King's Weekend-like Weekday
Manga ChapterKing's Weekend-like Weekday is a bonus chapter bundled with Volume 12 of One-Punch Man. It mines the running joke of King's undeserved reputation for comedy, as a squad of assassins reads his every harmless gaming habit as a calculated threat.
Summary
King sits in a restaurant writing a scene for the game he is developing. A six-member outfit known as the Hitman Clan has been hired to kill the famed S-Class hero, and they shadow his every gesture, convinced that his apparent caution is deliberate.
Key Events
When King abruptly shouts at his laptop, the assassins take it as a warning that he has already spotted them. He rises, scans the room, and simply orders a melon soda. One killer approaches with a concealed weapon, but King, mistaking him for an autograph seeker, stops the man from reaching into his pocket to guard his own secret identity. With their scheme foiled, the clan abandons the job.

Outside, Saitama shows up to visit and is blocked by a guard, whom he casually knocks out along with the rest. He joins King for a round of video games and ends up losing.
