The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 89: Beach Chapter

(A/N I read some of your comments and I noticed that some of you misunderstood something about Ryoto so I'm here to clarify. Ryoto doesn't hate lies, he is scared of the truth. Am I good enough, did I mess up? He was scared about the answers to these and more questions. At least he was before. Now he tries to take things into his hands. If something he'll try to fix it and if something goes right then he can be proud of himself. This world was mainly for Ryoto to accept the present, the next one will be accepting his past, and after that? I'm not going to spoil it.

Sorry for the rant. I wanted to make sure everyone is on the same page.)

(Kaede's pov)

Already three months have passed since Koro-sensei became our teacher and about one month since Ryoto discovered and got rid of my tentacles. Just thinking about how it happened makes me blush. I tried to act as I always did around him, but I became conscious of him. My heartbeat quickens, and my face becomes hot near him.

Is it how you feel when you like someone, or was I feeling guilty because I pierced him with my tentacles? I noticed a scar on his right shoulder during PE. He probably has scars on his stomach and left leg as well, but he didn't act any different and didn't blame me either. The first time he saw me after he woke up, he asked if I was okay. It was when I visited him in the hospital, so I still could see him hiding the pain in his stomach. As he said, he is a liar, and as a liar myself, I can notice those small things.

Ryoto was an interesting person, to say at least. He has some unusual abilities, but the most recognizable are his eyes. He was the perfect candidate to hide. As he shone brightly, I could stay in the shadow where no one would notice me. It would make my assassination a lot easier, but as I spent time with him, I noticed that we were similar. He seemed like someone who had lost something or someone before, just like me. I even broke my act once or twice before him, and I'm sure he noticed it.

What I saw yesterday, however, was something I or anyone else didn't expect. Ryoto came to school with a girl hugging him. I felt something breaking inside me, but I acted naturally. Not even Ryoto noticed anything.

The girl's name was Lala, and she was Ryoto's fianc. She was friendly, pretty, and cheerful. It was difficult to dislike her, and she even became friends with most of the girls almost instantly. All of that, and I didn't even mention her enormous boobs. Moreover, I'm sure that Ryoto didn't even notice how happy he seemed around her. I nor anyone in the class ever saw him like that. Sure, there were times when he smiled or enjoyed the moments, but just like me, he pretended to be happy but not yesterday.

*Sigh*

I can see how Ryoto could fall in love with her.

I slapped myself on both of my cheeks.

Too many depressing thoughts. I'll just continue our everyday school life as if nothing is on my mind. Maybe it's because so hot today that my thoughts trailed to Ryoto.

Trying to cool myself down, I pulled my shirt a few times so air could get inside my clothes, but as I looked down, I became even more depressed.

Why is life so unfair?

(Ryoto's pov)

It was summer, and it was obviously very hot. Lala nor I felt that during our session as our apartment had AC, but as soon as we left the building, the heat hit us. Thankfully when we arrived at school, Koro-sensei led us to the river where we could play. I instantly burst off my clothes, revealing my swimsuit and my three scars. Almost everyone's attention was on the already healed wounds. Rio, on the other hand, was looking at my abs. Soon rest of the girls started looking at my muscles. Some were trying to be discreet but were unsuccessful.

Ryoto: "If you guys are done enjoying the view, maybe you should start playing. I'll grill some food when you become hungry."

Most of the girls blushed when they heard that I noticed their staring.

Karma decided to defuse the awkward situation in his own way.

Karma: "Ryoto... at one point, you had more holes than your girlfriend. How does it make you feel?"

Ryoto: "6/10, would recommend, but the care afterward left much to be desired. Joking aside, I'm surprised that you didn't show her photos of me kissing Bitch-sensei and Kaede."

Karma: "I met her only today, but I feel like she isn't the jealous type, and I have a feeling that I'll have a better opportunity to do that later on."

It would be scary if he was right.

While still not being part of Class 3-E on paper, Lala got along with most of the people here. I didn't want to swim at the moment. Besides, my revenge against Rio and Irina will soon begin.

Lala was wearing a school swimsuit since we didn't know that we would go swimming today, so she borrowed one from Toka because they had similar height, plus she had the biggest boobs in the class. Mostly it's because of the second reason. If Lala borrowed Kaede's swimsuit, she would rip it apart trying to fit in.

As soon as I thought that, I felt a killing intent directed at me. It turned out to be Kaede, but I didn't even say anything. Is it the infamous woman's instinct? Can you call it a woman's instinct at this point?

While everyone was playing in the water, Taiga was taking photos of every girl in the class. I noticed that he was focusing on Lala for a while, so I confiscated his camera. At first, I wanted to destroy it, but I'm not a heartless monster, so I'll just send these photos to my phone with the help of Ritsu and return it to him later.

Koro-sensei was being fussy and annoyed everyone, so the students started splashing him with water and discovered one of the sensei's weaknesses: water. Koro-sensei's body absorbs water very easily, making him move slower, which would make assassination easier.

I, on the hand, started grilling steaks, sausages, skewers, and some vegetables. Next to me was Irina, who was observing my skills in actions.

Irina: "Looks like you got some skills. You would be great husband material if you were a bit older."

Ryoto: "I can't believe that I'm hearing it from you. You know, a teacher that kisses their students as a lesson in social interactions. Besides, I'm taken, so I can't return your feelings. Have a lollipop, and I hope that you find someone you'll like as much as me in the future. It won't be easy, but I wish you luck."

I bowed slightly and returned to grilling. Irina seemed irritated at my comment, but she had learned her lesson not to continue the discussion with me as it would most likely lead to her irritation. It starts to feel boring, no one wants to take bets with me, and no one besides Karma and Rio tries to challenge me anymore. I need to step up my game.

Feeling motivated, I started serving food to everyone. Irina and Rio had smaller portions than the rest, not by much, but it was visible. It didn't make them lose their swimsuits, but everyone knows that the fewer clothes someone has, the harder it is to make them lose them. It works like that with cooking and woman alike.

I started giving the second serving, but I skipped both Irina and Rio this time.

Rio: "Eh, Ryoto? You forgot to give us the seconds."

I turned to Rio, who was holding an empty plate, with a 'kind' smile on my face.

Ryoto: "Hmm, did I just hear someone who thought Lala something, let's just say unusual, or was it someone who gey Lala to talk about some personal stuff? Oh, and before I forget. Here, I saved the best piece for you, Toka. Not only you tried to stop them, but you also lent Lala your swimsuit."

I got back to grilling as Koro-sensei was starting to pilfer ready pieces of food directly from the grill. I wasn't mad, as I enjoyed making food more than I thought I would before I got to this world but having Rio and Irina hugging both of my legs and begging for more food was a little distracting.
