Chapter 317: Lesser Key of Solomon
If we talk about the "Lesser Key of Solomon".
Most people will think of the famous figure named "King Solomon". The one who supposedly made a contract with the 72 Pillar Demons and made those creatures obey his orders.
Things about that person vary.
There are many sources that tell about him.
But for Eiji, he was only familiar with that person's name from a novel he read in his previous life.
And he wasn't sure if this "Lesser Key of Solomon" was the same thing he was thinking of.
"Doesn't the Lesser Key of Solomon have to be ten rings? I heard it also said that it takes the form of a magic book that records all the demon summoning techniques included in the 72 Demon Pillars."
In Highschool DxD, the 72 Pillar Demons also exist. Or rather girls like Rias, Sona, Serafall, Grayfia and Ravel are descendants of the devils that belong to the 72 pillars. Here it was called the 72 Clans of which there were now only 32 left because many wars in the past destroyed the rest.
He had mentioned this before.
But put that aside.
Eiji was not familiar with the "Lesser Key of Solomon" that Miss System gave him. Because instead of taking the form of the things he mentioned, it actually took the form of...
[Host, you're not familiar? This is the power of the harem protagonist of a certain novel.]
Since the harem protagonist was mentioned, even though he was still unfamiliar, Eiji somehow immediately understood.
No wonder it wasn't a ring, magic book, or other things.
Makes sense...
It turns out that this is the power the harem protagonist has.
"This appearance... This magic power... Wow! If Leme doesn't remember wrongly, you might be the first person who is more qualified to be my contractor. Through a kiss, make a contract with Leme."
It wasn't long after Eiji got his reward and that time. Instead of being stored in the inventory as usual, because it wasn't even an object, it was a silver-haired young girl with tanned skin and star tattoos in several places such as her forehead, hands and feet.
In a white tunic, the young girl floated in front of Eiji.
She pulled Eiji's head with both hands and brought him in front of her.
Eiji could have blocked those cerry lips, but forget it. This girl was actually pretty and although she was short—maybe as tall as Ophis. As a veteran, he knew not to judge someone by appearance.
He wasn't a Lolicon, but his intuition told him that this was a Legal Loli!
The girl who called herself Leme was a little surprised to see Eiji so calm, but she continued, she kissed his lips gently.
*Chuuu*
Usually it doesn't take long, a short peck is enough. But whether the girl was intentional or not, she kissed Eiji for almost 5 minutes before separating her lips.
At this moment, Eiji could feel a tingling heat transferring from his mouth to his left hand.
He glanced at the back of his hand only to see a red colored star tattoo appear.
With Anos and Varvatos' understanding, it was not difficult to analyze the tattoo. Eiji immediately understood, somewhat similar to a Master-Servant contract where he became the Master and the other party became his servant. However, not only that. This tattoo allowed him to access the power of the girl in front of him under some conditions.
Still, having a star tattooed on his hand would be quite the attention-grabber. Especially when they were now on the roof of the school after he teleported from the World Tree.
Therefore Eiji manipulated the tattoo to make it invisible.
"Fufu, with this, the contract is complete. Ara? W-Where did Leme's contract sign go?! It disappeared?! Did it fail? Then let's kiss again!"
"Okay."
He agreed, the girl kissed his lips again. The *Chuuu* this time was shorter than before and he hurriedly looked at his left arm which still had no star image.
"Still not showing up?! But! But!... Leme is sure that Leme has done it right...!"
Leme looked panicked and confused. The girl referred to herself in the third person.
Eiji thought it was funny.
[You're playing with her, host. You're bad...]
'Shut up. I have a little complaint here. Why of all the Lesser Key of Solomon versions, did you give me the little girl version?!'
[Isn't that great? You even tricked the girl into kissing you twice. You obviously enjoyed it!]
'You're right.'
[You're not denying?]
While Miss System didn't sound surprised at all by the thickness of her host's face.
Eiji moved his left hand in front of the girl's confused gaze. He displayed the previous star tattoo again. "Are you looking for this? Don't worry, you didn't fail. I just hid its appearance."
"Why didn't you tell Leme from the beginning?"
"Who wants to eat you? And no, my favorite type is big and plump. Although...." Eiji didn't say there were figures like Sheila, Koneko and Maria in his harem.
