My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

"As expected, when it comes to satire, you still have to look to ONE-sensei."

"It vividly exposes the blindness and stupidity of the masses, revealing the dark side of society in this way, and leaving the deepest hope in everyone's heart."

After the update of the Deep Sea King chapter, it immediately sparked a frenzy of enthusiasm among readers.

One-Punch Man is not just a typical shonen manga, but also a satirical manga that profoundly exposes reality.

Perhaps there is no powerful One-Punch Man in the real world, but there will definitely be no shortage of the strong Mumen Rider.

Different heroes have different fighting styles; only those who firmly uphold justice in their hearts are true heroes.

However, after One-Punch Man was updated, another group of people developed a deeper aversion to it.

Chapter 169: Qianyi's Straight Man and Busy Sakuta

"Phew~ It really is peaceful."

Sitting on her balcony at home, Zhi Renqian brewed herself a cup of top-quality Maojian tea and leisurely enjoyed it.

In fact, Naoto is very relaxed right now.

After Nanko advised him to get some rest, Naoto basically had no extra work to do besides completing his regular tasks.

The Maojian tea that Zhi Ren has is all high-end stuff that Boss Liu and Mei Li sent directly from its place of origin in China. It's truly refreshing and delightful to drink.

People in the past didn't understand what was so good about tea. Apart from quenching thirst, it seemed to have no flavor at all, and was not as refreshing as drinks like cola.

But now that I've really calmed down, I realize how delicious the tea is.

Across from Naoto, Nanko was also drinking tea. She was quite curious about this tea, which was different from Japanese matcha, and tried it out.

However, it was clear that Nanzi wasn't particularly fond of tea; she definitely preferred coffee.

"Nanzi, how are you feeling?"

"It tastes completely different from matcha; it's refreshing and a little sweet. But I'm not used to it yet."

"It's normal if you're not used to it yet. I'll make you something delicious in a bit."

Naoto didn't mind that Nanko didn't like these teas. After all, it's difficult for someone who's used to matcha to accept green tea all at once.

Moreover, Nanzi herself doesn't like tea.

"But, Naoto, compared to all that, is your drawing finished? Isn't the submission deadline in a month?"

Although Nanko is happy that Naoto is so relaxed, is it really a good thing for Naoto to be this relaxed?

"Ahem, that's for sure. It's almost there, almost there, just a little bit more."

Upon hearing Nanzi's question, Zhi Ri'en immediately coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

In fact, if Nanko hadn't reminded him, Naoto would have completely forgotten that this even existed.

I've been having such a leisurely time lately that my net worth has increased several times over.

My desire to become very rich came true in his life.

However, Naoto hadn't even enjoyed a few days of being rich when Nanko shattered his illusions again.

"Naoto, didn't you say you were going to teach that Nangong Yun a lesson? If you don't work hard, what are you going to do later?"

"I know, I know, it's just that I'm lacking some inspiration at the end. Sigh, I'll try to finish it in the next few days."

Seeing Nanzi's slightly stern gaze, Naoto immediately cowered.

In this world, besides Nanko, there's probably nothing else that can frighten a straight person.

The theme for this art competition was quite broad: friendship.

Although Naoto has been drawing for a long time, he is still not very satisfied with his work.

A large part of this is because Naoto always felt that his paintings lacked a certain spirit.

During this period, Naoto has created quite a few paintings, many of which are of a much higher quality than his previous works.

However, although the overall drawing skills have improved, Naoto felt that these paintings had lost the previous sense of liveliness.

The lack of this dynamism is why Naoto has never been entirely satisfied with these works.

Because Naoto's previous paintings were all based on his personal experiences, he was able to infuse them with the emotions he had experienced.

However, the topic of friendship encompasses far too many emotions. It's very difficult for a straight person to inject all of them at once.

"Naoto, are you free today? Could you come and help me out? I'm really overwhelmed!"

Just as Naoto was about to start thinking about what to do with the painting, he suddenly received a call from Sakuta, who sounded somewhat urgent.

"What's going on with this person? Why did they suddenly call?"

Although he didn't know what Sakuta was busy with, Naoto got dressed and went out without thinking.

When Naoto arrived at the restaurant where Sakuta worked, he discovered that Hachiman had also come there.

