156 Masked man

Under the afternoon sky and the trees at the school.

After successfully becoming "friends" with the protagonist Basara this morning.

Now the school hours are over.

The students have packed up and gone home except for those who still have club activities.

On the way to the school gate.

A silver-haired boy walked with many beautiful girls around him while ignoring the envious, jealous, admiring, etc stares of the other students who were walking home.

Rias took the initiative to hug one of Eiji's arms and said: "Eiji, you didn't forget, did you?"

Eiji looked at the red-haired girl, he was already used to the softness pressing his hand, so he didn't react much and said: "I remember. This afternoon the event where many devils gather for tea will start, right?"

Rias pursed her lips, but it wasn't wrong, just a little untrue. "Although it's not wrong, it's not just drinking tea, okay?"

"Okay I know, I'll come with you later."

[In the original work, I remember Sirzechs would later suggest the young devil heirs to compete against each other in the Rating Game. It was a kind of friendly competition to increase the power of the young devils and they had to wait again for a week before the competition was held.]

[In the end, the only important point in the show was the announcement of the Rating Game to be held in the future, it was so boring. And Rias, you and Sona are very strong now. So in the plot of the Rating Game, I'm sure no one can be your opponent unless you compete against each other.]

[Actually, can I not come? I have other things to do, there's a heroine I have to save from the fire pit called the protagonist.]

Although Eiji was reluctant, on the surface he agreed to join the event. He seemed like a man who didn't want to make his woman sad because he didn't want to go where she wanted to go.

But the heroines who heard this, especially Rias. She widened her eyes slightly, so that was the plot that would happen in the Youth Devil Gathering? Well actually she had heard this from Eiji before. She also didn't really force Eiji to come, she just wanted him to come with her so she could show off and introduce her fiancé to the other young devil heirs.

She herself became less interested when she heard what actually happened in the event.

With the power of her and Sona now, it was a bit arrogant, but she was confident among the other young devil heirs. She and Sona were undoubtedly the strongest because their own power was actually no worse than the Four Great Satan.

This was unconfirmed of course, but Rias felt that way, especially after her power was enhanced again through her Master-Servant contract with Eiji.

If previously Rias could defeat Kokabiel with less than five moves in her black knight mode, then now she could kill the fallen angel with a snap of her fingers and the power of destruction would immediately explode the other party's body without leaving anything behind.

Rias was too OP now.

So is Sona who has no idea what she can do with her water manipulation. Her current league is definitely no worse than her older sister.

"This event is actually not mandatory for you to attend, Dear. You don't have to come if you have other important things to do."

The one who said that was not Rias, but Sona who was also walking on the other side at a close distance. Just like the others, she was also holding a school bag in her hand. Tsubaki and the rest of the student council had gone home first.

Knowing that Rias, Akeno and the others were already living in her fiance's house. She also decided to move into her fiance's house so as not to be left behind by the others.

So she went home with them.

Fortunately there were still many empty rooms in Eiji's house, so adding one more woman living in his house was not a problem.

"How do you know I have important things to do?" Eiji asked, he pretended to be confused of course.

Sona smiled, her violet eyes flashing with a flirtatious light. "What do you think? Maybe I just understand my fiancé too much."

[Understand me? Sona, you're so good! As expected of you!]

"Eiji! Me too, I actually want to say the same thing as Sona."

Rias actually still wanted Eiji to come along, but Sona said good things and if she didn't do it too. She was worried that her position in the harem would be under that girl.

After all even though she was already one of Eiji's women, she knew she still had to compete with the other women in his harem to be the best in that man's heart.

So she had to swallow her selfishness in order to get more affection points from Eiji!

[Rias, you're also just as good as Sona! Don't worry, in the near future, I'll definitely give you another beautiful sisters to play with.]

"Is that alright? I don't want you guys to be sad if I don't come." Eiji asked with a hint of surprise and worry on his face.

Rias and Sona rolled their eyes. Not just them, but Yui, Haruna, Run, Akeno, and even Asia did. Only Lala was excited by the idea of more sisters.

It would honestly be better if this man stopped looking for more sisters for them.

