Nodding, Midoriya kept this in mind. He would definitely find a way to help Dr. Kuseno investigate the situation of "Metal Knight". If this guy really continued to carry out illegal modifications and malicious experiments, Midoriya Izuku would not stand idly by.
Soon it was time for the evening hot pot dinner. Genos had already prepared all the meat and vegetables, and the aroma of hot pot dishes filled Dr. Kusno's research institute.
"It's quite nice to visit other people's homes occasionally."
Saitama, who put a piece of beef into his mouth, rarely visits other people's homes for meals. After all, before meeting Genos, Saitama lived a solitary life without friends.
"You 'cyborg,' I didn't expect your skills to be so good!"
I was happily eating the squid rolls, and I never expected that having a meal with other people would be so much fun.
"I've been wanting to treat everyone for a while now. I caused a lot of trouble for the professor and Mr. Saitama recently."
Having arrived in this world, Izuku Midoriya relies on the Doctor for lodging and on his friends (Saitama) for shelter. Therefore, he feels apologetic and wants to find an opportunity to express his gratitude.
"And what about me!"
The Hell Messenger beside him cried out indignantly. Incidentally, because he had offended Little Tornado, his entire body was now buried underground, with only his jet-black bald head sticking out.
"I'd be grateful if you just left me with less trouble!"
Without mincing words, Midoriya criticized the Grim Reaper, saying that in the end, he was dragged into this world by this guy, but judging from the current outcome, it was a pretty good cross-world experience.
"What can I do? I'm desperate too! Saitama is just too strong. If I don't ask you, Master, for help, I'm afraid I'll never be able to defeat him."
"Anyway, you can challenge Saitama next, but try not to cause too much trouble for everyone."
When Midoriya said this in front of Saitama, it meant that he agreed that the Grim Reaper could continue his daily challenge to Saitama, as long as he didn't cause a disaster like the Plague Reaper, which destroyed half of J City.
"Oh? This guy with the bald head named Saitama is really strong?!"
Because of Midoriya and the Grim Reaper's words, Tornado, who was eating a squid roll, stopped what she was doing and stared curiously at Saitama's reflective head.
Perhaps the same kind of language as "Hell Messenger" is inappropriate, because Little Tornado's words immediately made Saitama, who was eating beef, jump up in anger.
"You little brat... Didn't the adults teach you to be polite?!"
"Ha! Who are you calling a little brat?"
Little Tornado immediately became unhappy, her body radiating green light as her superpowers activated. Just as she was about to teach this bald-headed guy a lesson, Izuku Midoriya quickly stopped her:
"Hold your fire, you two heroes! This hot pot table can't withstand your antics!"
Chapter 33 Earth! It's doomed!!
Thanks to Midoriya's timely intervention, Saitama and Tornado didn't start fighting on the spot. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't just have been a hot pot table; Dr. Kusno's research institute might have been destroyed as well.
Saitama, who thought Midoriya's words made a lot of sense, said that he was an excellent adult and wouldn't argue with a little kid. The most important thing now was to eat something and fill his stomach.
It was originally a dispute that she herself had inadvertently caused, and Little Tornado had calmed down a bit after Midoriya's words. However, while this older little girl was eating hot pot, she seemed to mistake the egg that Genos had bought for some kind of braised egg and took a vicious bite and bit off half of it.
Nothing else went wrong, and everyone happily finished their hot pot meal and prepared to go home. Midoriya, as the host, specially had "Hyperspace Cube" open the door to see the guests off.
"Hmph! You're not bad at all. If you run into any trouble in the future, just come to me."
As the little tornado was about to step into the Time Rift portal to go home, she said this to Izuku Midoriya before leaving. It seemed that this "Tornado of Terror" had a great time today.
"Thank you for your hospitality. Please come to my house for dinner sometime."
Saitama, who was also preparing to leave and go home, valued the principle of reciprocity. Midoriya nodded in response.
"Yes, I'll definitely come when I have time."
Saitama waved goodbye and then went home with Genos by stepping into the portal of the Time Rift.
After witnessing the departure of that wretched little dwarf, the Hell Messenger forcefully burrowed its body out of the ground. After being thoroughly tormented by the little tornado for a while, the creature simply hid in the ground and pretended to be unable to move, lest that wicked little dwarf use it in different ways again.
"You should really refrain from saying things that are courting death in the future."
Midoriya warned the Grim Reaper, but whether the guy would listen to him was another matter. Anyway, the guy was unkillable no matter how much he courted death, so he might as well let him do what he wanted.
