A Few More Levels

Chapter 13: The Wrath of Haku

-This is talking with telepathy-

These are just thoughts

Sorry if it's a bit late and a bit short. Fair warning, this chapter is unedited because I'm tired and it's 3 in the goddamn morning.

"Hey Sai-nii, did you get the seaweed?" A mellow voice flowed out of the speaker, jolting Saitama from his trance and once he processed what his sister had said through the phone, the bald man managed a nervous chuckle.

"Ahahaha, do you really need it that badly?"

A sigh. "Nii-san, it's called a Seaweed Soup. What do you think?"

"Ahh… Sorry?" He offered, his eyes darting everywhere as if the girl would suddenly appear before him with a spatula held in her hand threateningly, ready to smack his face and rearrange it for him.

It happened twice already, so there's a possibility that it might happen again even if it does sound absurd. The last time it did happen, didn't really end well for him or his groin. What can he say, his sister can be vicious about the smallest of things, more so now that she started having her period. The last week of last month was complete torture for him, her hormones raging high and all of the frustration was directed at him while Genos (the lucky bastard) gets to be doted on.

(One of the reasons why he was twitchy when in the subject of Genos and Haku's close relationship and why he has sudden bouts of jealousy that Saitama still resolutely denies.)

That's just plain unfair towards his person, right?

(His baby sister is now starting to grow into a woman, he wonders if he's even ready for that if he would be ever ready for that.)

Casting his gaze to the other side, Saitama saw a man in which he could only describe as someone from a gang. The dark-skinned man looked every bit of a beat-up gangster member with a few teeth short and myriad of bruises - that are slowly starting to swell - peppering his face. The man laid passed out in a plant box, in his left arm is a modified sling strapped around his wrist with a few golden (pachinko?) balls around the leather strap the red laser pointer attached to it is flickering on and off.

Did a gang fight happen here? Last time he checked, the last gang and their pompous boss ran away screaming like little girls from one vengeful Haku. The main reason for that terrifying anger was because they were harassing the old man who makes Haku's costumes for cosplay. Haku really did love that old man, probably the discount and not just the old man's company.

Plus, debts and Haku doesn't mix well. That girl hates owing someone more than anything else which is completely reasonable in Saitama's eyes.

It doesn't help that debts had something to do with her past that had caused her great misery.

Saitama gave another sweep to the area when he turned to enter a tunnel, just to make sure that his beloved temperamental sister was nowhere in sight.

Thankfully, she did not appear after a few more erratic beats of his heart, he let his eyes wander to the usual rabble and broken property and… is that a person in the trash? A dark-haired man in a tattered suit laid face down on the black garbage bag to his immediate right. The man's breathing was labored, but he's alive nonetheless.

Nevermind, it's probably just another hobo looking for a place to rest, though his choice of bed could've been better. There's a lot of vacant houses and apartments in this side of the city.

And it's dangerous in this part of the city.

Speaking of dangerous, there's a monster just a few feet away from him. A black human shaped one with seaweed for hair. Seaweed for hair.

Seaweed.

Saitama just had a Eureka moment.

A grin stretched across his face. It was perfect. Guess he wouldn't have to walk a good distance back to the supermarket.

"—ii-san! Nii-san! You still there?" His sister interrupted his mini celebration at his brilliant idea, the girl even sounded a tad worried and he could detect it through her usual bland voice.

Saitama inwardly cooed at his sister's cuteness. "Don't worry, just got a little distracted."

"Of course you are." The girl quipped dryly, and before the bald hero could even attempt to open his mouth the girl continued. "Anyways, like I was saying before you got 'distracted', a sorry wouldn't bring me seaweed Nii-san. So, why don't you go back to the supermarket and—"

"I've got it Haku, it seems like we would have fresh seaweed after all and not a store bought one."

"…"

"…"

Saitama advance towards the monster while its hair squiggled in the air in an attempt to appear menacing. He has seen better. Haku's version of that same move is waaaay more intimidating a hundred times over. Nothing bodes well to the one who incited her wrath when that happens.

"You better clean that up well when you get here." There was a click and the call ended.

Haku got the gist of what he was saying as always, it really pays to have a sibling who understood you really well.

"Seems like Sai-nii has found a way to get fresh seaweed."

Genos made a 'hn' sound beside her, helping her by taking out the volumes of manga from the shelf. "It must be the monster from earlier, I guess that it might be some sort of seaweed monster, it explains the tentacle-like appendages."

