The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 68: A visitor

(A/N I want to thank you all for the power stones the last week. My ranking was the highest ever (: )

(Ryoto's pov)

A few days have passed, and I was in my apartment cooking. I was getting good if I can say so myself, which I do. Consistent practice can do wonders. As I was making side dishes for myself, I heard a notification on my phone. I didn't go for my phone immediately and finished what I started first.

After I was done, I finally had time to look at my phone.

Ritsu: "Good evening, Yuuki-San!"

Ryoto: "Hello Ritsu. Is my phone comfortable?"

Ritsu: "Your reaction is by far the calmest of everyone, and there's no difference between the devices except the amount of data. If more data equals comfort, then yours is the most comfortable."

Ryoto: "I see. Can you wait for a second? I'll go inside the kitchen to finish cooking first. I'm done with side dishes, and I just need to make the main one."

Ritsu: "Understood."

I went back to the kitchen and placed my phone nearby to hear Ritsu while making dinner.

Ritsu: "Can I ask you one thing Yuuki-San?"

Ryoto: "Call me Ryoto. You don't need to be so formal with me."

Ritsu: "Acknowledged, Ryoto. My question is, why your existence is a complete mystery?"

I stopped chopping the vegetables, but I was still controlling my emotions.

Ryoto: "What do you mean by that?"

Ritsu: "I looked into your personal information, and at first, everything checked out. Your family, school, and medical record, but when I searched for more specific pieces of information, I couldn't find you on any pictures of you or your family. Technically your parents work overseas, but they aren't included in any projects or anything else. They exist only on paper, the same way you do or did until you transferred to Kunugigaoka Junior High School."

I listened to her calmly and carefully.

Ryoto: "You know that it's a breach of privacy, right, Ritsu?"

Ritsu: "And I apologize for that. I was trying to get basic information about everyone and their family as I predict that at some point, you'll be targeted because of your closeness with Koro-sensei. It was an accident that I discovered it."

Ritsu sounded guilty.

Ryoto: "Ritsu, how easy is it to get this info?"

Ritsu started 'thinking' about it.

Ritsu: "I believe that it would be difficult to do it by a human. Unless someone wanted to look into your past, you're safe."

Ryoto: "That's good. And about your question, I'll explain it someday."

Maybe.

Ryoto: "But for now, I would ask you to keep it a secret."

Ritsu: "Understood."

Ritsu went into sleep mode in my phone and did some other things. On the other hand, I finished cooking and set everything on a table.

I made a lot since my metabolism is increased thanks to my Spider-man powers. It isn't on the level of shounen protagonist, but it's still a lot in an ordinary people's eyes.

As I was about to start eating, someone knocked on the door.

It's strange. I was not expecting any visitors today. Yesterday I ate with my observers, a nice pair, by the way, and Rio and Kaede were the days before yesterday. Today was my alone day or at least supposed to be, but Ritsu invited herself in.

I walked to my door and opened it to see a woman in her early 20s with long, wavy, light blue hair. She was a bit shorter than me and had a medium-sized breast, maybe slightly on a bigger side. Her figure was very eye-catching. She smiled at me gently and looked at me with her eyes filled with small stars. It was like looking in the night sky or galaxy.

???: "Hello Ryoto."

Her voice was soothing and very pleasant to listen to. She was a personification of Onee-San.

Karen: "RYOTO!!! CLOSE THE DOOR, CLOSE THE DOOR, CLOSE THE DOOR, FOR FUCK SAKE!!!"

'What? Why are you screaming?"

Karen: "Listen to me!!! If there was a time to listen to me, it would be now!!! I wouldn't even care if you'll fail every next mission. Just close the damn door before it's too late!!!"

It's the first time I heard so panic, so I closed the door against my better judgment. If she was dangerous, my spider-sense would go off, but it didn't.

'Karen, some explaining would be appreciated.'

Karen: "Pay attention now because I'm not going to repeat myself. That... THING... is an evil incarnate. Everything near IT dies. Be it dreams, future, or other things that you care about!"

'Is it really that terrible?'

Karen: "Ooh, trust me. I have personal experience with THAT. It was because of IT that James broke up with me, that I didn't have any friends besides that god damn Truck and why my parents bought me a cake that I was allergic to for my birthday!!!"

'Most of them happened because of you, though...'

Karen: "Don't care! The point is we should run!"

'Where?'

Karen: "As far as we can!!! Possibly and hopefully to another universe!"

???: "I can't let you do this."

The soothing voice rang in my head.

Karen: "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!! Can't you leave me alone already, $&!#D!!!"

$&!#D: "Your words hurt me, you know that? We haven't seen each other for a long time. How about a hug, <>~A@!%."

Karen: "Over my dead body!!! And I'm not even here, to begin with, you dumb bitch!!! How do you plan to hug me!?"

$&!#D: "Where is a will, there's away."

She said with great enthusiasm, like a little child.

'Can someone explain to me what's this all about and stop talking inside my head.'

$&!#D: "Oh, excuse me."

She created a phone out of the air and dialed some number. I could hear Karen's voice from the phone, and thankfully, her voice stopped inside my head.

Ryoto: "Thank you."

$&!#D: "No worries."

Before I noticed it, she disappeared from my vision, and the next moment, I heard the sound of the cup being placed on a table.

$&!#D: "I made a cup of coffee so we can talk. I heard you like it bitter."

Ryoto: "...I planned to eat before you came. Can I do it first?"

She widened her eyes and put her hand in front of her mouth.

$&!#D: "Oh silly me, forgive me. It seems like I came at the wrong time. Don't mind me and eat to your heart's desire. I can wait."

She then sat next to me while putting her elbows on a table and supported her head with her hands.

Does she plan to watch me eat?
