Chapter 730: Lori's quick death
"I'm Eiji Seiya, Utaha and Eriri's boyfriend. Seducing my girls is not a good course of action."
Eiji said that with a faint smile.
However, Lori felt a chill in his heart. He swallowed. His surprise wasn't just limited to Eiji's identity as the boyfriend of Utaha and Eriri. He was also further intimidated by the gaze Eiji gave him.
Those blood-red eyes made his legs feel weak.
Lori stutteringly said, "S-Sorry, but there's a misunderstanding here. My name is Lori Hashima, I'm the acquaintance of Utako Kasumi-sensei and Eri Kashiwagi-sensei. I just want to invite them to cooperate with me."
"Acquaintance?" Instead of asking what cooperation, Eiji was more curious if Lori really knew Utaha and Eriri.
Of course, he was just pretending not to know because based on the original work and the current timeline. Utaha and Eriri seemed to have gotten acquainted with Lori when they were still making games with Tomoya in the past.
Their relationship couldn't be said to be good because initially Lori was more like a person who wanted to snatch the two girls from the protagonist group. He wanted their talents in his own group to make games.
Utaha and Eriri were worried that Eiji would misunderstand and hurriedly said simultaneously.
"This is the second time I've met Hashima-san. When I first saw him and Tomoya-san talking to each other, I just thought of him as a passerby."
"Me too! I don't have any relationship with her. Hmph! Hashima, don't act like we have a good relationship. I'm afraid my boyfriend, Eiji will misunderstand!"
Eiji nodded. "Oh, I see."
He was satisfied with the two girls' answers.
Utaha and Eriri were relieved that Eiji seemed to believe them. What they said was also true, they weren't lying at all.
Although the way they said it was a bit exaggerated to the point that Lori looked dumbfounded. None of them cared about his feelings.
Lori's lips twitched. It was true that his attitude towards Utaha and Eriri was pretentious, but he was just being friendly! The two girls were bluntly saying they had nothing to do with him.
Isn't that too cruel?!
However, Lori was even more envious of Eiji because Utaha and Eriri were obviously worried that he would misunderstand. That meant they really loved him.
The two girls were even willing to be his girlfriends at the same time.
Damn, is Eiji the protagonist of the harem?!
I'm so jealous.
At the same time, he felt that Tomoya who once had a good relationship with the two girls was pathetic.
"Then... What cooperation do you want from Utaha and Eriri?" Eiji asked curiously.
Although he already knew it must have something to do with making games.
Lori immediately forgot his sadness because Utaha and Eriri were Eiji's girlfriends, they didn't even like him. Even so, he didn't give up and was still thinking of persuading them.
But before that, he knew he had to deal with their boyfriend first. Lori was a little confident.
"May I call you Eiji?"
"Sure, Lori."
"Thank you." Unlike his casual attitude towards Utaha and Eriri earlier. Lori was being humble when talking to Eiji.
Utaha and Eriri wondered what Eiji would do to that boy?
With his possessiveness, there was no way he could really wait to listen to Lori's offer to them.
[I know it must be a collaboration to make a game. In the original work, Lori had tried to snatch Utaha and Eriri from Tomoya's group.]
[He failed and I want to make him feel the same way before I will...]
Sure enough, Eiji had no good intentions!
Utaha and Eriri weren't surprised and looked at Lori as if he was a dead person.
Lori didn't know this and said, "The cooperation I'm referring to is inviting Utako Kasumi-sensei and Eri Kashiwagi-sensei to join the doujin circle I joined. Have you ever heard of Rouge en rouge?"
"No."
"....."
Lori thought Eiji wasn't an otaku, he seemed to be a normie. He wondered how two otaku girls like Utaha and Eriri could date that boy?
Ah, is it because his looks are so handsome?
Lori complained in his heart because when they first met him, Utaha and Eriri were not interested in him and preferred Tomoya even though he was handsome.
"It's a famous circle that makes adult games."
"You want my girls to help you make that kind of game?"
"Y-Yes, there's no harm, right? We have a new project. With Utako Kasumi-sensei's writing talent and Eri Kashiwagi-sensei's drawing talent, we'll definitely make the game a big success and make a lot of money together!"
"I have no problem with adult games because we like doing real adult things. In short it's a job offer with a not-so-little salary?"
"Yes!"
Lori was excited because he thought Eiji wouldn't refuse to let his two girlfriends join his circle after knowing the benefits they would get.
