The Wandering of an Unstuck Stepbro: Multiverse Travel

Chapter 92: Takaoka and Shiro

(Ryoto's pov)

I was sneaking into the hotel at the moment, and thanks to my spider-powers, it was a breeze. People indeed tend not to look up as they would find me otherwise.

The rooftop wasn't my objective at the beginning. First, I wanted to snoop around for a bit. I was hoping that maybe I would find an antidote, but no such luck for me. As my efforts were fruitless, I headed to the place where I would meet Takaoka and maybe Shiro.

At the top of the hotel, Takaoka was standing in the middle of a helipad with a big crazy smile. Next to him, clothed in all white, was Shiro.

Shiro: "I knew that you would come here directly and alone. After all, you care about your classmates deeply."

He was confident in his safety, and I just looked at both of them. I didn't open my eyes just yet so I could look around without them knowing. The first thing that I noticed was a briefcase in Shiro's hand. That was probably where the antidote is. Around me were also a lot of lamps probably to light up the helipad at night. The strange thing is that I saw something similar to loudspeakers, but I focused on Shiro for now.

Shiro: "Oh, you are probably wondering what is inside the briefcase. It's, of course, an antidote to the virus that your classmates are infected with. Terasaka did a wonderful job of spreading it through an invisible gas. I just needed to pay him a little bit of money, and he did it."

Ryoto: "...You know, I almost pity you."

Shiro: "And why is that?"

Shiro asked curiously.

Ryoto: "Because you don't know how much you fucked up."

I then opened my eyes so I could put both of them in illusions, but instead of the usual blue filter I saw every time I used my eyes powered but the only thing I saw this time was a bright blinding light. It hurt so much that I needed to turn off my eyes because closing them wasn't enough.

Shiro: "Careful now. We don't want those dangerous eyes of yours to show us some unnecessary things. To protect myself and my new friend here from unnecessary risk, I made some adjustments to the lamps here. Thankfully we have strong sunglasses to protect ourselves from the light. Sorry, but we only have two pairs, so you need to bear it."

He sounded really genuine. If I didn't know any better, I would believe him, but I knew that he was a psychopath.

I was angry before, but Shiro was moving up on my shit list with every said word, and he was already at the top the moment Lala and Rio collapsed.

No biggie, I just lost my eyesight, but I still have my other powers. Besides the obvious, I also had a better sense of hearing which I would use to the fullest. I also could use aoe attacks, but I needed to preserve the briefcase.

As I was planning how I would attack both of them, I sensed danger, from which I jumped away. The sound was familiar as it was the sound of a tentacle.

I would open my eyes in shock if I could, but you know... the lights.

Shiro: "I'm honestly surprised that you dodged it, but at the same time, I somehow expected it. What you just avoided is my latest creation!"

As Shiro was excitingly explaining the science behind the new tentacles, I heard a familiar notification.

__________

Seeing the reward, I smiled.

'Karen, you are too good to me.'

Karen: "And don't forget that!"

Knowing that I don't need to worry about the briefcase anymore, I can use my whole arsenal to use.

While Shiro was still talking, I felt another attack, but I avoided it this time as well.

Shiro: "It seems that my friend here lost his patience, so you'll need to discover his new capabilities on your own."

I should get rid of the lights as fast as possible, so I shot fire at the lamps, but they didn't turn off even though I hit them.

Shiro: "Impressive that you could hut them even without sight."

Shiro clapped his hands.

What he didn't know was that Karen was helping me navigate a bit.

Share: "Unfortunately for you, all of the equipment here is fireproof."

I didn't hear about electrical devices lighting proof, so I started charging up electricity, but I was interrupted by another tentacle attack. I'll try brute force then.

I planned on running up to the lamp and trying to break it, but Takaoka stopped me once again.

It seems that I need to deal with him first before anything. I jumped up and did a flying kick while shooting fire from my foot.

Akira: "AAAAHH!!!"

From what I've heard, it hit him, and he didn't even attempt to dodge.

Karen: "Ryoto... bad news..."

Before Karen could explain what she meant, Takaoka started talking.

Akira: "HAHAHAHA!!! It hurts, but I'm not harmed!!! HAHAHAHA!!!"

Shiro: "Sorry to disappoint, but fire is useless on Takaoka-kun. You see, his tentacles are special. They were made to adapt to whatever you throw at them, and before you try any more tricks, I'll use this!"

I heard the sound of pushing a button, and at that moment, a piercing noise started coming from all directions. It was not only unimaginable loud but also unpleasant in every way. It gave me a big headache, big enough to overwhelm my spider sense. It was sensory overload in every sense, so in a moment of weakness, I felt a fist on my stomach. I threw a punch to counter it, but it didn't connect. Goddammit, that sound is making me go crazy! I can't even think straight.

Shiro: "I'm not sure that you can hear me, but I'll explain regardless. I installed the speakers around here because I speculated that your senses are enhanced the same way your strength is, and it looks like I was right. Even if I was somehow incorrect, the sound would be annoying at best that's why we have earplugs."

In this state, I felt tentacles wrapping around all of my four limbs and lifting me up. They were strong, and I couldn't free myself.

Karen: "Calm down and focus on my voice. You still haven't used everything you could."

'...Karen, I know that I have Hentai protagonist stamina B, but I don't know how it can help in this situation.'

Karen: "..."

'OK, I know how it can help, but I don't want to ever think about it.' Tentacles and hentai don't go together well for the one without tentacles.

Karen: "Not that, you moron!"

'Sorry, Sorry, but I needed a little joke to forget the incredible pain I'm feeling, but I think I know what you mean.'

Focusing everything I had into my voice, I managed to say.

Ryoto: "Tell me, Takaoka, what do you truly desire."
