Chapter 501: Yumiko felt sour
Chapter 501: Yumiko felt sour
"So what help do you three want from me?"
Eiji changed the topic.
He didn't want to say that he had made a habit of skipping club activities.
Yuigahama knew this and rolled her eyes.
"Hmph! We're actually not- mm?!"
Yumiko did not finish her arrogant words because Ebina silenced her mouth with her hand.
The girl with glasses looked at Eiji kindly and said, "Eiji-kun, ignore Yumiko. She's just an arrogant and rather tsundere girl."
Yumiko glared at Ebina as if to say that she wasn't as she said.
At least she wasn't a tsundere!
Ebina ignored the girl's gaze and added. "Actually if you don't mind. Can you take us to the bookstore in the next town over? The three of us are pretty and cute girls. So going there without male protection might be a bit dangerous, especially at this hour."
[Isn't this girl named Hina Ebina a bit narcissistic? But it's true that the three of them are pretty and cute girls.]
It was natural for Yuigahama to blush because she could hear Eiji's inner voice. But Yumiko? She was blushing too and it would be obvious if Ebina removed her hand from her mouth.
After all, it had been a few days since Yumiko started to be able to hear Eiji's inner voice. Roughly speaking, she also began to know what kind of person the boy in front of her was.
What kind of person was Eiji Seiya?
Well...
He was a bastard who had a Harem in the real world!
That boy even dared to seduce his own future mother-in-law and had an ambiguous relationship with teacher Shizuka.
Yumiko was repeatedly shocked by the things she heard from Eiji's inner voice. Compared to the other boys including Hayato, he seemed to be no ordinary boy.
From Yumiko's point of view, although she didn't want to admit it, Eiji was not only very handsome, he was also very mysterious.
This made her curious about him but with her arrogant personality, she wouldn't say it of course. However, Yumiko did not know curiosity sometimes killed cats.
An arrogant blonde cat like herself was no exception.
"I don't mind but why me? Aren't there plenty of other boys in this school who would be interested in keeping pretty girls like you company?"
"More so, except with Yui. I'm not too familiar with Ebina and Miura. Please give me a reason."
Eiji didn't look excited about being invited to play by three beautiful girls, he asked instead.
How dare he!
Shouldn't you be so happy and not ask so many questions when three of the most beautiful girls from class 2-F, especially me invite you to go out together?
Yumiko complained in her heart. If it was Tobe or any other boy, many of them would have become their guard dogs eagerly.
But Eiji?
This boy did not play by the routine.
However, the sweet words that came out of his mouth made it hard for her to hate him.
Yumiko removed Ebina's hand from her mouth and said somewhat embarrassed. "Well aren't you Yui's friend? Because you're her friend. You... You can also be friends with us, Seiya-kun."
"...." Ebina.
"...." Yuigahama.
Both looked at Yumiko with strange looks.
Yumiko felt offended and glared at the two girls.
"What? What did I say wrong?"
"N-No, Yumiko. What you said was not wrong!"
"Yes Yumiko is right. Eiji-kun, please be our bodyguard for a moment!"
As Yumiko's follower who was the Queen of her class, Yuigahama certainly didn't dare laugh at the girl because what she said was somewhat out of character.
Ebina pleaded to Eiji with a sweet expression that would make many male students swoon. Although not as beautiful as Yuigahama who became one of the heroine of the original work.
Hina Ebina was indeed quite beautiful.
However, for a veteran like Eiji, he certainly wasn't mesmerized by her.
He held his chin before saying with a smile that left the three girls in front of him dazed.
"Since you three forced me, I will reluctantly protect you. Let's go now."
"...." Yumiko, Ebina and Yuigahama.
This was the first time they saw a boy who said that without shame on his face.
Who's forcing who?!
...
Then, Eiji walked out of the school with the three girls.
They followed Ebina who knew better the location of the bookstore they were looking for. Eiji walked side by side with them.
Currently, Eiji was not using his superpowers so they had to take public transportation such as electric trains.
The afternoon light was shining brightly. In more than 20 minutes. Eiji and the three girls finally arrived at one of the bookstores that was actually in Akihabara.
Akihabara and Kuoh happened to be neighbors.
And seeing the bookstore in front of him, Eiji looked at the girls who came with him with a subtle expression.
[If it was Ebina, I could understand. But Yumiko and Yui are also interested in coming to this kind of shop? Well sometimes some things are often different from the original work. Maybe in this life those two girls are more lewd than I thought.]
Yuigahama blushed, she wanted to say something so that Eiji wouldn't misunderstand. But Yumiko did it first.
"Seiya-kun, don't misunderstand! We're actually here to accompany Hina to buy her favorite book!"
"Yui and I are not interested in the perverted books in this shop. By the way, please keep our visit to this place a secret!"
Yumiko said in panic and of course there was the embarrassment of having a best friend like Ebina. The bookstore in front of them was actually an adult bookstore with an 18+ board that sold many pornographic books such as doujins.
