The crowd in front of the restaurant looked over to see Mitsumi flying over with her crane wings out. Blue Ripple's fans had formed a set of secondary fin-like set of wings to help stabilize her again, and Saitama was still quite curious on how the reset of the fans would look from the others. Cold Snap had brought the others there in a blue spark to stand behind them. Mitsumi was amazed at the sight of the massive, ten story building behind the restaurant already in the final stages of construction by Metal Knight's robots. We were talking about this only a couple hours ago! This is incredible!
"Saitama," Mitsumi said to him as they came in to land.
"Hmm?" he looked at her while clinging to her back.
"We have to handle the Secret Skins that we have trapped away. I'd say maybe an hour here. Then we have to see to them," she frowned.
"Ugh. Yeah. You're right. Okay," Saitama nodded. When they landed, she let her fans appear in their circular sets of ten to hover over her. She regarded the crowd and glanced at the news van that just showed up.
"I'm bringing Sweet Mask over," Inichi said from where he stood with Fubuki. "I warned him in advance. Hmm. The board members would also like to appear to inspect the additional hotel space."
"I'm usually not one to mention this, but we should have Bane here," Kamikaze grunted with Tacki on his shoulders.
"I can get him," Cold Snap said and brought the older hero over.
"I was informed. I'm here to help. It's been a while since I saw everyone," Bane chuckled. Garou rose a brow at his old master and let Lily squeeze him.
"We're here to listen and record the events," the first board member said after he arrived with the other three members from Inichi's bubble. Sweet Mask kept Tajima at his side to let her help witness what was going to happen.
"That's fine," Mitsumi nodded and smiled at the crowd. "Hello! Yes, I am Fan Dancer. I own the restaurant with my husband, Caped Baldy. Many of you have been here before, so you know who we are! As for the construction, the restaurant will be the same as before with a few improvements. I was only planning to focus on the restaurant, but then I experienced a rather disgusting display of false hospitality from a horrific luxury hotel! So, I decided to create my own luxury hotel of unique standards with our restaurant as the main lobby. The idea was embraced by my friends and family. It was also my husband's idea."
"Oh!" a man gaped.
"That would be so cool!" a young boy beamed.
"This is new to us…" the second board member mused. "I think it can definitely work, too!"
"Will the rooms be affordable?" an older lady asked.
"We can do specialized raffles for free hotel stays," Saitama said quickly before Mitsumi could say something. "Each floor is going to be themed on what my pets can do. Mainly elements. The room prices can range around a hundred yen a night for the basic rooms. Longer stays, of course, will be more payment. This would include rooms of more luxury standards on each floor. But, we may be able to do bundled deals. This may even include room service from the restaurant.
"There will be ten floors in total for now. So, the first seven floors will be available for decent pricing. We were thinking a hundred yen up to maybe a thousand yen in price depending on the room. There will be basic rooms and very nice rooms on each floor. Maybe one extremely high class room for special events. The highest two floors will be for those with intense funds. The tenth floor, though, is to be reserved for me and my wife to oversee everything. There may be a chance that more hotels will raise up, but only if it's demanded by the cities. As much as we don't really need the extra funds, we'd also be providing a service to the public."
"Can we reserve a room on each floor for Hero Association use?" the third board member asked. "It would help if we have a hero in the area."
"We can work out a contract for that. Maybe a basic room for quick night stays on the main floor. We'll look into it," Saitama agreed. Rendor looked over to nod from where he was holding Tatsumaki.
"Since when did you become a businessman?" Mitsumi asked her husband with a raised brow. "What you just said is…very acceptable!"
"I've seen how you do business. And I do pay attention to where we go," Saitama chuckled and kissed her forehead. "I just don't show it."
"We'd need a floor for Black Shade, then," she said softly. "And Starlight."
"Ah…hmm. Okay. We'll plan out where each floor goes for the themes," Saitama nodded. Then he blinked and said, "We don't have enough floors for each theme. So, you know what? Black Shade stays out. He's based on shadow, so we don't want the floors to look darker than what they need. Starlight will do fine."
