I, Rick, the strongest human

Although the carp was not found, he felt that he was not far from his goal.

I also know the address of the Headquarters of the Heroes Association, so if I go there, I can find that person!

"Ah, when you're in a good mood, you really feel a lot lighter."

It seems that even the body is lighter, and even the bag in my hand seems lighter...

bag? !

Saitama looked at the vegetable bag in his hand in a panic——

Inside, there was nothing but a carrot.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhth

And because I don't know where it fell, it's impossible to find it.

"...Let's talk about the Heroes' Association tomorrow."

Saitama made a decision immediately.

"The supermarket sale should not be over yet, hurry up and buy!"

He thought so, but didn't realize——

In the sky, Rick, who was supposed to leave long ago, was holding the arm of a young girl, Lolita, quietly looking down.

"It's because of interest...Become a hero just because of my own interest...Just because of myself?"

As if he understood something, Rick nodded to himself.

"Well, after such a long delay, it's past lunchtime—"

"However, we still need to solve some physical problems! People will be hungry if they don't eat!"

With that said, Rick asked Zhenhong to release the magic of staying in the air.

"Hey——I meant to switch to flying magic!"

"What! Obviously Rick himself didn't make it clear..."

"There is no need to explain this kind of thing, at least let me slowly descend from the sky! And compared to running slowly, flying over should be faster!"

"For Rick, there should be no difference! (o?v?)ノ"

"What do you mean there is no difference! Although there is no real feeling, there will be an illusion of 'very painful' before falling!"

"What kind of illusion is this..."

"Let's just say it's a human illusion... After all, I'm also a human right now?"

"Yeah, Rick is a human, the strongest human!"

"No matter how you look at it, the tone is so perfunctory... Or do you all believe that I am a human being? I am obviously a real human being!"

Fighting all the way, before the sun was about to set, the three of them finally found a decent restaurant.

…Berry method, because of the attack of giant carp, the most famous food street in city B was destroyed, and the crowd who ran away at that time did not know who told the news that the giant carp would attack the restaurant, which led to despair. Most restaurants are temporarily closed...

Although there are also rumors that the giant carp has been wiped out, no one wants to risk such a huge risk to continue the business for the benefit of this small group.

Being able to find such a solid restaurant, Rick said that he was exhausted.

Chapter 69 Expected Possibilities

"Don't eat it! The food here is really unpalatable!"

Compared with the delicacy of the first restaurant, this small restaurant that is only randomly selected on the side of the road is really nothing.

"Well, I think it's not bad, at least it's much better than what we ate there, and Zhenhong, if you complain so loudly, everyone around you will hear it?"

Feeling the pointing eyes around him, Rick said with a smile.

"Qi—that's because you haven't eaten at that restaurant, Rick!"

"...Although this seems to be the case, the feeling that you all ate it all together and I still didn't eat a bite...is a bit inexplicably subtle."

"Besides, it's not about glowing cooking, how much difference can it make! It's not about the poor environment where even the ingredients of the food are different and there are no condiments..."

"Hmm! Next time Rick will eat there too! It's really delicious! It's as if the whole person is in another world..."

Zhenhong is still obsessed with the delicious food in the No. [-] restaurant, but at this time, Rick's thoughts are flying far away.

Over there, other races are fine, but the ingredients of the food are different from here, and there are no condiments. The main reason here is to add some condiments, and then change the taste.

It may still be delicious when you first taste it, but it will be like that after a long time.

But if it is a human being, then there is one more thing to add.

The most meat eaten by humans is not animals, but themselves...

Although it sounds cruel, it is unbelievable, right?

But the animals in that world are so extinct that even Rick can hardly catch a few of them. Only some animals with strong reproductive ability and strong ability to perceive danger can survive.Animals such as dinosaurs and elephants seemed to exist in the past, but they only existed in history.

Those who followed Rick were lucky, except for those who were brought home by a scammer and killed 9% of the group, basically nothing went wrong after that.

At least cannibalism did not happen among the crowd led by Rick, and including those who were sacrificed by Rick for the sake of human beings, they were all troublemakers or outsiders from other villages.

It is also because of these reasons that even though Rick gave up the position of leader to Crom, his prestige is higher than that of the other party. Things like dealing with troublemakers are often left to Rick to solve ...

Shaking his head, he no longer recalled his experience in that world.

To be able to have such a powerful force, to prevent the people you want to protect from repeating tragedies, this is already enough luck.

