Chapter 217: Defeat one of the villain bosses earlier than the original work
[Rias: Boss villain? Is Eiji fighting? Let me guess he must be helping Mio. After all, yesterday he mentioned about the plot. So in order to save Mio, he has to defeat the villain boss.]
[Sona: Actually, without your guess, many of us would have guessed it too. But thank you for your very useful effort, Rias.]
[Rias:.....]
[Sona: Oh? Your self-control has gotten better.]
[Rias: Of course, do you think you'll always succeed with your sarcasm, Sona?]
[Sona:... Even so, who is the boss of this villain? Eiji sounded excited.]
[Rias: Although I know Sona changed the topic because she didn't know what to say. I'm curious too.]
[Sona:.....]
The women in the group chat were used to seeing the two fight. They naturally ignored it and wondered about the villain boss.
[Mio: Sorry, I don't know who that is. But he's definitely one of the heroes who hunted me and is called "Shiba" by his other colleagues.]
[Kuroka: Not familiar.]
[Kyouko: Not familiar +1.]
[Asia: Put that aside. Is Eiji-san okay? The villain boss sounded strong. And Mio, why don't you contact us when you're really in trouble? If you do, we can come to help.]
[Rias: Asia is right. Even if it's the heroes, I'm sure I can defeat them easily.]
[Sona: Where is the Hero Clan's headquarters? It's not impossible for us to destroy it.]
[Lala √: I want to try Space-Space Kun on many enemies.]
[Utaha: I don't know what Space-Space Kun is, but Lala-san. Please don't slaughter innocent people.]
[Eriri: Kasumigaoka Utaha, what's your problem? Your stomach is weak!]
[Utaha: Sawamura-san, can you please not spam the group chat?]
Before Eriri and the others started typing something useless again. Grayfia interrupted them all.
[Grayfia: Please calm down everyone. Let Mio speak to tell us the situation.]
[Group chat:.....]
[Mio: That's... Eiji is fine, he fought quite fiercely with Shiba. But unlike the other party, he wasn't hurt and I'm sorry I didn't think to contact you guys earlier. Maria even forgot about the group chat.]
"....."
Maria looked at Mio who was busy chatting with the womans in the group chat, she actually hadn't forgotten about the group chat. She could have sent a message for help in the group chat when the heroes first chased them and created a barrier so that they could not escape.
But why didn't she do it? Mio didn't know, but she deliberately didn't ask that womans for help to create an opportunity for Eiji!
Mio was a stubborn girl and didn't want to trouble others. Basara wasn't reliable enough, so she had to make Mio open her heart to someone better.
To protect them from the people who were after Mio.
Maria felt Eiji was the right person for that.
She sighed. "What I didn't do for you, Mio-sama..."
"Huh? Maria, why are you suddenly saying that?"
"It's nothing, Mio-sama. More importantly, we should thank Eiji-san later!"
"Didn't we do that earlier?"
"Mio-sama, this and that are different. I have a better idea..."
Ignoring Kurumi who was still passed out beside them, Maria whispered in Mio's ear. The crimson-haired girl's face was almost as red as her hair.
Eiji did not know what idea Maria had suggested to Mio. Above the destruction created by Excalibur, he parried the blows of Shiba who was shrouded in dark Ki.
Unlike Takashi who was already dead from Excalibur's immediately serious attack, the man in front of him was still not dead. He was badly injured earlier, but his regeneration speed was extremely fast. Just like in the original work, Shiba fought with his bare hands.
"Clang!"* *Clang!* * *Clang!*
But not completely, he was using his spirit gloves as well. Eiji knew that just like Takashi's Byakko, the glove also held the soul of a god named Raginleif inside. And it was no ordinary god, it was a High Ranked God of the Divine Realm and a member of the Ten Gods.
Not only that, it was somewhat similar to Basara's physiology. Shiba's body wasn't just human either, this person was actually a clone created from the DNA of Basara's father Jin Toujou and the genetic material of a High-Ranked Demon. In addition to possessing unlimited Ki, Shiba also had the ability to devour. Thanks to that, he had previously survived Excalibur's light saber.
Still, Eiji was curious as to the extent of Shiba's devouring ability. So after getting bored of slashing at the other party's body that was enveloped in dark Ki and each blow was enough to blow up a mountain. He put away his Excalibur and clenched his fists.
"My house? Right. Yuki, I have to go home soon to check on Mio and Maria. I'm really sorry, but can we continue next time?"
"...Alright, I understand."
"Thanks Yuki!"
Looking at Basara's increasingly distant back, Yuki was expressionless. Although she did not show it on her face, the disappointment and sadness in her heart was huge.
She tightly grasped the tote bag she was carrying and sighed.
"Next time? I probably won't do it again, Basara..."
"By the way, where's Kurumi?"
After realizing her love was unrequited, Yuki wanted to be sad and alone. But she remembered what her younger sister and the other two men did. She also remembered Eiji's inner voice heard earlier. From the man's inner voice, she knew he was fighting with a villain boss or something.
"Could it be..."
Yuki had a bad feeling in her heart. She actually didn't really care if Eiji killed Takashi and Shiba. But Kurumi? Eiji wouldn't do the same to her younger sister, right?!
While Yuki was panicking and trying to find her younger sister. Basara had just gotten to his house by running instead of taking transportation. By running from the city center, he could cut the road and get to his house in 30 minutes.
Opening the door of his house, he immediately shouted.
"Mio! Maria! Are you inside?"
It took a while, but there was the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs from the second floor. Seeing the figure of the silver-haired loli, Basara let out a sigh of relief and calmed down a bit.
"Basara-san? You're back from your date?"
"Date? No, me and Yuki are just... Forget that, are you and Mio okay? Nothing bad happened while I was gone, right?"
Maria was wearing a loose white T-shirt with short black hotpants, she tilted her head and looked at him in confusion. Basara tried not to stare too much at his younger sister's appearance, he had to educate her to wear the right clothes when inside the house later.
"Nothing. Mio-sama and I have been staying at home since morning and we were watching a movie together in the bedroom not long ago."
"Why does Basara-san sound worried?"
"No, I'm just asking just in case... I'm glad you guys are okay."
Basara smiled, he then remembered something and scratched his cheek. "I'm sorry I forgot to bring souvenirs."
"It's okay, Basara-san. The cake you bought yesterday is still left in the refrigerator."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"...."
"...."
"...What's that sound? Is Mio doing something in the bedroom?"
Basara's ears were sharp, although he could not clearly hear the sound inside Mio's bedroom, he could still slightly hear the girl's voice that somehow sounded like she was moaning?
"Ah... That, we were watching a horror movie. Mio-sama usually likes to make strange noises when we do that. You don't have to think about it, Basara-san. Do you want to eat? I can cook something for you."
"I see... No, thank you. I can make ramen for lunch. Maria, you can continue watching the movie with Mio."
"Okay Basara-san~! But please don't go to the second floor, okay?"
"Why?"
"Mio-sama would be embarrassed if her embarrassing appearance while watching a horror movie was seen by you. You know Mio-sama has thin skin, right? She'll get angry if..."
"Don't worry, I don't want to be electrocuted by Mio anymore either."
Basara waved his hand with a reminiscing expression before going to his own bedroom.
Maria breathed a sigh of relief, there was an excited smile on her face. Just in case she installed soundproofing magic on the second floor and after that she returned to Mio's bedroom.
