"Is this a ship?"
"Wow, it's so big!"
"Are you okay to just walk around like that?"
"You don't have to worry."
Facing Mikoto's mischievous smile, Shinra was a little helpless, but probably because it wasn't her first pregnancy, she was pretty calm, but as it was his first time to become a father, watching her belly that was bulging, he was worried.
Yet, when he thought of what they did last night, he decided to throw away his worry since he knew well that her health was stabilized.
Regardless, after his first Kengan Match, Shinra had been working hard, trying to improve himself. Not only his strength, but also money, and he also directly took an exam to finish his high school life, so it was possible for him to go to the university right away.
If Mikoto wasn't pregnant, he knew that he wouldn't do all of that, but as she was pregnant, he knew that he had to work harder, especially when she couldn't take care of him on that area, and she often invited Shion and Tomoko to their house, which made him speechless.
Tomoko aside as he ignored this goofy girl, who was obsessed with BL work, Shion's eyes were quite ambiguous.
"Hmm..."
"What are you looking at?"
All eyes were on the luxury cruise, but Tomoko looked around curiously.
"I am looking for a handsome guy."
"...." Shinra, Mikoto, and Shion.
"Did you find it?"
"Some might be quite good, but they haven't reached my standard yet..." Tomoko sighed helplessly, feeling hopeless as she realized that her standards toward a handsome guy, especially one that she could use for her fantasy, had risen high due to Shinra.
Shinra was just wearing a suit, yet Tomoko could see that all the eyes were on him. Even the wives who walked with their husbands and even their husbands stared in his direction.
Unfortunately, this guy had an older, beautiful lover and had even made her pregnant.
While he was a careless guy, this guy was an amazing father, as he kept working hard, and even easily succeeded on the entrance exam of the Koyo Academy despite having just started to study and being only a 2nd-year high school student originally.
"....."
Shinra decided to ignore those eyes and thought of his days in this world, as he knew well that his eyes had recovered, and he thought to go on an adventure. Naturally, he would go alone as Mikoto was pregnant.
No, even if Mikoto wasn't pregnant, he would go alone as this world was safe, and even if he wasn't by her side, she should be okay.
Still, before he left, he amassed a great deal of wealth by robbing cash from those evil organizations, and also killed them, training himself to harden his heart and mind, so that he could be ruthless toward his enemies.
The first time he killed people, it was okay, but he also understood that if a reason existed why he could kill with ease, it was all due to his opponents being evil.
Still, killing was easy for him, especially when he was a ninja, and he came from another world, so he had no emotional burden like the people in this world. More importantly, the world of Naruto was cruel, and if he didn't kill, then he would be the one who would be killed.
If there was a problem, it was how to hide the bodies.
If it were the yakuza, they would dump dead bodies into Tokyo Bay, but Shinra could use ninjutsu and bury those bodies deep into the earth, and no one would discover them as they would be decomposed soon.
Nevertheless, his life in this world was quite calm, and he had done his best to develop his strength. However, he knew that he had reached his limit, as it was hard to find someone with exceptional talent or extraordinary strength in a world full of ordinary people.
More importantly, unlike in the world of Ninja that had limited numbers, as most of them died due to war, poverty, and starvation, in this world, many people existed, and there were seven billion of them!
How could he find those special people within those numbers?
So, all he could do was just wait for the Annihilation Tournament, since that way, he had no need to search for those people.
"Have you found someone strong, Shinra?" Shion asked as she could see that he had been observing the fighters.
"I found some interesting fighters."
Like how Shinra found them, they also found him, looking at him with a fighter-like expression, either solemn, eager, or just silently watching him from a distance.
Like how a Stand User would find and attract another Stand user, the strong fighter would attract another strong fighter, as they were eager to fight and show that they were the strongest.
"Oh? Can you share them with me?"
"..." Shinra.
"Ah, by the way, congratulations, Mikoto-san. How old is it again?" Rino approached Mikoto and asked Mikoto curiously, staring at Mikoto's bulging belly, which was caused by Shinra.
"It has been three months."
"So much time has passed, even though it feels like we just met before." Rino looked at Mikoto and asked, "If you don't mind, can we meet again?"
Mikoto didn't answer directly, but looked at Shinra, who gave a nod. "Okay."
"That's great~!"
Watching how Rino got chummy with Mikoto, Shion was speechless. "...what are you doing here, Rino? Stay with your lover over there!"
"Don't be so distant, Shion-san. We're allies, right?"
"Ally?" 2x
Shinra and Mikoto were surprised and looked at Shion curiously.
"Well... this situation is a bit complicated, so let's just talk later."
"Okay."
Anyway, the two of them never thought much about Shion's decision, since if she thought that it was good to make an ally with Rino, then it was all good, since whatever Shion's decision was, Shinra's job was only one, and that was to win this tournament.
"Let's go and enter."
"Okay."
Yet as they walked away, walking toward the luxury cruise, many started to talk about them.
"Is he the Deluge?"
"Too young!"
"But his strength is without a doubt."
Many watched his fight against Carlos Medel, and naturally, Shinra's reputation spread as he became one of the most powerful fighters since he could defeat the old champion.
Still, regardless—
"This tournament has become more interesting."
"No matter what, I will be the winner."
"Champion? Interesting."
All of those chosen fighters in this place thought of themselves as the strongest, and naturally, they wouldn't allow anyone to be stronger than any of them, as their pride didn't allow it!
It was also because of that that they swore they would be the strongest and the winner!
"Fuhahaha! As expected, it isn't wrong to start this tournament!"
Old, young, strong, weak, wealthy, or poor.
All of them who could participate in this event were definitely not ordinary people, as each of them had their own skills, yet without a doubt, for this man, with curly, long hair that resembled seaweed, showed a grin, thinking that it was a time for him to show all of those people where their places be.
Yet, what he didn't know was that a certain girl wasn't looking in his direction anymore, but instead just stared in the direction of Shinra in a complete daze before she quickly ran in his direction.
As for what she planned to do, wasn't it obvious?
