Last Crest of Acedia

"Liese, calm down..."

Eiji stretched his hand forward and said to Lieselote who suddenly burst out laughing.

After all, it was his fault for making that woman so jealous that she went crazy.

[Host, stop pretending. You know it's not like that.]

Hmm... Miss System, Lieselote is at least a little jealous. I knew it.

[Host, you're too confident like the protagonist.]

No, don't you see how positive that woman's level is?

Leme.

[That girl's positive level just reached 60, my King.]

"...."

[You see that, host? It's still 5 points short and to be more convincing, you need another 10 points before you become so confident.]

It was only a matter of time... By the way except for a few things, this plot runs almost the same as in the original work.

Previously it was not for no reason that Eiji let Lieselote escape because he knew she would come to school.

Compared to the other members of Trinity Seven. Lieselote was the most ambitious woman.

Even after she stole a small part of Eiji's magic, she was still not satisfied and wanted to steal the magic of everyone in the school.

"Calm? Eiji-kun, I'm very calm." Lieselote stopped laughing and said with a flirtatious smile on her face. "I admit that my current situation is not so favorable. Especially you, Eiji-kun. After I stole your magic in the Eternal Library, you were fine... Not only is your magic extremely delicious and stronger than the Magic King's Elements. The amount of your magic is also too much for me to absorb in one try."

"So can I absorb it again? Of course, in the same way as before."

Lieselote asked while licking her lips. If she got more magic from Eiji, she would still have a chance to defeat the strong men who destroyed her entire troop.

Arata looked at Eiji with envy.

What about him? He has the Magic King Element.

Ah but Lieselote said Eiji's magic was stronger than his Magic King Element.

Now Arata felt that his Magic King Element was no longer fragrant.

Eiji smiled slightly. A normal person would have refused, but him?

"Why not? I have so much magic power that I often don't know how I should spend it. I'd be happy if there was a pretty girl to help me absorb it."

"Eijii!"

A girl shouted with a blush of anger and embarrassment on her face.

Who else if not Lilith? That girl loved shouting his name.

There's a saying that if a woman except for your family members often calls out your name. That woman probably likes you.

[I've never heard that saying.]

"What's wrong, Lilith?" Eiji looked at Lilith in confusion. He ignored Miss System.

"Lilith-sensei, please don't disturb my meal time with Eiji-kun. Are you jealous?" Lieselote also teased the red-haired girl.

"...." The others fell silent.

The situation had become less tense.

They saw Lilith clenching her fists with an increasingly obvious blush on her face.

"J-Jealous? I'm jealous? Liese-san, don't slander your teacher! Could you two be more serious?!"

Lilith was almost going crazy so her large breasts were rising and falling due to her movements.

Arata saw the scene.

But it was not like usual where he would appreciate such a sight. Now he felt anxious.

More precisely he had a bad feeling when he saw Lilith blushing whenever she heard or saw things related to Eiji.

"Darling... Lilith's right, why don't you get a little serious?" Rias said to her fiancé. She did so while tugging gently on the man's ear.

It made the two appear to be flirting with each other and spreading dog food to the audience.

Lieselote frowned.

She felt that the girl who was sexier than her and had the same hair color as Lilith-sensei was deliberately showing off her intimacy with Eiji in front of everyone.

Even more so.

That girl probably did it on purpose to piss her off!

[Rias: Girl, you seem to understand? You're pretty smart.]

[Sona: Rias, what are you playing at?]

[Rias: I'm just teasing our future sister.]

[Mai: How did you do it?]

[Rias: Making her feel green.]

The women in the group chat fell silent. Was it just them or was Rias starting to look more and more like Eiji?

[Lala ✓: Rias. Don't overdo it, okay? It would be bad if our future sister holds a grudge against you because of what you did.]

Lala sounded worried about Rias. What was said made many women in the group chat think positively of her.

Many of them thought "As expected of Lala."

Rias also thought that way. But she felt Lala was bossing her around with the tone of a senior.

The pink-haired girl wasn't showing off her status as Eiji's first fiancée and saying nice things to gain the affection of everyone in the group chat, right?

Was that intentional?

Rias wasn't sure... Of all the women in Eiji's harem, she couldn't guess what Lala was thinking.

That girl was like the final boss in the game which made her a little annoyed.

[Rias: Don't worry, Lala. I know.]

[Lala ✓: That's good, Rias~!]

Eiji didn't know whether or not Lala was intentionally stepping on Rias' head subtly in the group chat.

He pretended to be in pain and said, "Ouch, Rias. Alright, alright... I'm going to be a little serious. Stop pulling my ears, okay?"

"Okay. Does it hurt?"

"A little."

Rias released Eiji's ear and blew into it as if trying to relieve his pain with her flowery breath.

Eiji happily accepted the service while enjoying the expressions of the people watching. .

Especially Arata, the boy was seen biting his finger.

[Protagonist, control yourself! Don't be jealous of me, you too will have a beautiful girl blowing your ears in the future. Let me try to remember... Is there such a plot in the original work?]

