Casual time

Ren had just reached his apartment building. He had parked his car and stepped inside the building. Only a single plastic bag was in his hand.

A thought briefly went through his head.

'I need a flying ability…'

He had a thing smile at that thought. He fixed his clothes, tucked his keys into his pocket and continued forward.

'I… need to speak with Isaki about Robin…' Ren had this brief thought as he momentarily stood in his place.

The fact that he was playing with other girls was known to them… but Robin just like Isaki had feelings for him more than a shallow sex-friend relationship.

He needed to speak about that with her too. Robin was on board, wishing to support his dreams with her own increasing strength, and Isaki deserved to know the same especially as she was the first to develop feelings for him.

The two of them were the only girls that he can say with 100% certainty that he does like and not just want as sexual partners. They were the ones he spent the most time with after all. Not to mention Robin was definitely his crush from her anime world, One Piece.

He then continued on to the elevator.

He had asked Robin to come to eat with him and Isaki, to talk to her about that with the two being in the same place, but Robin said to leave that to another time.

Although she had agreed with him, he felt she was still adapting to how things would be going for now.

As for now, the two lovebirds had already separated after making their big announcement toward each other. He drove her to her house before he made a detour and got back.

But they hadn't separated right after confessing to each other. Rather they spent more time together.

Robin and Ren continued chatting after confessing about their emotions and feelings for each other and just enjoyed relaxing with each other.

It was very pleasant for them both, and it didn't become sexual after that, they just talked about various things.

The first thing was her explaining in even greater detail than before about her past.

'She did appear to be anxious about something at that time…'

When they had entered the gate that time, she had been very distraught and Ren had guessed that she would have definitely entered to try and stop the gate from overloading. Even if she was weak.

Turns out she didn't act hasty and entered with them all. But throughout the whole experience, Ren detected her feelings and anxiousness.

Only today did he understand what was wrong.

Robin showed her huge trust in him and opened up completely.

She had explained that the city where she had been born, had been all destroyed and razed to the ground. By non-other than an irregular gate.

Her city didn't have many strong heroes at the time, only a few B ranks, as most of the residents had powers in relation to science and other non-fighting abilities.

The gate was A rank, and only a few B ranks were present to do anything.

But in the end, all efforts were wasted as by the time reinforcement came everything was already over.

An S-rank hero had moved as fast as possible to provide help, and the survivors were small in numbers.

Among the children belonging to those few survivors was… Robin.

It was a heavy subject, and Robin was holding her tears as she hugged Ren, but she very quickly gave him a smile full of sunshine.

She felt better after laying it out all on him.

And after that, Ren noticed that she became more outspoken than before as if she had laid a heavy burden off her back.

And their talk continued on.

The other thing they talked about was their statuses.

A subject that brought them back to his trait.

Robin told him how her status had changed, and also explained her point of view on the matter. By emphasizing that any girl that would know about his trait would reach out to him. And that there was no need to gun for them on his own.

He was happy for her and promised to help her increase her rank even further which earned him a loving kiss.

Ren knew her point, as he had long ago understood how his trait was dangerous and very overpowered.

But he trusted in himself.

If anyone came at him he would know when to fight and when to run.

As to the hypothetical situation where something unexpected happens and he is stuck with no solution? Then what can he do?

He'll just have to get stronger quickly and reach a position where nothing can threaten him. Otherwise, he didn't want to burden himself with thinking about things and stuff he couldn't solve if they happened.

His solution was simply strength. Gain strength.

He eyed his status changes.

The elevator door closed as Ren entered it.

Then he turned to the mirror and copied the movement of one of his favorite characters from marvel does.

Doctor Strange.

He did a motion with both hands and then arms appeared on his body as if had many arms instead of just two.

He had acquired Robin's trait.

Blooming flowers. And the first thing he wanted to do with that ability was play like a kid.

'Eh, what's wrong with that?'

*Pew* *pew*

He looked at the mirror and started doing poses and just having fun.

Doing finger pistol signs as if he was shooting a gun and then using a few arms to fix his clothes creases and hair that was messed up.

He just kept having fun.

And if someone saw him, they would think that he was very childish.

On the other side of the door.

A guy and his girlfriend were waiting for the elevator to open.

The couple were pretty cute together.

*Ting*

The elevator door opened.

And the two observed a very handsome and tall guy that was very muscled and had an athletic build that left the guy feeling jealous.