Most of the people coming in and out of the store were also men who must have been very perverted for wanting to buy those items.
This was also one of the reasons why out of all the men who could be invited to accompany them, they decided to invite Eiji.
Actually it was because according to Yuigahama, Eiji was a trustworthy boy and he was very strong. There was no doubt that he could protect them if anything bad happened when they visited this kind of shop.
"Oh so it's Ebina who wants to come here? Well..." Eiji looked at Ebina and it just so happened that the girl was also looking at him.
He said, "That makes sense."
"Eiji-kun, what do you mean? Isn't it strange that a cute girl like me wants to buy books in this shop? You're saying it makes sense?!"
Ebina made a surprised expression.
Eiji didn't answer but in his heart he sighed.
[Of course, for someone who knows the original work like me. It's no secret that you're a fujoshi. Let me guess, Ebina will want to buy the BL manga at the bookstore we visited.]
Ebina didn't know Eiji knew her so well.
However, Yumiko and Yuigahama who heard his inner voice were dumbfounded that Eiji knew that much.
Put Yuigahama aside as she had heard Eiji's inner voice longer than Yumiko.
But Yumiko was getting curious about something called the original work! Why did it seem to make Eiji know so many things that he shouldn't know?
Inside the bookstore.
The three followed Ebina who continued to go deeper into the bookstore. The group of a handsome boy with three beautiful girls certainly attracted attention.
Many male customers were glancing at the girls.
Yumiko felt disgusted by the men's gazes, but at the same time was also a little scared and unconsciously held onto Eiji's school shirt.
Yuigahama also did the same, she clung to Eiji.
Eiji smiled slightly, he was enjoying the situation while ignoring the envious gazes of the men inside the store.
However, none of them dared to look for trouble with his group which made him a little disappointed.
[Host, what country do you think you're in?]
Japan.
[In this country, the chances of anyone daring to mess with you just because they are jealous of seeing you walking with beautiful girls is very small.]
[Moreover, your figure intimidates people with evil intentions!]
Ah... Eiji just remembered. Even though he was a high school boy, he was taller than the average adult and his golden ratio muscles made him not look like someone who could be bullied easily.
Only overconfident people like protagonists and villains usually wanted to try to fight him.
The result? They would only get slapped of course.
"Found it! Ah?"
"Found it! Eh?"
The two girls said at the same time.
Something quite interesting happened when Ebina found the latest BL manga she was looking for among the red shelves with an '18+ Only' warning.
The book she wanted to take was also about to be taken by a girl in a black hoodie beside her.
Eiji, Yumiko and Yuigahama naturally noticed the awkward situation.
Eiji naturally glanced at the girl beside Ebina and he was slightly surprised.
With brown hair covered by a white hat and round glasses.
Although the black hoodie and black sweatpants she was wearing made her look suspicious.
It wasn't hard for Eiji to instantly recognize the girl's face.
Wasn't she...
"Hey this is mine! Can you take another?" Ebina tried to pull the BL manga she was after but didn't succeed because the girl on the other side was also pulling it.
"No! Obviously I found it before you and I don't want to take another copy of Prince x Beast fifth volume that doesn't have the author's signature!" The girl said and she didn't want to give in for a BL manga either.
It was the author's signature that made the book special.
Still, Yumiko and Yuigahama felt that it didn't matter at all! Only those two perverted girls were so obsessed with the signature of the pervert who drew the BL manga.
Eiji had an amused expression on his face, he pretended to cough until the two girls' movements stopped and looked at him.
"Eiji-kun, please help me. This pervert girl-" Ebina didn't look in the mirror when she was about to say that.
Aren't you also a perverted girl who likes BL manga?
But the girl who was competing with her interrupted her when she saw Eiji.
"Eiji? Why are you here?!"
"Aika, we meet again. I'm just dropping off these girls. What about you?"
That's right, the girl in suspicious clothes was Aika Kiryuu. Eiji knew in the original work the girl also actually had the same hobby as Ebina.
The two of them both loved BL manga. However, he did not expect them to meet here.
Before coming here too Eiji did not bother to use his Future Insight as usual. So he had no idea.
Is this even a plot?
By the way, this was too coincidental.
[Host, don't forget you have the harem halo and protagonist Issei's halo that you had previously stolen. You are now the harem protagonist.]
Makes sense.
As the harem protagonist, it's natural to meet beautiful girls by chance.
"This..." Aika blushed, she was usually not shy when showing her hobbies to her friends. But when she met Eiji again after a long time in this situation, she felt embarrassed!
Even so, seeing as she was not the only perverted girl who liked BL manga here.
She regained her confidence before saying, "Eiji, as you can see. There's no misunderstanding here, I came to this place to buy my favorite BL manga!"
Yumiko and Yuigahama were dumbfounded as Aika said those words proudly.
Aren't you embarrassed?
Ebina who was previously a bit hostile towards Aika looked at the girl with a twinkle in her eye.
