Chapter 17_Welcome to the Multiverse Group Chat!!!

Chapter 17

 Saturday morning.

 Aika went off to Akiharabara in search of inspiration for the cosy she’ll have Yuuji’s family wear for their n. She already had something in mind, but she wanted more options before Yuuji bought it in the shop. Perhaps, she’ll find something even more appropriate for them here!

 She went there with a jacket and long pants, as well as a hat, fake sses, and mask to obscure her face. With her appearance now, she’ll definitely get a lot of attention, which was something she didn’t want. She just wants to weeb out and enjoy her time in the holynd of anime and manga and search for sexy cosys outfits!!!

 Unfortunately, despite all her efforts, the shape of her curvaceous figure was still apparent even through her jacket. Her massive breasts simply couldn’t be hidden unless it was a thick, heavy, winter jacket. Moreover, instead of hiding her wide, round hips and butt, her long pants entuated them instead as well as her long, slender legs.

 Instead of hiding her beauty, she was just like a famous, extremely beautiful top model or actress trying to hide her identity. Her beauty, charisma, and aura were still apparent even through her obscuration efforts, making her still attract attention.

 But, it wasn’t meaningless. While some still turn heads to stare at her for a moment, approached her, or even tried to take a picture so they could ask the inte if anyone recognized her, she was still getting a lot less attention than if she would go there in her usual clothes.

 Going around the holynd, Aika also went ahead and collected some “cultured” mangas, games, and anime figures she came across as she search for inspiration.

 As the truly “cultured” girl that she is, she had a mix of hetero, BL, and yuri amongst her collection. But while she would also have some with g*ngb*ng or NTR in the past, she somehow couldn’t get into it now that she has fallen in love. The notion of being “used” by more than one man simply didn’t make her horny anymore. In fact, she seemed to have developed a dislike for them, to her surprise.

 Oh? So this is the power of love…?

 She really didn’t expect her “taste” to change from simply falling in love. But perhaps, that’s just how amazing her target of affection is. He made her so crazy about him that she couldn’t think of any other guy aside from him~!

 Aika took out her phone and stared at her wallpaper once again. It was still Yuuji’s selfie that he sent a few days ago, but this time, it was the one where he was resting his cheek on his hand and smiling ever so softly and lovingly at her. She had been changing her wallpaper with different selfies of him every day, and she had to admit, this one was quite high on the list of her favorites.

 Of course, her favorite was the one where he’s standing in front of a mirror in a pure white shirt that he lifted up slightly, disying his sexy 8-pack abs and v-line, while looking at her with the gaze of a hungry predator and biting his lips.

 She really couldn’t use that as her wallpaper. If she did, she’ll be horny right then and there whenever she sees it, so it’s better to keep it as her “fuel” whenever she wants to “relieve” herself.

 Ah! No, I got to focus!

 Aika shook her head and flick the screen of her phone several times, trying her best not to get distracted by Yuuji’s selfies until she finally found what she was looking for.

 It was the photo of Yuuji’s family that she requested to get a better understanding of their appearance.

 Umu umu… For Mira-san, a beautiful, busty elven milf would suit her very well. But then they’d have to think about the ears, so maybe a beautiful, busty human milf would be better? …Wait, isn’t that just who she is? Hm, maybe I should stick with the fantasy setting but just busty, female human characters.

 Aika was heavily considering having Yuuji’s family members wear cosys from eroge, r18 mangas, and hentai animes. After all, they were all extremely beautiful and super, super hot and sexy!

 But she didn’t know if Yuuji would want his family members to cosy as a character from an r18 title. His family would most likely disagree to cooperate as well if it was extremely risque. So she had to consider regr sfw titles and characters as well to suggest to Yuuji.

 Moreover, it couldn’t be an anime or manga that is set in a regr world. After all, she didn’t know what characters might actually exist in Yuuji’s world. Perhaps there were none, but with hermon sense about worlds thrown out of the window the moment she entered the Multiverse Group Chat, she couldn’t be sure anymore. So just to be safe, she had to choose from a world with a magical, fantasy, sci-fi, or the like since Yuuji’s world didn’t have such things.

 Hm… This is pretty difficult…

 As Aika continued to contemte, she arrived before one of thergest anime/figurine shops in Akihabara, Umiumi.

