Chapter 3: Return from the Future

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The sound of Makoto's alarm clock indicated morning was here, making the teenager slowly wake up and stopping the device's noise.

Slowly, the other boys opened their eyes as well. "Hrrrmm… hey, Mako-nii," Nagisa greeted sleepily."

"Hey kids," Makoto smiled at them. "Did you sleep well despite what happened yesterday?"

"Yeah… though I wish I could sleep in more." Masaru groaned as he rubbed his eyes. "I can't believe this isn't a dream…"

"W-wait, it isn't?" Jataro asked, doozy from the sleep. "I-I had a weird dream where an adult… older version of you coming from the future… that's really confusing. Also, did he say if cars were flying now?"

"No, it wasn't a dream. And he didn't say anything about it either." Makoto answered with another smile, the memories of yesterday coming in. Then, he noticed a post-it on his nightstand, taking to read it. "Just look, he left us a note."

'Hey guys! Hope I didn't disturb you while you were asleep! Just to remind you that what happened yesterday was indeed real. Yup, you're not dreaming, I know this is shocking, but I promise, I will tell you and everyone else once your minds are all cleared up. I already took my shower, and I'm more likely making breakfast by the time you're awake! See you all soon! Signed: your future counterpart.'

"Okay, so now we know this is still real for sure…" Nagisa said as he heard his older brother read the post-it, a smile plastering his face. "I still can't wrap my head around it, to be honest… but I'm really curious about what happened in the future"

"Me too, me too!" Masaru suddenly jolted up with joy, jumping a bit on the bed. "Come on, you guys, hurry up! I wanna hear what Big bro has to say!"

"M-Masaru-kun, don't jump on the bed…" Jataro told him to no avail, before drifting off. "I'm curious too… about his family, his job, or who he married…"

Makoto could feel his cheek redden at the question, and decided to put a stop to it before it got out of hand. "L-let's not jump into conclusions, okay kids? Let's shower up for the day and we'll join the others."

The three kids had different reactions, with Masaru smirking, Jataro blushing but smiling, and Nagisa seeminly working on the question. However, knowing it was a touchy subject, they all decided to spare him the comments… for now at least. "Okay, Mako-nii."

Makoto could only sigh. Something told him this was going to be another eventful and crazy day.

He simply had no idea how right he was.

After his quick shower and waiting for his adopted sibling to come, Makoto and they went to the kitchen for breakfast. When they arrived… they were a bit surprised.

The adult counterpart was already here, wearing an apron and cooking with Chisa, Seiko, Ruruka and Kirumi. The adult noticed them immediately and smiled at them. "Ah, there you guys are! You're just in time, breakfast is almost ready!"

"Oh, uh, thanks," Makoto nodded to him while sitting on the nearest chair. "I'm a bit curious, when did you wake up? I didn't hear you shower or anything."

"That's right, none of us did." Nagisa added. "I guess we were probably so tired because of the revelation."

"Yeah, that's understandable." The adult version answered with a smile. "To answer your question, I would say… at 6 A.M.? I think?"

"6 A.M.?!" Masaru and the other boys looked shocked, but for the boy, it sounded more like he was impressed. "I didn't think you would wake up so early!"

"You shouldn't force yourself to wake up so early," Seiko told him with a genuine caring tone. "I-I know you're older than us now, but this still isn't a reason to neglect your sleep."

"Don't worry, it just became a habit with… work and all," Adult Makoto hesitated a bit before giving his answer, which didn't go unnoticed, but he soon resumed with a tender smile. "But don't worry, I never had any problems regarding sleep. Work isn't always easy, but I have many people to support me."

"I'm glad to hear that," Makoto smiled at him in response. He also enjoyed the help of his friends very much, and he was glad his future counterpart had support as well.

"We all are. You might be older than us, Naegi-san, but underneath that, you are still my former student," Chisa followed with her own smile. "And I'm glad to see you still care about your friends. Thank you for helping us preparing everything."

"Yeah, it's really appreciated," Ruruka added while putting the last plate on the table. "I know I'm probably not the best person to say it, but you really save us the time."

"No problem. I still do it for my family from time to time, and I wanted to do it again here anyway." Adult Makoto explained with a smile before asking, "So, is everyone awake?"

"Yes, everyone was waking up when I went to them," Kirumi nodded. "They should be coming any time soon now."

