A middle school cartoonist

Regarding the question raised by Makoto Takahashi "Does mankind need heroes?" Yoshida gave an affirmative answer...

Although Takahashi Makoto didn't say it explicitly, Yoshida could tell that Takahashi Makoto was quite dissatisfied with his answer...even the contempt in his eyes was so undisguised!

However, Makoto Takahashi did not explain too much, and even the taunt that could cause Yoshida critical damage in the past did not appear... Makoto Takahashi didn't even say a word, but just stuffed a thick stack of manga manuscripts into it. In Yoshida's hands!

"Is this the manga manuscript of the latest chapter of the comic "One Punch Man"?" Yoshida looked at the manga manuscript in his hand, and then looked at the playful expression on Makoto Takahashi's face, and instantly understood a certain middle-class cartoonist. idea...

The answer... lies in the manga manuscript of this episode!

A huge meteorite is about to fall to the earth... This is the beginning of the comic "One Punch Man" written by Yoshida!

Should this be a gift from the universe, or should it be said to be a [reversal impulse] from the world consciousness that wants to destroy mankind?

When the [Heroes Association] observed the meteorite and deduced the location of its fall, it had already begun arranging to evacuate the residents living at the destination where the meteorite fell... Although the evacuation order had been issued, no matter whether it was the humans fleeing in panic in the city, Several observers in the [Hero Association] have actually understood that it is too late now!

The place where the huge meteorite fell was City Z where Saitama-sensei lived!

Even though the [Heroes Association] has issued an order to summon heroes, it is expected that the super beings as heroes can destroy... No, it is even just expected that the heroes can slightly block the falling of the meteorite and buy more time for the humans who are escaping. , but at this point in time when City Z is about to be destroyed, which hero can stand up at this critical moment to resist this natural disaster that is impossible for humans to resist?

In other words... Who the hell would be stupid enough to stay when they know that they are going to die?

As the time for the meteorite to fall became shorter and shorter, the humans who were escaping in a hurry gradually fell into despair... After all, anyone with a little common sense knows that after the meteorite falls, the powerful impact will destroy Z City in an instant; and At the same time, the impact of the impact of the meteorite on City Z will even destroy several nearby cities!

Despair began to spread among humans. Countless humans who found that there was no escape began to pray silently, hoping that at this moment, a hero would appear to reverse the crisis, a hero who would appear at such a critical moment and complete the task in a way that turned the tide. [Shooting down falling meteorites] This impossible task creates an existence called [Miracle]!

And the so-called [Heroes]... aren't they the ones who stand up at critical moments, crush despair and bring hope?

Genos-san, who had just obtained...no, should be said to have just upgraded his new equipment, did not ignore the summons of the [Heroes Association] like other [Heroes], but rushed to the place where the meteorite was about to land as soon as possible. City Z!

There are three heroes who appear at the same time as Genos, and they are all S-level beings in the [Heroes Association]! However, it is a pity that even the three top S-level combat heroes who belong to the [Heroes Association] still cannot prevent the meteorite from falling...

After Metal Knight controlled the robot to bombard the meteorite with missiles, he found that the meteorite could not be destroyed and quickly left the scene...

Although Mr. Bang Gu, the soy sauced [Silver Fang], has the ability to protect himself, he is also unable to prevent the meteorite from falling...

And Genos-san... after seeing his two colleagues give up, he did not feel discouraged, but instead made a last-ditch effort! An energy beam similar to the signature move [Turtle Style Qigong] in the comic "Dragon Ball" was emitted from Genos's hand, aiming directly at the huge meteorite falling from the sky...

"...I will use this blow now and give all my strength!"

Screaming at the top of your lungs, exerting all your energy to output... In order not to crush the meteorite, but at least to delay the time a little!

However, even if the scene created by Genos is quite exaggerated, in the face of this natural disaster, it can still only be regarded as a desperate struggle of mankind... Genos, who exhausted his energy, could not even destroy the meteorite, let alone delay it. The falling time didn’t do it either…

"There are still nine seconds...please run away, Mr. Banggu!" Faced with his own powerlessness and impending despair, while Genos resigned as if giving up, he also did not forget to remind him that he had been playing soy sauce just now. Another hero of!

"Old man, I'll leave this guy to you!" Just when Genos was desperate, a bald man wearing a weird uniform suddenly appeared!

"You, who are you?"

"I am a...interest-driven hero!"

As the words fell, Teacher Saitama half-bent down, and after briefly accumulating strength, he suddenly jumped upwards... And on the roof of the house that was used as a lever, a large area of ​​turtles appeared at the moment Teacher Saitama jumped. Crack marks!