"We can have Blue Ripple's theme for water to show the start of the hotel lobby. We would need ground level rooms for those that can't travel stairs or elevators. Even quick stays as you mentioned with the Hero Association. I think I'd want Kamiko there to run the hotel lobby. Unless we do two areas at the main desk when people step in to be for the hotel or the restaurant. We'd have to set up new pathways to get to the hotel through the restaurant," Mitsumi thought aloud. "Or a safe way around the restaurant."
"I can easily make specialized key cards that can get back to you after the initial check out is set," Metal Knight said from a stationary robot. "Should anyone try to take a card for their own purposes, it will simply travel back to you. Or Cold Snap can retrieve it."
"I can totally see that!" Tacki cackled.
"Fan Dancer and Caped Baldy! Can I get a word with you?" a male reporter walked over with his microphone and camera crew. Sweet Mask showed he was ready to help with them the moment he was needed.
"Maybe. Depending on the question," Saitama said calmly.
"You mentioned a hotel had less than adequate customer service?" the reporter asked. Saitama grinned and looked at Mitsumi.
"You are correct that you heard that," Mitsumi nodded. "We walked in to investigate something that was clearly a problem with a Secret Skins monster. Then the hotel owner wanted us to pay for the outstanding room debts of the monster! He even wanted to charge us more than what was actually owed! On top of that, that same owner wanted us to check out a secretive, elite floor for wealthy patrons. My wonderful pets uncovered that he was going to scam us by fixing something to break to have me pay for it! Absolutely disgraceful!"
"Yep. It was because of that guy that we decided to make a better hotel that everyone can enjoy. With no secret floors. I mean, hey. If someone has the money to buy the most expensive room for a night, then why not?" Saitama shrugged. "My pet, Stable Rock, is gonna create that room with gems and gold flooring. Most likely."
"And more…" Stable Rock snickered. He got lifted up by Saitama and rested in his arms with contentment.
"It's all true," Sweet Mask nodded.
"I need to travel with you again," Bane said with a bit of disgruntlement.
"You are busy with your dojo. Don't worry about us," Kamikaze muttered.
"And you?" Bane grinned.
"Iaian has been helping with that," Kamikaze snorted.
"Eh…whatever works," Saitama said. "We need to start overseeing what the floors are gonna look like."
"I can start checking over the systems with Genos," Kamiko said when she arrived with him. "Dr. Kuseno is doing fine without us now."
"Wonderful to hear!" Mitsumi chuckled. Saitama set down Stable Rock to scoop up his wife, and he noticed his monster dog was tensing up and growling.
"Eh…?" he frowned and now saw what had his dog upset.
"Caped Baldy! Wait!" a girl shouted from the crowd.
"Crap. It's the one with the fake fan site about me," Saitama growled.
"Hmm?" Stable Rock glanced up at him.
"I'll let you all know. I was there," Blue Ripple growled and let the other pets know mentally with visions. All of them were ready to protect their owners. Cold Snap wanted to seal the problematic girl into a block of ice.
"What do you want with my husband?" Mitsumi now asked her directly when he turned with his wife in his arms.
"What would it take for him to divorce you?" the girl asked. Now everyone went quiet. Bright Bolt started to spark up with rage. He wasn't there for the confrontation before. Neither were Cold Snap or Stable Rock. As much as Blue Ripple told them what happened, this comment completely pissed them off. When they started to show a form of protective stances, Saitama was quick to take action.
"Stop. Don't attack," Saitama ordered lightly without taking his eyes from the girl. "Absolutely no price can be offered. Because my wife is above wealth. She's priceless. And so is my marriage to her. It's confirmed that she's going to have my son. She's pregnant. With my son! And you want me to abandon her when she's pregnant?! Are you nuts?! We got MARRIED on live stream! On top of all of that, my wife is now the richest girl in the world. Hell, she even improves my attacks with her fans! What do you have to offer me? What do you have that would even possibly convince me to set my wife aside for you? You may as well tell me while everyone is here staring at you."
"I…well…" the girl shuffled nervously.
