"It's fine, it's already taken care of-"
Holding Tatsumaki's slender, supple waist in his arms, Josen likewise waved to Saitama and called out loudly.
"I knew it!"
At the sight, Saitama nodded in relief, a goofy grin appearing on his oval head, drawn in the style of a powerhouse. "Since Josen's already here, there definitely won't be any problems!"
Beside him, Flashy Flash looked thoughtful at the sight, silently updating his intelligence database-
First, the second-ranked S-Class Hero seemed to have a very good relationship with Saitama, who ranked nearly last among the S-Class Heroes.
Second, the second- and third-ranked S-Class Heroes were a couple.
Although almost no one cared about rankings at their current level, they could still provide some information worth referencing.
With quite a few outsiders present, Tatsumaki showed a little consideration for her younger sister's dignity and lowered her from the humiliating position in which she had been hoisted up.
Fubuki: ...Am I supposed to thank you, too~
Although Flashy Flash was secretly quite a show-off, he still presented a sufficiently aloof, handsome image in public. He simply observed the S-Class couple, Josen and Tatsumaki, in silence, gathering intelligence out of habit.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries, then departed together through the spatial portal Josen opened.
That afternoon, with Pig God arriving last, the number of S-Class Heroes present reached eleven.
The remaining S-Class Heroes served as a defensive force, maintaining order in the various cities. After all, the Hero Association Headquarters had considered that if other monsters exploited their absence during the campaign against the Monster Association to destroy the cities behind their lines, the losses would outweigh the gains!
Josen did not mind the Hero Association's concerns. After all, their considerations were intended to maintain the cities' normal defensive strength.
