Two weeks went by like this. Shiki was on the couch, watching anime on TV with tranquility while reflecting on everything that had happened during this time.
The daily routine had been quite normal: Shiki attended school with Lala, and together they went out with the usual group of friends: Raku, Shuu, Onodera, Ruri, and Mashiro, who had joined shortly after transferring to Toyogasaki.
As Lala and Shiki were his only acquaintances and friends in the city, Mashiro had integrated well into the group and shared every day of school with them.
Shiki's life had been routine, except for one unusual detail: some extraterrestrials, who were looking for Lala for reasons similar to those of Ghi Bree, arrived on Earth frequently.
In the last two weeks, Shiki had faced and eliminated more than seven of these suitors. Although their number was high, these encounters were useful for practicing his powers.
The last confrontation had been particularly unpleasant. After a brief fight, Shiki decided to end the problem quickly.
He opened a wormhole using [Michael], who absorbed the extraterrestrial while he screamed in terror.
Shiki, with an expression of disdain, sent him directly to the Sun. There was nothing left of the unfortunate invader.
"Well, that guy was more disgusting than Ghi Bree. His intentions were quite unpleasant, so I didn't even use him to practice my skills and sent him directly to the Sun," Shiki thought while watching television.
Suddenly, Lala entered the room, her face radiating with emotion. Without warning, she took Shiki by the hand and dragged him to her room.
"Shiki! Shiki! Come, I've already finished the universal network. Now I can contact my sisters and my mother!" Lala said with enthusiasm. Shiki only let out a sigh.
Although the situation was somewhat unexpected, he understood how much Lala missed her family.
Looking at his apartment, Shiki couldn't help but be surprised, like every time he saw it. What used to be a small apartment had been transformed by Lala.
Thanks to her technology, the space had been considerably expanded, adding numerous rooms and increasing the size of the existing ones.
This change posed a problem. How would he explain that to any visitor? From the outside, the apartment still looked small, but inside it was surprisingly spacious.
Shiki put his thoughts aside and let Lala guide him.
Lala took Shiki to her room, a place full of extravagant inventions and several stuffed dolls scattered everywhere. In one corner, there was a large TV with an antenna that protruded above it.
"I guess that's the universal network," Shiki thought, looking at the device with curiosity.
Lala approached the TV and took a small remote control. She settled down on a cushion in front of the TV with a smile from ear to ear.
"Come, I'll introduce you to my sisters. Although, maybe my mother is a little busy right now," Lala said, patting the cushion next to her.
Shiki, with a smile on his face, sat next to her.
"So you finally finished this universal network. Well, I also want to meet your family since they are my sisters-in-law," Shiki said.
"Um! Um!" Lala nodded enthusiastically. "My little sisters are very kind, although they are always fighting with each other."
Lala pressed the remote control, and the screen came to life with a call animation. After a few seconds, the image changed, revealing two beautiful girls looking expectantly.
"Ane-ue! You're finally calling! Don't you know how worried I was? You left alone with Peke!" exclaimed the girl with pink hair, with two pigtails and eyes of the same color, looking at Lala with a mixture of relief and frustration.
Lala let out a carefree laugh.
"Haha! Nana, you don't have to worry so much. Besides, I didn't want to marry those strangers, so I had to escape," Lala said, shaking her hand as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"But you left without telling me anything! And you went to the other side of the galaxy!" Nana protested, with small tears forming in her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, Nana, don't cry. Look, here's One-sama, she's perfectly fine," Momo intervened, caressing Nana's head with a warm smile.
"I'm not crying, Momo! And stop caressing my head, we are the same age," Nana replied, pushing Momo's hand away with a sneer of irritation.
Momo, ignoring Nana's complaint, turned to Lala.
"One-sama, it's a relief to know that you're safe. Zastin told us that that planet was quite dangerous, so I was worried," Momo said, her soft voice carrying a tone of slight reprimand.
With a smile, Lala gently pulled Shiki towards the screen so that her sisters could see him.
"Hehehe, you don't have to worry, Momo. Shiki is very strong! You should have seen how he beat Zastin," Lala said, smiling as she hugged Shiki's arm with enthusiasm.
Momo looked at Shiki, her smile tinged with curiosity.
"So you are One-sama's fiancé... Zastin mentioned that you beat him with a rather strange sword, which emerged from a throne from the ground," Momo said, intrigued, her eyes shining with interest.
Suddenly, Nana threw herself at Shiki, her face lit with indignation.
"Beast! Zastin told us that you stole Ane-ue's virginity. They only knew each other for a day, and you attacked her as soon as you could!" Nana shouted, her face red like a tomato as she pointed at him furiously through the screen.
