4 A Man Return to Nature.

A single girl sat in her school chair, her table filled with random writings. No one knows what sort of pens was used to it but the random writings on her desk were red or black.

Her desk had no empty space that hadn't curses. First of all, it was bad enough to write a drawing on someone's desk without their permission.

Above all that, the random writings on her desk were filled with curses.

She kept a straight face while smiling but the snickers and the criticizing whisper around her entered her ears, even if she was unwilling.

Despite so, she endured the harassment of her classmates with a smile.

Call it the jealousy of women, all she did in school was act normally like the person she was but those girls swarmed around her.

Their harassment started with talking bad about her behind her back, hiding her belonging, then finally filling in the dead animals inside her desk or locker.

She had no parents to tell her about it, and neither were there classmates who would help her. When even the teacher refused to help her did she finally noticed that she had no ally in this school, in this world.

Even the lectures today barely entered her mind due to the daily harassment from the girls during the classes.

After hearing the final chime of the bell, she dashed off to escape from the spot because who knows what the girls would do to her.

Fortunately, the girls were busy talking amongst themselves that they didn't notice her figures.

...

However, unfortunately, there was a certain pervert in front of her cheap-down apartment's room door.

"Please let me live in there!"

"Cleaning, cooking, washing, I will do everything!"

"And I will not expense a single money on food, electricity, or water! Please let me live in your house for some time!"

Showing the utmost respect and the highest level a Japanese man can show while begging, someone near her age was 'dogeza'ing' in front of her door.

The man who was kneeling on the floor had a gloomy aura and a long bang that covered his eyes. Moreover, the small 6 scars which are similar to cat whiskers especially stood out.

She almost thought it was make-up but on second look she noticed that it was scars.

At first, she thought of closing the door and if he wasn't still willing to leave by then would she call the police but she didn't.

Firstly, calling cast money. She was barely living, taking on many part-time jobs.

Secondly, she thought the man in front of her was similar to her. Without an ally in this world, the two lives in solitude.

Thirdly, she was tired.

Doing her best, attending school every day just to be bullied. If it wasn't for the educational purpose to secure a better future, she would've quit that school.

"Please take care of me." Finishing the council meeting inside her head, the girl bowed and said.

"Of course, you'd declin-... What did you just say?" the man in front of her, Amachi Shun said baffled.

He was looking at her as if he was looking at an angel.

"Be not afraid, for I deal no harm." the girl couldn't help but joke around after seeing his cat who has been found of their mischief face.

As crazy as it sounds to allow a stranger moreover, a man to live in her house, she was so done with her life, that she left her fate in the hand of a stranger.

"Thank you very much!!" not minding her small joke, Shun sent his gratitude with his voice shaking. These days, these times.

He almost gave, he even thought it was the end for him. Without doing anything, without wishing for anything, he thought he would spend life at the bottom of society.

Having no roofs to stay on, at night he would sleep with his cardboard friends, while when he was hungry he would eat the food he stole from the trashcan. He imagined such future.

But a goddess appeared in front of him.

"Thank you... Thank you..." crying, Shun repeated his words. Only by now did Shun truly know how relieving it was to have a place to return.

Shun will never forget this deed no matter how much time passes or even if his memory was erased.

The girl resisted her hand.

...

Half a month has passed since then and Shun's life has been smooth since then.

The apartment the girl was living in was cheap but it had enough room for 1LDK, with living, dining, and kitchen connected plus a room.

Shun slept in the living room while the girl, which is Fio, from what he learned, later on, slept in her room.

Shun found a job quickly, with his look he was able to easily pass the interview.

His life now steads compared to before, he was able to know more about this world.

As he speculated, it was the world of One Punch Man. He fully noticed it when he saw the name of the city he's living in... Q City.

From A-Z, akin to Amazon, this city had all the alphabet in their city name. It was easier to remember compared to Japan in his previous name.

Another thing he finds out is... The girls around here were especially cute/sexy. Like, the average beauty rate of people here was about above thrice compared to Japan he was in.

It was the number of seeing an idol-level of beauty normally when you walk around the town. Even Fio, whom Shun is living with, was one hell of a beauty he have never seen anyone surpassing in his past life.

Murata-sensei's art style affected especially well this world. Such were the thoughts of Shun after he escaped the life of homeless.

'I haven't read the manga all the way but it should be fine.' Shun concluded his thought and headed toward the Watchdog Man after finishing his part-time job.

"That boy, he is there again." a whisper could be heard from the passerby.

Like usual, Shun sat on the floor, in front of Watchdog Man without minding the gaze of the crowds.

Shun showed an incredible will by staring at the Watchdog Man silently for an hour. When he first got here to be taught how to move like Watchdog Man, he was ignored by that person.

After finding out that whatever he said would be ignored, Shun decided to sit by and silently observes Watchdog Man's movement.

Today would be the same. He would simply stare at Watchdog Man and wait until he does something.

The usual day which Shun thought had a change in it. A large number of dogs came toward Watchdog Ma- no, toward Shun.

One of them pounced toward Shun and began licking his face. Just as Shun tried patting the dog, the Watchdog Man finally moved.

Keeping an expressionless face, he pointed his huge paw toward Shun and then to the dog. "Imitate them."

Shun's tenacity or the desire to satisfy his curiosity had finally won over the Watchdog Man, Shun became a pain in the ass for him so he decided to call someone to train him.

'So you could talk.' Shun thought inwardly but decided to not say. Without saying a word, he followed the leaving herds of dogs on four legs.

...

The dogs took Shun far away from the City Q, he was out of the plains, and the surrounding filled natures without a single human to be spotted.

Shun tried to calm his exhausted breathing while trying to endure the pain caused by his leg spasm.

He felt awkward running four-legged and due to him moving the way his body isn't used to, it took more energy to cause a movement.

He felt like giving up midway after running like 4km on four-leg but he barely held it on after being curious about where the dogs were taking him.

While the dogs looked normal, with their tongue out like usual, Shun felt like dying with sweat coming out from everywhere in his body.

His clothes were drenched as if he took a shower with his clothes on while his legs feels like breaking if he took more steps.

Unable to hold his body with the remaining energy he had, he exhaustingly laid down with his mouth trying to take in as much breath to lung.

*woof*

*woof*

*roar*

*quack!*

*nyaa*

Soon after, a bunch of animals came closer toward him, looking at him with curiosity.

This chapter feels dull compared to before
