Chapter 52: Girl in bunny costume & Sirzechs who are starting to feel green

This was the first time they had heard a man admitting to being a bastard with pride.

Surprisingly after hearing this, Riser’s anger subsided slightly and he immediately returned to the underworld with his peerage in a daze. No idea what he was thinking, but he still didn’t realize his sword could no longer be used.

The crimson-haired girl, Rias immediately threw herself at the white-haired boy and kissed him passionately.

Other than Yuuto who immediately looked away awkwardly in the other direction. The other girls felt sour. Except Sona of course, since she had just kissed Eiji and even received a gift from him.

The bespectacled girl knew her fiancé was a bastard, even the person in question admitted it and she herself had fallen too deeply for the bastard. So instead of being troubled by her fiancé’s bastard nature – she was just relieved that her fiancé was at least a responsible bastard so she didn’t have to worry about being forgotten when he had more women.

Other than Sona who refreshed her view on Eiji a little. The other girls were also more or less the same.

*Cough*

A familiar voice was heard.

“Rias, I know you like Eiji-san. But please remember you’re still engaged to Riser.”

“Please don’t go too far, okay? At least until you’re completely free.”

Who else but the expressionless Grayfia? The woman lectured the crimson-haired girl. And the girl in question stopped kissing her boyfriend with a frown and looked at her brother’s wife.

“I understand… Grayfia.”

“That’s good.”

Eiji shrugged at the two women’s conversation. He kind of knew that the rules for an engaged woman were quite strict in the underworld. However, did Grayfia not know Rias had even done anything more than kiss another man besides her fiancé?

[Remember the episode of protagonist Issei having a mental attack in the student council office? That time Rias gave me…]

“….” Grayfia looked at Rias.

“….” Rias turned her gaze in another direction. Actually, aside from being her brother’s wife and somehow serving as the head maid at the House of Gremory. Grayfia was also her education teacher since childhood and that woman was quite scary when disciplining her!

Actually this was also one of the reasons why she spent more time in the human world instead of staying in her family home in the underworld.

Grayfia sighed, she certainly remembered a few days ago it seemed that Rias was often mentioned in the inner voice for doing such things with Eiji.

Naturally she looked at the white-haired boy and the other party also looked at her with a smile.

[I don’t know how old Grayfia is now. But she still looks beautiful and looks to be in her twenties at most.]

[Her snow-white skin is without wrinkles and looks very smooth. Her silver hair is also very beautiful, making her as beautiful as an elf in a maid uniform.]

[However, it’s a pity that such a beautiful woman is already married…]

“….” The heroines.

“….” The corners of Grayfia’s lips lifted slightly. Who wouldn’t like to be complimented that she was still beautiful and young regardless of her age? However, she felt the need to hurry away for fear of betraying her husband. Although she knew Eiji seemed to be interested in her in his inner voice, and she was also actually a little interested in him after seeing what he had done earlier.

She felt a little immoral thinking of another man younger than her husband.

Seeing Grayfia hurriedly excuse herself to leave and teleport to the underworld.

After the woman in the maid uniform disappeared.

“Eiji. Grayfia is my brother’s wife.” Rias couldn’t help but say this again to her boyfriend. She was worried that Eiji really wanted to steal her brother’s wife!

Eiji pretended to be confused. “Rias, what do you mean? I’m not interested in other people’s wives. Do you think I’m the type of man who would steal another man’s woman?”

“”Yes.”” Not just Rias, even the other girls gave the same answer. Not long ago they even saw Eiji steal Rias from her fiancé.

“….” Yuuto gave Eiji a gentle smile.

No, Yuuto. Stop giving me that smile. You can only smile like that at the protagonist.

Eiji didn’t want to get too close to the blonde boy and was glad he had managed to spice up the heroines – especially Grayfia who had gone home with some favorability points that seemed to be quite high on him.

?{Ding! Congratulations host! Grayfia’s favorability on you increased to 60 points!}

“What nonsense are you talking about, Miss System? Not long ago you said you didn’t have that kind of feature.”

Eiji naturally didn’t take what his system said seriously this time. However, he knew he had managed to leave quite an unforgettable impression on Grayfia and Ravel’s hearts today. In the future, Grayfia couldn’t help but compare herself to her husband he knew – Sirzcehs would disappoint his wife with some things and he would seize this opportunity to seduce his wife.