That jealousy increased even more as he saw his girlfriend blushing a bit as she eyed the stranger even more.

But the guy appeared to be very tidy and had no visible evidence that he was playing inside whatsoever.

"A-Are you a superhero by any chance?" she even moved closer to Ren with an excited expression.

Her phone in her hand, ready to take a selfie with him if he replied yes.

The boyfriend wanted to cry tears of blood, as he was trying to pull her hand but she didn't budge. He could only settle down next to her and wish internally that she at least includes him in the pic and doesn't instead tell him to take a picture of her and this supposed superhero.

Ren meanwhile saw these two.

'I don't recognize them… must be visiting someone then…'

"I'm not actually haha" He denied as he sidestepped her and moved forward. He didn't want to say that he was, as he didn't want to be held there longer than necessary.

When he was near the guy, he winked at the guy and gave him a thumbs up.

The guy had anime tears in his eyes.

It appeared that this guy wouldn't steal his girl from him. He punched his chest.

Bro code.

He gave a discreet thumbs-up as he drove his disappointed girlfriend to enter the elevator.

Meanwhile with Ren.

He reached Isaki's door and knocked before opening the door with his given key.

"I'm home,"

*Fouish*

The sound of someone running reached his ear.

He smiled as he got on one knee.

And then when the person jumped at him he hugged her.

It was little Rina.

"Big bro, Ren, hehe" She was very happy as she saw her bigger brother.

Ren ruffled her head.

"Big bro brought you a gift," Ren grabbed the bag he had in his hand and took out a small cute bear toy.

It had a baby blue color and a strip of cloth tied like a bowtie around its neck.

"Toy?" (Toooyoo?) She cutely muttered and turned to see the said toy. Then her eyes lit up.

*Swish*

It was very fluffy and Ren could swear Rina had exhibited speed equal to an SSS rank at that moment before the toy was already being hugged by her.

"Hehe" She giggled happily as Ren took her in his arms and when to where he felt Isaki was. The kitchen.

She really loved to cook, and was most of the time preparing something.

"Welcome back Ren," She took off her oven gloves and inched closer to him.

Ren gave her a kiss on her lips, and then after he saw her get back to her cooking.

It was a natural thing they started doing for a while now. The two liked each other after all.

"Rina, you got a new toy? Oh, did you thank big brother?" She saw the toy in her daughter's hands as she put the glove again and took a plate off the oven.

She gave her daughter a smile and reminded her gently to thank Ren.

"Thank you big brotheeeer," Rina hugged him and planted a kiss on his cheeks. Giggling softly.

Ren smiled and ruffled her hair.

"Why don't you go ahead and go play? I'll come right after you," He told her.

He then set her on the ground allowing her to go play and watch TV.

"How is my Isaki doing?" Ren hugged Isaki from behind and planted a kiss on her cheeks.

Isaki turned a bit and gave him a kiss on his lips. This one was more sexual and the two swapped saliva and enjoyed each other.

Ren's hands then itched and he tried to pinch her butt, but as he did a spatula hit his hand.

"Not now, hmph" She fake glared at him.

"Haha" Ren laughed at that.

"Well then, I'll go play with Rina for a bit," He said as he followed after Rina to play with her.

Isaki just watched the two from the open kitchen with a gentle look before she got back to her work at hand.

The two kept playing for a while until Isaki was done preparing dinner.

A bit later.

"It's done," Isaki called for them.

"Let's go help mommy," Ren heard Isaki and carried little Rina in his arms and set her on the table in her place.

Ren went to help Isaki set the table, and then they all joined for a good dinner while playing with Rina and making the atmosphere happy and full of vibrance.

It was a good dinner, and Ren enjoyed her cooking.

She was truly worthy of a chef title as far as he knew.

And even Rina seemed satisfied with her little tummy slightly protruding.

But then after dinner, the little child needed some sleep as she grew tired from playing.

"It's time for bed honey," Isaki gently called for her daughter.

Rina was already tired from playing with Ren and was sleepy so Ren got up and held her as he brought her to kiss her mom goodnight.

Even Ren planted a kiss on her forehead.

But then as the two took her to her own room and set her on the bed…

A sleepy Rina looked at the two and said.

"Mommy, are you going to wrestle naked on the bed again with big brother?"

Came her innocent question which left the two petrified in place.
