Chapter 12
"Where are you from?"
Rick looked at Gafan's high school uniform hidden under the hooded windbreaker, as well as Saitama who was picking rice grains from the corner of his mouth, and finally looked directly into Gafan's eyes.
"Hubi has already told me that Saitama does not belong to this world, and your...what is your name?"
"Gafan, eighteen years old, is a harmless student."
Gafan, who sat upright for a moment, replied honestly.
After all, he is the weakest among everyone here, including Sister Cloni who helps clear the dishes.
He is truly a pitiful, weak, helpless, and sub-healthy ordinary person.
"Student?" Rick looked a little surprised. He had seen this word in historical documents before. It was a common word among humans before the outbreak of this protracted war.
But now no one mentions it anymore.
Saitama, who was in a daze, was also attracted. He looked at Gafan's school uniform and asked directly.
"Eh? Are you from Japan too?"
"This is barely enough." Gafan scratched his cheek. After all, he had just passed through the soul not long ago, and Japan was like a transit station for him for only one day.
"Oh oh oh." Saitama looked a little excited, "Then which city are you from? I'm from Z city. When I came here, I had just bought crabs and was about to go home. The result was inexplicable. Just came here, Hubie said there should be a way to send me back, but first help Rick get that cup. "
"I'm from Chiba City."
"Chiba City? I've never heard of it." Saitama was stunned for a moment. Is there such a city in Japan?
"Because we are not from the same world, Saitama-sensei."
After hesitating for a while, Gafan still honestly explained to Saitama, who was still strange about the name teacher: "It's all because of me that you got lost from your original world and ended up here."
"?"
Saitama took a look at the young man in front of him and felt that this child's physical fitness was worse than that of him three years ago when he was still looking for a job and hit a wall.
And I can't feel the so-called "powerful" feeling at all.
"...How did you do it?" Saitama asked blankly.
Are all high school students so good now?
"It's an accident. Anyway, my time travel is passive and compulsory. I will also randomly bring people from other worlds to travel with me." Gafan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and apology.
"But I know how to get back."
"Oh, all right."
Although he had a lot of questions, when he heard that he could go back, Saitama nodded with relief and forgot all those troublesome questions.
He still wants to continue to be a hero out of interest in his own world and eliminate those weirdos that appear every day.
Moreover, he didn't want to miss the big discount in the supermarket next week.
Saitama thought without any desire.
After sitting quietly listening to the conversation between the two "foreigners", Rick also nodded slightly and understood the situation roughly.
"I have a general understanding of the situation. Anyway...Gafan, I want to thank you first."
Looking at Gafan who was pointing at himself with a confused look on his face, Rick said seriously: "Although your arrival was an accident, Saitama, who also came to this world because of you, saved my wife Hubie. life...this means a lot to me, thank you.”
"Ah, but I didn't do anything."
Ga Fan scratched his cheek in embarrassment, feeling that he was still quite thin-skinned. It was the first time in his life that someone thanked him seriously, which made him feel shy.
At this time, the system also complained in his mind: "Yes, host, you have indeed done nothing. Why is this man saying thank you to you? I can't understand."
"...People and systems are inherently incapable of understanding each other, so you'd better shut up." Gafanpi replied in his heart with a smile.
"Oh, weak carbon-based creatures."
The system replied lazily. It was now completely relaxed. After all, the road back to the daily world was right in front of it. Saitama, who could walk sideways on this planet, was also beside it. It no longer had any A sense of crisis.
Alas, as expected, it is a literary and public system, so it is better to stay in a world like Youth Story, and the style of painting is more appropriate.
Hehe, it's steady.
Speechlessly ignoring the silly system in his mind, Gafan still extended his right hand to Teacher Saitama after hesitating for a moment.
"After just one minute of shaking hands, we should all be able to go back."
"That's right, it's a bit sudden."
Saitama looked down at the hand that came from behind and scratched his cheek. It felt a little weird to shake hands with a man for a long time, but forget it, it's not a big problem.
The hand wearing a red glove shook it very simply.
For him, since he has sent his "child" home, he should go home quickly and take a shower.
After all, the group of winged brats not only lost his special crabs, but also stained his clothes. He had to wash them quickly and dry them. He didn't know if the sun would be strong tomorrow.
Saitama is worried about these insignificant things.
And this direct physical contact also made Gafan feel more realistically that he had indeed traveled through time and met characters he could only see on the screen before. This was a reality without any trace of falsehood.
How should I put it, well, I feel quite happy inexplicably.
Even if he is holding the rough hand of a bald man.
After shaking hands, Gafan did feel that some subtle parts in his body were being corrected, but the strange thing was that something seemed to have disconnected from his "existence".
But before he could think about it, Cloni, who had finished washing and putting away the dishes, came back.
"Gafan, are you...going to leave?"
Croni asked a little dazedly.
"Sister...well, I'm going home." The expression on Gafan's face suddenly became very complicated, and he didn't know what to say.
