The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

(Ryoto's pov)

To be honest, I completely forgot that Yami would go after my life. I was too busy planning other things. Like survive ing Gid's wrath or being a father.

The only downside is that my right arm is still injured. I can use it if the situation requires it, but I would rather not.

Ryoto: "Golden Darkness, could you not try to kill me in the middle of the city?"

Yami: "You know who I am?"

Ryoto: "Of course I do. Golden Darkness is a legendary assassin who can transform any part of her body into a weapon. You came here to kill me because one of Lala's fiancé candidates hired you but never mind that. Can we fight somewhere else? We don't want to disturb people here."

Yami looked around and nodded.

Ryoto: "Not a long way from here is the riverbank. There shouldn't be any people there. Strangely enough, it's not a popular spot."

Yami: "Lead the way..."

(Lala's pov)

I was in my laboratory playing with some machines. I was still mad at papa for injuring Ryoto, but I think I understand why he did what he did.

Together with Ryoto, we'll soon be parents, and I would do everything to protect our child, even if it would end up hating me.

It doesn't mean that I'll forgive papa easily.

*Pirurururu* *Pirurururu*

It was the sound of an incoming call. Slowly an image started forming on the big screen.

???: "Yahoo, Lala-tan♡! It's me. Of course, you remember me, right?'

Lala: "Geh! Lacospo!?"

On the screen, there was one of my now ex-fiancé candidates, but papa said to keep quiet about it for now as announcing the winner would make some people more desperate in their attempts, and Ryoto is strong enough to handle them.

Lacospo: "Yes!!! The prince of planet Gaama, as well as your number one fiancé candidate, Lacospo!!! Lala-tan, how have you been!?"

He was sitting comfortably on his bed, surrounded by four members of his harem.

Lacospo: "I came to Earth to pick you up today, Lala-tan. So let's quickly get married. I'll prepare you a special seat next to me!"

Lala: "Beh, no way! Don't you know!? I've found someone great on Earth!!!"

Lacospo: "...You mean Ryoto Yuuki? But he might not be in this world anymore. Bububu."

???

What did he mean by that?

Seeing my confusion, he gladly told me his plan.

Lacospo: "Have you ever heard of 'Golden Darkness'?"

Lala: "Darkness?"

Apparently, it was the best assassin in the galaxy, and he sent her to kill Ryoto.

...

I need to find him quickly! He still has a wounded arm!

(Ryoto's pov)

I was walking with Yami next to me in complete silence, so I decided to start a small talk. God, I'm bad at this.

Ryoto: "Hey, Golden Darkness is a bit long. Can I just call you Yami?"

Yami looked at me while slightly tilting her head.

Yami: "...Do as you wish. You'll die soon either way."

Charming, isn't she?

And there was once again silence.

Ryoto: "..."

Yami: "..."

Ryoto: "Do you want some more Taiyaki?"

I proposed more food to her, and she accepted.

Ryoto: "Do you want to ask me something before we start our fight?"

She stopped earing and looked at me.

Yami: "No..."

After her short answer, she continued eating.

I decided to stop talking as nothing more could come out of this.

---

We finally arrived at the riverbank, and I put down the bag at the side so all the food inside wouldn't be destroyed.

There was a distance between us, and we judged each other. I still had my eyes open and would use them only when needed.

I could use this fight to train my fighting without an arm since there could be a situation where my arm will be unusable again.

...

I think I have a problem. I'm using every possible situation as a teaching session unless I'm pissed off, or my opponent clearly outclassed me.

Wait, is Yami stronger than me? In her Darkness form, I would have problems, but right now, I should be alright. I even have the advantage of having water next to me. Also, if I remember correctly, she is scared of slimy things, so I could show her some illusions, but the problem is I don't know what triggered her transformation. If it was fear, I'm screwed, and I don't want to risk it.

Eh, I'll just wing it. I can also summon Zangetsu if necessary but is it stronger than my Haki in its Asauchi form? I'll need to do some testing.

Maybe I should drag out the battle as long as possible for that asshole who sent her to kill me to come and wait for him to dig his own grave or just drag out his desire.

So many options but I can choose only one. What to do. What to do.

As I was thinking, I dodged a blade that targeted my head.

Ryoto: "Have we started already?"

I didn't get any answer. She just continued attacking me.

I deflected all of her attacks with my left hand covered in Haki. Seeing that her attacks didn't work, she changed her tactic and transformed her hair into eight dragon heads, and as it was too much to defend myself at once, especially with one arm, so while backstepping, I controlled water and aimed it at her. Seeing this, she used some of her hair to create a shield to protect herself from water which in turn I turned into ice.

She was slightly surprised by that, but she returned her focus quickly and smashed the ice into the ground, breaking it in the process.

Yami: "It wasn't mentioned by my client."

Ryoto: "I like to think that I'm full of surprises. By the way, what else did your client mention."

I need to know how to punish him later.

Yami: "He said that you are a beast that would lust after everything that would be considered female. He said that you were blackmailing princess Lala to become your fiancé so you could take Deviluke's throne for yourself.

Also, apparently, you can't get up your brother... whatever that means."

...

He is dead.

Even Mil-tan won't be enough to calm my rage. Should I let Mil-tan team up with Puri-Puri Prisoner or maybe multiply both of them. But first I would let him see them as beautiful girls and as he starts kissing one of them... Boom! They turn back to their true form, and they start having 'fun' with him.

Ryoto: "Thank you for telling me that, Yami, but you got fake info this time. Strange that you didn't check it before you took the job."

Yami looked at me with a blank expression, but I could see a faint embarrassment.

Yami: "...I didn't get a lot of jobs as of late."

Ryoto: "...I see."

There was a silence, but it was destroyed by Lala.

Lala: "Ryoto!!!"
