Hijiri's Choice

It is true that the Trinity Seven exist to serve the Magic King. But if they don't want to be with the Magic King, no one can force them.

Well unless the Magic King himself uses coercive methods that they hate.

Arata didn't do that or maybe not yet. But considering them as his property with their current level of relationship made many of them unhappy.

Not only that. Arata called some of them bitches just because they were on good terms with Eiji. They knew that jealous men were often unreasonable but the women who were called bitches were clearly unhappy.

Lieselote who didn't have a good relationship with Arata to begin with. At this moment she even sneered with contempt in her eyes which made Selina confused.

"Onee-chan, what's wrong?"

"Selina, from now on you shouldn't get too close to the Magic King Candidate."

"Eh why shouldn't I get too close to Arata-san?"

Selina who was eating a sandwich for breakfast tilted her head in confusion.

Lieselote patted the girl's head and said with disgust in her voice. "That boy isn't as nice on the surface, in his heart he thinks your older sister is a bitch."

"What?! H-How can Arata-san think like that? Onee-chan isn't a bitch even though she's naughty!"

Lieselote wasn't sure if it was a compliment from her younger sister. But it was true and seeing the girl's cheeks puffed up as if she was upset, even though she somewhat doubted Arata thought that way about her older sister, she believed what she said.

"Ah~ My Selina-chan is very cute. If you want to have a boyfriend in the future, you don't have to bother looking for one. Onee-chan will share Darling with you, I'm sure Rias and the others won't mind after all you're pretty too."

Lieselote hugged her younger sister. Selina who heard what the girl said choked up.

Share Darling? You mean Eiji?

It wasn't the first time Selina had heard her older sister say that.

But...!

Seriously?

Instead of immediately refusing, Selina hurriedly drank the glass of milk on the table with a blush on her cheeks that made Lieselote grin.

Selina didn't seem to refuse.

Darling, you're so lucky!

Mira and Akio's reactions were not much different from Lieselote's.

Their good impression of Arata dropped drastically and their disgust for the boy surfaced by several points.

Especially Mira who was disgusted yesterday because Arata was looking at her lewdly while hiding somewhere. Now she was even more disgusted with the boy who made her face very cold.

"Well Mira, you're going to scare the students with that expression." Akio said.

Although she now had a bad impression of Arata after hearing his inner voice earlier. She didn't show it on her face and looked as usual. Arata himself would not have noticed the woman's long legs getting further and further away from his grasp.

Still, Akio suddenly remembered something from their conversation in the dormitory bedroom last night and smirked before adding. "If Eiji sees it too, he might not want to include you in his harem."

Mira's frighteningly cold expression soon turned into a dumbfounded one.

She glared at Akio who was walking beside her.

"That has nothing to do with me! Akio, you think I'm interested in joining Eiji-san's harem?"

"You don't? Yesterday you seemed jealous when that guy dated Lilith-sensei and gave her a beautiful necklace." Akio teasingly asked the tsundere girl.

Ever since being rescued by Eiji in the previous mission, Mira would always be embarrassed if the topic of Eiji was mentioned.

That reaction was clearly that of a girl who...

"Of course not! I-I'm not jealous either. Akio, stop saying things that will make others misunderstand me and that man."

Mira yelled and complained, she tried to make a serious-looking face though the blush on her cheeks betrayed her.

Akio rolled her eyes. She knew the girl well and couldn't believe her words of denial.

That girl's heart had been stolen by a playboy. Don't get me wrong, she called Eiji a playboy not because he was a bad guy who played with the hearts of women who liked him.

So far, Akio knew Rias and the other women didn't mind sharing Eiji which meant the man had a harem. She called Eiji a playboy only because of his overly skillful actions in seducing a woman.

Eiji was an experienced driver!

Even yesterday when they were at the cafe, she was a little embarrassed because of his compliments. From his mouth, Eiji only called her sexy. But in his heart, he was complimenting her legs as if he liked them.

