"Wind Crane Clan Mother wasted no time! We need to section off this display!" Mitsumi said at the sight of the stationary, miniature tornado that was outside the elevators. Stable Rock and Cold Snap were quick to form a barrier of rock and ice-like glass. Tangled Vine focused to make a thorny circle around it so others wouldn't get too close for safety. Mitsumi smiled and nodded. "Good! We may need to do the same thing with the party room. Maybe we can have the walls and floor be misted over like walking on clouds! Wind is also air, so that could work!"
"I like that idea. Let's do that," Saitama chuckled. Tangled Vine yawned and continued to stay curled up on the top of his head. He had even made the base of his paws have a suction cup-like grip like a gecko.
"Master Saitama, I am patched into a call right now to start up the system we need for pricing. I must have finalized pricing on the rooms we were discussing," Genos said while walking with them. "This can also include options for purchase."
"Okay," Saitama nodded. "I was thinking of this to stick with what we already disclosed. The base rooms are a hundred yen a night with very basic room furnishings. The upgraded rooms are three hundred yen a night with a bit more furnishings for longer stays. Like an extra couch, table and chair set. Luxury rooms can range around six hundred yen per night. They can have furniture of intense comfort, plush couches, and maybe up to three sets of furniture.
"Those rooms are larger, too, so it would work. I think they have an extra bedroom and living area with a bathroom. The basic and upgraded rooms just have the single room with the bathroom off the side like a usual apartment setup. The elite rooms would have three rooms to them, from what we saw, with a large bathroom and internal spa for their bathtub. I think the elite rooms had a bedroom, main room and kitchen with the bathroom. Bathrooms are not counted as extra rooms, just so we're clear.
"The luxury and elite rooms also have like, special bathroom soaps, upgraded television rights to watch King game and other stuff with some free room service needs. Of course, basic and upgraded rooms would have to pay extra to watch King game or get other options. Those wouldn't be included in that package room. And to watch King game, I'd say that would be an extra fifty yen to purchase. This would include a code to enter to join his channel, and it can be changed nightly depending on when he's on, of course. And, no, guests will not be able to join him in his gaming. That is something separate for restaurant raffles. Unless he wants to have that. That's his call.
"The elite rooms can only be rented at a thousand yen a night. Those have spas built in and other specialty things. This includes a complete gourmet menu. If they want other stuff off the menu, though, that's on them. As always, if people want to purchase the rooms for longer stays, no more than a week at a time. This ensures that other guests will get a chance to stay in a room. We may be able to put in some discounted stuff for that to make it worthwhile. Maybe include a code for King's channel that won't expire nightly, but lasts the length of their stay. I can see that happening."
"I'm impressed by all of this! And I really like how you are stating everything," Mitsumi nodded with a beaming smile. Metal Knight was listening in carefully from his hovering robot, and Siren was taking notes for him. Inichi was mentally informing King and Kianna of the gaming rates from where they were at their apartment room, and they both thought it was a great idea to do. King mentally suggested to let guests game with him, but it would be a hundred yen to purchase that option unless in a luxury option deal or elite room price setup. This was quickly noted and informed to the others.
"Setting up a set of codes for King's possible channel is easy. I can handle that," Metal Knight chuckled from the hovering robot.
"Great! And if King wants to do it, then that's fine. Anyways, when we get to the 8th floor, the base rooms will be at two thousand yen a night. The upgraded rooms will be four thousand yen. The luxury rooms will be eight thousand yen. The elite rooms will be ten thousand yen. That's Stable Rock's floor, so you know he's gonna be redoing all of those rooms to have complete wealth everywhere. Not so much for the basic rooms, but they'd still be on that floor with the same design and furnishings. I was thinking the more expensive the room the higher the price, like the others, but more wealth is shown from the walls with the extra furnishings," Saitama explained. "We will need a lot of monitoring on those floors, too, in case someone tries to steal a gem. As if it would matter, but we don't want it to happen, anyways. Of course, that party room should be five thousand yen a day to rent out."