"Don't fall..." Teacher Saitama, who was flying towards the meteorite, raised his right fist, stared at the huge meteorite, and roared with gritted teeth, "My... city!"

Then……

Just like the plot routine after Mr. Saitama's appearance, the huge meteorite was shattered with one punch, forming a [Bald Saitama Special Edition] meteor shower over Z City, which was originally going to be destroyed!

Of course, the fragments of the meteorite shattered by Saitama still brought a catastrophic blow to Z City...

"Although I had guessed the development of the plot before, when I actually watched it, I found it was more exciting than I could imagine..." Yoshida, who was still savoring the power of Saitama's punch just now, was about to continue reading the comic manuscript when he found that Takahashi Makoto stretched out his hand to press the comic manuscript... So Yoshida, who was anxious to continue observing the comic manuscript, couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Cheng, what are you doing? Don't stop me from continuing to read it!"

"Tsk, it seems that my cat has not completed the task assigned to you before! "Looking at Yoshida's bewildered look, Takahashi Makoto curled his lips unhappily and complained with a frown, "If you have already read the comic manuscript of the [original version], you should have known the next plot..."

"Uh... Sorry, Makoto!" Yoshida did not finish reading the previous magical [original version], so the moment Takahashi Makoto exposed him, a certain editor apologized very sincerely... Even if he could find a hundred excuses to deny it, Yoshida also felt that a certain middle school cartoonist probably had a hundred and one ways to make him admit it, so at this time, he might as well apologize sincerely!

"Tsk, is this the attitude of a sincere apology? Go and commit seppuku a million times, my dear cat!" But even if he apologized sincerely, Takahashi Makoto's attitude today was as bad as ever!

"Seppuku... a million times? Hey, people will die if they seppuku once!" After Yoshida complained weakly, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he said embarrassedly, "Speaking of which, Cheng, let's discuss other things later... How about letting me finish reading the comic draft of this episode first?"

"My beloved cat, before that..." Takahashi Makoto retracted his hand that was pressing on the comic draft and asked Yoshida the same question again, "Do humans need heroes?"

"Of course!" Looking at the comic draft in his hand, Yoshida was much more confident when answering this time! "It is precisely because of heroes like Genos and Saitama that the humans in Z City can avoid the fate of being destroyed by meteorites... Speaking of which, Cheng, your own comics have already given a good answer, why do you have to confirm with me again and again? By the way, you are not planning something again, are you?"

"I really don't have a plan this time... I just have expectations for some interesting things, that's all!" Takahashi Makoto narrowed his eyes and looked at Yoshida, saying so!

"…Another endless loop of answers like [Interesting things \u0026 no plans]?" Yoshida, who was already familiar with the routine of a certain chuunibyou manga artist, frowned at Takahashi Makoto, and wisely did not ask Takahashi Makoto stupid questions like [What do you mean by interesting things]!

"Eh? My beloved cat, even if you don't believe me, you should believe in you who believe in me!" Takahashi Makoto deliberately used this tongue-twisting answer to interfere with Yoshida's thinking, "…Anyway, I'm just looking forward to it!"

"By the way, what are you looking forward to, Makoto?" Yoshida began to feel a little scared...

I always felt that once Takahashi Makoto looked at me with a weird smile, it would be the time for me to be tricked!

"Well, I'm looking forward to what kind of expression you will show after reading this chapter of the comic manuscript... If you reveal a little information, it's probably like this!" Takahashi Makoto said with narrowed eyes...

"Hmm? The comic manuscript of this chapter?" Yoshida suddenly felt that [I think I'm going to be fooled again]...

"Hey, my beloved cat, keep going! Weren't you eager to observe the comic manuscript before?" Seeing Yoshida start to hesitate, a middle school manga artist began to [instigate], "Your hesitant attitude... As the editor-in-chief, my soul is crying! Hey, keep observing! Hurry up!"

This time it will definitely not be an illusion... Yoshida can pat his chest and touch his conscience to guarantee that the remaining comic manuscripts in his hands that have not been finished will definitely have pitfalls!

"This strong sense of déjà vu of an instigator... ah, what a pity!" As if possessed by a certain Kamijou boy, Yoshida sighed helplessly, frowned, picked up the comic in his hand, and continued to observe the rest of the content!

My beloved cat, after reading the rest of the comic...

Will you still be able to stick to your original intention... insist on the answer that [Humanity needs heroes]?

Or... will you fall into a vortex of contradictions and entanglements from now on, and spend the rest of your life struggling and wandering in the cruelty and darkness called [reality]?

Persist in hope or step into despair?

My beloved cat, your choice...

is the interesting thing that I really look forward to!
