"By the way Lala, where are the others?"
He had been unconscious for three days. So there's no way the girls aren't worried about him, right?
Not that he was narcissistic, but knowing his inner voice was offline for several days. Just from this alone, the heroines must be at least worried about him, especially the girls in his harem.
Hearing Eiji's question, Lala began to explain the situation when he was unconscious.
It was basically true that the girls were worried about him. Yui, not even long ago visited his house this morning to see how he was doing. Then yesterday, precisely on the second day. Rias and Sona came because they realized something was wrong.
The two girls were shocked to see him unconscious, they tried casting a lot of healing magic and even dripped some water called "Phoenix Tears" into his mouth. However, it was no use as he wasn't even injured in the first place and was just unconscious from eating Lala's cooking.
Speaking of "Phoenix Tears", it was the highest-level healing item in the underworld that only the House of Phoenix could produce. One drop of "Phoenix Tears" was very expensive in the underworld and the quantity was also limited for some reason. For Rias and Sona's family, money was not a problem.
However, even for their family. They didn't have many "Phoenix Tears". If they wanted more, they would have to buy more from the House of Phenex which would be quite difficult to convince in this situation; because there was also the matter of Rias wanting to stop her marriage to the young master and heir of the Phenex family.
Riser Phenex, that man would also definitely not want to give Rias and her family the "Phoenix Tears", even if offered a lot of money.
And about his relationship with Sona that Riser already knew. Riser also probably ordered his family to blacklist the House of Sitri from selling "Phoenix Tears".
That's just an assumption of course, but the reality is quite shocking.
Rias in fact brought a box full of "Phoenix Tears" and said that the House of Phenex had given her family - specifically her - a lot of "Phoenix Tears" for FREE by Riser.
Riser certainly didn't know the circumstances, but it just so happened that he gave Rias plenty of "Phoenix Tears" to offer them to her with the request that he had to make him back into a man. Riser was even generously willing to cancel his marriage with Rias as long as he could make his sword work again!
Ah... Eiji finally remembered what he had done to the man in their last meeting.
At first he thought Riser was too arrogant and it was impossible for him to do things like give Rias a lot of "Phoenix Tears" and "cancel their political marriage" just to persuade him.
But unexpectedly, since Riser couldn't raise his sword anymore. That man was willing to give up his pride so that he could heal him!
Riser must have known he made him like that without realizing it, and surely only he could make him back to normal.
After trying many ways to make his sword work again. In the few days since then, he must have given up and chosen to lick him.
As for what Sona did? Knowing the "Phoenix Tears" were useless. She enlisted the help of her older sister, Serafall!
That magical girl had also come to his house and checked on him with her abilities. No idea what she did, but she told all the girls that he was fine and it was only a matter of time before he woke up.
Well that at least made the girls feel relieved and they just had to wait.
Probably because of his inner voice before he was heard.
At this moment, a magic circle appeared inside the bedroom.
"Eiji-chan~!"
There were also several other magic circles that followed.
"Onee-sama! Are you here? Ah... Eiji, you're finally awake!"
Two women he recognized appeared. One of them was the woman he hadn't seen in a long time, Magical Girl Serafall.
The other woman was one of his fiancées and the younger sister of the woman above, Sona.
*Knock* *knock* *knock*
"Eiji-san, I'm coming in. I brought you some porridge."
The blonde girl in the maid uniform entered the room in a normal, Asia.
"Nyaa? Eiji, are you awake?"
Don't know since when, but from earlier Kuroka in her cat form was already under his blanket!
She seemed to have just woken up from her nap.
"Sorry to interrupt. I'm here to check on Eiji-san's condition in place of Rias and her peerage who are busy participating in the Rating Game today."
All eyes immediately fell on the woman with surprised gazes, especially Serafall.
"Grayfia! You're here too?!" The magical girl almost dropped her magic wand, even saying in a pitying tone to someone. "Sir-chan is pitiful..."
Sir-chan? That must be Sirzechs.
"...." Grayfia's lips twitched, from the way people were looking at her, even though she had already explained her purpose for coming here. She knew these people doubted her somewhat and thought she had come here to cheat on her husband. "Serafall, didn't I say it clearly? I came here actually at the request of Rias who is worried about Eiji-san. So please don't misunderstand anything."
Sona sat beside his bed and held his hand as the older sister and the silver-haired maid faced each other. "Eiji, are you alright?"
Eiji smiled at the attention of the girl with glasses. "I'm fine. I just woke up from a longer sleep than usual."
"Really? Nothing hurts?"
"Nothing."
The girl with glasses let out a sigh of relief. Seeing the worry replaced by relief on her face, Eiji couldn't resist kissing the girl's cheek.
"W-Why all of a sudden? You know, there's Onee-sama in front of us..." His second fiancée blushed, her gaze kept glancing at her older sister who fortunately, or so it seemed, did not see what happened earlier. Otherwise, she knew her older sister would be quite noisy.
"Eiji~! Eiji~! I want to too!" His first fiancé, sitting on his other side while begging for a kiss like a child. And of course, he gave her what she wanted.
