281 Plot change, Haqua hardens her heart

As Rias, Sona, Serafall and Yasaka attended the boring Alliance meeting and the rest went to school.

"Haqua, how did you sleep last night?"

Compared to that, wouldn't it be more fun to ask the purple-haired girl in front of her? Compared to yesterday, she seemed more energetic.

They sat in the living room near the TV.

"Ah, um.... Last night was the first time I slept well in a month. It's all thanks to you, Eiji. Thank you."

Haqua smiled and looked at Eiji with a gentle gaze. If Keima and Elsie were here — they would definitely be surprised that Haqua wasn't acting rather tsundere like usual. And what's with that gentle gaze? The protagonist Keima out there didn't know he was starting to have the illusion of a green hat on top of his head and seemed to be missing something.

Many things that had happened changed Haqua's mentality. According to Eiji, this was Haqua in the plot after the anime ended... Don't know which season, he forgot.

"How many times have you thanked.... Speaking of Vintage and Qlippoth, you're not in a hurry, right?"

"Eh? Yes. Of course it would be best if we destroy them right away." Haqua tilted her head in confusion. Her hagoromo was still hovering around her neck, reminding Eiji of a certain silly goddess in another franchise.

"You're right, but we don't know for sure where their base is yet. So we have to wait for the other side to make a move so we can track them down."

That was a lie. In fact since the battle with Gira and the army of evil spirits she led yesterday. Eiji had already ordered the Shadow Gardens to move in the shadows as usual. Alpha was busy training Bella and Liala, but the other shadows were still reliable.

As proof this morning, Zeta had already managed to track down the evil spirits from their scent and found that Rizevim had set up a new base somewhere.

This is good.... From his "Future Insight", Eiji roughly knew the movements of the villain group.

That's why at the moment, he wasn't surprised by Jeanne suddenly entering with a green-haired girl in her hands.

"Eiji-sama, I found out this girl triggered the home defense mechanism. What should we do about her?"

If it wasn't a girl and her appearance was pretty enough, Jeanne wouldn't have bothered to ask because Grayfia had taught her to instantly kill people who clearly had evil intentions because it triggered Eiji's home defense mechanism which was divided into several levels.

"Hmm.... Haqua, you seem to know her."

Eiji's words made Jeanne, Grayfia and Asia who skipped school because they had just finished exercising stare at the purple-haired girl.

Haqua looked at the green-haired girl whose body was tied up and whose mouth was gagged by a small ball with a surprised look.

She nodded, "I know her. She's Lune, my former partner who has also joined Vintage."

Lune was unharmed at first glance, but she fainted from receiving a small portion of Eiji's Reiatsu added to the defense mechanism. The girl's soul was injured and she fell into a coma.

"Then it's up to you." Eiji said before drinking the coffee Grayfia made. Even after he fucked her hard, the silver-haired woman was still able to do her maid work perfectly.

Although her legs were trembling slightly.

"Are you sure?" Haqua looked at Eiji doubtfully.

Eiji smiled, "Yes, I was wondering what you wanted to do to your former partner who betrayed you."

[In the original work, Lune was one of the villains because she had killed one of the heroine. More precisely, she almost killed her. This girl was pretty, but that was it. Compared to Haqua, she's inferior and I'm not interested.]

Here it is again.... How many times will Eiji continue to tease her in his heart?

Haqua was anxious, a virgin demon and had been single for a long time at her age could not stand the temptation of men.

Asia and Grayfia were silent. Oh, by the way there were also Noel, Lucia and Zest who had just returned from shopping and Sheila who suddenly appeared on Eiji's lap.

"Eiji-kun~ I just returned from the Demon Realm. Do you know what information I just got?"

The legal loli whispered sweetly in his ear, she had just returned from playing. With her spatial tunnel ability, she was likely to die of boredom if she stayed at home without doing anything.

"Don't know, how would I know?"

"Fufu. It's about Sapphire~ I just met her and we talked for a while at the café."

[What?! Even my subordinates haven't gotten any results about that woman. And here, Sheila already met the protagonist's mother? Good job Sheila! I'll have to ask for the details later, for now...]

