OPM X ZZZ PART TWO.

BOTH ONE PUNCH MAN AND ZENLESS ZONE ZERO DO NOT BELONG TO ME, ALL RIGHTS TO THE ORIGINAL CREATORS. THE ONLY THING THAT BELONGS TO ME IS THE CREATION OF THIS STORY.

I will answer the comments.

Ritos: Well, in this chapter there is interaction of Saitama with two agents. Although the interactions are going to be bigger later. For the moment, it's all introductory. I hope you liked it.

Guest: Yes, I speak Spanish. I learned English by watching movies, series and video games. I do this with the translator and with everything I know. There must be some mistakes, but they should be minimal. Thanks for commenting.

SuchAGreatStory: Well congratulations, here's another chapter and by the end you know there's another one coming in the future. Thanks for commenting, I'm glad you like my story.

Ale: Que onda compañero. ¿Todo tranca la barranca?

Dd: I understand that maybe my writing style doesn't end up pleasing you. However, I need body language because I want to convey feelings by showing them not writing them. So, I'm sorry, but the body language is for very practical reasons in line with my writing style. I thank you a lot for your sincerity and opinion, thank you for reading my previous chapter and I hope that if you read this one you will like it.

Martinezderek71: Well, stop waiting and enjoy the chapter!

Palawan man: Thanks, I hope it's up to par too.

Hakorou: Keep reading aloud, here's more. It makes me happy that you liked my previous chapter.

VSX-2018: Here's one more chapter, Saitama as a public safety officer (Or unofficial)? Maybe yes, maybe no. I'm of two minds and still undecided on where to leave it. For the time being, enjoy the chapter.

With all said and done. We begin the chapter:

Pum-Pum-Pum-Pum…*

Waiting quietly behind the door, she looked at her police uniform. All in order, as always. The young woman smiled to herself. Today is a big day and she made the necessary sacrifices to come find her friend at her apartment. The young woman blindly adjusted her ponytail. She kept waiting quietly, she heard something in the background in the apartment. Surely it was her friend… she suddenly became confused as she heard something unusual inside the apartment.

"Since when did Qingyi have a man's voice?" The young woman wrinkled her nose and squinted at the door barring her way. Footsteps approached. The door opened and from there a man appeared. He said to her. "Hello, hello, what can I do for you officer?" he asked with complete calmness. He is wearing what looks like plain blue pajamas. She blinked and looked at the apartment number. Then she scratched her shoulder and said. "Uhm….Good morning, sir. Is Qingyi at home…?" the man nodded, she looked at her reflection in his bald head, the young lady quickly changed her clear face from one of surprise and disbelief to a more neutral one.

He stepped inside the apartment without a word. A few seconds passed. The man opened the door again and said. "Qingyi said she's not in." The man closed the door. She looked at the wooden wall with a forced smile. After two seconds, though, the door opened again. "She was joking, You can come in." The uniformed woman swung past the hinges and looked at the decorations. Not many, it looks like a somewhat empty house. Most notable is the number of tea sets meticulously arranged around the house. Also, an odd mix of retro furniture 'holding' advanced appliances.

Qingyi, dressed in police uniform and her characteristic green pigtails, is drinking hot water at the kitchen table while in the frying pan is making some fried eggs and in another rice. She said. "Hello Zhu Yuan. Friend. To what do I owe your visit?"

"Who is he!" was the first thing Zhu Yuan asked as she pointed to the bald man sitting and watching a movie. Qingyi said. "It's impolite to point at someone, especially if you don't know them." Zhu Yuan quickly lowered her accusing finger, this is affecting her more than she thought. Zhu Yuan spoke again. "What I mean is…" She paused as she saw something strange in many aspects. Qingyi got up and took the eggs out of the pan, put them on a plate, then repeated the process with the rice. Zhu yuan said to her. "Are you cooking something for yourself? You can't eat." Zhu pointed out the obvious. The green hair told her friend. "It's for him." Zhu shook his head slightly several times and said. "Can you introduce us?"

