In my room, I put on pants and a T-shirt, then handed her something to wear.
Now dressed, I stared at her.
"Answering your first question, this is Earth."
"I see," she nodded and looked curiously around my room.
Processing those words, she tilted her head. Didn't the people of Earth change the planet's name for some reason?" she asked, tilting her head with confusion.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Hearing those words, his feelings became stronger.
"Say, are you an alien?" I asked, almost certain.
"If 'alien' means someone not from this planet, then yes," she said nonchalantly.
"I knew it." I rub my forehead, feeling a headache.
[This world has aliens now?] He sighed.
Well, at least now he has the power to face these aliens, or so he thinks.
"No, from what I know, this planet's name didn't change; it might be some other planet," I responded, not knowing what was actually going on in space.
"Hmm… I see," the girl nodded like she was convinced.
Just like that, she is convinced? For someone in an unfamiliar place, she looks way too relaxed.
==IMG==
"My name is Kanon Yuki. What's your name?" I asked her.
"I am Lala. I came from Planet Deviluke," she introduced.
"How did you suddenly appear in my bathroom?" I asked what I wanted to know the most.
"Oh, that." She showed her bracelet on her wrist, which, to me, kind of looked like a rabbit.
"This is my invention called Mister Pyon Pyon Warp. It enables me to teleport short distances, but I can't specify the destination," she enthusiastically explained.
"..."
[That explains things.]
Suddenly, from behind Lala, something like a doll with wings flew in from the window.
"Mistress Lala, I finally found you," the doll spoke and clung to Lala.
"Peke, you finally found me. I am so happy you are here." Lala happily hugged back.
The doll called Peke then turned its head towards me. "Mistress Lala, who is this yellow-haired human?"
[What did it call me?] I looked at it with twitching eyes.
That phrasing reminded him of some videos he preferred to forget. It also didn't help that they met in an absurd manner; it could be viewed as a hentai plot. He immediately shook those thoughts away.
"He is Kanon, who lives here," She introduced.
"I understand, Mistress Lala." Peke nodded.
"So why are you on this planet anyway?" I asked the main question.
Her mood became a bit somber. "Well, I was running away on my spaceship, and then I used Mister Pyon Pyon Warp, and then I found myself here."
[Running from who exactly…]
Lala then got up and started removing her clothes.
"Oii, what the hell are you doing?" I asked, embarrassed and confused.
"Peke."
"Yes, Mistress Lala
She ignored me, and then Peke started to glow, releasing a blinding light.
In a few seconds, the light subsided, and then Lala stood there, wearing a strange skin-tight costume, posing.
"..."
"Did that doll just turn into that costume?"
"That's right, Peke is an all-purpose costume robot I made," she enthusiastically explained.
"So, if you had this, why were you naked?" I asked, confused.
"Ah, you see, when I use Mister Pyon Pyon Warp, it only transports the user, leaving everything aside."
I had my head in my hands. "That's terribly inconvenient; why don't you just fix that?"
"Well, you see, I don't use it that much, and I kinda forgot about it." She scratched her head with a smile.
[Oh great, she is an airhead too. What could be worse?]
Suddenly, I sensed the shift in the air; I looked at the balcony.
[One, no two people are heading this way at inhuman speed.]
It didn't take long to understand why.
"It seems your pursuers are here…" I said to the girl.
As soon as I said that, two men wearing black sunglasses and suits with pointy tails like Lala appeared in my room.
"Princess Lala, we came here to collect you," one of the suited men said.
"Goodness, what a troublesome lady. I should have restrained your movements, even if it meant tying your hands and feet until we left Earth," said the other man, who had a scar over his right eye.
Lala, understanding who they were, was surprised for a moment.
"Peke," she spoke with an angry tone.
"Y yes?"
"Didn't I tell you to be careful about people following you?"
"Y-yes, Mistress Lala, you had said that," Peke spoke in a panicking voice.
"Geeeez, you stupid robot!! Now everything just went down the drain." She whined like a child stomping her legs.
"I am sorry," Peke apologised.
"Princess, please don't make it harder for us; you need to return home with us," the man with the scar spoke as the other man held Lala, who struggled to resist.
Kanon watched all this happening in his room and pondered what the hell he should do.
He might interfere, but based on his understanding of their conversation, it's a family matter, which common sense suggests he shouldn't meddle in.
[What the hell should he do? And why, of all places, is this happening in his room?] He didn't know what to feel here.
