The two remained silent and walked a little further.
Genos stopped under the streetlight.
"Teacher, I've made up my mind."
Saitama looked at him.
Genos said to him with a determined look, "I want to go back to the drawing board and start all over again."
"Oh, is that so? See you later then."
"Yes, then I'll take my leave."
After Genos finished speaking, he bowed to Saitama and then turned and left.
The phone he was holding already contained Ron and Fubuki's phone numbers.
Saitama waved to him and then turned and left.
…………
the other side.
Ron and Fubuki crossed a bridge that vehicles used to pass over.
Wearing a white fur coat, Fubuki glanced at Ron beside her and said, "Including tonight's, you already owe me over two hundred thousand yen. Don't forget that."
Ron yawned and said, "Only a little over two hundred thousand, that shouldn't be much to you, right?"
"What do you mean it's nothing? My money is responsible for the entire Fubuki Group's expenses, which is quite a strain. I'm already really strapped for cash lately."
"Then you can save a little money on your food, lodging, clothing and transportation. You can eat ramen and beef rice bowls instead."
"this is not OK!"
"You're such a hassle. I even gave you a lot of credit, didn't the Hero Association reward you?"
"As for the credit for that incident... I divided it equally among all the members of the Fubuki Group."
"..."
"Please, just remember to pay me back later."
"Yes Yes."
Ron replied lazily.
Although he could take out some gold and jewelry from the system space and return it to Fubuki right now, he thought it would be quite troublesome to explain. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, so he would just return it to her after he exchanged the money.
The night breeze gently caressed their hair.
Compared to the air in the world of One Piece and Demon Slayer, the air in this world has a stronger urban feel.
The two then parted ways at an intersection and went their separate ways home.
That night.
As Fubuki lay in her luxurious bed in her mansion, she remembered something that had been bothering her.
"Speaking of which... why did that S-rank cyborg call that C-rank bald guy 'teacher'?"
........................
Ron had expected Genos to come and fight him the next day, but he was surprised when he didn't.
After that day's rest, Fubuki led the Fubuki Group to continue their heroic activities in Z-City and nearby cities.
The city is at peace.
Ron also enjoyed two days of wandering around, looking for delicious food and desserts, and spending his nights in bars, tasting various wines. He woke up the next day in the beds of different beautiful women, enjoying a leisurely urban daily life.
This lasted for four days.
These five days.
After learning from Genos that C-rank heroes would be removed from the hero roster if they did not participate in hero activities for a week.
A bald, caped hero raced through the city at terrifying speed, his expression contorted in rage.
"Where is that weirdo, the one who's destroying the city?!"
After Saitama left, at home.
After another performance upgrade and mentally preparing himself, Genos stared at the phone screen in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly, before dialing the number.
"Moshi Moshi, are you free today...?"
A dessert shop.
Wearing a baseball cap, Ron chuckled into the phone while enjoying his fancy dessert, "Nothing's wrong, what's the time and place?"
"I'll be waiting for you in the no-man's land of Z city at 3 p.m. today."
"Row."
The phone hangs up.
Ron glanced at the time; it was only 1:30 PM.
Not urgent.
He continued to eat the dessert in front of him at a leisurely pace.
"correct."
Ron remembered something.
He took out his phone, typed with one hand, and sent a text message to someone.
…………
now.
Fubuki is leading the Fubuki Group on a patrol mission in F City, near Z City.
Lily, a single-ponytail girl with a black suit and nunchucks, is standing to the side holding her coat. She is also a member of Fubuki's B-rank hero group number 74 and a close confidante of Fubuki. She looks at Fubuki, who is giving orders like a queen, with eyes full of admiration.
Sudden.
The sound of a cell phone vibrating came from inside the coat she was holding.
Lily took out her phone, glanced at it, and then called out to Fubuki beside her:
"Team leader."
"Thank you."
Hearing the sound, Fubuki walked over, took the phone from her hand, opened it, and her expression turned slightly serious.
"It's 3 PM... It's 1:40 PM now."
"Lily, how long does it take to get from here to the no-man's land in Z City?"
Lily was taken aback for a moment, thought about it carefully, and replied, "It would take about two hours by tram, and at least an hour and a half by car."
"go!"
Fubuki grabbed her and ran toward the black car parked to the side.
"Team leader?"
The mountain ape, noticing the eyelashes of the second and third B-grade individuals, hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do? What's the situation here?"
"I have something to do, Mountain Ape, Eyelashes, I'll leave this place to you."
As she spoke, Fubuki took Lily and drove away without looking back.
The Fubuki group was left completely bewildered.
…………
The time came to half past two in the afternoon.
The uninhabited area of Z city.
"So this is the deserted area of Z City, known as the 'ghost town'... It really is deserted and dilapidated."
"The 33rd Class A hero, Springbeard, stroked his beard and said, 'Well, given the frequency with which strange people appear here, it would be abnormal if someone still lived here.'"
Among the 29 heroes of Rank A, Golden Ball, wearing a white hat and biting a lollipop, said with his hands in his pockets, "Let's start the investigation right away."
The two walked along the streets of the deserted area, talking as they went.
"In Z City, the frequency of strange occurrences has overwhelmingly exceeded that of other places. Several years ago, the appearance of high-level strange occurrences began to surge, and a large number of residents began to migrate to the central area."
“I know, and that’s why only water and electricity lines remain in this area, making it a ghost town.”
"The land here must be very cheap right now."
"Haha, don't joke around. Legend has it that there are super terrifying monsters living here. You've probably heard about it, right?"
"Of course, that's why the association sent us to investigate... We're about to enter the depths of the no-man's land, so please be careful."
"I know."
The two ventured deep into the no-man's-land, where the surroundings grew increasingly desolate, marked by signs of battle and destruction.
"For strange people to take root here, this place must have some secret."
