Chapter 94: Protagonist who seeks death

It is true that she has said such things in the past.

To be honest when she said that, she was half-serious and joking.

Although back then she went as far as following Rias to do perverted things with Eiji. Akeno didn’t hate the idea of being one of Eiji’s women, even being a mistress was fine because she thought it would be really hot.

But still, she didn’t expect Rias to bring up this matter right when she was eating.

“Cough! Cough!”

“Ah! Akeno, drink this quickly!”

Rias gave the black-haired girl some drinking water and the other party drank it.

After finishing drinking, Akeno sighed.

Rias also sighed, but she said: “So Akeno, what do you think?”

“You still want to discuss that topic?” Akeno’s lips twitched. Did the crimson-haired girl want to be her matchmaker? She seemed eager to do so!

She wondered how to answer Rias…

Fortunately at this moment, Eiji’s inner voice interrupted their conversation.

[Fool. After killing the guards at Sona’s house, protagonist still thinks he’ll be accepted by Sona and her family?Protagonist’s brain circuits are amazing…]

[I’ve come this far. What a coincidence, I’ve had enough. Why not try killing the protagonist for the first time? Compared to other protagonists, Issei wants to die the most for trying so far to dig into my corner.]

“!!!”

Rias and Akeno looked at each other.

“It looks like one of the protagonists in this world is going to die.”

“Issei tried to pursue Sona when Eiji wasn’t in the plot. It makes sense that Eiji has stopped tolerating this one protagonist.”

The black-haired girl nodded. “Is that alright?”

“What do you mean, Akeno?”

“Well… Didn’t you talk yesterday about your older brother having something with Issei.”

Rias widened her eyes. Indeed, she did mention the things that happened in her house to Akeno yesterday.

Actually when she asked her mother and father to get engaged to Eiji. It was in the dining room, and coincidentally her older brother and Grayfia were also there. The latter was doing her usual maid hobby, but put the silver-haired woman aside.

Her older brother was a little opposed when she said her wish to get engaged to Eiji.

“Rias, I think it’s too soon to decide who your fiancé could be. Eiji-kun is good, but… There are still many good men out there. Besides, it hasn’t been a month since you broke off the engagement with Riser.”

“Onii-sama! What do you mean? If it’s about the family’s face. I’m fine not publicizing my engagement with Eiji for a while.”

At that time, she was not to be outdone by her older brother. To be honest lately her older brother was getting more and more strange. Grayfia had even said that besides work, her brother often went somewhere to meet someone.

She had been suspicious ever since.

“Rias… If you really want to get engaged. How about I recommend someone?”

“Huh?! Onii-sama, do you think I’m willing to get engaged to a man other than Eiji? No way! Even if the man you’re referring to is very nice, I would never agree!”

She started to get angry at her older brother at that moment. Her mother was also there and she tried to calm down the situation that was about to heat up between her children.

“Rias, calm down.”

“But mom! Onii-sama wants to force me with another man!”

“Sirzechs, you too. You’d better not force your sister. Do you want to do the same thing your father did when he got Rias engaged to Riser?”

Mom! Nice!

By the way, she saw her father who was eating almost choke at that time.

As for her older brother? He’s getting annoying.

“Mom… I only want the best for Rias. I’m not forcing her, I’m just asking her not to rush things because there are other guys better than Eiji-kun out there.”

“Onii-sama, you…” For the first time, she wanted to throw a plate at her older brother’s gently smiling face.

It seemed hypocritical, but she sighed. Fortunately she managed to calm herself down and believed that her mother was on her side. As for her father? Well he seemed to be going along with what mom said back then.

It was strange, but ever since the engagement with Riser was canceled. Her father had somehow become more submissive to her mother.

“Better than Eiji-kun? Sirzechs, do you have a problem with my future son-in-law?”

Mom! Nice again! Her mother admitted that Eiji is her future son-in-law!

Her older brother’s expression became complicated at that moment. Oh, she remembered the Kokabiel incident. Her older brother and Eiji did have a conflict. Maybe because at that time Eiji didn’t listen to her older brother not to kill Kokabiel, her older brother held a grudge?

It seemed to be because of that.

Her older brother’s heart was too small to hold a grudge because of that, right? The gentle expression on his face was just a mask to cover his hypocrisy.

“Mom, it’s not that. It’s just that I have indeed met a young man who I think is suitable for Rias.”