Either the man was intentional or not. But he managed to make her interested in him.

As for Arata? That boy was too confident. He thought he could make them fall in love with him just because he would show himself no worse than Eiji in the next mission.

What a ninja like Levi was thinking was too mysterious to investigate. But Arata's inner voice didn't affect Arin and Yui much.

They frowned at most and although they were a little uncomfortable with what Arata thought of them. They thought Arata was just in a bad mood because yesterday he saw Lilith kissing Eiji which made him vomit blood.

...

Arata who was taking his magic class seriously did not know Trinity Seven's favorability towards him had decreased.

And not only Trinity Seven. His cousin, Hijiri who heard his inner voice earlier also actually had a bad opinion of him.

Not because of what Arata thought of Trinity Seven. Yes, that too a little. But because that boy didn't think about her at all!

What happened between them two days ago didn't seem to be more important than getting other girls' hearts.

Hijiri felt that her sacrifice for Arata didn't have that much weight in the boy's heart that made her disappointed.

Hijiri did not realize it but she in the original work was actually satisfied as long as Arata had her in his heart.

[Besides being crazy and yandere. Hijiri is also a fool, right? Not only did she become a crystal for the sake of Arata who had killed her by accident. In the original work after Master Liber recharged her energy, she had another duel with Arata and ended in her defeat.]

[She lost and turned into the protagonist's new sword. I mean she really turned into a sword.]

Eiji who had finished his morning exercise with Celis and Kurumi remembered something and added fuel.

That naturally made Hijiri who had just been let down again by Arata surprised.

She in the original work did that?

Hijiri wanted to deny, especially about Eiji calling her a fool. But thinking of her in the original work who didn't meet Eiji. She knew she would probably sacrifice to that extent for Arata.

"...." Inside the crystal, Hijiri was in such a daze that she didn't pay much attention to her former gremoire who seemed to have completely defected.

"Ano... Eiji-san, when can I sign a contract with you?" Asked Ilia who had just entered Eiji's bedroom with Radix.

Celis and Kurumi had just come out for breakfast and met up with the other girls.

And although Eiji also seemed to have bathed and dressed. The bedroom was tidy but there was still a lingering odor. Ilia and Radix didn't know what that smell was.

"You really want to be my gremoire, Ilia? I thought you wouldn't mention anything about a contract." Eiji said with amusement.

He sat on the bed and stared at the two women in front of him. Radix stood with the posture of a follower as usual and she had no intention of running away even though she had the opportunity to do so many times before.

And Ilia? This green-haired woman was rather naive but cute.

[She's fit to be your concubine, right host?]

Miss System as usual liked to comment on the things her host was thinking and make others misunderstand.

Eiji didn't answer the question and ignored it.

"Ahaha... That, I... I just remembered. Isn't this my punishment? I have to be your gremoire and I'm not refusing." Ilia laughed awkwardly and put her hands together with an embarrassed expression.

"...." Eiji.

"...." Radix.

"...." Hijiri.

There was no one who believed her. Despite her apparent naivety, Ilia was clearly cunning. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to defeat Sora with her tricks.

About the contract. Eiji didn't remember that in the original work there was something like that because after Ilia agreed, she could instantly transform into another gremoire hanging around Arata's neck.

"Okay, what should I do? Drip my blood on you, draw a magic circle, or kiss you?"

Eiji didn't refuse, he didn't even ask "Are you sure?" to Ilia. Or rather he wanted to finish it quickly to go to the next plot. Oh and of course it's not a bad thing to accept another beautiful woman in his harem.

It's in line with his motto and...

[I remember Grayfia once complaining about the lack of labor in the maid corps. Radix and Ilia would be a suitable addition.]

"Oh? Eiji-sama remembers. I'm looking forward to those two women being sent home and am ready to train them at any time." Grayfia who was in another world said with a faint smile. Now she was making tea for the six beautiful guests who visited Eiji's house.

