Chapter 61 Utaha's Bad Day
🕑 Added 2025-11-10 23:39:24 +0000 UTCOne month later.
The best-selling newspaper on Planet Terra, Hero News, reported:
"At the enthusiastic invitation of Prime Minister Fujiwara, the Grand Elder from Planet Namek has officially become the highest-ranking council member of the Hero Association. Simultaneously, his fiftieth son and the only Namekian Warrior, Nail, will succeed the late Dr. Bofoy, [Metal Knight], who died in the line of duty, as the new S-Class Hero ranked No. 5!"
Utaha was on the Shinkansen, traveling from City F to City A for school.
Utaha attended Shuchi'in Academy but didn't live in City A.
After all, City A, as the headquarters of the Hero Association, was recognized as the city with the highest safety coefficient on Planet Terra.
Consequently, housing prices there had naturally skyrocketed.
Although Utaha was a somewhat successful light novel author, the housing prices there were still far beyond her financial means.
When she saw the related report on her phone, Utaha's charming face couldn't help but reveal a deeply sarcastic smile.
‘Died in the line of duty?’
‘The choice of words was quite something.’
‘Did they think everyone were blind?’
‘Wasn't Bofoy killed by Genos under Lott's orders?’
The reason for such whitewashing was obvious to everyone… the current Hero Association was nothing but Lott's lackeys!
At that moment, the train had already entered City B and was steadily approaching City A.
Seeing the current miserable state of City A from afar, Utaha couldn't help but show a complex smile, muttering to herself softly:
"What will become of this planet in the future..."
Too much had happened in less than two months.
First, Lott's origins were exposed, the Hero Association attacked him en masse, and then he counterattacked and killed them.
Then, the moon was blown up, throwing the entire planet, no, reportedly the entire galaxy into chaos.
And then, just two days ago, the moon was repaired by something called [Dragon Balls].
Everything returned to normal, or at least seemed to return to normal...
Recalling the experiences of the past two months, Utaha couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Even a novel couldn't write a plot this thrilling.
And it wasn't over yet.
Although a young girl like Utaha, who only had her pretty face and literary talent, which was almost useless in this era, basically had no right to speak in the Universe Chat Room, she still lurked in the group frequently.
Those big shots always managed to say something shocking.
They often provided Utaha with unexpected inspiration for her novels.
However, not long ago, seeing Lott and Frieza's heated exchange, especially seeing Lott directly send Planet Terra's coordinates to Frieza, Utaha nearly cried through the screen.
‘Big shot, if you want to fight, go to the practice room, no, go to outer space to fight!’
‘Don't drag us small fries into this!’
According to specialist explanations from professionals in the group, that monster named ‘Frieza’ ruled over more than 100 planets.
With Utaha's mental capacity, she didn't even dare to imagine what kind of monster that was.
Boom-
Just as Utaha was lost in her random thoughts, she suddenly felt the world spin, stumbled, and fell to the ground.
"Ah!"
Utaha let out a pained cry.
She had directly crashed into the window.
Enduring the pain, she opened her eyes and found the entire train was in disarray.
Many people had already fallen, bleeding from head injuries.
She was relatively lucky, as the part that hit the window was the fleshiest part of her body, not a vital area like her head.
Apart from some sprains, she was otherwise unharmed.
"M-Monster!"
Just as Utaha, gritting her teeth against the pain, tried to stand up and see what had happened, the passengers in the carriage suddenly let out terrified screams.
Utaha's expression changed drastically as she looked outside.
She saw an enormous centipede, longer and larger than the train itself, causing goosebumps, had tightly bound the carriage.
What was even more hair-raising was that this centipede had a human face!
Without a doubt, it was a monster!
Seeing the human-faced centipede getting closer and closer, Utaha, terrified to the extreme, couldn't help but let out a bitter, tearful laugh:
"I forgot about these guys..."
She had just been thinking about what to do if that monster Frieza really came to Planet Terra-
But reality immediately told her that she didn't even need to wait for the external threat Frieza.
The internal threat of monsters was enough to take the lives of ordinary people like them.
The people sharing the train with Utaha also screamed in terror:
"Ahhh! Help! A monster! There's a monster!!"
"Heroes! Where are the heroes!?"
Upon seeing a monster, the first reaction was to call for professional heroes.
This had become a habit for every Terran.
Utaha also suppressed the pain in her ankle and took out her phone, intending to call the Hero Association's emergency number.
Suddenly, the centipede monster swung its long tail, lashing out at the passengers, including Utaha.
Utaha turned her face away in fear, tightly closing her eyes.
After all, she was just an 18-year-old girl.
However, several seconds passed, and the anticipated death did not come.
She didn't even feel a trace of pain.
Summoning her courage, Utaha opened her eyes and looked forward.
She saw a pale green light covering the centipede's tail, like an invisible giant hand, blocking it about half a meter away from her.
"Quick, run away!"
Following the direction of the shout, Utaha saw a woman whose figure was no less impressive than hers, with a face even more mature and enchanting than her own.
Utaha and the other passengers quickly reacted. Without further thought, they turned and fled in the direction opposite the centipede monster.
As she ran, Utaha glanced back at the mature beauty, who seemed a few years older than her, and thought inwardly:
‘I remember her... [Tornado of Terror]'s younger sister... the one ranked B-Class 1st...’
Fubuki controlled her telekinesis, barely blocking the centipede monster's attack.
However, after holding on for about half a minute, she finally stumbled, unable to maintain her telekinesis any longer.
Seizing this opportunity, the centipede monster increased its force, violently swatting Fubuki away.
"Ah!"
Hearing Fubuki's pained cry from behind, Utaha instinctively stopped.
Turning her head and seeing the centipede monster getting closer to Fubuki, she gritted her teeth, turned around, and ran back.
"B-Class Rank 1, [Blizzard of Hell]..."
At that moment, the centipede monster, now close to Fubuki, spoke in a human voice, "I know you. Always living in your sister's shadow, a pitifully weak hero."
Hearing the word ‘sister’, the trace of fear in Fubuki's eyes instantly turned into boundless anger.
This was the ‘word’ she least wanted mentioned.
The centipede monster continued, "My name is [Junior Centipede]. If you want to live, I'll give you a chance. Become a monster!"
Fubuki's expression shifted from anger to shock.
‘What was this centipede saying?’
‘Become a monster?’
