Chapter 43: Can those protagonists do something? Take the initiative to cut plot!
Turn around to see the beauty in back him.
He saw a brown-haired girl tied in a ponytail. Her face was expressionless and rather heroic for a girl; especially when she carried a wooden sword in one of her hands.
The scene looked a bit unusual, but the girl still looked beautiful. Judging from her school uniform, she seemed to be a third year student which means...
{Beautiful senior}
"...."
"...So Eiji Seiya. Do you really want to refuse Saki-sama's invitation?"
Although the girl saw his handsome face. She just stared at him in a bit of a daze before returning to her expressionless face.
The girl even pointed her wooden sword at him as if trying to scare him.
{Attractive. Have a heart strong enough like a sword not to be mesmerized by my good looks. Rin Kujo. If I'm not mistaken she's also one of the heroines in the To Love Ru franchise who will also be charmed by Rito}.
"...." Rin's face was still expressionless, but she frowned slightly.
{She often had perverted accidents with Rito. The Saki-sama she mentioned had also actually experienced abuse where she would be stripped naked in public for challenging Lala in a beauty contest and losing. But the important point was that she underestimated Rito's clumsiness in the original work which caused her clothes to be torn and many people saw her naked body.}
"...." This time Rin raised her eyebrows and the grip on her wooden sword also grew stronger!
{However, it's a pity that even though Rin hated Rito at first. She eventually fell in love with Rito}.
{As expected from a brainless harem franchise. Even heroines like Rin Kujo can fall for the boy who abuses her and the young lady she serves as a bodyguard}.
"!!!"
Rin's previously expressionless face changed, now her expression looked ugly.
Seeing this, Eiji smiled and said: "Sorry, I don't know who the "Saki-sama" you mentioned is. Also, you seem to be a third year student that I don't even know the name of."
"Why should I accept lunch invitations from people I don't know?"
Don't know? You obviously know me and even Saki-sama!
Rin Kujo who could hear the inner voice of the boy in front of her wanted to say that out loud. But, somehow she couldn't say it as if something was preventing her!
She was originally a skeptic about the supernatural, but what happened this time slapped her - even though hearing the inner voices of people like Eiji Seiya and the protagonists was also considered supernatural.
She only believed in it this time! And the boy in front of her was really the person whose inner voice she had been hearing so often since a few weeks ago.
Regarding the plot that mentioned things about him and Saki. She didn't believe it, but so far what Eiji Seiya's inner voice said did have some evidence. The evidence was the protagonists he often mentioned. One of them was Yuuki Rito, she had watched him several times from a distance and even heard his inner voice.
And it is true that the Yuuki Rito in question is indeed a pervert like that and seems to deliberately often pretend to fall just to bump into a girl and stick his face into the girl's underwear.
Because of several incidents broadcast through the inner voice. Rin even knew Yuuki Rito was a regressor and Eiji Seiya was a time traveler and the two with other protagonists were often at odds.
It was just that she believed all those things only now. And about the plot related to her and Saki? She still had doubts, but would she really fall in love with Rito who had abused her and Saki so much?
Imagining what he did in the plot of the original work. Rin shuddered and she barely reacted to Eiji's rejection of her young lady's lunch invitation.
"Then I'll go first, Senpai."
She did not even know when Eiji Seiya left the cafeteria with Yakisoba in his hand. And only realized it after a few seconds after the boy actually left the cafeteria!
"Eiji?"
Rin was originally about to shout angrily while calling out the name of the boy who left first and dared to refuse Saki's invitation. But realized she was in the school cafeteria and many students also seemed to be staring at her.
Her expressionless face blushed slightly and she hurriedly left the cafeteria with the wooden sword in her hand.
But Rin didn't know, many of the students watching the whole thing from earlier thought she was the girl from the kendo club who had just been dumped by her crush/boyfriend.
The former was true that she was a girl from the kendo club, but the latter?
If Rin knew the rumors about her having just been dumped were spreading.
She would probably....
"Rin, how did it go? Where is Eiji Seiya? Why didn't you bring him with you? There's no way he'd turn down a lunch invitation from me, right?"
A beautiful blonde curly-haired girl with golden eyes sat on the school's park bench with her legs crossed - showing off her milky-white thighs and with her folded hands pressed against her breasts.
With a small fan slightly covering her face. The blonde girl was the young lady Rin served as a bodyguard.
She was Saki Tenjoin, the one who had recently told her to send Eiji a lunch invitation.
Rin who saw Saki; got a little nervous and said, "Sorry Saki-sama. Eiji Seiya rejected your lunch invitation and he even managed to escape from me."
