Chapter 412: The surprised protagonist

Chapter 412: The surprised protagonist

A few minutes later.

Selina had explained the chronology.

Eiji rubbed his chin as if he had a beard even though he didn't.

"So it's because last night every window glass on the west side of the school suddenly broke and caused an uproar in many students."

"This morning the school security officer-"

"Cough! That's Grimoire Security, Eiji. Grimoire Security."

Lilith pretended to cough and corrected. Grimoire Security is basically the organization of school security officers in this school.

But the definition is a bit different, okay?

Not like ordinary school security officers.

The people in Grimoire Security have the sole purpose of removing all impurities in the school.

[Okay is that important?]

Eiji complained in his heart.

Of course it is!

Lilith said firmly in her heart. This is what a teacher must do, she must correct every mistake her students have.

Huh but is Eiji her student? Well, that's not important.

She just wanted to say it.

"...." Put aside those who could hear the inner voice.

Even Selina who couldn't hear it felt that Eiji and Lilith were flirting with each other.

Don't underestimate a woman's sixth sense!

Especially one who was a mage and a reporter at the same time.

Selina was suspicious.

It seemed like Eiji and Lilith's relationship was unusual.

That was fun to investigate but what about Arata? Selina couldn't help but think of a thrilling and painful love triangle.

On one side was the Magic King candidate who was destined to have all the Trinity Seven which meant that if there was no problem. Lilith should be with Arata.

On the other side is the super handsome boy who is one of the guests of honor invited by the principal and has an unusual relationship with Lilith.

Selina had drama in her head.

Eiji didn't know what Selina was thinking. More precisely no one knew what the blonde girl who kept holding her camera was thinking.

"This morning the Grimoire Security members found traces of the breakdown phenomenon at each scene. The Magic King candidate and several other Trinity Seven members who were there also joined the search."

"Selina, do you know where they went?"

[Actually from the original work, I know where they went. It must be that plot, right? It's that plot, I know.]

Then... why are you still asking?

The heroines were silent.

This man really likes to pretend.

Every day he pretends not to know. If one could not hear his inner voice, one would be fooled like Selina who innocently answered.

"I heard that they went to the Eternal Library because the magic fluctuations of the breakdown phenomenon reminded them of something similar in that place."

For some reason, Selina smiled wryly when she mentioned the place called the Eternal Library.

The girl looked rather depressed.

Why?

Rias and the others didn't know the story behind it.

But Lilith knew it was related to the incident that happened to Selina and her older sister in that place a year ago.

Should she explain it?

At this moment Eiji suddenly tapped Selina on the shoulder.

"Selina, leave it to me."

"Eh? Eiji-san, what do you mean?"

Selina was confused, she didn't understand why Eiji said that to her.

Lilith was also confused. But considering what Eiji said in his heart earlier about the plot of the original work.

Eiji probably already knew!

Just like when Eiji found out her true identity.

It was not impossible for the boy to do the same to Selina and her older sister.

"You'll find out later. For now, lead me to the library you said."

Eiji looked very calm when he said that, he was cool to the point of making Gasper marvel.

But his heart was not calm at all.

[I'm in a hurry! In the original work Selina's older sister who was one of the members of Trinity Seven and Grimoire Security was the cause of the breakdown phenomenon in this plot.]

[Since disappearing due to the breakdown phenomenon in the Eternal Library a year ago. That girl is actually trapped inside another dimension that exists in the Eternal Library and is doing crazy things like absorbing the Magic King Element that exists in that place.]

[But leave that aside. It's not important at all.]

The heroines: ???

What? So what's so important that you sound panicked?

Those who had known Eiji long enough didn't even know how the man's circuits worked in this situation.

The clues were too few, they couldn't guess what was making him panic unless...

[What's more important is that I can't let the protagonist Arata steal older sister Selina's innocence! Selina, don't worry, I'll bring Lieselote back!]

Unlike Rias and the other girls in Eiji's group who made expressions of "Oh, so that's what you're worried about."

They weren't surprised at all.

It was Eiji after all.

One of the things that could make him so excited and panicked was definitely what happened to pretty girls.

A beautiful girl whose innocence would be taken away by the protagonist.

It was enough to make Eiji panic.

They felt stupid for not being able to guess it earlier.

However, Lilith was different. She was shocked.

'Absorbing the Magic King Element in the Eternal Library is crazy, but...'

'S-Stealing Liese-san's innocence?! Arata, did that?!'

Lieselote grinned, her smile as charming as a succubus.

"That's easy. Didn't I say I wanted to absorb that boy's Magic King element and the magic of all of you? There's no way I don't have the preparation."

"To do so, I need power and it just so happens that the Eternal Library stores it. I've been absorbing it carefully for a year..."

When she said that, black wings made of black particles appeared on her back and fluctuations as strong as the breakdown phenomenon spread throughout the battlefield.