If Eiji was there, he would have recognized those women and said Isn't that the Jupiters Sisters? They had finished reconstructing their bodies.

His house would be even more crowded.

Meanwhile.

All the women in the room were dumbfounded.

Leave aside Ilia who couldn't hear inner voices.

Radix's lips twitched. She did agree to follow Eiji but when did she agree to become a maid?

She was a legendary gremoire.

How could she become a maid? Although Radix complained madly in her heart, she could not say anything about it to Eiji.

There was an annoying rule that prevented her from saying it. But if Eiji said it straight from his mouth. Would she be able to refuse?

Radix wasn't sure because in truth she didn't have much resistance as long as the man was willing to help her revive her master.

On the other side, Hijiri was only surprised to see Ilia who betrayed her right in front of her eyes.

Still, what Eiji said from his mouth was a bit wrong, right?

"Kiss?! No, none of what you mentioned is necessary to make a contract, Eiji-san... By the way didn't you once do it with Radix-san? Shouldn't you know?"

Ilia asked in confusion and there was a slight blush on her cheeks as Eiji said embarrassing things.

Although she was quite smart, she still didn't know why now Radix was shifting her gaze to the other side.

Eiji pretended to cough before saying, "I'm asking because I think the method for making a contract with each legendary gremoire is different."

"...So it's like that. There's actually no difference, you just need to let me connect with your magic. After that a new contract is successfully made."

"Although I still have a contract with Hijiri, I can't sense her magic anymore... She might have unilaterally broken our contract after I was captured by you Eiji-san and I can't refuse whatever you want to do to me."

Ilia said all that with a wry smile. She actually did not feel sad about being captured by Eiji and his group. During these few days, she was not treated badly even though she was a prisoner and had fun like a normal girl.

The only thing that made her sad was Hijiri who misunderstood her and probably hated her. The reason why she now wanted to make a contract with Eiji was only because she...

Ahem. Originally she was going to ask Arata since he was Hijiri's cousin to be her new master. But after everything that happened and she remembered that Arata had Sora. Moreover she felt that the current Arata had a worse personality? Well she wasn't sure.

But as Eiji said. It would be different if Arata had a rival like a boy who was better than him around those women.

So Ilia who was rational and not so influenced by Arata's halo protagonist felt it was better to choose Eiji as her master. Not only was he extremely handsome, he was also so powerful that a Magic King as powerful as Astral Trinity was humiliated by him.

People didn't know but when watching Eiji step on Astral Trinity and Arata's faces. Ilia felt the magic inside her body heat up. But that was nothing compared to her seeing Eiji having sex with those women every night.

For your information, she and Radix were also watching what happened last night from the next room.

So... Ilia was just following her heart.

She didn't know now that Hijiri was watching and listening to what was happening in the room. The blue-haired girl felt guilty for misunderstanding Ilia. It turned out that Ilia had been captured by Eiji and she had no choice but to betray her.

Among the women there, only Radix realized that the crystal necklace Eiji was wearing was Hijiri. She suddenly wanted to laugh but held it in.

Still at this moment—

[Hey what did Ilia say? This green-haired woman said all that as if I were a bad person. When exactly did I force you? You were the one who previously offered to do anything to you. As a normal, cultured and non-herbivorous man. I had no choice but to agree.]

[Hijiri is watching, you'll make her misunderstand me!]

The heroines:

Many of them fell silent. As usual Eiji was very good at being shameless even in his heart.

How could he use a normal, cultured and non-herbivorous man as an excuse to not be able to refuse Ilia?!

Moreover, they don't understand what it means to be a man who is not a herbivore? You don't like eating vegetables and only like eating meat? Wait, this is...

It turns out that's what he meant.

Perverted man.

No wonder you can't refuse.

Still, only Hijiri was now surprised because of what she heard. That man, Eiji seemed to know she was awake.

Since when?

