Chapter 220: Unpleasant encounter
Chapter 220: Unpleasant encounter
They wondered which class the beautiful girl was from?
Some boys wanted to talk to her, but they were all ignored. The girl walked straight to a certain table.
Seeing who was sitting at that table, many male students had ugly expressions. Some of them cursed Eiji for monopolizing many beautiful girls in school.
"...." Eiji of course heard what those people were talking about. Tsubaki whose hearing was good as a reincarnated devil also naturally heard it.
But their attention was only on the girl who was now standing beside their dining table.
Unlike Tsubaki who was confused and wondered who this girl was. Eiji was a little surprised. "Kurumi, why are you here? And that uniform..."
Kurumi folded her hands, she looked at Eiji and then Tsubaki with a hint of jealousy before snorting. "After reporting yesterday\'s mission failure. Those old men thought my sister wasn\'t enough to supervise on her own."
"Not only that, knowing what happened to Takashi and Shiba. They told me to attend school here and get on good terms with you while keeping an eye on Mio."
"Is it okay for me to hear all this?" Tsubaki looked at Kurumi in confusion. Hearing the girl\'s name, she certainly knew the other party was the heroine who had recently been in contact with Eiji.
"You\'re Tsubaki Shinra, right?"
"Yes..."
"I know your identity. My name is Kurumi Nonaka. Hero of the Hero Clan, but don\'t worry. I won\'t interfere with the devil government in this school."
"...."
Tsubaki felt that this girl named Kurumi was too direct. Forget Eiji, but wasn\'t she worried about their supernatural conversation being overheard by the other students in the cafeteria? Oh, there was a translucent wind barrier covering the area around their table. It seems like it serves to keep people outside the barrier from hearing this conversation.
Is this the hero of the Hero Clan? She should report this to Sona later.
"Nice to meet you Nonaka-san. If you need help from the student council in the future, you can come to the student council office anytime." Tsubaki said, and her lips twitched seeing Kurumi who was originally standing sitting next to Eiji. It\'s not that she was jealous, she was just wondering if this girl started a rivalry with her?
Unfortunately this girl was too naive, compared to her. She had already gotten the green light from one of Eiji\'s fiancées (Sona), so she didn\'t mind the other party\'s actions and wasn\'t provoked at all.
"Let\'s see in the future, Shinra-san."
Kurumi knew who Tsubaki was because before this Eiji had also mentioned her name in his inner voice. Although it was her first time seeing her, she knew the background of this school. Just like the city of Kuoh, Kuoh Academy was actually ruled by two devil heirs from the Underworld.
The girl with glasses who was eating and previously feeding each other with Eiji was one of the servants belonging to the Sitri heiress, Sona Sitri.
After the two girls were introduced to each other, they looked at Eiji who was about to put udon in his mouth.
"...."
[I honestly don\'t care much about the Hero Clan. Judging from the way they sent Kurumi to this school. Instead of wanting to take revenge on me, those people seem to want to win me over with beauty? Even after I killed Shiba? Well... It\'s good to realize the difference in power at the beginning.]
[Since it\'s Kurumi, I\'m actually happy. The Hero Clan? Depending on the situation, I\'ll ignore them for now.]
"Kurumi, since you are now attending school here. That\'s good, let\'s have lunch together. Do you like udon?"
This man...
Although Tsubaki and Kurumi thought this was how Eiji usually was. Couldn\'t he be a little nervous in this situation?
But Kurumi did not refuse. Instead of ordering her own food, she opened her mouth to Eiji which left him stunned.
"Don\'t get me wrong. It\'s just that the rest hour will be over soon, it\'s better to taste your food a little to fill the stomach. Do you mind, Eiji?"
"No, of course not."
Eiji fed Kurumi with his chopsticks. The tsundere girl seemed happy to taste his food. Tsubaki on the other hand began to feel a little disturbed at the scene in front of her.
In the end, the other students in the cafeteria were forced to watch Eiji feeding Kurumi, and Tsubaki with the excuse of being full started giving her food to Eiji.
It was a strange sight, and Yuki who also happened to be there sighed seeing what her younger sister was doing.
"...."
Recalling the scene last night where she also saw Kurumi kissing with Eiji on the street, Yuki somehow felt uncomfortable.
She had to ask Kurumi what really happened to her and Eiji.
[Kurumi has joined the group chat.]
[Kurumi: What is this?]
[Rias: Welcome new members. Should I say that?]
[Sona: I don\'t understand how this group chat mechanism works.]
