With what had happened before, it was impossible for Mizuto to attend the award ceremony, but everyone also understood, as no one expected, that he would be caught in the incident on the Ikebukuro.
Nevertheless, there was no doubt that this incident became famous nationwide.
Whether it was due to the crowd or the death of the gang motor members.
Even worse, it was also the police incompetency for being unable to stop the gang motor members before everything happened or their inability to catch all the crowd who were involved in the death of those gang motor members.
Due to the number of people involved and how all of them ran away directly, mixing with the innocent crowds, and also the sudden errors in the cameras in the surroundings, the police were unable to identify who got involved in this matter.
While the media might not be Mizuto's main business, it didn't mean that he didn't have power over the media. Not only that, he owned one of the largest newspapers in the country, a television station, magazines, radios, and some shares on famous social media, which somehow made him wish to acquire one certain social media in this world like how a famous billionaire did.
Mizuto knew what he had done was exaggerated, and he had made something become so huge that it was impossible to ignore. However, if there was a reason why he did this, it was because he wanted to confirm something.
As he gained a system, he knew how extraordinary he had become. Not only could he gain wealth that was impossible for one to achieve in one's entire life, but he could also use supernatural abilities such as mind manipulation.
So, if he could use a supernatural power, then shouldn't there be a supernatural being or people with a supernatural besides him?
Mizuto wanted to confirm that, and he set up many cameras in the vicinity where the incident of the Ikebukuro began, but then again, he found nothing, and he knew that he was the only one with this power.
This fact made him realize that he was invincible in this world and nothing could stop him.
When he thought about this, there were only two results.
One was he would be afraid of his power, and the second was that he would be a demon king who would dominate the entire world.
Yet, he chose the third option, which was to live as usual.
In his mind, having this type of power was nothing but just holding a weapon. It was like how a soldier wielded a firearm or a knife.
If he had to make a bigger allusion, it was like how a country wielded a nuclear bomb.
Those countries with nuclear bombs naturally had more power, and their status internationally couldn't be underestimated.
Mizuto was just like that.
There was no need to exaggerate, and as long as no one provoked him, then everything was okay.
In the end, no matter how dangerous the weapon was, the most important thing was the one that wielded this weapon.
Mizuto just wanted to live as usual, building his kingdom business, and at the same time, started his future preparation for space, galaxy, universe, and then another world colonization.
This was just the beginning.
Nothing had changed about him, and he was living as usual and being troubled by his relationship as usual.
"So Shi-chan seduced you, huh?"
"...you didn't think that I seduced her?"
Mizuto thought that Sonoko would react strongly, but unexpectedly, she was so calm that it made him wonder whether she even had feelings for him, or rather, it would be better if she got angry at him and even threatened to break up with him.
Yet, instead of doing all of that, she just sucked his penis, then did all the move up and down on his erection.
It was like... he was treated like her dildo, which made him slightly annoyed, so while he lay on his bed, he moved his waist, attacking her relentlessly and causing her to fall defeat before she lay on his chest lazily.
As his foot was broken, Mizuto didn't participate in the award ceremony. While many were disappointed, there was nothing that one could do, especially when they knew that he was affected by the incident in the Ikebukuro.
When this happened, Sonoko went out and didn't participate in the award ceremony either, as she needed to take care of his well-being, considering Mizuto would become a new cash cow for the company.
So, even if Sonoko didn't participate in the award ceremony, it was fine.
Yet, Mizuto somehow thought that he should acquire the company where Sonoko worked so that he could protect her.
Still, he could do that later as he needed to talk about Sonoko's lukewarm reaction when she saw him being kissed by Utaha.
"That's normal, isn't it?" Sonoko poked Mizuto's cheek and said, "You are like this after all."
Yes, Sonoko knew how charming Mizuto was.
Mizuto might not have actively pursued the woman, but it was easy for her to become curious about him. By then, even if he just communicated with them normally, the women would fall for him like a bee attracted to a flower.
Yes, just normally.
When other men tried their best to impress those women who had fallen for him, Mizuto didn't do much and only be himself, having fun with them, like how he usually did.
Yet, when combined with the girls' good feelings and curiosity toward him, everything became a powerful emotion, enough to make any girl fall for him.
Instead of chasing them, Mizuto became the existence that was chased by everyone, so that was why it was easy for him to get all of the women.
So, Sonoko wasn't surprised that Utaha fell for Mizuto, especially when Utaha was attracted by Mizuto's writing, knowledge, and talent at writing. Along with his good appearance, fun attitude, and also how he dared to help Utaha in front of the danger, she felt that it was normal for Utaha to fall for Mizuto, especially when Utaha was a girl without any experience in love.
Still, when Sonoko looked at Mizuto's foot, she felt distressed. She didn't care about Utaha and was even rather furious at her since if Utaha had not been there, Mizuto would not have been caught in this incident. Yet, she also couldn't blame Utaha since no one could predict what was happening in life, including an accident like this.
If someone were to blame, it would be those motor gang members who caused a mess in this city.
"Have you told her that you have a girlfriend?" Sonoko asked.
"...No." Mizuto didn't think that it was necessary to tell Utaha about his private life after all, and wasn't it like... showing off?
If he said that he had a girlfriend, he felt like he was showing off, especially when Utaha didn't have a boyfriend.
Moreover, he liked to keep his private life private instead of showing them off.
Lastly, how could he tell that Utaha would be so bold?
Still, why didn't he dodge and tell the truth?
Mizuto felt like it was stupid to reject the kiss of the beautiful girl and the feeling of falling in love... while he knew he was despicable for thinking like this, he didn't ask for her love, but there was no doubt that he was attracted to her legs.
"Then, I will tell her tomorrow."
Sonoko said those words before waiting for Mizuto's answer, but unexpectedly, he nodded without hesitation. "Okay."
"...is that okay?" Sonoko thought that Mizuto wanted to deceive Utaha all the time.
"It's better to do this soon, or else I am afraid that she will lose her virginity to me."
"...." Sonoko.
"Moreover, I think that I will go back early tomorrow."
When Mizuto thought about his right foot, he felt helpless, but like a human who was injured, he felt safer at home instead of staying in Tokyo.
"Okay."
Sonoko didn't stop him and only kissed his cheek. "I will visit you in Kyoto in the future."
"Come when my foot is better so I can bring you around."
Sonoko smiled and kissed him again several times like a dog who wanted to get close to her master all the time.
Yet, in the morning, when Utaha wanted to visit Mizuto, she was dumbfounded when she knew that he wasn't in the hospital anymore.
"Huh? He had gone home?!"
