Family and status
"Have you finished talking with your friend? I was a bit worried for a moment, but Hirano-kun said it was better to leave you two alone."
Matsushima said relieved as she handed me back the radio. It seems Kohta acted quickly and got them out of there before they saw too much. He probably came up with some excuse when I drew my sword, maybe said they saw it wrong or something.
We were sitting next to the Humvee that I pulled out of the inventory without anyone seeing. Well, I was next to the Humvee; the girls had pulled Saeko into the car and were talking about what the fight was about. But with the door closed, it was hard to hear.
Kohta and Takashi took Alice and went to play with her. Asami also volunteered to go with them, so the three of them were a few meters away playing tag. It was funny how Alice really seemed to be winning, and not them letting her win.
I took my eyes off the massacre that Alice was making of Kohta's pride and turned my gaze back to the black-haired policewoman.
"It was nothing, really. But what about you, what did you and Souichiro decide?" I said, changing the subject. I don't want to explain why the fight happened or why Saeko now kept calling me master; that's enough...
[GeniusBillionairePlayboy]: DS slavery? I didn't think you were so eccentric. Do you want me to look up some tips on the internet for you? (Innocently asking Iron Man emote).
[GeniusBillionairePlayboy]: Now I understand why you're so fixated on those chains. I thought it might be the runes, but apparently it's for something else... (Iron Man emote saying eureka!).
[GeniusBillionairePlayboy]: Now I know what I'm going to send you for your birthday: a latex bodysuit. What do you think? (Innocently asking Iron Man emote).
I could mute him, of course, but that meant he won. I'd rather die than admit that. At least the others were silent. Dumbledore didn't say anything, probably out of respect or something. He was the friendliest, aside from Red.
Fukasaku, I don't know. The toad was old; from what I remembered, he was almost a thousand years old or something like that. I also didn't know much about his personality, so I don't know why he didn't comment. And Jiraiya... I really don't know if it's good or bad that he didn't comment.
If I ended up finding an Icha Icha with my name written on it and something about BDSM, I unfortunately would have to leave Naruto without his sensei, for the greater good.
Taking a deep breath, I ignored the messages from the idiot with the last name Stark and focused on the conversation while listening.
The black-haired policewoman thought for a moment and raised her finger to her chin as she responded.
"I gave Souichiro-sama the coordinates of the mall. He said he could come with a rescue group in about three hours, maybe a little more." She seemed relieved, probably with the promise of rescue on the way.
She looked at me with a somewhat admiring and confused expression before asking me, "If I may ask, where do you know Souichiro-sama from? Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course." She waved her hands quickly as she realized that I might interpret the question wrongly.
But seriously, "Souichiro-sama"? Either she had fallen in love with the guy in less than ten minutes of conversation, or he had enough influence for even an ordinary policewoman to know and admire him.
Usually, I would guess the second option, but considering it's Japan, the first one was equally likely, so I wouldn't assume anything.
"Because I'm not Japanese, perhaps?"
I raised an eyebrow as I asked. Most people, from what Saya told me, thought her father was an ultra-nationalist. Even Saya thought so, so it wasn't surprising.
I could see that she blushed a bit, embarrassed that I figured out the reason for the question, but I didn't comment and continued.
"He's an acquaintance of mine, so to speak." Calling him a friend would be revealing; calling him a father-in-law was too early. Let's stick with acquaintance for now. "We don't talk much, but that's what it is."
I leaned against the Humvee as I glanced sideways into the car. I'm glad I positioned the camera at an angle that didn't show the inside of the vehicle, as I didn't know why or how Saya and Saeko ended up shirtless while glaring at each other.
They were almost kissing at this point, growling at each other, their breasts touching, while Rei and Shizuka looked at them from the corner. Rei seemed to want to say something but ended up staying silent as she watched, and Shizuka just seemed to want to end the conflict.