[Asia: I don\'t understand either, +1]
[Mai: +1]
[Mio: +1]
[Maria: +1]
[Tsubaki +1]
[Sona: Wait, Tsubaki. Since when have you been here?]
[Tsubaki: Sorry to hide it Sona, but it was since the beginning.]
[Sona: Who made this group chat? Besides having something to do with Eiji, I don\'t understand how that person chose these women who are here.]
[Lala √: Hm~ Maybe all the women here aren\'t just heroine, but they should also have a certain level of relationship with Eiji. At the very least, not on the opposite side of Eiji.]
[Lala √: Kurumi\'s only joining now because she\'s been doing this and that with Eiji until she\'s qualified to join.]
[Ding! Congratulations to Lala for guessing correctly!]
[People in group chat:....]
[Lala √: Yey~! Did I get a reward?]
[.....]
[Sona: I don\'t think so.]
[Lala √: Eh~]
[Rias: Too bad, Lala.]
[Asia: Don\'t be sad, Lala-san!]
[Mai: This chat group is stingy, just forcing people to join without any rewards. What did you expect?]
...
?{What did you expect? Do you know how much money I used to make all that? I even have to put up with my reward-hungry hosts every day!}
"Oi oi what\'s wrong? You\'re suddenly complaining about your host. Did you forget to turn off your mic?"
Eiji was dumbfounded, he had just finished lunch in the cafeteria with Kurumi and Tsubaki. While the two girls returned to their respective classes. He also returned to his class.
But this woman suddenly shouted as if someone offended her about money matters. Sure enough, for any creature, even Miss System, money was still a source of headache.
That is if they lack money of course.
?{Host, how about pretending that you don\'t have a reward for today?}
"What? What ridiculous thing are you saying? Didn\'t I have one after killing Shiba and capturing the three heroine in the original work?"
?{Tch!}
"...."
Woman, don\'t be a toxic system, okay?
?{Ding! It was detected that the host has changed the plot in the [Sister New Devil] franchise.}
?{Successfully changed the plot of [Sister New Devil] by 68% by killing one of the strongest antagonists, Shiba. And you also didn\'t forget to sleep with the three heroine in the original work, you even fucked them in the protagonist\'s house!}
Does the last one need to be mentioned?
?{Ding! Congratulations host, you got the upgraded version of Djin Baal!}
Djin? Eiji was not familiar with the name of this ability. No, after getting a description from the system—Djin Baal in question turned out to be a sword-shaped weapon with a hilt covered in blue dragon scales.
This was a high-ranked magical item from a certain franchise that allowed one to transform into a humanoid dragon capable of manipulating lightning and metal to an extreme degree. And with the modification of the system, the upper limit of this item was adjusted again to match his power.
No soul or Djin resided within the sword, she was free to use it and it at most only consumed his magic.
"Not bad, at least it\'s my first time getting a dragon-related reward. Wait, I remember keeping the Boosted Gear with the dragon\'s soul inside."
"Give the last one to one of my womans, I\'ll use Baal."
?{Host, you spoil those women too much, don\'t you?}
"Is it just me or do you have a problem with my women?"
?{It\'s just your feelings.}
Eiji doubted what the woman was saying. But for sure, she didn\'t mean any harm, she was just cranky because someone at her workplace might offend her.
Noticing the teacher in front of the class because Yui pinched him for it, the teacher explained that in two more days all the second and third year students would be going on a school trip to Kyouto. In short they were told to prepare from now on.
While the other students were surprised and excited. Eiji, Lala, Yui, Asia and the other girls living in Eiji\'s house were not surprised. With Sona living with them, the girl had told them earlier that the school was going on a study tour.
But Eiji wondered if the plot was still the same?
On the other side.
A busy shopping center street.
Grayfia who was shopping for groceries for dinner looked at the silver-haired man in front of her complicatedly.
"Nee-san, it\'s been a long time. You must be surprised. It\'s me, your brother, Euclid!" Euclid smiled at his older sister.
Jeanne who happened to come along with Grayfia for shopping looked at the two people strangely.
She stood beside Grayfia while holding their shopping bags and looked at Euclid warily.
"Euclid, it\'s been a long time. You\'re still alive. What do you need from me?" Grayfia asked, she wasn\'t really surprised because long before this Eiji had said something about her long lost younger brother being alive.
Although the man didn\'t say clearly, she guessed that the little dog that attacked Eiji that time was most likely related to Euclid.
Because of that, there was a slight chill in her eyes as she looked at her younger brother whom she hadn\'t seen in a long time.
