Chapter 162: Meeting Irina and Xenovia again
Hokkaido Island is the second largest island in Japan, located in the northernmost part of the country. Hokkaido is actually a prefecture with the capital city being Sapporo which is also the 4th largest city in Japan.
The island has lower temperatures than any other island in Japan. In winter, Hokkaido will be minus seven degrees Celsius and in summer it will be no more than 25 degrees Celsius.
However, right now it happens to be winter.
So the temperature on the island was so cold that two girls who normally wear tight clothes covered their bodies with thick white robes.
The two were Irina and Xenovia.
They were grilling fish beside the river.
Besides losing their cell phones, they also lost their wallets two days ago. Irina handed a grilled fish skewer to Xenovia, the blue-haired girl took the grilled fish with a frown.
Since yesterday, they had only eaten fish that they caught from the river. Xenovia was so bored eating fish, she missed the hamburgers and fried chicken at KFC/McDonald.
"Xenovia, stop complaining. Who made us lose our wallets yesterday." Irina reprimanded the blue-haired girl.
"Irina, didn't I tell you it wasn't me? On the contrary, it was you, right? I never hold a purse, that thing interferes with my combat effectiveness, you're the one who always carries it for me." Xenovia was not to be outdone, she was clearly innocent.
"Hey! I do have your wallet in my pocket too, but yesterday when we stayed at the hotel. I put our wallets in the drawer, I told you to take care of them while I went to take a quick shower."
Irina looked at the blue-haired girl dissatisfiedly. "But when I came back to the room the wallets were gone because you didn't guard them properly."
Xenovia turned her gaze to the river, her face expressionless and she said: "I was sleeping at the time, so I didn't know."
"Huh!" Irina snorted. "You were the only one in the room at the time, how did you not know someone stole it."
Xenovia turned her head, she looked at her brown-haired friend and said: "No, even if I was sleeping. I will definitely wake up if someone sneaks into our room."
"Then our wallet just disappeared?"
"Yes."
"What about our cell phone?"
"I feel that it too has suddenly disappeared from my pocket. Irina, just admit that the phenomenon of missing items has nothing to do with me!" Xenovia said that because she was also too lazy to think about this matter anymore. She just couldn't wait to get back to her master's house, eat some delicious food, and ask for a reward for completing her mission.
"...." Irina knew there was no point in continuing to argue about the issue of their belongings often mysteriously disappearing.
"By the way when will Eiji-sama come to pick us up?" Despite being very hungry, Xenovia had absolutely no appetite for eating the grilled fish in her hand.
Irina didn't eat her fish either, she was about to say something, but a familiar voice made them look back.
"Little late. Of all places, why are you guys even here?"
Kuoh city and Hokkaido island were thousands of kilometers apart. Eiji who could use teleportation magic to get here had no problem with that. And actually, shouldn't Irina and Xenovia also be able to use teleportation magic?
"Eiji-sama!" The two cute former exorcists threw away the fish in their hands and rushed to hug him from both sides.
Xenovia's stomach already happened to rattle at that moment which made Irina and Eiji look at her.
"...."
If it was just Irina, Xenovia wouldn't be embarrassed. But now that there was Eiji, she was naturally embarrassed to be stared at by the other party when her stomach rumbled so loudly.
Eiji smiled. "Forget it. Do you guys want to eat first?"
It was not Irina who answered, but Xenovia who did.
"Yes!!!"
..
Back again to the city of Kuoh.
Eiji took Irina and Xenovia to a restaurant.
Looking at the two beautiful girls, especially the blue-haired girl who ate heartily without worrying about her own gender.
Eiji decided to chat with the brown-haired girl who could at least still be talked to. Unlike Xenovia, Irina only ordered her food in moderation, she had already finished eating and was telling how they got lost and how they didn't even use teleportation magic to get back.
"So that's it." Eiji nodded, he drank his lemon juice and said: "It's not that you guys don't want to use teleportation magic to go back, but you're not good at it."
"Why you two are in Hokkaido is also because you teleported wrong, right?"
"Un, Eiji-sama. Forget about Xenovia who is better at using her muscles than her brain." Xenovia who was eating almost choked at what Irina said, the brown-haired girl continued. "But even I... I'm not very good at using teleportation magic."
[You guys aren't good at using teleportation magic? Isn't that magic very easy to use?]
So easy? Irina's lips twitched. If the one who said that to her was someone else, she wanted to hit that person's head with the hilt of her sword. Unfortunately that person was Eiji, she dared not do that to her master. Besides master, Eiji was also practically her man after doing those things to her.