"It must've defeated the other two heroes then." The teen added, holding up her hands to receive the books from Genos in order to put it in a box.

"Seems like it, I wonder why they are in here? The association might be investigating the rumors."

Haku paused. "Rumors?"

Genos nodded, extending his arms to get the bound literature from the highest shelf. "Yes, there are rumors circulating in this part of the city which is abandoned. According to the Hero Association's page and some forums on the internet, monsters from across the land are gathering here. There are speculations that they might be reproducing through something similar to an ant colony, a queen of sorts. This queen of monster is somehow communicating to each one of her subjects and are planning something."

The teen ran a hand to a cover of a particular book, one of her personal favorites, Frankenstein. There was a somber faraway look in her amber eyes, like she was reminiscing something painful.

"Probably planning something to erase humanity." A hollow imitation of a smile came to her lips, Genos frowned at this, that expression doesn't suit her in any which way, eyes so doll-like, glassy and lifeless. In his own opinion, Haku looked best when she's smiling genuinely, reaching her amber eyes and making them look warm and less unfeeling. More there and alive.

The smile wasn't there for long and Haku returned to her impassive default expression. And they're all right under our feet. She busied herself in arranging the books so it all fit while not ruining the cover or a single page. At this point, I don't care what they're doing, as long as it doesn't involve innocent people or my precious people getting killed, I'll let them build their little community.

"Genos, be sure when Nii-san gets back tell him the still unproven fact about seaweed curing baldness and appear to be clueless about the soup." Haku gave a small playful smile to Genos her eyes sparkling with mischief, easing the heavy atmosphere. Then she turned serious and stone-faced once again. "And be as sympathetic as you could make it. Rub it in his face with all your 'no non-sense' glory."

Genos nodded solemnly over the stack of books on his hands, settling them down gently to not topple them, he had caught on what exactly the girl meant. Even though he does not want to disrespect his teacher by helping Haku tease him, but seeing her earlier expression made him decide otherwise.

Besides, Haku told him that he is family now. And from his own experience, jibing at each other is a natural occurrence amongst siblings. Genos does not want to disappoint Haku and neglect the natural standard of familial relations, besides he wonders if he aggravated the older man enough, Genos might get a clue why his teacher was acting a little hostile towards him lately. As they say, people blurt out what they feel when they are angered, perhaps he would get a real answer afterwards.

"Affirmative."

"Thanks Genos." The smile reappeared once again, this one much wider and further reaching her eyes. Genos knew that he made the right decision.

"Now that that's decided, time to sort all of my collection by alphabetical order, genre and author. Help me get these to our new library first."

Earlier that day, Saitama broke a wall that led to another cell downstairs in lieu of killing a mouse that's scampering around during their cleanup. It led to an argument – just Haku and Saitama really – until they've agreed to just use it to expand their space since the landlord, Ossan-san, is never gonna show up again according to his last 'goodbye'.

Well, good riddance. That man stares at her way too much for her liking and Saitama's ire.

This particular cell had three rooms instead of two, bigger than their own with bathrooms to boot. From Haku's memories, the landlord used to live on a separate building but after a week or so when the siblings showed up and rented one of the units, the old man suddenly moved in the floor below them, taking down three walls then deciding to live there.

Since then, at least twice a week, the old man would show up giving them groceries or leftovers of some kind, but most of the stuff he gives were mostly her favorite desserts and snacks or even a rare book. But everytime he shows up, he gets even creepier.

It unnerved her how his gaze reminded her of the men that kept her in the tube, probing, curious and certainly up to no good she, could tell that his intent was different but nonetheless it disturbed her.

She never bothered to enter his mind in fear of what she'll find.

Of course, Saitama noticed that particular tidbit and was always leery and cagey when their landlord shows up. The old man didn't really do anything other than stare, up until the whole town was declared too dangerous to live in and the creep moved out to live with his grandchildren in City K.

It never really occurred to her or Saitama to move out to somewhere bigger and more comfortable than their tiny apartment. Probably because she and Saitama were already content with what they already have.

So after the mess was all cleaned up, the three moved their belongings to the much bigger rooms. Haku's room was across from Genos while Saitama's was adjacent to hers, bigger and had more furniture in it, but a bit further down the hall. The whole place was dusty, understandable since it hadn't been cleaned for months but otherwise everything was intact.

