Chapter 433: Lala’s mom
Chapter 433: Lala's mom
"Lala, why are you laughing all of a sudden?" Asked a pink-haired woman whose face was displayed in the video call projection.
Her face bore a resemblance to Lala's. But unlike Lala, she was more mature and had a motherly smile.
And her face was very beautiful. Eiji would definitely be surprised if he saw her and regret why he wasn't there.
Lala who laughed because she heard Eiji's inner voice couldn't tell her mother the truth. However, she could still do it with a trick that made her pass the censorship.
"Mama! Eiji is thinking of me, he seems to miss me!"
"Eh? Is your fiancé, Eiji-san there?"
Lala shook her head innocently. "No, he's busy saving the other world."
"Saving another world? He must be as strong as my daughter says he is. Well, it's a pity I can't talk to my future son-in-law right now."
The very beautiful woman was seen sighing. Her voice was very beautiful and even such movements looked very enchanting. If the person watching her now was not her daughter who was immune to her charms.
Other people, especially men other than her husband would usually drool and could not hold back their erections.
That was the horror of her charms as the most beautiful race in the universe, Charmian.
Sephie Michaela Deviluke often felt helpless because of her beauty.
People who did not know her would think she was narcissistic because of what she thought but that was a fact that anyone would believe after seeing her face.
"How do you know Eiji-san misses you, Lala?"
"Hehe~ Mama, somehow I knew!"
"...I see. Sometimes mama can also tell when your papa misses me because of the love between us. Well even though it's been a long time since I felt it."
Lala paused slightly; her mother had misunderstood. But because of the rules of the inner voice, she couldn't say that she really knew Eiji was thinking about her.
This wasn't just some vague feeling her mother had said.
And was it just her or was the last part her mother said a bit...
"By the way Lala."
"Um yes, Mama?" Lala tilted her head.
Sephie who saw her first daughter's cute face smiled more gently, "Sorry your mama still can't keep her promise to visit you and your two younger sisters. But soon I might be able to take some time off after finishing my work early. In a few days I will visit you all."
"Fufu so don't forget to tell Nana and Momo, okay?"
...
Trinity Seven universe.
Back to when Eiji had just complained in his heart.
At that moment Arata said to Hijiri, "I will do anything to save you, Hijiri. With my current strength, I can definitely bring you back to my side."
"Arata... Your confidence makes you cool. I know you're a great Magic King candidate. But you know we're enemies now, right? I'm very strong."
Hijiri said that without any sign of hostility, she was still smiling gently. But dark power and three familiar-looking magic circles came out of her body and at the same time she looked in pain.
"Magic King Element?!" Lilith and Mira shouted simultaneously.
"Those magic circles... This girl is crazier than me, right?" Lieselote said. But unlike the other Trinity Seven, she wasn't nervous because Eiji was by her side.
"Haha I think... you're just as crazy as Arata's cousin because in the past you absorbed Eiji's magic power, Liese."
Akio who knew how powerful a fraction of Eiji's magic power was compared to the Magic King Element wasn't too nervous. She could still laugh and mock Lieselote.
The girl in question stuck out her tongue before returning to hugging Eiji's arm and winking mischievously at the boy.
"What? Liese, you want to taste my magic again? I don't mind."
"Really?!"
"Yes but with other methods that I want. For example..."
Eiji whispered into Lieselote's ear in that situation.
Lieselote who heard what the boy said widened her eyes. Her face turned red and said, "Darling, you pervert. In this situation how can you... Okay, let's do that later."
"Eiji! What are you doing?"
"Eiji-san, please be more serious."
Lilith and Mira reprimanded Eiji with jealousy on their faces. They didn't know what Eiji was whispering to Lieselote, but it was definitely perverted stuff.
"Liese is also guilty, she's the perverted girl who provoked me first." Eiji shook his head, he pinched Lieselote's plump ass which made the naughty girl scream a little.
They joked around until Hijiri finally finished her rather long transformation. The girl's appearance changed, her previously shoulder-length hair now extended to her waist. On her right cheek was a crack similar to Arata in Astral Trinity mode and her arms turned into monster claws.
Her thick black robe also transformed into a black dress that displayed her white shoulders and quite bumpy figure.
The three magic circles encircling her that made the girls surprised was because each of the magic circles was from three different themes.
Each of those themes also seemed to be at the highest level and the mode Hijiri used to change her appearance did not seem to be the magus mode that mages and Trinity Seven usually had.
It was a mode...
"Arata, your friends are interesting. They can still joke around seeing me in this mode." Hijiri raised her eyebrows and her smile looked dangerous. Especially when she looked at Eiji, she was annoyed.
That man somehow made Ilia betray her. She didn't know what happened in the dimension Ilia created.
Whatever it was, she was confident in her current power.
Hijiri looked at Arata who was staring at her in a daze, her smile softened again and she raised one of her sinister claws. "Arata, do you know what mode this is? This is not the Magus mode you guys usually use."
"This is Satan mode."
"Satan?" Arata asked and at the same time he used entered his Magus mode. The other Trinity Seven were the same, they were wary of the power displayed by Hijiri.