But they knew, Eiji had a task that required him to save the heroines from the hands of the protagonists.

They didn't know the details, but that was what they understood so far after getting to know each other.

All the women in Eiji's harem were heroine who had at least once been helped by the man from having a bad fate like in the original work.

And after they were helped by him, they couldn't help but fall in love with him and willingly joined his harem.

There is almost no difference between Eiji and the harem protagonists and perverts except that he looks more handsome and is at least very kind to them.

It was probably true what was said on the internet. When a woman falls in love, their IQ drops to negative numbers and they will be blind to all the flaws their loved one has.

Feeling the heroines' flat gazes that gradually became soft as they looked at him, Eiji felt a little guilty, but he quickly brushed off the feeling and planned to forge ahead on the path of a harem protagonist.

There was no turning back.

"I'm not sad, it's just a party for the devils."

"Sona's right, once we get back from there. That doesn't mean we can't play with our fiancé at home." Rias narrowed her eyes, her red lips forming a thin curve. "Of course... Someone should give us a little compensation for not keeping the promise."

"Rias, you..." Sona and the other girls stared at the red-haired girl licking her lips.

Akeno giggled. "Ara Ara. Buchou, can I come too?"

"Of course Akeno."

"Me too! Me too! Rias, I want to come!"

"Wawawa, Rias-san, Akeno-san... I-I too..."

"Hmph! You guys are immoral, we're still on the road, stop saying perverted things!"

"But Yui, you are also welcome to join."

"I-It's... Well if you insist then..."

[Yui, how could you agree so easily to blackmail me with those girls tonight? Your tsundere character is much weaker than usual! Damn, Sona, you won't be as cruel as Rias, right? You understand me. At least not tonight, okay? Sometimes I also want to have a normal sleep like usual. It's been a while since I did that.]

Yui's face flushed, she snorted. But the more reluctant Eiji was the more she wanted to squeeze the boy dry with the other girls tonight.

Although she was the head of moral discipline, her gaze often glanced at Eiji's crotch. Having tasted the forbidden fruit several times, it would be a lie if she wasn't addicted to it.

The other girls who used to be pure were the same, they stared at Eiji as if they couldn't wait to eat him.

Female hooligans! Since when did these innocent, naive, kind, intelligent and arrogant heroines become like this?!

Miss System?

¶{Isn't that great? Many men will want to take your place.}

'Including protagonists?

¶{Yes so stop being hypocritical and just enjoy it.}

His system didn't help either, Eiji could only stare at Sona with an expectant gaze. As long as the girl spoke with her student council president aura, she could silence the girls.

However, when looking at her, Sona only smiled gently with a sadistic light in her eyes. "Dear, that's what they say. So tonight you must be ready to be punished."

"Don't worry, we'll be gentle."

Horrible!

These heroines are horrible!

But instead of being scared, Eiji was actually a little excited.

Even so Eiji smiled wryly, sometimes he wanted to slap himself when he remembered the moment when he often said he was not a herbivorous protagonist, there was no way he refused to eat meat.

But after tasting so much meat, he also sometimes missed sleeping alone at night.

After Rias, Sona, Lala and the others went home first and left him in front of the school gate.

As he said, it was true that he chose important things to do regarding the protagonist and heroine.

According to the original work Basara and Yuki should have been talking about something at the cafe. There were also two other heroine eavesdropping on their conversation.

Eiji who was already "friends" with the protagonist had a good reason to show up, say hello, and join them without attracting hostility from heroine like Yuki.

Then...

Eiji had some ideas in his mind, but at this moment he also felt an existence that was monitoring the protagonist and heroine from a distance like himself.

Unlike him who was walking towards the cafe leisurely through the alley, the other party was standing tall on top of the building.

That person was wearing a black suit and a white mask with golden designs.

Their gazes met each other, there was murderous intent radiating in the violet eyes hidden behind his mask as he watched her approach the protagonist's location.

Swoosh!

The wind blew behind Eiji, the masked man had suddenly appeared behind him very quickly and seemed to be planning to finish him off in the alley in one fell swoop.

The atmosphere around also became strange, very quiet as if there was a barrier separating them from the real world.

