"No, she's more of an acquaintance."
Bai Ye immediately explained to Boros.
At his words, Fubuki's pupils trembled slightly, and a subtle change came over her expression.
Although she really was only an acquaintance, for some reason... a sense of disappointment welled up inside her...
Was it because... we weren't even friends...?
Or was it something else?
Fubuki wasn't sure...
"Is that so? It seems I still know far too little about the culture of this planet... Earth."
Boros looked thoughtful.
"You really should learn a bit more about it first..."
Bai Ye gave a slightly awkward smile.
"Well... I'll head back now."
Fubuki spoke up.
She had no idea what that sudden disappointment was about, so she quickly put it out of her mind.
"All right, see you."
Bai Ye nodded.
And so, Boros settled down in Z City's No Man's Land for the time being.
It wasn't a good idea for Boros to go out just yet. Everyone on Earth already knew what he looked like, and walking down a city street would certainly cause panic. At least until he joined the Hero Association, it was best for him to stay in No Man's Land.
"Almost all the houses around here are empty. You can pick any vacant one to stay in."
Bai Ye then asked Boros, "By the way, do you aliens need to sleep?"
"It isn't essential, but we do have that need. Sufficient rest allows us to remain in peak fighting condition."
Boros answered.
Bai Ye nodded slightly. "Right, then find a house to stay in."
"I suppose any place next door will do."
Boros walked out.
But when he tried to push open the door to the left, he accidentally failed to control his strength and smashed it straight off its hinges.
Crash!