"I can understand that," Inichi fully agreed.
"The 9th floor will have those rooms at seventy-five thousand yen a night. No exceptions on that. Those rooms are getting decked out with tons of wealth and elemental designs from all the GOD monsters. They will have all the luxury room items with other special benefits if noted beforehand. Not after. We need to know if anything has to be ready or specialized for those rooms. If something is within their budget for the room, we can make the change. Any changes after is on them if it's considered an extra expense.
"There shouldn't be a party room on that floor, either. But, maybe we can make it a bit of luxury dining room. Like how Mitsumi has it in her childhood home. Stable Rock's floor can be the party room for the 9th floor. Maybe we can have an added thing of dinner with Mitsumi and I in the luxury dining room to show it's an exclusive event that's included in the package deal. Only for one night out of their stay, of course. I can see that happening. Maybe a breakfast or a meal with another S class hero of their choosing with anything they want from the restaurant menu. We'll hash that out when the time comes," Saitama chuckled.
"The board members like that. We'll work that into a contract for sure," Inichi chuckled. Rendor smiled and nodded at the idea.
"If anyone wants to eat with me, it won't be alone. Rendor needs to be with me," Tatsumaki said. Rendor kissed her softly to show he was in complete agreement. Kamikaze nodded when Tacki leaned into him.
"Yeah, it would have to be included that partnered or married heroes would have to have their significant others with them," Saitama agreed and looked over to see Anno walking over from the elevators. "Hey. Everything fine?"
"I was busy cooking and something came to my mind rather suddenly. I can't ignore it. Miss Mitsumi, I need to ask you something," Anno said. Mitsumi looked at him to nod. "I recall there were times I found my kitchen…used. After your father was murdered, that is. No one in my kitchen was in there, and the security staff had all been removed. No video recordings, of course, from them being let go. Do you happen to know who it was that used the kitchen?"
"I do. It was me," she said softly. "Recall the meals I had with pet food. I had to cook my own meals. I had no means to cook in my room. So I stayed up until late at night to do it. I knew I'd leave a small mess, but…what other choice did I have? It was the only time I could do it, too."
"And that's also why some of my recipe books were out, too! I didn't find any food missing, but…well, you were getting your own," he said with a pained look. "If I only knew. I should have stayed up one of those nights."
"I didn't want you to chase me out of the kitchen. I wouldn't know if you would have asked why I was there to begin with. I mean…if we were alone in the kitchen with none hearing us…I might have been able to explain myself. And my fears. But…one never knows if anyone else would have happened by us and overheard us," she smiled softly. Then she frowned a bit to make him grimace. Saitama's eyes narrowed slightly, but he knew she wasn't hurting. This is all memories. Something else I didn't know about. Crap…
"True. Damn! Now I've upset you! We can't have that. Hmm. I know you love Master Orotsu's takoyaki dishes. And what I can make, too, with your chocolate cakes. Yeah…I wonder if I can make a takoyaki molten lava cake…" he mused. That got her beaming with delight. "I'll do some experimenting now."
"Please do!" she giggled. She watched him leave, and she noticed that Saitama looked pissed. "I know. It's all good now."
"I know that. Just the fact that it happened," he grunted and kissed her passionately. "Let's get this floor done. What type of furniture?"
"Let's go with white slate tabletops, sky blue bases for the chairs and tables, and white cream colored furniture. The chairs and couches can be the same pearl white coloring as the walls and intensely plush. The bed can have a soft, silvery tone like the silver line of clouds for the sheets," Inichi suggested. "A cloud and air theme for this floor is absolutely perfect."
"I can make the mist easily," Blue Ripple chuckled.
"I can…create…the stone…needed…" Stable Rock snorted and yawned.
"What should the doorknobs be?" Cold Snap asked.
"Let's go with white gold and diamonds," Mitsumi smiled. "No one has to know that the gold or gems are real. And think on this. All the gems in the doors come from Stable Rock. They act like small cameras for us."
