Hero-san and Former General-san ch3: Encounters and Meetings

p1
>Dear foolish Antinoid members who wouldn't even let me have a vacation.

>Here, Hayate-san.
>You can have this!

>Thank you so much, Honey-san!
>Don't worry about it<3

>So sweet~<3

>I, Honey Trap, have been hyper mega happy every day since I left the organization.
>So sweet...!

p3
Fufufu...
>I feel like my bond with Hayate-san has grown deeper as of late...
>Today feels just like a date, after all!

>Besides...
>It's like we're a pair of lovers.

>It's only a matter of time before we get married...

>Quite the cowardly face you've got there, Honey Trap.

p4
>Hah
>That voice...
>Melt Out!!
>Long time no see, Honey Trap.

>A friend of yours?
>I wouldn't put it that way...
>She's one of the generals I mentioned a while back.
>Antinoid General: Melt Out
>Wha...!? This woman!?

p5
>I remember.
>She was the mad scientist, right...?
>Yes.
>Melt Out... Known as the "Experimental Souer", she makes all kinds of items.
>She's also the one who made the Anti Debuster I use to transform.
>At any rate, she's dangerous.

>What is someone like that doing here...?

>Since I don't know what she's planning, I need to make sure she doesn't find out I'm a hero for now...!

>...I see.

p6
>So you're Rapid Rabbit's true identity, huh?
>Ah
>Oh crap!
>Y-Y-Y-You got it wrong! I don't know such a person!
>This person is catastrophically terrible at lying...

>>Identity Uknown
>So?
>What business does such a busy general have with me?
>Did you come here to finish me off for betraying you?

>...Well,
>I don't think you'll be a match for the two of us.

p7
>No, I'm on vacation today so I wasn't planning that at all.
>I just happened to see you and called out to you.
>So even evil organisations have days off...

>Is that all... Well that's a relief, right, Honey-sa...

>Honey-san!?
>Va...
>cation...?

>It can't be... That black organization didn't give me any days off...!

>Thate Antinoids coerced X into giving them some time off.
>>Peace
>>Give us a day off!
>>Stupid hood!
>>Anti-Black Leadership Kaijin: Strike Antinoid
>What an underhanded method!!!

p8
>Your ways are as underhanded as ever, Melt...
>I don't choose the means.
>I just use what I have.

>Wait, if you've got no business with me then get lost already!!
>I refuse.
>I'm meeting up with someone here.

>Meeting up? With who?

>Someone you should know quite well.
>You remember Kyouka Suigetsu, right?

>!
>Don't tell me she's coming here too?

p9
>Honey-san! Kyouka Suigetsu is...
>Yes.
>Another general like Melt...

>She came to this world for reconnaisance long before I arrived.
>Usually paired with Melt, she's got plenty of secret techniques.

>Those two must be close to meet up with each other on a day off~
>I never said something so carefree!

>She's a cool-headed swordswoman...!
>When she spots her target, she'll pursue them with no remorse.
>...!

>Here she is.
>!

>Did somebody call for me?

>Kyouka Suigetsu...!

p10
>Wait, WHO!!?
>Man~ This city's full of wonderful shops~

>Oh my? Long time no see, Master Honey~!
>Master Honey!?

p11
>H-
>Honey-san!
>She looks completely different from how you described her!
>Awawawawa
>No, I don't know such an otaku-looking girl either!
>Who is that woman!?

>?
>It's Kyouka.
>What are you saying?
>She looks nothing like her!!

>Ah, but it looks like she's carrying some swords.
>Those are just glow sticks!!

>You've changed way too much!!
>What the heck happened!?

>Oh, right. You wouldn't recognise me in this outfit.
>Let me get changed.

p12
>Tada~!
>Quick change complete!!
>Kyouka Suigetsu has just arrived!!
>Antinoid General: Kyouka Suigetsu

>Well, the thing is, I've been shut inside like moss and doing the same things everyday since coming to this world. Before I knew it, I ended up like this...
>She's been tainted...
>It's like "oof"...

>What gives, Melt!?
>You just okay with your partner ending up like this!?
>Hm.

>I don't mind.
>She's incredibly flexible.

p13
>Ah, by the way, that pretty girl over there is Rapid Rabbit, right?
>Found out again!!
>Well, being with me would give it away...

>Heh~ So this is is Master Honey's...

>...You guys kissed yet?
>Wha-

>Moron!! Don't say weird stuff in front of her!!!
>Don't pluck them! I'll go bald!!
>She's plucking mushrooms...
>They're edible, by the way...
>You can eat those!?

p14
>Hey.
>You're the one who's changed, Master Honey!

>You, who had the most hatred for humans out of all of us, is now protecting them!?

>...You're right.

>We're lifeforms who exterminate humans.
>Protecting humans isn't realistic at all.

>But I'll do it.

p15
>Because I'm in love.
>Huh?

>I'm in love with the hero.
>N-No, that's not exactly a good reason...

>If you have feelings of love, you can do anything.
>Honey-san~
>That's what that girl taught me.

>Hmm, this girl doesn't really have the right to say "oof" about others.

p16
>...Well, whatever.

>I'm on a date right now.
>I don't have time to be chatting with you two.
>What a selfish woman...

>...Oh right, there's one last thing I wanted to ask you about.
>What?

>...The ring on that girl's arm.
>...

p17
>I see.
>So that's Rapid Rabbit's...
>I did think it was strange.

>Don't you think it's odd, Honey Trap?
>Normal humans lose all memory of us Antinoids.
>What is this?

>Yet in spite of that, that human... Rapid Rabbit retains her memories.

>! So you do know something...
>No.
>I don't know what that thing is.

>However
>I'll tell you one thing.

p18
>That is a "dimensional seal".
>Wha...

>Just watch your back.
>I'll back off for today.

>Let's go, Kyouka.
>Ah, hey! Wait for me, Master Melt~!!

p19
>They were a lot friendlier than I expected.
>No, they're our enemies!!
>The mankind destroying type!!!

>Hah, I totally forgot!!
>She's so pure!!
>But that's just fine...

>Oh yeah, what were you talking to that woman about just now?
>...

>Nothing.
>Just some idle gossip.

p20
>Hey, Master Melt~
>White, huh...

p21
>Aren't you being a little too clingy?

>...Not really.

>Ah, I get it!

>Did you get all jealous seeing Master Honey and that girl on their date?
>! That's not...

p22
>But too bad. I've got so much to do, like catching up on my prerecorded anime, unpacking my figures, and clearing all the routes in this new gal game.
>...Those certainly aren't the words I'd expect from a kaijin trying to destroy mankind...

>Well then, I'm gonna watch some anime.
>Ah.
>...
>Do you ever think about that sometimes?
>Like...
>wanting to go to a theme park... or something...

>I don't.
>An immediate reply?

p23
>Watching anime, peeking up the skirts of figures and swamping myself in dating sims without a care...
>I'll never get tired of that.
>I-I see.

>Wouldn't you be able to concentrate more if you did it by yourself?

>That would be incorrect.

>It's fun
>because Master Melt is with me, after all!

p24
>D-
>Don't act so out of character!
>Huh~?
>Are you blushing?
>I am not!

>We're having mushrooms today~
>Wait! Where did you get those mushrooms!?
