Chapter 86: Hajime get cucked again, while Kaori is really cunning
It has been six months since one of the classrooms full of students was transported to another world and caused the whole world to uproar because of that. During that time, they haven't found any clue about how the students disappeared and where they are right now. The students came from a school named Namihazu, and the school became famous so fast. Mass media confront them with questions that cannot be answered, but the hype quickly dies when no progress about the missing students has been made.
But suddenly they are shocked that the missing students and their only teacher came back with different attires. They wear something like robes, armours, and anything resembling something from cosplay. They thought that all of the students came back without missing any person, but they noticed that some were not included in the group.
Some of the parents of that missing students aren't back with the group's mourning and cries. They even begged the remaining students about that, but none can answer it since they don't know why not everyone has returned safely. But they don't dare to reveal the one who sends them back, since it's a promise between them and the one who gets them to their home, even someone like Nagumo Hajime cannot say anything out of his mouth about their benefactor.
And right now, it's already the time for the students and former members of the Hero's party to come home after studying for a day or six and half hours in school. Many students swarm the school's gate, including two people who seem a young couple. One is a young man with short white hair and red eyes, while the other is a young woman with waist-length black hair that is tied back in a half ponytail by a dark-coloured bow with big bangs hanging on the right side while small bangs are hanging on the left side and brown eyes.
The young man let out a small sigh while the young woman just chuckles at him.
"Damn… why would we go to school again, anyway? This thing is useless since we are already good enough to graduate and have a real job."
"That won't do, Hajime-kun. Despite that, we must finish high school as a student. But I still wonder why everyone asides from me don't possess their abilities or magic anymore. You didn't have it anymore, right?"
Hajime nodded at her girlfriend with a frown on his face. He already told her about his deal with Eleonora and still dislikes that. The price for that is very high and frustrates him every time he remembers it. Although his benefactor gave him a small gift, like letting him retain his abilities only of the basic, it still frustrated him since his hard work became vain.
Surviving alone in a place called hell for everyone with only the so-called common and trash ability and not even useful in combat. But turned out to be very useful and made him powerful because of his creativity, as long as the user can be creative and has the materials to support it.
'At least with this ability, even though it's degraded to basic, I can make a living as long as I can have the necessary materials. I will need a lot of time to grind my [Synergist] again to max level, though.'
Indeed. All Hajime has in another world is taken by his benefactor as part of the payment. It's included as the list of fees in his deal with someone he called devil herself because she took 90% of what he has in his possession.
Even his signature guns are also included. "Donner" & "Schlag" - Hajime's primary weapons. A pair of techno-magical revolvers with a total length of 35 cm each. Rotating style magazine with 6 shots. Made from a composite alloy of taur ore, shtar ore, and azanthium ore of the highest quality found in the Orcus Labyrinth. He was trying to recreate that weapon here, but without the suitable materials, all he got was only an imitation like a toy since he couldn't get the material needed for the bullet.
The only firearms that were allowed in Japan were shotguns and air rifles. The gun he wants is like "Donner" and "Schlag.". He also needs to have the legal license to wield one, so Hajime can't do anything he wants like in Tortus; he was limited in his original world, after all.
On the other hand, his girlfriend still retains her abilities. Unlike him, she still has magic and anything in another world. The white-haired young man couldn't understand why only her that is like that. It really confuses him so much.
"But the weird thing is why only you still hold the abilities you got from that world. Our classmates and even me didn't have it. Well, mine was because of the deal I made with her, but why others? Is it her doing?"
"Geez, Hajime-kun. Do not prejudice Eleonora-san like that. She is not that kind of person as far as I knew. Although you and she do not have a good relationship, don't let yourself think it like that. Eleonora-san is kind enough to send us back to our home after all."
"Your kind nature is sometimes worrying, Kaori. She is a dangerous woman for sure. Not only does she has the looks, but also wealth and powers to the boot. That Pendragon is the perfect definition of Mary Sue or someone who has perfect life without overcoming any hardship in her whole life."
Kaori put her finger on her right cheeks and pondered for a bit. A smile then appears on her lips.
"Maybe. But you really should stop watching anime, Hajime-kun. Or at least control yourself to not spend most of your free time with it. We are not in some kind of fictional story after all, and Eleonora-san is without a doubt a good person based on my judgment."
"Still can't help it since my first impression about her was that bad. Most of the riches people are bad and corrupt. That's what I get even in another world. It's also not different in here."
Seeing her boyfriend like this makes the black-haired beauty worried about his mental attitude. She doesn't want Hajime to go crazy and be filled with negativity on his mind. Kaori also doesn't want her new crush, Eleonora Pendragon, to be seen as bad by her boyfriend.
