Chapter 361: The elders and the four gods

The group stopped walking, they were interested in what Eiji wanted to do after saying that to Basara.

Glancing at the mountain that Basara had hollowed out a long distance away, Eiji raised one of his hands and—

*Snap!*

With a flick of his finger, an extraordinary scene took place.

Leaving aside the girls there who already knew Eiji's prowess, but Shuuya, Basara and Miss messenger's pupils shrank.

"What the..." Shuuya muttered with surprise in his voice.

Of course, after all, the mountain that Basara had hollowed out and that they had never been able to repair because of the time frozen there for six years had suddenly started repairing itself!

Although it was a long distance of about a hundred meters from their location, it was not difficult for the eyes of a veteran hero like him to see the appearance of large amounts of soil and rocks being created out of thin air and beginning to cover the large hole Basara had made.

Was it earth elemental magic? No!

Shuuya immediately dismissed this guess because it wasn't just dirt and rocks that were repairing the mountain. They saw a green color begin to cover the area.

... Grass and trees began to grow at a speed visible to the eye.

It wasn't long, within ten seconds. The mountain that would originally always be the mark of Basara's tragedy had returned to its original appearance before the tragedy occurred.

The mountain was now almost indistinguishable from the mountains that fortified the Village.

"Time magic." Miss messenger said.

Her words made Shuuya and Basara flinch.

They all looked at Eiji as if asking for an explanation.

Eiji humbly said, "Miss messenger, you're right. I just used time magic to turn back time on that mountain. I happen to know a bit about that magic."

[Of course, I have Time Matter. If I wanted to, I could even manipulate time in the entire world. That would consume a lot of my magic, but it's not impossible and turning back the time of a mountain to six years ago is definitely only a minor problem for me. I don't need to tell them this because it would make me sound arrogant.]

No, you just said it all and we heard it clearly.

Or rather the heroines were numb.

Mio, Yuki, Kurumi and Maria who were there were already numbed by Eiji's power show. So their reaction wasn't much, they just looked at the boy with admiration and love which increased 1 point.

After all who doesn't like their boyfriend showing off and telling the world how strong he is?

... It wasn't them.

However, it was a different story with Shuuya, Miss messenger and Basara who at least saw Eiji's time manipulation for the first time.

"Eiji, thank you... I really..." Basara smiled, he looked at Eiji as if he was his best friend. His good feelings for the boy had skyrocketed.

Although the other party had usurped his two younger sisters, two childhood friends, and his aunt by making them his lover — the slight dissatisfaction and jealousy he had for the boy all this time disappeared.

Eiji was his best friend and brother-in-law.

Basara felt a stone that had been hanging over his heart fall, making him very relieved although there was still a hint of regret that his friends he had killed in the past would not be able to return.

However, he remembered he still had the system to fulfill his expectations. He just needed to work hard for it.

"I told you it was just a piece of cake for my friend, you're welcome." Eiji said very kindly to the protagonist Basara.

This scene made Shuuya feel that his future son-in-law was more pleasing to the eye. Not only love, he also valued friendship.

And not only Shuuya, but...

[Sapphire +15]

Miss messenger, your real name is revealed!

Eiji wasn't surprised, after all he already knew the woman was one of Basara's mothers.

That was Sapphire. Leme seemed to have locked her as a target which allowed her to see the woman's positive level.

The other five points seemed to come from the initial impression she had first shown him before they got on the car.

Seeing as he was so kind to her son, how could she not have a good impression of him? Right now Eiji knew he was already on the right track, he just needed to be more kind to Basara in front of the woman and continue to increase her positive level.

After that....

[I knew it, there's no way my host is suddenly so nice to the protagonist. Turns out he has ulterior motives!]

'Miss System, what are you saying? Don't yell too loud! Hey I obviously care a lot about Basara who is sentimental because he remembers his trauma. I'm helping him because he's my friend!'

[I believe in you, host.]

Miss System said that but Eiji felt that the woman didn't believe in his words at all.

