The protagonist who started to blacken

At this moment Issei had no idea that he had just lost his opportunities.

His childhood friend and her beautiful friend didn't press the doorbell and went to his enemy's house.

If he knew this, he would have roared again like an incompetent.

Of course, he didn't know his inner voice was heard by the girls anyway.

Even so, ignorance was bliss because now Issei even seemed to be in a good mood.

Especially when looking at the bottle of clear liquid in his hand which was basically an anesthetic from the young-looking brown-haired and brown-eyed man delivering the package containing this and other things.

Maybe that young man worked part-time as a courier? He wasn't sure, but he knew the other party wasn't much older than him.

To be precise it happened not long ago, about half an hour ago.

"Excuse me, are you Issei Hyudou?"

"Yes, it's me. What's wrong with coming to my house at night?"

"Don't you see what's in my hand? I'm delivering package."

"Eh? But I didn't buy anything online. Maybe it's for my parents?"

"No, man. It's for you, someone sent this for you. Please accept this because I don't want to work overtime."

"O-oh, okay."

He accepted the package despite not knowing who sent it. But since he and even Ddraig did not feel any danger from inside the package.

He opened the package and saw two bottles and a piece of paper.

One of the bottles containing a clear liquid was an anesthetic.

While the other bottle containing red liquid...

According to what the paper said. It's something that can increase his power.

Not only that, the person who sent him all this seemed to be supporting him to fight and kill Eiji Seiya.

Knowing this, he was naturally suspicious, but he was also happy because according to Ddraig; the contents of the bottles were indeed real and had the function as written in the paper.

"Although I don't know who sent all this. Judging from the notes he wrote on the paper. He seems to have a grudge against Eiji and wants me to do something for him."

In addition to everything mentioned above, there was actually also information that Irina and Xenovia had already come to Kuoh city. And the note even gave him a plan to drug the two girls which made him think of this of course.

Then besides that, there was also another plan that was intended after he consumed a bottle containing a red liquid that could increase his power.

In that plan, he seemed to have to stand by the side of those people who in his previous life he knew were all villains.

"Even so, if I can get Rias and the others this way..."

He was tempted.

"Why don't I do it?"

... 

Right now, there were many stars hanging high in the sky and the moonlight was shining brightly. The weather was good for admiring the moon and stars, and Eiji was in no less a good mood than the protagonist Issei who was beginning to blackening.

Looking at the two girls in front of his door, the white-haired boy smiled.

"We meet again sooner than I thought. You guys said you wanted to go to Issei's house, why did you come here?"

The twintail brown-haired girl blushed, she looked at him doubtfully and said; "Sorry to disturb you, Eiji-san."

"We... Um... Actually..."

Unlike Irina, Xenovia said without hesitation.

"Eiji, can we stay for one night at your house? Don't worry, we will definitely repay your kindness later."

"Xenovia! Can you ask more politely?!"

Irina wanted to hit the blue-haired girl on the head.

The girl in question looked at her in confusion.

Actually in terms of politeness, although Xenovia didn't mean to be impolite. She was just too straightforward and always said what she thought without worry.

The white-haired boy did not take offense to the blue-haired girl's request. After all he knew what the girl was like from the original work and in fact he was happy that the two girls had actually come to him.

So why should he refuse?

"Sure. If you guys want to stay at my house, I don't mind. There are plenty of empty rooms in my house anyway."

"Eh? Really?"

"Thank you Eiji."

Unlike Irina, Xenovia immediately thanked him with a smile on her face.

The brown-haired girl also hurriedly thanked politely. The white-haired boy, Eiji let them in.

Inside the house, the two of course met with the others.

"Asia, guide these two girls to the bathroom and give them two empty rooms."

"Yes, Eiji-san, leave it to me." The blonde girl in light green pajamas stood up from the sofa. Earlier she was watching a movie with Lala, Kuroka in her cat form, and Peke who was recharging her battery.

These people were very relaxed.

Are you guys character from slice of life franchise without suspense? Well whatever.

If it's his womans, Eiji certainly didn't mind spoiling them.

As for Peke? She was Lala's robot companion and was actually more like a maid in this house. He also didn't mind pampering the little robot as she was very useful in doing household chores and other things like remodeling etc.

If it wasn't for the little robot, Asia, who is also the maid, would be overwhelmed with the duties of a one-person maid in his house which is actually more like a sizable villa now.

The size increased after Lala added more rooms and expanded the space using her advanced invention.