Just as she said that, two little forms ran and went to slam itselves into the adult counterpart. "Mako-nii!"

"Hey, hey there!" Adult Makoto laughed as he rubbed Kotoko and Monaca's heads with a smile on their faces. "Looks like you really wanted to see me, uh?"

"Hmmm! Monaca wants to hear everything about you, bigger big bro!" Monaca giggled while nodding her head. "Monaca wants to hear every detail!"

"Me too, me too!" Kotoko added with her own cute smile. "What do you do for a job? How is your faily doing? Oh, oh, are you married now?!"

"I-I asked him yesterday…" Jataro said meekly.

"Ah ah ah, don't worry, I'll answer any question I can," Adult Makoto laughed at hearing this. "How about this, we have breakfast with everyone, and then I'll answer all questions I can. Good?"

"Yay!"

"Okay, you two, behave." Maki was quick to be by their sides, scolding them lightly. "Sorry about that. They got excited and wanted to meet you soon."

"No problem, I totally get it." Makoto smiled, noticing some of the girls arriving. "So, is everyone coming?"

"Everyone is on their way, Naegi-san," Miaya spoke via Usami. "How about we get to eat now? You can tell us all after breakfast."

"Sure." With this, the adult sat alongside the adults and oldest students while the younger counterpart was among his younger comrades and the children.

Soon… they will find out that they did right to stay sit.

It didn't take long for the girls to be all present and to get around the tables put in place, and everyone ate what was prepared to them. Thankfully, Adult Makoto's help was essential to make food for everyone, and it did help the mood that the adult counterpart of their crush was as caring and charming as their present friend. Not to mention, once again, he was good with kids.

Needless to say, 'Daddy material' was a common thought among the girls.

Then, it was time for everyone's question to pop up, with Kyouko speaking first. "Alright, now that breakfast is over… I believe we do have to talk."

"Yeah, you're right," Adult Makoto said "And… I think I should start by what I revealed to your Makoto."

And thus, he began his explanation. What he did for a job, how was his family… and how his grandparents died. Needless to say, the reactions he got were expected.

"Oh no… Ojii-chan and Obaa-chan…" Kotoko was sad to hear what happened to them… "Guess we're going to spend as much time as needed then!"

"Monaca too…" Monaca shared the same sad face. "Monaca will make sure to give them plenty of love too!"

"Are you okay, Makoto?" Mukuro asked as she put a hand on his shoulder with a comforting smile. "I… I admit I'm not good at comforting people, but…"

"I'm okay, thanks, Ikusaba-san," Present Makoto assured with a smile. "I won't lie that it didn't shock me, but… I trust my future self when he says they had a good life. I should probably catch up with them from time to time."

"They did. And don't worry, I told they would never be able to have a grudge against you, they're your grandparents after all. Well, our grandparents, rather, but you get what I mean." His future counterpart reassured him to lift up their spirits, which thankfully worked as everyone chuckled at this little joke.

Chisa then decided to ask more questions. "Alright, so you mentioned you couldn't work at Hope's Peak Academy because of a situation. That's… honestly a shame. We always thought you would… take charge after Kirigiri-san, you know… especially after all we've been through…"

"Yeah, I get it. And I'm sorry I couldn't manage to hold into that, but… you know, I can say my luck was looking for me at the time," Adult Makoto chuckled. "But if this can make you guys feel better, I always give advice to the new Headmaster. The poor guy still has some trouble grasping his situation from time to time, after all that happened…"

"Oh? So the new Headmaster is a student from Hope's Peak Academy? And it is a man, apparently," Kyouko deduced rapidly.

"So… a boy is taking care of the school…" Tenko said, a bit disappointed, but still asked, "Is he doing a good job?"

"Yes, he is. Although he does tend to doubt himself from time to time," Adult Makoto explained. "Luckilly, we have exchanged numbers, so we talk from time to time. Heck, we even visit each other when we can. I'll tell you who it is when his preset counterpart here will join us."

"Oh, so you wanna make him a surprise?" That made Sayaka giggle a bit. "You know, it's good to hear you've got some friends on the boys side. You mostly hang out with us, you know?"

"Hey, it's not that bad…" Present Makoto chuckled at this.

"Well, when you are affiliated to the girl's dorm, you're bound to bond with those who lives in it rather than the others," his adult counterpart answered with the same tone, although more relaxed. "That being said, yes. I do have friends of the same gender… even though I've also met people who clearly didn't like me."