Irina suddenly remembered when they first started dating and playing games to where they also met Issei. The latter she was too lazy to remember, she only remembered the time when she and Eiji had sex which made her face red.
"Ahem!" Eiji pretended to cough, he was actually happy to see the way Irina looked at him. It was definitely not just the gaze of a servant on her master. There was also an eager and shy love in it.
"Eiji-sama, may I order two more fried ducks and drinks?" Xenovia had an EQ that could be considered low, she could not read the ambiguous atmosphere between the two people.
Irina wanted to hit her best friend on the head, but she looked at Eiji and said: "Sorry Eiji-sama, Xenovia is..."
"It's okay. You and Xenovia have already completed the mission I gave you. Eat as much as you want, after that you can also ask me for any rewards later." Eiji said generously, now he looked like a very good boss to his subordinates.
Irina and Xenovia felt that their decision to leave the Church was the right choice. After losing the God they worshipped, they now regarded Eiji as their God. But unlike before, seeing a very handsome and kind God in front of them, there was also an immoral desire to do this and that with their God.
Xenovia had already decided what reward she would ask Eiji for. But that was later now she just wanted to eat as much as she could until she was full.
Irina was excited, she also thought of something in her mind when Eiji talked about rewards.
Talking about missions. People don't know, what is meant by the mission that Eiji gave Irina and Xenovia is actually a mission to hunt down and exterminate all Lost Souls in Japan.
Eiji had been too lazy to solve the franchise's problems all this time, but that didn't mean he had forgotten the act of World Will that had released all the Lost Souls from Hell to Earth. So to solve the problem, he ordered all his subordinates in Shadow Garden including Irina and Xenovia to hunt down all those creatures. With Varvatos' spell called "Purification" that can purify annihilate the Lost Souls that roam and possess the bodies of other heroines out there. All Shadow Garden members who have learned that magic from him can easily exterminate every Lost Soul.
However, like Irina and Xenovia who had actually been traveling around Japan for over a month to exterminate the Lost Soul. Other Shadow Garden members such as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta and Eta were also given the same mission. It's just that instead of Japan, they scattered to other countries. After all, it was not only Japan that was invaded by Lost Soul, other countries on earth also experienced the same thing.
The reason Eiji did this was also not because he cared about the wandering Lost Soul, what he cared about was actually the heroines out there who might have been possessed by the Lost Soul! It's okay if he is there like when he helped Haruna to get the creature out of her body so that she doesn't continue to be depressed and commit suicide. After all, Lost Soul had such effects if left for too long, so Eiji sent his beautiful underlings to exterminate the creatures for him.
The girls in Shadow Garden happened to seem eager to undertake this mission, many of them feeling like they were doing the job of purifying the world which was really like a teenager with Chuunibyo.
They misunderstood his true intentions, Irina and Xenovia too. But whatever, Eiji was fine being misunderstood like that by his beautiful subordinates.
"Thank you Eiji-sama! You are very kind. I want to carry your child!"
"Xenovia, what are you saying?!"
Xenovia looked at the brown-haired girl fearlessly and naturally said. "I'm just saying thank you and saying what reward I want from Eiji-sama."
"Even so asking for a child is too..." Even Irina who had been eaten by Eiji, she didn't have the idea of having children yet.
However, thinking of the little children who had faces and hair similar to her and Eiji. Irina felt that Xenovia's idea was not bad, she looked at Eiji wondering if she could ask for the same thing as the blue-haired girl.
"...." Eiji felt his throat was a bit dry. He finished his lemon juice first before saying to Xenovia.
"Sure."
"Is it really okay?! Then I want to too!" Irina looked at Eiji with embarrassment, Xenovia on the other hand was excited. She also actually didn't expect Eiji to agree.
"But that's in the future, okay? You know my fiancée hasn't even had a child yet. So let's wait a few more years. For now, Xenovia."
"Why don't you become one of my women too like Irina?" Eiji smiled, that smile was so fatal that a girl with low EQ like Xenovia also couldn't help blushing and her heart was beating like there was a deer running around in it.
Even so, Xenovia realized there was something she just knew. She looked at her best friend, Irina and then Eiji with a surprised look.
"I agree with that. But since when did Irina and Eiji-sama get together?"
No idea when, but from Eiji's words she understood that her best friend, secretly she had actually preceded her!
"Have you guys had sex yet?" Xenovia looked at Irina with envy.
"Xenovia!" Irina whose face was already very red couldn't stand it anymore, she picked up the hamburger on the table and immediately crammed the food into Xenovia's mouth.
The blue-haired girl could no longer say anything, she just tried to chew the hamburger in her mouth.
Seeing the two tomboy girls arguing, Eiji looked at them with a funny look.
