132 The weakness of every husband is his wife

(Ryoto's pov)

Before we left, I said my goodbyes to Jugemu and thanked him for the help. I really appreciate it.

We were walking in silence as everything we wanted to say at home.

There Sephie knocked on the door and waited until Mikan opened the door. Seeing some unfamiliar faces, she looked at Lala and me, and seeing that I was injured, she widened her eyes.

Mikan: "Ryoto, what happened!?"

She quickly got next to me and examined me. Sephie, on the other hand, was the one who answered her question.

Sephie: "It would be my husband's fault, and that is why we would like to apologize."

She bowed her head and forced Gid to do the same by pushing his head downwards. Gid didn't like it but didn't refute it in any way besides an angry grunt.

Mikan: "And who are you?"

Ryoto: "Lala's parents. We'll discuss everything inside."

Mikan then let everyone inside, and while she prepared some snacks, the rest of us seated ourselves in the living room.

There we talked about how Sephie already knew about everything as Zastin reported to her as well as soon as Gid flew to Earth. That's why she got here so fast.

Also, my engagement to Lala became official, but I've been warned that it won't stop some people from attacking me since if I die, Lala won't be engaged anymore.

I also won't become the ruler of Deviluke until I at least graduate high school. I could feel that bit was just to punish Gid even more, and he knew that as well. He was fuming with anger, but one look from Sephie made him harmless as a puppy.

Gid tried to explain that he only did what he did to test me out once again, but he was quickly shut down by Sephie.

They also earned me about the side effects of Devilukean pregnancy, but I've got that already covered.

Sephie: "Now that we are here, I should also apologize to your parents for putting you in danger."

Ryoto: "Don't worry about it. They aren't home most of the time. My dad works as a mangaka and is rarely home because of his deadlines, and mom works overseas."

Karen: "Wow, it sounds sad when you say it out loud."

'Does it? I don't even notice anymore.'

Hearing this, Sephie hugged my head and put it on her breast. I wasn't even feeling lustful at the moment. I was too shocked to react in any way.

Sephie: "You poor thing. You can call me mom if you want. After all, we are family now."

Ryoto: "..."

I didn't know what to say, but I've got a genius idea to annoy Gid.

Is it petty? Yes. Do I care? No.

Ryoto: "Can I call Gid papa then?"

Sephie: "Of course, you can!"

Gid: "What!!?"

Gid wanted to protest, but one glare from Sephie shut him up.

I turned to Gid.

Ryoto: "Let's get along from now on, papa."

I put out my left hand, waiting for a handshake. I covered it in Haki, just in case. I noticed that only I and maybe Alme could see Haki. To others, it's invisible, so they won't catch me doing this.

Gid: "...You've got balls, kid. Let's hope that you won't regret it."

He grabbed my hand, and while we both smiled at each other, trying to crush our hands during this handshake.

He was stronger than me, so I even tried to make my hand hot with fire bending, but it wasn't working on him. I mean, if my blood didn't work immediately on him, why would fire?

---

For now, they decided to leave, but as she said before, Sephie will become stay-home grandma once the child is born, leaving Gid with all responsibilities of a ruler.

I think she wants to make up for not being the best mother to her daughters by being the best possible grandma.

Now that we were done with the discussion, I decided to excuse myself to go to Mikado-sensei to fix my arm. It still hurts, and I should probably go to the doctor right away.

So that's exactly what I did, hoping that she was at home.

I knocked on the door of her house, and Oshizu opened the door.

Ryoto: "Hey, Oshizu. Is Mikado-sensei inside? I want her to check up on my arm and maybe other things as well."

She welcomed me inside and guided me to where Mikado was.

Ryoto: "Mikado-sensei, sorry for coming unannounced on Christmas, but I need your help."

Right now, I was wearing a long sleeve jacket, so I took it off, revealing my right arm, which was a bit swelled and red because of muscle straining.

Ryouko: "What did you do? It looks like you have torn the muscles in your arm. For you to do that, you wouldn't need to try lift I don't know how many tons."

She was calm. As a doctor, she probably witnessed more severe injuries. As she examined my arm to see if anything more was wrong and what kind of treatment I needed, I dropped a bomb.

Ryoto: "I fought Gid."

Hearing this, she stopped all her actions a d looked at me.

Ryouko: "What did you just say?"

Ryoto: "Lala's father found out that she is pregnant, and he came to Earth to test me out, but I managed to piss him off during our fight by punching him in the face. Not my most brilliant move, but damn, it was satisfying.

I was forced to defend myself from his tail laser, which ended up with my arm in this state. And while being on the topic, I would also like if you checked if he didn't hit me too hard anywhere. I don't feel much pain beside my right arm, but better safe than sorry."

She just pinched the bridge of her nose, hearing what I had to say.

Ryouko: "Can't you get out of the troubles?"

Ryoto: "Not my fault, really."

Ryouko: "Says the guy who punched the emperor of the Milky Way Galaxy."

Ryoto: "Touche."

After the examination, she started treatment, but I should refrain from any excessive movements. I was apparently lucky that my muscles were only partially torn, so it will heal in a few weeks.

There also wasn't anything wrong with anything else, so that's good. There were only small bruises on my face that would disappear after a few days.

I will need to wear an elastic bandage for that time as well and periodically apply ice on my arm.

After I returned home, I decided to get the rewards I rightfully earned.

__________

*PING*

*QUEST COMPLETED*

Reward: 10 000 SP, 2 gacha tickets.

__________

As soon as I heard the notifications, I used the first gacha ticket, and as always, the wheel started spinning.

It landed on 'Zanpakuto - Zangetsu'

I'm not a swordsman, but it's still a powerful sword. The question is, which version is it?

To find out, I summoned my new weapon, and to my surprise, it looked like an ordinary Asauchi, a nameless sword.

I'm lost.

There wasn't a time when Zangetsu looked like this, even at the beginning of the story. Maybe I need to communicate with it to gain some kind of shape, but that's for the future. Now I have gacha to play.

For the second time, the wheel spun, and this time it landed 10x random item.

Huh?

By playing the gacha, I got more gacha?

Karen: "Let me explain. If you get an item from the gacha, it will be automatically transferred to you and won't be in a safe space until you decide to use it. The only exception is if the item you get is too big for the space you are currently on, so don't be scared and do a ten roll!"

I decided to draw the items and the wheel, now slightly different than the one before, appeared. Most of the items were useless as one would expect, like a pack of screws, a wheel, piece of cloth, but there were also some interesting ones. The most interesting but most dangerous was a green, ancient-looking mask simply called 'The Mask'.

I didn't plan on putting it on, so I hid it in my room and went on with my evening.
