Chapter 271: Susanoo vs Chaos
Before coming here with Susanoo, Eiji had finished his conversation with Liala. Love does make fools of people, but that doesn't mean some of them wouldn't feel disgusted if their loved ones were soiled by the same sex― cough, cough, poor Leohart. There was actually no hatred between them, but this was what happened.
"Wait! Eiji-kun, Onee-chan... Onee-chan has an offer for you!"
Liala got up and bit her lip. Her breasts that were no less big than Mio's swayed and looked almost out of her toga-like dress. Eiji who was about to leave turned around with an expressionless face at that moment.
"Offer? Don't tell me you still want me to revive Leohart? Tell me, what's in it for me? I'm not in the mood for charity."
Who had previously blabbed several times that he didn't mind helping her in his heart?
Liala thought Eiji was the best man to define a two-faced man, what he said in his heart was different from what he showed ― usually this was the type of man Liala disliked, but what could she do? Although what happened to Leohart before he died disgusted her and shook her love. Liala made up her mind, at least as long as Leohart could be revived, she would sacrifice herself.
Eiji was stronger than her and actually very handsome, he was at least dozens of times better than those disgusting old men in the Demon Council, especially Belphegor who wanted her body.
"Hey don't look at me like I'm the villain here, you're the one who wants to ask for my help."
"Fufu. You're not? Onii-chan~"
"...." Eiji froze, he looked at Liala in disbelief.
"How about it, if you agree... You will become my Onii-chan."
Liala obviously smiled falsely, Eiji shook his head and looked at the woman amusedly.
"No thanks. Do you think I have a fetish like that? I admit your voice sounded good when you said that, but it's not enough."
"Onii-chan, you're too greedy~"
"You're free to forget this."
"....."
Liala was dizzy, there were so many things she first felt from a man in one day. For example Eiji, he's a shameless man... Surprisingly she didn't hate him, didn't even feel disgusted. This feeling made Liala feel guilty towards Leohart.
Liala sighed.
"Okay, Onee-chan promised."
"Sorry, what did you promise?" Eiji pretended not to understand.
Liala's lips twitched, this guy obviously knew but pretended not to know, he even forced a woman to say such a thing! Liala glanced at Bella and wondered why she was silent? Wasn't she greedy for her too? She honestly expected the two to fight even though the outcome was obvious.
Bella noticed Liala's gaze, but she turned her gaze in another direction which left the blonde woman confused. Where was the shameless woman before? Why was she now so quiet and obedient like a kitten? Liala was also actually curious what kind of relationship Eiji and Bella had. The former also inexplicably called the latter the female protagonist.
In fact from everything she heard from the inner voice, Liala began to understand that from the perspective of these two people ― she seemed to be a novel character or something. Liala didn't really care about this, she just wanted Eiji to agree to help her.
In the end after Liala said it, although Eiji knew the woman was forced ― he believed that as long as he managed to straighten her out, it was not impossible to make Liala fall in love with him. From the start subtle tricks would indeed be ineffective to get Liala who was already a brocon, he had to be petty and pushy without seeming pushy.
Liala seemed to eat this set well.
Next up was Bella, Eiji began to wonder should he paralyze the female protagonist and force her to spew out all the plots she knew?
"Can I go? Eiji, I'm not looking for trouble with you. I didn't even interrupt you when you were picking up women!"
Bella just wanted to run, she felt that Eiji had just looked at her with a dangerous gaze. Although she was a little excited ― Bella didn't want to test what exactly Eiji wanted to do to her.
Liala still had to wait for Leohart to be revived, she couldn't protest to Eiji about this. Still, she glanced curiously at Bella who wanted to escape from Eiji.
Eiji showed a harmless smile at the female protagonist.
"So you really are Bella, your appearance is different from when we last met."
"Ah... Wait, my appearance!"
Bella seemed to have just remembered that Eiji had learned her true appearance for the first time. But why did he recognize it right away before? She swallowed and looked at Eiji nervously. There was actually no problem about this, it was just that she didn't know what Eiji wanted to do to her.
"No need to be afraid, I won't eat you. Actually I suddenly had an idea."
"Idea? What idea?" Bella thought of a bad premonition.
Eiji walked closer to Bella, he lowered his head because the woman's head was only at the level of his chin.
As expected... Long black hair, pale white skin, thin pink lips. Her figure was slender type with long legs that looked fragile but did not lack assets in the chest and ass.
Unlike the curvaceous and voluptuous Liala, the Devil God Bella's figure is actually not much different from Liala's but looks pure and untouched. Unfortunately women with looks this good are crooked from the inside. Serafall was an exception as she was now straight, the woman in front of him was different ― she didn't show it clearly now, but Eiji could see her small gaze on Liala which revealed a lot of her skin and flesh. He would have to ask Liala to wear clothes that covered more of her skin later. At least when she was in public.
?{Host, you're possessive as usual.}
Not really... I won't mind if Liala doesn't wear anything if only in front of me.
