Chapter 396: Sometimes ignorance is a good thing
Chapter 396: Sometimes ignorance is a good thing
He could only be satisfied with Lilith's positive level which had reached 63 after the kiss. It meant that she liked him more than friends but she hadn't realized it yet or was too embarrassed to admit it.
This scene looked like the confession scenes Lilith had seen in some romance manga she read.
Just like Rias, although not as excessive as that girl; Lilith sometimes read some manga and romance novels because these were also good learning materials to deepen her understanding of her Luxuria archives. Otherwise, she would not have the love brain that made her easily conquered by the protagonist Arata in the original work.
"Eiji... the reason why I told you to come here was actually to test your power."
Lilith said her true purpose even though she did it to change the topic.
Still, the blush on her white cheeks at this moment would make many men including the protagonist Arata who saw her mesmerized.
Eiji was the same, there was a small evil fire burning in his heart.
"Testing my power? Lilith, you won't regret it. I can exercise with more than a dozen women from night to morning without running out of ammunition. You want to test me? You want us to do it at my house, your house or a hotel? Lilith, I didn't expect you to be so impatient."
He shook his head with a wry smile. Even so he did not refuse which made Lilith blink her eyes in confusion.
"Exercise? Women? H-Hotel? Eiji, what are you talking about?"
Although she was recognized as a mage with a very high intelligence in Trinity Seven because she mastered Outer Alchemic magic and Layer Alchemy which was basically creation magic.
She needed a large amount of scientific knowledge which was completely different from the magic that the other Trinity Seven members mastered.
Her magic was more complicated.
But with all that, she didn't understand what Eiji was saying at all!
Can this boy speak human language?
[I didn't expect Lilith to be so innocent. Of course I knew what she meant was not my power as a man in bed. I just wanted to tease her should I tell her?]
So you're teasing me.
And when she heard the word 'bed' from his inner voice, Lilith finally understood what Eiji was talking about.
Turns out it was sex!
Although being able to defeat more than a dozen women without running out of ammunition from night to morning sounded crazy...
'No, why am I thinking this?'
She removed the boy's hand from hers and shouted, "Eiji, you pervert!"
[Koneko: Senpai is indeed a pervert.]
Koneko who was watching from ORC sent a text in the group chat. The other girls watching the livestreaming also started commenting.
Most of them agreed with what Koneko said except for Ravel attacking the cat girl.
[Ravel: Said the kitten who lately likes to lick Eiji-sama's morning wood before he wakes up.]
[Koneko: Birdy, I don't understand what you're saying.]
[Ravel: Fufufu. You don't understand, kitten? I have the video. The quality is very clear~ We can watch it with everyone in the group.]
[Koneko: Birdy...! Stop it, why do you like to mess with me?!]
[Ravel: I just like her. What's wrong with that?]
[Koneko: You're my enemy! Birdy, no. Roast chicken!]
While Koneko and Ravel were wrestling in the group chat and the other women were watching excitedly.
Eiji pretended to be confused and looked sad.
"Lilith, I was just joking. Why are you reacting so violently? I admit what I said earlier was a bit perverted, but your reaction was a bit excessive, right?"
Lilith was sure it wasn't excessive, but seeing Eiji looking sad she wondered if she slapped his hand too hard?
She felt a little guilty...
She didn't know Eiji was just pretending to get her sympathy and the boy had succeeded in doing so.
"That's... Sorry Eiji, I didn't mean to. It's just that, you were too perverted. Please stop playing around and stop teasing me, okay?"
"Impossible!"
"...." Lilith looked at the boy in front of her with a surprised look.
What's wrong? Suddenly yelling. Actually it was you who kept overreacting.
"Lilith, you want me to stop teasing you? Well as long as you become my girlfriend, it's not impossible." Eiji said as if it was a reasonable thing to say to her.
Even the heroines in ORC felt embarrassed by what was being watched.
The way of wooing the heroine this time was more unique than usual.
Eiji was being unreasonable.
They wouldn't be surprised Lilith would shout "You're being unreasonable!" but the girl suddenly smiled.
Although Lilith was smiling, her eyes didn't seem to be smiling at all. Actually she was tired of talking to Eiji and with her intelligence suddenly thought of the right way to talk to this boy.
Dozens of magic circles suddenly appeared in the air and from there created many pistols that surrounded them, or rather all the pistols locked onto Eiji as a target.
"You want me to be your girlfriend? It's not impossible. I'll think about it as long as you can withstand a few attacks from me, Eiji. Do you agree?"
She didn't mean any harm of course, she just wanted to test Eiji's power. And looking at the many magic pistols she had created surrounding him...
Instead of being nervous or scared, the boy actually looked very calm. He even smiled at her.
That smile was too dangerous for her heart which made Lilith jump a few meters back. If she looked at him from such a close distance for any longer, Lilith was afraid she would fall in love with Eiji!
"You really want to know how strong I am, Lilith? Well, I don't mind showing you a small part of my power." Eiji said with both hands in his pockets.
His posture that was so relaxed made Lilith frown, she felt that Eiji did not take her power seriously. She was a little annoyed and determined to show her power as a member of Trinity Seven!
At this moment, all the magic pistols in the air were about to shoot Eiji from all directions.
However—
The school bell suddenly rang.
