It was almost two hours later when they both emerged dressed to receive company. She was in her sky-blue fan dancing costume. He was in his glittering hero attire to accompany her. She was also leaning a bit hard on him from the exhaustion he put her through while he carried her over. Overgrown Rover was trotting with them, and Blue Ripple was able to levitate his own bucket to follow them for now. He also wanted to get used to doing it. Bright Bolt was trotting in pace with them neatly to settle wherever they went. Saitama took Mitsumi straight over to the others at the barbecue pit to find a seat.
"Easy," he muttered and kissed her forehead after sitting down with her in his lap. Overgrown Rover pawed at him to show intense concern. It even nuzzled at Mitsumi's hand to get no real response from her. That had Saitama blink and realize that something was wrong. "Mitsumi? Are you feeling okay?"
"I feel a bit weak…" she winced.
"What?" he blinked. "Um…you were fine before…?"
"I know…but…" she said and coughed slightly. Then she started to shiver as though she was freezing. Now he gave her a blank, neutral stare before shouting out for Kamiko. Inichi was swift to bring her over in a blue bubble. Genos set down the nearly finished coloring page he was working on before rushing to Kamiko's side to help her in any way he could.
"I'm here!" she said and paused at Overgrown Rover's protective snarl.
"Doggy…" Saitama said calmly. It looked at him with a whine before backing away to let Mitsumi get checked. She noticed that Mitsumi's face was flush and sweat was already starting to break out. Her forehead was starting to burn to the touch. There was only one thing that signified this.
"Not good…a fever…" Kamiko winced.
"What?!" Saitama gaped with shock. "How?!"
"Are you sure? Hmm…Miss Mitsumi's vitals are sporadic to suggest this illness assessment. How could she get ill so quickly?" Genos asked with a hard frown. "Many precautions are in place!"
"I'm honestly not sure," Kamiko frowned and thought back. "This...I think I recognize the symptoms of this…"
"Her past fever from the snake venom days?" Inichi asked on studying the thoughts she gave out. "It does appear to have the same appearance and illness traits. But it was removed when she was bitten! Has it simply been dormant and gained enough strength to return? I know some illnesses recur, but this is baffling! And so long after the snake was removed? I don't recall anything going around, but one never knows. Lady Mitsumi has been around many lately…"
"Can we fix this?!" Saitama asked now with irritation, but it was also filled with complete concern. Blue Ripple snorted and sniffed over Mitsumi's body carefully. He studied how her blood flowed in her body before giving a hissing snarl of something detected.
"Akiyama!" Blue Ripple said quickly to where she was sitting with Deep Sea Prince. "We need you! Mitsumi is ill! You can assist me with her with internal healing from your bubbling waters! Quickly!"
"Oh!" Akiyama jumped up and moved to a small booth that was set up for Secret Skins. Siren and Metal Knight were paying close attention in the cameras to see if they had to help out in any way. Zenchu soon appeared to let Wind Crane care for the nest. Garou and Lily were also there soon after to show their support. Fubuki was keeping her faction back to allow the others to assess the situation. Kianna kept King in his seat from so many already being there. Even Rendor was close by with Tatsumaki to show their concerned support.
"How did she get sick?!" Tacki frowned after running over with Kamikaze. Bane and Bomb were now going over what they knew of as quick remedies to relieve any discomfort in case it was needed.
"We don't know. I don't care. I want her better," Saitama said with a grimace. He let out a slow, hissing breath for control. "I can't fix this…"
"Stand clear," Blue Ripple said and let Akiyama's shimmering, floating fish form dart over. She studied where to let the bubbles pop over Mitsumi's face, and she was quick to do a quick swirl to let that happen. Mitsumi coughed hard and gasped at the soothing water that now purged her after swallowing some of it down. Another swirling pass was done to ensure there was enough of the healing water given before she darted back. As the healing bubbles did their work, Blue Ripple kept a stern watch on how the water moved in Mitsumi's veins.
"I found the problem…" Blue Ripple growled. "Inichi…study my thoughts. We don't have much time. I need you to pull out what I pull in to purge from her body. I can make something into a solid state, but you need to remove it."
"What?!" Inichi gaped and focused on where Blue Ripple mentally instructed. The powerful water monster pulled together everything the healing water revealed to turn it into a bit of a tiny marble in Mitsumi's stomach. Inichi was able to carefully guide it up and out from Mitsumi's mouth. She coughed it out and burst into tears from the pain of it all. Saitama only rocked her and soothed her with soft mutters under his breath to calm her back down.
