Chapter 148 ~ Uninvolved

Chapter 148 ~ Uninvolved

“Hey Aika, let’s go to the cafeteria.”

“Mm. We should go quickly before it gets crowded.”

Right as the bell rang for lunch time and the teacher left their class, Murayama and Katase approached Aika’s table in a hurry.

The trio pervert and some of their classmates have already left the class, hurriedly making their way to the cafeteria before it gets crowded. The more they dally, the more people would’ve arrived in the cafeteria and the longer they’d have to wait in line.

“Ah, sure! But, I’ll just be going to buy some bread and milk, and leave.”

“Eh? Why?”

“I was called to the student council room. Not sure what they wanted, but I’ll have to go there.”

“Oh... Alright. Then, let’s go!”

The three then quickly make their way to the cafeteria.

And although they left only a few minutes after the bell rang, a long line had already been established in front of the store.

“Damn... They got here so fast...!”

“Hah... Well, it can’t be helped. Let’s just line up. Is it okay for you to be a bit late to the student council, Aika?”

“Yes, don’t worry about it.”

Having made their decision, the three went to the end of the line and began lining up.

But as soon as they arrived, people, specifically boys, in front of them began... giving up their spots.

“A-Ah, K-Kiryuu-san! Please go ahead!”

“Y-Yes! Please take our spot! It’s a long line, and you must be feeling hungry already! Don’t mind us!!!”

Aika smiled inwardly as she looked at these little boys trying to curry favor with her.

They must think their kindness would make her indebted to them and perhaps begin some sort of friendship. Then, they would get closer and closer... And then, once they’ve become close enough, they could have the chance to confess to her and become her boyfriend!

To become her boyfriend and have that super sexy body all to themselves was the wet dream of every single teenage boy in this academy.

Moreover, she was once a pervert too, right? Then perhaps, once they become her boyfriend, she would do stuff that they could only imagine and bring them to the heights of pleasure!!!

Aika could clearly see it on their faces and perverted gazes that had been eyeing her watermelons which exclusively belonged to Yuuji.

They must be thinking something that would only happen in their fantasy and wet dreams.

Well, she was generous enough to let them think all they wanted. After all, none of them would be able to actually make their dreams a reality since this sexy body, heart, and soul already belonged to Yuuji~

And she wouldn’t pass up on their offers to make her life easier for her.

“Really~? Thank you very much~ You guys are sooo kind~!”

““Y-Yes!!!””

Aika giggled inwardly, seeing how much these boys blush from her cutesy act, and walked forward, taking their spot in the line as they moved back behind her.

And seeing what those two boys had done and what they could get in return, many others in front of her began doing the same thing.

Soon enough, she was at the front of the line, and the three quickly brought their lunch and left.

“Hah... I can’t believe they're openly ogling at your chest during all that... Don’t they know Aika already has a wonderful boyfriend?”

“Yeah, I can’t believe it. Especially those trio perverts. I would’ve taught them a lesson if I brought my shinai.”

Murayama and Katase still looked very upset. How dare those perverted idiots openly ogle at their friend, who they knew already has an extremely wonderful boyfriend?! Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

Especially those perverted trio. They were all drooling and didn’t even try to hide the fact that they’re staring at Aika’s breasts.

They should’ve pummeled them to the ground!

“Well well, thanks to their perversion, we got our food a lot faster, didn’t we~? So it’s fine~”

Aika waved her hand and simply brushed over the matter. After all, this was all they could do. Simply ogle and fantasize.

And, it made her life easier. So it was a win win. They could have their fantasy, and she could have an easy life thanks to those simps.

A tense silence fell as soon as Sona asked her questions.

Aika stopped eating her curry bread, which was now already half-eaten, and began staring at Sona.

Tsubaki and the rest of Sona’s peerage members kept absolutely silent as they waited for Aika’s answer in bated anticipation, as if fearing of breaking the silence for some unfathomable reason.

Then... Aika gave her answer.

“I’m Kiryuu Aika. And I just want to have a lovey-dovey time with my hubby here~!!!”

Another silence fell upon the room. But this time... it was an awkward silence filled with disbelief.

“....What?”

A voice of disbelief escaped the lips of, not Sona, but Tsubaki, who failed to hold back her shock.

Similarly in disbelief, Sona and the rest of her peerage members also froze in shock at Aika’s words.

“Fufufu~ Is that so shocking~? Why do you think we’ve been living quietly like this~? It’s clear that we only wanted to live a normal life. I revealed my true appearance because I wanted to please my boyfriend, and that would’ve been it! If it wasn’t for that black chicken, I would’ve stayed as Aika, the “female pervert” and just be a beautiful, yet normal, girl.”

“That’s...”

Sona could see the truth in Aika’s words.

If she wasn’t attacked by the rogue fallen, she’d have no reason to reveal her power.

And although she changed her appearance drastically, it didn’t mean she’d cause harm to anyone. Even after changing her appearance, she had done nothing that would harm her, Rias, and their peerage.

There was no need for her to deliberately display her power and bring attention to her if they intend on living quietly.

“...I see. Then, is that all you plan on doing? Just... living quietly... Uninvolved...?”

Aika nodded.

“Of course~ I only plan to live normally with my boyfriend, enjoy his delicious home cooking, and have fun with my friends~ We don’t actually want to get too involved with the supernatural world if we could help it.”

She shrugged her shoulders and let out a “disappointed” sigh. But inwardly, she was quite satisfied with the explanation she was giving them.

This way, when Yuuji and the rest of the multiverse chat group members come, they’d be considered a neutral group that didn’t want to get involved in others’ business.

And when they want to complete missions, they could frame it as the situation being forced upon them.

Sona fell into a deep thought in silence. And although Aika couldn’t hear her thoughts, she could easily guess what this logic-oriented girl was thinking.

After hearing her words, Sona must be weighing out what would be better for her; to take a step back and keep a friendly relationship, or to continue investigating and poking at them to find out more about this secret group.

And knowing Sona, as the smart girl she is, Aika knew she would make the right decision.

“Then... One more question. And I hope this won’t offend you.”

“Sure.”

Aika nodded with a smile.

“How... powerful are you compared to the rest of your group...?”

Knowing how intrusive or possibly offensive this question might sound, Sona needed to ask just as an assurance.

She had decided not to continue investigating and risk damaging her relationship with this possibly powerful group. After all, given the amount of magic power Aika was emanating even if she was holding it back, Sona could roughly guess how powerful this unknown group was.

But in order to not be completely blind to the situation, she needed to be able to at least have a clearer estimation of this unknown group’s strength and consider what kind of stance she’d take.

Aika, who heard her question, began thinking about it...

Yuuji was undoubtedly one of, if not, the strongest. Tatsuya, Erika, and Suzaku-san would follow closely after, given their innate capabilities and SSR.

Cecilia was an immortal prior to gaining her SSR. And now, she was undoubtedly the best healer and support in the group. An immortal Goddess of Life.

In a fight, she might only be able to take on Lelouch with her magic. And that’s because his SSR was specialized in information gathering and foresight. Even with his geass, she could prevent him from using it with her necklace of anti magic.

So perhaps...

“In terms of raw power... Then I’m probably one of the weakest of them all for now.”

The room fell silent once more, as all members of the student council froze in shock and disbelief.