"...." While Lilith was dumbfounded and reflexively deactivated her magic.
Eiji suddenly appeared beside her and held her hand before she could react.
"Too bad Lilith, the lunch break has ended. As good students, we must not miss the next class."
"Let's go back to class."
Eiji gently and naturally pulled Lilith's hand as if she were his girlfriend.
This action made all the spectators fall silent.
[.....]
Miss System was even too lazy to comment on her host's shameless act.
"Eehh?! Eiji, no... Wait, how about testing your power? I-It's wrong!" Lilith was dissatisfied, she was really reluctant. This all happened because she and Eiji had talked too much until the lunch break ended before she started what she wanted.
That boy was teasing her so much that she kept procrastinating about fighting with him.
At this moment, she didn't even think about letting go of Eiji's hand that was intertwining his fingers between hers. From other people's point of view, they looked like a cute couple who had done something from behind the old school building.
Some students who saw them would spread rumors about Lilith and Eiji.
Lilith didn't realize this, she didn't even know everything that happened from beginning to end was Eiji's calculation.
The boy was too soft on a heroine like Lilith, he made a situation where they didn't need to fight and just flirted with each other.
They cultivated love for more than half an hour.
The audience in ORC looked at Lilith with pity before laughing at her from a distance.
"Lilith, don't tell me you want to skip the next class? Lilith, that's not a good thing for a student to do, especially for a transfer student like you. You want to be a bad student?"
While walking like a couple and ignoring the stares of the students on the street, Eiji reprimanded Lilith.
His words would make people who knew him want to spit.
If we talk about bad students who often skipped class and broke the rules at school by opening harems and doing perverted things with the girls, Eiji definitely ranked in the top 10 at school.
Of course, Lilith who had recently transferred to Kuoh Academy didn't know this. But she who was previously a strict and formal teacher at Royal Biblia Academy, she felt embarrassed by what Eiji said.
"I... Of course not, I don't want to be a bad student."
"That's good." Eiji nodded and added, "If you want to see my power, you'll have a chance later. It just so happens that there's someone I have to save."
"...?"
Lilith was happy to hear that Eiji would show her his power but she was confused by the last part.
Someone you have to save?
Who?
...
Meanwhile.
In the world of Trinity Seven.
There were time differences in each world but this was happening at the same time as Eiji was kissing Lilith and Lilith was enjoying what they were doing.
A black-haired boy who was sparring with a beautiful woman with long black hair suddenly frowned due to a rather painful stabbing sensation in his heart.
His previous movements of nimbly dodging every attack from his opponent also stopped.
This made the magic-coated kick of the woman he was fighting hit his stomach.
"Gahhh!"
With the sound of an explosion and saliva spurting from his mouth, protagonist Arata's body was thrown to the other side of the field and crashed into the wall. He was clutching his stomach with an expression of pain.
The woman on the other side who had been looking at him, Akio shouted from the center of the field.
"Oi Magic King playboy! Are you alright?"
"I almost spewed my guts out. Akio, where do you think I look okay?!"
Arata replied excitedly while standing up with a wry smile. He walked back to the center of the field.
"I'm sorry but it's your fault for letting your guard down in the fight. What were you thinking about just now?"
"I suddenly thought of Lilith! Akio, do you know where she is? It's been five days since I've seen her. She doesn't seem to be at school."
"Ahaha! Do you miss the sexy Lilith-sensei, boy?" Akio laughed and asked teasingly.
But instead of being embarrassed or blushing, protagonist Arata nodded without shame and said honestly.
"Yes! I miss Lilith!"
"My husband misses other women. Am I a victim of NTR?"
A shoulder-length blue-haired girl with a flat expression and even tone suddenly appeared between the two of them.
She called Arata husband even though they were not married.
Arata was actually surprised, but he pretended to cough and looked at the girl while holding his chin.
"Arin."
"Yes, my husband."
"You're not a victim of NTR."
"Oh why...?"
"It's because I'm going to ask your permission to have a concubine in the future!"
Arata said half-seriously and half-jokingly. But instead of getting angry, Arin nodded as if he understood.
"So as a legal wife, I have to give you permission to have Lilith-sensei as a concubine? Okay my husband, I give you permission."
"Seriously?!" Arata was surprised.
"Ahahaha!" Akio burst out laughing. "You two make a good husband and wife and joker. Still, if Lilith were here, she'd beat you both up."
The two people in question fell silent. They could imagine Lilith's face turning red and shouting that she would not be anyone's concubine! The girl would summon a gun to shoot them.
Arata was missing the red-haired girl even more.
He looked at Akio as if continuing their previous topic.
Akio understood and said quietly, "Speaking of Lilith, I only know the principal sent her on an investigative mission to another world."
"Another world?" Not just Arata, Arin also asked curiously.
Akio hesitated to tell the details because the principal only told her and Mira about the other world in question and that man told them to keep it a secret.
But because of Arata's protagonist halo that made her have a very good impression on her even though they were enemies before, Akio decided to tell Arata and Arin.
It's just about another world. As for the details of the mission Lilith was doing? She doesn't know either which makes Arata lucky since he'll be fine for now.
Sometimes ignorance is a good thing although sooner or later the protagonist will figure out Lilith and Eiji's increasingly ambiguous relationship.
