Chapter 175: Isn't he the protagonist?
"Rias, my familiar has detected many wild demons entering Kuoh city."
"Many? How many?"
"I'm not sure... But it must be more than 100 and all of them are coming from many directions towards the school!"
Akeno sounded worried, but the crimson-haired girl sitting in the club president's chair looked calm.
Rias looked at all the members of her peerage, besides Akeno there were also Koneko, Yuuto and Gasper. Sometimes she always felt a little sad to see her peerage incomplete. She certainly had some suitable candidates such as Asia, Xenovia, and Irina to join her peerage. But all three girls declined her invitation which left her helpless.
The number of her peerage members did not matter in this situation. She was also not too worried about the wild demons infiltrating Kuoh city.
Although some wild demons sometimes did like to infiltrate Kuoh, but the number was nothing compared to now.
Even so, Rias still didn't panic, she was calm because with her current power and peerage, she could confidently take out 100 or even more wild demons. There was also Sona and her peerage who were sure to help them, so it didn't matter.
"Akeno calm down. Do you know why many wild demons have suddenly infiltrated Kuoh city and are all targeting our school?"
Koneko, Yuuto, and Gasper didn't know either. They stared at Akeno because she was the first to know that there were many wild demons entering Kuoh city. Precisely the girl's familiar, Tiny Demon who were small as the name suggests but had the ability to clone themselves so that they were useful to be deployed in Kuoh city as eyes and ears. Usually if any wild devils or suspicious supernatural beings entered Kuoh city, those tiny creatures would immediately know and inform Akeno.
"I don't know. I just know they're all moving towards our school." Akeno shook her head.
Rias held her chin, she was trying to remember something that she had actually somewhat forgotten. Luckily Koneko raised her small hand.
"Yes Koneko?"
"Buchou, I remember Eiji Senpai once said something about a wild demon being interested in a girl named Mio Naruse."
"Ah... That's her!
Rias rose from her seat, her large breasts swaying slightly.
Akeno also reacted as if she knew something. She didn't even forget to add "Ara ara."
Only Yuuto and Gasper were looking at the three girls in confusion.
Rias remembered not long ago her fiancé, Eiji had said something related to wild demons in his inner voice.
She also knew this morning he was busy dealing with a certain heroine and protagonist from another class, but put that aside. Rias knew Mio Naruse, the crimson-haired girl was a class 2C student at Kuoh Academy, and from Eiji's inner voice she knew the girl turned out to be the Demon King's daughter. Unlike her who was actually a devil, the girl was a demon.
Not sure which Demon King, but Rias knew it definitely wasn't a Demon King from the underworld. Mio too, before Eiji appeared in her life, she had long investigated Mio's identity because her appearance was almost similar to her. At first she suspected that the girl was her father's illegitimate daughter, but after her father was interrogated by her, she was wrong.
Mio Naruse has no blood relationship with her, she originally wanted to recruit the girl into her peerage, but her father strictly forbade her and said not to bother the girl. The girl was related to the Demon Realm, a place similar to the Underworld but with a different history and government than the Underworld.
There wasn't much information she knew about Demon Realm and Mio Naruse's origins until Eiji rambled in his heart.
Despite not knowing the details, the many wild demons that came to Kuoh city most likely had something to do with something inside Mio Naruse's body. Her fiancé, Eiji definitely knew more about it.
"So should we meet that girl named Mio Naruse after finishing off the wild demons outside, Rias?"
"No, we'll just deal with those wild demons. About Mio Naruse, let's leave her to Eiji. He seems to have an idea about that girl."
"Fufufu I understand."
"Senpai Ecchi." The senpai Koneko was referring to was of course Eiji.
Needless to say, this wasn't the first time Eiji had gotten involved with a new heroine after all. As it happened, Rias was sure that sooner or later Mio would become one of her sisters.
They all teleported to the front yard of the school. Luckily school hours were over and many students had already gone home. There Rias saw Sona and her peerage who also seemed to realize that many guests were coming.
Sona looked at Rias and her group. "Rias, don't kill them all at once. Let some of them infiltrate the school."
Rias tilted her head in confusion. "Why?"
Sona smiled mysteriously. "Just do it, it's to help Eiji."
Helping? Help what? Rias rolled her eyes, she didn't understand what Sona was thinking. But if it was to help Eiji, she agreed to let some wild demons infiltrate the school.
