A/N: Just here to remind y'all I have a deviantART, iHateFridays, where I occasionally post art for this story (as well as the comic), and a tumblr, onepunchsimulatorcomic, which is pretty self explanatory. Happy reading!

"I have a job that only you and one other can do, Mr. Saitama."

"That's unusual," Saitama said, giving the Association member a weird look. "The Association rarely relies on me. But sure, I'll do it. I'll beat up monsters for you." He frowned. "Hey, wait, who's this 'one other' you're talking about?"

The association member gestured to the front of the restaurant. A tan young man with polyester blonde hair, a gakuran with a red armband, and a blue neck-tie came in. A camera was around his neck.

"Mr. Saitama, this is the Class B rank 69 hero 'Fred'," the member introduced. "He's the leader of the hero group known as the 'Mystery Gang'. We believe his investigate skills will help you on your quest."

"Fred?" Saitama asked, staring at the young man. "That's kind of a weird hero name."

"Yeah, I know," Fred laughed. "It came from a TV show I used to watch when I was a kid. A lot of people say I look like one of the main characters from that show."

"Really?" Saitama asked. "That's pretty cool."

"Well, hey, your hero name is Caped Baldy, right?" Fred asked, making a face.

Saitama scowled. "Just call me Saitama."

"And you can call me Fureddo, if you want," Fred said, offering his hand to Saitama.

Saitama shook his hand. "Will do."

Fureddo turned to the Association member. "So, what's the quest you wanted us to go on?"

The Association worker pulled out a sheet of paper with an crudely-drawn image of a cat.

"Find this lost cat," he said.

"Aw man," Saitama sighed, looking around the streets. "This picture is no help. Cats are everywhere."

"You're mean!" a little girl shouted. "I drew the best I could! I'm gonna tell my Daddy! You're gonna get fired! Fired!"

"Even worse, we're babysitting.." Saitama muttered, turning to Fureddo.

Fureddo turned to the little girl, who was still fuming. She had black hair tied into a ponytail, and wore a frilly skirt.

He kneeled down, giving her a smile. "Don't worry, kid. We'll find your cat, okay?"

"Hmph!" the girl scoffed. "Without me, you'd never recognise Torako!"

"And that's why you're very important," Fureddo said, gently patting her shoulder. "Now, where was the last place you saw her?"

The girl scowled. "I don't remember... I think it was around here somewhere!"

"Do you know specifically?" Fureddo asked.

"I just said I don't remember, you idiot!" the girl yelled.

Fureddo stood up, looking around. He walked over to a cat which was sitting on a box. It jumped off as he approached.

"This box is obviously a hot-spot for cats," he concluded. "Which means it's likely Torako was here. Considering most feral cats hang around alleyways, she probably wandered off into the streets. And that means..." he pointed to an alleyway, "we need to go this way!"

"Torako isn't feral!" the girl shouted. "You're mean!"

"Quit repeating yourself, kid," Saitama told her. "He's putting a lot of effort into finding your cat, y'know. You should be thanking him."