"As I was expected… you watch too much anime, Hajime-kun. Not all rich people are like that. Although we were saw something like that back in another world, we can't be sure to quickly judge people like that if they don't have any bad intentions. Out of our classmate, only you who think it like that, you know."
"That was because they were naïve, and I am not. Honestly, why do we talk about that woman anyway."
Hajime shook his head in annoyance when Eleonora's name was mentioned in their conversation. Even though she helped him, the white-haired young man still dislikes Eleonora also included his so-called classmate with him and returned to their world.
She also goes so far as like steal Yue from him. But it's also his fault that he cannot do anything against that young girl who has an adult appearance and is superior in every aspect. She outclasses him, and Hajime felt powerless, even more, when she took all of his abilities and things he has collected so far in his adventure to find the way for him to return to his world.
Seeing her boyfriend, Kaori just shook her head inwardly and began thinking about it.
'Why did I fall in love with him, anyway? Hajime-kun's personality becomes worse after our reunion. He became brute, rough, cursing a lot, and everything that didn't like my ideal man. I'm worried about our future if he keeps this attitude and personality.'
While Kaori was thinking of that, her brown eyes noticed someone familiar. Four people were standing in front of the school's gate, one of them was her best friend and classmate who was with her when transported to another world that day. Tears suddenly shed from her eyes at someone she knew waving at her with a smile.
Nagumo Hajime's expression changed completely. He sent a sharp glare full of hate at another person and growled in annoyance. The person he glared at just smiled without being scared or flinched at him since it didn't look scary at all from that person's view.
"Shizuku-chan!"
"Hey Kaori, how are you?"
Without answering, Kaori, who is crying, runs towards Shizuku and gives her a loving hug since she misses her best friend in high school. Shizuku then hugs her back, strokes Kaori's head with a longing smile, and lets the black-haired young woman cry all she wants in her embrace.
"I… I miss you so much! Everyone in class also misses you, even your parents and mine."
Shizuku just chuckles at that and says something to her with sorry.
"Sorry about that, Kaori. I didn't immediately get home since I followed Eleonora for a while and finished the business in that world. I just came home today anyway and decided to visit the school."
After she finished crying and emptied her tears bank, Kaori got her head off Shizuku's chest and shook her head while adorning her usual beautiful smile and looking at her best friend. She was showing a relieved expression on her face.
"It's not your fault, and you better explain to me about it later."
Shizuku then let her hug from Kaori and nodded at the black-haired beauty. She then looks at Hajime, who looks at Eleonora with a sharp glare as if he wants to kill the young woman with just that glare. Unfortunately, he can't do that, and if he can, Eleonora can easily repel it or even reflect that.
"And Nagumo, long time no see. Seems like you weren't changed, and it seems you with Kaori are a couple."
"Same to you, Yaegashi, and why you with her? What does she want in this world?"
"That was rude, you know, and she just wants to visit my family. It's important business that wasn't your concern, Nagumo. It's family matters."
This caused Hajime's eyebrows to rise in confusion as well suspicion. He ignored the first sentence of Shizuku and just asked with curiosity within him.
"If it family matters, why was she included? Surely it's only between your family and outsider weren't allowed, right? That's weird if you ask me."
Shizuku sighs and turns her head to Eleonora, who nods at her as if approving something. The black-haired swordswoman understands that and gives Hajime the answer he wants, which may shock him and Kaori after hearing it.
"She and I are engaged. We planned to get married when she was turned sixteen."
Suddenly, Hajime and Kaori were shocked when hearing that from Shizuku, who said it without hesitation or embarrassment, which is such improvement on her. Eleonora was surprised at Shizuku, who didn't sugarcoat it or anything, but nonetheless, she was also proud of her since that means she didn't deny their relationship.
With widened eyes, Kaori then asked in disbelief.
"R-Really?! But Shizuku-chan… you are still young! No, both you and Eleonora-san are still too young to get married! You should focus on school and all. There are many things that we can still do rather than get quickly married."
"I know that, but I already decided it. Also, it's not like marriage is the end of life. Even if we were married, I would continue enjoying things and not stop that. Isn't that right, Eleonora?"
Eleonora nodded at Shizuku and said this to her.
"That's right. Although I am okay if you do not rush it and get married whenever you want. I don't want to force you, after all."
"Indeed. I'm not rushing it, and that has been what I want since then. My dream is to become a bride and want to be a housewife. It may sound simple and not that extraordinary, but it's something I dream of."
Hearing this, Kaori simply nodded since she understands that while leaving Hajime in confusion, he thinks that someone well-versed at swordsmanship as Shizuku would choose to become something like the strongest swordswoman in the world.
Thus Hajime spoke of his mind.
"Why would you choose to be a bride? Aren't you good at swordsmanship?"
