Saitama's Interview

Saitama stood just outside the glass doors of the news station, staring at his reflection. He adjusted his cape, making sure it sat just right on his shoulders. He didn't particularly care how he looked, but Genos had insisted he try to look "presentable" for his first live television interview.

With a sigh, he pushed the door open and walked inside. The receptionist, a young woman with bright red hair, glanced up from her desk and smiled.

"Hello, you must be Saitama. Yuka will be with you in just a moment," she said, motioning for him to sit in the waiting area.

Saitama nodded and took a seat. He tapped his foot impatiently. He wasn't nervous, just bored. Interviews weren't exactly his thing. He'd much rather be home playing video games or shopping for bargains at the supermarket.

A few minutes later, a tall, elegant woman with short black hair and a sharp, professional outfit approached him. She extended a hand with a bright smile.

"Hello, Saitama. I'm Yuka. Thank you for coming in today."

Saitama stood up and shook her hand. "Yeah, no problem."

"Shall we head to the studio?" she asked, gesturing towards a set of double doors down the hall.

"Sure."

They walked together, Yuka leading the way with confident strides. Saitama followed, his cape swaying slightly with each step. The studio was bustling with activity. Cameramen adjusted their equipment, and producers whispered hurried instructions into their headsets.

Yuka led him to a comfortable-looking chair positioned opposite hers.

"Have a seat. We'll be live in just a few minutes."

Saitama sat down, his eyes wandering around the set. Bright lights shone down on them, and a large camera pointed directly at him. He adjusted his cape again, more out of habit than necessity.

"Do you need anything before we start?" Yuka asked, settling into her own chair.

Saitama shook his head. "No, I'm good."

A producer counted down from behind the camera, and the red light blinked on. Yuka's smile grew even brighter as she faced the camera.

"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to City A News. Today, we have a special guest with us—Saitama, also known as the Caped Baldy. Thank you for joining us, Saitama."

Saitama gave a small nod.

"Yeah, thanks for having me."

Yuka turned to face him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"So, Saitama, can you tell us a bit about how you became a hero?"

Saitama scratched his cheek, thinking.

"Well, I just wanted to be a hero for fun, you know? So, I trained really hard. Then, one day, I just...became really strong."

Yuka raised an eyebrow. "Really strong? Can you elaborate on that?"

Saitama shrugged. "I punch things so hard that they disappear in one punch."

Yuka blinked, momentarily taken aback.

"One punch? That's incredible. But doesn't that make your job as a hero a bit...easy?"

"Yeah, pretty much. There's not much of a challenge anymore." Saitama replied nonchalantly.

"So, what do you do when you're not fighting villains?" Yuka asked, leaning forward with interest.

"I like to watch TV, play video games, and go shopping. There's usually a good sale on Saturdays."
