After finishing their shopping—I mean, their date with Nanao—Eiji drove her home in his car.
As for Basara, who was lying on the sidewalk?
People nearby had already called an ambulance for him; he must be at the hospital by now.
Still, just as he was about to head to a certain restaurant for lunch with Mahiru.
Eiji glanced at his digital watch. The numbers on the screen showed 1:00 p.m.; he just realized he was an hour late.
"This is bad—I guess I spent too much time pounding Nanao from the front and back earlier."
[That's because you're too perverted, host.]
He didn't argue with what Miss System said.
Who made Nanao's two lower holes so tight?
He'd even cum more than three times in each of those holes.
Eiji sighed; making a beautiful woman wait for an hour was a grave sin for a man.
As the Harem King, he couldn't tolerate this!
"So, let's do it again."
*Click*
The world around him suddenly went blurry for a millisecond. Reality distorted, erasing the hour that had passed along with his entire physical journey. In the blink of an eye, the scene inside the car transformed into the warm atmosphere of a quiet family restaurant.
Eiji's watch magically spun backward, returning to exactly 12:00 p.m.—the perfect time according to their promise. But don't get the wrong idea—nothing that had happened to Basara and Nanao was affected in the slightest.
He was now sitting neatly at one of the restaurant's booths. Across from him sat a woman with long, silky blonde hair and clear caramel-colored eyes. Mahiru Shiina was gracefully reading the menu, completely unaware that he was sitting right in front of her.
How cute she was—his future wife.
'My one-hour delay… and the distance between Nanao's house and the restaurant where Mahiru is waiting… I've made it nonexistent.'
Eiji smiled faintly. To him, abstract concepts like "time" and "distance" were nothing more than toys.
Thanks to All Fiction.
He didn't even need clones to date several women at the same time in a single day.
Clones are only for weak protagonists! He, Eiji Seiya, was not one of them.
[After all, you're a villain, host.]
"Miss System, shut up."
Eiji combed his hair back and struck a pose, clasping his hands together on the table. Then, he laughed, "Kukuku."
Miss System: Do you really have to laugh like that?
Leme: Hehehe.
Hearing that laugh, Mahiru looked up; she was a little surprised to see Eiji suddenly sitting in front of her—she hadn't even noticed when he'd arrived.
However, that look of surprise quickly gave way to a sweet little smile—though it was tinged with a slight pout.
"You're right on time, Eiji." Mahiru said as she adjusted her posture. "I was just about to send you a message to make sure you didn't forget about our lunch plan."
"Mahiru, you're underestimating my memory. When I have a plan with a beautiful woman, I never forget."
The person saying that was the same person who had previously been an hour late because he'd forgotten.
Eiji showed no sign of embarrassment; he even smiled so broadly that Mahiru couldn't help but blush.
Mahiru turned her face toward the window, trying to hide her embarrassment behind her blonde hair. "Don't tease me... H-Hurry up and choose your meal. I'm treating you today, so order whatever you like."
"Alright."
Mahiru's adorable reaction made Eiji chuckle softly. But he remembered her financial situation; he knew she should be saving money because, ever since she'd heard her parents no longer wanted her, she'd had to survive on her own with the rest of her savings. Even so, she was determined to treat him.
How could Eiji not be moved?
At the same time, he also felt sorry for her.
He had to make her his girlfriend right away and give her a warm home! A woman as beautiful as her didn't need to worry about money—she just had to ask him for it.
After all, he was her future husband.
Still, for now, Eiji had no intention of refusing Mahiru's kind offer to treat him so she wouldn't feel like she was being pitied.
He opened the menu, but his eyes occasionally glanced toward Mahiru, who was still busy calming her own racing heart. The calm atmosphere of the family restaurant, accompanied by soft instrumental music in the background, put everyone at ease.
"How about ordering the Hamburger Steak set?" Eiji asked, breaking the silence that had lasted for a few seconds. "I see that's the recommended dish here."
Mahiru looked back at Eiji, her eyes blinking slowly.
"Ah, sure. But… actually, Eiji." She hesitated slightly, her fingers interlaced on the table. "If you don't mind, I could cook that for you at my apartment tonight. Buying food out like this feels a bit wasteful, and I'm sure my cooking is much healthier since I can control the calorie content."