They looked like two "predators" staring each other down, if I could say so, with Saeko being a mature panther facing a lion cub that somehow managed to make the panther step back.
I looked away. As sexy as the scene was, I didn't want anyone else to see. So, I walked away from the Humvee, calling the policewoman to walk with me.
Before the car went out of range of my inventory, I manifested two T-shirts, one on Saya's lap and one on Saeko's lap, so they would realize that if I noticed their state, others could too.
With that done, I turned my attention back to Matsushima and resumed our conversation as we walked. I intended to resolve everything here in no more than half an hour and get back on the road.
We didn't talk for long. She just thanked me for helping her, even though I hadn't done anything other than call Saya's father, but that's okay. I just nodded as I bid her farewell and watched her return to the mall.
Returning to the group, I could see that the girls had already left the Humvee, dressed, for some reason, in the T-shirts I threw on them earlier. Shrugging, I approached while speaking.
"Everything is basically resolved here, your father," I said, pointing at Saya. "He should be here in a few hours. The mall group will just be waiting. We're leaving in ten minutes. Take the time to grab something to eat and use the bathroom. We have a road ahead of us."
Receiving various nods from the group, I turned and let them do their things. In the meantime, I called Souichiro again.
"Devas, if you're in the loop about the rescue group for the mall survivors, I'm already organizing them. Over."
Straight to the point, I see, but that's not what I was going to talk about.
"It's not about that; there's a guy in the mall group who gives me a strange vibe, so keep an eye on him if possible. Over."
"How strange? Over."
I remembered the feeling the guy in the black hat gave me before. "Strange like he seems like a rapist, the way he looked at Shizuka, the nurse in my group, doesn't sit well with me. Over."
I won't judge the guy for crimes he hasn't committed, but I still didn't like him. With this, Souichiro could keep an eye on him if something happened.
The line went silent for some time before Souichiro spoke.
"I understand... as you must know, I don't like that kind of person. What does he look like? Over." We're two of a kind, my friend, we're two of a kind.
I gave the description of the guy in the black hat to Saya's father before hanging up and telling him that Saya would call tomorrow to talk to her mom and him.
Returning to the car, the group was already settled. It was basically the same formation as always, with Shizuka and Alice in the back seat. This time, Rei was there again, playing with the little girl.
Beside them, the two cursed ones, as Kohta and Takashi were once again sitting on each other's laps. It was starting to make me feel sorry for them at this point, but it was still funny.
Saeko had taken the front passenger seat, and as always, Saya was on my lap. The only real difference was that when I started driving this time, Saya was intentionally rubbing against me, and many times she looked at Saeko while doing so.
I ignored the little cold war between the lion cub and the samurai panther while focusing on the road, but before that, I commented aloud.
"Kohta, I thought you'd like to stay with the mall group while waiting for Saya's father."
It didn't take long for the voice of our group's shooter to come from the back seat.
"Nah, Asami-san knows how to take care of herself; she's a good policewoman, and her senpai, Matsushima-san, is experienced, no need to worry."
I just sighed as I pulled Saya closer to me and hushed her to be quiet so I could drive more easily.
"You know that's not why I asked, Kohta, you know that. But I'm glad you came with us." I could practically hear his smile from the back seat.
"I couldn't leave you guys; you're my friends." He had a happy tone as he spoke. "And in the end, Asami-san will be in the Takagi property; I can talk to her later."
I just nodded as I smiled; this was just one of the reasons why Kohta was one of the three characters whose names I remembered in this world.
The rest of the trip was normal; I drove at a good speed, so we arrived at Rei's house just before dusk, with the sky already tinted orange.
Getting out of the Humvee, I equipped my armor while the group got ready in case there was a fight. I parked right in front of her house, so Alice and Shizuka could stay in the car without problems, but just in case, I left Kohta as a guard on the roof of the Humvee as we entered the house.
