Chapter 184: A Troublesome Opponent for Yecheng and Saitama
Chapter 184: A Troublesome Opponent for Yecheng and Saitama
"Saitama Sensei, are you planning to buy something? But at such a critical moment, do you still have time for this?"
As Genos witnessed Saitama putting him down, unable to move, and heading towards the supermarket, he was about to say something.
But halfway through his sentence, he realized that Yecheng, who should have been on the battlefield fighting an unknown powerful enemy, was also in the supermarket.
"Genos, you stay here for now. We'll take you with us once we're done."
Unfortunately, because of the battle, you're in this state. Otherwise, I and Yecheng would have at least one more helper.
Those aunties are all experienced veterans. Every time there's a supermarket sale, Yecheng and I just blink, and they've already emptied the shelves.
Hearing Saitama's words, Genos was speechless. He never dreamed that the so-called "battlefield" was a chain supermarket, the "mysterious powerhouse" was bargain-hunting middle-aged aunties, and the so-called "Saturday" was actually the time for supermarket sales...
"No, since both teachers are taking this supermarket sale day so seriously, it must mean that this day isn't as simple as I imagined! Or perhaps, there's some training I can't see through... Yes, it must be like that!"
In less than two minutes, Genos' imagination transformed the ordinary supermarket sale into a willpower training session for Yecheng and Saitama.
He felt deeply regretful and remorseful for not being able to participate and for being a burden to his teachers when they needed help the most.
As a disciple of the two teachers, Genos, now a housewife, felt he was truly irresponsible.
Just as he was wallowing in self-pity, the supermarket's sale event finally ended, and many aunties and housewives emerged carrying large and small bags.
Two or three younger housewives, upon exiting the supermarket, saw Genos, with his broken limbs, leaning against the supermarket entrance and were visibly startled.
"So young, and so handsome, yet disabled. It's truly pitiful.
Unfortunately, I have a husband and children at home, so I can only help you this much."
As the younger housewife took out a bag of vegetables and bread from her shopping bag and placed it in front of Genos, he was dumbfounded.
He must have been mistaken for a street beggar...
Genos should have been angry at being mistaken for a beggar, but he believed that even if it was a misunderstanding, he shouldn't lose his temper at those expressing kindness.
Moreover, due to the battle with the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, he was not only missing limbs but also covered in dirt, looking very much like a beggar.
"Actually, I'm not..."
"This child is probably not even 20 yet. So handsome, yet he's become like this. It's truly lamentable."
Indeed, Genos' appearance was quite striking, even though he was "disabled" due to the previous battle.
Many housewives, upon seeing Genos, were probably attracted by the shared "housewife" attribute or perhaps Genos' striking appearance.
In any case, they gave him various fruits, vegetables, and ingredients, and soon a pile formed in front of him.
"Damn it, if it weren't for meeting a white-haired guy and a bald guy who were particularly good at grabbing stuff today, I could have given you more, Sister."
"Did those two guys go to the meat sale too? I thought they only went to the seafood sale."
"I never thought that even men grabbing discounted items would be so fierce nowadays. And just thinking about this makes me mad, I don't know which guy, while snatching goods, also took the opportunity to grope my butt!"
Genos originally wanted to explain the misunderstanding and clarify that he wasn't a beggar, but these housewives were chattering away, and soon Genos realized that he couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Through these housewives' small talk, Genos also vaguely discovered that the white-haired guy and the bald guy they mentioned seemed to be people he knew...
"A bountiful harvest, a bountiful harvest! The things we bought this time will last for at least three or four days. The supermarket sales are truly a blessing for us poor folks."
"It's good that I made it in time. Otherwise, you alone wouldn't be a match for those housewives.
In the past, Yecheng didn't pay much attention to the so-called supermarket sale days. But ever since he became unemployed, his tight-budgeted self quickly became obsessed with the supermarket bargain-hunting scene, just like Baldhead.
Not to mention anything else, the first time he and Baldhead arrived at this "battlefield," Yecheng was also intimidated by the aura of those elderly women.
He, a powerful individual capable of suppressing Dragon-Rank monsters, had only managed to grab some leftovers in the previous two supermarket rushes!
For ordinary people, Yecheng and Saitama naturally couldn't use force, so their strategy was to utilize their speed advantage to outpace others.
However, those elderly women were not to be underestimated. They precisely knew when the supermarket sales started and the exact locations of all discounted items. They even coordinated with each other.
So, in the previous rushes, Yecheng and Saitama were thoroughly defeated.
But after a period of "special training," they are now different! That's why they could return triumphantly this time!
When Yecheng and Saitama, carrying a small mountain of supermarket sale items, walked out of the supermarket's automatic doors, they immediately saw Genos surrounded by a group of young housewives, and they all looked at each other in silence.
The clever Yecheng took a glance at the numerous ingredients in front of Genos and the housewives surrounding him and instantly understood what had happened.
Unfortunately, the bald guy beside him wasn't very discreet, or perhaps he wasn't smart enough. At this moment, he actually greeted Genos.
"Genos, we're done on this side... Huh, what's going on over there?"
Yecheng originally wanted to cover Baldhead's mouth, but he was a step too late because he was also holding a lot of items.
"So, the disabled little brother with blonde hair, are you acquainted with these two guys? Were you intentionally acting pitiful at the supermarket entrance to gain our sympathy?"
The original misunderstanding has now become even bigger! Moreover, Genos could feel the anger of these young housewives rising at a visible rate!
As a modified human, he was now sensing a dangerous aura from this group of ordinary women.
No wonder Teacher Yecheng and Teacher Saitama said they were powerful opponents; it turned out to be like this!
