Counterfeit Hero

Hescoe saw the staff member’s anxious face and couldn’t help but panic a bit himself. He asked, "Who’s causing trouble?!" The staff member replied, "You’d better go take a look. It’s hard to explain, but they’re threatening to take down our sign. Everyone is gathered there."

Realizing the situation was serious, Hescoe hung up the phone and ran to the door. Suddenly, he remembered he had a guest. Turning back, he offered an apologetic and wry smile to Fatty and said, "Master, please sit here for a while, I’ll go check it out." Fatty, curious, stood up and said, "Go ahead, we’ll also check out what’s going on."

Hescoe didn’t have time for pleasantries with Fatty and quickly followed the desperately anxious staff member to the disturbance. When Fatty and his group slowly arrived, the workshop was already crowded with people, all laughing and talking.

Someone said gleefully, "We came at the right time today, it’s so lively."

The person next to them gestured excitedly, "Yeah, I just saw two idiots arguing, my stomach hurts from laughing."

Another person scoffed, "Those two rookies are no big deal. That Fatty running was hilarious, like he had a rocket on his butt."

Someone else said regretfully, "Darn, I got here late and missed everything. Did Fatty put on a show?"

The person next to them eagerly interjected, "I saw it! Fatty streaked, and man, was he fast!"

Another person looked stunned, "...Fatty streaked? ...But I saw him wearing clothes."

The person next to them smugly said, "Well, that’s because you didn’t look closely... he wore clothes on the outside, but he was streaking underneath!"
