"Some weird guy seems to have latched onto me. Was his name [Speed-o'-Sound Sonic] or [Joint Pannick]?"
Bai Ye and Saitama sat at the dining table, eating together as Saitama talked about what had happened when he went to deal with the [Paradise Group].
"It was probably Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, right? Though both names are equally weird..."
Bai Ye couldn't help making a quip.
Since "Sonic" meant relating to the speed of sound, [Speed-o'-Sound Sonic] essentially sounded like "Speed-o'-Sound Speed-o'-Sound," making it redundant.
And he wasn't the only one. There were also "Flashy Flash," "Hellfire Flame," and "Gale Wind." Their names all had the same redundancy, and they all came from a certain ninja village.
Apparently, everyone who came out of that ninja village had a name in that format.
"He told me to wait for him and said he'd beat me with his ultimate ninjutsu. He seems like a seriously troublesome guy."
Saitama wondered whether he shouldn't have told the man his name back then...
"It's fine. You're strong anyway, Saitama."
Bai Ye said it casually.
"Forget it. I'll just pretend I never met him."
Saitama promptly put the matter out of his mind. Reading manga was a better use of his time than thinking about that.

At Bai Ye's sudden arrival, joy blossomed across Psykos's face.
"I did promise, after all. I don't like going back on my word."
