The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 315: The reward

(Ryoto's pov)

I'll kill Karen. I'll kill Karen. I'll kill Karen. I'll kill Karen. I'll kill Karen. I'll kill Karen.

I'll! Kill! Karen!!!

""Ryoto!!! What is the meaning of this!?""

Mikan and Rio demanded answers after they saw the last batch of photos. All went fine at the beginning. There were photos of my and Rin's time in Rukongai District, and as we went through the photos, we explained some things. Thankfully, there weren't any pictures of my first assassination, but there were after when I was injured.

Mikan and Rito were the most shaken by the image of their big brother in that state. Lala, too, tightened her grip on me, but I reassured them that it was over 200 years ago and everything was already healed. This made them realize that I wasn't there to play around.

Then, photos of our time at Shinigami Academy. All went as one expected from school life with a supernatural twist. That is, until our first mission in the world of the living, or rather, what happened after. I remember vividly that night because it was my very first foursome, and of course, Karen took multiple photos of that night! They may not have been +18 but it was clear what have happened.

Karma attempted to make multiple copies of these photos, but I stopped him before he could even try. The difference between our speeds is just too big.

Rin looked a bit ashamed to see what had happened in the past. Kaede wasn't even that angry but just dejected as she looked at the difference between herself and my lovers in the photo. The difference was noticeable. Of course, all pictures didn't show any private parts or weren't taken during the 'deed', and that's small mercies. They did, however, show my scars and tattoos.

"In my defense, I was drunk, and I just escaped a life-and-death situation. Besides, it could get worse."

"How?" Nagisa inquired.

"Well... if we look further down the album, you'll know the answer, but I believe we can take a break for now. We can continue our viewing in the future because I'm afraid all of you are having a heart attack at this point. We didn't even get to some other stuff that will make you question reality."

"Question." Karma put his arm in the air as he made a question. "We've seen that you kept scars from the earlier photos, and you even got a tattoo. Did you keep them when you returned?"

Perceptive as always, Karma asked.

"I did." To prove it, I rolled my sleeve to show my dragon tattoo, but there was a small difference between what I have on my right arm and what was shown in the photo. I have an additional scar near the tattoo that made it look like a dragon was breathing out fire.

I would show them my whole body, but I'm afraid it would be too much of a shock for everyone at once. Mikan and Lala will see them in the bath tonight unless Mikan doesn't want to join.

Karma, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes in suspicion until they widened in realization. It was a scar that didn't show in the photos, meaning that I probably had more of these.

Karma was many things, prankster, smart, talented, and jerk, but he wasn't a dick when it would hurt his friends. That's why he smoothly changed the topic.

"But really? Four girls at the same time? What would Koro-sensei say? He would think that you became a delinquent." He exaggerated and put his arm on his forehead as if the sole idea of me being a delinquent was physically hurting him.

However, I focused on a convenient opportunity for a scene transition.

"Then why don't we go and ask him?" I asked, and this question caused silence to spread throughout the room.

"What do you mean? You mean asking his spirit? Is it a Shinigami thing?" Rio tried to rationalize my words, and her guess wasn't half bad and made sense. I decided to make a gesture to make all of the people here follow me to the garden.

When we were outside, I started explaining some things... again. Wow, today must be the exposition day because I keep explaining things.

"You didn't think I kept traveling the multiverse because of some accident. No, I made a deal, and this time, one of my rewards is... this!!!"

I brought Namekian's Dragon Balls out of the system.

Some people recognized these wishing orbs, and their mouths hung open. I smirked at their reaction, but I didn't comment and focused on summoning the dragon.

"Come forth, eternal dragon, and grant my wish!"

With that phrase spoken, the seven big orange balls glowed, the sky become dark as night and the light from them shot up, creating an enormous Chinese-like dragon that was more buff than he had any reason to be.

"State your wish."

His voice was deep, but it also felt like it was going through your whole body. I also just now realized that I didn't need to speak Namekian. Lucky me, I guess. It would be very awkward if I said all of that and couldn't summon the dragon.

Now, all my hard work would finally pay off—everything I went through for this sole moment. I was fidgety, nervous, excited, and tense—I felt all these opposite emotions at the same time. But before making that specific wish, I want to try something.

"For my first wish... I want you to bring back to life everyone that I regret killing."

"I can only bring back one person at a time. Resurrecting multiple people with one wish is beyond my power."

I expected as much. It was a long shot, but I wanted to at least try. Plan A it is.

"Then bring Koro-sensei back."

For a few seconds, nothing happened, and even I started to worry that it didn't work, but finally, the dragon's eyes glowed with power. It blinded everyone here, and when the light subdued, a new person appeared in the garden.

It was an Octopus-like humanoid wearing a black academic dress, a small black squarish mortarboard cap with a yellow tassel, and a large black tie with a yellow crescent-shaped moon.

He looked disoriented and looked around, and then he turned towards us, and I swear his eyes widened, but before he could say a word, all former members of class 3-E tackled him. Lala was with them, and it was the first time she let go of me since earlier today.

Everyone cried as they hugged their middle school teacher. Koro-sensei was confused, but his confusion quickly turned into happiness as he returned the hug with his tentacles. I also approached Koro-sensei, but I didn't jump into him. I stood above him as he lay down under his former students. He noticed and looked at me. I, in return, smiled.

"I said it wasn't a goodbye, but see you soon."
