Chapter 98: Persuading Kuroka with a bad joke

Chapter 98: Persuading Kuroka with a bad joke

As the name suggests.

Future Insight is the ability to see the future.

The World Will has this kind of cheating ability.

Eiji had actually used it not long ago to check some plots in the future and sure enough it was still changed from the original work.

It was not because of the influence of the World Will or the death of the protagonist, but because of his actions during this time that created the butterfly effect. So plot changes are inevitable.

The first time Eiji used this ability, he finally understood why the World Will could know the things he was going to do to Yami in the previous plot and create a plot that benefited the protagonist. In addition to having the ability to manipulate plots that he didn't have, that World Will could see plots that would happen in the future so he could change this and that in advance.

Of course there was a limit to how much of the future of the plot he could see. This time Eiji even only checked a few plots, including Akeno's plot in the next one week. Why not try to see further into the future? It was because of the insane consumption of magic.

The cost to use this Future Insight ability was not free. The World Will needed to consume its own energy to see and change the future plot. Eiji was the same, but he used his magic for that and seeing what happened in the next week had already consumed 10% of his magic reserves.

This made him realize that with the power he had accumulated so far, at least there were still things that made him troubled.

In the future it would be good to increase his magic reserves so that he could use as much magic as possible. It was estimated that reaching this point was still a long way off as Anos' character card had only reached 24% fusion even now.

Damn it's so slow!

Of all the protagonist character cards he had. Anos was the strongest by far and that was why his fusion process was so slow. Eiji deactivated his Future Insight and his eyes that were actually glowing golden from earlier when using this ability immediately returned to blue.

"So that's it. It's still the same as what I checked yesterday."

"Akeno... That girl is going to have trouble today."

What problem? Eiji could only say the girl's relatives were so racist that they were itching to find trouble after so many years had passed. The girl's father didn't help either, but used this opportunity to make up with his daughter.

Because he was now the protagonist in the franchise. The plot is of course related to her, but rather than doing things like the protagonist who likes to make the heroine forgive and forget her grudges.

He would rather do the opposite.

Walking towards the door of his house, Eiji refrained from grinning wickedly out of excitement.

[Heh.]

From the sound of his voice, this man sounded amused.

The heroines were wondering what was wrong?

[After the protagonist Issei died. The plot inexplicably still goes on, and many things in the future change.]

[Although I don't know for sure because my ability to see the plot is also limited, but I know today a certain heroine will be in trouble.]

Who? The heroines glanced at themselves because they were worried it was their turn.

But they breathed a sigh of relief except for a certain black-haired girl.

[It's Akeno. Today that girl will...]

Eiji didn't finish his words, he opened the door of his house and said. "I'm home!"

"Lala, Asia, Kuroka, Run?"

"...." There was no answer.

Actually it was already 7:24. Usually at this hour the girls had already gone to school except Kuroka. The latter did not go to school as she was not a student of course. With her age, that woman should be an office lady if she wasn't working in the Khaos Brigade.

Glancing at the living room, although no one answered, he saw that the TV showing the morning drama was on. From behind the sofa, he could see the tail of a black-colored cat swinging.

Eiji smiled.

Who else if not Kuroka? The woman was now sitting with her head resting on the arm of the sofa. Her gaze kept on the drama she was watching and ignored it.

'This woman is sulking.'

'She's really sulking because I didn't come home last night.'

It seemed that before catching Akeno, he had to persuade Kuroka first.

With his Saint-Galaxy Human brain, he thought hard for 2 seconds before nodding.

First, he had to distract her from the drama she was watching. He naturally walked over to Kuroka and sat down beside her. "Kuroka, you know, I have a funny story that will definitely make you laugh harder than this drama."

Huh? Laughing? When? From the start, the drama I watched had no comedy in it. It's a dark story about a detective who uncovers the murder case of a woman who becomes a mystery in the movie.