As for Ravel? The girl might be a little afraid of him because of what he had done to her older brother. But he knew she didn’t hate him, or rather she would probably think of him often from now on.

Two seeds had been planted directly on the two heroes. The rest he had to diligently water using the inner voice.

?{I know you realize the heroines hear your inner voice. Can you just say it clearly, host?}

Miss System gave up first. She stopped pretending and raised the topic with her host.

“Indeed. I knew those heroines could hear my inner voice.”

?{{When exactly?}

“I’m not sure, but it must have been early on when Lala was looking for me to be her fiancé and I grew suspicious after Rias and Sona often took the initiative to approach me.”

“If I’m not even suspicious after all this. Aren’t I just as stupid as a certain protagonist that I often mock?”

?{…..}

“By the way, I wonder why you’ve been keeping this a secret from me, Miss System?”

Although her host’s tone did not sound angry. Miss System felt guilty and panicked.

?{Ugh… Sorry, host.}

“Oh? Why are you apologizing, Miss System?”

{I…}

Miss System struggled to answer and eventually fell silent.

Eiji wasn’t angry, he was just a little dissatisfied with his system and was now on his way to his home – but didn’t forget to go to the supermarket first to buy dinner ingredients. Rias and the others had also returned to their respective homes as the sun had set. Before going home Rias told him that tomorrow she and her peerage would be busy practicing for the Rating Game and would definitely miss school. The girl was also excited to practice the spells he gave him and invited him to visit her in the underworld tomorrow if he had free time.

He said yes to the girl and there was also Sona who said that her parents wanted to meet him. If he had free time, he should visit his future in-laws in the near future. Now Eiji had two summoning cards with the logos of the House of Gremory and Sitri in his pocket which served to teleport him directly to the underworld – to be precise each card would teleport him to his future in-laws’ respective homes which gave him bit headache.

As a responsible bastard, he should definitely visit his future in-laws’ house. But not now, not anytime soon because he knew tomorrow there was still another plot he had to sabotage to get rewards from the system and to benefit himself.

Damn, even though he was quite strong now. He was still a bit overwhelmed because of his relationship with the heroines. Even so, being greedy, he also didn’t want to give up on continuing to grow stronger and get more heroine! Especially the heroines in his world. Kiana and there are also…

?{Um… Can I say something, host?}

Miss System interrupted his inner monologue, and he raised his eyebrows. He had just come out of the supermarket with a plastic bag in his hand and he was actually planning to teleport straight to his home. Lala, Asia, and Kuroka must be waiting at home and he had to get back soon.

“Miss System, what’s wrong? If it’s about you keeping something a secret. So far I haven’t experienced anything particularly detrimental because of your actions. But next time you’d better tell me right away except about your background which I know you definitely don’t want to tell me – at least for now.”

?{Host, why are you always so good at guessing?}

Miss System was helpless. Her host was a strange person who always wanted to avoid acting stupid like the few protagonists he knew. I don’t know what grudge her host had in his previous life against the protagonist to make him become like this.

“Is this the question you meant? If it is then I don’t need to answer.”

Eiji looked around and searched for an empty alley to teleport to. But Miss System immediately shouted to stop him.

?{No! Not that!}

“Then what?”

?{Host, I just wanted to let you know that there’s a heroine not far from your location!}

“Heroine? Can’t I go home now? I’m not in the mood to work overtime today.”

Eiji sighed. Obviously he was quite strong now, but why did he feel like his head was getting a bit of a migraine? Oh, right. There was a heroine who seemed to be in trouble and needed to be helped by the protagonist which of course he had to cut first before the protagonist did.

?{A few seconds ago. Who said–}

“Okay, okay. Where is the heroine? And who is the protagonist? I’m sure Rito and Issei are still ‘busy’ in their respective homes.”

Busy? Busy with what? Obviously they’re healing themselves from the mental attack from you, host.

Protagonist Rito might be better, but protagonist Issei? He seems to be still lying on his bed for a few days and still hasn’t woken up until now.

Miss System rolled her eyes and said: ?{To your right, exactly 20 meters away from you.}

Eiji turned his head to the right. He was actually on the side of the road right now where there were quite a few people and vehicles passing by.

Because the sun had set and was replaced by the moon. The sky was of course already dark and many lights of houses, buildings, or lights on the side of the road had also been turned on.

