A Cliché Multiverse Story

A starry sky greeted me when I woke up. I pushed my body off the ground and glanced around.

"That time under the sky," a gentle voice arrived as a soft melody rippled through the air.??

I turned my head.

Adorned in a white sundress, a girl was leaning on the railings with her black hair fluttering gently under the wind. Her eyes shut, immersed in breathing out the beautiful song; each word resonating with my heart.

Maya.

Ah, so this was her dream. This place… I met her last time here. Did that leave such a deep impression that she started dreaming about it?

How cute...

I snuck closer to her and slid my arms around her waist.

"I am back."

Her eyes shook open, revealing her mesmerizing violet eyes dilating.

"Onii-sama!"

She hugged me back, slamming her face on my chest. "Welcome back!"

Affection rose in my heart and I gave her headpats she loved so much. She purred and rubbed her face on my chest, like a cute kitten.

"Did you hear my song?"

"Yep, your voice is really pleasant to hear. The lyrics…"

"I prepared it myself. The words just flowed out of me when I remembered our departure."

"I see… what are you up to lately?"

"Pr… help the girls. They are mostly fine now after I barged into their room every day to bother them."

Pr? What was she about to say? I shrugged and rubbed her back. "You didn't ask Miya for help, right?"

Miya's magic could potentially brainwash the girls.

"I would never use Miya's innate magic for things like this."

"You've done well.'

To pry open a broken heart like those girls, that was a massive achievement.

"How did Genzou-san react to me leaving without a word?"

"Otou-sama was ready to order the Kuroba Clan to search for you but I stopped him."

"...What excuse did you use?"

"Onii-sama went to reunite with his women in a faraway place."

I felt like Genzou added me to his target list.

"Maya, do you think I am terrible for leaving you like that?"

May looked up and shook her head, her eyes bearing innocence. "Impossible. I am happy to finally meet you…" she drew back, fiddling with her fingers. "...Though Maya is lonely at times."

"I will bring you to everyone when you turn fourteen."

Seeing her growth, she might look like a typical sixteen-year-old by then.

"Onii-sama, are you afraid of being… called lolicon by other women?"

Her question penetrated my heart. "Yes… Yuriko and Shiori will tease me to death if they see you."

Maya's lips twisted into a grin. Any masochist would have climaxed from the sadism flowing from her expression. "Yuriko? Shiori? They seem like good people to hang out with."

She snuck into my arms again and pestered me about Yuriko and others. I gave up and summarized everything about the girls, showing their images on my smartphone.

Maya stared intently as though burning the images in her mind then nodded to herself.

"Onii-sama, is your world different from mine?"

"My original world is drowned with the curse of the undead. But my current world is a mix of medieval and magic."

"How terrible?!"

Brushing her hair reaching down to her waist, I shook my head. "It's fine. Every undead is weak as fuck. That's why I left for a different world to level up."

"Level up?"

"I can kill people to become strong, granted if they have mana or any other energy in their bodies."

"That's an RPG-like ability. Onii-sama could have massacred everyone in the world. A nuke would be useless if it can't catch you," she muttered under her breath.

Her faith in my strength seemed absolute...

"I am terribly sorry. It was just speculation about Onii-sama's soft heart. The world would be doomed if Onii-sama was an evil man only wanting to become stronger."

My karma would be zero or negative if I used to be an evil young master. My crimes were offset by my affection for milfs and lolis.

I snapped out of my thoughts. Maya gazed up at me, eyes flickering with anxiety.

"I-I am sorry if it came off as rude."

She was so uncomfortable about hurting my feelings.

I gently cupped her face and pecked her lips. "Don't be so nervous. Just be yourself around me."

She nodded her head, relief flooding her expression. "I will."

"This ability also extends to my women as well."

Maya breathed in deeply then a smile blossomed on her face. "Onii-sama, I can use this too?"

She giggled silly at my nod and nodded. "Onii-sama, tell me if anyone bothers you."

"...Okay, can you sing that song again?"

"It will be my pleasure."

Snuggling in my embrace, Maya sang while I raised my head. The silver moon shone a lot more than the real one. Maya loved light, huh. It certainly suited her Light Element status.

Status reminded me to check her status. I never used my glasses on anyone in this world. That could wait for the next time I step inside the Irregular world.

After enjoying her song for the umpteenth time, we delved into the state of her world and the consequences of my appearance in her world. The war-ridden countries wouldn't tolerate an irregularity popping out of somewhere. Hell, the first to search for me was the government of Japan, thanks to the order issued by none other than Maya's mentor, Kudou Retsu, the strongest magician in Japan right now. The old man already speculated that the destruction of the Kunlungfang Institute was related to Yotsuba.

"Tell me if other Clans bother your family too much. I am sure that the Saegusa Clan will try something."

"No need to worry. Maya has everything covered. With Otou-sama's influence, no one will stand up to point any finger at us without solid evidence."

"I left no trail when I arrived here."

"I know. Otou-sama and I are grateful for that," she whispered almost inaudibly and rose to her tiptoes, capturing my lips with no delay.

"Delicious." She licked her lips with narrowed eyes and pushed on my chest. "Onii-sama, let's sleep."

"Hmm…"