"That is unfortunate," Kirumi piped in. "Although we can't expect everyone to like you, as it was proven to us this year alone."

"Don't mention it," Adult Makoto's smile became a bit strained. "I had to deal with some people who were worse than you described in the past, and… let's just say that my patience has reached his limits when they tried to do something to my family. I punched them in the jaw. All of them."

That made the others widen their eyes in shock. "Really? You did it again?" Aoi asked, quite shocked. "I mean, I remember that time with that dumb model, but I didn't think you would do it again…"

"Not that anyone blames you for it. It must have been pretty bad if you of all people lose your cool," Maki added seriously. "Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah, there was no harm done, they were just a bit scared anyway. In fact, they underestimated my family, they're the one who kicked them in the butt in the first place," Adult Makoto explained with a proud smile. "As for the culprits, they have been punished, and we've made sure they wouldn't hurt anyone else."

"…you know, when you say it like that, you make it sound like you killed them." Natsumi commented. "But this isn't what happened, right?"

"What? No, of course not!" The young adult laughed awkwardly at this. "By that, I mean that they are helping us out now. They're forced to do so, because w wanted to make an example of them. That may sound a bit harsh, but trust me, once my family gets here, I'll explain everything, and you'll understand."

"Okay, so that's a relief…" Fuwa sighed, the thought of Makoto willingly hurting anyone didn't sound right to her, except if he had a good reason for it.

"Yes, if no one in your family was harmed, and if the culprits were caught and punished, then it's all that matters." Sakura added, before asking. "I have been meaning to ask what is your job exactly then? You said you owned an organization of some kind."

"Oh yeah, I did. It is something similar, yes" Adult Makoto explained. "Long story short, I look out for the people in my new home. I try to help them out as much as I can, and I try to help them find a new path. You could say this is a humanitarian goal of mine."

"Ngeeeh… that sounds just like you…" Toko was blushing madly at this as everyone smiled. "Y-you would always help people…"

"Just like our Naegi-san…" Mikan added with a dreamy smile. "Always the one to lend a hand…"

"I'm just doing what I think is right, you girls," Present Makoto felt his cheek redden a bit at the praise that he was getting. "It wasn't much…"

"It is special to others. I learned that six years ago, people will feel touched at your generosity and return it in kind." Adult Makoto told him with a smile before continuing. "As for how the organization goes, you'll be happy to know that it is currently expanding overseas. It's not easy to contact the European agency for instance, but I have good people who can help me with that."

"European, you say?" Celes looked at him intrigued. "So you managed to get contact there? Consider me impressed."

"Thank you. I never expected it to happen, but I'm glad I can carry on with so many people around me," Future Makoto chuckled. "Not to mention, the people of Novoselic are quite understanding…"

"Novoselic?!" Sonia exclaimed happily. "Then, does it mean… you work for my country as well?!"

"I did say I would help out, Sonia-san. We are quite close in my time," the adult answer with a smile. "And I did say I viewed you as family."

As Sonia blushed at the compliment, the other girls couldn't help but feel jealous. Has Sonia really gotten her way? Was she the lucky girl after all?

"Okay, sorry to interrupt the moment, but I still don't get something," Ruruka asked. "How did you even get here? You said you were going to assist an event with your family and then you got here, how does that make sense?"

"I admit it that it doesn't really add up now that I think about it," Seiko added. "Can you explain to us what happened?"

This time, Adult Makoto's smile began… more playful. "You're right, I should explain. The truth is, I was assisting to a family project. The thing is, we wanted to test it out between us before maybe presenting it to the public. As you can all see, this turned out to be… much crazier than expected."

"Crazier, uh?" Present Makoto said. "This must have been such a big project."

"Boy, you have no idea," Future Makoto looked at him with the same smile he always gave. "I mean, the project was led by my daughter."

Silence overtook the room for the minute, all of them processing what the young man has said, looking at him as he grew a second head.

And then all hell broke loose.

"WHAT?! WHAT WHAT WHAT?!" Ibuki slammed her hands on the table. "Wait wait wait, you're serious right now?! Did Ibuki's ears hear that right?!"

"Yup! I am!"

Seeing his amused face didn't help anyone, as Mahiru spoke next, her face almost as red as her hair. "Y-you mean to tell me… t-that's what you meant when you said you had a family?! Y-you had a girlfriend, y-you married here, and now you have a DAUGHTER?!"

