The Disaster in One Punch Man's World
Chapter 30: PoV Saitama
City Z
Saitama POV
The sun has started to set. Which shows that the night is near.
I was on my way back to my apartment with my groceries.
The road I was walking on was surrounded by collapsed buildings and damaged vehicles.
This shows that the evil in this world is still not gone. And this hasn't changed since before I became a hero.
In other words, you could say that I have not made any influence in this society.
I'm not necessarily sad about that. But something's been bothering me lately.
As the days went on, my emotions got further away.
Fear, tension, joy, anger... I don't feel it anymore.
In exchange for strength, maybe I lost something important to humans?
Suddenly, I could hear the sound of iron being shaken.
I immediately saw the source of the sound. And saw a monster ruffling a broken car.
"Vroom's? I've been spotted so there's no other choice. ME, SUPER CUSTOM YO649Z Mk.II!" Said the monster.
While he kept talking about himself, I kept pondering, he said,
I used to feel all kinds of emotions swirling inside me when I was fighting.
Scared, panicked, angry...
While he was still raving about himself, I directly hit him.
*BANG!*
But now, all I need is one hit to end it.
I then looked at my grocery bag and saw that the egg I had bought had been cracked.
Suddenly, the voice of a girl was heard from a nearby building.
"Yo, Saitama-Senpai," he said.
I then looked at the source of the sound.
"Ah, you.." I said.
He then waved his hand towards me and walked to my side.
"Ho ho~, looks like you're having trouble with the menu tonight. Should I cook for you?" She asked.
"No need, I'll eat eggs on rice" I replied.
"Heh~ don't be like that, I can cook better food you~" he said tenaciously.
"No need" I said and started walking.
He snorted, then followed me.
"Let's let me cook, please," he said. But I ignored it.
While walking, I looked up,
Strangely enough, I could feel what "fun" meant every time he came to me.
Strange but, real.
I took a small breath and said,
"Well, do as you please,"
"Yey!~ thank you very much," he said.
"Why are you thanking me, not me?" I asked.
“Hehe, cooking for someone is fun you know,” he replied.
"Aah, that's it" I replied.
And thus, we walked back to my apartment together.
.

.
He cooked a delicious meal just by breaking eggs and a few other ingredients.
After we finished eating, he left immediately. I cleaned up all the mess and washed all the dishes.
While washing the dishes, I kept pondering.
Every day I go home unscathed.
When I came out fighting monsters, I never felt as if my heart was really in it.
I mean, I just do the hero thing as a hobby.
In other words, as long as I can do it, that's all I care about.
I immediately went to bed and marked it as the end of the day.

Next day
I woke up as usual. Take a shower, eat my breakfast, and get ready to go out. But when I was about to get out, I heard an earthquake.
*the whole**thunder*
I immediately ran out and saw the figure of a girl I knew very well.
Yes, the identity of the girl is Rena. Self-proclaimed as my fan. And now, he raised the monster without touching the monster.
Wait a minute, HOW DID HE DO IT?!
"Re-rena? what are you doing?" many confused.
"Ah, Saitama-Senpai! As you can see, this monster is acting very suspiciously in front of your apartment. So I'm interrogating him." He answers.
"No, more than that, what did you do to make it fly without touching?!" ask again.
"Without touching?" He said as he slowly looked at his hand which was covered in a black aura.
He then patted his own face and the monster immediately fell down and hit the ground.
"Rena?"

Inside my apartment
"W-What's with that serious face.k-you're scary you know..." Said shaking.
"A-ah, sorry. I'm really curious about the thing you did before as you saw. Should I prepare tea?" I've explained.
"N-no, it's okay .." he said with a thud. And continue,
"Actually..." He stopped his words.
"Actually?"
"STOP WITH YOUR SERIOUS FACE!" He screamed while hitting me with a pillow.
"OK okay, sorry,"
"Oh my goodness..."
He rearranged his chair and cleared his throat once more.
In a serious tone, he explained.
Since his birth, he has had psychic powers.
And because of that, he was always worried about himself.
Am I valuable enough to hold this power?
Do I deserve this power?
Every day, that's all he thinks about. Until that day...
He saw me defeat a crab monster without even using supernatural powers.
Then he was amazed at what I was doing.
And from that day on, he decided, that he would also defeat monsters using his power.
Like my...
And that's why he became my fan.
“So that psychic power really exists..” I said while stroking my chin.
While I was saying that, Rena was just sitting there looking at me dumbfounded.
"Is there something wrong with my face?" I asked.
"W-YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE psychic POWER EXISTS?!" He yelled.
"Um, huh?" I answered.
"HUH!? then what about the Class S Hero, Tornado of Terror?!" She asked.
"Emm, who?" I retaliated.
"Hell Snow Storm Hero Class B?!" He asked again.
"Who is he" I replied.
"H-, HER?!, HER?!" He yelled.
He turned his face and then sighed.
"No, that's .. that's okay," He stopped his speech.
"Kai, man,"
Just like that, we return to our normal daily lives.

In Random Fields Near City Z
A humanoid cyborg was seen standing while looking at the rotten cow.
He then looked at the city and started walking in that direction.
