Chapter 567: The protagonist Basara wants to defeat his stepfather

Hearing what her host was thinking, Miss System rolled her eyes.

What boss would be afraid of their employees?

She wasn’t afraid at all!

But whatever, she was too lazy to argue further with her host.

[Ding! It was detected that the host had changed the plot in the “Food Wars” franchise.]

[Successfully changed the plot of “Food Wars” by 44% by making the heroine Erina acknowledge the existence of your God’s tongue and become increasingly interested in you even though she doesn’t show it because she’s a tsundere girl.]

[The same goes with Alice. And even though Hisako and Leonora aren’t heroines, you made them admire you!]

[All those women including Rindo had a good impression on you thus affecting the future plot! You also unintentionally ruined the reputation of protagonist Soma who had tasted your dishes and had his confidence as a chef shaken.]

[You’ve ruined many of the protagonist’s future opportunities in just half a day at Totsuki Academy.]

[Compared to Soma, Senzaemon is also more interested in investing in you after hearing you have good cooking skills and the same god’s tongue as his granddaughter.]

44%? That’s fast.

However, Eiji thought it was reasonable.

After all, unlike other franchises. The plot in Food Wars was already halfway through which meant that some of the plots where the protagonist who just came to Totsuki Academy was skipped. And it seems that plot changes in the franchise depend on things around the protagonist.

In short, we are talking about how Soma’s fate with Erina and other characters who have deviated from the original work because of things that someone did.

That someone is Eiji of course.

For example, in this life, Erina is more interested in another boy like him than the protagonist Soma who during the entrance exam once made his god’s tongue happy with a dish he made.

But that’s it, Erina’s impression of Soma can’t even be said to be good. It was the same as in the original work before the plot reached a certain arc.

However, that particular arc had yet to begin and before that happened, Eiji had done a hero save beauty that made Erina think of him often day and night.

This was tantamount to eliminating Erina in Soma’s list of potential wives. The same goes with Alice, Hisako and Rindo even though in the original work’s ending, the protagonist are still single.

But as the saying goes, it is better to prevent than to regret later. As a cultured man who disliked licking the protagonist, Eiji believed and followed the words of the wise man who made that saying.

He—Eiji Seiya was a disciple of the sage!

[Besides being a disciple of the sage, you’re also actually a disciple of a famous comedian, right host?]

‘Miss System, don’t speak harshly to your host. Hurry up and give me my reward.’

Eiji wouldn’t admit that what Miss System said was half true. I mean in his previous life, he liked to watch stand up comedy on television when he was bored.

Although many of those people had boring jokes, there were some of them that made him have his own style of jokes.

In short, I was inspired by those people.

Thanks to them I avoided being an overly serious protagonist and acting like a bad actor who only knows how to follow an old-fashioned script.

Who is that? I don’t know.

[…]

Miss System was a little worried that her host would be besieged for thinking of things that could potentially offend many protagonists out there.

But… Whatever.

I’m just the system!

I don’t know this guy!

So if you want to deal with him, don’t count me in.

[Ding! Congratulations host, you got the “Power of Shadow Monarch”]

“…..”

Eiji covered his mouth with one hand and looked down slightly with shoulders that seemed to tremble.

Why? It was because he was trying to hold back laughter! If he laughed, wouldn’t his acting as the protagonist’s best friend collapse?

At this moment, Basara who had processed all the shocking information wanted to say something.

His expression was still ugly and he said, “Eiji, if what you said is true… Did you do it on purpose to play me?”

“Not only my mother, Sapphire. You also wanted Raphaeline to be…!” He didn’t finish his words because he found that Eiji lowered his head slightly so he didn’t see what expression he was making.

But from the movement of his hands and shoulders, he seemed to be holding back laughter. The veins bulging at Basara’s temples, he suspected that Eiji was toying with him.

Not satisfied with his two younger sisters, three childhood friends, and even his aunt. That boy was too greedy and evil, he also wanted both of his mothers and wanted to fuck them!

Basara admitted that he was no match for Eiji.

But that was in the past because after he returned from the Demon Realm three months ago, he diligently practiced every day and his power had improved a lot since the last time he and Eiji fought.

After hearing what Eiji said earlier, he felt annoyed and wanted to beat him up because why not? Even though the boy knew Sapphire and Raphaeline were his mother and his father’s woman.

He was greening up his father!

He gave the man two green hats!

Basara himself felt himself getting green and wanted to vomit blood.

Although he was happy that Eiji had saved his second mother from the Divine Realm, he seemed to have seduced that woman during her stay in his house…

How could he not want to punch him in the face?!