"It's okay. I'm here. Easy…" he said and pressed a loving kiss to her cooling forehead after her fever broke. Then he glared at the sickly green-colored marble. "What the hell is that?! Tell me what that is!"
"This is what was left of the venom in her system," Blue Ripple snorted. "It was forming into something else. It was ready to cause havoc in her body. With us here, she will be immune to getting illnesses like that from this point forward. As will all those close to her. A common sneeze will be permitted. Even a usual belly ache. Nothing of intense sickness like this."
"Wait. That was venom? And it was becoming something else? How?" Saitama asked and pointed at what was in Inichi's floating blue bubble.
"It was turning into a flea," Blue Ripple hissed out. "If it formed successfully…well…you know what may have happened."
"I'm killing it," Saitama said with a fiery glare of his pupils.
"Saitama…no…" Mitsumi whispered to get his direct attention. "I don't want you near it…please…"
"Okay," he nodded and hugged her tight to his chest. "Okay. I won't go near it. But I wanna punch it out of existence!"
"No," she said softly and rested against him.
"Why?" he asked.
"I want them to study it first. Because if it infected me like a parasite…what would it do to another Secret Skins that we have to kill?" she asked with a small smile. He thought about it for a split-second before shaking his head.
"No. That thing was in you. It tried to hurt you. It made you sick. It dies. I can't let it live. It came from that asshole. I vowed to protect you from him. I have to get rid of it," he said flatly. She shivered and nodded in agreement. He pressed a long kiss on her mouth now before holding her tight to him again. "I love you, Mitsumi. I have to get rid of it."
"I love you, too," she whispered and grimaced with a hard shudder.
"Mitsumi?!" he asked and looked at her.
"No. I'm okay. It's just…why?" she whimpered and found herself squeezed gently against him. "Why?"
"I don't know," he muttered. "All I can do is stand in the way. I have to protect you with everything I have. You know this."
"Yeah…" she sighed and found herself kissed again.
"All of it must be destroyed?" Metal Knight asked from his hovering robot.
"If Siren had something plaguing her body, would you want to study it and examine it to always look at it and know it almost killed her?" Saitama asked slowly. Genos blinked and realized the question resembled the one asked about keeping a refrigerated crate of Mitsumi's organs.
"Ah…I see…" Metal Knight said and cleared his throat.
"It gets destroyed. All of it," Saitama said with a growl. Inichi hissed when the marble suddenly formed itself into a tiny body with two black, beady eyes. It looked a bit more like a larva than a flea if one looked closely enough.
"You can't destroy me!" the newly formed monster hissed out.
"Oh? You can talk better than the others. Interesting," Inichi muttered.
"Give me back my prey!" it seethed. Now Saitama's body burst out the red haze of destructive death. Bright Bolt backed away in fright, but Tacki was there to let him press into her. Mitsumi gave him a small smile to show he was safe and to reassure him. Blue Ripple was now in full attack mode and ready to assist. If Fire Flight was there, the entire place might have been consumed in flames. Zenchu had to rush back over to Wind Crane to keep her calm in the nest. She was ready to rush out and attack in full force.
"Stay here! Saitama's got it!" Zenchu said to calm her hissing form.
"Shit…" Garou cringed and kept Lily close against his side.
"Yeah. I'll sit this one out," King swallowed and let Kianna press into him.
"That power…!" Bomb gaped.
"Word of advice. Don't let him hit you," Bane said with a small nod. "Hmm. Charanko isn't back with that candle yet. And he's missing this. Ah, well…may be for the best."
Overgrown Rover whimpered and seemed to hunker down a touch before looking up at Mitsumi. Saitama glanced down and said, "It's okay, doggy."
"Puppy…" Mitsumi said softly and let it jump into her arms. It knew she would protect it from this. Saitama gave out a deep breath and looked at Mitsumi now to show he was ready to kill.
"Can you stand behind me?" Saitama asked her in a gentle, tender way.
"I don't know," she admitted. "I still feel a little weak."
"Okay," he nodded and kissed her softly. He rested a hand against her belly and smiled softly despite the red haze of death that kept leeching from his form. "I will never hurt you."
"I may be pregnant by you! You'd better not hurt me!" she said with a small huff to get him laughing softly. "I'll be going through enough, anyways."
"Don't remind me," he said with a roll of his fiery eyes.
"I don't have to. We can watch how the others will be," she beamed to get him cringing at the idea. Kamikaze coughed and hid his face quickly. Saitama blinked and stared at his wife.
