Bab 409: Thanks to Basara
After Raphaeline was successfully persuaded to stay at his house, Eiji wanted to woo her or spend time with the women there. Especially Yasaka and Venelana, although not long ago he had exercised with Chisato and drank milk.
Eiji felt his throat was a bit dry. But he didn't and decided to go to school. Even though it was almost lunchtime which meant he was late, he still went to school.
This is what he should do as a good student.
[Put aside the good student who was late for school. Host, just say you went to school because you wanted to meet the beautiful Lilith and some other heroines.]
"Miss System, I remember... Don't I have a reward that hasn't been checked yet?"
Walking through the school gate, Eiji ignored what Miss System said as if he hadn't heard her and asked about his reward.
After all, what he had done yesterday up to this point should count as changing the plot.
There was also the female protagonist of the Junior High School DxD franchise. What happened in the occult research club room back then. Or rather Rias informed him that she had invited Avi to collaborate. This was a collaboration between the Occult Research Club and the Occult Sword Study Club.
Avi agreed and protagonist Zekka had no choice but to get involved with Rias' group.
In short, it was Rias who had changed the plot. However, Rias was his fiancée. Eiji felt this also counted as his achievement in changing the plot.
He should get two rewards!
Miss System regretted saying unnecessary things because it made her host remember his reward.
There was a click of the tongue inside Eiji's head before he heard Miss System's answer.
[Yes, you do have two rewards that haven't been checked yet.]
"Then check them now."
Miss System was silent for a moment. Eiji heard the sound of things falling inside his head.
Hmm... What is that woman doing? Don't tell me she was picking out the good stolen things in her inventory before she gave them to her host?
[Ahem! Logically taking things that didn't have an owner in a certain timeline before the canon can't be called stealing.]
Hearing this, Eiji was sure it wasn't much different. For example Judecca, she was taken from the Sky Library before falling into the hands of the protagonist like in the original work. He didn't know which timeline the protagonist of Trinity Seven was in now. But without Judecca who he accidentally found, Arata would definitely find it difficult to defeat the Demon King guarding the Sky Library.
Eiji didn't care about this of course, he just suddenly thought of it.
Just like the shameless Eiji, Miss System also pretended not to hear what her host thought about her.
[Ding! It was detected that the host had changed the plot in "The Testament of Sister New Devil" franchise.]
[Successfully changed the plot of "The Testament of Sister New Devil" by 92% by freeing the protagonist's mother, Raphaeline from the seal which was never done in the original work. Even so because I'm a generous system...]
Eiji: "...."
Is it good to make such an informal reward announcement?
Ah but it's not the first time. This is Miss System we're talking about.
She doesn't know how a professional system does its job.
[... Ding! Congratulations host, you get " One Set of Devil Fruit"!]
"One set? We said one set? Miss System, are you crazy?" Eiji asked in disbelief.
The Devil Fruit was obviously the same fruit as the one in One Piece.
But this time it wasn't just one. Miss System gave him a set?!
What was the concept of a set of devil fruit from the One Piece franchise?
Isn't that all of them?
Eiji stopped his footsteps and checked his inventory which now had many devil fruits of various types, colors, and abilities.
For example in easy to understand names. There was fire fruit, lava fruit, frozen fruit, lightning fruit, the same poison fruit he had eaten in the past, light fruit, cat fruit, pig fruit, sand fruit, dragon fruit, there was even Nika fruit which was the same as the protagonist of the original work and there were many others.
Damn, that's crazy!
This is... I suspect Miss System is sick? She probably miscalculated and put everything in at once.
[I told you I'm a generous system... Is it hard to believe? Don't call me crazy and sick!]
"O-Oh... Miss System, very generous indeed. By the way is there anything that makes you happy these days?"
Eiji still couldn't believe it, he wanted to know what was the reason Miss System who was usually stingy gave him such crazy rewards. Doesn't that mean she robbed all the devil fruit in the One Piece world just for him?
Eiji was moved... this woman who liked to pretend to be a system must have fallen in love with him.
[Host, you're narcissistic. It's just a reward for almost completing all the other franchise plots.]
"No need to lie, Miss System. Are you a tsundere?"
[You tsundere! I'm telling the truth...]
Miss System sounded furious.
But from Eiji's point of view, this was just Miss System's way of covering up her embarrassment.
Unmistakably, Miss System had probably liked him for a long time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have bound herself to him and pretended to be the system.
Eiji sighed, this was his fault for being so dense like the protagonist. Why did he only realize it now?
[Whatever... Oh I don't care anymore...]
Miss System's voice sounded tired. Who wouldn't be tired if they were in her position?
