After hesitating for a while, Jibril gave up on catching the opponent and studying it carefully, and asking for possible information about Saitama. After all, her power was at its lowest and it was not suitable for her to leave the city anymore.

Anyway, I have memorized the breath, and it will be the same if I look for it later.

And that Saitama, she will definitely cut off his head from now on as her best collection!

The other party must be his biggest opponent in this life, and he cannot let other Flügel steal it.

As for Saitama, who was still being slapped on the head by the angry Hubi, what he didn't know was that he was inexplicably noticed by an entire race.

And this longing for him will last for thousands of years, even if the Flügel never find him again.

But these are all things for later.

...

"Azriel, thank you."

An inaudible sound suddenly sounded, so soft that even the Flügel's keen hearing could barely catch it.

But Azrael, who was right next to Jibril, still heard it.

Even she was surprised by this, after all, this was the first time the other party thanked her.

"...It's okay, meow, I'm your sister."

A pair of flawless white wings flapped slightly happily.

Chapter 12: The man who was lost and found

"Host."

The sound of the system suddenly appeared, and I felt a little scared for no reason.

"What's wrong?"

Gafan pulled the reins and rode the horse-like creature unfamiliarly on the endless wasteland. He replied in his heart and pulled off his newly acquired hood.

I don’t know why this guy called him suddenly after he had been silent as if he was dead before, but it should be nothing serious.

"We just almost died."

"...?"

"And twice in a row."

"???"

Damn it, what are you talking about all of a sudden? !

He was so shocked by this unexpected breaking news that he almost fell down. Gafan quickly clamped his legs and stabilized his body, while the unnamed creature under the seat shook his head in dissatisfaction. He snorted, but because of his docile character, he still didn't get rid of this annoying guy on his back.

"what happened?"

"There were Orcs and Flügels passing by nearby at the same time just now. They seemed to have spotted us, but they didn't know why they ignored us. If they had ignored us... I still had time to write a suicide note, but you might not be sure. ”

"...Fuck, what now?"

"Leave, the crisis is temporarily over."

After hearing this reply with inner anxiety, Gafan breathed out a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Can't you detect others in the system now? Why can't you give us a warning in advance?"

The system, which had collapsed into a puddle in the host's mind, immediately turned back in displeasure.

"To be honest, my new equipment is [Person Search], which is used to find people, not the God-view [Mini Map] in the game. Besides, with their movement speed and reconnaissance range, I found them There is no need to remind you anymore.”

"..."

Gafan silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not knowing whether he was lucky or bad.

But the reason for being let go must be related to the boss who beat them up before.

"Hey, what's wrong, Gafan, are you feeling unwell?"

Croni, who was riding another beast that looked like a Compsognathus, noticed Gafan's strange behavior and asked with concern.

"It's okay, eldest sister, let's continue on our way."

Suppressing the slight panic in his heart, Gafan smiled and shook his head to express that there was no need to worry, and asked: "By the way, eldest sister, how long will it take for us to reach Rick's hideout at this rate?"

"Well, um, we should be here around tonight. In order to make it easier for me to visit him, Rick chose a place that is quite close to the gathering place. However, the place he chose is quite hidden, your friend. Is it really there?"

"It's not really a friend, but I'm sure he is indeed there. But I'm really sorry, eldest sister, and I have to ask you to help lead the way." Gafan touched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Croni also shook her head indifferently.

"It's okay. Anyway, the situation in the gathering place has been quite stable recently, and I really want to see Rick more. That guy really makes me uneasy."

As she said that, Croni patted her chest and acted like a reliable big sister.

Although she is much shorter than Gafan.

Gafan held these words in his mouth because of his high emotional intelligence, but he still had another question.

"...Sister, don't you really ask me why I have to go to Rick's place?"

He had not elaborated on this reason before. After all, the idea of ​​getting lost from another world and then wanting to go back again was not very credible. Gafan himself did not know what to say, and was even struggling with the other party's question. When the time comes, how should I produce reliable evidence?

But in fact it was not the case. Croni only stood on tiptoes and touched his head and said with a smile.

No problem, just leave it to me.

"Of course not, because Gafan looks very entangled and embarrassed, and..." Croni turned her head with a smile, winked a little playfully, and said lively, "I am very good at judging people. That’s right, Ga Fan is a good boy.”

"...Thank you very much, eldest sister."

Gafan scratched his cheek and thanked him sincerely, somewhat embarrassed.

Although his mental age is already twenty-three, he is older than the other party, and he has passed Children's Day long ago.

But whatever the eldest sister says, that’s what it is.

