Two Men (Part 1)

Don't recognize him? Tatsumaki just finished 'educating' Flashy Flash during the day, and Tatsumaki didn't believe this man didn't know who Flashy Flash was! As the current number one hero in the Hero Association, a highly prestigious S-class hero, she could recognize even a random kid on the street.

This man is doing it on purpose... he's working in tandem with this bald guy.

Tatsumaki clenched her little pink fists, her pretty face darkening.

She had never been humiliated like this before.

"Very well... I've made up my mind."

Suddenly, Tatsumaki raised her flushed face and said something coldly.

Then, he pointed his fingertip at Oboro, and then looked at Saitama.

Almost at the same time that Tatsumaki made her move, Oboro and Saitama's expressions changed drastically.

Although the two didn't take Tatsumaki seriously, this apartment building was their residence, and Tatsumaki could easily destroy it with her power.

At that moment, the woman was clearly enraged.

"Should we make a move?"

A thought flashed through Long's mind.

Saitama is right in front of us. If he makes a move, the bald guy might notice something... This isn't good.

He was about to activate his superpowers... He and Saitama both sensed the danger.

At the critical moment, suddenly, Tatsumaki froze again.

Saitama actually grabbed her by the collar with one hand and lifted her off the ground like a child.

"..."

Tatsumaki.

The room, which had been filled with a restless and dangerous atmosphere, instantly calmed down.

"So... it must be someone's lost child."

"With such a bad temper, it seems impossible to communicate with him. I'm the worst at communicating with children."

"I'll take her to the police station first."

As Saitama spoke, he grabbed Tatsumaki, put on his shoes at the entrance, and walked outside.

Despite his words, Saitama was just joking; he knew very well that the woman in his life was no ordinary person.

Moreover, the other party introduced himself as a hero.

The reason Tatsumaki's ability was interrupted was that she was completely unaware that the bald man was grabbing her, and she was unable to break free. Furthermore, the instant she was grabbed, Tatsumaki had already used her superpowers to stabilize herself.

Logically speaking... even if dozens of strongmen attacked together, they wouldn't be able to budge her body.

But now... she was easily lifted up by the bald man.

"I'm going now."

Before leaving, Saitama said goodbye.

Then close the door tightly.

Oboro could also see that Saitama didn't want to get hurt.

"Let me go, you bald bastard!"

"You bald jerk, I told you to let me go, didn't you hear me?!"

Tatsumaki struggled, her petite body twisting in mid-air, kicking her delicate white legs, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"What a terrible temper! No wonder she got lost."

"Could it be that your parents had enough of you and threw you out?"

Saitama leaped from the third floor, landing on the ground in front of the apartment building. Then, under the cover of night, he headed towards downtown Z-City, genuinely intending to hand Tatsumaki over to the police. Regardless of this woman's background, he couldn't just let her go unchecked; he had to at least restrain her.

"Get out of my way!"

Finally, a faint glow appeared in Tatsumaki's amber-green pupils, and she let out a soft cry.

Saitama, who was originally holding onto him, was instantly sent flying as if he had been hit by a speeding train.

Not only that, but even the streets around the two of them, and the buildings within a hundred meters radius, were shattered like dust by a powerful and swift Nen power, and wiped off the surface of the earth.

Tatsumaki was bursting with light as it floated in mid-air.

She was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

It wasn't from being tired... but from being angry.

And then there's... the mental stress.

Because she had never been so close to a man before, with the bald man holding her thin clothes... this made Tatsumaki feel extremely ashamed, yet also stirred up a strange feeling.

"Snort."

After a moment, Tatsumaki calmed down.

Looking disdainfully at the dark place where Saitama had been blasted away by Nen power, he turned around and was about to go back to the third floor of the apartment to find Oboro.

Long was her target for this trip.

However, as soon as she turned around, she heard a noise behind her. On the path in front of the apartment, under the only street lamp that was lit, Saitama, covered in dust, staggered over, unharmed, blinking his dead fish eyes that were as big as black beans.

"Um?"

Tatsumaki's body slowly floated into the air, her face cold and her expression aloof.

"Your vitality is quite tenacious... However, don't think that I'll let you off the hook just because of this. If you mess with me... you two will both pay the price!" Seeing that Saitama was not injured, Tatsumaki was a little surprised, but she didn't care... because she was extremely confident in her own strength.

After saying that, he waved his hand.

Instantly, a terrifying wind curtain arose.

This time, Saitama stood motionless in the storm, only raising his arm to block a large number of flying stones.

In the room, Long could clearly feel the entire apartment building shaking, and even the chandelier in the room was swaying from side to side.

The glass creaked and groaned, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

"Hey, haven't you made enough of a scene?"

A moment later, Saitama stood motionless amidst the dense wind blades, his casual clothes torn in several places, which made his expression grim. He had just bought a new set of pajamas that day, and now he was going to lose another jacket... He was heartbroken.

I didn't have many clothes to begin with.

Tatsumaki was a little stunned.

She unleashed superpowers of that magnitude; let alone a mere individual, even an entire army could be instantly blasted into the air or annihilated. How could this bald man remain unharmed? Tatsumaki's initially dismissive gaze turned serious.

Her green hair also floated up.

With his other hand raised, he aimed it at Saitama.

In an instant, the entire no-man's-land was cracking. In the area in front of the Tatsumaki, all the houses, streets, vegetation, and other things standing under the night sky were swept into the sky by the strong wind, as if a thick layer of skin had been torn off the entire surface of the earth.

Inside the apartment, Oboro's room also lost power instantly, plunging into darkness.

Moreover, cracks appeared in one wall of his house.

It will likely be torn to pieces by the strong winds and reduced to ruins.

Although the apartment wasn't directly affected by the Tatsumaki's superpowers, it was still quite close to the storm, and even the residual force... was something this staircase couldn't withstand.

Whoosh! At the critical moment, a figure flew out like an arrow from the sky-covering wind curtain and arrived directly in front of the Tatsumaki high in the sky.

It was Saitama.

With a simple jump, the bald man broke through the wind barrier.

It caught Tatsumaki completely off guard.

Tatsumaki's mouth dropped open in disbelief.

But Saitama caught her around the waist in a flash, and then, after his feet landed and smashed into the ground, creating a deep crater, he used his feet to propel himself forward again, carrying Tatsumaki at breakneck speed into the distance.

He couldn't just stand by and watch the Tatsumaki destroy his home.

Saitama's expression also turned serious.

We can't afford to be careless; it concerns his housing situation, which is no small matter.