"Huh? Hachiman, Sakuta called you too?"

"Naoto, you too...?"

The two people standing outside the restaurant were completely baffled as to what Sakuta was up to, why he had to call them out even on a holiday.

"What on earth is Sakuta doing?"

Feeling something was off, Naoto pushed open the door of the cafe, only to find the small shop already packed with people, and Sakuta bustling around.

"Hey! Sakuta, what's going on here?"

Seeing Sakuta so busy, Naoto was confused. Why was Sakuta the only one working in the store? Where were the other staff?

"Naoto! Hachiman! Thank goodness you're finally here! Quick, quick, come help me out, I have a delivery to make, thank you!"

Upon seeing that Hachiman and Naoto had finally arrived, Sakuta immediately led them to the staff break room and had them change their clothes.

"Sakuta, what exactly is going on? Explain this to us clearly!"

The two people who had just changed into waiter uniforms were still a little confused. Why had they suddenly become waiters all of a sudden?

"Don't even mention it, I'm so busy. Today, Senior Yamakawa had something come up and couldn't come, and Tomoe couldn't come either because she's sick. Now I'm the only one working in the shop."

The two officials probably understood what Sakuta meant by his explanation.

Basically, the two people who work with Sakuta couldn't come because of other commitments, so Sakuta had to work alone.

The sheer volume of people has overwhelmed Sakuta.

"So, please, both of you, save me quickly! I only have two hours left, I'm really begging you!"

"But even if you beg us like this, do you think the store manager here will agree?"

"It's okay, I've already spoken to the manager and someone will come to help. You'll also get paid according to the normal wage. Okay, I'll leave this to you now. I have to go deliver the food."

Naoto and Hachiman watched as Sakuta hurriedly grabbed the delivery box and ran out without stopping.

"Sakuta, you look like you're having a hard time."

"Haven't even graduated yet, and you're already acting like a corporate slave?"

Looking at Sakuta, the two couldn't help but sigh, Sakuta really is working hard.

Fortunately, the two of them probably won't be working in the future, so it's not a big deal anymore.

Chapter 170: Friends I Haven't Seen in a Long Time

"The steak for table number four! Please hurry!"

"Strawberry milkshake for table number five!"

"Coffee pudding at table number ten!"

"…………"

After a flurry of activity, the three of them worked tirelessly and finally made it through the midday rush hour. As time went by, the number of people outside began to decrease, and the three of them could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Seriously, this is tiring. I didn't expect your coffee shop to be so popular."

Hachiman, who had finally managed to sit down, rubbed his sore shoulders. Just a few hours of work had almost exhausted him. Sakuta was really amazing to be able to work here for so long.

"Originally, there weren't that many people here, but there were rumors that this was a shop that ONE, the legendary teacher, and his girlfriend frequented, so the number of people increased."

"Damn, is there something else about me? I'm really sorry."

"What are you saying, kid? Actually, it's not bad, because with more people, my salary has also increased."

"Since it's so nice, shouldn't we treat everyone today?"

"Trying to treat? Let me make it clear first, I can't afford anything too expensive. How about McDonald's?"

"I thought you were going to talk about an old man."

The three of them laughed in the lounge. Sometimes, male friendships are just that strange. As soon as they hear that someone is treating them, they feel much more energetic.

"Alright, everyone, you've all rested enough. In a little while, we can head back. Let's hang in there for just a little longer."

"But I think at this time, there probably aren't many people coming."

"I can't say for sure."

Just as the three of them were looking at the almost empty area outside, the coffee shop door was suddenly opened.

"Kunimi, is this the famous coffee shop you mentioned?"

"That's right, this is supposedly a coffee shop that the famous ONE teacher often comes to. You might even run into ONE teacher."

"Hey, you didn't come here just to see ONE-sensei, did you?"

"Shh~ How could that be? Since we're already here, we might as well have something to eat before we go back."

At this moment, a group of boys walked in from outside, still wearing basketball uniforms, looking as if they had just returned from the basketball court.

The boy in the lead was accompanied by a girl.

Judging from their eyes, the two of them are probably in a romantic relationship.

"I didn't expect anyone to come at this time."

"They don't look like they're from our school's basketball team, do they? Why are they here?"
