My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—



One thousand one hundred ninety-eight... nine...

One thousand two hundred!

The consecutive  handstand pushups didn't even faze Tatsuki as he dropped to the ground. Once again, he broke his new record, but he never documented it in any way. He believed that doing so would push him to exceed his limits when he tries to break his new record in the near future.

Midoriyama Tatsuki was considered to be the most powerful superhero in all of Japan. Even then, he kept himself disciplined and continued working on his physical body without relying on his superpower at all. His example was what gave Satoshi the advantage despite being powerless.

Somehow, working out his pure physical skill reminded him of Satoshi in his younger days. When he was already old enough to walk, he was already keenly observing his dad when he works out. That's because Tatsuki would sometimes work out while looking after him.

This gave Satoshi his attachment to physical training even at a young age. And by the time he learned how to speak simple words, he was already attempting to work out with his dad.

"Yeah, those were the days, huh," Tatsuki muttered to himself, wiping the sweat off his forehead as he caught a whiff of the breakfast that his wife was cooking. "A lot had happened since then."

When Satoshi was given the positive for the Alpha gene, he was over the moon, telling his parents that he would become the most powerful superhero, even surpassing them in their prime. This gave Ayumu and Tatsuki the hope that Satoshi would be a better superhero than them in the near future.

But then, there was the Boosting Incident, and the hero workforce had been depleted thanks to the villains behind the drug. The only reason why the situation went from bad to worse was because some superheroes were using the drugs, and when it affected their system, they too turned berserk and they had to be put down.

Because of this, the hero workforce had their numbers reduced, and the minority of superheroes who didn't use the drug had to step up and fill in the holes that the affected/killed superheroes left behind.

The number of villains increased during that time, and the superheroes could barely keep them together. But now, they were past that portion of history, and the somewhat peaceful lives had returned in Japan. The other countries had the same problem as well, but Japan was one of the countries affected the most during that villain era. The Boosting Incident ran the superheroes dry, and when it was all over, they were blamed by the people because of their usage of drugs. It was an unfair treatment considering that the superheroes were the reason why peace returned once again.

Satoshi's grade school years were a bit of a struggle since he still didn't figure out what his superpower was. Still, he didn't want to to make his parents disappointed in him. That's why he worked hard with what he was proficient at— physical training. Pretty soon, he was somewhat dominating the school tournaments despite being powerless.

"And then he awakened his superpower in the first year of high school. Truly a 'youth' moment if you ask me." Tatsuki chuckled. Since he was done with his workout, he headed upstairs to join his wife for breakfast.

A lot had happened since then. A couple of invasions, dungeon breaks, and gates. There were also plenty of local and international tournaments that occurred the past couple of months and before Tatsuki knew it, Satoshi was already making a name for himself. He was the world's strongest beast tamer, the beast master. And then he was also chosen as a Disciple, which was one of the visions that Tatsuki's dad told him.

And now, he was training somewhere, along with the other Disciples who were going to defend the world from an upcoming calamity. Although this was a necessary procedure and Tatsuki fully understood it since he also underwent a couple of adventures to level up his superpower as well. Even then, he felt like the house was empty without Satoshi around. Sure, Aira and Emma were present, but the house felt totally different without Satoshi around.

"Ohayo~" He casually greeted as he emerged from the superhero lair. To his surprise, Aira and Emma actually woke up earlier than usual, and they were already eating breakfast before him.

'Now that's unusual...' Tatsuki inwardly trailed off as he joined them for a hearty breakfast as well. His expression spoke a million words as Ayumu smiled at him. She could completely tell what he was thinking but she decided not to bring it up since he knew that Tatsuki would do just that a moment later.

"Ohayo~" Ayumu, Aira and Emma greeted simultaneously while they continued eating.

"You're up early," Tatsuki commented, smiling as he seated himself, grabbing a couple of sausages and cutting a portion of scrambled eggs for himself. Somehow, the food on the table doubled up due to Satoshi's absence. Whenever they have a meal, they could really feel Satoshi's absence. He was a heavy eater after all.

"It's the weekend. Didn't we promise to bring them to the mall downtown?" Ayumu softly reminded him, passing a bowl of rice his way as he muttered a soft thanks.

"Ah, right. Is it going to be a girls date?" Tatsuki scratched his head as a weird laugh escaped his mouth. "I'll drive you there." He continued.

"Wait, you're not coming with us?" Ayumu asked, surprised. Aira and Emma also silently voiced their opinion as they nodded their heads along with Ayumu's comment.

"I'm coming with you?" He asked, wide-eyed.

"We're going to watch the new Transformers movie, right? It's our day off so we might as well enjoy it." Ayumu said.

"T-then... you should've told me last night. I need to prepare for these things you know." Tatsuki heaved a sigh, but inwardly he was elated. "I guess it's time for the number one hero to dress up a little bit, right? And here I was, thinking that I'd spend the day off on the couch."

Once breakfast was done, Ayumu told the girls to prepare. They immediately rushed to the bathroom while Aira screamed. "Let's bath together, Emma-nee!" She called out.

Emma agreed, and the two of them took a bath together, washing each other's back while they giggled. At this moment, Tatsuki was once again reminded of the fact that he's got two additional daughters now. They weren't part of the family registry but they were family nonetheless.

"We can always add more, you know. I'm still young." Ayumu teased, completely reading her husband's thoughts.

"Ah, wha— w— what are you saying?" Tatsuki reddened, averting his gaze from her husband who chuckled at his bashful comment. "D-d-do you want one more?"

"Eh?! Uhm~" Ayumu nodded her head as a smile appeared on her face, implying that she really did want another one.

When Aira and Emma got out of the bath, they saw that Ayumu and Tatsuki had their face reddened. They had no idea what they were talking about but it surely left them embarrassed.

"T-then, I-I'll be using the bath," Ayumu muttered as she slowly glided to the bathroom.

"Wanna go together?" Tatsuki casually asked out of nowhere.

"I'll wash your back." Ayumu returned, causing Tatsuki to punch a fist in the air. He didn't realize that he activated one of his strength superpowers and the punch caused an airwave to the ceiling.

A dent shaped like a fist was planted on the ceiling just when Ayumu and Tatsuki headed into the bath together. Aira and Emma remained silent during the entire exchange while they waited for them to finish. Of course, Emma wasn't taking any chances and she covered Aira's ears.

...

A couple of minutes later (and no, this won't go into the details of the bath scene),

Feeling refreshed, Ayumu and Tatsuki got out of the bath with towels wrapped around their bodies. Aira and Emma indifferently stayed in the living room, watching tv. They didn't even bother stealing a glance at the couple since that would just make them more embarrassed. And while Aira didn't know why Emma covered her ears back then, she didn't ask any questions since it might concern some adult stuff or something along those lines.

"Whoa~!" Aira exclaimed when the anime opening started playing. "Shubidubibiduba mofu mofu~! One more shubiduba mofu mofu~!" Aira started singing, dancing to the song.

"You really like that song, huh," Emma said, finding Aira's dancing cute. She was beginning to wonder if she could dance to the tune as well, but before she could do any dancing, Ayumu and Tatsuki approached them, all dressed up and ready to go.

"You girls ready?" Ayumu asked, her face flushed red. "Let's head out!"

Tatsuki could tell how excited his wife was, and he couldn't help but pat her head. "I'll go start the car. You guys gather by the front entrance." He offered, heading out the door.