Shizuku felt offended at this, and she threw a sharp glare at the white-haired young man. His girlfriend gasped while Eleonora sighed and shook her head with Sakura and Keine. The young bluish-haired woman felt amazed at Hajime's insensitive to something like this.
"Hajime-kun! Don't say that."
"What? Did I somehow wrong? I mean, she is even better than Kouki or even a knight like Meld, right? Added up to her background as someone from Yaegashi dojo, then it will be wrong if she chooses to be something other than swordswoman."
"It's something up to her, not decided by her family, Hajime-kun. She can choose to be whatever she wants rather than her family."
"But logically and realistically speaking, it's the most fits choice for her. Yaegashi can become successful easily if she chooses that path rather than anything. I mean, like won many swordsmanship's tournaments and all."
He said that logically and what he thinks is fits someone like Shizuku. That made Kaori upset at her boyfriend and Shizuku, who raised her hand to Hajime and gave him a loud slap. The white-haired young man was shocked by that and felt the pain, he was also hurt when he received that, but the young man didn't realize it was due to the differences in their strength. Because Shizuku still has the abilities and status she spent in Tortus while Hajime doesn't.
With a bit of hatred in her eyes that looked so obvious, Shizuku tried to not show it and calm herself as she said something to the gun otaku.
"Nagumo-kun, I appreciate your opinion, but I don't even want to be a swordswoman in the first place. So, I think it's better if you… not say that again."
And then Eleonora came from behind Shizuku, touched the swordswoman's shoulders with her hands while she smiled at Hajime, the former lovers of Yue or Aletia that was being stolen by the young bluish-haired woman. Honestly, at this point, Eleonora didn't care that much about someone named Nagumo Hajime because he hated her because of something silly.
"Please calm down, Shizuku, and for you, Hajime-san… please mind your words. What you have said is a sensitive topic to her, after all, and Kaori-san as her best friend didn't want to bring it up without consideration or permission, right?"
Kaori nods her head at Eleonora since she agrees with that.
"Of course, I won't! That's why Hajime-kun, please be considerate next time."
Being scolded by another person would make Hajime ignore them, but when his girlfriend does that to him, the white-haired young man has no choice but to obey her. He can't do anything to refute that, and Hajime knows it will end up bad for him if he dares.
Although he changed from his past self, it didn't change that he is weak and scared of girls. Women are mysterious to him since many men don't know what's on their minds because they do unpredictable things. They also quickly change their moods whenever they want, it's usually doesn't last long.
Hajime flinched and felt scared of Kaori, who was scolding him like that, especially with the expression she wore. He just saw Eleonora, who hold her laughs along with Shizuku, Sakura, and Keine, seeing the rough and badass-looking guy like Hajime becomes like that. That made Hajime irritated and his annoyance to Eleonora slightly increased.
Hajime just let out a small sigh and nodded meekly at Kaori.
"Okay, Kaori. I won't and will be considerate next time. Also, sorry about that, Yaegashi, for being insensitive and… asshole, I think."
He said that while rubbing his neck, he feels a bit embarrassed, causing Shizuku to chuckle while putting on her smile and seeing the apologetic otaku right now being scolded by his girlfriend and can't refute that.
"Apology accepted. I am okay as long as you won't do anything like that. Anyway, how about we go home together? It has been a while since we go home together, right, Kaori?"
Kaori blinked and nodded at the black-haired swordswoman. A longing smile shows on her lips while she has a sad-looking face. She is saddened that Kouki won't be together again since she hasn't found any clues about him who aren't returned with her and others.
"Mhm. You're right, Shizuku-chan. I don't know why Kouki-kun didn't come with us, but I think something happened before I went to that portal. Ah, of course, I'm not saying it's your fault, Eleonora-san! I'm not going to blame you about that."
While Kaori was saying that, it made Hajime flinched since he is why Kouki isn't with them. It was a part of his deal with Eleonora, and he was killed Hayama and his gang along with Kouki by Hajime. Eleonora only gave him a bit of support. She didn't directly kill them.
The young bluish-haired girl just let out a slight cough, causing Eleonora to gain their attention. Even Hajime glared sharply at her since he had known of her intention. The young bluenette did that on purpose, and she doesn't even feel sorry or anything.
Everyone except Hajime and Eleonora was confused about that. But then Sakura and Keine noticed that and made the violet-haired woman with glasses shake her head and sigh because of her lovers' naughty behaviour while the blonde-haired doctor only giggles.
"Thank you for that, Kaori-san. I'm quite sad that something bad has happened to Kouki-san since he seems like a person who cares for his friends and others well-being."
"Yes. He is kind to everyone and has the utmost sense of justice, but sometimes Kouki-kun went too far when doing that."
Even Shizuku agreed with Kaori's statement while the girlfriend of Hajime said that and looked down with sadness flashed on her face. Hajime just clicked his tongue at the mention of Kouki as he was described like that by his girlfriend.
