What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?

Chapter 480 She Did Emojis Before It Was Cool

?

Judging by the confused look on Delmare's face, it doesn't seem like she realises these guys have a crush on her.

I raised my hand in greeting, "Umm… Hello. Max and Samuel, was it? Nice to meet you. And yes, I'm dating Delmare."

The two boys blinked at me, then the one on the left raised his hand to point a finger at me slowly.

"Wait… No… Are you… The Special Class Student? That crazy girl who can use like a hundred different types of magic?!"

I scratched my cheek, "Err… I am Aster, the one who has the challenge of requiring my challengers to use eight different types of magic to defeat me in order to take my spot, yes."

What's with that hundred magic? I never claimed that I'm able to do that… Is that what people are saying about me?

"Kuhh… Why did it have to be you?!"

Delmare was looking at them with a stern gaze, obviously not happy with how they were speaking to me but she opted to not say anything for now.

I also decided to just act like I don't know what's going on, "I'm sorry but umm… Can I help you?"

The boy on the left ignored my question and turned to Delmare instead, "Delmare! What kind of weapon are you looking for? I can help you pick one!"

The Siren looked at me and I shrugged, showing that I don't really care how she wants to handle this.

She scribbled into her notebook again before turning it around to show him what she wrote.

'I'm sorry Max, but I have already picked what I wanted here. Thank you for offering, nevertheless.'

She even drew a cute smiley face at the end.

The other boy, who I presume must be Samuel by process of elimination, let out a gasp, "No way… You got the smiley face… I can't believe it…"

Eh?

I turned to Delmare and she lifted up her notebook again.

'I dunno but my classmates really like my drawings.'

Ah, I guess in this World where there isn't such a thing as messaging apps, her way of communicating is rarely seen and she made it unique by adding in her version of emotes in her messages. The plus point was that her drawings are really cute too.

Her classmates must have been taken in by this 'quirk' of hers and maybe even tried to make it a competition to see what kind of emotes they could get her to draw in her notes to them.

Max mistook her note as a possible invitation and took a step towards her, "But you need someone to help you get used to the weapon, right? How about I help you out? I'm in the basic close combat class! I can train with you!"

'There's no need to trouble yourself. Thank you.'

"No, no! It really is not a problem at all! We can go and do some practice swings in the park nearby right after this!"

At this point, Delmare was using her notebook to hide the bottom half of her face from view. Her lips had curled into a frown while her eyes were looking at me with her brows scrunched up slightly too.

From where I stood, I could tell that Delmare felt quite troubled at his invitation since she did not want to just outright reject him.

But because the boys could only see her eyes, they seemed to have misinterpreted her feelings and scowled at me.

"I knew it! You're using your position to get her to do what you want, aren't you, Aster?!" Max cried, pointing an accusatory finger at me.

Waddafak.

How the heck did you even come to a conclusion like that?

Ok, fine, I can see how you would think like that. You thought that I was forcing her to go out with me by using my position as a Special Class student or something.

We did not exactly make our relationship public after all…

So… What should I say to these two boys who think I'm some evil futa who is forcing their crush to go out with her?

Heh.

I reached my arm over and pulled Delmare close to me until her face was pressed up against the side of my boob.

The Siren was obviously surprised but she did not complain about my actions. In fact, she even cuddled me back by sliding an arm behind my back to rest on my waist.

I smirked at the two boys, "That's right. I'm a Special Class student after all! Isn't it obvious that I should have the prettiest girl in school as my partner? If she follows me, she would have more chances of continuing her studies in the main Aerialla Academy instead of being stuck here! Is there any reason why she should not be with me?"

Wahahaha! How was my villain act?

Ok, it was pretty bad but come on, it's funny~

Samuel growled at me, "How can you do this?! This is not fair!"

I pulled Delmare even closer to me, "And what are you going to do about it?"

Max pointed his finger at me, "I… I challenge you for your position as a Special Class student!"

I blinked at him, "Umm… Did you forget that one of the prerequisites to challenge me is to use eight different types of magic to fight me? Are you even capable of doing that?"

It seems like he had indeed forgotten since his mouth snapped shut when I mentioned it.

Come on… I know you might have a massive crush on Delmare but I just mentioned all of that moments ago and you forgot?

He tried to recover, "I… I challenge you to a duel then!! Just a normal duel! With swords!"

"No thanks."

"Wha… What?"

I raised an eyebrow at him, "Why are you surprised? Why should I even duel you for this? Do I even stand to gain anything by beating you? I don't. And you're also treating Delmare like some object to be won over. Did you even ask if she wanted you to help her? In fact, she already rejected you. So why are you even trying?"

The boy sputtered and took a step back from me.

Samuel took his place and even crossed his arms with his chin tilted up at me, "Ha! Are you not afraid that your name will get dragged through the mud for this? We'll tell everyone in school that you're coercing her to go out with you! Do you know how many people would come and find you if they knew that?!"

I was about to point out that even if they were to gang up on me, they would not be able to do anything to me but Delmare pulled away from me to walk up to them.

The two boys brightened up, probably thinking that Delmare was coming over to their side and abandoning me. But all thoughts of that disappeared when she slapped Samuel across the face.

The poor boy was looking at her all confused while she scribbled another note to show him.

'I love Aster. Do not ever dare to separate us.'

Oh wow, I… Didn't think that Delmare would be that sensitive about it…

I mean… I was just playing around since these two were clearly clueless young boys that were mistaking their infatuation as love. I doubt that they would even be able to do much by going around telling people that since everything could just be explained away if Delmare were to tell them the truth.

Besides, it's not like I care that much about what my peers in school think anyway.

On the other hand… I'm half sure that Odeta would beat them up if she knew they were trying to do something like that so it's in their best interest not to do it.

Delmare then came back to my side and hugged my arm, hiding herself behind me.

Damn, now I'm feeling a little bit of second hand embarrassment for the boy… I hope for his sake that he does not share a lot of classes with Delmare.

As though on cue, Elrik returned from the back of the store holding the rapier and a sheath that seemed to be specially designed for the rapier.

My first thoughts when seeing that was realising I got tricked into thinking he would be fashioning a sheath for the rapier from scratch when he already had one prepared from the start.

Ugh… I should have knocked another fifty Creas off the price.

Elrik must have realised that something happened between his newcomers and us so he tactfully kept his mouth shut while presenting the blade to me.

I received it and made a show of drawing the blade and showing it off to the two boys before passing it to Delmare.

The rapier was beautiful, and the two boys at least could tell that fact as well with how their eyes widened.

The Siren took it with both hands before hugging me as thanks.

She then pulled away to flip through her notebook to show the words 'Thank you' with a cute drawing of a chibi version of herself that had heart symbols floating around the picture.

"No… No way… The legendary heart picture… So it does exist…" Max gasped.

…

I'm not even going to comment on that…

But yeah… Let's just get out of here before things get any weirder.

While we were leaving though, I was wondering if Delmare had a fanclub of her in the school and if it's possible for me to join it?
