NOVEL WEB Chapter 24 – Giving Advice
‘Ah, something troublesome just entered the cafeteria.’
I was already in a foul mood because Koneko refused to call me onii-chan, and now a pervert has come inside the cafeteria.
Just because I saw him exit the class with his friends, I thought that he would peep at some girls in the courtyard, but it seems he also need some lunch so he came here.
It’s not like I hate him. Perverted behavior is normal for boys, he put it on a different level. Well, if he spied on my girls, I will beat him up regardless of his excuse though.
I looked at Koneko and Kuroka and saw them ignoring their shout and kept enjoying their meal. Following their example, I ignored the perverted trio and continue eating my ramen too.
I could feel him walking towards our table with his friends, the bald one and the glasses one. I forgot their name… but if they made a fuss on our table, don’t blame me if I showed off a little.
I kept ignoring them until they finally arrived at the side of our table. Issei looked at Koneko before he noticed Kuroka that sat beside her. I readied myself in case Issei looked at her with his lecherous gaze, but to my surprise, he looked at Koneko and asked her.
“Hey, Koneko-chan. Why are you eating with him?” As he said that, he looked at me warily.
Oh, right. The incident yesterday must’ve left him wary of me. Well, the serious atmosphere was broken almost immediately by his friends though.
“That’s right!! Why is the school mascot eating together with the new King of Kuoh on the same table!” The bald friend of Issei- Matsuda, if I remember correctly shouted while pointing his finger at me.
“Not to mention the new beauty of Kuoh! How did this happen?!!” The boy wearing glasses- Motohama, added while pointing his finger at Kuroka.
“Hey, that’s right! What are you doing here!!” This time, Issei shouted at me while crossing his arms.
Both of his friends also crossed their arms as they are looking at me, waiting for my answer. I slurped my ramen and drink a mouthful of broth before looking at them and saying.
“What’s wrong with eating together with my lover and her sister?”
“””WH-WHAAATT???!!””” the perverted trio shouted the same time as they backed away a little.
Kuroka’s ear perked up when she heard me, she smiled and leaned towards Koneko. “Nya~ Shirone, he said that I am his lover!”
Koneko stopped eating her lunch as she looked at me in surprise. She turned to her sister and saw Kuroka have a big smile as she put both of her hands on her cheeks. Is she that happy to be called my lover?
“Calm down Issei, Matsuda.” I looked at the one who said that, and it turned out to be the glasses boy, Motohama.
He fixed his glasses as he said seriously. “There is one more transfer student! If this girl here is his lover then the other one must be his friend! We still have a chance!!”
“I see!! You are a genius!” Shouted Issei excitedly.
“As expected from our scouter. Nothing escaped your eyes!!” Added Matsuda as he put his hand on Motohama’s shoulder.
I let out a long sigh because of their antic and I decided to break their fantasy for real.
“Tsura is also my girl, don’t even try to do anything to her. I will beat you up if you ever think about her.”
“Guh! It’s unfair!!”
“As always, it’s the handsome guy that got the beautiful one!”
Motohama and Matsuda cried out in frustration, but Issei just looked at me with his eyes open wide. He suddenly bowed at me and shouted.
“Please teach me how to get a harem!!!”
I was surprised by his sudden outburst and looked at him in wonder. Why did he think that I know how to teach him to get a harem?! He’s the fucking harem king in the future! But when I think about it, he was not afraid of me anymore in just a few minutes.
I won’t give Koneko to him though, I am protective of Koneko after I meet her earlier. Gotta do what a good older brother does, and that’s filtering a boy that gets close to his little sister!
But, this too has become interesting. I could teach him the way to achieve harem (lol) while watching him woo other devils from the close range.
I put my hand on my chin and said. “Hmm, in the first place, do you know why Kuroka and Tsura accepted me as their lover?”
Issei raised his head and said. “Is it because you’re handsome?”
He scratched his cheek as he peeked over Kuroka to see her reaction. Unfortunately for Issei, Kuroka was focusing on Koneko right now and they were still chatting together, ignoring us, I am included.
“That’s right! That’s because I’m handsome. But not only that, didn’t you have someone close to you even if you are a pervert? Try to get close to them! Be sincere, help them if they need something! You will get a harem if you do that.”
I gave Issei a piece of advice or rather a way to get a harem. That strategy was used by many famous figures and they were all managed to get a harem.
Yes, I was talking about the shounen protagonist.
Issei’s eyes bulged in realization and he bowed to me again.
“Thank you very much!! I will apply your strategy from now on!!” He raised his head again after he said that.
I looked over Issei and saw Motohama take a note out of nowhere and begin to write something at a fast speed while Matsuda just nodded his head repeatedly with his eyes closed.
‘What’s wrong with those guys? But at least Issei’s perverted behavior will be lessened with this. I hope.’
I can’t seem to comprehend them. When I thought that Issei will finally be able to control, or at least rend his perverted behavior, his next statements really flip me off.
“So I need to be sincere to them that I wanted to see their boobs! I must help them when they need help to put on a bra! Really, thank you very much! I will go to Buchou right now!!” With that, he run away from the cafeteria, followed by his friends that yelled ‘Wait for us!!’.
I feel gaze directed to me from Koneko and saw her glaring at me as if she wanted to kill me.
“Pervert.” She just said one word to me and tidied up her empty lunch box before she turned to Kuroka.
‘That’s my fault?!’ I was honestly felt bad for Rias and her peerage after what Issei said earlier. That’s not my fault though!
“I need to go now, Onee-chan. Please call me anytime if you wanted to meet again. But, don’t bring him please.”
“Nya~ I will. Riku-sama is a good man, don’t be too hard on him nya, Shirone! Also, he’s not a pervert like that boy earlier!” Kuroka tried to defend me, but I think Koneko’s opinion had hit rock's bottom and it will be hard for me to get close to her again.
“Well, I admit that he’s better than Issei-senpai.”
Hearing her words, I smiled and nodded my head repeatedly.
‘Right, I am not a pervert like Issei! I just loved pranks like my old man!’
“But he’s still a pervert.”
‘Damn it!! Just wait in the future, Koneko. I will make you call me Onii-chan!’
With that, our lunch ended and we were going back to our class for the second period of class.
