The instant Saitama jumped into the black hole, he regretted it.
Not because he was scared, but because—
"So sticky."
He landed on the floor of the passage, his shoes sinking into a thin layer of honey with a wet squelch. Golden honey clung to the soles, and he could barely pull them free.
"What is this...?"
He lifted his foot and looked at the strands of honey stretching from the sole, his face full of disgust.
A moment later, Genos landed as well. His boosters slowed him at the last moment, letting him touch down steadily. His optical lenses scanned the surroundings before he reported:
"Teacher, this is a spiraling passage descending underground. Its diameter is approximately five meters, and both the walls and floor are covered in a layer of honey roughly two centimeters thick. The passage is approximately three hundred meters deep, and its end connects to a massive underground space."
"Oh." Saitama nodded, then lowered his head to look at his shoes. "Can you get this honey off?"
"...It can be burned away with high heat."
"Then burn it."
Genos extended a finger. A weak flame sprayed onto Saitama's soles, and the honey instantly melted and dripped away.
"Thanks."
By then, the others had also begun landing one after another.
Gon was the most excited. The moment he landed, he ran back and forth through the passage, touching the honey on the walls with shining eyes.
"Wow—it's all honey! It smells so sweet!"
He dipped a finger into some honey and put it in his mouth. His eyes shone even brighter.
"It's delicious! It's ten times sweeter than ordinary honey!"
After landing, Killua immediately used Nen to protect the soles of his shoes and keep them from sticking to the honey. He watched Gon licking honey
