Chapter 569: Green cafeteria
Chapter 569: Green cafeteria
After Eiji's fight with Basara was over... No, it can't even be called a fight on the first side.
From the beginning Eiji only told his shadow army to fight with the protagonist and be spectators.
He only summoned five armies.
The result? His army won by a landslide!
This made Eiji think...
Isn't the protagonist too vulnerable?
And not at all thinking of himself as too strong. Or rather the ability of the shadow army to never die as long as he has magic or other energy in his body.
That ability makes the durability of his army as strong as a cockroach!
However, since the protagonist in the original work could also do something similar with his army.
How could Eiji not be able to do it?
'Miss System, you're so good!'
[...What do you want?]
Her host suddenly praising her, Miss System couldn't help but be suspicious even though it wasn't the first time.
That woman is rude.
'I just wanted to praise my wife for rewarding me. I'm not praising you because I want something, okay?'
[Put aside about who you shamelessly call wife. I don't recognize that title but is it true?]
'Yes, that's right. But if possible, I'd like to kiss you a little.'
[So this is your intention, host! As expected, there's no way you can praise people for no reason and my answer is no!]
[I'm just the system! Please don't be a perverted host who wants to do something to the system!]
Miss System said that and she didn't forget to snort.
The woman who was dishonest and liked to pretend to be the system.
'Tsk! Too bad.'
Eiji who already had an understanding of Miss System after knowing her all this time did not take her words seriously.
At least in this case.
He was a little disappointed and could only be patient until he had enough power to do whatever he wanted to that woman.
By the time that happened... Hehe.
Miss System: "....."
Did this guy forget that I can read his mind?
His memory is really bad.
"I didn't want to say this but... thank you, Eiji."
With a complicated and reluctant feeling in his heart, Basara thanked the person who had ordered his subordinates to beat him up.
After all, Eiji had healed his wounds with his magic.
At this moment, the two of them were no longer inside the barrier and were near one of the vending machines outside the school building.
The scene looked like two boys skipping class and drinking in such a place.
The heroines who knew they had fought not long ago would be speechless if they saw it.
Those women would wonder if this was still the villain and protagonist?
Eiji would refute what they said if he knew he was called a villain again. He wasn't a villain, he was the protagonist's stepfather! So, of course...
He drank his canned drink to the end and threw it into a trash can in the distance before saying, "This is what I have to do, Basara. I don't want Sapphire to be sad when she sees her son coming home from school battered."
"....."
Basara's lips twitched.
So you did it because of my mom?!
Even so, this proved that Eiji cared about his mother's feelings which was a good thing. At least the boy wasn't just greedy for the woman's body or he did it just to spite him.
Still, Basara would never want to call him father!
However, he also wasn't sure if he should oppose their relationship because if his mother including Raphaeline loved Eiji, what could he do?
Basara felt his head hurt when he thought of this.
That's right. It was better to leave the rest to his biological father.
"By the way Eiji, when can I meet my other mother?"
"I will arrange your meeting with Raphaeline later and contact you afterwards. However, it also depends on whether she wants to meet you or not."
"Can you make it happen? After all, I am her son!"
"I don't like to force my women. And Basara, did you forget what I said earlier? Raphaeline has problems with her memory after being sealed away for so many years."
"I..." Basara forgot and he thought that just like him, Raphaeline would also miss him because he was her son. However, she didn't seem to remember him? This was quite troublesome...
Even so, he still wanted to meet her to see what his second mother looked like.
"Alright, I'll wait."
Eiji himself was not sure if Raphaeline had recovered her memories of the child she had given birth to.
Apparently not.
And don't misunderstand, it wasn't his doing at all.
The reason why Raphaeline lost some of her memories was because she was sealed inside Spacetime Amber for many years and received memory erasing magic from the first Togami.
If it wasn't for the magic resistance the woman possessed, she probably would have lost all her memories.
Eiji himself did not know the details because those things were not in the original work. However, it was not impossible for him to recover all of Raphaeline's memories with Anos' magic.
He remembered Anos had magic that allowed his targets to explore their own memories as if going back in time.
But, should he say that to Basara?
"I'm going back to class now. Bye, Basara."
"I also have to go back to my class."
Basara didn't suspect Eiji was hiding something, he never knew what the boy was thinking.
[Sorry, but this is for the best! I'm not the protagonist yasashi who is unselfish and kind to all living things.]
[Not killing protagonist Basara and healing him after my army beat him up is my limit.]
[I also allowed him to meet Raphaeline just because she was one of his mothers later.]
However, the heroines who heard his inner voice knew and were confused by him.
Many of them, especially Sapphire and Raphaeline misunderstood and thought Eiji was a tsundere!
He was being nice to Basara even though the boy had challenged him to a fight with him.
Isn't he rather cute and gentle?
Megumi changed the way she called Eiji. Now she called him by his first name which meant their relationship had leveled up, right?
