Miss System surprised

"A-Ano... What would you guys like to order?" The waitress at the barbecue restaurant looked at the three people sitting at one of the tables with some trepidation.

Putting aside the handsome white-haired man who was fine and didn't look suspicious, but the others... Exactly two girls in tight black clothes and weapon-like objects hanging from their backs and waists look very suspicious!

The white-haired man, who was of course Eiji. He smiled gently at the waitress and said, "Don't worry, even though those two look suspicious, they're actually just cosplaying."

Hearing this, the waitress looked relieved and she looked at the two girls with a friendly smile.

"....." Irina and Xenovia's lips twitched. The blue-haired girl wanted to say something, but the brown-haired girl silenced her mouth.

"So what would you guys like to order?" The waitress repeated her question while holding a small note.

This was a pretty good barbecue restaurant, by the way. Many office people, students, or certain families have dinner here.

They happened to choose an outdoor table where they could see the night sky, people passing by on the street, and enjoy the night breeze.

Eiji rubbed his chin while looking at the restaurant menu in his hand and said, "I want three packages of barbecue to take home and I also want to order three more to eat here."

"By the way you two. You might want to choose a specific menu? Don't hesitate."

Irina shook her head.

"No, no, this is enough. Right, Xenovia?"

"Un, although I..." The blue-haired girl seemed to want to order more, but the brown-haired girl pinched her thigh which made her pause.

"What about the drinks?" The waitress asked again.

"I want orange juice. How about you guys?"

"Me too!"

"Me...me too."

The blue-haired girl wanted to choose without worry, but the brown-haired girl always prevented her from being impolite.

After the waitress told them to wait for a while. Eiji chuckled at the two girls and said, "I told you not to hesitate to order, right? Don't worry about money."

Xenovia looked happy when she heard this, but Irina shook her head with a smile. "Even though you said that, we don't want to be rude to you, right Xenovia?"

"...." Seeing her brown-haired friend looking at her as if telling her to agree even though she wanted to order more food... She nodded.

Looking at the two heroines in front of him, Eiji nodded mentally because they almost looked like they were in the original work. Especially their appearance which was above average beauty.

Although the two girls looked a bit tomboyish, their figures were a woman's dream and many men must have liked their athletic, slender, yet voluptuous figures with large breasts under their tight black clothes.

Irina has long brown hair tied into a twintail style with violet eyes.

As for Xenovia? She has short chin-length blue hair with green bangs on the right side and deep amber eyes.

In addition to their all-black outfits, there was also a sword hanging from each of their bodies which he knew was the Excalibur Fragment or commonly called the Holy Sword.

There were seven Excalibur Fragments, two of which, Irina held Excalibur Mimic and Xenovia held Excalibur Destruction.

It was the same as the original work.

Eiji could feel the holy power from both swords, but it was small and nothing compared to his Excalibur. Of course, after all, where did his Excalibur come from?

Forgetting that ridiculous statement, he looked at the two and said: "If you don't mind, I'd like to know who you guys are and why you're wearing cosplay outfits? Did you just come back from an event or something?"

For now, he had to feign ignorance. Even refrain from using his inner voice so that his identity would not be revealed as soon as possible.

Hearing a man. No, a handsome young man of the same age as them asking their names.

Xenovia was the first to answer. "My name is Xenovia Quarta. We're not cosplaying, these clothes are actually our battle outfits as exorcists! Also, we came to this town to catch the thief who stole the Excalibur Shard from the church!"

There was pride in her voice as she revealed her identity and generously explained her secret mission.

Irina groaned at the stupidity of her teammates and blue-haired friend. She sighed, but she also felt fine introducing herself honestly to the kind young man who was helping them.

Her favorable impression of the young man in front of her had actually gone up a few points after she actually ordered food and drinks for them for free.

"My name is Irina Shidou. Just like Xenovia, I am also an exorcist and am here to catch the thieves who took the Church's goods."

"Exorcist? Church?" The young man nodded and slightly helped the waitress who was serving food and drinks on the table.

Irina felt that the young man didn't believe what she and Xenovia were saying. And Xenovia also felt the same way, but unlike Irina, she wanted to convince the young man.

"Don't you believe what we're saying? We really are exorcists. You see this sword? It's real!"

The blue-haired girl wanted to show her sword, but the brown-haired girl held her back. "Xenovia! Enough, don't force our benefactor to believe us!"

