"You go ahead and attend to your matters; I'll wait here for a bit!"
Asahi nodded. If a girl came to thank him, he was willing. Besides, he needed a place to rest, though he could handle it casually if he wanted to. But having someone help him wasn't bad either.
Upon hearing Asahi's words, Fubuki's face lit up with a smile, and then she immediately went to help her injured members.
The ambulance arrived soon after, taking away the injured heroes. It was a narrow escape. These people would recover in a while, and those with minor injuries didn't even need to go to the hospital.
After dealing with these matters, Fubuki immediately had her subordinates make a restaurant reservation, intending to invite Asahi to dinner.
However, just as she finished booking the upscale restaurant and before she could speak, she saw a green light descending from the sky.
"Sister!"
Fubuki's face immediately collapsed when she saw this scene. It wasn't too surprising that Tatsumaki was coming. Because she asked for her help this time, and Tatsumaki would definitely come over. She knew her sister was doing it for her own good.
But she couldn't understand her sister's ideology. Because of a remark made years ago, Tatsumaki believed that one could only rely on oneself, and companions were all worthless. Fubuki, on the other hand, believed that by building a strong enough force, she could contend with her sister. These sisters were two completely opposite extremes.
Therefore, the two sisters didn't get along well. Or rather, Tatsumaki cared more about Fubuki, but because Fubuki challenged Tatsumaki's beliefs, the relationship between them became strained.
In fact, according to the character setting given by Blast back then, Asahi guessed three possible reasons for Blast to say such thing to Tatsumaki.
One was Blast himself is a lone wolf to the extreme, which led to such remarks. It was somewhat similar to other heroes who tended to ignore things that didn't concern them.
The second type was Blast teaching Tatsumaki. At such times, when there was no one to rely on, one must rely on oneself and be strong. His point was not to deny companions when Tatsumaki had none to rely on but to rely on her own strength to overcome adversity.
Companionship is indeed needed, but one cannot rely on it, that's the second layer of meaning, and also the closest one.
As for the third one, it's not Blast who said so, but Saitama, who crossed over to the past. With Saitama's character, it's quite possible for him to say something like that, because he doesn't care about these things.
As for the hair and costume, those aren't issues either, as he can just wear a wig.
Of course, this possibility is still very small, and Asahi hasn't directly reversed time to see what happened in the past. He's not that idle, although he could do it, but why bother?
"Fubuki, look at yourself now. Your Blizzard Group is completely unnecessary... It's like playing house; you ran away by yourself, but what's the result? Because of a bunch of burdens, you didn't even escape. You're not even a match…"
The news of Asahi's intervention has already been reported, and Tatsumaki also knows. She's busy scolding her sister. In her opinion, the Blizzard Group is simply unnecessary.
"Not this again. I won't agree with that. And today, it's not you who saved me, but this gentleman here!"
A few crosses appeared on Fubuki's forehead, as she was extremely annoyed by Tatsumaki's rant.
"What did you say?"
Tatsumaki was also furious. She came all this way to help her sister, not to hear her sister say such things.
But she can't be mad with her sister, so she immediately shifted her gaze to Asahi.
"Uh, am I being dragged into this? Actually, this kind of thing has nothing to do with me!"
Asahi said somewhat speechlessly. He wondered how did he become the target just because the topic changed.
"That's... you saved Fubuki, right? I admit you're somewhat capable, and thank you for saving Fubuki, but that doesn't give you the right to be arrogant…"
Tatsumaki started rambling on, but Asahi was speechless at this moment, 'When did I become arrogant?'
Indeed, women's hearts are as elusive as needles in the sea. Even though Asahi has encountered various women with different personalities, Tatsumaki, who is so unreasonable, is the first one he's met. It's truly beyond words.
"Sorry, that's just how my sister is. And, sister, can you please stop? It's not this gentleman's fault. He saved us, but he has never been arrogant. If you have any grievances, just direct them at me!"
Fubuki was also helpless and could only continue to refute Tatsumaki.
"Ha! You're actually siding with a stranger against your own sister? Looks like I'll have to teach you a lesson!"
Tatsumaki, who is a Siscon, couldn't accept it. She felt like her own cabbage had been stolen by a pig in the blink of an eye.
"To be honest, although I don't want to argue with you, there should be a limit to crossing the line. And your personality is truly beyond words. So, please, go sleep and dream a little. If you can wake up from it, it'll be beneficial for you!"
After saying this, Asahi waved his hand, and Tatsumaki's eyes closed as she fainted.
"Asa… Asahi-san, what did you do to my sister?"
After controlling her barrier with her esper power, Fubuki asked with some worry.
"Don't worry, I just let her sleep for a while and created a dream for her, a special dream that will make her understand the importance of companions and the dangers of acting recklessly."
"If she comprehends it, she will naturally wake up. Of course, even if she doesn't, she'll wake up directly in three days. During this time, you must take good care of your sister!"
Asahi expressed. He just slightly adjusted her way of thinking. After all, she was fixated on something, and it needed to be corrected.
"I see. Thank you very much, Asahi-san!"
Fubuki nodded. As for how Tatsumaki would eat for the next few days, it was simple— she can just use esper power to handle it.
So she thought it was fine, and Asahi probably wouldn't deceive them either. After all, there was no reason to continue deceiving them after saving them, right?
So Fubuki now trusted Asahi. In the next few days, she would take care of her sister, even if the worst-case scenario happened and Tatsumaki didn't wake up until three days later.
As for the probability she woke up earlier? Well, let's not put too much hope for it.