The mood suddenly turned sad again and made Sakura, who watched this entire time take the initiative and change it by bringing something to them.
"I don't mean to be rude, but shall we go home? The school is already over, right? I'm afraid if we stay here for longer, then we will have to back in the evening and may miss our train."
That made them snapback, and Kaori smiled sheepishly along with Shizuku.
"Ah, that's right! Sorry for delaying it. Then, how about we go right now?"
"I'm fine with that."
Shizuku nodded along with Eleonora and Sakura also Keine. They nodded to each other while walking away from the school and went home together. In their way, Kaori and Shizuku talked a lot since they missed each other and were happy that they were reunited again. But the black-haired half ponytail girl speaks to Shizuku and talks to Eleonora, Sakura, and Keine while having this kind of thought when happily speaking with the young king of Heiligh Kingdom.
'Eleonora-san… I'm glad we met again and happily chatted with each other like this. I don't know that you and Shizuku-chan plan to get married when you're old enough.'
Yes. Kaori was happy when talking with Eleonora, and her feeling towards the young bluenette increased drastically; her love towards Eleonora grew stronger each time her eyes met Eleonora's blue eyes. And her love for Hajime seemed reduced by a significant amount since he is not the person she had expected despite the fact that they were currently dating each other.
Kaori constantly has her cheeks blushed at Eleonora, who is openly flirting with her, and Hajime has to step in to refrain from the worst thing happening to him again. He doesn't want her to steal his lovers again like before, which would make him a cuck man. He doesn't want to get cucked again by Eleonora, that had a perfect life since she was born.
Eleonora, who at first feels guilty that she stole someone's lovers to be hers, didn't feel that again and decided to believe it was not her fault since she remembered again that she has always been like that and nothing cannot stop her from it.
If Kaori feels the same way, she would definitely make Kaori hers. She doesn't care anymore if Hajime would hate her for the rest of his life.
"Here is it. We parted from here, I think."
As the bluenette says, Eleonora and the group have already reached the intersection towards their respective houses. Hajime, Kaori, and Shizuku—while the white-haired young man would have to go alone, Kaori and Shizuku go together since they were in the same way.
"See you then."
"Yes, Hajime-kun. See you tomorrow."
With that, Hajime bid farewell to them and walked alone towards his home while the girls went together. Kaori, who was waving to Hajime, turned her head to Eleonora and sent the young bluenette her beautiful smile that was rarely shown to Hajime.
"Eleonora-san, could I say something?"
This makes Eleonora curious and nods at Kaori.
"What is that, Kaori-san?"
"Could I be your lovers too?"
Shizuku, who heard that, went surprised at the sudden question Kaori asked Eleonora. The young bluenette could only giggle along with Sakura and Keine. Then Keine went to Eleonora and whispered something to her ears.
"I think it's clear that she surely loves you, Leo-chan. She even brave enough to ask that."
Eleonora was agreed with that. Kaori is brave and bold enough to ask something like that, and pretty cunning since she asked Eleonora after Hajime went away. Sakura then spoke when the young bluenette turned to her and gave her an approving nod.
"Yeah, I am okay with it. I mean, you are allowed to. Since your charm always makes people near you fall for you whenever they are single or taken. Even someone else wife has already been charmed by you."
"Sakura-san, it's not like that was Leo-chan's fault. She is indeed irresistible. Anyone would surely fall in love with her without a doubt, and her harem would always grow. But since she can love us equally and can be responsible too, it's okay to let her do that."
Sakura sighed and just had a defeated smile on her face.
"…Right. You can add that girl to your harem, Leo. Just promise me that you will make her happy."
"I've planned to do that, anyway. But thanks, Sakura-nee, Kei-nee."
Sakura and Keine simply nod and give Eleonora's cheeks kisses, causing the young bluenette to smile and look through Kaori, who seems to be waiting for the answer she is looking for. She was twirling her hair as she was nervous and became tensed up when she heard a small cough from Eleonora.
"Kaori-san. If you want to be my lovers, I happily accept you."
Kaori's face suddenly beamed as stars were seen in her eyes.
"R-Really, Eleonora-san…?"
"Yeah, I'm not lying, but then…."
Eleonora scratches her cheeks, and Kaori, who has seen that, already knows what she means.
"Don't worry about that, Eleonora-san. Hajime-kun, he… I don't know why he seems can't bring me happiness. He became different, not in a good way but another."
"Kaori…"
"I see… then, rest assured that I won't be like that. Maybe my personality will be different, but I assure you that I won't be like Hajime-san."
"Eleonora-san… yes! I am also happy to be your lovers."
Shizuku just let out small scoff at her best friend, who just now became Eleonora's lovers too.
"Honestly, you keep surprising me, Eleonora."