Kuroka wanted to say this, but she remembered the other party was the man who didn't keep his promise. She wasn't really angry actually because she knew Eiji was really busy dealing with other protagonists and heroine. From the beginning, she didn't have a problem with her man having many women, but she still wanted to pretend to sulk so that he would try to persuade her.

Kuroka finally turned her head and looked away from the TV. "Funny story? How was I supposed to know that your story would be funny?"

She wanted to see how this man would persuade her.

She wasn't going to make this easy!

Eiji answered enthusiastically. "Of course, this story is really funny! So, listen carefully."

Kuroka gave permission with a wave of her hand, and Eiji began to tell the story. "So, there was a cat and a dog who went for a walk in the forest. They walked for so long that they got hungry. The cat said, 'I want fish food,' while the dog said, 'I want meat food.'"

Why is this a cat and dog story?

Is the cat referring to herself?

As for the dog? Kuroka looked at Eiji.

She was listening seriously, no laughing expression on her face.

Eiji pretended to cough, but he continued anyway. "So, they searched for food that suited their desires. The cat found fish near the river, while the dog found meat lying under a tree."

Eiji paused for a moment, hoping Kuroka would laugh, but she just looked at him seriously.

"Then what happened?" asked Kuroka expressionlessly.

[Come on Kuroka! Pretty, don't get mad, okay? Stop sulking and laugh!]

'Stop sulking and laugh? Not that easy!'

'You have to persuade me harder, Nyaa!'

Saying this in her heart, Kuroka still maintained her expressionless face, golden eyes flashing without the slightest wave as she stared at the boy in front of her.

Eiji was a little surprised by Kuroka who was still expressionless, but he continued to tell the story. "The cat and dog ate voraciously until they felt full. Then the cat said, 'I really enjoyed this meal. This is the best dish I've ever eaten!'"

Kuroka's expression did not change and asked, "What did the dog say?"

"...." Eiji wondered if his harem halo was broken? Damn! With a thick face, he answered excitedly, "The dog said, 'But I prefer meat!'"

Kuroka still didn't laugh, and Eiji felt frustrated. "Isn't that funny?"

What's going on? Why is persuading this woman so difficult? Usually it's easy...

The girls in Eiji's harem. Almost all of them favored Lala! Although she had also accepted the pink-haired girl as the leader. But it was good if she also had her own allies within the group of heroines.

"Well I won't force you, but according to you. What trouble could befall you today, Akeno?" Rias asked curiously to her Queen.

Akeno wore a thoughtful expression for a moment before shaking her head. "I don't know."

Actually, she was also thinking of the people from the clan her mother came from, but she quickly dismissed the thought because it had been a long time since those people had stopped chasing her.

There was also an agreement they made with the Gremory family in the past that as long as she did not enter the territory of that Clan, the Himejima Clan. The people in that Clan who hated her because she had the blood of the Himejima Clan mixed with the blood of fallen angels flowing in her body. Those people were not allowed to do anything to her, they were not allowed to hunt her anymore like 7 years ago.

Back then, if Rias and her father's bishop hadn't saved her by making a deal with the people of the Himejima Clan.

She would have died a long time ago.

Remembering her past, Akeno felt her heart grow cold. Her expression looked a little dark which made Rias worried and hurriedly distracted the girl.

"Well for now why don't we go to class first?

Akeno didn't answer, but she nodded and followed Rias to class.

She thought the plot Eiji was talking about was probably just a minor plot. The protagonist was also dead, so this so-called plot wouldn't be too much, right?

As for the people of the Himejima Clan? She felt that those people couldn't possibly dare to attack her as long as she was still in Kuoh city.

Time passes.

It was already afternoon.

If Eiji knew what Akeno was thinking, he would say the girl was naive. But that was good because a girl who wasn't too smart would make it easier for a man to win her heart.

Eiji wasn't complaining about this, he was just happy.

He was also even more happy to hear what his first fiancée said after school hours were over and they walked out of the classroom hand in hand.

"Eiji~! I invited Yui and Haruna to stay at home to watch a movie together~! You don't mind, right?" Lala said excitedly.

