I have become stronger, but also shorter [comprehensive]

They were frightened out of their psychological shadows because they did the horrible thing of tearing down a world with their bare hands and didn't tell them in advance to make them mentally prepared——

In short, it is such a reason that is obviously random nonsense.

Eric was dragged by the boys who were really crying, and he had to be dragged back by them for several days before he could regain his freedom as before, ruthless, clean, and unrestrained, and set off on his journey again.

"really?"

"What?"

"What's cold, what's chic, what's really sad and reluctant, now it's far away, it's completely fine to show it - hey, hey, I said you can pretend you didn't see it, you still stare at me!"

Saitama was a little disappointed.

He thought that they had known each other for so long, that they knew each other's virtues (?) by heart, and that the friend's bad temper could at least be restrained in front of him and confessed a little bit.

Turns out he was wrong.

There are always such a small group of people in the world, with the word "tsundere" written from head to toe.

However, the proportion of "proud" is obviously far greater than that of "jiao".And the part that belongs to "Jiao" is particularly strong, comparable to a reinforced iron plate.

Normally, rebar cannot be expected to soften into cement, so Saitama is doomed to disappointment...

"Do I look sad in any way?"

Saitama: "Huh?"

He subconsciously wanted to ask "Isn't it?", and he had already tacitly agreed in his heart that his friend was desperately trying to save face and was secretly sad.

But, take a closer look.

"Uh uh uh……"

Unexpectedly——really not!

This discovery shocked Saitama.

You know, the last time he left the Hero World, Eric stood on the top of a tall building and looked in the direction of Hero High School for a moment without saying a word.

Although it may not be to the point of dejection, Saitama can still detect that there are indeed some obscure emotions in the boy's heart.

And this time, unexpectedly, he didn't notice it at all?

If Eric hadn't made progress and reached the state where he couldn't show his emotions, there was only one possibility——

"There's nothing to be sentimental about. At least for now, it's not time to be sentimental."

"what?"

He seemed to have said the same thing last time, but the mentality of the two times was different.Is it because of the addition of the latter half of the sentence?

"Anyway, I will come back. After a while, or whenever I think of it, I will come back. You know, they don't need me to stare here anymore."

"That's what I said last time, but..."

It seems clearer now.

Before leaving this time, Eric specially invited his little brothers to dinner.

It is said that they were disturbed and sent them home quickly with a meal, but the nature of the meal was actually similar to a farewell feast.

The location is still the boss's fried chicken shop-note, they didn't come to eat and drink for free, Eric really paid for it.

The "scholarship" he got during the few months he stayed in Xiongying was basically useless, and he still kept it with him until this day, before taking it all out.

The meal money for the fried chicken and hamburger set meal for more than [-] people was directly stuffed into the boss' cash drawer, and then sealed with ice, so that the boss could not refund it even if he wanted to.

In fact, in this environment, if it is wine, it may be more suitable than cola.

Because a large number of people were banging on the table, looking very angry and sad.The representative figure among them should be Katsuki Bakugo.

The boy was indeed too young.

Back then, when he saw short... Eric, Bakugo Katsuki didn't like him.

Later, after suffering a series of heavy blows and smoothing out his awkwardness and disobedience, Katsuki Bakugo finally found him pleasing to the eye, but he still refused to admit defeat in his heart.

He always firmly believes that his failure to defeat Eric is only temporary, and in the future, he will definitely be able to defeat the Silver Demon King——

... still defeating the fart now!

Although Bakugo Katsuki's personality is blown up (more than) a little bit, but his reason is always online.

What goals can be achieved through hard work, what wishes can only be "wishes" from the beginning to the end, don't even think about it... He actually knows quite well.

With such a disparity in strength, the strength revealed by the "opponent" before is just the tip of the iceberg, and the true strength displayed is like a vast ocean.

In such a comparison, he is not stupid.

But it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable in my heart, and it is even more difficult to admit my weakness.

