“Don’t you think you hired too many people?”
“Hmm?” Seraph continued to place plates on the long, rectangular buffet table, laden with food. The table stretched from one end of the room to the other. There were various dishes from Mediterranean grilled meat to fried rice to lobster to the boxes of pizza piled at the end. Colorful pastries and tarts made up the desert section. Fruits as well, finely sliced and plated. There were even vegetarian options for those who lived a more vegan lifestyle. She didn’t think any of the heroes that applied for the agency listed they were vegan, but it was better to be safe than sorry when preparing food for a party.
Naturally, Seraph herself cooked none of it.
“When you said we needed more help to run this agency, I figured a couple more heroes and maybe some sidekicks. You hired 12 heroes.”
“One of them isn’t one,” Seraph replied merrily as she finished with the plates. “Pass me the crate of wine bottles please, Rei-kun~The one beside your foot.”
“We’re at work, so try to stick to my hero name.” Nonetheless, the young man decked in sleek red and black armor did as told, one hand lifting the crate while the other held onto the stack of papers he’d been browsing through. Removing himself from the couch, he made his way to where a white-winged girl waited expectantly. Even when she used the word ‘please’ it was with full expectation that she would be listened to. Yanagi hadn’t changed much since they graduated UA. Then again, it hadn’t been too long since they graduated either. “If you’re talking about the secretary, don’t you think his background is a little…shady?” ( GasMaskie )
“O~hohoho! That’s exactly why I hired him.” Eyes gleaming with pleasure, the redhead took the crate and opened it. “Don’t you think it’s interesting? If I’m going to hire anyone to handle our office work, I want them to be interesting.”
“It has nothing to do with his looks?”
“...a little.”
At least she was honest. Rei-kun, hero name Infinite Zero, sighed. “In any case, you can hire anyone you want so long as you’ve got the money to pay them. I assume Yusuke Yanagi is the one sponsoring us?”
“Yes. But only as long as we produce results. Grandfather’s not that much of a doting grandpa.” Seraph replied as she lined the bottles on the table. “He’s just given us an initial capital to get started. Everything else is in our hands.”
The new office building. The new furniture. The modern equipment Infinite Zero wore. Everything was paid for by the spending money Seraph’s parents had given her. It was nothing she’d earned herself. Seraph was glad to be born a Yanagi. Proud of her family’s wealth. However, she also wanted to prove herself. To step out of her grandfather’s shadow and into the real world. The opening of the Heavenly Hero Agency would be her debut as a hero. Hers, and Infinite Zero’s.
Infinite Zero nodded, causing his hair to rise slightly as his eyes once more scanned the applications. These were the people that would be helping them.
“Anyone stand out to you?”
“Superbman.I can’t imagine why a hero with a history like his would apply to a small agency like ours and not Endeavor’s.” ( Zamasu )
Seraph giggled. “Just ask him when he arrives. That’s why I invited them all here, after all. It’s good for everyone to meet each other before the official opening.”
Infinite Zero inclined his head in agreement, static crackling. “I look forward to seeing Kyuu-san again as well.” ( Lucem )
“Oh~? Mr. Oblivious-to-everything-but-heroism actually remembers someone from school?”
Zero frowned. “He was a participant in the School Festival our first two years. Given his quirk, I was fortunate that we never ended up facing each other in battle. His showings in combat were quite impressive.”
“Hehe, yeah, that sounds like something you’d remember. Both Shu-sempai and Melia-sempai ( ClownPope ) were part of the same graduating class. There’s a picture of them in the yearbook—there!” Seraph clapped her hands. “Food is all set. Now we just wait for the other Heavenly Hero Agents to arrive and the party can begin~ ”
Infinite Zero glanced at the long table of food incredulously before returning to one of the couches near the entrance of the the lobby. Parties and such weren’t his specialty so he was inclined to leave it all to Seraph.
