Even though it was a mumble, how could Eiji not hear what Rito was saying?
[Protagonist Rito, are you seriously saying that? You're glad this matter has nothing to do with you? What's with this protagonist?! Can't you be more excited? You're too ignorant! I honestly prefer it when you find trouble with me and I'll slap you as usual.]
The heroines:....
They remembered that this man often complained that the protagonist was very troublesome because he often looked for trouble with him.
But now, after the protagonist is quiet and not looking for trouble, you complain that the protagonist is too ignorant.
What exactly do you want?
Eiji ignored the gazes of Lala, Asia, Run, Yui, and Haruna. He looked at Ren who had the muscles of a bodybuilder and nodded.
[I didn't expect this boy to actually do the muscle training from the book I gave him.]
[No wonder I haven't seen him for 2 months. Ren was busy building his muscles like crazy!]
[Sorry Run, it's my fault, I didn't expect your brother to take the training book I gave him seriously. Who made Ren's brain circuitry different from ordinary people? An ordinary person wouldn't want to do 1000 push ups, 1000 shit ups, run 20 kilometers, and go up and down Mt. Fuji 20 times every day! They would naturally think that they were tricked!]
Many of the heroines were confused because this had something to do with Eiji, then Run remembered in the past when Rito chased her with Ren. To repel Ren, Eiji gave the boy a book with a muscle cover and said a man with manly muscles is more favored by women.
Ren who thought he could make Lala fall in love with him with his muscles, he seemed to take what Eiji said seriously and practiced it.
So her brother became like this because of Eiji! However, Run didn't get angry or blame the man, especially after she heard his heartfelt apology. Love is blind, even if she didn't hear Eiji apologize for this matter, she wouldn't blame the man.
Run would only blame Ren for being too stupid and gullible.
"Now I already look more manly than Eiji. Lala, you have to fall in love with me, right? Leave Eiji and go be with me!"
"And Eiji, sorry. Although I thank you for telling me how to be manly."
"I've beaten you fairly. So I hope you don't hate me for taking Lala away from you."
Ren smiled and said very confidently, he looked very confident that Lala would choose him and leave Eiji. He gave Eiji a slightly guilty look because he stole his fiancee.
Many students naturally stared at Eiji.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect this morning to be so fun." Risa held her stomach and laughed in her seat. What she was laughing at was of course Ren, but Risa also found Eiji's current expression very interesting.
"....." Eiji's lips twitched, he wanted to slap Risa's ass.
But instead of getting angry or replying to what Ren said, he just looked at the boy with pity and said to Lala.
"Lala finish it quickly and clearly, after that sit down immediately because class is about to start."
Eiji walked towards the seat in his class, Asia and Run followed. Lala who saw this did not want to be left behind, she looked at Ren and hurriedly said: "Sorry Ren! But let me be clear, there's no way I'm with you, I only love Eiji. Better, you find another girl."
Saying that, Lala immediately entered the classroom with her usual bright smile, greeted her classmates, and sat down beside Eiji.
The watching students also began to enter the classroom one by one, some of them staring at the stunned Ren with pity.
The boy's big body staggered back, Lala's voice sounded sweet, but the words spoken by the girl were like a hammer that hit his heart.
Just now he was confident that Lala would agree to be with him and leave Eiji.
But reality slapped his in the face.
He was like a clown.
In the past two months, he had worked hard to build up his muscles to make him look manly. Every day, day and night he practiced until he was sweating and panting as if he was going to die from exhaustion.
He did it just to win the heart of a girl he had liked since childhood.
Ren really liked Lala.
However, after he became what he is now, Lala is still not even interested in him, she doesn't like him and she said it clearly.
There was no way they were together.
Lala only loved Eiji.
Not him.
She told him to find another girl.
"Pufft!"
Perhaps because it was the first time Ren heard Lala's clear rejection, he had a mental attack that made the blood rise to his throat and he vomited blood.
The students in the class were dumbfounded.
Ren actually vomited blood?!
Except for Eiji and the heroines, this was the first time they saw someone vomit blood because their love was rejected.
They thought this kind of thing would only happen in movies. However, in the real world this kind of thing could also happen.
Protagonist Rito shook his head, he saw his own reflection in Ren. After all, he had also vomited blood many times from looking for trouble with Eiji and those girls.
He was now a veteran who had learned from experience, he believed that as long as he did not take the initiative to look for trouble with Eiji, he could live well and would never have another mental attack in his life.
...
