The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 112: Answers to some questions and last hope

(Yui's pov)

I was monitoring the hallway as I do it every day. I was still thinking about what happened yesterday. Maybe Ryoto isn't as bad as I thought he was.

As that thought went through my head, I saw Ryoto-kun walking down the hallway, smoking a cigarette.

I practically turned red from anger. Just when I was starting to think he was not so bad, he does something like that.

I walked up to him in quick steps.

Yui: "Ryoto Yuuki! What is the meaning of this!? Why are you smoking in school!?"

Ryoto stopped walking and looked at me with his closed eyes.

Ryoto: "I'm not smoking."

Yui: "Stop telling me such an obvious lie! I can see smoke coming from it!"

Why am I so angry? Usually, I would just send a student to the teacher and let them handle the situation. Do I feel betrayed? Because I know that he isn't so bad deep down.

Ryoto: "I'm just licking it so fast it creates fire on the end of the stick. Look."

To my surprise, he took out a lollipop from his mouth, showing me the candy.

Ryoto: "See, just a candy. I'm not dumb enough to destroy my life with cigarettes. That's for other people to do. I prefer harmless lollipops over them."

A lollipop?

Just lollipop?

I felt so stupid, but candies in school are also forbidden, so I took them from him. He looked heartbroken because of my action.

Ryoto: "Kotegawa-san, are you a monster?"

Yui: "Huh?"

Ryoto: "You can't just take away man's candy. It's against the rules!"

Yui: "So is being in possession of candies on the school campus."

Hearing that, Ryoto-kun grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me somewhere. I didn't know where I stared at his hand holding my wrist. I could swear a cloud of smoke was coming from my ears. His hand was big and could circle around my wrist without any problem.

Ryoto-Kun's voice woke me up from my daydreaming.

Ryoto: "Principal!!! What is the meaning of this!!?"

The principal was sitting in his office reading some i-indecent magazines. I'll need to confiscate them later.

Principal: "Hmm? What is the problem here."

He said seriously as he put down the magazine.

Ryoto: "I just heard that candies are forbidden inside a school campus!"

Principal: "Yes, that's one of the rules. Is something wrong with it?"

Ryoto: "The problem is with the rule itself. What kind of monster created it!? Change it now!"

Principal: "Now, now, calm down. I can't just change the rules on the spot. There are certain steps I need to follow and..."

It's the first time I've seen our principal act like a principal.

Ryoto-kun walked up to the principal and whispered something to him. I couldn't hear what he said to him, but the principal paled and looked with fear at Ryoto through his black sunglasses.

Principal: "I'll allow it!!! I'll even build a candy shop inside the school!!! Just don't let him near me!!! I just freed myself from him!!!"

He then hid under his desk and stayed there.

Ryoto, on the other hand, looked at me with a smug expression.

Ryoto: "Looks like candies are legal now."

He patted my head as he left. It was a very nice feeling, and the top of my head felt as if it was missing something when he took his hand back.

Wait, did he just legalize sweets in school?

(Ryoto's pov)

Well, I fixed one of the school problems, so it's time to do what I wanted to do from the beginning before Kotegawa-san interrupted me.

I headed to the nurse's office to find Mikado-sensei.

I stormed inside because my question is crucial.

Ryoto: "Mikado-sensei!!! I have a question!"

Mikado was currently drinking a cup of coffee and was reading a newspaper. Probably not Earth's newspaper, though.

She looked at me curiously.

Ryouko: "No need for screaming. Calm down, take a seat and tell me what's on your mind."

Yeah, I'm kind of on edge since I thought about the possibility of Lala being pregnant.

I sat down, took a deep breath, and started talking.

Ryoto: "I was thinking yesterday about the effectiveness of the contraceptive pills since we already established that my blood destroys anything foreign, so I'm starting to panic thinking that I got Lala pregnant and I don't know what should I do and, and..."

Ryouko: "Calm down, calm down. Take a deep breath."

I once again took deep breaths.

Ryoto: "Sorry. It's just this situation is beyond me. It's not that I don't want to create a family with Lala, but I feel like it's too early for that."

At this moment, a cup of tea was put in front of me on the table.

It was Oshizu in a nurse uniform. She still didn't go to school here but helped Mikado in her job as her assistant. She, however, plans to enroll starting the next school year.

Ryoto: "Thanks Oshizu. Sorry I didn't say hello. I didn't notice you."

Shizu: "Don't worry about it. I'm used to it."

It's not something you should get used to, but she was a ghost, so it makes sense.

Ryouko: This tea will help you calm down, and while you drink it, I'll explain some things I discovered and concluded."

I did what she advised me to.

Ryouko: "The first thing I tested was how your blood reacts to nutrients. Surprisingly it destroyed them. I can't say without further examination, but we can assume that something happens in your body that change 'the foreign' substance into a 'friendly' one. I say that because you are not dead or severely weakened.

If your blood was destroying anything it comes into contact with, no matter how much you ate, you wouldn't get any value from it.

But that's not the case here, as we can see. There wasn't anything wrong with your blood."

Hearing that, I started sweating a bit. Isn't it bad that there wasn't anything wrong? I took the pill a night before, and its effects should work for 24 hours, according to Mikado-sensei.

Ryoto: "Mikado-sensei, isn't it bad, though. I took a pill night before, so shouldn't there be some kind of evidence of it in my blood?"

Mikado stopped drinking her coffee and started thinking.

Ryouko: "...Well, yes. While there wouldn't be a big difference, I would certainly notice it. We can then assume that they don't work anymore."

She said it calmly, but I, on the other hand, was internally panicking again, but I calmed down after I drank some tea.

Ryoto: "So does that mean that the possibility of Lala being pregnant is high, isn't it?"

Ryouko: "Not exactly. Devilukean females are not a very fertile species. Ironically, males are very fertile. Not only that, but Lala is a hybrid. She is part Devilukean and part Charmian another very infertile species, so getting Lala pregnant is not an easy feat. You would need to have sex with her every day while finishing inside every time to even get a chance."

She made a joke, but I wasn't laughing and just hung my head low. Seeing that, she widened her eyes while Shizu's face turned red.

Ryouko: "Really? You were doing it every day?"

I nodded.

Mikado scratched the back of her head.

Ryouko: "That makes the chances slightly higher, but I still would say it's 80-90% for Lala not being pregnant, but we can't be sure without doing a pregnancy test.

Besides becoming a father, you wouldn't need to worry about pregnancy in itself. Charmian's pregnancy isn't noticeable until the last month, and I suspect that would be the case for Lala as well, so there wouldn't be a problem with school during this period.

Remember, that's just if she is pregnant. We don't know for sure right now."

She tried to reassure me, but I didn't like my chances.

Wait! I got my blood in another world when my and Lala's bodies were technically younger, and when we got back, we returned to normal. Would Lala stay pregnant when she got back?

That is my last hope because only four days have passed since we got back.

Ryoto: "Thanks for everything, Mikado-sensei, and thanks for the tea Shizu. I'll see you later."

I need to find Sophia.