 Ah, I came here before I knew it… Well, might as well…

 Aika entered the store and wandered around, passing through various sections of the store to go to her usual hunting grounds, the r18 section.

 But as she passed through a certain section, a brilliant idea struck her!

 W-Wait… T-This is it!!! The shounen genre!!!!

 Beautiful, sexy women didn’t only exist in r18 or hi anime or manga titles! As a genre targeted toward young men, shounen manga also has a lot of hot and beautiful women!!!

 Kukuku~! I could finally see it…

 A grin finally appeared on her lips as Aika began to search for suitable characters for Yuuji’s family members to cosy as in the shounen section of the shop.

 --------------------------------X--------------------------------

 Afternoon.

 Aika returned to Kuoh via train and immediately head to her home after a sessful outing. Not only did she acquire plenty of “cultured” items, but she also has a list of characters she’s confident with to show Yuuji her n.

 It was truly a spark of brilliance and she couldn’t wait for Yuuji to see it.

 Aika walked through the neighborhood of her home as the sun that had started the set lit up the sky and street with an orange-red hue.

 It was quiet. Almost too quiet… Even though it was almost sunset, the streets in her neighborhood shouldn’t be this quiet…

 And just as she realized this, Aika noticed footsteps behind her.

 She forced herself to not look back on impulse and began paying attention to it. It was still far, but with her enhanced senses, she could hear it fairly clearly. It was heavy and it seemed like a boot, judging from the sound.

 If it was the past, Aika wouldn’t have paid much attention to it. After all, hearing footsteps on the street wasn’t that strange. But now that she knew the existence of demons, angels, and fallen angels, she was very alert and careful.

 Aika took a turn away from her home and continued to walk normally, trying to see if the footsteps followed her. And to her dejection, it did.

 Her rms began to re up as the footsteps began to increase in speed, approaching her.

 But still fighting her instincts to walk faster, she kept her calm. If it was what she thing they are, then alerting them that she knew they were following her would just be detrimental to her. But If she kept ignorance, they would approach her until they were close enough for her to counterattack.

 The footsteps kept getting closer and closer as he arrived at a four-way intersection. She snuck a nce at the convex mirror hung up high by a pole on one of the corners and saw the figure following her.

 It was a tall middle-aged man in a pale gray trench coat, ck pants, and ck fedora.

 Tch… So it’s them after all… Hah… I guess there’s no way out of this now…

 Sighing inwardly, Aika prepared herself mentally for her first real-life battle against someone who would be trying to actually kill her. She nced down at the ne she bought from the group chat and thought of her friends.

 Yuuji… Guys… Give me strength…

 The man in the pale grey trenchcoat stared at the delicious piece of meat before him, his eyes gleaming in lust as he stared at her big, luscious ass hugged tightly by her jeans.

 If it was any other time, he would’ve kidnapped her and used her as his meat f*ck hole and c*md*mp until she broke. But unfortunately, it was a mission from Raynare.

 Oh… But she didn’t say anything about not using her before killing her… Heh.

 A sick, sadistic grin appeared on his face as he conjured up a long and thin spear of light in his hand. He won’t kill her just yet. He’ll just stab her legs with this to prevent her from running and then use her to satisfy his lust before killing her.

 Heh, you could’ve died quickly before you even know what happen. Well, you can curse your beauty for this.

 He approached closer and closer so he could catch her into his embrace the moment he stabbed her legs and immediately rip those pesky jackets and jeans apart.

 Five meters… Four meters… Three meters… Two meters… One meter…

 And just as he was about to stab her legs, the spear of light disappeared from his hand.

 Wha- Guaaaahhk!!!

 Suddenly, a tremendous force hit the left side of his head, sending him flying before falling back down, skidding the ground.

 “W-What the hell?!”

 He looked towards the girl and saw her in a kicking position with her right leg high in the sky.

 “Y-You bitch!”

 He stood up in a rage and tried to conjure up his spear of light. But nothing appear. His injuries were also not healing. Normally, an injury of this level would’ve healed in a few seconds.

 What is going on-!

 Before he could even think, Aika suddenly appeared before him in a low stance and punched him in the gut.

 “Guhaaakk!”

 The sheer force of the punch lifted him up from the ground and caused his body to bend forward, and before he fell back down, his right arm was suddenly grabbed by a vice grip, and saw his entire world turn around until he saw the sky.

