(Jugemu's pov)

I was currently working a part-time job to earn extra money. I was working in a so-called 'supermarket' as a cashier. The boss lady hired me on the spot, which I'm grateful for. She said that my look would scare away trouble, whatever that means.

She was often smoking, which was not good for her health, so every time, I tried to make her stop, but it wasn't working, and I think it made her condition worse. She was turning red and very quiet every time I did that.

Because of that, I was making her a homemade bento so she would be full of energy.

The job is very quiet and not difficult at all. People are also nice.

Earthlings aren't as scary as I've heard before, and all these interactions prove that.

As I was having a break, my little sister rushed into the break room.

Alme: "Nii-san! You need to help me!"

I was genuinely happy. While Alme is and always was very close to me, I never could help her too much. She is stronger, so she can solve her problems by herself. If I could somehow help her, I would!

Jugemu: "What can I help you with?"

Alme: "How do I make Ryoto like me? I thought since you lived on Earth for a while now, you would know how Earthlings think and act."

Jugemu: "Did something happen to make you want to do it?"

Alme looked a little embarrassed and scratched the back of her head.

Alme: "I kind of wanted to fight Lala, Ryoto's fianc, but I was stopped by Ryoto because Lala is pregnant."

Jugemu: "What!!? Ryoto will be a father, and he didn't tell me!!?"

We are like brothers, and soon we'll be real brothers, and he didn't even tell me about something so important.

Jugemu: "I'm going to meet him. He has some explaining to do."

Alme, however, stopped me. She always was more intelligent than me, so I'll listen to her and then go to hear out his explanation. If I don't like what he'll say, I won't give him the fishes I got and plan to let him use them for his dinner.

Alme: "I think they are hiding it because of Lala's father..."

She then gave me a long and thorough explanation of why he would do it. In fact, it took so long that I needed to finish my work earlier, but the boss lady allowed it as she understands how important family is. I would need to do something called 'cosplay' to repay her, however. I don't know what it is, but I'll do it. The Boss lady helps me a lot after all. She even introduced me to other part-time jobs.

Now with more time, I could help my sister to the best of my abilities.

Jugemu: "I may have lived here longer than you, but the Earth's culture is still a big mystery to me..."

She looked down, disappointed.

Jugemu: "...But I know how to learn it. Zastin-San once told me that manga contains Earth's knowledge, so by reading it, you could learn a lot about the Earth.

I would recommend reading manga with romance since that's what you want to know."

Alme jumped at me and put her arms around my neck.

Alme: "Thank you, Nii-san!!! I knew I could count on you!!!"

I hugged her back.

Jugemu: "Everything for my little sister."

The next time we'll be working on the manga, I'll ask Ryoto about him being a father.

But Uncle Jugemu no Kokogi Suikeru Kajiregami ni Rojiku Furaimatsu ga Baibo Baibo Baibo no Garingan Garingan no Sheringan Sheringan no Bonbopoki no Bonbokona no Chokyumi no Chosuke sounds good and is easy on the tongue. Can't wait to hear it from his children one day.

On this day, I swore to become the best uncle in the entire galaxy.

(3rd pov)

In class 1-A, where Ryoto, Lala, and the rest were currently, nothing unusual was happening at the moment, but it wouldn't last for long as the penguins and Utsu, with his helping paw, were planning on testing Rito.

Skipper: "Kowalski, it was your idea. What are we doing here exactly?"

Kowalski: "First, we'll test his reaction speed using a banana peel."

Kowalski took out his abacus.

Kowalski: "According to my calculations and Utsu's intel, the best time to do it is during the lunch break. At that time, Boss is often on the roof with Lala, so we won't need to worry about bothering him."

Skipper: "Excellent thinking solider. We don't want to anger Boss too much."

Skipper shuddered, remembering the shot he had got before.

The summons waited patiently for the break to start, and when it did, and Ryoto, together with Lala, left the classroom, it was their time to act.

The first part of the plan was a distraction, and the specialist in that field was Private. Using his cuteness, most of the class 1-A didn't even notice three other penguins putting down banana peel.

Risa: "A penguin? How did he get here?"

Rito noticing him, shuddered, remembering what happened the last time he was near penguins, and he started to reconsider if he should confess today after all. Still, he was determined, and he would overcome all the challenges. His brother didn't get where he is without trying, so he wouldn't give up either.

Random girl 1: "But he is so cute!"

One girl started hugging Private.

Random girl 2: "Hey, don't hag him to yourself! Give him to me too!"

The girls started to fight over Private. In that chaos, Rico threw up a smoke bomb, and using their cover, the penguins took back Private and hid inside the classroom to observe.

The students were confused, but they didn't think about it too much. They were, after all, accustomed to the weirdness, but some girls were still sad to see a cute penguin disappear.

Using this chance, Rito decided to tell Haruna to wait behind the school after classes so he would confess.

As he turned towards her, he slipped on the banana peel.

Trying to recover his balance, he grabbed the closest thing that his hand could reach. Unfortunately, he couldn't find anything, and he landed on Haruna. In this minor accident, he somehow was able to not only grab her breast but also take off her bra. Said bra landed on his head, making him look like a pervert.

Seeing this, Kowalski couldn't believe it.

Kowalski: "How is it possible...?"