"I get it. I'm a stupidly strong hero. But my wife is practically as stupidly strong as me. She's a Wind Crane Clan assassin. Yes. They exist. I watched her train in a room of traps. None of them touched her. Even when someone sabotaged them. Nothing touched her," Saitama said adamantly.
"Can I zap? Please?" Bright Bolt whispered.
"No need," Mitsumi smiled softly. She scanned the crowd and waved her hand in the air. "Mumen Rider! It's good to see you! I need your help!"
"Ah…oh! I was just wondering why there was a crowd! Sure!" Mumen Rider said. He parked his bike and walked over. Saitama noticed how Mitsumi's fans now separated out to form a circular dome for private conversation. They covered over the pets, too, and had a few blades flicked out to ensure none would try to get too close.
"Don't worry. We can't be heard," Saitama said. "There's a girl out there. She wants me. And she wants me to dump Mitsumi for her."
"What?" Mumen Rider blinked.
"I know, Satoru. It's stupid. But…you can help me out by taking her far away from here. Maybe find out why she wants me so bad. She even made a fake fan site about me and blurred out images of Mitsumi!" Saitama said with a small grumble. "I just don't get it."
"You're serious?!" Mumen Rider grimaced. "Ugh! Well…I guess I can talk to her. Maybe find out what's going on."
"A question for you," Blue Ripple said from where he stood with them.
"Yes?" Mumen Rider smiled.
"As a GOD monster, I can give gifts to help with things. I know you do all you can, but…would you like to have something to help benefit with how you help others? You are quite worthy of such a thing," Blue Ripple chuckled.
"What?!" the hero gaped.
"Oh, yes! We should all give him a gift," Tangled Vine purred.
"Hmm…yes…" Stable Rock chuckled.
"I…I honestly don't know…" Mumen Rider frowned.
"I'd take it! You don't have to use the gifts, but this way you can do even more with what you already do," Mitsumi smiled warmly.
"Oh! Well…if I don't have to use them…" Mumen Rider mused.
"Good. You can now breathe underwater," Blue Ripple nodded.
"Oooh! Now you can static cling bad guys to annoy them like crazy!" Bright Bolt snickered. "Nothing like a hard zap over time!"
"Hmm. You can make the ground ice over to hinder bad men from running away," Cold Snap grinned. "That's not too much for you at all."
"As for…me…hmm…ah! You…can climb…any…terrain…easily…" Stable Rock nodded. "You can…lightly…alter…the terrain…around you…in your…pursuits…"
"And as for me, small vines can reach up to help ensnare those long enough for you to catch them. So, Cold Snap can make them slip, and my vines can catch them. You can even use the vines to help climb with to benefit with Stable Rock's gift of terrain," Tangled Vine nodded. Blue Ripple thought and looked at Mumen Rider again to show he was going to speak.
"I will also ensure no water will ever hinder you or dampen your clothing," Blue Ripple smirked. Now the other monsters looked at him.
"Two gifts?! Now I need to give another gift!" Bright Bolt snorted.
"No need!" Mitsumi laughed. "I'm sure this will be enough."
"I mean…wow…ah…what do I have to do?" Mumen Rider asked.
"Nothing. It's done," Tangled Vine chuckled.
"Yep! And you don't have to use them until you think you need to. You'll just know. Okay? Oh! If you need any of us, just think to us. We'll help you," Cold Snap smiled. "You helped Mom and Dad when they first met, from what their memories show. We know you're good and won't abuse our help."
"Wow…thank you…" Mumen Rider said with awe. The fans pulled away to go back to their circular sets of ten, and he turned to look at the pouting girl. He walked over to her and offered his arm. "Hey! I'm Mumen Rider. C class and rank 1. Let me escort you home. You can even ride behind me on my bike."
"Oh…" she blinked and let him lead her away.
"Finally!" Saitama growled and was quick to turn and walk into the restaurant. "Absolutely disgusting!"
"Mumen Rider will handle it," Mitsumi smiled. "And who knows? Maybe she'll be his new date?"
"He did catch the garter from your wedding…" Bright Bolt snickered.
