    Edited by: Tiny Fan Fiction


    Chapter 65 Alien, you really like humans, don’t you?

    Why do humans hurt each other?

    Searching.

    [1: Interests…]

    [2: Competition…]

    [3: Conflict…]

    The night of the incident.

    After spending the evening with Yukino Yukinoshita finishing up the initial investigation on Ayumu (step/walk) and finding no leads, Asakura Yuu decided to take a shortcut…aka crowdsourcing.

    Momo is a big deal in the C language community, after all.

    Momo’s room, night time.

    “Asakura-sama, humans are such a silly species. They hurl insults at their own kind and gain a sense of superiority from it. It’s beyond my comprehension, Momo,” Momo flipped through encyclopedia entries on her phone with her left hand while typing furiously on her laptop keyboard with her right.

    Asakura Yuu sat on the edge of Momo’s bed, “I guess you could say I’m a human too, you know?”

    ‘That’s a wrong statement, I’m not a foolish Earthling,’ Momo thought with a smirk.

    As a Deviluke, we are a warrior race.

    We wouldn’t have these strange, convoluted thoughts.

    We prefer to settle things with brute force, the most primal way.

    “That’s how people are. Even if they don’t say it out loud, who knows what they’re thinking inside? Just like 2 parallel lines,”

    They’ll never intersect!

    “There are kind and gentle people too, right?”

    “What if a kind person becomes a victim? Will they still be kind? In my view, humans will eventually all turn bad,” Asakura Yuu countered.

    “They will.” Momo’s voice held unexpected seriousness.

    “Asakura-sama is proof of that, isn’t he? Humans who remain kind even after being hurt do exist, you know.”

    Because you’ve been rained on, you want to shield others from the rain… even if your own shoulders get soaked, it doesn’t matter.

    That’s how gentle you are.

    “I guess I chat with you too much. You’re starting to know me too well.”

    “The more we understand each other, the closer our hearts become. I enjoy that feeling,” Momo turned to look at him, “Asakura-sama chooses to rely on me, and I’m happy.”

    Asakura Yuu also didn’t refute: “Leave the things you are not good at to others. I call this talent [leadership]. This is a necessary quality for heroes. I think it’s quite handsome.”

    ​​”It’s obviously me doing things.”

    “Over a decade ago, the internet was still a novel thing, and only the school’s official channels could establish a forum that early. Its predecessor was the school forum, and it’s just been renamed since then.”

    Even with such prerequisites, due to privacy concerns, trying to request the school to retrieve a certain student’s information would surely be met with resistance.

    Luckily, I have a tech-savvy older sister at home… it’s shocking to realize this, no matter how many times I think about it.

    A lady who can program and even has hacker skills – what kind of creature is this?

    Have humans on Earth evolved to this point already?

    Why didn’t they take me along for the ride?

    “Now that we’ve found the culprit, Asakura-sama, are you sure you still want to go through with that plan from earlier?”

    “…whether it’s positive or negative, the number of people paying attention to me will only increase compared to Yui. The plan to attract attention should work, right?”

    “But, Asakura-sama, if you do something like that, your reputation will become terrible…”

    “It doesn’t matter; it’s already bad enough. A notorious person can do all sorts of terrible things without surprising anyone. On the contrary, it’s better this way – I can quietly become a nameless hero and take all the blame upon myself.”

    Yeah, super cool!

    “Yukinoshita-sama would be heartbroken if she found out.”

    “She’s not as concerned about me as you think. Besides, she already knows.”

    Momo had thought that Yukino Yukinoshita liked Asakura Yuu but just didn’t express her feelings because she was tsundere.

    But now, it seems that was a misjudgment!

    ‘Hasn’t Yukinoshita-sama been added to Asakura-sama’s harem yet?’

    Because if Yukinoshita-sama liked Asakura-sama, she wouldn’t agree to this proposal!

    Letting the person you like ‘self-destruct’ would hurt, you know~

    My heart hurts now, Asakura-sama.

    However, letting the person you like do what they want to do is also a charming point for women, so I won’t oppose you.

