After laying a clean mat on the floor and playing games like Gabriel for a while, Rikka glanced at the time and realized it was already evening.

"They really didn't get to know me well. They know I live right next door, but they don't even bother to come and see me."

Yawning, Rikka prepared to lie down and go to sleep.

Just as she was about to turn off the light, a knock on the door startled her.

"Are you there?"

"Yes, please wait a moment."

Rikka responded and quickly stepped forward to pull the door open.

"??"

Genos was stunned for a moment when he saw that a cute middle school student had opened the door.

Honestly, the sailor uniform with black over-the-knee socks, plus the bandage covering one eye, did seem out of place to him.

After all, not long ago I only saw handsome guys.

"You are……"

"I am Su Lin, just a different person," Su Lin said truthfully.

"I see, I couldn't tell at all, she's very beautiful. This isn't just a simple ability, it's like she's really turned into a girl."

"Yes, I am indeed a woman now."

Genos: "..."

After a moment of silence, he pointed to the Saitama family next door and said, "Would you mind having dinner with us? The teacher said he bought a lot of groceries today."

"Great, I brought some food with me too."

Rikka readily agreed.

She used her powers to conjure up some rare and delicious foods that were hard to find in the One-Punch Man world, and then carried them over in a bag.

"Ah, is he here?" Hearing the door open, the bald, caped man, while ladling soup, turned to look at the doorway. His mouth dropped open at the sight he saw. "Who...is this?"

"Teacher, this is Su Lin."

"Ah, really?"

Saitama stammered, thinking to himself, "I've never invited a girl to my house before."

As a single person, even knowing what happened to Su Lin, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

He coughed and said, "I have some steak here, let's eat together."

"Okay, I brought some delicious food too."

After putting the things down, I glanced at the food on the table.

Hmm, no seaweed soup. Looks like that poor guy hasn't fallen into Saitama's hands yet.

Su Lin began to consider whether to act before Saitama and snatch the kelp, raising it while eating it. After all, a thinking monster like kelp would definitely taste different.

When everyone gathered together, Rikka Takanashi's art style was a little eerie.

Genos took a few bites, but eventually focused his attention on her.

"Is there something on my face?" Rikka was taken aback.

"No, I'm thinking that by using this method, you might be able to fool quite a few people."

"You're right, but I'm very strong, I don't need to resort to tricks." Rikka chuckled. "I just think it looks better this way, don't you think it's pretty?"

“I see. You certainly don’t look like a handsome guy.” Genos nodded in agreement.

"..."

Do you have to be so honest?

To be honest, the physical body in the three-dimensional world can't compare to that in the two-dimensional world. Strictly speaking, Su Lin himself is quite good-looking, but that's relative to the three-dimensional world.

In comparison, anime girls are definitely better. The different styles of the heroines from different worlds are dazzling.

"By the way, there's a guy in the Hero Association named Tornado."

“Oh, indeed.” Genos nodded upon hearing the name Rikka. “I saw it in the data. She’s ranked second among S-class heroes. To reach that position, she must be a very powerful individual.”

"Probably around the peak of the Dragon level, or slightly weaker," Rikka said.

"What are you talking about? What Dragon-level?" Saitama asked, wiping his mouth as he pulled himself out of the pile of food and looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

"Tiger, Demon, Dragon, and God are the Hero Association's standards for determining the level of disaster," Genos explained. "Tiger: an uncertain number of people will be in mortal danger; Demon: the entire city's abilities will cease or it will be destroyed; Dragon: multiple cities will be destroyed; God: all of humanity will be wiped out."

"Is that so? I had no idea. Reaching the Dragon level must be incredibly powerful, right?" Saitama was starting to take an interest in this world.

After all, he's too strong; he can land a single punch on anything. It's really exciting to think about finding a suitable opponent.

But... no matter what, what kind of disaster is this that destroys cities so easily?

From this perspective, most A-level heroes are only capable of single-handedly defeating a tiger-level hero.

That's really difficult.

"Gurgle gurgle~~"

While they were talking, Rikka Takanashi had already taken out her things and placed them on the table.

She stuffed the food into her mouth and gave the two of them a victory sign: "Enjoy this delicious treat and celebrate our meeting."