Qingyi said. "Saitama. Say hello." He, without taking his eyes off The Alien Movie, replied. "I'm Saitama." Qingyi nodded and commented. "Good." Zhu Yuan bit her lower lip and took a deep breath to avoid being mislearned. She walked over to Saitama who is scratching his belly. She said. "I am Zhu Yuan. The current leader of the public security criminal investigation team." She extended her hand to greet him, Saitama reciprocated the greeting. The black-haired woman said to the bald man. "Where do you know Qingyi from?" he replied, concentrating on the movie. "I woke up and saw her. She brought me here." Zhu folded his arms. "What? That doesn't tell me anything…" Saitama elaborated on the answer. "I mean. I was lying down and it showed up on my face. It took me and now I'm here." The uniformed woman touched her wrist to calm her anxiety. She turned her gaze to Qingyi as he doesn't seem to pay attention to her, Zhu asked her friend. "Where do you know him from?" Qingyi replied. "I found him sleeping and brought him to my house." Zhu Yuan covered his face and muttered. "You guys…"

Qingyi put the dish on the table. Fried eggs with white rice and some pork. "Breakfast." Saitama stood up and said. "I'm coming." Zhu Yuan thought as she saw this interaction. "How did someone as responsible as Qingyi bring a man like him to his house!?"

He sat down at the table in front of the plate. Zhu Yuan stood in the distance looking at the two of them. Qingyi sat down and spoke to him. "Do you have everything ready for today." Saitama nodded. "Yes, I have all the papers you gave me to photocopy." Qingyi gave a thumbs up. "Perfect, when I get off work, I'll walk you out, so you avoid any extra registration." Zhu Yuan approached both of them and said. "Sorry, what are you two talking about?" She took a seat with them and Qingyi commented. "There's going to be a ID card done." Zhu Yuan wrinkled his face and raised an eyebrow. "Why then do you say things like 'avoid extra records'?"

Saitama commented. "Because I need a new ID card, on card." He said. Zhu folded his arms and replied to the bald man. "But you only need the ID card to get the ID card made." Qingyi commented. "That's why. I need to accompany you." Zhu Yuan scratched his temple and replied. "But you only need to give your ID card." Saitama told her calmly, his mouth full. "I don't have an ID." Zhu raised her hands in surprise. "You don't remember your ID number?" he denied, saying that he does remember, and she replied. "Then that's enough." Qingyi shook her head and said to her friend. "No, he needs an ID card."

Zhu Yuan grabbed the tip of her nose and said. "But you already have a ID card, why would you need a ID card if you know the numbers?" Saitama said, smiling slightly knowing the answer. "To get me a ID." Zhu Yuan grabbed his head. "You already have a ID!?" he nodded and she continued. "Then you don't need a ID, you just need to know the number, give it and they'll give you a new ID card, without any extra registration!" Qingyi nodded at her answer and commented. "Indeed, you only need that." Zhu Yuan sighed and said. "Thank you." Qingyi then said to her. "But I have to go, he needs a ID cars." Zhu took a deep breath and said to her friend. "That's not necessary, Qingyi, he just needs to give his ID number." Saitama said. "Actually, I don't have an ID number."

Zhu pointed at him. "You said you had!" he nodded and replied. "Yes, I do." Zhu Yuan told him, his sanity slipping. "All you need is that and you'll get a new ID!" Qingyi denied what her friend said. "Yes, but he can't, him don't have a ID card." Zhu shouted back in response. "He said yes!" Saitama commented. "Yes, but I don't have ID." Zhu Yuan banged the table and scratched his head out of nervousness. Zhu looked at Qingyi and said. "Can you please tell me exactly and precisely what the problem is." Qingyi took some of his hot water and said. "He is not in the system, even though he has a ID card, so I am going to help him to avoid questions and have him get a renewed one and enter the system. I mean, his ID looks legitimate, but there is no record linking him to any database. It's as if your existence is not officially recorded."

Zhu Yuan almost jumped out of the chair. "Why didn't they say so from the beginning?" Qingyi looked at Saitama, he kept eating, but returned the look. They both answered at the same time. "Yes we did." Zhu then rationalized everything and said to Qingyi. "Excuse me, but there is something very strange here and I must be direct. Qingyi, where did you find this man, why is he in your house? And more importantly, why isn't he documenting? That could be a crime in itself, besides strange, he is a senior citizen. How can he not be documented?" Qingyi drank more of his hot water and told her. "Sure, I'll tell you…on the way. We're running late for work." Zhu felt her eyes sting. She stood up and grabbed Qingyi's shoulder, Zhu Yuan said. "Right! I came for that! Let's go!"

