Saitama's hand slowly returned to him after it stopped the sound of his bedside clock. It was a traditional alarm clock with bells on the top. Like everything else in the hero's life, he liked to keep things as simple as possible.

Saitama lay motionless on his back for the next few minutes with his eyes closed. Internally, he debated if it was worth getting out of bed today. Not because he was feeling down or especially tired, mind you. It's just...well...this was the first day of a new...kind of living.

But what did that mean exactly? Had something happened in Saitama's life recently? Something that might've caused a stir? A commotion, perhaps?

Let's quickly go through the list and see what sticks out: A ninja, one of the deadliest in the world, now wants Saitama dead. A big chunk of his section in City Z had been torn down and renovated in ONE day. And...hmm...maybe I shouldn't mention this last one. Technically, it hasn't happened yet.

Regardless, Saitama wanted to isolate himself from the world today. Let everyone get the crazy out of their system. Then, he'd be able to go back to his normal life. Well, Saitama's brand of "normal", at least.

Sadly, Saitama knew if he didn't face it head-on and get it over with, someone would come around and drag him out of his apartment. Most likely, it'd be a certain Esper. So, with a heavy sigh, Saitama begrudgingly rose from slumber.

Standing from his extremely comfortable and luxurious mattress, Saitama slipped on his new slippers and left his bedroom. Stepping into a rather basic-looking living space, which he was fine with, Saitama then went to the bathroom. After a nice hot soak in a pristine shower, he'd return to his bedroom and get dressed. Admittedly, Saitama DID have a second bathroom IN his sleeping quarters, but he hadn't gotten used to its existence yet.

Soon, Saitama was dressed in his usual beige shorts, sandals, and a plain shirt. His cactus, which had several new plant siblings on his larger balcony, didn't need water. Nor did any of the just mentioned additional vegetation.

For a moment, Saitama pondered if he should bother making some breakfast. It didn't last long since he knew a large buffet was in the process of being made. So, he proceeded to his apartment's front door and stepped out into the awaiting hallway.

"Saitama!"

A cheerful young girl's voice greeted the bald hero as he exited his domicile. Looking to his left, Saitama saw the source approaching him with a smile and an excited expression; a black-haired girl wearing a vanilla cardigan atop a pink dress. Additionally, this young lady wore knee-high socks with frills and finely-polished shoes that matched her hair color. All in all, this girl seemed to be the embodiment of cheeriness.

"Morning, Zenko." Saitama greeted with a small wave as the girl reached him. "Sorry if it was weird sleeping here so suddenly." He apologized.

"Not at all! It was great!" Zenko exclaimed, maintaining her smile. "I just can't believe we're neighbors now! This is so exciting!" She carried on.

"Hey, Zenko," Bad called for her as he appeared from their apartment. He was in his usual attire, which doubled as his hero "costume". "Don't bother Saitama first thing in the morning. We may live here, but it's still his building." He told her.

BAP

With impressive speed, accuracy, and power, Zenko removed one of her shoes and threw it at her brother's pompadour-wearing head. Thankfully, the hair was untouched.

"OW! WHAT THE HELL?!" Bad yelled as he gripped his face. As he did, his sister walked over and picked up her footwear.

"I was in the MIDDLE of talking to him! Don't be so rude!" Zenko scolded her sibling while waving the shoe. "Besides, YOU have NO room to talk! How often have I asked you to invite Saitama to spend time with us?" She asked.

"I can't just ask that out of the blue; it'd be weird!" Bad yelled in his defense, now glaring at his sister.

By now, you're properly confused, aren't you? What in the blazes is going on, you're wondering. When we left off, Saitama agreed to an interview with Mizuki and Satoru. How did we get here in this superhero sitcom?

Let's spin time back a bit by a day. Rather, where we last saw Saitama. He did agree to that interview; you all saw it. However, there wasn't a right time to do it then and there.

