hero
It is the person who will stand up when people are oppressed and unable to resist their tragic fate.
…
"Squeak..."
The sliding door of a certain tavern was pushed open, and a bald man wearing rustic clothes and plastic gloves walked in.
"Um... hello, please ask..."
The bald head looked at the unfamiliar decoration in the tavern and asked the young proprietress in front of the wooden bar: "Genos and I got separated. The surroundings are surrounded by the sea. Do you know how to get to City Z?"
The empty tavern echoed with Baldhead's unique voice and tone.
It was as if all emotion had been lost.
"Z City?"
Cleaning the cup.
The boss lady Makino looked curiously at this ordinary man she had never seen before.
His eyes were dull and he was dressed strangely, but he looked completely harmless, like a cloud or a gust of wind.
After thinking about it, Maginot shook his head regretfully: "Sorry, I haven't heard of it. Are you lost?"
"Ah, that should be it."
The bald man sighed regretfully: "It's really annoying... I've asked several people along the way, and they all gave the same answer. If I can't go back quickly, I might miss tomorrow's sale... "
As he was talking, suddenly a "gurgling" sound came from the bald man's stomach.
"ah… "
The bald head looked down and said to himself with a little thought: "So, it seems that I overslept this morning and forgot to have breakfast..."
Looking at the bald head, Maginot smiled softly.
She suddenly felt that this bald head was a bit cute.
He took out a piece of bread from behind the counter and handed it to the bald head. Maginot said generously: "Then, this is for you... I think you must live in a town in the kingdom. After all, there is the sea all around. You shouldn't be." You must have walked here from the sea, hee..."
"Ah... thank you..."
The bald man walked to the bar, took the bread, took a bite, chewed and said: "It helped a lot... Although I think the town you mentioned is different from where I live, I will go and have a look. Thank you very much... "
Maginot smiled and narrowed her eyes: "You should help as much as you can, but I have never seen anyone wearing clothes like yours... By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Saitama."
Saitama wiped his mouth, smiled, and pointed at himself with his thumb: "He is a hero driven by interest."
a moment
That originally mediocre face seemed to burst into astonishing brilliance!
"you… "
Before Maginot had time to be surprised, there was a sudden "bang" and the wooden door at the entrance of the tavern was kicked open.
A group of sloppily dressed men walked in.
"Excuse me~!"
Saying the words without sincerity, the leading man walked to the bar and sat down. He raised his legs and tapped his feet on the table. He kicked his feet and said in a strange way: "Good afternoon, madam~ As you can see, we are mountains." Thief... But don't worry, we are not here to rob someone today. I will pay you one pele and sell us ten barrels of wine, hahaha... "
The accompanying bandits immediately started shouting and making noise, and the tavern suddenly became noisy.
Maginot's face darkened slightly.
A pele could not buy even a button, but they wanted ten barrels of wine.
But if this group of desperadoes does not obey them, both themselves and the innocent passerby named Saitama next to them will suffer.
With a forced smile, Maginot nodded and said: "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go get the wine out right away..."
But before she finished speaking, the bald man next to her who had been watching suddenly spoke.
"I'm talking about you..."
Saitama pointed at the bandit leader's muddy shoes on the bar with some dissatisfaction: "Doing this will cause trouble to others. The table is not meant for you to use. If you want to drink, please sit down." "
A simple sentence, but like a thunder!
Maginot's beautiful eyes widened, and she quickly pulled Saitama nervously, saying timidly: "Saitama, it's okay with me, don't mess with them, just leave quickly..."
The bandit leader over there also had his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
"You said... you want me to behave?"
"Hahaha… "
The bandit leader laughed wildly and turned around, shouting to his men: "Young men! This bald head is preaching to me, hahaha..."
The bandits also whistled one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely cheerful.
But the next second, the bandit leader immediately changed his face!
The expression that was originally laughing suddenly turned ferocious and terrifying!
"I said you did something wrong, you brat..."
Grabbing Saitama by the lapel, the bandit leader took out a reward notice and said angrily: "Watch it carefully! I am the bandit king Hikuma whose head is worth 8 million beli, and he is the most wanted criminal... hum... I have killed fifty-six of you, a self-righteous fool like you..."
Saitama said with dead eyes: "Oh."
…
I don’t know why, but the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
It’s been a long time…
"hateful!"
Hibuma angrily took out a knife and put it on Saitama's neck, and said angrily: "You bald guy, do you know how scary I am!? If you offend me, I will kill you right now..."
Before he finished speaking, Saitama punched him and sent him flying into the sky!
It took about ten minutes for Sun Bear's body to fall back from the air and fall to pieces on the floor of the tavern.
In an instant, the tavern was so quiet that you could barely hear a pin drop!
All the bandits stared at this scene dumbfounded, unable to believe that their vicious boss could be beaten to death with one punch in the most direct, simple, and inhumane way!
The bloody scene in front of them frightened the fierce-looking bandits to death.
After a scream, all the bandits rolled and crawled away from the tavern.
The small tavern was empty once again.
"Ah, sorry."
Saitama put away his fists apologetically, and said to Maginot, who was already in confusion next to him: "I will damage your roof and floor, and I will work to pay for it."
"No… "
"That's not the key, right!?"
Maginot finally recovered from the shock, and said incoherently to Saitama: "He... He is a bandit with a bounty of 8 million, and you actually gave him to him with one punch..."
"Oh? Is he strong?"
Saitama was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head: "I don't feel anything. Just like before, it was all solved with one punch... But you said he had a bounty of 8 million, can I use this bounty to compensate you for your losses?"
“More than enough…”
Maginot carefully looked Saitama up and down, but his careless and careless appearance really failed to connect him with the strong man who just punched the Bandit King to death.
"Saitama..."
Maginot's expression was a little complicated: "Who are you... a navy? Or a pirate hunter?"
Waving his hands, Saitama walked towards the outside of the tavern.
"No, I'm a hero."
Facing the afternoon sunshine outside the tavern, Saitama's side face once again smiled.
Strong and unwavering.
"A hero driven by interest."