While the green hair are pushing her to move towards work. She said to Saitama while shuffling her feet. "If you want to go visit Lumina Square, no problem, I also left money on top of the fridge, feel free to treat yourself while you're out, at six in the evening we'll meet at the movie theater in front of the diagonal of the center. From there we will have an hour to do the ID in peace, remember to wear the new clothes I bought you and also use a lot of perfume so they think you are someone important. If all goes well, in the evening I will prepare something nice to eat and I will even try to make a dessert. If you can, stop by the flower store and buy some orchids, I need them. A co-worker will f-"

The door closed along with the 'disappearance' of both of them. Saitama looked towards the door "oh, they're gone."

…

(Fifteen days earlier)

…

Qingyi has a quiet day. Well it's supposed to be quiet, she doesn't think quiet is a constant thing that gets diluted as the days go by. Every day there must be something to surprise you. That's life… In her case, that's her battery (¿?). She walks quietly through the most recondite places of 'Lumina Square'. The green flick is with her trusty official Bangboo and carrot, although they changed it again. "Your name is?" she said looking at the chubby tiny being with two bunny ears and a tiny police uniform (Costume). He jumped up excitedly. "Ehn-Na Eh." She nodded several times and said with complete assurance. "I didn't understand a thing." The little guy rolled his eyes as if he was reloading something. Then she spoke again. "Ehn-Na Eh. (I'm Justo, it's a pleasure to be able to work with you.)"

"Thank you." She said. The Bangboo seemed to lower his ears. "Ehn… (Just 'Thank you'?...)?" Qingyi answered him, starting his walk. "The pleasure will be mine too, when we're done for the day and you've been useful." The Bangboo jumped up and waved his arms, then waved his little paws to catch up with her. "Nana Eh! (I'll try my best to make it so!)" She gave a slight thumbs up and then looked down at a puddle on the road floor. "Uh…" Qingyi exhaled and tried to brush off a small speck of dirt on her blue uniform, just above where it said PubSec. She also rearranged her green pigtails. "Perfect."

Bruuum-Splash…*

A car passed by at a moderate speed, but enough to splash anyone nearby. Qingyi sparked his staff after having used it as a shield to avoid the water. "You were close, with twice the speed you would have taken me by surprise." "Na… Eh na… (Oh… it's the third one this week)" said the Bangboo, she didn't need to see him to know what happened. Qingyi kept walking and observing her surroundings. Somewhat old buildings displayed in front of her, undue graffiti (some looked recent) and many kids hanging around, chasing each other. She looked up at the cloudy sky. "It's going to rain." Was the forecast she gave, took two steps and tripped over an irregularity in the sidewalk, but Qingyi did not fall to the ground.

"Naehna Ehna? Nana, Ehn. (Should we go deeper into the slums? This place is quiet, though there are many fissures leading to cavities.)" Qingyi glanced sideways at a certain quiet man almost on the other corner at the side of an alley, with blond hair and light blue eyes, wearing a black overalls and blue joggers. Qingyi kept looking straight ahead and at the same time looking at that boy. The Bangboo looked straight ahead, but him ears are in the direction of the boy she watches. The adorable fellow said to her. "Na eh? (Did he do something?)" Qingyi commented quietly. "He was looking everywhere, until he saw us. That wouldn't be weird, except that we're surrounded by people. He only stopped looking everywhere once he saw us. He's either looking for something, up to something, or just got nervous. Let's waiting." The Bangboo nodded with his ears and then stood next to her.

…

Time passed and the smell of vehicle naphtha intensified, the blond man seeming to get more and more nervous. "Nanaeh, Ehna (We have to continue our patrol.)" Qingyi only answered him. "Your patience is running out. That guy is up to something and it's time for phase two." They continued the patrol, heading in the direction of the young man. They both walked calmly and Qingyi even glanced at the boy as they passed him. They crossed the corner and Qingyi said. "Now we turn around." Said and done, they went back to the place and the young man is gone. "Really, did he have so little patience left?" She really doesn't believe he fell for such a silly trick.

