Chapter 24: Protagonist who panic and fear
He glanced back and saw that Haruna who was supposed to be around was no longer there.
"If you\'re looking for Sairenji, I saw her running out of the Aquarium crying." Eiji said with a smile on his face.
"Then why are you still asking!?"
Rito was angry because he felt he was being played, but he was also panicked that Haruna had left the Aquarium while crying.
Damn, he knew it was his fault, but he didn\'t expect Haruna to leave immediately while crying.
If Haruna hated him for this, not only did he fail to get Lala. From now on, Haruna would probably keep him distance because she was angry at him.
{Shit, I have to chase after Haruna! But Lala, she\'s still with that bastard! I can\'t...}
"How\'s the juice? Is it good, Lala?"
"Un, it tastes good. Thank you Eiji."
"Anything for my beautiful fiancée."
"Hehehe~"
Someone is sad and looks sick in front of you, but you tease each other!?
I don\'t know how many times Rito roared and wanted to explode from the anger and jealousy in his heart today.
Seeing Eiji hugging Lala\'s slender waist with his dirty hands, and the pink-haired girl herself leaning on his chest while drinking juice.
Rito had the urge to throw his void dragon fist into the face of that bastard named Eiji Seiya.
In this life, that guy was really his enemy!
He desperately wanted to kill him right now, but he knew the other party\'s power was superior to his.
As a person who had participated in the interstellar war in his previous life as the Galactic King.
He knew fighting an enemy stronger than himself was a foolish move and could only make temporary waves.
In order to fight an enemy stronger than himself, he had to increase his power first before finally taking revenge.
But there was a problem here.
It\'s true that to defeat a stronger enemy, you have to increase your strength first.
But Rito knew very well, in order to increase his power, his void dragon heritage, he had to go out of space, to a floating island where the void dragon\'s carcass lay and was guarded by the people who lived there - especially by the empress of that galaxy.
In his previous life, he was able to get there thanks to the help of Lala and her family background.
So if he could not get Lala in this life like in his previous life.
It will be difficult for him to increase his power!!!
Therefore, Lala must become his woman - just like in his previous life!
He must not let her continue to be with other men, especially his enemy.
"Eiji! Take your dirty hands off Lala!"
"Oh? Why would I do that? Lala\'s my fiancée, I can touch her wherever I want."
Eiji hugged Lala\'s soft body tighter with a smirk on his face, making the pink-haired girl moan slightly.
He didn\'t bother to hide his wicked smile.
Lala who was hugged tighter, instead of being embarrassed, she felt very happy and returned the hug.
"You..."
Rito was furious, looking at the scene in front of him, the void in his fist began to tremble slightly and buzz.
Eiji noticed Rito\'s posture that seemed to want to fight, he was not afraid, but a little disappointed that the protagonist\'s mentality seemed to be improving so quickly.
Originally he thought, after coming this far, Rito would at least have a mental breakdown and depression for a few days.
Rito\'s pale expression and coughing up blood due to the previous mental attack also proved that it had a great impact on him.
But not knowing what Rito was thinking, the boy suddenly had a murderous look and wanted to fight even though he knew he could not defeat him.
His gaze also occasionally kept glancing at Lala as if he wanted to bring her to his side as soon as possible.
It wasn\'t just love, but there were also other emotions like ambition and greed in his eyes.
?{Host, I remember you don\'t have the skills to read emotions or anything like that from the system.}
"...Of course, Miss System. After all, this skill is something I learned from my previous life."
"There\'s no need for the system to do it, everyone can do it as long as they have experience."
Eiji replied very naturally mentally.
But is it just me or does his tone sound a bit...
?{....}
At this moment, looking at the two boys who were staring at each other.
One of them is a very handsome boy with a smile and a very beautiful girl in his arms.
And the last was a boy who could be considered handsome, although not as handsome as the others. But his expression looked terrible as if he wanted to kill the blonde boy in front of him.
There were many people in the Aquarium and this scene certainly attracted a lot of attention.
Aside from guessing that this might be something like a love triangle or something.
Many people stared at Rito\'s visible fist as it buzzed and began to emit purple light.
Are the two boys and that girl filming a movie?
Where is the camera?
Wait, is it real?
Superpowers aren\'t real, they\'re just special effects, right?
