Dangerous handsome man

"Cut!"

After the director said that, the show finally ended.

The number of viewers of Magical Kyouko today was more than usual. Not only because there were popular idols like Ai Hoshino and Run who filled the roles and songs on the show, but there was also the Demon King whose performance was very good.

Also, none of them thought they would see a plot twist like the Demon King confessing to Magical Kyouko. After all, usually this show only tells the story of a second-year high school girl who fights evil with her witch suit.

Of all the characters that appeared in this episode. It wasn't the protagonist Magical Kyouko, Witch Ai Hoshino or Witch Run who were most talked about by people watching the show. Actually, the Demon King was more talked about!

That boss villain character, many of them idolized him and were very curious about the identity of the man who played the character.

Unlike other characters, the Demon King's identity was mysterious!

It wasn't that Eiji wanted to hide his identity like certain protagonists, he didn't have that kind of hobby. It was just that this was just a TV show, and many of the viewers were also made up of ordinary people who he thought it would be troublesome if he became famous in the industry. If he becomes one, when he walks out, wouldn't there be a lot of people who would ask for his autograph?

It was troublesome and he also didn't plan to play the Demon King again, even when the director of Magical Kyouko begged him for it.

[If it wasn't for Run's request that I help out in Magical Kyouko's show, I wouldn't have wanted to play the Demon King. Speaking of Kyouko, that girl too, she's one of the heroine in the To Love Ru franchise. In the original work, she would fall in love with the protagonist Rito after he saved her from the pursuit of her fans at school.]

"Me too?!"

"Kyouko, what are you too?"

"Uh no, Eiji-san, I just..."

Kyouko wondered should she say that she could hear his inner voice? But she felt the gazes of Ai and Run who were sitting on either side of Eiji.

They shook their heads slightly as if telling her not to. Wait! Are you guys also...

By the way, they were sitting in a cafe not far from Kyouko's Magical Studio. As a personal thank you for helping her with this event, Kyouko invited Ai, Run, and Eiji to eat and drink at the cafe.

Except for Eiji, they had changed into casual clothes and did not forget to wear glasses and hats at times like this to avoid the fans. Such was the life of a movie artist or Idol like them when going to public places that usually had a lot of people.

"Just what?" Eiji smiled, seeing the short black haired girl blushing and her gaze often glancing at his face.

"Eiji~ don't bully Kyouko." Run pinched her shoulder.

Eiji shrugged and drank the drink he ordered.

Seeing the behavior of the two who were quite close, Kyouko was not surprised because of course after hearing the inner voice all this time. She knew Run was Eiji's woman. Not only that girl, she also knew there were also other girls. Eiji was basically a man with a harem, so he had many women.

Despite not showing it on the surface, Kyouko was actually a little jealous of Run's closeness with Eiji.

Who had confessed to her before?

She knew it was just acting, but still... Her heart pounded when she heard the man's confession to her.

She could understand Run, but why was Ai also sitting next to Eiji?

You know what? When everyone was sitting next to Eiji, only she sat alone and was forced to watch men and women who sometimes fed each other.

"Ahem! Eiji-san, Run, Ai. Thanks to you, today's Magical Kyouko event went very well. I'm grateful to you guys, especially Eiji who was willing to replace the cast of the Demon King who couldn't attend because he was sick."

Kyouko said this to change the topic and actually she wanted to stop Run who started feeding Eiji again. Stop feeding people dog food!

"Run-san is too serious. Run and I are also doing this because of work. Right, Run?" Ai blinked her star eyes, she smiled and looked at the girl in question without paying attention to the man sitting beside her.

Actually, it was not because she took the initiative to sit next to Eiji, but the man himself took the initiative to sit next to her before Run also followed his lead. This only left Kyouko sitting alone in front of them.

She felt a little sorry for the girl.

"Hehe Ai is right! Kyouko, I also had fun in this collaboration. In the future, we'll still play again together!" Run was excited, it was her and Ai's first time playing a movie even though they were Idols.