"I can see that," Saitama grinned. He pressed a loving kiss to her mouth and studied her when she grimaced. "Hmm? What's wrong?"
"I think I need to eat something," she swallowed. Cold Snap presented a small sandwich to her. It was large enough for her to share with Saitama, and it curbed most of her current hunger. "I'll need more later."
"No. You need to eat now," Fire Flight said. "The fire within you is demanding this. We cannot delay."
"My son is telling her that he's hungry? Huh. Okay. Um…" Saitama frowned and chuckled at an apartment room that was pointed at by her.
"I suppose we can decorate the room while I eat," Mitsumi smiled and got carried into it.
"We can test the system for room service," Inichi said and mentally informed Orotsu. "He'll prepare something now."
"Saitama…" Mitsumi seemed to wince when they got into the room.
"What? What's going on?" he asked. He found himself silenced by the hungry kiss she gave him now. He paused with a bit of recognition. "You're starting to act like how I was when I needed you for three days. This is bad. We have to finish this hotel. We have to double-time it. Or, better yet, get that cart. Now. This way I can be with her in it, and we can peek out to approve things."
"Zenchu's with Wind Crane. Who'll move the cart around?" Tacki frowned.
"I need to work with Lily," Garou frowned.
"I want to help, but I don't think I'm tall enough," Cold Snap sighed.
"I got this," Bright Bolt said and moved off a bit to shift into his human form. He walked over to nod. "I'll push them around. Where's their cart thing?"
"I got it," Cold Snap said from the image Inichi showed him. It was quick to appear from an ice blue spark, and Saitama had Mitsumi get into with him. Tangled Vine had to jump off Saitama's head for now, but he curled up on top of the cart to help protect it. Overgrown Rover whined, but it would join them inside when it knew it was safe. The curtains were quickly closed, and the others got to work on the hotel floor to get it done.
"Easy," Saitama whispered after helping her give in to the fiery need that was eating at her. "It's okay…"
"I'm going…to be mad…if this is…another type of…craving…" she grimaced. He blinked at that and sighed with a soft chuckle.
"I'm perfectly fine with it. Okay? We'll just hang out in here with a blanket over us. We can stay dressed with the tops of our costumes on and keep ourselves like this just fine," he soothed and kissed her passionately. He ensured the blanket was over them up to their hips to show he was planning to stay with her.
"I'm sorry…if it is…" she whispered. Now he looked at her sternly.
"Do. Not. Say. Sorry. Okay?" he said slowly and carefully. "I told you. It's fine. We will work with this. We will do this together. You were with me and my hell for three days. If your hell lasts over nine months or less, then it's fine. I will be right there with you the moment you need me. And it just proves that no one else is suitable for you. Only me."
"I love you," she whimpered softly and pressed into him.
"I love you, too," he smiled and kissed her forehead. He cradled her and muttered softly, "It's okay now. Just rest with me here. We'll get fed soon. We'll still see what's going on. Bright Bolt agreed to move us around. So don't worry, okay? It's fine. There's nothing wrong."
"Okay…" she sighed and nestled into him with complete exhaustion. He ran a hand over her belly and paused. Then she blinked awake with shock.
"Did he…move…?!" he asked and sat up to inspect her again.
"I did feel something! Kamiko!" Mitsumi said after pulling the curtains apart. "I need you! Now!"
"Lady Mitsumi?!" Kamiko asked and rushed over.
"I felt my son move," Saitama said and pointed at where he felt it. She moved her hand over Mitsumi's belly carefully and gasped when she felt the small movement. She was shaking with complete shock.
"Lady Mitsumi…" she said with a hushed whisper. "With this…I mean…"
"What is it?!" Saitama finally had to ask.
"Your son is officially over five weeks old in growth," she managed to say carefully. "With how she is right now…she should not be traveling at all unless she's like this with you. I've never heard of such growth or seen such growth. It's just like how Dr. Kuseno warned us. We'll need to have her under strict watch for the next few weeks to see how much faster he grows."
