Chapter 111: Meeting Old Friends

I sighed as I looked out the window of the plane.

"I thought you would be happier to see me, boy" - In front of me was a muscular man with a huge smile and a striking wrestler mask.

"It's nice to see you again Diego" - I smiled wryly.

When I got on the plane sent by Fortuna to go to the private island I met my wrestling teacher and Rachel's godfather, Diego Carlo.

There is a saying: 'Birds of the same feather fly together'.

Maybe it's because since I was a kid I've always been involved with criminals and even my first friend was a murderous thief, but somehow I can get along with people on the bad side of the law.

Diego and I became friends during my time at Yami. He is an interesting person who is not interested in controlling the world nor does he seek to be the strongest, he just wants to put on a good show and the idea of ​​a war between martial artists seemed exciting to him.

That is why seeing him on the plane I made Shigure, Sayo, Tsubaki, Yellow Queen, and the two psycho girls go to their seats while I went to the back of the plane to speak privately with Diego since he was not here for fight.

"Hahahaha don't be so distant boy! Now we are family hahahaha!" - Diego began to laugh loudly.

I am spending so much time with Navi that I have become more tolerant of noisy people so I smiled wryly and waited for Diego to finish laughing which took almost 10 minutes.

"I'm not going to call you father-in-law" - I rolled my eyes.

Even if he is practically Rachel's adoptive father, I see him more as a business partner and almost a friend.

On the other hand, I'm not surprised that he knows about my relationship with Rachel. In all of Yami, he is the subject least attached to the ideals of the group and he only seeks to create a show, I am sure that Diego finds my relationship with Rachel funny so he will not give her away and will only see how things develop, even he is take my side if I have a direct fight with Yami.

"Hahaha that's fine! It would be awkward if you do! " - Diego laughed again, but was able to calm down in a few seconds. - "Let's put that nonsense aside for now, this time you've caused a big problem boy"

That's obvious, I was considered Yami's future secret weapon, but now I not only escaped Jenazad's mind control, I also had one of Yami's most important experts follow me (Mildred).

As if that wasn't enough, I declared in front of the female bow master that I would become Yami's enemy.

I'm sure there are currently one or two Yami experts who wish to cut off my head, although there must also be some experts with their own ideas who have started to form plans to try to use me to the best of their ability.

"Your mouth says it's a problem, but your smile says something else" - I made an ironic expression, this man is having fun.

"Hahahaha you must have seen Ogata's expression when he heard the news! That idiot was proudly bragging that his disciple broke Jenazad's brainwashing techniques! " - Diego began to laugh out loud. - "The best was when Yami's armed section learned that Mildred left Yami to follow you! Tachibana's cocky face when he saw the list of tournament participants was worth gold! Hahahahaha, it's the first time I've seen someone go from red to green! "

Navi appeared next to me. - "Hey Listen! That bitch deserves it muahahahahaha! No one can covet the women of the Harem King! "

I couldn't help it and started laughing with Diego.

It is a known fact that my relationship with weapons expert Rin Tachibana is not good. Some suspected that he hated me since I'm dirtying the way of weapons since I also fight with bare hands, but Yami's upper echelons know that that idiot is jealous of me since I have a close relationship with Shigure.

He must have been furious as now that I was released from mind control it meant that I can go back to Shigure, which, what's more, Yellow Queen registered Shigure as my teacher for the Disciples Duel tournament so that idiot must already know that my relationship with Shigure became more solid than before.

Even though the situation is funny, I have to be careful. An idiot full of jealousy and who is also one of the strongest people in the world cannot be underestimated, the biggest problem is that Tachibana's jealousy will make the female swordmaster Raki Hoshinano jealous so she will also seek to eliminate Shigure.

Whatever, this will be a chance to get Raki into my harem and kill Tachibana, two birds with one stone.

After we both stopped laughing, Diego showed a more serious expression without losing his exaggerated smile. - "The bow master who informed us of your escape said that you were almost at the Master level, but Rachel mentioned that you are a Super Master so I will believe in Rachel, although even if you are strong you must be careful..."

I frowned. The fact that the bow master who accompanied me on the mission in Ukraine gave false information was strange.

Although during the mission I treated her well to develop feelings for me, she did not show the slightest reaction so I did not care.

If she did not report on my true strength it means that there is something that I have not realized.

It is also possible she would have had a good impression of me which turned into love due to my plot armor, but I cannot rule out that this is a trap set by people in Yami who have the cunning to create plans, everything is problematic .

I dropped the matter and kept listening to Diego.

"Not counting me, three Yami experts will come to see the tournament in person" - Diego raised three fingers in an exaggerated way. - "From Yami's armed division, Rin Tachibana and Raki Hoshinano will come, they not only come for you, if my guess is not wrong, both come to capture your teacher Shigure"

I sighed internally, one of my biggest worries finally happened, Yami wishes Shigure's forging skills, my Shigure, fucking Yami wants my wife...