?{It's the same thing.}
Really?
Eiji was joking with Miss System, but on the surface, his eyes turned to Rinne Sharingan ― he wanted to test something whether the female protagonist was immune to genjutsu?
"What?! Eiji, you dare― Ah! Don't look, don't look!"
Bella hurriedly closed her eyes when she saw Eiji showing those eyes from this close range. She could slightly guess what that man wanted to do to her!
But Bella didn't know, it was too late for her to dodge. Just like Naruto who thought Itachi was incapable of using genjutsu on him as long as he didn't look him in the eye which eventually slapped him in the face. Bella's current situation was similar ― when she opened her eyes, she felt a little dizzy; but she felt there was nothing wrong with her mind.
She looked at Eiji whose eyes had returned to normal.
"What did you do to me?"
"What did I do? Bella, we're talking about what you put into Chaos."
"Huh?"
"You look confused. Are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine!"
Bella gasped and her face turned red as Eiji placed his hand on her forehead. If it was any other man, she would have felt so disgusted. It wasn't for no reason, Bella hated men for two lifetimes, no man had ever hurt her or anything like that ― it was just that from the beginning she always felt uncomfortable whenever a man touched her so she started to keep her distance from the opposite sex and this became a habit so she thought she hated men and liked women.
She was just sick and her illness seemed to have gotten better because she didn't feel any rejection when Eiji touched her.
The smile in Eiji's eyes was getting stronger, right now Bella didn't even know if what she was thinking was what she was really thinking or not. Sharingan is an eye that is able to affect a person's senses and memories so it has the ability to hypnotize a person just from a mere glance and for a limited period of time. However, the Rinne Sharingan is crazier, it has abilities that are hundreds of times more powerful than the regular Sharingan and its genjutsu is capable of affecting one's memory and psyche to a frightening degree and without any time limit.
Unless the target possesses Rinnegan, or Bijuu chakra, or thinks of an extremely high resistance to mental attacks ― it is almost impossible for them to escape the genjutsu that they are not even aware of.
The female protagonist Bella is no exception. She did not have the ability to resist his genjutsu.
Eiji was not too fond of using this ability to change one's will, he also only changed a few things in Bella's memory such as her Yuri tendencies.
Just because Bella was a troublesome woman, and killing her was tantamount to making Miss System's acquaintance possibly send another annoying protagonist ― this was the best way to deal with Bella quickly and easily.
If it were any other woman, as long as it didn't have the troublesome like Bella, Eiji wouldn't use this ability that actually resembled a hentai protagonist. Although he was often unscrupulous when dealing with his enemies, he also still had moral integrity to some extent.
?{Host, sometimes I don't know if you're too soft or masochistic. You like to do things in a complicated and troublesome way.}
Calling your host like that is too harsh hey!
?{That's why you're my host. Now let's finish this plot!}
"You don't need to beg me Ramusas-san. This hasn't happened long ago, I should also be able to revive the people who just died here."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Please do it."
Although Lundvall was not his territory, Ramusas was actually more concerned about the number of demons that died because of this incident. After all, they were still the people of the Demon Realm and it just so happened that his future son-in-law, Eiji was reliable in this regard.
In front of everyone, Eiji flicked his finger and the world seemed to flash with blue light and what happened next was a time reversal scene where all the destroyed buildings and people who died because of Chaos returned to the moment before the match started. Eiji excluded Chaos of course, the people from Demon Council and Leohart were the same.
While the girls were still admiring Eiji who still had that much power after the battle ended and Ramusas who was relieved to see many citizens of Lundvall cheering for their group― especially Eiji who was adored by the people who were supposed to be part of the Demon Lord Faction.
Many people from the Demon Lord Faction wondered where Demon Lord Leohart was when the city and its people were attacked. Honestly, they were disappointed and their hearts were more inclined towards the Moderate Faction that had helped them a lot. Not only did they repair their homes, they also revived their family members.
If the voting for the real Demon Lord candidate was done now, many of them would definitely support Mio or Eiji who were from the Moderate Faction. Ramusas weren't bad either, they didn't mind supporting Wilbert's older brother.
Above the walls of Lundvall Castle.
"That guy really has the ability to bring people back to life... He's not lying, but why didn't he revive Leo-kun at the same time?"
Liala pouted, obviously they had made a deal. But when exactly would Eiji keep his promise? Liala stomped her foot on the ground in annoyance.
"I think you should give him a down payment first. Otherwise, who knows if you'll turn your face around after your younger brother is revived."
"Huh? Onee-chan won't do that! Onee-chan's not the type to break her promise!"
"Who knows..."
Bella looked at Liala who was sulking like a little girl, even as her breasts bounced. She wasn't as excited as usual which confused her. Bella wondered what was wrong with her? No, isn't this normal?
And why was she here instead of running away? Bella wanted to, but the beautiful girls dressed all in black made her unable to do that.