He probably deliberately made her see everything he did with those women every night!

Thinking of this, Hijiri was stricken with shame like a child caught watching porn by her mother.

It was embarrassing.

[Host, now I realize it. Your whole life is filled with obscenity.]

"...."

Eiji couldn't refute what Miss System said. His silence was a very clear evidence of acceptance of the woman's words.

However, Eiji thought this was what a man should do.

And as the Harem King, it made sense that his life was destined to be filled with various colors. Especially the green color that he usually shared with other men like the protagonists.

Right, Leme?

[My king, I'm proud of you.]

See? Leme understands me very well. That's very different from a certain woman who likes to complain.

[.....]

Miss System decided to end this topic. Otherwise, she was worried that her host would keep comparing her to the loli who was her neighbor.

That was annoying.

"Connecting yourself to my magic? Sure, come over." Eiji opened his arms as if he was ready to receive a hug from Ilia who was currently staring blankly at him.

"...."

Not only Ilia, Radix and Hijiri couldn't help but think that the man was extremely shameless.

"...I just need to touch your hand, Eiji-san." Ilia said.

"Oh... Okay, do it."

Eiji looked a little disappointed which made the women amused.

[Radix +2]

[Ilia +3]

[Hijiri +2]

Hearing the notification from Leme, Eiji smiled in his heart.

The process was not long. It was only a few seconds before Eiji felt the connection between him and Ilia.

He wasn't surprised at all. But Ilia was different, she seemed very surprised.

Why? Of course it was because now she could feel how much magic power was inside Eiji's body. The amount she couldn't even correctly calculate was definitely beyond the True Magic King.

Or rather it was like a universe and Ilia was unable to explore it all because her own existence was too small.

That feeling was so overwhelming that Ilia looked dazed and stared at Eiji in a mid-breath. The woman's face was flushed like a drunk person which made Radix and Hijiri wonder what Eiji had done to her?

"Don't misunderstand. I didn't do anything." Eiji said.

"...." Radix and Hijiri. Okay but who opened their mouths to ask?

Even though it answered their curiosity.

"S-Sorry, this is the first time I've felt so much and overwhelming magic power. Eiji-san, are you actually an Evil God?" Ilia finally returned to normal although there was still a blush on her adorable cheeks.

Her question made Eiji's lips twitch. Why did people in this world call him the Evil God whenever they saw his power.

A few days ago there was Lieselote. Now Ilia too.

"I'm not an Evil God.

"He's a Demon Lord from another world." Radix said.

"...."

"Demon Lord from another world? Makes sense."

Ilia nodded as if it made sense. She felt happy that instead of choosing Arata, she chose Eiji as her master.

Radix suddenly pouted. She was obviously the first gremoire to arrive. But another gremoire had preceded her to make a contract with Eiji.

She felt a little regretful for pretending to be Eiji's gremoire even though she hadn't done so yet.

At that moment, Hijiri finally stopped pretending and showed herself in front of the three people in the room.

Ilia widened her eyes as if she had seen a ghost.

"Hijiri... you've been there all this time?!"

"Hehe Ilia, hello. Don't worry, I've heard everything not blaming you for making a contract with Eiji."

What Hijiri said made Ilia relieved and wondered why the girl could be there? Come to think of it the crystal on Eiji's neck earlier looked familiar to the crystal that Master Liber often played with whenever she asked where Hijiri was?

Hijiri immediately turned her gaze to Eiji who was now also looking at her. There was no surprise on the man's handsome face. He was really pretending all this time.

"Thank you for saving me, Eiji. You weren't lying when you said you could help me."

"You know now. So what do you want to do next?" Eiji asked Hijiri who bowed to him.

Although the blue-haired girl was wearing the same black robe when they fought before. Her demeanor was different, she was no longer arrogant and seemed humble which made Ilia dumbfounded.

