The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 83: Secret between girls

(Ryoto's pov)

After my story ended, all of us agreed to return to the classroom. The girls were so focused on talking that they didn't even notice us.

Karasuma cleared his throat to gather their attention. They turned to see our group standing and waiting for them to finish.

Irina: "Hey! We told you to-"

Before she could finish what she wanted to say, presumably to throw us out of the classroom again, Karasuma grabbed her by the face and lifted her up.

Tadaomi: "What do you think you are doing. Weren't you supposed to teach them English today?"

Karasuma said calmly.

Irina tried to say something and free herself, but she couldn't. Karasuma was too strong for her.

While the comedic duo was doing their usual routine, I noticed that the girls from my class looked at me strangely. Some of them tried to avoid eye contact with me with blush on their faces.

What is going on, and what did they talk about?

As I was thinking about it, Toka Yada approached me. She had an apologetic expression.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

Toka: "Sorry Yuuki-kun, I couldn't stop them."

What the hell happened here!? I turned to Lala, but she was behaving as usual. I don't get it.

Ryoto: "Why are you apologizing?"

Before she could inform me about the events that occurred, she was grabbed and dragged by other girls from our class.

Hinata: "Don't mind her, Yuuki-kun. She is just tired."

Hinano: "That's right, that's right."

...That was strange."

Ryoto: "Rio, do you have something to do with that?"

Rio: "Why did you assume that it was my fault?"

Ryoto: "I didn't say that it was your fault. I just asked if you are involved. Besides, Karma is absent."

Rio: "...That's fair."

Ryoto: "So, can you answer my question?"

Rio: "...You'll know later."

Suspicious, very suspicious.

Irina: "Karasuma!!! We had an important talk- I mean lesson was for girls only this time, so I did my duty as a teacher after all."

She looked proud of herself with her hands on her waist.

Tadaomi: "As a teacher, you can't discriminate between students."

Karasuma dug his fingers deeper into Irina's skull.

Irina: "Awawawaw!!! It hurts!!! I swear that I would make up this to boys with private lessons later~."

It didn't help her at all as the pain only increased.

I tried to observe everyone for every minuscule detail, but I remembered that I didn't know enough about body language to deduce what happened. I should ask Koro-sensei to teach me about it next. Together with my eyes, it could be a great combo.

I saw, however, Kaede lamenting about the size of her boobs, nothing unusual there.

Let's become Sherlock Holmes for a moment. Some girls are embarrassed. Why? Because obviously, they talked about something embarrassing. It had to do something with me as they avoided eye contact only with me.

What did they talk about then? Lala probably told them a story about us. Which part, though? She wouldn't say anything about our 'sessions' as she promised me that she wouldn't do that even before we got to this world. Maybe some of the more embarrassing adventures? The time at the beach? When we slept together at the Inn? Our first meeting? I won't know until someone tells me or they slip some information.

Focus on something you know. Toka Yaki, she was apologizing for not stopping something. What she didn't stop? Think from her perspective. She is the big sister of this class and feels responsible for that something. What could occur that she could stop? Maybe the class or, more specifically, Rio said something to Lala that they shouldn't. She wouldn't be able to stop this before it happened, but she would feel responsible. Is Kaede's mood have something to do with that? Difficult to say.

Lala the central figure of all of that. There wasn't any noticeable difference in her behavior. Does that mean that it didn't really happen? Lala is not someone who would hide her emotions too much. She would jump on me if she learned something and test her new knowledge immediately. She is also very curious, so she would ask to confirm her newly acquired knowledge.

It doesn't add up. Let's back up a little. I know that they talked about something embarrassing, and I was part of that story. Toka feels responsible for something as well, which I would assume was class feeding Lala unnecessary information. Still, Lala's behavior is saying otherwise. Rio also said that I'll find out later. I can't do anything about it, so I'll wait and see what will happen, and if it's a prank that she set up, I'll make some delicious meal made by me. Why? Because I was finally able to do THAT, Rio will be my first tester.

Karen: "You wasted all your brainpower and didn't conclude anything. I don't know if I should be impressed or disappointed."

'Be impressed on how disappointing I am.'

Karen: "You are n-"

She stopped herself from finishing this sentence. 'You are what? Knowing Karen, she won't tell me even if I pressed for answers, so I waited for her to speak again.

Karen: "Can we talk later? I want to tell you something and ask a few questions, too, but it'll take some time."

'...No problem. I'll let you know when I'm free.'

Karen: "Thanks..."

Later that day, we had PE. I, as usual, found a great place under a tree and relaxed there while others were training. Did I feel guilty? No, because I trained twice as hard after school ends. Besides, if I joined, it wouldn't be fair to others. I'm too strong and agile for my classmates even without using any other of my abilities.

Lala wanted to join and tried to convince me to train as well, but she accepted my excuse after some explanation. However, she still wanted to be part of a lesson, so Karasuma evaluated her abilities.

Lala had some experience with swordsmanship, so she applied it here. A knife is a short sword, after all, right? WRONG! Kinda. You could use a knife as a sword, but it wouldn't be as effective as one might think, but Lala is a genius. She adapted fast. There were times when she let slip of her strength and attacked Karasuma with more power than he expected. He must be very confused right now. Serious type confused is fun to watch.

Overall she was happy and had fun. As I talked with Lala during the short break, a new figure came out from the school building carrying a box and a few plastic bags.

Akira: "Hey there! My name's Akira Takaoka!! Starting today, I'll be working here to help out Karasuma! Nice to meet all of you in class E!"

Now, how should I play this out?
