"Well, that is true. But it's not like I am in a rush or anything. After all, I'll be staying here from now on, right~?", Lala happily chirped.

"Oh nononono, now listen here--?", I tried to say, but I couldn't even finish my sentence before I heard an imposing voice call out to us. Even Lala paused hearing this voice.

"Is what you just said true, Lala-sama?", A man's voice called out. Shortly after, I started to hear a low rumbling, before a loud noise struck the bathroom. Immediately following that, the ceiling of the bathroom started to crumble away, at least a certain part of it, revealing a cylindrical shape.

What replaced it was a large beam crashing down right into it, only to show a large UFO-like object in the sky. A beam of light descended downward, bringing three figures down. I saw a large man dressed in weird adorned armor I hadn't seen before, along with a couple bodyguard-like men dressed in black suits.

"Zastin!", Lala said, welcoming the armored man.

But with them doing that, my bathroom was now thoroughly destroyed, and water was starting to pour down onto the floor now, soaking our feet.

"Lala-sama, is what you just said about being engaged to this earthling true?", The man who Lala addressed as Zastin asked with a serious look in his eyes. Lala nodded her head.

"Yeah! We just held Planet Deviluke's tradition and I accepted it~", Lala responded, clapping her hands together.

"Now wait a minute, what's this about accepting anything--?", I tried to say again, only to be interrupted by Zastin. I saw his body lean downward my way, trying to act menacingly.

"Are you suggesting what Lala-sama did is a mistake, earthling? Everything Lala-sama does has purpose. After all, she is the first princess of the planet that rules the Milky Way. Many suitors propose each day to her in hopes of even having the slightest of chances to rule such a planet. If you turn Lala-sama down, it'll be the same as mocking His Majesty.", Zastin said with a serious look in his eyes.

"Oh come on, don't be mean Zastin. We may not even know each other's names yet, but it is true! Or perhaps...you don't like me?", Lala questioned, and started to make puppy eyes at me.

"...", I don't even know what to think anymore.

It was playing out very similarly to how Lala appeared out of nowhere at Rito's house, but she came to mine instead...

I don't want the likely strongest race in the closest galaxy to Planet Earth as my enemy. Saiyans were still more powerful than King Deviluke, but Saiyans probably resided outside the Milky Way. Or what was left of them anyway, thanks to Frieza's meddling. With Goku being sixteen years old, Planet Vegeta was probably long gone by now.

"Fine. We can have a more appropriate talk about it over dinner. You did destroy my bath too. You'll compensate for that right?", I asked, looking at the armored man.

"Of course. You are now treated as Lala-sama's fiancé, so your expenses are hers. We will cover any damages accrued. It sounds like you are going to have dinner, but I need to report this to His Majesty first. Excuse me.", Zastin said, grabbing out a device of sorts that looked very high-tech.

After a few taps on it, a holo panel showed up, revealing a boy with rather spiky black hair and red eyes. He appeared to be a boy right now sitting on a throne of sorts, but this appearance was just temporary. Devilukeans have the ability to alter their image, mostly by exhausting their power, but I assume royalty works differently here. I bet he had this child-like appearance because he was trying to suppress his powers.

I could see a serious look in the boy's eyes. His eyes appeared very sharp, and he had shark-like teeth.

"Papa!", Lala happily said, seeing the boy appear on screen.

"Has the target been secured?", The boy asked Zastin, ignoring Lala completely. Seeing him do this caused Lala to puff her cheeks out. Lala doing that was rather cute.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Lala-sama has been placed under our care again. There is something to report, however. It would appear Lala-sama has accepted the engagement rite with an earthling.", Zastin reported, causing the boy's eyes to raise up.

"Oho?", The boy said, moving his eyes around before spotting me next to Lala.

"This is most pleasant news you have reported to me, Zastin. It would seem my worries will finally be put to rest.", The boy mused. He then had another look at me.

"But you don't seem to be a normal earthling. Who are you?", King Deviluke decided to ask.

"Baki Hanma, Your Majesty. It's a pleasure.", I said with a polite tone.

"Ehhh? So your name is Baki huh?", Lala also said, shifting her eyes my way.

"Baki-san, is it? I leave Lala in your care during her stay at Planet Earth. By custom, should you express your desire, you have three days to cancel the engagement. I will inform my vassals that it has been approved. All you need to do is touch her breasts again with the intent to cancel it.", King Deviluke said, before promptly hanging up the holo panel.

It was just us now, with a bathroom piling up with water. It was well over my ankles now.

"Hehe, even Papa approved it. Can I call you Baki-kun?", Lala asked.

"I don't mind.", I said, shaking my head.

"Then I will leave you two to it, it is most excellent. His Majesty is pleased by this result. I do hope you take these next three days seriously, Baki-san.", Zastin also said, before he moved back to where the giant hole in the ceiling was, and got beamed up by the large UFO-like spaceship currently in the sky. It appeared cloaked so it was likely invisible to others.

"...", I tried to utter, but remained silent. Lala just happily hummed next to me, clinging to my arm as she did. I felt two very soft mounds press against it, realizing that all of this happened while the two of us were naked.

Great. Just great.

But this wasn't bad, I suppose?

Lala was a pretty girl at the very least. Her situation was different. She was part of a royal lineage and an alien no less. Her marrying meant someone would eventually become the new king of Planet Deviluke. That was the severity of this situation I was placed in.

It's not like I was against it, but it also wasn't like I was left with little to no option either. I would see how these next three days go before this so-called marriage gets finalized. Despite Lala's easygoing attitude, she accepted quite easily.

