Chapter 6 - The Travel House

Standing up from bed while yawning and stretching, it's a beautiful day outside. Birds are birding, flowers are flowering… on days like these, it seems even high schoolers still have it rough huh?

 'Buggy' is getting bullied today as well, I'm surprised how she just takes it all, I thought she would have caused a plague by now, but for 'Buggy' whose dream is to be a hero, such a thing is unacceptable.

She probably thinks herself the bigger person for not retaliating, and in normal circumstances she would be right, but she's not dealing with the average bully here, one of them is a Parahuman after all.

I actually helped her a bit after finding that out, uploading a video of 'Buggy' being manhandled on the school forum actually made them back away for a while and even the 'Shadow girl' seems to be going through forced mental evaluations after the video made it to the PRT. After being questioned by the 'master of arms' his lie detector probably told him she is not alright in her head.

But it doesn't seem like that stopped the red head though, it only just made her increase her vendetta. I'm really sorry 'Buggy' it seems like I caused more troubles than you already have. I bow to the projection monitor before me.

Anyways, it appears that my stunt with the Angel Kaijuu seems to have even spurred her on further to start planning her cape debut. She has been speeding through her outfit creation and even started gyming for the past 2 weeks, along with her morning runs. She has decided to make her debut in a few days. You go 'Buggy!' Use violence by beating criminals to deal with your bully problems, that will probably go well for you. And I hope you know the way you keep checking out that black muscled guy is very obvious. I guess hunks are her types huh.

Placing my toothbrush back in the cabinet after making use of it, I look myself in the mirror. Yes I'm looking pretty as well today.

It's the second week of March and I'm glad things seem to have cooled down a bit.

Walking back into my living space, I get ready to order lunch. I slept till midday after all.

◇◇◇

Looking through my monitor, the sight of the girl is enough to make me shudder a bit, not out of fear, just out of… wrongness. Yes that's the word.

A young girl with average looks, she would look normal if not for the many many limbs and heads on animals and various things and fluids I'll pretend not seeing that seem to be squirming every which way connected to her lower body.

I have been observing this group for a while now and they are called 'The Travelers'. I was still deciding what to do with them until this lanky PRT infiltrator guy decided to contact an associate, trying to recruit the group for himself.

Now that my hands are tied, I decided to take advantage of the situation by trying something I've been meaning to for a while now.

So I decided to use this girl as my Innovative participant… What? That's just fancy speak for experimental test subject? Hahaha, I have no idea what you are talking about at all~

This is the first time I'm going to be trying something like this, and only because her power is not connected to the final boss himself so I'm hoping he doesn't notice, but if he does notice I am confident I can hide my trail.

With no fanfare, I immediately teleport her into a pocket dimension I created, and I can see her visibly panicking already, her limbs and other parts of her body are latching out every direction. Scary.

Let's not forget about the 'Boy-with-many-faces' as well. This is why you should never eat things you pick from the floor.

Tsk tsk, children.

Oh and I also decided to turn the interior of my home into a pocket dimension as well, so in case anything unusual happens or someone tries to get the jump on me, I can literally pack my belongings over my shoulders and scram, and besides it is also a better defense since I am basically living in a space cut out of the world.

"Is someone there? Please help me!" She yells out looking everywhere "I know I've done terrible things, I didn't mean to hurt those people… and my friends, my friends please. They are trying their best. I know circumstances have left it's blight on us and they get weary by the day b-but, but they are really good people. I don't know what to do… I just… I just want to go home" she whispers at the end with desperate pleas and sobs, argh now you are just making me feel bad… it's not like I'm trying to kill you, you know… it's not like I'm purposely trying to kill you, you know.

I use [Evil Eye of Calm] on her and her breathing and many limbs stable over a few seconds. A note appears in front of her in mid air which reads "I'll do my best" since I'm flattered she thinks I can help her, I'll do my best! I'm definitely not trying to use her to gather data, not at all!

I immediately teleport a pint sized spider to where her corona is located in her brain and in the 'Boy-with-many-faces' as well then got to work immediately.

◇◇◇

It has been almost a day and looking at the frozen in time form of the 'Girl-with-many-limbs' and 'Boy-with-many-faces' I'm happy that my gamble paid off, I wasn't sure I could pull it off, I mean I was sure I wouldn't fail, but I wasn't sure I would succeed either, now to take care of those unnecessary body parts. I'm glad she's currently frozen in time so she can't feel the pain.

I cut her into two parts starting from where her many many limbs begin, and immediately disintegrate the unnecessary bits then cast a highly potent healing magic on her— I also cast it on the boy just to be safe— and her body regrows right in front of my eyes, bones, tendons, muscles, skin. Good that worked out well.

So what do I do next? I remove the spiders in them and unfreeze them.

The girl looks down at herself in awe, not believing her eyes. "Y-you fixed me?" she asks with barely a whisper as she touches every part of her legs. "YOU FIXED ME!" This time she screams out, she falls to her bottom and starts crying uncontrollably while muttering thanks over and over again.

The boy just looks blatantly confused in the pocket dimension he is in.

I smile a little then teleport the girl, the boy and their friends who found themselves in this world back to their previous world, 'Earth-Aleph'. Those two would lose their powers and to that I say good riddance. This is the least I could do since I learned a lot from this endeavor.

I watch the panic, excitement and happiness in their eyes as they meet with one another again— the others have been panicking since I teleported two of their friends away right in front of them— the water works begin in earnest and even the 'hat-guy' can't pretend to act tough as he is bawling his eyes out already. As a little parting gift, I heal their friend in the wheelchair as well.

All in all, I think I did good today.

I even feel like a god who just performed a miracle… oh wait, I am one.
