I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

Eric suddenly remembered at a certain moment that he seemed to be able to easily cross the world, from this world to another world.

While it might sound like a fantasy, it is the truth.

He really has quite a lot of abilities, and most of them are too strong to be imagined by others, so they cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

—— Saitama was once very jealous of these super bug abilities one after another.

"It's too much, too much Eric. Obviously everyone should stand on the same level and compete fairly and justly, but the result! You actually took the lead! Adding so many settings to yourself behind my back is too handsome and cheating Bar!"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all." Eric really didn't understand.

However, he had captured his friend's envy and jealousy, so he closed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, showing a natural look on his face: "This is an ability I already have, and it's useless for you to be envious."

Saitama, who unexpectedly has no "settings" other than the bald cloaked man and his fists, clenched his fists: "...Damn!!!"

Saitama was a little unhappy.

How could Eric, a sinful man, just become shorter without losing his hair, and instead increase his fashion value after becoming shorter, and his popularity soared so fast?

The secret contest between the strongest duo (so-and-so unilaterally unbalanced) has never stopped.

Saitama didn't go into why Eric had so many bug-like skills, who he was before his resurrection, and what his experience was like.

Eric didn't mention it, and Saitama just pretended he didn't find out and didn't know, and didn't ask at all.

He only cares about when he can get back to the game, or when he can see the incredible Eric being deflated, and the two of them are deflated together because they are fighting each other, not counting——

"Oh, I think too much. The guy who makes me feel helpless, this world doesn't exist yet!"

"Not necessarily, maybe we will meet in the next world we go to?"

"If there is such a character, let me take a good look at it."

Saitama actually just casually put forward a hypothesis.

Eric didn't take it seriously at the time either.

His memory has loosened a bit, and he knows the situation related to this ability. For example, except returning to the world he has been to can clarify the purpose, the place he has not been to will be quite random, and he may end up in some strange place. .

Not to mention where he can randomly go next, how likely is there to be a strong man comparable to him and Saitama.

Everything is unknown.

In "unknown", trouble and disturbance will be included together.

If it was the "he" in the past, he was mostly indifferent and indifferent to not being able to understand the road ahead, and a little inclined to be bored.

Eric didn't know why "I" didn't like to explore and develop.

Simply feel troublesome?Or, "he" actually liked to "explore" a long time ago, but then something happened——

It goes too far.Thinking about what he was thinking in the past is not what Eric intends to worry about now.

At least at this time he is not very repulsive.

Staying in the world of heroes is a bit annoying, mainly because I feel uncomfortable, but going outside is the best choice.

And, most importantly, he's not alone.

Saitama also lived alone in the original world, but now that he has a friend, it is more fun to run around with his friends.

The two strongest men happened to be lonely, so they got together by chance, so it's not bad to go together.

"What will the new world look like? Although it's meaningless to think about it in advance, eh—it's better to be more intense. A world where you can't fight and kill and can't do anything is the most boring!"

"Let's think about it, it's good to be like my hometown, there are aliens, and all kinds of weird people who can be made into ingredients... By the way, I have cooked kelp soup without adding salt, which is better than the kelp sold in the supermarket. Much fresher."

"Pfft—you cut off the growth on the weirdo and ate it?! How could this be eaten!!!"

Eric probably (I don't know how long it can be) will never want to eat kelp in his life, just thinking about it makes him want to vomit.

Oh, forgot.

Picky eaters are so picky that any chef can't help but want to teach his teenagers that they don't eat kelp.

He strictly ordered Saitama not to bring any weird ingredients home, and even if he brought them home, he was not allowed to cook them.

Saitama fought hard ("But it's really delicious!"), but failed, so he had to resentfully agree that during the period of partnering with Eric, he would reluctantly give up the supposedly existing fresh food that roamed independently.

"When I go back, I must find a good apprentice who is as obedient and filial as Jiao Dong, who tolerates your junk food. Let him accompany me to eat kelp, cabbage, crab monster..."

Saitama is still obsessed with the "ingredients" that are fresh without spending money.

"Nothing!" Eric couldn't listen anymore: "Can't you find an apprentice who is not only obedient, but more importantly, richer than you, so that you can eat meat without spending money!"

Saitama stayed for a few seconds, suddenly realized: "That's right! If we find a rich apprentice, we don't have to retreat—"

Saitama: "..."