"Miss System, actually I too..." Eiji looked like he wanted to confess.
But Miss System interrupted him cruelly and heartlessly.
[Host, don't you want to check the next reward?]
The woman threatened as if she was ready to cancel his reward at any time.
Eiji had no choice but to stop joking around. Miss System was so shy...
"No, of course not. Miss System, continue."
Unlike usual where he called her casually, now Eiji called Miss System's name softly like he did to the women in his harem.
Miss System refrained from exploding and destroying a certain planet.
[Ding! It was detected that the host had changed the plot in the "Junior High School DxD" franchise.]
[Successfully changed the plot of "Junior High School DxD" by --- by making your fiancé, Rias Gremory invite the leader of the Occult Sword Study Club, Avi Amon to collaborate with her club and make the protagonist Zekka Miyamoto on her way to join her peerage.]
"Wait, what's with the "---" sign?"
This was the first time Eiji didn't see numbers in the progress of changing the plot.
Miss System was forced to delay the reward and explain to her host.
[The "---" sign is a sign that the franchise has not been completed.]
"Huh? Doesn't that mean..."
Honestly if it wasn't for some information about the Junior High School DxD franchise that Miss System transferred. Eiji didn't know the beautiful girl with a moody aura he met yesterday was the female protagonist.
The information was limited, Eiji himself didn't know how the ending of the franchise was.
Now he just realized it!
[The information about the plot and characters that I sent was only volume one of the novel. The franchise author himself hasn't finished the story yet].
"I remember the same was true for the Trinity Seven franchise..."
[The Junior High School story hasn't been written that much. It would take at least a few volumes for me to calculate the plot correctly.]
"And you're still giving me a reward for this? Miss System, admit it... You're in love with me. There's no need to be ashamed."
[I'm not...! Hey listen, I'm System. I'm not in love with my host!]
Miss System didn't expect that her host would use this issue to convince himself that she was in love with him.
This guy's narcissism was no worse than the protagonists.
She's... She's not in love with her host, okay?
She's just a generous system.
It has nothing to do with love.
She's not a tsundere either!
Eiji didn't know what Miss System was thinking. But even without that, he knew she was tsundere.
So he pretended to cough and said, "Miss System, continue."
[.....]
In the end it didn't take long for you to rethink your reward.
Miss System paused for a moment before continuing.
[Ding! Congratulations host, you get "Random Protagonist Plot Stealer Card ×1"]
"...?"
Eiji wanted to ask what kind of card this was. Of all Miss System's homemade rewards, this was the first time he had gotten a random protagonist plot stealer card.
From the name alone one would roughly know what the card's function was.
But instead of asking, Eiji immediately checked the card's description. The card was displayed like a tarot card with a picture of a blonde woman whose face was covered by a veil. The woman
held a light inside which contained a question mark and a background that resembled colorful glass.
"Miss System, is this woman you?"
[Host, please stop being so sharp. Sometimes you have to pretend to be stupid like the protagonist who doesn't know anything before the thing that's about to happen happens! And no, this is a random design I found on the internet.]
"Really?"
[That's right.]
Eiji had a faint smile on his face that irritated Miss System.
The man clearly didn't believe what she was saying.
Eiji continued, he read the description of the card and nodded. This card could apparently be used to steal random plots that a protagonist had in the original work.
For example if in the past he hadn't preceded the protagonist Issei to meet with Rias and seduced the woman with his power to have her ask for his help to break off her engagement with Riser and if Issei wasn't a regressor.
If he doesn't do that. Rias would accidentally see Issei who was walking to his class from the window of the old school building.
Rias would be attracted by the dragon aura emitted by Issei because the boy had a Sacred Gear inside his body which turned out to be one of Longinus, the Boosted Gear that held the soul of the Red Dragon Emperor.
From then on, Rias had the idea to recruit Issei into her peerage and coincidentally Raynare also found and targeted the Sacred Gear inside Issei's body making it easier for Rias when the boy was killed and she could resurrect him as a reincarnated devil serving her.
With the card he just got, Eiji could exchange the things that might happen to Issei in that plot with her. Of course if it was him, Eiji didn't let himself be killed by Raynare's spear of light.
"Interesting. I suddenly had an idea of which franchise to use this card in. But I can't choose the plot, right?"
[Yes it's random, host.]
Just like the rewards she always gave, this card also had a random ability. Eiji wanted to complain but at this moment a familiar voice called out to him.
"Eiji, why are you coming from the direction of the gate... You just came to school?"
It was a brown-haired boy with green eyes and a scar on his right cheek.
Who else if not Basara?