"That he did, huh?" Saitama grinned a bit and stood inside the restaurant. He saw Metal Knight's robots working on creating a new pathway down a hallway to where a side entrance would be to a set of elevators. This was right next to the main register on walking in. The hallway now ran alongside the restaurant to attach to the new building behind it. The windows were removed between the hallway and the restaurant, but they were set in the hallway facing the outside now to show it was all part of the same place.
"Maybe we can set up windows to show the hallway from the restaurant," Cold Snap suggested. "We can set up the windows to have certain parts of our elements to help entice people and decide what floor to stay on."
"That would be so neat!" Bright Bolt said and stepped around with excitement. "Oh! We could even have the windows be actual viewing sections to the rooms with neat effects in them! Like a volcano for fire, or a thunderstorm for me! Even the ocean moving for Blue Ripple!"
"That…would be…easy…with gems…" Stable Rock blinked. "I can…drop some…of the…same…coloring…to fill…a window…space…to make…a picture…"
"As though someone was looking outside at those areas of the landscape? Okay. That would be totally awesome. We'll have to work on that on our way out," Saitama grinned. "I don't think we can have spots outside the restaurant to reflect on them, so if you all can provide areas that show off your elements in visions within the gems…yeah. That would work!"
"How did we get all the extra space?! I thought there were small shops around us!" Mitsumi frowned and shook her head. "Did something happen?"
"I pulled a lot of strings," Sweet Mask said from where he stood behind them. "Quite a few small businesses agreed to move to new locations close by. With the restaurant and soon-to-be hotel drawing in even more business for them, it was agreed to. There were a few that were reluctant, but Metal Knight gave an offer to set up a market square. This would include brand new, state of the art designs and electrical fixtures with plumbing."
"Oh! That would be amazing!" Mitsumi gasped.
"I did take the liberty to use some of the prior Monster Association funding for it," Inichi said. "It's still in City Z and used to help monsters gain a foothold."
"Good. I like that," Saitama nodded.
"How much space did we acquire?" Mitsumi asked.
"A quarter mile around the restaurant. We worked with the city and business owners while you were away," Rendor chuckled. "I have all the contracts. We're quite secure."
"Parking is being done shortly, new street routes are being worked on, and we are setting up the rooms now. There will be ten rooms on each floor. So, ten on each side for twenty rooms total for now. This way each room will have a balcony as you requested," Metal Knight said from his hovering robot. "We could expand, but we would have to do a lot of redesigning. This should be good for now unless we decide to do more."
"You didn't have to do all of this," Mitsumi said.
"I know, but Siren was so excited about it! It pleases me to see her so happy," Metal Knight chuckled. "The first room on the base floor will be for Hero Association needs for traveling heroes."
"Can we have two rooms? One on each side of each other and done with a bit more to be like the nicer rooms you mentioned?" the second board member asked. "We can have a punch in to show which hero will be using the room."
"I can see that happening," Kamiko nodded. "They can use specific punch cards at the main desk and again on getting into the room as their way of checking in for your records."
"And if any try to check in without your knowledge, we can help them check out," Genos added with a small nod. "Just send us the information of which hero to expect so we can have the room ready."
"Blue Ripple, can you touch this floor with your element?" Mitsumi smiled.
"Ah! The first floor would be for me. Very well. It shall start the moment one walks down the hallway," Blue Ripple chuckled and focused. The white walls became a vibrant, rich, ocean blue in color. Stable Rock had all the doors decorated with pearl handles, opalescent flooring to represent mother of pearl shells and he had gold streaks going through the walls and flooring.
Tangled Vine focused to have water loving plants appear to enhance the them. Most of the flowers were mainly orchids of all types and colors. They quickly appeared from crevices in the walls. When Blue Ripple had an elegant fountain sprout up from the floor before the elevators with Stable Rock's help, Tangled Vine created fragrant water lilies to decorate it. Moss sprouted up in various areas on the walls to add a bit of greenery safely to almost resemble algae.