The kitchen was bigger and had more space to move in so it was decided that it will become the main kitchen. Saitama's old room is now going to be the new storage room for all of Haku's and Genos's projects that have to do with advance science and technology while Haku's old space is going to be her storage space for all her wigs and costumes and other miscellaneous stuff. Their old kitchen was going to be the pantry, the bedrooms in Genos's cell as guest rooms, his living room is now slowly being turned into an indoor garden while their old living room is currently being turned into their new library since most of the books are already in there.

In a span of a few minutes, they managed to make a steel-enforced bookshelf, made from recycled store signs and creativity to save money.

What would happen to the kitchen in Genos's unit has yet to be decided and so is the issue of building some stairs to connect the old from the new. But for now, they can leave it as is since everyone from their household can jump and land on their feet with the ease and finesse of a feline.

Haku glanced towards Genos and seemingly noticing her gaze the blonde look up, the barest of smiles on his face. They stared at each other for a whole minute, Haku more from contemplation while Genos was simply curious of what the teen would say.

"Someday, I'll tell you Genos." She spoke evenly, voice serene with the underlying sadness and guilt. "Not now, but maybe later."

Genos has a clue that what the brunette said might have something to do with her mysterious past and her jadedness.

But for now, he would piece the pieces that he currently had and wait for the girl to tell it herself.

"I'll wait patiently for that day to come then; you don't have to hurry yourself."

She smiled once again, small, warm and soft. "Thanks Genos, I appreciate that."

Nonetheless, the events that happened next was on the side of dangerous on epic proportions.

The bright example of said epic proportions being the giant meteor about to land overhead at the Z City's proper. And Haku, at the moment, is watching its giant flaming rock self careening down the skyline with an impressive tail over the screen of the television at the maid café she's currently working at.

"Hey Haku, you live at Z City right?" Miss Nikita, her longtime manager asked worriedly, sharp liquid silver eyes looking at her over the counter, dark wavy hair bound on a messy bun.

"Yes." Her voice sounded faint even to her own ears, wide amber eyes still glued to the screen in slight horror.

Out of nowhere, a pair of hands took her shoulders and spun her to set eyes to a worried blonde woman. "Tell me that your brother or your new roommate is out of the city and not right there! Tell me they're not there!"

Haku licked her lips that were suddenly dry, cold sweat forming at the back of her neck, mind racing into different scenarios and freezing at the same time. She's not worried about her brother, not the least bit. Because heaven knows that he can probably outrun the meteor before it hits.

She's not worried for Genos either because just like her brother he could get away if needed be as he had showed before that he could accelerate his speed to superhuman lengths.

But then again, what if they're called out for hero work.

Genos more so than her Sai-nii being that he's a S class hero, there would be a close percentage that he would be called out even if the falling meteor scenario is on the scale of natural disaster and had nothing to do with monsters or mysterious beings. Haku dearly hopes that the management aren't a bunch of idiots to call an alert because otherwise she would be having words about their stupidity.

What she's really worried about is Saitama's tendency to punch things to submission while hoping for the best.

Knowing her brother, if he's currently bored out of his mind he would probably go out and punch something.

Well… fudge my life.

Haku's pale skin turned paler, the vision of her brother jumping out of nowhere and punching the meteor came to mind. Pieces of the once massive rock that might've caused a great tragedy falling away into different directions causing damage to different properties.

"Haku?" A hand touched her cheek, making her flinch away and taking her out of her thoughts.

"I have to go." She moved away from Zesta's hold. The blonde woman seemed to pale with her unspoken words, the bubbliness in her snuffing out.

Haku hurriedly removed the headdress from her hair, giving it to her stunned manager on the way to her exit but before she could get to the glass door a hand clamped on her arm.

"Miss, I don't think that's safe and even if you go, you wouldn't be able to make i―"

Haku gave the young man a chilling glare, eyes flaring red for a moment. "Let go." She commanded, but the grip on her wrist only got tighter, the other's blue eyes stared at her calmly, lips pulled in a frown.

"Miss, I wouldn't want you to get yourself―"

"I know what I'm getting myself into so let go if you know what's good for you." Haku said the last part with a hard squeeze on the elbow from the limb that's taking hold of her and the tanned man seemed to be surprised at the strength the teen held for someone so petite but otherwise, the rather handsome young man was unbothered.

