Bald cape conjurer

Inside the Saitama Prefectural Police Station.

"Ahahaha, I'm so sorry..."

Mu Mushisan, who had a beer belly, stroked the mustache on his lips, while the Saitama police officer who was talking to him showed a embarrassed expression.

Behind the two is the interrogation room of the police station, and Saitama and Genos are handcuffed at the table.Standing next to them was the old acquaintance Gao Mushe.

"By the way, why are you here?" Saitama withdrew his gaze from Megushisan outside the door, and turned to Takagi Shepherd.

"We happened to come to Saitama County to have a job exchange with the local county police, but we didn't expect to meet you." Takagi said speechlessly, "And it was still the case that you were handcuffed as criminals when we met... No, not when not to be criminals, but you are, in fact, criminals yourself."

"This..." Gao Mushe looked at the blond reformer whom he met for the first time.

"My name is Genos." Genos said calmly.

"Mr. Genos, I heard that you collapsed Bridge 88..." Takagi sighed, "Although it involves spells, the high-level police will usually try to give you the green light, but please restrain yourself. It will be troublesome if you are caught in the police station."

Genos looked at Gao Mushe with disapproving eyes, and raised his hand slightly: "The mere police station can't trap me at all. This kind of handcuffs, as long as I exert a little force, they will immediately shatter..."

"Don't break the handcuffs!" Takagi She hurriedly stopped, "If you break the handcuffs, you will be deemed to have the intention to escape!"

Genos: "..."

Fortunately, at this time, Mu Mu Shisan had already finished talking with the county police.The two walked in, and when the county policeman opened the handcuffs with a key, he looked at Saitama and Genos with a bit of inquiry.

Megushisan and Takagi Tsutomu accompanied Saitama and Genos out of the police station.Before going back, Mumu Thirteen warned: "The two of you should act cautiously next, minimize damage to public and private property, and attract attention. By the way, when you conjurers perform tasks, don't you always let go of the cover-up called 'tent'? ?”

"Mr. Saitama and I don't know how to let go of the 'trap'." Genos replied without concealment.

"..."

Mumu Shisan and Gao Mushe were silent for a moment, then turned and returned to the police station.

"Teacher, it's already four o'clock in the afternoon." Genos asked after glancing at the time, "Let's go to the hotel now."

Saitama came back to his senses: "Well, let's go."

Half an hour later, at the entrance of the Green Forest Hotel.

"You guys are finally back. You didn't even let go of the 'tent', and you just knocked down the 88 bridge...Unbelievable!"

Facing Saitama and Genos who came all the way back from the police station, Akira Nitta, who had been acting mature and stable before, couldn't help but collapse a bit: "The police officer named Takagi called Mr. Gojo, and then Mr. Gojo notified Only after seeing me did I know that you guys did such a thing... What are you guys thinking!"

"You bastard!" Genos stepped forward, "How dare you be rude to Saitama-sensei..."

"Huh? Speaking of which, the one who crashed the 88th Bridge was Mr. Genos!" Akira Nitta became even more unhappy, and his voice suddenly became louder, which surprised the menacing Genos, "Normal people don't Will it break the curse like this!"

"you……"

Genos wanted to say something else, but Saitama pulled his arm with black lines all over his head.

"Janos, forget it." He said with a guilty conscience, "This time it is indeed our fault."

But fortunately, Akira Nitta didn't get too entangled in this matter.After she got angry for a few minutes, she sighed: "Forget it, I will write the accident report tonight. Anyway, after getting the news, we went to check the ruins of the 88 Bridge and confirmed that there was no evidence there. There is no smell of any curse. Let's rest at the hot spring hotel tonight."

"Originally we booked an ordinary hotel, but Mr. Gojo helped us upgrade it to a hot spring hotel." Akira Nitta stuffed the room cards into the hands of each of them, "The girls are only me and Wild Rose, of course we two Sleep in one room. There are five of you guys, so divide them into groups of three and groups of two..."

"I share a room with Saitama-sensei." Before Akira Nitta finished speaking, Genos said loudly.

