After reading the description of [Gift: Last Future of Embryo], Akira's mouth opened wide, and he pinched his thigh to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

"Ouch it hurts, this isn't a dream... This is too overpowered, it's like Saitama's power, but weaker."

"I must have exhausted my fortune in this life to obtain this."

Akira lay limp on the bed, because he was too happy. He didn't know how to express it, he simply didn't have the bigger ambitions of a typical protagonist.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't like getting stronger.

"The system is so powerful, I can control my power. Otherwise, this power is bound to cause a lot of trouble."

Raising his right hand, he clenched his fist. Akira could feel a great power coursing through his body. Luckily, he could control it perfectly thanks to the system, so he didn't have to worry about his power getting out of hand.

"Oh, right, what is Cosmic Velocity?"

Remembering the speed he had after obtaining [Gift: Last Future of Embryo], he picked up the cellphone on the table and started typing the words 'Cosmic Velocity Word' into Google.

Opening the top search, Akira read the explanation of Cosmic Velocity in a low voice.

"Cosmic Velocity is the initial speed that must be prepared to launch a spacecraft into outer space.... And the Third Cosmic Velocity is 16.7 km/sec."

"This is crazy... Am I going too fast?"

Taking a deep breath, Akira let out a long breath, and his excitement immediately died down.

"I shouldn't be too arrogant, [Gift: Last Future of Embryo] did give me great power, but it has been just brute strength without any techniques."

"Looks like I'll have to ask my father to find a martial arts teacher."

Not wanting to waste [Gift: Last Future of Embryo]'s potential by only knowing how to punch and kick randomly, Akira decides to learn martial arts.

"Then for the last item."

Akira clicked on [Breast Milk] to see the item's description.

...

[Breast Milk]

[Ability: Anyone who drinks this breast milk will receive an increase in strength]

[Remarks: This is Tomo Yamanobe's milk, which has very high quality Soma, it is at the Maria tier]

[Origin: Seikon no Qwaser Anime]

...

"Oh, so this is an item from that lewd anime."

Retrieving [Breast Milk] in the Inventory, a bottle containing 200 ml of white milk appeared in his palm.

Looking at [Breast Milk], Akira was hesitating about whether he should drink it or not.

"Ah, come on, this isn't like the first time I've had breast milk."

Considering that Rena had breastfed him as a baby, Akira no longer hesitated. Opening the bottle cap, bringing the mouth of the bottle to his mouth, he drank the breast milk.

*Glup Glup Glup*

Akira tasted the sweet taste and creamy texture resembling almond milk, finished the bottle of breast milk quickly, and licked his lips.

"It's more delicious than I thought, worthy of high quality breast milk."

Throwing the bottle into the trash, he waited for the power-up mentioned in the description. After a few minutes of waiting, he did not feel any change.

"This is strange, usually the skills and items of the system work immediately. What is going on?"

Thinking about it carefully, Akira guessed at a possibility.

"Maybe it's because my strength was too strong after receiving [Gift: Last Future of Embryo], so [Breast Milk] didn't significantly increase strength?"

"That's the most logical explanation."

"Hoam~... After drinking milk, I feel sleepy. A child's body is troublesome..." Akira complained.

Lying on the bed, pulling up the covers, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Sunday, July 30, 2009.

Sitting on the Shinkansen seat, Akira sits next to Ichika while playing PSP with Miku.

Yotsuba and Itsuki sat together and ate snacks while chatting. Meanwhile, their mother of six, Nakano Rena, sat with Nino.

"I lost again, Akira is too good at playing games." Miku no longer had any intention of playing the game.

"Akira-chan, open your mouth."

Ichika brought the chocolate closer to her little brother's mouth.

Akira opened his mouth, then Ichika gave him food and talked while eating.

"It's not that I'm good at playing, it's just that Miku Onee-chan is too bad." Akira stated the facts.

"Akira bullied me."

Miku stretched out her hand to poke Akira's cheek.

"Cough Cough..."

Due to Miku's actions, Akira choked and coughed.

"Drink water, Akira-chan."

Ichika handed over a bottle of mineral water.

Taking mineral water from Ichika's hand, Akira immediately took a sip of the drink while Ichika patted his back.

"Miku, don't play pranks while Akira is eating." Nino scolded Miku.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."

Miku lowered her head guiltily.

"Nino is right, there are 3 times when you are not allowed to prank other people, the first is when eating, the second is during worship, and the third is when you are sleeping. Everyone understands, right?"

Rena, as a mother, not only advises Miku, but also all her children.

Ichika: "Understood, mom."

Nino: "I understand you, mom."

Miku: "Un, I won't do it again."

Yotsuba: "I will remember well, mom."

Itsuki: "Nyam Nyam Nyam... I understand, don't worry, mom."

Itsuki answered while chewing the bread in his hand.

"Are you okay, Akira?" Rena looked at her son with concern.

"I'm a fine mom." Akira replied with a smile and indicated that he was fine.

"That's good." Rena felt relieved

.

"How much longer until we get to Grandpa's house?" Asked Akira, who was bored sitting on the train.

"One more hour. Be patient, Akira." Rena comforted her son.

"Um." Akira nodded.

Today is the start of summer vacation, which starts at the end of July and continues throughout August. Rena takes her children on vacation to her father's house, or Grandpa Akira and the Quintuplets.

Nakano Maruo can't go with it because of his busy life as a doctor and hospital director. He would catch up in mid-August, so Akira and the others left first on the Shinkansen.

Akira and the Quintuplets' grandfather is not surnamed Nakano, Nakano Maruo is the husband of Rena's second marriage, therefore Rena uses her husband's surname.

The Nakano Family's destination is the Izu Peninsula, where Akira and the Quintuplets' grandfather lives.

The Izu Peninsula is located on the south side of Shizuoka Prefecture and borders the Pacific Ocean. It has hot springs and coastal resources, mainly fishing and tourism industries, and the pace of life is quite slow.

Rena's father's name is Takashi Arai, who lives on the Izu Peninsula and manages Toraiwa Hot Springs.

[Author's note: Rena's father's name has never been revealed, it's just a made-up name by the author]

Akira and the Quintuplets visit their grandfather every year, and this year is the same.

Akira thinks this will be his usual visit, but he will soon face a tragedy that will change his outlook on the world he lives in.