They must have practiced several times before the show started, and luckily they pulled it off. Especially Eiji, her boyfriend was surprisingly talented in that field.

He improvised a lot but the result was better than following the original script.

Everyone was of course happy.

"Un, although not all characters will always appear in every episode of Magical Kyouko. But the director will probably make you guys appear a lot after seeing your performance today! Especially the guy who played the Demon King, he must be liked by the director and will be featured more in the next few episodes." Kyouko glanced at Eiji.

"....." Ai and Run naturally stared at the man as well.

"What? Why are you guys staring at me? There's no way I'll be in a movie again. Sorry girls, but I'm a busy person. Unless it's an emergency situation like earlier, I don't want to work officially in this industry."

Eiji was serious, even if Ai and Run were making sullen expressions and the latter was looking at him with a pleading gaze.

Kyouko lowered her shoulders in disappointment. "It's a pity, even though Eiji-san is very talented in playing the Demon King. It looks like the next episode of Magical Kyouko will be a time skip where the Demon King and Magical Kyouko cannot be together."

"Eiji looks so natural as a villain, it's a shame."

"I think Eiji is a real Demon King."

Ai, you're saying that because you know I can really turn into a Demon King from my inner voice.

And Run, I'm technically the protagonist. How can you call me a villain?

¶{Actually that's not wrong.}

Miss System, you too?

Eiji glanced at a certain corner table in the cafe, from earlier he actually felt someone's excessive envy and anger from there. I wonder if there's a plot in this cafe? He saw a boy with brown hair and green eyes who also happened to be looking at him coldly.

He smiled at that boy and he could see the other party getting annoyed. Heh, the other party's appearance is not familiar at all, he is definitely not the protagonist. Maybe a minor character that had something to do with Kyouko?

Besides staring at him, the boy also often glanced at Kyouko dissatisfiedly when the girl was talking to him.

"Let's put aside the matter of work. I wonder if Kyouko has a boyfriend?"

"W-Why are you suddenly asking me this? Eiji-san, could it be that you... Even though you already have Run and Ai by your side..."

Ai wanted to argue, she obviously didn't have that kind of relationship with Eiji. However, she remained silent and did not confirm whether it was true or not.

Suddenly the shy Kyouko smiled seductively and continued. "Don't tell me your confession as the Demon King earlier was serious?!"

She glanced at Ai and Run to see their reactions. But their reactions were dull, Ai looked confused and Run... I don't know why that girl is smiling and looking at me excitedly.

Eiji who saw Kyouko's action was not surprised, this girl also kind of liked to flirt with the protagonist Rito in the original work. However, Kyouko was still too naive, she didn't even realize Run was looking at her excitedly because she thought she was going to be her sister.

Under the gaze of the boy in the corner of the cafe, he took one of Kyouko's hands and lifted it slightly on the table. While Run and Ai were a little surprised that she was that bold. Kyouko herself was surprised and blushed, her gaze that liked handsome men became even crazier when looking at him.

In fact of all the heroine in To Love Ru, Kyouko was one of the easiest girls. The key is that as long as you are handsome enough like the protagonist and do something to make her heart flutter, you can get the witch girl as your girlfriend.

Unlike the protagonist Rito who didn't realize it because of his dense personality and didn't do anything when Kyouko fell in love with him, Eiji who was not a herbivorous protagonist would certainly not do the same.

"Aside from improvising the script, it can actually be taken seriously. When I said it, I said what I wanted. After all, who is the guy who doesn't like a beautiful girl like Magical Kyouko?"

"...."

Faint steam began to come out of Kyouko's head as the girl's face grew redder and her body temperature grew hotter. Hm... This wasn't normal, Eiji was certainly familiar with steam coming out of the head of girls who fainted from embarrassment in anime. But Kyouko's current situation was the real thing and it seemed to have something to do with her Alien physiology which he himself forgot what it was called.

What was certain was that it had something to do with the girl's ability to create fire.

