"A-apologise?" asked Izuku.
Tsuyu nodded and explained, "I always say what's on my mind but there are also times when I have no idea what I should say. Do you remember what I said back at the hospital?"
Recalling how Tsuyu said that he and four of their fellow classmates would be no different from villains if they violate to rules to rescue Katsuki from the League of Villains, Izuku hesitantly replied, "Y-yeah, I do."
"Even though I sympathised with you and the others, my choice of words were severe. I was shocked beyond belief when I heard this morning that the five of you actually through with it. I was… so frustrated by my own cowardice and I had no idea what I could even say to any of you," explained Tsuyu. Izuku could feel her body tremble with barely repressed tears as she added, "I couldn't bring myself to have fun and chat with any of you as though nothing had happened between us. Just thinking about it about it made me feel so sad and lonely. That's why I have to apologise to all of you."
"N-not that I don't appreciate the thought but couldn't you have just spoken to all of us at the same time instead of doing… well… this?" asked Izuku.
"I wanted to apologise to you first, Midoriya-chan. I… like you the same way Ochako-chan does."
"R-really?"asked Izuku. Although Izuku was undoubtedly on friendly terms with Tsuyu, he did not expect her to have any special feelings for him. Considering that he was essentially a "quirkless loser" prior to being accepted as a student of U.A. High School, it was tragically understandable for him to not consider the possibility of being romantically liked by more than one girl.
Tsuyu nodded and said, "Why else would I keep reminding you to call me Tsuyu-chan instead of letting you call me Asui-san?"
Izuku was at a loss for words when Ochako spoke to him, "Deku, do you accept us?"
Izuku turned around and looked into Ochako's eyes which were brimming with tears. His heart clenched at seeing her longing expression while Tsuyu nuzzled into his chest. Tears welled up in Izuku's eyes as he made his decision and said with a nod, "I…do, Ochako-chan, Tsuyu-chan. I honestly don't know where to even start with this relationship, but I'll do my best to make the both of you happy somehow."
"Thank you, Deku," said Ochako.
Suddenly, Izuku felt something slimy enter his ear and blacked out…
-Immediately after Izuku's blackout…-
"W-where am I?" asked Izuku. Just a moment ago, he was in Tsuyu's room and was being embraced by both Ochako and Tsuyu. As for the current situation, he was in some sort of black void.
"You're in, for the lack of a better term, a mind-scape."
Surprised, Izuku turned to see a beautiful woman who was well-built, had sharp intelligent eyes and had dark straight hair. As he had never met the woman before, Izuku hesitantly asked, "Who are you and what do you mean by mind-scape?"
Instead of answering his question, the woman asked, "What is the last thing you remembered before coming here?"
"Well, I was in a room with two of my… friends and I suddenly felt…" Izuku's face paled as he then asked, "Are you telling me that a villain with some sort of brainwashing quirk managed to take over all of our bodies?" His expression fell into despair as he asked, "And that all those things that they said just now were just… lies…?"
"Not quite. For one thing, that villainess did manage to take over your two girlfriends but she has not taken over your body yet. In fact, my friends are keeping that villainess at bay just like how we helped you break free from that brainwashing quirk back at the sports festival."
Confused, Izuku asked, "What do you mean by helping me with that brainwashing quirk back at the…" He then remembered his fight with Shinsou Hitoshi, a boy with indigo hair, very dark rings under his eyes and a brainwashing quirk which could only be activated by verbally responding to him. Upon realising whom the woman was talking about, he pointed at her and exclaimed, "You're… one of the former wielders of One For All!"
The woman nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, Midoriya Izuku. My name is Shimura Nana, Toshinori's predecessor and teacher."
Bowing to the former wielder of One For All, a powerful quirk which had the ability to stockpile power and be passed down to a chosen successor, Izuku said, "I-it's an honour to finally meet you in person, Shimura-san!"
Chuckling at Izuku's earnest attitude, Nana smiled in a motherly way towards him and said, "I'm not all that great, Midoriya. If I was, I would have been able to defeat All For One and not leave that burden to Toshinori." Her expression became sad as she added, "Not to mention that I would have been able to protect my husband and not need to leave my own son to foster care for his own safety."
"I'm… sorry to hear that, Shimura-san," said Izuku who thought about how his mother felt about his near-death at the hands of that murderous villain, Muscular.
Nana shook her head and said, "It's all in the past. As I am now, I'm little more than a memory of the person I once was before I gave my power to Toshinori. Also…" her eyes hardened as she added, "-we still have a pinch to get you out of. That villainess is trying to take over your body and while my friends can keep her at bay, we can't keep doing it forever. Sooner or later, one side will have to give in."
Izuku wore a determined expression as he asked, "What can I do to to break free of that villainess' control and save my friends?"
Nana smiled in approval as she replied, "The good news is, you are essentially linked to not only the villainess but also to your two friends. If you can reach out to them and work together, you might be able to break free of her control."
"Then that's exactly what I'll do!" said Izuku who then sheepishly added, "So how do I get to them?"
"Just think about them and call out to them with all your heart. Which reminds me, that villainess may have taken over their bodies but my intuition tells me that their feelings of love towards you are very much real," replied Nana.
Armed with Nana's guidance and reassurance, Izuku smiled at her and said, "Thank you, Shimura-san." He then took a deep breath before he called out to Ochako and Tsuyu the same way he used his quirk, One For All, "Clench my butt-hole super-tight and scream from the bottom of my heart!"
"Ochako-chan! Tsuyu-Chan!"