School went on as usual even after Ren fainted and was taken to the school health room by several male students who carried his large body.
Eiji pretended to be busy at that time, he didn't want to lift a male body even though it was an easy thing for him. Protagonist Rito was the same, he kept staring out the window until the teacher finally came and started class.
Eiji knew Tearju and Lavinia were already teachers at his school.
But unlike Tearju who taught as a physics teacher in the first grade. Lavinia was not a teacher for all students, Sona organized a special class for her where after school, the girls in his harem who were interested in learning magic could go to her class.
So far, apart from Nana and Momo who are not part of his harem, there are Haruna and Yui who are also interested in learning magic from Lavinia. In the original work, Lavinia was also a magic teacher for a girl named Aika Kiryu and several other girls. So Eiji believed Lavinia could teach the girls well.
"Don't worry Eiji-san. I will try to seduce Lavinia-san so that she will be interested in joining your harem."
"Momo, I don't understand what you're saying. Just study well."
"Hehe~"
In the afternoon, when school hours ended, Eiji met Momo who was on her way to Lavinia's class with Nana. Momo whispered in his ear and said nice things.
This girl is trying to help him get a woman!
She was doing things like Sona, even before she officially joined his harem. Honestly if asked if he liked Momo, he would answer yes, he liked that girl. Not just because of her body, but also the girl's character. He liked girls like Sona and Momo who could be his wingman without being told to.
In the original work, Eiji remembered that Momo had also helped the protagonist Rito to build a harem. The girl wanted Rito to have a harem so that she herself could join it.
Although in his case, he already had a harem and in fact Momo was free to join if she wanted to. Eiji was sure Lala wouldn't mind sharing her husband with her younger sister. However, Momo seemed to have a complicated idea, the girl seemed to be trying to make him fall in love with her by helping him get a woman first before joining his harem.
[This girl is very nice.]
[I don't know why the protagonist Rito in the original work rejects girls like Momo so much. Momo is beautiful and she has great wingman skills. If a man has that girl as a wife, what else should a husband ask for?]
The heroines:...
Wow this man's mouth is so slippery.
No, should they call the man's heart slippery?
After all the man only dared to say those shameless words in his heart!
Momo blushed, and at the same time also got even more motivated. She ignored Nana who was looking at her suspiciously and pulled her into Lavinia's class.
She had to quickly convince Lavinia to become her sister!
Lavinia who was organizing books about magic in a classroom did not know why she felt she was being targeted.
She also didn't know that the girl who would become her own student would conspire to make her sleep with a man.
If Tobio knew this, he would have insisted on accompanying Lavinia at school. However, it was a pity that after the man had the unluckiest day of his life a few days ago where he repeatedly slipped on banana peels, stepped on dog feces, was chased by a dog, fell into a ditch, etc. that Lavinia who happened to be with him at the time looked at him with disgust.
Lavinia thought Tobio was deliberately making himself fall, step on feces, and other disgusting things to gain her sympathy. Tonio doesn't know this, since then Lavinia treats him more coldly and refuses to let him come with her to school.
From Lavinia's point of view, how could the normally skillful and strong Tobio not be unable to avoid things like banana peels, dog feces, and even the obvious gutter by the roadside! Even if Tobio wasn't Tobio anymore, Lavinia was sure that normal people wouldn't be so bad as Tobio.
So Lavinia misunderstood.
Tobio was suffering and he didn't know all the misfortune was happening because Eiji stuck a "Misfortune Card" on him.
Seeing Momo's departure, Eiji didn't go straight home, he took Lala for a walk in the city first.
They went on a date.
Under the afternoon sky with birds flying here and there.
Eiji took an excited Lala to a festival that happened to be held today. The festival site was located not far from the school, many lanterns were displayed on the roadside and many stalls selling food were also lined up.
There were a lot of people there, students returning from school were also found there, they mixed with the crowd of people wearing casual and traditional clothes.
Lala's eyes lit up seeing the sea of people and the many lights here and there.
"Eiji! Eiji! Is it always this crowded here?"
Eiji shook his head as they walked and held the girl's hand. "No, it's just that it's winter now. What you're seeing right now is the local winter festival in Kuoh city."
He looked at the sky. "Although it hasn't snowed yet on this date. People in every town in Japan are still holding festivals as usual."
"Oh~" Lala didn't really understand, but she pulled Eiji to the food stalls lining the roadside.
Lala's gaze focused on a red-colored food skewered with wood. Eiji naturally noticed the girl's gaze and bought it.
