Chapter 24: Interrupted once again

A little while into the antics, Isumi suddenly broke her rhythm.

"Mr Virgil, I would like to know if I could invite you to my house, would you happen to have a space in your schedule?"

Along with her voice, the room entered an eerie calm. Those who were fighting stopped fighting, those who were fighting stopped fighting, a certain someone who had the centipede in his ears stopped screaming. They were looking at Isumi and Virgil with kind eyes. Of course, except for a certain someone…

Feeling a shiver run down his spine, he turned his face stiffly only to see a Kaichou-sama who was wearing a friendly smile...

{Cum. My favorability towards her dropped to 0…}

As expected, only when the MC is cursed by bad luck is there anything to see, huh? His tears streamed down his face.

Only when she saw everyone's soft gazes did she try to explain herself in panic.

"No… it's not like that, guys, I… I'm just inviting Mr. Virgil to my house because… because mom and grandma are curious about him getting rid of the spirits, so… so…"

Upon hearing her explanation, everyone nodded in understanding. Feeling the cold air leaving, he let out a sigh of relief, happy to have dodged a beautiful boat…. (A/N: nice boat, referring to the thing with the last episode 12 of School Days being replaced with a nice boat drifting on a river for some reason. In this case, it rekt so hard that it doesn't appear on screen. Maybe Someone with better knowledge of the show could explain, I haven't watched the anime so I wouldn't know how to explain it properly)

He started thinking about the invitation, he is quite interested in it not only because he can see the peak of skills within this world, but also because of his own mission.

In this world, the Saginomiya family is a well-known family, add that to the fact that they are an exorcist family, then surely the power and influence they wield is greater than him. Left to your own devices to seek or obtain help from a large family, it would be more convenient to opt for the latter. Furthermore, it involves looking for just one piece of crystal, it would certainly not be rejected.

Thinking so, he nodded at her invitation.

"I understand, Miss Saginomiya, I will visit the Saginomiya family tonight."

She smiled at his response.

"Then I will wait patiently for your grand arrival."

----------

After school, walking down the street back home is a different situation than usual, he is walking behind Hinagiku and she is in front of him.

Every time he hurried to catch up with her, she increased the speed of her steps so as not to be with him, this left him without limits.

{Did I do something wrong?}

She is feeling very complicated as she continues to walk in front of him, not knowing how to deal with her feelings.

Before Virgil, there was no man she had such a close relationship with. At first, because he said something so ridiculous that he could pass the entrance exam in an hour, she maintained hostility against him.

As the student council president of Hakuo Academy, this is clearly defiant and dismissive of Hakuo Academy from her point of view. So, she agreed to the bet on the spur of the moment.

After that, in the space of an hour and the interactions they had, she discovered that he's not the arrogant idiot she thought he was. On the contrary, he is a very affable guy, this changed her opinion of him and ended the animosity she had towards him.

Under the influence of this change of heart and her shocking memory, she can't help but feel a sense of intrigue from the guy. After that, the development around her current position as butler, she was just extending a hand for the sake of extending a hand, to give the one who came from a "foreign" place a place to stay, that's all.

Gradually, spending more and more time with him, she began to have a deeper understanding of Virgil. He tried to make her laugh every day and his cooking basically conditioned her to trust him, it slowly made her think of him as her closest friend.

Then, that night, he broke into her room and saw her naked body, which angered her deeply.

In fact, she is quite conscious of her body, nothing in particular other than her chest, she is already almost 16 and yet her chest is still no bigger than when she just entered high school. This fact made her very anxious and humiliated.

And then that night when he saw her, she thought for sure he was going to make fun of her, being ridiculed by her best friend, looking at his regretful expression she felt even more inferior.

Letting herself go, she no longer cared about being naked, she just wanted to teach him a lesson, but he didn't laugh at herself. Who knew that not only did he not ridicule her, but she even said something like 'I really liked it'.

Her heart was in disarray, yes, she is very popular at Hakuo Academy, but she hadn't really spent any time with any boys, so when was she confronted with something like this? Plus he said 'like' and stuff.

From that night onwards, she slightly changed her feelings towards him. Not long after that, she felt a strong sense of rejection of her own feelings, of her feelings for him...

Being the first time she actually felt something like this for a boy, she didn't know how to deal with it. So she chose to deal with it the same way she had been dealing with it the last few days, very strange and strange, the relationship went from being able to tease each other to her no longer being able to feel at peace with herself.

This passive attitude towards interaction was her way of dealing with the mess. She's actually getting a little worried, with the way she's acting being all distant and passive, he would definitely hate her, right?

