"...Fine, fine."
Stealing a kiss first thing in the morning... honestly, you're in a remarkably good mood today, girl. What a handful you are. By the way, where is my nightwear? You stripped it off me last night and... I don't see it anywhere. Whatever. I'll just head to the bath as I am.
Today is the Sports Festival. A day to move my body to my heart's content, eat a delicious bento, and then move some more. Hmph. I suppose I am looking forward to it after all. Even if this is just "play" to me, a good competition is always welcome.
Now then. It's time to trample my classmates. First place belongs to me.
After grooming myself and eating breakfast, I headed to the classroom. Even though my "internship" is technically over, Himiko and I are still living in the concrete dorm on U.A. grounds. The immediate Curse threat in the school is handled, but I am still a high-priority guard target. Plus, I still have to produce more Cursed Eyes.
I wonder how my parents are doing. Things moved so fast I didn't expect to be living in a dorm this soon. I'll have to ask for permission to go see them once this is all over.
That aside, someone needs to tell me how to keep Himiko under control. Ever since we moved into the dorms, her "advances" have become far more frequent. She has no self-restraint. Just because there are no prying eyes doesn't mean she should be coming after me in places that aren't the bedroom or the bath...
"Mawari, a word."
I was lost in thought about how to discipline Himiko when I realized morning homeroom had ended. Aizawa was calling for me. Everyone else had already headed for the stadium. Is he really going to make me go alone? Is that wise? I will get lost.
"Originally, we hadn't planned for you to participate, so we haven't prepared anything special for you... but there's an opening for the Student Pledge at the opening ceremony. You want it?"
"No."
"Then I'll leave it to Bakugo as planned."
"Wait. I'll do it."
I found myself performing a spectacular about-face. Why would you even consider letting my "underling" handle the Student Oath? It would be an absolute disaster. Are you a fool, Aizawa? Truly a fool?
"I'm glad you said that. It's a help. Here's the script. Don't mess it up."
"...I suppose it can't be helped. Now, how do I get to the stadium from here?"
We were currently in the school hallway, but I had no idea how to find the venue. I could have asked a classmate, but they'd all left while I was being talked to.
"...Follow me. Don't wander off on your own."
"Hmph. Lead the way."
It's the Sports Festival. I have no desire to miss the event because I got lost in my own school's backyard. I shall obediently follow someone who knows the way rather than wandering off. Last time I got lost in the woods, I got lectured for an hour; I'd like to avoid a repeat of that.
Still... the Sports Festival. I don't know what kind of events they have in store, but I'm entering every single one of them. I'm going to enjoy today to the fullest. Himiko is coming to watch, too...
...Come to think of it, what is she doing about her own sports festival?
I don't mind her coming to cheer for me, but... is that allowed? Well, whatever. I'll let her do as she pleases. This school prides itself on a "free" atmosphere. I'm sure missing a festival or two is permitted.
I would later feel a strong urge to punch my past self for being so naive. I had completely forgotten that on the day I was told I couldn't participate, Himiko had been wearing a wicked, plotting smile. I had forgotten how she had stormed the staff room with Jiro, Yaoyorozu, and Tsuyu in tow.
Tell me, Himiko... why am I standing here about to give the Student Pledge and enter an obstacle course in this? Is the official attire for the festival not a gym suit?
W H Y A M I I N A M A I D O U T F I T ?
"I got permission!" she chirped.
Listen here, U.A.! Why did you give her permission?! Did she dig up some blackmail on you lot?!
You should have stopped her! As teachers!! Do you have any idea how much trouble I'm in now?! Me!!
