Multiversal: The Shop

Chapter 134: Aqua



Yer vote plz.

-Twins Pov-

"Say, sensei..have you ever wondered what would happen to us if mom didn't call dad?" Ruby asked her future boyfriend(?) husband(?) a question.

Aqua became thoughtful hearing that question, it's quite the question to which he also thought about it from time to time.

If his biological mother didn't call his father or he didn't respond, to be honest, their life wouldn't be as luxurious compared to what they have now.

However, it wouldn't be that bad as their mother is quite capable. Sure, there would be some setbacks, but ultimately, they would have a better life, not just as luxurious as this.

"Well, our life wouldn't be as good as it is now. However, I'm sure that we'll be all fine since I'm very confident of Ai's talent as an idol." He answered his sister about his conclusion.

Ruby beamed at his answer and replied. "You're right!"

"Alright, Hoshino-san ready, set, action!"

Right now both of the twins are sitting at some comfortable baby table on the movie set that their mother was part of.

Although the movie was still in its initial stage, both wanted to see the final product and watch it.

Since it has Ai as the protagonist this movie would surely become popular.

At least what they think of the result, as both were very biased toward Ai.

-Canon Aqua-

'What..?' He was confused, he wasn't where he was supposed to be.

This place wasn't his room, that's why he became really tense when he saw two unfair people right in front of him.

Ready to defend himself in case they were going to attack him. Then suddenly, The man with brunette hair looked at him like he saw a ghost or something.

Which was very odd to him, as he doesn't remember ever meeting this man, or else he'd know.

Besides that, the man right beside him was honestly huge, like he had never seen something this tall; judging from his skin tone, he must be some sort of foreigner.

And is that silver hair natural..?

Then all of his musing when the brunette said his name. "Aqua?"

He narrowed his eyes at the man, how did this man know his name? It doesn't make sense, for the past several years after Ai's death, he did his best to remain in the background to the point that there's barely anyone who knew of his existence except for a very few people.

Most of them are old people, and his twin sister is the only 'friend' he has at the same age, so how did this guy know him?

His thoughts became a mess, suddenly thinking that this man might have a clue about that 'man' or, worse, part of the scheme that killed his mother.

With a growling voice, he said. 

"Who are you? How do you know who I am? And where is this?"

Normally, it would be really illogical for him to be this careless, as getting emotional would do absolutely nothing to help in this case.

Then the man quickly tried to defuse the situation. "Woah, woah calm down. We don't mean any harm to you, while I could answer your questions, I would prefer to do it after you've calmed yourself."

Aqua blinked at his answer, not expecting the man to be like this….?

Anyway, it did help calm down significantly but he still remained cautious and couldn't help but curse himself. 'Damn it, why did I suddenly become very emotional?! If they were hostile, I would get beaten up or worse, die without accomplishing my revenge for Ai!'

Then after taking a deep breath, he asked the same question once again, but this time in a calmer tone. "So, who are you people? And how did you know my name? I'm pretty sure I never met you before and where exactly is this place? This isn't my room."

Thinking about it now, he realized how bizarre this situation was, as this shouldn't be possible by normal means.

It's like magic.

"For starters, we are a humble master and servant."

"So I'm a servant now?"

"Shush, don't interrupt me."

The man with tanned skin scoffed at his master?

"As the owner of this shop, I'm naturally the boss and he's my employee, his name is Alexander and this grumpy guy is Emiya or you can also call him Shir-"

"Don't." A clear warning in the tall man's tone.

The boss rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, or call him Archer or whatever."

This time the man called Archer didn't say anything, which indicates acceptance.

"But for you, you may call me dad or father is also acceptable!"

Aqua's face became ugly at those words; with a trembling voice, he said. "Why is that..?"

The man named Alexander smiled at him saying. "Obviously because I'm your dad! Both you and Ruby are my children with Ai!"

Hearing that confession, Aqua could only see red, despite the obvious name difference or even race; right now, it doesn't matter much to him as he could only see him.

No one knew about them, the fact that they're Ai Hoshino's children, both he and Ruby.

Only a selective number of people knew about their actual heritage, and one of them was this body's biological father.

And the main suspect in his mother's murder, according to his investigation.