"Oh, then you guys take the room card." Akira Nitta handed the room card for the two-person room to Genos.

Yoshino Junpei, who was standing aside, felt a little regretful.He also wanted to be in the same group as Saitama, but was preempted by Genos.But after looking at his energetic little partner, Yuzu Yuhito, he thought it would be good to be in a trio.

After assigning the room cards, Akira Nitta urged: "Tonight is free to move around, and we will gather here at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Oh——" Knotaba Yuhito pinched the room card in his hand, his eyes lit up, "How should I say it, although I ended the mission without doing anything, I felt a little uneasy, but after getting the room card, another problem occurred. It's a feeling of staying together!"

"This kind of situation is really rare," even Fu Heihui, who knows the college system best, sighed. "After all, colleges are special specialized schools. They don't have shared accommodation or study trips like ordinary schools. Even if students arrive Going farther away is mostly for carrying out missions, coming and going in a hurry, there is no chance to enjoy the hot spring together like now."

"That's great..." Yuzu Yujin stuffed the room card back into his pocket, took out a brochure of the hotel's guest information and flipped through it, "There are quite a variety of hot springs here! Let's go clubbing together later! "

"Well, Mr. Saitama, do you want to go to the hot spring with us later?" Yoshino Junpei asked.

"As for this..."

Saitama's simple face instantly became serious: "I won't go with you, I have my own plan."

……

15 minute later.

"Yoshino and the others want to soak in ordinary hot springs. But what I want to soak in is raw hair hot springs. So it's better to act separately from them."

Saitama, who had already taken off his clothes and put on a towel, was holding a small basket of things, standing by the steamy hot spring pool, staring at the water with his eyes.

"Speaking of which," Saitama turned around and pointed to Genos's smooth and beautiful blond hair, "By the way, Genos, your head has also been modified, so your hair is also artificial fiber."

"Yes, teacher." Genos also held the basket, and solemnly replied, "My hair is made of artificial reinforced fibers, which are resistant to water and heat, but the texture is made by imitating my original hair."

"So Genos, your original hair is so thick and smooth. Ah, how nice."

Saitama put the basket on the shelf in 100 years, and said, "But Genos, since your hair is made of artificial fibers, you don't need to come with me. After all, the hair-growing hot spring won't have any effect on you. "

Genos replied: "I am a cyborg, and most of my body is made of waterproof parts, so no matter what kind of hot spring it is, it can't have an effect on me. Therefore, no matter which hot spring I go to, it is the same."

"Ah, is it?"

After taking off his yukata, Saitama wrapped a towel around his waist and sat in the hot water of the hot spring pool.Genos also sat next to him.As a reformer, he didn't even need to wear a towel.

The raw hair hot spring is steaming and silent.It's not the peak tourist season now, and besides the two of them, there is only one wrinkled old man with a bald head like the Mediterranean Sea left in the hot spring pool.

"Ah—" Saitama let out a sigh of relief when soaked in hot water, and his body slowly slid down, letting the hot water soak up his head.

He said to himself enthusiastically: "Next, as long as you soak in this hot spring, the hair follicles will gradually revive. It's really exciting."

after an hour.

"teacher."

"..."

The Mediterranean old man in the hot spring pool has long since left.And Genos sat in the water, looking at Saitama next to him.

"Teacher," he saw that Saitama didn't speak, and asked again, "Usually, the time to soak in the hot springs is about 10, [-], [-] minutes, but we have already soaked for an hour. Don't you want to go back?"

"..."

I saw that Saitama's skin beside him had been steamed red by the heat of the hot spring, and the facial features on his face had also turned into distorted wavy lines, his whole body was like a potato rolling in boiling water.

"Ah, um." Saitama opened his wavy mouth and reluctantly said, "I still want to soak for a while. I feel that the longer the soaking time, the better the effect of the hot spring, haha, ha... ..."

"There is no scientific basis for this, sir."

"..."

Saitama kept soaking in the water, and suddenly thought of something: "Jenos, if you don't want to soak anymore, go to the vending machine and buy me a bottle of iced milk. It feels so hot and I'm about to dehydrate gone."