"Ha ha, yes!" Adult Makoto was laughing at their reaction. "I know this is a shock, that's why I wanted everyone to sit down."

"Y-you… you can't just say something like THAT so CARELESSLY!" Hiyoko was not faring any better than her friend. "That kind of thing should be the first thing you should talk about!"

"As… as happy as we are for you, they're right," Miaya said with a little blush. "You cannot just… say something this important out of the blue."

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn't resist," Adult Makoto chuckled at them. "I figured you all had this question in mind, so I wanted it to be a surprise."

"W-well… you certainly succeeded." Present Makoto said awkwardly, the news of him having a daughter still shocking him. He was happy to hear he had found someone to love and form a family, with, still… "So, who is it? I'm kind of curious now."

Everyone seemed to have the same question in mind, as they all turned towards Future Makoto so they could have their answers. Every girl was trembling from impatience, nervous and excited for the answer at the same time.

And they got his answer. "Well… I can't tell you here."

The frustration that came out of it was instantaneous. "Oh come on, why not?!" Junko asked for everyone. "You're our friend, we're curious!"

"Yeah, we all want to know, what gives?!" Akane joined her with the same tone. "What are you, a tease?"

"Sorry, sorry… but it doesn't mean I'm not telling you." Adult Makoto reassured them. "It's just that… this is another bomb you're not ready for, and I need to show you I'm not lying?"

"Uh?" Tsumugi asked him curiously. "W-what, you mean that your answer is crazier?"

"You can say that," Future Makoto answered. "That's why… I feel like instead of telling you, I should show you."

That got everyone's attention. Present Makoto then seemed to understand what he meat. "Wait… are you saying that you will use the… time machine again?"

"Yup! Believe it or not, but I think I now understand how I got here in the first place." Future Makoto explained. "And I know how to bring my family to you."

"Nyeh… isn't it a bit risky?" Himiko pipped in. "I mean, I do want to meet them but… we all know what happened back then…"

"I know, same thing happened to me." The Luckster's adult counterpart reassured them. "Trust me, I know what I'm doing."

Everyone hesitated for a moment, before Angie laughed. "Nyahahahaha! Atua just told Angie to trust our friend! Plus, Atua wants to see Angie's descendant!"

"Hold the fu- I mean, hold the hell up, your descendant?!" Miu barged in. "What makes you think this isn't my daughter, uh?! Who else could built a similar machine, ever thought of that?!"

"G-girls!" Present Makoto put himself between the two to prevent a argument, his face reddening at the idea of forming a family with one of his classmates, not that he would mind, quite the opposite.

"Alright, alright, let's calm down, okay?" Future Makoto clapped his hands together to stop everyone. "Let's just heads up to Iruma-san's lab, and then, I'll explain everything. Does that sound good to you all?"

Everyone looked at each other for a brief moment, before all of them nodded, Miaya speaking for all of them. "Alright, this seems good enough. But the Headmaster should be warned about what is going to happen."

"I will talk to him." Kyouko said, her phone in her hand. "But we should probably step back from the invention, just to make sure nothing bad happens."

"I shall prepare the room just in case," Kirumi then went ahead as everyone soon followed her to their destination.

"Alright." Future Makoto turned toward his present counterpart. "I think you should all sit dow when they come, you might collapse at this. See you there."

The future counterpart left as well, leaving the present Luckster with some of his friends and his adopted siblings behind. "Wow, this… this is something."

"That's putting it middly," Nagisa commented. "To think we're bout to… meet your future family…"

"Y-yeah…" Jataro then smiled. "B-but I'm happy too."

"Yeah! We got to meet Mako-nii's family!" Masaru claimed with joy. "I bet they're as awesome as Mako-nii!"

"I can't wait to see how they look like!" Kotoko was gushing out of glee. "Hey, do you think he married one of the girls here?"

"K-Kids!" Makoto shouted embarrassed with his red face. "L-let's not get ahead of ourselves!"

"Right, we still need to see it for ourselves," Maki followed with a blush on her face as well. "We should go now."

"Yay! Future Mako-nii's family, here we come!" Monaca cheered happily.

Feeling Makoto was a bit nervous, Kaede took his hand and smiled at him. "Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine."

"Yes, I'm sure you have someone wonderful at your side… I think." Chiaki took his other hand ith another smile, although she was a bit sad to think she may have chosen another girl over her.