"What!? Rin, you failed? Even if that handsome boy from second year refused. With your power, he can still escape?"
The first to respond to Rin was not Saki, but a bespectacled girl with long black hair who looked like a nerd named Aya Fujisaki. She was the last girl in Saki Tenjoin's three-person group.
Although Saki is a popular girl and has a good status because she is the young lady of the Tenjoin Family - one of the richest families in Japan. She limits the people she can be friends with and so far she only has two best friends who have been with her for a long time. They are Rin and Aya.
But put that aside. "Aya, let me talk to Rin first. You shut up first."
Saki closed her small fan and signaled the girl with glasses to be quiet.
"Sorry Saki-sama! Now I'll just shut up and watch!"
Aya hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. Her gaze looked at Saki like one who saw an idol and was not angry, even if the other party was a bit rude to her.
"...." Saki and even Rin were used to Aya's behavior. So the two ignored her and looked at each other.
"So Eiji Seiya really rejected my invitation?"
"Yes, Saki-sama."
"So that's it..."
Saki nodded with a slightly surprised expression, but there was a faint smile on her face before she let out her typical young lady laugh that sounded like "Ha! Ha! Ha!..."
Surprisingly she did not look angry which made Rin a little surprised.
With her young lady personality, she would usually get angry if something she wanted she could not get.
However, what happened now? No, exactly what happened to Saki today? Not only Rin, even Aya felt that Saki was a bit different from usual today.
"Since it failed, then forget it." Saki said lightly.
""Eh??""
"S-Saki-sama! Are you sure? Weren't you furious yesterday when you found out that a second year girl named Lala whose popularity as the prettiest girl rivaled yours?"
Aya who promised to keep her mouth shut could not help but open her mouth now.
"That's right. You even sent a lunch invitation to Eiji Seiya just to try to seduce him because the other party is the fiance of the girl named Lala. You're trying to teach that girl a lesson by stealing her fiancé."
Although Saki never said the details, Rin had already analyzed and knew the reason why Saki wanted to invite Eiji Seiya to lunch with her.
Speaking of which she wondered should she tell Saki the information she heard from Eiji Seiya's inner voice?
Saki's lips twitched, she supported her chin with one hand and looked at the two girls amusedly.
"I said forget it, but that doesn't mean I won't try other ways."
"After all, there's no way I'm letting a junior like Lala beat me in beauty!"
""....."" Aya and Rin.
They breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Saki was still the same as always.
The blonde girl was not sick or anything like that, although she was not angry that someone dared to reject her
However, what they didn't know. Saki was indeed different from usual. Or rather if she didn't hear what Eiji said about her in his inner voice.
Originally if she failed to invite Eiji to have lunch with her. She would use another method where she would challenge Lala in a beauty contest!
What she wanted to do was familiar to what Eiji had mentioned in his inner voice. As a person who could also hear inner voices. She would have heard about plots, protagonists, heroines etc.
She even recently found out that one of her best friends, Rin seemed to be one of the heroine in the To Love Ru franchise where the protagonist was Yuuki Rito!
And apparently, she is also related so Rito is said to be causing her naked body to be seen by many people because of the perverted accident that the boy caused to her!
Damn, wouldn't it be dangerous if she did the same thing as in the original work where she challenged Lala in a beauty pageant and somehow - because of Rito - she showed off her naked body to many people? That's a plot no less horrifying than losing her own chastity in public!
Saki certainly did not have such a hobby, even if she was a young lady from a wealthy family. No, precisely because she was a young lady from a wealthy family like the Tenjoin Family; she would definitely not commit such exhibitionist acts!
Knowing in the original work she was harassed like that by Yuuki Rito. She should probably be more wary of that boy and always keep a considerable distance from him.
...
?Host, you're sneaky.}
"You know, Miss System. It's not the first time you've said that."
"Yeah, but is it just me or are you more aggressive now?
"Aggressive? Aggressive how?"
Eiji ate a kind of bread with noodles and sausage in it called Yakisoba Bread leisurely on a long bench on the roof area of the school.
Most school rooftops in Japan are very spacious and are often used as hangout spots for students. The rooftop of his school is also one of them. Here, he could see the view of the school from high up and he could also often feel the wind blowing through his hair, making him feel the natural coolness.
There were quite a number of students who were also hanging out, eating lunch, and part of it on the school roof. But each group was far enough apart and did not disturb each other unless necessary.
?{Yes... You slightly modified the plot about heroine Rin Kujo and Saki Tenjoin. And emphasized that it was all protagonist Rito's fault. Although he was also guilty in the original work, but he was also a victim.}
"Hehe and?"
