Chapter 40: Do Whatever You Like

Gulululu..

The sound of gurgling water echoed in Mr.3s ears as he was rescued by the Navy after nearly drowning. He was handcuffed and taken aboard the ship, along with his partner in crime, Miss Goldenweek.

The young girl was still half asleep, and was startled to find herself suddenly plunged into the ocean. After choking on a few mouthfuls of salty seawater, she was finally saved by the Navy.

But all of Miss Goldenweeks pigments had been washed away by the seawater. Now, she looked no different from an ordinary ten-year-old girl.

As for Mr.3, who possessed supernatural powers, he had lost all of his fighting abilities and was now lying on the deck of Saitamas warship, spitting out water like a whale. It was a pitiful sight to behold.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Indeed, its them.

Robin glanced at them briefly, then turned her gaze to Saitama. Although we already knew that you were strong, it seems that this surprise is even bigger than expectedYou are truly extraordinary, Rear Admiral.

Saitama didnt even turn his head, crouching down in front of the two captives and examining them closely. Its precisely because Im so strong that I feel troubled some times

Oh? Robin raised an eyebrow. Youre so powerful that theres still something that troubles you?

Yes Saitama paused for a moment, his expression growing slightly awkward as he turned back to face her. For examplehair.

Robin was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled. Hehyou have quite a sense of humor, Saitama-san.

No, actually, Im quite bored Saitama shook his head in boredom, as he gazed at Miss Goldenweek crouching in front of him. He couldnt help but notice the paint set hanging from her waist and inquired, Excuse me, MissWhat was that name again? he turned towards Robin, seeking assistance.

Its Goldenweek! Miss Goldenweek! Robin replied with a chuckle.

Saitamas face turned grave as he addressed the young girl, Honestly, you guys must start using real names. So little lady, whats your actual name?

Its Marianne, she replied softly.

Saitamas face lit up, What a lovely name! You should use it, Marianne. So youre the one who can manipulate peoples emotions with colors?

Marianne nodded. Yes, thats me.

Tashigi leaned in and whispered to Saitama, You know, you two have very similar expressions

Saitama turned towards Tashigi, his eyes widening in amusement, Wait, are you suggesting that I look like a little girl? he exclaimed with a grin.

The little girl stood there stoically, her face a mask of indifference that belied the fire that burned within her. I detest this occupation, Miss Golden Week intoned flatly when Tashigi queried her. All I have ever wanted was to be an artist, but I am bound by the shackles of necessity, unable to relinquish my duties. Consequently, my lips have long forgotten how to curve into a smile. All I crave is to complete my tasks and bask in the pleasures of rest and the delectable sweetness of buns.

However, his bravado was short-lived, as the seastone sapped his strength, and he fell to the ground gasping for air. Im gonna die, Im gonna die

Now that youre awake, theres no need for further rescue, Tashigi said, turning to the surrounding Marines with a commanding presence.

Without hesitation, the Marines swiftly apprehended Mr. 3 and took him away to a cell.

As Mr. 3 was led away, Miss Goldenweek stood up and extended her small hand towards Tashigi.

Tashigi was taken aback by the unexpected gesture. You too? she said, puzzled.

Miss Goldenweeks unwavering gaze held no trace of fear. I am also one of his comrades, and while I may not have committed a direct crime, I did assist Mr. 3. Therefore, please arrest me as well.

Tashigi hesitated, struggling to reconcile the young girls innocence with the harsh reality of their situation. But youre just a child she said softly.

The little girl shook her head with conviction. Age is no excuse for wrongdoing. If I have transgressed the law, then I must face the consequences, regardless of my youth.

Feeling a sense of unease, Tashigi turned to Saitama for support. His keen senses picked up her unspoken plea for guidance.

True, crime is crime, and age should not be a mitigating factor, Saitama said, his voice low and resolute. But! let me ask you, did you choose to participate in these illegal activities of your own free will?

The girl shook her head, her eyes filled with shame. No, I did not.

Then this is your punishment. He said, nodding gravely. With a quick flick of his finger, he lightly tapped her forehead. Go and do what you truly desire. But remember, if I ever catch you in a criminal organization again, I will not be merciful.

Marianne hesitated for a moment before a radiant smile broke out across her face. Thank you, she said, a newfound determination in her voice. I will do my best to make amends for my mistakes.