Irina and Xenovia were a little surprised when they first saw Asia as the girl was originally also associated with the Church.

After hearing the inner voice all this time, of course they knew the girl was the former Holy Maiden who had now become his maid.

Unlike in the original work where the two had a bad impression of Asia because the blonde girl joined the Rias peerage and became a reincarnated devil which was considered a betrayal of the God they worshipped.

Now they seemed quite friendly towards the girl and had even gotten acquainted.

"Are you Asia Argento, the Holy Maiden who was expelled from the Church? Sorry, it's all the fault of those evil people who pretended to be followers of God."

"You suffered injustice in the Church that has fallen into the hands of that devil. If you want, I can tell the pope of the Church I work for..."

"I'm sorry Irina-san, but I don't plan to work as a nun in the Church anymore. Right now I prefer my job as a maid at Eiji-san's house."

Asia interrupted Irina before the girl finished her words because she already knew what she wanted to say.

Irina smiled wryly, but she was a little panicked, especially when looking at the white-haired boy. "That's...I didn't mean to steal your maid, okay? Eiji-san, I just wanted to give Asia-san an offer if she might want to return to the Church."

Eiji shrugged and waved his hand. "That's fine. I won't force Asia to continue working in my house either. If the girl wants, she can come back to be a nun in the Church."

"But of course the Church I'm referring to is not the kind of dark Church that would use Asia as a tool to heal people again."

"Eiji-san..." The blonde-haired Asian girl seemed moved by what the white-haired boy said.

It made her want to become a nun even less and prefer to be his maid.

Eiji smirked in his mind, this was what he was aiming for.

Aside from getting some favorability points from Asia, he could also see that the other girls like Irina and Xenovia were looking at him gently.

"Hey hey~! I'm Lala Satalin Deviluke, nice to meet you guys~!"

And of course his pink-haired fiancé was also introduced to the two exorcist girls.

Except for Kuroka who was already asleep in her cat form on the sofa.

The house was quite crowded that night.

The next day, after having breakfast together. Irina and Xenovia hurriedly excused themselves to leave as they still had a mission to complete.

"Eiji-san, we will definitely repay your kindness after completing the mission!"

"Right Eiji, if you have anything you want. Don't hesitate to let us know."

Xenovia patted her large chest under her tight exorcist outfit confidently. After resting in his house, she looked very fresh and could probably kill 100 chickens with her fists in half an hour.

Irina was the same, she was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood, especially after hanging out with Lala and the others last night. Right now, she wasn't even depressed anymore because Issei didn't live up to her expectations.

Even so, the girl didn't seem to have given up and wanted to get Issei back on the right path.

That was just his guess at guessing the girl's psychology of course.

Holy mother...

Eiji didn't panic, he was just curious how Irina would react after she saw her childhood friend's actions in the near future.

After all, everything is still according to keikaku, I mean my plan.

By the way he didn't do anything to the two girls last night and the two girls were really just enjoying their stay at his house normally.

He was in no hurry and knew how to go forward and backward, unlike hentai protagonists.

¶{Is this comparison necessary?}

'...Actually it was just for a crisp joke. Miss System, ignore that.'

¶{....}

"Something I want? Hm..." Eiji rubbed his chin and looked at the two exorcist girls in front of him who looked sexy. He actually wanted to say 'I want you two', but he sighed and said: "Let's think about that in the future. For now, it's better to focus on completing your guys mission first."

"Take care and come back safely, okay?"

With a gentle smile, an active harem halo on top of his head, and his extremely handsome face.

From Irina and Xenovia's point of view.

They have the illusion that they are seeing spring with lots of cherry blossoms blowing in the wind before their eyes.

Both of them blushed, feeling moved by his concern and nodded absentmindedly.

Feeling her heart pounding, Irina felt complicated, and couldn't help but compare her childhood friend to Eiji.

It looks like it won't be long before Issei gets a new green hat.

After that the two actually left with reluctance in their eyes.

"...."

Speaking of the two girls' missions. Ah right, today another plot was about to start and it happened to be a red date which meant school was out.

In his room with a beautiful dark-haired woman on his lap.

"Kuroka, about your little sister. I think you should go see her right away because this is a good chance to make up with her."

"Nyaa? Right now? Going to see her just like that?" Kuroka tilted her head in confusion.

"Of course not, you'll be there to be the reinforcements that help your sister's side when they're in trouble."

"???"

