The smoke cleared slowly over the Sainan Town park.
Rito and Run stood at the edge of the crater, staring down at the sleek, pink Devilukean cruiser embedded in the earth. The hatch was wide open, hissing with escaping steam.
"It's empty." Run whispered, clutching Rito's arm. "They're gone."
Rito scanned the area. Though nothing there was giving him a location, but he knew the pattern. Devilukeans didn't just crash and wait for a tow truck, they move.
"They probably teleported." Rito said, scratching his head nervously. "Knowing they are Lala's sisters... they could be anywhere by now."
"Should we search the town for them?" Run asked, looking ready to mobilize her fan club.
"No," Rito sighed, a familiar dread settling in his stomach. "If they came to Earth, there's only one place they'd go. My house."
He looked at Run. "Run, you should go home. If Zastin shows up to take them, it's going to get chaotic. And you have an early shoot tomorrow."
Run pouted, but she nodded. "Fine. But text me if you need backup! As the Second Wife, I am always ready!"
She gave him a quick, encouraging kiss on the cheek and dashed off toward her apartment.
Rito turned back toward his house and ran. He had a bad feeling that his "peaceful day" was about to turn into a classic To Love-Ru disaster.
…
Rito burst through the front door of the Yuuki household, panting.
"I'm home!"
The house was quiet, too quiet.
"Mikan?" Rito called out, kicking off his shoes.
"I'm in the kitchen!" Mikan's voice floated down the hall. "Welcome back. Did you see the ship hovering in the sky?"
"Yeah," Rito said, walking into the living room. "I went to check on it after it crashed in the park. The ship was empty. I think they might be—"
"Rito," Mikan interrupted, poking her head out. She looked annoyed. "Before you panic about aliens... can you check the bath? I asked Lala-san to fill it an hour ago, but I am hearing splashing sounds. She would probably fall asleep in there again."
Rito blinked. "Oh. Okay."
He walked to the changing room. He could hear water splashing and giggling. It sounded like something Lala would do.
'If she falls asleep, she might drown.' Rito thought, his husbandly instincts kicking in.
He didn't think, nor did he knock. He directly went in, still pumped up from the run.
He slid the bathroom door open.
"Lala, don't fall asleep here, okay—?"
While saying that, Rito suddenly froze because when the steam cleared, sitting in the large bathtub were two girls. And neither of them was Lala.
One had pink hair tied in short twin-tails. She was scrubbing her back, looking annoyed, Nana Astar Deviluke.
The other had short pink hair and a serene expression. She was pouring water over her shoulder, Momo Belia Deviluke.
Of course, they were both completely naked.
Rito stood there, his hand on the door handle, his brain short-circuiting.
Nana looked up, and her eyes met Rito's. Her expression shifted from relaxation to pure, unadulterated anger and shame.
"YOU!" Nana shrieked.
She grabbed a plastic washbasin filled with hot water.
"PEEPING TOM!"
She threw it.
If this happened in the original timeline, the basin would have hit Rito square in the face, knocking him out. If this had happened before the darkness explosion, Rito would have barely dodged or tackled it.
But this Rito had survived the Darkness explosion, the one whose body had been mutated.
His body moved on its own, and his hand shot up.
THWACK.
He caught the basin mid-air, just inches from his nose. Water splashed over his hand and shirt, but the plastic didn't hit him.
Nana's jaw dropped. "H-He caught it?!"
She was obviously surprised, after all, even if she and Momo had not inherited Gid's strength like Lala, they were still Devilukeans. They were far stronger than any average earthling.
Momo also blinked, her eyes widening in surprise. She looked at Rito, standing there, flushed, holding the basin, his abdominal muscles clearly visible through his soaked t-shirt.
"Oh my…" Momo whispered.
Rito also realized what he had done, he was still staring at two naked princesses.
His face turned atomic red. The cool reflexes vanished, replaced by his usual shy nature.
"I-I'm so sorry!" Rito yelled, slamming the basin down and spinning around. "I didn't know you guys were inside! Mikan said Lala was in here! I wasn't peeping!"
