Chapter 32
King, who was mumbling to himself, suddenly discovered that his lost galgame disc was placed safely next to a pool of suspicious minced meat not far away. He immediately couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly ran forward.
"Oh, okay, it's okay, I finally found it, my... Oops!"
His feet slipped, and King, whose legs were weak, accidentally fell directly into the puddle of minced meat, covered in blood.
Ah, so dirty.
He lowered his head and glanced helplessly at his shirt, which had lost its original color. King was too concerned about it, after all, his most important CD had been successfully recovered.
Compared to this, a fall or something is a trivial matter.
So, King calmly took his CD, stood up calmly, and wiped his face with the ferocious claw marks three years ago with the back of his hand.
"Well, let's go back..."
"Oh, king?"
At this time, a slightly surprised female voice suddenly came from above the head. King was so frightened that his heart started to beat very violently, and his face froze and he looked up.
Then he found Tatsumaki, an S-class hero whom he had met several times before, looking at him in surprise.
After driving all the way, Tatsumaki, who finally arrived at the scene, looked down at the moment when he entered a fighting state, with bloodstains left by the weirdo all over his body, and a look of indifference and calmness belonging to a strong man.
"Is it really you?"
The king who didn’t understand said: “?”
What are you talking about?
Tatsumaki, who didn't notice the confusion in the other party's heart, looked down at the surroundings again. The ruins below seemed to have been baked by the sun, with black scorch marks everywhere, and the weird person next to King. Minced meat, and traces of a channel extending straight to the end of the ruins.
And the other party just seemed to be leaving in a low-key manner.
The trembling Tatsumaki couldn't help but show a rare expression of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"You're not so bad."
king: "......???????"
Chapter 40: Let’s set off some fireworks to cheer up before going home.
A new day has begun.
Even though a serious monster disaster just happened yesterday, and the damage rate of the city's construction areas was close to an astonishing ten percent, the people of City Z still did what they were supposed to do today without being affected at all. Continue with your daily life.
Even the number of old men walking their dogs and young couples walking hand in hand in the park has increased.
Why?
This psychological quality is simply incredible. How do you do it?
Gafan, who had just returned from a trip to buy soy milk and meat buns for breakfast, looked out the window with a speechless face and complained in his heart.
But even though it's breakfast, it's actually almost noon now.
After passing out yesterday, my consciousness fell into darkness. When I woke up again, I found myself lying on the floor of a crowded room, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling. I was covered with a thin quilt, and the alarm clock next to me showed ten o'clock in the morning. Zero three points.
Moreover, after Gafan sat up with a headache, he found that the undocumented knight and Kamijou Touma were still lying next to him with bandages all over their bodies. At that time, the complexity of his mood at that moment was simply difficult to describe in words.
How strange.
Gafan, who had never slept with a man in his whole life, stood up from the floor silently and covered them with the thin quilt.
Then he discovered an empty bottle of iodine on the small table nearby and a pile of cotton swabs in the trash can.
This surprised Gafan, who was covering his head. He thought for a moment, and then shifted his gaze to the two people on the floor. A faint breath of iodine reached his nose.
"..."
Gafan understood what was going on in an instant. At that time, everyone was stunned. Emotional Saitama, is this how you rescue the wounded?
What a great experience.
And what silenced him the most was...
Gafan, who was chewing meat buns in his mouth, turned his gaze back from the window, which was nothing to see, and looked at the undocumented knight and Kamijou Touma who had woken up in front of him and were also devouring meat buns with soy milk with a speechless expression.
The most outrageous thing is that this treatment method seems to be effective now?
How did you do it? !
"Gafan, the meat buns you bought are quite filling, as is the soy milk." Saitama, who was also sitting next to him eating breakfast, commented with a dull expression.
"But you didn't buy fried dough sticks, it feels like it's missing a bit of soul."
"It makes sense, Teacher Saitama, you don't even think about what time I went there. The fried dough sticks have long been sold out, so I can just enjoy it if I can buy the soy milk meat buns."
Gafan sighed helplessly. His groggy head was much better now. He picked up another meat bun from the small table. This time he bought breakfast and gave him the money from the metal bat directly. It was a one-time payment. All spent.
After all, I just wanted to ask for fares and meal money... If I had known better, I would have asked for more.
Gafan puffed out his cheeks like a hamster, thinking without any ambition.
"But the boss was also very nice. Since it was about to close, he packed up all the leftover soy milk and meat buns and sold them to me cheaply."
"Hey, why have I never encountered such a good thing?"
Saitama said with a slight complaint. After all, he was so poor that he had to go to the supermarket to grab big discounts every day. For this reason, it was common for him to go all the way to the next city.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
"Ahem, water, ahem!"
At this time, the undocumented knight and Kamijou Touma, who had finished drinking the soy milk and were still devouring it, suddenly choked on the meat buns at the same time, and then beat their chests in synchronicity.
"Eh? You guys should eat slowly."
Saitama, who noticed this scene, also kindly helped hand over two cups of warm water. This was the only thing in his family that he could "spend" at will.
Looking at the undocumented knight and Kamijou Touma who were looking up to drink water, Gafan thought for a while and suddenly asked.
"Teacher Saitama, after you brought us back yesterday, did you really just wipe the wounds of these two people with iodine and put a bandage on them?"
"How can it be."
"Huh, I knew I wouldn't be that far away..."
"I even helped wipe their faces with a towel." Saitama held his hands in his arms and said with a serious expression, "This is the first time I have wiped someone's face. Well, it seems now that I am quite good at taking care of others. ”
Gafan: "..."
I always feel that we have very different views on the word "care".
