[One Strike Man] Saijie Doujin Collection

He showed a clear expression: "Could it be about, ah..." He pursed his lips and smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, I asked too much, then, see you next time. Say hello to him for me."

Not long after leaving without a license, the table was cleaned up again, and the two cups of hot tea placed in front of him were slowly smoking. The zombie man had no intention of moving, so he lit a cigarette again, thoughtfully: At that time, I wondered, why in this world can people survive with only their brains?"

"Is it weird?" Saitama sat down on the seat where he had sat without a license, and said to the shopkeeper, "Excuse me, two servings of wakame, two servings of fish balls, and... let me see... by the way, all of them It's all takeout."

"How is he?" the zombie man asked after Saitama finished ordering.

"Are you talking about Genos? Same old." Saitama said calmly, "I've forgotten a lot recently. The doctor said that because his brain is shrinking faster than normal people."

They still live in that house. At the beginning, Saitama just wrote today's activities on a piece of paper and pasted it on every door in the house. Later, the paper became longer and more content , Including the simple usage of every tool in the house, Genos’s sleep time is prolonged, in exchange for shortening the time for organizing notes, sometimes he will forget how to write a certain word and how to spell each sentence.

Every night they huddled under a quilt, the two of them huddled together and talked nonsense, and they discussed weirder questions than ever before, like "Who made Scrabble in newspapers" or "What You can make the cat bark under certain circumstances", and so on.

Genos sleeps very honestly, probably because he often lies on the laboratory table. His sleeping posture is so stiff that Saitama can't look directly at it, so Saitama always deliberately messes up the quilt, with his arms and legs crossed. On Janos, use him as a pillow.

"The sleeping position is so stiff every day, aren't you tired?"

"Then, please tell me, teacher, what posture should I use to fall asleep?"

"Relax, like this?" Saitama made a very relaxed lying down position.

Genos imitated the teacher's appearance, and lay down awkwardly: "As expected of the teacher, he can fall asleep while maintaining such an incomprehensible posture. Is this some kind of strange method of strength cultivation?"

"It's just ordinary sleeping. Ordinary! Is it strange that you are so stiff?"

The two of them tossed and turned to study the sleeping position, doing some boring and silly things that they had to do together, as if to pass the time.Finally Saitama pulled the blanket over them, and the night activities began.

It's really strange to say that Genos can't even be called "old" at all, his appearance hasn't changed much, even if the doctor has helped him fix it once, but from Saitama's point of view, Genos didn't change when he met them any difference.As always, heroes and monsters never give up, Saitama is still the most powerful man on earth.

But Genos's brain was quickly discarded and discarded over time.Saitama never thought that he would watch someone slowly die, no, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, there is no need to be surprised, what surprised him was that there was someone who walked with him so far, for so long, long enough Cross the finish line of life together.

"Saitama, do you know what it's like to have a shrinking brain?" the zombie man said.

Saitama thought for a while: "It hurts? Like a headache?"

"no feeling."

"Hey! How come?"

"Yes, is it strange? Although the brain is responsible for processing signals from other body parts, as far as the brain itself is concerned, it cannot feel pain. Even if it is cut in half, it will not hurt."

"That's it."

"I think, if Saitama is a villain, he should be with me now, right?"

"What's the matter? Why do you say that?"

"Because my body is eternal, if I take out my brain and put Genos's brain in my head, Genos will become the next 'undead'." Although it is dangerous content, but the zombie man's attitude is very idle: "It won't hurt anyway, and for Genos, the strongest villain on earth doesn't care about taking a risk?"

"...Ha..." Unable to understand what the zombie man said, Saitama just looked up at the bright lights on the ceiling.

Saitama unbuttoned Genos's clothes for the first time and put his hands on his skin. It was obviously a cold artificial object, but he felt the warmth like an illusion. At that time, Genos changed back to the artificial skin and replaced the metal. The shell, the obsession with hatred made him give up becoming a human being, and his love for the teacher made him regain his human identity.

They don't quarrel very much, and Genos's stubbornness always makes Saitama feel helpless, and when he is really angry and wants to shout, Genos has an innocent expression that doesn't understand why Saitama is angry.The beginning is unknown, but Saitama knows that he has met his nemesis. Even if he can decide Genos's actions with one action or a word, Genos can also use his own method to hold Saitama's reaction.

should.

"What if one day I forget the teacher?"

"Huh? Are you starting to worry about this?"

"I'm serious."

"At that time, I will write my name on your forehead with an oil-based pen, and you will remember it when you look at yourself in the mirror every day."

"But, Sensei, what if I think 'Saitama' is my name?"

"What should I do?... Our names have long been indistinguishable."

"Hey?"

"Because, if someone yelled 'Ganos—' in the street, I'd turn around too."

"As expected of Teacher Saitama." Genos nodded in conviction, and wrote this sentence in his notebook.

Because the memory in the brain is fading faster and faster, for a period of time, Genos spent a lot of time reviewing Saitama's daily records, until that night, Saitama lay under the quilt and wanted to call Jie North came to chat, and the other party was still looking at the notebook, and he was angry.

"Jenos." He snatched the notebook from Genos's hand: "These are not important at all, it doesn't matter if you throw them away now."

"But teacher, if I don't read the notebook, how can I know everything about the teacher."

"What nonsense?" The notebook in Saitama's hand tilted a little, and it tapped gently on Genos' forehead: "Compared to chatting with the real me, would Genos spend his time on boring materials? ?”

"However, the notebook records are more comprehensive, and..."

"What happened in the past is not important, what matters is what you should do now." Saitama said with a straight face, pulling the quilt to cover them.

……

After the oden is wrapped, the scent will still come out through the cracks. Saitama stood up holding the box, and suddenly heard the zombie man say something nonsensical: "So, that's it?"

"Although I don't know what your purpose is." Saitama turned his head to look at him, and replied without thinking: "But, that's it."

Saitama has already received this strange concern from the zombie man, so tell him that everything is fine.

In the past, I always felt that the relationship between people is very fragile, and important people should be kept in front of my eyes at all times and cannot be separated at all times. Later, I felt more and more that how long a relationship can last has nothing to do with external factors, it is nothing more than looking at the heart No matter how you think about it, if you think about the other party's words, whether you can meet each other from time to time is not that important.But no matter what, it must be the most ideal state to think about the other party in your heart and be able to accompany the other party in your life.

At this time, they are in the most ideal state.

"I'm back, Genos."

"Teacher, welcome back."

"I brought oden."

"Sensei, I made udon noodles. You can put oden in it."

"Oh, that's nice."

As the brain becomes more and more useless, people's sense of happiness will also increase. Although Saitama knew that Genos's expression in front of him was completely different from that of other people, he never thought that one day Genos would be really happy. The word "happiness" would be spoken to him.

"I'm very happy."

"You..."

It would be too ugly for two big men to cry at each other, so Saitama knocked Genos on the head: "Will it really not hurt?"

"Ok?"

"It doesn't seem to hurt." Saitama smiled unnoticed.

Just like that day, the hero who was accused was walking home, and the blond boy who followed him said: "Even if the whole world opposes, I will stand by the teacher."

"I don't care," turned his face away, Saitama raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

They still live in that house and live a peaceful life, Saitama never changes and doesn't care if the passing of time can overcome him as long as Genos remembers how udon is done.