"We figured this might happen. But…okay. Let us know when the food's here," he nodded and let her close the curtains. Then he looked at Mitsumi with a form of excitement. "Our son moved! He moved! Our baby moved, Mitsumi!"
"He did," Mitsumi blushed and laughed softly at his protective squeeze.
"I wanna feel him move again!" he grinned and pressed his palm to her belly. "Oh! He did! Awesome!"
"Saitama…" she sighed and let him kiss her with an intense show of love.
"We have to think of a name. Don't we?" he smiled.
"Yeah. We can come up with a list of names. We can do that," she nodded.
"That we can. When we get home, though. This is so exciting!" he beamed and let her cuddle into him. He looked over when Overgrown Rover jumped in to join them. It mouthed at his hand to ensure it was securely on her belly before leaning into them both. Saitama grinned and carefully moved away his hand for the monster dog to rest directly against her. Then it blinked all six eyes and turned at the odd movement it detected. "That's my baby, doggy! He's moving!"
It huffed, yapped with excitement and licked at them both constantly until it got pushed away gently. Saitama replaced his hand and found himself laughing softly at the movement still going on.
"Is my brother really moving?!" Cold Snap asked when he looked in now.
"He is!" Mitsumi chuckled. Now everyone had to check her and feel for the slight movement. Tacki was now arranging for a small nursery section in the penthouse and the fourth floor apartment. When several trays of food showed up with Cold Snap's help, Mitsumi was the first one to eat. Then it was the other expecting mothers. After that, the rest of the group was able to eat their fill. Cold Snap sent back the empty trays quickly, and they got back to work.
"Okay. We got the furniture sorted out, right?" Saitama asked.
"Yes. We also set up the party room, too, to stabilize the small tornado left there. It has the same barrier setup as the one at the elevators. Stable Rock left a diamond with orange coloring at the base of the tornado in the party room, too. We have another diamond sphere over it like the other party rooms. Blue Ripple has the entire hallway and party room filled with mist that will never vanish away. We also set the main hallway and party room walls with pearl white coloring and silver swirls," Inichi told them calmly. "The main tile is white marble, and we have a light grey carpet runner going straight down."
"The lights in the hallways are the same? The lightning and ice spheres?" Mitsumi asked and finished a takoyaki ice cream dish.
"Yep! That will be a staple on each floor," Cold Snap nodded. He peeked into the push cart and asked, "Do you think I can get in, too?"
"We're a bit loaded with the pets, but…hmm. Maybe if you shrink smaller?" Saitama thought aloud. Cold Snap shrunk his size down a good foot and a half and got helped in by Bright Bolt. Tangled Vine, Blue Ripple and Stable Rock looked at each other and snickered.
"Are you seriously gonna have me push all of you around?!" Bright Bolt gaped at the tiny pets now climbing into the push cart. "This is so unfair."
"So cute!" Mitsumi laughed at the snuggling pets.
"Less complaining! More pushing!" Saitama shouted out with a wicked grin. "We have more floors to work on!"
"Master Saitama, allow me to do this," Genos said.
"Nope. Bright Bolt offered first. This is his job," Saitama said sternly. "And you have to care for Kamiko."
"Is Suiryu busy?" Kamikaze asked Inichi. Fubuki was laughing softly at the whole thing before looking over at the elevators with surprise. Inichi darted a quick thought to Mitsumi with complete amusement.
"I'm feeling better. I'll help them," Jumpstart said and walked over. "I was in the kitchen when Suiryu mentioned something from what was told to him."
"Saitama. It's your new disciple…" Mitsumi said with a soft chuckle.
"What? No! He's supposed to be resting!" Saitama growled. "Either that or going to the Hero Association to get ranked in!"
"Master Saitama, he is registered now. He also spoke with the board members in the restaurant," Genos said while crouching low to talk to them.
"He should be helping in the kitchen, then. Not here," he grounded out slowly. Bright Bolt was listening in to the audible and mental conversations calmly. Then he looked at Jumpstart with a small smirk.
