Griffon the Brush off

Author's Note:

Whatโ€™s worse than finding a worm in your apple?


Finding half a worm

It was a new day in the life of our bald hero and as always he got up early to start the day with a good breakfast, once finished he would leave home to complete his community service hours. He was going all over the town looking for ponies to help since that's what the job indicated, helping whoever needs it, he kept looking in the town to see if anyone needed help with something, however he had no such luck until he met the mayoress.

-Hello Saitama- I greet him kindly

-Hello, are you the mayoress?-

-That's right. How are you?-

-Boring as always, you?-

-Quite agitated, I have a lot of work to do-

*At last, a person who needs help* thought our relieved hero -I help you-

-Oh, it's not necessary, I don't want to bother you-

-Hey, I'm on community service to help and I'm supposed to help whoever needs it-

-Oh right, okay follow me- Saitama obeyed and followed her as she requested

They both went to the mayoralty and headed to the mayor's office to see a stack of papers, our hero would only sigh in annoyance seeing the work he had to do and decided to start. The mayor told him that she needed help sorting each of the papers while the mayor signed them.

*My God, this is torture* he thought, wanting to jump out the window even though he knew the fall wouldn't do anything to him

After a couple of hours they finally finished with the big pile of papers, which would make our hero happy to finally finish, that horrible experience reminded him of when he was young and and he was going to school one of the Chemistry teachers put a work so long that it cost him several pages and made him want more than once to throw the work into the trash can.

-Finally we're done, thanks Saitama, I finished faster than when I normally do it alone-

*I don't want to do this anymore* -Is it always like this?-

-Actually today it was just a pile, usually there are more than one and I always finish super late, I spend almost half the day sitting here- she gets down from her chair to stretch while thinking about something *usually sitting so much makes feel my butt square, I should get me a more comfortable chair*

-Well, have a good day, I'm leaving- he turns around to leave that hellish room to never see those damn papers again *and to think that before he was a hero he was going to work as an clerk* before leaving it's braked by the mayoress -What's wrong?-

-I have something for you for such a good job- from one of the drawers of his desk she takes out a bag that she hands it to our hero

-What is this?- When he opened the bag, he would see that they were Bits

-It's your reward, enjoy it-

-Oh, thank you very much, Miss Mayor- he thanks her with a smile, which also makes the mayoress smile

-No need to thank-

After that Saitama left the mayoralty to walk a bit and relax after that work with the piles of papers, he looked at the bag that was levitating thanks to his magic. He sat on a nearby bench to rest while he thought about what to do with his newly obtained money thinking about various offers.

-I wonder what I'll eat tonight- he asked himself until a sound of exhalation took him out of his thoughts -Huh?- he turns to see a unicorn that was looking at him -Did you miss something?-

She was a turquoise unicorn with orange eyes, a tail and mane also turquoise but grayish and her cutie mark was a Lyre.

-Do you also sit like this?!- She asked, pointing at him with his hoof, Saitama was sitting like any person he would sit, resting his ass on the bench unlike the ponies that lay down

-Eh, yes, why?- he ask, confused by the unicorn's reaction

-I do too- said this, she sat down in the same way as our hero -you know, I've seen you a couple of times in Ponyville but I don't know your name-

-I'm Saitama-

-A pleasure Saitama, my name is Lyra Heartstrings-

-Okay-

-I'm surprised to find someone who also sit like a human-

-Human? What are you talking about?-

-Y-You promise not to laugh- she said a little nervous while touched his hooves (๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ)

-I won't laugh-

-Well, I feel that way because of humans, since I was little I have been fascinated by humans and I always try to imitate their actions. When I was little they used to tease me for believing in meaningless fantasies of something that never existed, but I knew that they could exist and I never gave up- she finished counting, waiting for Saitama's laughter or some mockery but he kept looking at her without showing any hint of emotion

-I see- he answered indifferently while opened the bag of Bits to count them to see how much he had

-D-Don't you think is childish or something like that?- She asked, still nervous

-Nah, if you think they're real, that's fine for you, they're your beliefs and I shouldn't have to criticize you- once he counted the Bits, he put them away and got ready to leave -well, I have to go shopping-

-Wait!- she stands in front of him, stopping him -Do you believe in humans?-

-Yes, after all there are dragons, ponies. Whatever it is me. It wouldn't be crazy for humans to exist- he replied, making Lyra smile and then hugging him, sticking his face against her chest *oh, her fur is soft and comfortable*

-Thank thank thank, I thought that I alone believed in humans, BonBon won't believe it when I tell her- she realizes how has our hero so she lets go somewhat embarrassed -s-sorry, I got excited-

-No problem- *Should I have told him that I am a human trapped in the body of an insect? Better not, I don't want her think I'm crazy*

Saitama was walking straight to buy when he met into Grandma Smith who looked a little scared so he decided to ask why she had that face.

-Everything is alright?-

-Oh, you must run, there's a snake!- She warned him as she "run" again.

-Snake?- Curious, he decides to look for the snake to prevent it from hurting someone -I think that with this I will continue helping and fulfilling my community service-

He walk in search of that snake while asking nearby ponies if they had seen it, they heard Grandma Smith scream for one but they haven't seen it. It continued until a peculiar scene was found: Fluttershy was being bullied by a griffon.