Well fuck, I need to improve my self-control, losing my mind in rage is a weakness that I must not have.

Since I controlled my micro-expressions Diego did not notice my little moment of anger so he kept talking. - "I'm not clear if they will bring subordinates, but still, you must be careful since they will attack when the tournament ends or if you try to escape from the island before the end of the tournament"

I sighed. - "Thanks for the info"

"Heh, aren't you going to ask why I'm helping you?" - Diego showed a mocking smile making me roll my eyes at his antics.

"It's obvious, you want to see the show I'm going to give" - ​​I said sarcastically.

Actually that is not the only reason.

Diego is an emotional man and sees Rachel as his daughter so now that I am Rachel's husband, he will not let his daughter become a widow without a fight.

If the situation worsens, he will intervene to help me even if it makes him lose his place in Yami, of course, he will never admit it out loud since he is a tsundere idiot.

"Hahahaha I'm alive just for the show!" - Diego raised his arms in an exaggerated way, talking to this man is like being in a cheap play.

Are all wrestling wrestlers that passionate towards the show?

Whatever, I don't dislike it at all.

"You said three Yami experts would come" - I ignored his antics and continued with the talk. - "Tachibana and Rin are coming for Shigure. Who is coming for me? "

Diego stopped laughing and seemed a bit worried despite not losing his smile. - "I don't think you have met her, but you must have heard her name..."

"Oh ..." - I sighed, I know where this is going.

"Exactly" - Diego smiled wryly. - "I didn't think Mikumo would volunteer to capture or kill you in case you put up resistance"

I massaged my forehead. If this is a side effect of the plot armor then being a protagonist sucks.

Mikumo Kushinada, a legendary martial artist who is rumored to be from the same generation as Hayato.

She is one of the few people in the world who has reached the Advanced Super Master level, the same level as Jenazad and one level below Hayato.

Even though she is on the same level as Jenazad, from what I've heard she is much stronger than Jenazad and is the second strongest person in all of Yami.

Chikage Kushinada is the disciple of Mikumo, the adorable girl who I became friends with in Yami and later started avoiding me due to rumors that I am a sexual predator.

In the time I spent with that brat I learned some things about Mikumo such as the fact that, despite being over 90 years old, she maintains a beautiful appearance that does not exceed 25 years.

The most important thing is that Mikumo has an obsession with the search for power without relying on physical strength, she believes that form (technique) surpasses explosive power.

Mikumo's second-biggest obsession is the search for youth, so in my time at Yami, I taught Chikage the basics of Hamon to attract her teacher, it's a shame that I had to go on a mission to Ukraine before I could meet her, but now is a chance to see her in person, sure, only if she doesn't try to kill me as soon as she sees me.

This is a gamble, there is a 50% chance that she wants to kill me since I am a threat to Yami. The other 50% is that she wants to meet me to get the secrets of my absurd increase in strength and life-prolonging techniques like basic Hamon breathing.

If I add the help of the plot armor then the probability that we can both make an alliance increases up to 80%, but an unforeseen problem can always arise so I must prepare for a fight to the death.

I sighed internally, now I don't know who will give me the beating of my life, Hayato or Mikumo, plus I still don't know the expert from Yami's armed division that he has the same strength as Hayato.

Well, whatever, I'll solve one problem at a time, I must first kill the idiot who dares to covet my wife.

"Putting the bad news aside, let's talk about how you've been in this time that we haven't seen each other" - Diego opened a small refrigerator that was on the plane and took out some drinks and sandwiches.

Since this is a private plane there are several luxuries, the women who accompanied me started watching movies after seeing that Diego was not here to cause trouble.

"Sure" - I smiled and began to drink a can of orange soda forgetting that there is a joking idiot in front of me.

"Oh right, the girls you left in Yami did not take your betrayal well and some of them will come to the tournament to look for you to take responsibility, others said something about castrating the idiot who left them" - Diego was amused seeing how I was about to spit out the soda.

"Did you invite them?" - I looked tiredly at the smiling joker.

"Me? I'm innocent "- Diego's smile grew. - "It was Rachel's idea, she said this would motivate you to win the tournament"

... I need to punish that troublesome woman, Rachel can't be happy if she doesn't see the world burn.

Having a huge harem is proving to be more difficult than I thought.

On the other hand, I can also have fun.

Author's Note:

I had a creative block so I'm barely going up a chapter, sorry.

Yesterday I did not sleep and today I drank 6 cups of coffee to support the face-to-face classes but now I cannot sleep.

Anyway, if a part of my mind was still standing now it just collapsed like my hopes of landing Mysterious Heroine X in Fate Go, shitty gacha.

Anyway, a hug.