[Mahiru, you're not trying to save money while sweet-talking me into coming over to your place tonight, are you?]
[At first, I was wondering how I could close the distance between us. But I didn't expect you to be so aggressive!]
[Besides being an Angel, are you also a Succubus!?]
Y-You're wrong!
Eiji, this... this isn't what you think!
At least not entirely...
Mahiru sighed inwardly; a blush spread across her cheeks. She didn't dare look Eiji in the eye and instead scanned the random menu items on the table.
'Gosh, I can barely control my grin.'
Eiji held back a grin—Mahiru was so cute.
[You're practically drooling too, host.]
'Miss System, don't joke around. My self-control isn't that bad.'
Let me tell you, Miss System was really joking this time.
Eiji was stunned for a moment, then smiled, revealing his white teeth. Mahiru's domestic nature and attentiveness, just like a young wife's, managed to impress him. "Really? In that case, let's just have a light lunch here today, and then I'll hold you to your promise for dinner at your apartment later."
He didn't refuse the invitation to dinner at Mahiru's place. Even though after this, he still had a date with Nino. Gosh, being a man with a harem is tough, but he'll never give up and will use All Fiction to defy the concept of time.
Time: You're cheating!
Eiji: Hehehe.
Mahiru's face flushed again at the mention of 'tonight.' However, she nodded in obedient agreement. "All right. But please don't set your expectations too high for my cooking."
After the waiter took their order—two servings of fruit salad and hot tea bags to tide them over—a comfortable silence once again settled over their table. Mahiru propped her chin in her hand, gazing at Eiji with a gentle, probing look.
"Eiji, I suddenly remembered something strange about you."
"Me? I'm just an ordinary high school student."
Eiji said this without changing his expression.
Mahiru rolled her eyes.
"I don't believe you."
"Why not?"
"What ordinary high school student can stop the rain? Not only that, but a moment ago you also suddenly appeared right in front of me as if you'd teleported. I didn't even hear my own footsteps before you arrived."
Hearing Mahiru's analysis, Eiji looked surprised and covered his eyes with one hand. The gap between his fingers then opened, his pose somewhat resembling Lilebette in her chuuni mode.
Mahiru found it amusing.
"Detective Mahiru, you've caught me. That's right—I'm actually not just an ordinary high school student!"
"Oh."
"Wait a second—don't react just yet until I finish what I'm saying."
"Go on."
The beautiful blonde woman said, her large caramel-colored eyes reflecting Eiji's handsome face.
Eiji took his hand away from his eyes before sighing and saying, "Actually... I'm a Demon Lord from another world. In this world, there are also devils, angels, fallen angels, youkai, gods, and other supernatural beings."
Mahiru's eyes widened; she looked even cuter.
"Is that true?"
"Do you believe what I'm saying?"
"Are you kidding?"
Seeing Mahiru glaring at him, Eiji chuckled and shook his head. "I'm not joking. So, is Mahiru still going to invite the Demon Lord over for dinner at her place? Aren't you afraid I'll eat you?"
Mahiru was taken aback, but she soon let out a small laugh. She shook her head before answering, "I'm not afraid… I-I trust you, Eiji. You wouldn't force me to do something I don't want to do."
[So it's okay if Mahiru lets me eat her?]
Your logic is strange, but it's not entirely wrong, Eiji!
Mahiru's lips twitched.
In fact, from his inner voice so far, she knew he wasn't an ordinary person, and that he had ambiguous relationships with other women.
He might be a bastard.
Even so, Mahiru couldn't bring herself to hate him; in fact, she longed for the touch and warmth he'd given her at the playground yesterday.
She wanted to feel that again.
That's why, even though they'd only met yesterday, she invited Eiji over for dinner at her place.
Mahiru isn't as innocent as she looks; she's actually quite cunning. Eiji didn't hate her for that; in fact, he actually liked her even more.
"You know what, Mahiru? You're like a blonde cat that's hungry for attention and warmth from its owner. I like that." Eiji teased the woman he was referring to.
"I-I'm not a blonde cat! And Eiji, you're not my owner... Hmph!"