Eric: "..."

It seemed to hear the sound of a window slowly opening in the dark, and the light penetrating from the outside illuminated the surroundings.

The two good friends looked at each other, and they both saw the seriousness on the other side that was almost frosty.

"It's wrong to think that it's good to be lazy and lazy to work. We are adults with hands and feet. We have to support ourselves. How can we think of being lazy and directly exploiting disciples..."

"Yeah, that's how it is. I'm not interested in material things at all. Whether it's food, housing or clothing, I just need to make ends meet. It's too much trouble."

"But... Eric, what if we're too poor to drink alcohol or eat fried chicken?"

"........."

"Ha, hahaha, I'm just kidding, I'm the strongest in the world anyway, it's impossible to be reduced to such a miserable situation. I have confidence in myself!"

"Tsk, didn't I say it, it doesn't matter what happens!"

The window that was quietly opened was forcibly snapped back by the two without changing their expressions.

The arrogance of the strong is fully displayed here.

Even if they live on the streets and can't afford beer or fried chicken, burgers and Coke cakes, they don't care about those extraneous things.

Even superficial money is dismissive! ! !

……but.

I still have to work in a convenience store.It's impossible not to work.

The main problem lies in this new world just arrived.

Eric was absolutely disappointed.

This place... is actually hundreds or thousands of times more boring than the world of heroes!

At least in the world of heroes, there are still criminals and villains jumping around the world, and villains who run out without thinking, have "personality", and the risk factor is quite high.

However, this place.

So--peaceful.

There are no "personalities", no professional heroes, no weirdos and no aliens, and criminals will not easily rule the world with darkness.The biggest disturbance in the city may be the bank being robbed at gunpoint.

Here, is a very ordinary world.

"...not interested, change to another one!"

"Wait, wait, Eric, at least stay here for a few days and observe!"

Saitama kept Eric with a rather reluctant "my intuition tells me this place is not easy", and his friends also reluctantly agreed to stay for a while.

What is the biggest trouble that every visitor from another world faces?

Of course it's proof of identity.

In a modern society with a complete order system, this thing is needed for everything you want to do.

Saitama's zero presence skills acquired in the hero world have disappeared, and they can no longer reproduce their effects here.

This time they were lucky. As soon as they arrived, they landed in the middle of the highway, and a car rushed over in the next second.

Because he was caught off guard, the driver failed to stop the car, and the car bumped straight into Saitama who was standing motionless in the road——

"Boom!"

The person is fine, standing firmly, not taking half a step back.

On the contrary, the car that hit it at super high speed was destroyed.

A huge fireball appeared in the road, and the flames shot straight into the sky, and there were scattered car body fragments that were also burning.

Eric disappeared for a moment, and when he reappeared, a circle of hopeless men in black who fainted from fright fell on the ground.

In his hand he carried a stiff gray-haired imp.

The little ghost barely stood still on the ground, and did not lie down on the ground like the man in black, but he slowed down for a full 2 ​​minutes before he spoke a bunch of nonsense in a trembling voice.

——At least to Erik and Saitama, most of this is bullshit.

After nagging for a long time, the kid finally said something that was still useful.

He said that they saved him, and they are the benefactors of the xx group (Eric automatically ignores the unimportant content). If you have any needs, you can ask them, and xxx will repay balabala within a reasonable range...

It came just fine.

Although he didn't think too much about saving people, and he didn't intend to ask for compensation, but the kid is so kind, and even offered to solve their urgent needs, so you don't have to be polite.

Very quickly, the identification of the two people from different worlds was perfectly solved.

When the little ghost on the road was picked up, he left behind a bank card, which was said to have eight zeros in the deposit.

"You can use the money as you like, just treat it as a sign..."

Before the little devil could finish his sentence, the bank card returned to him.

He will not understand.

These are two unusual men (how can they be ordinary people who can turn the car into the sky) and they have no interest in money. As long as they have alcohol and favorite junk food, even if they live in a rental house, they spend every day in convenience stores. Work and live comfortably.

After solving the identity problem, the strongest duo really lived a comfortable life as mentioned above for a few days.

During the day, Saitama went to work in a convenience store, and Eric, who was restricted by age (well, actually height), wandered around the world, and when his friends got off work, the two went back to the rental house to drink.

For several days in a row, their schedules remained the same, without even minor changes.

