Honestly, Mosquito Girl’s appearance made Lu Yao physically uncomfortable.
Her face and figure were actually rather decent.
But once the mosquito features were added, the only word Lu Yao could think of was disgusting.
Mosquito Girl appeared highly confident in her own strength.
Even with two opponents appearing simultaneously, she still looked completely at ease.
Since Lu Yao had temporarily withdrawn his hostility, Mosquito Girl chose to attack the other combatant first.
“Two or two hundred, it doesn’t matter. I’ll drain every last drop of blood from both of you.”
The results of Lu Yao’s scan identified the other fighter as a cyborg.
The cyborg attacked.
A blazing energy blast erupted from his palm.
Mosquito Girl, being a speed-oriented monster, avoided it and immediately rushed in, tearing off one of the cyborg’s arms.
The cyborg still managed to gain the upper hand, however.
Before Mosquito Girl noticed what was happening, he tore off both of her insect-like legs.
“Sir, every mosquito within a fifty-meter radius is converging on Mosquito Girl.”
Oh?
Looks like she’s planning to strengthen herself using the blood they collected.
People hiding indoors might survive.
But animals outside—and those few fools who ignored the evacuation—were excellent blood bags.
The enormous mosquito swarm gathered around Mosquito Girl until the sky became black.
“You bastard! Stop right there!”
A familiar voice shouted amid the rapid slap of running feet.
“We haven’t settled this yet!”
A bald man came sprinting out.
“Mr. Saitama?”
The newcomer was none other than Lu Yao’s neighbor.
Saitama heard someone call his name and stopped.
Seeing a man completely covered in armor, he looked puzzled.
“Who are you?”
“It’s me.”
Lu Yao opened the helmet.
“Oh! Lu Yao.”
Saitama nodded.
“Mr. Saitama, what are you doing here?”
“Ah, well…”
Saitama suddenly became evasive.
How was he supposed to explain that he had gotten into a serious battle with an ordinary mosquito—
And still hadn’t managed to kill it?
That wasn’t exactly something worth bragging about.
“Hey! You two over there!”
The cyborg shouted toward Lu Yao and Saitama.
“Those mosquitoes are moving consciously! Once they notice you, they’ll attack! Get somewhere safe!”
“Seriously…?”
Saitama looked shocked.
Whether the expression was genuine was questionable.
It somehow felt like he was merely putting on the appropriate reaction.
“Those aren’t normal mosquitoes.”
Lu Yao explained.
“They’re monsters. More accurately, an insect monster is controlling the swarm.”
Saitama froze.
“So basically, they’re monsters?”
“That’s one way to understand it.”
“Would you two stop acting so relaxed—”
Before the cyborg finished, the mosquito swarm gathered overhead suddenly poured toward all three like a waterfall.
Boom!
“You can speak, so I assumed you possessed intelligence comparable to a human.”
The cyborg incinerated the swarm with a wall of flame.
“But in the end, an insect is still an insect. Gathering your entire swarm together and attacking me at once? When I discovered you, I already evacuated everyone within five hundred meters. That means I can now attack without holding back…”
He stopped.
“No! There are still two people here!”
He turned around.
Instead, he heard this conversation.
“Whoa. What is this? That’s amazing.”
“It’s an isolation barrier created by nanomachines I call the Nano Swarm. As for durability… it should survive several vacuum implosion bombs without much trouble.”
“Huh. I don’t really understand that, but it sounds impressive.”
“Mr. Saitama, could you stop making that face like you’re considering punching it? It won’t survive you.”
The two were standing inside a pale-blue spherical barrier.
The cyborg’s attack hadn’t harmed them in the slightest.
The cyborg stared.
For a moment, his brain seemed unable to process what he was seeing.
“Hehehehe…”
Mosquito Girl’s mocking laughter pulled his attention back.
“What an idiot. The reason I gathered all those children together was because I no longer needed them.”
Her appearance transformed.
It was almost like she had swallowed an experience potion.
Not only did her external form change, but her speed increased to a terrifying degree.
The cyborg was no longer her match.
In a flash resembling teleportation, Mosquito Girl appeared behind him.
Her claws, sharp enough to slice steel, cut him cleanly in half at the waist.
“I’m so strong now.”
“She’s fast.”
Standing to one side with Lu Yao, who had already removed his armor, Saitama commented casually.
“Almost sonic speed.”
Lu Yao nodded.
“Impressive.”
As for the cyborg—
Mosquito Girl’s relentless assault left him completely unable to retaliate.
He closed his eyes and opened his mouth, apparently concluding that self-destruction was now his only remaining option.
“Hehehe! Your fist can’t even kill a mosquito!”
Mosquito Girl was clearly convinced victory belonged to her.
“Too slow, too slow! Next, I’m taking your head!”
That should be enough.
Having confirmed the cyborg was absolutely going to lose, Lu Yao prepared to intervene.
But Saitama casually slapped once.
Mosquito Girl didn’t even have time to react.
Smack!
She was instantly turned into mosquito paste.
The force also demolished several surrounding buildings.
Saitama dusted off his hands as though he had done something utterly insignificant.
“Mosquitoes are seriously annoying.”
“Let’s go home.”
Lu Yao and Saitama turned away together.
“Please wait!”
The defeated cyborg loudly called after Saitama.
“I am a cyborg who fights for justice alone. My name is Genos! Please, you must tell me your name!”
So he isn’t a hero.
Genos was asking Saitama, so Lu Yao remained silent.
Saitama clearly had no idea what Genos was getting at.
“Huh? I’m Saitama.”
“Please accept me as your disciple!”
“…Huh?”
Saitama blinked.
He turned toward Lu Yao.
“What exactly is he trying to say?”
“He probably saw your strength and wants you to become his master.”
“Whoa…”
Saitama looked genuinely troubled.
He leaned toward Lu Yao and whispered, “Even if that’s what he wants, I have absolutely no idea how to teach anyone!”
“You’ll have to figure that out yourself. I’ve never been a teacher either, and I don’t have much combat experience.”
“Then I can only refuse him.”
“Probably.”
“But he looks so sincere. Rejecting him outright seems kind of mean.”
“Since when were you this considerate, Mr. Saitama?”
While Lu Yao and Saitama whispered to each other, Genos became anxious.
“Master Saitama! My body is currently damaged. Please tell me your address! Once I recover, I’ll visit you! You can give me your answer then!”
“Okay!”
“Mr. Saitama, why did you agree so quickly?”
“I’ll leave this problem to Future Me.”
Saitama gave Lu Yao a thumbs-up.
Then he grabbed him.
“Let’s go.”
“Wait—”
Genos still wanted to stop them.
Unfortunately, Lu Yao and Saitama disappeared almost instantly.
Genos could only lower his hand awkwardly.
“They didn’t tell me their address… Oh well. I’ll ask the doctor to find it after I return.”