Mahiru snorted; she pouted and turned her face toward the window to hide her little smile. Her heart rate spiked because of what Eiji had just said.
[+2]
[+3]
[+2]
Her affection for him increased by a few points.
'See? You're just like a cat, Mahiru.'
Eiji looked at the notification from Leme with a mix of joy and amusement. Come to think of it, Mahiru actually has very weak defenses. Otherwise, the protagonist Amane in the original work wouldn't have been able to make her give her heart to him so quickly.
Of course, it was also because he gave Mahiru an umbrella so she wouldn't get caught in the rain when her emotions were at their lowest. His kindness immediately touched her heart.
With a little help at just the right moment, you can win an angel like Mahiru as your wife.
What man wouldn't try it if he knew that method would work on Mahiru?
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
A server finally brought their order and set it on the table.
Mahiru and Eiji thanked the server before they ate, and continued their conversation.
Actually, Mahiru was the one asking the most questions. For example, where Eiji lived, where he went to school, what his favorite food was, his hobbies, and the things he liked to do in his free time.
She wanted to get to know him better.
Eiji, of course, didn't mind, and honestly told her everything she wanted to know.
Because of that, Mahiru even knew that many women lived in his house. In short, he has a harem, and she frowned when she heard that.
However, her affection for him didn't waver, and she didn't back down from her plan to invite him over for dinner at her apartment.
Not only was she sly, but she was also selfish and didn't really care about the fact that Eiji had many women. In fact, she thought she was seizing the opportunity to become one of them.
'W-What was I thinking!? How could I even think about becoming one of Eiji's women!?'
Mahiru herself was confused by her own thoughts; she felt she'd acted too hastily.
Thanks to Harem Halo.
Eiji gave it a thumbs-up.
Harem Halo: (>....<)
Actually, he also used All Fiction a little to make the harem seem like something quite normal in that world.
It's only natural for a handsome and talented man like him to have many wives.
Mahiru knew this.
...
Time passed.
Not only did they have lunch at a restaurant, but Eiji also took Mahiru out for a walk and to see a movie together at the theater. That time, he treated her. Mahiru was initially reluctant to let him spend money on her, but under his sweet persuasion, she didn't refuse and had a good time.
After that, Eiji drove Mahiru back to her apartment. When she saw his BMW, Mahiru was naturally surprised and impressed because he had bought it with his own money.
To be precise, Eiji had also told Mahiru that he owned several companies managed by some of his women.
Mahiru now realized that the guy who gave her an umbrella at the playground was actually very rich, even though he was still a high school student.
She wasn't a gold-digger, but her admiration for him caused her positive feelings toward him to grow even stronger. The progress of Eiji's relationship with Mahiru is comparable to what Amane achieved over the course of a year in the original work.
"I, Eiji Seiya, am faster than the JP beta protagonists. If Amane pedals a bike, I'll floor the gas pedal of a Viper GTS and leave him in the dust."
[Ahem! Host, don't put it so bluntly.]
"Ah, sorry."
While driving his car toward Nino's location, Eiji apologized for what he had said.
[By the way, you're driving a BMW M5.]
"Correction—I meant the BMW M5."
Does that matter?
Miss System was as chatty as ever.
Eiji checked his phone and saw many messages from Nino that he hadn't replied to yet. His lips twitched; he could imagine Nino's dissatisfied expression because she'd been waiting so long. Besides, his date with Mahiru ended at 5:20 p.m.; he was more than twenty minutes late.
He had no choice but to use All Fiction again.
Erase his "delay" and create a "new timeline" connected to the other timelines.
All Fiction: I'm a hardworking newcomer!
*Click*
Then, with a Vroom! Vroom! Eiji's car stopped in front of a French-style pastry shop on the corner of another street.
That was the restaurant where Nino worked part-time. This morning, she asked him to pick her up and take her home, saying she was afraid to walk home alone as the sun was about to set, and the distance between her apartment and the restaurant where she worked was quite far.
It sounded like a made-up excuse, but Eiji didn't refuse, and here he was now.
He'd come to pick up one of his wives and take her home!
He'll protect her and won't let any man take the opportunity to flirt with her.
{Nino: Eiji! My shift ends in 15 minutes. Don't be late picking me up! (Butterfly.jpg)}
That was a Line message from Nino that came in 14 minutes ago.
