Chapter 378: Yakuza Dad
It was time for the trip, so I arrived at Miyu's school early to introduce myself to the school principal and teachers.
For the trip I have to use Seiji's identity since I am Miyu's adoptive father. This means I'm an adult now and can't hit brats when they're a nuisance.
Umaru, Nyaruko, Aotian, the female Servants, and the women from the chat room will also come with us, but they will travel on a separate bus and pretend they are a group of tourists.
I can't leave my city unprotected, so I left the Anti-Spiral in the city to prevent the invasion of enemy entities.
I also brought the angeloids and goddesses as my bad feeling only keeps growing and I need to be prepared for the unpredictable. Goddesses used to be in my personal World, so I brought them to help me, but they mentioned that my daughters prepared a surprise for me... I have a bad feeling.
(Author's Note: The angeloids are Sora no Otoshimono's waifus, also, the women who rescued Luis in China also became angeloids)
(Author's Note: The goddesses are the waifus of Hololive and some goddesses of the isekai world)
Just in case, I also brought Arcueid. Objectively, she is not as strong as an Outer God, but her direct connection to the Laws of the World and her skill to devour the Madness make her one of the strongest entities within Gaia.
(Author's Note: Arcueid Brunestud of Tsukihime)
When she can regain her full strength, she'll be able to fight almost on par with Abby, though that's only within Gaia.
Arcueid already knows that I am an Outer God plus she recognized BB and Abby since she fought the blonde little girl. In fact, Arcueid technically forced Abby out of Gaia, but the pancake-addicted girl isn't resentful since she only left because she got bored.
Arcueid was very upset about this, but she agreed to help me since I am the best hope to protect this World, besides, I have already placed millions of Contracts in her soul, so she can't betray me, attack my wives or reveal my secrets.
Something that increases my worries is that I have been trying to contact Shiki, but she does not respond. I can't even get into the berry garden where Mumei is.
My only relief is that the security measures I put around Mumei haven't been activated, so they're safe, but I have a theory that something dangerous happened, so Shiki closed all access to the Core of this World.
I tried to get information from Seraph and Leylin, but they haven't seen any suspicious movements in Paradise and the Seekers of Truth.
That can only mean that the invasion will be by Hell or Free Agents. It's even possible that both organizations are working together, especially since Free Agents are mercenaries who work for any group that offers enough resources...
This is annoying.
The worst thing is that I don't even know where the invasion will come from, but one thing for sure is that Miyu is the key to the invasion.
Paranoia has already analyzed Miyu and found that my daughter is a catalyst to modify the Laws of Gaia and thus create a miracle.
For comparison, Miyu is something like a genie inside a lamp that can be made a wish, however, Miyu's soul is the fuel necessary to fulfill that wish.
As if that wasn't already a headache, Miyu's connection to the Laws makes it impossible to take her out of this World. If I take Miyu to another World or put her in a barrier that separates her from the World, then the barrier that protects Gaia will be broken, Miyu will die, and foreign entities can invade us...
To make matters worse, Miyu isn't the only problem. She's one of three shards that make up a ritual to reshape the World, so there are two other shards I need to find before someone does something stupid.
The problem is that I can't detect the remaining shards due to some weird setup in the ritual. The only person who can find the shards is Miyu as she will feel a special connection to the shards.
All this shit looks like it was set up by the original Gaia, but I don't know what her purpose of it was.
I have a theory that this ritual was designed so that Gaia could be resurrected if she lost the war against Alaya, but it's also possible that the ritual is to destroy humanity in one last desperate attack.
Regardless of the situation, Miyu is now a treasure that someone wishes to capture.
For now I just need to stay with Miyu at all times and protect her from any danger.
I've already had Abby place multiple dimensional anchors on my daughter, that way there won't be a repeat of the horrible situation where Umaru was kidnapped.
Fuck. No matter how many countermeasures I am preparing, I feel like nothing is enough and it causes me a migraine...
Being paranoid is problematic...
I sighed internally and smiled friendly at the brat in front of me. – "Nice to meet you, I am Ichijo Seiji, Miyu's father"
I have already spoken with the principal and obtained permission for one of the tutors in charge of accompanying the little girls during the trip to another city.