Bella knew those girls were Eiji's subordinates and they were assigned to watch over her and Liala. They weren't weak either, fighting with them was the same as offending Eiji and making the man angry.
Don't know why, but Bella didn't have the courage to run away.
"Miss Liala, Miss Bella. My name is Alpha and the other two are Zeta and Epilson."
Alpha introduced herself and the other two and continued, "Eiji-sama asked you two to follow us and take part in the training."
"That guy wants Onee-chan to take part in training?"
"What training... Can I refuse?"
Liala and Bella looked at each other. The former never expected that she would share the same fate as the black-haired woman.
Alpha's previously rather friendly expression became cold. The blonde elf was clearly unhappy with the rejection of the two women in front of her.
Zeta and Epilson also looked at the two unfriendly as if they were offended.
The aura they exuded, especially Zeta's murderous intent was so cold it made Liala and Bella swallow.
"Are you sure you want to refuse? Then I'll report it to Eiji-sama."
"Forget Miss Bella. Miss Liala who wants Eiji-sama to revive her little brother... Are you worthy?"
"You're threatening Onee-chan?" Liala smiled with a dark aura around her.
Alpha was not afraid and nodded. "You can think of it that way. So what's your answer now?"
Eiji actually only asked Alpha to educate Liala and Bella because even though the latter had been given genjutsu. They were still a little twisted by nature, especially the former because she still thought of her younger brother.
Eiji left the matter to Alpha because he knew in the original work, Alpha was basically a mother in Shadow Garden who was good at educating troubled girls.
Alpha was happy to do it for Eiji, she would educate Liala and Bella so that they would not think of any man other than their master. It just so happened that the World Tree had grown so much, the time they spent there was different from in this world.
It wouldn't take long for Eiji to wait for Alpha to complete her task. Alpha was also very confident to educate the two women.
"..."
Liala and Bella had no idea what Eiji was planning to have an elven girl who looked younger than them train them. But unlike Liala, Bella could actually slightly guess what the purpose of this training was.
But...
She couldn't refuse - this feeling of humiliation was actually not bad.
...
One day has passed since the incident of the rise of the Demon God, Chaos. Upon investigation it turned out that it was not just that ― all members of the Demon Council including their leader, Belphegor were found dead. Not only that, the leader of the Demon Lord Faction, Leohart's whereabouts were also nowhere to be found which made Balflear anxious and for a while he had to try to handle the discontent of the people in the Demon Lord Faction because the leader was suspected to be dead!
Many of them defected to the Moderate Faction which gave Balflear a headache. With Luka who had also been revived by Eiji after the Chaos incident, Balflear was temporarily able to handle the internal matters of the Faction and attempted to summon Leohart's [Eight Demon Generals] back from exile.
For now they were waiting while resolving other issues although the new Demon Lord candidate had already been decided which Faction he would be from by a vote.
In Wilbert Castle, the throne room, Ramusas looked at Mio and her group. His voice was softer than usual. The man was clearly in a good mood because 90% of everyone in Demon Realm was now in favor of the Moderate Faction.
Those people happily wanted the Moderate Faction to lead Demon Realm. And with the absence of the Demon Council, there was no need to worry about those people making trouble.
"Mio, are you sure you want to refuse?"
Mio also looked at her uncle― more precisely her father who was still pretending and actually asking if she wanted to become the leader of the Moderate Faction and become the first Demon Queen to lead Demon Realm in history? Mio shook her head.
"No, I've already decided to continue living in the human world with Eiji and the others after this."
"Leading the Moderate Faction or leading the Demon Realm... I'm too young for that, I'll leave that to you... Uncle."
Ramusas took a breath. "I understand. You are free to refuse of course."
The old man looked regretful, not because of Mio's refusal as he had expected her refusal. But what made Ramusas regretful was the way Mio called him.
Although Ramusas knew he could have told Mio that he was her father and he vaguely felt Mio already knew he was actually Wilbert ― Ramusas convinced himself that it was better this way considering he was not really a good father to the girl.
Mio was silent, she didn't hate her father. However she didn't like him much either after what she went through before she met Eiji. Their relationship seemed destined to be awkward and not very good like a typical father and daughter.
Sheila who was watching with Lucia and Noel from the side sighed. In terms of emotions, Wilbert sucked as usual and that was why he broke up with her in the past.
[If this was in the original work, Ramusas wouldn't have bothered to ask Mio if she wanted to inherit Wilbert's robes and become the leader of the Demon Realm after the Chaos incident. But now? Mio has shown that her power is stronger than his and more people support the Moderate Faction―]
[Demon Realm became more of a peaceful place because the Demon Council was wiped out and the Demon Lord Faction lost Leohart. With all this, I wonder if Mio's aunt, and Basara's mother, Sapphire will show up?]
The serious atmosphere in the room was shattered...
All the women except Noel glanced at Eiji who on the surface seemed to be a good audience. Eiji ignored their gazes and pretended not to know.
"Eiji, what about you, are you interested in becoming a Demon Lord?"
