133 A blonde haired assassin

(Karen's pov)

I was currently in a mixed mood. On one hand, I was happy that Ryoto managed to survive, and I'm glad that he cherishes his life now, but on the other hand, I'm not happy that he got injured.

Why does he need to worry me so much?

Truck-san: "Karen! I came to play!"

Karen: "!@*#!?#@!!!!"

I let out an incomprehensible scream.

Jesus fucking Christ! What is she doing here!? And why does she change her look again?

She was wearing a beautiful kimono with a flower pattern on it and brown hair reaching the floor. She also had a Japanese sword that she wore at her waist. She looked graceful. Shame that her personality didn't reflect that.

Karen: "What do you want?"

Truck-san: "As I've said, I came to play. The word came around that Ryoto got in a fight with his father-in-law and got injured, so I came to cheer you up."

Karen: "I'm not lamenting!'

Truck-san: "Who said you were?"

She had the smirk that said that she got me. I hate when she does that.

Karen: "Nevermind that. What do you want from Ryoto?"

I looked at her suspiciously. If I know anything about Truck-san is that she loves entertainment and most of the things she does ends up with her having fun.

Truck-san: "Oooo~ Scary."

She just smiled at me. God, I hate it when she does it.

Karen: "We both know why I don't trust that your motives are pure."

Truck: "You don't need to worry. I just want to send him to one of the worlds I am managing. Nothing more."

Karen: "Are you mad!!!?"

Truck-san: "What? You don't even know which world I plan on sending him to."

Karen: "I can guess from your look!"

She clapped her hands, looking happy that I guessed.

Truck-san: "Good job!"

Karen: "You know that he isn't ready to go there! Depending on where you send him, he may even die!"

She flicked my forehead.

Karen: "Ow!"

Truck-san: "Who do you take me for? Of course, I won't send him now. I'll let him grow stronger for a while and then transfer him. It won't be for free either. I'll give him a mission with great rewards."

I thought, what was her end goal. Why use Ryoto and not someone other than him. Universe, multiverse, omniverse, and even #>@#verse is enormous.

Karen: "Why?"

Truck-san: "Hmm?"

Karen: "Why use Ryoto for that, and why are you doing that?"

Truck-san put the finger on her chin, thinking about the response, but in reality, she just tried to act cute.

Truck-san: "Don't you think that some characters deserve a better ending than they got or would get? Besides, there isn't any reason for choosing Ryoto. I spun a wheel, and it landed in his name."

I facepalmed.

Of course, she used a wheel. She is that idiot's wife, after all. I don't know how she managed to raise Truck-kun to be a responsible adult.

Karen: "*Sigh* Fine, but if something happens to Ryoto, I'll end you."

My glare could kill at the moment, but Truck-san wasn't scared at all. She maintained her smile.

Truck-san: "Don't worry, your boyfriend will be fine. A little treat in him would be nice."

The tension between us vanished as I became embarrassed hearing that.

Karen: "He is not my boyfriend!!!"

Truck-san: "Yet."

Karen: "You know what? I won't argue with you. It never ends up in my favor."

Truck-san: "But you seriously don't need to worry. I can promise that even Gaia or anyone else won't do anything to kill him unless he'll go full nuts and try to destroy the planet or something similar. Otherwise, she won't do anything."

Karen: "What about the others?"

Truck-san: "Depends if he tries to fight them for some reason."

...

He'll do it. I know that he'll do it. I don't know why but he'll do it.

Truck-san: "By the way, why won't you send Ryoto to the next world already? I understand the first month I get it. You literally couldn't, as there is a one-month cooldown between otherworld missions, but you told him that he wouldn't be able to do it until at least April. What's your deal?"

She was curious, and that's usually bad news. She'll get the information she wants in any way she can, so I just told her.

Karen: "I wanted for Ryoto to take a break. The last time he kind of broke down, so I thought a normal life with his loved ones for a few months would help him in the long run. I know that he wants to get back Koro-sensei as soon as possible, but u won't allow him to do that at the cost of his mental health."

Truck-san: "I see, I see. If you want to get some relationship advice, you know where to find me! Bye!"

She disappeared just as quickly as she appeared.

...

Did she get here just to tease me?

(Ryoto's pov)

Today is the 2nd of January. During the last week, I was treating my arm and was pampered by Lala. Even though I didn't need it still was nice. What wasn't nice was that Lala limited our love-making sessions because she was worried about my arm too much. We still did it but not every day as we used to.

Alme also visited me as soon as she heard about what happened, but after the first visit, she stopped for some reason.

I also tried to talk with Zangetsu, but for now, he refuses to talk. I'll continue my efforts, though.

On the note of Zangetsu, I was thinking about training my swordsmanship. My first candidate was Zastin, as he was known as one of the best swordsmen in the galaxy, but I dismissed this idea as he uses a western sword, and Asauchi is eastern in origin.

Then I thought about my own little stalker and decided to ask her this favor as soon as my arm heals.

I also warned all home residents about the mask so there won't be accidents. Just in case, I hid it in my room.

Who am I kidding? Someone will definitely use it, but that's my future self problem, not mine.

I was currently taking a walk, and I was ready for trouble.

I decided to buy some taiyaki as it was a bit cold, and I bought some extra for the rest as well. Will the penguins like it. It's fish-shaped, after all.

Thankfully I had a bag with me so I could carry and eat at the same time. Didn't want to use my arm if not necessary.

As soon as I bought the food, I saw a girl with long blonde hair and dark red eyes. She wore an all-black Gothic-style leather outfit. Said outfit had a star-shaped gap at the chest of her clothing. On her legs, I could see five-leg belts.

She was staring at me intensively, so I offered her my taiyaki.

Ryoto: "Do you want this?"

She didn't say anything back but took the food and ate it.

???: "Earthling food is really strange..."

Ryoto: "It is, but that's why it's fun to eat it."

She got closer to me and put her hands on my shoulders. There was quite a height difference between us as she was shorter than Lala.

With a blank expression, she looked me into the eyes (eyelids) and said.

???: "You're Ryoto Yuuki... I've been looking for you..."

Her hand turned into the blade, and she attempted to cut me with it, but I dodged it by backstepping. I did it effortlessly and looked completely calm.

???: "Somone asked me to eliminate you. I have no grudge against you, but I must ask you to die."

Once again, my walk turned into a disaster.
