Watchdog Man

After only half an hour at the police station, Long came out dressed casually.

The government officials were originally going to interrogate him thoroughly, since there are quite a few blatant perverts like him in society... especially the way he appeared, which raised suspicions.

Furthermore, Q City boasts remarkably good public security within the urban cluster of the Human Supercontinent. This is not only the result of the heroes' efforts but also the considerable hard work of the grassroots organizations. It is absolutely impossible for Q City's reputation to be ruined because of a single individual.

Long was originally supposed to face severe punishment and reformation... Even if he explained, it was useless; the word "pervert" was already etched on his forehead.

Later, Oboro didn't bother to clarify anymore. He directly used his ability to invade the consciousness of the two police officers and manipulate them to let him go. Not only that, he also processed their identification documents and gave them his wallet.

"Q City..."

Long left the police station and strolled through the streets.

If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be the city under the jurisdiction of the S-class hero Watchdog Man.

That 'dog' who made even Garou suffer a defeat, possessing mysterious strength and being incredibly cute.

He was more relaxed than ever before. He worked hard to grow as Hunter x Hunter- time character, then came into contact with the Will Tree for the first time in Demon Slayer, plotting behind the scenes for resources, and then One Piece on to destroy the Will Tree in One Piece, overturning the world's tone. It can be said that he was always 'busy'... Of the several worlds, Demon Slayer was relatively easier, but he still often had to consider many factors and situations.

Now, it's not necessary.

"First, go find the bald demon king and become his neighbor... then just follow him around picking up resources. You don't need to worry about anything. It's simply... fantastic." Thinking of this, Long smiled broadly.

It feels so good to be back on 'Earth'.

A moment later, he walked down the street like a tourist.

Looking up, you can see an electronic screen on a building playing promotional videos.

The video features the most popular heroes of the moment defeating monsters... and includes the heroes' self-introductions and campaigning sessions, making it feel just like being a celebrity.

"Ah... my child, help!"

At that moment, a commotion broke out in the crowd on the street, and a woman fell to the ground, letting out a scream that sounded like crying.

Long opened her eyes wide, her gaze filled with curiosity.

A sleazy-looking man jumped out of an ice cream cart along the street, carrying a huge sack on his back and grinning triumphantly. Oboro was surprised because of the man's appearance; although he was human with distinct limbs and a torso, his head had transformed into a melting, sweet-smelling ice cream cone. But that wasn't the key point. The key point was that Oboro sensed that the man had suddenly undergone some kind of change; just seconds before, he clearly possessed human characteristics.

Things are different now.

"A weirdo... can change anytime, anywhere..."

Long took a sip of the juice in her hand and raised an eyebrow.

He was naturally aware of the ways and principles behind the freakishness of this world.

Seeing it with my own eyes was quite a unique experience.

"Giggle giggle! Who made these kids so greedy?!"

"This is their punishment!"

The Ice Cream Monster moved extremely fast. The sack on his back was clearly filled with kidnapped children, all of whom had fallen asleep after eating ice cream.

The strange man ran wildly, shouting as he knocked down many panicked passersby, heading straight for the direction where Oboro was.

"Get out of my way right now!"

The strange man also noticed the man blocking his way, who was standing motionless, and immediately cursed angrily.

The speed did not decrease.

The surrounding crowd had already scattered and fled because of the strange man's appearance, leaving the spot where Oboro stood as an empty space. So he stood alone and motionless, which was very conspicuous.

"Um."

Oboro ignored the strange man charging towards him; he was pondering a question.

He remembered... Saitama seemed to have encountered a very strong Kombu Infinity on his way home one time. Since he was missing seaweed as an ingredient in the dish he was making, he used the seaweed he had on hand after defeating the monster.

So, what Oboro finds interesting is... this weirdo was a human before, but now he's become a monster.

Is that 'ice cream' on the other person's head edible?

It smells... like it tastes pretty good.

"Go to hell!"

Seeing that a human dared to look down on him, the Ice Cream Monster glared angrily and, with a wave of his hand, several ice cream cones appeared in his hand... which he threw like darts.

These ice cream cones seem a bit different... to Oboro, they have a slightly lethal feel to them.

However, he was just about to make his move.

As if sensing something, it suddenly tilted its head and turned its body slightly to the side.

Immediately, a dark shadow darted up from behind and pounced directly at the strange man.

The speed was so fast that the strong wind it created made even a single strand of Oboro's hair sway.

In the instant the two passed each other.

A large, furry dog leaped into the air, looking at the smiling man who was drinking juice with a somewhat surprised expression... The man was none other than the S-class hero, Watchdog Man.

Q City is his territory, and any weirdo who does evil here will be 'eliminated' by him.

Watchdog Man pounced on Oboro from behind... He didn't intend to hit the human, he was just going to brush past him, but to his surprise... the man seemed to have judged his route, movements, and speed, and actually moved aside at the perfect moment, creating the best space for him.

"A hero, huh?"

A thought flashed through Watchdog Man's mind.

Ordinary people could not possibly possess such power.

He noticed the juice vendor's nonchalant demeanor; he didn't even glance at him...

A thought struck me.

These were all just fleeting thoughts in his mind.

The next second, the S-class hero wearing a dog costume flashed behind the Ice Cream Monster, and as he flew past, his claws knocked away the ice cream cones that were being thrown from the air.

As he landed, the Ice Cream Monster next to him exploded into white cream and ice crystals, torn apart by claw marks.

He immediately collapsed and died.

"It's Watchdog Man!"

"He's so cute..."

"So cool!"

Excited praise and admiration came from all around, and some people were clapping and taking pictures.

Watchdog Man stuck out his tongue and squatted on the ground like a dog, licking the ice cream sticky residue off his paw pads.

When he turned to look for the juice man, he found that the man had already bypassed the crowd and gone with the flow of people, leaving him only a blurry silhouette.

"He looks unfamiliar... I don't think there's anyone like him in the Association."

After thinking for a moment, Watchdog Man gave up on investigating further. He stepped onto a path cleared by the crowd and ran back to the Watchdog Plaza he had been guarding, which was not far from here.

"That's amazing..."

On the other end, Oboro tossed away the empty juice glass, crossed her arms behind her head, and smiled gently.

The image of Watchdog Man's every move from that very moment was replaying in my mind.

"However... the ultimate beastly nature, mind and body as one... well, it's just so-so... it'll do."

"He is indeed a promising talent in martial arts, but it's a pity... This kind of person is not suited to be bound by the rules and regulations of martial arts. This is actually more suitable for him... He has found a good path to grow."

After making a few comments, Long walked away into the distance.
