Uninvited Guest

In supermarket.

Akira was pushing the trolley, and Yotsuba would occasionally stop at the window display, and put things in the cart.

"Tonight, what do you want to eat?"

Holding chicken and fish, Yotsuba asked for advice.

"Whatever, Yotsuba-Nee. I'm not picky about food."

"Then tonight we eat clams."

"Ahem, chicken meat is on sale, let's just choose this."

Akira grabbed the chicken meat from Yotsuba's hand, then put it into the trolley.

Seeing this scene, Yotsuba smiled slightly. Her little brother doesn't like shellfish, so she makes fun of him.

Having decided that the main menu for dinner tonight would be teriyaki, Yotsuba bought complementary ingredients such as sauces, spices, etc.

"Let's go to the snack area, I'm afraid Itsuki-Nee's snacks have run out."

"Akira-chan is so biased, you take care of Itsuki too much."

Yotsuba was somewhat envious of Akira's attention towards Itsuki too much.

"Among the quintuplets, Itsuki-Nee's personality is the most childish. At her age, she still enjoys watching Magical Girls."

"So Akira-chan doesn't think of Itsuki as an older sister and treats her like a little sister?"

"Um."

"Itsuki will be angry if she hears that."

Yotsuba was speechless, but she couldn't deny it either.

Compared to the quintuplets as the older sister, Akira acts more like the older brother, due to his mature attitude.

When the two of them passed the fruit selling area, Akira's footsteps stopped.

"Akira-chan?"

Yotsuba followed his gaze, and saw numerous red fruits the size of a tennis ball, tied together.

Seeing this, she understood. Then she took five bunches of rambutans and put them in the cart.

"Although it is a bit expensive, we are not short on money."

Yotsuba misunderstood, she thought that her little brother was hesitant to buy rambutan fruit because it was expensive. She still does not know the financial assets that Chamber has accumulated.

Rambutan is a fruit that comes from Southeast Asia, such as Indonesia. And it is a tropical plant, so a four-season country like Japan is not suitable for planting rambutan. To meet demand, rambutan is imported from Southeast Asian countries, especially Indonesia.

Akira even saw a label that said "Made in Indonesia" on the rambutan stalk.

Then the two arrived at the snack area, and Akira put lots of snacks like Pocky, Oreos, potato chips, etc, onto the trolley.

"What else?" asked Akira.

"Nino asked to buy mascara and facial moisturizer." Yotsuba said while checking the messages on the cell phone.

She asked her other sisters if they would like to buy things for them.

"Only Nino-Nee? What about Ichika-Nee and Miku-Nee?"

"Akira-chan didn't ask about Itsuki?"

"At most, Itsuki-Nee will buy meat buns and snacks, right?"

"Correct."

Yotsuba was a little dismayed to know how knowledgeable Akira was about Itsuki. However, that feeling of jealousy only lasted for a moment, before she returned to her cheerful nature.

The two headed to the women's gear for sale area.

"By the way, which beach did Akira-chan teleport to?"

Seeing that no one was around, Yotsuba whispered softly.

"Yotsuba-Nee doesn't know?"

Akira looked at Yotsuba with a subtle look.

"Eh, maybe I've visited that beach?"

Yotsuba closed her eyes, and tried to remember. However, she gave up after not being able to remember.

"We go to the beach every year."

Akira gave a hint for Yotsuba to remember.

"Every year..."

Yotsuba's words stopped, her eyes lit up, and a guess emerged in her mind.

"The beach on the Izu Peninsula!"

"Yotsuba-Nee is right."

"Incredible... Akira-chan can teleport that far."

The distance between Tokyo and the Izu Peninsula is just over 162 kilometers. Even if you take the Shinkansen, it will take almost an hour at the very least.

Yotsuba, who had just been exposed to a supernatural phenomenon, didn't expect her little brother to be so overpowered.

Akira smiled faintly, and accepted the compliment with a calm heart.

The two of them spent 20 minutes at the supermarket, after paying for groceries. They left the supermarket, and walked towards the apartment.

"Isn't that heavy? Let me bring another bag."

"No need, I can lift a skyscraper. These groceries are as light as a goose feather for me."

"Akira-chan is too much."

Yotsuba was skeptical. She assumed that her little brother's only ability was teleportation.

Due to the commotion that Akira caused at the beach earlier, he didn't have time to explain in detail all of his powers.

Keep in mind, its lifting ability is Class G. In other words, it can lift a weight of 1 billion tons up to 999 billion tons.

"When I'm being honest, why doesn't anyone believe it. Sigh~..."

Akira sighed, and lamented that the world wasn't fair to honest people.

"Hai! Hai! Hai! I trust Akira-chan, don't show such disappointed expressions."

Yotsuba tiptoed over, patted Akira's head, and comforted him.

"I'm not a child, this is embarrassing."

Despite complaining, Akira did not dodge Yotsuba's action.

"Akira-chan often does this to Onee-chan, now you know how embarrassing it is."

Yotsuba puffed out her chest, and was delighted by his reaction.

The two of them were walking while chatting, suddenly Akira stretched out his hand in front of Yotsuba.

Yotsuba was confused, had not had time to ask, and she realized the awkward situation.

Somehow, the neighborhood that was originally bustling with pedestrians had become quiet, and there were only two of them left.

This was the first time he had experienced this strange event, subconsciously, he grabbed Akira's hand.

"Calm down, Yotsuba-Nee. There is no danger, this is the work of my acquaintances."

"Acquaintances?"

Yotsuba's uneasiness eased a bit after hearing this, at least the people who came were not enemies.

She had heard the story of Ichika and Miku who were kidnapped by the Stray Devils, and were saved by Akira. Yotsuba never thought that there were so many dangers lurking in this world.

"Le Fay, come out! It's not like you."

Akira raised the volume of his voice.

"Uwawawa….I'm sorry, Akira-sama. I didn't want to do this either, but Vali insisted on testing you."

After her identity was exposed, Le Fay deactivated the stealth magic that had veiled her, and she immediately apologized.

"I know you didn't do this on purpose. Long time no see, Arthur, you look serious as usual."

Akira glanced at the youth beside Le Fay and greeted him.

He is Arthur Pendragon, Le Fay's older brother, and also a descendant of the Knight King, the legendary King Arthur of Great Britain.

Arthur is a bespectacled young man with blond hair and wearing a business suit. At his waist hung a sword.

"Long time no see, Akira. Looks like we came at the wrong time."

Pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose, Arthur glanced at the girl behind Akira, and admitted his mistake.

"What is your purpose in looking for me? You didn't just come to say hello, did you?"

Akira narrowed his eyes at the people in front of him.

Besides Arthur and Le Fay, there were two men and one woman.

He recognized the identities of the three people, namely Vali Lucifer, Bikou, and Kuroka.

Their arrival gave rise to speculations in Akira's mind, he roughly understood the purpose of the other party's visit.