"Here." He gave the food to Lala.
Lala held the food and naturally tried to taste it by licking it first.
"It's sweet~ Is it candy?"
"Yes, it's called Apple Candy. It tastes sweet like apples, right?"
"Un~" Lala nodded, her tongue continued licking the candy apple like a cat and little by little the color of her tongue turned red.
[That tongue must be very sweet right now. I wonder how it would taste if I smelled it now?]
"Eiji, want to taste it?" Lala asked, her innocent smile looking slightly seductive.
Where did Lala learn this trick? Risa! It must be Risa! It must be that girl who taught Lala!
Seeing Lala's big green eyes and beautiful face smiling like that, Eiji couldn't stand it and subconsciously shifted his gaze to another food stall.
He pretended to cough and said, "You just eat it yourself. I don't like sweets. Let's try the other food at..."
Eiji didn't finish his sentence because Lala suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him in front of many people! Her sweet tongue even entered his mouth. Their tongues intertwined...
The taste of strawberries and apples exploded inside his mouth.
It was so sweet!!!
Hahaha!
¶{Host, calm down! You almost went crazy just because of a kiss!}
How could I not? Lala is so sweet. What man could resist?
¶{Damn... Is this man starting again with his Lala simp mode?}
Eiji ignored his system, he didn't even care about the envious and surprised looks from the people around him.
After 3 minutes, Lala finally finished kissing him, she separated her lips from his and smiled brightly.
Ah....
"Isn't that delicious? Do you still not like candy, Eiji?"
"I like it. I love it. Who said I don't like candy?"
"....."
Lala was already used to her shameless fiancé, she hummed and pulled him along for a walk in the festival. Eiji followed her, at every stall that caught Lala's attention, he stopped to buy the girl something.
As the sun was about to set and the sky was getting dark, Grayfia and Asia must have already cooked dinner, Eiji and Lala decided to head home. But on the way, they accidentally met two familiar people.
One was a blonde girl who was busy eating a packet of Taiyaki in her hand and the other was a blonde woman with glasses wearing a teacher's uniform.
"Eiji Seiya. Princess Lala."
"Eiji-san? Lala-san? You two are here too?"
The two of them were Yami and Tearju.
If you look closely, they look like two beautiful sisters who are strolling at the festival. After all, their faces and hair color resembled each other.
But put that aside.
Eiji widened his eyes slightly.
[Since when? Did I miss something? I know Tearju has started teaching as a teacher at the school and she's teaching first year students where Yami must be one of the students she's teaching.]
[But hey have the two reconciled so quickly? Although the two still have an awkward air around them, Yami definitely doesn't seem to hate Tearju like in the original work.]
[You two got together secretly unbeknownst to me?!]
Wait, they understood Eiji was surprised because he didn't know his inner voice all this time could be heard by them.
But that last one, you seem to be in trouble because of that?!
Yami just looked at Eiji and Lala flatly while munching on Taiyaki. What Eiji said wasn't entirely wrong, she and Tearju were practically reconciled. It happened yesterday when she came to her after teaching her class. The two of them talked and because she knew what really happened from Eiji's inner voice, she knew all this time she had misunderstood Tearju.
She didn't hate Tearju, it was just that she didn't know how exactly she should talk to that woman from now on. The two of them going to the festival was also only because she said she would go buy Taiyaki sold at the Festival in front of Tearju as if to tell her if she wanted to come along?
Their conversation was awkward, but Tearju was fortunately not stupid, she understood her code and here they were now.
"Tearju~! Yami-chan~! Hello~ Me and Eiji are playing here too!" Lala said, waving her hand at the two women excitedly.
Tearju smiled kindly, she had been staying at Eiji's house for a few days. She naturally knew Lala and she was a little used to the girl's cheerfulness.
However, Yami frowned, the assassin girl was not used to princess Lala being excited and seemed to want to pinch her own face.
"Princess Lala, please respect yourself."
Yami avoided Lala's hand and hid behind Tearju. Lala pouted "Eh~", she actually just wanted to pinch Yami's face because the girl looked cute.
Tearju laughed awkwardly, but she was actually happy that Eve was hiding behind her as if relying on her like when she was a child!
Eiji: Isn't that girl using you as a shield?
Just kidding, he certainly wouldn't say that, he smiled at the girls' interaction, but he frowned as he felt someone watching them from a distance.
To be precise, that person was staring at them, especially him with killing intent.
