Fox Demon: God rewards hard work, I will eventually master martial arts and become a god

"what happened?"

Sonic patted the Unlicensed Knight's shoulder.

The unlicensed knight suddenly woke up from his thoughts.

"If that's the case, let's stop here."

The unlicensed knight stood up.

After leaving the hospital, the unlicensed knight put his hands in his pockets, feeling restless inside.

After returning to his residence, the unlicensed knight sat on the sofa, not knowing what to do.

Saitama was standing behind him. He had to be responsible for his actions, so he would not stay too far away from the unlicensed knight.

He accepted the fact that he was being watched, but the Unlicensed Knight seemed to be the one who didn't really care.

"Are you ok?"

Saitama asked softly.

"I'm fine, of course I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me."

The unlicensed knight turned around.

"Go find King and play games with him. We always loved doing this kind of thing."

The unlicensed knight stood up again.

"He should be in the hospital now. If I remember correctly, he may still be in a coma."

Saitama couldn't help but remind the unlicensed knight.

"Then go visit him."

The unlicensed knight was startled at first, then spoke softly.

He went out to the hospital again, and Saitama could only follow him.

The unlicensed rider was lucky, for when he arrived at the hospital, King was out of danger and could barely open his mouth to speak from time to time.

But his whole body was wrapped in bandages, and every nurse who saw him couldn't help but smile.

"Let's play games."

But when the unlicensed knight came in, he plugged the game console into the TV.

"What happened?"

Even if King was a thick-skinned man, he would not be unaware of what happened to the unlicensed knight.

No matter how you look at it, there seems to be something very wrong with him.

"Nothing happened, just recover and play the game like we always do."

The unlicensed knight spoke to himself.

He didn't even plan on introducing Saitama.

"I'm not stupid. You didn't come here to visit me. You didn't even look at me when you walked in."

King said softly.

"Why, do you really want me to look at you?"

The Unlicensed Knight asked back.

"Then it's better to say goodbye."

King said quickly.

He didn't want too many people to see his embarrassing current situation.

Saitama thought that the unlicensed knight had a pleasant day in King's ward.

For a long time, he would talk to King, and King had no way of operating the handle. All operations were still performed by the unlicensed knight alone.

But King will teach the unlicensed knight how to play.

When encountering some difficult levels, the Unlicensed Knight couldn't get through them no matter what, so King taught him again and again, but the Unlicensed Knight was really not a good student.

He would often perform some operations that would make King almost jump out of his bed.

There was constant laughter in the ward and the nurse came to remind us several times.

Saitama originally thought that the Unlicensed Knight would be better after this.

But when he came out of the hospital, the expression on the unlicensed knight's face had not improved, and he lowered his eyes.

He put his hands in his pockets, and the moment he came out of the hospital, he became his previous cold self again.

In the daily life after this, the unlicensed knight's life gradually became regular, and he would go to the hospital to play with King.

When I come back, I cook and take a shower, then turn off the lights and go to sleep.

The letter of appointment from the association to his rank was placed on the table, but it had remained there from beginning to end, no one had touched it, and it was even covered with too much dust.

The unlicensed knight never even looked at it, or rather, he always avoided this thing on the table.

But in the same way, the unlicensed knight appears to be fixed, almost in a straight line, and he even forces himself to adapt to his previous life.

For example, go to the store and grab those discounted items.

But now, no matter how low the discount is or how many things he grabs, there will be no expression on his face.

Correspondingly, he smiled less and less, and his daily sleep time continued to decrease.

He didn't set an alarm, but he always woke up quickly.

Unstable work and rest schedule and disrupted life.

When King was discharged from the hospital, the unlicensed knight looked even more like a patient than King.

Longjuan came to visit several times. He expressed his deep concern and strongly requested to move in.

She also offered very tempting conditions, such as letting the unlicensed knight move in with her, and she even put the keys directly on the table.

But each time the Unlicensed Knight simply sent Tornado away.

Use any possible means, including agreeing verbally and then turning around and locking Tornado out.

This is the life of an unlicensed knight. Saitama is just a person who made a mistake and is being monitored. He has no reason to interfere with the behavior of an unlicensed knight.

While the Unlicensed Knight was doing this, Saitama was watching.

As if invisibly, the unlicensed knight became the one who made a mistake and was under surveillance.

Saitama shouldn't have freedom, but the unlicensed knight didn't care about him and never cared where he went. He wouldn't even ask if Saitama really went out.

Saitama could clearly feel that the unlicensed knight was beginning to become abnormal.

Saitama suddenly woke up from his dream. It was late at night. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt his heart beating very fast.

Since this period of time, he was ostensibly under the surveillance of the unlicensed knight, but most of the time, he felt more like a bodyguard.

He would watch the unlicensed knight's daily routine, watching him toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep, and then open the door to relax.

Pacing back and forth in the living room.

Yes, he was watching while the Unlicensed Knight was doing this, because he himself couldn't sleep either.

The last look the hungry wolf gave before he died was at him.

Saitama couldn't tell what was hidden in that look.

It could be resentment, or it could be more of unwillingness.

Saitama slapped his face, trying to calm himself down and wake up, since his current situation and job were more like a bodyguard.

Then you should fulfill your responsibilities no matter what.

He opened the door of the room, poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he sat in front of the sofa, without saying a word, with his eyes downcast, looking at the floor, and occasionally picking at the threads on the sofa.

But at some point, he looked up suddenly because he saw something wrong.

The lights in the Unlicensed Knight's room went out, if there was nothing wrong with Saitama's memory.

So the unlicensed knight almost never turns off the lights when sleeping during this period of time.

But now the lights in his room were turned off. Could this mean something had happened, or was the unlicensed knight in danger?