"Although what?" Several times Leme felt that her contractor was about to say something to her but he always refrained because he wanted to surprise her. Leme was right on target! But she didn't know and said, "Whatever it is! Don't underestimate Leme! By being Leme's contractor, you are just like King Solomon. Did you know?"
"I know that guy... He's great."
"Of course! All Leme contractors..."
"Are they all men?"
".... Not really, except Solomon who is eccentric and has no interest in the opposite sex even though I told him to become the Harem King so he could use more of my power. He didn't and only used a fraction of my power. But it was enough to make him a legend. For the rest, they're all girls... What's wrong?"
"Nothing, continue." Eiji looked very satisfied.
"Eh well..." Leme realized that her contractor this time was more possessive than she thought.
But she thought that was good! A Harem King should know how to be possessive of his own things!
Otherwise, the gods of the east would call them prone to having green hats! Leme didn't really understand the meaning, but for the person who was her contractor this kind of thing was a plus.
"Leme has a power called , it's a magic that allows you to use the 10 magic that each demon of the 72 Pillars has. So with Leme's power, you can use 720 kinds of magic that my subordinates have! How, how? Isn't that great?!"
"Leme is the leader of the 72 great Demon Pillars, our power is under your command now!" Leme excitedly explained her greatness. There was a proud expression on her small face.
"Wow that's great."
"Is it just me or... Our King, you're not so excited after knowing my power?"
From my Contractor to our King, Leme found Eiji less than enthusiastic, even after hearing of her prowess. His reaction was still lukewarm, the only thing that made the man interested or at least excited was after hearing of her relationship with her other former contractor.
This was Leme's first time getting a contractor like Eiji. All of her previous ex-contractors would at least be excited after knowing her power.
By the way Leme didn't mention it to the man, but she was summoned to this world. She couldn't remember for sure, but she felt she had made a deal with someone and that person changed her power system to suit this world.
Leme knew she was now in a world that Astrum shouldn't be able to reach. This was a completely different world and the man in front of her, Eiji Seiya was the one she had to serve.
Before she was still a bit dazed, but now her memory was getting clearer.
[...]
"That's just your imagination. Having you is a good addition to me, Leme."
"Leme is just an addition?!"
Of course, how could it not be? After all compared to the various magic Anos possessed...
Eiji was not cruel enough to tell Leme the power of the Tyrannical Demon King which until now he had not even used 100%. At least for now, he had more magic options for him to use when showing off.
Leme knew her current contractor was the strongest of all her contractors in the past simply because the magic power she felt from that man was overwhelming. It was like an ocean—no, perhaps a galaxy wider and more numerous than Astrum where a lot of magic power swirled around.
But that was all Leme knew.
She had no idea how strong her current contractor was other than the amount of magic.
"Still, to use all my power. Our king, there are requirements for that. Because this world is different from my previous world... Originally you needed to make the girls who were Diva contractors from 72 Pillars fall in love with you because I lost my connection with all my subordinates. But now... They've somehow come back to me."
"So what should I do?"
Half an hour later.
Someone broke down the school's rooftop door and walked towards the two people.
"Eiji-sama, this... Huh? Where did you kidnap that little girl from? Eh no, I mean... Who is she?"
"Ravel, I didn't kidnap anyone. How do you think I... forget it, you're back from the Underworld? Introduce, this girl is Leme."
Leme smiled at the girl who had just arrived.
She prepared to introduce herself personally and tell her identity. Leme thought the blonde girl whose hairstyle resembled twin drills would be suitable to be a potential member of her King's harem because she was beautiful! And not only that, she felt the same kind of power of one of her subordinates, Phenex from the girl's body!
It was a bit different, but it was basically a devil with the power of fire that resembled Phenex.
As a Lesser Key of Solomon whose specialty was helping her contractors become Harem Kings, she had the ability to read women's inner voices.
She could help her contractors with this to make it easy for her to please women and gain positive points that allowed her to unlock magic and access the power of the 72 Pillars.
But when Leme heard the blonde girl's inner voice and there was also a transparent screen that displayed the level of positive points that the other party actually had on her contractor. Such things could only be seen by her and her contractors...
Leme was dumbfounded!
