TL Notes: I kept「『ひーろー』のおにいちゃん」as “Big Bro Hero” for the card title despite localizing it as “Mr. Hero” in-story since it caps off one of Junior’s nightly phone calls with his own big bro, and I love me some cohesion. Chris was formally introduced in Rock Out Heroes, and I recommend reading the Hero’s Diner event before this card story.

Phew~~~ That hit the spot......

Nothing beats a super-sized hamburg steak after a long day of patrolling ★

Pretty convenient that Uncle Jim's is in Yellow West, considering how many deals the manager cuts me every time I pop in

Ehehe ♪ I'll drop by for another bite soon—

Waaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Whoa?!

The hell was that...... I nearly shit myself

Waaahh, Mommyyyy! Where's my mommy~~~!?

Oi, you there. You okay?

............

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! MOMMYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Chill! You don't have to blast my damn eardrums out!

Shit...... this kid's lost, isn't he?

I wanna help him find his mom, but I dunno how to deal with all of this......

*sniff* Waaaahh!!!!!

... Hey kid, look here for a sec

............

!! Whoaaaa......!

I'm a hero from HELIOS. D'you need help finding your mom?

A real live hero!! Hey Mr. Hero, do that cool thing again—!

I asked you a question, y'know...

At least he isn't screaming anymore

You feeling a bit better? ...... How about we look for your mom together—

I really can't thank you enough for finding him

It's no problem at all ♪

Thanks, Mr. Hero! Bye-by~e!

See ya! Stick closer to your mom, 'kay?

...... Phew

(He gave me the runaround before I could even run around looking for his mom......)

(I'm just relieved I was able to reunite them in the end—)

Wow, you're incredible, Mr. Hero!

!? Didn't you already leave—?

Ciao, sparky ☆

You two......! Why the hell're you here!?

I should be the one asking you that, little guy. Isn't it a bit late for you to be running around in uniform?

!! Are you saying...... Did you see all of that?

Mhmm. Or at least that you got all dressed up just to chaperone a lost kid

That's beca— The only reason I changed into my suit was to shut the brat up! I couldn't get a word in edgewise while he was wailing bloody murder

Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. Figured that was the case

Ugh......

You're the sweetest, sparky~! Coming to that sweet little boy's rescue ♪

W-Well, that's......

I mean, like, he's a little boy himself

Augh!!! Shut the fuck up, no one asked you!

Aha, did that piss you off ♪

But y'know what, back when we were part-timing at Uncle Jim's Diner, you had no idea how to deal with those little ankle-biters

I could hear the steam whistling out your ears when they called you Chibisuke. Yep yep, you've grown up a lot since then, bolt boy.

Grown up....

Hey. Shitty DJ. You better not be about to say "but he hasn't gotten any taller" or some shit

? I wasn't gonna say anything like that though?

Pfft...... You are aware then that you haven't grown an inch

Ki——!!! Didn't I tell you to keep your damn mouth shut!?

Now, I'm not the one who brought it up, was I?

Guh.....

Hah. Whatever, I don't really give a fuck about that

...... It's only natural that I'd act kind or mature

I'm a hero, right? It's a given I'd help anyone lost or in trouble.

............

Whew, should've known! You're right on the money, bolt boy, you acted like a real hero would

Pfft, you're trying so hard to look cool............

Haah!? The hell are you tryna say!!!!

There, there— it's nothing. I think you're doing a great job at being a hero, ochibi-chan.

............

Mhmm... yeah. That's right, and he even listened to me all proper-like

F-For real......?

Hehe. Thanks, bro

But really, that kid wouldn't stop crying at first, y'know? He was making such a racket the whole street was rubbernecking

What!?

I...... don't remember ever being like that......

Grown-up......

............

Ah...... yeah, I guess you could say that

I mean, it's a given that I'll help those in need

After all...... I'm a hero ★
