It was just after sunrise when activity started to happen through the mansion. Saitama was gently roused awake by Mitsumi's tickling fingers up his chest. He opened an eye and looked at her with a small grin. "Awake already, love?"

"Yes. And you still haven't worn your zipper necklace for me," she sighed.

"I know…" he grunted and stretched himself out before blinking at how she jumped onto him. He grabbed at her hips gently and chuckled. "I definitely don't mind waking up to this, either!"

"Good! We'll take a shower after this," she grinned back.

"A shower? Been some time since I had a good shower. I'll still take the bath, but…yeah. A shower would work," he mused. It was ten minutes later when they managed to move from the bedside. She set the water easily, and he went through the racks of various expensive soaps. She picked out a couple for her hair and chose the best liquid soaps for their skin.

"Massage this in after my hair is scrubbed," she smiled and let him work his hands through her hair easily. It took five minutes to fully work with her hair, but he loved how soft it felt when everything was rinsed out. She gave him body soap that was made for men with a robust musk, and she used a soap that was made to soften and perfume her skin beautifully with a scent of vanilla honey.

"I want these soaps at home," he said on enjoying the scents he got from them. She chuckled and gave Inichi the gentle order to acquire them. "And your skin…is amazingly soft now…"

"Isn't it?" she chuckled and gasped when he began to nibble along her collar bone. He saw the shower bench and was quick to use it with her. With them finishing up in their shower, Orotsu was busy directing the kitchen for the morning breakfast meals. The dining room table was busy being set up, and the kitchen staff was in a complete flurry of movement. Even Suiryu was there to quickly restock in areas that needed it. But there was one person missing, and Anno was getting very anxious over it.

"Where is Takeda?" Anno asked while whisking up a large bowl of eggs.

"I am unsure," Orotsu said while he worked multiple pans. He did the next best thing. :Inichi, Anno is asking for Takeda. Do you know where she is?:

:Oh? Ah. I can see why he is concerned. I shall…oh, dear…I had best get to her now. And I am requesting for Zenchu to assist.:

:That bad?: Orotsu said with a form of concern now.

:Yes.: Inichi sighed and was quick to move to the third floor.

"We saw Mr. Anno escort you to your room last night," a haughty serving girl said. "You know how we can see others without opening our doors."

"I know. I was helping him in the kitchen," Takeda shrugged. "He wanted to make sure I got back to my room."

"He never did that for any of us," another girl frowned.

"He was showing appreciation to me for my hard work," Takeda said.

"Yeah. He was," Zenchu said when he suddenly appeared to make the girls squeak and back away. "This attitude from all of you is disgusting. You all say that I'm the monster here? Look in a mirror!"

"Miss Takeda was assisting Mr. Anno in the kitchens well into the night. There was a last-minute order that she assisted with. He was grateful for her help," Inichi said when he appeared after a quick flight from the elevator. "Even so, I may as well let you all know. You may have a spying system set for Mr. Anno, but it will be dissolved as of now. He is no longer single. Lady Mitsumi wants Mr. Anno to be with Miss Takeda. So, now you all know. And Mr. Anno will report whoever dares to hurt her directly to Mr. Saitama. He approves of this, too, and he will not hesitate to slap and remove such offenders from this mansion."

"Takeda, come on. You're needed in the kitchen," Zenchu said and flicked his tail. He made sure she stood behind him now, but he made no move to leave just yet. "And I do want to know how your little 'spying system' works. Because as of today, it goes down."

"You…can't know…" a girl said. Inichi studied her and chuckled.

"You just told me with your own thoughts. So…you hacked into the camera systems? And the video goes to the television in your room here? Interesting," Inichi mused and thought to Metal Knight. The hack was easily found and now dismantled. "You are working around S class heroes now. Unfortunately, I need to bring you before Lady Mitsumi and Mr. Saitama for this. It may also be how you knew whenever Lady Mitsumi came up to this floor. And how 'conveniently' you were able to approach her. Hmm?"