Haku took note of his tall lean muscled physique, very much like that Garou guy from the convenience store. The man was tanned suited in a dark martial arts uniform with star shaped buttons at the front, his dark hair was long, held in a loose ponytail with the shorter tuffs spiking out on top of his head. He had the air of a confident fighter.

Troublesome.

But nothing she could take care of.

The dark long-haired man's free hand took hold of her small left shoulder. "Miss, please calm down and think about this clearly."

"Haku, please calm down I'm sure your brother had gotten away." Nikita interjected, silvery eyes worried and unsure.

"No, he's there. I know him. That guy wouldn't move unless money started raining from the sky."

Yep, that's a sure fire way to get the egghead up and running towards the greens falling from the sky. Sadly, that scenario has yet to happen otherwise the siblings would have been living the life of expensive tuna and premium meat.

"Please just,"

"No, I'm going." Without much preamble, Haku's hand that has been grasping the martial artist's elbow clammed tighter, the joints underneath groaning in protest causing the hands on her shoulder to loosen their grip, one from the sudden pain while the other from shock. And with a show of brute strength that belied her small stature, Haku hauled the man overhead and tossed him to one of the many sofas situated in the café for minimal damage.

She's trying to get away to prevent her brother from maximizing damage for punching a massive boulder that came from space and she's not about to cause property damage herself from a place she works at, thank you very much.

With the man out of the way and everyone awed, stunned, horrified or gaping with what they just witnessed, Haku booked it to the exit in a second, going into a shady alleyway and proceeded to teleport away from the horrified masses watching the news.

But from what she saw from the brief glance on the screen, she was already too late in preventing her brother from massive property damage.

Fuck my life.

As she had feared and suspected, the city was in shambles.

It looked every bit of a war had just passed, a massive battleground with all the people crying about the loss of their business, cars or whatever property that they own, burning trees and houses filled with flaming holes on them and the general public in mass chaos.

She counts the lack of burnt bodies, blood or gore as a win from the result of her brother's heroic deed of the day.

But for all Saitama saved these people they are all but grateful for what he did. Only focused at the aftermath of the event rather than what could have happened to them if Saitama hadn't stepped in to the picture. They are furious, Haku can tell that much with the feedback she is getting despite having a lid on her telepathic abilities, their thoughts are too loud because they're all under emotional distress, she can hear them, all jumbled up nasty whispers and curses.

All of it directed from the one who saved their lives.

All of that focused on her brother who just thought of doing the right thing.

It annoys her greatly.

But this isn't her concern for now. What Haku's concern about now is if their apartment was still standing in all this rubble.

She dearly hopes that that wasn't the case or else she would have to use her thing to fix all of it. Using her esper abilities always leave her hungry and craving for sweets and she's on her last leg in her stash.

Damn, she needs to buy more chocolates soon.

~3 days later~

So, this is what being furious feels like ha?

"You caused a tragedy and you still have the gall to call yourself a hero?!"

Haku clenched her fist to her shorts, inhaling deeply to keep her anger at bay.

Not that it's simple anger, it's more than that. How dare he?! She glared at the large muscular man who dared call himself a hero after saying those slanderous words towards her brother. He's all smug and justified arrogance. The 'little' brother on his side (Haku recalls him from a month ago) wasn't helping at all.

They both have very punchable faces, Haku concludes. How else would she explain the sudden urge for immediate violence rushing all over her body?

She felt like she was doused in icy cold water after being dipped in a pit of lava. Haku felt like combusting and it was a foreign feeling to her.

Her emotions have always been muddled one way or another, she doesn't like feeling too much, afraid to feel too much because it will end on a disaster of epic proportions. She once have felt the same surging anger when she was five, when a bunch older boys were messing with her brother. Haku doesn't remember much of the event but she does remember broken bodies and her brother's crying face while he held onto her, saying the word 'stop', 'please' and 'I'm okay now'.

Haku remembers not feeling anything for the people who've hurt her brother. But she did remember the look on Saitama's bloodied face, how she felt so horrible for making him cry.

(Even while being punched by the bullies Saitama didn't cry. It was all her and her monstrous self.)

"YOU SHOULD GIVE UP BEING A HERO!"

Haku snapped.

"Haa, what a great advice, don't you think so Nii-san?"

Saitama took one look at Haku's face before he closed his mouth and retreated, his skin slightly paler than usual. He recalls that look.