She felt that she had found a new friend who shared her hobby. However, neither of them had any intention of letting go of the Prince x Beast manga in their hands.
"I see." Eiji said without showing a look of disgust.
Aika was happy because that meant Eiji didn't hate her, even after he found out about her hobby.
Although before they met again she often wondered if Eiji hated perverted girls like her because he didn't see her anymore after what happened on the school roof.
She knew Eiji was not an ordinary high school boy which probably kept him busy with supernatural affairs. Otherwise, what high school boy could kill the Evil God?
Aika still hadn't forgotten the cool scene where Eiji showed off his superpowers. Especially his big dick that was being licked by Kasumigaoka Utaha. She often had wet dreams about him because of that.
'Oh my, I'm almost drooling.'
Aika wiped her lips with one of her hands but that movement gave Ebina the opportunity to snatch the manga in her hand.
"Hehe now it's mine!"
"You, you cheater! Four eyes, give it back to me!"
"Four eyes? You're a four eyes too! You're wearing glasses!"
"Shit! I don't care, can you take another copy?!"
"Sorry, but no!"
...
In the end after Aika and Ebina fought over a BL manga.
Ebina came out as the winner because she immediately ran to the cashier to pay for the manga in her hand.
Aika gritted her teeth sadly. She could only be satisfied with buying a copy of Prince x Beast that didn't have the author's signature.
The five of them exited the store together and by then the sky had already darkened somewhat. Ebina introduced herself to Aika and the two instantly became good friends on the same frequency.
They talked about BL manga while walking with lascivious smiles on their faces.
Yumiko and Yuigahama shook their heads.
They did not expect that there was another girl besides Ebina who liked BL manga in the same school as them.
Previously they had also gotten acquainted with Aika and knew that girl was also a student at Kuoh Academy.
"By the way, how long are you two going to hold my clothes? I don't hate it of course."
[Even if you hold my hand, I don't mind holding it until you get home so that you won't be afraid of anything.]
[It's a man's duty to protect the women!]
Eiji said with cold outside and hot inside.
Because of that, Yumiko and Yuigahama just realized that they had been holding Eiji's clothes since they entered the bookstore.
In panic and embarrassment they immediately removed their hands from the boy. Aika who saw the two girls' movements grinned.
"Hoho~ Now I just realized it. Eiji, are Miura, Yuigahama and even Ebina your new girlfriends?"
Before Eiji could answer, Yumiko answered for him while pointing at Aika.
"Y-You misunderstood! Pervert girl, I'm not Seiya-kun's girlfriend!"
"Really? What about the other two?"
"Of course they are too..."
Yumiko glanced at her two best friends in confusion as they had not said anything to refute.
To be more precise, Yuigahama was silent with a blush on her cheeks. Like a little girl, her gaze peered at Eiji's handsome face as if she didn't hate being considered his girlfriend.
'Yui, you...'
Yumiko's lips twitched. When did Eiji seduce one of her best friends?
How about Ebina?
Glancing at the girl in question, Yumiko let out a sigh of relief as the girl was silent because she was busy reading her BL manga.
But—
"Being one of Eiji-kun's harem members doesn't sound bad. If Eiji-kun is interested in me, it's not impossible. By the way, I thank you for helping me."
"Eiji-kun, feel free to ask me for something in return in the future!"
Ebina said with a mischievous smile.
Yumiko and the other two girls were stunned.
Eiji looked at Ebina with a strange look. Not because he hated or was disgusted by her, but because he suddenly remembered a plot in the original work.
[If I date Ebina. Wouldn't that boy named Tobe feel the green hat? After all, I remember in the original work he secretly liked Ebina and planned to confess to her at Summer Camp.]
[I don't know if that happened yet? Well not that I care.]
You don't care but you seem to sound excited when you say 'green hat'!
Many heroines including Yumiko and Yuigahama could hear Eiji's inner voice complaining.
Still, the latter two were the most surprised because they just knew Tobe liked Ebina!
And Eiji, he seemed to be excited to date Ebina.
Was he really going to...
"That's a tempting offer Ebina. Let's see in the future." Eiji didn't refuse but also didn't immediately show his real face.
Wait, real face? Nonsense!
Obviously he was a man who wasn't easily seduced by pretty girls.
And Ebina wasn't ugly. According to the beauty standards of high school girls, she was a pretty girl who looked quiet but was secretly very perverted.
To be honest, she was quite attractive.
She was just as attractive as Aika.
[Pooh! Host, Pooh!]
Miss System insulted her host with unknown language.
It's not polite.
"Then I'll wait. Eiji-kun, you can call me Hina."
"Okay Hina."
Quickly, Ebina and Eiji were seen teasing each other.
Yumiko felt sour.
She was pretty too, prettier than Ebina. Why didn't Eiji...
'Wait, what were you thinking?! There's only Hayato in my heart! There's no way I'd be seduced by a playboy like Eiji!'
That's what Yumiko was thinking before something happened on the way home.
