One Punch of Justice Chapter 277: Buddha Statue (Fanwai)

This is an extravaganza, the story takes place in the original world of Saitama.

——

"Please give me two baked sweet potatoes."

Heavy snow flew, and Saitama, dressed in thick winter clothes, hat and scarf, stood in front of the roasted sweet potato stall. With the voice, the hot mist came out of his mouth.

Today is Christmas.

KING invited Saitama and Jenos to visit his house.

Jenos will be a little late to deal with the disaster, so Saitama is the only one walking in the snow now.

Although I don’t care too much about festivals, since I have received an invitation, please bring some gifts over...

Saitama thought so.

Then took the two roasted sweet potatoes packaged by the boss, and prepared to pay.

But...

"...scared?"

Touching the empty pockets, the corners of Saitama's mouth twitched: "...My wallet... seems to be lost. I remember to bring it with you when I go out."

Speaking of this, Saitama habitually looks around.

After confirming that Fuyuki was not found, Saitama's face was full of regrets visible to the naked eye.

"That... please wait a moment, I'll go back and look for it."

Saitama gave the roasted sweet potatoes to the boss, put his hands in his pockets, and walked back along his footsteps when he came. He looked carefully, but unfortunately he didn't find anything after walking two streets.

Fortunately, the snow is a bit heavy today.

There is almost no one on the road.

So you don’t have to worry about being picked up by others...

"I found my wallet again!!!"

Oh! ?

Saitama was still looking for it with her head down. Suddenly, she heard an excited voice not far ahead. He looked up and found a middle-aged man with a little red eyes smiling. He was holding it. I accidentally lost my wallet.

"Thank the Buddha, thank the Buddha..."

As soon as Saitama walked over, he heard the middle-aged man muttering incessantly, and then he put it in his pocket and was about to leave.

"...Hey, it's mine, don't just stuff it into your own pocket."

Hearing Saitama’s voice, the middle-aged man turned his head very vigilantly, clutching his pocket and purse inside, and looking up and down at Saitama several times before sneered: "Don’t think I’ll be fooled, this It was something the Buddha gave me. I said you...have an honest face. It's not good to lie casually, and you will get retribution!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Saitama looked dazed: "I want to buy baked sweet potatoes, quickly return my wallet."

"Ahem..."

The middle-aged man not only has a little red eye sockets, but his face is also unhealthyly pale. After coughing twice, he looks a little impatient: "You fellow, stop pestering me! I said this was given to me by the Buddha Things, get out of the way! Don’t delay my time! I’m going to buy tributes!"

At this point, Saitama is no longer eager to get back his wallet.

Instead, he became interested in the "Buddha" that this person repeatedly mentioned.

"Buddha? What is that?"

Saitama blinked: "And you are sick, would it be better not to go out?"

"Huh, what do you know..."

The middle-aged man turned around and walked into the distance against the wind and snow: "This kind of small illness, with the blessing of the Buddha, will soon be healed... Whether it is pain or disease, it will not hurt me. ……"

Saitama glanced at him: "Oh."

"...you don't seem to believe it at all."

The middle-aged man’s faith was questioned, and he was unhappy at the time: “You don’t understand anything at all. There is a statue of God enshrined in Tennoji Temple. As long as you enshrine him, you can get good luck. Calamity will not come to us, he is the true god..."

"That's it."

Saitama nodded clearly, and asked seriously, "So did he show you his ID card?"

……

"You fool!"

The middle-aged man slapped his face suddenly, feeling like an idiot: "Talking to you is a waste of my time! It is because of the existence of the Buddha that the temple has not been attacked by strangers. By the way Just to mention, since I worshipped Buddha, I often found my wallet..."

Saitama is full of black lines: "Hey, in front of the owner, you really dare to say..."

……

That's it.

Because of the stubbornness of this middle-aged man and Saitama's curiosity about "Buddha", Saitama walked with the middle-aged man for a long time in a snowy day, and finally found an unclosed convenience store and bought a lot of seasonal The fruit, then hugged it in his arms and walked back hard against the wind and snow.

A rare peace.

In this kind of weather, even weirdos are not willing to go out...

It's been a long time.

Saitama followed the middle-aged man to a temple in the wild mountain.

Although there is heavy snow outside and even the streets of the city are uninhabited, there are unexpectedly many people here piously lining up on the steps in front of the temple.

The middle-aged men in the back also line up.

Saitama went straight to the door, looked inside, and then saw all kinds of people and heard such a wish...

"Please bless me with the first prize in the next lottery!"

"Buddha, please let the second tornado of S rank fall in love with me, please!"

"Me! Me! I want to marry Sweetheart Mask!"

"I have donated a lot of money, Buddha, please let the president of my competitor company be hit by a car and die!"

"Buddha, let me become the grandson of the tycoon Algni!"