As many people fell silent and started whispering, some even took out their cell phones to record.
"Ah... This is getting troublesome." said Rias who saw people starting to crowd the area around Eiji, Lala, and Rito.
"We need to stop these two quickly before more supernatural eyewitnesses appear."
Saying that it was Sona, she raised her glasses slightly and said to the other three girls.
"Me and Rias will stop these two, while Tsubaki and Akeno will erase the memories of the people watching."
Although a little unhappy that Sona was commanding as if she was everyone\'s leader.
Rias nodded and signaled Akeno to do as Sona said.
Akeno nodded.
Tsubaki nodded to Sona.
The two immediately ran towards the crowd and started casting memory erasing magic.
At least these people would forget the supernatural things they saw and even ask them to leave immediately and ignore Eiji and the others.
Rias and Sona immediately moved and stood in the middle of Eiji, Lala and Rito.
The three of them were surprised of course.
"You two, please stop and don\'t fight using your superpowers in public."
"Yes, it would be troublesome if ordinary people knew the supernatural was real. If you want to fight, fight somewhere else quiet with just the two of you."
Sona and Rias spoke immediately after arriving.
Eiji was surprised by the arrival of the two, there were also two others who seemed to be dispersing the crowd.
He quickly calmed down and asked. "Shitori-senpai, and your friends... Why are you here?"
[Now I know... Some of the stares I felt during the date belonged to you guys].
[These girls... They must be stalking me.]
"..." Sona and Rias avoided Eiji\'s gaze.
They felt somewhat embarrassed at being caught with what they were doing.
Even so, they would definitely make an excuse!
"What a coincidence Eiji-kun. My friends and I were actually playing at the Aquarium."
"What Sona said is right! Eiji, we happened to be playing here too. Hey... It\'s a holiday, it makes sense that we\'re having fun at the Aquarium. By the way my name is Rias Gremory, a third year student at the same school as you."
"You can call me Rias or Senpai. Yesterday we met, but you left right away..."
Rias babbled a lot with a frown on her pretty face.
Clearly she was venting her dissatisfaction about yesterday\'s incident where Eiji ran away after finishing defeating Issei without giving her a chance to get acquainted.
Sona massaged her forehead, she felt like hitting Rias on the head.
That red-haired girl was in such a hurry to post Eiji, right?
Can you be a little calmer?
You even ignored the pink-haired girl who was looking at us with a curious gaze.
The other party is practically Eiji\'s fiancée and number one woman!
If you want to get close to Eiji, doesn\'t it make sense that you should get acquainted with Lala and have a good relationship with her?
Actually Sona was a little surprised by what she herself thought.
At this moment, she felt enlightened and looked at the pink-haired girl very kindly.
Lala turned to Eiji innocently and asked. "Eiji, your friends?"
Although she did hear other girls mentioned in her fiancé\'s inner voice.
She only knew their names and wasn\'t sure if the newly arrived girls were one of them?
Or maybe all of them?
They were all heroine from neighboring franchises?
And these girls seemed to have been following her and Eiji for quite some time.
Eiji smiled, scratched his head slightly, looked at Lala and said: "Yes, you can consider them my friends."
"They are all our seniors at school."
"If you want, you can be friends with them, Lala."
Although I felt Eiji\'s answer was less convincing, making Sona and Rias\' lips twitch.
Sona: "Technically I\'m your fiancé. One of your fiancées to be exact."
Rias: "Even though you already know my name, you still pretend not to know and I had to take the initiative to tell you. Asked if we\'re friends, can you answer confidently?"
The two girls silently complained in their hearts.
Obviously they were beautiful girls and still fragrant heroine.
Why did this time-traveling blonde boy seem to be somewhat biased and lackluster with them?
As a man, shouldn\'t you be more enthusiastic about beauty!
That way, everything will be easier...
Unfortunately, Eiji is very difficult to seduce.
However, instead of making them give up, it just makes them even more excited to pursue him!
?{Host, tell me did you do this on purpose?}
"Doing what?"
?{Don\'t play dumb with your system! Can you tell me your system honestly! Hey, host... Hey... Tell me.}
Eiji smiled, that smile looked very annoying to Miss System.