It was the same face she made while beating up those bullies ten years ago. Saitama could still remember how Haku's amber eyes had turned red, filled with contempt and apathy. Her empty smile as blood (not hers) streamed down her cherubic face, more unfeeling than her usual blank face.

He is by no means afraid of her even when he had witnessed her brutality first hand and the way she had annihilated the bullies without lifting a single dainty finger, no, Saitama fears for his sister, fears that her fears and nightmares would come true. Fears that she wouldn't be herself anymore.

Saitama doesn't want to see the same devastated look she gave when he had come to herself that day. Hated that she had called herself a monster with such tired eyes and too knowing smile.

It was the day he had promised himself to protect her precious smile and happiness, to become someone so strong that she wouldn't have to protect him and herself from any harm.

To become a hero.

-I know Haku that you're angry but please, don't—-

-Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't let my… emotions get the best of me.-

"Ha! Even your sister agrees!" Tanktop Asshole's grin stretched wider.

"Of course I do." Her amber eyes were all wide and innocent, head slightly tilted to the side and a small harmless smile on her lips. "You and Mr. Tank Top Cider over there should take that advice, I think it would be the best for both of you."

"It's Tank Top Tiger!"

"Ha! If anyone should be quitting that would be your brother! Don't you know what he did to this city?!" Mr. Tank Top Asshole swept his hands over the rubble, people all around nodding their heads like the sheep that they were.

"Yeah!" The crowd chorused.

She stuck a pinky in her ear. "You sure talk loud Tank Top Asshole-san." She stared right at his eyes letting hers flashed what she knew was an eerie red, that instantly shut the man up with a shudder.

"And yes I know what he did to this city." Haku flippantly gestured to the crowd. "He saved it."

The people was quick to disagree.

"He ruined my shop!"

"That baldy should be arrested!"

"He ruined my garden!"

"He did no saving, he ruined my new car!" The man who yelled this threw a wrench right at Saitama but because of the shoddy aim it went sailing towards Haku's head. She caught it before it could make contact.

Haku sighed through her nose.

Saitama just stared in incredulity at the people around him, fed up with all their yapping.

The Tank Top duo just grinned smugly.

"Enough." The word was spoken softly but firmly carrying through all the commotion. It was a command that compelled everyone to shut their traps immediately. But maybe that's because she threw the wrench to the ground so hard that it left a mini crater.

"Good, now let me educate you people how Nii-san saved all of you." She gave a challenging look at the two muscular men.

The one in black scoffed at her. "Do tell."

The teen ignored him. "Point is, you all wouldn't be here herding and yapping like the good sheep that you are if it weren't for him. Think about it clearly and use your remaining sheep-like brain cells that that," She pointed at the piece of meteorite that struck through the roof of a car. "Was whole and as big as one commercial building. If that whole thing crashed, then there wouldn't be a city standing right now hell, there wouldn't be a state standing right now."

The crowd started murmuring amongst themselves.

"Ha-Haku-sama is right!" A highschool girl went up front, clutching her schoolbag. Haku remembers her as one of the founders of her fanclub. "In our science class, we were told that there was once a giant meteor that crashed into the earth and that caused the dinosaurs to die and the whole earth's climate to change. What Haku-sama's brother did was all sorts of incredible!"

Before the sheeple could go wild once again, Haku cleared her throat. "What Ryusei-chan said is right." The short haired girl blushed at the compliment.

She narrowed her eyes at the two men who now looked taken aback with the simple use of common sense that she implemented in the situation. They really are all brawn but no brains. "What my brother did is nothing short of a miracle to a normal human. He slowed down what could have been a devastating impact by disrupting its momentum, with a single punch mind you, the meteorites might have been scattered and caused a lot of property damage to the city but think about it."

She eyed the crowd to give a decisive blow to stomp down logic into their thick skulls. "What's more important, your material things that could be replaced or your lives? My brother saved all of you in what he thought as doing the right thing yet," Haku allowed tears to prick at her eyes and her voice to shake, people are always agreeable when someone is crying and showing vulnerability.

"YOU REPAY HIS HEROISM BY TURNING ON HIM?! HOW DARE YOU?!" She screamed as her voice broke, Saitama was immediately by her side, grabbing her in a comforting hug.

Haku extracted herself after a moment, facing the tank toppers. "And you two! Where were you when the meteor was about to strike?! Where were you when everyone was cowering in fear?! Aren't you both in the same crowd that time? Cowering in fear and waiting for your deaths!" She wasn't finished yet, she's just boiling inside. Haku hopes that she would be able to regain her calm once she's done letting off steam.

