King was not expecting the monster party that Saitama brought with him. Even more was the stunning girl that clung to his side. At the way the monsters were, though, he found himself kept calm through the whole thing. After several minutes of settling in and selecting a game, Saitama was soon seated on the ground with Mitsumi pressed into his side to watch. King was on a floor cushion and soon selecting his character to fight with.

"So...can I get...um...introductions? And, eh...some back story?" King asked. His shoulder-length, straight blond hair was brushed back, and he focused his blue eyes on starting up the game. The three slash scars on the left side of his face didn't hamper his vision at all.

Zenchu nodded and relayed the entire story while the fighting game commenced. When Saitama started to swear on getting owned hard, Mitsumi started laughing like crazy. Kianna and Rendor found themselves snickering at all of it. They found it just as humorous.

"It's not funny!" Saitama scowled.

"It's hilarious! He's beating you up with a woman character! That's amazing!" she laughed. Saitama growled and heard something crack in his hands. Then the error appeared on the screen that the controller was not found.

"Saitama! That's another controller you broke!" King sighed and plugged in another one that he had waiting nearby. "I swear, I buy more controllers than anything now because of you!"

"So...have you ever won?" Zenchu had to ask Saitama.

"If I let him...maybe..." King grinned.

"Shut up!" Saitama snapped and growled when he got beaten again.

"Do you want me to do this one handed?" King asked.

"Stop it! No!" Saitama said. When he lost again, he tossed the controller down and sighed. "Damn it! Eh...well...maybe it's time to go home. I need to wash this suit..."

"I could wash it for you," Mitsumi smiled.

"Um...it's okay. I can do it," Saitama said.

"So...when's the wedding?" Zenchu asked. Kianna barked out laughter with Rendor now at Saitama's gaping glare at him. Even Mitsumi was blushing intensely hard at it. "What? When a girl offers to do laundry for a guy, it's only obvious that it's going to happen."

"You...shut...up...!" Saitama managed to voice out. King had a thoughtful look on his face and started to sort through some games.

"Maybe you need a dating simulator?" King asked.

"No! I don't!" Saitama said sternly. There was a knock on the window, and Rendor opened it lightly to let a floating blue bubble come in and pop on the ground. A basket with various foods was there with a note to enjoy dinner from Orotsu. Now this was shared around and enjoyed eagerly.

"That's the first time I had food delivered by window! That's...pretty cool," King said and ate an octopus takoyaki ball.

"That would make for an interesting form of delivery," Mitsumi smiled and ate some sushi. She was actually mildly sharing her dish with Saitama from him getting the same dish as her. "But it may be taxing on Inichi after a while. He's the one that delivered this to us."

"Oh. Another monster?" King asked.

"A very powerful one with telepathic and empathic abilities," Zenchu nodded and munched on some mochi bean balls.

"He is one you don't want to upset," Kianna said and chewed on some fried beef strips. Even Rendor could only nod and enjoy a similar dish. After they ate and were able to calm down, King finally looked at Mitsumi.

"So...that bracelet is a monster?" he asked.

"Yes. It bites me at sunrise and at sunset to change me. It's starting to really affect my mind in old age. I don't know what else to do," she frowned. "I'm just glad that I can have my friends remember their past humanity. It helps them cope. If they didn't have that, they'd likely be dead by now."

"They would be," King sighed and nodded. The sound of a phone went off, and King frowned at it. He found himself answering it. "King here. Hmm? I see. I'm in a battle right now, though. Yeah. I'm sure another hero can help. Right. Bye. I don't want to go out in the middle of the night and fight some beast man! I shouldn't even be a hero..."

"Where was it?" Saitama asked.

"Oh...somewhere in City B. I think. Why? Oh! That's right. Mitsumi could help, huh? Well...I honestly don't know. If you keep doing this to monsters, eventually the heroes will want to know what's up. They'll still hunt you all down. Are you sure?" King asked.

"You should come with us to see how it goes," Zenchu said. "Saitama will ensure you don't get killed. Neither will we. As you are an S class hero, your word to vouch for us can protect us that much more."

"We have four hours of the night left. Maybe after this, we can go back home," Mitsumi nodded. "I want Saitama to get more rest."

"If you say so," Rendor nodded.

"Eh...I'll be fine...but..." Saitama started and paused when she put a finger to his lips to silence him.

"Trust me. Please?" she smiled. He sighed and gently brushed her hand away. King got up and called back the number that dialed him.

"I am heading there. I have found time. Where is the location? Good. Send it. Thanks. I'll be there soon," King said and hung up. He paused at Inichi's floating form outside the window.

"Worry not! I am here to help. I can fly you all there quickly," Inichi said. "Ah, King! Good to meet you. If you need me, just think of my name. It is Inichi. I shall help you where I can."