She already had a bad feeling at that moment.

“Oh? Who is that young man?” Her mother asked curiously.

Her older brother seemed a little excited which annoyed her. Then he said the name of someone she didn’t like.

“That young man’s name is Issei Hyudou! He is this generation’s Red Dragon Emperor! Although he’s a bit of a pervert, but I can see that he really likes Rias!”

“It’s not an ordinary liking, but I can see that Issei-kun loves Rias sincerely without seeing her background or anything.”

Except for her father who acted as if she had nothing to do with the current drama. She, her mother, and Grayfia looked at her older brother flatly.

She could see Grayfia staring at her older brother with raised eyebrows. Grayfia also seemed to be on her side at that moment instead of supporting her husband, which was good.

“Sirzechs, are you pretending to be stupid or ignorant? That young man you’re referring to. Isn’t he just lusting after your sister?” Mother asked this to her older brother which made her happy.

Yes! Issei was just greedy for her body! That protagonist was so stubborn with things that happened in his previous life.

Even though he aspired to be the Harem King. The girls he pursued during his time were limited to her and the other girls who became the heroine in the Highschool DxD franchise.

That guy sucks.

Her older brother was silent for a moment. “No, mom… Isn’t it natural for a man to lust after the woman he loves?”

She could see her father suddenly drop his fork when he heard this. After picking up his fallen fork, he looked at everyone with a smile as if watching a drama. “Continue.”

Her father was also strange, he seemed to be too relaxed these days and preferred to have fun by playing golf, bowling, or other types of sports with his friends from other devil noble families.

She had heard from her mother that her father rarely came home these days because he was busy playing with his friends. Even her father’s duties as Clan Head Gremory, he assigned her mother to do it for him.

Her father’s change did not trouble her. The problem now was her older brother who seemed to have become a supporter of the protagonist.

Fortunately at that time neither her mother nor father agreed with her older brother. Her mother approved that she was engaged to Eiji, and her father also approved. The latter did it lightly as if he didn’t want to bother with his children’s problems anymore.

Those were the things that happened in the past.

To be precise, it happened last night.

Now, she looked at Akeno and said with a shrug. “It’s okay. It would actually be good if Issei died.”

“That way, Onii-sama will have no more reason to promote Issei to my family.”

“As for how Onii-sama will react after learning what happened to Issei? Well…”

Rias was honestly a little worried that her older brother would do something bad to Eiji if he knew Eiji killed Issei.

If her older brother did, she would certainly try to stop him. But still, what if she didn’t succeed? She could only hope that everything would be fine.

…

Ding!

Eiji took out the D-Dial from his pocket and saw that there was a message from Rias.

Rias: Do it quickly and without leaving any traces. Eiji~! You can do it! Fight To~!”

“…..” His lips twitched. Was it just him or did the crimson-haired girl want him to kill Issei as soon as possible? Although the message did not say it clearly. Who knew what Issei had done to make Rias want him to kill Issei without leaving a trace.

But that wasn’t the end of it. There were also messages from the other girls.

Lala: Eiji! During lunch break at school a blonde girl from first year asked me about you~

Ah, that must be Yami. That girl seemed to have transferred to his school and became a first year student at Kuou Gakuen.

Yui: Eiji-kun, it’s not good to skip school unless you’re sick! …. By the way be careful.”

The black-haired girl was basically worried about him, but she typed this message with her tsundere personality.

Run: Woooo! Eiji! Eiji! Lala, she brought fish from her planet to the cooking class. I happened to be in the same group as her. Guess what happened?

What? What happened? The cooking class was blown up? She’s a little curious.

Run: When I wanted to cut the fish with a knife, it flew up and slapped my face with its tail! Woooo Lala, that girl is pranking me again! And Asia, she was also slapped by the fish when she wanted to cut it. It was only when Lala used her invention that the fish was finally cut.

Run: Lala, she clearly could have used that invention earlier. But she didn’t! She must have done it on purpose to prank me and Asia! Otherwise, I don’t know what it is! (Crying Dog Emoticon)

“…Are you the elementary school kid who snitched on his parents?”

Eiji shook his head with a smile. If it was Lala, the girl must have been unintentional and in the original work this kind of thing also happened frequently. So Run, Asia, you guys have to endure it.

Actually there were also other messages coming from Asia, Mai, Ai and surprisingly Le Fay.