"Ehna, na! (To the alley, quick!)" The little guy exclaimed bravely. The place is pretty clean except for some rusty pipes and some broken bags from the cats. Qingyi watched the previous man and a new one, passing a bag between them. "Well, I must say you made yourself scarce. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to do a rudimentary narcotics test. Give me the bag, just for a moment." The Bangboo shook his head from side to side. "Na? Ehna eh. (What? That's not how you do the procedure.)"

The blond man shouted in exultation and ran off into the depths of the alley. The other young man, curly, freckled and somewhat chubby, looked terrified. Qingyi walked past him. "It's illegal to sell them, not buy them." She told him. The boy sighed in relief. Bangboo's running almost abreast of her. The young man in black overalls flipped over some garbage cans. Qingyi dodged rolling her eyes, she didn't perform unnecessary acrobatics, just the right ones. Bangboo, on the other hand, looked like the king of mini Parkour.

"All you accomplish is to increase my paperwork, like everyone else. I never expect anything, but you manage to disappoint me." She told him barely raising her voice for the delinquent to hear, Qingyi's footsteps coming closer to him with each passing millisecond. The young man, looking both ways with ragged breathing, found what he was looking for and he took a deep breath. "Na na na!? Naeh! (A fissure!? Don't do it!)" the young man looked at the faint purple walls that seemed alive and only screamed danger, the delinquent stepped into the wall, disappearing, literally. Qingyi approached the eccentric wall and looked at it calmly, she said. "Now not only will I have to do more paperwork, but I will also have to defend myself against accusations if you end up dead because of bad procedure." "NAEH NANAEH! (BUT YOU PROCEEDED BADLY FROM THE BEGINNING!)" Qingyi's response was to enter the cavity. The place is horrendous, even the air smells of rot. There is no other description.

It is simply a city eaten by rot, dangerous beings and deadly crystals everywhere, plus, the Bangboo detected ether fissures everywhere. "Let's find that man before he passes away. He must have entered some fissure on his escape. I must save his life if or if." She said and set off in pursuit. The Bangboo started running, but Qingyi seemed six times faster. "Eh-Nuu Nuhe? (Why didn't you run like that before?)" The answer did not reach Qingyi's ear. She kept running, trying to find any trace. Under cars, inside nearby buildings and even rubble.

"RAWWRA!" a being straight out of a movie roared. Qingyi deployed his staff, three electric blows to the chest and the low-level ethereal being was stunned. Two more blows to the head were enough to destroy its core. She kept searching. The Bangboo finally reached her, Qingyi looked at it and said. "Do you detect any signs of life?" The little officer nodded with his rabbit ears and pointed into the distance. "Nuu, Eh-no… Nihu Nieh (There's one over there… About four hundred meters away)" Qingyi looked slightly surprised and couldn't help but mutter. "Did it get that far?" She grabbed the Bangboo, put it under her left forearm and ran to the assigned direction.

"RAAAW! AAAAH!" She didn't stop to destroy the horde, it's not her mission. Qingyi just jumped on top of a car and jumped up to rest her feet on a building, the building shook on contact. She opened her eyes a little, then decided the safe thing to do was to jump, grab a decommissioned power line and throw herself into a traffic light.

PLAF!*

The building crumbled behind them, a cloud of dust mixed with ether crystals rose up, roars of ethereal beings were heard from all directions and the smell of decay intensified. The Bangboo spoke, its body trembling. "N-Naeh, Nuna eh, Ehna Nanu. (E-Eighty meters, there is a fissure in the ground ahead, it will only take you deeper into the cavity)" She answered him. "Thanks for the tip." Qingyi jumped to the ground.

Plaf-Crack."

Two ethereal beings served as air pockets. She kept running after crushing them, she jumped, dodging the inconvenient fissure. Qingyi approached the building that is marking the Bangboo. She entered the building without a second thought, an ethereal being seems to be banging on a door, she used her staff with her right hand and destroyed the being in half with one blow. Qingyi opened the door, seeing a human figure on the ground. "Consider yourself under arrest for…" "Uhna? (A bald man?)" Qingyi let go of the Bangboo and approached a man peacefully sleeping. The Bangboo stood in front of his face and jumped up happily. "Nana-eh! (He is alive!)" Qingyi whispered. "I noticed."

