Chapter 432: We’re friends!

Chapter 432: We're friends!

Moments later after Astral Trinity sealed himself and went back to sleep.

The man even gave all his Magic King Element to Arata and the boy now had double the Magic King Element from before.

Although he still needed to practice controlling it.

But, in this situation...

One could say that behind adversity there is gain. Eiji who had taken the hearts of several girls in Trinity Seven felt it was fair to Arata.

He didn't feel guilty now.

His conscience was clear.

Right Miss System?

[Don't ask me, I'm not sure.]

Just say yes. Being tense will only delay the progress of the conversation.

[Host, what you're doing now is delaying the conversation.]

Eiji blinked his eyes a few times.

Right Leme?

[My king, I will always support you in conquering beautiful women to have them join your harem. After all, you are the Harem King!]

This Loli seemed to always agree as long as he acted like a Harem King who was greedy for beauty.

This made it even harder for Eiji to restrain himself as the saying goes: People grow into who they are now because of their environment and the people around them.

So it wasn't his fault for being like this.

"Um... Sorry for troubling you all. And Eiji, thank you."

Arata who had regained his body bowed to everyone. As Eiji said, he did remember what he had done when Astral Trinity took over his body and felt guilty for attacking everyone.

At the same time, he also felt nervous and afraid of Eiji.

What form was that? Eiji was really a Demon Lord and his power was outrageous! Although now the boy looked like his usual self, Arata still clearly remembered Eiji in Demon Lord Varvatos mode.

The man inside him even ran away and gave all his money to him because of Eiji's threats.

This also made Arata grateful to Eiji.

"Hmph. You really remember what you did earlier?" Mira asked.

Arata nodded, "Yes I felt like I was watching a movie at the time."

"So that's right..."

"Right? What's right?" Arata was confused. He knew Mira probably disliked him even more because of what Astral Trinity had done earlier.

But, why did he feel that there was more to it than that that made the girl even more distant from him?

Mira snorted, she couldn't tell that what she meant was the fact that Arata remembered everything he did when the Astral Trinity took over his body.

It was in accordance with what Eiji had said which made her trust his inner voice even more.

Even so, Mira was not a narrow-hearted girl. After Arata apologized to all of them, she was reasonable.

"It's nothing. It wasn't you after all, Arata-san. We weren't hurt either because Eiji-san easily defeated Astral Trinity."

When talking about Eiji, Arata could hear Mira's voice softer than usual.

He sighed and felt bitter in his heart. Before there was Lieselote who was Eiji's girlfriend, and Lilith who seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with the boy. Now Mira too?

Although Arata was sure he was not really in love with Mira who was often rude to him and called him an "impure man", he felt a loss in his heart.

However, unlike before where he went berserk and became Astral Trinity because of the green feeling in his heart. He was calmer now.

It was like when he reluctantly gave up Lieselote to Eiji.

Arata wondered if he still had a chance to make the girls in Trinity Seven fall in love with him? After seeing the power Eiji had shown earlier that made even the Magic King inside him helpless until his face was stepped on, he felt his confidence as the protagonist shaken.

"Master, it's good to have you back!"

"Arata-san, I'm glad you're okay..."

Sora and Ilia were glad Arata had returned. Except for Radix, she didn't say anything and returned to Eiji's side.

Arata scratched the back of his head with a smile, his mood quickly recovering.

At this moment, Eiji patted the boy's shoulder. "Well Arata. Aren't we friends? As friends, it's only natural for us to help each other."

If Rito and Basara heard this. Especially the latter, they would definitely be very familiar with this style of painting.

When Eiji said "friend". It wasn't entirely literal.

The protagonists who had a lot of experience in dealing with Eiji at least knew the boy was shameless.

I mean which 'friend' dates all the pretty girls including their ex-fiancées, aunts and mothers? Which friend has his eye on his friend's little sister? To Rito, Eiji was a dangerous plastic friend! He had to keep Mikan away from that boy.

Only Basara truly thought of Eiji as a brother after he helped him find his mother. But, who knows what he did after finding out his mother, Sapphire had slept with Eiji.

There was also Raphaeline, Basara still didn't know she was now living in Eiji's house.

Whenever asked about this, Eiji would make excuses like "I'm afraid Basara will be sad knowing his other mother doesn't remember him. So let's wait until I manage to help Raphaeline."

Help in what way? Of course help that woman in many ways...

"Eiji, you're right. We're friends!"

Unfortunately between Rito and Basara. Arata was more inclined to follow the latter's lead. He was touched to hear that Eiji considered him a friend even though he had always disliked him somewhat.

Yesterday Eiji had also said that he was his friend. But, at that time he still doubted it.

Now it's different...!

Put aside in the matter of women. Who says a man can't be friends with another man who wants women around him?

No, this is a bit wrong... But they had agreed to compete fairly! It was okay, Arata considered Eiji his friend from now on.

Eiji didn't know Arata was really moved by what he said. He actually didn't think much of it and walked over to Ilia who had innocently gathered with them.