……

The Buddha statue standing in the middle of the temple puts hands together, listening to such words in my ears, neither happy nor sad.

The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger, but the line is getting longer and longer.

Finally...

"Boom!!!!"

In the mountain, a snowman that was so huge as to cover the sky was condensed into shape, with scarlet eyes and even fangs!

"I'm Grandpa Snowman!"

The extremely huge snowman roared to the sky: "Because it is too huge to be close to the sun, I have to endure the heavy snowfall for a week to show up. My dear snowman son and snowman grandson are dead, and I want to avenge humanity. !!!"

The sound was deafening, resounding through the valley!

Although the people in front of the temple panicked, they did not lose their minds. They still tightly surrounded the temple, holding on to the pillars, believing that this Buddha statue could help them alleviate disasters.

It's a pity...

"Hhoo!!!"

The blizzard is whizzing past!

Grandpa Snowman just took a breath and uprooted the entire temple and blew it into the sky!

Cold and weightless!

I didn't realize the tremor deep in my soul until I clearly faced the most direct horror!

"Ah!!!"

Screams and crying are mixed.

People were desperate, collapsed, and even screamed at the Buddha statues that had been faithful in the previous second.

Then.

At this most desperate moment!

Suddenly a figure jumped up, and with one hand held the roof against the blizzard and pushed the entire temple back to the ground!

"Boom!!!"

After a loud noise, the snow cleared.

"I said you guys..."

On the roof, the plush hat did not know where it was blown.

The scarf was raised, and a bald head stood there, maintaining a punch posture.

In front of him was a snowman in the sky with a huge hole several thousand meters in diameter in his chest.

Close your fists and look back.

Saitama glanced at the people who were paralyzed in the snow: "...People, it's better to rely on yourself."

After a brief silence, cheers and crying sounded again.

Someone thanked Saitama.

It's a very perfunctory tone.

Because the rest of their lives have to vent their anger to calm their emotions.

The former believers took up the Buddha statue and threw it down the mountain with abhorrence, cursing the most vicious curse in their mouths, and then dispersed within a short time.

But the middle-aged man did not leave.

He knelt on the ground as if his life had collapsed, sprinkled the fruit on the floor, and kept muttering and repeating: "I obviously spent so much money to worship him, but he couldn't even protect me... "

"Convenience stores make money."

I don’t know when, Saitama walked to his side and squatted down, and then glanced at the place where the tribute was originally placed in the tattered temple: "And the things are just left there and broken...In fact, this'Buddha' , Didn’t take anything at all, right?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback and seemed a little unwilling: "But I bought the best incense..."

"Ah, such things often happen."

Saitama nodded: "Mother will put the green pepper in the child's bowl, but the child may not like it... So, can you give me your wallet?"

……

Taking the wallet back, Saitama did not continue to buy baked sweet potatoes.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, looking at the Buddha statue lying in the snow, Saitama reached out and helped him up.

"It's really idle, those people..."

Saitama patted the snow on his hands and turned around to leave.

But at this moment, there was a sound of shoes stepping on the snow not far away.

Saitama looked back, only to find that it was a little girl whose face was flushed with cold.

She saw the Buddha statue with a happy smile on her face. She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then she took the pair of red gloves off her hand very religiously and placed it in front of the Buddha statue, and then bowed and whispered: "Buddha, Buddha, I only have this. This is for you. Don’t be angry with your mother, okay?"

It turns out that she came with her mother.

Because the Buddha statue failed to protect her mother, her mother and other people just threw the Buddha statue under the mountain.

But the little girl felt guilty.

Because she doesn't think the Buddha owes them anything.

So I secretly used my gloves as a reward.

A sensible child.

……

"Can you help me ask her, do you have any wishes?"

……

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang from Saitama's mind.

Saitama was startled and glanced at the Buddha statue.

Old-fashioned, rigid, and lifeless.

Saitama thought for a while, and finally asked the little girl: "...Well, do you have a wish you want to realize?"

"Wish?"

The little girl blinked, shook her head obediently, and bowed again to the Buddha statue: "You are asking the eldest brother to ask me, thank you, I am very happy, and I hope you will be happy and safe, Buddha."

Suddenly.

Saitama saw the Buddha statue and smiled.

The little girl walks away.

Saitama stood in the snow for a long time.

……

"Ah...really..."

It was already noon when I arrived at KING's house~IndoMTL.com~.

Saitama was shaking snow at the entrance, while complaining: "...Suddenly it started to snow again, and it floated into my neck, it was chilly."

Jenos and KING came over in the room.

……

"Did the teacher go out in the morning without wearing a scarf?"

"Give it to a friend."

"Saitama, yesterday you said you would bring me a gift..."

"...ah...I have forgotten everything."

……

The lens is zoomed out, and the sky is full of snow.

In the remote suburbs, besides the red gloves, there was another scarf on a Buddha statue.
