181 Little villain talks too much? Sla... Wait, let him finish talking, he's a bit useful.

"Eiji, what's wrong?"

Lala saw that Eiji was silent and did not join their conversation even though there were two beautiful women joining in. If it was the usual Eiji, he would definitely be excited to see beautiful women like Yami and Tearju happen to meet them.

Yami and Tearju also glanced at Eiji.

Eiji smiled. "Nothing, it's just that in a while we have to prepare."

"Prepare? Prepare for what, Eiji-san?"

Eiji didn't answer Tearju's question, he just stared around with a noisy inner voice.

[There's really no need to worry because with me here, no one can hurt you guys.]

"....?" While Tearju and Lala were confused.

Yami who was an assassin was certainly sensitive to the intention of killing someone. Although her reaction was a bit slower than Eiji's, she sensed someone watching them from a distance excessively. She stopped eating her Taiyaki and looked around with natural movements because she didn't want to let the other party know she was aware of his existence.

At least wait until the other party attacked and she would make a surprising counterattack then.

Yami also seemed to realize something, Eiji looked at the girl with a funny look. Not long after, someone from the food stall approached them.

"Youngsters, are you interested in trying my grilled squid? It tastes very good."

From his clothes, he looked like a shopkeeper from one of the food stalls at the festival with a few stilted squid skewers in his hand.

Lala naturally stared at the grilled squid in the man's hands with a twinkle in her eyes. She and Eiji had traveled around to try various foods and snacks at the festival, but she had never tried grilled squid.

"Eiji, Eiji! Can I try one?" Lala tugged on the hem of Eiji's shirt and asked cutely.

"Sure. What about Tearju and Yami, do you two want some too? I'll treat you guys."

"Eh... Eiji-san, no. You don't need to bother. I don't want it."

Tearju politely declined, not just because she didn't want to trouble Eiji even if it was a small thing. Actually she didn't like seafood either, so she was interested in grilled squid.

Yami on the other hand observed the shopkeeper who smiled kindly at them, she turned her gaze to Eiji and shook her blonde head.

"No."

Hearing what the girls said, Eiji looked at the shopkeeper and said: "Sorry sir, unfortunately none of us are interested."

"Yes? But Ojou-chan over there seems to want to try one. Young man, isn't that your girlfriend? You should buy her one. This grilled squid is also cheap, only 100 yen... No, I'll sell it for 50 yen for your little girlfriend."

The Ojou-chan in question was of course Lala. While Lala was confused because Eiji seemed to have no intention of buying her grilled squid even though he was not short of money.

Eiji rolled his eyes, he saw the shopkeeper walking closer towards them. When the distance between them and the shopkeeper was less than a meter, they saw the shopkeeper grinning.

"Gotcha!"

Numerous spider webs exploded from the shopkeeper's body, the spider webs were thick and glistened with a poisonous green light. Lala and Tearju widened their eyes when they saw this. Right from the start Yami had suspected that this shopkeeper was unusual, her blonde hair immediately turned into a giant hand, she wanted to take Lala, Tearju, and even Eiji to jump back with her so that they could avoid the enemy's attack.

Although Eiji was the target she had to kill, after monitoring him so far. Yami didn't say it, but she thanked Eiji for saving Tearju. Tearju had told her how she had arrived on earth not long ago, so she also knew now that woman was staying at Eiji's house.

However, perhaps because of the reflex to save people she knew, she had forgotten who Eiji was. Who? That ecchi man who had beaten her and slapped her ass!

Eiji was basically strong because he could beat her so he definitely didn't need her help!

And she was right.

Before she reached out to everyone with her hair, she saw Eiji extend one hand forward, his pupils changing, having many circles and strange patterns in them before he muttered.

"Almighty Push."

Repulsive force exploded from Eiji's body, Yami could feel the strange energy that formed a shield around them. The energy did not hurt them, but the 'Shopkeeper' and his spider web were blown so far back.

His body flew like a cannonball and embedded itself in the shrine wall, creating spiderweb-like cracks and a loud explosion sound.

As the festival was also near the shrine, the people who heard the commotion naturally panicked.

"Mother! What's that? Someone got stuck in the wall!"

"Kyaa! Is he dead?"

"What happened? W-Wait, I saw that person let out a lot of spider webs from his body."

"Run! He doesn't seem human!"