Eiji typed and replied to the message.
{I'm already in front of the restaurant.}
At the same time, inside the restaurant. Nino saw Eiji's message and, feeling excited, hurried to change her clothes in the employee locker room. She also didn't forget to freshen up a bit, reattaching the butterfly-shaped ribbons on both sides of her head.
She was undoubtedly very cute, and sexy when combined with her curvy figure and large breasts.
Because of that, when she came out of the changing room, one of her senior coworkers couldn't help but say, "Nino, how about I give you a ride home on my motorcycle? It's dangerous for a woman as pretty as you to go home alone."
Nino stopped in her tracks; she glanced at a blond man in a chef's uniform walking toward her from the kitchen. He was quite handsome, but compared to Eiji?
She looked at him indifferently, "No, thank you, Senpai. My boyfriend is picking me up and will take me home. He's waiting in front of the restaurant right now."
"…!"
Upon learning that Nino had a boyfriend, the blond upperclassman froze and felt jealous of whoever was dating her.
Is he better-looking than me!?
Not far behind, he followed Nino to see who the lucky guy was.
But when Eiji, sitting in the front seat of the BMW with his arms crossed, came into view, his eyes widened and his mouth dropped open.
He was completely outclassed!
Nino's boyfriend was way more handsome than him, and he seemed incredibly rich! He picked her up in a BMW.
"Eiji!"
Nino shouted with a bright smile on her pretty face as she walked out of the restaurant, waving her hand.
When she reached him, she hurriedly said, "Sorry to keep you waiting."
Eiji opened the front door of the car; he smiled and glanced at a blond man peeking out from inside the restaurant for a moment—there was a twinkle in his eyes.
To him, the other man's face looked green.
"I just got here a few minutes ago. Get in, Nino."
He used All Fiction to erase the presence of the man who seemed to have a crush on Nino. From the very beginning, he had never existed; no one thought he had disappeared.
Hearing what Eiji said, Nino didn't hesitate to go inside and put on her safety gear. Then, she turned to Eiji, who was sitting next to her.
She gave him a charming smile; the sweet scent of caramel and vanilla—typical of a bakery—was still faintly lingering on her.
"What's up? Are you really happy that your boyfriend is picking you up?" Eiji teased the pink-haired woman.
"B-Boyfriend!?"
Nino blushed and stammered, even though what Eiji said wasn't wrong.
"Why are you so surprised? You called me your boyfriend just a moment ago."
"You heard that!? Aren't your ears a little too sharp?"
Nino grew even more embarrassed, but that was only for a moment before she crossed her arms and puffed out her ample chest. "That's right. After all, you really are my boyfriend. I'm just a little embarrassed, okay?"
[Just as expected from Nino. You're taking this opportunity to agree with what I said so you can hide your embarrassment.]
[Your arrogant attitude is cute.]
How did you know that, too!?
Hearing Eiji's inner voice, Nino suspected he could read her mind.
She'd known about his supernatural powers for a long time; she felt a bit helpless but wasn't going to take back her words.
The same went for her confession about a month ago—she'd shamelessly asked to join his harem.
She didn't give him her first kiss; she licked his penis and even swallowed his semen. Of course, she was still a little reluctant to have to share him with other women, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"I'm Homelander." Eiji said.
"I see, Mr. Homelander."
Nino didn't know who Homelander was; she pretended to understand and called him by that funny nickname.
Eiji started the car's engine and began driving. He casually asked, "I remember this is your first day on the job. Are you tired, pretty chef?"
Nino didn't deny it; instead, she snorted proudly and patted her ample chest with one hand. "Of course! Today was so exhausting—there were so many customers. But I managed to make every dessert on the menu until they were all sold out."
She then looked at Eiji with a spoiled, demanding gaze. "As a reward for my hard work, you have to take me out for a walk this afternoon. Got it, Eiji?"
Eiji's lips twitched—why did Nino's shameless attitude feel so familiar?
[You're looking at yourself, host.]
'Miss System, that's a funny joke.'
[I'm serious.]
"...." Eiji.
What could he do?
He didn't refuse Nino's request to go for a walk before he took her home.
That day, he really worked hard!