"You're welcome, and I should be the one to say thank you." Croni smiled softly, "Although I was too stupid to understand the roll of drawings you gave us, Nonna took the initiative to follow I said it was an incredibly good thing, and it didn’t require elf power or anything. I didn’t understand the specifics, but..."

There were flashes of memories in Croni's clear blue eyes.

"That was the first time since Ivan's death that the child took the initiative to emphasize something to me. Nonna has been very smart since she was a child. Rick also said that she has talents beyond ordinary people in many aspects. Many I can understand everything at once, but I won’t take the initiative to learn anything with a sense of crisis under Yiwang’s protection. So, since she said that now, that roll of blueprints must be very important.”

"Am I right, Gafan?" Croni smiled.

And Gafan just smiled helplessly.

He didn't think too much, he just wanted to give something to the other party. After all, there is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life.

Compared with this matter, that roll of "boiling water" drawings is really just a small thing.

But speaking of that child Nonna.

Gafan tilted his head and recalled.

At that time, when I showed Croni the scroll [General Schematic of the Principle and Structure of a Steam Engine] as if it was a treasure, she really had a confused expression on her face, her eyes were so panicked that they were in circles, and she was at a loss what to do. Although the deputy felt very powerful, he looked completely incomprehensible.

Gafan still remembers Nonna's purple eyes that seemed to be shining brightly and the look of anticipation on her little face.

"...Do you want to see it?"

"Want to see."

"Do you understand?"

"I can understand a little bit."

"Then...fuck you, you are a genius!"

As a result, the picture scroll was transferred back to Croni, and along with it, there were all the snacks left in Gafan's pocket.

Even he didn't expect this result. He thought he would have to wait for Croni to go to Rick with the blueprints and ask Hubie, an Ex-Machina, to help with research.

But it's better this way, after all...

Some things still have to be done by humans themselves to make sense.

But I will probably never see him again, and I don’t know if the child will live happily in the future.

Ga Fan thought with some worry.

Even if they didn't get along for long, not even a day together.

But when he was about to leave the gathering place, Nonna, who noticed something, took the initiative to speak to him for the first time.

"Um...will you come back?"

Looking at Gafan's surprised and unspeakable expression, Nonna, who was holding a lot of snacks given by Gafan in her arms, also knew the answer. She didn't say anything and just asked another question.

"Then will you live a good life in the future?"

Gafan, who no longer knew how to answer, just nodded lightly, but it was enough for Nonna, as if he had received a guarantee, the same as the guarantee that Yiwang had given her before going out.

Then, she smiled and said to Gafan for the first time.

"Thank you for the snacks, I like them very much."

"......Is it tasty?"

"tasty!"

"Ah That's good."

Gafan smiled and touched Nonna's head.

And this was their last conversation.

In the vast expanse of wilderness, two humans rode beasts on a dusty journey. They still had to travel for a day. After waiting until tomorrow...

Probably only one person went back.

...

at the same time.

Halfway up a certain mountain peak, in a huge space that was carved out.

A one-armed man with bandages all over his body was kneeling on the ground, holding the girl tightly in his arms, daring not to let go, as if he would never see her again.

The locked-like control over my inner emotions that I had in the past was gone at this moment.

Rick held Hubie in his arms, crying like a child, but the expression on his face was so relieved.

And Hubi was also hugging each other tightly, the most important person in his life, with a tear-stained face, smiling and murmuring in a low voice.

"Rick, Hubie is back."

"Well...welcome back, Hubie."

The crying voice was full of joy at this time.

Chapter Thirteen: People who are bad at cooking are not self-conscious

Saitama once again felt a stronger emotion since three years ago.

Awkward.

Looking at the two people hugging each other tightly in front of him, Saitama looked around, feeling that he was not suitable anywhere now. Finally, he stared at the ceiling in a daze and scratched his cheek.

How embarrassing.

He now feels like his bald head is like a shining light bulb

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

After a while, the heartbreaking and reassuring crying gradually stopped, and Rick finally controlled his emotions again. Although his eyes were still red, the smile on his face was Not fake.

Only then did he notice Saitama, who was looking up at the sky in a daze.

This man's name, Hubie, had just been told to him, and he also learned that Hubie's salvation was all thanks to this man who was also a human being. Although this is incredible, but...

"Thank you, Saitama, I sincerely thank you for saving my wife and me." Rick said with a wry smile but seriously, "Otherwise, I would have been as desperate as a useless person right now. Bar."

When he woke up before, he found that Hubie holding his hand was missing, and at the same time he saw the ripples of energy on the horizon that shook the world.

He couldn't even describe how panicked and desperate he felt inside.

Even if he hypnotized himself over and over again that everything would be fine, he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.