?{And... You are now taking the initiative to eat on the school roof. If I'm not mistaken, some heroine often eat on the school roof and one of them...}
"Bravo!"
If one of his hands was not holding yakisoba bread. Eiji wanted to clap his system analysis as a compliment for guessing correctly.
?{.... So why do you seem to be taking the initiative now? Is it because of the nightmare you had last night, which made you rush?}
Miss System hummed and she analyzed more!
Eiji's lips twitched. "Alright stop with your analysis. I was just thinking of getting more and faster rewards by taking the initiative to cut the plot without waiting for protagonist."
Protagonist Issei was still sound asleep under his [Nedneliaz] spell, and the DxD plot was indeed still running; but it was slower when the protagonist did not take the initiative to post the plot as usual.
He realized this.
There is also the protagonist Rito who is now busy trying to make up with Haruna and even though the plot of the original work is still running; for example, like the heroine Saki who wants to compete with Lala. If Rito continued to be busy with Haruna. Eiji doubted if that boy would even do something with his perverted accident trick? As a regressor protagonist. Can you do something?
Those protagonists were rather unreliable. He felt it would be better if he took the initiative to catch the heroes and cut off every plot as soon as possible.
For example, the heroines like Rin and Saki. The two girls might now become more wary of Rito, and the latter might take different decisions from the original work because she was afraid of being stripped in public.
One plot of To Love Ru was successfully cut today and next he can still cut the plot of DxD with....
"Senpai."
A cute, yet flat voice was heard greeting him.
Eiji turned his head to the side, precisely at a petite white-haired girl who had just arrived on the school roof.
"Koneko? What a coincidence. Do you often eat on the school roof?"
?{Wow... So this is why you... Host, you're very good at pretending.}
Ignoring Miss System who sounded amazed by his pretending skills. The girl who greeted her was Koneko. Koneko Toujou who is one of the heroine in this harem franchise!
Koneko nodded, she looked at Eiji who was eating yakisoba bread strangely and wondered if it was a coincidence that this time traveler was having lunch on the rooftop?
However, she nodded and said: "Un, I often eat here."
"Oh... It just so happens that the seat next to me is also empty. Would you like to sit there and eat with me?" Asked Eiji with a good 'senior' smile inviting his junior to eat together.
"Uh, that..."
Koneko saw that the long chair Eiji was sitting on did have a lot of room. But her sixth sense as a Nekoshou was very sensitive and she felt something was wrong. Although Eiji didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her, she felt that this man had other intentions.
"If you don't want to that's fine..." Eiji was still smiling, but his smile looked rather sad which made Koneko feel guilty.
Aside from the fact that she was a girl who liked to be alone, but still a good girl. The white-haired boy in front of her also had a good relationship with her King, Rias. He even recently saved Rias who was almost killed by Raynare's spear.
So if she refused his invitation to dine with him, she would feel guilty and disrespectful.
"Okay."
In the end he accepted to sit and eat with her.
Eiji was of course happy to see Koneko accept his invitation. He looked at the girl sitting not far beside him and saw her reaching for a sweet-scented chocolate-colored package.
When the girl took out the food from inside the package. It turned out to be fish-shaped biscuits.
[Hahahahaha!]
"....." Koneko.
?{Er... Host}
[Hahahaha!]
"...."
The small hand holding the fish biscuit froze and the white-haired girl looked flatly at the boy sitting beside her.
Is he laughing at me in his heart?
Koneko was annoyed, she snorted and ate her fish biscuits in silence. Originally she had planned to offer Eiji her fish biscuits, but the boy had inexplicably laughed at her which made her cancel her good intentions.
Her good impression on Eiji also began to diminish because of this.
?{Host, are you crazy? Koneko, probably hates you now!}
Miss System panicked, she had no idea what her host was trying to do.
Suddenly laughing at a cute girl who was eating with you. If that's not crazy and wanting to be hated by that girl, I don't know what is.
"Well Miss System calm down. You don't know what routine I'm trying to do." Eiji mentally reprimanded his system.
?{Hm? Routine}
"Right, a routine to lower a girl's guard and make her a little emotional for you before you make her even more emotional with something else."
Miss System still did not understand what her host was trying to do. But she started to understand when she saw what her host did next.
[Luckily I laughed in my heart. If I had laughed in person. I'm afraid Koneko would have a bad impression of me.]
"...." Koneko rolled her eyes and said silently.
Unfortunately you've already made me have a bad impression of you, Senpai.