 *Booooom!!*

 Winded, no sound coulde out of his throat as he felt an excruciating pain coarse through his entire body when it was mmed down to the concrete ground.

 The pain wasn’t disappearing and he felt extremely powerless. His natural healing didn’t activate. He couldn''t conjure a light needle from his hand. He couldn’t even let out his wings.

 As he looked up to the sky dazedly, he saw the beautiful girl stand before him. She raised her foot up high into the sky, and mmed it down into his face, turning his world dark.

 Looking at Dohnaseek, the male fallen angel who allied himself with Raynar and attempted to kill Issei, lying unconscious on the cracked concrete ground, Aika let out a deep sigh.

 I… I did it… I did it!!!

 She seeded! She defeated a fallen angel!!! Even though it was thanks to the ne that he couldn’t use any magic, she still manage to defeat him with her tactics and strength!!!

 It was beyond her expectations!

 Truth be told, she didn’t expect him to fly away like a rag doll the moment she kicked him. After all, she never tested her full strength before, so it came as a delightful surprise.

 And after knowing that, she just beat him up until he was incapacitated!

 Pheeeew~ I’m d that went well… I was really scared there for a moment…

 She could actually feel his lustful gaze as he began to approach her. And she was really scared when he was getting real close to her. It took her entire willpower to not show any sign of noticing him until he was in her range.

 Hah… Let’s get out of here before his allies arrive…

 Aika looked at the scene of her battlefield once more and left, quickly heading to her home while still maintaining the effect of her enchanted ne.

 But just as she was about to enter, a notification ring came to her phone.

 Hm? Who could it be? Is it Yuuji?

 She took out her phone as she entered her home and looked at her screen.

 Eh…?

 Her eyes widened in shock as she stood frozen at the entrance of her home.

 —----------------------------------

 A new quest has arrived!

 —----------------------------------

 --------------------------------X--------------------------------

 Yuuji smiled softly as he watch his twin sisters leaning their heads on his shoulder, fast asleep, as they ride the train back home.

 It has been a few years since they’ve gone to a water park or a beach together with Mira and Aika since their figure in a swimsuit would attract too much unwanted attention. So they were quite excited and ended up having quite a lot of fun ying in the water park with Hibiki and Haruna.

 Thankfully, there was no trouble that arose aside from girls hitting on Yuuji at the beginning.

 There were no cliches that Yuuji dreaded like guys trying to hit on his sisters or his seniors since his appearance alone had repelled most of them, while some who pushed their luck and acted recklessly quickly run with their tails between their legs after a single re from him.

 Yuuji was ready to test his [Krav Maga Proficiency], but fortunately, no such men were brave enough to push him to that point.

 Everything went extremely well. However, there were two “events” that, though couldn’t be considered a “problem”, certainly, stood out to them.

 First was the moment when his sisters and Haruka noticed the massive bulge in his pants. It was extremely awkward for him when they froze and stare at it in a daze until Yuuji snapped them out of it. And even then, they couldn''t look at him in the eye for quite a while. It was only until Hibiki helped distract them from it with the various water slides and attractions in the water park that they could look at him in the eyes again.

 But right after, the second “event” urred…

 With the fact that they’re in a water park and Haruka’s insistence for Yuuji to join them y in the water, he inevitably had to take off his hoodie.

 At that moment, Haruka, who was extremely excited when he finally agreed with her request, froze as her eyes were locked on him and his heaven-sculpted muscr body.

 Yuna and Nina, who truthfully had been looking forward to this moment ever since they made a promise to Hibiki and Haruka, were also stunned by the sheer masculine beauty of his body. Although they expected their little brother to have an amazing body from the glimpses they’ve had at home, they were still instantly mesmerized by it.

 Needless to say, even Hibiki couldn’t move her eyes away from him as her cheeks reddened unknowingly.

 And for the rest of the day, the four girls would steal nces at his body when they yed and often get be distracted by it, even after he put his hoodie back on.

 That said, even after those two awkward events happened, they were still able to be much closer than before and had an amazingly fun time together.

 “Yuna… Nina… We’ve almost arrived.”

 Yuuji whispered softly at their ears, trying his best to wake them up gently. But instead of waking up, both of them simply groaned and nestled into his shoulders even more, pressing the side of their breasts against his arms.

 Uggh… T-T-They’re so cute!