[By the way I remembered there was a plot today. This afternoon, the protagonist Tomoya will do something that he never even did in the original work. I wonder how Utaha, Eriri, and that ninja girl will react. Um... What's her name? Kato Megumi if I'm not mistaken.]
When Eiji said that in his inner voice, there was no doubt that the boy would definitely be involved in it. If not involved, he would definitely be watching the things that the protagonist would do.
Actually not only Eiji, but even the heroines became curious.
Even so, Irina didn't really care about the protagonist Tomoya and the heroines mentioned. While pressing the hamburger into Xenovia's mouth, she remembered something and said to Eiji.
"Eiji-sama, I just remembered when we went on the mission to hunt down the lost soul. We met several times with the purple-haired girl who was also hunting lost souls at that time. When Xenovia and I happened to mention your name, the girl suddenly reacted and asked if we knew you."
"Purple-haired girl? What's her name?" Eiji had an interested expression on his face.
Irina tried to remember something again and said: "Her name is Haqua du lot.... Ugh I forgot her full name. It's too long. What is certain is that she is called Haqua. She said she was a member of the Runaway Spirit Squad who had the task of capturing lost souls who escaped from hell."
..
The afternoon after the school dismissal bell rang.
A brown bob-haired girl with a face that could be considered pretty walked with a school bag in her hand. Her expression looked very flat, no one paid any attention to her as if people were unaware of her presence.
She was like a ninja who was good at hiding her presence even though she didn't mean to hide her presence from others at all.
Her name was Kato Megumi, commonly called Megumi or Holy Girl by her classmates. The latter was because her classmates found her to be a gentle and kind girl, innocent, and helpful to others even though others often forgot her presence.
She walked towards the auditorium where the social group she belonged to, or so she called it. She was one of the members of Blessing Software, she didn't know if she should be proud or not because in that group she only served as... To be honest even though Tomoya said she was the model heroine in the visual novel she was making, there she was only often doing auxiliary tasks such as helping with photocopying, copying data, buying drinks or food and so on for the people in the group.
Of course, Tomoya and the others didn't force her to do that. It was just that being in that group without doing anything made her feel useless. So she tried to help the people in the same as best she could which made Tomoya often call her "Holy Girl".
That otaku stuff, Megumi didn't really understand.
She just did what she could to help others and let her life feel more meaningful...
She rarely got angry, never hated others, even Eiji's inner voice that recently sounded mocking in her ears. She wasn't angry or upset at all.
Megumi was a very patient girl.
She also didn't testify much about the things she heard from the inner voices of Eiji, Protagonist, and even Tomoya who turned out to be a protagonist.
"It's been more than 10 minutes. Why is Tomoya taking so long?" Eriri didn't look at anyone while saying that, but she seemed to be asking Utaha Senpai.
Utaha Senpai didn't look at Eriri either, she was just sitting while typing on her laptop. Even so, Megumi didn't know why these two girls seemed to fight with each other so easily.
For example now...
"Who's talking? Is there someone? Oh..." Utaha Senpai looked at Eriri who was sitting not far beside her as if she had just seen her. "Sawamura-san, are you here?"
"I was already here before you came! How could you not see me when you came in? Kasumigaoka Utaha, your eyesight is so bad!" Eriri smiled mockingly and bared her baby tiger teeth, she stared at Utaha Senpai fiercely.
"Calling someone's eyesight bad... Sorry, Sawamura-san. But you're too small, so I can't see it."
Utaha Senpai smiled, but her gaze looked mocking as she stared at Eriri's chest.
Eriri seemed to know what Utaha Senpai meant, she pointed at her angrily. "You! Kasumigaoka Utaha, what do you mean small? You fat cow!"
"What do you think? Bad milk."
"Bastard..."
"A girl should never say harsh words. However, bad milk may be an exception."
"Kasumigaoka Utaha!"
"Yes, Sawamura-san?"
See? These two girls were suddenly arguing.
Megumi stood between the two of them with her bag in her hand and said: "Maybe Aki-kun was picking something up somewhere first. That's why he's late."
She only said that to answer Eriri's earlier question.
But Utaha Senpai and Eriri were so surprised that they almost jumped out of their seats when they heard her voice.
"Megumi? Since when have you been here?" Eriri asked in surprise.
"I entered not long after Utaha Senpai."
"As expected of a girl called a ninja by that guy. Megumi, where did you learn such abilities?" Utaha was surprised, but she quickly smiled kindly at her.
Megumi looked at the two girls flatly. She wasn't upset, okay? Well... Maybe a little.
She was used to it, things like this actually happened often.
People were often surprised when they realized where she was after she said something.
