Chapter 12 - Missing and Welcome back!

'We will join you later on, Rito!' The decision to wait for Rito in their world was made by Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Epsilon, Delta, Zeta, and Eta because one day on earth moves much more quickly than one day in the world of Shadow Eminence.

They wanted to save them, just as Rito had done for them, as they were beginning to find more people who were similar to them.

However, Beta was asked to follow Rito in case he was in danger.

She made the decision to do this and keep an eye on Rito because she had finished her training and had acquired the skill known as stealth after completing a quest.

"Okay! We will be going then." After spending so much time with them, Rito began to consider them his family and wanted to take them all back to that world.

However, he was a little hesitant to do so.

"Rito! We will be there in no time, plus, after we are done setting organization here, we would need you to be here, so I hope we will get to live together again."

Rito hugged him once again, but this time, instead of calling him master or something, she called him by his name, which allowed Alpha to see that she was hesitant.

"Yeah, right? Alpha takes care of them; Delta, make sure to not create trouble after I am gone; Epsilon, don't care about your physical appearance; you are pretty as usual. And Eta, eat properly when working; I won't be here to take care of you."

Rito patted each person's head and thought back to how they had all started out with a desire for vengeance.

However, he did not want them to become assassins like in the beginning and instead gradually taught them that what mattered most was their new family.

They began to care for one another and look around them after that, but there was still unfinished business, and at the heart of their suffering was the existence of the Order of Diablo.

As a result, he had no intention of stopping them from exacting their revenge; rather, he merely wanted them to understand that family comes before vengeance

. "He is gone!" Zeta murmured as she cast a glance toward the area where Rito was standing after noticing that Gamma had gently drawn the two sisters into her embrace.

"He originally belonged to that world; we can't just have him for ourselves, you know that, right?" Even though there was unwillingness in their eyes, all the sisters looked at each other and nodded.

They can all still clearly recall the day they first met him and how his gracious smile and encouraging words helped them to realize what they had most wanted in the first place.

"A place they can belong to, a place called home." Eta spoke aloud as if intending to say that she wanted to spend the rest of her time in the lab because there was no longer a warm guy who would allow her to sleep in his embrace.

She then started walking toward her room. Her only safe haven was the laboratory, where her heart could find some peace.

"He will be back, girls! But till then, we have to finish our business here so that we can go with him to that world with all of our hearts shackled down."

Because Beta was asleep when he traveled to that world, he also appeared in this one with the same mental state. It was dark when Rito discovered someone on his chest, and he turned to look at Beta, who was dozing off like a baby.

'Hmm!' Rito's reaction when something gentle touched his chest was rather awkward, but later on, his little brother started acting more naturally as a result of the bouncy feeling.

"Beta! Wake up." Beta slowly opened her eyes after being shaken by Rito and looked at his face, which had a panicked expression.

When Beta finally opened her eyes, she discovered that she was sleeping on top of him.

Her face turned red as she struggled to stand up, but the position in which her hand was placed felt slippery, causing her to fall back down.

Rito was equally astounded as she planted her lips on his, and both of them gasped at the soft sensation on his lips.

"Rito! You are not going to work out or something!"

At the moment, Beta tried to pull back with beet red face, the door to Rito room opened and Mikan turn to look at her brother laying down and a beautiful silver haired girl sitting on top of him with beet red face.

"Rito! Did you get yourself a girlfriend overnight or something?"

Mikan muttered, but this time she did not get flustered by it, given that the improvement in Rito recently had been to big, so surprises like this started to matter less.

"Then please continue to enjoy!" Rito, who had at last taken a breath of relief and apologized to Mikan, stopped her from closing the door with a smile on her face and a wide grin on her ear.

"Hmm! You even learned how to be a playboy!"

Rito apologized for grabbing her hand and motioned for Mikan to enter while laughing as she walked inside and nodded at Beta, who was sitting on the bed, with a polite expression on her face.

Rito was holding Mikan's hand, and Mikan was muttering to herself as Rito held it.

"Heh! We can go there, but you have add me too in that so-called guild!" Mikan made her demand, as she was really excited about the existence of that world.

"I am alright with it."

Rito did not mind because, unlike in the quest, he had only had to pay 100 Guild points to allow his family member to join the guild.

In contrast, one must pay to allow another person to join a guild if they are from the same world.

"Anyway, then welcome back brother!" Mikan smiled, as she gently watched her brother and spoke in a small voice, making Rito tear up as he hugged her sister, who could tell that Rito had definitely missed her there, to make such a bold action.
