Stable Rock was still in his human form to help bring Honda's decaying body to them. It was decided that they couldn't remove the tattered uniform for now, but a fresh set of clothes was ready in case clothing couldn't come back. Even Chulz had warned that clothing may not be restored.
"It focuses on flesh. Not covering," Chulz nodded.
"Can we wrap her body in a sheet?" Kamiko asked.
"It is advised not to. In fact, I would prefer to have the extra cloth removed to avoid it from possibly merging in with the reforming flesh," Chulz admitted.
"I can handle that," Metal Knight said. He was soon sending out several robots that worked with intense surgical precision. "I have Miss Honda's body in a lab here. Give me five minutes?"
"Of course," Mitsumi nodded. Saitama was holding her incredibly close, and she noticed he was starting to look tense. She tapped on his chest with a small frown to show she was concerned.
"Just…apart for too long…" he seemed to grumble.
"Oh?" she frowned.
"It's weird," he sighed and squeezed her. "I'm starting think that I have to be with you all the time for our son. I'm getting that vibe…like the bedroom days. Just…starting to feel very…irritated."
"Oh. Do you think you can hold out?" she asked.
"I don't know…" he muttered.
"Master! Is everything well?" Genos asked and paused at the glare of intense irritation that he was greeted with. On scanning his master's body, he froze with complete recognition. Even more was the dull glow that started to come forth from Saitama's body.
"Yeah. Just peachy…" Saitama grounded out.
"Hmm. Well, this attitude of yours just won't do," Mitsumi clucked her tongue. "I suppose you need to take an edge off?"
"I guess…" he seemed to shrug. Stable Rock snorted and focused for a small stone chamber to rise up over them. "Oh."
"Our pets have us covered. Of course, I was thinking of my fans levitating us, but this is just as good. Or we can get that push cart?" she smiled.
"The push cart! Yes! We need that! This way I can be with you and still see what's up! Where is it?!" he asked. The stone chamber crumbled away, and Zenchu was quick to present the luxurious push cart.
"Get that other one! I want Bright Bolt to eat his words that my cart is slower than the one Stable Rock made!" Tacki said. "That means he has to push my cart while Zenchu pushes the other one. And I want Genos in them to help calculate the speed. He can help really tell whose is faster or moves smoother."
"Ah…" Bright Bolt blinked his glowing electric blue eyes. "Damn! I did say that. Didn't I?"
"Yes you did!" Tacki pouted at him.
"Do that after I'm with Mitsumi," Saitama said with a bit more irritation. That had Tacki move to swiftly inspect the golden push cart. She gestured for the two of them to get in, and the cover of the push cart came down to secure itself to hide them away.
"I'm right here," Mitsumi whispered.
"So am I," Saitama growled and gave her a branding kiss of solid need. She was a bit surprised at this mood of his, but she also knew that this was supposed to be an uninterrupted day of relaxation. His body clearly needed something like this, too. I'll have to do this with him once a week to keep both him and Takaki calmed.
:I understand, Lady Mitsumi.: Inichi said on reading her thoughts. :We shall make this into an utmost priority.:
:I only worry if it intensifies with Takaki's growth. Please have Fire Flight keep a close eye on his development?: Mitsumi suggested.
:I shall!: Inichi vowed. :In fact, I can assist more this way in my human form. Let me see…oh…:
:Inichi?: Mitsumi mentally frowned.
:Takaki is forcing Mr. Saitama to take on the defensive stand point to always be close to you. It appears that, well, if he cannot cause you a form of distress, which he definitely shouldn't, then he will require his father to be the form of need. None would question Mr. Saitama, anyways, but you may want to let him know when the time is right.: Inichi sighed mentally. Mitsumi groaned and gasped when her husband brought her to a pinnacle peak of pleasuring need.
"Saitama…" she murmured and ran her hands along his back. He had hastily removed his shirt in his efforts to get closer, and now he gazed at her.
"Hmm?" he smiled and kissed her temple.
"Takaki…is doing things to you…since he can't do things to me…" she winced. "Inichi found out."
"What?!" Saitama blinked. Then he felt several hard kicks against him from his son. He narrowed his eyes and bent low to her belly. "Takaki, I'm getting mad at you. Very mad."