"Stop it," he said now.
"Why? It will give you a few ideas on how to work with me."
"No."
"Oh, come on…"
"No. Don't even!"
"Saitamaaa!" she finally sighed with exasperation.
"I guess she's feeling better," Garou chuckled softly. Saitama looked over at him to give a shake of his head before rising up to stand with Mitsumi in his arms. He glared at the floating flea and realized that something was different about it. It doesn't look like a normal flea! What the hell is it?!
"I don't know what the hell you are. But you tried to kill my wife," Saitama said and had Mitsumi shift to his back to piggyback on him. Overgrown Rover easily settled against her to be between her and Saitama. "That's inexcusable. You tried to make her sick. Now you're calling her your prey?! You're done!"
"Weakling!" it spat out. Inichi was quick to toss it high up into the air just as Mitsumi's fans came out to help disperse the intense power around them. Saitama shouted hard as he punched up at it. The red beam was quick to incinerate it to nothing within seconds. He pulled his fist back to show it was steaming from the power that still resonated within him.
He took in a deep breath for control and glanced at Overgrown Rover when it grumbled at him. "What?"
It whined and pawed at him to start up an argument to completely calm down the situation. Every time Saitama asked a question, it simply growled and whined in response. Only after the red haze finally died back down and he sat down in a chair with Mitsumi in his lap did the others settle down.
"Let me check her," Kamiko said and walked over.
"Come on, doggy," Saitama said and let it lick his cheek before moving aside. "And I still have no idea what you're saying, doggy."
Now it huffed and yapped at him to keep the argument going. "What? I have no idea! What are you trying to tell me?!"
Mitsumi was laughing at the whole thing, and Kamiko confirmed she was healthy once again. Relief filled them all, and Akiyama walked over to get hugged after putting her skin and clothes back on. Mitsumi could only sigh and whisper, "Thank you, Akiyama. I don't know what could have happened…"
"I'm glad I was able to help you," Akiyama said and hugged her back. She moved back to Deep Sea Prince's side and squeaked when he pulled her into his lap to hold her with a proud smile.
"Hey…" Bright Bolt said and shuffled over. Mitsumi was quick to pluck up the electrical Kirin-type monster and hold him in her lap with Overgrown Rover.
"It's okay," she soothed and let him press into her neck with relief.
"I was scared…" he admitted.
"I said this before, and I'm gonna say this again," Saitama said to Bright Bolt. "I want you to be my pet. This will ensure you don't get scared, and I still think it's awesome how I can ride you while flying."
"Bright Bolt is our pet," Mitsumi said with a small smile and hugged the powerful electric monster. "He can belong to both of us equally."
"I can agree with that," Bright Bolt nickered and nuzzled into them both.
"Good," Saitama said and lightly scratched along Bright Bolt's neck. "Feeling better now?"
"Yeah! It's like I know I can stand next to you safely if you blow up again," Bright Bolt nodded and accepted a fond scratching between his antlers.
"Good! Anyways, now that Mitsumi's healthy again, what was going on? What's the plan for the night?" Saitama asked while keeping Bright Bolt happy with small scratches.
"It is nearing sunset. Lady Mitsumi, did you still wish to dance?" Inichi asked and hovered close to let her rest a hand on the top of his head.
"I should be okay. I just need ten more minutes. I still feel a touch cold, though," Mitsumi frowned. "Is the air starting to cool?"
"Not really. Hmm. You were sweating. Are you clothes damp?" Inichi asked and glanced over at the sight of a tall couple walking over. They came from the underground entrance, and Mitsumi gasped with delight that it was Shenjou and Fire Flight in human forms.
"I was gifted with this form," Shenjou chuckled. His body was as tall as Zenchu at ten feet, ripped with intense muscle and tattooed with the scales his monster body had. He had the same snake eyes, though, and his head had a light scruff of hairy fuzz of a bluish-black nature. His ears were pointed slightly, and his nose was rounded off rather neatly like a snake's muzzle. His hands were much like Zenchu's were with retractable claws to distribute his venom output.
"Yes. He and I will need promise rings. We agreed to belong together in our human forms," Fire Flight said at his side. She resembled a stunning, fiery haired red head with glowing red eyes and deeply tanned skin. Her body was just as intensely endowed as Kamiko's, and she kept her arm looped around Shenjou's. She tossed her long hair aside to let it land near the middle of her legs. Both of them were wearing sheets of various silks for now.
"Let me get your measurements! I'll make you clothes!" Tacki said and jumped over to help.