However, although it looks very comfortable, it is obviously not going to last long.

From the fact that Eric left the hero world without hesitation, he knew that he didn't like a stable and unchanging life in essence. There was nothing that could attract him here, so needless to say, he couldn't stay for long.

In a few more days, he will start his journey again——

"..."

"..."

"Huh? Eric, what's wrong with you, your face suddenly turned so dark?"

Saitama didn't know what happened, all he knew was that he had just got off work, came out of the convenience store and saw Eric, and the first thing he saw was that dark face.

The surrounding temperature showed a sharp drop, and the passers-by hugged themselves and trembled as they walked forward, still full of doubts.

Seeing this, Saitama quickly persuaded: "Calm down! Calm down, if unscientific incidents are caused here, it will be very troublesome!"

"We've been tricked."

"what?"

"Who is it, what kind of sneaky guy... dare to fool me??!"

Saitama (shocked): "Huh!"

From his point of view, it was Eric who suddenly became angry for no reason.If it is not stopped in time, I am afraid that the next day, there will be news of a blizzard in spring.

At first, Saitama thought that Eric was angry because he couldn't buy the newly discovered dessert, but unexpectedly, the fact is...

"..."

"God, even if I don't have the memory, I'd be quite angry when something like this happened, I can't bear it!"

Knowing the general truth from Eric's mouth, Saitama was stunned, and then became angry.

No one can bear to go back in time and do it all over again before the food in their mouths is eaten.

No one can endure a hard day's work, and just after getting off work, they are forced to go back in time and do it again.

Of course, no one can bear it—the above-mentioned repetition is repeated not only once, but dozens of times!

"What kind of devil is this! If it's a villain, it must be the worst kind!"

Saitama was filled with righteous indignation, and it was hard to imagine how painful it would be if he kept his memory every time like Eric did, and repeated dozens of jobs in a real sense.

"I'll dig that kid out." Eric's anger level had already reached its peak, and there was a tendency to surpass it in one fell swoop.

He had a bad temper.

In addition, with such a tragic experience before, it is a miracle that the world was not frozen in anger on the spot.

"I want to catch him and take away what he loves the most, again and again, so that he can only feel despair——!!!"

"Hey, that's enough! I think Eric is about to collapse your character design now! Just find someone, don't say this kind of true villain speech is so scary!"

Amid Saitama's sane shouts, Eric didn't do anything that met the villain's standards.

He just slapped the target person: the sneaky pink-haired kid into the alley with a murderous aura that could freeze people in reality.

The murderous intent is real, not an illusion of mystery and frightening.

Persisting until this point, the pink-haired boy who hadn't uttered a word could truly feel that he was held under the claws of a raging beast, who could tear his throat apart at any time.

This feeling... is quite strange.

The pink-haired boy is the most powerful superpower in the world. It is impossible for him to feel "dangerous" in the first place. On the contrary, he is the most dangerous creature in the world.

However, the "danger" came unexpectedly.

For example, just now, he, who has teleportation ability and telepathy to observe his surroundings, was dragged into the alley for the first time, and he still couldn't react in time.

For example, at this time, the pink-haired boy was even more shocked to find that he couldn't hear the mental activities of the silver-haired boy in front of him at all, which was equivalent to not being able to perceive its existence, which suddenly deepened the already undiminished sense of crisis.

The "fear" that has never appeared since birth, seems to be at this time...

Oh sorry, not yet.

The pink-haired boy was under violent and cruel pressure as if he was facing a storm, but he still didn't change his face.

He was startled at first, but it didn't last long before he regained his composure.

Although he couldn't hear the voice of the silver-haired boy, he could hear the voice of the bald man.

It was this voice as evidence that made the pink-haired boy, the superhuman Saiki Kusuo, completely sure: these two people are not threatening to him.

and.

No matter how fierce the silver-haired boy was, no matter how terrifying he was.

It's scary to stand on a chair that "just happens" to be there to look down on him.

The atmosphere of terror suddenly collapsed, unable to sustain even the slightest pressure.

[Are they here to make fun of the atmosphere?Is it the funny duo who added a new role to this funny comic?No, you have to stay away from them, I don't want to join in and become a funny trio. 】

The expressionless teenager with superpowers was thinking about this, but he didn't know that his complaints had predicted the future with great precision, and that was the so-called fate that he couldn't avoid even if he wanted to.