Mukuro and Chisa looked at them, nodding in understanding. "Okay, let's go." Mukuro waited for the others to come with her."

"Right. The others are waiting." Chisa also stood by his side.

Nodding wordlessly, not able to hide his blush at the embarrassing situation he was in, Makoto and the others walked toward their future…

Quite literally, in fact.

Everyone was now reunited in Miu's lab, waiting for the adult counterpart to explain what was his plan. Everyone was as far away from the invention as possible, as they didn't want another incident to happen

Jin and Koichi joined them soon after Kyouko contacted them, making sure another incident was not going to happen. "So, Naegi-san," Jin asked, "you mean to tell me you have a way to make this machine work for real."

"I do have an idea, yes." Adult Makoto answered as he turned towards Miu. "Iruma-san, do you have anything that belongs to my younger counterpart?"

"Uh?" Miu was a bit startled, before she began to think. Eventually, she did answer. "Well, there is… one thing. I did ask for a little bit of hair-"

"Ah! A bit of hair. That's what I thought," the adult counterpart smiled, as he pulled out a strand of own hair. "That should do it."

"Uh, what are you doing?" Present Makoto asked intrigued.

"Just testing a theory of mine," the young adult then asked Kirumi, "Hey, could you please hand over some glue or something to help me stick it?"

"…yes." Kirumi said unsure as she gave it to him.

"Thanks." He then sticked hid own hair to the device, right next to the other strand of hair. Both of which were perfectly parallel to each other. Then, Adult Makoto turned towards everyone. "Is everyone set?"

"Yeah, we're all set… more or less," Koichi muttered the last part.

"Oh trust me, you're not. Mentally, at least." Adult Makoto chuckled at the deadpan expression he was getting from everyone. "Iruma-san, activate the device!"

And with that, the Inventor switched the time-travel machine. As it did before, the room began shake violently, just like before, and trhe people inside started to be worried, even though they were closer to the door this time around.

And then, when the thunder of electricity began to appear… something strange happened.

KRZIIT! KRIZIAP!

The bolts of electricity began to concentrate themselves around the two strands of hair, and then they went past it, making some sort of cord from Present to Future Makoto's.

That's when the mini-earthquake slowed down, and at the center of the machine, the jolts of electricity concentrated themselves at the center of the portal-like door machine… and soon, some mist came out of the center, some sort of white whirlpool formed itself inside of the portal, before finally, the light stopped getting on and off, and the earthquake stopped as well.

Everyone looked at the whirlpool, before looking at Makoto, their stunned expression evident. "Y-you… what did you do?"

"I wanted to see why I was dragged here in the first place. And apparently, I was right to ask you, Iruma-san." Adult Makoto answered with a smile.

Before anyone could ask what he meant, Future Makoto's earpiece ringed. "Hello? Can anyone here me?"

"-koto! Makoto?! You're here?!" A panicked voice was heard. "Where the fuck are you?!"

Another voice, much younger, chimed in. "Papa! Papa, are you okay?!"

"I'm fine, you girls, don't worry." Adult Makoto chuckled. "It was shocking, but I'm fine."

"Oh thank fuck… you have to stop scaring us like this…" The elder voice sighed of relief. "That reminds me of our school days so much…"

"Daddy, I'm so sorry!" The younger voice said, it seemed like the person was crying. "I-I didn't think this would happen!"

"It's okay, Mei, I know nobody wanted this to happen. But I assure you, I'm fine." Adult Makoto smiled. "Though I think you should activate the camera. I think you need everyone to see this."

"Alright, if you say so…" The older voice said. As the light of the camera went on, she left a snicker. "…holy shit, we just made history right there."

"Woah… so that's what you looked like when you were younger!" The younger voice seemed ecstatic about it. "I've got to warn the others! They're going to get so thrilled!"

"Right, let's get the family right now! They need to see this shit! Hey, girls!"

"Now hold on, you two, let's not – aaand they cut the communication. Just when I was going to tell them not to rush in… oh well, I guess this was inevitable." Future Makoto sighed with a smile.

"Uh, who was that?" Sayaka spoke for everyone. "I know I heard two voices…"

"I-Ibuki also heard it too! There were two people in there!" Ibuki said, with an expression akin of panic. "A-and one of them definitely called you Papa!"