"Ah…!" the girl grimaced.

"And you thought you could utilize this in other ways?" Inichi frowned hard and shook his head. "Metal Knight, himself, shall keep a heavy lockdown on the network. I'm only guessing you gained access after the security personnel were removed. Lightning Max is already fixing all the damage. And you…trained under the security personnel?"

"I…well…" the girl fidgeted.

"I recall your resume for hire. You stated nothing about technical background. You could use these skills for the better. I shall see if Lady Mitsumi can assign you to be part of the security team here instead of being a less than valued cleaning maid," Inichi mused. Now the other girls gasped at this with jealousy at her. "Please disperse now and see to your daily duties."

"Takeda!" Anno said when he strode over from the elevators. She turned and her jaw dropped from how he pulled her into his arms. "Master Orotsu told me to find you. What happened? Why weren't you down there?"

"She was being detained," Inichi said and gestured to the guilty girls. Anno narrowed his eyes at this and shook his head. "Also, I went ahead and told them that you both are now considered a couple as per the orders of Lady Mitsumi and Mr. Saitama. They know better if they plan to intervene again."

"What is going on?" Mitsumi asked when she appeared with Saitama in their Wind Crane Clan finery. He was carrying her in his arms, and he was not happy that he was called over with her. All of her fans were floating around her and swirled protectively around Anno and Takeda. Her hair was also hastily put up, and she knew Kianna would likely fix it later. "Hmm. My fans were definitely telling me that something was wrong and led me here. Something is amiss now?"

"It has been taken care of, Lady Mitsumi," Inichi said with a nod of respect.

"Hmm…" Saitama frowned and turned his head to a closed door. His ultra-keen hearing picked up on something that started to piss him off. On testing the door, he found it locked. "Who is staying in there? Because if no one fesses up, I'm breaking open the door."

"Oh…" a girl cringed.

"None of these doors were locked when we investigated the rooms before anyone got here. Someone claimed this room. I'm counting up to ten before I pull the door open by the hinges," Saitama said. "Something shifted in there that didn't sound normal. Yeah. I can hear crazy things like that. So, fess up. Now."

"Nah. Let me get in," Zenchu said. Saitama rose a brow, but Mitsumi nodded at this offer.

"But…I wanna break something…" Saitama pouted.

"I don't want Tacki to do much in repairs. Inichi just told me she was starting to crave things last night. It's why Anno had to stay up late to help with her pregnancy needs," Mitsumi smiled. Now the other girls gasped at this and felt a bit ashamed at this news. Mitsumi looked at them and said, "Yes. Tacki is the fiancée to Kamikaze. He's known as Atomic Samurai. She's having twins from him and can get quite moody now and then. She is also the one that repaired more than half of the damage in this mansion. As well as fixed up your uniforms."

"I guess you can open the door," Saitama rolled his eyes at Zenchu.

"Thanks," Zenchu said and shadow phased into the room. The door was now opened, and Saitama strode in with Mitsumi in his arms. Her fans now swirled through the room and seemed to point towards a wall. She was set down to stand with Saitama now, and she was alarmed at what her fans were telling her.

"This room is connected to the other rooms, though! Isn't it?" Mitsumi frowned. "I know we went through every room…"

"There's a false wall in there," Takeda said.

"You vowed not to…say…" a girl blinked.

"Secrets in my own home now?!" Mitsumi asked with a bit of surprise. "There are to be no more secrets. I need to know everything."

"As do I," Saitama nodded. "I'm hungry. And now I'm pissed. Apparently, I heard a wall suddenly close. Weird. Anyways, who lives in this room? Who was keeping this secret? Talk. Now."

"One of the maintenance staff," Takeda said.

"What is your name, please?" Mitsumi asked her.

"It's Takeda. Takeda Mika, that is," she said softly.