It's objectively dangerous to allow a notorious mobster to travel with a group of elementary school girls, but Ichijo family contacts made it easy for me to get permission, plus the principal is not a man of unbreakable will and seems frightened that I might murder him.
Something that seems stupid and worrying to me is that for this trip the girls will be cared for by two teachers and two assistants who are not even part of the school staff.
I know Japan is publicly one of the safest countries in the world, but this place is full of pedophilic perverts, so the lack of care on the part of the school bothers me.
Later I will have a talk with the principal, I cannot let my daughter be in an unsafe environment...
Anyway, now I have to introduce myself to the teacher in charge of supervising the basketball club.
On the one hand, I am reassured by the fact that the adviser for the women's basketball team is a woman with no lesbian tendencies, but on the other hand, I am concerned by the fact that her appearance is no different from that of her students.
"Nice to meet you Ichijo-san" – A purple-haired brat greeted me with superficial courtesy. – "I am Takamura Mihoshi, the advisor of the basketball team, I appreciate that you accompany us to take care of the girls"
(Author's Note: Mihoshi Takamura from Ro-Kyu-Bu!)
"Pfffffff ahahahahahahahahahahaha the author didn't forget to feed the lolimancer! You're one hungry dog so now you can fill up on an all you can eat loli buffet hahahaha!" – Navi was laughing in my mind.
"Hmph, Abby is cuter" – Abby pouted.
"Yes, Abby is the best" – I answered internally so that the brat would stop getting angry.
Turning my attention to Mihoshi, I showed curiosity as my gaze drifted to a woman and a boy who were talking to the group of girls who were getting on the school bus. – "I spoke with the principal and he mentioned that Mihoshi-san brought two people as assistants"
"That's right, I brought my sister and my nephew to help us" – Mihoshi smiled as if she had done something impressive. – "My sister is very attentive so that the girls do not get into trouble and my nephew is a basketball prodigy, so he is my assistant"
Mihoshi looks like an elementary school brat even though she's over 25, but her sister looks like a mature woman. Sure, she looks young for her age, but she has all the charm of a married milf.
"Oh, another poor man will become a cuck" – Laplus smiled wryly inside my mind.
"I'm here to take care of Miyu, not to play" – I sighed internally.
"That has never stopped you, you fucking pervert" – Yoko snorted with disdain.
"It's true that I'm a pervert, but you were the one who moaned asking for more" – I smiled internally.
"... Fool!" – Yoko yelled with a flushed face.
I looked at the mother and son pair.
I can see that the boy has threads of fate connecting him with the girls in the basketball club, so he is the protagonist of 'Ro-Kyu-Bu!' and the girls are the heroines of him...
"... Bite?..." – Ortro felt my annoyance and wanted to chew the boy's head.
"Maybe later, for now I want Miyu to have fun with her new friends" – I answered to calm down the adorable girl.
Despite all the inconvenience, I felt like smiling as Miyu chatted friendly with girls her age.
Miyu was raised to be a sacrificial tool, and although she learned to read and feel emotions with the help of her first adoptive family, she still has a very low emotional intelligence.
Miyu saw me and raised her hand to greet me, so I also raised my hand to greet her while smiling unconsciously. Her expressionless face is adorable when she can smile.
The girls around her also greeted me and began to talk to Miyu.
They asked her if I'm her older brother to which Miyu shook her head.
Seiji is 21 years old, so it would be more normal to think that I'm Miyu's older brother, but my daughter couldn't explain it since a blonde girl said that I must surely be Miyu's boyfriend.
The girl was only joking, but Miyu blushed and couldn't speak...
Damn it Arisa!
I will punish that brat when the trip is over.
Arisa and the psycho little girls stayed at the school since this trip is only for the girls' basketball club members.
The little girls seemed excited by the drama, so they quickly took Miyu to the bus and started talking to her to find out more about me.
Worst of all, I can feel my title [Lolimancer] starting to take effect, plus my plot armor has already absorbed the protagonist's plot armor...