..
Eiji originally wanted to contact Sona and Rias, but looking at the two girls, especially Sona who once again understood what he wanted before he ordered her from the "Heroine Monitor" screen.
Using this ability, Eiji could see Sona, Rias, and their peerage dealing with the wild demons that came to the school.
The two girls deliberately let some wild demons from the other side infiltrate the school, Eiji smiled at the actions of the two.
Especially Sona, he understood what the girl was thinking.
In short she wanted to help her man catch a girl!
As for how? Well now several wild demons were already roaming the school hallways and all of them were rushing towards Mio's location.
Earlier after finishing organizing the classwork with Basara and Yuki, Eiji said goodbye to the two. However, he did not go straight home. Basara already knew Mio was treated at the school health room from his classmates, he naturally rushed to the health room with Yuki.
But wild demons blocked their way. Yuki took out her sword called Sakuya, both her hands were covered in iron gloves and her long slender sword was enveloped in green light. Each slash created a strong and sharp wind. Several wild demons were instantly dismembered to death.
Basara also took out his Brynhildr sword, he was stronger than the original work at this point of the plot and easily killed the feral demons that stood in his way. Even so, the number of wild demons targeting Mio at this time was more than the original work.
So the two were still busy fighting.
Now that Eiji was on the other side of the school, he wanted to rush to Mio's location faster than the protagonist. But he didn't expect that a black-haired girl, an orange-haired girl, and a boy with dead fish eyes hadn't returned home from their club activities.
Several wild demons whose appearances were covered in black robes with dark faces and red eyes rushed at them with scythes.
The three people were terrified.
"Hachiman, Yuigahama-san, let's quickly run here!" Yukino was seeing a wild demon for the first time, she was naturally scared and wanted to run away with Yui and Hachiman.
This afternoon, Yui had just come to the service club to ask for help making delicious cakes. As a member of the service club Yukino agreed to the girl's request, they were late getting home because of cooking some cakes in the cooking class.
When they were about to go home, not knowing what happened, many two-meter tall people with black robes and scary-looking were wandering in the school corridor.
And when they saw them, those people seemed to want to kill them!
"Y-Yes, Yukinon. Hikki! Let's run, why are you staying still?!"
The girl named Yui Yuigahama who agreed to run with Yukino certainly did not forget to attract the protagonist Hachiman who was actually her classmate.
But Hachiman seemed to be frozen in place, even after getting the system and getting some rewards after completing some strange quests. Now he was actually a bit stronger than an ordinary human, but with no combat experience, he was terrified at the sight of a wild demon rushing towards him with a large scythe.
His legs trembled and liquid began to soak the floor beneath his feet.
Yukino and Yui who saw this frowned and looked at Hachiman with disgust. Even those girls did not pee their pants even though they were scared, but Hachiman...
You're a boy peeing your pants in this situation and are more scared than a girl!
Yui was disappointed, is this still the same boy who saved her dog in the past? The cake she made was actually planned to give to Hachiman as a belated thank you in the past.
But now... Even before she gave the cake, the three of them are likely to die here!
Because of Hachiman's slowness, Yukino and Yui were too late to escape. They were surrounded by wild demons.
Seeing the huge scythe being swung at them, Yukino hugged Yui and closed her eyes. At this moment, not knowing why, she suddenly thought of the silver-haired annoying boy who had not attended the service club for one week.
She remembered that boy, Eiji was very strong, right? He's not an ordinary person. So if only he was here...
"All of you, quickly crouch down."
Suddenly Yukino heard a familiar voice, Yui and Hachiman also heard it.
They unconsciously followed what the voice said and crouched down!
Swoosh!
A gust of wind and a golden light that curved like a crescent moon passed over their heads.
A small explosion was heard.
After a while, Yukino was the first to open her eyes and saw that the wild demons that surrounded them earlier had now turned into ashes scattered on the floor.
Hachiman and Yui who saw this were also dumbfounded and at the same time they were also relieved.
The three naturally looked back, to where the familiar voice had come from and sure enough it was Eiji!
With his silver hair and handsome face, he stood there with a beautiful looking silver sword with blue stripes and a golden hilt.
It had been a long time since Eiji had taken out Excalibur from his inventory, now he finally took it out again just to kill some small insects.
