Chapter 316: An end of a day
(Ryoto's pov)
Koro-sensei tapped everyone who was on top of him to let him stand up and while reluctantly and some with tears of happiness in their eyes, they all stood up in the end.
Mikan, Rito, and Rin hadn't seen Koro-sensei before, so they all reacted in their own way. Rin didn't have much of a reaction, though. Both of us have seen a lot of things in our lives. My siblings, however, were more expressive, with both of their eyes wide open, although Mikan was the first to calm herself down, and shortly after, Rito did as well. We both live with an alien, after all, and my eyes aren't human. I also don't remember if I ever mentioned Koro-sensei to them. I may or may not do that.
Now, free from his former students' clutches, Koro-sensei turned to me.
"Glad to see you again, Yuuki-kun. Truly, it is. I can't even believe that I'm able to say these words again, but seeing you again, I can only see how much you've grown as a person, and I couldn't be more proud."
Koro-sensei said to me with a gentle tone, and it nearly caused me to tear up. God dammit, you ninja and your onions.
But I also noticed how he said I had grown, and he didn't mean my height. He noticed the look in my eyes. An assassin recognized another assassin, but he also saw that I wasn't a cold machine made for killing. He could see that there was still warmth in my eyes despite my profession, not to mention my love for my family.
Just what I expected from Koro-sensei. He also didn't mention anything about it because of everyone around here.
"Despite my happiness, I would like to know how you managed the impossible and brought me back to life."
I didn't answer vocally, but I turned my eyes towards the gigantic dragon in the air. Koro-sensei followed my line of vision, and realizing what he was looking at, his head whiplashed back and forth from the dragon to me in panic."Is it-?"
"Yep."
"But-"
"I went for a walk and found them."
That was the end of this discussion because something else caught my teacher's attention.
"But shouldn't the dragon disappear after making a wish?"
Look at that. Koro-sensei knows his lore, but he doesn't know it well enough, it looks.
"I still have two wishes. Speaking of which..." Again, I spoke to a wish-granting dragon. "For my second wish, I want you to bring Kaede's big sister back to life."
This wish caused the most shock to Koro-sensei and Kaede. My green-haired girlfriend was the second reason I chose the normal difficulty. With ordinary Dragon Ball, there would be more restrictions with a wish to resurrect both of them without big consequences, but I also needed a third wish for something special.
As I spoke my wish, the dragon's eyes glowed again, and the body of a woman appeared in a garden. She was a beautiful, fair-skinned young woman with short black hair that had bangs swept to the left side. It was worth mentioning that while she was petite, her bust was large in comparison. Her eyes were closed, but it wasn't long before they flattered a bit and finally opened themselves. Just like Koro-sensei, she was confused, then became even more confused as she remembered her last memory, and then became even more confused as she looked around, not recognizing her surroundings.
She didn't get a chance to act even more confused as she was tackled, and it was the second time someone had been tackled in my garden.
"Nee-chan, it's really you, right?"
While Kaede's sister may have been confused -did I mention that she was confused- she recognized her sister despite her changed appearance, and immediately, her big sister instincts kicked in, and she started comforting her younger sibling.
"Yes, Akari, it's me. I don't know how, but I'm here. If it isn't the work of some kind of God, then I don't know how I am again able to hug you."
I mean... I am some kind of god. In name only, of course, but Shinigami are gods of death, and also, compared to ordinary people, I'm immensely powerful. Just like a human may seem like a god to a monkey, I also could be perceived as such.
I'm just playing with the idea. I really don't think of myself as a god in any way or capacity. And I'm not saying that just because I could feel Rin's exasperation directed at me. I don't know how she is able to read my mind like that because I know that she can't do that because of our connection. Otherwise, I would be able to do that as well.
We all allowed the sisters to have their moment, even Koro-sensei, though he wanted to speak with that woman just as much as Kaede did.
There was silence in the garden until Kaede's sister finally looked around. Her eyes landed on Koro-sensei, and her eyes went wide.