"Your name is Ilia, right? Just like Radix and Sora. You're also a gremoire. I was wondering what I should do with you? After all, you had previously tried to lock up Arata and kill Sora. Mira was even almost humiliated by the demons you created."

"Heh of course, I'm back! Luckily there were Eiji and Radix who came to help. Otherwise it would have been troublesome..."

"Akio... You don't know but earlier this impure man turned into the evil and troublesome Astral Trinity."

"Ugh... M-Mira, hey didn't I apologize for that?"

"Master, have you forgotten? Mira is a tsundere girl."

"I-I'm not a tsundere!"

It seemed like, out of everyone. Only Lilith was so surprised by Ilia's villain identity. As for the others?

Eiji was laughing with Akio. Lieselote was naughty as usual, she was hugging the boy's arm with her big breasts. Any man would feel happy and Eiji was no exception, he hugged Lieselote's slender waist which made the girl a little embarrassed.

[What a great welcome! Who is the man who doesn't smile in this situation? It's definitely not me. Liese is so fragrant!]

Hearing this, Liese felt sweet in her heart.

What situation is Eiji referring to? It must be hugging her body, right? Perverted man.

But if it was Eiji, even when his hands hugged her waist dishonestly, Lieselote didn't mind. Or rather she felt excited and hugged the man's arm tighter.

Mira who saw the scene gritted her teeth.

This man...! He praised Liese-san in his heart. It's also not the first time I've seen them hugging, but why do I feel uncomfortable now?

Akio who noticed her best friend's expression grinned. It seemed like tonight she would have to ask Mira for details of what happened.

"...." Lilith's lips twitched. Couldn't these people be more serious?

Eiji, Arata and the others were understandable. But even the usually serious Mira seemed to be having fun right now.

Lilith was a little sad, she felt abandoned which made her look at Eiji who was hugged by Lieselote with a frown.

She wondered if he remembered calling her his girlfriend? He even said he would take responsibility after kissing her and making her drink his yogurt!

Wait, what was she thinking? Lilith shook her head frantically. Her face was almost as red as her hair.

"...." Radix. She felt someone tugging at her skirt.

"Radix-san, Radix-san. These girls are Trinity Seven, right? After what I did they don't seem to hate me either." Ilia said.

"And what do you really want? By the way Ilias Fragment, stop pulling my skirt."

"Sorry."

Ilia removed her hand from Radix's skirt.

Radix rolled her eyes. She felt Ilia was a more ridiculous gremoire than her daughter.

A while after everyone stopped talking to each other. Unlike in the original work where Arata fainted due to running out of magic and the Trinity Seven who were on the scene decided to rest in one of the ruins at school.

With Eiji who had changed the plot. They could immediately return to Royal Biblia Academy.

But before that happened, Ilia suddenly remembered something and said to everyone nervously.

"Excuse me, can I say something?"

"Ilia, say it." Eiji said. He could actually slightly guess what the green-haired girl wanted to say.

This plot wasn't finished yet...

They couldn't just jump to a pleasant evening or to another day. Eiji sighed, the corner of his eye peeking in a certain direction.

"You guys might not know, but actually-"

Before Ilia finished her words. The figure that had long hidden its presence behind another dimension came out and revealed itself.

It was a beautiful light blue-haired girl in a black robe. Unlike the fake one, this time it was the real thing.

She is ....

"Ilia, you failed and betrayed me. It's fine if you're with Arata, but another man? That's unexpected."

Everyone except Eiji immediately became alert, they didn't realize the existence of the other party before she took the initiative to show herself.

It was none other than Arata's cousin, Hijiri Kasuga who the boy had been looking for all this time.

"Hijiri? It's really you this time!" Arata was surprised and happy to see his cousin. He stared at the figure of the girl standing among the ruins of the school fountain in a daze.

Hijiri was initially indifferent and even said coldly when mentioning Ilia's betrayal.

But when Arata called out to her, her expression immediately softened and there was a slight blush on her cheeks.

[Tsk! This seems difficult.]

The heroines who could hear Eiji's inner voice wondered what was difficult?

So far the man didn't have anyone who could defeat him.

He slapped anyone he wanted.

Not long ago he even stepped on the face of the Magic King, Astral Trinity.

... Wait. Are we still talking about the same 'difficult'?

"Hehe Arata, you're right. It's me." Hijiri even changed her voice to soft. She looked at the other girls including Eiji and said, "You now have many friends. I heard you became a mage to save me, I'm happy."

[At this moment, I wish there was a meteor that suddenly fell from the sky. No, a meteor is not enough. It would probably be good if a huge black hole suddenly appeared above the school. Too bad I didn't bring Lala here.]

Trinity Seven and Radix who were at the scene glanced at Eiji who seemed calm and indifferent.

This man was thinking about something scary. Why? Who is Lala? So if that girl was here, she could create a black hole?

Just thinking about that scene made them shudder. Luckily that girl named Lala wasn't here!