"Um...okay...thanks..." King blinked at this. It took only ten minutes by flight to get to their destined location from what the map on King's phone showed. They were gently set down in front of a back alley. King was not happy. "Do I have to be here?"

"To see what happens, yeah," Saitama nodded. "I'm here, so you're fine. Just relax."

"Right..." King sighed and watched Rendor move ahead of them.

"I have natural night vision. Kianna also does, but mine is a bit more refined. Zenchu can traverse shadows, but he only does so in extreme circumstances. Just follow me," Rendor grounded out before trudging forward.

"You can walk in shadows?" Saitama blinked at Zenchu.

"Eh...yeah. It kept me out of trouble. And keeps others out of trouble," Zenchu shrugged. "Hmm...up ahead. I hear it."

"Same," Kianna hissed out. "Hopefully it will become kind. We will have to see. If not, then we will have to kill it."

"Agreed," Mitsumi nodded and followed them to an opened area in the center of a group of buildings. It was much like a small outdoor retreat for neighboring apartments. The monster in question was rooting through the trash. It resembled a massive tusked mountain goat with clawed hands and hooved feet. The curled horns were large, heavy and split with a row of spikes to show it could impale in multiple ways if it charged. It was like Tsuruga's build, but it was based on a mountain goat's body. The monster squealed out a growl and turned swiftly to reveal a mane of spiked hair going from the top of its head and down its muscular back.

"And who are you?" Zenchu asked and revealed himself as a monster.

"Ah! Comrades! Come! Let us join forces and crush the humans!" the monster brayed. "I am Binitzu! Let's show them all!"

"No," Zenchu said and crossed his arms over his chest. "That's a waste of time. And energy. Did I say it was a waste of time? Yeah. I did."

"Pathetic..." Rendor snorted.

"A shame," Kianna sighed.

"You are not true monsters!" Binitzu shouted.

"They are, but they don't want to hurt anyone," Mitsumi said and stepped forward. Saitama moved with her slightly to ensure nothing would happen. "Can you tell me how you changed?"

:Mr. Saitama! Two A class heroes are here! Golden Ball and another...ah! Spring Mustachio! They are only listening, though...: Inichi warned softly.

:Okay. Just nudge me if they get too close.: Saitama nodded.

:That's why I'm nudging...: Inichi sighed. Now Saitama's eyes narrowed.

"Crap! Zenchu, we've got company..." Saitama muttered.

"I know. Inichi told me. I know where they are. At night, my senses are...heightened. I'll know when to pull us away," Zenchu nodded. Then the bald man got a rather intricate idea and looked at King.

"King, I need you to turn and give a badass look down the alleyway," Saitama said with a small grin. King looked down at him, nodded and turned to glare with his arms crossed over his chest. That got surprised gasps of shock and a bit of pause.

"Nice. That may buy us some time," Zenchu smirked.

"Don't you regret what you've become?" Mitsumi asked softly.

"Never! I planned this! To become stronger than everyone!" Binitzu brayed out with joy.

"Even at the cost of your family?" she asked.

"My...they never cared, anyways! They cast me out! So I got myself to be stronger and better than them!" the monster snorted.

"Are you sure?" she asked and held up the silken flower. The monster looked at it and simply laughed.

"What's that going to do?" it snorted.

"Yeah. This was a waste of time. Let's go," Zenchu nodded.

"What?" Binitzu blinked.

"Complete waste. So sad," Mitsumi sighed and put away the flower. "Yes, let's go home."

"Whatever," Saitama said and stretched with a heavy yawn. He looked over and smiled softly at Mitsumi before letting her hug him close.

"Wait a minute! I wasn't done with you all!" the monster scowled.

"Well, we're done with you. Inichi? Shall we?" Zenchu asked out loud.

"But...well...I'll tear down this building!" Binitzu howled. "And I'll start by charging into all of you!"

"Okay...fine..." Saitama sighed and looked at King. "Make a move like you're punching, okay? Put on a show."

"Right," King nodded and braced himself.

"Consecutive punches set 3," Saitama said and used his left fist to punch the charging goat monster down while holding Mitsumi with his right arm. Zenchu was just stunned that he didn't even need both fists. The monster was now crushed through two buildings and skidded down a street in a dead heap.

"You do not take the credit?" Mitsumi frowned as Inichi formed the bubble around the small group.

"Nah. I don't need it. As long as I don't have a quota, I'm fine," Saitama shrugged. "It's easier this way."

"Quota?" she blinked.

"Eh...Genos can tell you about it later," he shrugged again and let himself get lifted away. The two A class heroes left behind were just stunned at what they witnessed. They didn't know what to think of it.

"Did King...punch...?" Golden Ball blinked.

"I...didn't get a good look, but..." the man resembling a magician with a barbell mustache and wearing a top hat frowned.

