章 24: If it's him... maybe...
"Huh? Saya-ojousama?"
"Ojousama?!"
"Call the others! Call the Master and the Madam, too! Hurry up and open the wall!"
There was no drama or whatever.
With Isao's new ability to control those "things," their journey was so smooth that they didn't even encounter those "things." Even if they did, Isao simply moved them away with his ability.
Nevertheless, there was no doubt that everyone's gaze on Isao had changed so much during this trip since they didn't expect their trip to be so easy.
Everything was all due to him, they thought.
Naturally, when they got close to Saya's house, Isao told Saya to stay in the front, and as expected, those who worked under Saya's parents and stayed in Saya's house quickly noticed them.
Yet, there was no doubt their decision to come to Saya's house was one of the best, considering how her house even set up several barriers in their surroundings so those "things" wouldn't be able to get close to the house. Moreover, this barrier was so large that it expanded to the surrounding neighborhood.
While this barrier wasn't perfect, and it was made with wires and concrete, it was enough to stop "them," as "they" lacked the ability to think or even pass through those full of opening barriers.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so glum?" Isao noticed that Saya appeared so complicated even though she was about to meet her parents.
"No... it's okay..." Even so, Saya still had a complicated expression on her face.
"By the way, Senpai."
"What?"
"Tell your parents that I want a single room with an inside bathroom."
"....."
Saya stared at Isao speechlessly. Did this guy think that her house was a hotel? Yet, somehow, she calmed down her complicated mood due to Isao's selfish wish. However, even if this was selfish, it didn't matter since she knew everything could happen all because of Isao, and his wish was nothing compared to what he had done.
With their identity known, no one stopped them, and their trip was even smoother. Moreover, the moment they arrived at Saya's house, which happened to be a mansion, which caused everyone to look at the house in awe; they saw two people, a man and a woman, who were different from the group, clearly showing their status as the leaders of the group.
While Saya wanted to leap toward them immediately, she endured it, only staring at them with teary eyes.
The two people, the man, and the woman, also looked at Saya, who was in a mess, feeling incredible, happy, and heartbroken since they knew the journey of their daughter to go home definitely wasn't easy. At the same time, they noticed the young man standing by their daughter's side.
Isao's appearance was just that attractive, and his bearings clearly showed that he was the leader of this group. They could see that he was the one who led their daughter and this group of students and teachers to their house.
"Saya..."
Nevertheless, Saya's mother hugged her daughter tightly, happy that she could meet her daughter.
"Ugh..." Saya wanted to stop her tears, but she couldn't, and in the end, she cried.
"Good job for coming this far," Saya's father also gently patted her daughter's head.
Isao and the rest didn't say anything. Nevertheless, Isao, Kyoko, and Shizuka aside, there was no doubt the rest were quite jealous since they didn't know they didn't know how their families were.
"Are you the one who leads my daughter and everyone here?" Saya's Takagi, a fierce man who appeared to be someone with a military background, looked at Isao curiously.
"It's not my effort alone. We work together on this journey, and to be honest, our purpose is to come here to search for a safe place instead of bringing your daughter back, so I am sorry for being straightforward, but can you postpone your moving reunion since all of us are exhausted now."
While Saya's reunion was moving, Isao also needed to take care of the overall situation, especially when everyone's mood was horrible, and they also had envy toward Saya, whose parents were all well.
"Haha..." Hearing Isao's blunt words, the man merely laughed. "You have come to the right place, then. This place is safe. You can rest safely here. I am sure that all of you are tired. Everyone leads them inside. Let them have a good rest." He also noticed everyone's mood and decisively settled everything.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Before they moved, Saya's father couldn't help but ask Isao.
"Iinuma Isao." Isao stopped and asked, "How about you, Sir?"
"My name is Souichiro Takagi. I am Saya's father, and I am grateful for what you have done."
"In this type of environment, it is something natural for us to do."
Isao didn't forget to hold Souichiro's hand, trying to replicate this man's DNA. Frankly, even though he had said the process of "replicating" was long, it wasn't that long, to be honest.
While it was a shame that his physical ability couldn't get stronger, the "replicate" was undoubtedly more effective, especially when he used it against living people. After all, he wasn't someone who would kill others for the benefit that came from others' DNA. There were so many people in this world, and many of them died due to "them," so why should he target the living whose numbers already dwindled due to this disaster?
So replicating was the best choice for him.
Nevertheless, Souchiro felt surprised by Isao, who didn't flinch and held his hand with the same strength as him, showing that his presence didn't intimidate him.
Rather, while Souchiro's presence was strong and intimidated many due to his military-like appearance, Isao also didn't lose and probably... was better since he was more handsome.
However, watching this scene, Saya's mother stared at Isao for a while, shaking her head as she fell into a daze, then her husband to fix her mood before she looked at the women in Isao's group, who kept staring at Isao. Then, her daughter, who was in his arms, whose eyes were also staring at Isao's.
"..."
Saya's mother chuckled and said, "He is a rare man."
"Well..."
Saya couldn't deny it since it was her first time seeing someone like Isao. However, this guy wasn't perfect, as this guy had sex with his teacher. Still, was that the truth? Or was that a lie? She wasn't sure, but somehow she could imagine that it was a lie made by him so she could calm down.
"Do you like him?"
"Wh-What are you talking about, Mom?!"
Saya looked at her mother in shock, blushing as her face was so hot.
"You don't need to get embarrassed like that." Saya's mother smiled softly. "However, if you act like that, you might miss him since you are not the only one who feels that way, right?" She could tell that Isao was charming, and her daughter definitely wasn't the only one who thought so. If her daughter always acted like this, then... she could imagine Saya's sorry self.
"...."
Saya glanced at the others, especially the women in their group, including Yuuki Miku, who had always wanted to sleep with Isao. Yet, she knew Miku wasn't the only one, as there were more dangerous opponents within that group whose firepower wasn't even lost to her.
Frankly, Saya probably shouldn't have bothered with Isao, and she also didn't have feelings for him. Yet, there was no doubt that it felt awful when she thought he would be with others.
"Oh, right, Mom, I have promised him something. Can you..."
Saya wasn't sure how she felt toward that guy, but she knew she wouldn't let the others make a move on him, especially since she knew how rare this kind of man was in this world.

By the way, while it might be early, which world do you want to be the next?
I plan to go with Danmachi, One Piece, or JJK, but what do you think?