In this terrible apocalyptic world, the only thing worthy of his nostalgia is the girl in front of him who saved his life.
He said that there is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life, and he will remember this kindness for the rest of his life.
He is willing to call her eldest sister for the rest of his life.
"That's it."
Cloni didn't know how to react to this sudden news. Even though they hadn't been together for long, she had already begun to regard him as her younger brother, that is, a family member.
Just like when Rick was a kid.
"Well, I was going to introduce you to Rick and Hubie. They are my most important family members."
Croni smiled reluctantly, not knowing what she was talking about.
"It's okay, eldest sister, don't we know each other now? And for some reasons, I have actually known you before and know some things about you." Gafan said with a simple and honest smile, wanting to say something to dilute it. The atmosphere became a bit dull, and then I noticed Hubie who was still looking at the spatula in his hand.
"By the way, Hubie, have you synchronized your consciousness with your race before?"
Gafan smiled and wanted to find something to talk about, and said: "But there should be no more, after all, Saitama is here, and the Flügels and the like are all sprinkled with water, hahaha, ha, ha..."
Gradually, Gafan stopped laughing because he noticed Hubi's blank expression OAO.
This should be a synchronized memory.
Gafan: "..."
no! He can't be silent, let's find another topic!
"Oh, right, Rick." Gafan called Rick's name familiarly, smiling and trying to liven up the mood with a joke to dilute the sadness, "It's a good thing that Ex-Machina doesn't have the ability to reproduce, otherwise your current situation would not be good. Yeah, ah ha ha ha, ha, ha..."
Looking at the confused and dazed Rick, Gafan gradually stopped laughing.
The atmosphere at the scene is now more than sad.
"...I'm sorry, eldest sister, I seem to be a bit stupid with my mouth." Gafan said with a look of despair, as if his emotional intelligence was indeed low.
But Croni burst into laughter unexpectedly.
"I already knew you were stupid, hehe."
Cloni stepped forward, raised her little hands that were still stained with water and were full of calluses, and gently touched Gafan's head, just like she touched her brother Rick's head when he was a child.
At the last moment, before this sudden farewell, she still showed her smile that could bring courage to anyone as always, and said softly.
"So, Gafan must correct this little problem in the future, otherwise he will not be liked by girls. Also, he must take good care of himself in the future. No matter what happens, he must remember to eat well and sleep well. And...live well."
Listening to this familiar voice that he will probably remember for a lifetime, Gafan raised his head and looked at the other person's gentle eyes.
His blue and clear eyes were like the sky when the world was unpolluted, just like the first time they met.
"..."
Gafan lowered his head silently, not letting others see his red eyes. After all, he was such an adult, so he was embarrassed.
"Well, I took note of everything... Sister, thank you very much, thank you very much."
"Hey, it's okay, who made me your sister."
Croni smiled lively, not letting others see even a trace of her sadness.
You know, she is a very strong woman.
At this time, Hubie first looked at Rick who nodded to her, and then took out a necklace that Rick and she made together in their free time and gave it to Saitama.
"Saitama, Hubie and Rick are expressing their thanks."
Saitama looked down at the necklace in his hand in surprise. It was handmade and very simple, but he could see that it was made with great care and that there was a lot of heart in it.
"..."
This was the first time since he became a hero out of interest that he received a thank-you gift from someone other than the old man who gave him the hero suit.
How should I put it, well, it doesn't feel bad.
"Yes, I accepted it. It's a very nice gift." Saitama smiled lightly.
At this time, a faint white fluorescence appeared on his and Gafan's bodies at the same time, as well as a familiar call that seemed to come from a very far away place.
One minute is up.
"Ah, it looks like I'm going back."
Saitama was stunned for a moment, and then simply accepted this fact. After all, he had said goodbye properly.
After Gafan showed a sad and honest smile to Croni, he suddenly thought of something and quickly left the last words to Rick.
"By the way, please remember my reminder. The God of Games in your heart really exists. Also, the Star Cup cannot be touched by mortals..."
...
For a moment.
Time seemed to stand still.
Including Gafan, Saitama, and everyone else, everyone remained motionless, and the scene in front of their eyes turned completely gray.
And those who can move...
There was only Gavan's stunned consciousness, and his confused system that was also frozen.
And, another existence.
Chapter 15: Must Kill, Serious Series, Serious Punch 4K
The world is gray.
The silence without even a sound in your ears is enough to cause panic.
Ga Fan felt that he couldn't even lift a finger and even turn his eyes to carefully observe the surrounding situation.
Cloni, Rick and Hubie were beside him, but at this time they were as still as statues, even though their faces still maintained the expressions of the previous moment, looking lifelike.
Even Saitama is like this.
what is happening? !
"System, what happened?"
Gafan hurriedly called the system in his heart, but the other party also replied in a timid voice.
"Watch out, something is coming."
"?"
