"You didn't buy it at the store, but you got it in the forest? How did you find it there?"
Lilith was a little surprised. She didn't expect that after Eiji defeated Hijiri yesterday he would go to a place like the forest just to get a necklace.
Although the appearance of the crystal necklace was beautiful, she didn't know what was so special about it.
Could it be a magic item that soone left behind in the forest? Lilith could indeed feel the magic fluctuations of the object, but the fluctuations were very small and were normal for a magic item.
However, Lilith didn't know. Inside the crystal, Hijiri had always suppressed her magic power as much as possible.
The girl was determined to hide herself. But at this mont, what Eiji said in his heart made her efforts futile.
[I'm an honest man and don't like lying to my won. Should I tell Lilith that the crystal necklace I'm wearing is actually Hijiri? More precisely because of the bad condition that girl has. Yesterday she would have vanished from this world if it weren't for maintaining her origin so that the crystal that holds a small part of her existence doesn't break.]
[Arata didn't know this, he didn't even think how Hijiri could show herself in front of him even though she was supposed to die from being sucked in by his black sun.]
[Hijiri really liked the person who had killed her. The protagonist's halo was very scary and one of the thes the girl had chosen was also most likely the reason why she was so crazy about Arata.]
"Lilith, would you believe if I said the magic energy inside this little thing intrigued so much that I went to get it?"
"...." Lilith didn't believe it. What Eiji said often contrasted with what he thought!
In his heart, he even called her his woman.
Eiji was shaless as usual.
Still, she was also dumbfounded. Yesterday she rembered Eiji saying that Hijiri was a ghost because she was dead and the man wondered if he should help the girl.
However, he returned to school without bringing Hijiri along.
At that ti Lilith and the other heroines speculated that Hijiri might not want to co with Eiji after being helped by her and chose to go sowhere unknown to them.
There were several other possibilities but they did not think that the girl had beco the necklace that Eiji was wearing.
Hijiri: "...."
She didn't know it wasn't just her who could hear inner voices. So now she didn't know why Lilith was looking at her with a surprised look.
Still, what Eiji said in the last part made her stunned. Co to think of it Arata was indeed the one who had killed her and she didn't hate him for it.
Before Eiji said it. She always thought it was because of her love for Arata. But the existence of the protagonist halo and one of the thes she herself chose made her doubt.
Putting aside the protagonist halo that she didn't know if it was true or not.
However, Hijiri knew which one of her thes Eiji was referring to.
That must be her Ruina the!
In the past when she chose to study this the, she knew this would make her care more about others than herself.
That was why she was so angry and willing to fight the entire world after witnessing Arata's future. She was furious and did not forgive the world for using her cousin as a pawn in the Magic King System.
That feeling pumped up her magic power even further. This was both a drawback and an advantage that the Ruina The gave its users.
Hijiri had never doubted her feelings of love for Arata before.
But now? She wondered if what she felt for Arata was love or concern driven by her the?
[Hijiri 4]
Seeing the notification from Le, the corners of Eiji's mouth lifted higher. It definitely wasn't because he managed to plant a seed of doubt in Hijiri's heart.
[Really?]
Ignore Miss System.
Everything said in his heart was a fact that was ignored in the original work because the author deliberately made the relationship of the protagonist and the heroines develop quickly while ignoring many details.
From the reader's point of view, this is not a big deal because many of them ca to see the protagonist surrounded by beautiful girls.
But from the point of view of the characters in the book itself is different.
Hijiri in the original work never even wondered if she really loved Arata?
And even though she wondered, she seed to deliberately drown herself in those feelings until she actually fell in love with her cousin.
Just like Eiji thought a few days ago. He knew it must be because in the original work Arata had no love rival. In the world of Trinity Seven, there were no teenage boys who were as good as him.
Arata was the only male mage less than twenty years old who was very strong and quite handso.
So girls like Hijiri and Trinity Seven who had no other choice didn't think too much and threw themselves at the boy.
In this life things were different because Eiji appeared. He seduced the girls several tis with his good looks and power that surpassed a Magic King Candidate like Arata.
With that it made sense now Hijiri began to hesitate in deciding who would be her future husband.