Bright Bolt and Cold Snap focused to make the lighting globes to help enhance where people would need to go as they walked to their rooms. Basic light fixtures would be in each room for regular needs, but the lights in the hallway would never go out and also act as a bit of an alarm system to zap or chill intruders. When this was explained, Metal Knight found himself laughing at the idea. Inichi was already mentally chatting with Isobe for the best lighting to use. It was now being purchased and delivered to be installed.
"So pretty!" Mitsumi beamed and giggled at Saitama's squeeze.
"We should have dark green carpeting go through the hallway here. Like a small strip so no one will slip around. We could do moss, but then we'd track plants all over and it wouldn't look good. Even leaving footprints in it would be bad. We should have a carpet runner in all the main areas of traffic, and carpet should be in all the rooms with tiling," Tacki advised. Stable Rock now made a small path through the hallway tile. One of Metal Knight's robots was quick to take out the desired roll of carpeting to put all the way down the path and secure it.
"Good. We don't want people damaging the plants. Even the serving carts," Saitama nodded. "Hmm. Is there a specialized way to get room service to our room on the top floor?"
"It would be the same way as in your house on the hill," Metal Knight confirmed. "You will have a specialized section of the kitchen for your needs."
"Wonderful," Mitsumi smiled. "What do the rooms look like?"
"That's what I wanna know!" Tacki grinned.
"Master Saitama, I was thinking four rooms of basic accommodations, four rooms of upgraded comfort, and two rooms of luxury style on each side," Genos said. "Or we do six rooms of basic accommodations."
"Hmm…" Saitama frowned.
"I would say six rooms for basic, two rooms for upgraded, one room of luxury and the last room for elite," Mitsumi smiled. "However, for the first base floor, I would suggest to add on two additional rooms for Hero Association needs that can be of luxury standards for staying heroes. The payment for them can be deposited into the Neutral Grounds funding. They should only stay in the rooms for the designated amount of time. If they linger in the rooms for more than that, though…"
"Have your system alert me. Or even the association staffing so we can appear and investigate," Sweet Mask nodded. Tajima smiled and nodded with him to show it was a good idea.
"Do we have the space to add them to be right by the elevators? Also, we should have a designated living space for security staff. Maybe even turn it into a bit of a recreational space for employees," Kamiko suggested.
"We can convert a sectioned part of the kitchen for that, and include the security room," Metal Knight said. "Anno and Orotsu have been hinting at a larger kitchen, too, in order to keep to the standards they need. Now with a hotel resort, it will be a definite need. I can work on expanding out the kitchen by an extra thousand feet now to include all of this. We do have the space to work with, and we can have a back swing door appear along a back wall behind the fountain. This will be needed for service staff. I'll ensure to keep a small section for trash collection, though, along the outside."
"Lady Mitsumi, I want to have a private elevator set to be right where you and Saitama sit at the restaurant. This way you don't have to travel the normal paths for paying guests. You'll have a discreet way to get to and from the restaurant. It can be like one of those skylight elevators that lets you see outside them so you can also survey the city while using it. We can even include small windows you can peek through to each floor," Siren said in her gravelly tone. "We can do that, right, Metal Knight?"
"Absolutely, my dear!" Metal Knight chuckled. "I'll also upgrade your key cards to be 'skeleton keys' to everything in the restaurant. They will be fingerprint activated to show who uses them in case of theft. So, only your keys can activate your personal elevator and bedroom floor."
"That would be awesome!" Saitama grinned.
"Thank you so much for everything. I honestly never asked for this…" Mitsumi smiled softly.
"No, Miss Mitsumi. As I said, you are family. And this is the most fun I've ever had!" Metal Knight chuckled.
"More fun than upgrading your main attack robot?" Siren had to giggle.
"That just keeps me in practice," he said to get them all laughing.
"I was thinking that two of the basic rooms can have two beds in them. Same with one of the luxury rooms. The elite rooms will have one bed only," Mitsumi said. "The hero rooms can have two beds in them in case there are multiple heroes on patrol."
"What about mattresses?" Tacki asked while they watched a room get put together swiftly.