"What? I'm not forcing. I just wanted to show you how cool my Excalibur is..."

The two girls seemed to be about to fight like cats, but the smell of barbecue on the table made them stop and swallow.

"Don't fight. You guys should eat quietly, okay? And about what you said... Don't worry, I believe in you guys." Eiji said that lightly and started eating while secretly sending the three packs of barbecue he had also ordered to his house using teleportation magic. Who was that for? Of course it was for the girls in his house.

It was under the dining table and the two girls were busy cramming meat into their mouths and it seemed like they also already didn't care whether he believed or not about their identities.

The three of them started eating. Eiji also took the initiative to order more meat which made Xenovia so happy that she wanted to cry and say something like "God will definitely bless you for helping his servant."

"....."

"Um! Um! Not only God. We will also definitely repay your kindness, benefactor-san!"

Irina spoke with her mouth full, she seemed to have fallen in love with a lot of the food on the table and was almost as stupid as her blue-haired friend.

Now the girl didn't even hesitate to order more food like her blue-haired friend; when he offered to add more food.

Fortunately both girls were very pretty. Otherwise, Eiji would definitely not want to look at the two girls who were eating voraciously in front of him.

Speaking of God. Eiji smiled at the two girls who still didn't know that the God they had worshiped all this time was dead and in the near future they would definitely be very surprised.

They will have a mental attack, and at that time...

¶{I don't know why I'm not surprised.}

"Miss System?"

¶{Host, are you really going to drive these girls to the protagonist's house after finishing the meal?}

"Huh? Of course. When have I ever lied?"

¶{.....}

Miss System clearly did not believe it. Judging from her host's greed, there was no way he would actually drive Irina and Xenovia to Issei's house, right?

But the reality slapped her because her host actually did it!

¶{Host, what's wrong with you?}

Ignoring his noisy system.

Not far from Issei's house. After finishing treating two girls to barbecue.

Eiji pointed at a certain house and said to the two girls who looked energetic after eating a lot earlier. "I'm sure that's the house you guys are looking for. Issei lives there."

Looking at a Japanese-style house that wasn't too big or small at the end of the street with lights of course on. Irina who finally felt familiar with Issei's house also nodded happily.

"Yes! That really is my childhood friend's house!"

"Thank you benefactor-san! By the way, what is your name? We must know because in the future we will definitely repay your kindness."

Xenovia nodded in agreement with Irina, even as she said: "Your kindness to God's servants must be repaid in kind."

"If you need our help in the future, we will definitely help you too!"

Eiji smiled at this which made the two girls stare at him in a daze. Because...this young man is too handsome, right?

Even though Irina had a crush on her childhood friend Issei in the past and actually she also still somewhat thought of Issei until now and always wondered if the other party still remembered her when she came to his house? However, now her heart was pounding as she was mesmerized by the young man who said that he went to school with Issei.

Xenovia was the same, although she didn't understand much about love. Right now, she felt somewhat reluctant to part with the white-haired youth in front of her.

Even so, when they heard the young man's name, they were surprised.

"My name? Right, I haven't introduced myself from earlier. My name is Eiji Seiya. By the way here's my business card in case you need my help again in the future."

For some reason the young man even gave his name card to Irina and the girl received it absentmindedly.

"Eiji Seiya? You... Are you..."

"Eiji Seiya? You're the Eiji Seiya who destroyed one of those Churches?"

Unlike Irina who wanted to say about the inner voice, but her voice suddenly disappeared before she finished her words.

Xenovia accidentally passed the censorship because she was discussing a topic other than inner voices.

The blue-haired girl frowned. Irina was the same, they both felt like they were being tricked.

Don't tell me Eiji Seiya intentionally approached them and his previous kindness too...

Seeing the suspicion and caution in the two girls' eyes. Eiji didn't panic, and this was his chance to use his inner voice!

[Destroying the church? What is this girl saying? Wait, is the church she's referring to the church where Asia lived before? Well that was me.]

"!!!"

Xenovia hesitated whether she should use her Excalibur to punish Eiji right now? But Eiji's next inner voice left her dumbfounded and doubting the church itself.

Irina was also not much different from the blue-haired girl.

[Even so, that Church does deserve to be destroyed. Why? Because the people in the Church are involved with devils like Diodora Astaroth and use the Church as a shelter for young girls who will be made nuns and sacrificed to Diodora.]