It had been quite a while since he last saw her. And since he reunited her with one of her mothers, Sapphire.
The way Basara looked at him was very friendly as if he was his brother.
Eiji walked up to the boy while greeting by raising one of his hands, "Yo Basara. No, I just came back from the toilet. Do you think a good student like me just came to school at this hour?"
"...." Basara wanted to say yes, you did.
He was sure Eiji had just come to school and he said he was a good student...
But what time is it?
Basara smiled, he clearly didn't believe what Eiji said.
But—
"No, you didn't."
Since helping him find his mother. Eiji was already regarded as his own brother. Basara was very grateful to that boy, he could now feel what it was like to have a mother.
Although his mother's cooking was bad and he was sloppy in doing homework. This week Basara was so happy and that's why he would pretend not to know the bad things Eiji did.
"You yourself, where are you from, Basara?" Eiji asked and it seemed like he forgot something.
"I'm also from the toilet." Basara said.
"...."
Eiji was silent.
There were many restrooms in this school. He didn't know which toilet Basara was from.
But put that aside.
Speaking of toilets...
'Miss System, if I'm not mistaken I also gave Basara a sub-system. Is that thing still active?'
[Hm... Yes.]
'And does it still give him a reward every time he's been in the toilet for so long?'
[Yes, it's a daily quest system. Every day Basara goes back and forth to the toilet six or seven times.]
Eiji didn't feel guilty. After all Basara wasn't forced to do it and he himself accepted the daily quests because he was tempted by the rewards the system provided.
Eiji was only slightly surprised that the protagonist was still utilizing the system. Originally he gave the boy a sub-system so that he would be misunderstood to have a serious illness by Mio, Maria and Yuki thus lowering their impression of him a little.
That way, he could seduce the three girls more easily. And he succeeded in doing so, he had now fucked Mio, Maria and Yuki and could have sex with them whenever he wanted because they had fallen in love with him.
He worked hard to win the girls' hearts.
Thanks to Basara.
But from then until now Basara was still using his system. He must have done it in order to become stronger by cheating to save his other mother, Raphaeline.
At this moment, Eiji wondered should he tell the boy?
[It's not that I don't want to tell Basara that I saved his other mother. Now Raphaeline is living in my house with my other women and she's lost some of her memory.]
[Just this morning when we were having a conversation. That woman never even mentioned how Sapphire and Jin's child she had given birth to was doing. It seemed to be because she didn't remember how well her relationship with Sapphire and Jin was when they were trapped in dimension zero. Raphaeline did not think much of Basara. To her giving birth to Basara was probably just a good deed she did as a benevolent Goddess.]
[Basara will surely be happy and sad when he finds out about this. Besides, it would also be dangerous if Raphaeline's whereabouts were known by more people. The members of the Ten Gods who might have learned of her disappearance from the Eternal Prison will search for her through people who are related to her.]
[As a good friend. I should solve this problem first before telling Basaran, right? Basara, leave it to me!]
The heroines:
Hearing Eiji's inner voice...
That man sounded like he had very good intentions for the protagonist Basara.
He was so considerate that he wouldn't tell Basara that he had saved his mother because he wanted to solve the problem the woman had first.
Sounds really good, right?
However, those who have joined Eiji's harem and know the man is only looking out for himself!
He was greedy for Basara's mother. Sapphire was not enough, he also wanted Raphaeline who was as beautiful as a Goddess and an Elf.
Basara did not know this.
Even Sapphire who had now arrived at Eiji's house and met Raphaeline had no intention of telling her son.
At least for now because she was not ready.
The biggest reason was because she had such a relationship with Eiji. Sapphire somehow wanted to drag Raphaeline along so that she would not be alone when the time came.
Raphaeline did not know this.
"Sapphire? Long time no see. Sorry, I don't really remember much about you other than I helped you give birth to your child."
"It's okay, Raphaeline. Now that the Demon and hero tribes have made peace, and you've been hiding from the God tribe. We can start being friends again from the beginning without worrying about where we came from."
"Is that so? Sure Sapphire, let's be friends. I happen to have a lot to ask you."
At Eiji's house, Raphaeline was excited and Sapphire helped Eiji by lying about what happened when they were trapped in the zero dimension.
This would be detrimental to Jin not recognizing her as his lover.
On the other side, Eiji had just finished a conversation with Basara. The boy invited him to have lunch together but he politely declined.
Rather than having lunch with a boy, Eiji would rather have lunch with his girlfriend and fiancée.
Of course, it wasn't impossible to have lunch with other beautiful girls.
"Eiji! You didn't come to class, I thought you wouldn't go to school... It turns out you're here?"