"Cough, is that so? Basara will definitely be happy if he hears this." Eiji pretended to cough and said calmly.

Sheila and the other girls, and even Haqua rolled her eyes.

They couldn't believe it! This guy was obviously very excited when he heard that the protagonist's mother had been found! And do you care so much about Basara? Pretty sure not...

"Hachoo!"

At school, Basara suddenly sneezed and had a bad feeling.

Satisfied with the joke, everyone's gaze fell on Haqua — they saw the girl walking towards the girl named Lune who was unconscious on the floor. Her scythe, the Scythe of Testament was burning with blue flames.

"Cruel girl~"

Sheila's eyes lit up, originally she thought Haqua was a typical serious and naive girl, she would forgive the one who had betrayed and hunted her and take a gentler method. But what did they see now? Eiji was even a little surprised by the choice Haqua made.

Haqua's beautiful face was expressionless and her gaze was cold, there was a hint of doubt, but when thinking of the things she had experienced over the past month. She didn't tell Eiji and the others, but she had almost died many times and it was all thanks to Lune, one of the Vintage members who was also hunting her.

Therefore—

"At least I'll give you a painless death, Lune."

The comatose Lune faintly heard Haqua's voice, she wanted to wake up, but it was useless. Her soul wound did not allow her to be able to wake up.

At that moment, Lune didn't know it was the last time she heard Haqua's voice and she would never see the world again.

*Tock*

Under everyone's gaze, using her scythe, Haqua simply knocked Lune's head lightly. The blue flame from the scythe traveled through the girl's body and in just a few seconds — Lune disappeared without leaving any ashes.

This was the Scythe of Testament's ability — except for its sharpness, the blue flame was actually not hot and would not even be able to hurt a human. But it's a different story with demons from Hell, this is one of the deadliest weapons as it can burn their souls. The user can even choose to inflict pain or not on the target which makes it like an angel of death.

Haqua got this scythe as one of the noble demons and demons who passed Hell's education with the highest score.

Previously Haqua had always hesitated to hurt her former partners, which was why she was often cornered and even almost died. But now it was different, the girl had decided that she would destroy Vintage and cleanse New Hell of the supporters of Old Hell, even if she had to slaughter her own former partners.

[It gets a bit dark.... Although in the original work Haqua also killed some of her former partners using the Scythe of Testament. A named villain like Lune, she would rather capture her and imprison her in Hell.]

She did that in the original work? Haqua thought that was what she would probably do. But that was her in the original work, the current her somehow had a different mentality after meeting Eiji and his group. This was probably the result of seeing Gira's death and at that time she realized that the death of her former partner who had betrayed her didn't bother her that much.

...

"Lala-chi, Lala-chi, where's Eiji? He didn't go to school."

In the classroom, Mio Sawada asked. After being rescued yesterday, her memories of the things she went through while being an evil spirit had been erased by Lala.

Not only them, Lala also used a "Bye Bye Memory-Kun" that looked like a joy stick — one of her inventions that could erase people's memories of certain events. Thanks to that, Risa and the other classmates also forgot that Mio Sawada was rumored to have disappeared.

They went to school as usual.

"Eiji is taking time off from school, he has other things to do~!"

There was no way she could say her fiancé didn't go to school because he had sex with Asia and Grayfia until noon. They actually did it from last night — then there was also Haqua, from Eiji's inner voice, they seemed to be having fun at Eiji's house.

Lala didn't like lying, especially to her friends, but what she said wasn't a lie. Her innocent face and sunny smile didn't help either, making Mio Sawada not doubt what the girl was saying.

"Hehe~ Really? Lala, could it be that while you were attending school. Eiji was having sex with another woman~? Oh Asia didn't come to school today either. Gosh did he and Asia do it while we were at school? That's hot~" Risa whispered in Lala's ear.

But it wasn't just Lala — Yui, Haruna and Run were no longer human, especially the last one who was an alien. Their ears caught Risa and Lala's conversation and they were stunned.

Really, how could Risa guess so accurately?!

"....." Lala didn't know what to say, she didn't like lying, Yui helped her out by hitting Risa on the head. Of course it was just a light blow that was weakened many times. Otherwise, with her current physical strength, Yui could blow Risa's head off as if it were a watermelon.