"My brother deserves every right to have his rank raised after what he did for everyone, for doing something to save everyone." Haku walked calmly towards them, tears pricking at her wide amber eyes. "You both don't have the right to talk crap about my brother when you were all but seating on your asses when the people needed you most. You both don't have the right to call him out and give up being a hero when you both did nothing when everyone needed heroes!" She let the tears to finally fall and the ground slightly tremored for a few seconds that caused a slight panicked to the people and for the muscular duo to stumble on their ass.

Saitama hugged her again, wiping away her tears carefully, Haku crying is a very rare occurrence and when it does it doesn't fail to make him feel like shit. "Shhh… Don't cry Haku, its alright. Nii-san doesn't mind being shouted by these people. What matters most is yours."

People are starting to feel ashamed by their action, seeing the teen cry in 'his' brother's arms as the man comforted him. How could they be so blinded by their rage and blame the man who saved them all? Now because of it, they caused grief towards the younger sibling.

"B-but it's not fair! What would have happened if you died because of punching that meteor?!"

"Oi, Oi I'm not dead Haku! See I'm alive and healthy. Your brother is way stronger than a falling rock from the sky!"

Haku furiously rubbed at her eyes then proceeded to shake her brother back and forth. "Yeah I know that, but what if you did die?! Are they still gonna blame you for that? What would happen to me and Genos? Who's gonna keep leaving crumbs on the floor? Who's gonna go stupidly overprotective over me? Wh-Who's gonna wake me up and save me from my nightmares?" She said the last one quietly but everyone still managed to hear it all, not that it has to do with a slight sound manipulation or anything.

With every word that she spoke, Haku could feel the guilt heavy on the atmosphere. The breakdown earlier was real and so what if she's slightly milking it? These people needs their common sense ironed out for them.

"You might not care what everybody says about you, but I care. You're my brother and I love you very much, it hurts me when people talk crap about you and it hurts me more because you're being called a crappy undeserving hero."

Now to give the final blow. "You might be a crappy hero by these easily swayed sheeple, but always remember that no matter what, you've always been my hero and I'll always be rooting for you as your number zero fan."

Haku was surprised when her brother suddenly burst into tears making her panic slightly. "W-Why number zero?" He said with a sniff.

"Because zero comes first before one." Haku let him bury his face to her neck as she gave a gentle smile over his shoulder.

The moment was broken by a nervous incredulous laughter. "Hahaha! You're just gonna believe this bra—"

BAM!

"CAN'T YOU SEE THAT HAKU-SAMA IS ALREADY CRYING YOU BRUTE!" Ryusei said furiously with tears streaming down her face, a rubble at the ready from her hand.

Haku hid a smirk.

"YEAH! LEAVE HAKU-SAMA ALONE!" Members of the Kohaku Fanclub who are currently present in the crowd joined in raising their own projectiles and started throwing them at the two muscular men who were harassing their idol.

Surprisingly, their aim is all on point.

"W-Wait! Can't you see that he's only using his—"

"Shut up young man! I knew those two from way before. That man is as heroic as his sibling imply!" An old woman shouted and from what Haku remembers was the woman who used to live across their apartment, Seira-san. She was one of their neighbors who give them food when she had excess. And most of the time, Haku and Saitama ran errands for her.

Soon enough, everyone started booing and throwing stuff at the two retreating muscular men, hightailing it out of the angry mob who were chasing them.

.

"Wanna have some ice cream?"

Haku gave the smallest of smiles but it was genuine as tiny as it was.

"You're paying."

"Tch. As stingy as ever are you?"

The two left without anyone noticing, courtesy to instantly teleporting away before any of the mob decided that they would love to talk to them and apologize for their transgression.

Later at dinner, Haku cooked all of Saitama's and Genos's favorite food as a celebration for their new hero ranks. Saitama shot up from the last of class B to the tenth rank and Genos moving up one rank. They invited the old man who was apparently the rank two S class hero with them when the old geezer greeted them at the café and congratulated Haku for handling the situation from earlier and then congratulated Saitama with his new ranking.

The next day, they were visited by a beautiful woman dressed in black, asking, no, offering Saitama to work for her.

Haku just hopes that she wouldn't get anymore headaches soon.

A/N: See ya next chap and stay safe people!
