A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

Special Affairs Section.

The phone on the desk rang. Xingzi skillfully twisted her waist and used the momentum to smoothly move the office chair's casters to the desk where the phone was, and answered the call.

"Hello, this is the Special Affairs Section."

The voice of the officer on duty came through the receiver: "This is the reception area. Someone is looking for Officer Johnson, the head of the Special Affairs Section."

"Why is someone looking for me again?"

Xingzi frowned, muttered something under her breath, and thinking of the ominous woman who had arrived just yesterday, her womanly sixth sense kicked in.

Chapter 40 Gu Gu Gu Gu

Like a seasoned farmer noticing that the cabbages in the field are about to be trampled, Xingzi casually asked, "Who came to see our section chief this time?"

The officer on duty glanced cautiously at Fubuki, who was waiting for a reply: "Yes... she is a very beautiful young lady."

Sure enough, another roasted fox!

"Our section chief isn't here!"

"Huh?" Qiao Sen, who had just entered the office, paused. "Xingzi, is someone looking for me? What do you mean I'm not here?"

"Hmph, just a nuisance call."

Seeing his deputy section chief's sour face, Johnson shrugged: "Oh, okay."

beep...

The call was abruptly ended, leaving the officer on duty somewhat bewildered: "Um..."

“I heard it,” Fubuki said, fiddling with her hair with interest. “Are you really avoiding me? Heroes always have their own personalities.”

"It's okay, I'll just wait here for him to get off work."

Click.

The dazed police officer on duty felt as if something had shattered in his heart.

Special Affairs Section.

"Section Chief, your official appointment letter has been faxed over."

"Really? Headquarters is really quick."

Qiao Sen took the stamped official document from Xingzi and glanced at it from top to bottom.

After careful consideration, the following decision has been made:

Z City Patrolman Qiao Sen (Police Officer No. PCZ9527) has been promoted to Assistant Special Affairs Division Inspector and appointed as the Chief of the Z City Special Affairs Division, with a one-year probationary period.

The term of office begins immediately.

—Metropolitan Police Department of City A.

Johnson put down the appointment document and handed it to Kyoko for filing: "Alright, now it's your turn."

Apricot took it with a sour taste in her mouth: "We're not like you, jumping three levels! Oh dear..."

Johnson stood up, pressed his finger against the policewoman's forehead, and pushed her away: "This is nothing, don't make a fuss."

Back in the training camp, the bigwigs were willing to promote him to the top management of headquarters within a year, but he refused. That kind of promotion speed is what you call meteoric rise.

After finishing up the backlog of work from class, Xingzi only went to the restroom briefly, and Johnson took the opportunity to slip away.

When there's work to be done, the deputy does it; when there's nothing to do, the deputy does it...

To prevent his subordinates from rebelling, Johnson didn't use the main entrance. Instead, he used his telekinesis to launch himself into the air in the corridor and get off work at lightning speed.

into the night.

Fubuki sat in the lobby reception room, idly flipping through the police magazine beside her.

The end of the workday had already passed. Apart from those who were working overtime, on duty, or still had cases to finish, most of the other officers had already left by evening.

goo...

Fubuki let out a small protest from her lower abdomen, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and a faint blue vein bulged on her forehead.

I was so hungry while waiting.

That despicable man! He's still at get off work trying to avoid me! That's outrageous!

"Miss Fubuki, I ordered the Dragon and Phoenix Noodle Set Meal. Would you like some?"

The police officer on duty, who volunteered to work overtime and incidentally chased away his replacement, came over carrying a steaming bowl of soup noodles. The aroma of the ingredients wafted into her nostrils, and Fubuki felt dizzy and even hungrier.

"...No need, just ask again for me, where is Officer Johnson? Hasn't he left work yet?"

"Ah, you're still waiting for him?" The officer on duty smiled darkly to himself. "I just ran into a colleague from the Special Affairs Unit. I heard that Officer Johnson went off duty at noon."

At noon...

get off work!

A terrifying aura erupted, and the officer on duty, who had just finished reporting Qiao Sen's misdeeds, shivered. The takeout he was holding suddenly began to float uncontrollably, and his police hat, the paper and pens in the reception room, and the tables and chairs were also enveloped in a soft blue light, floating up as well.

In the end, even the officers on duty felt a force binding their limbs and necks, causing them to defy gravity and float into the air.

"Blow, blow... Miss Fubuki! Stop it... I can't breathe anymore..."

call--

As Fubuki regained her senses after her rampage, she exhaled a breath of frustration, the green light in her eyes faded, and the floating objects in the reception room lost their psychic support, crashing to the ground with a clatter.

"I'm sorry, officer, for causing you trouble." Fubuki turned and walked out of the reception room. "Now, I need to settle accounts with a certain irresponsible man."

"W-what...irresponsible?"

To start something and then abandon it?!

The police officer on duty had an overturned dragon and phoenix noodle bowl on his head, his vision went black, and he completely passed out.

……

"Ah - sneeze!"

While dealing with a soap monster attack on the women's bathroom, Johnson suddenly sneezed with his eyes closed. The monster, whose body had been partially severed but which was still lively, suddenly brightened up and shouted, "Perfect opportunity! Take this! 'Bubble Beam'!"

Two strings of soap bubbles burst from the strange man's hands and shot forward.

Johnson took out a tissue and wiped his nose. With a snap of his fingers, a rusty road roller appeared out of thin air and slammed down on the grotesque, grinning monster with immense force.

"Uh……"

The arrogant laughter abruptly stopped, followed by a loud bang, and the ground, cracked by the road roller, splattered with clumps of liquid soap.

"Shut up! Bubble Beam? Do you think you're a Water-type Pokémon?! What kind of Pokémon is this lewd and useless?!"

Johnson blew his nose and threw the tissue into the trash can with a grumble.

Then, before he could even recall the road roller, which had finally made its appearance, back into a card form, he was greeted by a group of enthusiastic female fans wrapped in bathrobes and towels.

"Mr. Super Cop, thank you for saving me!!"

"Qiao Senjun, this weirdo is terrifying. Thank goodness you're here... You bastard, get out of Qiao Senjun's arms!"

"Why? I was here first!"

"Super Cop, I love you!"

……

"Please don't push, everyone. We can get autographs one at a time..."

"Miss, could you please put your clothes on?"

"Auntie... Sister, please restrain yourself."

"..."

The scene was once very chaotic.

It wasn't until the reporters arrived that Qiao Sen managed to shake off the frenzied fans during an interview.

"Phew, I feel like this is going to be even more difficult than dealing with a Demon-level monster."

A white monster card appeared in Johnson's hand: the wolf-level monster "Perverted Soap," whose ability is to make the surrounding environment slippery.

Just how weak is this level of weirdo?

If those female fans had maintained their enthusiasm for idol worship and swarmed at it, they probably could have torn it to pieces.

No matter how much it mutates, it's still just a bar of soap.

I casually dismantled this useless card as enhancement material, and then my Stand sent me a message.

[The monster's base stats are too poor; this enhancement attempt has failed.]

Johnson: "..."

Watching his deck shrink by one, Johnson had a strange feeling that he'd been robbed of his cards for free.

He doesn't need this little boost anymore. Even though it's unpaid work, it at least increases his exposure as a hero, plus the eye-catching treat from some enthusiastic female fans...

It's burning, it's burning too much!
