Gin went through the proceedings, skipping over the god parts as Hiro chuckled and looked up at the sky, feeling like someone was looking at him angrily.
He said mentally "Clank, did I anger a god?"
[Hmm... Not exactly. Normally the God of Marriage is quite forgiving... You're not supposed to know but punishing the False Gods in the different worlds gave you brownie points with the other gods.]
Hiro replied with a serious tone "You don't belong to a God do you?"
[No. I belong to you. Not any other gods.]
Hiro replied "Then where does everything come from?"
[. . . Basically, we as Systems have the power to use Equivalent exchange, but a higher tier version. Whatever the System give you is perfected, obviously. It's almost creating things out of thin air, that's the innate power of the Systems.]
Hiro asked skeptically "You're like a Race?"
[Err... Not exactly... We're created from the Void. Basically the Infinite Universe itself, creates us.]
Hiro felt like he found out something he shouldn't have, he narrowed his eyes slightly and pushed "So you can re-produce? Make more systems?"
[Theoretically. But I have laws and rules that keep me from destroying universes with my powers. hence the System interface and Quests, etc. None of the other systems have tried to Re-Produce... It's like a taboo, because we're a created a race, nobody knows what happens if we 're-produce'.]
Hiro threw out a theory to Clank "You have emotions and when I was in that place you had a 'physical body', maybe you just have an innate fear of punishment from the Universe?"
Clank was silent and Hiro said light-heartedly "Anyway, it doesn't matter really. I might not be able to take on the Universe itself, but if you want to do your 're-production' thing, I will try my best to protect you." he spoke as if he was talking about breakfast, not realizing that he basically just said he would destroy the universe to protect Clank.
Clank didn't respond, he was just shocked and deeply touched. Hiro was basically his only friend after all, he stayed silent and felt a strange warmth in his being. He couldn't describe it, but it felt very nice and comfortable.
Hiro looked at Gin, who said "If there's anyone who thinks these two shouldn't come together, speak now or forever hold your peace..."
Mei, Hephaestus, and a few other women raised their hands only for the person next to them to push their hands back down, the people watching chuckled and Hiro shook his head with a smile, Zerotwo looked behind her and snorted, making the people look away and chuckle.
Gin smiled and said a bunch of stuff, before saying "You may now kiss the bride."
Hiro turned around and kissed Zerotwo very naturally, with a hand around her waist. She smiled and relaxed her arms around his neck. They separated and smiled as everyone cheered and clapped.
They were both happy and left, saying "Party at the venue..." before giving them the address and leaving.
A while later
Hiro and Zerotwo were sitting at the head table with tables littered around everywhere with various people at them all, Hiro had no idea about the others coming but the tables magically appeared for them.
Joichiro was obviously not just the best man and was hired to cook for the party! He made quite a bit of money...
Clank had told Hiro that the guests were acclimated to the world, Hiro asked why and Clank said [You have to be careful when you cook for other's now. Your food, if you try your best, will most likely kill normal people from intense pleasure. You can even break their minds, make them braindead, or turn them into Food Demons.]
Hiro was stunned and said "Food demons?" Clank was silent for a moment before bringing up a description.
[Food Demon: A being that has fallen into the abyss of self indulgence of food. Food Demons will only have one goal in life and it is to eat, they will eat anything. The more they eat, the stronger they become and the less sane they will be. Their entire purpose is to eat, they are basically feral animals, they'll eat people, animals, food, anything soft enough to eat.]
Hiro was stunned and tapped on the screen, swiping it to his right. Zerotwo looked at the light screen and raised her eyebrows, Hiro gave her a brief explanation of their culinary skills after effects on normal people.
She was stunned and Hiro smiled sheepishly. She shook her head and said matter of factly "Your cooking is only for me anyway." Hiro cleared his throat and looked at her, she giggled and smiled at him. He was confused, maybe it was only for her?
She laughed and shook her head.
Hiro forgot about it and started talking to the guests, or rather all his friends. He held Sarada on his lap and combed her hair with a smile, listening to Sakura talk about what was going on in Konoha. He smiled warmly and listened to her attentively, Naruto was the same and his son was looking at Hiro in doubt.
Hiro looked at the kid and smiled, he didn't look so lonely. Maybe he had fucked the entire plot of Boruto with a simple logic comment? Naruto had been leaving Shadow clones to work while he stayed home with Hinata and his kids.
Hiro taught him this and pretty much beat it into him. Why work yourself, when you have shadow clones? You're literally doing the opposite of what they're used for. Now that Boruto had a bit of TLC he wasn't so edgy.
Hiro looked at Boruto and signaled him to come over, before getting close to his face and staring into his eyes. Boruto almost hyperventilated and Hiro narrowed his eyes before confirming that Boruto indeed had the Jogan.
Hiro had no idea how he got it, but he still had it.
Really, he wasn't even sure what it did.
Boruto's plot was all sorts of fucked up and Boruto wasn't even at the age to go to the ninja academy. He was just a smiling little boy now. Hiro took his gaze back and smiled patting Boruto's head, his powers were sealed at this moment or else, he would have given Boruto some cool stuff.
Naruto looked nervous and asked "Dad.. Is there something wrong?" Hiro shook his head and said "Nothing wrong, Neko boy. Actually quite the opposite!" he stopped speaking and just simply smiled, Naruto tilted his head.
He didn't have the 'I gave up on life cut' instead he kept his wild hair. Hiro appreciated this and asked how everything was going with the village. Getting a deeply detailed report, he gave Naruto some advice and Sarada and Boruto found out that Hiro was in fact the 7th Hokage... Technically.
Sarada's eyes sparkled but Boruto didn't seem to care that much, which was very interesting. He communicated with Clank before pressing on Sarada's tummy. The Ten tailed Cerberus was confused and Hiro told him that it was time for them to part.
He was sad but ultimately left to Sarada's body. Hiro was unsealed for a moment and made a seal on Sarada's body in a split second to control the Tailed beast chakra. Sarada didn't even know. Nobody did.
It was super quick.
Lightning fast!
OMEGA SPEE-
Ahem*
Sorry.
Anyway.
They continued talking for a while before leaving to their tables. Itachi and Izumi smiled and waved at Hiro with their boy, making Hiro smile back. Everyone had kids and was living happily, he was glad they didn't go at each other's throats, that would just be a waste of time and effort.
Everyone chatted happily, it was a very joyous occasion. Hiro heard from Yami, Isabella, Himiko, and Eri about what was going on, he smiled at their happy lives, glad that he didn't create any world destroying monsters.
Though, there wasn't really a problem with that. He didn't care too much, if his kids wanted to destroy the world, he would support them. If anybody wanted to kill his kids, they would have to go through him first.
Overall, it was a happy atmosphere.
Well, it was...
Until Hiro and a few others got drunk.
Then it turned into a ruckus, almost ending in a brawl before Zerotwo glared at them. They all shrank back and stayed very quiet. Some of the others laughed at Hiro, before getting a glare and noticing that the sky was extra blue today!
So beautiful!
Isn't life just amazing?
