Chapter 456: Arata falls in love and panics
The next day.
The Magic School Tournament finally began. That day, Royal Biblia Academy was more crowded than usual.
Because not only students at that school. The students from Royal Akasha Academy had also come to watch the tournament. They were all now seated in the spectator seats of the arena that encircled the white landscape as large as a football field.
What about the students from Royal Liber Academy? It was rather dark and depressing, but except for Master Liber and his two disciples: Hijiri and Lugh.
None of them came.
Those students sitting with food and drinks in their hands didn't feel strange at all.
They felt it made sense.
After all, according to rumors circulating in the supernatural world, the students and teachers at the school disappeared in one night and the school was destroyed because it was attacked by a group of notorious evil mages called Iscariots.
The students and teachers at Royal Liber Academy may be dead.
But as a person who knew the original work, Eiji was also actually unsure because the original work and the Wiki in his previous life did not explain this.
The leader of Iscariot was Master Liber. Possibly, that woman might have killed people in her own school for her own purposes or she invited them to join Iscariot to create a conspiracy.
The members of Iscariot who were slaughtered by his girls a few days ago. Perhaps they were the students and teachers of the Royal Liber Academy.
However, to satisfy people's curiosity.
Eiji asked directly to the pink-haired woman sitting beside him. They were now sitting on the VIP seats which were basically the academy's extremely high railings.
"Miss Liber, I have a question."
"Eiji, what's wrong?"
Suddenly asked her while they were waiting for the match to start. Master Liber looked at the handsome boy sitting so close beside her with some discomfort.
They were too close, right?
Originally every seat there was arranged at a distance that was not close together.
But a moment ago Eiji pulled her chair closer to him.
This shameless action made Master Liber's lips twitch.
Still, what did the boy want to ask her? His handsome face looked serious, this was probably something important.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"...."
Eiji's question left the woman speechless.
[Host, your question is wrong.]
Wrong?
[Yeah aren't you supposed to ask "What do you do to the students and teachers at your school?" or something like that.]
Does it matter?
[You were thinking about that.]
Miss System said flatly.
Eiji admitted that but people could change their minds.
He was the same way. Rather than thinking about an unimportant extra character. Whether Master Liber had a boyfriend or not was more curious.
If she had one or even had a husband who was not mentioned in the original work out there...
Eiji was worried that he would have to do it as usual.
[You mean the green hat operation?]
He ignored Miss System and played with Master Liber's pink drill. The woman's hairstyle reminded him of Ravel and Lady Phenex.
The only unfortunate thing right now was that she was in her loli form.
She was not in her adult form.
Hey that's really disappointing.
"I don't know why you're looking at me with a disappointed look. But no, I don't have a boyfriend." Master Liber said with a mischievous smile and pulled her hair out of Eiji's hand.
She didn't want her hair that she had been styling for half an hour this morning to be messed up.
Eiji was relieved but as a person with the last name "Seiya". He had to ask about this topic in more detail.
Otherwise, his ancestors would be disappointed.
"Oh. What about the husband? As a Heavenly Arbitrator who has lived a long time. Have you ever gotten married?"
"I have never done so."
"Why? Miss Liber is beautiful. I'm sure she has no shortage of suitors."
[Especially in her mature form. In addition to her hot figure, Master Liber has two large weapons of destruction. Tsk, Tsk. Arata in the original work never had the chance to see her real figure.]
[Otherwise, he would have been interested in seducing her like he did Trinity Seven with the help of his protagonist halo that made even yesterday's enemy into his friend later on.]
[Any woman would fall in love with him and Master Liber is probably no exception. But with me here, don't worry. I won't let Arata fool them all with his protagonist halo.]
[It's definitely not because I'm attracted to those women's beauty. Well maybe a little. The reason why some of them like Hijiri and Lugh joined my harem too...]
[It was because they were mesmerized by my good looks. I didn't seduce them at all.]
The heroines and all the women who heard this fell silent.
Bah! Bah! Can't believe it!
You are shameless as always!
It was obviously you who seduced us first.
This school tournament is also actually a festival at Royal Biblia Academy. So not only is watching the tournament the main event of the day. But the students from each school are also welcome to enjoy the things sold by the students at Royal Biblia Academy.
Apart from the food and beverage stands. There was a maid cafe with Akio, Mira and Lieselote inside. There is also a wide variety of other entertainment.
For the maid cafe at school, Arata had gone there because he wanted to see the girls in Trinity Seven wearing maid uniforms.
But he was refused to order at the cafe because there was a rule that only girls could order there.