"Hmm. Takeda, I'm going to request for you to leave this mansion with me after today and come to my home in City Z. After what is transpiring, I am looking out for your safety," Mitsumi nodded. "I can use your help there, too."

"Please," Anno nodded with complete agreement. "I'd appreciate it."

"Also, Anno, I no longer wish for you to have a room on this floor for your own safety. Choose a guest room on the upper fifth floor. It is heavily monitored, and this floor will soon have the same monitoring done. You can choose any room you like just from your status alone on being Orotsu's sous chef and disciple. If you need help moving, please have Inichi assist. However, if I find anymore conspiracies of others in my home, even if they are not against me, I won't tolerate it. I'm done with it.

"So, as I am now concerned for the safety of Takeda from how she was neatly ganged up on, I will have her travel with my family from this point forward. And, should it get to be too much for Anno, I will extend the invitation to him, too, and hire another chef to work here. This is childish nonsense now!" Mitsumi frowned hard and shook her head from all of it.

"We can also use her help in Neutral Grounds," Saitama said.

"Very true, Saitama. Also, Takeda, because you will be working directly for me, I am going to boost your pay to match what Anno is currently making. This means you will be on salary," Mitsumi winked. "Consider that as my way of thanking you in advance."

"What?!" Takeda gaped. Anno now whispered softly to her of what he was currently making before hugging her shaking form close. She was in shock at all of this. So much money! Amazing!

"If the two of them last a week, they should get married. Possibly," Zenchu chuckled. That had Mitsumi smiling at the thought. Anno looked over with a bit of surprise at this and found himself chuckling softly.

" A week may be too soon. We'll discuss it at our leisure," Anno smiled.

"Now to see what the hell is up with what I heard in this room," Saitama muttered and saw how the fans had already sliced down to show where the wall seam was. Zenchu was the one that helped pry the wallpaper back to fully reveal a steel doorway. It slid back into the other wall neatly when a particular panel was pressed. It further revealed a very narrow room between the rooms, and it was just enough space for one to crouch or stand. At the sight of a small plate on hinges at around eye-level, it was opened to reveal a bit of a two-way mirror to see others from in the next room.

"Who's in the room on the other side? And it looks like…spyholes?! From the same mirror structure in the laboratory? Would servants truly spy on each other this way?! How many rooms have this hiding in them?!" Mitsumi said with complete disgust. "I cannot allow this! It all must be torn out!"

"There has to be something more that we're missing," Zenchu frowned. "But who can pick up on slight…ah! Inichi, can you get Richoo?"

"I see where you're going with this. I can," Inichi said and gently focused to bring the monster up to speed that he was needed. Five minutes later had the pink blob monster walking over. He was able to form himself into more of what he used to look like, but he was able to give himself more of a muscular physique.

"What do you need, Lady Mitsumi?" Richoo asked.

"We fear that we have a secret door that someone installed in this room. We found the main secret door, but we don't know if there is something else that it was hiding. Can you try and find it? If there is nothing else, then it's fine, but Zenchu is unsure. Please put this situation at ease for us?" Mitsumi asked. Richoo narrowed his eyes and pressed himself against the walls and floor of the narrow section. When his outer layer was able to find something, he pointed out to a small, hidden panel in the floor.

"It's there," he said.

"If I rip it out, Tacki will get pissed. We may need Shenjou's venom to dissolve any locks safely," Zenchu frowned.

"Are there any keys or buttons?" Mitsumi asked.

"I'm here!" Siren said and ignored the gaping girls on landing in flight. "Metal Knight says it's electronic and he can hack it."

"That I can. It appears to be a remote control. I can make another form of remote control," Metal Knight said from her ring. "I was watching through the cameras. I would also like to interview our little hacker. She has done some intensive research in order to do what she did. I will expect her to report to the laboratory for an interview with me the moment she is able."