She watched him carefully. "A hundred percent living being. Human, what's a human being doing sleeping in a cavity?... I should get him out of here, it looks like the ether consumed his hair." Qingyi touched the man on the arm, he woke up and his stomach rumbled. Qingyi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Sir. You are sleeping in a cavity. It's not only illegal, but also extremely dangerous and senseless." He then said. "You know the way out of this place!" he asked hopefully, paying no attention to Qingyi's words. She nodded and said. "Yes, yes I do. Though I must make you a few p-" his stomach growled again. Qingyi knelt down to be on his level and commented. "How long have you been here?" he scratched his right cheek and said. "About three days." Qingyi nodded. "He ran out of supplies. In that case, priorities. You are my priority. Protocol one. Follow me, there will be times for questions later."

Qingyi suddenly realized something important when she took a good look at the place. There was nothing, just dust, wooden structures being eaten away and the walls barely holding the place together. She then said to him. "Isn't this your temporary base?" he denied with a wave of his hand. Qingyi said to him. "You parted a few hours ago from your temporary base?" he told her, as if talking about the weather. "I have no base." Qingyi narrowed his eyes. "Provisions?" "No." "Anti-ether serum?" "No." "Bangboo?" "Shoot and scare? What kind of weapon shoots scares." Qingyi scratched his chin. "You have no symptoms of corruption, though perhaps you suffer from dementia. You are a miracle." The man answered her. "I don't have dementia. My name is Saitama, I have not eaten or drunk for three days. If you know the way out, just guide me." Qingyi quickly denied that fact. "Impossible, no human should be able to be alive without hydration for so many hours." Bangboo finally spoke up. "Nahu Na. (We should take him at once.)" Qingyi nodded, remembering that this person, though carefree, actually needed help. She helped lift Saitama and said to him. "You are my top priority. We're leaving, follow me."

"Uhna na, Nuhe? (What about the possible narcotics dealer? He's still missing)" Qingyi said, without a second thought. "There's a man who hasn't eaten for three days and according to him, he doesn't drink either. He deserves my full attention and care." His voice completely monotone. Qingyi then added. "What narcotic dealer?" the Bangboo seemed quite confused by that, he then flapped his little hands in understanding. "Nuha ehna Nanu! (He's your ticket out for your malpractice!)" Qingyi picked up the Bangboo and placed it between her waist and forearm. She commented. "I'll be honest, if I have to protect two people, I'd rather it be him than a potential criminal…it's true. Sir, my name is Qingyi, rookie investigating officer. What is your name?" the man seemed busy avoiding the stripes on the floor, he then replied. "My name is Saitama." The little officer asked him. "Ne Uhna? (Are you from New Eridu?)" the man denied.

"No, I'm from Z-city… wait, what exactly are you?" Qingyi kept walking, calm, yet listening carefully to the conversation. She doesn't want to run and neither does she want to carry the man on her shoulder, it's not safe if he's weakened. Though it's a bit strange for the green-haired woman to see this man walking smoothly after not eating for three days. "There's also the problem of that suspect. It's very likely that he got lost in some fissure, I will inevitably have consequences….. But, at this point, it's one life for another. I must prioritize one." The Bangboo tried to settle in a bit on the ride and said. "Uh Nanauh? Naeh, Ehnu ha. (Z-City? Sorry, never heard of it.)" Qingyi commented. "The man suffers from dementia, there is no other explanation." Saitama shook his head and pointed to the sky. "I am telling the truth. Look, I came through a portal from another universe and fell here by accident, I lived in Z-city, I was a professional hero there." The sound of the wind is heard louder than ever, it seems that even the ethereal beings stopped making noise. Bangboo looked sad and Qingyi coughed into her hand, although for her coughing is a useless function. Saitama said. "I'm not crazy… Hey. Are you a cop?"

