Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 9 - The Surprising News

[Akasa Residence, The next day ]

[ POV Ryu ]

I've been training for five years diligently. As a result, both my stamina, speed, and strength have improved a lot. Besides that, I also mastered all kinds of martial arts, such as karate, jujitsu, and silat. I also learned to use weapons, such as swords, katanas, spears, arrows, and pistols.

Can I learn all that?

Believe it or not, but I'm pretty quick at mastering it.

I don't know why, but my body and soul seem to have done it. So, I just need to remember that feeling again.

And thanks to that as well, I was able to get out alive from the crazy building I visited yesterday despite being injured in the process.

In the end, everything was done and handled well by my family.

Yes, it seems that I made a little trouble, because I was locked up in my house until I went to Yozora City.

By the way, everyone who became the object of research in the building seems to still be unconscious. And the Akaasa family put them in a special shelter.

As for the beautiful woman, I asked them to put her in the place I suggested and it seems that I made a little misunderstanding. But let.

The case was ultimately unpublished due to some considerations and I didn't want to think about it because. I don't remember what I had done in that place, after I seemed to be angry at something.

But I guess I remember about the curse of the– people in white suits, like retaliation or something like that. Well, they became similar to a heretic sect.

It has to do with who they are, or what they do. I don't want to talk about it right now.

I just want my girlfriend.

Sighs.

[1 Week Later ]

Right now I was lying on the sofa lazily, as if I had no reason to live anymore.

Like a NEET, I rarely went out and just stayed in my room or went to training. Practice or read books to turn my attention to this crisis of life.

For these six days, I will only be excited when I listen to my lover's voice. But after that, I will return to my current condition.

"Young master, we'll be leaving in a moment, so be prepared."

That's the voice of my personal servant, Maya.

If I have to describe her, then she is a mature beauty. I don't know his age (because it's taboo), but from his appearance he's 20 years old.

Maya has long light purple hair, a slim body, and seductive legs. Sometimes I will misbehave in front of him.

"Okay, is everything ready?"

I spoke without passion, while continuing to lie lazily on my sofa.

Oh yes, earlier, I immediately contacted someone who could take care of my move. I demand that they do it quickly. Even a little threatening them.

Whahuh? The dictator? I don't care as long as it's related to my lover.

"We have prepared everything. We'll be leaving soon."

"How much longer?" (Still with a lazy tone)

"About an hour."

"Too long, tell them to move faster."

I'm a little sulking.

Well, anyone would feel very upset to see a slacker who only knows how to demand.

"Well..."

And it's true. Maya could not help her disappointment. He's probably a little tired of my behavior over the past week.

For a while, he was only silent, but after that, his aura turned dark and cold as well. It was also the same as his expression that turned frightening.

"Little Riyu can you get up quickly, or you want me-"

As if lightning had struck, I immediately got up from my sofa.

"By Maya, calm down okay. I-I'm awake. I'll get ready. There is no need for violence here. I-I'll get ready in the room. Just a minute."

Am I scared? Yeah, I'm scared, and there's nothing embarrassing about that.

I'm familiar with this voice. Last time I heard it and I got battered while training with him. It makes it hard to sleep. And as soon as I slept, I had a bad dream.

Some may wonder, why am I this afraid, when he is my servant? Why do I call her a sister? Why would he be able to act like this to his young master? I'll answer it later.

Now there's something more important, I have to get out of here.

[Mayana POV ]

*Swearing Breath*

This week the young master was not so enthusiastic, whereas before he was quite excited, both in training and studying. He was even interested in researching more about Eternite.

The reason may be because of May.

Well, honestly I'm pretty grateful to him. But after I found out about their relationship, I was a little jealous.

Hmmm.... how? Do I have to ask permission to be his second wife? Or.. should I just steal it? A difficult choice.

Little Riyu is so cute, I probably won't be able to hold back in the future.

Ding dong (door bell)

Oops, I went a little too far.