"Oh…" the girl in question winced. Metal Knight?! Himself?! What do I say to him? What can I possibly do now? I'm in so much trouble!

"Hmm…" Mitsumi frowned hard at all of this. :Inichi, I fear we may need to do a mass meeting with the staff. While all of them are away from this floor, every single room MUST be searched for hidden areas like this. No exceptions. So, after we have breakfast, we need to get this done. Please send the word?:

:I fully agree, Lady Mitsumi. I shall send the word now to those we know that can assist. I shall also pay close attention to any thoughts on what may be discovered in which room to make the search even faster.: Inichi said. Saitama blinked at the mental message and gave a small nod to her to show he heard it.

"After we see what's in there, we need to eat. Then we'll do a staff meeting. For everyone. Whoever is not there, I will ask the questions to the one that is missing," Saitama said flatly and gave a side-long glare at the nervous girls.

"I cracked it," Metal Knight said and Siren helped pull the panel away when it lifted. Inside the small compartment, Mitsumi's jaw dropped with outrage.

"A thief lives in here," Saitama said. "Unless it was here before."

"I got it," Zenchu said and pulled out the small cache bag of treasures that were revealed. On further inspection, Mitsumi cringed with absolute fury.

"These came from your childhood bedroom?!" Inichi said with shock.

"Someone must have gone in after you left and took everything," Saitama said on evaluating the scenario. "They likely didn't have the time to collect and hoped to do so on getting back."

"I can't…!" Mitsumi cringed again, but now with intense hurt at the memories the small bracelets and necklaces gave her. At the sight of her tears of emotional pain now, the girls standing there widened their eyes. They knew this was far worse than any form of physical pain.

"Okay. She's upset. Now I'm pissed. Who? Is? In? This? Room? Tell me. Right now," Saitama said and glared at the nerve-racked girls. When his body began to glow a dull red, it made them panic even more. "This is the last time I am asking that question calmly."

"Mr. Saitama, it is one of the men that works the landscapes. He is likely tending to the plants around the pool right now," Anno said. "May I propose something? It may help."

"Please," Saitama said with a small growl. He was just barely kept calm with Mitsumi pressing into him for comfort now, and he was running his hands over her back to show he was there for her. He knew she was on the brink of breaking down completely, and it just pissed him off that much more.

"Let's seal this room back up, but take back the jewelry. We'll lock it in the master bedroom where it will be safely examined later in full. These girls here know too much. We do not need idle gossip to ruin our plans. Let's confine them to the kitchen to work with my staff where they will be watched in full until all of this is revealed.

"Most of my staff consists of the newly hired workers that know nothing of the past events, too. We can use the extra help for cleanup, anyways, from these girls. We have breakfast to serve and will have dishes and counters to scrub down. At the meeting, though, have them sit with my staff to ensure they remain silent. We will have them sit in the center of the kitchen staff, too. When all are assembled, Miss Mitsumi can have those she trusts to go through each room. If more evidence is found, it can be pooled together," Anno suggested.

"A sound plan," Inichi agreed. "Is there a room roster?"

"There is. It's in the kitchen on this floor," Takeda nodded.

"What would be the most recognizable piece of jewelry?" Saitama asked Mitsumi. She looked through the bag and pulled out a small pinky ring of rose gold with a rose centerpiece. It was even set with a diamond chip in the center of the rose decoration. He slipped it on her pinky and let Inichi take the rest of the old treasures to the master bedroom.

"This was the first ring Father gave me. When I turned five," Mitsumi said with a small, painful smile. "There's a necklace, too, but the chain is too short now. I did see it in the bag. Tacki will have to get me a longer chain for it."

"I'm sure she will," Saitama smiled warmly and kissed her forehead.

"Why do you want me to wear this?" she asked when he lifted her in his arms to carry her away.

"So that whoever stole your things will see it. Then Inichi can make them sweat even more with confrontation," he muttered.