"Damn...Damn, hate, hate - hate!"

The table in the fried chicken shop was hammered by the gnashing yellow-haired boy, and the table board was almost broken with a punch, creating the momentum of a major earthquake.

Luckily he didn't get so emotional that he blew up the table.

Fortunately, the owner of the store is an acquaintance. When he saw the chaos in his store, he would happily not get angry and would not drive them out.

The children in Class A are very companionate. Seeing that Bao Hao is so entangled, they all come up to comfort him.

"Just get used to it, Bakugo! Don't you just feel the mood we've been in all this time?"

Bakugo Katsuki (blue veins ready, explosive bar charging): "..."

"I used to think that just having a nightmare and dreaming that Brother Eric really became the devil was already terrifying. I didn't expect the reality to be even scarier—ah, after having a foreshadowing and then facing the bleak life, I suddenly felt that it was actually very easy. Accept it, you also have to learn from me!"

Bakugo Katsuki (exploded, blue veins really exploded): "..."

"Anyway, no matter how hard you struggle, you will be beaten up by your elder brother... Oh no, it doesn't mean that you don't want to struggle anymore, I mean, the result won't change anyway. As the bottom of the food chain, we can only let nature take its course and adjust our mentality, woo .”

"Yes."

Regarding this topic, Brother Eric sat down with the number one (actually number two) disciple, Hong Jiaodong, who has a great say.

He gave his advice to Katsuki Bakugo frankly, earnestly, and earnestly: "Just don't treat them as human beings."

"..."

Hong Jiaodong: "I really think so, the teacher and Mr. Saitama are no longer in the category of [normal] human beings. In other words, they are not human."

The other people clenched their fists, their blood boiling: "Mr. Hong is right! So! We just need to do our best within the scope of human beings! Excluding non-human beings, we can also become the strongest heroes!"

"Come on everyone!!!"

"Oh oh oh oh! Come on!!!"

In response to all calls, the young people were full of vigor, holding up the chicken legs/chicken wings/hamburgers that had been bitten in unison and shouting loudly.

Bakugo Katsuki: "..."

"What are you talking about—"

The word "话" couldn't be uttered, so it temporarily turned into a puff that almost touched the tongue.

After cutting off the passionate shout, what followed in the store was a series of regular and transparent loud noises.

"Bang bang bang bang... bang bang!"

The "strong men" who were holding up chicken legs and so on and making bold words were all wiped out at the same time, and the back of their heads were pressed down, and their foreheads were in close contact with the table.

Whoever made such a frenzied act...

No.

Brother Eric, who punished the younger brothers reasonably and reasonably, raised his eyebrows, only listening to the voice, he was really a bit sinister: "You guys, you are so courageous that you can't hold it back, who are you saying that you are not human?"

I don't know if Saitama is a human. (Saitama: "I'm lying down again?")

Anyway, Eric is a genuine human being, and there is absolutely no mistake about this.

Among the strong men who were pushed to the ground in unison, there was inevitably Katsuki Bakugo who didn't respond at all.

Bakugo Katsuki was angry.

He looked up angrily.

Then was held down again.

Bakugo Katsuki seriously suspects that this is a conspiracy hidden by the owner of the fried chicken shop under the optimistic smile.

Make the chairs in the store so short that when they sit down, the height drops sharply, allowing the person whose height is not very satisfactory to easily control the back of the head-it is definitely a conspiracy that has been planned long ago, damn it! !

Eric tapped the durian head of the Explosive Kid.

After knocking once, it was probably his sharp intuition that made him unhappy, and then he raised his hand and knocked a second time.

Explosive Kid (jumps up): "Hello?!!!"

Hello is useless.

Because Eric had gone away as if he couldn't hear the sound.

The brats make trouble on their own, it doesn't involve Thunder Point, and the big brother won't bother with them.

This hilarious scene made Saitama next to him very embarrassed.