Instead of a Succubus, Lieselote now looked like a fallen angel.

The appearance of the wings was familiar to the Trinity Seven members because before this, they had seen something similar on Arata who lost control of his Magic King Element in his body.

Except for Arata who was only surprised, the Trinity Seven girls had horrified expressions.

"You, you took the Magic King Element in this place?! Liese Sherlock, you have done something forbidden for a mage! You impurities. As the leader of Grimoire Security, I must remove you." Mira said coldly and the orb in her hand that emitted powerful magic fluctuations.

However, compared to the magic emitted by Lieselote who was now revealing her Magic King Element...

There was a huge gap and Lieselote was clearly superior.

"Senpai, you're fierce as always~ You may try it if you have the ability to defeat me who has successfully absorbed the Magic King Element in the Eternal Library."

Lieselote said with a black magic circle containing many numbers "11011" enveloping her body.

She licked her lips and stared at everyone, especially Arata with the gaze of a predator staring at its prey.

Arata was happy to be stared at aggressively by a girl as beautiful as Lieselote. But knowing the other party's bad intentions, he was also wary and prepared for battle.

"Selina would be sad if she found out big sister became an evil mage. Giving you a few kicks might set you on the right path? Liese."

"Using underhanded means to become a Magic King Candidate like this is worthy of a 'Sloth'. I'll let you feel it with my ninja sword."

Akio and Levi activated their respective magic, they connected to the "Gula" and "Invidia" archives.

Yui and Arin also connected to "Aviritia" and "Ira".

Mira had connected to her archive, Superbia earlier.

"Looks like I have to start getting serious too..." Arata raised his Gremoir, Sora.

{Beat that girl, my Master!}

"O! Connecting to Superbia's archives."

"Execute my theme!"

"Realization!"

{Execute Macro!}

Arata was enveloped in light and instantly his clothes changed into Magus robes and he held a magic gun similar to the one Lilith had.

Before Lilith left for her mission.

She had copied Lilith's alchemist magic with her Astil Manuscript ability.

Unlike Lieselote who was able to steal magic, Arata was able to copy other people's magic.

Both of them have the special ability of cheating.

But—

[This is somewhat different from the original work. Lieselote did not bother to invite Arata to join her in becoming an evil mage. Perhaps because Lilith and Selina weren't there? Ah... It must be because the girl doesn't know how good Selina and the protagonist's relationship is.]

[Well whatever. Isn't it time for an extremely handsome boy to appear on the battlefield with an invincible posture?]

[I'm a humble person and don't like to show off, but in this situation...]

Arata and the members of Trinity Seven were ready to attack at any moment.

But Lieselote suddenly froze which left them confused.

"Oi Liese, what's wrong with you?" Just as Akio asked.

!!!

They all felt magic fluctuations that were even more terrifying than the Magic King Element that Lieselote was emitting.

The other dimensions in the Eternal Library shook.

The orb in Mira's hand that had the ability to reflect magic instantly broke as it had exceeded its limit which made the girl's face pale.

Everyone felt the oppression of magic that suppressed all their magic.

Horrible...!

You see, they were all mages who had mastered their respective archives and held the title of Trinity Seven.

Except Arata of course, but that boy also had the Magic King Element in his body. Although he couldn't control it completely yet, right now his magic power was being suppressed like crazy until Sora shouted frantically.

This magic power...

This is so arrogant!

Who is it? Another Magic King candidate? Paladin? No way, what is a True Demon Lord?!

At the moment when everyone was thinking frantically. The sound of several footsteps was heard along with the voices of a boy and a girl.

"Heh, why did everyone suddenly stop? Strange, I haven't said anything yet... It's true that I wanted to stop the fight, but these people are too smart, right? They immediately understood just from hearing my footsteps."

Hearing what Eiji said.

Pfft!

The members of Trinity Seven and the protagonist Arata who had almost fought earlier had a mental attack.

They almost vomited blood.

What did this guy say?

Suddenly came and mocked them?

"Eiji! Obviously it's because of your excessive magic power. Geez... Don't make fun of people, okay? That's not a good thing."

Lilith who walked after Eiji reprimanded the boy. There was surprise on her beautiful face because she just found out Eiji had that much magic power. This made her even more optimistic about Eiji, he might be able to save this world.

The sacrifices she made with her body before were not in vain!

She walked so close to the boy like a little wife following her husband without noticing Arata's expression who saw the scene.

Selina also followed Eiji, although she didn't say anything, she was also surprised by Eiji's magic power. But more than that, she was looking at her older sister with a complicated gaze.

Of course, she had heard their conversation from earlier and knew the reason Lieselote had never returned for a year.

It wasn't that she couldn't, she just didn't want to because she was busy pursuing power in the Eternal Library.

"Is that my girlfriend's request? Well, I'll work on it." Eiji said.

Lilith blushed and stammered. "What, what are you saying?! Who is your girlfriend? I..."