“Ehem! Basara, you misunderstood.” Eiji raised his face and pretended to cough before saying.

He had a guilty expression on his face even though he almost laughed because the reward Miss System gave was clearly too coincidental.

That woman said the rewards were random as usual but in fact? She worked hard in choosing rewards that her host would probably like.

And yes, I like it.

Miss System gave him the same power as that guy! More precisely the protagonist of the Solo Leveling franchise. Shadow Monarch was the name of the job he got from the system.

But that name also represented his power and his nickname as the strongest Hunter and one of the most powerful beings in his universe. Originally the man was a very weak Rank E Hunter, but after finding an opportunity in a life and death situation in a dungeon like the protagonist.

He grew at a rate that would make many other Hunters vomit blood and eventually married the most beautiful Hunter in the world. His abilities are diverse and cover many aspects like any cheating character in the game but the most prominent is the ability to manipulate shadows!

For example, he was able to extract shadows from the corpses of his enemies and make them into his army.

Of course, it’s no ordinary cannon fodder army. Each shadow would have half or more of the power that his enemy corpses had.

This ability was called “Shadow Extraction”.

A very cheating ability.

And since Eiji got it from Miss System, there were some things that had been modified to make it more convenient. And even stronger than the original work!

Miss System, your love for me is so heavy! Should I draw up a marriage license between us now for future preparations?

[Stop thinking about nonsense. It’s just a coincidence, okay? Don’t be so narcissistic!]

Miss System… Are you a tsundere?

But that’s okay, I have a high tolerance for pretty tsundere.

Miss System: You haven’t even seen my true appearance. Where did you get the confidence that I’m a beautiful woman?

She refrained from asking this but peeked a bit into her host’s thought process. She knew the man knew because of a silly thing called the beautiful woman sensor. Some sort of sixth sense.

“Misunderstood? Really?” Basara asked seriously and narrowed his eyes. The green aura like the green hat on top of his head slowly began to condense from his body.

It danced around him.

The air on the school roof became heavier and if ordinary people were to come there now, they would faint and have some of their bones broken.

But Eiji? Of course, the green aura released by Basara was not even enough to tickle him.

He still seemed to have a guilty expression on his face but his body did not bend in the slightest.

The protagonist Basara was a little distressed when he saw this and wondered if his current power was still not enough to defeat Eiji?

Although he was not serious yet and was waiting for a satisfactory answer from the boy before deciding what he would do next.

“Basara, you probably think I’m deliberately seducing Sapphire and Raphaeline even though I know they’re your mothers, right?”

“That’s right.”

You did, right? Basara thought.

Eiji shook his head and said excitedly as before. “You’re wrong!”

Basara was getting annoyed because he couldn’t judge whether Eiji was joking or serious because his guilty expression and cheerful actions were contrasting!

Should I use Brynhildr now and unleash my dimensional slash on him?

[Protagonist Basara suspected that I had seduced his two mothers, Sapphire and Raphaeline on purpose after I told him the relationship I had with them. Slander! It’s slander!]

The heroines who heard this were dumbfounded because it seemed like Eiji and Basara were in conflict somewhere?

Many of them including Mio, Maria, Yuki and the other heroines of Shinmai Maou no Testament were curious and wanted to be spectators while eating popcorn.

They were not at all worried about Eiji’s safety because they knew how thick his skin was.

For example, you could try slicing his skin with a knife and instead of him getting hurt and bleeding, the knife would break!

Still, Eiji said the things Basara said were slander. Many of them didn’t believe it because it wasn’t true!

Sapphire and Raphaeline whose names were mentioned were of course dumbfounded.

The former was anxious because didn’t that mean Basara had found out his mother had sex with his friend?!

The latter was confused because she still did not remember that she had given birth to Basara and did not have many feelings for him.

What surprised Raphaeline the most was…

In Eiji’s house, the TV room where several adult women including herself were watching a Korean drama.

“Relationship? What kind of relationship do I have with Eiji?”

“Although we have a good relationship, the relationship I have with him is not the same as other women.”

Raphaeline wondered but then she felt two hands placed on her shoulders.

Those hands belonged to Venelana and Shuri.

“Don’t think about it too much, Raphaeline. Eiji was probably just too excited when he talked to Basara.”

Excited? Are you sure he was just excited and didn’t do it on purpose to stimulate that boy named Basara?

As a Goddess, Raphaeline was not so stupid and naive. She was actually aware of Eiji’s interest in her and she was enough to like the boy.

Moreover, Eiji was the one who had freed her from the Eternal Prison so she had a good impression of him.