After dinner, the young people consciously cleaned up the remnants left over from eating, and helped the boss wash the dishes and wipe the table by the way.

After finishing this set in a hurry, they separated at the door of the store.

I won't be too excited when I say goodbye, and there will be no unnecessary emotions.

Maybe there are actually, but everyone hides the things they want to say but are difficult to say together with their emotions, and only regard this as a normal farewell-after we part here, there is no need to say more, and we will see you tomorrow.

Only Hong Jiaodong said a few more words at the end.

"Teacher, if you don't find me at my house when you come here." The boy took out his mobile phone as a signal: "You can call or send a message."

His gesture, um, seemed to focus not on the call or the message, but on the phone itself.

Hong Jiaodong hung an extra mobile phone chain on his mobile phone, which was not there before.

The mobile phone pendant has the same cat's head as his. Because it doesn't have a chain, I tried to hang it up after trying to find a way, so that I made a little scratch, but I couldn't see it clearly unless I looked closely.

The serious-looking Hong Jun, the serious-looking Hong Jun’s mobile phone, and the unique and cute mobile phone chain—it’s really a spectacle with a sharp increase in contrast.

"understood."

Eric only said so lazily.

Then he and Saitama left and stayed alone on the top of the building for a while, and Saitama asked a probing question at that time.

Now, in retrospect, Saitama understood what Eric was thinking.

No need to be sentimental, they will surely be back often for a long time to come.

Eric should have already decided not to worry about what would cause trouble if he saw it, but it would be better not to see it.He couldn't completely leave the "little brothers" alone, and he really couldn't let go.

but……

quite a long time.

When those children grow up and officially embark on the road to the future, they have their own deeper bonds, and they no longer need the care of those who have gone away——after that?

Saitama's heart tightened, and he thought to himself, he seemed to have discovered Eric's unfinished subtext.

It's tricky.

This is a dangerous topic that cannot be mentioned more, and it seems that as long as it is a living life, no one can avoid this issue.

Except Eric.

"...Well, it's fine."

Saitama only struggled for a moment, and then put aside his troubles neatly.

As Eric said, at least there is no need to worry about it now, it is far from that point.

He himself subconsciously wanted to avoid talking about it.

"Come on, come on, think about it, say goodbye to the children happily, and you have spent the last of your private money, where are we going next?"

"Let's just go, what else... um? Wait a minute, I always feel, have we forgotten something?"

"That's right! Speaking of which, I seem to have the impression—"

Eric: "No it's—"

Saitama: "Qi——"

"..."

"..."

"...Ah, boy Kusuo!"

--no.

I accidentally forgot the partner I promised to play with in the past-this is not true!It's not their fault either!

Eric and Saitama quickly found their next destination.

I've been there before, so it's very convenient to find it this time.

Just when they stopped on the street, discussing (guiltfully) whether to buy some coffee jelly or something.

A black Qi Kusuo suddenly appeared with a schoolbag on his back.

Judging from the boy's expression on his face, even though he didn't have the slightest emotional change, he can still reveal the layers of inner darkness. At a young age, he has already been very interested in the creatures called "adults" (specifically referring to the small part that has contact with them). )disappointed.

These two mature adults are very puzzled, isn't it just a few... more than ten days late?Why is the resentment of the teenager with super powers so great that it is almost materialized.

They didn't know how horribly tortured Saiki Kusuo had been in these days.

Talking about the magician's small theater of appearing and disappearing is just a trivial matter. What really trains the mind and body of minors is the confusion that is rooted in the heart and can never be pulled out!

In great indignation, Saiki Kusuo ate thirty cups of coffee jelly in one go.

He didn't blink his eyes, he ate as if he didn't eat, the whole process didn't stop at all, it was done in one go.

But Saitama's expression is not so beautiful.

Eric's deposit was completely squandered not long ago, and at this critical moment, he can only be topped up.