Eiji sighed, although he could kill some of those wild demons with a wave of his hand, he ended up using his sword because he wanted to show off a little to the girls in front of him.
As for Hachiman? The boy looked surprised and happy to see him.
"Eiji!"
"Yo Hachiman, don't come near me, you stink."
Hachiman stopped his steps, he just remembered that his pants were wet because of the previous incident, his face was hot, he looked at Yukino and Yui, the two girls also stood so far away from him and looked at him with disgust.
Hachiman's face was a little pale seeing the reaction of the two, he knew his image in the hearts of the two girls must have become so low because of this incident.
Ugh... Even so, to hide his embarrassment, he feigned ignorance and continued talking with Eiji.
"You saved us. Thank you, but what's with that sword? You have superpowers?!"
Eiji just nodded that boy, Hachiman looked at him with envy. Though he had the system, but Eiji, his first friend who he thought was just an ordinary handsome boy, was actually hiding his powers.
He wondered if he was still the chosen one? Did the system deceive him? The attack from the previous people who didn't look like humans also surprised him.
He just found out that in this world there are also creatures like that and people who have superpowers like Eiji!
While the protagonist was surprised and started to doubt himself, Yukino and Yui were also surprised. From Eiji's inner voice all this time, they already knew Eiji had superpowers, but this was the first time they saw him show it and they were surprised of course.
Yukino didn't know what to say, she wanted to thank Eiji, but she was with her personality and the way the boy looked at her with a smile that she found annoying.
She felt embarrassed to say it.
"Eiji, thank you."
"Hm? Yukino? Did you say something?"
"I said thank you...for saving me...no I meant us."
Yukino's voice sounded small, she tried to maintain her cold expression but the blush on her cheeks betrayed her.
[Although Yukino also has a cold tsundere attribute, she can still thank me in this situation.]
[A little surprising.]
What's surprising?
Yukino wondered what kind of girl she was in Eiji's mind? Sometimes she wanted to open the boy's head just to see what was inside.
Eiji's gaze finally turned to the other girl.
Yui Yuigahama was one of the heroine in the Oregairu franchise.
She seemed to have come to the service club and the plot was a little late he realized. As a heroine, Yui was certainly beautiful, she had short orange colored hair tied in a loose bun style. Her eyes matched the color of her hair, she had fair skin with a slender figure and breasts that were at least bigger than Yukino's.
"Yahallo, I'm Yui Yuigahama. You must be Eiji, thank you for saving me." Yui bowed her head slightly as she thanked him, it was actually not the first time she saw Eiji at school. But before she had only ever seen him from a distance, now it was her first time seeing him up close and she had to admit the boy was very handsome.
The key was that she had also just been saved by that boy so for some reason her little heart was beating fast and her face felt hot.
"You're welcome, by the way I still have something to do. You three better hurry home."
Eiji actually wanted to tease Yui a little, for example using his inner voice to tell her that she was one of the heroine and some spoilers about her stealing a guy from Yukino.
But he remembered Mio was also urging to be saved, so after saying that he immediately disappeared in front of the three people.
"Uh... Yukinon, did I say something wrong? Eiji doesn't hate me, right?" Yui was dumbfounded and a little sad, she thought Eiji hurriedly left because he didn't like talking to her.
Don't know why, but Yukino looked her up and down before saying: "Don't worry, that man must be telling the truth, he has other things to do."
"Why are you so sure, Yukinon?"
"Because you're a pretty girl, Yuigahama-san. How could that man hate you? Actually, he must want to eat you." Yukino looked annoyed, especially when her gaze fell on Yui's chest that was bigger than hers. She snorted and turned around.
"Eh! Yukinon? Do you want to go home? Wait for me!" Yui hurriedly followed Yukino, actually she was still a little scared after what happened earlier. She hugged one of Yukino's hands, Yukino wanted to push her away, but in the end she sighed and let her do what she wanted.
Yukinon was cold outside but very kind inside!
By the way Yui forgot about the cake she was going to give Hachiman.
"...."
Seeing the two girls going home hand in hand, Hachiman who was left alone seemed to have been forgotten.
Didn't the system say he was the protagonist?
Why didn't this situation feel like he was the protagonist? Moreover, looking at Yukino and Yui who were blushing while looking at Eiji earlier, he felt jealous and his chest hurt a little.