The current self...just want to continue to protect those who want to protect, and——

"The Wind of Decadence... the existence of a single digit in Hakoniwa... is it the meaning of my existence now to get rid of that guy?"

Rick clenched his fists tightly.

This power is your own.

Not fake, not castles in the sky.

Not given by anyone, but taken by oneself—

It is your own power, no one can give it, and no one can take it away.

It is entirely in its own power.

I have doubted it before, but because this power is too powerful, too incredible, and the opponent's unpredictable means like a "god", people can't help but suspect that this is the power bestowed by the "god" .

But now he understood.

It is definitely not a unilateral gift from the other party. At most, the other party has only opened up a possibility that belongs to him.

In other words... the contract he thought he had, probably didn't exist either.

"However, this contract is still valid."

"It's just that it's not because you give me strength, but I give you the meaning of my existence."

"Both sides need each other, and what they have created for each other—"

"possibility……"

As if confirming something, Rick repeated again.

"That's right, this is a possibility that you and I have jointly developed—"

"It's not a one-sided give, but each takes what it needs."

"The Wind of Decadence...should be your goal, right? But only I can solve the Wind of Decadence. Is it because I have that possibility that you choose me?"

"And this power was not given to me by you. We are just an ordinary transaction. You opened up this possibility for me, and I am responsible for solving the decadent wind for you."

"Did I come into this world...to make me understand this?"

Although there are still many doubts, Rick can only make such guesses today.

He knew almost nothing about that person, and the only knowledge he had was the help he had given him a few times.

But the other party... seems to know everything about him, as if...

Like an acquaintance I once knew...

"Ricrick! You didn't hear all that was said just now, did you?"

Before that doubt could be answered, Rick was brought back to reality by the girl's voice.

"Well...just now...ahem!"

He really didn't know how to answer, so he had to cough twice, hoping to use this to fool him.

"What! He was talking to Rick so seriously, but Rick was in a daze!"

The blonde girl puffed her face in dissatisfaction, pressed her body on top of him, and said angrily.

"stare--"

"Too, too close..."

Sensing some kind of strange eyes from Shubi beside him, and the perverted eyes of the people around him, Rick said awkwardly.

"Are they brothers and sisters? They look so close..."

"Do you think one with blonde hair and the other with silver hair are brothers and sisters? It's obvious that a bad boy is abducting Lolita! This kind of gent... pervert is really enviable... despised!"

"I think blond hair and silver hair go well together..."

"That purple-haired one over there is my younger sister, right?"

"Who knows what relationship this kid has with them? Maybe both of them are lolis who were abducted by this bad boy... Why don't this pervert die!"

"Hey! Is it the police? Yes, there are..."

In the end, even the sound of the alarm reached Rick's ears. He really couldn't stand the noisy environment, so he simply passed the wallet of the person who said he was a pervert.

"Waiter, I want to pay!"

"Okay, sir, your meal this time...a total of 780 yuan."

"Well, here is 5000 yuan, no need to look for it!"

After groping around, he found that there was exactly 5000 yuan in the wallet. Rick simply took out all the money in it, slapped it on the table and said.

It's not his own money anyway, thinking so, ignoring the surprised look in the waiter's eyes, Rick pulled Shubi and Zhenhong and left quickly.

……

"It's not enough... You haven't understood yet... The possibility I was looking forward to—"

Initially made a "wrong" choice, thus resetting the time of all universes and inducing the other party to go on the "correct" path.However, she still didn't see the possibility from the other party that she had expected at the beginning.

The red-haired girl in another world stared at the ripples in front of her eyes and spoke softly.

"The current him, maybe even you can stop him?"

Then, the girl got up from the throne above the void, and asked the loli in kimono beside her.

"..."

The kimono loli with snow-white hair lowered her head slightly and stood aside respectfully, without saying a word.

"Well, don't worry, I'm in this restricted world now, and you're not the 'demon king' who represents the 'final trial of mankind', okay?"

The red-haired girl smiled softly.

"Besides, with that man's character, even if you are still the existence of the final trial of human beings, you will not be killed!"

"..."

The kimono loli lowered her head even deeper.

As one of the few beings who are close to each other in Little Garden, she is the person who knows each other best in Little Garden.

No matter what it is, it will be in its hands, and it will never tolerate any existence beyond its own control.

However, "that man" is the only exception.

...If it is for that man, even if Hakoniwa is destroyed, in the eyes of the other party, it is probably a trivial matter, right?

Naturally, including myself, if you are an enemy of that man, even if it is an order from the other party, it is probably...

It's a dead end.
