The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 74: A confession and...(*spoiler*)

(A/N Sorry, there won't be an extra chapter today :( I'm too tired, need to sleep a bit longer today, so don't expect it.

(Ryoto's pov)

Ryoto: "Yes, I'm from another universe."

Everyone in the room looked between each other awkwardly. How should they respond to something like this?

Irina leaned towards Karasuma and whispered.

Irina: "I think he hit his head a bit too hard."

Ryoto: "You know that I can hear you."

Koro-sensei: How about we listen to him first before making any judgment."

Koro-sensei stepped in. I would believe him if he didn't have first aid hidden behind his back.

No matter, I'll try to explain as .uch as possible.

Ryoto: "Everything started when I got these eyes, and a girl teleported in my bathtub..."

I explained my everyday life to them so they could better understand it. I added the details that would make it evident that there were differences between mine and this world, such as the Magical Kyouko show, my manga, and the Tenjouin family.

I didn't say anything about a system and my past life. These were the secrets I wasn't ready to share. Maybe someday, or maybe never. Who knows.

Ryoto: "...And then I woke up in my new apartment."

Irina was listening attentively while Karasuma was pinching the bridge of his nose.

Tadaomi: "What is your goal in telling us all that, assuming that it's true."

Ryoto: "What do you mean, assuming?"

Tadaomi: "Can you prove that you're from another universe?"

I opened my eyes, to which he pointed at Koro-sensei.

Ryoto: "Really?"

Tadaomi: "For all I know, you could be lost experiment, a trained assassin, or spy. These answers would also explain why it's impossible to find your identity. It's also a lot more believable than whatever you said."

Ryoto: "I was born in 1991."

Tadaomi: "Which we can't prove."

Ryoto: "I have unbelievable abilities."

Tadaomi: "Just like your teacher, who looks more alien than you."

Ryoto: "My fianc is an alien princess, which makes me alien Prince and future emperor of Milky way Galaxy."

Tadaomi: "Prove it."

Ryoto: "She is in another dimension."

Tadaomi: "It means that you can't prove it."

Ryoto: "I faced a god of death."

Tadaomi: "Did you die?"

Ryoto: "Sadly yes,... but I survived!"

He asked his question sarcastically, but I answered earnestly.

Before I could try to convince Karasuma, Koro-sensei got closer to me and hugged me.

Koro-sensei: "Yuuki-kun, I understand. It must have been horrible."

I knew that Koro-sensei would understand. Satisfied that I got through at least one person, I returned home the whole stopping by the grocery shop to buy some things needed for dinner.

I also got a notification that my mission was completed. I didn't use the gacha ticket just yet. I'll use it soon, though.

I feel like I'm forgetting something.

(3rd pov)

When Ryoto left the faculty office, the room was silent until Karasuma decided to speak.

Tadaomi: "...Do you believe him?"

Koro-sensei didn't answer immediately, but he took out a notebook with the name Ryoto Yuuki written on it.

Koro-sensei: "Some time ago, Yuuki-kun came to me to ask for individual training. At that time, he revealed some of his egrets to me, which I wrote down. He told me some of his powers that we trained and even explained his everyday life to me. Interestingly, his life is a little different from what he told me before.

I thought up two possible answers. The first and most obvious is that he was lying. Why would he lie, you ask? Just like you concluded, I also thought that he was part of some kind of experiment, so I would guess he doesn't want to talk about it and wants to be treated like an ordinary student.

The second possibility is DID (Dissociative identity disorder). Because of some kind of trauma from childhood, he developed a different personality as a coping mechanism. That's why he does two different stories."

Irina: "In both of these cases, he was being experimented on?"

Koro-sensei: "Yes. There is a chance that even his ability is natural, but the chances are slim."

Tadaomi: "Either way, it seems that he led a tragic life, but I must ask you... How likely is he a spy or an assassin?"

Koro-sensei stayed silent for a moment, but suddenly his face showed a big 0.

Koro-sensei: "I'm confident that he is not an enemy if that's what you're worried about."

Tadaomi: "...I'll trust you on this one."

Koro-sensei: "And please treat him as usual. I want to give him as normal of school life as possible."

Tadaomi: "You mean as normal as it can be while trying to kill his teacher."

Karasuma unusually tried to make a joke.

Koro-sensei: "Let's leave the jokes to me, and you'll do what you do best, looking serious and angry."

A vein popped on Karasuma's forehead, and before he could attack Koro-sensei, the Mach 20 flying teacher had already left.

(Ryoto's pov)

The next day I remembered what I had forgotten. It's Kaede. I wanted to deal with her yesterday, but I completely forgot about it because of my confession.

No worries, I'll just do it today.

---

Today was a strange day. Karasuma didn't act like I murdered his whole family, and Irina didn't react to my provocation and gave me a look of pity.

What's going on? Koro-sensei doesn't act unusual, so I don't think it's about yesterday.

To test out the waters, I just walked to the tree to lay down and take a nap during PE. I obviously didn't, but I observed Karasuma's reaction. He didn't do anything. Just looked at me and returned to conduct a lesson. I'm starting to get a bit scared.

I called Irina by her nickname a few times, and she just smiled gently at me and asked what was wrong.

Am I in a simulation? Is anything real at the moment? It can't be an illusion. I'm immune to them. Maybe hallucination?

I decided to talk with Karen about the possibilities.

'Karen? Karen, are you there?'

Karen: "Yes, darling, what can I do for you?"

I instantly paled and started sweating.
