Months later, Tanjiro and his squad continue training everyday.

They gradually becoming stronger each time passed.

Pushing themselves to the point they don't realized that their bodies feel more lighter and their muscles becoming rougher.

Tanjiro worked hard so he can eventually defeat Kanao in both cup games and duel matches.

Blowing many clay gourds as he can from small to large type.

Tanjiro doesn't want to become burden to Saitama's side.

And then one week later, he did defeat her

Naho, Sumi and Kiyo would cheer and yell "Tanjiro won!!" Yelling happily for Tanjiro's victory in defeating Kanao.

"That's great big bro Tanjiro! You defeated her!" Compliments Naho while cheering and hoping.

Sumi would clap her hands in joyful manner "Yeah yeah! You are so cool~ big bro Tanjiro!"

"You defeated her in all games too! You are becoming stronger!" Smiles Kiyo while being spirited.

Zenitsu and Inosuke overheard their conversation, they would peek from outside as they see the little girls celebrating Tanjiro's victory, they feel envy towards Tanjiro because Tanjiro defeated Kanao in all games.

"DAMN IT!" Yells Inosuke at Zenitsu's ear, Inosuke walks off angrily then shouts "I'm gonna train harder than that!! I promise to become stronger!"

"S-stop yelling at my ear you stupid irritating boar! I'm gonna become deaf because of your loud annoying voice!" Yells Zenitsu who is annoyed of the fuming Inosuke.

"That's because you are slacking off in the mansion, you can't even clean a dust in the floor!" Talks backs Inosuke.

"HUH? You even steal food at the cabinet! Did you forget that you dumb animal!? That's why miss Aoi beat you up!" Grunts Zenitsu, doesn't like to get lose in a heated argument.

Tanjiro tried to break the fight "C-calm down Zenitsu and Inosuke and please lower your tone! Because mister Saitama is still sleeping..."

Tanjiro would exclaimed when he saw Saitama appear out of nowhere infront of Zenitsu and Inosuke, the fight suddenly ended when they see the dead eyes of the tired hero.

Saitama just appear infront of them with trembling look, his eyes has eyebags like he didn't sleep for the entire night. The hero would hold some stick in his right hand like he is about to punish them "didn't I told you both not to be noisy early in the morning when someone is still sleeping??"

"Aahhh! I'm sorry mister Saitama, I won't do it again!" Zenitsu runs away scared to get punished

"That's because that yellow head starts the fight first!" Inosuke fumes and crosses arm, defending himself from any accusation, he feels prideful and is feeling innocent.

Saitama sighed and looks at Tanjiro, the hero has a look of haste.

"Tanjiro, I'm gonna go out to buy something at the shop, so you better manage this place without me, you get that?" Says Saitama in his brother like tone.

"Leave it to me mister Saitama, and please come back soon!" Smiles Tanjiro while being energetic.

"Yeah, I'll be back..." Saitama leaves afterwards while carrying a basket.

At the North Town, in a busy streets.

(noisy crowd)

Saitama went to the shop at the town to buy some new socks.

He got a lot of money and the hero's exhaustion would turn into excitement.

"What should I buy today?" Wonders the hero as he would think of spending his money wisely.

The hero decided what to buy, he would smile as he can remember the days in his original world, the hero would be happy that when he return home, someone would greet him, in his original world, no one beside Genos would greet him.

But the hero misses Genos. "I wonder what that guy is doing at the time like this....I bet he is lonely right now.."

The hero would shrug off the problem as he only thinks of his kids at home.

But...

When Saitama returns home while holding his basket full of vegetables,

He can hear someone screaming for help.

The hero's poker look would turn into a look of seriousness and worry that he immediately dashes to check what's going on.

And then he just saw someone abducting girls.

The scream of help would paused when the girls noticed the hero standing blankly.

"What's going on here?" Saitama asked as he stare at the awkward situation.

(Silence)

The one who abducted them, none other than Tengen Uzui, the sound Hashira carrying Naho and Aoi in his shoulder.

"Huh? What are you doing to those girls? And why are you holding them? Do you have business with them?" Asked Saitama in confused look while scratching his head.

"M-Mister Saitama...." Naho's eyes would become watery as she plead help to the hero.

"Mister Saitama! Help me!" Aoi pleaded with scared look.

"Help me mister Saitama!" Naho cries while wriggling at Tengen's grasp.

The poker faced hero looks at Kanao, Naho and Sumi holding Tengen and would ask "this guy is abducting them?"

Kanao, Kiyo and Sumi would nodded with scared look. Even Kanao can't disobey superiors order but she still help them stop the sound pillar.

Saitama would become angry "hey put them down, what the heck are you thinking you big guy? Those girls don't fight demons especially that little girl because she is only a helper in this mansion!"

Tengen looks at Naho then drops her promptly "then I don't need her.." he has still Aoi in his arm.

Luckily Tanjiro was there to catch Naho "hey what are you doing with her you freak!"

Tengen would respond with a blank look "I'm not a freak, I am flamboyantly gorgeous man!"

