Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 28: Satisfied

Coming out of his room, Isao didn't hesitate and started what he planned to do. What he wanted to do was to check this place and see the many people who lived there. Nevertheless, when he arrived last night, he saw two groups of people. 

One group was those who were saved, and the second was those who worked under Saya's father before the disaster. Either way, both were the same for him, especially when he could control them due to his ability. 

Isao also wanted to check his ability to control humans. He had controlled a fly before and wanted to see whether there was a difference between controlling a fly and a human. Frankly, he might be able to use this ability in the protagonist's group, but just in case, he decides to use it on those extra characters. 

Looking in the direction of two people who guarded the gate, Isao controlled one of them, making that person excuse himself to go to the toilet. 

"I am going to the toilet first." 

"Don't be too long." 

The man didn't answer and just left toward the toilet. 

Isao looked at the man and fell into silence, especially when he saw his expression. The man's expression was dull and clearly different from before, yet no one would pay much attention since the difference wasn't much. 

Instead, Isao didn't expect the power of his abilities to be so powerful. 

'Then, is there any point in hesitating now?

Anyway, with this power, Isao felt like he could go to another world. Even if he meets a dangerous situation, he can transform into a fly or other animal and then hide away. 

At the same time, he thought that his power was similar to that of one of the powers in a certain pirate story. In that story, one could have an animal trait and become stronger. 

Isao felt that he was like that, but then again, he was probably much weaker since the world he was in was different from that pirate story where the average height of people could reach two or three meters. 

While Isao didn't think that he was short since he was about 179 or so, if he went to the world of pirates, he felt like he would become a dwarf. However, if he could absorb one of the inhabitants from that pirate story, somehow, he could imagine that he would become much taller and stronger. 

Yet, when the average height among people in many worlds was about 170cm to 190 cm or so, he was comfortable with his height. 

Nevertheless, after trying his power, he decided to start his mission, walking toward the men who worked under Saya's father and a group of saved people.

His mission was simple: to help. 

Yes, as a good person, he decided to help all of them, doing something mundane, yet at the same time, he would try to touch them, replicating their DNAs, and gain all the experience, abilities, knowledge, and every other except for absorbing their physical ability. 

While this might be tough since a lot of information was absorbed into his body, the system helped him sort out everything he gained, making it much easier for him. 

'Does the system have an AI-like function too?' 

If there was something that disappointed him, the system couldn't talk or had a cute-like appearance like how a novel with a system usually did. In other words, his system couldn't be part of his harem. 

Jokes aside, he didn't lack a woman, so he might as well focus on gaining his power, learning all the knowledge, and everything else in preparation for going to another world. 

'If this is the case, then I can go to another world at noon.' 

While he wanted to go to the zoo to absorb the DNA of many animals, it definitely wasn't realistic to go now. Frankly, if he could use the animals that he could control to absorb the DNA of others, this would be great, so even if he didn't move and stayed in a place, he could grow stronger in a stable way. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that. 

'Or I just haven't trained harder?' 

Yet, it was normal, right?

After all, it had been only two days after he received his system, but then again, as he spoke and replicated as many people as possible, he found an ant, a rat, a cockroach, and a caterpillar.

Yes, those were just insects, the bottom of the food chain pyramid and the weakest of the weakest, yet he felt that those insects weren't bad at all since their powers were limited due to their small size. If they were much bigger or had a similar size to the other animals, he could imagine how frightening they would be. 

'It would be great if I could get a spider too.' 

By then, he would become Spiderman. 

"Good morning, Iinuma-kun." 

When Isao walked around, helping people and gaining the affection of many, like how politicians tried to give people a good impression of them, someone called his name. 

"Busujima-senpai?" 

'As expected of the heroine.' 

Similar to Rei, Saeko was a beautiful young woman with a tall and buxom figure.

A woman. 

This was probably how to describe Seako. 

Her expression was so gentle as she looked into him. 

However, there was something that surprised him. 

"Kimono?" 

Unlike Rei, who was still wearing her uniform, Saeko had changed into an elegant kimono, which gave her the image of a graceful Japanese lady. 

Yet, even if Saeko appeared so reserved, Isao couldn't help but think about how she would appear to be when he peeled her clothes as he messed with her. 

Quickly, he shook his head, thinking that his path to becoming a good guy was still long. 

"Yeah, Takagi-san... I mean, the parents lent them to me." With a cute blush on her face, Saeko looked at him shyly and asked softly. "What... do you think?" 

"Beautiful," Isao praised Saeko without hesitation. "You look like a fairy. I can't look at you straight." Nevertheless, he had to say, the heroines' treatment was so different. Everyone was living hard in the tent with limited food, but Saeko got a new kimono, which made him speechless. 

"Don't be so exaggerated. I am not that beautiful." Saeko blushed and lightly chid him when she saw him praise her exaggeratedly. He even raised his two hands as if he couldn't look at her straight, making her even more embarrassed. Still, the smile on her face was so sweet, like the bloom of sunflowers in the summer. 

"What are you doing, Iinuma-kun?" Saeko wondered since she didn't understand his actions. 

"I am simply helping people," Isao said, since telling the truth about his objective was impossible. 

"Can I follow you?"

"Sure." 

Isao felt that the companions of a beautiful woman were excellent, and it was also easier for people to be in a good mood, especially when they saw something beautiful. 

So, under the combo of a handsome man and a beautiful woman, most of the people here were conquered by him, especially with how gentle and attentive he was.

Nevertheless, what he didn't know was that Saeko, who had always followed him by his side, was never able to look away from him. His gentle smile and soft-spoken manner, helping many and talking to everyone, made her more and more obsessed. Yet the more she felt like this, the more she tried to pull away since her repulsive self could not stand by his side. 

Yet, for now, Saeko was satisfied, but the more she suppressed her feelings, the more it was overflowing. 

On the other hand, Isao realized that he had forgotten something. 

'Oh, right, let's absorb the grass's DNA, too.'

Just to ask, what is currently the most popular harem or romance story?

I mean, in the modern world setting like Yahari Ore no Seishun, Kaguya, or Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou.