-Hey, it's a griffin- in that he remembers that once he played those fighting games with King, he had chosen a character that was a humanoid griffin, Genos who was also there told him that griffins are a mythological creature, whose frontal part is that of a giant eagle with white feathers, a sharp beak and talons. The back is that of a lion with yellow fur, muscular legs and a long tail -I didn't know there were griffins here-

-I'm walking here!- she exclaimed as raised her wings, showing herself to be more threatening against poor Fluttershy, who just backed off

-Oh oh, I'm sorry, I was just trying]

-I'm sorry, I'm sorry- she interrupted imitating her voice -why don't you pay attention to where you're going clumsy-

-Hey, calm down- Saitama's voice caught the attention of both of them who turned to see -and she apologized to you, besides she just bumped into you, it's not to get like that-

The griffin stared at him from top to bottom examining him and then asked -What the hell are you?-

-I'm Saitama- the gryphon gave a small laugh

-A hero? Did you come to save this clumsy? With that ridiculous outfit you look like a clown- that clearly annoyed our hero a bit

-Hey, this suit is not ridiculous-

-Heh, it's very stupid. Mommy did it to you? Well, I know]

-Yes yes whatever, I'm busy- he addresses Fluttershy -Hey, have you seen a snake around here?-

-I-I haven't seen any snakes- replied our shy pegasus even though inside she thanked our hero for getting into this mess

-Hey, don't ignore me!- Saitama would turn to see her

-Go home or do something with your life, stop bothering the rest- having said this, he would go to ask another pony if had seen the snake, our hero's words clearly made the gryphon very angry, so she would attack him to teach a lesson that no one messes with her -Huh?- he saw the griffon stand in front of him, throwing a punch at him face, obviously she didn't hurt him

*D-Didn't do anything to him* she thought surprised even though she felt great pain in her claw, it's as if had hit metal very hard *m-my claw* she thought with her hand totally in pain

-Hey, I already told you, I'm busy, don't bother-

-Or else what?!- she ask defiantly

-I will punch you-

Both Saitama's face and words made the griffon feel a very ugly chill all over her body making her tremble, this entire scene would be seen by Pinkie Pie who would be amazed that she managed to intimidate the griffon.

-Now if you leave me alone, I must look for that snake- Saitama would fly away to get a better view of the air, maybe can find what he's looking for

-Come back here!- the furious gryphon would try to grab him but our hero would dodge it, so she tried to attack him with various blows to see if one could hit him but dodged them all without any problem, frustrating her even more -Stay still fool!- he would try to attack him again but he simply disappeared -Where did he go?!-

-Right here- appeared behind her, giving her a punch, sending her at great speed to crash to the ground leaving her knocked out -Gosh, what a nuisance-

-It can't be that I haven't found that snake, although now that I think about it it hasn't hurt anyone so I don't think I should worry so much- said this, he would return to the library where could continue reading Daring Doo, it's almost done for the end

-Hey!- Saitama would turn to see who was calling him seeing that it was Rainbow Dash and she looked very angry -We have to talk!-

-About what?-

-First you kill a manticore and now you hurt my friend! What the hell is wrong with you?!-

-What?-

-Don't play the idiot with me! I saw you, I saw how you hit her against the ground!-

-No, I really don't know who you're talking about-

-My best friend Gilda!!!-

-...-

-The griffin!!!-

-Ah yes, I remember- Rainbow Dash had to resist the urge to strangle him -Besides, she attacked me first and she wouldn't stop bothering me so I knocked her out, I don't know what you're complaining about-

-What am I complaining about?! She didn't wake up all day apart from a few broken bones! She will have to be in bed for several weeks to heal!- She was recriminating him as she approached him, hitting her forehead, staring at him -What will you do about it?!-

-Hey, calm down, I'll go apologize and that's it- that made the pegasus even more infuriated by the carefree way in which he responded to him, as if she didn't care about the fact that she sent her friend to the hospital with his punch

-YOU! YOU!- she better decide to keep what were going to say because most likely it won't work -better forget it, surely someone like you with that strength should not care about anything or anypony- having said this, she leaves there


Saitama entered the hospital doors with a bag of bananas, he asked the charge nurse about a griffin patient who came to visit her, she told him that she is in room 113 and that she had already woken up so he went there.

-Hey, you have visitors-

*Visit? It will be Rainbow Dash* thought the griffin but she would panic when saw that it was that guy who left her in such a bad state *perhaps he came to finish the job* she tried to run away but when moved his muscles caused a great pain in your body preventing from moving

-Hey, relax, I'm not here to hurt you- he approaches her while took a banana out of his bag -here, I brought you a banana-

-B-Banana?-

-Yes, banana- he replied while taking one of the bananas to eat it -by the way I came to apologize, I went a bit far with that punch-

-I don't accept your apologies, idiot! Do you know how long I'll be bedridden in this stupid bed?!- before our hero can answer she interrupts him -Weeks, weeks! Several weeks!-

-It doesn't matter if you accept them or not, I came to apologize and I did-

Said this, he would leave the room, leaving alone the gryphon who was still angry, Gilda would simply look at the banana that Saitama left her, growl and eat it reluctantly.

*You're lucky this banana tastes better than this disgusting hospital food*
