Chapter 14: Time skip

(Ryoto's pov)

I see, so that's what happened. I nodded my head a few times with my arms crossed. All around me could see a gentle smile on my face. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Ryoto: "Skipper, you are getting a shot."

Skipper: "WHAT!!!? Y-you can't do this! I'm extremely healthy! Never in my life, I was sick!"

Ryoto: "And we don't want to change it, so you are going to be vaccinated."

I walked up to him and tried to put my hand on his shoulder, but his body was too small for that. It looked a little awkward. And as I was close to him so only he could hear my voice, I whispered.

Ryoto: "You're lucky this is another universe because otherwise, I would send you to Danmark in a package and a pink ribbon for decoration. And it's not because you wanted to discover my secrets. To be honest, I respect not trusting from the start. It's smart, but you could endanger Mikan in all these explosions. If that would happen, I can promise you that even with your trypanophobia, you would beg for injections just to escape what I'd do."

I opened my eyes slightly to make my point.

After my words, Skipper fell silent.

Now that I know what happened, what should we do about the house? It's still standing, which is good, but it's in a total mess. I should probably do something about it.

Ryoto: "I'm going to sleep."

Rito looked at me with disbelief as I was leaving Mikan's room.

On to someone who isn't me, Rito tried to confess to Haruna two more times, but both times he failed. The first time was in the classroom, but at that time, I was messing with my web-shooters and accidentally shot at Rito's face. Sorry Rito, but it seems your big brother brings you misfortune.

The second time was truly unfortunate, and I didn't even have anything to do with it. Lala and Kowalski teamed up to build a machine. What kind of machine? They didn't know either. Both of them wanted to make something different, but they thought they were on the same page, so the device obviously didn't work as intended, and Rito was a victim of it. He was run over by a fish. Yes, RUN over by a FISH.

Skipper started calling me boss, which was strange. I thought his fragile ego wouldn't allow him to call someone else a boss, but here we are. I felt like he was planning something, so I kept my eye on him.

I also completed a few quests, earning me a whopping 6969 SP, which is nice. I got one skill from these quests: the 'Desire exhibition'. It's one of Lucifer Morningstar's abilities that he frequently used in the 'Lucifer' series. It allows me to draw a hidden desire from anyone I want. I just need to say one phrase. I could also turn up the intensity to draw out more things.

I hardly interact with people in the class. I'm not ostracized, but I don't with anyone if I don't need to. On the other hand, Lala was almost always surrounded by people and friends. I'm glad for her, experiencing the things she couldn't before, but because of it, I was dragged into dealing with my classmates more than I would like to.

Momioka Risa and I become friends at some point. She wanted to tease me, but I'm tease proof, but she didn't give up and became a game between us where she tried to get a reaction out of me, and I teased her back with more success.

I didn't have any meaningful progress with Lala. We kiss sometimes, take a bath together, and sometimes Mikan joins us, sleep in the same bed. We didn't cross the line just yet, but I feel it can happen any minute. Maybe I should 'hide' some dirty magazines for Lala to find it. It's thought for another day.

I also discussed a few things with Karen. I found out how the system works at last. Karen chooses the quest from the almost she gets. She doesn't create them or decide punishments. She just accepts quests without my approval. She said that I got fortunate with rewards as abilities are very rare, so I shouldn't get accustomed to it unless I complete the more problematic quest.

Tomorrow is a school trip that was almost canceled, but thanks to Lala and her screaming at the typhoon, we can experience it. I hope it will go well.
