Hero-san ch18: Different Dimension vs. Super Dimension

p1
>>What's being reflected in those pure eyes...?

>Boss!!
>I wanna be of use to everyone outside of battle too!
>Just say the word and I'll help out with anything!!

>...
>Are you sure you're working at the right place?
>Heh?

p2
>Fufu. What a splendid attitude.
>In that case, I think I'll start by having you join my little reading group.
>Cool-san!
>Reading... Sounds great! What are we reading?

>I have a genre I'd like to recommend you.
>Of the non-thin variety.
>Eh? There are non-thin books too?
>You sure know a lot, Cool-san!
>That's some really prejudiced knowledge.

p3
>My recommendation would be...
>Hey.

>Get away from my daughter, you suspicious woman.

>You sure think badly of people, Melt-kun.
>Don't you feel it? The overflowing infinite potential coming from Moe-kun?
>I absolutely don't want my daughter learning from a bad influence like you.
>S-Stop fighting~...

p4
>It's just as Lady Melt says!
>The only books our family reads are thin ones!!
>>Back from the shops
>Aren't you a pretty bad influence on her yourself?
>>Makainoana [tn: lit. "hell hole", parody of doujin specialist store Toranoana]

>No thick books. Only thin...
>...

>...Hey, Melt-chan.
>You haven't told that girl anything about this organisation, have you?

p5
>What's the meaning of this?
>Giving a mere kaijin a name and fussing over her like that.

>I simply picked the most efficient means to an end.
>It won't interfere with your plans.

>Also, it was better to give her a proper name rather than something extremely nameless like "X" or whatever.
>Huh!?

>Besides, as the perfect kaijin, Moe is an existence that possesses an ego.

>If she says she's fighting to protect us,
>then it's better to let her think of it that way.

>...
>That's a lie, isn't it?

p6
>This isn't because it's efficient, as you so proclaim.
>You've grown attached
>to this creation of yours that you call your "daughter".

>And it's that emotion known as "love"...
>that will become a huge obstacle standing in the way of the Antinoids destroying humanity.

>Ngh...

p7
>Hmph... Love, you say?
>How idiotic.
>Aren't you just afraid that you'll lose to Rapid Rabbit and Honey Trap?

>...X (Not at all)...
>All outsiders will be crushed thoroughly.

>That's the Antinoid way.

p8
>>Nagihono Apartments

>>Make your wishes come true!! 913 Ways to Make Your Confession a Success

>Hayate-san, I love you!!

p9
>Honey-san...! Actually, I love you too...

>Hayate-san...!
>Honey-san...!

>Ahaha~
>Ufufu~
>...Wait, it's because I can't do that that I haven't made any progress!!

>Hah~...
>To think I'd resort to using one of these human books...
>If Hayate-san were to find me with something like this...
>Honey-san, I'm home!

p10
>I finished my morning job!

>...? What are you doing, Honey-san?
>>Hiding it behind her back
>Eh?
>No,
>this is...

>What have you got back there?
>GULP
>N-Nothing.

p11
>How suspicious...
>Would you mind turning around for a second?
>Eh?
>That's a bit...
>Ah

>Uwaaaah~~~~!!
>As happy as I am about this situation, it's gonna be awkward if she finds this book!!
>I gotta do some...

p12
>thing...

>......
>Hm?

>S-Sorry about that, Honey-san.
>You didn't hit your head, did you?
>It's fine...
>Hmmm~~~~~!?

p13
>Wh-What just happened!?

>Hah
>Don't tell me...!
>The reason Hayate-san's been acting so weird lately
>is because she's fallen in love with me!?

>Wait, get a grip, Honey!!
>There's no way it'd be that convenient...!

>There's... no way...

p14
>...No.

>Maybe there really is...

>Um, Hayate-san.
>There's something I'd like to...

p15
>Ah
>At the worst possible time!!

>Sorry, Honey-san! We'll have to talk about it later!
>Ah...

>...I guess I need to start moving forwards too.

p16
>You've shown up yet again I see, Antinoid!

>...Huh?
>Nobody's here...?

>Fufufu. I've been waiting for you, bad guys!

p17
>Today's the day we settle this!!

>Why are you so high up...?

>Ahem!
>Heroes are known for climbing tall places!
>That's your only reason!?

>Ah! But looking down all the time really hurts my neck...
>Hold on a sec! I'll be right down!
>She's so honest.

p18
>I didn't expect to see all of the generals come at once...
>Isn't four against two pretty cowardly?

p19
>No, that's wrong!
>We're combining our forces...
>to stand up against a great evil!!
>She's passing it off like it's a good thing...

>You always fight against countless combatants with just the two of you,
>so there's no point arguing about numbers now, is there?
>>2 vs. Many, All OK!
>That theory's way too ridiculous!
>There's quite a huge point, actually!!

>...How do you like it? This is our "connected strength".
>!

p20
>Although it's more of a powerful "hostility" from wanting to defeat you two.

>X...!
>...I see. I thought it smelt like one of your dirty tactics.

>In that case, Hayate-san,
>we should go all out too.
>Yeah!

p21
>Hyper Trans Up!!

>Trans Up!
>Trans On!!

>...Trans Up.

p23
>That form...
>It looks like it's gotten weaker.
>...No thanks to you.

>Fu
>But it won't be a problem.
>I simply have to crush you
>with the power of all of my Antinoid generals.

p24
>...Now then.

>How long will your "connection" last?
>Hayate-chan. Honey-chan.