"Wait. No! He didn't! He was ready to, but that bald guy did the punch before King had a chance to! Did that caped guy really...?!" Golden Ball found himself in shock.

"And that group looked like the ones at the restaurant that we are to keep a close eye on, too. But...I never saw that girl before. The one asking the questions. And then to be spirited away like that? All of them? I have to wonder now..." the man in the top hat pondered.

"Should we report this, Spring Mustachio?" Golden Ball asked.

"I mean...we should. We need more details on this," Spring Mustachio nodded. "Let's ensure the threat is gone. Then we'll report in."

"Right," Golden Ball nodded to start leading them through the wreckage for investigation. Inichi was highly aware from all of it, though. He was silently informing Zenchu and Saitama of what was happening.

"I guess this means I'll be hanging out a bit more," Saitama said and yawned again. "I'm fine with it. Most of the time, I'm just lounging around and waiting for something to do."

"I need you all to visit the restaurant. I will take King back home after. Then I shall return for you," Inichi said.

"That's fine. Something wrong there?" Zenchu frowned.

"There...may be," Inichi sighed.

"You know, this may be how I can slowly start taking over as myself and not my older self. I can say I am always busy during the day with schooling on restaurant conduct," Mitsumi smiled softly at the thought.

"That can work," Rendor chuckled.

"True. The older side does plan to retire..." Kianna mused.

"You know, I think I need to stay until I know the place is good, too," King nodded. "That meal was the best I've ever had! I don't want to lose that at all. So, I'll play grunt man."

"That works," Saitama nodded.

"Drop us off a little ways away so we can walk up," Mitsumi suggested. That was done to allow them to turn around a corner to walk up to the restaurant. Saitama kept his arm firmly around her slender waist in the kimono. When they walked in, it was to a scene of Satoru getting in the way of Speed-o'-Sound Sonic. Genos was doing his best to keep the damage to a minimum, but it wasn't helping.

"You had better make him come out here!" Sonic snarled. "I'll bust this place up if you don't!"

"Why?" Saitama asked with his usual blank stare. Now the man turned and paused at the sight of Mitsumi on his arm.

"How dare you try to damage my restaurant!" she seethed. "We have done nothing to you! You modern vagrant!"

"A vagrant?! Me?!" Sonic gaped.

"Ah...look at what you're doing. You are acting like a teenager with anxiety issues," Zenchu sighed. "Lucky for you, we won't attack you. But that doesn't mean that Saitama won't."

"If you want to fight...again..." Saitama said with a roll of his eyes and a heavy sigh. "Step outside. Not in here."

"Oh, really?" Sonic snickered and got ready to kick down a table. Then he shrieked when he was encased in a blue bubble and couldn't move.

"Thank you, Inichi. Yes. Outside," Saitama rolled his eyes again. "Genos, how much damage was here?"

"Two chairs, four plates and six drinking glasses were destroyed, Master," Genos said while sweeping up the damage. "It could have been worse."

"That it could have," Kianna nodded. "Thank you. And you, ah...oh! Mumen Rider. Are you well?"

"He...got me pretty good...but...I'll be okay..." the poor man gasped and was quickly helped to a seat by her. "Thanks."

"Get him something for the pain. Saitama, just...do what you need to do with the vandal," Mitsumi sniffed. Saitama knew she was playing an act. She had to act like the new owner coming around. Of course, she would be upset at any damages done...

"Yeah, yeah. I'll be right back," Saitama mumbled, but he gave her a small squeeze to show he meant it. King moved to sit down and got served a drink while waiting. When Satoru looked over and saw him, he gaped and pointed.

"Hey," King nodded and drank down his soda. "Not bad!"

"I never...thought I'd...meet..." Satoru grimaced.

"Hmm? Oh. Nice to meet you," King nodded again and went back to his drink. Outside, they heard a man scream in pain. Then Saitama walked in and shoved his cape back over his shoulder.

"He really needs to stop it. I might kill him one day," Saitama frowned and sat down. "He tries way too hard."

"Why does he go after you?" Mitsumi frowned and moved to sit next to him.

"He says I know all his moves. Personally...I don't," he shrugged. "I told him before that I didn't want to be his enemy. So...I just tell him to train hard. Maybe, one day, he'll get his lucky break. Right now, though? Eh..."

"Such a shame," she sighed and found her chair getting pulled closer to him to get hugged. "So...this was not a date?"

"No," he smirked.

"Watching you punch something is fun, though," she mused.

"Hmm. Well...maybe..." Saitama mused.

"So...who are you?" Satoru asked Mitsumi.

"Oh. You could have seen me as an older woman earlier. I'm young now. This is how I'm supposed to be," Mitsumi smiled softly.

"Wait...you're the old woman?!" Satoru gaped. "You're gorgeous!"

"Oh! Um...thanks?" she seemed to shrug. Zenchu noticed how Saitama seemed to glance over with irritation and pull Mitsumi even closer to him.