The heroines on the scene were also smiling at Eiji's actions, but those who were smart enough felt something was wrong.

Especially Maria, she noticed that while showing off his power and kindness to Basara, Eiji often glanced at the miss messenger.

[Maria: Hmm... Puhehe, mom. That miss messenger is Basara's mother, right?]

And even crazier is Basara's aunt Chisato/Arifureia who is Raphaeline's cousin.

Even so, in the end the women date another boy.

That boy is Basara's friend, Eiji Seiya.

Just like Jin, Sapphire suspects that the boy stole her son's wedding dress on purpose!What surprised her was that not long ago Sheila, her brother's ex-girlfriend also turned out to be Eiji's woman!

Although she didn't want to admit it, she recognized that Eiji was very handsome, more handsome than her son and the first time she saw him she immediately suppressed her prejudice against the boy.

Eiji was also strong, he could use that much time manipulation inside the barrier of the Hero Clan. That disgusting barrier didn't seem to affect him at all.

Moreover, based on what he had just heard.

Eiji really cared about her son.

She might have misunderstood him?

[Sapphire +7]

...

The group finally reached a building and entered it.

In front of them was a room called the Sanctuary or it could also be called the Ceremony Room.

This was the room where the elders usually gathered and was the most important room in the Village.

"Elders, I've brought Mio Naruse and the others." Shuuya knocked on the door and said.

"You've finally come. Come in." An old man's voice from inside the room sounded.

The door was opened and they walked in.

Except for Eiji, Basara and the other demons could feel the power of the barrier in the room was much stronger.

Of course, there was a reason why this was the most important room in the Village. It was because inside were the 7 sources of the dimensional barrier that enveloped the Village.

In addition to the three old men sitting on the stage and looking down on them from a considerable height. There were three weapons and a green light confined within the glass display case.

In the original work, those weapons were spirit weapons that each had a God residing within them. Four Chinese Gods to be precise, one of which was "Byakko". It was supposed to be the silver spear used by the blonde hero who was killed with Shiba Kyouichi.

That kind of white god was apparently still alive in the form of green light now, its power fluctuations weaker than the one Eiji had felt two months ago.

Eiji was not surprised and thought the little god was lucky that Excalibur's ultimate attack only destroyed the container.

However this must be the reason why the faces of the three seated old men had a more unfriendly expression than the original work.

"You can all sit down. Shuuya, give us a report." One of the elders said.

He and the other two had titles that gave them names representing the three mountains that were said to be the abode of Japanese gods.

The elder who had just spoken was named "Fuji" and the other two were "Kumano" and "Atsusa". To reach their current position, they must be strong even though they look weak because they are really weak. That was because they used most of their strength to supply the Village's dimensional barrier energy.

Eiji knew they were so confident to invite them to this room because in this room, the effect of the barrier became stronger.

However, that had nothing to do with him. He and the others sat down.

After the three old men listened to the report Shuuya said, their expressions became more serious and they looked at him more warily.

"Welcome to the Village. Especially you, Basara. It's been a long time since we-"

Before Fuji finished his words and pretended to be friendly, Eiji interrupted him by saying.

"Let's get rid of the unnecessary nonsense. It was you three who called us here, right?"

"I hope you guys have a good reason for doing so. Let's not waste my time having fun in my woman's hometown and get to the point."

"Otherwise, I'll be unhappy and you old man— you won't be able to bear the consequences."

"You... You're Eiji Seiya, right?" Fuji whose words were interrupted was clearly displeased. The smile on his old face disappeared.

The other two elders frowned.

While the other girls were fine and made expressions as if watching the show.

Basara was a little nervous, he didn't expect Eiji to be that aggressive towards the elders. He himself was not afraid of the old people who had expelled him and his father from the Village in the past, but still he originally thought of talking nicely and not starting a fight.

After all in his mind it would be troublesome if they became enemies of the Hero Clan.

However, Eiji. What was he doing?
