'I have finished going over my Status for now, Aura. I do have one more system-related question. Seeing that you're a System and all, do you have a suggested route to take for these Additional Points?', I decided to ask.
[I do. Master now has a good passive growth for three of your four main basic stats. Luck and Charisma, on the other hand, are harder to improve. They do fall within criteria of the Additional Points, and that is the path I recommend for Master. A 50%-40%-10% split into Luck, Charisma, and Intelligence accordingly. Master presently does not possess many Skills, so increasing Luck and Charisma should allow an easier time for Master to create them. Master also cannot utilize Magic, and I cannot say whether you will be able to in the coming future. It is safe not to worry as much about Intelligence for now, over your other stats. If your attention does shift focus upon doing so, then adjustments can be made accordingly. And do keep in mind, Intelligence is not Master's actual knowledge, this parameter only affects skill and spell cooldowns, and mana points.], Aura responded.
'I had that pretty much figured out already after reviewing what Intelligence did. I can't even utilize Magic yet, and I don't know the way to unlock it. It could be through the Simulations, or going out of my way to meet those Kamar-Taj folks, but I don't think the latter is going to happen. That'd bind me to yet another organization, and me already being related with Shield is enough on my plate. I don't want to stick my nose to where it doesn't belong. I want to see what I can do myself first.', I thought.
'And that is through those Simulations.', I concluded.
[Either way you go about doing that, Master, will be up to you to figure out.] Aura replied.
'Hahaha!', I inwardly laughed hearing Aura say that. I half-expected something to trigger right there from that exchange, but nothing happened. If there really were additional unknown parameters like Wisdom that were presently locked, I'd have to figure out how to learn them. And that might not be the only locked parameter either.
'Very well. Let's do as you suggested, Aura. I will not skimp out on saving these points. I should use them given the chance, considering I'm in the MCU now. One wrong turn is all it takes, knowing there's a bunch of secret organizations out there. I need to be ready for them if that ever does happen.', I thought, deciding on how to use my Available Points. Aura could additionally set it up to when the gains happen, they automatically get added into my Stats. Such a nice feature, right?
[Understood, Master. The remaining Additional Points have been consumed.] Aura said.
'Great. I'll check my Status again later. I want to see what's been going on lately since you integrated this System. I was out for a full six days. I'm sure a lot of things happened during that time, right?', I questioned.
[That would be the case, Master. Before jumping the gun as one would say, let us start from the top, seeing as you are satisfied with the System given to you. You were brought into the end of the MCU's Chitauri Invasion. The time then was May 4th, 2012. Once you arrived into the MCU, you invertedly prompted a rescue of one of the MCU's leading characters, Iron Man, who was drifting in outer space after the missile was launched. Once Master passed through the portal, Captain America issued an order to rescue you. From there, you were taken under Shield's wing, personally being looked after by Iron Man. Shield additionally hired a caretaker to look after you. I will not say who, you can enjoy meeting them once you are squared away.] Aura explained.
'So in the end, it's Shield.', I mused. 'It isn't the end of the world, considering how things turned out. I've already been placed under a protective umbrella, shielded away from those Hydra agents. I could have easily just used the portal to enter Planet Earth at my own discretion, but I didn't. I quote un quote "saved" Iron Man from being stranded, and Shield responded in kind. The question is, who exactly is looking after me right now?', I wondered. I really wanted to find out who!
I do remember hearing Black Widow volunteer herself to stay behind to watch us while the rest of the Avengers movie played out. There's no way it's her...right?
As much as I wanted to imagine such a scene, Aura continued speaking to me, which ended that thought.
[You will know once these matters have settled, Master. It would be best to learn what has happened around New York City once you're up and about. If we exclude that, all I really have to report is you aren't the first one to wake up. One of Mistress's younger sisters, Momo, has already started interacting with your caretaker. Nana is still out like a light, as is Mistress Lala.] Aura said.
'So that makes me number two. I can work with that. Time to go find out who it is.', I concluded. I'm sure there might be things in motion right now, but I needed to adapt to my new environment. I'm in the MCU now. It's a weird feeling, living again on Planet Earth not once, but now twice. I do have some knowledge I can use to help me get settled in. Investing in the stock market and such. Even though I transmigrated, I'm still a time traveler. I'm back in the past. Originally, I used to be in the Year 2024 in my first life before that craziness began.', I thought.
As that thought settled, I had nothing else pending. Aura mentioned it was May 11th, 7AM. Six days after the Chitauri Invasion. The day had just begun. I could continue resting, but decided against it. I opened my eyes. My vision was initially blurry, considering you know, Aura knocked me unconscious for an entire week. It took some time to regain my vision with the sunlight peering into the room. Once I could see clearly, I could see that I was in a suite of sorts. Two beds on my end, two beds on the opposite end.
My immediate sight saw two pink-haired girls. The one on the left was taller, but both still had their eyes shut. These two were Lala, and Nana. That meant...
Looking to my right, I saw the bedding unfurled. This should be Momo's bed. I did not see her inside it, so just like Aura mentioned, she's likely out and about. That level up I received did make the weakening feeling I had go away, almost as if I had eaten a senzu bean. But I still took my time to get out of bed.
