Hector Can't Catch a Break - Komi-san

...

Haah~ I really need this break.

Right now I'm reclining on a bench in a snowy park, relaxing, and enjoying the refreshing and cold wind.

In this slice-of-life comedy world, I had no worries about Cosmic Horrors, Aliens Overlords, Crazy Scientists, or Narcissistic Supervillains to take away my peace.

Heck, even the good guys are too much trouble nowadays.

Politics, status quo blah, blah, blah.

Just save lives assholes.

Only a select few are the saving grace.

Thankfully I have some good friends and my girls to cleanse my soul and wash away my thoughts on using [Power Manipulation] and taking everyone's powers like how a strict parent would take the children's toys for not behaving themselves.

And I swear that the next time that a politician tries to pass a meta registration law I'm going full V for Vendetta and blowing the parliament.

Aaah~ I sigh again.

I like this climate you know. Cold > Heat, sorry.

As someone that lived his first decade and a half of life in Brazil, I was not familiar with snow. So I always like it.

Much better than sand too, by the way.

You know the words...

Sand is coarse and rough and it gets everywhere.

But is not only because of the climate that I'm here. I could have gone to the Japan of my universe if that was the case.

A slice-of-life anime is good to relax. I just need to get away from everything for one day. I had a trash 1-day Low-Tier Travel Ticket anyway

The atmosphere around me cleanses my body and mind and seeing the characters of Komi-san playing in the snow cleanses my heart.

Look at them having a snowball war.

Wait... When they bought a snow bazooka? And the huge snow castle was there before? Did my dear Elsa follow me here and is helping them?

I continue to watch over them...

Komi tries to hit people with snowballs and going nervous when she actually does it. Afraid of being hated by them.

Tadano watches over her like a parent, even when he is being targeted by Yamai for being too close to Komi.

And Yamai tried to make Komi's clothes wet, probably to try to see through them or bring her to a secluded place with an excuse of drying her.

Not on my watch, Yamai Ren.

'Triple Maximize Magic: Great Blessing' I cast discreetly in Komi-san

"Waah! The snowballs are not hitting Komi-san!"

"No... More than that, they're making curves to dodge her."

"Komi-san is loved by God!!!"

"Umu. As expected of Komi-san... Even God is her fan."

The people here are weird...

At this moment Yamai tries to "slip" and hug Komi and fall together with her, but she truly slips and goes rolling away till she hit a wall. The snow even sticks at her, trapping her in a big snowball.

"Noooo! Even God is against me!!!" She screams in frustration. She then looks up determinedly with fire in her eyes "So I need to kill God." She declares, emerging from the big snowball by exploding it.

Again, from where did she take those grenades?

But then she was hit by a bunch of snow, enough to bury her again. Najimi hasn't wasted the opportunity and attacked.

Heh. Good job.

Looking at Najimi, I decide that now is the time to finally answer the question...

What is his/her gender?

I activate one of my many information-gathering powers, analyzing her body without being intrusive I will receive the answer.

*Beep*

[Osana Najimi

Gender: ? ]

What??

Impossible. This power is an upgraded version of Inuyashiki-san scans with Tattletale shard!!!

I refuse to give up.

I activate even more powers. My Cosmic Sense focus in Najimi. I can feel the knowledge going to my brain, I establish a connection with the universe itself and peek through the truth of the world.

[Osana Najimi

Gender: Najimi ]

Whatafuck!!!

If there was a table in my frente I would have flipped it.

I refuse to go too far and use X-ray vision to peek inside his/her pants.

Let's use microscopic vision and see her chromosomes...

"..."

What type of chromosomes are those?

Why are they are mini-Najimis???

Okay, I give up.

I don't want to know anyway.

Gag universes are weird

Even if I peek at her privates, I will probably see some mosaic or some censorship like that.

Ugh... I'm here to relax, not use in getting stressed over someone's gender. Who I'm? The woke culture?

While covering my eyes with my forearm I feel something hot touch my fingers.

Uncovering my eyes I look at my side to see Tadano holding a can of coffee while looking at me a little bashfully.

"You looked like too much in your mind... So I thought you would want some hot beverage to help to think in this cold weather or distract yourself a little." He says while looking away and scratching his cheek

Okaaay... It is needed to say, my Poker Face is awesome. Really high level. So would be okay if I looked lonely or melancholic here...

But too much on my mind? Very specific Tadano-kun!

This guy really how to read the mood.

I'm not surprised, I already assimilated a Tadano card, but being a Chad that reads the mood is a subtle thing.

"Thanks man, I appreciate it." I say while opening the can

"Oh! Hector!! You're here!" What? No one should know me here. I came without background.

I look behind Tadano to see Najimi wave at me with a big smile on his/her face.

"You have seen my message, huh? Why didn't you replied?" Najimi says while looking at her phone

"Do you know him, Najimi?" Tadano asks

I look at my phone and there's a contact that shouldn't be there: Childhood Friend Najimi ♥.

"Yes. He is my childhood friend from Brazil." He/she answers normally

Whattahell!!

Since when???

At this moment an influx of memories assaults my mind

"..."

He is my childhood friend for some reason. And he was the one who wrote his name on my contact list, hence the "♥".