"Hehe~" His first fiancé was very easy to make happy.
"...." His second fiancé squeezed his hand slightly. Eiji kissed her cheek once more which made the girl pretend to cough with her hand covering her smiling mouth.
The former was like a little girl, and the latter was like a teenage girl who always wanted to pretend to be an adult.
"Um... Eiji-san, I put your porridge here." The blonde-haired girl who served as a maid in his house, put the porridge on the table, and reminded him again that she was jealous - although she didn't realize it because she was still rather innocent in that part.
"Ah, thank you Asia. I'll eat it later." Although he didn't need to eat porridge since he wasn't really sick. But, if his blonde maid had already made him one, why should he refuse?
He would definitely eat it up unless it was something Lala made!
"???" His first fiancée suddenly tilted her head in confusion. Oh, the sixth sense of women.
I thought it was just nonsense, but it seems to be true.
"Jiii~~"
Eiji felt a gaze from under his head and saw that Kuroka was looking at him while pretending to be a cat.
It seemed like she hesitated to change into her humanoid form when there were famous people in the underworld like Grayfia and Serafall in the same room as her. The former is the wife of the strongest Maou in the underworld, and the latter is one of the Maou in the underworld.
As an SS-class stray devil who was basically a fugitive in the underworld. Kuroka must have been trembling a little and worried that if she revealed her true form; those two women would arrest her or something.
Though there were also other women she should at least be wary of - for example Sona who was the heiress of the House of Sitri in the underworld. But seeing that the woman was obedient like a wife beside her, Kuroka was not wary of the girl with glasses and even let her stroke her head.
'Kuroka...the one petting you is one of the heirs of the House of Devil in the underworld, you know? Well even if something happens, I will definitely protect you too.'
What he said was actually transmitted through magic and only Kuroka heard it.
"Nyaa~" The cat woman seemed happy to hear what he said, and lay lazily on his lap without fear now.
"...." Seeing his girls looking easy, Eiji was happy and he thought [Halo Harem] must be working.
¶{Host, host, is it just me or are you getting more handsome?}
'I'm glad you complimented how handsome I am, Miss System. But hey are you sure you're not affected by [Halo Harem]?'
¶{Pfft! Hahaha no, no...there's no way that thing is working on me.} Miss System said with very confidently.
'Even so, your words resemble someone who is about to raise the flag.'
¶{....}
¶{Rather than that, isn't it about time you stopped the two women who are arguing?}
Eiji knew Miss System was changing the topic as usual. And to be honest unless Miss System was a real person, he also did not have a fetish for fucking his own system like certain protagonists.
"Grayfia, I didn't expect you to~" The magical girl looked at the cold-faced silver-haired maid with a seductive gaze. "Poor Sir-chan~"
Hahahaha!
He didn't expect Serafall in this world to be quite such a tease.
It made him who wanted to talk to the two pause and watch with the others.
"...." Grayfia's expression did not change, but she looked at the woman who was cosplaying magical girl with slightly raised eyebrows that made her look annoyed. "Serafall, I told you it's not like that. Stop making people misunderstand. I came here just to check on Eiji-san's condition as per Rias' request."
The magical girl giggled, she then looked at him and widened her eyes slightly. "Did you hear that, Eiji-chan? By the way, it seems like you're already fine. You had my Sona-chan worried from yesterday."
Her gaze looked at her younger sister and him sitting on the bed so closely. There was a hint of jealousy in her eyes, and she looked at him with annoyance.
Was this woman still a little unwilling to let her younger sister be with him?
Yare-yare....
"Eiji-san, thank goodness you're awake now. Looks like you're doing well." The silver-haired maid carried a fruit basket in her hand and gave it to Asia who was clearly a maid like herself.
[Hey are these people seriously treating me as a sick person? Asia made me porridge, Grayfia brought me fruits].
[I love getting attention from these beautiful women, but seriously, I'd rather you guys give me a kiss or a hug.]
His first fiancée was the best. She immediately gave him a kiss on the cheek and a hug.
His second fiancé was too shy to do the same as Lala in front of many people, especially her older sister, but she held his hand while rubbing it a little.
Kuroka did not know when, but she seemed to have fallen asleep in her cat form. How could this cat woman sleep in this situation.
Asia stood beside the bed while pinching her maid's skirt. Her green eyes were filled with doubt and embarrassment that left her stunned there.
Serafall and Grayfia's lips were twitching. No idea what the two women were thinking, but they were looking at him with relieved gazes as if they were glad he was okay.
Is this the power of [Halo Harem]? Damn, that's pretty good!
Putting Serafall aside, but Grayfia was a married woman and now she was bothering to visit another man who was not her husband. Although that woman said many times that she came here at Rias' request, but she could have refused, right?
When Rias and her peerage played the Rating Game against Riser. In the original work, the silver-haired woman should be the Mc/host of the Rating Game. But now that she's here, the Mc/host of Rias' Rating Game against Riser must be replaced by someone else.