"It really feels quite unusual."

Saitama found that he quite liked this feeling.

Having gotten used to living alone, I now have Genos, this apprentice whose fate is uncertain. And today, a seemingly adorable middle school student has appeared – Rikka Takanashi.

If you disregard the girl's inner soul, she is indeed a very lovable person.

Very seductive.

"I finally joined the Hero Association. Starting tomorrow, I can finally enjoy reading comics again."

As he said this, Saitama took a bite of the hot pot dish, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"There's nothing weird or strange added, so why does it taste so good?"

"without……"

It's probably been added.

Some things that even Rikka herself doesn't know about.

But she won't tell.

"Teacher, C-level heroes must complete one activity per week, otherwise they will be like errand runners, eliminated because of no performance."

"what?"

"Don't worry about it. These things are bound to happen eventually, otherwise the other heroes would have been fired long ago." Rikka's tone was not anxious at all.

---Dividing line---

P.S.: The manuscript I saved for the new book exploded the night before last, all the cloud records are gone, emmm...

Chapter 401 I've been stuck on this for days!

Even though Rikka said that, Saitama was still incredibly nervous.

How can I just quit the Hero Association that I finally managed to join?

He turned his head and glanced at Rikka.

This guy is also A-rank, so I'm the weakest one now.

Saitama was frustrated; his physical fitness test scores weren't bad, but his written test...

"Why is there a written test for the hero assessment? Can someone become a hero if they don't have the ability and get a perfect score on the written test?"

"A total score of 70 is required to pass. That means even if you get a perfect score on the written test, you still need to score 20 points on the physical test to have any hope of becoming the lowest-ranked C-level hero."

After finishing her speech, Rikka began to savor the delicious food on her own.

Just as she was halfway through her meal, a sudden loud noise came from outside the door.

"What's going on? I'll go out and see."

Genos stood up and turned to walk to the outside.

Boom~~

Genos was suddenly blasted back by a burst of light, and Rikka raised her hand and shouted, "Evil King Control!"

Only after being intervened by a mysterious force did this guy land smoothly.

"What's wrong, Genos? Ah, my home!"

The door to Saitama's house was blown up.

He rushed outside to see which bastard had blown up his house.

Then, in the distance, two unfamiliar figures came into view.

One of them was a black, upright creature covered in... seaweed?

So what is this thing?

I don't recognize the other one; he's probably some extra I've never seen before.

No, not even extras, since there weren't any in the whole film.

Sure enough, the guy was killed in the next instant.

"This is boring, it's too weak."

The seaweed monster made a childlike voice, accompanied by a bored and strange laugh.

"As expected, no one could possibly live here. Let me explore for a few more days. Uh... are there any people here?"

Haidai suddenly noticed the lights in the house, and the people sitting inside stared at her.

then……

As expected, the attack was launched.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Genos was about to fight back and kill his opponent in one blow, Rikka suddenly shouted and transformed into Yukino.

swoosh~

With a leap, her body broke through the air, grabbed the incoming belt, and pulled it back forcefully.

"I haven't tasted this creature yet. If it's delicious, it would be better to raise it in captivity and produce it every day."

"Do you like to eat seaweed?" Saitama asked.

"No, I'm afraid you'll cut her up in one go."

Seaweed Monster: "..."

silence.

Not only was his attack caught, but the other side was even seriously discussing whether he (or she) was delicious or not. What kind of world is this?

"Let me taste it first."

Having hastily canceled Rikka's summoning, she now summons her again and tries to shout in a melodramatic way, "Seaweed, seaweed, why don't you cook yourself? It'll be ready soon!"

Then, to the kelp's astonishment, the very kelp she had just attacked was actually cooked.

"The Force, holy crap, this is the Force!" Saitama exclaimed.

"Of course." Rikka made a peace sign and confidently snapped a picture in front of her eyes.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Saitama thought this guy was really cute, cute enough to change one's sexual orientation.

However, he's rather oblivious; even the most beautiful woman wouldn't be able to form any romantic feelings for him. Bald...he's a perfect match!

"Ah woo~"

With one bite, part of the seaweed strip was bitten off.

"Holy crap, it comes with its own seasoning? Not bad."