Saitama knocked on the door regularly, knocking twice and then stopping, but there was no response from inside.

If the unlicensed knight suffers from insomnia, then his sleep should be considered sensitive. Saitama knocked twice, but still no response.

Saitama thought that it shouldn't be a safety issue. After all, no matter how he thought about it, with the strength of an unlicensed knight, there were probably few people in the world who could kill him.

But what if an accident really happens?

What if the only guy who has the ability to kill him comes looking for him again, the biggest demon from outside the realm?

Saitama thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind.

He slammed open the door of the unlicensed knight's room.

As expected, no unlicensed knights were seen among them.

Saitama rushed out, trying to find traces of the unlicensed knight's whereabouts.

I asked people I might have met along the way. The city was extremely quiet late at night.

There are no clues, not even when the unlicensed knight left.

Saitama looked around, he went to the hospital, Sonic had been discharged, King did not see the unlicensed knight.

Saitama wants to find Tornado, but he doesn't have Tornado's contact information.

But I think the probability of an unlicensed knight going to find Tornado is also very low.

Finding someone is not an easy task, especially when there are no clues.

Saitama searched for a day and a night, and reported the disappearance of the unlicensed knight to the association. The association attached great importance to this person who might become an S-class hero.

Although they have been waiting for a reply from the Unlicensed Knight, so far they have only received a notice of the Unlicensed Knight's disappearance.

However, the association is still willing to help.

Unwilling to give up the opportunity to court the unlicensed knight, they even mobilized a large amount of manpower and resources for this purpose.

But twenty-four hours passed and there was still no news.

It was as if I had never seen him at all, or rather, it was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

This sounds very pointed, but Saitama doesn't think so.

If the demon from outside the domain came to look for the unlicensed knight, this effect could be achieved.

But if the unlicensed knight himself wanted to stay out of sight, he could do that too.

Saitama knew very well that if the demon from outside the domain wanted to take action, he would have many chances.

There's no reason it has to be now.

Saitama's eyes fell on the map. If there was any place that he hadn't checked, it would most likely be there.

Saitama is a man of action. Once he has an idea, he takes action quickly.

He used the vehicle to get to the farthest location, and then walked forward on foot.

He was moving very fast. This was the suburbs, with wasteland and weeds everywhere, and the trees even completely blocked his view.

But Saitama didn't care because he knew where this was.

After passing through the woods, a ruined city gradually appeared at the end of the sight.

Those were the ruins of the city, what remained after the incident with the spaceship.

This is also the place where Saitama and Garou hid before. No one will come here, and the large amount of radiation will have a long-term impact on the entire area.

Saitama walked slowly forward. There were no lights in the dilapidated city, but without the obstruction of tall buildings, the view was wide and the stars in the sky seemed to be within reach.

Saitama really found the unlicensed knight here. He was sitting on a hillside and was still visible.

The unlicensed knight heard the footsteps, and with his strength, he must have been able to sense someone approaching.

But he didn't look back, still looking forward in the same posture.

Saitama found a place to stand. Without any shelter, the wind was very strong, so strong that it felt like a huge wave blowing across his face.

This is not a good environment. In the summer, the sun shines directly and the heat waves hit your face.

It is bitterly cold in winter and you will shiver even when wearing protective clothing.

Saitama said nothing, just stood aside.

"Have you ever thought about running away? Then you could be free again."

In the end, it was the Unlicensed Knight who spoke first.

"I never thought that I am a human being and not a monster like the outer demon."

"I will have to pay the price for my actions."

"To be honest, if all I have to endure is looking for someone for 24 hours without rest, then it's actually a bit easy."

Saitama said softly.

The wind was so loud that Saitama didn't know if the unlicensed knight heard it.

"But I want to run."

The Unlicensed Knight said.

"I know."

Saitama certainly knew what the unlicensed knight had done.

The unlicensed knight would regularly visit his friends, chat and play games with them, and try to return to his normal life.

He tried to save himself again and again, but to no avail.

The unlicensed knight did not give up, even though it was very tiring and hard.

Saitama knew it very well, and had always known it.

“I tried to do something, but it didn’t make sense.”

The Unlicensed Knight said.

"I know."

Saitama nodded.

"Don't just say this like a repeater. Come and fight me. Fight me without mercy."

The unlicensed knight stood up suddenly.

He looked Saitama straight in the eyes.

Saitama was surprised at first, then hesitated, and finally compromised.

He adjusted his collar and stood in front of the unlicensed knight.

The two men charged toward each other.

Saitama has almost recovered his strength at this time, but he doesn't know what he can do.

After all, it was his first time to launch an attack in human form.

No one knew how much time had passed, but all we remembered was that the final result didn't seem very pleasant.

Because both of them were lying on the ground with wounds all over their bodies, and the blood on their bodies had long been dried by the wind.

The unlicensed knight's breathing gradually became even in the silence, and both of them had no strength left.

But they still care about each other more or less.

Saitama didn't know whether this would alleviate the situation of the unlicensed knight or whether he would have to do it a few more times.

No matter how many times, Saitama can do it.

But if it doesn't work, then it would be bad.

Saitama tried to call out to the Unlicensed Knight, but there was no response, and the Unlicensed Knight had no intention of answering.

Only after the unlicensed knight had laid down long enough did he slowly stand up.

He dusted himself off and returned with Saitama.

They came very quickly, but looked very embarrassed when they went back because they were exhausted and even needed to support each other.

When they were near the city, someone spotted them.

The association sent a vehicle so they didn't have to walk any further.

Some people also sent flowers, as if the unlicensed knight was not going crazy alone, but had won a battle against a monster. (End of this chapter)