 Yuuji fought with an internal dilemma as he watched his sisters sleeping peacefully. On one side, he wanted to keep watching their cute expressions as they slept peacefully. But on the other, they’ll miss their stop soon!

 Yuuji fought long and hard, and before he could make his decision, a voice from the speaker announcing their arrival resounded within the car, awaking Yuna and Nina from their sleep.

 “Mmm… Have we arrived…? Hwaaaah~”

 “That was… the announcement, right…?”

 Yuuji couldn’t help but squeal in his heart as he look at the half-asleep figures of his sisters.

 “Yes. You woke up at the perfect time. Come on, let’s get ready to get off and go home.”

 “Umnn…”

 “Yes…”

 Yuuji stayed on high alert as he led his still groggy sisters back home, ready to protect them in case some random drunk guy tried to approach them.

 But nothing of the sort happened, mostly because of the intense protective aura Yuuji’s emanating, and they all arrived home safely.

 “Mom, Aika-nee. We’re home.”

 “We’re home~!!!”

 “We’re home.”

 “Ara~ Wee home~ You’vee at the perfect time~ I’ve just finished making dinner~”

 Mira popped up from the kitchen in an apron and adle in her hand with a brilliant smile, weing back her beloved children.

 “Really~? Yay~ I’m very hungry~!”

 “Thank you, mom. Then, we’ll get change quickly and head down.”

 “Mm. Yuna,e on.”

 “Uhn~!”

 “Ufufufu~ Okay~”

 Yuna and Nina headed to the stairs to go to their rooms. But just as Yuuji was about to follow after them, his arm was pulled and buried into the heavenly softness that Yuuji was familiar with.

 “Wha-”

 The fragrant, sexy, flowery scent and pheromones of his mother immediately entered his nose as she tiptoed towards his ear.

 “Remember toe to my room after dinner, okay~?”

 The air from her whisper, her soft, sexy voice, and her easily misunderstood words easily stirred his libido to the maximum. Especially since his arm was in between the breasts of his dreams.

 He turned to his mom, his face blushing super redly, and almost had a heart attack after seeing her sexy, bewitching smile and gaze.

 “U-Uhn… I-I wille. S-Should I bring myptop too?”

 “Of course~ Ufufufu~ I want to see your portfolio, after all~”

 “O-Okay.”

 “Good boy~”

 She petted his head softly, released his arm, and turned around, showing her sexy back and big, round hips tightly hugged by her knee-length skirt.

 U-Ughhh… T-That was close… I almost lose control… I guess I’ll be sleepingte again, tonight…

 With plenty of “stimulus” that he had gotten today in the water park and that… teasing his mom did just now, he knew he won’t be able to sleep peacefully if he didn’t take care of it…

 Moreover, they’ll be having a gueste tomorrow, so he can’t be horny during that time…

 Yuuji let out a sigh inwardly as he sneak a few nces at his mother’s swinging hips, and gulped.

 N-No! Bad Yuuji! Get your head out of the gutters!

 He shook his head and dispersed his thoughts of burying his face on that heavenly butt and quickly went up to his room to get change.

 When the three returned down, they all sat down on the dining table just as Mira had finished cing the food on the table. Aika was also already there, though still in her white shirt and pencil skirt, the same clothing Yuuji saw her wear in the cafe.

 “Oh! You’re back. How was it? Did you have fun?”

 “Uhn~! It was very fun~!”

 “Mm. Tsubakihara-senpai is very fun to be with, while Tsukahara-senpai felt like a reliable big sister. We were able to have fun without a worry.”

 “That’s great.”

 Aika then turned towards Yuuji.

 “Did anything happen?”

 From the tone of her voice, Yuuji could guess what she meant.

 “No. No one dared approach Yuna and Nina with me there.”

 “That’s good.”

 Yuuji smiled softly at her adorable aunt. Despite her tough exterior, she was still an adorable cutie after all. She must’ve been worried for Yuna and Nina. With their appearance, it would be stranger if no one approach them. Especially when they’re wearing those swimsuits… Even now, he could still clearly recall their sexy bodies in those swimsuits…

 Thank God for his enhanced memories.

 “Ah! But a lot of girls approached Yuu-kun! There were so many! Yuna and I had a hard time!”

 “Mm. She was surrounded from all sides by women in swimsuits.”