What Qiyu, who was complained about but still didn't know, was thinking in his heart:

【Ah, I was a little angry when I came here, but after all, I don’t remember it, so I can’t say how angry I am.You have to pretend to be very angry, otherwise Eric will feel lonely. Does acting like this work?Do you want to give the child a light punch in the ear?Oops, I feel more and more like a villain! 】

Therefore, the only person present whose emotions fluctuated greatly was Eric.

He didn't notice the passive sabotage of his companions, but he noticed the perfunctory attitude of the pink-haired kid who was the target of intimidation.

For the first time, I met (other than myself) such an arrogant kid.

Eric felt that his authority had been challenged, and he was even more furious.

If you think he can't do anything about the brat who can't take oil and salt, then you are very wrong!

"Click clatter!"

The wall behind Saiki Kusuo was completely shattered.

A piece of debris fell and just happened to hit the top of the pink-haired kid's head, and bounced on top of his head.

What came into view was the silver-haired boy's icy golden eyes, excluding factors such as height and appearance, which were not scary at all, just looking at these eyes was still very intimidating.

At that time, Saiki Kusuo was still adhering to the previous point of view, and his facial expression remained motionless.

But then, a sudden crack appeared in his defense, which could be called the iron wall!

The boy Gain stared at him with golden eyes like a falcon, from which he saw the weakness of Saiki Kusuo hidden under the defense.

Auxiliary is the power of language.

"Hey kid, what do you like?"

Hearing this question out of nowhere, Saiki Kusuo naturally didn't understand why.

He has no likes, no hobbies--of course it's a lie.Yes, but I won't say it at this time.

But Eric didn't need him to speak.

"Tsk, don't talk? Okay, let me take a guess. Of the dozens of times I bumped into you, 31 times were in front of the same coffee shop."

Saiki Kusuo: "?"

"Do you like coffee? Desserts in coffee shops? Oh, it won't be, what I dislike the most is coffee jelly that is sweet but has to be added with bitterness—"

Saiki Kusuo's eyelids twitched, and an unbelievable emotion finally emerged in his heart: "!"

exposed.

It's so easy to expose!

Saiki Kusuo was shocked, and Saitama was also shocked, thinking what happened to Eric, who had never bothered to use his brain, did he change because he was too angry!

Even, in fact, Eric himself was a little surprised... No!The development of the situation is completely under his control.

A mere brat, how could he not be able to deal with it?

I successfully found the favorite of the nasty kid, and it turned out to be the coffee jelly that he casually mentioned (etc.).

A trace of dislike flashed across the silver-haired boy's face, but one could imagine that at this moment, it was obviously a painful lesson for the little ghost, and it was more important to relieve his hatred.

"!!!"

Saiki Kusuo was kidnapped like this.

Although there are factors of self-knowledge of wrongdoing and a little bit of guilt for not doing anything real and not escaping, the experience of being kidnapped still makes superpowers feel very novel.

He also had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

Revenge involving his favorite things, could, could it be—

"Two cups... No, boss, we want twenty cups... No, forty cups of coffee jelly!"

Saiki Kusuo, who was tied by an extremely flexible ice rope made of ice: "Wait, are you a devil!!!"

Eric's expression became extremely cold at the moment.

Holding a spoon, scooped up a bit of coffee jelly, before putting it in his mouth, the boy turned his eyes lightly, and he was as cold as a real devil: "Wrong, I am the devil. By the way, you kid just throw your voice into it without opening your mouth." In my head, I am even more arrogant. Boss, add another ten servings of coffee jelly!"

Saiki Kusuo: "Not only is he in the second grade, this person is as childish as a kindergarten student!"

Saitama: "Wait a minute, Eric! Don't force yourself if you don't like it, you see that your face is a little bit wrong just after taking a bite! There will never be poison in it—"

Noisy.

The noisy conversation on their side has not yet stopped.

"Uh-ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

boom!Snapped!

At the table behind them, one of them suddenly stood up, strangled his neck, and made a strange sound that was impossible in normal state.

Didn't struggle for a few seconds.

The man tripped over the foot of the table, bumped into it, and fell facedown in the middle of the carpeted hallway.After the body twitched a few times, there was no more movement.

There was a long silence.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Just happened to call out the poisonous Saitama: "..."

Saiki Kusuo who completely lost his words: "..."

Eric with a slightly blue face: "..."