At more kicks given, he sighed hard and thought. :Takaki! You need to stop this! This is not good!:
:But…:
:I know! We need to be alone with you. Things are happening. We need to see something happen. Then we will be alone with you again. You cannot keep doing this! This makes me very angry!:
:Trouble?:
:Yes! You are getting into trouble now!:
:No! Um…:
:If you want to be good, then you need to let us do what we need to do. I know. I will always know. You want us to always give you attention. But we can't do that all the time. You need to grow. You need to get stronger. But you can't keep forcing us to do what you want us to do. You are growing very fast. All you have to do is rest and grow. Okay?:
:No trouble?:
:Only if you do as I say. If you make it so that I can't do what I need to do, then that is bad and gets you in trouble. Same thing if you do this to your mother. I know you want to help us. But this doesn't help. It makes things bad.:
:Oh.:
:Let us do what we need to do and I will play with you more. Okay, Takaki?: Saitama asked. At the consenting kick he was given, he now let out his own groan of disbelief. "I wonder if it's possible to spank my son while still in the womb. What's that look for?"
"You will do no such thing!" Mitsumi growled. "Our son will learn and grow. You will not punish him while he is still inside me. Now, you can tell him he's in trouble and not play with him. That will make him see a form of reason."
"Ah! Withhold playtime! Okay. If he makes me mad again, I'll bring that up," Saitama nodded with agreement. He opened the window of the luxurious push cart to see outside. Flipping a switch for a microphone, he said, "Are we ready to see how this works?"
"We have been ready," Dr. Kuseno said from where he stood by the ship. He had gone over the decaying body to ensure no clothing was located on it with the robots. Child Emperor was also on standby to watch the power grids. Metal Knight had a robot with a five foot long tray come out with the body laid out on it. The smell of decay was horrific, but Mitsumi's fans were quick to appear to help air the scent away. Now that the body was exposed to the elements, it seemed to be decomposing even faster.
"The ship is ready," Chulz said and activated a portable keypad. The doors opened for the chair within to stretch out. "Place the body on it so a sitting position will be done. This will help."
"Of course," Metal Knight said. There was a specialized sheet on the tray the body was laid out on, and it was carefully moved onto the chair. Then the sheet was pulled away to free the body. The ship retracted the chair, the doors sealed up and now it started to hum. This showed the process started and was clearly in motion.
"Now we must wait a week," Chulz chuckled.
"Good. I need to get back into the penthouse bedroom," Saitama said.
"Not yet!" Tacki said. "Bright Bolt! Get ready to push that cart!"
"Really, Tacki?" Mitsumi sighed.
"Lady Mitsumi, you should know me by now," Tacki said with a small grin.
"I can have a robot sit in the cart," Metal Knight said.
"Nope. Genos and Kamiko should do this. You can, however, have a robot sit on top of the cart Saitama and Lady Mitsumi are in. Genos can scan my cart. Your robot can scan Stable Rock's cart. Then Child Emperor can go over the results," Tacki nodded. Saitama rolled his eyes, but he knew that Tacki wouldn't let them do anything further until this was done.
"Okay. I'm ready," Bright Bolt said on walking over in his human form.
"Yeah, I'm here, too," Zenchu chuckled. "May as well do this together."
"I could get taller," Garou said from he watched from the balcony with Lily.
"We'll see if we need a second opinion," Tacki nodded. "For now, though, this is fine. Just move them around the arena circle once."
"We're ready," Genos said and let Kamiko into the original push cart first. Then he got in behind her. Fire Flight was soon there to show she was going to keep track of the time. She let a flame shoot from her hand, and both Zenchu and Bright Bolt moved at a steady pace around the track. Genos kept his sensors going to gauge the time, movement and any intense shaking. Metal Knight's robot was recording data on the luxurious push cart.
They both made it to the end and nodded to each other. Zenchu looked at Genos in the cart and said, "How was it?"
"Very minimal impact, pace was steady and timing was on point. I would say that I should swap with Master Saitama to judge that cart condition to be sure," Genos nodded. "Of course, that is if he agrees."
"Fine. Let's do this," Saitama sighed and helped Mitsumi fix their clothes up. He rubbed his hand over her belly to show he wasn't forgetting about his son, and they quickly moved into the original cart. The small robot also changed over to show it was ready to record.
"This cart is…intricate," Kamiko chuckled when she settled in the luxurious cart. Genos agreed, and watched Zenchu move to push the cart. Bright Bolt went with Saitama's cart to judge things for himself. Tacki was watching the whole thing and had her arms crossed over her chest. Fire Flight let the flame spark shoot up from her hand for the same course to be taken.
"I honestly don't feel any difference," Mitsumi smiled and snuggled into her husband. He gave a small nod and enjoyed the rest of the small ride.
"Verdict?" Tacki asked when the carts came to a stop.
"No change in speed, velocity or structure. Both are the same," Genos nodded. Kamiko even nodded to show she felt no difference. Metal Knight reported the same details from his robot's diagnosis. Bright Bolt sighed and found himself chuckling at Tacki's small glare.
"Okay! Everything is perfect," Bright Bolt said.
"No fight? Awww…" Garou seemed to pout.