The next few days were just simple daily routines. Izuku Midoriya was developing and manufacturing equipment at Dr. Kuseno's laboratory, while the Grim Reaper went with Saitama to carry out hero activities. Regardless of what Saitama and the Grim Reaper did together in the end, the Hero Association and the citizens attributed the credit to Dr. Hell.
It was another sunny day, and Midoriya was doing the final adjustments to "Mechanical Knight" when Dr. Kuseno's research institute suddenly received a message about the Hero Association's takeover.
"Midori-kun, it seems something big has happened at the Hero Association? They said all S-class heroes need to assemble urgently."
"Understood, I'll go right away!"
Sensing that something was amiss, Midoriya nodded in response to Dr. Kusno. After making some preliminary preparations, he directly instructed the "Hyperspace Cube" to open a portal to City A.
Therefore, life has become much more convenient since the "Hyperspace Cube" was invented. Last time, it took Midoriya three hours to come to City A with the Grim Reaper, but now it only took 3 seconds to arrive at the headquarters of the "Hero Association".
"You came pretty fast."
As soon as Izuku Midoriya entered the headquarters of the Hero Association, he saw a small tornado floating in mid-air waving at him, and Izuku Midoriya nodded in response.
"We used the 'Hyperspace Cube' to open the portal, so there was no wasted time."
"Hmph! I have to admit that your creation is quite capable."
Having experienced the "Hyperspace Cube" before, she ended up making a spacetime rift portal at home, so she's quite familiar with the function of that black and white cube.
"Didn't that guy with the jet-black bald head come with you?"
"The Hellbringer is still out there carrying out its heroic activities. I heard it was something very important, so I rushed over immediately."
After giving a brief explanation to Tornado, Midoriya then inquired about the second-ranked S-class hero in front of him.
"Do you know what the emergency notification is for? It's so I can take precautions if it's serious."
"Tch, I don't know! Those guys said they'd hold a meeting once all the S-class heroes had arrived."
After listening to Tornado's words, Midoriya calmed down a bit. He figured it wasn't an urgent crisis, so he decided to wait until all the S-class heroes arrived before figuring out what was going on.
As the S-class heroes gradually arrived, Midoriya unexpectedly saw that the Grim Reaper had come with Saitama and Genos, along with the third-ranked S-class hero, "Silver Fang" Bang.
"Oh, Mr. Saitama, you've come too."
"I happened to be visiting Bang with Genos when I received a call from the Hero Association, so I came along."
"That's great! With Saitama-san here, any crisis can be resolved immediately."
Izuku Midoriya's sincere trust in Saitama's strength made Tatsumaki, who was listening nearby, extremely uncomfortable. What kind of nonsense is this?!
"What are you doing at the Hero Association headquarters, you mere C-rank hero? Get out of here!!"
"Huh? It's that arrogant kid!"
Saitama, who is always quick to anger when meeting his enemies, didn't really have any deep-seated hatred for the kid who had called him "Egghead" in a bad way last time.
"Bastard! I'm going to kill you!!"
Once again, her sore spot was hit, and she angrily activated her superpowers, determined to turn that wretched bald-headed man into a real bald-headed man today.
"Stop it! Do you have any of the composure and magnanimity expected of an S-class hero?!"
Old Man Bang, who couldn't stand it any longer, spoke up to stop it. This third-ranked S-class hero's words clearly carried some weight. At least Little Tornado just snorted and turned to leave. She wasn't going to lower herself to his level.
"Honestly, how come all the S-class heroes are such a headache?"
Bang-gu shook his head. Although many of the S-class heroes, like Tornado, have personality issues, they are the only ones who can help overcome difficulties when a crisis arises.
"Saitama, wasn't I right? That vicious little dwarf is utterly ignorant of his own limitations!"
"This is the first time I've realized you're right, but as an adult, I'll reluctantly forgive her."
The Grim Reaper and Saitama echoed each other's words, thankfully Little Tornado had already left and gone far away and didn't hear it, otherwise there would probably have been another bloody storm.
"Stop gossiping behind my back and come with me into the meeting room right now."
Now was no time for idle chatter. Midoriya summoned the still-talkative Grim Reaper and entered the conference room at the Hero Association headquarters. It was unclear what had brought all the S-class heroes together.
"Jenos, let's go in too."
Then, the world's strongest hero also prepared to go and listen to the terrible disaster that was about to happen.