Only Radix and Sora frowned slightly and Ilia had a guilty expression on her face.
Ilia tried to contact Hijiri using communication magic to explain what had happened to make her situation like this. Moreover, she wanted to tell her how scary Eiji was!
But Hijiri blocked her magic communication and she wouldn't talk to her.
The girl seemed to really feel betrayed and was sulking.
"That's right. This is a mode that can only be achieved when a mage masters the three themes to the highest level and reaches Trinity status. And with the Magic King Element that I got from 'Ruined World'... I can access this mode. The embodiment of the Ira Archive, Satan."
When saying this, Hijiri could not help but remember the past.
It was the good times before the Magic King Element inside Arata's body lost control and created the Breakdown Phenomenon, a black sun that killed everyone in the city including herself.
More precisely just like everyone else, her body became black particles that were sucked up by the black sun. Shortly before she died, she was in the "empty world" and saw many images where Arata who had become the Magic King and Trinity Seven destroyed the world many times in each reincarnation cycle.
Fortunately at that time the principal of Royal Liber Academy, Master Liber found her soul and brought her back to life. After being given another chance to live, Hijiri vowed to destroy this world. Why?
Eiji smiled faintly, he knew.
[Host, pretending to be mysterious?]
Miss System, wait a moment.
Look at me, I'll show you speed.
[...]
Miss System wondered what her host wanted to do? This is Hijiri we're talking about. Even if her host is greedy for that girl, I'm afraid it's difficult. Hijiri was already infatuated and became a sick girl who wanted to destroy the world because of the protagonist. To avoid spoilers that detracted from the fun, Miss System deliberately disabled the man's mind-reading feature.
Leme also did the same, she was already sitting sweetly in front of the window showing the livestream with a bottle of cola and french fries sent by Miss Neighbor (Miss System).
At this moment, Eiji let go of Lieselote who was hugging him. Although the girl's body was nice to hug, he was a man who had gone through many flower fields, various flowers he had planted and watered with his own homemade fertilizer, in short he was a veteran.
Unless he was pretending and didn't want to get uptight over something he thought was trivial, his self-control to resist worldly desires was on the same level as a Buddha.
Do you believe it?
"Eiji, what are you..." Arata whose shoulder was suddenly tapped glanced at the boy standing beside him in confusion.
Trinity Seven who was a little surprised by the level Hijiri had reached also looked at Eiji with the same gaze.
Hijiri narrowed her eyes. For some reason when the boy called Eiji stepped forward, she felt a sense of danger.
But...! She had Chaotic Rune magic as the magic branch of her three themes that made her able to detect any magic activity.
So she could sense the magic that others had and measure its level. But from Eiji, she couldn't sense any magic activity that tried to intimidate her.
Even so, her mage instincts that had been trained for years detected a great danger.
This feeling confused Hijiri, she had never even felt this kind of thing from her master, Master Liber who had now disappeared somewhere.
"Arata and the rest of you retreat. Except for Liese who has absorbed a small amount of my magic which makes her magic campacity superior, but she will also find it difficult to win against her. This girl is stronger than all of you."
"No! Eiji, my magic power and Magic King Element have also increased since the incident so now I-" Arata did not want to give up, he was more confident to fight Hijiri because he did not run out of magic like in the original work.
Astral Trinity even gave him the Magic King Element that he kept for himself.
"Arata, you can't control all that power properly yet, right? Besides, there's a difference in magic skills between the two of you."
Arata felt that what Eiji said was true, but he wanted to argue.
Even so Eiji immediately added. "Leave it to me, I'll help you to get your cousin back."
[Host, what are you playing?]
Miss System couldn't believe what she was hearing, even the Trinity Seven who were slightly offended at being called weaker than Hijiri even though they knew it seemed to be true, doubted Eiji's words.
Not because they were unsure of the man's power. But just because of what he said!
Somehow even though they didn't know Eiji as far as the other heroines, they felt what the man said was somewhat wrong.
Only Radix and the other two gremoire had no comments.
However, Arata was the one who believed what Eiji said the most and was again moved. Why was Eiji so good to him? He wasn't sure but...
Arata reluctantly nodded. "Please don't be too hard on Hijiri."
"Don't worry, I know she's not a really evil girl."
"Thank you."
Arata and Eiji looked friendly. Anyone who couldn't hear the inner voice so far would definitely never think it was a strange scene.
After all, the former was the protagonist and the latter was a man who had given many green hats to other protagonists.
Still, Arata said that as if he was sure Hijiri would be defeated by Eiji.
Although Hijiri had deep feelings for Arata, she was a little displeased and looked at Eiji coldly.
"You're not Trinity Seven or any other famous mage I know. Although I would love to get back together with Arata, I don't want to do it this way." Hijiri said indifferently, the smile on her face gone.
Eiji who was already standing opposite the girl said, "Oh so you want to get back together with Arata in what way? You want to kill him and resurrect him after your other plans succeed?"
"H-How do you know?" Hijiri who had always been calm suddenly looked surprised after hearing what Eiji said which meant it was true. Ignoring Arata and the other astonished girls, she looked at Ilia. "Was it Ilia who told you?"