Who is Hijiri? Except for Arata or her friends. Hijiri had never bowed her head to anyone because of her arrogance. Now the girl bowed her head to Eiji.

Hijiri raised her head, she looked at Eiji's handsome face which looked very calm nervously.

"That... I know my condition is only temporary and I remember in the forest before you said that you could heal me completely. I wonder what I should do for that?"

"You want to become a completely alive person again?"

"Yes, I will do anything for that."

Hijiri unhesitatingly replied. If it was her before she would be very wary of what Eiji wanted to do to her considering the Arata she loved.

But now? After hearing what happened to her in the original work and Arata disappointing her.

Although it wasn't enough to make her hate Arata and still care about him. For this time, she wanted to do the opposite of her Ruina theme.

She cared more about herself than her feelings for Arata.

Eiji tried not to smile so widely at the moment.

[What is this? The current Hijiri looked prettier and she seemed to be more sane than before. Hey this must be because of my great treatment.]

[Still this girl says she wants me to cure her completely and will do anything for it. It's not that I don't want to, but I'm worried that she'll still refuse and disbelieve after I tell her how my advanced treatment method is done.]

The heroines: "..."

Hijiri: "..."

Putting aside the other heroine. Hijiri was even more determined not to refuse whatever method Eiji used to heal her.

She had some guesses considering what kind of person Eiji was after seeing what he did so far but after he said his method.

Hijiri's face turned red, she didn't expect there to be such a perverted treatment!

And it could cure her? Rebuilding her soul and body gradually each time she did it without any side effects?

It sounded good but...

"Cough! Whether you believe it or not. It's up to you, I've already said the method and it's all I can do to truly heal you, Hijiri."

Eiji who had explained his divine treatment method said without shame on his face.

From the point of view of Hijiri, Ilia and Radix. The man did not seem to be lying.

Hijiri bit her lip and Arata's figure flashed in her mind even so she answered.

"I'm willing to do it. "

...

The Sky Library.

It was said that it was a library that watched over the entire world, organizing all its wisdom.

The library is surrounded by a barrier that makes it invisible to the naked eye.

This library warded off looters, as there were some incredible ancient weapons like the Magic King Weapon hidden there.

About an hour ago after Eiji did the first treatment on Hijiri in his dormitory bedroom and the next treatment could be done again later so that the girl now returned to being his necklace.

The principal suddenly summoned Trinity Seven and Eiji's group. The man with glasses had several missions related to the investigation of boss Aryan and one of them was also an investigation related to the fluctuation of the Magic King Element in the Sky Library.

So the group was divided. While the girls Eiji and the others took the initiative to take non-canon missions elsewhere.

Eiji followed the canon mission, or that's how he called the Sky Library plot which seemed like a reward for him.

Miss System, prepare two... no. At least three rewards for your host after I slap a mongrel in the sky!

[Err... Let's see then.]

Miss System's answer was not convincing.

Eiji rubbed his pants because his little brother was still a little excited because of what Hijiri did earlier.

Not only that girl. The curious Ilia also joined in and left only Radix who came out of the bedroom in a panic because she was still thinking about her old master.

By the way Ilia was now transformed into a gremoire that was small in size with a chain like a necklace.

Hijiri and Ilia were hanging from his neck.

This was a good day.

"Eiji, do you want to pee?" Arata who was walking beside him asked.

Eiji immediately stopped what he was doing elegantly and said, "No, just a little uncomfortable because of the things I did with my women earlier."

Eiji wasn't lying. He was telling a half-truth.

However, Arata had actually been feeling uncomfortable since an hour ago. And seeing Eiji like this, he looked at the boy with a bit of envy because he thought he had done perverted things with his women before they were summoned by the principal.

Arata's guess wasn't wrong but him not knowing the identity of those women would make him faint.

As a good friend, Eiji kept this a secret from the boy.

But he still felt the suspicious gazes of the girls who were now around him.

Except Lugh of course because unlike the others, her gaze was flat.