"I will make you a dress to wear for an entire day!" Tacki scowled at him.
"Can you?!" Zenchu asked. Then he laughed at the middle finger salute his brother gave him in retort. Lily was snickering like crazy at the idea.
"Okay. We're done. I'm going back to bed. With my wife. And it's to keep my son happy. Cold Snap?" Saitama asked. He had just lifted Mitsumi into his arms to carry her when they left the push cart, but then he looked at his son's frown. "What?"
"Someone is coming here to see you, Dad. We saw him when we moved the warehouse. Someone with dirty feet?" Cold Snap said with a grimace.
"The foot guy. Ugh…" Zenchu sighed. "Why is he coming here?"
"He heard there were monsters," Blue Ripple said when he trotted over with a growl. Saitama rose a brow and saw Inichi walking over with Fubuki.
"All I heard was that this area needs to be purged. I even shoved the idea to check the bulletins, but it was completely ignored," Inichi seemed to shrug.
"Can I zap him?" Bright Bolt asked. He was still in a human form and ready to help defend the home with the others.
"Hmm. Let us help deter," Stable Rock mused. He was still in his human form, and Blue Ripple decided to change human to stand with him. Even Tangled Vine was there, but he optioned to curl up into Mitsumi's arms to keep her comforted. Overgrown Rover and Scritch looked at each other with small grumbles before moving to sit in front of their owners.
"Doggy. Chase him out if he doesn't get a hint," Saitama nodded. Overgrown Rover huffed and panted happily.
"What does he want?" Mitsumi frowned. She looked up to see all of her fans in their circular sets of ten to hover over her like a prismatic, circular rainbow of protective death.
"Lady Mitsumi," Grigos said when he trudged over with Fighting Foot in his cage-like hand. "A visitor."
"I figured as much," she sighed. "Thank you, Grigos."
"Put me down! I'll still destroy you!" Fighting Foot scowled. Then he winced when he was dropped right on his rump in front of the crowd of heroes and monsters. Kamikaze had Tacki sitting on his shoulders to keep her out of the way. Fire Flight was soon standing with Shenjou to glare at him.
"You are trespassing in my home," Mitsumi said with her own glare.
"This is…?!" the man gaped.
"I was trying to tell you to read your bulletins," Inichi muttered out. "You completely ignored my warnings."
"I have to slap him," Saitama said.
"A moment, brother," Stable Rock said. Saitama sighed and nodded lightly. The earth monster looked down at Fighting Foot even as the man rose up to his feet. "Why did you come here? Don't you notice that we are not attacking you? Or anyone? You saw us rebuild the damaged city. Yet you still think we are at fault? Just because we are monsters?"
"Good questions," Zenchu grunted and flicked his barbed tail.
"I was told this place held lots of treasure and guarded by monsters," Fighting Foot said. "I figured I'd defeat the monsters and claim the treasure."
"The only treasure here is Lady Mitsumi," Tacki said. "That's Fan Dancer."
"The monsters you speak of are us. Her family of protectors," Stable Rock said. He set his staff of gold and gems to stand upright. Then he crossed his arms over his chest. "You are out of your league here. You need to leave."
"As he said," Blue Ripple growled and hunched his arms up slightly.
"No! I won't leave empty handed!" the man growled.
"Fine. Fight me for five minutes," Zenchu grinned.
"What?" Saitama looked at him with surprise.
"Why not? He lasts against me, he can say he's your disciple," Zenchu grinned. Then Mitsumi gave a grimace. "Not a good idea?"
"Zenchu, did you already forget that he insulted me? He said that girls shouldn't be heroes at all," Mitsumi frowned.
"What did he say?!" Tatsumaki spat out from where she was now appearing with Rendor. "Did he really say that?!"
"Such a shame," Metal Knight said from his hovering robot.
"I fully agree," Dr. Kuseno said from a speaker. He was in his underground laboratory now going over the garden soils from City X.
"Tatsi…" Rendor winced.
"No, Rendor. I'm sorry. But that's not right! I need to kick his ass!" Tatsumaki fumed. Rendor sighed and gave a nod.
"Don't break his bones," Rendor said. Fighting Foot paused and gaped when he found himself levitated thirty feet into the air with a green glow. Fubuki could only give her own sigh and rest against Inichi. At her small wince, she saw a set of pills with a water bottle brought over in a blue bubble.
"Thanks," she chuckled and quickly took them.
"We knew it was coming," Inichi chuckled back and smirked at how Fighting Foot was screaming for his life. All that was being done was flinging him back and forth in the air.
"Apologize!" Tatsumaki hissed out.
"I'm sorry!" he squealed.
"She's rank 2 in S class. Be glad she's learning how to keep things neutral," Bang said when he was brought over to witness this. Even King was now leaning over the railing with Kianna, Garou and Lily.