Kanon, distressed, noticed Lala's expression; she was desperately trying to get away.
[What is it she is trying to run away from?] he sighed, his mind made up.
"Oii, can you guys be quiet?" I looked at them with annoyance.
"You guys are screaming so damn loud, the neighbours will complain."
"Kanon," Lala whispers.
The suited man ignored me and forcefully grabbed her arms.
"No! let go!" Lala shouted.
"Earthling, do not get in our way. This has nothing to do with you," the man with the scar said.
"You are right." I nodded in agreement.
"The thing that is going on with you all has nothing to do with me…" I paused, saying that.
Lala, who was biting the other guy's arms, paused and became sad upon hearing that.
"But," I continued.
"This is my house you are in, so whether you want it or not, I am involved, and right now you guys are noisy." I glared at the two suited guys.
I then moved in the blink of an eye and grabbed the hand of the guy who was holding Lala like a hostage.
"Let her go; she doesn't like it." I squeezed his hand with enough force to break a normal human's bones, but he only flinched slightly and released her.
"Ugh!"
"Don't get in our way." The other guy with a scar tried to use force on me. He tried to land a punch.
I saw the attack coming and grabbed his fist and used his momentum to pull him closer to land a strong punch in his gut, knocking him out.
The other guy, seeing me taking his friend out, tried to attack me from behind. I was ready to land a backhand on him, but…
Lala uses the baseball bat lying around my room and bashes the other guy's head, breaking the bat.
"..."
"..."
"Ah, it broke," Lala smiled apologetically.
"Haah…" Kanon sighed.
[Whatever]
Then he stared at the two knocked-out men, wondering what to do.
Stairrrrr…
While he was wondering, Kanon felt someone intensely staring at him, like assessing or judging him.
"What?" I asked, seeing her so intensely staring at me.
"You seem to be quite a strong Earthling; you were easily able to handle those two." She pointed at the two knocked-out guys.
"Let's say I have my own secrets."
"Hmm, I see." Lala wasn't convinced hearing that, but still she nodded.
"Say, what are you desperately trying to avoid?" I looked at her, narrowing my gaze.
"By how they address you and the respect they show, you are no ordinary alien, are you?" I spoke my conjecture.
Before Lala could speak, Peke, in her costume, spoke with a pride-filled voice.
"Huff... you have quite the keen eyes for an earthling. Allow me to introduce Lala Satalin Deviluke, the first princess of the Deviluke Empire. Her father, His Majesty Gid Lucione Deviluke, is the ruler of this galaxy." Peke explained.
"..."
"..."
Hearing that, my head was in my hands, and a severe headache struck me.
"You are the princess of this galaxy?" I pointed my finger.
"What a mess I am in now," Kanon sighed again.
Controlling my fluctuating emotions, I looked at her. "What now? I am guessing they are not the only people who will come for you."
"Am I wrong?"
Lala nodded. "It's likely the royal guard will come next."
"Royal Guard? What a pain," I grumbled.
"Tell me, what's the reason you are running?" Kanon hopes it will be a decent reason.
She then explained her reason. Which again had my head in my hands.
"So, you left because your father wanted you to marry one of the many people he had chosen."
She nodded.
"And you don't like any of those candidates even remotely."
She nodded again.
"What kind of candidates is your father choosing? Are there no decent guys in this vast space?" I grumbled.
She said after some thought, "Well, most of them look strange—either big or small; those who appear normal have odd personalities."
"Then why not find a candidate yourself, then?" I questioned.
Lala stared at me with a shocked look.
Seeing her reaction, I questioned, "You never thought about it, did you?"
She nodded. "I was too busy making my inventions or with my duties."
"I see." I opened my item box.
"So, now that you know, start thinking about it."
"What are you going to do about it? This time, you had my help. What about next time?"
Lala contemplated it, her gaze watching him work.
From the item box, I took out a drop item I received a while ago from hunting a black serpent, a B-rank monster.
{Black Serpentine Rope:
The rope dropped from the black serpent. It is an extremely durable rope that can extend its length as needed.}
I used the rope and tied both of them.
[Good luck getting out of that.]
"Why did you help me?" she suddenly asked.
"Why? I guess your desperate expression was asking for someone to save you. So, I decided to save you, which landed me in this hot mess."
For a minute, Lala just stared at Kanon.
"I have decided,"
I heard Lala say.
"What?" I was confused by her sudden declaration.
"I choose you."
"Huh?!!!"
…