"I heard it too! A-and… that voice…" Kaede joined her, looking at Miu with a horrified expression. "a-and she talked about school days…"

Miu, who understood quickly what it was about, grinned at her. "Oh, really now? ~"

"Hm. The others will probably follow in no time." Makoto hummed before looking at everyone. "Let me war you, my family is pretty big… and they tend to rush into things when one of us is in potential danger. So what you're about to witness is a family quirk, you may say."

Before anyone could ask what he meant, the portal went white, as two persons crossed it and appeared in the room. The first one was a girl, seemingly of ten years old, with pink hair and in a steampunk outfit.

The second… was a much more familiar face. It was Miu Iruma. Or rather, Future Miu Iruma, who looked older, but also looked stunning, perhaps even more than her present counterpart. Her attire didn't chance too much either, also she did look more formal.

"Holy shit… I can't believe we're here. It sure takes me back." the older Miu gasped in awe as she looked around, noticing her past-self right away. "What's up losers? Bet you didn't expect to see me!"

Nobody knew how to react to this development. Another friend among them, or rather, another future counterpart of their friend, was now in front of them, grinning at everyone as usual.

But what really set them off was when the little girl went to hug her dad for dear life. "Daddy! You're really okay! Do you feel weird? Is there anything you need!"

"I told you, I'm fine, Mei," Future Makoto patted her head with a smile on his face. "I could never be mad at you for something that was your fault."

"Daddy…" Mei only hugged him tighter. Her father could feel her tears running down on his uniform.

"Holy crap, your luck is really special! All of this crazy stuff keeps happening, even after all we went through!" Future Miu laughed as she hugged Future Makoto with an arm passing around his neck, giving him a suggestive look. "We never get bored with ya around. That's why I chose you."

To everyone's shock, and the girls' horror, Future Makoto returned the expression and tone, hugging her by the waist. "Well, happy to oblige, honey."

"Oh, here we go again…" Mei rolled her eyes at the scene. "So you're just about to do it in front of everyone now?"

For the girls, this was truly a sad sight. Their crush had seemingly chosen his girl, and it was… not the best one in their opinion, even if they were friends. They were happy for him, but the feeling of defeat was heavy in their heart…

Except for Miu of course. The girl was grinning and shaking like crazy. 'I won! I FUCKING WON! Despite all of you having doubts! How about that, uh?!'

But before she could brag her success, the portal went white again, and two other people appeared in front of them… another familiar face.

"Miu-chan, we told you to wait for us." Mukuro Ikusaba, the Future counterpart, who was wearing a normal outfit, but with a military medal, said to her… friend? with a scolding voice. "I know Mei was worried, but so was everyone."

"Yeah, yeah, but you know how Mei is, Mukuro-chan…" Miu shrugged.

"I'm glad you're okay, papa…" a boy at the same of Mei, with black hair and seemingly a military suit, smiled at his father.

"Honestly, I'm glad too. This could have ended so much worse, but I'm glad I ended up here." Future Makoto also patted him on the head with a smile.

Everyone looked at the new arrivals in shock, before Junko asked bluntly. "…Muku-nee? You're with Makoto too?!"

The Present self couldn't say anything as the Future one answered for her. "Well, Hiei wouldn't be with us. He's my son after all."

"Hm." Hiei turned towards everyone in the room with a little smile as he bowed. "Hello, past moms and dad. It's good to see you all."

Present Mukuro took exception of that for the rest. "Uh."

And just then, the portal went white again, as this time, it was four people who went through it, two children and two adults. And again, familiar adults.

"Miu-chan, Mukuro-chan, you should have waited for us!" This woman who looked a bit older than the rest, and with the familiar orange ponytail and apron on top of her formal attire, she was definitely Future Chisa Yukizome.

"I agree. Makoto-kun is dear to all of us, and we're all family." And alongside her was one of former her student, Future Sonia Nevermind, and by the look of things, she truly graduated from Princess from Queen.

The two children, one blond boy and one girl with orange hair, seemed very happy to see the man who appeared to be their father as well. "Papa! You're okay!" the girl with an apron outfit said while they rand and hugged him.

"I promise, I'm fine. Nothing bad happened, Yukino." Future Makoto laughed as he patted his two children on the head as well, before he noticed the dumbfounded crowd aside. "Dimitri, could you please talk to our… familiar faces over here? I think they are freaking out right now."