"All mattresses should be of the same quality. Same with furniture and showering facilities. The basic rooms don't need as much with a limited variety of items. Of course, televisions will be in each room with usual hotel services. I want all of our guests to be well-rested. We could even have guests log into King's gameplay if he's on at set times with paid spots! I'm sure he'd enjoy that! As for cleaning and maintenance after each room stay…hmm. Tacki, you'll need to be in charge of the cleaning staff," Mitsumi said. "If it's too much for you, you'll need to tell me."
"Ah, Lady Mitsumi? I'll be fine. At least until my pregnancy starts to kick in. Kamikaze won't let me do much of anything when that starts," Tacki sighed.
"She's right. At least anything I know that can hurt her. I may let her do some mild cleaning, but nothing overly intense," Kamikaze nodded. He had her move from his shoulders to settle in his arms. He did notice the ceiling was much higher than normal to accommodate for the monsters that usually travel with them.
"I'm here, my daughter," Wind Crane said when she walked in. She was holding Starlight with her, and she smiled softly. "Zenchu is with the nest. With our main eggs so close to hatching, he insisted. But we are both here to help set up the hotel floors. Fire Flight is on her way, too."
"And here I am," Fire Flight chuckled with Shenjou on her arm. "I was thinking on something, though, Mitsumi."
"What's that?" Mitsumi asked and hugged Starlight. Saitama kept holding Mitsumi, but he was pleased to see them all.
"You have much staffing in your original home, yes? Bring some of them here to help. They are used to such cleaning, and not much happens in your original home," Fire Flight suggested. Mitsumi blinked at that and gestured for Saitama's phone.
"Hello?" Daiki asked on answering the call.
"Daiki! I'm starting up a luxury hotel with the restaurant. I was wondering if some of the cleaning staff we hired would like to work here, too. It will be easy to transport them around," Mitsumi smiled. "See who would like to help? It was mentioned that there really isn't much happening there, and we could really use the help here."
"Really?" Daiki asked with a bit of amusement. It was now explained what happened at the other resort hotel, and he found himself a touch pissed. "I see why it was decided to do this. I'll check with the staff and see who would like to jump over. Would there a bonus in their pay?"
"I can include that, but only if it's agreed on. If they choose to stay and work here, then I can add another raise to their pay. It will be a lot more work, so I would expect no less," Mitsumi said with a hint of caution. "I want them to know that their work and sacrifice is valued. I won't let it go unrewarded."
"Got it! I'll call a mass meeting now and inform. Himiko and Zombieman will be with me. I'll call Uncle Kiyoshi, too. He may have some people he knows of that may want to help you!" Daiki chuckled and hung up the phone.
"We'll need to put in another ad for hiring," Saitama sighed and pocketed his phone. "We'll need the extra people."
"That reminds me. There was the one villain who initially put in for work. The one called Hammerhead. He has been calling us constantly to see if he could work for us," Genos sighed. "Due to his background in being a villain, he was declined. I was just informed he contacted in again."
"Let him take on the role as a dishwasher," Mitsumi nodded. "This will test his resolve, too. He won't work with many people, he can focus on one role and he can improve himself if he shows he can handle that small job. We will need all the help we can get now. If he reverts back to being a villain, well...we do have plenty of heroes around to stop him."
"He's bald, too," Saitama pouted.
"Did you beat him up?" Mitsumi smiled.
"I did…" he said with a small grin.
"Then you can do it again if he tries his luck, right?" she giggled a bit wickedly and laughed at his loving squeeze of affection. "Besides, he's probably not completely hairless. I'll never want to know, but I just need to know that you are the one that was able to rescue me."
"The power suit he was wearing was actually one of my creations," Metal Knight sighed. "How did you destroy it?"
"I punched it. Then it crumbled," Saitama shrugged.
"Of course," Metal Knight sighed with a bit of regret. Siren muted the microphone at his base and turned her chair to look at him.
"What's wrong, dearest?" she frowned in her dulcet tone for him.
"I'm still in shock at how all he has to do is punch something. Anything. And it's destroyed," he sighed and shook his head.
"Do we dare let him see your main attack robot?" she grinned.
