to the haunted house!" she shouted excitedly.
Ren stumbled from the weight but kept his balance. "The haunted house? Are you sure?"
"Completely! And you're going to protect me from all the monsters."
"I don't think prop monsters are that scary."
"That's easy to say when you're not invisible," Toru replied. "Sometimes the actors trip over me because they don't see me. It's very awkward."
Nejire laughed as they headed toward the Victorian-style mansion decorated with cobwebs. Ren couldn't help but smile as he felt Hagakure on his back.
This is definitely a day I'm going to remember.
And the day was only just beginning.