Well... Before Kyouko could say anything, someone finally couldn't take it anymore and walked over to their table.

You finally came. Eiji also did this to lure the boy out of his hiding place.

"Hey you! Let go of Kyouko-chan's hand!"

Everyone including Kyouko naturally glanced at the boy who approached their table. Embarrassed, Kyouko let go of Eiji's hand and looked at the newly arrived boy in surprise.

"Ikemen-san, what are you doing here?"

Ikemen was generally a word that meant a handsome man in Japan, but this Ikemen was the name of a third-year senior at her school who could be said to be quite good to her at school.

He was also handsome, Kyouko liked him physically before. But after meeting Eiji and hearing the boy's confession that made her heart flutter. Unlike before, she looked at Ikemen-san with annoyance.

"I... I happened to be at this cafe for coffee too."

"Drinking coffee? Alone?"

"Uh yes, I came with my friends."

Eiji glanced at the table where Ikemen or whatever was sitting before and said with a smile. "Friends? I didn't see anyone at the table where you sat before."

Ikemen-san's expression grew ugly, he looked at Eiji with hostility on his face which made Run and Ai frown.

Kyouko also noticed there was no one at the table Ikemen-san sat at before, she looked at the boy strangely.

"I don't see your friends either."

"They went home first." Ikemen-san said and he was actually sad that Kyouko seemed to listen to what the white-haired boy said!

He was jealous and wanted to explode but he restrained himself because he didn't want his "Kind Senior" image to be ruined in front of Kyouko.

"Really? But Ikemen-san, I remember your home and our school is far from here. You came to this cafe just to drink coffee alone? A few days ago, I remember you also said the same thing when we met at the laundry."

Kyouko usually wouldn't ask too many details whenever she accidentally met Ikemen-san on the street and that's how they got to know each other even though they were in different classes at school. True, this was actually not the first time this had happened and sometimes she also often met Ikemen-san while going to supermarkets, convenience stores, markets to buy vegetables, laundries and other places.

Come to think of it Kyouko just realized that this was too weird, right? What's even stranger is that she only realized it now after meeting Eiji!

Eiji squinted his eyes slightly, he could see that this Ikemen-san was an ordinary person. But there were supernatural energy fluctuations in his body. It was very small and seemed to be only useful for increasing charm and lowering the IQ of the people around him by three or five points.

[Does this Ikemen-san really have charm abilities similar to succubus or hentai protagonists in the original works? From Kyouko's words, this wasn't the first time a person named Ikemen-san met Kyouko in random places. Isn't he acting like a stalker who uses the chance encounter trick to get close to a woman?]

Now Ai and Run were staring at the boy in question with wariness and slight disgust. Kyouko was dumbfounded, she hadn't thought of this before. Come to think of it all of her senior's actions so far were stalker-like, right? And crazily she had never suspected it until now.

Why didn't she realize it?

[Looking at Kyouko's confused and stupid expression, it seems to be true. If it wasn't for that girl meeting a person like me who has a strong passive aura to block any enchantment or IQ lowering effect on the people around me. Kyouko would probably still think this Ikemen-san is a good person or a handsome senior who is kind and considerate to her.]

Huh?! Confused, stupid? Isn't that a bit much? Kyouko pouted, but she was again surprised to hear Eiji's analysis of Ikemen-san.

Okay, it seems there really is something wrong with that boy. She didn't doubt what Eiji said in his heart because so far she knew the things he often said about the protagonist, the plot and the heroines were also true.

This made her gaze at Ikemen-san become unfriendly, there was a hint of disgust and nausea in her heart because she had previously thought the other party was very kind.

"Kyouko-chan... Why ask this? You know we usually meet by chance. It's not a strange thing."

"Not a strange thing?! Ikemen-san, you're stalking me!"

"No, Kyouko-chan. You misunderstood!"

"Stop calling me Kyouko-chan. Now that I realize it, it's actually rather disgusting."