But putting that aside, he crossed the street and passed through many people to approach the location Miss System mentioned. And she ended up on the side of the children’s park which of course was already very quiet because it was already night.

Walking into the children’s park slowly. Eiji tried to remember if there was a plot related to children’s parks at night in the anime To Love Ru or Highschool DxD? The latter probably didn’t exist, but the former had some. However, it could also be that this heroine might be from another franchise? Well he didn’t know before seeing which heroine was hanging out at the children’s park at night.

Usually in this kind of plot the heroine is probably depressed, has family problems, love problems, or some stupid problem that could have been solved easily – but the heroine is so complicated that simple problems give her headache.

“Well where is that pretty girl?”

?{Pfft! Host, you sound like a bad guy who wants to kidnap a girl at night}.

“….”

Laugh, you laugh. Who recently made the mistake of hiding something?

?{Sorry… I’ll be quiet and just watch my host in action!}

Hearing the sycophantic tone of his system, Eiji rolled his eyes. This children’s park was quite large and there were many small buildings made for children’s play that blocked his view.

He was about to use Varvatos’ [Search] magic spell to detect the presence of people around him, but it seemed unnecessary because it was not far to his left. He could see a girl sitting alone on a swing that was not moving.

Under the moonlight, the girl appeared to have waist-length black hair, purplish-blue eyes, milky-white skin, long legs and a slender figure with breasts that were neither too big nor small. Her figure looked like a model which of course could be said to be very beautiful. As a heroine, her beauty is above 85 points.

The girl was just sitting on the swing in silence with a dazed expression and furrowed brows that proved that she was thinking about a certain problem in her mind.

Even so…

[Is it necessary to sit at night in a children’s park alone while wearing a bunny costume with a troubled expression, yet at the same time showing off your voluptuous figure as if luring a pack of wolves?]

[As expected of heroine. When they have problems, they often lack the brain cells to put themselves in unfavorable situations.]

[This beautiful girl… I recognized her at a glance. She’s definitely the heroine, but not the heroine of the To Love Ru franchise or even Highschool DxD.]

[She….]

“….” The heroines.

What? Can’t you finish your words in one breath?

“…?” The black-haired girl sitting on the swing lifted her head and looked around only to see not far from her a boy with white hair and red eyes standing while looking at her.

“!!!”

For some reason the girl looked surprised, even more surprised when she heard the inner voice that she usually heard often.

Eiji who saw the shock on the girl’s face didn’t care. He didn’t walk over, but waved one hand.

“Hey pretty girl over there! Sorry, did you see my black cat running around here? She ran into the park earlier.”

?{…..}

Very good at deceiving a girl.

Miss System knew at this point that her host had started pretending again!

…

At the same time.

“Lala-san, I found a white package containing groceries at the door.” Asia who was wearing an apron and holding a duster in one hand. Picked up the white package with her other hand and brought it to the living room.

“Oh? Those must be the dinner ingredients teleported by Eiji! He met heroine on the way and seems to be late getting home.” said Lala who had just finished bathing and was as usual sitting in front of the tv with a bottle of milk in her hand. There was also Peke who was seen helping Asia with her maid work from the start.

Asia wasn’t surprised to hear that Eiji met heroine on the street because she already knew that Lala could also hear inner voices like her. So instead of asking about that, she asked: “So should I cook using these ingredients now?”

“Un! Of course. I’m already hungry, Asia. Let’s make dinner~!” Lala was excited.

Asia smiled and said, “Alright Lala-san, but please let me cook dinner with Peke. You should wait while watching TV with Kuro-chan.”

“Meow~” Kuroka was lazing on one of the couches meowing – she was still pretending to be a pet and wondering when exactly would Eiji come home? She felt it was better to show her true form to the boy soon.

“….” Lala fell silent.

Seeing the blonde girl who immediately went to the kitchen and her robot assistant, Peke even went to help the girl in the kitchen.

Lala who was now sitting with Meow-Meow Black-Kun (Kuroka) in front of the TV blinked her eyes and wondered what she should do in order to cook?

She wasn’t that stupid, okay? Asia had obviously forbidden her from helping with the cooking because she knew her cooking skills were terrible!

Picking up her D-Dial, she felt it was time to call her younger sisters – exactly one of her younger sisters who might be able to help her out with this problem!

