I need advice. I have been given the most terrible secret in the world, and the person I confide in most, whose opinion I would normally seek in this circumstance, is the one who I must keep the secret from.

I am very good at keeping secrets, but I am not nearly as good at bearing things alone as I used to be. Without knowing who I can trust not to tell this person, it's left me in a predicament.

Which means, I suppose, I am asking for help.

Oh! Yes. I hope you were kind to her. I hope she was kind to you. She really is a wonderful person.

[fullcowl]

I'm Izuku Midoriya, or Deku. I'm the reincarnation of Aidos, according to the heavens.

If you need any help with anything, please feel free to ask me.

She seemed like it! I was helping her move a bunch of boxes.

[iyashinokaze]

Thank you for your kindness, Midoriya-san. I am Fuu Hououji, or as the Heavens believe, Bona Dea.

If I can help you in any way or thank you for helping Umi-san, please let me know.

[fullcowl]

It's not a problem. After all, public service is one of the pillars of being a hero.

I don't need anything in return.

[iyashinokaze]

You're a hero as well as a god, Midoriya-san?

[fullcowl]

I'm a hero in training.

[iyashinokaze]

Then please make sure to be careful.

[That's ominous.]

[fullcowl]

[Um...]

Do you know something I don't?

[iyashinokaze]

No, it isn't that. It's only that my friends and I were heroes, once, ourselves. Or a kind of hero.

And things did not go according to plan.

So it is always best to be careful.

[fullcowl]

Nothing ever seems to go as planned for us, but we manage anyway.

Nobody's been injured enough to be incapacitated at least.

[Aizawa-sensei had his orbital floor crushed, but he can still use his quirk and move, so there is that.]

[iyashinokaze]

[That. That's STILL BAD.]

Well, it isn't that any of us were injured. We all survived with limited injury and when we were hurt along the way, I was able to heal it.

It isn't that I am necessarily suspicious, either. But for now, because of the circumstances, it might be wisest to not necessarily believe and trust everything the Heavens say.

[fullcowl]

[He's recovered! Recovery Girl's great at her job!]

Did you have a bad run in with heavens where you're from?

This experience has been my first time interacting with them. I didn't think they were real before I got there.

[iyashinokaze]

Not in such a way as this. I have dealt with deities before, though.

We had thought our mission was clear, then. We did as we were told because it was the legend. It's taught me to ask questions.

I'm sounding very cynical though. I apologize, Midoriya-san. I don't mean to conspire. I am sure the Heavens have the best of intentions. I just do not want to regret my actions ever again, and I do not want anyone else to ever feel as we did then.

[fullcowl]

Legend?

[They're probably talking about vastly different kinds of heroes, aren't they?]

I'm pretty sure we weren't really given any real missions when we got here. Just to help people and fulfill their prayers.

I can understand that, especially if you've had to deal with that before.

[iyashinokaze]

I think the mission we might have is much simpler.

We are to fill the roles of these gods.

[fullcowl]

I'm not sure how much I fill the role of a morality goddess.

[iyashinokaze]

To be fair, I don't think the title of the Good Goddess is necessarily accurate for me, either. But that is why they brought us here, isn't it?

[fullcowl]

To take over for the gods that aren't here?

[iyashinokaze]

Yes. At least that was my understanding.

[fullcowl]

It's a really vague request, but I'll try to fulfill it.

[iyashinokaze]

But it does make sense that that is our mission, doesn't it?

[fullcowl]

Usually a mission has an end. This seems indefinite.

[iyashinokaze]

Which might only mean that there is something waiting to be done that we haven't been told.

[fullcowl]

Wouldn't it be more effective to tell us what they wanted us to do to begin with?

[iyashinokaze]

Not necessarily, if it is something we'd be reluctant to do.
