"Ah, good afternoon!"

The door slightly opening after I knocked multiple times on it revealed a man with eyes sluggishly looking at mine.

I was at a loss of words not only because he still wears his pajamas till afternoon, but also because his head...looked like an egg.

"Yes?"

Hearing his voice asking what my intention was, I scolded myself for thinking about such things to my neighbor and started apologizing to him, "I-I'm sorry! I just thought your head looked like an egg and you were a weirdo because you're still wearing that in a hot afternoon! I'm sorry I was rude—"

"Oh. So you were the new occupant of the room next door! No wonder it was so noisy yesterday."

Speaking as if he never minded what I was apologizing about, I decided to brush off the topic and hold out an average-sized box towards him, "Yes, that's right! I'm here to greet my neighbors and—"

"Whoa! Are these cookies?" He excitedly asked as soon as he opened the box full of my homemade cookies, his eyes looking like a child's, "O-oh, yes. I made them this morning and just finished them a while ago, so please eat it while it's still warm."

"Oh. Would you like to come in and have some of your cookies with me?"

"I would love to, but I still need to greet the other neighbors, so if you may please excuse me..."

"I see. Okay. Thank you for these!"

Bowing my head as he closed his door, I sighed in relief, knowing that it went well on my first try. Now I feel like I can do the rest without a glitch.

Realizing that I only have him as a neighbor within that floor, it left me with many boxes at home. I forgot I'm in Z-City, so there's no doubt that only a few will live here. This city is notorious for monsters, after all.

It's not that I forced myself into living here, but I had heard from my colleagues from my previous work that there is an apartment complex in Z-City that charges its tenants at a very low cost. Of course, being an economical person ever since my parents left me alone in this world tempted me to move into this city despite the fact that it is dangerous living here.

Well, living everywhere is dangerous anyways. I think I won't care about it anymore. What matters is that I can save more money.

Oh, right. I don't know his name...

My wristwatch beeping multiple times made me go rushing towards my apartment. I started changing my clothes and then grabbed a large reusable bag before coming out only to be greeted by an...egghead.

"O-oh! It's you! I-I'm sorry but I need to go to the nearest mart since there's a supermarket sale—"

"Whaaaaaaaat?!"

Shouting in disbelief, the egg man quickly grabbed something inside his apartment and held my hand as we both started running towards the supermarket...not.

It actually happened in a blink of an eye. I did not even used my legs to run. I think I was...flying.

I am actually a mess right now. My hair looked like I just woke up and my eyes were opened wide in incredulity.

"What are you doing, standing there? We only have half an hour left!"

"O-oh! Yes! Coming!"

"Phew! We got a haul!" He spoke as he brought a lot of bags in his hands, making me giggle, "You're right. Good thing we made it in time for the sale! I totally forgot about it!"

"I actually thought the sale's due tomorrow! I'm thankful you are there to remind me."

"Hahaha! It's a coincidence. I guess you're a busy man, since you forget these kind of things."

"W-well...I guess," He responded with a titter; I then noticed his clothes were not as ordinary as what I was wearing. He has a white cape secured on his shoulders and...a yellow jumpsuit. He also wears a pair of red gloves and red boots, which I found really, really weird.

Though I don't really mind having him as a neighbor. He's a good person, at least.

"By the way, I forgot to ask for your name."

"Oh, it's Saitama. And you?"

Putting down the bag I'm carrying, I properly introduced myself as I gave him a bright smile, "My name's (Y/N). It's a pleasure to meet you, Saitama-san!"

"Ah. Likewise."

"I will apologize in advance if ever my question sounds offending to you, but I am really curious about this."

"What?"

"W-well...uh..."

"Hmm?"

"Why do you wear those kind of clothes?"

"Oh! Well, it's convenient if ever I encounter monsters on the way."

"Monsters? You deal with them?!"

"Y-yeah."

"W-who are you, really?" Asking him even if I am not believing him anytime soon, the man in front of me put down what he's carrying and walked a little bit ahead, wind inscrutably blowing towards us, making him look like...

"I'm just a guy who's a hero for fun."

A hero, that I've never heard of.