"I see. I mean…I could have handled my things being sold. Confiscated, even. But stolen?! From my own room? How could they have gotten in when I had locked the room back up before I left?! I just…I don't understand…" she shivered. "It's like I got slapped in the face. Again. And nothing was brought to our attention, either, when people got allowed a second chance to be here!"

"I know," Saitama nodded and pressed the button for the upper second floor.

"I've half a mind to fire all of the ones that we discovered that have done intense wrong and hire completely new people!" she said a touch angrily now.

"Easy," he said and gave her a loving kiss. "I know you're pissed. But I need to you be sad. That way I can be pissed for you. I will fix this. You've been through enough. You are playing me out in your deck now. I'm your Wild card again. Let me handle this. Okay? I'll make things right."

"I love you," she trembled and got squeezed in comfort.

"I love you, too," he smiled warmly and kissed her again. "Don't worry. Inichi told everyone what was going to happen. So, here's what I'm thinking."

"Hmm?" she smiled and snuggled into him when he carried her out of the elevator and into the dining room to sit in the massive chair. He was still giving off the dark red aura to show he was pissed, but he was still quite attentive to her. Even her fans were out and hovering in their sets to show they were not happy.

"We'll eat. Then we'll address everyone. We'll have our fastest family go through the rooms for a second inspection while we give our speeches of how we were disrespected. We confront the ones that live in those rooms once we find evidence of what they did. If they lie, they get fired. Maybe slapped, too, as per the contract they signed. If they tell the truth, they must vow to stop being stupid. After that, we collect the one we have in the lab and sleeping to take back home for the others to kick around. And we'll do that after we see what two fleas will do if they fight over a body," he smirked lightly. "I know we said we'd see if the same flea will make the same type of monster, but this appears to be more worthwhile."

"Okay," she nodded.

"Then…I guess…we contact my parents and see if they want to go fishing," he sighed and rolled his eyes at the thought to get her giggling.

"Dad!" Fumio said when he ran into the dining room before pausing at the dark red glow. "Um…you're mad?"

"Yes. We found stuff that belonged to your mom when she was a child in a room that it wasn't supposed to be in. It was stolen jewelry. Keep quiet for now, okay? We have a lot planned. Come and sit down so we can eat," Saitama said.

"Really?!" Fumio growled and sighed. "Okay."

"Hey," Garou said when he escorted Lily to the table. "When's the meeting? I can help Zenchu later."

"After we eat," Saitama nodded.

"I'm starved!" Lily sighed.

"Same," Garou chuckled and let her lean into him.

"You seem a bit more relaxed…" Zenchu said when he sat down.

"I know," Garou nodded. Now Zenchu saw Lily's blush and his jaw dropped. "Yes. We did. She wanted it."

"I know…" Lily giggled and got a soft kiss given to her before tucking into the bowl of egg fried rice presented to her.

"You…? Really?" Saitama blinked at him.

"Yes. We did," Garou said.

"Okay. If she gets pregnant by you…" Saitama started. Garou paused and now looked at him with shock.

"You didn't think about that?" Mitsumi smiled softly.

"Ah…no…" Garou blinked.

"Marry her if she gets pregnant," Saitama said with a stern nod. Zenchu coughed on the water he was drinking down from nearly laughing at his brother's complete look of disbelief now.

"You'll take care of me if something does happen, though. Right?" Lily asked softly. Garou looked at her and sighed hard.

"You know I would," Garou said. "I would never abandon you like that. You're giving me a chance. And you did start it."

"I know I did," Lily chuckled. "And I'm sure I'll start it again later."

"Ah…fuck…" Garou said when he went speechless at the feel of her bare foot moving slightly up his pant leg.

"You know you'll be doing that!" Zenchu found himself dying with laughter after saying the comment. Then he went breathless when Garou flipped him off.

"My brothers…" Mitsumi chuckled softly and got squeezed by Saitama. Fumio was hiding his face in his hands from laughing at it all.

