Tohka Yatogami's: Marvel Journey

In the end, the two of them made a shady PY deal in a dark room, without any third party present, and as for what consequences it might bring, no one knew.

Meanwhile, while Spider-Man and the others were watching the black substance in front of them,

Under a large rock, a tiny blob of black ooze bounced away unnoticed.

Unfortunately, it was so small and harmless-looking that no one present noticed it.

"How did the concert go? Seriously, who could've expected something like that to happen?"

After leaving the coastline, Tohka brought Miku Izayoi back to her house. At this point, Tohka began asking about what happened earlier.

She was genuinely worried the concert they had arranged had flopped. It wouldn't bother her, but Miku Izayoi would be heartbroken.

"Don't worry, the concert was a huge success—beyond expectations even."

Miku, who had just been making a pervy face, suddenly got excited and energetically replied to Tohka, "You have no idea."

"After you left, I quickly stabilized the atmosphere at the venue. I even streamed our battle with those guys live. You should've seen how hyped the audience got at the end—it blew my mind. And someone even gave me a nickname, calling me 'The Diva'."

"Uh… alright then."

Hearing that, Tohka was a little speechless.

Apparently, this world had its own kind of mysterious force.

Wasn't that the codename used for spirits?

First her, then Miku Izayoi…

Tohka decided not to overthink it anymore.

"Yawn…" Tohka let out a big yawn—clearly sleepy.

Then she stood up on her own and said to Miku Izayoi, "Alright, let's get to bed. After all that fighting, I'm exhausted."

"Hmph. This girl really doesn't understand romance."

Watching Tohka walk away, Miku Izayoi huffed in frustration.

Then a sly grin crept onto her face—clearly, she was plotting something.

She didn't even realize her own image had completely fallen apart.

Meanwhile, at the top of the Oscorp tower—

Norman Osborn was also sitting down.

Today's events hadn't been authorized by him.

His target had been Spider-Man's blood serum.

But before he could act, that foolish kid had gone and donated blood.

To his delight, he immediately dispatched Doctor Octopus to retrieve it, and sure enough, the doc delivered the finished serum in no time.

With that, their cooperation came to an end. The experimental materials he gave Octavius had led to today's events.

Of course, some things did go beyond his expectations.

That guy acted way too rashly—sending out all of the newly obtained Venom at once.

As for whether he might be exposed—Norman wasn't worried.

He had already made preparations.

Doctor Octopus had no evidence, and who would believe a criminal?

Right now, he was silently observing the green liquid in front of him.

He didn't dare use it yet—it needed further testing.

But in his eyes, a strange light glowed.

"Harry, watch carefully. Our family's genetic disease will end with me. Then I'll finally be at peace."

This night could be said to bring joy to some and sorrow to others.

After all, regardless of what happened, New York's government was in for a headache.

Though the destruction wasn't too extreme, because Tohka had carried something resembling a "Spirit Bomb,"

There was now a crater several dozen meters wide and deep on a major avenue.

They had a real mess on their hands—especially since below the crater lay NYC's pipe infrastructure.

And because of the unknown energy involved, they couldn't even collect usable samples.

So, they were now urgently transporting materials overnight from outside the city.

The next morning, when Tohka woke up, she found herself once again grabbing something soft, springy, and squishy.

"Ugh—aaah! Why are you in my bed again?!"

She jumped up in shock—only to see a familiar face beside her.

"Good morning, Tohka-chan. You're quite bold, aren't you?"

The other person smiled slyly while glancing at Tohka's hand.

"Hey hey! It's not like that—I didn't do anything!"

"..."

At breakfast, Tohka desperately tried to remember what had happened last night.

But she couldn't recall a thing.

Still, facing Miku Izayoi's half-smiling, half-teasing gaze…

She couldn't shake the feeling that she had somehow been taken advantage of, even though she technically hadn't lost anything.

"Right… I've got something to do. I'll head out first."

Unable to bear the weird atmosphere, Tohka quickly searched for an excuse—and remembered Tony's words from last night.

Using that as her pretext, she flew off.

Miku Izayoi, meanwhile, gave a smug, satisfied grin.

She thought Tohka was just so cute.

But seriously, why was she so shy and passive?

Didn't she realize how ridiculously adorable her "push and pull" act was?

That kind of charm was totally cheating!

Elsewhere, Tohka flew straight toward Tony's villa. She had contacted him already, and he was currently at home.

Originally, Tohka thought he might be doing something "naughty," but after seeing his eyes, she realized she was mistaken. He hadn't slept all night, but definitely not for the reasons she'd imagined.

"You? What are you doing here?"

Thanks to her high speed, Tohka quickly arrived at Tony's villa. But what surprised her was seeing someone unexpected: Doctor Octopus, who she had met yesterday. That's when she remembered—when she left the site last night, this guy had still been there.

"Good morning, Miss Tohka."

Upon seeing her, Doc Ock greeted her kindly.

Although they had fought the night before, there was no deep hatred between them.

"What are you doing here? Where's Tony?"

Tohka looked suspiciously at him and quickly noticed that this world's Otto wasn't truly evil. After she damaged his arms, his personality returned to normal. She also noticed that his mechanical arms had been removed, and now he was a bit unsteady as he walked on his own legs.