"You need to go back down to the restaurant and help. There's more than enough assistance here. And if you don't do what your master is telling you, I will have to enforce his decision. I work with lightning. And this building has tons of electric cabling running through it. Please go back down to the restaurant and help the kitchen," Bright Bolt said calmly. He blinked his glowing, electric blue eyes and watched the new disciple get ready to argue.
"I should be working with Master Saitama directly! Not catering to any others! Ow!" Jumpstart hissed at the static zap to his arm.
"Suiryu is also Master Saitama's disciple. He is working in the kitchen and enjoys the exercise he gets from it. It helps tone him in stamina and build dexterity. You should seek him out and copy his routine. He is also in A class rank. I am in S class. The first thing to do in order to start any training is to listen to what our master requires. Please do as he says before he loses favor with you," Genos said carefully to show he was serious.
"Eh…well…" Jumpstart grimaced. "Fine. But if you need me…!"
"We shall summon you," Genos nodded and watched the young man leave. Saitama gave a hard sigh of relief and rested his head against Mitsumi's neck.
"I hate disciples…" he muttered to her.
"I know, dear," she smiled and kissed his forehead. Stable Rock yawned and curled up at the front of the push cart to be the first thing seen. Cold Snap was laying back against the wall of the cart with a plush pillow on Mitsumi's side. Blue Ripple snuggled into Mitsumi's side. Overgrown Rover kept itself stretched over them to keep Saitama's hand on her belly. Tangled Vine curled up against Saitama's side with complete comfort.
"Too. Many. Pets," Saitama grunted and glanced at his monster dog. It huffed at him, and Cold Snap started to laugh. Now Saitama looked over and asked, "Did my dog just insult me?"
"No. It just said to put up with us!" his son grinned. Saitama was about to respond to it, but he noticed Garou peeking in with a mischievous smile.
"I had a question," Garou started.
"What?" Saitama asked with a blank stare.
"Should we get Jumpstart and Charanko to meet?" he asked. Mitsumi died laughing at the idea. Bane looked over with complete shock. Kamikaze rose a brow and grinned widely.
"They need to color something if they do," Kamikaze snickered.
"I can work on another picture when we get back home," Genos agreed. Tacki and Kamiko were leaning on each other weakly from laughing so hard.
"I think Jumpstart would know what he's coloring in. But…he also doesn't get a clue from what I've seen. I'd say to go for it," Bright Bolt mused with a slight grin. "Anyways, we done with this floor?"
"Yep! Next one!" Tacki grinned. Fire Flight mused that it would be her turn next to decorate the floor, and they all moved into the elevator.
"An idea. Let my volcanic structures heat this building," Fire Flight chuckled. "This can include hot water, warm air and even cooking in the kitchen for natural fire. What do you think?"
"I think that would be perfect," Shenjou grinned lightly.
"That would work beautifully," Inichi agreed.
"I can…create…stone…to withstand…heat…" Stable Rock said when he poked his head out of the push cart. "That…is easy…"
"Orotsu is demanding a type of kiln in the kitchen for quick cooking," Inichi said with a soft laugh. "We'll get on it the moment we are done with the floors."
"Oh! Fire Flight! You can fix up my blacksmith spot for a good furnace, right?" Tacki beamed. Fire Flight laughed and nodded to show it would be done rather easily. "The things I can create! But! I still have to finish the fans! I'm almost done with the first set of each of them. If they work out, I can do the rest."
"Good," Kamikaze nodded and helped lead the others out to the fourth floor. Fire Flight focused to build up a miniature volcano, and Stable Rock had to move out of the push cart to help with protective rock. Cold Snap ended up joining them to ensure there would be a cooling barrier at all times to keep the heat and lava contained. The four foot wide volcano was now glowing and smoking with a touch of ash in the air. It quickly caused some concern on the air quality.
"We need to make a vent over the volcano for this air to go outside," Inichi said. Stable Rock focused on the piping he had already made to quickly alter one of them for this task. Another one was set to go into the party room for the other volcano when it was created.