[If Asia at that time did not have Sacred Gear and had the use to heal people. She would have been locked up in the basement of that Church with the other girls who were dressed up as nuns to satisfy Diodora's disgusting hobbies.]

[Speaking of Diodora Astaroth. Too bad I haven't met him yet. If I do find him... I will definitely destroy him just like I destroyed that Church. By the way, I've also rescued the orphaned young girls held there.]

[The last one I sent to a nearby orphanage with living expenses for two years. So there should be no problem. Only... Why is it that Xenovia, she and Irina seem to know me quite well after I told them my name?]

[These two girls... No, these two heroines were also actually accidentally met by me on the street. Just because I saw that they needed help and their appearance looked rather pitiful. I helped them, and didn't even bother to prevent them from going to the protagonist's house.]

[Tsk... It's none of my business whether the girls want to go into the tiger's den or not. Especially Irina, that girl seems to have a very good impression because in the original work she's Issei's childhood friend.]

[But unfortunately... In the original work she was misunderstood as a boy by Issei and even though I know Issei Regressor wouldn't be as stupid as in the original work].

[Even so, the incident must still be the same. When Irina and Xenovia stayed at Issei's house. Issei who was aroused seeing his childhood friend who was very beautiful and his friend who was no less beautiful].

[He decided to do such a disgusting thing as drugging them to do secretly lewd things to them while they were fast asleep due to the effects of the drug.]

"!!!" This time it was not only Irina and Xenovia. Even the other heroines, they were shocked by what Issei had done in the original work.

They were also surprised that Eiji seemed to have destroyed the Church that had been doing dark things secretly. Compared to Issei who did disgusting things, although Eiji's actions were also excessive, but he at least did it to help others.

But look at the protagonist Issei who became the protagonist in his franchise. He was more disgusting than they thought, even to the point of drugging his own childhood friend to do obscene things.

Although Irina and Xenovia were also surprised to find out they were also heroine and all of the above.

Unlike Xenovia who was disgusted and hesitant to stay at Issei's house, and felt guilty for misunderstanding Eiji. Especially when in addition to his inner voice, the boy also showed evidence from his cell phone of the news about the Church in question.

"If it's about the Church. Is it this one? It was me who did it and of course there was a reason why I did it." Eiji showed his cell phone which displayed a certain article. The article contained details about the Church in the next town over which one night was suddenly struck by a large red lightning bolt until it was destroyed, but only there were no casualties. The next day, the people in the Church suddenly confessed to all their crimes about what evil things they did in the Church such as locking up young girls and so on.

The orphaned young girls themselves had no idea who helped them, but they were now living in an orphanage which made many people on the internet shocked.

Although the information was not widespread, in the neighboring town this incident was quite famous and is still much talked about.

Irina and Xenovia read the article and they didn't know what to say. To be honest as exorcists, they rarely accessed the internet and most of the information they got about the outside world was limited to what heaven gave them.

Heaven or the angelic faction didn't actually know who destroyed the church, but those who could hear the inner voice knew and that was why they misunderstood Eiji.

Irina, especially Xenovia certainly no longer blamed Eiji about the Church. Especially since the boy didn't even kill the people in the church, he only destroyed the Church so that it stopped operating and even saved the orphans.

Irina and Xenovia were not stupid enough to not realize that the one at fault here was actually one of the Churches serving God for daring to conspire with the devil.

Although Irina still had doubts about Issei drugging her because she never thought her childhood friend would be that evil. She at least believed Eiji about what he did to one of the Churches that served God.

"Sorry Eiji-san, it seems we misunderstood all this time."

"Ugh... I'm sorry too. Those people! How dare they betray God by doing evil things with the devil!"

Irina apologized, and Xenovia did the same while cursing the devil rather racially.

Well... although the results were somewhat lacking because Irina still seemed to be planning to go to Issei's house. Eiji wasn't worried. As he had said before, he already had a plan and the next plan he had prepared.

Gosh, he worked pretty hard for this plot.

Someone should reward him.

¶{Don't worry host! Reward is waiting for you! But host, are you sure these two heroine will not go to Issei's house?}

Her system asked him this which he answered. "They will."

¶{???}

Miss System did not understand the elaborate plan her host had put in place to obtain the two exorcist girls.

Instead of preventing them, you let them actually go to Issei's house?

Eiji smiled generously at the two girls and said, "Well at least with this our misunderstanding is resolved. With your identities, I understand why you misunderstood me."

"But may I know how you guys knew it was me who destroyed the Church?"