Chapter 34 Enemies from Space
"Is everyone here?"
Standing at one end of the long conference table, the senior members of the Hero Association looked at the S-class heroes on both sides. Although it was inappropriate for a C-class hero to be mixed in, now was not the time to care about such a trivial matter.
"There are so many strange people here..."
Although he already knew who the S-class heroes were, Midoriya still found the differences between these vastly different S-class heroes and the top-ranked professional heroes from his original world to be quite striking... In fact, the one at the bottom of the S-class list was a prisoner, "Sexy Prisoner."
However, at this moment, Midoriya first focused his attention on a man, King, who was called "the strongest man on earth" by the Hero Association. It is said that even Tatsumaki was no match for him.
Looking at this man with three scars on his left eye, Midoriya could feel a sense of oppression. He truly lived up to his title of "the strongest man on earth," his aura alone was enough to inspire awe.
"I wonder, between Mr. King and Mr. Saitama, who is truly more powerful...?"
Midoriya, who had quietly pondered this question, decided to explore it further when he had the chance.
"You must be the newly joined S-class hero of the Hero Association, 'Dr. Hell'?"
A child sitting next to Midoriya greeted him. This child was no ordinary person; he was Child Emperor, the fifth-ranked S-class hero, a genius boy who was only 10 years old.
"Ah hello."
"This is wonderful. It's great to have someone around my age become an S-class hero."
Midoriya responded with a friendly greeting, and Child Emperor also said it happily.
"Doesn't 'Tornado of Terror' look about your age?"
"I was referring to 'age.' Little Tornado is much older than both of us!"
Just as Child Emperor said this, he and Izuku Midoriya simultaneously felt a terrifying killing intent directed at them. Turning their heads slightly, they saw Tornado with a terrifying expression on her face.
Child Emperor immediately stuffed the whole lollipop into his mouth. At this point, it was best not to say anything more... Life was at stake!
However, they didn't talk much about idle chatter and the high-ranking members of the Hero Association went straight to the main topic of this gathering of all S-class heroes.
"We don't know where 'Metal Knight' and 'Blast' are, and we can't contact them. Waiting any longer will only drag on, so I'll be blunt from now on!"
"I have invited all of you who stand at the pinnacle of heroism to this place, not for any other reason than to ask you to protect the Earth!"
The words immediately startled everyone present. Was something serious about to happen? Realizing that the S-class heroes present hadn't understood, the high-ranking official continued to explain:
"The great prophet Shibabawa... she has passed away!"
"Who?"
Unaware of the truth, Saitama continued drinking the tea he had just ordered, while Genos quickly explained to his teacher:
"She was a very famous prophet who accurately predicted the timing of earthquakes or attacks by strange beings on many occasions."
This news clearly carried some weight, and the eighth-ranked S-class hero, "Zombieman," immediately inquired about it.
"Was Lady Shibabawa murdered?"
"No, it seems she had a heart attack after seeing some terrible future. She was panting and coughing non-stop. Then she choked on a throat lozenge, which is why she passed away."
Midoriya was speechless. This way of dying was just too...unpleasant. But now was not the time to talk about that. Obviously, the Hero Association must have something important to say to them by gathering them together.
"In short, Lady Shibabawa left behind the contents of her language. Even when she was choked by a throat lozenge, she still used her last strength to write this little note."
"And judging from past experiences, Lord Shibabawa's prophecy will 100% come true!"
After the note was placed on the electronic table, everyone present could clearly see what was written on it.
"Earth! It's doomed!!"
"This is!!?"
Izuku Midoriya was astonished. According to the information he had recently investigated, the prophet Shibabawa had indeed predicted the impending disasters multiple times. What kind of disaster could have prompted her to leave such a note at the end?
"So, you've gathered us here to deal with the impending disaster?"
Scratching his head, Saitama asked a question, while the Grim Reaper beside him continued, picking up where he left off:
"But no specific intelligence information was left, and it is unclear what kind of disaster it is or when it will strike."
"The weirdo from 'Dr. Hell's' family is right, but who knows what kind of nonsense this unreliable prophecy might be!"
Metal Bat, who has a rather bad temper, skipped his beloved sister's piano recital today in order to attend the Hero Association's emergency assembly, so it's no wonder he's in a bad mood.
"Okay, I understand the details. Let's try it my way."
When Midoriya Izuku suddenly said this, everyone present immediately focused their attention on him.
"Dr. Hell, do you have a way to uncover the true nature of this prophetic crisis?!"