 ““Eh?””

 Both Mira and Aika turned their eyes towards him as Yuna and Nina pouted at him.

 “A-Ahh… Y-Yes, that happened… I’m sorry for the trouble… I had worn my hoodie and I did try to reject them, but they were all relentless. And before I knew it, they’re already surrounding me.”

 Yuuji continued exining the situation to his mom and aunt. He didn’t want them to misunderstand that he was enjoying that moment!

 He felt like a husband having been suspected of cheating by his wife… He swore he didn’t enjoy it for a moment!

 

 “I see… You need to be more careful next time okay, Yuuji-kun?”

 “That’s right… Try your best not to be alone in that kind of ce.”

 “Yes…”

 Yuuji sighed in relief inwardly as they seemed to be satisfied with his exnations.

 After that ordeal, he was able to eat his dinner peacefully as they all chatted about their day.

 Upon finishing dinner, Aika immediately went upstairs to take a bath and change, while Yuna and Nina went to help Mira to wash the dishes.

 Yuuji went up to his room and quickly turned on hisptop. He just had a feeling and urge to close his cements and immediately checked it.

 And as he expected, the stocks he bought were at his highest right now. Without hesitation, Yuuji sold all of them, and after all the tax deductions and broker fees, he had gained more than $2000 in profits once again.

 Nice! That went very well, and just in time too.

 He checked his bnce, and after a week, he had turned the 10,000 yen his mother gave him as seed money into $5,000 or more than 500,000 yen.

 Compared to the price of the stocks he owned in iApple and the dividend he’ll receive in a few weeks, it was a measly number. But it was still an incredible amount, especially since he was still a freshman in high school!

 Moreover, this was still something that he earned himself with his own effort! Even though his [Investment Proficiency] helped him greatly, in the end, he was the one who made the decision on what stocks to buy, when to buy it, and when to sell.

 It was undoubtedly an impressive achievement, and Yuuji couldn’t help but smile. But not because he had just gotten an impressive amount of money.

 This $5000 was the proof that he now had the ability to provide for and take care of his beloved family. And he won’t stop with this either. He’ll definitely pamper his mom, aunt, and sisters with everything this world had to offer!

 Alright. Now let’s wait until mom’s ready.

 A few minutester, as he sat at his desk and chatting with Tatsuya and Satou in the group chat, a knock came on his door.

 “Are you ready, Yuuji-kun~?”

 “Ah, yes I’m ready, mom.”

 “Okay~ Thene to my room now, okay~”

 “Yes.”

 Yuuji quickly grabbed hisptop and told his friends he’ll be afk for a while, and headed to his mother’s room.

 Arriving in front of Mira’s room, Yuuji knocked on the door.

 “Mom. It’s me.”

 “Ah,e in~”

 “Mm. Excuse me.”

 Yuuji opened the door, entered his mother’s room, and saw his mom sitting behind the desk beside her bed.

 Unlike her study, it was a fairly simple and neat room with a huge bed, a big two-door dresser, a desk, and an office chair. There were plenty of family pictures hanging by the wall or pinned to a foam board that she ced on the wall right above her desk.

 Yuuji unconsciously breathed in deeply, inhaling the flowery fragrance in the air of her mother’s room.

 He felt very nervous for some reason… It’s as if he’s entering his crush’s room for the first time!

 Well, that in itself was urate, but it was still his stepmother’s room!

 “Okay~ Then, can I see your portfolio~?”

 “Ah, yes. Here it is.”

 Yuuji turned on hisptop and opened his stock trading application. Then he navigated it to his trading history and portfolio and ced it on his mother’s desk for her to see.

 “Eh…?”

 Immediately, Mira’s eyes turned wide like saucers the moment she saw the numbers.

 “T-This is…”

 He didn’t only double the seed money she gave him. He turned the 10,000 yen she gave him into more than 500,000 yen. All in one week!

 Mira immediately looked at his transaction history and portfolio and turned even more speechless.

 His first trade… was Spot gold trading with the London Gold contract with 100:1 leverage!!! Normally, even using even 10% of your money with 100:1 leverage for a single trade was already beyond reckless. And he used all of the seed money she gave her! It was extremely reckless!!!

 But then… the return he gained was also extremely unbelievable…

 He had won the gamble… No, he had hit the jackpot with this trade!