"Risa, stop talking dirty in class!"

"Aw~ Yui, your ears are so sharp. How can you hear my whispers from the front row of seats?!"

"Hmph! I only have good hearing. And remember, don't try to do it again. This is school, you can't do anything immoral."

"Ehh~ But Yui. I remember I saw you and Eiji doing something under the table while the math teacher was explaining in—mfff! mfff!"

Risa's mouth was silenced by Yui's hand, and she saw the black-haired girl giving her a sharp look with a red face.

"Risa.... What did you say? Don't talk carelessly or I'll deduct your points."

"!!!"

"Wow~ Yui-chi, you're abusing the position of moral discipline chair to–"

"Mio, you should shut up too. Or else...."

Mio Sawada immediately covered her mouth with her hand and nodded at Yui. That girl was not joking, she was actually giving her a threatening look!

Lala laughed as usual, Haruna and Run smiled wryly.

Only Rito was currently pretending not to hear even though he had no other choice but to listen. After all, he was the protagonist with superpowers! And unlike the other classmates, he was immune to the "Bye Bye Memory-Kun" effect that Lala used to erase people's memories.

{The plot finished faster than I thought. The missing Mio Sawada shouldn't be able to be found anymore since she was captured by the people from that organization and turned into a monster along with the other people who were kidnapped.}

{This must have something to do with that guy, Eiji. I'm not surprised....even with Lala erasing the memories of the people in the class using her invention. Unfortunately it won't be effective on me — my void dragon bloodline makes me have a high resistance to brainwashing abilities.}

Rito? Lala and the other girls naturally looked at the protagonist sitting on the window side of the second row — he was faking it! Unlike the others, he hadn't lost his memory at all.

Lala was a little surprised, but when thinking of the bloodline or whatever Rito had. She thought it made sense, "Bye Bye Memory-Kun" also wouldn't actually be effective on people as strong as Eiji, Rias, Sona and the others.

Still, what Rito said next made everyone who heard his inner voice fall silent. How does it feel, Rito is starting to become a spoiler-spreader like Eiji?

{What's the next plot? If this plot finishes sooner.... It wasn't just humans who were attacked by those monsters.}

{But people on the supernatural side were also affected. They couldn't stay silent of course. But since the monsters could live many times after being killed, some groups had extreme ideas. For example, the group of evil witches on the other hand wanted to help another group of villains to release the seal of the creature called Weiss. They were fighting in the Maijima region and the seal had to be around there.}

{This makes the largest wizard organization in the human world — Grauza....berer, if I'm not mistaken that's its name. They came forward to stop that group of evil witches.}

{However, this has nothing to do with me. My training through meditation and exercise is going well, those troublesome things let the heroes and Eiji take care of it.}

"...."

Leave the heroines aside.

But Eiji was a little surprised, after all this plot was not in his "Future Insight". From the beginning he only saw a rough picture of it.

"But Grauzauberer huh? Where's Lavinia? I haven't seen her since returning from Demon Realm."

"That woman neglected her duties as my girls' bodyguard. Although it wasn't really treated, still..."

Just as he said that, his doorbell rang.

"Let me open the door." Zest took the initiative, she walked towards the front door of the house — whether intentionally or not, but her butt was moving left and right. That was a bit much, the other party was obviously seducing the master.

"..."

Eiji sighed. By the way, he was watching Haqua who was sparring with Jeanne.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Using her Sacred Gear, not only swordsmanship, Jeanne also showered Haqua with many swords that grew from the ground. She fought seriously as the purple-haired girl felt her power was lacking. Before knocking on the door of Vintage and Qlippoth's headquarters, she wanted to become stronger.

So Eiji recommended her to spar with Jeanne. Only then, after Haqua saw how big the power gap was between her and the people from the Highschool DxD franchise where the scale of their battles was bigger than her franchise.

"Ugh...!"

Haqua was slashed by several holy swords growing from the ground, she was having trouble approaching Jeanne and could only dodge the other party's attacks while also parrying using her scythe.

"This is your limit, without your scythe... I'm sorry, but you're very weak. Just so you know, I haven't even used 50% of what I can do in battle."