"I'd better eat before I start thinking I need to go back to bed," Garou sighed and rose a brow at Lily's sharp giggle.

"Oh. You, too, eh?" Saitama asked.

"Yeah. And…you're glowing that red shit," Garou said.

"I know. And you know why," Saitama said evenly with a slight flickering of coals in his pupils. "I'll stay pissed until this is over with."

"Miss Mitsumi. Mr. Saitama," Anno appeared with the serving cart and bowed to them both. "Thank you for your assistance earlier. I wanted to make you one of my signature breakfast dishes as my true show of appreciation."

"Anno! You didn't have to! Such a thing takes so much time!" Mitsumi frowned at him. Anno laughed softly and nodded.

"I know. But, with Master Orotsu and how he can easily cook multiple things at once…it was easier to create," Anno said and set the covered tray in front of Saitama and Mitsumi to lift the cover. Now they saw stacks of bean paste waffles, egg soufflé in a delicate cup, a poached egg over sweetened bread and there was a bit of Peking duck on a stick laid over a plate of white rice. Two cups of orange juice next to mugs of tea were set down next for them both.

"Is there enough for all of us?" Sweet Mask chuckled when he sat down. "I still have that appointment to go to, but I can always eat breakfast first. It's early enough, too, that I can easily see what the next event is."

"Quite enough," Anno chuckled and watched the servers cater to those that now sat down. He paused when Sweet Mask produced a folder for Inichi's hovering form. Fubuki had just walked into the dining room to sit down when she coughed at what it was.

"Sweet Mask…no," Inichi said with a small mutter.

"It actually holds promise, though," Sweet Mask said. "I had just gotten it last night before bed when they called me, and it was delivered to me directly by the Hero Association."

"Are there more than five sentences that lack an error?" Inichi asked. Now Anno caught Mitsumi and Saitama snickering and waiting for the resulting conversation to start. As various others started to filter in to get served their breakfast, they paused at the sight of Inichi glaring at the folder.

"Well…" Sweet Mask started. Inichi smacked a small hand to his face.

"Hey," Kamikaze said when he sat down with Tacki. Then he saw the folder. "Nice. Breakfast and a show, eh?"

"I'll fix your hair after breakfast, Lady Mitsumi," Kianna said from where she sat with King. Bane looked over and hid his face in his hand. Mitsumi smiled and felt intense pity for Inichi now.

"Do you see what you started, Sweet Mask?!" Inichi scowled to get his friend coughing with laughter. "Damn you! Fine…"

"Genos. Inichi's been given another script," Kamiko snickered.

"Ah. I wish the one who wrote it well," Genos said with a small nod. "And the best of luck that it will pass his critique."

"Hey. Ah. Good timing," Zombieman said when he sat down with Himiko. Daiki was soon sitting down, and he quickly looked away at the sight of the folder. Inichi now took it up with a small bubble to cringe and peer through the pages.

"Where is Flashy Flash?" Mitsumi asked. Saitama looked at her and grumbled at the name.

"He is remaining in the laboratory with Child Emperor and Iwasaki. They will have breakfast there," Genos nodded to answer her.

"What do you think?" Sweet Mask asked and made sure not to drink anything just yet.

"What do I think?" Inichi asked eloquently. "Whoever this 'writer' is should learn how to study the prehistoric stone wheel. Directly from the Stone Age. I'm quite sure that, should this 'writer' use a hammer and a chisel, creating a replica of a stone wheel would be far more fruitful. In fact, it would be far better than writing a script from one that has no idea how to spell or structure a decent sentence! At least the wheel may roll down a hill. This script? It is only going downhill with my sanity! I have enough years in my mental asylum as it is!"

"Wow…" Anno said and had to cover his mouth to cough and hold back his sudden fit of laughter. Fubuki was holding her face in her hands to laugh hard in them. Inichi was not happy at all about it, and she knew it in full.

