Chapter 8
*First person pov*
Okay... The last thing I remember is that I protected the whole city and now I'm in the hospital? Why the hell am I here? I look around the room, but it's all just white. I heard the door open and close, and I turned my head to see who it was. "Ah, you're awake!" The woman said, she was a nurse. She runs over to me, grabbing my hand. "Um... can I have your autograph? My daughter is your biggest fan." The nurse spoke fast. This is to much to deal with, as it hurts my head trying to decipher what she said.
"Um... sure. Only if you answer my questions." I said, and she nodded vigorously. She holds out a picture of me and a marker... I don't even know where she got it from but I grabbed the marker from her. "What's her name?" I asked her. "Akari." She said, and I nodded. To Akari, my precious fan. Stay awesome. -Takahiro Ren. I gave the photo back to her, and she put it in her pocket. "Thank you so much!" The nurse said, pressing her hands together. "Now, what became of Z-City?" I asked her. "Z-City was saved thanks to you! But, there are some minor damages in many places because some rocks got past your barrier before you even put it up. Because of you, my family was saved! Thank you so much!" Nurse bows, and I shake my hands. "I-It wasn't all me! It was all the hero I sidekick for." I said, and she frowns.
"That fake? He rode Genos-kun and Metal Knight's successes. He doesn't deserve the rank he has right now. I feel sorry for you. Plus, he did try and destroy the city." Nurse said, and it took all my will power not to strangle the fucking neck of this bitch.
"What rank?" I asked her. "Rank 5, C-Class." Nurse said, and my jaw drops. "Whoa, seriously?" I asked her, and she nods. "Yes, but I have to cut this conversation short. I have a job to do, you know." She winks at me. "Now, I need to tell you about your injuries. You took some damage internally, but you should be fine. You'll be out of here by tomorrow actually, since your awesome healing power is healing you right up!" Nurse said, and I nodded.
"I see. Thank ya." I said, trying to get her out of my room because she insulted Saitama. "No problem!" She said, but I called out to her because I still have one more question. "How long was I out?" I asked her. She smiled. "You were out for 3 days." She said, then closing the door to me gawking. Only a few minutes later, the door opened to reveal Saitama. "Wow, I didn't think a egg like you would come and visit me." I said, and Saitama sat down, moving his cape out of the way. "You're finally awake sleeping beauty." Saitama said, and I rolled my eyes. He looked bothered by something... weird. It didn't look like he was bothered because he had the same face he always had, but I'mma just following my intuition.
"Yo, did something happen?" I asked him, and Saitama just shook his head. "It doesn't matter. I'm glad you're awake." Saitama said, and I averted my eyes. "What's up with you, saying stuff like that. It's weird, don't." I said to Saitama, and he shrugged. "When are you getting out?" Saitama asked me. "Hopefully tomorrow." I answered, and Saitama pulled out a manga. "That's good." Saitama said halfheartedly, his eyes fixated on the book. We just sat in silence. "Did you just come here to read manga?" "Want to read?"
Time skip several days~
I finally got out of that horrid hospital... they kept me longer than they promised. They said they just wanted to make sure I was okay to be dispatched, ahahahaha... bullshit. I was doing jumping jacks in front of them and they had the GALL to say that 'we need to make sure' while I was doing it. Anyways, I was in Saitama's apartment... To be honest, I got fucking attached to this eggy. I was lying on Saitama's futon. It was very uncomfortable, no wonder Saitama so sour.
"Sensei, you were ranked up second in C-Class. Just a bit more and you can get promoted to Class B." Genos said, doing the dishes. I swear, he really is a Robot maid, he does all the house work in Saitama's apartment. Saitama looks up from his manga. "Class B, huh... no more weekly Hero work quota to meet then, right?" Saitama asked Genos, and I sat up. "What's up with all these deadlines and shit? As a Sidekick, I don't get that." I said, hands in my lap. "You're a Sidekick, you don't need to know." Saitama said, and I frowned. Genos finished washing the dishes and started drying them off with his heater like thing on his hand. "When you're ranked first in C-Class, you can become B-Class hero if you want... or you can choose to stay rank 1 in C-Class if you prefer that. The current highest ranking C-Class hero decided not to get promoted and has been protecting his rank for more than half a year already. But it's nothing compared to the highest ranking B-Class hero, really. Because that one is-"
*Ring ring!* A phone started ringing... Genos'. "Sorry, it's a call." Genos said grabbing the phone off the counter and holding it up against his ear as he walked out of the room. The door was open, so you could eavesdrop on his conversation.... But eavesdropping don't swing well with me. But, I guess it swings well with Eggy. "What a busy bee." Saitama comments, and I shook my head. "It's bad to eavesdrop, Saitama." I said, and Genos pokes his head through the door.
"...About the monster that you defeated on your way home the other day... you said it called itself 'Seafolk', right?" Genos said, and I looked over at Saitama. "Eh?! Where the fuck was I when this happened!? I have a job to do too, ya know! If I don't join you in the ass kicking, my fucking job is down the drain!" I said, glaring at Saitama. Saitama leaned back in thought, ignoring me. "Did I? I don't remember." Saitama said, and I sighed. Leave it to him to not remember shit. "Several monsters that are similar in appearance to that Seafolk have appeared in J-City and wreaking havoc as we speak. A-Class hero that happened to be around tried to stop them and is now fighting a desperate battle." Genos said, and I grabbed the remote to Saitama's TV and turned it onto the news.
"Desperate battle.... means that they're strong, right?" Saitama asked as I finally switched it to the news channel. "The group of mysterious monsters that appeared in J-City call themselves Seafolk... And have been indiscriminately attacking anyone within reach. At present, one hero is offering resistance and trying to hold them back. But as it seems, he's reached the limit of his endurance. He clearly looks tired, even from this safe distance. The disaster level is Tiger! Citizens of J-City, please try and stay away..." The reporter said, and my eyes soften at the A-Class hero.
I think I barely remember that douche... his name was Stingray, or something. Saitama puts on his serious face... those rare moments where he goes hard boiled egg. Those rare moments he looks hot for once.
WAIT WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING!? HE'S NOT HOT!!! I HOPE HE PICKS HIS NOSE SO FAR UP THAT HE PULLS HIS DAMN BRAIN OUT!! OR MAYBE.... My face hardened as I looked at Saitama. His face went soft boiled again. OR MAYBE HE ALREADY DID AND THAT'S WHAT MADE HIM STUPID!!
I shook those thoughts away. I need to get focused on the matter at hand. "Saitama... let's hurry and get there. If we hurry, we might actually save him with my healing powers." I said to Saitama, and he nodded. "...Let's head out. Looks like we don't have a choice but to run there at full speed."