"Told you so," Shenjou chuckled and got Fire Flight laughing with him.
"Lady Mitsumi got sick a bit ago," Garou said when he walked over to talk to them. "We were able to cure her, but it was pretty nasty."
"What?!" Shenjou blinked and was quick to move to Mitsumi's side.
"I'm okay now. Just a bit cold," Mitsumi smiled.
"Easily remedied," Fire Fight nodded and focused.
"Oh! How unexpected!" Mitsumi blinked at the warmth the flooded through her body. "This is amazing!"
"You don't feel any different to me," Saitama said.
"She will never feel cold now. And she will never be affected by it," Fire Flight chuckled. "She could stand in a blizzard and be just fine. She can even stand in the heat of a fire and be unaffected, too."
"Awesome! I'll still want her to look like she needs to stay warm, though. And cool when it's hot out, too," Saitama said. "We'll still need to show that importance with the right clothes."
"To hide the gift. I understand," Fire Flight agreed.
"Does this mean I can bathe in lava with you?" Mitsumi asked Saitama to get him looking at her with a neutral gaze.
"I…don't know…?" Saitama asked and looked at Fire Flight.
"Oh, she's definitely immune to the effects of lava," Fire Flight grinned.
"Really?! So…" Mitsumi grinned and got Saitama sighing with disbelief.
"We will discuss a lava bathtub…in time…I guess…" he shrugged.
"What made her sick?" Shenjou asked.
"Residual venom," Blue Ripple grunted. "It tried to become something living within her. Another form of a parasite."
"But…wasn't she cured of it? That makes no sense!" Shenjou frowned.
"True! She was given an antidote to counter the venom!" Genos said.
"I know. I was there to help. It's why it makes no sense," he said again.
"I do have a hypothesis," Metal Knight said from his hovering robot. "The venom may have had time to sink into various parts of her flesh. The antidote kept her from shifting. The venom may have been made dormant until it was able to bypass the antidote with time. It makes me wonder if that snake was giving her a part of itself each time to try and revive itself. That newly formed monster called her its prey, correct?"
"It did. That's what the snake referred to Mitsumi as before I killed it. Inichi told me its thoughts," Saitama said and kept his wife in his lap to comfort her. "And it looked like a worm. Or some kind of larva. A bug. I dunno. Was the snake trying to come back?"
"That would be scary to think of. It would have been residing within her," Inichi grimaced. "You had the correct thought, Mr. Saitama. It had to be destroyed. Nothing is left of it now, thankfully."
"Good," Saitama nodded and looked over at Wind Crane rushing over in her human form to gather Mitsumi into her arms with a motherly hug.
"My daughter! Are you well now?" Wind Crane asked.
"I am," Mitsumi nodded.
"I wanted to come out of the nest, but Zenchu detained me. He was right that Saitama was in control. Blue Ripple, is there a way to ensure all of the venom is fully removed from my daughter?" Wind Crane asked while still hugging Mitsumi with complete motherly protection.
"It's all removed. I followed where Akiyama's healing waters flowed in Mitsumi's veins. I removed the toxins. Her blood is filtered clean," Blue Ripple said with a nod.
"But what of her flesh?" Wind Crane asked.
"Oh…" Blue Ripple said with uncertainty.
"I can help here," Bright Bolt said. "Mitsumi, hold me tight! No matter what you feel, don't let go!"
"Ah…!" Mitsumi cringed, but Saitama was able to hug Bright Bolt with her. Overgrown Rover refused to move, and it knew it wouldn't get hurt by anything. Wind Crane stood up and took a step back. She watched the air charge up quickly and let Zenchu walk up to her to hug her to comfort her. Then a lightning bolt came straight down to jolt through Mitsumi's body. She gasped and cried out when her joints jarred loose. Her entire body spasmed and Blue Ripple was quick to pull out anything released from her internal flesh from the shock. Another marble was pulled free by Inichi, and Saitama ensured his wife came back around.
"It may be why she still felt cold," Kamiko frowned. "Is that the rest of it?"
"Yes," Bright Bolt nodded. "She'll feel numb for a few minutes, but she'll be fine. Also, after this, she will be immune to anything electrical that tries to attack her. I won't let her get hurt anymore."
"So, she can handle a live wire of electricity with her bare hands and be fine?" King had to ask. Kianna's jaw dropped at the thought.
"You could say that," Bright Bolt snickered.
"Okay, I need to ask," Saitama said as he supported Mitsumi's stunned form against him. "Can you all give me the ability to punch out with various charges of your elements?"
