OPM: Heroics Start with Dual Kamui 150
🕑 Added 2025-09-20 16:09:00 +0000 UTCChapter 150: Loris’ Thought Process
Shinji heard Lily’s last words but pretended not to. He definitely wasn’t going to buy a couple of those comics for Lily to “inspect.” That would be way too inappropriate, since she was still a middle schooler.
“All right, let’s start studying.” He shifted the topic and sat at his desk, while Lily placed her bag beside him.
“Take out your exercises. Ask me directly if you have any questions,” Shinji said.
Then Lily started working on her problems. Whenever she didn’t understand something, she asked Shinji. He would explain it while writing out the solution, going step by step. He also went over the exercises she had already done, reviewing mistakes carefully.
These middle school math topics, although Shinji hadn’t studied them in a long time, were still fresh in his memory. Thanks to his enhanced memory after transmigrating, he could act as Lily’s teacher without any issue.
….
Half the afternoon passed before they realized the time.
Shinji glanced at the clock. “It’s already past five. Want to take a short break? Are we continuing tutoring tonight?”
“Yes, I feel fine. I want to take advantage of this chance to learn more,” Lily said with determination.
“Honestly, you teach much better than my math teacher. My teacher explains, but often only once. If I get distracted even a little, I completely lose track,” she admitted.
“That’s normal. Your teacher faces an entire class and has to keep up with the curriculum. I’m tutoring you one-on-one, so I can explain every point until you understand it,” Shinji explained calmly.
Lily fell silent, deep in thought.
She wished Shinji could tutor her all the time, so her grades would never dip. But that was out of the question. He was already an S-Class hero, having recently been ranked second. He must be tied up most of the time; the fact that he had time to tutor was a rare break.
“Since you plan to continue tonight, go rest in the living room. I will prepare the dinner,” Shinji said, breaking Lily’s train of thought.
“All right…” Lily nodded and put away her books and stationery in Shinji’s room. Then she left with him.
“Have you finished tutoring already?” Saitama asked, noticing them emerge.
It looked like King had already left. Saitama was no longer playing and had gone out to pick up some ingredients. He just placed the bangs when he noticed Shinji.
“Just temporarily. We’ll continue tonight,” Shinji replied.
“You are really hardworking, huh? Middle school teacher and a part-time professional hero. On the other hand, I was so weak back in school,” Saitama said with a look toward Lily, apologetic. “Sorry, I was busy playing with King before and forgot to greet you.”
“No, it’s fine! Really!” Lily shook her head vigorously.
She couldn’t accept Saitama’s apology. After all, this was an S-Class hero, the Caped Baldy, and alongside him was the so-called strongest man on Earth, King, both at the top of the hero world.
“If I’m not mistaken, you must be the Caped Baldy? I’m B-Class Three-Section Staff Lily. Please take care of me,” Lily said respectfully.
Hearing the name “Caped Baldy,” Saitama immediately looked exasperated.
“Please don’t call me that. Just call me Saitama…”
“?”
Lily was confused. Usually, heroes address each other by hero names. Only when they are familiar with someone do they use real names.
But this “Caped Baldy”…
“Saitama doesn’t like being called ‘Bald’…”
At that moment, Shinji whispered in Lily’s ear to explain.
Suddenly feeling someone’s breath so close, Lily shivered all over.
“Eek!” Her sensitive ears made an odd sound.
“……”
Shinji was slightly helpless. She was really that sensitive?
Although Lily quickly regained her composure, a faint blush remained on her face. Making such a strange sound in front of so many people was embarrassing and shy-making.
The others barely noticed. After all, everyone here was either a monster, a cyborg, or a naturally clueless bald guy who wouldn’t pick up on this.
Once she calmed down, Lily remembered what Shinji had whispered. Now she understood why Saitama didn’t want her to use the hero name “Caped Baldy.”
“All right, I’ll call you Saitama from now on.” She naturally shifted the topic.
“That’s more like it,” Saitama replied, noticeably happier being addressed by his real name.
“Then… next…”
Lily glanced around at everyone present. “Are we ordering takeout for dinner?”
Seeing Saitama and the others still around, she assumed they were here for a meal at Shinji’s place.
Saitama shook his head. “No, Shinji will prepare dinner soon. Honestly, I’m just here to freeload.”
“Huh? Shinji’s going to cook for so many people by himself?” Lily looked surprised.
“It should be enough for a few people,” Shinji said calmly.
“I’ll help too. Can’t just eat for free all the time,” Saitama added as he stretched a little.
Hearing this, Lily felt excited. What kind of food would Shinji cook by himself?
As Shinji and Saitama went into the kitchen to prepare dinner,
Loris, sitting opposite Lily, suddenly said in a cold, blunt tone, “You… want to marry Shinji, don’t you?”
Once again, Loris’ words shocked Lily.
“???”
This time, she was even more stunned than before. Her brain momentarily froze.
At first, she couldn’t react. After a few moments, she recalled what Loris had said and remained in utter disbelief. Lily was completely thrown off, unable to follow Loris’s train of thought.
Most girls might ask something like whether she liked a boy, but Loris was completely different. She jumped straight to the word “marriage.”
