Chapter 61: Visit of the heroines
"By the way Lala, where are the others?"
He had been unconscious for three days. So there's no way the girls aren't worried about him, right?
Not that he was narcissistic, but knowing his inner voice was offline for several days. Just from this alone, the heroines must be at least worried about him, especially the girls in his harem.
Hearing Eiji's question, Lala began to explain the situation when he was unconscious.
It was basically true that the girls were worried about him. Yui, not even long ago visited his house this morning to see how he was doing. Then yesterday, precisely on the second day. Rias and Sona came because they realized something was wrong.
The two girls were shocked to see him unconscious, they tried casting a lot of healing magic and even dripped some water called "Phoenix Tears" into his mouth. However, it was no use as he wasn't even injured in the first place and was just unconscious from eating Lala's cooking.
Speaking of "Phoenix Tears", it was the highest-level healing item in the underworld that only the House of Phoenix could produce. One drop of "Phoenix Tears" was very expensive in the underworld and the quantity was also limited for some reason. For Rias and Sona's family, money was not a problem.
However, even for their family. They didn't have many "Phoenix Tears". If they wanted more, they would have to buy more from the House of Phenex which would be quite difficult to convince in this situation; because there was also the matter of Rias wanting to stop her marriage to the young master and heir of the Phenex family.
Riser Phenex, that man would also definitely not want to give Rias and her family the "Phoenix Tears", even if offered a lot of money.
And about his relationship with Sona that Riser already knew. Riser also probably ordered his family to blacklist the House of Sitri from selling "Phoenix Tears".
That's just an assumption of course, but the reality is quite shocking.
Rias in fact brought a box full of "Phoenix Tears" and said that the House of Phenex had given her family - specifically her - a lot of "Phoenix Tears" for FREE by Riser.
Riser certainly didn't know the circumstances, but it just so happened that he gave Rias plenty of "Phoenix Tears" to offer them to her with the request that he had to make him back into a man. Riser was even generously willing to cancel his marriage with Rias as long as he could make his sword work again!
Ah... Eiji finally remembered what he had done to the man in their last meeting.
At first he thought Riser was too arrogant and it was impossible for him to do things like give Rias a lot of "Phoenix Tears" and "cancel their political marriage" just to persuade him.
But unexpectedly, since Riser couldn't raise his sword anymore. That man was willing to give up his pride so that he could heal him!
Riser must have known he made him like that without realizing it, and surely only he could make him back to normal.
After trying many ways to make his sword work again. In the few days since then, he must have given up and chosen to lick him.
As for what Sona did? Knowing the "Phoenix Tears" were useless. She enlisted the help of her older sister, Serafall!
That magical girl had also come to his house and checked on him with her abilities. No idea what she did, but she told all the girls that he was fine and it was only a matter of time before he woke up.
Well that at least made the girls feel relieved and they just had to wait.
Probably because of his inner voice before he was heard.
At this moment, a magic circle appeared inside the bedroom.
"Eiji-chan~!"
There were also several other magic circles that followed.
"Onee-sama! Are you here? Ah... Eiji, you're finally awake!"
Two women he recognized appeared. One of them was the woman he hadn't seen in a long time, Magical Girl Serafall.
The other woman was one of his fiancées and the younger sister of the woman above, Sona.
*Knock* *knock* *knock*
"Eiji-san, I'm coming in. I brought you some porridge."
The blonde girl in the maid uniform entered the room in a normal, Asia.
"Nyaa? Eiji, are you awake?"
Don't know since when, but from earlier Kuroka in her cat form was already under his blanket!
She seemed to have just woken up from her nap.
"Sorry to interrupt. I'm here to check on Eiji-san's condition in place of Rias and her peerage who are busy participating in the Rating Game today."
All eyes immediately fell on the woman with surprised gazes, especially Serafall.
"Grayfia! You're here too?!" The magical girl almost dropped her magic wand, even saying in a pitying tone to someone. "Sir-chan is pitiful..."
Sir-chan? That must be Sirzechs.
"...." Grayfia's lips twitched, from the way people were looking at her, even though she had already explained her purpose for coming here. She knew these people doubted her somewhat and thought she had come here to cheat on her husband. "Serafall, didn't I say it clearly? I came here actually at the request of Rias who is worried about Eiji-san. So please don't misunderstand anything."
Sona sat beside his bed and held his hand as the older sister and the silver-haired maid faced each other. "Eiji, are you alright?"
Eiji smiled at the attention of the girl with glasses. "I'm fine. I just woke up from a longer sleep than usual."
"Really? Nothing hurts?"
"Nothing."
The girl with glasses let out a sigh of relief. Seeing the worry replaced by relief on her face, Eiji couldn't resist kissing the girl's cheek.