Qingyi couldn't help but close her eyes a little in disbelief. "You just noticed?" he nodded and told her. "Yes, by your badge. I've never seen a policewoman dressed so strangely." Qingyi opened his mouth to reply, but then closed it. He looked at her attire. It shows a lot, she is an android, but every part of her humanoid body is marked. She said. "I give you every reason. My uniform is inappropriate for the work involved." Saitama nodded, but then told her. "Still, it's fine. As long as you do your job, let the others say what they want." Qingyi couldn't help but smile a little. She said to him. "I agree with you again. It's more dangerous someone in a suit than someone full of dirt." Saitama looked at his attire. Totally dirty and his cloak can't tell him 'white' anymore. He continued the conversation. "Do they usually make fun of your clothes?" Qingyi thought for a moment and commented. "I'm not clear on that, though it doesn't affect me, I'm an android, worrying about 'what people will say' is anodyne to me."

Saitama nodded, though the word 'anodyne' is beyond his understanding. Saitama then said. "Android. Are you some kind of robot?" she commented. "Perfectly I can pass for one, the difference is my artificial intelligence. However, I'm still a machine." Saitama told her intrigued. "You look quite human to me." Qingyi replied, after using her staff to keep three ethereal beings in stripes, until finally stunning them and destroying their cores. She told him. "I can act like one and interact like one, but I am light years away from representing a human." The two had to squeeze past a pile of abandoned vehicles, the Bangboo continued to be carried by Qingyi. The wind blew stronger, the smell of sulfur filled everyone's nostrils.

The bald man in the cape replied. "Really? I don't agree. I have a friend called Genos. He's a robot just like you; but I often forget that he is one. Qingyi's eyes widened slightly at that answer. She said. "That is wrong. You can't treat a machine like a human being. It's a waste of time. Like trying to humanise pets, it's pointless. We can 'live' forever, technically. Use your precious time on someone who deserves it, on someone finite like you." He shrugged and replied. "Well, you're more human than many others I know. You care about people, that's something." Qingyi shook his head. "It's not concern. I'm conditioned to fake emotions and feelings. I just use logic." Saitama raised an eyebrow. "You care about me logically, but logically I should use my time on someone who cares about me. right?". She replied. "I fake my concern, it's not real." Saitama scratched his chin and commented. "I know, a lot of people do it too. It's nothing new, the difference is that you wouldn't hurt me on purpose." The Bangboo let out a small chuckle, the little guy seemed to be enjoying the interaction.

Qingyi said. "I'm not human, whether you like it or not." Saitama told hee. "It's okay, still, you're someone admirable." Qingyi kept looking straight ahead and replied. "I can take that compliment." The little Bangboo made another appearance. "Uhna… Na-Na eh. (The fissure of… There, is a shortcut.)" Qingyi nodded and walked to where she was dictated to. She said to him, after listening to his stomach again. "Are you seriously saying you don't remember anything?" he rolled his eyes. "I told you the truth. I'm from Z-City and came from another world." Qingyi nodded. "Protocol seven. I will be your guide and look after your needs. Although I'm about to finish my active shift, so passive will come, paperwork… Uhm, it's not a good idea to take you somewhere unsupervised, for the time being, you'll be in my home until the ministry of security manages to get your personal data to take you home. I expect you to cooperate with your fingerprint, photo and saliva." Saitama said. "Will the food be free?" Qingyi nodded. "Absolutely." He answered her. "Yes, I will be cooperative."

Bangboo shouted. "UHNA NE! (A SIGN OF LIFE?!)" The little being pointed to the right. A young man appeared from a holler over a hundred and forty meters away. This one seemed to have some crystals on his face. Qingyi blinked as he recognized the black overalls and blond hair. "The possible offender." Qingyi approached, in the end, this didn't turn out so bad. However, the young man looked at his phone and stepped into another fissure. The fissure, that open wound in this hell, which was to get out as well as to enter the cavity, in this case, the first. Qingyi thought aloud. "Uhm… Well, another day I can catch him, I can't abandon Saitama. I hope he seeks medical help, I don't want that young man to pass away." The Bangboo lowered his ears and said. "Nanu Ehne (I'm going to ask for full shifts to be a traffic officer)."