Genos was taken aback, and immediately replied: "Yes, teacher!"

Hearing the sound of Genos' footsteps going away and gradually disappearing, Saitama closed his eyes again and floated up and down in the hot spring water.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, footsteps came from the entrance of Shengmao Hot Spring.

"Ah, is it Genos?" Saitama stood up with a "crash" and looked expectantly towards the entrance of the hot spring, "Iced milk—eh?"

Saitama scratched his head in a daze - only to see that the one who entered the hairy hot spring was not the long-awaited Genos with ice milk, but a man dressed like a stripper in Las Vegas guy.

——Bad Aspect came to the hot spring hotel 5 minutes ago following the faint trace of the curse spirit of 88 Bridge.What is certain is that the curse of Bridge 88 followed someone all the way to the hot spring hotel.But the aura of the curse spirit became thinner as time went by, and by the time he chased him to the hotel, that aura had disappeared without a trace.

It was getting dark, and it was impossible to determine who was following the curse that devoured Su Nuo's fingers, so Bad Xiang and his younger brother blood smeared separately in the hotel to look for clues.After parting, Bad Xiang chose a path to move forward, and finally came to Shengmao Hot Spring.

But he didn't find the curse here, all he found was a bald head soaking in a hot spring.

Bad Xiang and Saitama looked at each other, and the silence lasted for a moment.

Saitama's dead fish eyes slowly moved up from the bad-looking face, and finally moved to the top of his head, which had only a central lock of hair and the rest was bald.

"Are you also here to take a bath in the hair-growing hot spring?" Saitama asked blankly, "It's so thorough."

"what?"

The bad looks are inexplicable.However, seeing his own figure in the mirror inlaid on the wall of the sink opposite the hot spring, he quickly understood why Saitama said: "..."

There is no trace of the curse here, and there is no trace of the curse on the bald head with a dull expression soaked in the hot spring.

But even if he encounters a conjurer, Bad Face doesn't intend to provoke him.After all, although their brothers chose to cooperate with real people temporarily, they did not have any deep hatred with humans and magicians, and the task content was limited to getting back the fingers of the two-faced Nuo.

"Looks like it's not here." Bad Xiang muttered to himself, and walked out backwards.

Saitama: "..."

What's the matter with this man, I thought he came in just to grow his hair.

Saitama fell into the hot spring pool water with a "snap", staring at the sky with dull eyes.Above, the night sky is divided into irregular shapes by the green bamboo planted around the hot spring pool.

"Jenos is so slow..."

……

the other side.

Genos ran around in the hot spring hotel, looking for the vending machine.

I thought that the cold milk that the teacher wanted to drink would be available soon, but the milk in several vending machines I met on the road was either sold out or there was no ice.

This caused Genos to speed up all the way to the entrance of the hot spring hotel, and only then found what he wanted to buy in a row of vending machines in the lobby.

"A box of ice milk costs 350 yen, and there are original and strawberry flavors... According to my usual observations, the teacher usually drinks the original flavor."

Genos quickly made up his mind, took out his wallet, took out a few coins from it, and stuffed them into the coin slot.

Halfway through the coin, Janos suddenly heard a soft "ding dong" sound behind him.

He turned around subconsciously, and saw the automatic door of the hot spring hotel behind him slowly opening.But neither the door nor the lobby was empty, only the silence of the night shrouded.

"..."

Genos was silent for a moment, did not speak, but turned around and continued to toss coins.

The last coin sank into the slot, and Genos pressed the button.The cold milk fell down the extraction port with a "boom".

The reformed person bent down, opened the partition of the extraction port, and took out the milk.However, at the moment when he bent down, the cover of Genos' body was lost, and the glass window of the vending machine shimmered, reflecting the terrifying scene behind him.

In the air behind Genos, a cloud of black mist gradually engulfed, and a head with bulging eyes like a goldfish slowly protruded from the center.

The gloomy atmosphere gradually spread, on the goldfish-like head, four swollen eyes opened and closed, and the thick lips puffed up, aiming at Genos whose back was turned to it.

