"Here's your egg!"
Back in the dorm, Kaito Ren, having finished showering and preparing for bed, heard a knock at the door. Opening it, he saw Hellish Blizzard standing there, holding Little Black.
"Little Black?!"
Overjoyed at the egg's return, Kaito Ren took it, almost wanting to kiss it.
"We're even now."
Hellish Blizzard, noticing Kaito Ren was only in shorts, blushed and quickly left.
[Ding… Received +5 favorability from Hellish Blizzard. Current favorability: 5]
Kaito Ren's face twitched at the system notification. Did Hellish Blizzard hate him that much? His initial favorability rating was 0? No wonder they clashed. Where did this +5 favorability come from?
He settled Little Black down and went to bed, completely unaware that a tiny crack had appeared on the hard eggshell, slowly widening.
The next day…
Feeling refreshed, Kaito Ren woke up naturally, stretched, and glanced at the corner where he'd left Little Black.
WHAT THE HELL?!
The egg was gone!
He searched frantically but found nothing. Saitama! He was the most likely culprit.
"Teacher, you awake? I brought breakfast!"
Saitama entered the living room, carrying various steaming breakfast items.
Enraged, Kaito Ren stormed out, tackling Saitama and beating him up.
Three minutes later…
Kaito Ren, having vented his anger, glared at Saitama.
"Where's my egg?!"
"Egg? What egg?"
The battered Saitama, confused, mumbled incoherently.
"Don't play dumb! You sold my egg to buy breakfast!"
Kaito Ren pointed at the various breakfast items. They had no money; how could they afford this?
"Teacher, let me explain…"
Saitama started to speak.
"You're going to say you found the money this morning?"
Kaito Ren interrupted, glaring.
"No, the money…"
Saitama shook his head.
"Oh, Saitama-kun, you're back! Thanks for the breakfast. Kaito Ren, you're awake! I asked Saitama-kun to buy everything since I didn't know your preferences. See if you like anything!"
Asaka Hanako, in a black lace bodysuit, entered, her eyes sparkling at the sight of Kaito Ren.
?!
Kaito Ren's face twitched. He turned to Saitama.
"The money… she gave it to you?"
"Yes!"
Saitama nodded eagerly.
"Why didn't you say so?! I thought you'd stolen my egg again!"
Kaito Ren snapped.
Saitama: …He hadn't gotten a chance to explain!
"Egg? Kaito Ren, didn't that girl's sister take your egg? How was it stolen again? Do you have two eggs?"
Asaka Hanako tilted her head, her eyes wide with confusion and curiosity.
Ahem…
Kaito Ren almost choked. There's a difference between eggs!
"That egg is the one Hellish Blizzard got back from Tatsumaki."
Kaito Ren explained.
"Oh, I see."
Asaka Hanako nodded vaguely, understanding only that Hellish Blizzard had returned the egg. She pouted, unhappy. That annoying guy was everywhere!
It wasn't Saitama or Asaka Hanako, and Hellish Blizzard had just returned it. Where was the egg?! It couldn't have vanished!
Kaito Ren frowned, baffled.
"Hey, Teacher, on your head!"
Saitama suddenly pointed at Kaito Ren's head.
"Huh? What's wrong with my head?"
Kaito Ren was confused.
"A… a snake!"
Asaka Hanako, upon closer inspection, paled and recoiled.
Kaito Ren was startled. He reached out to grab it, then hesitated. If it was venomous…
He decided to let Saitama handle it.
"Teacher, wait! That's… not a snake!"
Saitama observed carefully.
"Not a snake?! What is it?"
Kaito Ren was anxious, unable to see what was on his head.
"It looks like a snake, but it has two small bumps on its head."
Saitama described his observation.
Bumps?!
Kaito Ren twitched. Even with bumps, it was still a snake! Two heads, three heads, nine heads it wouldn't be surprising in this world. This was One Punch Man; anything was possible.
Kaito Ren carefully removed the creature from his head. From afar, it looked like a snake, but up close, it resembled a plump caterpillar without fur, only scales.
So… it was a snake. A very fat snake.
"Kaito Ren, throw it away! It's dangerous! What if it's poisonous?!"
Asaka Hanako urged anxiously.
"Relax, it's fine."
Kaito Ren shook his head, unsure why, but he felt no threat from the snake, only a strange sense of familiarity. It was like…
Looking at the sleeping, plump black snake, Kaito Ren suddenly remembered something. It resembled the dark, round eggshell. Could this be…?
