The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

(Ryoto's pov)

I ate lunch on the rooftop together with Lala as planned, and no one bothered us. Surprisingly rooftop is not a popular spot to eat, and it allowed me to have my eyes open the entire time. Lala likes to look at them because she thinks they're pretty, so I open them when no one is around.

Lala: "Say 'aah', Ryoto."

Lala wanted to feed me, and I didn't object. Why should I? Afterward, I rested my head on her lap. Her thighs were so soft and comfortable that I started to daze off. As I was falling asleep, I felt a gentle caress through my hair. I tuned towards Lala to see her face, and she had a tender smile. She then lowered her head and gave me a kiss.

Lala: "I love you, Ryoto."

Ryoto: "I love you too."

After our exchange, my eyes closed, and I fell asleep. Yesterday night was tiring but fulfilling.

School ended, and Lala went home together with Rito. She didn't want to be late for her favorite show, and I wanted to talk with Zastin, so I went to my dad's workplace. Unfortunately for me, he wasn't there. Dad said that Zastin went to his friend's wedding. It seems that I need to postpone my plan for now.

I started walking home, but then I noticed a fish-like humanoid with water tubes connected to his gills. Even though his features were fish-like, you could still read his expression without any problem like any other human. He was wearing a tight black bodysuit and was equipped with two swords. A pair of sunglasses was sitting comfortably on his face, and because of them, I couldn't see his eyes. He was trying to ask passerby something, but they all ignored him. Does he realize that no one would want to talk to him looking like that? He didn't even disguise.

???: "Excuse me, could you help me a little. I'm looking for someone, but everyone was so busy that they didn't even stop to listen."

That's not why they didn't stop, but he seems too pure to just tell him that.

Ryoto: "Sure, let's see if I can be of help."

???: "Thank you very much."

He bowed slightly. He is very polite, so I'll try to help him to the best of my abilities.

???: "Unfortunately I don't have any photo of him, but he is about your height, has black hair just like yours and goes with his eyes closed exactly like you. He is well built if I would guess, somehow like you. His name is..."

He took out a piece of paper and read out loud.

???: "...Ryoto Yuuki."

I'm starting to have a bad feeling about it.

Ryoto: "Can I ask you why are you looking for him?"

???: "He is engaged to the first princess of planet Deviluke. My client wants me to take care of him."

All of that, he said with an innocent smile.

'Yep, this guy is dangerous.'

Karen: "No, you need to help him to the best of your abilities. Your thoughts, not mine."

'How about no.'

???: "Now that I look at you, you look exactly like him. Are you Ryoto Yuuki?"

Ryoto: "Nope, never heard of that guy. My name is Jugemu Jugemu Goko no Surikire Kajiarisuigyo no Suigyomatsu Unraimatsu Furaimatsu Ku Neru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yabura Koji no Bura Koji Paipo Paipp Paipo no Shuringan Shuringan no Gurindai Gurindai no Ponpokopi no Ponpokona no Chokyumei no Chosuke."

I said all of that in one breath. I knew remembering it would pay off one day.

An alien looked surprised and happy to hear my name.

???: "What a coincidence. My name is similar. My parents named me Jugemu no Kokogi Suikeru Kajiregami ni Rojiku Furaimatsu ga Baibo Baibo Baibo no Garingan Garingan no Sheringan Sheringan no Bonbopoki no Bonbokona no Chokyumi no Chosuke. Everyone calls me Jugemu for short, though. But with our names, we are basically brothers. I always wanted to have a sibling!"

He then gave me a bear hug. I can't tell him the truth now. He is too pure to be corrupted. Even though he is probably a mercenary or paid killer.

Jugemu: "But both our name starts with Jugemu, so calling you that would be confusing. I'll call you Otouto from now on. Let's look for Ryoto Yuuki, Otouto."

What did I get myself into?

(Mikan's pov)

I returned home together with Mami and Sachie.

Sachie: "Wow, so this is Mikan's home."

Mikan: "Come on, it's a normal house."

Sachie: "But you never invite us here! We should be excited. Besides, we'll finally be able to meet your brothers!"

My phone vibrated, and that means that I got an SMS.

(A/N LINE didn't launch yet.)

Ryoto just wrote to me that he'll probably be late. He wrote that... a fish-like alien called him his brother, and now they are looking for Ryoto Yuuki while he hides the fact that that's him? What? How does he keep getting in these situations?

Mikan: "Sorry, but it seems Ryoto will be late. He is... busy.

Sachie: "Aww. Shame, but your other brother is home, right?"

Mikan: "Well, yes..."

Sachie: "Then there's no problem."

We went inside, and I heard noises coming from the living room. It looks Lala is home.

As I was about to go to the kitchen to put away groceries, Private marched into the hallway and looked at us cutely.

Sachie: "You didn't tell us that you had a pet penguin. He is so cute!"

She ran up to him and gave him a big hug. Mami was behind me, so the only thing is she could see was the back of my head. At that moment, I moved my lips so Private could see. I said, 'Pretend to be a normal penguin'. That was my sole massage, and thankfully he understood.

For the next two hours, we played games, went on a little tour around the house, showed off Celine, and introduced Rito and Lala. I was the most nervous about Rito, but fortunately, nothing happened, and even Lala behaved.

When Sachie and Mamu were about to leave...

*CRUSH*

Something or someone flew through the wall and stopped on the next wall.

Ryoto: "Sorry for barging in like that, but I've brought a guest who is very impatient."

Ryoto, who broke a wooden wall with his body just a few seconds ago, got up like nothing happened. Besides a few bruises here and there, he looked fine.

Noticing that my friends and I were here, he frowned a little and said.

Ryoto: "Looks like, during round two, I need to be a little bit more serious."