[Ah there doesn't seem to be. Although Arata is the protagonist of the harem. At most he only received a kiss from the heroine. His relationship with the girls in Trinity Seven is still not even clear.]

[Although the manga already has more than 100 chapters.]

[Even so, don't worry, Arata! Maybe... Maybe you'll have one too. Well I'm not sure.]

You're not sure?!

Are you actually trying to calm Arata down or are you mocking him in your heart?

The heroines didn't know which was true.

But considering what happened to the protagonists before, it was most likely the latter.

Lilith didn't know what to say.

As for Lieselote? She roughly knew from Eiji's point of view, Arata was the protagonist of this world.

She and the other Trinity Seven members were the heroines of a manga.

Lieselote was a little surprised. It made her doubt the reality of this world and the people who lived in it.

But being a mage, she quickly calmed down. In the world of mages, things outside of common sense were normal. Besides, Lieselote remembered Eiji was from another world and the red-haired girl beside her and those people were probably the same.

Most likely what Eiji said in his heart was true. After all, the man didn't seem to realize his inner voice had been heard by her.

Lieselote did not think much of this. When everyone's attention was on Eiji and Rias, she quietly activated her Logos Art magic.

"Onee-chan, stop!" Selina was the first to cry out as she noticed the magic circle around her sister's body.

"Tsk! Liese, you're sneaky. I won't let you finish!"

Akio moved very fast. With the magic from Gula's previous archive still active today. She lunged at Lieselote and unleashed a flying kick to the girl's head.

**Bang!!!**

However, the kick that should have been able to destroy the entire floor of the building was held back by a transparent black barrier.

Akio was shocked, she could not retract her foot because now she was frozen in the air after touching the barrier.

"I-It's..."

Mira and the others in her group looked at Lieselote seriously.

Inside the barrier, Lieselote looked fine.

She smiled wickedly at everyone.

"Selina, Akio. You guys are late. Under normal circumstances I might not have been able to defeat you all because of the existence of Eiji and the people who destroyed my devil army."

"But only if..."

*Tok tok tok*

Lieselote did not finish her villain dialog because someone tapped on her barrier casually.

It was Rias who tapped the barrier with her finger. Unlike Akio, she looked fine.

"You, what are you doing?" Lieselote looked at the girl who reminded her of Lilith with annoyance.

How dare she interrupt her while she was speaking? That was rude.

However, she was wary because the girl did not freeze when touching her time barrier!

Even so, as long as she completed her magic calculations...

Lieselote was sure this girl would also be as helpless as Akio.

"I'm just a little curious about your magic barrier defense. You're called Liese, right? I'm Rias Gremory, Eiji's fiancée."

Rias said with a friendly smile.

In Lieselote's eyes, that smile seemed to mock her which made her lips twitch.

And what was wrong with being Eiji's fiancée? She was sure the girl had emphasized the words 'Eiji's fiancée' on purpose!

"Oh? I see. You-"

"Rias, you're rude. How can you interrupt Liese's words?"

Eiji interrupted Lieselote.

[You told me to be a little serious. But what are you doing? You interrupted Liese's villain's words just to introduce yourself, Rias.]

Rias rolled her eyes.

Okay, this is indeed her fault.

However, Eiji. You yourself just interrupted the girl you were referring to.

She looked at her fiancé and said, "My fault."

Then looked at Lieselote. "Liese, you can continue."

"...." Lieselote.

"Liese, there's a saying from my country that says everyone should finish what they've started. Come on, we'll be waiting for you."

Eiji also added his words of wisdom which left everyone speechless. Even Akeno, Xenovia, Zekka and the others who had just caught up to their location after finishing slaughtering all the devils in the school were silent.

They decided to watch from a distance.

"Wait! We can't let Liese-san finish casting her magic! She seems to be using forbidden magic!"

Mira could not keep quiet when she heard what the two people who were not taking the situation seriously were saying.

Roughly speaking, she knew what Lieselote was trying to do was different from the Logos Art magic she was used to.

That black magic circle with the help of numbers looked extremely complicated.

No wonder it took her quite some time to release the magic.

Now the girl had just completed half of her magic casting which left her isolated by a time barrier capable of stopping Akio's serious kicks.

If they let her finish her magic...

Who knew what would appear.

Whatever it was, it was definitely scarier than the time barrier!

"Ahahaha! Compared to these two, your reaction makes me happier... Mira-senpai."

"...." Eiji and Rias.

Liese who previously looked rather depressed for not being taken seriously by Eiji and Rias smiled in relief.

Fortunately there were still people who knew the prowess of the magic she was going to use.

"Your guess is right. What I'm using is forbidden magic! More precisely lost techniques from the Acedia archives. And now, all of you are really too late to stop me."

"Liese-san, don't...!"

"Onee-chan!"

Lilith and Selina also realized what Lieselote might be doing.

The Lost technique was definitely not ordinary magic.