Shiki's lips twisted as he suddenly remembered that misunderstanding.
"It's a misunderstanding, idiot! She is still pure. It's too early for that; besides, Lala didn't even have knowledge about those topics. I had to teach her from scratch what common sense is," Shiki explained to the girl who looked at him with fury.
Nana's lips twitched when Shiki called her an idiot.
"Who are you calling an idiot?!" Nana shouted, visibly annoyed.
"So what first time was Zastin referring to?" Momo suddenly asked, deliberately ignoring Nana's outburst, further causing her anger.
"Don't ignore me!" Nana demanded of Momo, who kept smiling mischievously at the screen.
"Do you see? They get along very well," Lala told Shiki, pointing out the tension between her sisters with a carefree smile.
"I guess they do get along, so much so that Momo knows how to annoy Nana, ignoring her on purpose," Shiki told Lala, with an amused smile.
"Don't ignore me...!" Nana lowered her head, her voice suddenly becoming sad.
But when she heard what Shiki said, she looked sideways at Momo, who kept smiling, although her lips trembled trying to contain her laughter.
"Momo... why are you always bothering me?" Nana sighed.
Momo just widened her smile.
"Because I love you very much," Momo replied, with a sweetness that disarmed her sister.
Nana suddenly blushed, and in a typical gesture of a tsundere, she turned her head to hide her face.
"I love you too," Nana murmured, but no one could see her expression, hidden behind her hair.
"But it's also fun to bother you, especially when you express your true feelings," Momo added, taking out her device and snapping a picture of Nana in her moment of shame.
Sound of a photo
"Delete that!" Nana shouted, embarrassed, turning quickly to try to stop Momo.
"No! I'll give this photo to mom later," Momo shouted as she escaped from Nana, who was chasing her with a mixture of frustration and determination.
Thus began a frantic chase around the room, with laughter and screams resonating in the air.
"Do you see? They get along very well," Lala said with a smile, watching her sisters run around and play.
Finally, Momo managed to get away with it, while Nana, exhausted, gave up.
The two sisters sat down again, although Nana couldn't help but look at Momo with some discomfort. In contrast, Momo was radiant, moving her heart-shaped tail with joy.
Suddenly, Momo addressed Shiki with curiosity.
"Shiki-san, is it true that this planet is quite dangerous?" she asked with a smile that hid the concern she felt for her older sister.
Nana, also restless, added: "Zastin said that this planet was quite dangerous. Is it true?"
Shiki looked at the two girls, noticing the concern in their eyes, and smiled at them calmly.
"Well, this planet has its dangers, but don't worry. I can protect Lala at all times, so there's nothing to worry about," Shiki replied assuredly.
"How do you protect her all the time?" Nana asked, frowning, clearly intrigued.
"Hmm, with this," Shiki said as he touched Lala's shadow with his fingers. Suddenly, ten clones of Shiki's time emerged, surrounding them.
Nana and Momo were speechless, surprised to see ten Shikis appear out of nowhere.
"These are my clones. They are always watching Lala. If for any reason she is in danger, a clone will take her out immediately and bring her to me, the original," Shiki explained while gesturing for the clones to return to the shadow.
The clones vanished in shadows, returning to Lala's without a trace.
In addition, I have Rasiel, who is always watching my surroundings. But explaining how Rasiel works would be quite complicated,' Shiki thought, keeping that detail to himself.
"Well, you can worry about your sister, because it's normal, but nothing will happen to her while I'm here," Shiki said seriously.
"Shiki..." Lala suddenly hugged him and kissed him on the lips.
"!" X3
"Beast! What perverted things did you teach Onee-sama?" Nana exclaimed, her face completely red as she covered her eyes with her hands. However, she left a small gap between her fingers so as not to miss anything.
"Wow!" Momo smiled in amazement, surprised that her normally innocent older sister had done something so daring.
Shiki was immediately embarrassed when he realized that the two girls were watching the scene.
After separating, Lala smiled happily, with her heart-shaped tail moving from one side to the other, reflecting her joy.
"Why suddenly?" Shiki asked, still perplexed by what had just happened.
"I felt like it, you looked great," Lala replied with a carefree smile, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Well, love has the ability to make people stupid.
"Beast, beast..." Nana kept murmuring in a low voice, her face even redder as her mind tried to process what she had just seen.
Shiki looked at Nana, who kept calling him "beast" with her face lit in a bright red.
'She's quite innocent,' Shiki thought, noticing how adorable she looked in her indignation. Then he looked at Momo, who looked at him with a polite smile.
Although he didn't think too much about it, for some reason, a suspicion crossed his mind: behind that polite smile hid a pervert.