Tengen would jump at the fence while still holding Aoi in his shoulder.

Aoi feels anxiety as she turns pale "help me mister Saitama, Tanjiro....I don't want to join with him..."

Tengen would be disappointed at Aoi "hey don't be like that, you should follow your superior's order.."

Tengen then shifted his glare at the hero.

Tengen would frown at the hero's remarks "don't barge in my business baldy, I am here to recruit them for my investigation task, so mind your own business"

Saitama let out an annoyed sighed as he crosses his arm "if you don't put her down, I'm gonna put you to your own place"

Tengen would be amused of the hero's threat "hah! Try me!" Tengen acting cocky as he is confident in his own ability.

Zenitsu and Inosuke arrived, protecting other girls when they noticed the commotion. They have a look of bravery as they hated the sound pillar abducting Aoi.

Tanjiro would be mad at seeing this "hey you! Put Aoi down! Are you going to abuse her huh!?"

"Y-yeah put her down you jerk!" Says the scared Zenitsu with tearful eyes.

Inosuke would be angry at this as he defended and tries to help "put her down! If you bring her! Who will bring some snacks to us!?"

"Huh!?? All you think is snacks!?" Zenitsu gets mad as he disciplines Inosuke.

(Tengen smacks Aoi's butt)

(Aoi yelps and covers her mouth in embarrassment)

"Listen you jackasses! You have no authority to control me or to tell me what I am gonna do! This mission is very important because of the rumors in the district about a malicious demon appearance! So I suggest you to listen to your superiors!" Says the cocky Tengen while grinning at them.

Saitama facepalmed himself on how stubborn Tengen is "I'm gonna count one to three if you don't put her down, I'll put you to your own place and smack you like what you did to Aoi..."

Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke smiles nervously as they gulped, they already know the outcome of the fight. They would step back and allow Saitama to handle the situation.

Tengen would smirk and acts cocky again "hah! Don't you dare do that mister baldy, you must understand that this mission is important to me as your fellow!"

"1....2.....3...." as Saitama counts, he doesn't hesitate to save Aoi from Tengen's control

Then Saitama gives him a strong smack in the butt, which sent Tengen flying away until he got hit in the tree.

Tengen dashes forward and goes battle stance while being serious "hey you hurt me, now you face consequences...."

Saitama crosses his arms with his poker look "don't bother with it, I'll take you on.."

Tanjiro would go at the center and shouts "ENOUGH PLEASE, we don't like pointless fights so we will replace Aoi and Naho as your assistants!"

Tengen would be pleased at Tanjiro's response "what do you mean 'we'?"

Zenitsu and Inosuke would step forward with brave look "we are!"

"Hey hey hey, are you gonna join with that freak?" Saitama in annoyed look, he would cross his arm as he look at Tengen with disgust.

Tengen would ignore Saitama as he grin at the trio, he crosses his arms and commands them "good! Now let's go--"

"Ah ah ah~ I heard some commotion here, mind you explain this mister Tengen...?" Shinobu would appear behind Tengen, her aura with malice and anger hiding behind her smile.

"M-miss Shinobu....." Tengen looks slowly with blank look yet he hides his anxiety, he would be scared of her wrath as he don't like her seeing like that.

Shinobu would grab Tengen's ear and drag him to her mansion, she would stop for awhile, glances at the hero and gesture him to come inside "mister Saitama, someone is looking for you inside, you better talk to him, and oh he is also looking for Tanjiro"

"Hm? Who could it be...?" Saitama wonders as he walk with Shinobu inside.

"Mister Saitama, shall we go inside?" Tanjiro asked while nervous.

"Yeah, we should, maybe it's someone we know" Saitama would walk inside while sighing in relief.

Aoi and the girls were hugging each other after getting saved.

Zentisu and Inosuke were still arguing at the corner.

Saitama would be happy that everything was settled. He would walk inside while holding his basket full of vegetables.

When they enter inside the mansion at the guest room.

They can't believe it

The visitor was none other than Kyojuro Rengoku

"Hello Tanjiro! Hello mister Saitama!" Says the lively Rengoku while eating bento.

Tanjiro was surprised at the sudden visit of the flame pillar "M-mister Rengoku!!! Good day!"

"Huh? What are you doing here? I thought you are on a leave?" Asked Saitama in curious look.

Tengen's eyes would go wide "Mister Rengoku? Why are you here? Do you have business with us?"

"Hmhm, I heard you look for some assistants in your mission, I don't mind to come along since mister Saitama and Tanjiro would come too, right?" Grins Rengoku while waiting for their response.

"My my~ isn't that great that someone offers you assistance, but I want to hear why are you touching my kids without my awareness, mister Tengen? Explain briefly before I punish you" Asked Shinobu with a fake smile, a smile hides her sadism.

Tengen would sigh as he sit at the floor, still scared of Shinobu's presence he would surrender and explain the secret in his sudden abduction.

"My wives went missing one week without bringing me any news about the missing women in entertainment district, when I found out they are really missing