"I want to fling him somewhere!" the green haired girl growled.
"Drop him in the lake so his feet get washed," Zenchu grinned. That got the other monsters coughing with laughter.
"Okay!" she grinned and aimed him right in the center of the lake to force him to swim to shore. Now everyone was laughing at how the low B class hero had to swim back.
"That…that…!" he fumed as he trudged up from the water.
"Is quite enough from you," Mitsumi said to finish his sentence. Eighty full, circular fans were ready to spread out to attack, and Fighting Foot grimaced at the sight. "Leave my home now. Before anything else happens."
"You said I could become a disciple? To who?" Fighting Foot asked.
"Nobody!" Saitama said quickly and gave a glare at Zenchu. "He would just fight you to do it. To make you leave."
"Master?" Genos asked. Then he paused at the glare he just got.
"I'd disciple to you?" Fighting Foot asked Saitama now.
"Nope! And even if it was so, you don't have the heart of a hero. You need to prove you have that first. Then. Maybe. I might say something. Until then, though? Not in a million years," Saitama said with a hard shake of his bald head. "If you want to learn how to really be a hero, then you can go to Neutral Grounds. Lots of heroes go there, and maybe one of them will be nice enough to help you."
"Just not us," Kamikaze grunted and chewed on the stick in his mouth. "We've seen too much nasty stuff from you."
"Eh…fine! I'll do it!" the man nodded.
"And foot hygiene is a maximum priority," Saitama had to add. That got the hero to stiffen, but he sighed hard.
"I'll…think about that…" Fighting Foot sighed and was quick to trudge back out of the grounds. Then Cold Snap grinned and sent him off even faster with an ice blue spark. That got Saitama to nod.
"Good. Okay. Bedroom. And, eh…pets now. No people," Saitama advised. "What else did we have to do today?"
"I can check into City T and that building structure," Metal Knight offered.
"Cool. That works," Saitama nodded.
"Oh, Fubuki," Cold Snap said. "Come here real quick."
"Sure," she smiled and walked over now that the medication was in effect.
"Show me your best attack in the arena," Cold Snap smiled. Fubuki nodded and glowed green to bring forth her ice storm in the center of the arena. The ice monster studied it and touched her lightly to fully enhance it.
"Ah!" she gasped and found the entire arena encased in solid ice.
"Good. It worked!" Cold Snapped grin. "Now you can make a field of ice in short bursts around you. And, if you focus, you can even make spikes of ice within the field. Give it a try!"
"I can…?!" she asked with a giddy form of delight. She was now in complete awe at how a lethal spike of solid ice jutted from the ground. Several more appeared at her command, and they disappeared after several seconds. After another minute, the field of ice was soon gone as though nothing was there.
"Amazing, my love," Inichi smiled warmly.
"This is incredible…" she breathed.
"Yep. Just enough to get the job done and they vanish away just as fast," Cold Snap nodded. "Okay, I need to go with Mom and Dad. Keep practicing."
"I definitely will!" Fubuki beamed. Five minutes later had Cold Snap back in the penthouse suite with Saitama and Mitsumi in their bedroom.
"You back yet?" King asked from the live chat.
"I am now," Saitama said after removing all forms of clothing from him and Mitsumi. Her fans were settled along the walls again, and he was stretching out with relief. She was snuggling into him now, and he ran a hand over her belly. His pets moved to climb and settle in the bed with Overgrown Rover settling right on his hand. "Eh, doggy. I need to play with my son. Sit off to the side."
It huffed and did just that. It began to poke its nose at her belly to enjoy getting kicked at now. That got Mitsumi laughing softly. Saitama gathered up the controller to check on his gatherers and gave a sigh of contentment. Then Mitsumi said, "We may need to do this once a week."
"Or more," Saitama seemed to shrug. "Seems to be the case now."
"Yeah. I mean…would we be able to do missions?" she frowned.
"We can help with that," Bright Bolt said.
"He's right. With only two of us going to help, well…things will be done fast," Blue Ripple chuckled. He stretched his neck out to get a snuggle from her. Stable Rock snorted and flicked an ear. Then he swooned from the head scratching he got. Bright Bolt whinnied with a form of delight at the butt scratching he was given. Tangled Vine crooned when he got his rump scratched.
"I can get used to this," Saitama chuckled.
"As can I," Mitsumi said softly with exhaustion. He nodded, kissed her gently and let her rest against him. He felt her fall asleep, and his protective awareness kicked into high gear. Even the pets were alert now. They'll keep an eye on her dreams. The moment something goes wrong, they'll get me in to help her. I need to protect her physically and mentally. And I'm glad I can do that now after all this time while I watched her suffer.