"That…hmm…" Fire Flight mused with intense thought. "Done."
"Given," Bright Bolt nodded.
"I wonder if you'll punch with ice or water with my gift. It is done," Blue Ripple chuckled. Wind Crane paused at the thought and frowned.
"I want to keep attacking with you. It would be best for my daughter's needs," Wind Crane said. "However, I will give you the gift of a slightly stronger sonic blast when you punch alone."
"Ah…he can already level buildings and mountains," Zenchu said.
"And now he can easily level you if you mess up," Wind Crane grinned.
"Not funny!" he snapped at her to get the others laughing.
"Sai…ta… ma…?" Mitsumi whispered on coming around.
"Hey," Saitama said and hugged her to him. "It's all done now."
"And…dreams…?" she muttered.
"I'll get in there to save you every time," he promised. Then he looked at Inichi and said, "I'm gonna give you her dream with me. I need some information. Things were said that made me curious."
"I'm ready," Inichi nodded and got the images. "Hmm…the attacker knew it was the dream world! That clearly means one thing. Someone was invading her dreams directly…and ensured it would work…"
"Blue Ripple, Inichi needs to know of her next nightmare," Saitama said. "Before any others get in to help, too. After I help her, you need to get him."
"Done," the water monster nodded.
"I think I'm feeling better," Mitsumi sighed. "I can move again."
"Five more minutes. Then we'll see," Saitama nodded and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Just rest. We have a dance to do. Something else to summon. The moment you're feeling better, we have to get on that."
"Let me call those that need to be here," Inichi said.
"Wait until she's better," Saitama said with caution.
"Oh! Of course," Inichi nodded. All of their attention was directed to the new marble. It was a bit larger than the other one to show how much residual venom was dormant in her system. This marble quickly formed into a duplicate of the golden snake that was on her wrist. Mitsumi cringed with sheer horror, but Saitama was already punching at it the moment Inichi tossed it up into the air.
"It's dead!" Saitama said quickly and went back to rocking her against him. "It's dead. It's gone. All of it is gone."
"Saitama…!" she whimpered and pressed into him with intense shivers of outright fear. Overgrown Rover whined and pressed into her to help comfort her. Even Blue Ripple slipped his muzzle into her arms next to Bright Bolt to purr deeply with affection.
"See? We have lots of friends now. And pets. And family. We're all here. I'm not going anywhere," Saitama soothed and found himself laughing at Fire Flight's small monster form slipping around them both to snuggle into them. Mitsumi didn't even cringe at the scarlet, winged snake monster from what she was. Fire Flight knew she needed the comfort, too. Her taloned hands gently gripped Mitsumi's shoulders, and she stretched out her fiery colored wings to embrace her even more.
"Hey, Garou," Zenchu started from where he stood with Lily.
"What, brother?" Garou asked. He already knew what had to happen to further cheer up Mitsumi and keep Saitama from getting pissed.
"I wanna make a bet with you," Zenchu started.
"You win," Garou said to get the others snickering.
"You didn't even hear what I had to say! It had nothing to do with Saitama! It deals with Bane's disciple and a coloring page…" Zenchu grinned.
"Oh! If he'll realize what he's coloring?" Garou found himself grinning back. "I'm in. He won't know what he's doing."
"Damn! That was my bet!" Zenchu scowled.
"And if he wins?" Lily chuckled and kissed Garou's cheek.
"I'll personally cook him a meal. If I win, same thing vice versa," Zenchu said. Garou found himself curious and they shook hands.
"Done. Where's the page?" Garou grinned.
"Let me finish the rest of the details. Shall I also get one done for Iaian? It won't take long at all," Genos asked and sat down. Tacki was quick to deliver the page to him, and Inichi set aside the coloring pencils. Bane and Bomb now sat down and forced themselves to remain neutral in looks. Kamikaze sat with them to wait and see if Iaian would appear at Inichi's mental call.
"Mitsumi," Saitama whispered to her.
"What?" she swallowed.
"Remember the coloring pages?" Saitama grinned slightly.
"What?! Oh…!" she blinked and coughed with a cringe of laughter.
"Let me see what it looks like first," Saitama said to Genos and got the page when it was finished. "Yeah. She's moaning. He's clearly grunting. They're having sex under a sheet."
"That's just…oh, dear…" Mitsumi gasped at the page. "At least it doesn't look like us!"
"Absolutely not!" Genos said quickly to get her dying with laughter now.
"Mitsumi. That's just…no," Saitama said to get her starting to tear up. The others even grimaced at the thought.