That girl seemed to really like watching movies together with many people and he liked it too. Who wouldn't like watching a movie with lots of pretty girls?

"I don't mind. Did you also invite Mai, Sona, and Rias?"

"I've invited them too, but apart from Rias who said she'll come tonight. Mai is busy with her modeling work and Sona? Sona is also busy finishing up her piling student council work."

Those two girls are hardworking.

Eiji remembered Mai even missed school for 3 days because she was out of town. During this time she also sent him frequent messages and he knew the girl was now in Tokyo. Besides doing her work at the same time, she also visited her younger sister who lived in the city.

As for Sona? Just this morning he saw her lazing around in bed, but now she was back to her hardworking mode and by now the girl must be wrestling with a pile of papers in the Student Council Office while being accompanied by Tsubaki and the others.

"I see. So where are Haruna and Yui? I see they went home first instead of coming with us."

"The two of them are planning to teleport from their respective homes tonight using the E-Linker Lala gave them!"

So it also has a teleportation feature? Okay, there are many features there.

Lala... You're great.

The one who answered him was not the pink-haired girl, but the light green-haired girl who hugged his other hand.

Actually at this moment he was walking while flanked by two beautiful girls which made many male students look at him enviously. He could even hear one of them shouting "Riaju exploded!"

Not sure what it meant, but the female students who saw them on the street seemed eager to gossip as usual.

Not all of them of course.

There were also those who didn't care because they were used to the sight of him surrounded by beautiful girls.

Thanks to word-of-mouth rumors. At least if it's first and second year students. They must all know about him.

Which he didn't care about.

Hearing what Run said, he nodded at the girl and then looked at the blonde girl who was also walking beside Lala. Unfortunately his arms were full, he could not hold the girl like the other two girls, but he would not make her feel neglected.

"Asia. Since there will be a lot of people tonight, just use all the ingredients in the fridge to make food."

Asia smiled, she was glad Eiji asked her and nodded. "I'll do it, Eiji-san! By the way, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Me? Well anything you cook is fine... But I might be late getting home tonight. There's something I have to do."

""....."" The three girls pouted a little, but after hearing his inner voice this morning. They understood and did not prevent him. Not long after that Eiji parted with the girls in front of the school gate.

Then he immediately turned around and headed somewhere.

By the way what happened this morning? He did do lewd things with Kuroka, but they hadn't made the final move because that woman suddenly got a call from her group.

The woman was very upset, she was about to refuse, but after hearing the reason why her group suddenly called her. Eiji told Kuroka to agree because it was related to the secret mission he gave her.

Although still reluctant, she agreed. It seemed that what they had done this morning left her quite satisfied. However, after she had completed her mission, she wanted them to do the things she wanted and he agreed.

After the woman went to meet Vali, Le Fay, and the others somewhere. Eiji of course went to school. Although he was late which made Yui reprimand him. School went on as usual, he met Lala, Asia, Run, Haruna and the others. What about the protagonist Rito? Heh, that boy seems to be really badly injured after receiving a mental attack before and has been out of school for 2 days.

The girls already knew Haruna to be one of his womens and they included the girl in their group which he himself was not allowed to interfere. The group he was referring to was a group chat that seemed like it should only be known by the heroines which made him sigh.

But put that aside. He was currently looking at the figure of a sexy black-haired girl who was walking by the roadside.

Her ponytail swaying in sync with her steps, she smiled and called out to the girl from behind.

"Akeno! What a coincidence."

"Eiji-kun?"

Akeno turned her head and saw the silver-haired boy who had kept her worried and alert all morning.

After all, the other party told her that she would be in trouble today.

As for the coincidence he said? She couldn't believe it and felt that Eiji was approaching her on purpose.

Could it be because...

[Because of today's plot, I was worried about leaving Akeno alone. There's no way I'm going to stand idly by when I see a beautiful girl like her in danger.]

[Akeno don't worry, I'll protect you, but what excuse should I use to stay with her after this?]