    Asakura Yuu explained, “Concealment is the beginning of misunderstandings. I don’t want to, nor will I, hide everything and then go self-destruct, thus hurting the people I cherish.”

    It’s better to speak directly; hiding things only makes it worse.

    For Yukino Yukinoshita and Asakura Yuu, this kind of communication method is more suitable.

    “Asakura-sama, listen to me…”

    After capturing Asakura Yuu’s attention, Momo raised her right index finger to her lips and, with an adorable expression like an idol from TV, said, “I have a secret to tell you too.”

    “What is it?”

    Is your family’s bodyguard coming to catch someone?

    “Hmm, about the reason I convinced my father to let me live here.”

    “The reason?”

    She never really explained it in detail, Asakura Yuu remembered.

    “How should I put it?” Momo touched her snow-white cheek with her finger, thinking for a few seconds, her black plum-shaped tail swaying gently behind her as she smiled and said:

    “If a girl wants to leave her birth family, there’s a super simple method. I told my father back then… [Dad, I’ve found someone I like, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. We’ve even secretly gotten engaged]”

    “And my father replied… [That’s great, we can stop arranging blind dates for your sister Lala. I’ve always wanted an heir, and you’re doing a great job, daughter.]” Her tone was impeccable.

    But the content left Asakura Yuu speechless.

    I’m going to get engaged to you?

    How was I supposed to know?

    Q: Does your husband know he’s your husband?

    A: No idea!

    “It’s going to be tough now. My father has a bad temper, and if he finds out I was lying to him, I’ll be in trouble.”

    How much trouble?

    The earth might even get destroyed.

    Isn’t that scary?

    Momo fantasized about the future on her own: “To fill this gap, let’s aim to get engaged within 6 months and married within a year. Is that okay? We can have the wedding in my hometown, and for the honeymoon, we can go to a popular place…”

    “Momo, I did say I didn’t want to work too hard, but you’re forcing me to eat soft rice…”

    “Ara.”

    Momo looked at his interesting expression and tilted her head: “Does Asakura-sama have any objections? If you think it’s too fast, we can… hmm, postpone it. Let’s get engaged in a year and married in 3 years. Is that okay?”

    “No, no, no! It’s not about the time! We’re still minors, right? We should be thinking about the troubles of adolescence, the pressure of studying, and our future expectations, not getting married! Right?” Asakura Yuu couldn’t help but become the role of a commentator.

    The news was just too explosive.

    How did he suddenly become the husband of a rich girl’s secret engagement?

    Asakura Yuu, who was questioning his life, quickly got an answer…

    “I know, you must be joking, it has to be that way.”

    Asakura Yuu’s dream was to become a warm and sunny person, not a soft rice eater.

    Even if, by chance, he had to eat soft rice, but in just a year?

    That was too early.

    In that short amount of time, even if the system was very powerful, it couldn’t make him become a ‘sun’!

    Asakura Yuu had always seen the system as a tool to achieve his dreams, traveling (tour) through a bunch of troublesome beauties, working hard to achieve his dreams.

    So you’re telling me out of the blue that by marrying this lady in front of me, I can get things that ordinary people can’t even dream of achieving in a lifetime?

    I wanted to shout my objections.

    But, you’re offering way too much, aren’t you?

    Asakura Yuu, you must become the sun before you’re corrupted by capital!

    I believe you can do it!

    “This is no joke, Asakura-sama. I promise to make you happy! Through sickness and health, poverty or wealth…”

    Momo paused mid-sentence, turned her head, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

    Her cherry-colored lips parted in a soft laugh.

    For some reason, Asakura Yuu felt a sense of relief in her heart.

    A rich girl falling for a poor guy is as unlikely as an alien falling for a human.

    It’s just not scientific.

    It must be for her amusement, right?

    ‘Wait, aliens liking humans.’

    Why does this feel so familiar?

    A few seconds later, Asakura Yuu’s mind drifted to a tokusatsu show she had watched recently, and the line, ‘Ultraman, do you really like humans that much?’

    There really are aliens who like Earthlings?

    That’s shocking!