Zastin had left and it was just Lala and I now.

"Let's go freshen up. I'll prep dinner after, but go get some clothes first. You can find some spares in the nearby hamper. I need to quickly turn off the water first.", I said, causing Lala to look at me.

"Oh you needn't worry about that, Baki-kun. Peke should be on his way shortly. I'll come down after!", Lala said.

"Peke?", I asked with interest.

"Yep!, Lala replied. "I'll see you down in a couple minutes.", Lala continued to say.

I shrugged my shoulders, and quickly used this opportunity to sift through the water like I was gliding. Lala only blinked her eyes not expecting this.

Some water gushed out onto the carpets, dampening them as I proceeded to turn off the water. Something that'd have to be fixed, but I heard some humming in the distance after leaving the bathroom. Contrary to my expectations, it would seem the roof got repaired rather quickly.

As expected of a high-tech civilization.

I saw Lala happily humming dressed in a weird outfit while drying her hair off with a white towel. I too had changed into casual clothes that only made my muscles more apparent through it.

"So you're the earthling Lala-sama got acquainted with?", A voice called out to me, seemingly out of nowhere.

"You must be Peke.", I said.

"Yep! Peke is my all-costume purpose robot. As long as I have the schematics for it, Peke will turn into any outfit I please.", Lala happily answered.

"I see. I guess it can talk too, so it's nice to meet you. You really are an alien huh? You look pretty human to me.", I said, observing the pink-haired girl as we walked on the damp carpet, reaching the first floor of my house. "Oh and thanks for fixing the roof. That was going to be a pain if it wasn't dealt with.", I continued to say.

"It's nice to meet you.", Peke said, despite not seeing any figure the voice came from. It was weird to hear this voice, but Peke was probably Lala's current outfit.

"I really am an alien. Look, humans don't have these, do they?", Lala asked, drawing my interest as she turned around a bit. Pointing her butt outward, I could see a black tail sticking out with a spade-shape tip.

"Heh, we definitely don't have tails.", I responded. "How are you with eating meat, by the way? I was thinking of making something simple, we could do sukiyaki.", I suggested.

"Grilled meat and veggies are delicious, so I don't mind!', Lala happily answered. Her tail swerved around, it was obvious to tell she was happy by it.

Well, I guess this household gained one member, even if it was just temporary. But who knew, maybe it would become permanent?

I stand on my previous statement too. I have taken over Baki's body but I do not find Kozue attractive as Baki did. I have no plans to enter a relationship with Kozue. She is but a childhood friend in my eyes.

As we walked down, Lala's eyes lit up seeing Musashi's appearance on the floor, resting.

As it was starting to kick into reality that I wasn't alone in the house anymore, I realized that Lala was in fact, an alien. And all of that just happened. I recalled just what was placed in this meshed up world of mine.

There's no way this event didn't go unnoticed, right?

Well, even if it did, it's possible more uninvited neighbors may be approaching my way in the coming days. For now, I just smiled at the pink-haired girl.

"Say Lala, you seem to be rather acquainted with the culture we earthlings have.", I decided to ask with interest.

"Yep! Papa rules the entire Milky Way, and my sisters and I have studied several different kinds of planets, Earth being one of them. Planet Earth seems to have schools like we do, you're a student to one of them, aren't you?", Lala asked with interest too. As we began to talk, I brought out the small ironing plate that allowed one to grill sukiyaki on it. We did it in front of ourselves, so it was an easy dinner to make.

"That's the gist of it. Our current year just started actually. Due to an unavoidable situation, however, I am currently on leave during the first week of it.", I said, telling a white lie to Lala.

"On leave huh? Did you something?", Lala asked as she started to relish her grilled meat.

"More or less. I'm set to return next Monday. But seeing you're going to be here with me, I could introduce you to the faculty and get you enrolled. It shouldn't be hard. In fact, one of its teachers lives next door, so I could explain the situation to him.", I said, recalling that Gojo-sensei lived to the left of me.

"Okay! I've always had an interest in studying in a foreign school like this. I just won't be able to see you, right?", Lala said, revealing a light frown.

"Haha, 'fraid not. Besides, I'll be busy training for an upcoming match happening this weekend. That'll be boring for you I bet.", I said. Lala just blinked her eyes at me.

"Training?", Lala asked.

"Yeah. Did you forget I had these?", I said, deciding to flex a bit of my arms. Bulging muscles appeared, causing Lala to look my way.

"You do seem not like your average earthling. You appear quite strong.", Peke also chimed in.

"I'm a fighter, what'd you expect? That Zastin person also looked strong, I bet I could take him down a peg or two?", I said with a grin.

"You really do fight? Zastin isn't a slouch you know. He's quite strong, despite his appearance in the royal guard.", Lala also said, nodding her head.

"Then tell you what, come to the arena this weekend. You'd be surprised to see how much we earthlings have to offer. There's plenty of us who can easily be superhuman.", I said.

"Superhuman...Papa did say a Devilukean's strength is on a larger scale than other planets. This might be fun.", Lala said, clapping her hands together.

Wait, now that I think about it, Lala possesses superhuman strength too, doesn't she? Even on the day Rito was late for school one time, Lala would enter a dash that could rival a car's speed, dragging him along in a panic.

Maybe I should introduce her to fighting?

Thinking that, the smell of roasted meat and cut up vegetables began to waft around the dining room. Lala's appearance was definitely new to me. What all happened just now should have taken place at Rito's house, not mine. Considering he was the protagonist of the To-Love Ru series. With Lala being with me now, I wonder, how much of that story will change?
