The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"Aaargh noo!"

"Hahahaha~" Sara burst out laughing hysterically at Usami who cradled her head and went into a crouch on the floor of his study, and as Sara laughed she dipped into her shadows and pulled out an extra pair of her maid uniform and dropped it on her back causing Uriyu and Dina to start laughing and eventually Arla as well while Ikaris just snickered and smiled at them.

"Did I say something wrong?" Sol looked at Ikaris and then glanced over her shoulder at Usami again.

"The two of them got into a heated discussion about the first thing you would say after you returned, Usami wagered Sara would be her personal maid for a week, and Sara wagered Usami would have to dress as a traditional maid and serve you for a week, as you can see; Sara won."

"Pffft!" Sol slapped his forehead and laughed as well. "Of course she would win, Sara has spent the entire time we've known each other studying my habits, my dislikes and likes she's the ultimate maid and she wears that title like a badge!" He tapped Ikaris's head while he too broke into hysterical laughter when Sara started giving Usami tips on how to behave for the next week.

"Well then!" Sara sobered up before everyone else and clapped her hands gaining their attention. "While Milady dresses and prepares for the week ahead, dinner has been served everyone, please make an orderly retreat to the dining area!" She opened the door and stood on the outside waiting as they all passed one after the other.

"Love, is everything truly okay?" Ikaris looked at him while her and Dina stood and Arla waited outside with Sara.

"I can't say yes nor can I say no right now, but I can tell you I'm ready for whatever comes." Sol answered taking her by her shoulders and kissing her cheek from behind while Dina rested her hands on his back and led him forming a three-person train.

"Whether you are ready or not remains to be seen..." Lumi commented to herself but flinched when she felt a golden gaze as well as an azure gaze lock on to her, and sure enough, looking at them again she found both Sol and Ikaris had stopped walking and were staring directly at her while Ikaris had a similar projection of the tree shimmering in her palm as it continuously bore new life and new verses.

"Hm, now even I am exposed and unable to hide should he choose to find me, indeed; he is a rarity of his kind." Lumi thought to herself smiling and vanishing from where she resided.

"Quite handy indeed." Ikaris looked at the tree again and dissolved the image from her mind. "Even without the necessary power to travel everywhere, I can now easily view anything I wish to by simply being in contact with you, this is an amazing creation, Dear, I would say your third best accomplishment ever."

"My third?" Sol leaned his head, amused.

"Yes, the second was having the stones to marry me, and the first I think we would both agree is our beloved little one who ravenously feeds on our mana to grow healthily." She made a motherly face as she pursed her lips and tapped her belly. "Oh, she is waking." She chuckled and began walking again while Sol beamed with pride at the compliments.

"Alpha, how's the transition going?" Sol asked while he and everyone were sitting in front of the TV watching it together for once.

"As you would expect, master, more greedy factions have claimed it to be their doing, and the media has been calling it the second wave, already there is widespread chaos as the first groups of reckless humans utilize their newly adapted powers to do as they please while some others seem to be actively trying to stop them creating an almost effective hero and villain dynamic within the first seven hours." Alpha took a seat as a small entity on his shoulder, kicking her legs and staring at the monitor.

"As their genes are mixed in a few generations they will be vastly more powerful than the average warrior of Arkadia as an example, so tier two swordsmen and mages but with the exemption of magic being absent for a more effective stamina-based scaling.

That said, as more time passes children will be born with superior attributes in all those fields vastly more potent than the current generation will be, within two hundred years some will be strong enough to fight a being as powerful as a lesser demon-god, easily capable of destroying continents, though, they will be very few, less than 0.000005% to be precise, so roughly about a hundred to a thousand people across the planet."

"I'm already capable of that."

"Of course, you are Usami Takae." Alpha looked at Usami in her maid uniform standing behind Sol while Sara stood next to her with a proud smile as the new cosplayer's mannerisms and posture were perfect.

"You we're bred in combat and blessed by gods to fight against dimensional invaders on a world over a hundred times the size of earth, you and everyone else from Arkadia are vastly superior for the time being, but given enough time, earth will become a superpower unlike any before, much like..." Alpha paused and looked at Sol.

"Much like Zola-Prime and Hāl, capable of interstellar travel across their own universe." Sol picked up where she left off and Alpha hummed in agreement.

"Precisely."

"Zola-Prime and Hāl." Uriyu repeated the names and looked at his sister. "I haven't heard anything from you about those places."

"I never went," Usami answered him with a straight expression.

"And I'm glad I didn't, it sounds amazing in theory, but a world ruled by demons and another sister world governed by demon-gods sounds just like the place someone like me would fit right in, and I don't mean that in any good way, I usually adapt and let things as they are, there's no telling who's hands I would have ended up in to save my own skin." She admitted and Uriyu lowered his gaze at the unsettling thought and looked up at her again.

"I won't let that happen, I'll protect you, Usami, now that I have a skill tree that I can activate I'll find ways to grow stronger, don't go anywhere that I can't reach you, you won't need to lift a finger ever again, big sister!" He balled his fist and everyone paused in their thoughts and looked at him and then at Usami who clapped her cheeks and blushed, beaming with pride.

"Oh god my little Uriyu is all grown up now~!" Usami swooned. "I missed so much time with my precious little brother!" She swayed from side to side.

"Oh god, there's no mistaking that they're siblings through and through." Dina stared at Uriyu flexing his muscles and his sister doting on him as sparkles and light radiated off the two, but then it got even weirder when Gia who had been sitting quietly in Arla's lap leapt around and started mimicking her uncle flexing and making weird poses making Usami swoon even harder shooting hearts from her person.

"Hah? It runs in the family!?" Dina's jaw dropped and her eyes twitched comically meanwhile Ikaris who was seeing this kind of dynamic from people other than Sol and Sara for the first time shook and began laughing from her seat next to him.

"You see, don't you?" Sol directed his thoughts out into the void, not even bothering to search.

"This is what I have accomplished, this is the fabricated peace you speak of, to be seated and enjoy the company of your loved ones without worrying that someone wants to take that peace away from you, without worrying that you're being targeted, this is what I want to protect, this is what I will fight to the bitter end to defend."

"..."

"-Sol?" Ikaris snapped her fingers before him jolting him out of his train of thoughts. "Did you hear me, I asked if something happened?" She rested her hand on his shoulder and he looked around and found all the playfulness had come to a halt as they all stared at him expectantly.

"No, I was just lost in thought, thinking how much has happened over the last ten months and how much closer we've all grown." He looked at them. "From the moment I greeted you all in Arkadia pretending to be a weakling to get out of working under anyone, to now; it's been a real adventure." He smiled. "A lot more like the reincarnation I expected the first time."

"Yeah, if only Eris could be here, to see that earth isn't much different from Arkadia now." Usami mumbled, catching Ikaris's ear.

"We should visit her soon, right?" Dina suggested. "Six months here is about two months and a few days on Arkadia, but a lot has happened since we left."

"We should do it sooner than later." Ikaris looked at him as well. "With a threat like this looming over our head and the baby being a beacon once I deliver her, there is a chance we will never get to see Eris for a very long time, or possibly ever again." She reminded him, and Sol scrunched his nose and turned his lips.

"Yes, but before then, Dina's finals are two weeks away, the results are months after that so we can always return within that timeframe, but it's good to finish what we start." He looked at the mage in question when everyone agreed and she nodded, blushing at the fact that they would all postpone such an important journey on her behalf.

"I'll use that opportunity to speak to Dr'ul and the others as well, we can kill two birds with one stone."
