Chapter 127: Raised flag showing its power
(Ryoto's pov)
So I made up with Alme, but our confrontation got everyone's attention.
Risa: "Hey Ryoto, who is this girl?"
She pointed at Alme.
Ryoto: "This is Alme, an alien just like Lala..."
Alme: "...And Ryoto's fianc! Nice to meet you!"
Risa blinked a few times, not expecting this answer."
Risa: "Fianc? Is Lala-chii okay with that?"
Lala: "Why wouldn't it be? Ryoto will make us happy, and we will make him happy. Everyone ends up happy!!!"
As Lala was talking to Risa, Alme was looking at Risa, and I think she saw something because she smirked.
Ryoto: "What did you see?"
Alme: "Nothing important, but you sure are popular."
Ryoto: "Well, I do have two fiancs and two girlfriends that you still haven't met, so yeah, I'm popular."
Alme didn't say anything, but she added something strange.
Alme: "By the way, we should probably move away from this place."
Ryoto: "Why?"
Alme didn't need to answer as I heard cracking above my head, so I quickly webbed the part of the roof that was about to fall. It would last an hour or two, but I'll need to apologize to Saki as I'm sure that it was Alme's doing. Even if I didn't know, not making eye contact and trying to whistle gave it away.
She couldn't whistle.
Ryoto: "What did you do?"
Alme: "I kind of wanted to re-create the suspension bridge effect since I heard that it makes the other person like you. I knew that you wouldn't be scared while being on a bridge, so maybe a fear of a roof falling down on you would do the trick."
Ryoto: "We'll talk about it later."
I walked up to Saki's usual group.
Ryoto: "Saki-senpai, someone destroyed the roof. For now, it's holding up, but it's better to evacuate everyone before it goes down."
Saki: "Don't worry about it, Ryoto-sama."
Ryoto-sama?
I couldn't think about it as Saki took out a phone and, after a short call, a small group of men repaired the roof in a record time.
Saki: "Done. Anything else."
She said with a smile, but someone next to her wasn't as happy seeing me.
Ryoto: "Hey Rin, do you like nature?"
Clearly not expecting this kind of question Rin was confused.
Rin: "No... Why do you ask?"
Ryoto: "Huh, strange. Since you climb trees almost every day, I thought that you were a fan."
Hearing that, she stiffened.
Rin: "I-I don't know what you are talking about."
Well, I had my fun so I'll leave her for now.
Ryoto: "Since I've said what I want, I'll go back to Lala and Alme. Sorry for the trouble."
Saki: "Don't worry about it, Ryoto-sama. It was barely an inconvenience. Ohohoho!"
She did an Ojou-sama's laugh.
After she was done laughing, she said.
Saki: "Oh, by the way, I have a big surprise coming, so don't go home just yet! I'm sure you'll enjoy it."
I was pretty curious about the surprise, and I didn't plan on going home just yet anyway, so I obliged.
(Saki's pov)
I had a big surprise which was explicitly made for Ryoto-sama, and it was time to announce it, so I went up on a stage.
Saki: "I would like to announce today's main event!"
As I said that, I snapped her fingers and the curtains behind me revealed a lot of exotic animals.
Lions, tigers, alligators, snakes, wolves, and more.
Some of the guests got kind of scared, but I assured everyone that the animals were behind very durable glass.
A fish-like girl looked very curious, but I didn't focus on that. She was hugging Ryoto-sama.
I'm so jealous!
With the stars in her eyes, she walked up to the glass and knocked on it.
I was shocked when the glass broke down, freeing the animals.
Rin: "Saki-sama, get behind me!"
Rin got in front of me to protect me from the incoming animals, but strangely enough, they didn't move from the spot.
I looked around and saw Ryoto-sama walking up to them. He looked majestic, like a king or emperor.
Ryoto: "Alme, did you really need to destroy it?"
Alme: "But how else was I supposed to get to them?"
Ryoto: "You weren't but never mind. Now that we can pet them, let's do it."
Ryoto-sama walked up to a tiger and lion without any fear.
Ryoto: "So what do you plan to do?"
Hearing the question, both of the animals laid down on their backs
showing off their bellies.
Ryoto-sama showed a confident smile.
Saki: "Aya!"
Aya: "Already on it."
Aya was already taking pictures of everything Ryoto-sama did. She truly is a great friend.
Ryoto: "Good choice."
He then proceeded to rub the bellies of two big cats. Afterward, Ryoto sat down with these two on both of his sides.
The girl called Alme was, on the other hand sitting on an alligator, riding him like a horse.
Alme: "Hey, Ryoto, are all animals that sensitive to what you just did?"
Ryoto: "I think so. Most animals are great survival instincts, so they recognize when someone is stronger and what I just did makes it a lot easier for them to see it."
Lala also played around with a lot of different animals, but in the end, she sat down next to Ryoto and enjoyed his company while playing with the tiger.
The alligator that Alme was riding walked up to Ryoto as well, so now the three of them were relaxing surrounded by many animals.
Ryoto: "Hey, Risa, do you want to pet anything?"
Risa: "Can I?"
She asked, but she was already walking up to him.
The rest followed suit, and thanks to Ryoto-sama, everyone could get close to an animal of their choosing, and even a noble me was included in that group.
All in all, it was a great Christmas party.
(Ryoto's pov)
The party was fun, but it was time to get plan B ready. The B is, of course, to get Lala's mom on my side because she is the only one able to stop rampaging Gid. I would preferably do it earlier, but I prepared everything I should tell her in what way, manner and tone so she would help me because I'm not sure how she'll react to the news, but she is still better than Gid.
I was now talking to Lala about how she should now call her mother so we could talk to her. I felt ready, but I felt my spider-sense go into overdrive like never before. It's like I could die at any moment, and then I heard from behind a voice a deep voice.
Gid: "Ryoto Yuuki, finally we meet face to face."