Following in the footsteps of his friends, the last piece of private money that the man quietly saved from his part-time job also officially came to fruition.Thanks to the yen in different worlds, his private money can also be used here.

That's it.

Walking out of the coffee shop, Saitama's face was earthy, and Saiki Kusuo was in a slightly better mood.

As for Eric—

It wasn't his money that was spent, he was in a calm mood, at most he wanted to laugh out loud to save his friend's face.

"Kusuo boy, I have no money."

"Where is the coffee jelly so delicious?"

"Eric is out of money, too."

"I didn't have any money."

"Without your help, we would have to sleep on the streets."

"What's wrong with sleeping on the street? That's how I came here before."

"Eric, don't talk."

"Oh."

Forcibly suppressing his friends, Saitama began to re-cut to the point:

"Do you want to think about it, give us..."

"Okay, after getting my parents' consent, you can live in my house. By the way, the probability of their consent is [-]%."

"Eh? So refreshing?!"

It is not ruled out that the superpowers will become more tolerant after eating thirty cups of coffee jelly.

But, the truth is:

Saiki Kusuo: "Until the remaining [-] cups of coffee jelly are finished, I will detain you at my house to prevent you from running away suddenly after you owe debts."

Saitama (shocked): "God! That's how it is!"

The "coldness" of the boy with superpowers is so outrageous that the second strongest man in the world (now confirmed) can't help but exclaim, and it also makes the strongest man in the world——

"Pfft...hahahahaha!"

The sudden laughter attracted the attention of the other two, Saitama and Saiki Kusuo stopped joking and looked over.

Eric looked back with the same indifferent expression as before.

As if the person who laughed was not him, but just any passerby.

Saitama: Staring like discovering a new land——

Saiki Kusuo: Staring thoughtfully at—

Eric: Inexplicable, suddenly alert!

In a blink of an eye, he grabbed the fingers that the two of them stretched out in unison, as if they wanted to poke his face.

Eric: "What do you want?"

"No." Saitama quibbled: "I just saw that your hair is still a bit messy after you comb it, do you want to fix it again?"

"This is also a subconscious movement that I can't control." Saiki Kusuo also said: "Maybe because I saw that your hair is different in length, I unconsciously raised my hand to help you straighten it."

Eric: "..."

Eric: "???"

"Saitama..."

Suddenly whispered.

"My hair."

And then broke out.

"Didn't you volunteer to mend it with scissors a few days ago, and you can guarantee that the mending is very good, beyond the level of a barber? I haven't looked carefully yet-you come here!!!"

Before the words finished, Saitama had already fled quickly.

He has never practiced operation at all, so how could he have a level beyond that of a professional barber.

I couldn't get off the stage by speaking big words, so I could only go up with the scissors directly, so the first cut cut off my friend's smooth and soft silver hair.

Feeling bad, he continued to click and lame.

Click again, it's over and crooked again, keep going, keep going——

Out of trust in his friend, Eric hasn't looked carefully at what the hair on his back has become. He just thinks it seems to be cut a bit too short, and he is not used to the cold neck.

Still haven't looked carefully.

But he already knew what was wrong.

"Sai!! Tama!!!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, Eric, calm down!!! No, where did you get the scissors? I don't have hair to let you... Fuck! No, even though they are all men, don't mess around ah!"

A sudden gust of wind blew up on the street, almost blowing pedestrians away.

Why didn't it get blown away, needless to say?

Saiki Kusuo seemed to have returned to the time when he had just met those two people, and was forced to clean up the mess for them.

Teenager with superpowers (angry): "Don't throw everything at me just because you think superpowers are easy to use!"

The unreliable adult duo you chased me away from (didn't hear): "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"..."

Saiki Kusuo had endured too much at a young age, and it seemed that he was only one step away from dying of myocardial infarction.

It was obviously the first meeting with these two people--specifically referring to reality, but he frowned and looked at the chaos happening in front of him, unexpectedly not too much agitation.