With a red-colored tattoo shining dimly on her neck, Jeanne said proudly. Of course. As Eiji's servant and one of his women — she also has a Master-Servant contract.

Haqua naturally noticed the tattoo on Jeanne's neck, but she still hadn't realized how it worked. Her expression a little ugly, she could not argue with what the blonde girl said.

"I.... Is there no other way?"

¶{Now I understand why you bothered to do this mock battle. As expected of you, host. You always have some subtle tricks up your sleeve}.

What nonsense was this woman talking about?

Eiji didn't admit it, but right now he was winking at Jeanne. Jeanne who had been trained to be a good girl understood. Asia who was also watching on the sidelines walked over to Haqua and healed her wound using her Twilight Healing.

"Haqua-san, it takes time and hard work to get stronger. You shouldn't rush things."

"I know but...." Haqua was in a hurry. Still, the girl named Asia had this kind of convenient ability. All her wounds quickly healed like yesterday. But unlike yesterday, this time the girl was emitting green light from her hands which made her wonder how much ability she had?

"What Asia said is not wrong.... But that doesn't mean there are no shortcuts to becoming stronger quickly."

Jeanne's words made Haqua's eyes sparkle.

"How?"

Jeanne pointed at the tattoo on her neck. The tattoo initially disappeared after Haqua surrendered and they finished fighting. But Jeanne was able to make it appear again.

"By having the same tattoo as me. Your physical power and magic will increase greatly. Asia and the other women around Eiji-sama also have it."

"And the way to get it is with...."

Jeanne was whispering something to Haqua and Asia was coaxing the purple-haired girl. Haqua's face was as red as Rias' hair and she glanced at Eiji who was watching in the distance.

Eiji pretended not to see Haqua's gaze and looked at the blonde woman brought in by Zest.

"Yo Lavinia, how are you?"

"T-That... Fine and..." Lavinia smiled awkwardly, she lowered her head like a little girl who did something wrong.

And said "Sorry! Eiji, I didn't do my duty properly. The organization I joined, Grauzauberer has been having problems in the past two weeks. So I was busy helping them."

"I see...." Eiji nodded, he was smiling and didn't seem to be angry which relieved Lavinia. For some reason, imagining Eiji hating her for this made Lavinia feel very uncomfortable.

But fortunately...! Eiji was a man with a big heart, he wasn't angry at her! This was in stark contrast to Tobio who had been following her around lately and babbling over and over again that Eiji wasn't a good person and told her to stay away from him.

At that time, the beautiful blonde witch was angry and would have killed the fake Tobio if not for the fact that his body belonged to the real Tobio. Unfortunately.... Until now Lavinia still had no way of removing the transmigrator occupying Tobio's body.

"If I may know, what's the problem? I might be able to help you."

"Really?! Eiji, you're a good person!....I'm sorry for shirking my duties as your contracted witch. Generally you can punish me because it's tantamount to a breach of contract."

"No, don't give me the good person card. As for punishing you? Forget it.... It's just a small matter. I hope you don't repeat it again and let me know if you want to take time off."

Eiji waved his hand, not taking it seriously even though he was a little tempted to 'punish' the woman sitting in front of him.

He glanced at Lavinia's breasts which as usual were hidden under her thick witch's robes. They had gotten a little bigger than the last time he had seen them. As expected from the woman with the third largest breasts in the franchise. She surpassed Rias in size.

¶{Cough, host, your gaze.}

Don't worry, I'm using a 360-degree perspective. From Lavinia's perspective, she only sees me looking at her face.

¶{.....}

Don't ask how her host did it, with his power now such a thing is not impossible to do.

Still, it's a pervert! .... Wait, is her host not a pervert? He's just pretty good at hiding it.

Just like Eiji thought. Lavinia didn't realize it, she nodded at the other girls who happened to be looking at her from the courtyard before looking at Eiji. She was no hypocrite and since Eiji was willing to help her, she did not hesitate to explain what kind of trouble Grauzauberer was in.

And this had something to do with what the protagonist Rito had said in his heart. Lavinia thought Eiji also knew because of this, so she just needed to tell him more details.
