Nighteye: "It looks like we've been used. But that puts an end to the maze."

Izuku: "Eri… Togata… Kiriu…"

-----

Mirio and Kuuga are seen panting as they stand in front of Overhaul and Chronostasis, who have Eri in their possession.

Kuuga: "Hey…"

Mirio: (panting) "Excuse me… But can we ask you some questions…?"

Overhaul: "You two shouldn't have been able to get here so fast."

Kuuga: "We took a faster route."

Mirio: "We're here to rescue that girl."

Overhaul closes his eyes.

Overhaul: "Now that you know the situation, you're putting on your hero mask, huh? Mr. Student."

Kuuga: "Hey, what is he talking about?"

Mirio ignores him as Overhaul continues to talk.

Overhaul: "Back then, you were pretending not to see, weren't you? The girl doesn't want you to rescue her. To her, you're not a hero."

Mirio: "That's why I'm here with someone."

Overhaul: (sighs) "I'm not getting through to you. Let me make this simpler."

Overhaul and Chronostasis turn around and continue on their way.

Kuuga: "Hey!"

Kuuga and Mirio run after them.

Overhaul: "I'm telling you to die."

The two heroes suddenly felt dizzy and were losing control of their footing before being forced to kneel.

Mirio: "Wh-What?!"

Kuuga: "The sense of equilibrium… It's like I'm drunk…"

Sakai: (Laughing) "Are you shloshed?"

They look up to see a Hassaikai member, Sakaki hanging upside down on one of the ceiling pipes, drinking a bottle of soju.

Sakaki: (drunk) "Your legs look s-shaky… Mine're too… Thash why I'm walkin' up 'ere… Don't get closh t' me.. You'll catch my drunkenesh…"

The soju bottle contents begin flowing to the ground and make contact with their footwear.

Kuuga: (mentally) "Alcohol…"

Mirio: (mentally) "Is it this guy's quirk? Eri's right over there… We can't let a guy like this take us down!"

Kuuga: "Someone's ahead, Lemillion! Watch out!"

They see a gun pointed at them and fire but Kuuga barely makes a mist barrier for himself as Mirio rolls out of the way from the gunshot.

Kuuga: "Lemillion, are you okay-"

The man who fired the gun, activates his quirk on the two and begins asking a question.

Nemoto: "What are your quirks?"

Kuuga: "Mist. I can manipulate and control the water droplets in the air and density to my liking and make something that can help me in combat. (Mentally) Why did I answer?!"

Mirio: "Permeation. When activated, I can slip through anything!"

Mirio quickly covers his mouth.

Mirio: (mentally) "I didn't mean to say that!"

Sakaki crawls back and is now beside Nemoto.

Nemoto: "I was wondering where you sprung up and burst through from. I see. That's why you two could get through Mimic and the others."