Now it was his turn to ask and made the two girls nervous.

They were of course even more amazed by Eiji who wasn't even angry at them, and they felt that this time traveler wasn't as bad as they originally thought.

However, when asked where they knew Eiji destroyed the Church. The two looked at each other and wondered should they tell the truth?

Irina tried to tell the truth, but her voice again did not come out like when she was about to say something about the inner voice at the barbecue restaurant earlier.

She finally realized that she couldn't seem to say anything about the inner voice to Eiji!

Xenovia also felt the same way as Irina. Otherwise, with her straightforward and somewhat careless personality, she would divulge her secrets to Eiji, including about his inner voice.

"A-Ah, about that... We-we actually..." Irina thought hard.

"...." Xenovia was silent and didn't know what to say because she couldn't tell the truth. Her voice was censored every time she wanted to say it.

Eiji tried to hold back his laughter. It was honestly quite entertaining to see girls being censored every time they wanted to say something about their inner voice by Miss System.

He rubbed his chin and pretended to guess to help them answer. "Hm... Is it the Church? No, Heaven is telling you this information? If it's them, it's quite plausible."

"Yes! Yes! That, we know from there! Right, Xenovia?"

"Yes... We... We got the information about you from Heaven!"

The two girls agreed to his guess in a hurry.

Eiji nodded at both of them, though he secretly laughed mentally. Pretending to check the clock on his cell phone, he said to the two girls. "Okay, that's it then. It's getting late and I have to rush home."

The two girls seemed a little reluctant to see him leave. But they nodded and said their goodbyes.

Unlike before, this time he didn't even bother to hide that he could use magic and used teleportation magic to leave.

...

Seeing Eiji who had left with teleportation magic, Irina and Xenovia were not too surprised. After all if it was Eiji, they had long known from his inner voice that the boy also had supernatural powers.

Currently, they looked at each other and the blue-haired girl spoke first. "Irina, are you sure you still want us to stay at Issei's house?"

Unlike Irina, Xenovia certainly did not have a favorable impression of Issei because he was the protagonist whose inner voice she had also heard many times over.

She might have misunderstood Eiji before, but what about those protagonists, especially Issei? From his inner voice so far, she was sure that Issei was indeed a pervert who would not hesitate to drug his childhood friend!

Irina also doubted after hearing whatever Eiji said in his inner voice, but somehow she still believed that Issei was not that bad.

Although Eiji wasn't bad either, but she knew that boy had enmity with Issei. Wait, even about Eiji saying that he was Issei's friend back then too. The white-haired boy was obviously lying.

Either because he didn't want to ruin her relationship with Issei or he was lying for something else. She didn't know, but seeing her childhood friend's house not far in front of her eyes...

Irina looked at Xenovia and said, "Xenovia, believe me, okay? Issei isn't really that bad. There's no way he would drug me and you."

"Although he is indeed a pervert, he is a good person. Besides, if we don't stay at Issei's house. Where will we stay?"

Hearing this, Xenovia fell silent. She could only nod at her brown-haired friend as if to say that she agreed with her idea of staying at Issei's house.

Let's give Issei a chance.

Irina was glad that the blue-haired girl had been persuaded.

The two of them walked closer to the house and were about to press the doorbell, but at this moment...

{My childhood friend and her beautiful friend...are coming here? Who else if not... Ah! I remember! Around this time, Irina and Xenovia must have been searching the city of Kuoh for the people who stole the Excalibur Fragment.}

{I also remember that back then, Irina would also visit me for the first time in years. Irina and her friend who I knew must be Xenovia}.

{Hehehe this is such a coincidence! With this medicine.... Since I can't get Rias, Akeno, Asia and the others right now. Why don't I use this anesthetic on those two girls? I don't want to be preceded by Eiji anymore! That bastard always gets ahead of me and I'm sick of it!}

{Hahahaha! So when Irina and Xenovia came again to visit me like in the previous life and asked to stay at my house for a while}.

{Hehe...I'll...after that...hm this is weird, even though I'm excited, why isn't my sword as excited as usual?}

Putting the latter aside, Irina's face froze.

The hand that was about to press the doorbell stopped in midair and drooped.

Xenovia patted the shoulder of the girl who had a mental attack because her childhood friend did not meet her expectations.

She wanted to comfort her, but suddenly remembered something.

"Irina, didn't you receive Eiji's name card earlier? There should be his address listed there. Why don't we go there?"