 But even so, Mira still wanted to reprimand him for doing such a reckless trade. Even though he won it and gained far more than twice his capital, it was still an extremely reckless behavior and a worse habit to have.

 But as she continued to look at his other trades, doubt began to arise in her mind.

 Was that first trade… a calcted one?

 When she saw that first trade, it was undoubtedly a reckless trade that a reckless amateur would do. But now that she saw the rest of his trades, that first trade seemed like one he made after calcting and observing the gold market in depth.

 The positions he opened, the amount he put in, his timing, everything was done as if an extremely experienced and knowledgeable trader was doing it. And an extremely lucky one as well.

 The profit he got from those trades was all equivalent to hitting the jackpot over and over again.

 It was as if he could see… the future.

 Mira stared at his portfolio for a while in disbelief before she turned to her son.

 Her beloved son, Yuuji… Ever since a week ago, had surprised her over and over. First with his looks, then with his knowledge in trading, then with his unbelievable talent in it.

 She had been observing him closely ever since he became her stepson.

 She knew how much he loves her as a woman. She knew how Yuuji sees her little sister and daughters as well. She also knew that he’d fantasize about them and call their names every time he “relieved” himself the moment he hit puberty. And she knew that Yuuji, despite being an extremely sweet, kind, gentle, and steadfast bearing, was only slightly above mediocre.

 Despite his shorings, she still loved him as a son and a man.

 But now… She didn’t know if she knew everything about him anymore…

 Did he just find out about it as well? Or perhaps… Did de hide his talent? No, her Yuuji wouldn’t do such a thing. But if it was the former… then what sort of talents would he have sleeping deep within him?

 She felt like there was a distance now between her and her beloved Yuuji from this revtion… And she didn’t like it.

 “I-I didn’t know you were so talented in this… Yuuji-kun.”

 Yuuji’s face immediately paled as cold sweat started pouring down his back. It wasn’t the fact that his mother was taken aback by his results. He knew what he had done was beyond unbelievable.

 But what made him react this way was the distance he felt from her voice. Her voice was usually filled with love and affection, but now… it felt slightly cold.

 “I-I’m sorry…”

 In the state of shock, those two words were the only things that could escape his lips.

 Mira panicked the moment she saw his expression and immediately brought him into her embrace, holding his head into her breasts tightly.

 “No! I didn’t mean it that way! I-I’m very sorry…”

 Yuuji widened his eyes in surprise from her embrace and froze the moment he heard her words.

 The warmth in her voice… It returned… But now, there was pain apanied by it.

 “I… I was extremely surprised at your talent… I never knew you were this skilled.”

 Mira continued to stroke his head softly, kissing it on every pause, as she continued to hug him.

 “I thought I was watching my cute little baby boy quite closely, but it seems I still hadn’t seen you for everything that you are. I’m sorry…”

 “No! Please don’t apologize!”

 Yuuji grabbed her shoulders and pulled away from her embrace before locking her eyes with her.

 “I-I also didn’t know I had this in me. I was just… trying to see if I could support my loved ones and give all of you happiness. I was inspired by you… And fortunately, it seems like I have quite a knack for it.”

 His voice softened as he gazed at her with a soft, loving smile, causing a blush to appear on her cheeks and her heart to skip a beat.

 Ah… He’s still my Yuuji-kun after all… He’s still the man I helplessly fall in love with…

 She finally realized it. No matter how many new things she found out about him, he was still her beloved Yuuji in the end. She felt a bit foolish now for thinking that there was a distance created between them…

 Her shocked expression slowly turned into a gentle, loving smile as she began to caress his cheek with her hand.

 “I see. Ufufufu~ I’m very happy~ Then, I will be counting on you in the future, okay~”

 “Of course. I will definitely make you happy, mom.”

 “Yes yes~”

 After gazing into each other’s eyes for a while in silence, Mira let Yuuji go and told him he was free to continue with what he was doing as long as he didn’t go overboard.

 And after Yuuji assured her that he’ll stop being this reckless and begin investing his money in high yield saving ounts, various stocks ofpanies he knows will skyrocket, and other safe investments, he returned to his room after Mira gave him a good night’s kiss on his cheeks.

 When he finally left, Mira couldn’t help but feel like all the strength in her body had dissipated into the air.