"No!" he said quickly to watch her laugh. "He can't even get hurt by lava! A rocket may just piss him off. It may only slow him down, but only at best. I watched how he squeezed a bullet from Death Gatling's gun and let it explode in his hand. It did nothing to him at all."
"Oh…" she blinked her glowing green eyes.
"It would be a fool's errand to cross him even once," he admitted.
"Don't worry, Bofoi. I'll protect you against him. I'll just ask Lady Mitsumi for help," she winked.
"She is definitely the only thing that helps keep him in line," he chuckled. He watched her get up from the chair to move and settle in his lap.
"Do I keep you in line?" she had to ask. He gave her a look that had her laughing sharply.
"You do enough," he said to her snickering form.
"Metal Knight!" Mitsumi was heard from the robot's speakers. He was quick to unmute and lean forward to address her. He kept Siren's form in his lap, though, to show he wasn't done with her.
"How can I assist?" he asked.
"I think it would be a wonderful part of each hotel floor to have a small bit of each element appear by each elevator entrance. Just like how Blue Ripple has a fountain here. What do you think?" Mitsumi asked.
"That would be something to consider," Metal Knight mused. "Yes. That would be easy to display a small showcase to signal what elemental floor is currently being looked at."
"That will be easy to display a small portion of who guards that floor, too," Wind Crane chuckled. "I can easily create a small, stationary tornado in a small setup. Of course, we should have safety measures to ensure none can get too close. Even though it can be stationary…it can still cause damage."
"Dry bramble with intense thorns will always work," Tangled Vine said. "Even cactus plants. I can set that up now, actually. Small benches to set around them would be good, too."
"I can see that. Maybe a spot for pictures," Garou grinned.
"Oh! Maybe, instead of seeing various lands for the elements, the restaurant can display the elemental structures here! It can still be just like it, and it can show what floor has which element," Mitsumi beamed.
"I like that," Saitama said and kissed her forehead. "Okay. Let's take a look at the inside of a room."
"The room for the Hero Association is ready on the right side. It will have the basic setup," Metal Knight said. Saitama walked in with Mitsumi in his arms to carry her. He was holding her the whole time this way, and the basic furnishings were looked over.
"Hmm…" Tacki frowned when she walked in. "We should have the furniture resemble the elements, too. Basic stuff is boring stuff."
"These chairs are mainly metal in design. I cannot alter them. We can create what we need to bring in later?" Tangled Vine asked.
"That's fine," Mitsumi said. Stable Rock sighed and thought. Then he looked at Fire Flight for a small idea.
"Oh? I think I can…" she mused and walked over to study the basic chair. "So, I soften it, you tell me how to shape it…?"
"I can give you some intricate ideas," Blue Ripple chuckled.
"Inichi, please levitate this?" Fire Flight asked.
"I can do so," Inichi nodded and lifted the chair in a blue bubble. "I am guessing that I need to also ensure nothing molten hits the floor?"
"That would be ideal," Fire Flight chuckled and focused to start making the chair glow red hot. The board members could only stare with shock at what they were witnessing now. Fire Flight got the mental image design from Blue Ripple and began to work the chair into the form of a scalloped shell. The base of the chair seating was removed carefully to keep from catching fire, and Wind Crane cooled the newly redone chair down.
There were several looped areas that were empty from the top of the shell design, and Stable Rock had several opalescent pieces come up from the floor. They were carefully form-fitted through their travel to pop into the spaces perfectly. Now the bronze metal chair had an antiqued design with a shell scallop, and the legs were lightly curled up at the base, yet flat to remain stable.
"That's perfect!" Mitsumi said with a bit of surprised delight.
"I can take that and have my robots make replicas fairly easily now. Did we want to do the same with the tables?" Metal Knight asked.
"Tables can be made of the same metal, but slate on top. Maybe the same as the flooring in the hallway?" Blue Ripple asked.
"Set…the stone…and I…can change…it…" Stable Rock nodded.
"This is so much fun!" Mitsumi giggled softly.
"That it is," Saitama nodded and watched the furniture get redone before their eyes. My bedroom is going to look amazing! I can't wait to see what the rest of the floors are going to look like now!