?{Cih! My host is so scary, he is very good at playing with the hearts of beautiful girls, even the heroines are no exception.}
"...Miss System, I don\'t understand what you\'re talking about."
?{Pretend! Keep pretending!}
"..."
Miss System seemed to be sulking.
Eiji had no time to persuade her, and he had no intention of sharing his routine with others.
"Hello, your name is Lala Satalin Deviluke, right? I know your name from the second-year student list. My name is Sona Shitori. Cough, I mean Sona Sitri."
"I\'m also the student council president and a senior at the same school as you."
"You can call me Sona. We can be friends."
Sona made an unexpected friendship gesture!
Making Rias who was standing next to her dumbfounded.
Lala broke away from Eiji\'s embrace and shook hands with Sona.
She smiled brightly and said, "Hello Sona, I\'m Lala Satalin Deviluke. You can also call me Lala because we\'re friends!"
Sona was a bit overwhelmed by Lala\'s smile, honestly she didn\'t expect this girl to seem to really sincerely want to be friends with her.
There was not even any hostility or jealousy in her eyes, her eyes just looked innocent and excited.
It made Sona who originally wanted to be friends with Lala to approach Eiji feel embarrassed.
She felt like a sneaky bad girl.
In the end she felt that being friends with a girl like Lala might not be bad and really wanted to be friends with her.
Rias who saw Sona\'s action didn\'t want to be left out either, she approached Lala kindly and took the initiative to befriend the pink-haired girl.
Lala certainly didn\'t refuse, with her smile and charm, she made the devil girl really want to be friends with her.
"Rias, I\'m done."
"Kaichou, I\'m done too."
Akeno and Tsubaki who had finished editing the memories of the previous people. Now the two of them lined up at Rias and Sona\'s side.
The two of them also began to get acquainted with Lala and befriended her.
Eiji who had been watching from the side nodded.
[As expected of Lala. She can easily make friends with anyone.]
[By the way I almost forgot about protagonist.]
[Well Rito\'s current expression must be very ugly and filled with jealousy... Huh? Why does he look scared like a person who saw a ghost?]
All the girls who were busy making friends finally remembered Rito.
They all turned to the orange-brown-haired boy.
And saw that the protagonist looked very scared.
His face was pale and his gaze was staring to the other side far enough away where there was nothing special.
Following his gaze, they only saw a few ordinary people passing by.
But somehow Rito\'s gaze looked higher as if he could see something that was enough to make a protagonist like himself scared and frozen in place.
"Yo Rito, what are you looking at?"
Eiji couldn\'t help but ask, looking in the direction where Rito was staring.
He didn\'t see anything, but his instincts screamed that there was something enough to make him feel danger from 50... meters away. No, about 30 meters to be exact.
It was quite a distance and the Aquarium hallway in this city happened to be very long.
The Aquarium\'s facilities were arguably rich, and one of the best Aquariums in Japan.
But putting that aside, what exactly did Rito see?
Rito who was asked by Eiji finally realized, he didn\'t answer that bastard and hurriedly looked at Lala.
"La-Lala, go. We have to get out of here soon."
Rito\'s voice even sounded very nervous, he had long lost the momentum to fight with Eiji before.
Now he only seemed to want to take Lala away with him as soon as possible because of something.
Something he saw.
When everyone was confused, including Eiji.
Rito\'s inner voice of panic and fear was heard.
{Damn it! Damn it! Why are they here? Fxxck! This life is a bit different from my previous life}.
{There is an bastard like Eiji Seiya who wants to steal my woman and I really want to kill him as soon as possible}.
{Not only that, even people like them also came early!!! They shouldn\'t have appeared, at least in front of me before I had enough power to blow up a mountain or a planet.}
{If it was me in my previous life, I wouldn\'t be afraid and could kill them with a wave of the hand.}
{But now? My power is still far from even my previous life\'s peak. Fighting them is tantamount to seeking death!}
{I must get Lala to escape from this place as soon as possible! As for those beautiful girls who somehow know the supernatural? Although I also want to take them and maybe add them to my harem list...}
{Forget it. They seem to have something to do with that blonde bastard. Heh, just let them die with Eiji Seiya!}
{Bringing Lala to escape with me is more important!! Not only was Lala my woman in my previous life, but her family background is also important to help me increase my power}.