But putting that aside, he was now staring at the boy in front of him whose hands and feet were bound with golden chains. The smile on his face disappeared and was replaced by an expressionless face.

“Eiji! Damn it! How dare you play with your cell phone at a time like this! Let go of me! I’ll kill you! Ahh! I’ll–”

“You’re so noisy.”

Before Issei could finish speaking, he slapped his face. His already battered face was now even worse. The wounds on his body didn’t help either, but made him look like a pathetic protagonist who had been defeated by villain.

Was he villain? Probably.

But certainly the sound of the slap was very loud and echoed in the endless dark space that was actually a small dimension created by his magic.

Here, even if there was a plot armor or the world’s will calling for reinforcements to save protagonist. All would be useless. No one could save the protagonist except himself.

Now that protagonist was suspended by magic chains in the air with his power which he had again sealed which made him helpless of course.

You must be wondering why this situation happened?

Earlier when he had cured Sona’s father of his Sleep Disease using his magic. Precisely one of the highest healing magic Anos possessed called “Ei Chael – All Complete Healing Magic”

This was the strongest version of the Ent spell that he had previously used on Sona. But unlike Sona whose appearance became more beautiful, this spell focuses more on healing. With this spell, he can reverse and heal all wounds inflicted on any living being regardless of race and can even cure things like Sleep Disease with ease.

Sona’s father, Lord Sitri woke up just then. Sona and her mother were of course happy. After that they decided to celebrate Sona’s father’s recovery and welcome him with a meal.

“So you’re the guy who beat Sona in her chess hobby and became her fiancé. Eiji Seiya, right? Thank you for curing me.” At that time Sona’s father thanked him with a serious face.

“If it wasn’t for you, Eiji. I might not be able to wake up again. After all, in all these years, there was no one who could cure a devil with Sleep Disease until you came along.”

Sona who was busy feeding him looked proud as if her fiancé’s achievements belonged to her at that time which made her mother and father smile amusedly.

“You’re welcome.” He nodded and said, “It just so happens that I mastered a suitable healing magic and am able to cure people affected by Sleep Disease. I’m glad it was actually useful to cure you, father-in-law.”

In addition to the satisfaction on his face at the sight of his future son-in-law, Sona’s father’s expression also seemed interested when he mentioned the healing magic he used to cure him. In addition to serving as the Head of the Sitri Clan, he remembered that Sona’s father was also supposed to be the Head of the famous Sitri Hospital in the underworld and the human world. Lastly, of course, the Sitri family went into the business world in the human world while pretending to be human.

He seemed curious about the magic spell, but he also seemed hesitant to ask his future son-in-law for something.

As a good future son-in-law. He naturally took the initiative to say, “I heard that there are quite a few devils affected by Sleep Disease in the underworld. Many of them did not survive, and there are also those who have been asleep for many years.”

“If father-in-law is willing. Why don’t you or the people in your infirmary learn the healing magic I used to cure you? It will take care of others who have not been cured of Sleep Disease and those who will be affected by the disease in the future.”

The three people in the room looked shocked, especially Sona’s father.

Sona asked doubtfully. “Eiji, is it alright?”

The girl seemed to be worried that she had asked too much of him. But hey it was only one healing spell, that spell was like a drop in the ocean of magic spells Anos possessed. There was also Varvatos who he knew now he had full access to all his magic.

Until now he had never even tried all the magic he could use because there was no situation that required him to do so.

He lightly said, “This is just one of the magic I learned in my free time.”

Precisely learned instantly from his character card.

“Really? Eiji, no. My son-in-law, if you are willing to share that healing magic spell with Sitri family. Sitri family is willing to pay you!”

“With this magic, our hospital can save more lives of devils affected by Sleep Disease and other incurable diseases in underworld.”

“Of course if you want, my son-in-law. I don’t mind transferring a few percent of our hospital’s shares. Oh wait, aren’t you going to marry Sona? Those things you can actually have naturally.”

“How about…” Sona’s father realized the value of the “Ei Chael” mantra that could almost cure any wound or disease. And he seemed to be in business mode, he thought hard about giving her something in exchange for the spell instead of just asking for it for free.

“Dear, we are eating. Can you talk about something like this later?” Lady Sitri said to her husband.

Sona’s father was stunned for a moment before pretending to cough and looking at him, “Ah… Sorry son-in-law, I was too excited.”