"I ensured all facial features were fully obscured and not remotely discernible to any of us here," Genos said confidently while finishing up the duplicate picture.
"Well, that guy also has hair," Tacki said on pointing it out.
"Right…" Saitama rolled his eyes and gave the page back.
"Master? You called for me?" Iaian asked.
"Yeah. Sit down. I'm gonna need you to color something in soon and tell me what it is," Kamikaze said and pointed to a chair. "I also wanna see if Bane's guy can tell what it is."
"Why?" Iaian frowned.
"Curiosity," Kamikaze grinned and let Tacki settle back into his lap. He looked at her and asked, "How are ya feeling?"
"I'm good for now. Hmm. We were supposed to talk to that silk guy today. He was a no show at Neutral Grounds. I need to talk to him and see what he's about," Tacki frowned. "If we still have time after all this, I want Inichi to bring him here. That silk of his! I want it!"
"Okay. We'll see what we need to do," Kamikaze nodded. Genos finished the duplicate page quickly, and Inichi gave a small sensation to Charanko to appear. The youth was puzzled, but he was also mad that his candle died.
"Master! My flame died out! I was so close to coming back!" Charanko frowned hard. "I'll do better!"
"Never mind that for now. I want you to color something in and tell me what it is," Bane said and watched Inichi bring over two clipboards for them to draw on. Iaian was given a small table, though, for having one arm. Genos handed over the finished sketch, and both young men got ready to color.
"Master…" Iaian said on looking at the image. "I am not coloring this."
"Why?" Kamikaze grinned.
"They're having sex!" Iaian snapped to get them all dying with laughter.
"What? No! They're clearly arguing in bed," Charanko said.
"Ah, are you dense?" Iaian now asked him with shock to get Bane laughing even harder at the whole thing.
"Look! The man is mad and the girl is showing that she's not happy," Charanko said. Mitsumi and Saitama were in their own fits of intense laughter now. Rendor got up to peek at the page and shook his head.
"Nope. They're having sex. She's moaning in ecstasy," Rendor said.
"Yeah. It's sex," Tatsumaki nodded with complete agreement. "Rendor makes the same look."
"Tatsi…!" Rendor hissed to get Kamiko coughing for control of her laughter. Kamikaze hid his face in his palm to laugh into it.
"I can't color this in," Iaian said and set the page down. "But I want to see if Spring Mustachio can check this later."
"I'm sure we can set that up," Inichi chuckled.
"So…do I still color?" Charanko asked to get them all dying with laughter all over again. Bane just stared at his disciple with a form of shock. He's so clueless! What is with him?!
"Your disciple. Not mine," Bomb smirked at his younger brother.
"You owe me a meal," Garou grinned at Zenchu.
"Yeah, yeah…" Zenchu rolled his eyes and sighed with his own grin.
"You should have him cook for you the whole day," Saitama said and pressed a kiss to Mitsumi's forehead. Now Garou looked at Zenchu with complete amusement at this idea.
"Fuck no! I said one meal!" Zenchu said quickly to get them all laughing again.
"Fine. Tomorrow, make me dinner. I was thinking breakfast, but it's easy to scramble eggs. I want you to work for it. Dinner is harder to make, and it needs to be something amazing. And Orotsu can't help you. He can give tips, but that's it. And Anno can't touch things, either," Garou grinned wickedly to get Zenchu scowling with disbelief. Mitsumi sighed and shook her head after laughing so much. She got kissed tenderly by Saitama to comfort her completely.
"See? Everything is fine now. Don't worry," he soothed and squeezed her. "And we'll definitely find out who is trying to hurt you in your dreams. That is my next priority. Okay?"
"Okay," she nodded and pressed into him. He continued to let the monster pets snuggle into them both to keep reassuring her. He glanced up at the arena to see the robots from Metal Knight appearing to dump out the various bits of gathered earth in destined areas for summoning later on. Tacki was now working to perfect the circle, and it was decided to do the summoning first before the performance dance.
Saitama kept a hand resting on Mitsumi's belly as though to protect whatever was growing there. He had only one thought on his mind. She's pregnant. I know it. I can feel it. I don't sense anything wrong after this crap with her illness, though. Thankfully. My power must be protecting it. As much as I want to shout for joy…I need full confirmation. I don't want her to leave my side. At all. I'll have to ask when the spa thing is gonna happen. Maybe we can just…go earlier? I'll have to ask if it's possible. For now…she's safe. She's happy. She's with me. That's all that matters.