"Saitama?" Mitsumi murmured against his neck. He had her laying against him in the push cart, and he glanced at her with a warm smile.
"Hmm?" he pressed a kiss to her forehead.
"I think I'm good now. I should be able to walk around," she smiled.
"Nah. We're fine here. Maybe we should get a window with feather curtains in here…" he thought aloud. She glanced at him with surprise.
"I need to walk around now," she said. Blue Ripple glanced at Saitama, blinked his solid white eyes and rested his head against Mitsumi's shoulder. Then he started to purr deeply. Tangled Vine stretched against Saitama and gave out his own purr of comfort. Overgrown Rover licked its chops lightly and sighed with complete contentment while laying on them to show it wasn't moving. Now she looked at the pets and rolled her eyes.
"See? They're comfy, too. We're fine here. We'll just keep the curtains in the front open so we can see what's going on. They can't see us and just our upper bodies like I wanted. We're good here," Saitama smiled and kissed her gently.
"I suppose," she sighed with a touch of defeat. He grinned and kissed her passionately. Cold Snap caught his dad's thoughts and opened the curtains up for them to view out. Stable Rock whined and was quick to climb back into the push cart. He hunkered down at the entrance of it with complete contentment, and he even made a small hollow to the bottom of the cart within the pillows and blankets.
"See? As much as we have too many pets, I know for a fact that nothing will disturb us. Because they'll get disturbed first and kill off the disturbance fast for us," Saitama nodded. Then he blinked and reached down to pull out a sparkling, fiery blue star sapphire that was suddenly underneath him. He looked over at Stable Rock to find out that his pet monster was silently filling up the push cart with wealth. "My pet stays in here. This is epic."
"Stable Rock! Are you really going to have us lay down on a bunch of sharp rocks?!" Mitsumi blinked at him. Stable Rock snickered and gave her a cute tilt of his head. Then he winked a glowing amber eye in a playful way. She groaned and lay back with complete disbelief.
"Lady Mitsumi?" Tacki asked when she glanced in.
"My cart is getting filled up with gems. Lots of gems. I'm not complaining," Saitama grinned. Tacki started laughing before pausing at an idea.
"Stable Rock, can I get a few blood rubies of various sizes? I have an idea of what to do with them later. I'll need a few really rare gems for your fans," she grinned widely. Stable Rock was quick to have them form and give over. "Thanks! I'll make a pouch to hold these. Anyways, we're gonna do red slate tile with gold flecks in it for the hallway floor with a dark red carpet runner down the middle. I'm thinking gold and ruby handles for the apartment doors."
"We should do furniture that resemble flames," Garou suggested.
"That would be so cool!" Tacki grinned.
"Eh…kinda obvious…but…I don't think we really have any other options. Oh! Make the beds waterbeds, but themed to look like a pool of lava," Saitama grinned. That got Fire Flight laughing with delight at the idea. "The furniture can have gold bases with dark red cushioning."
"Can we get some of this furniture for our apartment homes?" Fubuki asked when she peered into the push cart.
"Oh, we definitely can!" Mitsumi giggled.
"Should we have airbeds on the air themed floor?" Lily asked.
"Nope. Leave it as regular mattresses. Airbeds can leak and be a big mess. The mattresses should make one feeling like sleeping on air in texture," Tacki nodded. "I've worked with airbeds before. Absolute pain to work with! Waterbeds are easier to work with than airbeds, if you want my honest opinion."
"Huh. Okay. I didn't know," Lily said.
"If you wanna test it, I can set you up with an airbed in your apartment at home. You can help test if an airbed is just as good as a waterbed," Tacki smiled. Lily was delighted at this, and even Garou was curious. Bright Bolt was moving the push cart down the hallway, and this gave everyone a chance to see how a serving cart would likely move.
Fire Flight was able to fix up the party room with a larger volcano as the centerpiece, and she created a raised platform within the volcano. This was for the massive, fiery red diamond that Stable Rock created for it. She was able to easily set it into the volcano for viewing on all sides. Lava was able to create a protective barrier around it, and a safety barrier was now set around the volcano to keep guests from trying to touch it. Another sparkling diamond ball was set to hang over the volcano, and the air vents were set to keep the air pure.