"Of course, father." The blond boy with a royal outfit smiled before he bowed in front of everyone. "Hello, people of the past! We understand that this situation is confusing, as it is quite the development for us as well. However, do not worry, for the rest of our glorious family will arrive, and then we shall all explain the situation!"

Everyone was too shocked to form words, with only Maki being composed enough to speak, red-faced, "T… the rest of the family?"

And as soon as she said that, once again, the portal went white once again, and people came out of it. A lot of familiar people.

"Darling! You're here!"

"You have no idea how much we're relieved to see you're okay!"

"It never ends, does it, hot shot?"

"Wow, this sure takes me back…"

"Papa! You're okay!"

"Don't worry, we managed to calm everyone down when you disappeared."

"Wow… so this is Hope's Peak Academy from where you were a student…"

"So cool! We got to meet our parents when they were young!"

"This is going to be so awkward…"

And to their surprise, all of their future counterpart in the room were present. All of the girls from Class 77-B, Class 78, Class 79, there was even the four girls from the staff in the room, as well as the two girls from the Reserve Course! All of them were older, and dressed quite formally as well. What shocked them more, however, is that they all had kids who looked a lot like them at their side.

All of them were all around Future Makoto. All of the future women all had the same ring around their finger, the same as Future Makoto. And all of the kids were calling him 'Papa'.

"Okay, okay, I know you're all happy to see me, kids, but I think we've got some things to clear up," Future Makoto laughed. "Everyone, say hello to your parents from the past. Especially your father."

All of the children, with no exception, turned towards Makoto with big smiles. "Hi daddy!"

Makoto blinked once, then twice, and then the information sank in. "….uh?!"

"Woah, woah, WOAH! What the fuck is going on here?!" Present Natsumi freaked out completely, followed by the other girls who didn't believe what they were seeing."

"Well, isn't obvious at this point?" Future Makoto chuckled at this, showing him his ring. "I'm presenting you guys my family. Well, most of them anyway." He then turned towards Future Kyouko Kirigiri. "I assume the others wanted to come."

"Yes, but they decided to stay behind in order not to… overwhelm your younger counterpart, and we don't know how accurate this timeline is," Future Kyouko, looking as formal as ever, smiled down at him. "We will think about something to solve that."

"Wait, that's not all of them?!" Present Makoto exclaimed, beginning to lose his mind. "Y-you mean to tell me that… all of us really…"

"Wait… that ring… that outfit…" Present Sonia then gasped in recognition. "Could it be?!"

"Indeed, dear myself from the past!" Future Sonia giggled as she proceeded to present her family. "Greeting, everyone! Now that all of us, or the majority of us, is here, allow us to present ourselves! You have in front of you, the first people to join the Naegi family! Or rather, should I say, the Naegi family from House Nevermind! We are now the family that rules over the kingdom of Novoselic, which is now a part of the Hopeful Alliance, after finally reuniting Novoselic with Borginia and Fortuna, as well as an alliance with Japan!" She then gestured to her family. "This is our beautiful children that are the fruits of our unions, between Makoto-darling and my sisters, who are my husband's mistresses, and also named as Ladies! As for me, I am now Queen Sonia Nevermind, and as you already guessed it…"

"The King is me, Naegi Makoto," Future Makoto, now referred as King Makoto, bowed to them with a smile. "It is once again a pleasure to meet you all, and I hope you enjoyed our little surprise."

Everyone looked at the Future family with disbelief in their faces, processing the information given to them.

And of course, the explosion of sound came.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHH?!"

"YES! VICTORY!" Present Sonia cheered happily, looking at everyone. "I knew you would accept my proposal! This is just perfect!"

"Wait, you mean this – all of this was your idea?!" Present Makoto was panting of panic now, the breakdown was evident on his face. "I-I… what is all of this?! T-there's no way anything like this is true!"

"Oh, why are you denying fact, past Makoto? We just love you too much to lie to you like this." Future Junko approached him with a wink. "Or perhaps you want me to show you how sincere we are, hmm?~"

Present Chisa felt herself act before thinking, and with a red face, hugged her Makoto from behind, making the back of her head touch her breasts. "Hey, back off! He's ours, so leave him to us!"

"Oh, I know he's dear to you," Future Junko smirked atr her. "Thank you for confirming that."

Present Chisa then realized what she just did, and released him with a red face. "N-Naegi-kun… I-I…"

"Nyahahaha! Why do all of you seem so flustered?" Future Angie Yonaga laughed as she did in the past. "Did you really think there would be any alternative?"