"Hey Listen! The lolis won't be able to win the match since it's dangerous for a pregnant loli to exercise hahahaha!"
...Fucking bastard...
Whatever.
Fortunately, the teachers didn't listen to the girls' stupidity, so I was able to get on the bus without any problems.
Mihoshi introduced me to the other people in charge of taking care of the girls.
The boy was irrelevant and I didn't even pay attention to his name, the only thing worthwhile about him is his mother.
[Ciel: I couldn't detect it. I take all the blame]
"Do not worry, I'm not mad at you" – I sighed internally. – "Now concentrate on gathering all the information possible, but do it discreetly, we cannot let the enemies know that I can decipher the records that surround us"
Ciel and Paranoia nodded and started working, though Paranoia is now depressed.
I'm not really angry or disappointed, I'm actually grateful.
This is the first time I've seen a barrier with such impressive cloaking capabilities. The concealment level of this thing is almost comparable to [Mythomania].
Despite the barrier, Paranoia was able to warn me about the dangers in time, so I'm not defenseless. That is already very good.
Now is the time to do a problem analysis.
I can't contact Paradise for help to begin with, but I can use [Auriel's Love] to make Auriel feel my emotions.
[System Notification: The skill 'Mythomania' has been activated to create anguish and worry in the user's heart]
[System Notification: The skill 'Auriel's Love' has been activated to make the entity Auriel feel the user's emotions]
This skill only emits feelings and not thoughts, but Auriel is smart and will know that something bad is happening on Gaia when she notices that she can't contact me, so she will start looking for a way to send reinforcements.
The Vatican has some ties to Paradise, so there's a chance they'll open a Dimensional Gate to accept the reinforcements.
It will be necessary for Shiki to allow the dimensional connection. Normally that wouldn't be possible for fear of a foreign invasion, but Shiki must already know that something bad is going on and that's why he closed the Core of this World .
On the other hand, I can't contact Leylin to force him to send me reinforcements, but that doesn't matter, anyway, I can't let other people know that the magus is my tool.
Anti-Spiral stayed in the city where I live, but he is very sensitive to any disturbance in the functioning of a World, so he will be able to notice that something bad is going on and it is possible that he will come if I can cause a lot of noise when a battle happens.
Something important is that the entities that observe me seem to have recognized me as the Hero of Harmony, which is normal since my body now continuously emits the authority of Auriel.
With [Mythomania] I can hide this power, but until now I let it flow so that the supernatural entities on Gaia know not to trouble me.
Something important about Auriel's blessing is different from the blessings of the supposedly just deities, since those entities judge others by a personal standard of values, but this power is not harmful to beings with natures focused on Negative Karma.
This blessing can also give hope to demons and ghosts, so those beings won't see me as an enemy as long as our interests don't conflict.
Now, the fact that most of the Higher Entities view me with hostility and fear can only mean that their interests go against Auriel's ideals.
Throughout the multiverse, there are many people who hate Paradise, but very few people hate Auriel. She even has good relations with Hell entities and cultivators.
Despite this, there is a group that hates Auriel to the death since she has fought many times to stop the plans of that group of idiots...
[Paranoia: Based on the energy samples, it has been calculated that there is a 95% chance that the enemies are demons from Hell. There is an 85% chance that enemies are members of the Riders of Chaos]
Ah great, it's the psycho assholes... This is a fucking shit.
I opened a mental link with my wives and Umaru. – "Listen, from now on you must pretend that we haven't noticed the enemies, for now you can play and relax, but you must always stay in a group..."
I started giving instructions based on plan K.
One good thing about being a paranoid psycho is that even this kind of shit was expected.
I made plans in case the Riders of Chaos wanted to invade Gaia, though I still need to keep my guard up since I can't show my full strength or things will only get worse.
"Then the plan is simple nom nom... We just have to enjoy the ride while you seducing lolis, then we have to hide our true power while beating up the idiots when they appears, and finally we have to close the Dimensional Gate when the nom nom nom invasion happens" – Nyaruko spoke while eating sushi, though it's telepathic chatter and she doesn't need to make chewing sounds.