"What's it about?" Zombieman had to ask.

"An alien invasion…" Inichi said with a look of absolute horror in his eyes.

"Um…what?" King asked with confusion.

"Exactly my point on reading this!" Inichi said to get them all laughing hard at the table now. "No plot! Aliens appear. How? When? What time? What weapons are used? This is as bad as the gala scripting I read! How did the aliens arrive? What did these aliens look like? Sweet Mask, was this the same writer?!"

"Ah…well…" Sweet Mask cringed.

"I knew it! And the only reason why this showed 'promise' to you was only because you knew it would make you laugh when I read this!" Inichi ranted to get Sweet Mask dying with laughter now. "I should read this to those that need severe punishment! That's how bad this is!"

"Inichi…really?" Fubuki had to ask. Rendor and Tatsumaki were laughing and leaning on each other now from it all. Tanktop Girl was sitting in Tsuruga's lap by the main kitchen entrance and was in absolute tears of laughter.

"Stop. Getting. Idiots. To. Write. For. You. Please!" Inichi said slowly to Sweet Mask before smacking him with the folder to give it back. "This garbage is what pisses me off! Stop it!"

"Ow! Okay! I won't have this one write me another script!" Sweet Mask vowed and wiped the tears from his eyes now.

"You'll still hand me a script from someone just as bad. I know you," Inichi scowled at his friend to break him all over again.

"Inichi, I gotta hand it to you. I'm used to cleaning rooms. But writing? That's one mess I won't touch!" Tacki said to get Kamikaze barking out laughter.

"I should thank you for the show of confidence," Inichi snorted to get her beaming at him. Then he gave her a look of concern to show he was being serious. "How are you feeling, though?"

"I'm okay. Oh. You know I got sick when I woke up, huh?" she frowned. "It's rough. I'll admit that."

"If she likes sweet and salty flavors, I can possibly infuse a tea," Anno said from where he managed to stand and recover.

"The mint tea helps her, but this is all morning sickness," Kamikaze frowned. "She gets through it and she's fine. It just sucks."

"If there was one thing that worked for, ah, Miss Mitsumi's late mother, it was ginger crackers. It soothed the stomach and relieved the nausea. I shall see about procuring some," Anno suggested lightly.

"Anything! If they work for Tacki, they can work for others, too," Kamikaze sighed and rubbed Tacki's back. When she started to turn green again, he gaped. "Shit! Bathroom! Now!"

"Here!" Takeda said when she ran over with an empty bucket. It was now used hastily and Kamikaze could only run a soothing hand over Tacki's back.

"Easy…" he muttered and sighed hard. He kept chewing on the splintered stick with mild frustration at what she was going through.

"Mr. Anno!" a girl from the kitchen staff said and ran over to him to hand him a few ginger cookies. "Master Orotsu found these!"

"Good!" Anno nodded and moved to set the cookies down near Tacki. "Here. When you're ready. I'll have some seltzer water with lemon and mint made now. That will also help you."

"Okay…" Tacki coughed out and groaned. She was given some water to rinse out her mouth, and she trembled with the pain of it all. She paused when she felt Mitsumi's arms around her to give her a comforting hug, and she burst into tears on hugging her back.

"It's okay," Mitsumi soothed and hugged her. "It's okay, sister."

"Lady…Mitsumi…" Tacki sniffled. "Thank you…"

"Just think of this," Mitsumi said with a small grin. "I may be puking up like you in a month!"

"Mitsumi. Shut. Up. No," Saitama said on standing behind her. Zenchu bit back a laugh with Garou now.

"We can share the same bucket!" Mitsumi said to get Tacki laughing with her like crazy now. Kamikaze groaned and found himself laughing now.

"Stop it!" Saitama scowled while the others started to laugh. "No getting sick! Don't even think about it!"

"Well, would you rather a bucket or on you?" Mitsumi asked him now.