The people at the festival stared at the 'Shopkeeper' who was seen moving and detaching himself from the wall with a hideous face. In addition to the green blood coming out of his mouth and the spider webs falling around him. There were fangs sticking out of his mouth and eyes glowing with red light.

Seen from any angle, he doesn't look human!

So run!

Quickly run away from here!

"Eiji, that... That shopkeeper is an alien." Lala ignored the people running around, she stared at her fiancé in shock and awe.

She didn't expect that the friendly shopkeeper was actually an alien disguised as a human. She certainly realized from Eiji's inner voice earlier that there seemed to be someone who wanted to find trouble with them. But she herself couldn't detect that the shopkeeper was actually an alien! She was almost fooled!

Fortunately her fiancée was very strong and reliable, even in the face of a surprise attack, she only needed to raise one hand and instantly the alien was blown tens of meters back.

With Eiji by her side, Lala was not afraid, she felt safe and naturally did not panic seeing that the alien seemed to be alive and glaring at them with killing intent.

"Yes, it might have something to do with you Lala. He seems to have been sent by someone." Eiji said with his pupils returning to normal and he felt familiar with the appearance of the humanoid alien that could shoot spider webs.

"You mean that alien assassin sent again by my suitors?" Lala frowned, she was smart and immediately understood it must have something to do with the suitors she had rejected.

"Ranjula, it's you." Yami who had seen the true form of the 'Shopkeeper' mentioned a name. Her hair was on standby, many of her strands turned into sharp knives that floated in the air.

Tearju felt sad, she was uncomfortable seeing Yami now looking like an assassin and she also seemed to recognize the other assassins. Tearju was like a mother who saw her daughter hanging out with bad kids.

However, she put that aside for now and looked at Ranjula warily. It was unfortunate that she was not carrying a weapon at the moment, but as a former scientist in Black Cat, she was not so weak either. Although not as strong as Yami and Eiji, she was stronger than ordinary humans and had decent hand-to-hand fighting skills.

[Ranjula? Isn't that the name of one of the little villains in the To Love Ru franchise? This person must have been sent by the same person who sent Yami to Earth.]

[It's her co-worker after all, it's only natural that Yami would recognize him too. So in total Lacospo sent two famous assassins to kill me.]

Lacospo!

Lala remembered this was the name of one of her craziest suitors who repeatedly tried to propose to her for marriage. She of course always rejected him because she didn't like him. Lacospo was so ugly, he was short and always looked at her with a perverted gaze that made her who usually didn't hate people hate people for the first time.

"Hehehe I underestimated you Eiji Seiya, princess Lala's fiance. And you, Golden Darkness. What are you doing? Eiji Seiya is also your target, why don't you help me kill him?"

Ranjula jumped from tens of meters away and landed about 10 meters away from Eiji and the others. He was obviously still injured by Eiji's previous attack, but he did not give up and felt he still had a chance to kill princess Lala's fiancé as ordered by his employer, Locospo.

There was also Golden Darkness, he didn't know what the girl was doing talking amiably with her target since he was monitoring her from earlier. He thought Golden Darkness was betraying and forgetting her mission, but there was also a part of him that thought Golden Darkness was just acting in front of her target and would agree to help him kill Eiji Seiya.

Lala and Tearju looked at Yami anxiously, they just remembered Yami was originally sent to earth because she was hired by Lacospo to kill Eiji.

They wondered if Yami would help Ranjula to kill Eiji?

But unlike them, Eiji wasn't worried about Yami in this situation. Even if the two joined forces, needless to say he would still come out victorious. So he looked at Ranjula who was still confidently fighting him with amusement. This guy obviously didn't know he was holding back on the previous attack. After all what he used earlier was one of Rinnegan's abilities.

Almighty Push.

With his current power, Eiji could actually use this ability to wipe out cities or even countries and planets by pushing all existence around him including living beings and objects to the extreme. He can also choose what will be affected and not affected by this ability as he did with Lala, Yami, and Tearju who were not pushed by him.

In the original work, one of the villains used this ability to wipe out the protagonist's village which was tens of kilometers wide.

He, Eiji could have done more than that. It's just that he refrained because he wanted to confirm the identity of the little villain. Once he knew it was Ranjula, he wanted to give the little villain a chance to blab and see what Yami would choose.

Join Ranjula to kill him or protect him like she did the protagonist Rito in the original work?