Still, had Eiji and the two girls done such things? I mean... Sex?
Imagining the three of them having a threesome, Lori felt sour until his smile turned ugly.
Don't be jealous, Lori! Once you become the King of the otaku industry or have a lot of money, you should also be able to have two beautiful girls willing to be your girlfriends at the same time.
He suddenly wanted to have a harem.
After all, he was a man who loved otaku culture. Only unlike Tomoya, he was handsome and knew how to flirt with girls.
At his school, he was a popular boy. It wasn't an impossible goal for him, right?
"Utaha, Eriri. You guys heard about it, are you interested?"
Eiji asked the two girls sitting opposite each other at the table with food and drinks on it. Unlike in the original work, they seemed to be getting along well with each other. That was good.
As the Harem King, he was happy that the women in his harem had a good relationship.
That way there was less chance that his backyard would have a fire.
[You have a halo harem to prevent such a thing from happening until now, host.]
'I know, I didn't forget.'
[Really?]
Eiji was too lazy to answer.
Miss System doubted her host because she knew how bad his memory was.
Hearing Eiji's question, Utaha and Eriri's answers were clear.
"My answer is still the same as before. I'm not interested, Eriri and I are also busy with the project we have together."
"What Utaha said is right. But without that, I'm not interested in making a game either."
They refused for the second time which made Lori's face look grim.
The corners of Eiji's lips lifted higher, he stuffed both hands into his pants pockets and looked down at Lori who was shorter than him.
"Both my girlfriends refused, Lori."
"I... I understand. Too bad."
Lori forced a smile but his hands were clenched into fists, he was annoyed because right now he felt Eiji was mocking him.
"Anything else you want to say?"
"No, nothing. I'll leave now."
After saying that, Lori reluctantly turned around and walked out of the cafe.
He didn't even say anything more to Utaha and Eriri.
Utaha and Eriri didn't care. However, what they didn't know was that shortly after Lori left, the taxi he was in was hit by a truck and rolled into a river.
Lori fell into a coma and when the ambulance was on its way, he lost a lot of blood and would die after that.
Was it a coincidence?
"Utaha, I'm thirsty. Can I drink your drink?" Eiji sat beside Utaha while hugging her shoulder.
"Yes. Should I help you drink it?"
Eiji did not answer and judging by his silence, Utaha smiled amusedly. She knew he wanted it, she grabbed the glass containing her drink and helped the boy drink it with a straw.
Seeing the two people in front of her looking intimate, Eriri was jealous. Although she was tsundere, she got up from her seat and sat on Eiji's other side.
Her movements were like a blonde cat who couldn't wait to attach her body to her owner.
Meow!
"Eriri, this seat is made for two people... How childish."
"Kasumigaoka Utaha, I'm also Eiji's girlfriend. It's natural for me to sit next to him!"
"What's this? Did you forget you're a tsundere? You're too honest today, are you sick?"
"I'm not sick, you are!"
The two beautiful girls started arguing. However, what made the male customers jealous was Eiji!
After drinking the drink Utaha ordered, he also hugged Eriri's shoulder. Currently, Eiji was seen hugging the two of them and spreading dog food to the spectators.
Damn!
Who is this boy?
Those two pretty girls are really his girlfriends?
He was too lucky!
"E-Eiji?" Eriri blushed at the mere touch of her boyfriend. She saw Utaha pouting at her which annoyed her, but refrained from shouting because Eiji was staring at her.
"Eriri, feed me some fries."
"O-Oke, say aaa..."
With her slender fingers, Eriri picked up the fries on the plate and sent them to her boyfriend's mouth.
She was embarrassed because she felt a lot of gazes on them but tried to endure it.
Eiji opened his mouth and ate the fries from Eriri's hand.
"Is it delicious?" Eriri asked curiously.
Eiji smiled and said, "Since it came from Eriri's hand, it's delicious."
"R-Really? Hehe~"
Eriri laughed silly just because of Eiji's sweet words.
Utaha rolled her eyes. Eriri, you are a ridiculous golden retriever!
Even so, she also didn't want to lose and hugged Eiji's arm until her big breasts pressed against him.
"Eiji~ You're not angry because of what happened before, right?"
Hearing this, Eriri looked at her boyfriend's handsome face nervously.
Eiji held his chin before saying, "You mean because Lori dared to want you two to join his circle? Don't worry, you two have rejected him which makes me happy."
"How could I be angry?"
Utaha and Eriri were relieved but what they heard from Eiji's inner voice surprised them.
