Ah...? What do you mean "style themselves as"? Are they not actually heroes?

[ He doesn't know you're an idol still, Tori. ]

[he's missed a very important part of his introduction.]

As far as we're concerned, definitely not. Heroes are just things you see on TV and in manga and stuff, you know? Ryuseitai helps people in need, and they have their own code against "injustice" or something like that, but it's not like they're anything but normal people playing pretend. An idol group that uses a beloved idea for their performances and stuff.

[despite that, he doesn't seem like he's trying to badmouth them. it's just the facts.]

[ YEAH, Izuku is sort of ":)????} in confusion right now. ]

A-an idol group??? [ Honestly, though...

HE'D BE A RYUSEITAI FAN...I can't lie. ] At a school?

[fool..... stan fine like the friend you're supposed to be now!!!!]

It's a school for the performing arts, so we have different courses for stuff like that. Idols are the hottest topic though, we're the who~le reason that thing's still open.

[they're not. idols were a big part of it, and then they had a fall, and they're getting back to a good place again now, but yumenosaki academy has produced plenty of standouts in the other sectors.]

Ryuseitai's one of the older units though, the kind that's been there since the idol course started I guess. But that doesn't mean it's the best. ♪

[ Tori, have mercy on this hero-otaku he can't help himself...! ]

O-oh? Wait, does that mean you're part of an idol unit, too??

[ He did say "we", and he seems to be implying there's a better unit... ]

[all his future housemates are gonna be swine that can't appreciate the elegant appeal of tori's unit, smh]

Ehehe~. Only the best, most powerful unit in the whole school..♪ Fine, [and he pronounces it as in "fee-nay", fin, etc,] is a cut above the rest! Even that weirdo that's tagged along is worth his salt, Izuku, though I don't really like admitting it. And the one who leads us is the most amazing person of all..!

[tori sinks into the bath, pressing his hands to his cheeks happily.]

I'm so~o lucky to be part of them! No, I deserve to be! Fine isn't fine without me!

[ IZUKU WILL TRY TO APPRECIATE IT but he has a hero boner let him live...he might be more into heroes than Chiaki?? ]

Fine...? Ah, but! I'd kind of like to hear you sing sometime, Tori-kun. I'm not really musically inclined myself.

[ The kid can barely dance after intensive training. ]

[THAT... WOULD BE A FEAT, BUT HONESTLY WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED.]

Fufun. Fine sounds best as a unit, of course, but even on our own we're a cut above the rest. I'll think about gracing you with my angelic voice since I'm not really sure if we're allowed to sing outside of performances like that.

I'd love that! You know, Kacchan actually plays the drums? He had to take lessons as a kid, but his playing is still perfect...

[ Clearly, this will help Katsuki and Tori to bond (probably not). ]

The drums? That's more of that shady Undead's style, but I guess any musical talent'll do.

[he's curious, anyway... a good starting point.]

Is Kacchan a friend of yours?

Yeah! We're childhood friends.

[ Don't...

don't ask kacchan to confirm that though... ]

[already ahead of you izuku, he denied it bluntly.]

Like Saru and Ritsu-senpai. Ehehe, that sounds nice~. The only people that I've known since I was a child are my butler, Yuzuru, and that stupid Tsukasa, and I wouldn't call the latter a friend even if it was a life or death situation.

[hmph!!]

[ OH NO...now I want to read this but also: it figures!! ]

I-is that so... [ Sounds like how Kacchan feels about him... ] How would you call him, then?

Hm~... Annoying. He's nothing but a pest. Su~per mean, a total bully, uncultured swine, the son of a long-forgotten and disgraced family, a serious nobody in the world of nobles. ♪

[he's, so happy to diss tsukasa.]

He acts like he's so~o important, but in reality, families like his are nothing but history.

O-oh...

[ THAT'S...SOME HATE YOU HAVE THERE, TORI... ]

I can't say I know much about the world of nobles, really...

[it's just.... to hide the fact that he's kinda lonely..... they have a History and they really just, need to be friends or recognize each other as rivals.....]

Most lowborn don't. It's a stage beyond the one that you can see, so don't even worry about it and just take my word about that guy. You definitely don't want to be friendly with him if he ever steps through the mirror.

[ HE WOULD TRY TO BE FRIENDS...ANYWAY... ]

Well...at the very least I promise to not invite such a person to live with us...? I mean, not that I would without all of you okaying anything.

The moment he heard I lived anywhere he'd avoid it, I'm sure. He hates me as much as I hate him.

[hmph.]

A-ah...but you've known one another since childhood, huh...

[ CHILDHOOD FRIENDS...SHOULD BE PRECIOUS... ]

It's unfortunate, but yes. I would've rather known someone like Hajime, but our worlds were too far apart... He's someone I could've been friends with.

[is now, notably from his warmer tone when talking about the boy.]

Just because you know someone for a while doesn't mean you have to be friends with them, you know?

Well...no. I knew a lot of people when I was young, but...Kacchan's the only one I still want to be friends with from back then.

[ To Katsuki's eternal irritation, probably. ]

[this kacchan guy must be swell. there were a lot of people that tori knew, especially once he truly stepped into the world of nobility, but the view they had on his family

didn't exactly earn him favors, nor did the esteem of which he carried himself. it's nice that this guy had someone he'd wanted to stay friends with all this time, that's what tori tries to think. it's definitely nice and he's definitely not... jealous or anything, just because he didn't have that.]

You're really making me want to meet him, so introduce us sometime. Any friend of yours can't be too hard to get along with.

[ FAMOUS LAST WORDS! ]

I'd love to! Um, he's a little - well, Kacchan - but I think he could really use some more friends here!

[ Alternately: any friends at all. ]

[FAMOUS LAST WORDS.......]

Then he'll have one of the best. ♪ That is, me! Don't you worry about a thing, Izuku, I'll be sure to make nice with this Kacchan of yours and expand his social circle a little more.

[he's TRAINED to do that...... even if he is bad at it himself, really. he Chooses his friends. or so he says. he's just bad at making them.]

...I completely agree! Um, if you need any help, just let me know.

[ Although he just excels at ticking Kacchan off... ]
