With a hand in his pocket, a hooded man could be seen walking down the road.
Arriving in front of a convenience store, he walked inside and started picking up daily necessities and food items.
Looking at the high price of beef he frowned and walked towards the counter.
Behind the counter stood a young, energetic woman who lightly greeted him and then started counting the total amount.
"That will be 1600 yen...."
After paying the money to the cashier, he grabbed the groceries and walked out of the convenience store.
But just when he was about to go home, he stopped and turned his head back.
Inside the convenience store, he saw a man holding a knife and pointing it at the woman behind the counter.
Seeing the young woman's scared expression, he gently placed the grocery down, and turned around, opening the store's door.
Then his figure vanished from the spot.
Appearing right in front of the robber.
"Wha--"
With a light flick on his forehead, the robber passed out.
Looking at the shock on the young cashier woman's face, the hooded man smiled and cooly placed his hand on the counter.
"What do you think? About your knight in shiny armor?"
Hearing his cheeky words a blush appeared on the young woman's face.
Seeing it was working, the hooded man's smile widened.
"Are you free today? How about dinner--"
Before he could continue a gush of wind came from the open door, pushing back his hood, revealing a bald head.
For a moment time seemed to freeze.
The young woman stared fixedly at his bald head.
After all.
It was shining.
*Puff*
The woman hurriedly raised her hand to block her mouth.
Unfortunately, the damage was already done.
Without saying a single word, the bald man silently raised his hood to cover his bald head, then proceeded to walk out of the convenience store.
Looking at his retreating back, the young woman started feeling guilty.
Opening her mouth she shouted in a hurry.
"Thank you! And...um...your head is very impressive!"
*Bam*
The convenience store's door closed with a loud sound.
Under the helpless gaze of the young woman, the bald man quickly walked away.
Seeing that he was gone, she looked at the unconscious robber, and then quickly called the police.
Leaving the convenience store, the man hurriedly entered an alley and pulled back his hoody, revealing his bald head.
Tightly clenching his fists he shouted in an unresigned voice.
"Why is it so hard to find a girlfriend?!.."
His name was Saitama.
A dedicated member of the World Transmigration Association.
Though technically he was the one and only member...
But that wasn't important.
What's important is that it's been 16 years since he came to this damn world!
16 years!
16 years as the strongest person in the world! And he's still fcking single!
"God dammit! I want my hair back!"
It was all because of this goddamn bald head of his!
It ruins everything for him!
Suddenly several gangster-looking men suddenly walked out from inside the alley, holding their ears in pain.
"Hey, baldy why the fck are you shouting so loudly for?!"
The leading gangster skillfully waved the knife in his hand making a threatening gesture.
Saitama looked at the man with blank eyes.
"Bald.....did you just say, baldy?..."
"Fck yes I called you baldy you bald donk--"
A fist landed on the gangster's face, launching him straight into the sky and away.
The other gangsters looked at the scene with their mouths wide open.
Saitama took a step towards them.
"Now what did you call me?...."
The gangsters trembled in fear.
"Come call me baldy again, I dare you."
Saitama made an encouraging gesture towards them.
The gangsters hurriedly shook their heads.
Saitama pointed his finger toward the fat bald dude among the gangsters.
"You, bald man, you can leave."
The bald gangster stopped shaking and looked around in confusion, before carefully pointing at himself, asking for confirmation.
Seeing Saitama nod his head, a touched expression appeared on the bald gangster's face.
With tears streaming down his eyes he hurriedly ran passed Saitama and exited the alley, leaving behind words of gratitude.
"Thank you! Comrade!"
Only a bald man can understand another bald man.
The other gangsters looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Saitama raised his fist in response.
That night several stars could be seen flying through the sky.
----
After putting up his hood again, Saitama walked down the familiar road.
After some time, he stopped in front of a house.
Raising his hand he rang the doorbell.
*Tringg*
Listening to the hurried sound of footsteps, he silently took a step back.
The door opened with a loud sound, barely avoiding hitting Saitama's face revealing the figure of a cute white-haired, golden-eyed loli.
"I'm back Koneko."
Saitama raised his hand and patted her head.
Koneko ignored the head pat and moved her eyes around, finding nothing, she stared back at Saitama and asked in a serious voice.
"Where's the food?"
"Huh?"
Saitama's hand froze.
Food?
Wait.....oh.....
He seemed to have forgotten it....back at the convinient store.....
Koneko gave him a deep look.
Saitama slowly retracted his hand.
Koneko continued staring at him.
Saitama turned his head towards the side and said in a small voice.
"That.....the shop was closed..."
"Liar."
*Bam*
Koneko closed the door and locked it.
Leaving Saitama outside.
Releasing a sigh, Saitama raised his head and looked at the night sky.
Looking at the full moon, he sat down in front of the door and silently enjoyed the scene.
After some time.
Behind him, Koneko silently opened the house's door and peeked out.
Looking at Saitama's lonely back, her eyes softened.
But just when she was about to call him inside, a sad voice reached her ears.
"Sigh...Koneko if only you weren't flat chested."
A blank look appeared on Koneko's face.
Coming back inside she silently closed the door, and locked it up for real this time.
The bald bastard can sleep outside!