[Riyu Room Door ]

"Tok tok*

“Young master, can I come in."

Right now I am at the door of Ryu's room to report something.

"Come in."

Ryu replied as he seemed to still be getting ready. But since he gave me permission, I opened the door immediately and then I saw an incredible sight.

He had blackish-white hair, a balanced body, and a handsome face. But, her eyes were the most charming of all, it could captivate anyone who saw it.

Looking into his eyes, I somehow felt that he could see my soul, personality, and secrets.

Well, I'm used to his looks.

What shocked me at this moment was the upper part of his body.

Right now, she was still getting ready to put on her clothes so that I could see her gallant upper body.

It was more dazzling than I knew before, perhaps the result of his training?

Okay, don't think about it now.

'Did he tease me on purpose?'

I'm thinking.

'At first I didn't want to punish him, but this time I changed my mind. I will definitely punish him.'

Even though I said that to myself, I acted as if I didn't care what he did.

"Young master, Mr. Akaasa is waiting for you in the living room."

.

[ POV Ryu ]

I suddenly goosebumps.

What's with this feeling? Did someone curse me? Is that Mei?

... I guess not.

Don't think about that feeling now. I had to put on my shirt immediately (not realizing his mistake)

When I heard what Maya said, I was quite surprised.

"Grandfather? Why did he come here. Does he want to ask about my move? But, I think I explained it."

"Akasa Master didn't explain anything, but he said he wanted to give you something before you left."

Oh. whether he'll finally give me a present. I can't wait for that. Hmm. but this is a bit wrong so I wouldn't expect anything.

Well, but I hope he'll give me a supercomputer, the latest VR game, or whatever as long as it's advanced.

Did I just say "don't get my hopes up"? Really true?

"Is that so? Well, I'll get my answer once I meet him."

“......”

"Okay, let's go over there."

I finished putting on my shirt and quickly walked to the door to meet my grandfather.

.

.

[Living Room ]

“So little boy, it seems you made some trouble as long as I'm not around.”

"Uh, yes that's how it is. So dear grandfather, why did you come?"

I smiled wryly and shifted the subject. Anyway I don't want to talk about it.

I walked towards my grandfather who was sitting comfortably in the living room with a cup of coffee in his hand.

My grandfather, even though he is old enough, but his body is still strong and fit, and he can still fight well even still receiving difficult missions as the leader of the soldiers of the ETER Union.

Oh, I need to emphasize here that he's a pretty handsome guy. Her hair is white like mine. Well, my hair is a little mixed with the black color of my mother.

In essence, perhaps in his time he was the most handsome man, as expected of the Akaasa family.

Surprisingly, they always had one wife.

.....???

Okay, that's normal, I know. But come on, good looks are even wasted. With the Akaasa resources, it has become even more futile. After all, with the number of men becoming fewer making a harem, it was not impossible.

Don't misunderstand me okay. Of course I don't like people who make harem in my family because I would be envious.

Okay stop joking.

???

“You want to switch topics yes. Well, good thing when you save that little girl.”

“Um?”

“Well, no need to discuss it. Sit down, there's something I want to talk about.”

Grandfather said calmly and seriously.

I sat in the empty seat that was in front of him and did not pursue his statement any further because like I said I did not want to think about it.

Maya is behind me, standing up.

“What is this serious talk?”

I saw his expression.

From what I see, she doesn't have the usual warm and playful expression. So it was a bit strange to see his expression at this moment.

“Ya, this will be a serious talk.”

Grandpa took a sip of his coffee and put it on the table.

“......”

I was silent and did not disturb him.

Since this is going to be a serious talk, then I put on a serious expression as well.

I waited for his words while sipping the tea that was in front of me. It was probably prepared by Maya before I came.

When I drank my tea, Kekek started talking,

“You have a fiancee.”

“Puuttt, uhuk uhuk uhuk.”

I spit my tea back in surprise.

‘What did the old man just say?’
