Chapter Summaries

Fubuki abandoned her cooking after tasting Ye Chuan’s food and grew closer to him as he taught her to use telekinesis. After Genos detected the strange energy of the Paper Bag Man, Saitama mistook it for a gas leak and brought Genos to welcome Ye Chuan and Fubuki with a hot pot dinner, where Ye Chuan recognized the two visitors.

• Ye Chuan used his Six Eyes to assess Genos and found Saitama’s nature impossible to analyze.

After sharing a meal with Saitama and Genos, Ye Chuan watched as the Demon-Level Hundred-Eyed Giant Centipede attacked downtown Z City. Metal Bat fought it to exhaustion, while Fubuki went to the battlefield to test her improved strength.

• Ye Chuan dismissed the idea of eliminating the still-immature Saitama and joined Saitama, Genos, and Fubuki for hot pot.

• Fubuki received an emergency deployment order, steadied herself by recalling Ye Chuan's guidance, and went to battle with his permission.
• Metal Bat's weapon snapped after a brutal fight, and he fell to one knee, badly wounded and unable to continue.

Fubuki rescued the unconscious Metal Bat and, with Ye Chuan secretly amplifying her psychic power, killed the Dragon-level Hundred-Eyed Giant Centipede in one strike. The Hero Association concealed the monster’s true disaster level, while Fubuki’s fame soared and the press began comparing her with her sister Tatsumaki.

• At the Hero Association’s disaster assessment meeting, Metal Bat confirmed the monster was an exceptionally powerful Dragon-level threat.
• The executives decided to keep the true disaster level secret and continue announcing it as Demon-level.
• Fubuki’s fame and ranking predictions surged, and reports began placing her alongside Tatsumaki as a rival psychic hero.

Metal Bat followed Fubuki to her hidden apartment and found her living domestic life with Ye Chuan, whom she tried to pass off as a subordinate. After thanking her for saving him, Metal Bat warned that her imminent promotion to A-Rank would bring even more attention.

After the Dark Matter Pirate Crew’s defeat, Atomic Samurai and Bang independently visited Fubuki, hoping to investigate her reported abilities and spar with her. When Ye Chuan emerged, both masters sensed that he was the powerful figure they had truly come to find.

• Fubuki panicked when the two S-Class heroes asked to spar with her, knowing she had none of the abilities they sought.
• Ye Chuan came out to tell the visitors they were being noisy, and both masters immediately recognized him as their true target.

• Bang used Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist as Atomic Samurai launched Atomic Slash at the same time.

• Fubuki peeked out of the bedroom in her pajamas and asked Ye Chuan what had happened.
• Ye Chuan told Fubuki that a cockroach had gotten into the apartment and would not die.

• Garou blocked Tanktop Master's path, identified himself as a hero hunter, and Tanktop Master attacked with Tanktop Grapple Throw.