That woman had recently told Eiji about her poor relationship with her younger sister, Koneko.

Although she knew the white-haired boy was just pretending not to know, she still told him so that she could ask for her help.

Even so, she was confused as to why Eiji told her to go directly to see her younger sister and said it was a good chance to make up with her?

The white-haired boy didn't tell her clearly, but his inner voice told her!

[There will be a battle at school today. It's related to the fallen angel, Kokabiel and his minions who want to start a war between factions by attacking the younger sister of the two Maou in the underworld.]

[While stealing objects belonging to church such as the Excalibur Fragment, he will also gather people from the church such as Irina and Xenovia at the scene.]

[That way, each person from each faction, including all the members of Rias and Sona peerage will be at the scene and Kokabiel will use this opportunity to trigger the war by killing the people who are there.]

[If he succeeded, it would definitely make people like Sirzechs and Serafall angry that their younger sister was killed by Kokabiel who was basically from the Fallen Angel faction. There are also two exorcists who will be dragged into those troubled waters and the angel faction will also definitely be involved.]

[I certainly don't want anything bad to happen to Sona and Rias, but those two girls want to solve their own problems and don't want to trouble me. With the current power of that two girls Kokabiel shouldn't be a problem. Well let's trust those two girls to handle this matter.]

"!!!"

Hearing this Kuroka of course finally understood.

Forget about other people, but if Rias is in trouble because someone wants to kill her. Her younger sister, Koneko who was in the girl's peerage would also naturally be involved, right?

"Kokabiel... If he and his people dare to harm Shirone, I will kill him myself, Nyaa!"

―Swoosh! 

Kuroka immediately jumped out of the second floor window and headed towards her younger sister's school with murderous intent in her cat's eyes.

There was no need to ask if she was okay jumping from the second floor of his house. She's a nekoshou, okay? Besides she's much stronger than ordinary humans.

Just like a cat that hardly dies when it falls from a height and can still run afterward as if nothing happened.

Nekoshou may also have this ability and it must be an enhanced version.

Eiji who saw this smiled. To be honest now he felt that he had really become the villain behind the scenes.

But no, just kidding. He was also certainly planning to go to the stage that he had beautified with more people than the original work.

But that's later, no need to rush.

¶{I'm a little excited, host!}

"Glad you're excited, but what about my reward? We didn't check it last night."

¶{Ah? Right, wait a minute!}

Next second.

¶{Ding! It was detected that the host has changed the plot in the [Highschool DxD] franchise by 18%!}

¶{Trigger Critical Reward!}

¶{Ding! Congratulations host, you got an organization from another world "Shadow Garden"!}

―Pufft!

"Not only got more numbers, but an organization? Tell me, Miss System. Are you giving me this because I pretended to be Shadow before?"

Eiji was surprised, after all this was the first time he got a reward that was not an object or ability. What he got this time was an organization which means there are many people in it!

Thinking of Shadow Garden in the original work, he actually knew very little about that organization. But he knew that the organization was actually founded by the protagonist named Cid and he was the one he had copied his outfit from back then!

That's Shadow, dude!

In addition, he also knew some members of this organization. For example, the seven beautiful women that the protagonist managed to make his subordinates, especially that golden-haired elf named Aplha.

"Damn it. I'm getting excited about this instead of thinking about the plot I've modified!"

Eiji was excited, he was exactly like a child who got birthday presents from all his schoolmates at school.

The reward this time is too wild!

As expected from my system.

Miss System is very generous!

She must be a very beautiful and rich woman!

¶{.....}

Getting so many waves of praise from her host, a smile broke out on the golden-haired woman's face.

Compliment me more!

"Eiji~! Asia and I promised Yui to go shopping for new school supplies at the mall. Can you drive us?"

His pink-haired fiancé and the blonde girl beside her came up to him.

Eiji was in a very good mood this morning and coincidentally there was still time before the plot started.

―Mwah

―Mwah

He kissed the cheeks of the two beautiful girls in front of him.

"Hehe~" Lala smiled silly while holding her cheeks.

"Wawawa! E-Eiji-san, why all of a sudden..." Asia blushed and became a shy girl. But she secretly smiled while holding her kissed cheek.

The latter didn't refuse the kiss, that's good.

If Eiji asked the blonde girl to exercise in his room, he was sure the girl would not refuse.

But put that aside.

He looked at his pink-haired fiancée and said, "You guys want to go to the mall? Okay, I'll take you guys! This time, let's use a car instead of teleportation magic."

