MHA: Living as Mineta is hard

Chapter 36: Life in Musutafu



Mineta cleaned up the front area of his house carefully, hoping good luck would come.

After his graduation from middle school, he moved to Musutafu. His parents also helped him to move up to his new house.

Even though he said it was his new house, he didn't buy it. Instead, he rented it for a year and might sign another leasing contract, depending on how comfortable his stay was.

He might be quite rich now, but he wasn't rich enough to use his money unbridledly.

If he decided to buy a house, Musutafu definitely wasn't the town where he would buy a house.

After all, he would only live in this town for three years, and when he graduated, he planned to work in either Tokyo or Yokohama.

Buying a house to live in this city was too luxurious for him, considering his net worth and all.

It might be possible for him to buy it, but it would be a waste of money. There were many things that his money should have been used for, but buying a house in this area definitely wasn't one of them.

The house he rented was located in the seaside area, near the harbor where he placed his ship.

Frankly, his body was still cold when he thought about how he sailed from Kamakura to Musutafu alone on the ship.

Fortunately, Musutafu was located near the sea instead of inland, or else he might change the theme of his All-Tuber channel.

'Well, becoming a sculptor is also good.'

Besides fishing, he often made a video about sculptures, whether from stone, metal, glass, wood, or even pottery. He often made videos of them from time to time besides fishing, turning his subscribers into seven million.

The only thing that he was helpless about was Nezu was his fans.

He didn't have a hobby of communicating with his fans, but Nezu was the principal of his school, so he couldn't ignore him when that bear-like mouse gave a comment on his video or social media.

Frankly, by talking to each other, he also started to understand many things about Nezu, which made him know who this bear-like mouse was.

Similar to his speculation before, it seemed Nezu was a rare animal that was able to manifest a "Quirk."

The ability given by his "Quirk" was "High-Spec," which was an ability to make him smart.

How did he know all of that?

When he asked, Nezu told him everything.

When he asked Nezu, he only realized that not everyone would keep the ability of their "Quirk" a secret. Instead, many even boasted and told everyone its effect without worry.

It was also why Nezu asked him about the effect of his ability.

He also told Nezu about his ability. Naturally, it was only within the "Pop Off" Quirk. As for the rest of his abilities, he didn't tell Nezu.

It was better to keep more cards on his sleeves.

He knew he was strong, but it was better to be careful, considering he was only invincible at night.

During the day, there were many ways to defeat him.

Leaving the fact that Nezu should have investigated all of his information, Mineta felt he should befriend this bear-like mouse instead of becoming enemies. After all, when he did a live-streaming video, this bear-like mouse gave him a lot of tips.

He knew that to live in this world, money wasn't the most important thing, but the power of money was definitely awesome.

However, he must admit Nezu was amazing since this bear-like mouse was smart enough to build the best hero school and the richest animal in the world because of his ability.

However, this fact made him let out a helpless sigh.

The country often says that one shouldn't use a "Quirk," but what about Nezu, who used his "Quirk" to make a lot of money on the stock market?

Why was such a "Quirk" allowed to be used, but the others couldn't?

Still, he also knew that Nezu was also troubled by society, so it might also be why Nezu made Yuuei become a place with the highest security in this country.

Nezu made this place into his fortress, his small country, and everything to protect himself from harm.

This was also why Nezu rejected him to go out to fish in the sea and told him that it was better to fish on Yuuei since he had made an artificial sea inside the Yuuei, so they could fish together.

"..."

Knowing all of that, he must admit the power of money was amazing, and it made him realize that he might as well buy an ability that was capable of enhancing his IQ.

His lips twitched, and he thought that the price of this ability was outrageous, but he also understood how amazing this ability was.

His girlfriend was only Ibara, so if he wanted this ability, he could only wait for three years or so before he could buy this ability.

'If I have more girlfriends...'

He shook his head, thinking the system was pickier than he had thought.

Besides only a few girls who were capable of triggering his system, he also couldn't use force or his ability to manipulate the girls to fall for him. If he wanted rewards from the system, he needed to use his eloquence and charm.

Fortunately, his charm is at nine points now.

He had to thank Kendo for this since the "Ultimate Eye" enhanced his charm by +1. Because of this, many girls or women who passed in front of his house would glance at him from time to time. Some even accidentally hit the electric pole before they blushed and ran away.

While he must admit that they were all cute, he could only smile wrily, thinking about when Ibara was going to come since he was afraid that something might happen.

However, could he blame them?

Partly, it was also his fault since he only wore a tank top, showing his muscles. If he was a woman, it was like he showed his breasts somehow.

"Should I make a video?"

He felt he was too free and didn't have anything to do, considering Ibara would only come to Musutafu at noon. By then, he would come to her apartment, which was located quite far from his house, to help her to move her things.

However, before that, he was free.

Still, before that, he suddenly thought of Nezu's question that asked him whether he would announce his identity as a famous All-Tuber. After all, if he announced his identity, everything would be so smooth. Even if he announced his identity, they also wouldn't know his real identity unless they were a hacker or had a connection with the government.

"Should I?"

"What do you mean by should I?"

Mineta thought someone had approached him to pick him up since this wasn't his first time meeting a bold girl, but when he turned, he was dumbfounded since he didn't expect to see this girl.

"Huh? Itsuka? Why are you here?"

"Haha..."

However, Kendo only laughed since she felt his reaction was fun.

"....."

Yet Mineta couldn't laugh since he wondered how this girl could appear here. Still, he looked at the broom in his hand, wondering whether her appearance was part of his good luck.

If so, this luck was too bizarre for him.
