     "I wonder if Aizawa-sensei is in the faculty room?"

After Ako ran away from the classroom, she immediately proceeded to her said task. Let Aizawa know of their identity, so it could help them even just for a little bit - and to let Yurika enter UA High. That's pretty much the sole reason why they decided to reveal their secret.

  Arriving on the faculty room, she knocked softly three times. "Excuse me! Is Aizawa-sensei here, desu no?" She opened the door, and was welcomed by Aizawa's sleeping bag, with him sleeping peacefully inside it.

   'No matter how i look at him, he looks exactly like a worm..' Ako sweatdropped inside her head. But still felt annoyed by how her teacher is sleeping in the faculty room, where he should be sleeping on a bed, not on the floor. Goodness.

"You need something?" Aizawa's groggy and tired voice snapped Ako out of her thoughts.

  "I have something important to discuss to you, Aizawa-sensei."

...

   She crossed her arms and sighed. In the end, she needed to tell the story right infront of the principal. Talk about luck. She didn't know that when she meant 'important' it would be like this.

  "So, you have something to tell us, Saotome-san?" Nezu sipped on his tea, waiting for Ako to start.

"Yes. It's a very important information about me, us - Koharu and I, and another person, that is. I want you to keep this a secret from others, don't let the other teachers know. I could only trust the two of you to keep your mouth shut. And I am not telling you this as a student, but as a princess." Her voice became low but calm, her princess demeanor which is intelligent, cunning, calm and calculating is currently present in the presence of the two.

Her sudden change of attitude made Aizawa froze in his spot. Is this girl the same person at all? Even how she spoke changed, it's like there's another person inside her.

But he knew better. He always knew something is amiss with Ako. It's like she's hiding something from him. And today, he's going to know what it is.

"A princess, you say? Are you a princess from another country?" Nezu asked, still feeling calm about the situation.

"No. I'm the third princess of the Slor Kingdom. Princess Saotome Ako. I'm from another world, as well as Koharu and my precious friend."

Nezu stopped midway and stared ay Ako's eyes, scrutinizing which is the truth and what's not.

"Kid, this is no time to joke—" Aizawa was cut off when Ako suddenly spoke.

"The fact that I am telling you my biggest secret and you waving it off as a joke makes you the worst, you know? In my case, this is already a very dire situation - letting others know of the existence of the other world and my real information. You must've noticed by now, right? That I have no particular documents."

"Yes, you're right Saotome-san. We cannot find any documents of your personal database."

  Aizawa could only stare at Ako, he couldn't even comprehend whether it is real or not.

"That's right. It was because we were never a part of this world to begin with. We came from a world called Eflir - and we, princesses plays a big role on it. Like you, heroes who balance evil and good, we princesses works together to maintain the core from collapsing. The core which maintain the life of our world."

"If you're a princess, then Nanakura-san must be one too?" Nezu asked curiously.

"Yes. Koharu is the fifth princess of Slor, and then there's another one who ended up here. The fourth princess."

"Then, if you three are here, who's maintaining the core?"

"The other remaining princesses, although it would be really hard for them because they are missing three princesses."

"What would happen if the core wasn't protected?"

"I don't even want to imagine. The world would collapse." Ako's expression turned from calm to serious. Aizawa who learned of the fact that she is from another world, couldn't keep his usual tired self - he stared wide eyed at the girl infront of him.

  No wonder he couldn't erase her quirk - or whatever it is -  and the thing that she did on the USJ accident.

  Nezu smiled, "I pressume you are telling this to us, to help you in some way."

Ako solemnly nodded, "It is."

"Would you tell us how come you were transported in here? Is it related to a warp gate quirk?"

  Ako shook her head, "No. It is not related here. It is the work of the demons, the Hetalica Kingdom which we had been in a treaty recently. But now that they chose to attack us, the contact is no longer valid. I was attacked in my palace while i was having a tea party with my friends, and was brought here by a forbidden scroll."

"Hmmm. Understood, we will help you get back to Eflir to our best abilities. However, we also want to form a relationship with your kingdom - is that alright?"

  "It's not a problem, desu wa! In fact, i could also help you gather important informations of villains - since I have the ability to check on their data, both on who they are, where they live, everything about them, desu wa!"

"Ho~. Then we will count on you about that then, Aizawa here can request for your back up when he needs it. Thank you for informing us of your other ability."

"No. Thank you very much for your help and your trust." Ako finally released the tense weight on her shoulder and let out a relaxed smile.

"Where are you staying now, Saotome?" Aizawa said with his usual groggy and dry voice, Ako looked up to see Aizawa still staring at her.

"Well, we were currently staying at Yaoyorozu-san's mansion - her parents also knows of our situation." Ako explained.

  Aizawa sighed. Now that they know of Ako's situation and the truth behind her mystery, it sure is going to be so much trouble for him - since he is the homeroom teacher, he has most of the responsibilities of the class. And now, he had to gather some informations for a transportation device between two different worlds.

  He scratched his head and let out a grunt, slipping back to his yellow sleeping bag. Nevertheless, he still can't believe what he just heard from Ako's mouth. It just feels surreal that there's another world beside them.

....

   The sun was already setting into an orange hues and part of the sky are showing stars already when Ako was getting back home, doing her usual routine of walking while window shopping.

  "This never gets old, desu wa." She grinned, still fascinated by the advanced technologies of this world. She's currently saving the datas of the devices so that she can create them at her world - and maybe start some business. Fufufu.

  She was about to continue to walk when she bumped into someone. She looked up into a guy wearing a bird-beak mask, it was so long and huge it made Ako wonder if those are heavy.

  Realizing she had bumped into him, snapped back from her daze and did a curtsy. "I apologize for bumping into you, desu wa." She softly said, trying to be polite to the stranger - because for some reason, her alarms are blaring that this guy is dangerous.

  "No, it's okay." He said before walking away, Ako's eyes trailing back to him until he faded away from the dark.

Too bad Ako didn't had the chance to do a background check on him while he was still infront of her earlier. She's suddenly got intimidated by him for reason, like he's some sort of a king.

"I wonder who that guy is?" Ako said to herself before she continued walking back home.

....

   To be continued...

Okay, so it was kinda short but i hope ya'll enjoyed! I honestly had no idea how Overhaul behaves and how he acts, so i just decided to keep the conversation at that. XD still needs to read fanfics about him so I could understand his character more. Lols.
