"Speaking of which, it's really strange!"

"Strange? What's strange?"

"No monsters, absolutely no monsters have appeared. If it were before, I would have encountered monsters at least a few times every day. But now, I haven't met a single one."

"Monsters? What monsters, do you mean strange people? Thugs? Hoodlums? Or perverts?"

"No! Monsters are monsters. Not strange people."

"...I don't understand!"

Keese looked at Saitama speechlessly. She suddenly felt that Saitama's head might have a problem. Of course, the problem she referred to was not that Saitama's head was bald and hairless, but that Saitama's brain was abnormal, and perhaps Saitama had some mental issues. This was why Saitama always wanted to be a hero.

Superheroes, beings that only existed in comics. As long as a person was mentally sound, they wouldn't believe that such so-called superheroes existed in reality. Superheroes were fictional, they were fake. Even Skye felt that legends like Captain America, who had been around for a long time, were probably exaggerated. Perhaps Captain America was very powerful, but at most, he was just a top soldier among special forces.

"This is terrible. No monsters, and I'm going to fail in my duty as a hero. Originally, I could at least get some thanks after defeating monsters. But now that even the monsters have disappeared, how am I supposed to make money and survive? Damn it, damn it, I haven't eaten meat for so long." Saitama clutched his head and roared in despair.

"Uh, your superhero persona is really— hmm, how should I put it? It seems pretty bad. And if you were a superhero, wouldn't you be happy that there are no monsters threatening the world? At least people wouldn't be threatened by monsters?" Skye shrugged and said casually. She still felt that Saitama claiming to be a hero was just a persona he created for himself.

"Huh? You say that, and it does seem right! As a hero, I do hope all monsters disappear." Saitama nodded and said seriously, "Skye, you're amazing!"

"Uh..." Skye felt that she was indeed too poor. If she had money, she could at least send her savior to the hospital for treatment, hmm, mental treatment. She thought Saitama was quite ill.

"But Saitama, what are your plans for the future?"

"Huh?" Saitama looked at Skye blankly.

Seeing Saitama like this, Skye couldn't help but laugh. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Saitama, although you saved me and I really want to repay you, I'm just a girl who has just become independent. I don't have a stable income, and after renting this place, I have almost no savings left. Even my own life is very difficult, so I don't think I can support you. Of course, you can stay with me for a while in the short term. Luckily, the landlord left us a sofa, didn't he?"

"I see!" Saitama responded woodenly.

"...I mean, you might need to find a job. Hmm, I forgot, you don't seem to be American, and you don't have a green card. Damn it, you're an undocumented immigrant." Skye felt a headache again. She suddenly felt that being saved by Saitama wasn't a good thing, because Saitama seemed to bring her a lot of trouble.

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought. If Skye had a chance to do it all over again, she would definitely want to be saved by Saitama. She didn't want to let those thugs get away with it.

"Work?" Saitama scratched his head and took out a business card. "Speaking of work, I met someone before. When I asked for directions, he gave me a business card and told me to come work or something."

"A business card? Asking you, an undocumented immigrant, to work? Could it be some shady person? I've heard that some people specifically find undocumented immigrants for dangerous jobs, which are not only dangerous but also pay very little, and they might even make you work for free without pay." Skye frowned slightly.

"Huh? Is that so? But it makes sense. I was just asking for directions when I found him, but he didn't answer my question at all." Saitama suddenly realized and then threw the business card away.

"Perhaps he intended to take you away directly under the guise of giving you directions." Skye said with a smile. "Of course, it's also possible that you really met a good person."

"A good person? That guy with the mustache?" Saitama couldn't help but scratch his head again. Skye was the one who called him a bad person, and Skye was also the one who called him a good person. But it didn't matter, anyway, Saitama really didn't plan to work. Working was impossible, it would be impossible to work in this lifetime. He had already vowed to become a hero. Even if he had left his original world, he had made up his mind to be a hero, and he couldn't give up so easily.

As for Saitama knowing that he had left his original world? Wasn't that very normal? Although Saitama looked dull, he wasn't intellectually disabled. How could a world where monsters never appeared be his original world? This was also why Saitama stayed and temporarily lodged with Skye.

"Mustache guy?"

"Yeah, wait, it's this mustache guy." Saitama picked up a newspaper from who knows when and pointed to the photo on the front page.

"Huh? Him? Tony Stark? You met him? Don't joke. He wouldn't be so kind as to find a job for everyone he meets." Skye's eyes widened. She didn't have a good impression of Tony Stark.

Well, it couldn't be said that Skye was hostile towards Tony Stark. It was simply because the two were not in the same world. One was a globally renowned billionaire playboy, and the other was living at the bottom of American society with an uncertain future. The two would never have any intersection. Moreover, the title of playboy made Skye not have a good impression of Tony Stark.

"So he really is a bad guy? Perhaps, even though there are no monsters, there are still bad guys, so I can still be a hero." Saitama stroked his chin.

"Don't joke, bad guy? Fine, Tony Stark might really be a jerk. But that has nothing to do with us. Wait, he gave you one of his business cards?" Skye's eyes lit up as she looked at Saitama.

"Uh, I threw the business card away."

"Ah? Ah~! Damn it, how could you throw it away? That's money, money!"

"Money? I didn't want to work there."

"I didn't say work. Tony Stark is the richest man in the world. He has money, a lot of money. Very rich."

"Oh, amazing!"

"...We could have sold Tony Stark's business card. Many people would want to get Tony Stark's business card, and they would definitely not be stingy with money. We're going to be rich. Saitama, we're going to be rich."

"But, the business card has already been thrown away by me."

"...Saitama, you're such a jerk!"