“Meow? (That girl named Lala…what is she doing? She seems to be in a hurry nyaa)”

Despite her curiosity, Kuroka soon lost her interest in peeking at what the pink-haired girl was doing and lay down again lazily on the sofa.

…

“So to solve the problem of her political marriage, Rias-chan challenged Riser to a Rating Game? It was indeed a good idea and wouldn’t cause too much trouble for the house of Gremory and Phenex if the marriage was successfully canceled.” A man with long crimson hair with a handsome face and a gentle expression mixed with astonishment said.

He was Srizcehs Lucifer, one of the four Maou in the underworld, the strongest Maou in the underworld and Rias’ older brother. Currently, he was originally busy taking care of paperwork on some political matters in the underworld as a Maou. Stopping work for a moment and looking at his wife and at the same time his Queen in his peerage who had explained what happened when Riser visited the human world to meet his younger sister.

“That’s if it works, but what if Rias-chan doesn’t manage to defeat Riser in the Rating Game? Grayfia, you said Rias-chan is very confident? Are you sure it’s not because of her arrogance?”

Facing the question of her husband who kept saying “chan” and “chan” when referring to her younger sister. Grayfia was expressionless and said, “Yes, Sirzechs-sama. I’m sure Rias is confident for a reason and not just because of her vanity.”

Then she also added. “It must be related to her boyfriend whom she found in the human world.”

Remembering Eiji, Grayfia had recently heard his inner voice and it seemed like the boy was busy with a certain heroine somewhere.

Although she knew the boy was a self-confessed bastard, but she was a little surprised by how hardworking he was to pursue the heroines out there.

After all it had not been an hour since they parted ways at Rias’s school club, yet the boy was chasing after a new target? And it seems to be a heroine from another franchise?

Seriously? How many franchises were there in this world…just thinking about it made Grayfia a little dizzy. She was dizzy thinking about how many heroines including herself and the protagonist were out there.

Sirzechs didn’t know his wife was thinking about another man, he looked curious and asked. “You said the name of the boyfriend Rias-chan is referring to is Eiji Seiya, right?”

“What do you think of him, Grayfia?”

For some reason her husband’s eyebrows were slightly raised, although he was smiling gently as usual. Grayfia knew at a time like this Sirzechs was upset.

She sighed, she knew Sirzechs was too fond of his younger sister, you could even say a bit siscon. When Rias was engaged to be married to Riser. Sirzechs was certainly not happy and if it wasn’t for the fact that he was a peace-loving person – he would have used his own power to solve any of his sister’s problems or even his family’s problems.

It was just that Sirzechs had always been like this. Even if he was upset or angry, he would not dare to appear domineering and would be submissive as long as the underworld remained peaceful. Something like a war between the houses of Gremory and Phenex was certainly something he did not want to see – even if it meant sacrificing the happiness of his younger sister, Rias.

There was nothing wrong with that, it was just that her husband – Since the end of the war, he seemed to have become more submissive, causing her to secretly harbor feelings of disappointment towards her husband.

Her once dominating husband on the battlefield was long gone and replaced by a handsome man who was powerful but submissive. When the old devils in the demon council kept ordering him to do things for the “underworld” – even though Sirzcehs was at a disadvantage, he obeyed them!

Grayfia sighed again, this time mentally before saying: “Eiji Seiya? He’s so handsome, so strong, and so domineering… Rias seems to like him a lot. And the heiress of the House of Sitri, Sona Sitri is actually engaged to that boy. Both of them like and have a relationship with the same boy.”

There were also other girls, heroines to be precise. But she didn’t mention this because she felt it was unnecessary. After all, even her husband’s face now had a very surprised look on it.

“….” Sirzechs was indeed surprised to learn that his younger sister, Rias had such a relationship with a boy who was already engaged to another woman. Especially since that woman was still a friend and devil heir from another family – Sona Sitri, the younger sister of Serafall who also had Maou status in the underworld like himself.

But the reason he was so surprised, was not just because of that. The biggest reason he was surprised right now was because he heard his wife who rarely praised people, especially men other than her husband. Grayfia was now praising another man in front of her husband and he even saw a faint smile on her beautiful expressionless face while praising the boy named Eiji Seiya!

Although it was just a compliment, Sirzechs felt a little uncomfortable and his head was a little heavier than usual.

The latter was probably just his hallucination. There couldn’t be something like a green hat or something on top of his head, right?