[Lilith 1]
"...?" Eiji was confused. Don't get wrong, he was happy Lilith's positive level was increasing which ant she was liking him more and more.
But why?
Hijiri was natural because his inner voice earlier told her things she didn't really think about in the original work and she probably felt grateful to him for that.
As for Lilith? He was basically telling her about the existence of Hijiri who was now his necklace.
[Host, you forgot that most won like nice guys who help people.]
Hearing what Miss System said, Eiji just rembered.
So that's why now Lilith was looking at him with a gentle smile even though he wasn't telling the truth.
"Let's just say I believe it. Eiji, is there anything you want to buy? I might be able to help you."
Although Lilith knew Hijiri was probably watching from inside the necklace. She pretended not to know.
Eiji didn't want to expose the girl's existence. Lilith didn't know the reason why. But whatever it was, she felt Eiji was very good because he actually helped Hijiri who beca their enemy yesterday.
What Miss System said was right.
Lilith was moved by the actions of Eiji who pretended not to know but secretly helped people without telling others.
Won like Lilith ate this set which made Eiji scratch the back of his head.
This action made Lilith misunderstand. She thought Eiji felt guilty for lying to her.
She didn't know the boy was just feeling his head itch a little.
"Hmm... I don't know what to buy. Actually I ca along just to watch my won shop." Eiji held his chin as if he was thinking about what to buy.
However, he was actually feeling the presence of several people following him and Lilith.
It wasn't Rias and the others who had previously co with them. Those won were shopping sowhere in this city.
And based on their magic power. The four people hiding in the bushes not far behind them were...
Eiji smiled faintly and suddenly held Lilith's hand which made the girl blush imdiately.
Hijiri who saw the two holding hands sohow felt sour.
"E-Eiji, why are you suddenly holding my hand?"
"Lilith, let's go on a date."
"Date?!"
Lilith's embarrassed shout was quite audible to the people walking around them. The people hiding behind the bushes included.
Still, a date?
At this mont, Lilith's heartbeat quickened.
She was too embarrassed to look at Eiji's handso face so she turned her flushed face to the side. However, she did not try to let go of Eiji's hand that was holding hers.
Eiji's hand was big and strong, giving her an indescribable sense of safety.
Lilith felt that as long as Eiji held her hand like this, even if the Goddess of Darkness Aryan suddenly appeared in front of them— she felt everything would be fine.
Lilith knew she had to answer. At the sa ti, she rembered that this man holding her hand had confessed to her several tis.
Although it had originally been a misunderstanding on her part and Eiji had often joked when saying it. His inner voice had told her that he liked her which sotis made her think of him at night.
Now Eiji was asking her out on a date.
"Yes, a date. Don't you want to, Lilith?"
"I..."
Lilith had no rejection in her heart. However, she didn't know soone expected her to reject Eiji's date invitation.
...
On the other side, or rather the manicured bushes at the edge of the park that was only a few ters away from Eiji and Lilith.
Arin, Levi and Yui looked at Arata with so concern.
They all crouched down to avoid being discovered by Eiji and Lilith. With the help of magic, they were able to listen to their conversation.
It was clear enough that they knew Eiji who suddenly held Lilith's hand had just asked the girl out on a date.
From Lilith's shy expression. The girls didn't think that Lilith would refuse.
However, there was one person who thought otherwise.
"Lilith can't possibly agree. She's a serious girl and a teacher at school. She often reprimands whenever I tease her. So this ti she'll also definitely reprimand Eiji for hitting on her, right? She'll refuse."
Arata mumbled with a panicked face and sounded like he was trying to convince himself. He was completely unaware that his voice was being heard by the girls who were hiding with him.
Before coming here. Arata was originally practicing magic. Arin and Yui were as usual encouraging him and he specifically asked Levi for help.
Unlike the original work where he asked Akio and learned the Enchant Spell from the Gula archive. The plot changes made him ask Levi for help first.
Levi, who is a mber of Trinity Seven, did not refuse. After all, it is the duty of Trinity Seven mbers to help the Magic King Candidate.
At least in this case, Levi didn't mind teaching Arata so of her magic techniques. This was usually very difficult for most people. But Arata had an Astil Manuscript that could copy soone's magic once he had an understanding of the magic he wanted to learn to a certain extent.