"W – YES! None of us thought of anything like this!" Present Mahiru was blushing madly like so many other girls. "W-what, you mean to tell me we all decided to… s-s-s-s-share Naegi-kun like that?!"

"Well, to be fair, this is an expected reaction. We would have done the same," Future Celestia giggled. "Oh, I'm sorry, you are us from the future, so… I guess you could say we have the same reactions. Then again, since we're older…"

"I… I am myself very shaken by this development," Present Miaya taped, the blush obvious on her face despite her scarf. "I mean… I am not unhappy about this development, but… there are surely consequences for this…. Familial arrangement."

While some girls from the present like Toko, Mikan and Angie were all too happy to have a future with their love no matter what were the circumstances, others were more preoccupied with some details. "W-wait… what about my career then?! A-and all of us have personal dreams too, what happened?" Sayaka asked with a worried tone, despite her happiness that she also got her love, despite the fact she was sharing him.

"D-does Ibuki and the others still have fun with what they do?" Present Ibuki asked nervously.

"S-some of us were teachers here! How did you even get this to work?!" Present Ruruka asked a bit red and embarrassed, Seiko nodding alongside here, seemingly near passing out as well.

"And what is happening to Japan? If we are living in Novoselic…" Kirumi asked with concern.

"Not to mention, maybe some of our families are not happy with the… marriage…" Present Kyouko said with a sad tone, with some like Present Hiyoko and Present Natsumi nodding in understanding.

"Or some people may want to get in the way," Present Maki added seriously.

"I think we're all missing an important question," Present Mukuro asked seriously. "…are we all happy with Makoyo-kun?"

"I-Ikusaba-san?!" Present Makoto looked at her with a red face and shocked expression. Was she… really okay with this?!

"Of course we are." Future Mukuro said with a smile, as she and everyone around Future Makoto hugged him with loving smile. "He always makes sure to give everyone love, and we make sure to return it. Both to him and our sisters, of course. Lots, and lots of love. ~"

"T-Tenko is… Yumeno-san's sister?" Present Tenko was trembling, red from the face and sweating nervously, the thought of her together with not only Makoto, but Himiko and the others… it did sounds too good to be true.

And then Present Himiko murmured embarrassingly, without looking at her in the eyes "I… wouldn't mind that…"

That made steam comes out of Tenko's ears. "Y-Yumeno-san?!"

"M-me neither, to be honest…" Present Fuwa admitted on the same tone, looking at Present Mahiru.

"F-Fuwa-san!" Said girl was embarrassed to no limits.

"Hold up, HOLD UP! What the fuck you mean, 'gives him lots of love'?!" Miu, who was red from the idea of sharing her sidekick, was glaring at them while sweating a lot. "What, you mean you fuck until sun rises every day?! What, is this guy a sex god or something?!"

Every of the female from the Future turned around, and said with the most straightforward face possible. "Yes."

Silence resumed in the room, nobody could talk after this revelation. Then Future Makoto chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "I mean… you girls usually call something similar. You girls deserve the best."

"Oh, here we go again…" the boy at Future Mahiru's side sighed tiredly with many of his siblings. "You just had to say that in front of everyone…"

"I think it's fun to see their reaction," the boy next to Future Junko snickered. "Especially our young daddy. Just look at him shake like a leaf-"

THUMP!

"-aaaaand he's out of commission." Indeed, the poor Present Makoto passed out, completely submerged by what he learned. Swirls were replacing his eyes and his face was really hot.

"Aaaah! Naegi-san!" Present Tsumiki went to his side immediately. "Oh no… he passed out immediately."

"I get him! Seriously, I think I'm going to pass out too!" Ruruka was panting heavily as well, the situation dawning on her like a hammer on her head, and it didn't help her… kid, was getting nearby.

As all of the girls were dealing with the situation their way, the two others adults were on the side, as Jin asked, looking as if he was also about to hit the ground, "Kisakura, I need this address you talked about. Right now."

"Yup. Me too buddy." Koichi nodded with a tone of understanding. They would need a lot of alcohol for this, not that it would help much, considering the news to come.

There we go! Three chapter in one go! And the rfest will be for the next birthday!

Yup. I had to pass a lot of time for this, so for now, I'll just let it on the side. Hope you can wait one year!

And I do need to come back with my other work! So… see ya all soon!

Pupla out, Corona begone. Stay safe people.