Eiji was happy but was it just him or was Megumi more aggressive than usual?
She used to be a quiet girl but now...
Could it be because Tomoya was watching them? Of course, how could Eiji not notice the piercing gaze staring at him when he was talking to Megumi.
That boy had just been to the cafeteria and was actually standing not far from them so he could eavesdrop.
That could be proven by his inner voice that was currently heard.
{Megumi... You refused my invitation to go to the cafeteria together earlier and said you were going to the restroom so I gave up because I didn't want to be reported.}
{But you're here! And you're with Eiji?!}
{Bitch! Megumi, you bitch! What good is Eiji? You said that boy is very kind? You're blind! He's a bastard who has a harem and before this... He even seduced Utaha and Eriri!}
The protagonist Tomoya who was still alive and well had an ugly expression.
He felt green when he saw Megumi talking to Eiji, he even saw the flirtatious gestures and gentle smile she showed the boy.
Why, Megumi, why?!
You really are blind!
Tomoya had given up on Utaha and Eriri because he thought they were so dirty.
But Megumi?
Even though she had also betrayed him by showing interest in his biggest enemy, Eiji.
She was his first love!
He still wanted to believe that Megumi would come back to him after knowing how bad Eiji was.
Compared to that boy, wasn't the relationship they had nurtured for three months at the game club more valuable?
At least Megumi still held him in her heart, right?
She now disliked him only because she was disappointed to see what he had done before going to prison.
Because of that during this time, Tomoya tried to make himself look good by diligently helping his classmates or others in front of her.
On his way home from school, he even deliberately helped a grandmother cross the street to show that he had changed!
Megumi should have witnessed that scene but why?
Why was she indifferent to her and so gentle with Eiji?!!!
Tomoya roared in his heart and didn't realize his expression scared some of the students who were waiting in line to buy food at the cafeteria.
They wondered what was wrong with that boy?
Are you so upset about having to wait in line to buy food at the cafeteria?
Or are you just crazy?
As one of the people who knew why Tomoya looked like that, Eiji couldn't help but smile and laugh.
Megumi was aware of Tomoya's existence and even heard his inner voice but, she pretended not to know and did not bother to glance at him.
That boy was one of the reasons why she had called Eiji to the cafeteria, she had deliberately created a situation where he saw her with another boy.
Megumi was annoyed with Tomoya for following her around and showing himself off in front of her. She wasn't stupid and knew he was deliberately showing his good side to her to improve his relationship with her.
Sorry, but that's not possible.
The only thing Megumi felt for Tomoya was disgust that he had been stalking her for over a week. Any girl would at least feel disgusted and annoyed, right?
And the other reason why she called Eiji here was...
"I'm not as kind as you say." Eiji said humbly and asked. "So what help does Megumi need from me? Is it help getting rid of a stalker like you asked the service club?"
"That boy must have troubled you a lot and sorry, we haven't discussed a good plan to mentally torture him."
Tomoya who was secretly eavesdropping on the conversation of the two people was confused.
{Eiji, what are you saying? You said someone is stalking Megumi? Who is he? How dare he?! And Megumi, why did you ask Eiji for help? You should have asked for my help!}
{With my current strength. I can protect you from that perverted and disgusting stalker!}
Megumi: "....."
Eiji: "....."
Even the other heroines felt strange because wasn't the stalker Tomoya?!
Don't you realize the person Eiji is talking about is yourself?
Megumi wondered in her heart and yes, Tomoya obviously didn't know because he was stupid and insensitive in many ways.
She ignored the boy and said while looking at Eiji's handsome face. "It's okay, Eiji-kun. I can wait for that matter but the favor I'm referring to now is not that."
"Then what?" Eiji was confused because before coming here, he didn't use his Future Insight.
And after seeing the situation, he thought Megumi wanted him to act with her and make Tomoya feel green.
If that was true, he would gladly do it.
"Actually, I just wanted to ask you to accompany me to lunch at the cafeteria because today I forgot to bring my lunchbox from home. Eiji-kun... Do you mind accompanying me?"
"You want to have lunch with me? Sure, I don't mind." Eiji skipped over this possibility in his mind and was a little surprised.
He wasn't sure if Megumi really forgot to bring the lunch box from home or if she was deliberately saying that just so she would have an excuse to invite him to have lunch together in the cafeteria.
In short, Megumi was lying!
However, whether it was true or not.
He himself wasn't sure.
Megumi smiled a little at what Eiji had said.
While the two started ordering food together.
"....."
Protagonist Tomoya was frozen in place.
Knowing that the girl he loved called his enemy to have lunch with him made him sad.
His heart that already had several holes from being stabbed by Utaha and Eriri in the past now had new holes.
He even felt like his head was heavier because his green hat was shining brightly! No one else could see that scene except one person.
It was Eiji and he couldn't help but think...
[Protagonist Tomoya is so pathetic.]
[I'm happy to see him like that.]