From the woman's pink lips that looked fresh. It seemed like she had also recently applied a fresh coat of lipstick on her lips before coming here.
Sirzechs.... if you see what your wife is doing...
No wonder Serafall seemed to keep teasing Grayfia earlier, even though the silver-haired woman had explained many times, but as a fellow woman; she must have also noticed the fresh lipstick on the silver-haired woman's lips.
So Sirzechs, you are getting closer to your green hat.
Eiji was in no hurry, he smiled at the silver-haired maid. "Thank you for the visit and the fruit, Grayfia. You said Rias and her peerage are doing a Rating Game against Riser today."
"I heard Riser was supposed to have given up earlier for some reason. Why are they still doing the Rating Game?"
Magical girl seemed to complain. "Hey I obviously asked first, why did you talk to Grayfia first? Eiji-chan~!"
Ignoring Serafall who was puffing out his cheeks like a hamster. The silver-haired woman smiled slightly, she seemed a little pleased with his action to prioritize her over the magical girl.
¶{Host, you're getting good at seducing other people's wives.}
'.....' Eiji.
Grayfia seemed to understand what he was asking. She also knew about what he had done to Riser so that his sword could not function normally. Even about Riser giving Rias a lot of "Phoenix Tears", how could such a thing not be known by the people in the House of Gremory and Phenex?
"About that. Although Riser had originally made a request to stop his marriage with Rias to the people in the family."
"It was too late because many devils in the underworld had already been informed about the Rating Game and the news of Rias' Rating Game match against Riser had already spread almost throughout the underworld."
"So it would be troublesome if the promised Rating Game was suddenly stopped and many people in the underworld might take offense thinking the House of Gremory and Phenex were playing a trick on them."
"Well, to avoid such problems. Rias and Riser still have to do Rating Games to entertain the people who come to watch their Rating Games."
Hearing Grayfia's explanation. Eiji nodded, he understood and felt there was nothing wrong with it. Noble families often attach importance to face, the Gremory and Phenex families are also basically the same.
Although whoever lost or won in the Rating Game would make the names of the two families somewhat dirty, but it was still much better than offending many people in the underworld for giving false news about the Rating Game.
Political stuff.
Unless you have the power to silence everyone without worrying about any consequences.
You still have to care about the rules and someone's face.
Other than him, Srizcechs also had the power for that. But well...the man must have PTSD after participating in many wars in the past which now made him dislike violence, and prefer restraint as long as the peace of the underworld could be maintained.
Unlike before, Eiji now didn't mock Sirzechs for that, instead he was grateful that the man had such PTSD symptoms because he made him have the opportunity to woo his wife.
Looking at the silver-haired woman with red eyes and voluptuous figure clad in a French maid uniform.
Eiji sighed mentally.
It was hard not to be greedy for such beauty.
After Grayfia finished with her purpose to "completing Rias's request". The woman did not stay longer, and soon excused herself to return to the underworld. Sona and the others were the same, although Serafall was a bit troublesome to persuade and it seemed like she was very much avoiding the topic of the duel bet they made a week ago.
So after making sure he was fine, the woman immediately pulled her younger sister back. Her younger sister looked a little reluctant, but she obeyed her older sister with a kiss goodbye to him.
Which made her older sister stare at the two of them with a hint of jealousy. Not knowing who she was jealous of between the two of them was still a question.
Except for the people who lived with him. The others had already left, and the people in his house, including him were about to relax as usual in the house.
This happened to be Sunday, so it was a good day to relax, right?
For most people, yes. But for him...
{Run... I know you're in there, in that man's body.}
{Although it's a bit disgusting to do the same thing as in your previous life. But if it's to make you fall in love with me, why not?}
{Ren, you bastard! Don't run away! Let me kiss you! To get Run's heart, we have to kiss a little!}
"....." Many of the heroines shuddered at this. Some of them even looked pale.
"...." Eiji sighed.
This is Sunday.
Although sleeping for three days can also be called a vacation for him, but this and that are not the same, okay?
To be honest, he almost forgot about the protagonist after chatting with the beautiful womens before.
Now Rito...
[Rito, what are you doing?! Do you seriously have a hobby like that? Damn, this protagonist...]
[Although in the original work I know Ren has two people in one body because of his alien race.]
[Whenever Ren sneezes, he will turn into a woman named Run who is basically a different person.]
[In the original work, they could eventually separate the bodies and become two people without having to become one.]
[But that's in the future, and now...now Run is still a personality inside Ren. I remember in the original work, Rito did accidentally make Run fall in love with him because of an accident that made him kiss Ren.]
[That's disgusting, and now it seems like Rito is deliberately chasing Ren so he can kiss him?!]
[Oh my... I feel sorry for the girls who liked Rito from the start. Haruna, if she knows the boy she liked in middle school is now obsessed with kissing a man...]
[There's also Rito's younger sister Mikan who I don't know how she'd react if she knew what her older brother is doing now.]
Hearing this, the two girls in question naturally sprang into reaction. No, they were already in reacting when Rito's inner voice explained what disgusting things he was going to do.