Yami certainly felt Lala and Tearju's worried gazes on her. She even felt that ecchi man, Eiji staring at her as if curious about her answer.

Yami felt a little awkward, after all he was originally the same as Ranjula who came to earth to kill Eiji.

But now...

Faced with Ranjula's offer to work together.

She refused.

"No. Ranjula, you should not interfere in this mission. You should leave." Yami said indifferently.

Ranjula's expression became very cold, he sneered and said: "Golden Darkness, you are unreasonable. I was also hired on this mission, you have no right to tell me to stop. Also, compared to me, you failed to complete your mission. I see you have a good relationship with your own target."

"Golden Darkness, as a fellow assassin, I am disappointed in you."

"Who has a good relationship with him? I was just monitoring him and ascertaining whether Eiji Seiya was a target that really needed to be killed or not."

Yami was still expressionless, but if you looked at her face closely, you would see a small blush on her cheeks. Actually, she suddenly remembered the memory of Eiji slapping her ass many times.

I don't know why remembering that perverted thing in this situation, but it must be Eiji's fault for being too ecchi!

[Tsundere~ Why are there so many tsundere girls in this franchise? Yui, one. Nana, one. And now you, Yami. Is it hard to admit that you like me?]

Who likes you?!

You're so narcissistic!

Yami glanced at Eiji who was putting on a flatly serious face. I wanted to turn my hair into a fist and punch that man in the face. But I restrained myself, now was not the right time for that.

Lala and Tearju let out a sigh of relief. Although they heard Yami hadn't completely given up on killing Eiji, they knew the girl was just as tsundere as Eiji said she was.

Tearju was glad that her daughter disagreed with Ranjula, if she really did. She herself would have stopped her daughter because she didn't want the girl to really become Eiji's enemy. Aside from the fact that she was indebted to Eiji and he was her benefactor, she knew Eve could not defeat Eiji.

Eve was indeed the best masterpiece she had created, but compared to the likes of Eiji who had slapped down many protagonists. Tearju knew Eve's power was far behind that man, so instead of her being his enemy, she was better off being his friend.

Unfortunately Tearju didn't know what Eiji thought of her and her daughter. If she knew, what should she do? After all, the man wasn't satisfied with just being friends. What was a friend? Was it edible?

"Monitoring? Golden Darkness, I don't think you understand. Our employer clearly paid us to kill Eiji Seiya for his personal gain."

Ranjula gave Yami a contemptuous look. "You are a professional assassin. Many people have been killed by you and your hands are no longer clean. But what do I see now? I didn't expect the Golden Darkness to be so gentle with its own target."

Yami frowned, she normally wouldn't care about people's insults. Well, if she was annoyed she would kill that person. But now? There was Tearju standing not far from her, she was actually hesitant to show her cruel side and could not reply to what Ranjula said.

At this moment, someone clapped their hands.

Everyone naturally turned their heads.

It was Eiji.

He walked forward and stopped beside Yami.

His gaze fixed on Ranjula, he smiled and said:

"Well that's enough. For a little villain, you've already said too much."

"Little villain? Eiji Seiya, you called me..." Ranjula felt humiliated, he knew Eiji was strong for being able to hurt him. But he hadn't lost yet and he wasn't that weak to be called a little villain!

If before he wanted to kill Eiji because of the mission, he now really wanted to kill Eiji because he dared to insult him.

He spread both his hands and many spider webs exploded into the sky to cover many buildings around him and all of them moved like his own hands and feet to kill Eiji. Not only Eiji, he also actually wanted to kill Golden Darkness, the blonde woman and capture Princess Lala to bring to his employer in one fell swoop.

He grinned and wanted to see the look of fear on Eiji Seiya's face. Unlike before, this time he pulled out all his power to use his poisonous net.

But when he looked at Eiji's face, he only saw the other party's indifferent expression and strange eyes that made him freeze. Not knowing why, when staring at the eyes patterned with ripples and freckles that slightly glowed with blue light. He was terrified, his body shivered involuntarily, and a chill crept up his entire body.

What kind of eyes were those?!

Kill! He had to kill Eiji Seiya immediately before he did anything!

The previously scattered spider webs now only targeted Eiji. They all morphed into needles ready to stab people to death.

But it was too late, unlike before where Eiji raised one of his hands to attack. This time Eiji didn't even move and just stared at Ranjula who stood not far in front of his eyes.

"Heavenly Illumination."
