Chapter 111: Another one down?
(Yui's pov)
After a small fight with my brother about him walking around the house shirtless, I decided to walk around a city to cool down.
He even said that I'll never find a boyfriend with an attitude like mine. I don't even need a boyfriend!
That talk about a boyfriend led my thoughts to Ryoto Yuuki. A troublemaker that I'm working on fixing. His shameless behavior escalates every day.
He even has a girlfriend, and from what I've heard, they are... close. Too close. Students' duty is to study, and while I don't think it's wrong to have a relationship outside of school, it's only a distraction during school hours.
...
But I can't even call him out on that since his grades are above average to perfect, depending on the subject.
Is my life a lie?
No!!! I'll correct his behavior. I won't let him turn to someone like my brother!
As I was walking around, I noticed three thugs smoking and disturbing everyone around by being too loud. I, of course, needed to stop them.
Yui: "Hey, you people! You are disturbing everyone around!"
Thug 1: "Huh? Are you talking to us?"
Yui: "YES!"
The thugs looked at each other for a moment and turned their attention to me again.
Thug 2: "Hey, don't you think she is pretty hot?"
Thug: "I was thinking the same thing."
They started surrounding me, and I realized that I may be in trouble.
I looked around for anyone who could help me, but people just walked further while avoiding eye contact.
As I was about to at least try to run away, Ryoto Yuuki appeared practically out of nowhere.
He saved me from the thugs and tortured them while he was at it. Afterward, he gave me a lollipop. I looked at the candy in my hand in a daze.
My brother used to give me candies when I was crying when we were younger.
I smiled, recalling that good memory.
I thanked Ryoto-kun for the help and decided to go back home for now, but the whole way, my mind was occupied by Ryoto-kun.

Today it's Ryoto's turn to make dinner. I should be scared of what will happen when I'll eat it, but the last time it was so delicious I couldn't stop eating. Because of that, I anticipate the food he'll make.
Besides, I really appreciate that he tries to help around the house. Thanks to him, I have more time for myself which is always good.
I returned from school and had wanted to eat a popsicle. We always had some in the freezer, so I headed to the kitchen to witness Ryoto in his lollipops apron. It wasn't strange in itself, but I could see that he didn't have any clothes under it.
I looked at him with my eyes deprived of emotions.
Mikan: "What are you doing?"
He looked at me, confused.
Ryoto: "A meat-stuffed paprika... I wanted to try out something new..."
I decided to ask straight since it didn't look like he planned to answer otherwise.
Mikan: "Why don't you wear anything under your apron?"
Ryoto: "Not true! I still have my underwear on!"
He then turned away to look at the oven and showed off his back in the process.
...
He lied.
He was naked underneath.
I'll ignore it for now. It's not the strangest thing that he did. Is it bad that it doesn't even phase me anymore? I mean, we are bathing together from time to time, so seeing his naked back doesn't embarrass me too much.
I just took what I got here for and tried to go back to the living room, but I was stopped by Ryoto.
Ryoto: "Don't eat too much ice cream. Dinner will be ready soon."
Mikan: "Yeah, don't worry. Girls have another stomach for sweets."
About 40 minutes later, we ate dinner. It was, of course, delicious, and thankfully, my clothes didn't fly off me this time. I looked at Ryoto, and he just smiled at me.
I also noticed that he started walking around the house with his eyes open more often.
Does it mean he is more comfortable now? The reason is not important now, but they really look pretty.
During dinner, we talked about some mundane things. Lala was the most excited as always. Now that I think about the house really got more lively since she moved in. Not only that. Ryoto is also happier and closer than he was before.
I hope that it stays like this for a long time.
I took another bite of the food Ryot made and swore to myself that I'll improve my cooking in the future.
(Ryoto's pov)
Well, the fun has ended. The contraceptive that Sophia gave me just finished, so I need to ask either Sophia or Mikado-sensei for more because I'm not ready to be a father. Maybe even a little scared of being one. Since I'm not sure if I would be a good one. Let's just say I didn't have the best example in both of my lives.
Right now, I have a dad who works the whole time and doesn't visit most of the year. He even let Mikan take care of the house. But part of it is my fault as well. That's why I'm trying to help her more as of late.
In my previous life, my father was a lot worse. Just thinking about him makes me wanna vomit. He was destroying my mom with his behavior. Not caring about anything, doing whatever he wanted, killing himself by doing drugs, and becoming more and more aggressive. I'm still regretting that I couldn't stand up to him.
But enough of this depressing stuff. I need these pills, or I can't snu-snu with Lala, and that's bad.
The question is, who am I going to ask for the pills? Sophia or Mikado?
Wait. Would they even work? Mikado said that my blood destroys everything foreign.
I started panicking a little inside, but I calmed down fast.
I have had this blood for some time already, and I'm doing it with Lala practically every day, so I think she would already be pregnant by now, but I'll ask Mikado-sensei about it today and if she finds out something new about my blood.
