The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 125: Stopping Zastin

(Ryoto's pov)

My mind went blank, thinking about how to get out of this situation. Zastin is loyal to Gid, so he'll tell him what he heard now.

Jugemu didn't help me with that as he grabbed me by the shoulder and shook me. I didn't change my expression the whole time, so I bet it looked ridiculous.

Jugemu: "Why didn't you tell me!!? I'll be a good uncle! I even brought a fresh fish for dinner. The old lady in the fish market said it'll be delicious!"

Zastin, on the other hand, was so shocked that he was just muttering some things.

Zastin: "Lala-sama is... pregnant...? But... but she is just a child..."

Maybe I'll distract him.

I opened my eyes and let Zastin meet Mil-tan, but... it didn't work. I mean, it worked, but Zastin just ignored the illusion. He was so deep in his thoughts that his mind didn't even register what he saw.

Huh. Good to know that it can happen.

No! Focus, Ryoto. If he registers what he just heard, I'll be dead. I'm not even close to being ready for Gid. Not at all.

Should I knock him out?

Karen: "Yes!!!"

'Someone sounds excited.'

Karen: "As of late, there wasn't a lot of violence. Sure, you fought Alme and all, but mindless violence is always the best and most fun. Though I must say watching Rito fail his confession was entertaining as hell."

'Wait, you watched the whole thing?'

Karen: "How could I miss it. I even recorded it."

'...Send me the recording later.'

Karen: "Sure."

Zastin: "Ryoto-dono..."

Shit! Karen distracted me long enough for Zastin to recover.

Karen: "I didn't distract you..."

Zastin: "Is it true? Is Lala-sama really pregnant?"

I wanted to deny but his eyes begged for truth, and something inside me couldn't lie to him.

Ryoto: "Yes... She is one month pregnant."

Zastin: "..."

There was silence as Zastin was digesting the news.

Zastin: "...I'm reporting this to Gid-sama."

Ryoto: "Stop!!!"

I shot webs at him to stop him from moving, but he was stronger than me and kept moving to the exit.

Zastin: "I... must... report... to... Gid-sama..."

Ryoto: Goddammit, Zastin! Listen to me! If you report, he'll kill me!"

He was dragging me across the room, and I was destroying the floor, trying to stick to it in the hopes it would slow him down.

I looked at Jugemu, who was waiting quietly for us to finish.

Ryoto: "Jugemu, don't just stand there. Help me!!!"

Jugemu: "But if I'll help you, Zastin-san will get in trouble."

Ryoto: "And if you don't help me, Lala's dad will destroy either only me or this entire planet!!! So hurry up!!!"

Jugemu, in the end, helped me in stopping Zastin, but even with our strength combined, we couldn't stop him. That's the Devilukean strength for you.

But that's not time to admire his strength!

I was progressively using more webs to stop him, but the problem was that the building wasn't durable enough to withstand this kind of force, so I gave up on this idea, but a new one was born inside my head.

Before, my illusions didn't work because he was too shocked, but now he is back to 'normal', so I tried my luck.

Zastin: "What!!?"

It worked! There was a chance, but he quickly closed his eyes so he wouldn't be distracted by anything.

Why is he so determined right now!?

Zastin was walking slowly but surely while Jugemu and I tried to stop him, but none of us noticed that Zastin was walking onto the train tracks.

*BEEEEB*

The train was incoming, so I jumped away, dragging Jugemu with me using my webs.

I intentionally left Zastin behind, and he was, of course, hit by a fast-moving train. He flew a few meters by the sheer force of the hit.

Jugemu looked worried.

Jugemu: "Is he okay?"

Ryoto: "I don't know, but if he didn't get amnesia, the next train is coming in half an hour."

Jugemu looked at me, disappointed. Why does his look hurt more than any blade? He can't even see on land!

As Jugemu not so secretively was judging me, Zastin got up in the blood. He doesn't have his armor at the moment, so his durability dropped, but I don't think the armor would help against a train. They are his kryptonite, after all.

Zastin: "Must... report... back..."

For Rob's sake...

Ryoto: "Zastin!!! Can you listen to me for a minute!?"

It made him stop, so hopefully, he'll listen.

Ryoto: "I'm not asking you to not report to him. Just give me some time. At least until January. At that time, I'll be ready for whatever is coming from God. I don't ask you to betray him."

Please, please, please! Whoever is listening, just make him agree. I don't care if you are God, an angel, or a devil. I can't deal with Gid right now.

OK, I could, but it would be incredibly difficult, and it would create more destruction than I would like to.

Karen: "Noooo!!! She'll use it!!!"

'Who are you talking abo-?'

Truck-san: "Your wish is granted..."

Zastin: "*Sigh* Can I talk with Lala-sama first before I make that decision?"

Ryoto: "I don't see why not?"

Truck-san: "...Although I didn't do anything, teehee. But I'll take the reward regardless. I'll tell you what I want at a later date. Bye."

Karen: "We are doomed."

'Oh, come on, Karen. What's the worst that can happen?'

Karen: "And the flag has been raised..."

Hearing that, I realized what I had just done and paled instantly. But thankfully, I had a solution nearby.

I walked towards the train tracks and sat in the middle.

Karen: "What are you doing?"

'Waiting for the next train.'

(Alme's pov)

I was currently learning from manga in a manga cafe. As Nii-san said, there is a lot of knowledge in these books, but I won't act immediately. There were a few events that I often saw in these mangas. Running into someone with a piece of toast in your mouth, kabedon, festival date, watching sakura leaves falling, and more.

Maybe I should ask Nii-san to act overprotective? Or maybe I should act more like so-called yandere. They are apparently very popular.

But first I'll try something at Christmas, which is soon. Christmas events are significant in these books, but what if I combine almost everything in one day? Would the effect multiply?

I can't wait to try it!
