The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

(A/N 2 chapters in 1. Show me some love.)

(Ryoto's pov)

Usually, I spend my breaks alone, so that Lala can spend time with her friends, so I found a few places where I can relax at. I could always go into my inner world if I was desperate but enjoying quiet times in school is fun in itself.

There's the rooftop, gym storage, nurse's office, and some more. Sometimes I even nap on top of the tree because no one would be able to bother me up there.

Of course, there are also times that I don't have free time to myself, but that's why I cherish these times. Soon I'll be a father, and the number of times I could be relaxing will be reduced for some time.

Today I decided to nap in the library. I don't know why I didn't do it earlier. It's the perfect napping spot.

Inside I found a good place without many people and was ready to relax, but a loud noise disturbed my peace.

I checked out the source of that noise and found Yami with books surrounding her.

Yami: "...Ryoto Yuuki."

Seeing me, she was ready to attack, but before she could swing her hair now turned blade at me, the transformation reverted, and she bumped into me without causing me any injury.

Well, that's not normal.

I checked her temperature by touching her forehead, and she was burning.

Ryoto: "I'm taking you to the doctor."

I said with a serious tone.

I couldn't cure her with my lollipops because I didn't understand what was wrong with her. She is a living weapon that was created by some organization, so I don't know her biology. Is she the same as humans? Slightly different? I know nothing. At most, my lollipops could help her with the high temperature a bit, but it also isn't an option because I plan on taking Yami to Mikado-sensei. While running there, Yami could choke on a lollipop which would be counterproductive.

I took Yami on a piggyback and started running. I knew that Mikado wasn't at school today, so I ran to her house instead.

Yami: "... Ryoto Yuuki... Put me down..."

Ryoto: "I'll put you down when I get you to the doctor!"

She couldn't argue anymore because she had fainted.

Outside I swung across the city to reach Mikado's home as fast as possible, and when I finally arrived, Oshizu opened the doors as usual.

I explained the whole situation to her, and she let me in. I knew the insides of the house pretty well at this point, and while Oshizu was getting Mikado, I brought Yami to the lab.

When Mikado arrived, she recognized Yami straight away. I would think that they know each other since Mikado is an underground doctor and Yami is an assassin.

I helped Mikado strip Yami, and we put her into some kind of tube with healing juice inside.

Mikado could handle it on her own, so I went out to buy Yami some Taiyaki.

(Yami's pov)

I woke up feeling a lot better, but I was in an unfamiliar environment.

Ryokou: "Oh! You woke up. That's good."

Yami: "...Where am I?"

I recognized the woman as Doctor Mikado, the best doctor in the galaxy, but her being her didn't help me understand where I was.

Ryokou: "You are in my medical clinic on Earth. Seems you've been recklessly using your transformation powers. Your vital functions have dropped considerably but never mind that. You owe Ryoto-kun a big thank you. He carried you here on his back as fast as he could."

Yami: "...I don't understand. We are enemies."

Ryouko: "Ryoto-kun doesn't seem to think that."

I still don't understand.

(Ryoto's pov)

I returned after giving all I planned to give Yami. I witnessed her dressing up. She was standing in her panties and was preparing to get in her usual outfit.

As she realized what was happening, I brought my hands together.

Ryoto: "Thank you for the meal."

It wasn't the right answer because Yami attacked me right afterward. It looks like she was feeling alright, so that's good.

March 6 is the day Rito was waiting for because that's the date of Haruna's birthday, but today is not that day. Today is March 5, and Rito was stressing out.

I put a hand on his shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile.

Ryoto: "Rito, you don't need to be nervous. One bullet and all your problems will be solved."

Rito: "But Nii-san... you shot me multiple times already."

Ryoto: "I admit, there were some... let's just say unforeseen obstacles, but you can't deny that you were closer than ever before, and soon you'll become the mafia boss!"

Rito: "...Why mafia boss?"

Ryoto: "Not important. What's important is that tomorrow will be the perfect chance to confess."

Rito: "But do you need to use these Bullets?"

Ryoto: "Can you gather your courage without them?"

Rito: "I... I'll try."

His eyes were telling me he was serious, although nervous but still serious.

Well, I'll respect his wish... this time.

Ryoto: "Well, why not, but if you fail, I have some other Bullets that need testing, so good luck."

At that thought, Rito shuddered, but at least he is motivated now.

We were invited by Haruna to her apartment. Thankfully her sister wasn't home, so at least I could relax.

Besides me, there were Lala, Kenichi, Risa, Mio and of course Rito.

The party itself wasn't anything special. We ate a cake and gave our presents, but Kenichi brought with him a 'color twist' or more known as a twister.

Kenichi had a plan to tangle himself with the girls at the party, but he was immediately shot down by Lala, who asked Haruna and me to play before he could propose it himself.

The game for me wasn't any challenge. I'm 'naturally' flexible, but I noticed Haruna, who was slightly blushing. It's probably because her face was near my crotch. On the other hand, Lala's butt was near mine.

(A/N If someone as much as mentions a human centipede, I'm going to send Mil-tan to all of you!)

Risa: "Who would have guessed, but you're pretty flexible, Ryoto."

Ryoto: "I'm full of surprises. Plus, I'm training every day."

Risa took a look at my abs that were revealed because of my position.

Risa: "I can see that."

She walked up to me with curiosity in her eyes and ran her finger across my abs.

Risa: "Wow! They are really hard!"

Lala: "Right!?"

Lala sounded strangely proud of it.

Before the conversation could escalate, the door to the room burst open, and a demon arrived.

Akiho: "Ryo-chan!!!"