Once I was out, I took a gander over my own body. I had the school attire Baki wore during the Convicts Saga. A boring plain white buttoned collar shirt, which ends were loose and sticking out of my waist. Black pants completed the set. It hid away most of my chest and arm muscles, but a portion of my arms were still visible. Taking a moment, I did a flex, and my muscles expanded. Yep. This is the rippling effect.
Weightlifters really do fail in comparison to what I'm seeing. Martial artists sure are on a whole other level, huh? I'll have to use the knowledge I have to re-develop the martial arts the original Baki learned over his course of life, but seeing I'm Baki himself, that will be easy, I'm sure.
I'll have to create a personalized training regime and all that fun. Right now, these muscles are only for show. I don't know how to use them properly. But seeing this be my second life as Baki now, and with my further improved status, It's almost like a new game plus, if I had to put it in a simple way of explaining it. If I did have battle instincts, they'll naturally return in due time.
"Hup.", I uttered. Bearings, check. Senses, check. Nothing abnormal after sleeping that long. I jumped out of the bed altogether, and now stood in this suite. And this is just one of the floors of the hundred floor tall Stark Tower. Iron Man sure knows how to flaunt his money.
"Lala-chan and Nana-chan are still passed out, so no point in moping around in this room forever.", I said after giving my body a good pat. I simply headed toward the door, and saw a wide floor enter my view.
"Hmm-hm-hm~", A voice of a girl said, humming a cute tone. At the same time, I heard what appeared to be a knife chopping against a cutting board. The noise was steady. To my surprise, I heard a second voice call out to the girl who was humming.
"Tell me again why we're cooking breakfast? I normally eat out. I'm not as used to cooking as you are, Momo.", A familiar voice said.
"I told you, didn't I? This is the day Onee-sama and Baki-sama will be waking up. Onee-sama didn't give me the specifics, though. Just the date. As for why, it's been an entire week. I'm sure they'll be famished, so I'm preparing a full course meal.", Momo answered.
"Of course. But why is it that I'M needed? You had me put this outfit on too. It's pretty drafty.", The second voice answered.
"More the merrier, as they say~", Momo cheekily replied, continuing her cooking. "They should be waking up soon, and there's still a lot of cooking left to do. You'll help, right? And oh, how should I address you?", Momo asked.
"Just Nat's fine. I'm not on official duty or anything. The Director is tied up with his own business for the time being so it is true to say I've a lot of free time on my hands. I don't mind helping you cook, but you seem to have a much better grasp around a kitchen than I do. You're just like a perfect housewife.", The second voice responded.
"Teehee.", Momo giggled, hearing that. "Oh please. I'll accept the compliment but that role falls onto Onee-sama. I'd just be butting in. Now let's get to cooking--?", Momo tried to say. Yet as if on cue, the two of them heard a loud sound of a grumbling stomach. It came from one of the suite rooms this giant floor had. There were definitely a few of them, which allowed Iron Man's guests to stay over for the night if he ever hosted parties. To which he frequently did, before showing interest in starting a potential serious relationship with Potts.
To the far right was Tony's personal bar. Beyond that that stretched all across the opposite end of the room were giant glass panes, revealing the veranda that was used in the Avengers movie. That was where the device was placed that housed the Tesseract. But of course by now, it was dismantled and taken away. Right now, the veranda was mostly cleared. If anything, I saw that there were construction posts at the edge of the building, likely hoisting up the gigantic letters that branded Stark Tower for what it was.
But this time around, Iron Man had different plans. This would eventually become the Avengers Tower. Right now, it is still in construction.
My gaze shifted from there to closer toward the left center of the room. I didn't imagine there would be a kitchen here, but it was very sleek and modern. A single island counter separated me from viewing the rest of the kitchen. That didn't stop me from seeing a pink-haired girl with a surprised pikachu face on her face, and a red-headed woman with a cool demeanor. Momo immediately stopped her cooking and rushed over.
"You're finally awake, Baki-sama!", Momo excitedly said, rushing across the floor to where I was.
"It's about time you woke up. While making small talk with Momo here has been enjoyable, this past week has been pretty boring.", The red-headed woman said, taking her time to walk over.
But my mind began to fizzle out just seeing the appearance of these two. Momo's spade-shaped tail was swirling around happily. Taking a moment to observe her, all I saw was a frilly pink and white apron covering her front.
And yet, it was just that. Momo's healthy and peachy skin was completely bare. Her curves were sticking to the apron, making her appearance even more alluring. But Momo was moving around in ways that one would see in an ecchi story. You couldn't see the actual thing. Her breasts were still hidden away, and the apron was tied in a particular fashion that still hid parts of her butt.
What was even more surprising was the fact that the red-haired woman had the same exact outfit Momo was presently wearing. She was entirely naked. Her curves were present, but equally hidden away thanks to how she tied the apron. Perhaps it was Momo who showed this woman how to do it?
It was the naked apron.
'This really isn't how I'd expect our first encounter would go...', I thought. But equally, I was happy.
I mean, it isn't every day you get to see THE Black Widow dressed in a naked apron.
*****
What'd you expect?
Like I stated in the preface, this is more along the lines of Baki x To Love Ru x MCU. There will be plenty of fighting and all, but at the same time, there will be random ecchi moments, just like this one. It isn't To Love Ru if you don't include them.
The only question remains, will Luck increase the randomness of these moments~?