That's why, the fact that this person knew about them and their true heritage, it must be him.

He couldn't think straight at the moment, as his only thought was to murder this man; the consequences could wait right now he was going to kill this bastard and have his revenge.

With a shout like a beast, he dashed at this man who claimed to be his father.

Despite how young he looked, despite his hair color being different, and despite that, he wasn't Japanese.

All of it wasn't just in his mind right now because right now, all he wanted was to eliminate this man.

"You son of a b*tch I'm going to kill you!"

My eyes widened at my son's sudden outburst, not expecting this at all.

He dashed in my direction, which was quite fast for any ordinary human, but frankly, in my case, he was unbearably slow.

In my perspective, he's like a snail crawling toward me, then I saw my number 1 employee wanting to interfere, but I signaled him not to.

It's not like he can do anything to me with that pathetic amount of strength.

So I let him tackle me into the perfectly clean floor, and then he started choking me with all of his strength.

How kinky!

But I wasn't very interested in being choked by my alternate-world son; I could see that he had lost his reason and, considering his bloodshot eyes, glared directly at me as if wanting to drill a hole in my head.

Either way, seeing that he's in a berserker state, I should use minor hypnosis to calm his emotions, or at least what a sensible person would do in this situation.

But…this is disrespectful which is why I did the good 'ol way of calming down a person.

I moved my palm and b*tch slap this motherf*cker, how dare this little shit disrespect his father!

Slap! 

I hit hard enough to break a few teeth, and as a result, his brain got a concussion, which was honestly bad as I used too much strength.

But I didn't regret it, though; no son of mine would be disrespectful to me, alternative version or not.

Aqua immediately became unconscious, which wasn't surprising; either way, I should start healing him before the blood could leak into the deepest part of his brain, causing permanent brain damage.

I don't want him to become vegetative so I started healing my son.

-Aqua-

"Buwah?!" Aqua opened his eyes, sweating like crazy as if he just woke up from a nightmare.

At first, he was very confused as to what the hell just happened, but it didn't take long for him to remember what previously happened.

But before he could act, suddenly someone spoke right beside him.

"Cool, now you're awake and calm. I think there's some sort of misunderstanding between us."

It was the man who claimed to be his father, and quickly he tried to stand up but all of a sudden a massive headache appeared preventing him from standing up.

"Woah, easy son. I just healed you. It would take a bit for you to be completely fine, as you're still feeling the aftereffects of the concussion that you received earlier." The man advised.

Which he didn't take for granted; he's a licensed doctor, and he knew more than this guy could ever know about concussions.

After waiting for his pain to disappear, finally, the brunette once again asked. "So, why exactly do you want to kill me?"

Hearing those insensitive words, a burst of anger appeared in his chest, and he poured it out by shouting. "You're kidding me right?! Why do you ask?! I want to kill you for revenge! You killed Ai Hoshino!"

The man was taken aback at this piece of knowledge as if he couldn't believe it. "Wait, wait hold on, I don't think we're on the same page here. I never killed the mother of my children; there's a line that one shouldn't cross; while I may not be a good person, I'm definitely not evil either."

Then suddenly the man realized something. "Oh, wait you have blonde hair."

"What? Of course, I do!" He wasn't what this person was aiming at.

"Ahah, this is quite awkward…" Alexander scratches the right side of his cheeks and then continues. 

"Why the heck do you look exactly the same despite having a different father…or maybe it's me but blonde…" The guy was lost in his thoughts.

"Huh..?" Aqua was now confused, he couldn't understand what this guy was on about.

"Ah, screw it! The multiverse sucks, I'm done thinking. Different or not, I'm still going to treat you like my son! Anyway, listen to what little I know about your world; your Ai is dead, correct?"

He gritted his teeth upon hearing that it was his sore spot despite several years having passed, and then he noticed something. 'Wait, what does he mean by your world?'

"I decided, since you most likely don't have anything of value to exchange for credits, listen work for me as an assistant and I'll give you an item that could revive your dead mother, I'll even throw an extra something for helping you with get a revenge to whoever killed Ai Hoshino." The brunette boldly declared.

Meanwhile, his brain was short-circuited and couldn't understand what this person was implying and could only say.

"Huh…?"

Alrighty, it was good I think?
