Saitama is my Disciple in One Punch Man

"Mm-hm."

Kaito Ren nodded. The only difference this time was that the Back-Brawler Gang ran away even faster.

"I didn't realize you were so strong!"

Asaka Hoko, as if discovering a new world, looked at Kaito Ren in surprise. Initially, her interest in him was purely curiosity. Now she realized his true strength.

Strong? Kaito Ren didn't think so. The House of Evolution, ready to appear at any moment, was beyond his current capabilities. So far, he'd only faced Back-Brawler Tiger and Black Hole, who would become C-class and B-class heroes in three years. The real strong ones hadn't even shown up yet. He was far from their level.

"Kaito Ren, we're friends, right?"

After a moment of silence, Asaka Hoko suddenly asked.

"Mm-hm."

Asaka Hoko was the second person he'd met in this world. They'd only met twice, but they were friends.

"Are you avoiding me? Why do you always say so little? It feels so perfunctory."

Asaka Hoko pouted, her eyes filled with resentment, like a wronged wife.

"Uh…"

Kaito Ren was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. He couldn't say he was a hardcore shut-in who got nervous around girls and didn't know how to communicate.

"Hee hee, I was teasing you."

Seeing Kaito Ren's nervousness, Asaka Hoko laughed.

"Kaito Ren, since we're friends, if I'm ever in danger, you'll save me, right? Because you're the only strong friend I have."

Asaka Hoko smiled, showing her cute canine teeth.

"Okay, if you're in danger, I'll save you."

Kaito Ren readily agreed.

"Okay, we have a deal! Hee hee, this is an advance payment!"

Asaka Hoko tiptoed and lightly kissed Kaito Ren's cheek before blushing and quickly leaving.

Kaito Ren touched his cheek, watching Asaka Hoko go, his heart stirred.

[Ding… An agreement was reached with Asaka Hoko. Asaka Hoko's favorability +10, current favorability 85.]

The sudden system notification interrupted the moment. Kaito Ren rolled his eyes. Such an unromantic system.

"Teacher, let's go to the beach!"

Saitama suggested.

"Huh? Why the beach? Want to swim?"

Kaito Ren looked at his disciple questioningly.

"No, I'm hungry. I want to see if I can find more delicious, free seafood like last time."

…

Kaito Ren facepalmed. Saitama's lack of awareness was extreme. He had no common sense.

But he was hungry. It was late, and they probably wouldn't find any monsters. He decided to sell the katana he'd gotten from the Frog monster to buy food.

Under Saitama's guidance, they found a pawn shop. Saitama's familiarity wasn't surprising, considering his past as a jobless drifter.

"Yo, Saitama! What treasures do you have this time?!"

The pawn shop owner was a middle-aged man. He was quite overweight.

"Boss, this is my teacher. I brought him here."

Saitama scratched his head, introducing Kaito Ren.

"Young man, what do you have? I guarantee a fair price!"

The fat owner smiled, like a cunning fox.

Kaito Ren took out the katana.

"What?! This…"

Seeing the katana, the owner's eyes widened in shock. His demeanor changed.

"Young man, may I examine it closely?"

Kaito Ren handed over the katana. The owner examined it carefully, then looked at Kaito Ren and Saitama, a look of regret on his face.

"Young man, this katana is excellent, but it's a fake. It looks similar, but it's a replica, not a genuine Wada masterpiece. A real one would cost at least 100,000! I can only give you 30,000. That's a great price! Ask your disciple; he often sells things here. He knows my honesty! He wouldn't bring you here otherwise!"

Heh!

Kaito Ren remained silent, watching the owner's performance. He'd already used the Detective's Eye. The katana was genuine. The owner had realized this and was trying to cheat them.

"Boss, take a closer look. I met Master Wada, and he gave it to me. Would he give a fake katana?"

Kaito Ren, who had never met Master Wada, was bluffing.

"I see! You're lucky to have met Master Wada."

The owner stiffened. He couldn't haggle further.

With money in hand, it was time to spend it.

"Let's go! Teacher's treating you to something delicious!"

Kaito Ren, feeling confident, took Saitama to a bustling Oden restaurant for a feast.