There wasn't much tension; the place seemed untouched, no bloodstains or signs of a fight, but no sign of the spear girl's parents. I could see Rei getting worried since there was no sign of her parents, but Saya was the savior, the tsundere was the one who found a note on the kitchen table. A note written by Rei's mother.
The note was from Rei's mother, basically saying that she had gone to the nearby high school and sought shelter there with a group of survivors. I could see Rei visibly relax with this, as now she knew that at least her mother was safe.
With just these two pieces of information, Analyze: Item was already worth the huge price it cost to analyze people, and there was even more. Moving on to the next, her current status, which said healthy.

[Healthy: Due to ingesting a potion that stimulated the organism and then a "substance" rich in mana concentrated from another world, the activation process of the host's mana was initiated.
Estimated time: 38 days, 21 hours, 58 minutes, and 23 seconds.
Slightly hungry but less than expected due to having consumed a "substance" richer in mana than the normal food of this world. ("Satiated")]
---
I didn't even need to think to figure out what kind of "substance" this was. It seems that the mana I had in my semen wasn't enough to fully activate Saya's mana, but it was enough to energize her, who would have thought.
I massaged my forehead while waiting for the slight redness in my cheeks to disappear. I'm glad the stream is off. Stark may be many things, but he's not stupid. It wouldn't take long for him to connect the dots and figure out that I was the thing with mana from another world, so clearly, this "substance" had to come from me.
Funny how this seemed to have come out of a hentai script or game. Now I could activate people's mana just by them drinking my semen. What's next? The taste of my cum being delicious to whoever tries it?...
Sighing, I moved on to the next part of the status. Racial Traits.

[Sexual Instinct (Female) - Ranking C-]
Description: Humans in this world have better instincts when it comes to anything sexual, quickly learning about themselves and their partners.
Function: Moderately increases everything related to something sexual.
---
Humans in this world were a complete joke, unbelievable! I was indignant to this point; all the advantages they had were related to sex? They had mana in the atmosphere, for God's sake! Wasn't anything related to that?!
I had to take a few seconds to calm myself before moving on to the part that interested me the most: the skills.
Clicking on the symbol next to the skills, a huge list appeared; there were various, most of them being common everyday skills, such as:
---
[Study - Ranking D-]
Description: Saya is a model student; she strives in all areas to be the best in school.
Function: Slightly increases focus while studying. Slightly increases learning while studying. Slightly decreases the difficulty of learning.
---
There were many similar to these, like cooking, reading, running; there were a lot, but they were all basically between ranks F- and D+, none really surpassed that.
And, finally, the description, which was basically this, a description of Saya; I briefly read it before closing it, aside from the fact that it was really long, it didn't say anything more than I didn't know from living with Saya.
I took a deep breath as I let my body relax on the couch; I had spent some time reading. Glancing at the clock on my phone, about half an hour had passed, and by the smell coming from the kitchen, the food should be almost ready.
I spent a few seconds just absorbing the information that had fallen into my lap before a thought hit me. Could I analyze myself? Was that possible?
Of course, Saya alone had cost almost nine thousand SP. I would probably be more expensive, but from what I discovered with Saya's status, I didn't need to analyze a person a second time since the status updated based on how the person was.
Pointing the phone at my hand and using Analyze: Item, I expected an astronomical number, something like a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand SP, but no. The stream seemed to have a twisted sense of humor. No price had appeared; it just opened my status directly.

I just laughed at that. Seriously, all this time I could use Analyze: Item on myself and didn't just because I didn't think of it...
I had to take a deep breath again as I calmed myself. Damn stream that didn't explain anything. Of course, I hadn't even tried to use it on myself, but there was literally "ITEM!" next to the function. Was I supposed to imagine that I could use it on myself?
I only used it on Saya out of sheer desperation, it wasn't even something planned, just instinct more than anything.
I took a few more deep breaths before focusing and clicking on my title. I thought it might be "Programmer" or something like that, but no. It was "The Streamer."
I really don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this.