It was a super high-risk magic that could even endanger its user.

However, Lieselote ignored Lilith and her little sister's worried cries.

Although Lieselote hesitated slightly when she saw Selina's concern for her, she hardened her heart.

The wings on her back disappeared. Indeed, they were only there to fly and show off.

Her tablet-shaped Gremoir suddenly appeared in her hand.

"Connecting to the <Acedia > archive"

"Executing my theme!"

Right after Lieselote said that. The magic barrier that enveloped her widened until it covered the entire world.

Time inside the barrier slowed down until everything seemed to freeze.

The surroundings became pitch black.

All objects and living things whose time was slowed down by a thousand times had white lines showing their shapes.

"Wh-What's going on?!"

Looking at Lilith and the other Trinity Seven members who seemed to have stopped moving in this dark environment.

Arata shouted in panic.

He was also confused as to why he could still move.

{We have been dragged into an extremely high-speed world. All objects and living things within the range of that girl's magic are moving very slowly.}

Hearing what Astil Manuscript said.

Arata opened and closed his mouth.

Lieselote glanced at Arata because she was too noisy to ignore. "You're not frozen? Hehe that must be because of the Magic King Element inside you. I want to steal your magic too, but before that..."

Unlike in the original work. Lieselote was not so interested in the Magic King Element inside Arata's body.

She vigorously turned her head towards Eiji!

Because the time from her and Arata's perspective slowed down. Lieselote who was annoyed at Rias had a crazy idea.

Not only for Eiji's magic.

Didn't the red-haired girl deliberately call Eiji her fiancé in front of her?

Heh! Then I'll kiss your fiancé hard in front of you.

Lieselote was happy thinking about the green hat she was going to give Rias.

But when she turned around, she was stunned...

Arata also only realized it because he was too focused on Lilith and the Trinity Seven members.

Besides that. Eiji, Rias and some of the people in his group didn't panic like he did.

"No way! M-Why are you guys moving too?!"

Lieselote shouted. Arata was a special case because he had the Magic King Element inside his body.

Although it was not as powerful as Eiji's magic. Lieselote knew the element had a higher resistance to time magic.

Of course, Lieselote could freeze Arata like the others as long as she put in the extra effort.

But put that aside.

She hadn't expected Eiji and even some of the people in her group to be unaffected by her magic!

You know, this isn't just any magic.

This is...

"So this is the so-called Last Crest."

Eiji said while ignoring Lieselote's question. He was busy poking Lilith's cheek with his finger.

The frozen Lilith didn't notice at all.

It looked cute. Somewhat similar to the abilities of some hentai protagonists he had read about in his previous life.

Although Eiji also had the ability to create a similar effect.

He had never tried it.

Lieselote made him see a new world. Ahem, this is good. Unfortunately there were too many people watching here.

"Eiji, stop touching Lilith like that!" Arata couldn't keep quiet when he saw Eiji harassing Lilith.

He was a little angry and envious at the same time.

Maybe he should try it too? As a cultured man, he certainly had dreamed of having the ability to stop time.

Just when Arata was thinking like that. His body and gremoir froze like the others.

It was not Lieselote who did it but Eiji who had just glanced at the boy with his red eyes.

This made Lieselote realize Eiji could manipulate time in this place.

And he did it with just his glance?!

Lieselote knew Eiji had very strong magic power. But she didn't expect him to have the ability to manipulate time to this degree?

Lieselote swallowed.

She realized that she had previously underestimated Eiji too much.

"Last Crest? What is it, Eiji?"

The walking Mio who approached from behind asked. Not only her. Rias, Akeno, Irina, Xenovia, Koneko, Yuki, Maria, Kurumi and Celis could also move inside the ultra-high-speed world that Lieselote had created.

Actually, it wasn't created.

Rather, Lieselote's magic brought them all into that world.

If it wasn't for their powers and Master-Servant Eiji's contract which was an extra layer protecting them.

Devils as powerful as Rias and Mio might still be able to move normally in the ultra-high-speed world. But Akeno and the other girls were different. They all had to work out more with Eiji so they could become immune to Lieselote's Last Crest.

"That's how people in this world summon magic or high-risk techniques in an Archive. In Acedia's archives, this technique is called <Baal Peor> which was designed by a man... I don't remember what his name was."

This man had a poor memory in remembering other men's names!

Mio, Rias and the other girls in Eiji's group were used to it.

Either Eiji had completely forgotten or he was too lazy to remember.

But whatever it was. Lieselote was so surprised that she took a step back from the group. She was starting to feel a little afraid of Eiji because that guy knew!

He knew the origin of the magic she was using, right?

Even though he was from another world that was basically another universe...

Is this the power of knowledge of the original work?

"Liese, what's that guy's name? You should know."

"I-It's Phytagoras. He's a mage known as the inventor of the Logos technique that I often use."

Liese answered Eiji's question as he and the girls stared at her.

"Ohh..." The girls nodded. Actually they were not too interested in knowing.

The only thing they were curious about was...