See, Saitama's position as the Top-Ranked hero came with several responsibilities. One of which was respecting the chain of command and communication. Although, it WAS in his "power" to share whatever information he wanted about anything since he WAS the strongest hero in the world. Still, Saitama wanted to run everything by his fellow S-Class first.

But how does this explain the brother and sister bickering both Saitama and we are witnessing? Simple. Rewind time a bit further back. Remember all the construction and busy work Mizuki and Satoru saw? Whelp. Saitama, Zenko, and Bad are standing in it.

Welcome to the newly established Hero Apartments. See all of our luxuries! We have the finest units; they put houses to shame! A fully-staffed kitchen provides the greatest of cuisines! The best workout facilities in the world! A recreational room that was overflowing with activities! And so, SO much more!

Why, if you didn't know any better, you'd say this was a resort! A MASSIVE vacation destination to soothe your soul and erase your woes! Yet, you are not fooled, dear reader. This is the new residence of the Hero Association's finest!

WAIT! I hear you cry out. What about the rest of the area? Multiple buildings were torn down. Surely not all of that space was dedicated to THIS building, right? Even for S-Class and the Association, that'd be insane!

Well, not by much, honestly. Still, you ARE correct. The other vacant properties, long abandoned by their former owners, were used to construct specific facilities. Here's the list for convenience: A new laboratory and production factory for Metal Knight and Isamu. A new base of operations for City Z's Association personnel. A mysterious structure that was constructed at the request of Drive Knight. It was probably a workshop similar to Isamu's Laboratory, but he asked Saitama to keep its contents between them, which he agreed to. Lastly, a transportation hub to assist S-Class with deployments.

Now, some might be quick to mention certain heroes like Watchdog Man. He only patrolled his city and had a dedicated public square where he spent most of his time. Even so, Watchdog Man did have an apartment in the building. Only the canine hero would know whether he'd ever use it or maybe did so secretly.

Then, you had Silver Fang and Atomic Samurai, who had schools that they lived in where they taught students their fighting styles. Similarly to Watchdog Man, they'd remain primarily at their current residence. However, they'd (presumably) get more use out of their apartments than their four-legged colleague. Also, Silver Fang and Atomic Samurai did ask for apartments for their best students since they were usually around them. Like before, Saitama had no issues and agreed.

As for the remainder of S-Class, none of them had any hang-ups about moving in. This was a SIGNIFICANT upgrade for nearly all of them. The same could be said for the Association employees who'd now be working right next door. Yet still, there were a LOT of vacant units that remained. If only there were a large body of heroes that operated beneath a well-known leader who had a connection to S-Class and Saitama...

Ah, right, yes, one does exist. Saitama graciously invited Fubuki and the Blizzard Group. That's right; HE invited them. This came about when Fubuki, who stopped by last night to see how things were coming, commented on how nice Saitama's new dwelling was compared to her group's HQ. Seeing no downside to them being there, Saitama welcomed them with open arms.

Simultaneously, Saitama felt a cold chill go through his body. He looked around but found no logical cause. Meanwhile, a headful of long green hair moved in the background. It headed for the nearest elevator, seemingly in a huff of annoyance and displeasure.

And with that, you're caught up. At least, I believe you are. Any more startling details? Anything I've miraculously left out for the sake of interesting plot development or conflict later? Eh, probably.

"Uh...guys?" Saitama spoke up, getting Bad and Zenko's attention. "You two good? Should I go on ahead?" He asked.

"Nope! We're fine!" Zenko quickly answered, returning to her cheery version.

"If that were true, you wouldn't have thrown your shoe at me..." Bad grumbled.

In response, Zenko quickly shot a glare in her brother's direction. That eyeful was enough to straighten the bat wielder's back and zip his lips.

"If you say so..." Saitama said, not convinced in the slightest. "We should get downstairs before it gets too rowdy." He suggested, to which he received nods from both siblings.

Zenko and Bad accompanied Saitama to the nearest elevator. Little did he know that familial dispute would be a preview of what would come during breakfast.