You're laughing at me pretty hard in your heart.
And I happen to be able to hear your inner voice.
Now, Koneko was beginning to regret accepting the invitation to dine with Eiji. She even wanted to change places and have lunch somewhere else now.
However, before she got up from her seat.
[Actually what made me laugh earlier was because I remembered the fact that Koneko is a Nekoshou or rather a variant of that race called Nekomata. Besides being a reincarnated demon, she is also a Nekomata. A supernatural cat race that is very rare in the underworld and now they are almost extinct."]
"Um?"
Hearing this, Koneko suddenly gave up moving and sat down while secretly eavesdropping on the inner voice of the person sitting next to her.
She was curious and curiosity sometimes kills cats.
Wait, who is that cat?
[Seeing the girl eating fish cakes. She really looks like a cat. As expected of Nekomata. She's very cute and I remember her older sister is also very pretty.]
"Cough, cough!"
Koneko almost choked on the fish cake she was eating. Eiji hurriedly gave the girl a bottle of water.
"Hurry up and drink this, Koneko."
The girl accepted the bottle and drank the water inside. After that her expressionless face blushed and looked at him awkwardly before saying.
"Thank you, Senpai."
"Hehe that's fine. Next time, don't eat too fast so you don't choke, okay?"
"Un."
Koneko just said yes to Eiji, but she was actually a little upset because of the other party's inner voice that she almost choked before!
Even so, she was indeed happy to hear the party praising her as very cute in her heart. Making her impression of Eiji increase a few points more after dropping a little earlier.
?{Ding! Koneko Toujou's favorability level on the host increased by 20 points!}
"Miss System, what are you doing? I just found out you have that kind of feature."
?{Well not really. I'm saying this only based on my independent analysis.}
"So you're basically making it up?"
?{....No, if you're smart enough. You know Koneko's favorable impression of you is increasing now.}
"Of course. This is the effect of my routine after all."
?{.....}
However, not knowing the dialog between the two. Koneko was also surprised and wondered if Eiji knew her older sister? Besides praising himself as cute, the boy also praised his sister's beauty!
Wait. Because Eiji is a time traveler who knows many plots of this world and the heroes and protagonists in it.
He must know many things about her, including her past. And he probably knows a lot about his older sister too!
So could it be that Eiji also knows...
[Remembering Koneko's older sister. Too bad that woman was labeled as an SS Class Stray Devil who was basically a fugitive and until now she was still being chased by many people.]
[In the original work, I remember Koneko hated her older sister because she killed the King/Master in their previous Peerage.]
[To be honest, this plot is also brain-dead like other DxD plots. In fact the reason Koneko's older sister killed her King was because her King was evil and he was trying to use her younger sister - Koneko as an experimental subject.]
[Koneko didn't know this fact, or rather she didn't want to try to find out. She didn't even know her older sister was willing to become an experimental subject first just so that her King would exclude Koneko.]
[However, in the end her King did not keep his promise to exclude Koneko which made Koneko's older sister impulsive and killed her King on the grounds of losing control of her Nekomata power.]
[Obviously it was actually just nonsense made by high-status people in the underworld such as Srizcehs Lucifer one of them to cover up the true facts in order to make Koneko give up looking for her elder sister and join the peerage of his younger sister, Rias.]
[Koneko's older sister is very talented. In the experiment that the King conducted on her to awaken her Senjutsu. She managed to awaken Senjutsu in her body after a painful experimental process and even managed to control her Senjutsu perfectly.]
[But still, even after Koneko's older sister sacrificed to that extent. The truth of the incident several years ago where people from the Neberius Devil branch family conducted illegal experiments on devils and other supernatural beings].
[Although Koneko's older sister was also a victim. She was labeled as an SS Class Stray Devil and even younger sister misunderstood her and hates her to this day.]
[It's sad... In addition to the brainless plot. The two Nekomata girl sisters also actually lack brain cells.]
[Koneko's older sister didn't even try to explain what exactly happened after killing her King and instead ran away without explaining anything to Koneko.]
[And Koneko, this girl immediately believed what others said, especially Srizcehs Lucifer who said what crimes her older sister committed.]
[Although I know that Koneko was still a child back then and it makes sense that she was naive and easily believed what people other than her family said. But until this point, where she is already a high school student. She still seems to be blinded by the unreasonable hatred for her older sister and never doubts the reason why her older sister did all that.]
"!!!" The heroines were shocked, but the most shocked was of course Koneko.
At this time the girl dropped the package containing fish cakes in her hand and looked at Eiji who was eating yakisoba bread with a blank stare.
