My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

Chapter 290 Night Stay

Since the night was getting late and White Mist didn't want everyone to exhaust themselves traveling back to their accommodations (he wasn't aware of Emma's superpower which allowed everyone to travel everywhere they want without difficulty) he decided to book a couple of suites for everyone. As one of the top ten superheroes, booking a room for a couple of days in the Grand Hotel was petty cash for him. That's why he didn't mind it at all.

After dinner, Satoshi and the others were about to head out to return to their respective places when White Mist told them to stay. Of course, they couldn't reject his invitation since he had already booked some rooms for them. The Grand Hotel is one of the world's most prestigious hotels, so the invitation was always welcome. Even Jack Michael who never bothered with any of White Mist's invitations in the past decided to accept his invitation this time.

In total, White Mist reserved a total of five rooms. He didn't know how they'll divide themselves among the rooms so he just decided to book five... and they were all suites to boot.

In the end, they decided that Jean Grey and his wife would stay in one room, and the Midoriyama Duo would stay in the second room. The third room was taken by Emma, Aira, and Satoshi, and the fourth room would be exclusive to Jack Michael. As for the fifth room, the Yukines would be staying there but Shiroi insisted on staying with Satoshi and the others. That's why Shiroi's dad would be staying in that room.

"I guess that worked out in the end. I hope you enjoy your stay here at Grand Hotel. I've reserved the rooms for at least two weeks so you can stay here until the Official Beast Tournament. You can come and go without any problems." White Mist pointed out before bidding everyone farewell.

.....

A few minutes later, inside the suite where Aira, Emma, Satoshi, and Shiroi are staying.

[And the last to leave this circle wins—]

Satoshi was lounging on the couch, watching a youtube video about a certain man who had been giving out island after island with his ridiculous challenges. Last time, he challenged someone to stay in a circle for more than two years in order for him to win an island. It was weird and ridiculous but a lot of people seemed to like his content so he continued making it.

"What are you watching?" Airaasked as she slowly approached Satoshi. While the suite was really high-quality, it was nothing compared to the Midoriyama Household. And since Aira couldn't really go out without anyone supervising her, she was bored out of her mind staying inside the suite. And yes, she already went through every nook and cranny of the place but she didn't find anything interesting.

That's why she decided to just approach Satoshi and watch videos with him.

"Oh, nothing much. Do you want to watch it with me?" Satoshi asked as he stopped lying on the couch to give Aira some space.

Aira didn't hesitate to sit on Satoshi's lap as she leaned her head on his chest. Satoshi didn't find it in him to shoo Aira away since she was just a kid. They continued watching the youtube video.

Meanwhile, Emma was enjoying the warm shower while Shiroi was in the tub, relaxing on the warm water that caressed her entire body. The two of them were conversing with each other as if it was normal for two girls to bathe together even though they weren't in the public baths.

"When did you two meet?" Shiroi asked out of nowhere. She already knew that Emma wasn't really related to the Midoriyamas but she still had no idea how Emma ended up staying with them.

"You should ask Satoshi that question. I'm sure he'd be able to answer that." Emma responded matter-of-factly as she started rubbing shampoo on her head. "And you don't have to worry about me. I'm just close friends with him. You like him, right?"

Emma's eyes were closed since she was shampooing her hair, but she could already tell that Shiroi's face was turning a nice shade of red. She smiled to herself.

"Eh?!" Shiroi exclaimed. "What are you talking about? Satoshi and I... we weren't... brbrrlblrbblrr~" Shiroi went down the tub and started exhaling. She didn't know how to explain everything to Emma since she had been a little bit obvious during their entire time together.

There was also the time when she held hands with Satoshi in the American Dome before the match between Jean Grey and White Mist took place. Of course, anyone who saw that would misunderstand. 'But... why? Why didn't Satoshi let go of my hand back then? Did he think that I would get lost in the crowd? That's probably the case... right? Right?"'

"How about you, when did the two of you meet, Shiroi?" Emma asked out of nowhere, returning her question back to her.

Shiroi still hasn't recovered from Emma's words, and now she asked her how they met. It was a merciless onslaught and Shiroi had no time to calm herself down.

"Ah... eh?" Shiroi asked, trying to buy some time but to no avail.

"I mean, where did you two first meet? Or were you already friends when you were born?" Emma asked. She was aware that Yukino Yukine, Shiroi's dad, is friends with the Midoriyama Duo. But that doesn't explain Emma's friendship with Satoshi at all. That's why Emma just had to ask. She was especially curious as to how Shiroi developed feelings for Satoshi despite the fact that he didn't have superpowers back then.

"Um..." Shiroi bit her lips as her face turned an even darker shade of red.

"We have enough time. I'm pretty sure Satoshi wouldn't disturb us while we're here." Emma assured Shiroi.

"It all started when we were... four... five years old? No, four years old."

.....

(Author's note: Yes, this is a backstory. You were expecting a backstory, right?)

By the outskirts of Tokyo near the Midoriyama Household was a park that was frequented by the Midoriyama Duo. At first, this park was not that famous, but when people realized that the number one and two superheroes go there, it became a tourist attraction.

Satoshi was still four years old back then. He had always liked playing by the sandpit, that's why his parents would always leave him there while they sign autographs and meet with the people. At such a young age, Satoshi was already used to the attention that people gave his parents. It was all part of his daily usual life. He also learned to ignore the people around him every time he and his parents were in public. He didn't really mind that his parents were famous. In fact, Satoshi even prided himself as their son and number one fan. He had always looked up to his parents starting from a very young age.

After a couple of months, the excitement within the park had died down and the Midoriyama Family could now go there without worrying about the many people who were trying to get their autographs. And as usual, Satoshi was by the sandpit, making a sandcastle. He was already an expert when it comes to making sandcastles. Even Tatsuki and Ayumi were impressed with the details that he put into his works.

Sniffle~

Sniffle~

One day, while Satoshi was making a palace made out of sand, he heard a couple of sniffles from behind the bush. This bush was conveniently located beside the sandpit because the author said so. Curious, Satoshi decided to take a peek on the other side of the bush, only to find that there was a little girl there.

It was none other than Shiroi.

Satoshi didn't say anything when he approached Shiroi. He silently grabbed her by the hand and led her out of the grassy areas of the park. He then led her to the sandpit. "You want to make a sandcastle?" He asked, gesturing for Shiroi to sit down opposite him before he continued making a sandcastle.

In the end, Satoshi had no idea why Shiroi was there in the first place. Furthermore, she also didn't help with the sandcastle at all. She just stopped crying while she watched Satoshi build a sandcastle.

.....

"And that's how you two met? That's it? What were you even doing there?" Emma asked in confusion.

"I... I don't remember. I think I was lost. I got separated from my dad back then." Shiroi responded.

"I see, so that's how it was. That doesn't explain why you like him though." Emma was relentless with her attacks.

"Eh?!" Shiroi exclaimed under her breath.

As the two of them got out of the bath, they noticed that Satoshi and Aira were watching something on the television. Satoshi decided to watch the video on the television instead of on his phone so Aira wouldn't strain her neck looking up at the screen. That didn't stop Aira from staying on Satoshi's lap though.

"Looks like you've got competition." Emma teased, nudging Shiroi on the side before the two of them joined Satoshi and Aira on the couch.