Within a few hours Arata actually managed to do it. He learned so Invidia magic from Levi!
Levi was even amazed by Arata's learning speed. He was worthy of being the protagonist of this world.
However, it was a pity. At that mont Levi couldn't help but compare Arata to Eiji, especially in terms of looks which made most won would choose the latter.
Levi still clearly rembered what she saw in Eiji's bedroom a few days ago that made her drool.
Cough! But putting that aside.
They were able to get here because after deciding to rest they happened to see Eiji and many people leaving with him towards the nearby city.
Levi felt Arata was pitiful. Of all the people in the group, he chose to follow Lilith and Eiji to see this scene.
And not only that. Arata didn't know the necklace Eiji was wearing actually contained the existence of his cousin whom he loved.
The boy didn't realize now he had just gotten two green hats.
"Arata-san, I think we shouldn't..."
Levi had just wanted to tell Arata to stop following Eiji and Lilith. Although she was also curious and wanted to continue watching, she was worried that the boy beside her would lose control of his emotions which made the Magic King Elent in his body go out of control.
But it was too late. Lilith who was silent for a while finally answered.
"Okay. But where are we going?"
"You know this city better, Lilith. Would you like to lead us to so nice places. Wait, you know what a date is, right?"
Eiji looked suspiciously at Lilith's cute shy face.
[Although in the original work Lilith is not such an innocent woman and earlier she shouted when I asked her out. I asked just in case because I'm worried that she doesn't know what people who go on dates do.]
The heroines:
Many of them feel unfair. That guy, Eiji asked a girl out on a date?!
Many of them who had joined Eiji's harem for a long ti had never even been asked out on a date.
Well, except for Lala and a few other girls. They all skipped the dating stage and went straight to doing lewd things with that guy.
Unlike normal won who would at least do it in stages like the letters A, B, C, D. They jumped from A, B to R, and S.
What is S? Well... It's sex.
Many of them were complaining and couldn't wait to drag Eiji out on a date after he returned. If not, that was fine... Actually making the man do whatever they wanted in bed wasn't bad.
Eiji didn't know many holigan won were waiting for him to return ho.
"O-Of course I know! Leave it to , I'll prove it to you, Eiji." Lilith squeezed Eiji's hand in annoyance.
This man underestimated her innocence. Wait, what did he an she wasn't that innocent?
Lilith felt Eiji was implying that she was a perverted woman who knew a lot about male and female relationships.
That was wrong but also true because her archive, Luxuria required her to research many aspects of adult matters. Lilith rembered Eiji once saying that he knew this from the original work which made her face even hotter.
Looking at Lilith who was dragging Eiji walking in a certain direction while holding hands.
"...." Ever since Lilith agreed to Eiji's date invitation, Arata was still frozen with an ugly expression.
At this mont, he couldn't help but rember his dream last night where he saw Eiji being served by all the Trinity Seven including Lilith.
Arata felt his recently heavy head grow heavier and sothing unknown leave him. Of course, this wasn't the first ti this had happened since he saw Lieselote kiss Eiji.
But...
Why? Why did Lilith agree?!
A few weeks ago before Eiji ca Arata rembered he had teased Lilith about a date. He was joking at the ti but Lilith refused with a red face while shooting him with her magic gun.
Arata thought Lilith was just too shy and she would have done the sa to any other man. However, he was wrong.
In front of his eyes even though Lilith looked very shy, she did not create her weapons out of thin air and agree to Eiji's date invitation.
Or rather whenever Eiji flirted with her, Lilith never shot the boy.
There was a clear difference in the way Lilith treated him and Eiji! Previously Arata would pretend not to notice but now he knew everything clearly.
And compared to Lieselote or Mira. What Lilith was doing now gave him a ntal attack that made his heart tighten.
He seed to like Lilith more than he thought so he lost his calm seeing her dating his friend, Eiji.
Arata felt his whole body was unwell at the mont which made Sora sigh in disappointnt. Her master's emotions were easily swayed by won which again made his magic unstable.
In her gremoire form, Sora gritted her teeth as she had to stabilize the boy's magic.
"Master, you keep losing control of your magic because of those won. Do you want to wake up the Astral Trinity again? Stay calm!"