 She plopped down on her bed and let out a deep sigh. The emotional whishes she had experienced in just that couple of minutes really took a toll on her…

 She picked up the phone thaty slightly beside her on the bed, unlocked it, and stared at the wallpaper for a while.

 It was the picture of their family of five taken eleven years ago… The day he became her family.

 “Hah… Time went by so quickly. My cute little boy has be such an amazing man before I knew it…”

 Mira reminisced the time when Yuuji was little. The way he yed around with his sisters, charming each and every girl that he came across, and how he’d always say he’ll marry her, his aunt, and his sisters when he grew up.

 And now, he had be such an amazing man beyond her expectations. Mira closed her eyes with a wide smile. His voice saying how he’ll make his loved ones happy repeated over and over in her mind.

 “Ah… How can he make me fall for him even more~”

 --------------------------------X--------------------------------

 Upon returning to his room, Yuuji ced hisptop on the table and immediately slumped down on his bed.

 His face was burning and his heart was beating out of control! He couldn’t believe he said all that with a straight face!

 But… But what could he do…? It was his honest feelings. He truly loved Mira so utterly andpletely, so when she said such things, those words simply flow out of him naturally.

 Hah… I don’t think I could hold it in anymore…

 Should he confess to her soon?

 Now that he has the ability to take care of his family and the power to protect them, Yuuji was confident that he’d be able to make her happy.

 Should I perhaps invite her on a date…? Or maybe a dinner…?

 Yuuji’s face ckened into a grin as he began fantasizing about his date with his mother. Going around town and having fun, then going for dinner together in a five-star, high-end restaurant, and then ending it in a five-star hotel suite for a night full of passion…

 How wonderful would that be?! It would literally be a dreame true!!!!!

 S-Should I invite her now…?

 Yuuji pondered for a moment and hesitated. Would this be too soon…? Should he perhaps romance her a bit more before going for it?

 He really didn’t know how to approach this matter!

 Just then, a notification sound came from his phone, grabbing his attention.

 “Hm? A notification…? It’s not a message…

 —----------------------------------

 A new quest has arrived!

 —----------------------------------

 “Eh…?”

 A new quest… It was the first-ever quest they’ve ever received…

 Upon clicking on the notification, he was redirected to the Quest tab of the application with details of the quest.

 Right after he read through it, messages beganing into the group chat.

 Lelouch Lamperouge: “Oh, so the first mission will be in Tatsuya’s world, huh?”

 Suzuki Satoru: “Tatsuya-kun’s world is the one with a magic born from science, right?”

 Shiba Tatsuya: “Yes. And these missions…”

 Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Mm, it seems like we’ll mainly be involved in the events that happened ording to the “story” in your world.”

 Shiba Tatsuya: “Mm… If nothing changes from the “story”, then I believe there wouldn’t be much problem, considering we already knew what will happen.”

 Kiryuu Aika: “Ooooh~! So we’ll be going to Tatsuya’s world huh~? I’m so excited~!!!”

 Lelouch Lamperouge: “Not all of us will go. There is a limit in the number of participants in each mission, and the limit this time is two.”

 Shiba Tatsuya: “Yes. I will be able to participate regardless since the mission takes ce in my world, but we will need to select two out of the four of you to participate in the mission.”

 Suzuki Satoru: “Uhm… I’m fine with not participating.”

 Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Eh? Why would that be, Satoru-san? Isn’t this a rare opportunity?”

 Suzuki Satoru: “Well uhm… I-I’m still focusing on grinding in Yggdrasil and strengthening Nazarick, so you guys can go.”

 Lelouch Lamperouge: “I won’t be going as well.”

 Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Eh?! Lelouch too?!”

 Lelouch Lamperouge: “I am very busy with the recent establishment of the ck Knights and I would like to focus all my attention there.”

 Tsubakihara Yuuji: “I see… Then I will be happy to take on this mission. I’m also very excited to go and visit Tatsuya’s world.”

 Kiryuu Aika: “Yaaay~!!! I’ve always wanted to join that nine schools’petition too!!! It looks like fun~!!!”

 Shiba Tatsuya: “Very well. I will do my best to assist you during your stay here.”

 Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Mm. Thank you, Tatsuya. Then when should we go? Are you ready, Aika?”

 Kiryuu Aika: “Ah! Wait a minute! I’ll go pack up!!!”

 Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Oh right… I guess I’ll pack up too then.”