"Hmm...if others look at you like that...maybe it would be good to leave town..." Saitama mused lightly. "I don't think I like the idea of others looking at you like that..."

"You could help us find a place of refuge away from everyone. Clear the land out," Kianna thought aloud. "This way we would have space to build."

"I could, huh?" Saitama rolled the idea around in his head.

"Master?" Genos asked and unboxed some spare dishware to replace.

"I dunno. I'm thinking about early retirement," Saitama admitted.

"You cannot!" Genos said quickly. "We need your strength here!"

"But why? Most of the real threats are gone, right?" Saitama frowned.

"Well...new things always tend to come around," Zenchu chuckled.

"True..." Saitama sighed and adjusted himself to let Mitsumi snuggle into him. "It's weird. I've only known you for a day. And I just...don't want to let you go...why...?"

"I don't know, either. Should we pull apart?" Mitsumi asked.

"No," he said sternly to get her giggling.

"Kianna, let's get them hitched up when that bracelet is gone," Zenchu said.

"Oh! Yes, we should do that!" Kianna grinned.

"What?!" Saitama blinked. Mitsumi started to blush hard again.

"Hmm...a wedding in the middle of the city?" Rendor asked.

"Shut up!" Saitama scowled.

"I didn't know you were getting married to her! Congratulations!" Satoru beamed at him. That got Saitama's jaw to drop. Mitsumi started to bust out into sharp peals of laughter at it all.

"I can look for reservations to the best hotels in the entire area of the city structures," Genos said and started to search for any online information. "Oh! You will need a ring to properly propose with, won't you? I will see what is affordable for that purpose."

"Stop it! I am not getting married! I am not on a date! I just like her! I just met her! Geez! Come on!" Saitama said in an exasperated way.

"Only like, Saitama?" Mitsumi frowned. "With how you haven't let me go since I appeared to you after becoming young again?"

"Ah...err..." he grimaced and had to reign himself in.

"Hmm. I'd say he should play a video game with me, but he'll just break my controllers," King said in a soft mutter.

"We'll definitely need white flowers," Zenchu muttered aloud.

"I will spar you," Saitama now said with a glare at the monster.

"No. I'm scared shitless of you," Zenchu said with wise knowing. "You may be one of the only ones able to kick my ass. No thank you."

"You know, I am curious if you can detect Zenchu when he is blended in with the shadows. Normally no one can even sense him," Mitsumi said thoughtfully. Now Saitama thought about it and glanced at him.

"Turn off the lights," Saitama smirked.

"What? No," Zenchu said.

"Do it," Saitama said with a small glower.

"No!" Zenchu scowled and now moved to stand up. "We need to head back, anyways. Dawn is approaching."

"Not until we try this," Saitama said. "And I want you to attack me."

"What?! Well...not here. Fine. Apartment complex," Zenchu sighed. "And this does not count as a true attack for anyone watching! It is an experimental spar!"

"Agreed!" Rendor nodded with the others.

"I likely won't feel a thing," Saitama shrugged and pulled Mitsumi against him when he rose up.

"The cameras are working. I will monitor this place constantly," Genos nodded. "Mumen Rider, do you plan to head out?"

"Yeah. I'll be here tomorrow to see to anyone that wants to help build. Around 10:00 in the morning as we agreed," Satoru nodded. He was about to leave, but Genos stopped him. "Not yet? You don't want me to leave?"

"No. Not yet, please," Genos said.

"Okay. I'm going to walk up ahead. We'll see if Saitama can sense me," Zenchu said. He was actually a touch nervous.

"Fine," Saitama nodded. Zenchu sped off and seemed to vanish into the shadows around him.

"This will be interesting," Kianna chuckled.

"Mumen Rider, I wish to escort them back to the apartment first to ensure nothing goes wrong with this. I need to ensure that all is well. Then I shall return to get them installed. For now, you can start sorting the rest of the cameras and the wires out. I have them working, but they do need to be placed in proper areas. When Miss Mitsumi changes, it should be good for me to come back here to finish the installations. Ah, they planned to go somewhere else, so it may be best for me to join them. Have the cameras ready for me to install so I can get to work on them the moment I return," Genos mildly instructed. Mumen Rider fully agreed and got to work.

"I'm actually curious," Rendor grinned. Mitsumi smiled and let Saitama continue to hug her close.

"I'd better get home, too," King said and rose up tall. "Ah...how do I get home? I didn't ride my bike here..."

"Allow me!" Inichi said while hovering over them. King waved at them all and Inichi was quick to focus to speed King back to his apartment. Once the hero was safely home, he nodded to the group that he was ready to continue with them.

"Let's see if I get spooked..." Saitama mumbled and yawned. Mitsumi just smiled and let him continue to walk her to the apartment complex.