"W-Why all of a sudden? You know, there's Onee-sama in front of us..." His second fiancée blushed, her gaze kept glancing at her older sister who fortunately, or so it seemed, did not see what happened earlier. Otherwise, she knew her older sister would be quite noisy.
"Eiji~! Eiji~! I want to too!" His first fiancé, sitting on his other side while begging for a kiss like a child. And of course, he gave her what she wanted.
"Hehe~" His first fiancé was very easy to make happy.
"...." His second fiancé squeezed his hand slightly. Eiji kissed her cheek once more which made the girl pretend to cough with her hand covering her smiling mouth.
Magical girl seemed to complain. "Hey I obviously asked first, why did you talk to Grayfia first? Eiji-chan~!"
Ignoring Serafall who was puffing out his cheeks like a hamster. The silver-haired woman smiled slightly, she seemed a little pleased with his action to prioritize her over the magical girl.
?{Host, you're getting good at seducing other people's wives.}
'.....' Eiji.
Grayfia seemed to understand what he was asking. She also knew about what he had done to Riser so that his sword could not function normally. Even about Riser giving Rias a lot of "Phoenix Tears", how could such a thing not be known by the people in the House of Gremory and Phenex?
"About that. Although Riser had originally made a request to stop his marriage with Rias to the people in the family."
"It was too late because many devils in the underworld had already been informed about the Rating Game and the news of Rias' Rating Game match against Riser had already spread almost throughout the underworld."
"So it would be troublesome if the promised Rating Game was suddenly stopped and many people in the underworld might take offense thinking the House of Gremory and Phenex were playing a trick on them."
"Well, to avoid such problems. Rias and Riser still have to do Rating Games to entertain the people who come to watch their Rating Games."
Hearing Grayfia's explanation. Eiji nodded, he understood and felt there was nothing wrong with it. Noble families often attach importance to face, the Gremory and Phenex families are also basically the same.
Although whoever lost or won in the Rating Game would make the names of the two families somewhat dirty, but it was still much better than offending many people in the underworld for giving false news about the Rating Game.
Political stuff.
Unless you have the power to silence everyone without worrying about any consequences.
You still have to care about the rules and someone's face.
Other than him, Srizcechs also had the power for that. But well...the man must have PTSD after participating in many wars in the past which now made him dislike violence, and prefer restraint as long as the peace of the underworld could be maintained.
Unlike before, Eiji now didn't mock Sirzechs for that, instead he was grateful that the man had such PTSD symptoms because he made him have the opportunity to woo his wife.
Looking at the silver-haired woman with red eyes and voluptuous figure clad in a French maid uniform.
Eiji sighed mentally.
It was hard not to be greedy for such beauty.
After Grayfia finished with her purpose to "completing Rias's request". The woman did not stay longer, and soon excused herself to return to the underworld. Sona and the others were the same, although Serafall was a bit troublesome to persuade and it seemed like she was very much avoiding the topic of the duel bet they made a week ago.
So after making sure he was fine, the woman immediately pulled her younger sister back. Her younger sister looked a little reluctant, but she obeyed her older sister with a kiss goodbye to him.
Which made her older sister stare at the two of them with a hint of jealousy. Not knowing who she was jealous of between the two of them was still a question.
Except for the people who lived with him. The others had already left, and the people in his house, including him were about to relax as usual in the house.
This happened to be Sunday, so it was a good day to relax, right?
For most people, yes. But for him...
{Run... I know you're in there, in that man's body.}
{Although it's a bit disgusting to do the same thing as in your previous life. But if it's to make you fall in love with me, why not?}
{Ren, you bastard! Don't run away! Let me kiss you! To get Run's heart, we have to kiss a little!}
"....." Many of the heroines shuddered at this. Some of them even looked pale.
"...." Eiji sighed.
This is Sunday.
Although sleeping for three days can also be called a vacation for him, but this and that are not the same, okay?
To be honest, he almost forgot about the protagonist after chatting with the beautiful womens before.
Now Rito...
[Rito, what are you doing?! Do you seriously have a hobby like that? Damn, this protagonist...]
[Although in the original work I know Ren has two people in one body because of his alien race.]
[Whenever Ren sneezes, he will turn into a woman named Run who is basically a different person.]
[In the original work, they could eventually separate the bodies and become two people without having to become one.]
[But that's in the future, and now...now Run is still a personality inside Ren. I remember in the original work, Rito did accidentally make Run fall in love with him because of an accident that made him kiss Ren.]
[That's disgusting, and now it seems like Rito is deliberately chasing Ren so he can kiss him?!]
[Oh my... I feel sorry for the girls who liked Rito from the start. Haruna, if she knows the boy she liked in middle school is now obsessed with kissing a man...]
[There's also Rito's younger sister Mikan who I don't know how she'd react if she knew what her older brother is doing now.]
Hearing this, the two girls in question naturally sprang into reaction. No, they were already in reacting when Rito's inner voice explained what disgusting things he was going to do.