He scrambled out of the room, sliding the door shut so hard it rattled in the frame.
Inside the bath, Nana crossed her arms, covering her chest. "That... that beast! He has reflexes like a wild animal!"
Momo stared at the closed door, a small, intrigued smile playing on her lips. "He certainly does. And did you see his eyes? They were... quite intense."
…
Ten minutes later, the Yuuki living room was tense.
Nana and Momo were dressed in their casual clothes, a punk outfit for Nana, a frilly dress for Momo, sitting on the sofa. Mikan sat opposite them, pouring tea with a coolness that suggested she was calculating the cost of the bathwater they had used.
Rito sat in the corner, nursing a cup of tea, trying to make himself invisible.
"Nana-chan! Momo-chan!"
The door burst open. Lala flew in, still wearing her pajamas. She had, in fact, been asleep in the attic. Upon arrival, she immediately tackled her sisters in a group hug.
"I missed you guys! Why didn't you guys tell me you were coming?!" Lala cheered, rubbing her cheek against Nana's.
"We couldn't…" Nana grumbled, pushing Lala off but smiling slightly. "We ran away. Father was being annoying about studying. I don't like reading so much about history, royalty, etc."
"I also don't like those subjects." Lala agreed.
Nana's eyes flicked to Rito, and her expression hardened.
"But more importantly, onee-sama." Nana pointed a finger at him. "Why are you engaged to him? He's a beast! He's weak and he also broke into the bathroom while we were naked and peeped at us!"
"I didn't peep!" Rito protested weakly. "And I caught the basin!"
"That's just the reflexes of a repeat offender for all I know!" Nana sniffed. "He's no good."
"He's Rito!" Lala defended him, wrapping an arm around his neck. "He's the best person in the world! He loves and protects everyone!"
Momo leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand. Her purple eyes were sharp, dissecting the dynamic in the room.
"Ne, onee-sama," Momo asked sweetly. "Since you like him so much... how far have you gone?"
"Cough…"
Rito choked on his tea.
"How far?" Lala blinked.
"Have you kissed?" Momo pressed. "Have you... done things, you know, the things adults do?"
Nana blushed. "Momo! That's improper! And they aren't married yet!"
Lala looked at Rito. Then she looked at her sisters. A bright, proud smile spread across her face.
"Kissed?" Lala laughed. "We did way more than that! I have the Seal!"
"Seal?" Nana asked.
Lala stood up, and without a shred of hesitation, she lifted the hem of her pajama top.
There, on her stomach, the Golden Heart Seal #1 glowed softly in the living room light.
Nana gasped, covering her mouth. "No way..."
Momo's eyes widened. She stood up and walked over, crouching down to look closely. She reached out a finger to touch the mark.
"It's real." Momo whispered. "A real engagement mark. A kind of soul bond."
She looked up at Rito.
"You... you really did it to her." Momo said. Her voice wasn't angry, it was awestruck. "Before marriage? In this house?"
"Y-Yeah," Rito muttered, his face burning red as he looked away. "I... I love her. So—"
"I knew it! He's a beast!" Nana shrieked, her face turning red. "He defiled the First Princess even before official marriage! He's a animal in human skin!"
"Well, he's the future King," Momo corrected quietly, standing up. She looked at Rito with a new, dangerous interest. "So, the other rumours were also true, right? You aren't just onee-sama's fiancé, you're building a harem."
Before Rito could process that terrifying statement, the window shattered.
CRASH!
Zastin burst through the glass, landing in a pile of shards.
"PRINCESSES!" Zastin roared, striking a pose. "I HAVE FOUND YOU! NOW RETURN TO YOUR STUDIES!"
"Geh! Zastin!" Nana grabbed Momo's hand. "Run! I'm not doing that!"
"Sorry, Zastin-san!" Momo called back, winking at Rito. "We'll talk later, Rito-san!"
The twins bolted out the back door, leaving Zastin groaning on the floor and Rito staring at the spot where Momo had been, feeling a chill go down his spine.