"We have small diamonds set up in the walls?" Cold Snap asked. He was still in a small stature in case he wanted to rejoin with his parents.
"Yes. This floor is done," Fire Flight nodded. "The other rooms are set?"
"Yes. I have furniture and fixtures set in place," Metal Knight said from his hovering robot. "Hmm…"
"Oh? Is there really another one trying to infiltrate to where we are?" Inichi frowned. "It appears to be a bit of a challenge in status to see Mr. Saitama now."
"What's this?" Saitama asked. He looked at his pet and said, "Stable Rock, what are they talking about?!"
"Many…want…to see…you…and…learn…from…you…" the earth monster snorted with distaste.
"Why are they coming here?" Mitsumi asked softly. "We don't normally announce where we are."
"Your…new…disciple…is to…blame…" Stable Rock growled. "Can I…smack…him…with…a rock…?"
"What did he do?" Saitama asked with a narrowed gaze.
"He bragged that he was your disciple while at the Hero Association," Blue Ripple said and sighed. "I pity that one."
"Get him back up here. Now," Saitama ordered.
"Why?" Mitsumi asked.
"To tell him how displeased I am with him. And I plan to have him do a challenge quest for me," Saitama grinned. "If he doesn't do it right, then he has to run through my track with all of my pets chasing him as punishment."
"What will he do?" Tangled Vine snickered darkly.
"You'll find out when he gets here. Let's go up to the next floor first, though. That one is dreams, and I wanna see what Starlight did for it," Saitama nodded. "Bright Bolt! Next floor, please!"
"Right," the humanoid lightning monster chuckled softly.
"I could speak with Jumpstart," Genos said. "I can inquire on why he said what he did. I am unsure why he would feel a need to brag, though."
"Genos, even you were a bit like him when you started being Saitama's disciple, though. Right?" Kamiko smiled. Genos blinked and thought back. Then he sighed and nodded. "He's likely just as excited as you were! But I don't think you openly bragged about being Saitama's disciple."
"That I did not. I only stated that I was with a sense of honor when I was asked if I was. I even questioned if others wanted to do the same. Not once did I tell others that I was his disciple so openly and challenged others to try. I can see why Master Saitama is a bit…upset," Genos sighed. "I shall do what I can to assist as much as I can."
"We'll need to see about dinner later, then. I'm sure it's not too much longer here, but it does make me wonder about the menu," Bane chuckled.
"Hmm. Zenchu still needs to cook me dinner," Garou frowned in thought.
"Inichi, have Zenchu cook all of us dinner!" Saitama grinned.
"He just said an expletive word at you," Inichi sighed and laughed. "Mentally, of course, in response."
"I dare him to do it. Because I think he'll fail," Bright Bolt smirked. Inichi pursed his lips together and focused to send the message.
"He said you're on. He had cooked for Lady Mitsumi before, and he actually did have some intricate cooking skills. This was before we met Orotsu, of course. So, he graciously accepts your challenge. And this will complete his debt to Garou, too," Inichi chuckled softly. Fubuki found herself a bit curious on what was going to be made.
"He did make us the teriyaki lobster and beef," Mitsumi smiled.
"That was from Orotsu's instructions. This would be all him," Inichi reminded her gently.
"Good. Have my newest disciple join us on the next floor. Let's move," Saitama said and pulled Mitsumi back to him. I want her to rest. I want to smack around Jumpstart. But I think I know what to do for his challenge from me. And I know he's going to hate it. His fault for opening his big mouth. I don't want any others coming to me. Not now. I'd say not ever, but…eh…Mitsumi is right. We do need strong heroes. I'd rather make sure they train well, anyways, but only when my dojo is ready. Only after that building is done…hmm…may have to work on that after the hotel. Damn. I'll talk about it with the others when we get home.