[It's true that I'm not angry at Utaha and Eriri. But I'm a little annoyed at Lori, he dared to seduce them. So... I accidentally used my ability to manipulate probability. After leaving the cafe, the boy had an accident and died before the ambulance could take him to the hospital.]
You didn't do it on purpose? You obviously did it on purpose!
Utaha and Eriri shuddered. Sure enough, their boyfriend was so possessive that he wouldn't forgive another man who dared to seduce his women.
What if it was the protagonists?
They were even more pathetic because Eiji mentally tortured them by giving them green hats. Some of them went crazy and died because of that.
"Hnn~ Eiji, not here..."
At this moment, Eriri suddenly moaned with a blush on her cheeks.
"Eiji..." Utaha looked at the hand that descended from her shoulder and began to grope her breasts helplessly.
Eiji, you pervert!
Didn't you recently have a foursome with Rias, Akeno and Koneko?
You're still not satisfied!
From where she sat, Utaha could see many of the male customers' eyes fixed on them turn green.
Eiji's hobby was very bad.
"It's getting dark. Eriri, Utaha, how about going home and taking a bath together?"
The going home that Eiji was referring to was clearly going back to his home.
Eriri and Utaha knew this, they even knew the boy seemed to want to have a threesome with them!
If it was in the past when they had just joined his harem, they might have refused due to not liking each other.
But now... Wait, they had even had a foursome with Megumi in it in the past.
Utaha and Eriri looked at each other with a blush on their pretty faces.
"Alright, let's go home, Eiji."
"Wait a minute, I'll call my mom and tell her that her daughter won't be coming home tonight."
Unlike Utaha who had lived in Eiji's house for a long time. Eriri only sometimes stayed at Eiji's house, but still lived in her family's house.
After all, her father was busy working overseas and rarely came home. If Eriri stayed at her boyfriend's house, her mother would live alone in their family home.
Eiji agreed and waited for Eriri to tell her mother first. Speaking of Sayuri... Ehem! Should I?
[You're also greedy for Eriri's mother, host?]
'Meow, Miss System. I just feel sorry for her.'
[You feel sorry for her that you want to sleep with her?]
'That's true but... Miss System, can you stop saying things like that to your host?'
[Saying what, meow?]
You always clarify what your host says as if you want everyone to know what I mean!
Also, did you just get bitten by a dog?
[No way, meow. And no, I just caught crazy cat disease from my host, meow.]
Leme: Miss Neighbor and my King have a good relationship. Why don't you two go on a date?
Eiji: Leme, we're actually engaged. But Miss System is too shy to show herself to me.
[Leme, don't listen to what that man says. I'm System!]
Leme: "..."
As she thought, Miss Neighbor and her King's relationship is very good.
...
At the Spencer family residence.
"What? Eriri, you're not going home because you're staying at Eiji-kun's house tonight?"
With an appearance almost similar to Eriri's except for her black hair, Sayuri repeated what her daughter had said on the phone.
There was a hint of jealousy on her face that she shouldn't have since she already had a husband!
Someone might be able to take advantage of her loneliness and seduce her.
Eiji: Who is it? It's me!
Miss System: Sayuri already has a husband, did you forget, host? By the way, peeking at your mother-in-law from this distance with your perception violates privacy.
Eiji: Miss System, you're naive. It's natural for a wife who is lonely because her husband rarely comes home to be tempted by her son-in-law.
Miss System: No, it's not natural!
Eriri's voice came from the other side of the phone. "Yes, mom. Didn't I say it clearly? You don't mind, do you?"
"I don't mind but... Wooo! Eriri, you're going to make your mom lonely. When you and Eiji-kun are having fun in bed. How about you make a video call with mom at that time?"
Sayuri pretended to cry.
How cute is my mother-in-law, Eiji thought.
"Mom, are you crazy?!"
Eriri sounded embarrassed from hearing her mother's shameless request.
"Eriri, please~ As a mother, I want to see my daughter mature."
"The mature you are now referring to is definitely not the mature that other mothers would say!
"Tsk."
"Mom, are you clucking your tongue?"
Sayuri smiled and said, "Rather than that, Eriri..."
"Hey, don't ignore my question."
"If you refuse my request, I'll call Eiji-kun. I'm sure he won't refuse."
"....!"
Eriri did not expect her mother to be so persistent in this matter.
And she didn't know that at this moment, Eiji nodded and thought about agreeing to her mother's request.
