The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 62: Home visit

(Ryoto's pov)

Irina ran away from class, and the class started studying independently. I, however, took a nap. It reminded me of how I needed to sleep during the lessons before I got 'Hentai protagonist stamina B'. Good times.

At PE, we played a volleyball-like game with knives instead of hands. I held back so I would send anyone to the hospital. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Irina and Karasuma. The latter was trying to show something. It can only mean one thing... character development.

Kaede: "What are you thinking about?"

Ryoto: "Nothing important, but tomorrow will be interesting."

Kaede: "Is that so? And how do you know this?"

Ryoto: "Just my intuition."

Rio: "Talking about something interesting?"

Rio appeared between Kaede and me, hanging by both of our necks.

Rio: "Oh, by the way, can I go to your apartment today?"

Ryoto: "Why?"

Rio: "Why not? Kaede would join too, right?"

Kaede: "Me too?"

Rio: "There will be sweets."

Kaede: "I'll come! I mean, please let me come!"

Kaede had stars in her eyes on the mention of sweets.

Ryoto: "How do you know there will be sweets?"

Kaede: "There won't be?"

She asked with a sad tone. Even her hair tied in pigtails dropped the same way her mood did.

Ryoto: "*Sigh* Fine."

Rio & Kaede: "Yay!"

They high-fived each other.

Well, I don't mind it that much. It's just not interesting in a way.

Ryoto: "Sure, but we still need to do groceries first."

Their great mood dropped slightly, but nonetheless, they agreed.

We met Nakama-San near the store. She was supporting herself with a cane, but if someone would make a mistake to think she's weak, that someone would regret it.

Ryoto: "Good afternoon Nakama-san."

Nakama: "Good afternoon to you too, Ryoto-chan. I see you are a company today."

Ryoto: "Yes, they wanted to visit my home, but I needed to buy some things first, so here we are."

Nakama: "I see, I see. It's nice being young."

After a short battle, both girls were tired, but we decided that they'd rest there since I lived nearby.

We walked in the direction of my apartment, which was on the 3rd floor. When we stopped in front of my door, I took out the key to the apartment, put it inside the keyhole, and opened the door revealing... nothing out of the ordinary. There wasn't much furniture besides the basics. It almost looked empty.

Fortunately for girls, there was a single sofa in the living room, and near it was a small coffee table.

The girl looked around for a bit.

Kaede: "It looks..."

Rio: "Empty. Just empty."

Ryoto: "I don't need too much stuff in my home."

Rio: "There is no personality in this room. Wait here, I'll check out other rooms."

She runs off to see the rest of my apartment. Kaede, on the other hand, sat on the sofa. I went to the kitchen and returned with my homemade pudding shortly after.

Kaede: "Pudding!!?"

Ryoto: "Yeah. I tried some new recipes, and yesterday I made some pudding."

She happily started eating, and while she was at it, she criticized my dish. I took some notes as well. Kaede was very knowledgeable about deserts, so I took this chance to learn.

Sime time has passed, but Rio hasn't returned. The apartment wasn't that big, so I had no idea what took her so long to explore it.

I went to my room, and Kaede followed. There we found Rio, who was searching for something.

Rio: "It must be somewhere..."

Ryoto: "If I were you, I would look under the bed."

Rio: "I already looked there. Besides, it's too obvious."

Rio didn't even look back but just a few seconds later.

Rio: "...Hey Ryoto..."

Ryoto: "What are you doing, Rio?"

Rio: "I was looking around, but when I walked into your room, I had the urge to look for your secret sash, hehe."

Ryoto: "So you really take me for a person who hides porn in his room?"

Rio: "You aren't the most open individual, so I thought that maybe you have some kind of secret fetish that you don't want to share with anyone. I admit, my curiosity won over me."

She looked guilty for what she had done. I didn't really care about that, so I forgave her.

We returned to the living room, and I offered pudding to Rio as well. I think she thinks she broke my trust as she was feeling down.

'Am I so emotionally unstable for her to worry that much?'

Karen: "Yes."

'Not true. I didn't hug my pillow to get similar warmth to Lala's body for a week.'

Karen: "..."

We spent some time talking, and we played some cards. I didn't have any other game, so we were doomed to play cards. Thankfully, I knew a few games, so we didn't get bored too quickly.

The next day we waited for the English lesson. We were talking about mundane things. Irina walked into the classroom full of confidence. She took a chalk and wrote 'You're incredible in bed'. I almost choked seeing that, and when she said to repeat that to the whole class, I couldn't hold it in anymore.

Irina started explaining how to learn a foreign language fast and what method to use. Her class wouldn't be about how to pass tests, but she would teach us conversation techniques that will be useful in the future.

The class quickly forgave her after announcing that she would quit the assassination if we couldn't view her as a teacher. Unfortunately for her, she would be called Bitch-sensei, and no matter what she would do, that would stay with her for the rest of her teaching career.

(Tadaomi's pov)

I have a file in front of me. Right now, it's closed, and the only thing I could see was a photo of a boy and his name, Ryoto Yuuki.

No matter how much I read this file, nothing changes. Everything checks out. He could speak Russian because he lived in Russia with his parents when he was younger. Even though his record is clean, my instincts are warning me that there is more than meets the eye.

I send some of my men to watch over him for some time.

He lives alone at the moment, and his parents are working overseas. He gets a monthly allowance and is doing groceries regularly. He rarely eats out as he cooks for himself. He even invited my men to eat with him, and he gives them lollipops on some occasions. He waves at them every morning and evening. Is he trying to tell us that he is aware of the people watching him but why?

Thinking about it doesn't help in a way at the moment, so I shifted my thoughts to Yuuki's parents. Obviously, he isn't a straightforward child, especially his eyes. It's possible that he was part of some sort of experiment.

I took out my phone and dialed a number.

Tadaomi: "Hello? Gather all possible information about Ryoto Yuuki's parents."