It's like they're already familiar.

It's like they already have a tacit understanding.

This feeling……

That's it.

The word "not bad" is still not so easy to say.

The perplexities that kept the boy from sleeping for a long time seem to be able to ask the parties face to face.

However, it is also very strange.

The uncomfortable feeling of congested heart eased slightly, and suddenly Saiki Kusuo was not so anxious to understand.In other words, even if you don't ask, it doesn't matter.

The figures were intertwined, and in a trance, it seemed to see several familiar and unfamiliar figures.

The man who had appeared in a brief dream stepped forward and met the two people who were waiting for him in front of him.

Under the sunshine, the man's silver hair had an extra layer of eye-catching golden light, which softened the snow-like color and added even more dazzling splendor to his own radiance.

It was the shimmering water that flickered on the surface of the lake.

The reeds on the shore are rippling with the wind in his eyes, swaying like golden waves, and his laughter is the warm wind that blows people's hearts.

[Where are you going next? 】

he asked a friend.

[I heard that a giant snake that eats people has appeared outside the city, okay, let's go and have a look. 】

The blond man wrapped around his shoulders pondered and said.

Judging from the subtle expression, it seems that there is some dislike for this overly intimate gesture.

However, the man who was obviously the king stretched his brows again, and turned his gaze to the face of the person beside him.

【There is no need for all three of us to go...】

The silver-haired man walked in the middle, on the left, and was questioned by his friend who held his right hand very naturally.

That was a beautiful person.

Or, quality has the body of a beautiful person.The doll looks like a boy, but his eyes and heart are as pure and flawless.

The silver-haired man heard his objection, but he didn't speak. He just smiled and clenched his hands tightly, implying that it was self-evident.

【Well. 】

The puppet understands.

He couldn't resist the man's fiery gaze, or maybe he himself had been shaken for a long time.

In short, the puppet finally made a helpless but indulgent voice: [Although it took a lot of trouble... If Jill no longer uses going back to deal with chores as an excuse, then let's go together. 】

[Enkidu!Do you think this king is as idle as the two of you every day! 】

【Then why are you free today? 】

[Hmph, someone cried and said that they came to the throne, and it was really noisy, so I went there myself. 】

【Ah, is that so—】

[Are you ready?Have you discussed it?Oh, stop talking!go away!Why!Lucas, let's go! 】

Thousands of years ago in the past, there were three people walking side by side in such a graceful manner.

……

Thousands of years later, there will also be three such people.

The silver-haired boy with short hair changed from long to short, with an indifferent expression, walking in the middle, as if a snowstorm was falling, with an astonishing momentum.

Everywhere but no hair—looks like a normal man walking to his left.

It has pink hair, green glasses, and a suppressor on the top of the head—it doesn't look ordinary anywhere, but the junior high school boy who cheats with superpowers walks on his right.

The three are also talking.

"Boy Kusuo, are you going to have a New Year's holiday starting tomorrow? Do you want to go out and play together?"

"If it's something weird, please allow me to decline."

"Hey, you guys, first think about what to have for dinner."

“Soba noodles…”

"Don't eat."

"Rice tofu..."

"Pale, don't eat."

"Saury...well, I know you're going to say no to eating it again! It's because you're so picky that you can't grow tall, Eric! Kusuo don't learn from him!"

"What? You say what you just said again?!"

"There is still hope for my hair, if you are a picky eater, it really won't grow taller!"

"It is said that height has nothing to do with what I eat. Your hair is completely hopeless. Give up!"

"dwarf!"

"Baldy!"

"A dwarf who is not tall!"

"Baldy with no hair!"

"Wait, why do I have to stand stupidly at the school gate with you, and I have to be discriminated against because of these mentally handicapped speeches..."

"And you! Fool!"

Junior high school student: "?"

"Don't casually involve irrelevant people - this is obviously a false setting you forced on me for the sake of formation, okay?"

"Hi-Hi!!!"