…

…

…

Saitama can't say he was happy. He got bored. Qingyi is doing paperwork, as she acted wrong to stop a possible criminal, now she must do more paperwork and, as she found him, then she has more paperwork, as if that was not enough, the possible criminal threw away the bag of possible narcotics. In addition, she has to report Saitama's situation. The bald guy in the cape is eating a bowl of noodles… well, this is the third bowl of noodles. In the end they were three hours in Qingyi's office, only the noise of the keyboard and Saitama slurping noodles could be heard. She finished all her work. Qingyi stood up calmly and reported. "For the time being I was given permission to take you. You will live with me for a few days. I need your consent." She handed him a paper with several regulations and a place to sign without signing. Saitama, lifting a Bangboo up and down, said without looking at her. "Will I pay rent?" Qingyi closed one eye and raised a finger, then said to him. "I am within my rights to charge you housing. However, I won't. It would be rather insensitive of me in your situation." Saitama smiled a little at her. "Then I'll go with you. Are you sure you're a machine?" Qingyi blinked and told him. "Sure, treat me as such. I'm an android. Don't forget that." Saitama answered him scratching his head. "Uhm, it'll be hard to remember." He signed the closing.

…

(Present)

…

"And that brings us to now." Qingyi said while still walking with Zhu Yuan. The black hair watched the people walking and various stores advertising locals. Zhu said to her. "How long has he been living with you?" Qingyi answered her almost instantly. "Two weeks. We get along very well. He's a quiet, simple man, doesn't bother, helps a lot with chores, and we share an 'age' physically and mentally." Qingyi then smiled a little. "I've also been practicing my cooking skills." Zhu Yuan seemed to puff out her cheeks, she said. "Why didn't you practice with me?" The green hair said without even looking at her. "Simple, I didn't see it practical. Barely and we can get together at least a few hours a day. Now I come home and I know someone must eat, so it makes sense that I should practice."

Zhu Yuan told her, massaging his right shoulder. "I can't believe it…my two friends left me out at the same time." Qingyi shook her head almost instantly, she gently tapped his forearm. The green-haired girl said to him. "Impossible. You're like a good book, he's a plant I have to water every day. So don't think that." Then Qingyi raised an eyebrow slightly and asked her. "What do you mean by 'my two friends', did you have a fight with Hoshimi?" Zhu Yuan bit his lower lip and answered. "No, I didn't fight, but she disappeared almost three weeks ago…I don't want to bother her with messages, but I'm worried."

They both waited quietly for the traffic light to change to green. Qingyi told her. "Considering what Hoshimi is like. I suggest you send her a message. It's likely that Hoshimi is emotionally hurt, physically it's almost impossible." Zhu nodded, thinking about the advice. Qingyi watched a man waiting for someone at the movie theater. The green hair thought. "Did I leave Saitama something to eat in case he decides not to go out? I hope this time he spends some money for himself, I understand him being thrifty and restrained; but he seems to do it out of necessity not out of habit… Would he have been very poor?"

…

…

…

Saitama is in the central square. He looked around and sighed. He wondered aloud. "Qingyi had left me money, right?" He forgot where she left the things for him to take. The green hair has been protective of him. She also won't 'allow' him to do things in the absence of documentation. So, Qingyi wants to wait until everything is in order for Saitama to reinstall himself to the world. Although he is getting very bored. However, he doesn't want to get lost in those things called cavities again. Saitama looked at the clothes Qingyi bought him. Fancy shoes, a blue shirt with a tie, a black dress coat and black dress pants. Clothes causing him some salaried memories, he felt a shiver run through his body. Bad memories of life.

"Well… What things are in this city?" he said to himself. Looking at every colorful and rather futuristic car, the pedestrians had animalistic features. Which he found somewhat interesting. Something caught Saitama's attention. What looked like a white furred, sharply dressed werewolf, waiting patiently at the entrance to a pharmacy. "Genos would have blown him into a thousand pieces by now." Saitama thought, that living being makes him very curious. "Well, it doesn't hurt to ask for some directions."

I finished the chapter in record time. I hope you liked this one as well and found it as interesting as the first one.

Saitama didn't get much 'screen' time, but I wanted to make that time memorable.

Thank you very much for reading. Feel free to comment if you have ideas, criticisms or opinions. That's very valuable to me and helps me improve the story.

Bye and enjoy your day!