"What?! Kyouko-chan, why are you suddenly so... Damn, it must be because of this boy, right?! I heard this boy confess to you and you were moved by it!"

Ikemen-san pointed at Eiji who was sitting with two girls who were no less beautiful than Kyouko, he was actually envious of that boy, especially for having a more handsome face than him. However, he grinned in his heart and used this opportunity to say.

"Kyouko-chan, you must have been tricked by this boy. Didn't you see the two girls sitting with him? He confessed to you when there were also two girls who were very close to him. This boy must be a playboy!"

"Kyouko-chan, you should stay away from him. You'd better come with me and leave here."

Ikemen-san wanted to extend his hand to Kyouko, but the girl slapped his hand using the cafe's drink menu and he winced slightly as it was quite painful.

He was surprised, this was the first time Kyouko had hurt him!

And what's with the cold, disgusted look she gives him? Ah! Ah! Kyouko-chan, no!! Don't look at me with that gaze!

"Ikemen-san, we may have been friends before. But that doesn't mean you can just meddle in my affairs."

"You've interrupted my time with my friends. Can you please leave? Please leave us alone."

Kyouko's pretty face looked cold as she looked at Ikemen-san. Eiji, Run and Ai who were busy watching on the side ran out of their fries and looked at each other.

Should we order more fries?

"Kyouko-chan, you, you..."

Wow~ Ikemen-san held his chest as if feeling the pain in his heart from Kyouko's cold words.

His handsome face distorted and looked at Eiji angrily.

"It's all your fault! If it wasn't for you, Kyouko-chan wouldn't‒"

Kyouko was angry to see Ikemen-san keep pointing at Eiji and yelling at him. She wanted to stop that boy, but Eiji who had been enjoying himself as a spectator suddenly said.

"Your name is Ikemen-san? Didn't you hear what Kyouko said clearly? She told you to leave, are you deaf?"

Saying that, Eiji also took out a bit of his reiatsu to intimidate the boy. Honestly for a small character like this, he could certainly kill him easily. But if he directly committed murder in front of these girls. Putting aside Run who was already his woman, he was sure that girl would not mind. But Ai and Kyouko might be a bit troubled seeing the murder in front of their eyes.

Making the boy fall on his ass, looking at her with a horrified gaze as his soul felt a sense of terror as if he could die anytime if he wanted to and the cold sweat pouring down his face was enough for now.

"Hiikk!!! Monster, you must be a monster! Don't, don't kill me!!" Ikemen-san screamed loudly which made many people in the cafe naturally notice him.

They wondered what was wrong with that boy?

The scene was so embarrassing, some people took out their cell phones and filmed Ikemen-san getting hysterical and running out of the cafe with his pants oozing liquid.

Many customers covered their noses in disgust as some of Ikemen-san's liquid was left on the floor.

"Sorry Eiji-san, Ikemen-san is actually a senior at my school. Before that we were just friends. He was usually a nice person before I saw his real face."

Kyouko apologized to Eiji and explained her relationship with Ikemen-san as if worried that he would misunderstand.

Eiji waved his hand and said, "It's fine. Kyouko, you should be more careful with men who try to approach you out of nowhere in the future."

"Just because they're handsome and nice on the surface, doesn't mean they're the same on the inside."

Eiji said that without blushing and ignored Ai and Run's flat stares.

Eiji, are you seriously saying that? Why don't you look in the mirror a little?

If it's about men who are good on the outside and evil on the inside...

Although Eiji was good, he was also sometimes evil, especially to the protagonists and men who sought trouble with him. The heroines who heard his inner voice all along, as long as they weren't stupid, they knew the truth.

Kyouko too, she actually thought Eiji would kill Ikemen-san for daring to provoke him. However, he only intimidated that boy.

In conclusion Eiji was indeed not a good person, but if it was on his woman, he must be a very good man.

This made Kyouko think of her answer to Eiji's confession and wonder if she should...

Run also didn't seem to mind.