"Speaking of which, the way these two are gobbling up food now looks a bit like me when I first started exercising three years ago."
Saitama, who also poured himself a glass of water, said with a nonchalant voice: "I had just started to exercise my muscles not long ago, and I would get injured every day when I went home after beating monsters who were stronger than me. It was okay. There are bandages and iodine.”
No, no, no, your bandages and iodine are too versatile. Where did these holy healing medicines come from?
Gafan, who was silently eating his meat buns, said he didn't want to talk.
“I just don’t know why, but it suddenly became very delicious during that period, and it ate up all the little savings I had left.”
When he thought of this, Saitama's face, as smooth as a braised egg, showed a slightly depressed expression.
He obviously gave up looking for a job at that time. He was not a rich guy. He was almost kicked out by his landlord. Fortunately, he caught a bunch of bounty criminals in time...
Wait, it seems that I was kicked out after all.
Hey, that damn old woman who wants money.
Saitama thought as he drank the cold drink unhappily.
"Teacher Saitama, how did you solve the problem of eating after all your savings were spent?" Gafan asked curiously.
"Um, this..." Saitama looked away silently and scratched his cheek, "Every day when I go out, I pick up...free strange ingredients?"
"Okay, I already know what's going on, no need to say anything more." Gafan covered his face and raised his hand to indicate that he should skip this topic.
Are these all human sufferings?
Although he couldn't figure out whether it was Saitama who had no money to eat at that time, or the inhumanoid weirdos who were treated as wild food at that time.
This is too difficult.
At this time, the undocumented knight and Kamijou Touma finally finished drinking water, avoiding the ridiculous fate of choking to death on meat buns, and all the breakfast on the small table was finished.
"I actually ate so much in one sitting?"
The undocumented knight covered his stomach with his hands and felt that the strong hunger had completely disappeared, with a surprised expression on his face.
"Hey, are you full?" Saitama glanced at him and took the initiative to talk to him.
"Well, I'm full. Thank you for the treat." The undocumented knight nodded seriously, "And thank you for your last-minute help yesterday... By the way, where is the unconscious little girl?"
"That child, I took her to the police station when I came back. The police there will help find her parents and take her home."
"Huh - that's good." Hearing this answer, the undocumented knight breathed a sigh of relief, and finally a gentle smile appeared on his face again.
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am an unlicensed knight and a professional hero."
Looking down at the outstretched hand, Saitama also showed a faint smile, held it directly, and said: "Yes, I remember, and my name is Saitama, and I am a hero driven by interest... ..Also, your last punch yesterday was very good.”
Although he was a little late and all he saw in that battle was the last punch, but...
Played really well.
Hearing this, the undocumented knight was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say for a while. After all, he had been losing in the previous battles with the weirdo.
At this time, he subconsciously looked at Gafan who was drinking water silently. When he saw the other person quietly giving him a thumbs up like yesterday, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"Well, I won yesterday, Saitama."
"That's really a good thing. After all, I used to feel very happy every time I defeated a weirdo who was stronger than me."
"Hey, Saitama, do you often fight weirdos?"
"Yeah, after all, I meet weird people almost every time I go out. The sports clothes I wore during that time were always damaged, and it was really troublesome to repair them."
"I understand this too. My combat uniform is always damaged, and I even have to stay up late to repair it."
"Right, right? Although my clothes seem to be repaired by myself for some reason, it's not a big deal."
"Is that so...huh???"
Looking at the two people who suddenly started chatting, Gafan, who had a lazy smile on his face, silently drank the cold water in the cup, moved his body slightly, and moved closer because he was completely full. And Kamijou Touma, who fell back with a burned-out look on his face and lay flat on the floor, asked with a curious look on his face.
"Master Kamijou, are you going to vomit?"
"..."
Kamijou Touma turned his head and glanced at this man speechlessly. The dark circles under his eyes seemed a bit heavy. How did you speak?
"I can barely hold on, but why do you call me the leader? The unfortunate Mr. Touma is just an ordinary high school student."
"Hey, don't worry about it. This is an interesting joke. It's the same as the suffix I used to call Saitama a teacher. By the way, my name is Gafan. Nice to meet you."
Gafan smiled kindly, looking at the other person's bushy hedgehog head with a bit of surprise.
In fact, he had been thinking about this question a long time ago. How did he grow such a stubborn hairstyle?
"Well, you can just call me Kamijou."
Kamijou Touma, who felt his stomach was bulging and had a band-aid on his nose, scratched his spiky head and felt that the other person was looking at him strangely.
"Oh, by the way, Gafan, thank you for your help yesterday."
After stretching on the floor, Kamijou Touma sat up directly, looked at the other party seriously, stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "If it weren't for your bravery, I probably wouldn't be able to sit properly now. It’s here.”
"...Well, you don't actually need to thank me, because although it's a bit sudden, you actually came to this world unexpectedly because of me. My action at that time was not considered a righteous act. , to be more precise, it should be out of responsibility.”
Gafan smiled helplessly, explained calmly, and at the same time raised his hand to hold the other person's extended right hand.
"But don't worry, only one day has passed since your old world, and I also know how to send you back. The method is very simple. Just hold your hands like this and make physical contact for a minute. Then we can all be well. The answer...huh?"
Before he finished speaking, Gafan felt a sudden tingling sensation in his hand. He looked down subconsciously in confusion, and then found that his right hand and that of Kamijou Touma's hand were emitting a strange faint light at the same time.
And this light is growing rapidly, just like——
Like it's going to explode?
Gafan: "..."
Damn it? ! ! !
"Explosive transfer!"