Interesting, for a mid-level villain character. This level of power is enough to suppress the protagonist Basara in the early stages if the villain is not stupid and hesitant to finish off the protagonist like in the original work.

As the knife-like hand glowing with purple light was about to stab his heart from behind, Eiji smiled indifferently.

"It's very rude to attack someone from behind."

Bang!

Catching the other party's wrist with one hand, Eiji used his other hand to punch the man's face behind the mask.

The man's mask shattered of course, how could that fragile thing withstand his fist?

Seeing the bloody face, the broken nose, the familiar face behind the mask, Eiji only smiled slightly, releasing the other party's hand from his grasp. Actually if he hadn't held his hand as he punched him, the man would have been thrown very far and it would have been quite troublesome to chase after him.

"Right, Yahiro?"

That man, Yahiro Takigawa, or so was his fake name. He immediately jumped back in panic while holding his dizzy head.

To be honest the first time he felt Eiji's fist on his head, he had the illusion that his head would explode like a watermelon.

That made his instantly realize the power gap between him and Eiji, he felt so close to death that a feeling of fear and coldness spread through his heart.

He panicked, but pretended to be calm.

"Yo Eiji. I think you misunderstood, I admit I'm not an ordinary person. I attacked you just to test you. So let's not continue this matter, okay?"

Yahiro who knew his face was revealed, he thought he could use the face of "Yahiro" to make Eiji stop and not continue this matter. After all, this morning they had just gotten acquainted and could be considered friends, right? He also knew Eiji was strong from the news he got from the underworld. A man who has two famous devil heiresses such as Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory as his fiancée. As a demon, he also certainly knew about the things that happened in the underworld.

Even so, because he felt Eiji would be a big obstacle in his plan, especially when he walked up to Basara, Yuki, and the other two girls at the cafe. He still underestimated Eiji's strength and thought he could kill him with a surprise attack.

However, what happened in the end? He failed... His broken nose and throbbing head hurt, but Yahiro tried to smile raising his hand to Eiji as a sign that he was giving up.

Of course, that was only temporary. After he managed to escape, he would have to think of another plan to deal with Eiji.

But would Eiji just let him go?

"End this matter just like that? Yahiro... No, Lars. Are you stupid? You said you were testing me? I can't believe it, you clearly attacked me with murderous intent beforehand." Eiji said with a red lightning that vaguely began to envelop him like an electric eel. His originally blue pupils were also now glowing with the same red color as the lightning dancing on his body.

His indifferent gaze began to grow colder so that Lars' gaze which shrank in surprise his true identity was known, but it was nothing compared to the pressure Eiji exuded which he thought was much stronger than the Demon King who was ready to kill people.

Damn!

At this point, Lars who knew he was no match for Eiji, he wanted to escape, he created hundreds of colorful magic balls in the air using his magic. All those magic balls immediately attacked Eiji like a hail of bullets.

He originally thought of running away while Eiji was busy dodging his rain of magic balls, but when he stretched his hand out to the side to create a portal to the Demon Realm.

"Ahhhhh!"

Lars stared at his severed left hand on the ground and the blood oozing from the scar on his left shoulder in horror. His face was deathly pale, and not only that. There was also an electric shock that shocked him until he screamed like crazy.

In front of his eyes, he couldn't see Eiji anymore, but he could see all the magic balls he threw being cut in half by the red lightning slashes from various directions.

And feeling a chill behind his back, Lars knew now Eiji was standing right behind him with a red sword wrapped in lightning.

Thud.

With his body burnt from being electrocuted, Lars knelt on the ground, he was still alive, but he was dying because even though he was a devil with very strong physical endurance, he still couldn't withstand the millions of volts of electricity that stung his body.

Is this the rumored power of Eiji Seiya? Lars was very regretful, his plan wasn't even halfway through, but he had already provoked someone who was capable of killing him easily.

Even the Demon Kings he knew, they would at least have a little trouble breaking through his physical defenses.

Unlike the other Demons, he was one of the strongest Demons of the Demon Realm. So far there was no one who could cut his body with just one slash.

But here was Eiji, he actually did it!