"Ignoring the part about seducing brats, yes, that's the summary" – I sighed.
"Um, Luis, I know you're not the nicest person, but..." – Medaka spoke awkwardly.
I sighed. – "If someone wants to protect innocent people there is no problem, they can do it, but first you must prioritize your own lives"
"Sounds good to me" – Mirko replied without much interest.
She won't let innocent people get killed, but she also understands that a battle between Higher Entities is something much bigger than what she can handle, so she's not too excited.
Well, the Riders of Chaos will surely send low-level beings to cause chaos, so she and the other women can have a little fun. The women in the chat room are comparable to the disposable soldiers of Paradise, which is enough for them to help the citizens escape.
The real problem will be the anomalies.
Initially, the hole in the barrier isn't enough for high-level entities to invade, so a demon general with the strength of a Primarch won't spawn, but there are always dangerous exceptions.
An example of an anomaly is the cute angel Kanata Amane.
(Author's Note: Kanata Amane from Hololive)
She is a Higher Entity from Paradise with the physical strength to crush a planet with her tiny fists.
Higher Entities cannot normally access a World due to the restrictions placed by the Will of the World, and the stronger the entity, the stronger the restrictions.
For this reason, large organizations often send armies or squads with mortal entities. Beings that have not ascended can move more easily, although they are also more likely to die fighting with the natives.
It is in these kinds of circumstances that an anomaly like Kanata becomes valuable.
Not all anomalies are strong and often die quickly as worthless worms, but on some occasions, anomalies are apolitical monsters.
Kanata cannot use any kind of special energy or conceptual skill and that is why the Wills of the Worlds see her as a simple rock that fell into the World by mistake, however, she not only has monstrous strength, but her body is also extremely resistant against special energys.
Basically, Kanata is living proof that brute force can crush magic.
If the Riders of Chaos have entities like Kanata then things can get dangerous...
The most troublesome thing is that I will only be able to use my Hero skills or the multiverse will know that I am a system user and an Outer God.
The fact of being a system user is not so bad, but if someone really tries to analyze my system in depth to find out my skills, then it will inevitably discover my [Reader's Madness].
[Mythomania] is one of the best stealth and camouflage skills in the multiverse, but I'm a pessimist and I know that at some point something will go wrong.
The biggest weakness of lies is that sooner or later the truth will come out. It doesn't matter if I'm the best liar in the multiverse, there are thousands of highly intelligent people who have lived for countless centuries, so they will be able to piece together the little clues until they complete the puzzle.
I don't think I'm capable of fooling the entire multiverse as I can accept that there are people smarter than me, so I always try to be careful, although my wives sometimes make that difficult.
Oh well, life would be boring without a problem.
For the moment I pretended not to notice the barrier covering the city or the entities watching me.
It was all hidden with high level stealth skills and showing that I can see it will let others know that my analysis skill is one of the best in the multiverse.
For now I will follow the game of those idiots ...
Anyway.... Now I know who wants to hurt my daughter...........
"We arrived" - Nayu smiled when we arrived in front of the hotel where we will stay.
We got off the bus while each girl carried her backpack to go to the hotel reception.
Everything should be normal, but the damn brats looked at me expectantly.
"Papa-san, can you help me with my suitcase?" – A runny blonde looked with the eyes of an abandoned puppy.
"Father..." – Miyu is trying to copy that look, but her expressionlessness makes it difficult for her.
"We want to try Papa-san's food..."
"We want to see Papa-san's basketball abilities..."
"Papa-san..."
.....
"Hey Listen! The bunnies can't wait for the night to be eaten by the dog hahaha!"
Fuck, I focused too much on the dangers and didn't stop Miyu when she started bragging about how cool her father is...
Now I'm surrounded by noisy brats. Shit...
"Ara ara, Seiji-kun is a loving father" – Nayu looked at me tenderly.
"I didn't think Seiji-kun would be so cute" – Kaori also looked at me tenderly.
My fatherly side is seducing these milfs...
The Buddhist teachings were not wrong, life is a balance between headache and benefits.
How complicated...