But Virgil acted as if nothing had happened, he continued preparing meals, telling the same stupid jokes. This caused the strange sensation to contract, condensing into something much larger…

And today she is plunged into chaos, with him hiding things from her, why would she feel sad? Being hugged by him, shouldn't she break free? Why couldn't she resist falling into the warm embrace he offered?

Furthermore, when Isumi invited him to her house, why did she feel uncomfortable about it?

She lived her life every day in a simple way, her heart didn't have many ripples. But in her endless thoughts, ripples formed in waves throughout her heart.

"I say, Lady Hinagiku, if I did something wrong, just tell me directly so I can die without complaints."

Looking at Hinagiku, who was so lost in her thoughts that she went down the wrong path, he was truly speechless. They had already arrived at a small forest, so he simply ran in front of it and blocked it, looking like a "selfless martyr rushing to his death."

His action shocked her and made her take a few steps back. But looking at his silly look, she can't help but laugh.

He also smiled at her reaction.

"Oh, are you laughing now? I assume this means you are already well?

Stunned by him, she forced a smile.

"I… I'm fine, why wouldn't I be…?"

"Really now?"

Giving her a skeptical look, he slowly walked over and brought his face close to hers before smiling at her.

"Look at my face and let's see you say you're okay once again."

Heart beating faster, face slowly turning red, she's looking at his face just inches away, she can't help but flinch.

For what reason would he let her go, seeing her walk away, he moved forward. When she finally retreated to a tree, he approached her making her heart skip a beat. She turned her head to the side as she screamed.

"I'm fine! I'm completely fine!

Rolling his eyes at his blatant lie.

"You don't dare look at my face and say you're fine. Seriously, if you have something you want to say, just say it. Otherwise, you will not be fulfilling your previous promise."

"Promise?"

She felt confused by his statement.

He fell down feeling a little hurt.

"It seems like you forgot about that."

She scratched the side of her face as she seemed to apologize.

"What was that promise again…"

"Since you forgot about it, forget it."

''What, since you brought it up, you might as well say that. Could it be the only favor from the previous bet?"

She kept shaking her head trying to remember, but failing she growled at him.

Seemingly pleased with her reaction, he shook her hands.

"Okay, didn't I say I would tell you the circumstances surrounding me as part of the promise? It happened today and you consider yourself an excellent student."

"Ah, so that was it…"

Realizing something very important, she shouted loudly.

"Wait, no! That promise can't be invalid, didn't you say you wouldn't lie to a girl while hugging her? You must fulfill your part of the promise!"

Looking at her all angry and furious, he is speechless, you were the one who forgot the promise, weren't you? Kaichou-sama?

"You forgot yourself, I'm not the one who isn't keeping my end of the deal…"

"No means no!"

Having a brilliant idea, he rubbed his chin before smiling.

"That means the promise must be kept, correct?"

"But of course!"

Without hesitation, she stated.

Mocking her, he continued his uncomfortable feeling.

"Well then milady Hinagiku, what you mentioned about the favor, isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise?"

Virgil spoke laughing like a villain, Hinagiku finally realized that she was caught and resolutely defended herself.

"Very well! Say, what is your favor, I will absolutely fulfill it!"

Going 'oh' at her statement, the smile on her face widened even more, slowly he began to move closer to her face. When she understood in her stupor what he was trying to do with a 'poof', his face started to turn red.

Not knowing what to make of the approaching face, she became alarmed.

"What… what are you trying to do…"

Laughing, he hinted at his intentions insidiously.

"You tell me, what am I going to do…"

She wants to move further away, but the trunk is right behind her and his body is already pressed against her. Looking at the approaching face, she used her hands to resist his chest and protested with a flushed face.

"No… please don't do this…"

Ignoring her, he was celebrating inside.

With this kind of opportunity and climate, those who do not promote its achievement should really hang themselves.

Holding her waist with his hands, he dragged her into his embrace and slowly walked towards her lips….

She twisted her body in anxiety and began to shake. After she came into range of him and felt the distance between them shrink to almost 0, she began to huff before finally surrendering.

And just before he conquered the land he dreamed of, a loud bang surprised Hinagiku and she opened her eyes to see what happened. Looking at the thing before her, she was filled with terror.

Larger than a man by about 50%, the thing wore armor and was equipped with two giant axes. From the looks of it, it looked like a fat, armored guy about to start attacking.

It looked like a human, except it clearly wasn't because it didn't have a head!

Still hugging her, he looked at the life form before him. Her face is expressionless, but in her eyes and in her heart a raging fire is about to overwhelm him!

{The original main character getting in the way of my achievement can be ignored, but even a headless piece of trash like you fucks with me?!!!}