But considering the relationship he had with her cousin, Chisato/Afureia.

Raphaeline felt awkward if she had to share a man with her cousin!

So after living in Eiji’s house all this time, her and the boy’s relationship had not had much development.

“Ara Ara. Instead of thinking about that, why don’t we buy some pretty and sexy clothes.”

Shuri suddenly suggested shopping online with a tablet in her hand.

Her intention? Venelana understood.

Lady Phenex and Sheila who were also there looked at Shuri with silent understanding in their eyes.

“Huh? No, I have enough clothes that Afureia gave me. I don’t need to buy….”

“Fufu. Don’t refuse, Raphaeline. This is a way for women to have fun and deepen the friendship between us.”

“Venelana is right, count me in.”

“After all, we’re all family!”

The last three were Venelana, Lady Phenex and Sheila who were urging Raphaeline.

Their real purpose was to make Raphaeline even more attached to this family and unable to run away to look after their sister like her cousin.

They did a wingman operation and thought…

Eiji, you should thank us by cooking for us after you get home from school!

…

Eiji didn’t know the Milfs in his house were doing operation wingman and it was for the sake of the dishes he cooked?

If he knew, he didn’t know if he should be happy and laugh?

“Basara, there was a situation that made me have such a relationship with your two mothers. It just happened and rest assured, I did not force them into a relationship with me.”

“Sapphire and Raphaeline did it willingly. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them.”

From beginning to end Eiji never said that Raphaeline was also his woman like Sapphire. At least not yet and he was sure it wouldn’t be long before that happened but one thing was for sure, they really did have a good relationship.

So what he said wasn’t wrong, right?

He was telling the truth and it was up to Basara whether or not he misunderstood what he had told him.

But yeah…

Basara had clearly misunderstood and thought Eiji had fucked both of his mothers!

Although what the boy said was quite convincing, he was still upset and wanted to vent his anger.

“I see. I’ll ask them including Raphaeline. I can meet her, right?”

“Of course, I don’t mind. How could I stand in the way of a reunion between mother and son?”

“What’s more, we will become family in the future.”

Eiji said that without blushing.

Basara fell silent.

Eiji was so shameless!

That boy dared to say that when he had hidden his friend’s mother in his house for two months.

“I don’t agree with that yet and let’s see later. For now…”

Protagonist Basara took out his sword, Brynhildr and set up a fighting stance.

The green aura on his body was becoming increasingly fierce so that Rias, Sona and the other supernatural beings in the school could sense it.

Although before Basara and Eiji met on the rooftop, the former had created a barrier that heroes usually used to fight in public places to prevent ordinary people from getting hurt and not let them see the fight taking place.

This meant that from the very beginning Basara had foreseen that he could not resist beating up Eiji.

“Eiji, let me beat you up.”

“Sorry, but I’m not a masochist. Even so, you can do it if you have the ability, Basara.”

[Even if it’s my stepson, I won’t allow myself to be beaten up on purpose like a weak protagonist.]

The heroines: “…..”

They didn’t have anything to say.

The situation there was almost the same as when Basara found out that Eiji had fucked Mio, Maria, Yuki and Kurumi.

The difference was that Basara now did not look down on the boy anymore and was ready for a serious fight at the start!

Still, he frowned when Eiji just stood there while stuffing his hands into his pants pockets.

“I knew you were going to say that kind of thing but… Why don’t you take out your sword?”

“Eiji, don’t underestimate me. I don’t know if I can beat you, but my current power is at least enough to hurt you.”

Protagonist, you’re very confident.

I like that…

The more confident you are, the harder you fall after being slapped.

But…

“No, I don’t need a sword but don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I’m underestimating you, Basara. But don’t forget, my power isn’t just limited to my sword skills.”

Eiji’s eyes glowed with a purple light similar to the Shadow Monarch at its maximum level and a black aura enveloped his body.

The moment it happened.

The temperature on the roof of the school dropped by several degrees celsius so that it would make anyone shudder.

The weather above Kuoh city that had been sunny gradually became cloudy as if there was going to be rain.

This scene is like the beginning of the villain boss showing his power.

Basara felt a chill in his heart and he felt he was being stared at by an ancient monster.

It was very frightening.

Even so, the protagonist quickly adapted and gripped his sword tighter as if fighting the fear he felt in his heart!

And yes, he remembered Eiji could also fight without his sword because he was a mage.

Basara thought the boy would cast his magic when he attacked using his sword.

But when he was thinking like that, he heard Eiji open his mouth and say in a magnetic voice.

“Arise.”
