Let's become a hero

"Uncle, who is this?"

"Oh, this is..."

"I am a lone cyborg fighting for justice. I am called Genos, and I am also Saitama-sensei's disciple."

Genos, a young man with a cyborg body, bowed his head at Tamazuki. "I have that you call Sensei by an Uncle. Are you his nephew or something?"

"Well, not really, though. We are neighbors. My name is Inugamigyoubu Tamazuki. You can call me Tamazuki, Genos."

"Yes, Tamazuki-kun." Genos nodded.

"...." Saitama.

---

The next day, right after the battle with the mosquito mutant, Genos, the cyborg young man who fought for justice, came to his apartment.

Still, Tamazuki was speechless. "Uncle, if you have a guess, then you should bring it to your apartment instead of mine."

"Your place is more comfortable, especially when you have an air conditioner in your room."

Unlike his, Tamazuki's room had an air conditioner, so Saitama loved to stay. If possible, he also wanted to sleep here, but he knew that was asking a bit too much, and the thought of two men living in the same place was kind of weird. However, it wouldn't hurt to come to play from time to time.

"Well, it's fine, but don't forget to clean up."

"Yes, you don't need to worry."

Genos was silent as he watched the two and didn't dare to interrupt them since, for someone who could talk with Saitama so freely, Tamazuki definitely wasn't someone that could be underestimated.

Moreover, Genos could see how special Tamazuki's presence was.

Tamazuki was so divine, which made Genos wonder whether Tamazuki was a god or something.

While such an existence would make him feel unbelievable, the existence of a monster was the same case, so in case a monster appeared, the existence of god wasn't so unbelievable, right?

"Then, Genos, go and talk with your teacher."

"Okay."

"Wait! Wait! I haven't agreed to become your teacher! Moreover, if you want a teacher, you should ask Tamazuki instead. He is also strong."

"Really? Is he as strong as you, Sensei?" Genos was surprised as he looked at Tamazuki.

Tamazuki rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to him. I was beaten by him. If you want a teacher, you should go after Uncle. His power is real."

"Then, Saitama-sensei, please accept me!"

Genos bowed his head to the ground.

"....." Saitama.

The two then continued with their conversation while Genos asked what kind of cyborg Saitama was and whether Saitama's skin was armor and wondered why Saitama was bald at a young age.

Their conversation was so funny that Tamazuki decided to stay for a while.

However, Genos's existence was good, especially because he was the source of his energy, which was his core.

According to his observation, Genos's core was a nuclear reactor, yet the size was relatively small, which was quite innovative. It was like one used by an uncle with red robotic armor.

Yet, while they had their conversation, Tamazuki stood up from his sofa.

"Huh? Tamazuki, are you going somewhere?" Saitama, who got bored listening to Genos's explanation, quickly looked at Tamazuki, hoping to follow since he didn't want to be troubled by Genos.

"I am going on a date."

"Okay, I am going—wait?! What?! A date?! You?!" Saitama looked at Tamazuki in shock.

"Yes."

"....." Saitama.

"Genos continues your conversation with Uncle. Good luck with your training."

Tamazuki waved his hand and left.

"Yes!"

Genos nodded eagerly.

Only Saitama was in a daze and looked at Tamazuki with an annoyed expression, but he let out a long sigh, thinking that having hair was really good.

---

"Good. Since you are here, let's follow us to observe our job as a hero."

Fubuki nodded at Tamazuki, who came while showing prestige as a leader of the Fubuki Group.

"........"

Tamazuki was in silence while staring at Lily.

Lily clapped her hands and showed an apologetic expression.

"I was the one who asked her to come with us. I thought that I should show you what it means to become a hero and how wonderful this job is. I also want to introduce you to the members of my group."

Fubuki then looked at her trusted subordinates. "Mountain Ape and Eyelashes. Introduce yourselves to him."

"Yes, Fubuki-sama!" 2x

Mountain Ape, a man with a huge body, and the Eyelashes, a man with long hair and long eyelashes, approached him with a kind smile.

"My name is Mountain Ape. I am B-Class: Rank 3. My power is Wild Switch, and with this ability, I can strengthen my body!"

Even with the black suit, one could see how strong Mountain Ape was from his body alone.

"My name is Eyelashes. I am B-Class: Rank 2. My weapon is these eyelash curlers." Eyelashes showed two eyelashes curlers on his hands like beast claws. Similar to Mountain Ape, he also showed a cool pose.

When the two introduced themselves, the rest also gave their encouragement and excitement, watching the 2nd and 3rd strongest of their groups.

"Awesome, Mountain Ape!"

"Great, eyelashes, as usual, Eyelashes!"

"As expected of two strongest combinations on the Fubuki Group!"

Watching all of this, Fubuki nodded in satisfaction since her group really had grown. Those heroes were all handpicked by her, and she knew all of them had a scary potential that they didn't realize. She believed that since she believed that her eyes were never wrong.

It was also the same case with Tamazuki.

Fubuki could tell that this young man held that potential that he had never thought of, and she was the one that was going to teach him how to utilize that potential.

"So, what do you think of our group? Are you too amazed that you can't talk? But I can't blame you since the Fubuki Group is the number one group in the Hero Association!"

"As expected of Fubuki-sama!"

"Blizzard Group is number one!"

"We are awesome!"

In the middle of the street, all of them talked happily, ignoring the gazes of all the pedestrians around them.

"........"

Tamazuki pulled the bridge of his nose and wondered whether it was really a good choice to take down Fubuki. It wasn't that she wasn't beautiful, but her personality... how to say... it was disappointing.

The system would give him a reward when he got his hand on various heroines, yet it didn't force him to take them.

Even if he didn't use the system, the system was okay with it.

Everything was his choice.

Naturally, in some cases, the system gave him some advice.

The advice was kind of useless, though.

"What do you think? Do you want to join our group?"

"Fubuki-san."

"Yes?"

"I refuse."

"......." Everyone.

"Wh-Why?"

The rest were also restless, but they didn't get angry since they had been repeatedly told by Fubuki and Lily that Tamazuki was as strong as the S-Class Hero. While some of them felt disbelief and even skeptical when they saw him, such thoughts were erased.

After all, while Tamazuki might have deactivated some of his abilities and even made his appearance slightly below his original, he didn't want to be provoked by stupid people.

He was too lazy to face stupid people, so he used his aura so it would make people a good impression and erase their negative thoughts about him.

Still, facing Fubuki's question, Tamazuki said, "It's not a stable job."

When that answer fell, all of them felt like an arrow pierced into their bodies. However, he wasn't wrong.

Even Fubuki was also unable to say anything.

Still, Lily was the only one that was okay with his answer since when she thought about their future; she felt that it was better for him to have a stable job instead of a hero, especially when they had a family in the future.

Lily suddenly blushed when she thought about their future children.

Watching their reaction, Tamazuki sighed. "Well, you are going to work, right? Let me observe how you work."

Hearing that, all of them got up one by one.

"Leave that to us!"

"Let me show you how cool a hero is!"

"Come on! Let's catch the villain over there!"

Fubuki was also ready to show how amazing a hero was.

"You are too gentle..." Lily whispered.

"Really? I am quite rough, though."

"...I don't mean that!" Lilly scolded him with a blush, but well, she didn't hate the rough part of him, though.

Nevertheless, that day, the Fubuki Group gave their everything.

However, Tamazuki had never intended to join the Fubuki Group or even become a hero since he realized that it was quite troublesome, and it also limited his action since sometimes the Hero Association would give him a task or two.

Yet, he didn't expect that a few days after this, Saitama would say, "Tamazuki, let's become a hero!"

"......"
