Chapter 142: Yui’s troubles

(Ryoto's pov)

I woke up from meditation while coughing up some blood on my shirt that started dissolving and looked down on Zangetsu with some resentment in my eyes.

I grabbed the sword by the hilt and tried to strangle it.

Ryoto: "Listen here, you little shit! I will make you give me Shikai even if it kills me! You hear me!!?"

Zangetsu, by vibrating a bit, said, 'whatever'.

As I was talking with Zangetsu, Mikan walked outside to call me for breakfast.

Mikan: "Ryoto, the food is ready..."

She then looked at me, who was at the moment trying to strangle my own sword.

Mikan: "What are you doing?"

Ryoto: "...Nothing."

I said as I unsummoned Zangetsu.

Mikan: "Is that blood on your shirt, and why does it dissolve your shirt?"

Ryoto: "Yeah, I had an argument with my sword, and I lost. But I'll get my revenge!!! I'll change the clothes, and I'll be ready for breakfast. And don't worry about the holes."

Mikan had the 'Did he finally go crazy' look but didn't ask for clarification as she knows at this point that it's either something stupid or nothing she should be worried about. She has trust in me even if she doesn't say it.

It was the first day of school after winter break. In class, I greeted my classmates.

Ryoto: "Morning, Risa."

Risa: "Hey Ryoto. How did winter break go for you?"

Ryoto: "Not bad. Met Lala's parents, her dad tried to kill me but not really, have a cute assassin after my life and started training kendo."

Risa: "I'm not even surprised anymore..."

Ryoto: "You should. Lala's dad is one, if not the most powerful man in our galaxy. If he wanted, he could destroy Earth singlehandedly."

Risa's eyes went wide.

Risa: "Isn't it bad?"

Ryoto: "It is, but thankfully he can't say no to his wife."

Risa: "So you used your mother-in-law to defeat father in law?"

I nodded.

Risa: "That's genius!"

Ryoto: "I know, right!? But I seriously was panicking while fighting him."

We continued talking about nothing, but I enjoyed moments like these.

At school, during the lunch break, I visited Mikado-sensei as intended and thanked her for the help before, which she teased me about. I also said that I'll make her dinner tonight to show my appreciation since I had never paid her before for any tests we did, and she agreed since neither she nor Oshizu cook.

Mikado because she feels like it's a waste of time since she can use it for other things, and Oshizu... I don't know, but I feel like she was very sheltered before she died.

Now that I had done what I was supposed to do at school, I noticed Yui that become a shell of her former self.

Maybe I really did break her too much last time.

To test it out, I took out a lollipop and started eating it in front of her, but she didn't even react.

Oh, right. It's legal now to eat candies in school. I forgot that I 'convinced' the principal to do it.

Take #2.

I changed my uniform into a suit and danced just like the day we first met. This time she looked up to see me thrusting hips, but she just shook her head and muttered under her nose.

Yui: "What's the point. He'll just retort and escape justice like he always does. He even wore panties on his head, and I didn't do anything..."

I rushed to the class, wrote 'Bringing back Yui Kotegawa' on a blackboard with big letters, and slapped said blackboard.

Ryoto: "We need to fix Kotegawa!"

Risa, enthusiastically raised her hand to ask a question.

Ryoto: "Yes, Momioka-san?"

I got into a role of a teacher.

Risa: "But why. What happened to her?"

Ryoto: "I may have accidentally broken her, and she doesn't even have the will to stop my 'shameless' behavior."

Risa turned completely serious and rested her chin on her hands interlocked.

Risa: "That's... unfortunate. What's the plan?"

Ryoto: "Glad that you asked. We'll try to overload her even more until it makes a big circle and she goes back to her usual self. In short, we act as shamefully as possible until she does something about it."

Saruyama, Rito's friend, stood up and fixed his tie. As he raised his finger and opened his mouth to say something, he was interrupted by a girl destroying the wall of the school and flying towards me.

Alme: "Ryoto!!!"

She hugged me with her whole body while I didn't even budge.

Does she have some kind of resentment against walls? It's the second one, as far as I know, that she destroyed.

Wait, that's it!!!

I picked her by the armpits and looked at her while she was having fun hanging in the air.

Ryoto: "Do you want to have fun?"

Alme: "Yes!"

She answered enthusiastically.

(Yui's pov)

I was walking down the hallway, but I wasn't patrolling as I always did. It was primarily out of habit, and I didn't want to sit in the classroom.

I don't know what to do anymore. If I can't punish shameless behavior, what am I supposed to do...

Was my whole life a lie?

Ryoto: "Morning Kotegawa."

I looked at the source of the voice to see Ryoto with Lala-san and someone unknown to me, but she was clearly not human. Both of the girls were clinging to him.

Yui: "We've already seen each other, but good morning."

I answered apathetically.

I was about to continue my aimless walking, but I was stopped.

Ryoto: "Aren't you going to say something?"

Yui: "...No."

He then flexed his muscles and destroyed the clothes leaving him only in his underwear.

Ryoto: "Then how about now?"

Yui: "Yes, it's quite hot today, but you should wear your uniform properly."

I answered in the calmest voice possible. However, Ryoto was shocked. He even started muttering if he should use the mask, whatever that means.

Not that it matters.

Ryoto: "Well, I'll apologize later."

Yui: "For what?"

He didn't answer and just snapped his fingers. At this signal, four penguins appeared.

Ryoto: "Everything ready?"

Skipper: "Ready!"
