Living as a Mineta is hard Chapter 173 What is beautiful? (Patreon)

If someone asked, who was the most famous villain at this moment, without a doubt, everyone would say it was Hokusai.

Every media outlet talked about him, and many magazines used his appearance as a cover.

Why?

Even Stain, All-For-One, or any others didn't have this treatment.

The answer was simple.

It was because Hokusai was handsome.

His appearance was comparable to Mineta Minoru, who was also known as the most handsome hero (aspiring hero).

If Mineta was about his eyes, Hokusai was all about his lips.

The world was crazy about him.

There were even many rich people, who wanted to kidnap them, but it was impossible to do it on Mineta since he was famous and also had a lot of connections, especially to Nezu, All-Might, and also Yaorozu family. Even if they wanted to move, they couldn't.

Meanwhile, Hokusai was different since he was a villain, and he didn't have protection, which made him a target of several people because of how handsome he was. Even the underworld had also put a bounty on him, and many were interested.

Unfortunately, Hokusai was too strong, and all of them who tried to catch him were turned disabled by him in a bizarre way, depending on his mood, yet unexpectedly, he had many fans, especially a woman.

Still, because he was famous, many wanted to know about him, and many even thought that he was a lunatic-obsessed artist that would do anything for his art, so no one would expect Hokusai would ask this question Shigaraki.

"I can kill you right now!"

Shigaraki charged toward Hokusai once again, but Hokusai only drew something in his sketchbook before several chains appeared out of nowhere, chaining Shigaraki down in a place.

The sound of metal was heard, and Shigaraki was trapped in place by the chains.

"Ugh!"

His neck was choked by the chain as if he wanted to strangle him to death.

Shigaraki's eyes bulged out, and he knew that he was about to be killed!

"Hokusai!"

Kurogiri panicked again and begged Hokusai not to kill Shigaraki. As for why he was begging, it was because he didn't want to anger Hokusai, especially when he heard Hokusai's words.

"Those chains can also let out sharp thorns. If I see you make a suspicious move, this hand fetish will turn into a cactus."

"I know." Kurogiri followed Hokusai's words obediently, but he was still worried, thinking to escape with Shigaraki, when he saw an opening.

As for Dabi and Toga, they didn't do anything since this had nothing to do with him.

Hokusai snapped his fingers, and the chain around Shigaraki's neck was loosened, but Shigaraki was still chained by several chains.

"Cough! Cough!"

Shigaraki coughed heavily as he stared at Hokusai with killing intent.

"To be honest, I am disappointed. Giran said that you were going to destroy everything, but you had a doubt in your heart."

"?!"

Shigaraki's face was distorted.

"Did that failed Stain affect you so much? Or are you just trying to release your anger on us? If so, then it is better for me to go back since I don't want to follow someone who is indecisive."

Still, when Hokusai mocked Stain, he looked at the expression of Dabi and Toga, but neither seemed angry by his words. He snapped his fingers again and let go of Shigaraki before he looked at Toga and asked, "By the way, Toga-chan, are you free after this?"

"Eh?" Toga was surprised, but she nodded. "I am free." She was a run-away, so besides killing people that annoyed her, she didn't have anything to do.

"Then, do you want to go on a date?"

"Eh?!" Toga was surprised and blushed. "Are you inviting me on a date?"

"You don't want to?"

"I do! I do!" Toga smiled happily.

"Then, let's go out together. Do you have a place that you want to visit? I can take you anywhere."

"Really? Then, I want to go to Destiny Land!"

"Hey!"

Shigaraki didn't attack Hokusai again, but he still stared at him angrily. "Just what do you want to do?! Why are you here?! You ask me to kill you, and then I kill you! Isn't that what you asked me?!" He knew that he wasn't Hokusai's opponent at that moment, but it didn't mean he couldn't get angry.

However, all of Hokusai's words hit a sore spot in his heart since what Hokusai said was right.

He had been annoyed and angry since everything that he had done failed. Even with his plan, Stain was the one who got famous instead of the League of Villains, his organization, which made him even more furious.

This was why he couldn't bear to let Hokusai go, especially when this guy came to pick up such a crazy chick for a date, which made him unable to understand him even more. However, he didn't want to fail any longer, and he tried to understand Hokusai even if he didn't want to. After all, even if he didn't want to, he knew how powerful Hokusai was.

Meanwhile, the man on the screen had never shown up and only stared at the screen while using one of his "Quirk" to see whether Hokusai was lying or not.

Hokusai stopped and looked at Shigaraki, then asked, "Do you still want to destroy the world?"

'Destroy...'

This had always been Shigaraki's goal and something that he sought after. He wanted to destroy everything in this world, especially everything that annoyed and angered him. Yet he might have forgotten it, especially with what had happened to him lately.

Stain's words, which told him that he was someone that didn't have a goal, had always made him furious and frustrated.

However, Hokusai's words made him clear.

That's right!

He only wanted to destroy.

He only wanted to destroy everything that made him angry and annoyed.

"Ah, that's right." Shigaraki's eyes were looking at Hokusai with bloodlust as if he was ready to kill him anytime. "I will destroy everything that annoys me from this society, All-Might, and including you. I will destroy all of them!" He didn't hide his intention to kill him, yet Hokusai's reaction made him feel strange.

"Alright, I will join you," Hokusai said with a bright smile.

'This smile...'

When everyone saw this smile, they felt like they saw an unsettling smile, which was similar to Toga, but it was even more dangerous.

Yet he had to say his answer dumbfounded them.

Was he going to join someone who was going to kill him?

What was wrong with this person's head?

They felt confused, including Shigaraki.

"...what do you want to do?"

Even Shigaraki became suspicious, wondering what was on the mind of Hokusai.

Was Hokusai aiming for something else?

Was it just his guise?

What was his real goal?

Also, how could he show such a bright smile?

Yet even if they didn't want to admit it, while this smile was unsettling, he was as handsome as ever.

"As I have said before, my goal has never changed, and I just want to die," Hokusai said calmly.

"......." Everyone.

"Why do you want to die?" Kurogiri couldn't help but ask.

Why?

What was this guy saying?

Everyone was confused.

Giran also realized that this guy wasn't normal. Instead, similar to everyone else, he was also strange.

"Hmm..." Hokusai looked at his smartphone and said, "There should be a time, so let me ask you a question first, what is beautiful?"