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late. Genos, who seemed defenseless, suddenly "clicked" his arm, turned 180 degrees, and aimed at the mantra behind him. The muzzle in his palm was burning and ready to go. firelight.

"Burning." He said calmly.

The flame from the reformer's palm instantly engulfed the curse spirit who wanted to sneak attack, and the afterimage in the flame struggled and gradually dissipated.Genos controlled the range of the incineration cannon quite accurately, and the flames were blazing within the range where the curse spirit appeared, but the wall decorations around the hot spring hotel were not burned by the flames at all.

The fire in the burner was quickly extinguished.Genos' arm spun back quickly.Holding iced milk in one hand and hot white smoke still emitting from the palm of the other, he turned around.

"Did you think I would be successfully attacked by you unprepared?" Genos lowered his eyebrows, opened and tightened the metal knuckles of his right hand, and said in a cold voice, "Get out quickly! Teacher Saitama is still waiting for me to deliver ice Milk over."

After the voice fell, the night outside the transparent automatic door of the hot spring hotel suddenly changed.

What had been flat asphalt suddenly became a riverbed of soggy coral, seagrass and moss.The stalactites become a support frame, and the slender hyphae pulled out by the fungi are entangled in it, forming milky white cocoons.

Between the stalactite pillars covered with hyphae, a group of scales with wet water patterns moved, gradually opened like a pangolin with its body rolled up, revealing the contents inside——

What was spit out from the scales was a curse spirit dripping with fishy-smelling river water.

If Knotaba Yuhito, Fuguro Megumi, or Nagasaki Wild Rose, who had fought in the youth academy, were there, they would have recognized it immediately. The appearance of this curse spirit was [-]% similar to the special grade curse spirit of the youth academy.

The reason is that these two curse spirits both swallowed a finger of Su Nuo.

The curse power of the two-faced Su Nuo's fingers far exceeds the power of ordinary curses. After swallowing it, the strength of the curse can be forcibly raised to the special level, but the curse affected by the fingers will also develop a similar appearance, as if a mother's brother.

But if Saitama, who also fought against the super curse spirit in the youth academy, would not recognize the curse spirit in front of him if he was there.Because in the eyes of Saitama, the special level of the youth academy was no different from all enemies, and they were all classified as those that did not need to be remembered and could be dealt with with one punch.

"...It's something called Domain." Genos quickly mobilized the knowledge scanned in his mind, "So, this guy is a super..."

"Heh, it can be used to test the function of the parts given by the mechanical pill."

Genos put aside the iced milk in his hand, raised his legs and walked out of the hotel.

"Let's fight outside. Although entering the realm of the curse spirit will be disadvantageous to our side, but if we destroy the building like in the daytime, the teacher may be troubled by that blonde girl (Akira Nitta) again."

"Hey——" Several eyes on the head of the super curse spirit stared at Genos one after another, and let out a strange laugh.

The creepy sound was still lingering in the air, but before the sound disappeared, Genos, who was walking towards the door step by step, suddenly popped up two rows of jet pipes behind his shoulder blades, ejecting six jets of blue-blue roots and orange-red outer flames. Bright fire comes.

The reformed man rushed out of the hotel door like an arrow with the help of reaction force, and the afterimage of the fire behind him was like a golden shooting star.

In the blink of an eye, Genos approached the super magic spirit.The super-level curse spirit waved its sharp-nailed palm, and with a ball of magic power in his hand, he grabbed Genos fiercely.

However, in the next second, the left hand of the blond-haired reformer unexpectedly escaped from his shoulder and sprayed out. It was connected to the shoulder with a steel cable, and his fingers were firmly clamped on the arm of the super curse spirit like iron pliers.

"what--!"

The super magic spirit made a sharp sound, and its body was pulled forward by Genos' pull.However, at this moment, Genos' flight trajectory has changed.

The direction of the flame spurt on his back shoulder was fine-tuned for a moment, and the body centered on the arm grasping the super magic spirit, pulling the steel cable and using the centrifugal force to quickly rotate around it, and the flame ejected from the back as the propulsion power In the dark night, brilliant circular sparks revolving around the curse spirit were drawn.