"You-"
"I, Aguri-san, I never thought I would see you ever again. As it is the first time we have met that way, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Koro-sensei, Aguri-san. It's nice to meet you."
Hearing 'Sensei' in his name, now named Aguri smiled warmly, knowing that Koro-sensei had fulfilled the promise he had made to her.
"Nice to meet you Koro-sensei, I'm Aguri Yukimura."
They shook their hand/tentacle to celebrate their re-meeting.
*Cough Cough*
I coughed to gather everyone's attention.
"I don't want to ruin the moment, but I don't want to have a giant buff dragon in the air any longer than necessary. I am sure that someone has already called the police. Maybe military, and I want him to vanish before they arrive. No offense." I said the last part to the dragon, but he didn't acknowledge it anyway... Dick.
"Excuse me, but who are you?"
Aguri asked me a bit sheepishly as she didn't want to sound rude, but it was a fairly important question. In return, I took her hand in a handshake and shook it vigorously.
"Ryoto Yuuki, your sister's boyfriend, 2nd year at Sainan High, a former student of Koro-sensei, former Shinigami and former Captain of Squad 7 and 2, respectively, and probably future Emperor of the Milky Way Galaxy. Nice to meet you."
"You are Akari's boyfriend!!? But she's still a baby!!!"
"...That's what you focus on? I'll explain everything later. For now, let's go with my third and final wish." I turned to the dragon. "I wish for Koro-sensei to turn human."
If Koro-sensei stayed as he was, there was a possibility that the government would go after him again. This time, I would be able to stop the assassination attempt on him. I could stop the whole country from killing him, but he wouldn't want me to sacrifice my safety, my home, family, and friends for him, so I found another way.
By turning Koro-sensei back into a human, I would solve this problem and give him another chance at life.
My genius must be frightening to come up with an idea like this, and I won't disagree with that.
Another blinding light was caused by a dragon, and the next moment, in Koro-sensei's place, was a blonde-looking man wearing Koro-sensei's clothes. He seemed confused as he examined his body. Then he looked at me, and I could see gratitude in his eyes.
With my last wish granted, the eternal dragon vanished, and so did the dragon balls. However, unlike the original set, they didn't fly in seven different directions and waited to recharge so they could be used again. No, they vanished from this world. I could have guessed that they weren't reusable, but that didn't mean I wasn't a bit disappointed. The sky also returned to normal.
Now that I was done with wishes there was one thing to do and it was to make some sense of the situation for the resurrected duo.

"So let me get this straight." Aguri started. "You." She pointed at me. "Are Akari's, sorry, Kaede's boyfriend." I nodded. "And you also have other girlfriends."
"And fiancées." I corrected.
"Right, fiancées. But anyway, you were Koro-sensei's student together with Akari, and you were the same age, but you are older now because..."
"Multiverse shenanigans."
"Fascinating. And because of yet another... multiverse shenanigan... you brought Koro-sensei and me back to life. Did I get everything right?"
Aguri finished her summarisation and took a sip of the tea that Mikan had prepared.
"I think it covers the most important things, yes." I answered as I took out a lollipop and put it in my mouth.
I was expecting her to be in more shock after experiencing something unnatural like that.
"I see... I'll probably freak out tomorrow when the realization that all of this is real hits me, but now when I'm still calm, as Akari's sister, I want you to take care of her and make her happy despite your... unusual relationship."
She bowed her head, and I did the same as a show of respect.
"There's no need to ask me for something I already planned on doing."
It was getting pretty late, and the whole day had been very emotional, so all of us went to bed early. Aguri and Koro-sensei stayed at our house as they didn't have a place of their own, and Rin returned to her own home after we shared a short kiss. I also showered alone today as I believed it was enough of shocking revelations for one day.
All in all, the day was very eventful and filled with happy and emotional moments. I hope that tomorrow will be a bit calmer.