"Yeay~!!"

Lala cheered happily when her fiancé agreed to take them shopping, but his next words left her confused.

And is it just her or is her fiancé more excited than usual?

"By the way Lala, what do you think if I become the leader of the organization?"

"Eh? I don't know, but... That would be cool~!!"

... 

In the dark basement.

"There's no reason to fail in the next stage of the plan, okay?"

"With those swords, it should at least be easy for you guys to deal with all the reincarnated devils belonging to the heirs of Gremory and Sitri."

"There are also two other exorcists who also have the rest. What about the last one?"

A tall, pale-skinned man appeared quietly. He had long black hair and slanted red-colored eyes, five pairs of black wings and elf-like pointed ears.

He was the person that Eiji etc. had been talking about lately.

One of the leaders of the fallen angel faction who had his own ideas to start a war between the factions.

Kokabiel.

Now she was staring at the two people in front of her with an expressionless face.

Both of them could be called his men in the plan he had prepared.

"Kokabiel, don't underestimate me even though I'm not as strong as you. Everything is ready. As for those two exorcists? They're just juniors and I can kill them while getting the other two Excalibur Fragments -ZE!"

The one who said that was a man with white hair and red eyes. He wasn't Eiji of course, cough. He was Freed Sellzen, a former stray exorcist and also a former Artificial Human since he was currently a Chimera.

"Hm... All the targets mentioned, no problem. We can start anytime."

The one who said that lightly was a short, bespectacled old man with gray hair, a mustache, and black eyes, who was wearing a priest's outfit.

He was Valper Galilei, former principal investigator of the Holy Sword Project. After he was exiled by the Church, he became a member of the Grigori who were now under the command of Kokabiel.

Hearing both of them answer confidently.

Kokabiel nodded.

"Good. Then now let's―"

―Boom!

Just as he was about to say to start moving, but someone suddenly broke down the door of the basement. No, the other party blew up the secret basement door that was made of thick iron and had even been reinforced by his barrier magic!

They all naturally became vigilant, especially when they saw the shadow of a humanoid in armor behind the explosion smoke emitting a red aura.

It was fine if it was just that, but the problem was that the other party's aura was so strong that it made everyone break out in a cold sweat, even Kokabiel felt it!

His instincts screamed that the intruder who broke into their hidden base was a very powerful person!

But as a survivor of the Great War, he was not afraid and immediately took out his light spear that contained enough divine power to blow up several buildings in a single strike.

Freed and Valper had even taken out their respective weapons which were basically the three Excalibur Fragments they had stolen from the church.

They were ready to fight at any moment, but the voice of a very arrogant young man came from behind the intruder's armor which was now clearly visible that it was red.

"I don't seem to be in the wrong place? You guys are really here. Don't get me wrong, I didn't come here as an enemy."

"...Instead, I came here to participate in your guys plan that caught my attention!!"

"Kokabiel, you step down from the leader position because I will be the leader in this plan from now on."

Who is this person?

Suddenly coming and wanting to steal his position as leader?

Kokabiel frowned, feeling annoyed at this arrogant person. He threw his light spear, but the other party suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed his light spear!

―Shatter!

His light spear was destroyed with ease!

"Looks like you need to be beaten up for you to realize how much our powers differ? Kokabiel, no. All of you, forward!"

By the way, don't forget to throw power stones and leave a review to motivate me :)

A/N 2: Guys, I just want to say that I quite regret the next few chapters after this. This Kokabiel arc is something that I myself am not satisfied with and I'm sure it's to the dissatisfaction of many. But here it is, I've finished it on my Patreon and the people there have already gone through it and started enjoying the mental attack plot on Issei that makes people want to laugh at his stupidity. Well, I'm also quite regretting that Shadow Garden reward, but I've already finished it in a few chapters on Patreon. Don't worry, it at least won't be highlighted too much and it won't be so cringe like Eiji will act like Shadow or something. No, he doesn't and the people in the organization will only help him to assist him in planning mental attacks on the protagonist and other small tasks. The focus of the heroines was still the heroine of DxD and To Love Ru! Okay, I'm done taking precautions by writing such a long thing. Keep your spirits up, you can skip 4/5 chapters of this arc. Please be patient unless you want to join my Patreon because there I have already passed the Kokabiel Arc and am doing a mental attack on Issei which definitely involves perverted things hehe. Greetings Green Hat :)