"No," Saitama said and pulled her into his arms to carry her back to their chair. "None of it. Finish eating."

"Aww," Mitsumi pouted.

"Listen to me," Saitama said and had her sit in his lap. He tilted her face to his to press a gentle kiss to her mouth. "I don't like it when you get sick. It actually makes me panic. A lot. I know there may be a possibility that it can happen. I just don't want to think about it. Please. For me?"

"Okay," she nodded and snuggled into him.

"I love you," he said and kissed her temple. "We have quite a bit to do today. I want to relax after this. Go fishing. Maybe hang out with my parents. Kill another monster. I know Orotsu will have to go to Neutral Grounds, too, with whoever plans to go with him. We have maybe two hours left here."

"I love you, too," she sighed and nodded again. He had her sit up to start feeding her small pieces of the delicious breakfast meal.

"Try this," Kamikaze said when he handed Tacki one of the cookies. She was able to eat it, and she sipped down the new mug of seltzer water with lemon and mint with a sigh of relief. After another few minutes passed, she showed she was doing much better. "We'll get a stock of this. Okay?"

"Okay," she nodded and pressed into him.

"Did you want anything else?" he asked.

"Not yet," she said and sighed with exhaustion.

"I need to take her home," Kamikaze said.

"I can assist," Inichi said.

"No. Just…stay here. I'll be okay. I want to be with Lady Mitsumi," Tacki said. "If I fall asleep, then let me sleep. Just don't take me back until she goes back. I don't wanna leave her."

"Fine. I just want to make sure you'll be comfortable," Kamikaze said and was able to cradle her in one arm so he could eat. "If you want something, let me know. I'll have it ready for you."

"Another cookie," she said and was able to get it. It was ten minutes later that everyone there was able to eat their fill.

"Okay. Where can we gather everyone?" Saitama asked.

"There is an auditorium on the first upper floor. As it was mainly a floor for learning, there is a room for speeches. It was purposely made large enough to hold all of the staff, as well as major gatherings for private and social events," Anno said. "Shall we prepare the room?"

"How long will it take?" Saitama asked.

"Give me ten minutes," Richoo said.

"I think I can help now," Tacki said. "Honey, just sit in a chair in there in case I feel icky. You holding me really does help. Like a lot."

"I can do that," Kamikaze said. "I'll have something light brought over for you, too. You need to eat something substantial."

"That's good," Tacki nodded and let him carry her away.

"I know what I can bring her," Anno nodded.

"Thanks. And it's good that you don't look like hell anymore. You need more sleep," Kamikaze grinned lightly and made his way to the elevators.

"Ah. Right," Anno chuckled softly.

"Let's get the meeting done. While everyone is there, we'll have others go through the rooms. I want a full count of what room has those stupid walls. We were told an employee roster with the rooms taken was in the kitchen for the servants, too. I want a check next to each room and name that has that crap," Saitama said and glanced at Genos.

"Of course, Master," the cyborg nodded discreetly. Saitama rose up with Mitsumi and paused when she reached for the rest of her orange juice. He set her down to stand and finish what she needed.

"There's quite a bit left over. I'm full, though," Saitama chuckled.

"Same! We can have this sent back to our home in City Z with Inichi's help. I still want to finish it off," she smiled and got kissed softly.

"I can definitely assist with that," Inichi nodded and was already sending the delectable breakfast to the apartment. Zip was made aware and ready to receive it to put it in the refrigerator for later.

"Master Saitama, Orotsu and I plan to go to Neutral Grounds within the next ten minutes. He wanted me to tell you," Suiryu said.

"Thanks, Inichi. And, eh, okay, Suiryu. We may head there later, too, after fishing. Okay, let's have this meeting," Saitama said and scooped up Mitsumi again to carry her away. I want this done. Then we can refocus on the monster in the lab. Hopefully we can get out of here in an hour and finally head home. I actually miss my treasure bed.