"Machine gun fire!"

Genos slightly bent his right arm, and an orange flame instantly lit up in his arm, and rained heavy blows on the super magic spirit in front of him.

After Dr. Cusno's transformation, Genos' current highest boxing speed per second is thirteen punches with one hand.Under the rapid attack of lightning and thunder, the darkest corners of the riverbed in the field were illuminated by the fire and lightning generated by the battle.

The super curse spirit opened his eyes wide, raised his head and let out a mournful cry.Genos's attack speed was too fast, the time difference between the fists was shortened to almost nothing, and dozens of dents the size of a bowl appeared on the body of the super curse spirit almost at the same time.

As soon as Genos released his left hand that was clamping its arm, the Super Curse Spirit fell backwards.The egg-sized eyes on its head were protruding, and the round, pitch-black pupils rolled up feebly, leaving only the whites of the eyes covered with bloodshot red.

"last blow!"

Genos didn't drag his feet, put his palms together, and made a series of mechanical rotation sounds with his arms, spreading out a large and small muzzle like lotus petals.

"The Ultimate Burnout!"

The flames blasted from the muzzle on Genos' arm shot straight into the sky, lighting up the night.

At that moment, whether it was the knotweed trio who were soaking in the hot springs, Kizaki wild rose sitting in the room applying skin care products, Nitta Akira who was changing his yukata, and other guests who were doing their own things, they were all shocked by the hotel. Attracted by the firelight at the door.

"Is it a large bonfire?" Saitama, who was soaking in the hot spring, looked up at the flames that shot up in the sky in the distance, and said to himself, "I didn't seem to have heard of the introduction of this project when I checked in."

The super magic spirit gradually disappeared into black smoke under Genos' ultimate incineration cannon.In the next second, the riverbed domain suddenly dissipated, and the hotel entrance returned to its original appearance.

With a "swipe" sound, the reformed man's arm was reinstalled along with the recovered steel cable.Only then did his feet land on the ground and he moved his arms.

"That settles it."

Genos raised his hand, looked at the still hot cannon muzzle in his palm, and was slightly dazed.

"Please, doctor, after using the parts given by the mechanical pill to modify it, the power against the curse spirit has indeed become much stronger. Is it because of the effect of the equipment that increases the spell power?"

A volcanic head appeared in front of Janos' eyes.

Now that the parts have been strengthened, I don't know if he can defeat that volcano head again...

At this moment, the body of the super curse spirit in front completely dissipated, and suddenly something fell down with a "clang" and landed on the hard concrete ground.

"Huh?" Genos' thoughts were pulled back by the voice.He took a few steps forward and picked up a finger that had turned into purple-brown corpse wax from the ashes on the ground.

"this is……"

Just when Genos picked up his fingers and muttered to himself, a shadow suddenly flashed by his side.

—Are there any other enemies?

At that moment, Genos clenched the fingers in his hand, and suddenly looked aside.But in the next second, he only felt a light in his right hand.

The joints in the center of the arm flashed crackling lightning, and the fragments of the steel shell fell to the ground with a "click", and several wires fell feebly along the fracture.

Genos was slightly taken aback, then reacted abruptly.

The arm holding Su Nuo's finger was cut off, and more than one person came.

The blond-haired reformer raised his head, and his pupils quickly locked onto the two figures.

The deformed blood painted in blue all over, and the ugly figure standing beside the blood paint, holding half of an arm that was shining with electric sparks.

……

Compared with the battlefield at the entrance of the hotel, the water vapor in the Shengmao hot spring at this moment is silent.

Saitama soaked in the hot spring water, still remembering the fire just now in his mind, with a dull expression on his face.

The brochures sent to guests by the hot spring hotel did not mention anything related to large bonfires or fireworks.And the flame just now, in retrospect, seems a bit like the incineration cannon of Genos who has not returned...

With a "crash", Saitama stood up from the hot spring pool, and tightened the towel around his waist from left to right.

"Let's go and have a look." He said to himself, and stepped out of the hot spring pool.