He shook his head and snapped his fingers. Instantly, not only Sona’s father, but even Sona’s mother and Sona were dumbfounded by the information that appeared in their brains.

Honestly if it was for his own nation. He would not be stingy and if with that spell it could make his future in-laws happy and like him even more. It would make things easier in the future if they found out that not only Sona, she was planning to marry their other daughter.

Coug, a woman owed him a promise for losing a bet. He has no intention of letting her go just because she is not at home right now. Sona says that her older sister is busy with her work and hasn’t been home for a week.

It’s a pity, but he can woo the woman’s family first.

Sona’s father laughed, there was a look of admiration on his face as he examined the information he had sent straight to his brain. Sona’s mother and Sona too. The latter didn’t seem too surprised as he had previously transferred other spells to her. Even so, the girl was still happy.

“Son-in-law. If there is anything you want just say so. As long as I can give it to you, I will definitely give it to you.”

“What do I want? Well… I already have your daughter. Isn’t having your daughter enough?”

Daughter he was referring to were all his daughters.

Sona blushed at that.

Sona’s mother said something Akeno-like. “Ara ara” was very popular among Japanese women, although Sona’s mother was a woman born in the underworld. She must have watched too many dramas on TV.

?{Host, what about Sona’s mom? }

He decided to pretend that he didn’t hear what his system said just then.

“Hahahaha! Enough! Enough! If you want, you can also marry her now and give me lots of grandchildren.”

“Dad!”

Sona who was already blushing was further embarrassed by what her father said. She lowered her face which now looked as red as Rias’ hair.

Sona’s mother sighed and said it was a pity Serafall wasn’t here. That’s right, it’s a pity.

At that time, the atmosphere in the dining room was very harmonious. It would be a lie if Eiji didn’t enjoy it, he enjoyed eating with his fiancée’s family.

Although he wanted to enjoy this kind of moment longer, he knew he couldn’t because a certain protagonist was seeking death!

After Issei’s inner voice that said it would kill all the guards in Sona’s house who got in the way. One of the servants at Sona’s house walked into the room and said frantically.

Sona’s father frowned as he too was unhappy to have his family time interrupted.

“What’s wrong?”

“Lord Sitri! Outside, a madman has broken in. He killed all the guards guarding the gate and is now dealing with another guard in the courtyard! He also keeps shouting that he’s come to cure you, Lord Sitri.”

“Cure me? But I’ve already been cured by my son-in-law. And if he came to cure me, why would that man kill the guards in my house? Impudent! This person clearly came just to cause trouble!”

Sona’s father instantly rose from his chair with an angry expression and the power of an ultimate-class devil coursing through his body. Of course he refrained from exploding right then and there, but everyone in the room could sense his power as the Sitri Clan Head.

Everyone of course stopped eating and came out to see who the madman was. And it really was Issei whose appearance was somewhat different, but she knew it was him. After coming out of Tiamat’s cave, he had indeed gotten stronger than before and he sensed that Issei was not a human but a humanoid dragon.

“Stop! Boy, who are you? You dare to kill the guards in my house. I hope you’re ready to accept the consequences for offending the Sitri Clan.” Lord Sitri said coldly as they stood facing each other in front of Issei who a few meters away had just finished blowing off the head of the last guard in Sona’s house with his bare hands. Back then Issei had never even taken out his Boosted Gear just to kill a bunch of middle-class devils.

“Lord Sitri…” Issei seemed to want to greet Sona’s father, even smiling at the sight of Sona and her mother. But when he saw Sona’s father looking healthy, he was shocked. Not only that, the moment he saw him appear next to Sona’s father, his expression instantly became ugly.

“You! You! Eiji! Why are you here?!”

“No way! Don’t tell me you’re getting ahead of me again? You bastard! How come you always show up at all the places I want to visit!!!”

Sona’s father’s expression darkened when Issei dared to ignore him and pointed at his son-in-law while shouting at him.

He couldn’t help but laugh at that and gave Issei an amused look.

“Oh Issei, it’s you? As usual, you never tire of finding trouble with me whether it’s school, outside, and here… Do you want to cure my father-in-law to get close to my fiancee? You’re disgusting as always.”

It was the same moment that he complained in his heart that the heroines heard.

Every word he said to Issei also echoed in Sona’s courtyard and of course everyone heard it.