Arata had no choice but to give up but if it was Eiji who came there. He would probably vomit blood because unlike him, Eiji was allowed to enter and enjoy the services of Lieselote and the others.
Arata was now walking around and buying food at the stand that the students had set up on the school street.
He was eating cotton candy on a long chair alone and staring at the passing students in a daze.
'Why am I doing this?'
Arata even wondered in his heart. At this moment he obviously had to get ready for the school tournament because in his eyes, this was a good opportunity for him to show off.
He was not worried about being defeated by Eiji again because from the principal, he had heard that the boy would not be participating in this tournament which made him very happy.
As long as he managed to get first place in this tournament. Arata felt that it was not impossible for the girls in Trinity Seven who were cold to him to like him again like before.
He had heard that some of Eiji's girls would also be participating. But Arata wasn't worried at all because he now felt he could beat those girls.
Arata was very confident.
Eiji could beat him but not the girls.
When he was fantasizing about Lilith and the other Trinity Seven looking at him with admiration. He suddenly heard a soft and pleasant girl's voice in his ear.
"Excuse me, are you this school's Magic King Candidate?"
Just as Eiji had said. Anatasia actually approached Arata.
The girl stood not far from Arata with a smile that made Arata dazed and excited.
{A very beautiful girl! From her uniform, she looks like a student of the Royal Akasha Academy. Somehow she reminds me of Lilith. Ah it must be because she's as beautiful as Lilith! Her figure is also comparable to that of that girl.}
{I-It's... I feel like it's been a long time since a beautiful girl spoke to me in such a gentle tone. Since Eiji's arrival, my popularity among the Trinity Seven and the girls at school has decreased. But now?}
{My popular phase will rise again! I'm going to fly with this girl!}
Arata did not notice Anatasia's suddenly slightly raised eyebrows. He was still immersed in her beauty and looked at her dazedly.
Even without being influenced by Annatasia's spirit, Arata felt he had fallen in love at first sight and his heart was beating fast.
The crazy protagonist, his cheeks flushed like a girl which made the few students who saw him feel a little disgusted.
"Ano... Hey did you hear me?" Anatasia asked again.
Arata gasped, he realized that he had shown his stupid side, even the cotton candy he had just bought in his hand had fallen to the ground.
He hurriedly controlled his expression, got up from the chair and smiled. "Ah. Sorry, I heard you. And... Y-Yes, I'm this school's Magic King Candidate. My name is Arata Kasuga! W-What's your name?"
Arata stammered, he cursed himself.
{Stay calm, idiot! I'm too nervous, what if that girl's favorability on me drops a few points? No! I have to calm down and show her how handsome I am as a Magic King Candidate. I'll make her fall in love with me hehe.}
Many heroines were disgusted.
They knew they were biased. But it wasn't without reason because the way Eiji and Arata said things in their inner voices had different styles even though both were equally perverted.
Eiji's inner voice is silly and funny even though he often sounds perverted.
But the protagonist? He was perverted but at the same time sounded evil. Especially that perverted laugh at the end, hearing it made them feel uncomfortable.
They wondered where Eiji was?
"It's really you. My name is Anastasia-L. Your face is red, do you have a fever?"
Anastasia introduced herself kindly and asked as if she was worried about Arata's condition.
Arata was so happy! He tried to hold back his smile that would become too wide if he didn't.
"I'm fine! May I call you Ana? You can call me Arata. By the way, do you need my help? If you need it, don't hesitate to say so."
{Anastasia-L! Ana, what a beautiful name. I've decided, this girl should join my harem!}
"Yes, my friends often call me Ana. But calling out the first name of a boy I just met is a big challenge for a girl like me. I just want to get acquainted with you."
"About that help you were talking about. Hm... Actually there is one, do you know where-"
Anastasia did not expect Arata to be so excited and enthusiastic about her. She didn't even need to ask the spirits around for help.
This was a good thing for her plan so she tried to keep her smile but...
Before she finished her words.
"Arata, what a coincidence."
The familiar voice made Arata's seemingly excited expression gradually unhappy.
He turned to the handsome boy with black hair and red eyes who approached him and Ana. In his hand, he was holding several takoyaki skewers.
The smell of the takoyaki was immediate and seemed to be very delicious.
Where did Eiji buy it?
{Wait, to hell with takoyaki! Why is Eiji here? Shit, I don't want Ana to meet him! He's too dangerous, I don't want what happened to Lilith and the other girls to happen again.}
{Ana can only be mine!}