Ilia wanted to argue, she didn't even though earlier she had almost told most of Hijiri's plan for the sake of her life.
But just then Hijiri came and interrupted her words.
Eiji quickly said, "No, it wasn't Ilia who told me your big plan. I know it myself. Or rather I know a lot about you, Hijiri."
[For example about how you blamed the world for making Arata a Magic King who repeatedly destroyed the world in the future. And not just once. Inside the Empty World, somehow the dying Hijiri could see countless futures of the world that Arata destroyed with the Trinity Seven.]
!!!
The other heroines felt like they were listening to a radio that told a story about the heroine.
Those who had nothing to do with it were usually quietly listening as a form of entertainment.
Only the girls who had something to do with what Eiji said like all the Trinity Seven were surprised.
What? In the future they destroyed the world many times with Arata? No way!
Lilith, Mira, Akio, Lieselote, Arin, Yui and Levi who heard this did not believe it. After all, they knew each of their personalities. Especially Mira who has a personality like an unreasonable hero, she would not want to be invited to destroy the world.
But that's what Eiji said based on the knowledge of the original work. So it might be true?
[Of course this is only the future seen by Hijiri in the empty World and also a woman named Master Liber who likes to predict the future. What happened in those future visions really happened, but it only happened in countless other timelines and the main timeline is an exception.]
The heroines: ???
[In short, it's a future created by the author to make all the readers feel tense. This is a common strategy that authors usually use to keep readers from dropping their books halfway through because they are curious about what happens next.]
[After all, the protagonist in this book and world is Arata. Protagonists always make the impossible possible. So the things about Arata destroying the world will most likely not happen. As far as I know, the only person who wants to destroy the entire world in the Trinity Seven universe is boss Aryan.]
[Hijiri is pathetic, she's actually a victim who was confused by the author. Instead of trying to stop Arata from becoming the evil Magic King, she would rather do something crazy like killing him first before destroying the world. No, it's actually not the world that Hijiri wants to destroy. But the Magic King System in the Trinity Seven world that almost broke the fourth wall because it was created by the author.]
[Hahaha! Now I realize it. Isn't this girl, Hijiri rather cute? She's very cute. Even boss Aryan can't do what she wants to do. At most she can destroy this universe by merging it into herself. This will happen if Arata fails in the original work and everyone dies.]
Is it just them or is this book called Trinity Seven a bit dark?
Now that Eiji said it. Hijiri did a funny thing because she seemed to want to go against her own author.
This was the first time they heard of a heroine as crazy as Hijiri.
Such complicated things even happened on a scale that made people speechless.
By the way Eiji kept calling the villain boss in a strange way. Although many of them knew the man often thought of strange things, he didn't seem to have any hatred for the target of his mission, boss Aryan.
Wait that woman's name is... Who? Oh right. That's the Goddess of Darkness, Aryan.
"Black Azazel!"
At this moment, everyone except Eiji didn't expect Hijiri to suddenly charge straight out. With a cold face and a somewhat crazed look, she unleashed a blast of black lightning from the black magic circle in her hand.
That level of attack and spell was enough to kill most of the mages and weaken the Arbitrator.
Lilith, Mira, Lieselote and the others who had reacted late due to listening to Eiji's inner voice panicked.
The attack flew towards Eiji and almost reached him!
Even so, Eiji was very calm. He could have let the "Silentium Eden" that had hitherto enveloped him block the attack.
But...
He extended his right hand to the side and instantly Judecca appeared in his hand.
Even before Judecca asked because the magic sword seemed to need a little time to activate her magic.
"Crazy girl, you need to be taught a lesson for not listening to what others say— Full Counter."
Eiji said while swinging Judecca. When the black lightning blast hit Judecca's jagged blade. With a *Ting!* sound that was very very beautiful to everyone's ears.
!!!!!!
Instead of blowing up Eiji. Black Azazel flew back towards Hijiri with its size, speed, and offensive power doubled.
Hijiri widened her eyes, she was extremely surprised and frantically combined the magic barriers of her three themes to block the attack.
**Boom!!**
The explosion of black lightning was like a train hundreds of meters long that pushed Hijiri's small figure into the many ruins behind her.
The girl continued to be pushed until she crashed into the academy's fence and spewed out a mouthful of blood with the magic barrier shattered into pieces on the spot.
When the flying dust had almost disappeared, sparks of lightning still sparked in the straight landscape created by Eiji's full counter.
The sight left the people watching speechless.
"....." Everyone.
Is it over? Just with that?
Arata looked at Hijiri who was kneeling while holding her chest in the distance anxiously before looking at Eiji who had a cool-looking sword in his hand with a question mark.
He remembered that someone promised him not to be too hard on his cousin. But where did that promise go?
Although Arata understood this was also Hijiri's fault for not having martial arts ethics that made her attack Eiji suddenly.
But this might be natural? After all, they were enemies from the start.
At this moment, Eiji leaned Judecca on his shoulder and looked at Hijiri in the distance amusedly.
"I'm actually a person who doesn't like to hurt pretty girls. But... sometimes I'm a supporter of gender equality."