Euclid didn\'t think there was anything wrong with Grayfia\'s cold stare, he thought his older sister must have been shocked that she was at a loss of what to say.
He looked at Jeanne beside Grayfia before saying. "Can you leave us alone? I want to talk alone with Grayfia."
"Huh?" Jeanne who was told to leave looked at Euclid unhappily. As a former member of the Hero Faction who was also affiliated with Khaos Bridge. In fact, she knew who Euclid was because she had met him several times. "No way! Although I know you might be Grayfia\'s younger brother. As Eiji-sama\'s maid, I feel that I should not let his woman be alone with another man."
"You\'re just a maid, how dare you--" Euclid was angry and wanted to scold Jeanne, she had no idea what the Hero Faction member was doing as Eiji\'s maid. But before he finished his words, Grayfia interrupted him.
"Enough! Euclid, what Jeanne said was right. If you want to say something just say it here. I don\'t want Eiji-sama to misunderstand."
"But I\'m your younger brother."
"It\'s the same thing. Other people won\'t necessarily know you\'re my younger brother. They\'ll still think there\'s something between us that Eiji-sama might misunderstand."
"...."
Hearing his older sister refer to Eiji obediently as if she was not only his maid, but also his woman. Euclid\'s expression became ugly, he was trying to suppress the jealousy in his heart from exploding!
Although he had denied many times that Grayfia had been Eiji\'s woman, he knew his sister had probably been defiled by that man.
\'Damn! Eiji, I will kill you. How dare you touch my sister, but before that...\'
"Alright, it\'s fine to let this woman hear it. But can we talk somewhere else? I\'ve actually booked a reservation at a restaurant not far from here."
"Grayfia, your younger brother is suspicious. He might be planning to frame you. Let me tell you, before this I\'ve seen him many times at the Khaos Bridge headquarters. If I\'m not mistaken, he\'s a subordinate of Rizevim Lucifer."
"Jeanne, why are you..." Euclid did not understand what was wrong with this woman from the Hero Faction. He missed the latest information about the group\'s failure, but the Hero Faction was still affiliated with the Khaos Brigde just like the Rizevim group. Why was this woman so stupid as to ruin his good deeds? She should at least pretend not to know!
"Grayfia, don\'t listen to this woman. I\'m your younger brother, how could I trap you? What for?" That was a lie, in fact he did have something prepared if the talk with Grayfia did not go well. But the premise was that the woman had to fall into the trap he set.
Grayfia looked at Euclid with a colder gaze, she was wary of course. She knew Euclid was alive, but she just found out he was a member of the most notorious terrorist organization in the supernatural world.
"Although I don\'t know if what Jeanne said is true or not. The stuff about you being Rizevim\'s subordinate is true, right?"
"Yes... I\'m not denying that. But it\'s our duty as devils from the Lucifuge Clan. Grayfia, you should also know, right? Compared to Eiji, you\'re better off coming with me to serve Lucifer\'s descendants."
Euclid immediately said his purpose. He thought that with Grayfia\'s current condition, she would be moved after learning of Rizevim\'s existence. He was just using that as an excuse of course because with his system, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed the original Lucifer.
Because of his confidence, Euclid wanted to take his older sister with him.
But he was destined to fail because...
Grayfia sighed. "So all this time you disappeared because you followed the descendants of the original Lucifer. That\'s good for you, you at least did your duty as the remnant of the Lucifuge Clan."
"You also joined a terrorist organization, that\'s your choice."
"But I refuse to come with you."
"Why?" Euclid asked in confusion. There was no way his older sister was really happy to be a human maid like Eiji, right?
Grayfia smiled faintly, that smile made Euclid mesmerized and even more greedy for the woman, yet he almost vomited blood at what she said.
"My name is Grayfia, only Grayfia now. Lucifer or Lucifuge has nothing to do with me. I\'m just a maid serving the Seiya Family. My only master is Eiji-sama."
"Euclid, I know you have enmity with my master. Since you are my younger brother, I will let you off once for this time. But next time, if we meet again and you are Eiji-sama\'s enemy. I will not hesitate to fight you and perhaps..."
The last was not spoken, but Euclid could see the killing intent in his older sister\'s eyes.
Euclid stood there in a daze, he didn\'t know what Eiji had given his older sister to make her crazy about him.
In the end he could only watch Grayfia and Jeanne leave after saying that.
He clenched his fists so hard that his devil power made people on the street faint.
"Grayfia, you forced me. Since you said that, I won\'t hesitate to follow Rizevim\'s plan."