How?

I look at this creature more closely now...

Did he/she is some sort of eldritch monstrosity that inserts itself in people's pasts and memories to live off the feelings of friendship?? Like a cosmic psych parasite.

This gag world is ridiculous.

"Let's play, Hector." He/she says pulling my arm to make me stand up "Hector is on my team!!" He/she declares to everyone

Najimi then pulls me to a snowball wall, even convincing everyone that the loser should take a punishment. To pay a yakiniku to the winners

She even accepts the "unfair" situation of being teamed only with me, against everyone else.

I look at her smirking behind me like a supervillain

"Fools! Hector is invincible! Didn't you guys know that the transfer student is always OP?" She murmurs to herself

Since when have I'm a transfer student?

Hm? Wait, I am.

How? I'm sure that I have come here as "Drop-In". Ugh

Well, whatever. Let's play.

.....

Needless to say. We... I destroyed everyone.

No mercy was given.

When a Quasi-Universal Level powerhouse goes play snowball with high schoolers... Not so much fair.

Did I purposefully hit Yamai much more than the others? Yes.

.....

Later in a restaurant.

"Aah~This is the good stuff!" Najimi exclaims shameless while eating a piece of meat that she just cooked

"Eating for free makes the food more delicious, huh?" I ask he/she.

"Exactly!"

"Najimi tricked us." Yamai exclaims

"Meh, stop whining. Hector ended up paying for everything anyway." Najimi says

"Dude... That moves are insane." Chairai Shigeo, the boy with spike hair, comments.

"Yes. He literally countered snowballs with other snowballs. Hitting it in the air and changing their trajectory." Sonoda Taisei, the boy with black slick to behind hair, says.

"Teach me the ways, sensei." Shinobino Mono, the ninja, addressed me while bowing respectfully.

I just laugh it off and enjoy the atmosphere.

I'm sitting between Najimi and Onemine Nene, the one that gives big sister vibes.

She turns to me and puts her hand to cover her mouth. "If Najimi is extorting you, just say that we share the bill." She says considerately

"Hey! I'm not extorting him! And Hector is super rich anyway-" The creature rises up to defend herself but I just stuff his/her mouth with meat... Wait that sounded wrong.- to shut its mouth. I will call Najime "It" now

"Relax." I say to Onemine while high-speeding feeding Najimi "I have a lot of tickets from this place. Will be super cheap in the end." I lie.

These guys are the type that wouldn't accept someone paying the bill alone.

Then I move fast and turn the meat of the girl beside Onemine, the one that lives on her own time Otori Kaede, because it's almost burning,

And I feed her too.

"Thaaaaaaaaaank~ Yooooooooou~" She said slowly with a smile.

Onemine smiles at me too.

I like these two.

"Next time we should plan a barbecue and invite Hector, his food is great too..." Najimi says at my side

"Oh! You can cook too?" Onemine asks

"A little..." I answer modestly

" 'A little'... " Najimi scoffs "his food is like a miracle that you can eat. He seasons it with happy memories and hopes for a good future..." Najimi says dreamily

Again, how the fuck does it know about it? Is it like Deadpool?

.....

After some time we left the restaurant while I carry a round Najimi on my shoulder.

""""""" Thank you for the food!"""""""" Almost everyone exclaims

After I wave and start to turn around to drop the creature in its home I'm stopped

Komi'san stop sat my front and I look at her.

She starts trembling...

I know what she wants to say and I decide to help her.

"Today was fun, Komi-san..." I comment.

She looks surprised and nods.

Then she says with a voice like a mosquito "T-thank you for the food..." And turns around and runs away

Everyone looks at her like proud parents to the timid and blushing Komi-san

'That's a good dessert...' I can almost hear everyone's thoughts in the starry sky.

She thanked a stranger. Even I'm proud of her.

.....

Later that day I received the usual prompt.

The world stops and turns grey from my perspective and even I can't move from the place where I am.

[Your stay here has reached the end. Do you wish to prolong it?]

[Yes] (Use of Travel Ticket required. Remaining: 52)

[No]

"..." I stare at this prompt hard. Hesitating...

....

"Give your warm welcomings to our new student..." The female teacher says completely uninterested while I stood ahead of the class.

"My full name is Hector Bellucci de Carvalho." I fast write on the board in all possible ways " 'Bellucci' is derived from the adjective 'Beautiful' in Italian and 'Carvalho' means 'Oak' in Brazilian Portuguese. 'Hector' comes from Greek and means 'the one that safe keep/guards or protect' " I say with a smile

"But 'Hector' can also be the act of bully or intimidating someone in Latin... But I don't like this meaning very much." I explain the duality of my name.

"Nice to meet you all" Let's extend this vacation a little more.

.....

A.N.:

Depending on the feedback, maybe will be a continuation to the Komi-san universe.

If he continues, shoud he have some romantic pairing?

Choose one.

1- Manbagi needs loves too (But recently she was having a good thing with that feeotball guy)

2- The new girl Kawai. (The perfect gir to the perfect guy, take her off from Komi and tado's back0

3- Onemine or other. (I like Onemine if you guys hadn't noticed)