The party became chaotic, and because of that, Rito didn't get a chance to confess once more...

My phone was also destroyed in the process. It'll take some time to repair. Lala could do it faster, but I would like a normal phone this time.

(Kaede's pov)

We were on the train to our new home. Rio and I would live in the same place while Nagisa and Karma would live together in another.

We decided to first visit Nagisa's and Karma's new home, and they would borrow rooms from a nice old couple. Nothing unusual there, but they warned us about some pervert running around the city.

We didn't take it seriously because people tend to exaggerate, and I think we can defend against one pervert, especially when we are in a group of four.

Before we went to look at mine and Rio's new home, we went to look around the city. It's our first time in Sainan Town, and we want to explore a bit.

Our first destination would be the shopping district. We would eat something before reaching our destination. I don't know why but I feel nervous thinking about meeting the people that will house us.

Rio: "Feeling nervous?"

Rio noticed my state.

Kaede: "A little. I just hope that they will be nice."

Rio: "Don't worry! We survived the world end, so we can survive anything!"

Rio reassured me.

Karma, on the other hand, was looking bored.

Karma: "I just hope that something interesting will happen."

Nagisa laughed awkwardly at his statement.

Nagisa: "But isn't it good? After the bizarre but fun year, we'll have a break from all the weirdness."

As soon as he said that, we saw an emotionless young blonde girl wearing black goth-style clothes reading some book. Everything was normal until a short, round person wearing round sunglasses got naked, leaving only his underwear and sunglasses, and started running towards the girl.

Was it the pervert that the old lady warned us about?

Principal: "Yami-chan!!!"

We were about to rush and help but the hair of the girl transformed into a fist knocking the pervert out.

The girl didn't even turn to look at him. It's as if it was a daily occurrence, but I feel like we, out of all people, shouldn't be surprised by strange things anymore but... what just happened?

Karma: "You know what? I think I'll like it here after all."

He smiled, but we all knew that it was not a good sign coming from Karma.

Karma: "By the way, what's the surname of the family you'll be living with?"

Rio: "Wait, let me check..."

Rio looked at her phone, looking up the information.

Rio: "It's the Yuuki family..."

Hearing that, we all stopped for a moment.

Nagisa: "Just like..."

Kaede: "...Ryoto, but it could be a coincidence."

Karma: "Let's ask the expert then. Ritsu, can you connect Ryoto's phone?"

Since Ryoto had disappeared, Ritsu couldn't find his or Lala's phone anymore. It's like they vanished from this world.

Ritsu: "Please wait a moment."

Ritsu tried to connect to his phone, and we waited in anticipation.

Ritsu: "I found him..."

Our eyes went wide, but Ritsu didn't finish yet.

Ritsu: "...kinda. The data is saying that it's the same phone, but it's slightly different. I can't explain it properly."

Rio: "So what are the chances that it's him?"

Ritsu: "90%."

There was a silence which Karma broke.

Karma: "There's no use thinking about it. We'll know when we visit, and if he's there, we'll kick his ass for vanishing on us."

Rio: "Yeah, I'm on board! He didn't even take us on a single date!"

And so we went to the Yuuki household. Even from far away, we could see a big plant with a mouth full of teeth.

Nagisa: "Are you sure that we are going in the right direction?"

Rio: "Apparently..."

What's stranger was that we even asked some neighbors about it, but they didn't see anything worrying about it. They said that it's some kind of exotic plant and it doesn't harm anyone.

The more we are in this town, the stranger it gets.

After arriving at Rio's and mine new home, we immediately noticed the plant was living in its garden.

It looks like even here, we draw trouble.

We rang the bell at the front door and waited for an answer.

After a short wait, the door was opened by a girl younger than us.

Mikan: "Yes? How can I help you?"

Kaede: "I-is it Yuuki household? My name is Kaede Kayano, and this is Rio Nakamura. We are supposed to live here starting today."

I was feeling nervous. It was possible that it was Ryoto's house, and if that's the case, the girl in front of me was someone close to him. Maybe his little sister.

Mikan: "Ah, was it today? Sorry, it must have slipped my mind, but wasn't there supposed to be only two of you?"

She looked at Karma and Nagisa.

Karma: "Don't worry about us. We are just accompanying them."

Makin: "I see. By the way I'm Mikan Yuuki. Forgot to introduce myself earlier."

She invited us inside.

Mikan: "You are lucky that no one is home right now."

That came out of nowhere.

Rio: "Why?"

Mikan seemed to hesitate if she should say what she meant or not.

Mikan: "You see, my brothers aren't exactly what you would consider normal..."

Rio: "You don't need to worry about it. We are used to weirdness."

Mikan: "One of my brothers could slip and strip any girl in front of him in mere seconds."

She said without changing her expression.

Karma: "Our teacher could change someone's clothes 20 times in one minute just to photograph them in every each of them."

Karma seemed to take it as a challenge.

Mikan didn't know how to respond to that.

Mikan: "...Good for you?"

She said with uncertainty.

Karma: "Hey, I have a question. What are the names of your brothers if you don't mind sharing."

Mikan: "Sure, Rito and Ryoto. Why do you ask?"

Hearing the name that we wanted to hear, Karma smiled the way he does when he plans to mess with someone.

Karma: "Just to be sure. Is he slightly taller than me, muscular but lean, brown hair, and has his eyes closed the whole time?"

Mikan: "...Yes, do you know him?"

She started sounding a bit suspicious, and rightfully so. Karma looked and sounded very suspicious, and it did not help that his smile widened even more.

Karma took out his phone.

Karma: "Let me show you some videos."
