Chapter 175: My thumb is throbbing

"Do you have a plan after this?"

Being told to eat breakfast, Isao cooked breakfast in the place of the machine. Unlike before, he knew that all the foods he cooked had a special effect on boosting someone's status, whether it was their physical ability, spiritual, or magic.

Moreover, his food also tasted more delicious.

If there was a reason for this, Isao could only say that it was all due to Mukoda's DNA, which also gave him the ability to shop online and a better talent for cooking. Well, there was also the DNA of Demeter and Hestia, who were the goddesses of food and hearth, respectively, making him even better at cooking.

True, this unique ability didn't grant him direct offensive power, but it helped him much, particularly during his frequent trips into uncharted worlds.

Still, when Miyuki saw her mother eat Isao's food without leaving anything, she smiled, thinking that her mother had become much healthier after Isao came.

'Is it also due to Demeter's DNA?'

As the goddess of good, Isao thought that Demeter's DNA also further increased his talent for cooking food.

"I have never thought that a food cooked by hand tasted so much different..." Tatsuya murmured. Frankly, he wasn't so picky with his food since, in his mind, food was nothing but fuel to move his body. As long as it could fill him, he was okay with anything, yet the food cooked by Isao was different. It made his body stronger, and this warmth made him comfortable somehow.

"If you open a restaurant, it will be a great hit, Iinuma-san," Honami said while wiping her thin, wet lips.

"Opening a restaurant is troublesome, though." Isao looked at them, then asked, "So, do you want to practice, or do you have a plan after this?"

"What do you think?" Miya didn't answer and asked Isao's opinion.

"It's a rare time for you to visit Okinawa, after all. You should enjoy this trip more."

"Is that so?" Yet, watching his calm expression as if nothing had happened between them, Miya felt slight resentment within her heart.

"You don't have to worry. I am a master at having fun."

'Including sleeping with the mother of your student?' Miya rolled her eyes, feeling helpless, wondering why she was swayed by his seduction.

"Do you have a request or something?" Isao asked.

Still, no one could answer his question, and they all looked at Miya, the master of the house.

"A place that isn't hot," Miya said after a moment of thought.

"I think that you should visit Hokkaido instead of Okinawa."

"If you say it that way... it seems you are right."

At this moment, Miya also wondered why she visited Okinawa in the summer when the summer in Hokkaido seemed to be more comfortable. Moreover, considering her weak body, an activity that didn't take much of a toll on her body was also important.

Yet, somehow, after she was being held by him, her body seemed to be a little stronger.

Miya wondered why, though.

"How about the sea? Can you sail on a boat?"

"...you sure ask a weird question." Isao looked at Miya weirdly and asked, "Do you think that I am a sailor or something?"

"So, can you sail or not?"

"...I can, though."

Isao didn't lie since he believed that he could sail on the ship even though in 2092, the ship might be quite advanced, but then again, as long as he touched the captain of the ship, everything would be okay.

"Okay, let's go to the sea." Miya made up her plan decisively, then looked at the three. "You three, go and prepare yourselves."

"Yes, Mother." 2x

"Yes, Madam."

Unlike before, Tatsuya was no longer calling Miya "madam" but "mother."

Was it good?

Tatsuya hardly had any emotions, so Isao could tell that Tatsuya was probably confused by his new feelings at that moment, but Isao was sure that this wasn't something bad.

If Isao had to say, it was like how blind people would have their other senses to become sharper and adapt to their situation. Even if Tatsuya lost his feelings due to an experiment done by her mother and aunt, his body should have adapted and tried to learn the new feeling he felt in a different way.

Still watching the three prepare themselves and leave the room, Miya sighed in relief, thinking that it was a chance for her to talk with Isao, but suddenly, she was hugged by someone from behind. Even if she didn't see who the person who hugged her was, she could tell who this person was.

"What are you doing?"

Her red eyes stared dangerously at Isao, who dared to do something so shameful in such a dangerous situation.

"Sorry, I just can't help it. I miss you."

Tatsuya only showed a soft smile at Isao's words.

However, along their trip, Miya brought Isao many clothes, or rather, along with Tatsuya, the group of three females, telling the two to put on various clothes and wear them as if they were doll dresses.

"Okaa-sama, how about this one?"

"Hmm... that one isn't bad at all."

"Madam, this one is also good!"

"You are right." Miya nodded, then looked at Isao and Tatsuya. "Isao-san, Tatsuya, go and change into those clothes."

While Tatsuya was helpless, he was glad he wasn't the only one.

"...Sensei."

Somehow, being ignored and treated as a servant was easier than being told to wear various clothes by his mother, little sister, and Honami, Tatsuya thought. Still, hopefully, his teacher could do something about this situation.

"Be patient, Tatsuya. They are creatures known as women. You can't use logic on them."

"...then, what should I do?"

If so, what should he do?

"Just be patient. Sooner or later, they will be satisfied, and we can go back."

Unfortunately, the energy of Miya, Miyuki, and Honami was greater than the two thought.

Isao and Tatsuya looked at each other before they let out a helpless sigh. Fortunately, they decided to have lunch and fill their energy after a long, arduous torment caused by the three women.

Nevertheless, Isao quickly told them to change their destination to something other than the shopping mall, which Tatsuya agreed to.

Miya, Miyuki, and Honami agreed, so after that, the group of five visited various places in Okinawa, from historical monuments to the beauty of nature to taking a photo and tasting the local foods.

While the food might not be healthy, hygienic, or wasn't as delicious as Isao cooked, somehow, they wanted to try it, especially when they saw Isao kept tasting various foods.

Naturally, all of them were bought by Miya, who was a wealthy woman.

At this moment, Isao realized that even if he didn't have money, just by relying on his handsome face, he could live well. However, his pride as a man didn't allow him to become a gigolo (forgetting that he used his body to repay his debt to Hephaestus), so he thought of doing business in this world, but let's do it later.

Still, they soon went to the sea, borrowing the yacht and letting Isao control it.

As expected, he could control the yacht well, and everyone seemed to enjoy the trip.

"I thought you were lying," Miya said with a smile, looking at Isao, who controlled the yacht.

"I am not." Isao shook his head and said, "My number one virtue is that I never lie."

"..."

Miya rolled her eyes but then watched her children, who were outside, and after confirming that everything was okay, she leaned on his shoulder.

"Miya?" Isao was surprised by her bold action.

Miya didn't say anything, only put her hand against his pants, rubbing it softly.

"...don't play around."

"This is my revenge." Miya showed a sweet smile, put her chin against his shoulder as she blew hot air, and whispered, "Don't play around with a housewife, boy~!"

"..."

Isao was in silence, turned to face Miya, who looked at him with a mischievous smile, but suddenly he felt his thumb throbbing. This wasn't the first time his thumb felt like this.

Or rather, after he got Finn Deimne's DNA, he could tell whether he would encounter something bad or not through his throbbing thumb.

"Hmm?"

Isao frowned, then quickly changed the direction of the yacht.

"What's wrong?"

Miya was startled by the sudden change of course of the yacht, and the others quickly entered the control room, asking what had happened.

"I just feel something bad. Let's go back to the port."

While they wondered how Isao could tell that something bad might happen, they decided to believe in him.

Still, when they returned to the villa, they understood why Isao said that something might happen to them, especially at night when Captain Kazama Harunobu from the Japanese Self-Defense Force came to visit.
