"What is this thing?"
Lott freed his arms from the two girls and pointed at the frozen Fuhrer Ugly.
Ishigami Yu briefly recounted what happened on his way over.
Utaha, who had been giving Nakano the side-eye out of jealousy, immediately turned her attention to the ugly ice sculpture upon hearing Ishigami Yu's explanation.
'Th-This is Tomoya Aki!?'
"When I arrived, this guy was saying things insulting Lott-san, so I thought he shouldn't die too easily. I used Kamui to bring him here for your judgment."
Ishigami Yu said, rubbing his hands together like a fly.
'Bootlicker!'
Hearing this, the Nakano Sisters and others secretly rolled their eyes.
Mrs. Yukinoshita, not far away, looked at Ishigami Yu with a complex expression.
She couldn't help but sigh, 'If only my daughters were this good at flattering, we wouldn't be in such a passive position.'
"Such a small matter, you decide yourself."
Lott never paid any attention to Tomoya Aki from start to finish.
'But come to think of it, this guy actually had the power of an entry-level Dragon-level monster after transforming.'
'Was there a reason behind it?'
But after thinking for a few seconds, Lott didn't dwell on it further.
Not to mention Dragon-level, even God-level wasn't worth his attention.
Ishigami Yu rubbed his chin, unable to think of a way to make Tomoya Aki's life a living hell for the moment, so he opened the Universe Chat Room and asked the group members for ideas.
At that moment, someone named 'Higashikata Josuke' replied:
[I have an idea. Do you want to try it?]
Several days later…
An ugly ice sculpture was placed at the entrance of Shuchi'in Academy as a decoration.
And it remained there for half a century.
Over a decade later, when Trunks attended Shuchi'in Academy and saw Uncle Ishigami Yu, who is now the principal, walking past the statue, he waved at the ice sculpture and called out 'Yo~ Green Guy'.
He couldn't help but ask what this thing was.
Ishigami Yu, whose eyes had been replaced with Rinnegan, replied:
"This is one of Shuchi'in Academy's landmarks, the Green Guy Ice Sculpture. You can greet him when you pass by."
The high school student Trunks nodded somewhat understandingly, also waved at the ugly ice sculpture, said 'Yo~ Green Guy', and then went on his way.
…
But that was over a decade later. Let's focus on the present for now.
"The reward is reinstating the Yukinoshita Family into the Association's management, right? I've already notified Grandfather. You can go back and report."
On the other side, Erina walked up to the three Yukinoshita women, crossing her arms in front of her chest, making the pair developed by Lott appear even more exaggerated.
Away from Lott's side, she had returned to being the aloof Queen of Totsuki.
"Please wait. Could we exchange for a different reward?"
Mrs. Yukinoshita said solemnly.
"Hmm?"
Erina raised an eyebrow.
Two minutes later, Erina brought the Yukinoshita mother and daughters to Lott.
And conveyed their request to her lover.
"You want power like Ishigami Yu's?"
Hearing the beautiful matriarch's request, Lott couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Yes. Please."
Mrs. Yukinoshita bowed deeply to Lott.
Seeing this, Yukinoshita Haruno behind her quickly pressed her sister's head down to bow as well.
In Mrs. Yukinoshita's view, the help she provided Lott was the same as Ishigami Yu's.
So if Ishigami Yu could obtain power comparable to a Dragon-level, then the Yukinoshita Family could too!
Today's experience made Mrs. Yukinoshita realize that entering high society wasn't the most important thing.
What was important was having power!
At the very least, the ability to protect oneself.
Otherwise, no matter how much authority they had-
If a monster suddenly appeared, it could easily devour them!
After all, monsters didn't spare them just because they were a high-ranking official.
"Ishigami Yu's method... are you sure?"
Lott gave Ishigami Yu a look.
Ishigami Yu, understanding, immediately pulled open his collar.
Yukino, thinking he was about to act indecent, stepped back in fright.
Then she saw, on the lower left side of Ishigami Yu's shoulder, a terrifying human face!
The mother and three daughters were stunned.
Erina, meanwhile, had her eyes covered by Lott in time.
Ishigami Yu pulled his sleeve back up, with an expression that said these women were making a fuss over nothing.
"Do you still want it now?"
Lott asked in return.
The mother and three daughters were immediately speechless.
Even though they recognized the importance of power, they were still women!
To have a man's face grow on their bodies... Good heavens, they'd rather die!
"No rush. If you want any reward, just discuss it with Erina."
Lott turned and left.
…
"Here, little one, come here~"
On the other side, Yotsuba, one of the Nakano Sisters, had somehow gotten a carrot and was constantly trying to lure the Swinub left by Pryce, which was capable of freezing Legendary Pokémon.
"Sniff sniff~"
Swinub sniffed, looking listless and sleepy.
Having lost its master, it didn't have much appetite now.
"How could this be..."
Yotsuba's face fell with disappointment.
The ribbon bow on her head drooped down like dejected rabbit ears.
"Yotsuba, I recall you wanted to become a Pokémon Breeder, right?"
Lott noticed the situation and walked over to ask.
Yotsuba instantly regained her energy.
"Yeah, yeah! Lott-kun, you don't know how envious I was when you took Erina-san to the Planet Pokémon..."
Nakano Yotsuba, the most good-natured of the five sisters, pouted so much when talking about this that one could hang a kettle on it.
It showed just how much she envied Erina.
"Is that so? Then I'll entrust this Swinub to your care."
Lott picked up the Swinub and handed it to Yotsuba.
"Really?!"
Yotsuba's eyes shone with excitement.
Lott chuckled. "Yeah, my backyard already has enough anyway. And it just lost its master. Maybe your energy can help it recover."
"Thank you, Lott-kun!"
Yotsuba excitedly threw her arms around Lott's neck, giving him a bear hug.
Realizing her action was overly intimate, Yotsuba quickly hugged the Swinub, stuck out her tongue, and ran off with a flushed face.
"U-Um, Lott-kun, if you don't mind, would you like to visit our home today?"
Just as Lott was about to return to training, Nino, another of the five sisters, approached.
Having witnessed the earlier scene, Nino's internal alarms were blaring.
'I haven't even dealt with Miku yet, and now you, Yotsuba, want to get in on the action?'
'None of you take me, your elder sister, seriously, do you?!'
Normally, Lott would most likely refuse.
But he suddenly remembered that today seemed to be the finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference between Ash and Tobias.
He could watch it while eating, so he agreed.
…
That evening, Lott arrived at the high-end apartment where the Nakano Sisters lived.
He was naturally warmly welcomed by the five sisters.
Knowing about Lott's appetite, basically, all five sisters joined the vegetable-chopping brigade.
However, since Nino was usually in charge of meals, the other four sisters mostly just caused chaos.
Miku, her face slightly red, pulled Lott into her room, asking him to wait.
"Aren't you going to join me?"
Lott said with some regret.
As everyone knows, people who've just exercised have a lot of... energy.
"No way!"
Miku's face turned red, and she quickly escaped the room.
All her sisters were home, she was too embarrassed.
