(Ryoto's pov)
Karen: "4...3...2...1..."
I gritted my teeth for the incoming pain.
Ryoto: "Gogh!"
When I got the eyes, it wasn't as bad as I was feeling now, but I still felt my muscles expanding and compressing themselves. It was strange that my whole body going through a significant change is less painful than just my eyes, but they are God's eyes after all. It still left without energy, though.
I felt slight tingling in the back of my head. Was that a spider-sense?
Lala: "Ryoto! Are you alright?"
Lala launched herself into , crashing into in the process. She then proceeded to shake as hard as she could.
Lala: "Are you alright? What happened? Why were you in pain?"
Ryoto: "St-op sha-king ."
She really is strong. I have Spider-man's physique and still feel sick by her shaking.
Lala let go of .
Ryoto: "Everything is okay. I'm not used to using my eyes, so it took more of than I expected. If I rest for a bit, I'll recover."
Lala: "Really?"
Ryoto: "Really, really."
I patted her head.

I'll ask Karen about it later.
Ryoto: "I'm a little ashad to ask, but can you help return ho. I don't think I can go back on my own."
I couldn't even stand up by myself.
Lala: "Sure!"
We went back to my room without saying anything, but it didn't feel awkward. It just felt... right.
In the room, I finally sat on the bed. I recovered enough to at least walk, but I still need a whole night of sleep to be at 100%... or that's what I feel. I'm not an expert, and I've never been in a similar situation, but my recovery rate is slightly increased, so I'm hoping for it.
Lala: "Hey, Ryoto."
Ryoto: "Yes?"
Lala: "Thank you. I'm happy that you saved , but you should also think about yourself more."
I waved my hand.
Ryoto: "Don't worry about it. I was the one that wanted to help, so you don't need to feel guilty, understand?"
I once again patted her. At this, she showed a dazzling smile. I was montarily stunned by it. She really was the daughter of the most beautiful woman in the universe.
Lala: "Yes!"
Karen: "Wake up, Roo, or I'll wake up."
'How would you even do it?'
Karen: "Woman's secret."
Lala: "Hey, Ryoto?"
Ryoto: "What is it?"
Lala: "Let's get married."
Ryoto: "...What?"
I accidentally opened my eyes and blinked a few tis.
Karen: "Congratulations on your engagent."
Ryoto: "..."

It was the morning of the next day. I was still was processing what happened last night. It's not like I wasn't hoping for that outco but hearing a beautiful girl saying 'let's get married' is still a little bit shocking.
Karen: "I can't bla you for feeling like this. In your past life, you were a disgusting virgin otaku. It's probably the first ti a girl said sothing nice to you."
'Do you have sothing against otakus? Every ti you say anything weeb related, it's always disgusting this disgusting that. What is your problem?'
Karen: "I don't have any problem with otaku culture or whatever you call it. I like to annoy you, that's all. It's one of the few things in life that make feel happy."
'How do you sleep at night?'
Karen: "I don't. I'm a system. Did you forget it already? Do you at least rember your na, or do I need to remind that too?"
'...'
'I want to switch my system for another one.'

I got a few strange looks in school, but I was walking with my eyes closed the whole ti, so it wasn't an unexpected reaction. My excuse was quite simple. I was tired because I was playing too much last night.
At ho, Rito believed it instantly, but Mikan was a little suspicious. Ahe gave the sa look when she tried to determine if I was lying, but ultimately she believed.
In the evening, Lala and I went to the riverbank.
Lala: "What's wrong, Ryoto? Why did you want to go here?"
Ryoto: "I want to ask you sothing, Lala. Why do you want to marry ? We t each other yesterday, and we don't know each other too well, so why?"
Lala scratched her cheek with her finger to show that she was a little embarrassed.
Lala: "I may have used our marriage as an excuse so I wouldn't have to go back ho, but-"
Zastin: "Lala-sama!"
Lala: "Zastin!"
Zastin: "Fufu... I went through-"
As Zastin went through his speech, I leaned towards Lala and whispered.
Ryoto: "Who is this guy?"
I, of course, knew who he was, but it would be strange for to have this information.
Lala: "His na is Zastin, and he is servant and guardian of Devilukean royalty."
Zastin: "...but! This is it!! Lala-sama, co back to planet Deviluke with !!"
Lala: "Nyeeeeeh!! I won't go back. I have a reason not to!!"
Zastin: "What is your reason."
Lala pointed at .
Lala: "I...! I fell in love with this guy here, Ryoto!! So I'll marry Ryoto and live with him on Earth!"
Zastin: "..."
Zastin's eyes were cold for a mont, but it quickly changed.
Zastin: "I see, so that's how it is. I was wondering about it when I heard the report from my n. They said that an earthling tried to rescue Lala-sama but... they were defeated by a... creature in mostly white clothes that tried to... I shouldn't say it before Lala-sama."
When he started talking about his n, he clenched his fist hard. They probably will be looking for the said creature, but it won't be possible to find him. Mil-tan is not on this Earth after all, but the mory will be with them forever.
Lala: "Now that you know, go back and tell daddy! I'll never go back, nor will I et any future husband candidates!!"
Zastin: "No, it's not that simple. I, Zastin, have received an order from the king of Deviluke to take you back... I won't be able to face the king if I go ho after approving the marriage of a suspicious earthling and Lala-sama."
Lala: "Then what can we do?"
Lala asked, still hoping to convince Zastin.
Zastin: "Please stay back Lala-sama."
