Chapter 18 - Stand: The World!

"For the next seven... eight days, this will be your room and mine."

Bang~

Throwing the backpack in his hand onto the bed on the right, Hiro looked at the blonde girl behind him who had inexplicably fallen silent.

"Go to the bathroom when you change clothes, don't forget to close the door when you shower, go to the toilet, or... self-generate electricity. 

In the coming days, if I happen to see something I shouldn't, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Yes, I understand, Nanamiya-sama, but... self-generate electricity? What is that?"

The little nun looked at him with a slightly puzzled expression and asked cautiously.

-sama?

Hearing those two Japanese words coming from Asia's mouth, and looking at her current submissive appearance, Hiro couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a strange feeling he couldn't quite describe in his heart:

In that short minute, what on earth did my old mother say to Asia? 

How does it feel like she suddenly regards herself as a servant? A subordinate? A wife? I haven't even done anything...

"Don't worry about that, just pretend it was a slip of the tongue."

"Oh~" The little nun nodded as if she understood but didn't quite, temporarily suppressing her curiosity.

Shaking his head to clear the chaotic thoughts from his mind, Hiro rummaged through his backpack for a change of clothes while asking Asia, who looked somewhat uneasy not far away:

"At this time, Asia, you probably haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

"Yes."

Hearing his question, Asia quickly put down the luggage in her hand and responded respectfully.

Grumble grumble~~~

A very convincing sound confirmed the truth of Asia's words.

"Ugh~~"

Clutching her small stomach with both hands, Asia let out a pitiful moan, utterly embarrassed.

In front of her benefactor, she had shown such an embarrassing scene...

Don't look over here, please don't look over here...

Feeling the temperature on both cheeks gradually rising, Asia nervously stared at Hiro a few meters away, silently praying in her heart.

However, the facts proved that Murphy's Law maintained its effectiveness even in a different world.

"Hmm..."

Hiro's movements paused slightly, glancing at Asia's small abdomen, which her two hands couldn't completely cover.

"How long have you not eaten?"

"O-only one day."

"...Really?" Looking at Asia's somewhat evasive gaze, Hiro asked back with a playful expression.

"T-two days."

"Rea..."

"T-this time it's really true! If I hadn't eaten for three days, I definitely wouldn't be able to stand up now."

Seeing that Hiro still didn't believe her, Asia even subconsciously let go of her hands covering her stomach, explaining with flailing arms, not knowing what she was worried about.

Grumble grumble~~~

"Ugh~~"

Not eating for two days and still being able to maintain such normal movements...

should I say as expected of someone from the supernatural world?

"You haven't eaten for two days, you probably haven't showered either, right? Take a quick shower while there's still some time, and then come down for dinner with us. You'll start working tomorrow."

"Okay."

Asia nodded and quickly grabbed a few pieces of clothing, jogging towards the bathroom.

However, when she was near the corner, Asia suddenly stopped, turned around with a troubled expression, and looked at him, asking:

"Nanamiya-sama, would... would you like to join me?"

"..."

What on earth did my old mother say?

After a moment of silence, Hiro glared at Asia, deliberately putting on an impatient look.

"No need! Go quickly!"

"Yes!"

Watching Asia disappear, the luck extraction Hiro had been waiting for finally completed-

"Ding! Third-Tier luck extraction completed. Congratulations host for obtaining Stand - The World."

The World? Dio's ability?

Listening to the system notification in his mind, Hiro, lying on the soft sheets, raised an eyebrow, a hint of joy in his heart.

Originally, relying solely on the acceleration of Intrinsic Time Control and his physical abilities, he lacked a decisive trump card when facing sufficiently powerful enemies, such as upper-class devils, ultimate-class devils, or even Maous.

But The World's time-stopping ability...

Even if, like that pre-Balance Breaker vampire crossdresser, The World's time stop couldn't affect enemies who were too strong, it could completely eliminate the possibility of him capsizing in a gutter.

"It can be considered a somewhat useful ability."

Summoning the golden humanoid figure and observing it for a while, Hiro murmured to himself....

The next day, early morning.

"Please take care of us today, Miss Asia." Nanamiya Yasuko affectionately took Asia's arm, her face full of a bright smile.

"Yes, Aunt Yasuko."

As if infected by Nanamiya Yasuko's smile, Asia also beamed.

Asia and Nanamiya Yasuko walked in front, while Kirigaya Midori subtly lagged a few steps, quietly coming to Hiro's side and asking in a low voice:

"Hiro, how far have you progressed with that girl? Did anything happen yesterday?"

"No."

Rolling his eyes, Hiro's tone was full of helplessness.

I was wondering why Yasuko and Midori's attitudes towards Asia were so strange.

So, they've been treating her like a daughter-in-law (niece-in-law)? I just went to find a tour guide; how did they imagine it to that extent...

Even if I have other purposes, I haven't shown them yet, okay?

"Eh?! Why? Doesn't that child fit your taste? Or do you not like foreigners?"

In front, Nanamiya Yasuko and the little nun Asia were chatting happily, while behind, Hiro was receiving his aunt's soul-searching questions...

"This in front of us is the legendary tombstone of King Arthur. Although its authenticity is difficult to verify, the majority of people, including the British public, have always believed so."

"Heeh~~ doesn't look like anything special."

"King Arthur? Who's that?"

The voices of Kirigaya Midori and Suguha sounded one after another.

Meanwhile, Hiro, walking at the back of the group, frowned slightly while looking at the empty surroundings.

King Arthur's tombstone should logically be a popular tourist attraction, so why is it so deserted? 

Even if there aren't any tourists occasionally, there should at least be some management personnel or vendors, right?

Just as he was pondering, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a deep light that abruptly appeared at the end of his line of sight.

P.S.: After being reincarnated as a devil, one inherently possesses "language proficiency," which is a setting from the original work.

But why could Asia speak fluent Japanese before being reincarnated as a devil?

Therefore, please don't consider details like language.
