บท 27: Rejected protagonist

*Lala's POV*

I was fed up...

Since a few years ago when my dad announced that he was going to give up his position as king of Deviluke to whoever became my fiancé, my whole life fell apart.

Until now I was happy just staying in my room creating new inventions and playing from time to time with Nana and Momo, but after my dad announced that, I had to have marriage interviews almost every day with an almost infinite amount of suitors, most of them were princes or even kings of some planets.

Besides they all looked at my body in a strange way, it was obvious that they only coveted my father's position, they were all ugly and twice my age by far.

And I was also a little resentful with my dad, not only he offered me as if nothing, the only reason he wanted to leave his position was to be able to flirt with girls, in the end all this about compromising me was just an excuse to leave his position.

In the end I didn't even have time to create inventions, so I decided to run away from home.

Of course my dad didn't stand idly by, he immediately sent Zastin and his squadron full of elite soldiers to chase me, the chase lasted quite a long time, at one point it became more like a game, sometimes I even let myself get caught on purpose and then escape again, it was quite fun to play pranks on them.

Maybe they were fed up with me teasing them, that's why they sent a huge fleet of several high-tech ships to chase me, it was at that time when I was running away on a certain planet that I heard a rumor.

Apparently quite far from my current location was a planet called Earth, its inhabitants were very weak and its technology was quite backward, I saw it as the ideal place to escape from Zastin, because of this persecution I have not had much time to create new inventions.

It cost me a little to pass through their defenses, but finally I could escape successfully, but I think I underestimated Zastin a little, who would have thought that he would follow me to such a remote planet, when they had me cornered, the only option I had left was to use the Pyon Pyon Warp-kun to teleport, it was my last resort, to begin with it was a prototype that had several flaws, among them was that the target location was always random.

When I was cornered I was bathing in my ship, and I left Peke in sleep mode, that's why when I teleported I was naked....

Unexpectedly I teleported into a bathtub while an earthling was bathing, when I suddenly appeared I was about to talk to him but the moment he saw me he started licking my breasts for no apparent reason, at first I was confused, but after a few seconds I started to feel weird.

For some reason when he touched me I couldn't resist, the way he touched me was so tender, especially when he touched my tail, before I knew it I was already hugging him, I wanted to feel him more, I knew that what we were doing was something perverted, but something inside me told me that I had to give myself to that feeling.

When he finally stopped he kept looking at my face and I at his, what happened next is something that I don't even understand myself, once I saw my dad and my mom, that's why I knew it was a kiss, but I never gave it much importance, in the end it was just joining lips, it was nothing from the other world, or at least that's what I thought...

The moment our lips touched it was like a lightning bolt went through me, it felt so good, it's the first time I experienced such a warm feeling, we were like this for a while, until then he started to slowly introduce his tongue at first I was very confused and could only enjoy the feeling more and more, until I decided to respond in the same way with my tongue, it felt a hundred times better, so this is a kiss.

We were together hugging each other while kissing for quite some time, it was strange, it was the first time I met him, I didn't even know his name, but for some reason I felt so safe while I was in his arms, even though he was touching my breasts and my tail he was doing it with such delicacy and affection.

I didn't want us to stop, but slowly I started to feel dizzy, it seems that he noticed and very carefully lifted me up in his arms, now that I see him well he looked amazing, not only was he incredibly handsome his body would put all my father's soldiers to shame, I think it's the first time I see a man like this.

He left me on the bed in his room and then he left, he said he was going to bring something to drink to make my dizziness go away, while I was waiting for him I was exploring his room, he had several things that I saw for the first time, especially books, there were some with drawings that looked very cute that caught my attention, but I did not understand what they said.

After a few minutes he came back, I could see how he blushed when he looked at my body, that for some reason made me feel happy, besides he looked pretty cute, when we talked I could finally know that his name was Kenichi.

Kenichi gave me a food that apparently was quite rare, at first I did not take much importance and just ate, but I see that he was not wrong, none of the most delicious dishes I ate in Deviluke compared to the taste of that meat, especially that juice, but even that I liked a lot did not compare to what I felt when we kissed, just thinking about that moment made me get a little nervous.

In a moment while I was just telling him part of what happened to me, I took advantage of the fact that he was distracted and I kissed him again, it felt as good as the previous one, but just when we were in the best part Peke arrived, a part of me was happy that he was able to escape and another part was a little tempted to hit him away for interrupting us, besides because of him they also found me.

When I was thinking of ways to escape again, suddenly I was flying in the sky, even I did not understand what was happening, but when I felt that warm embrace I knew instantly that I was in Kenichi's arms, I could not believe it, we were flying through the sky without any technology, I could fly, but only when I used Peke, the Devilukenians also have wings, but being half Charmians I was not born with that ability.

According to what Kenichi explained to me it's a kind of technique, he looked pretty cool jumping through the sky, plus he was pretty fast.

When we arrived to a nearby park, Maul and Bwatts didn't take long to catch up with us, they questioned me that I had to go back home, but rather than having to marry one of those horrible suitors I preferred to stay with Kenichi, he was not only kind, he was also nice, he cooked well and besides his kisses and hugs felt so good.

Seeing how Maul wanted to hurt Kenichi I couldn't help but get angry, I was ready to pull out one of my inventions, but before I even had the chance, Kenichi dealt with him easily, not being able to do anything against Kenichi they just walked away, I could see how Bwatts looked at him with some fear, and I can't blame him, he looked a little bit like dad when he got angry.

After that, even though I felt fine, Kenichi took me very gently in his arms, I felt so relaxed that I ended up falling asleep in his arms, I want to keep feeling this warmth forever.

*Rito's POV*

Damn it... Yesterday was a terrible day, not only I failed to confess my feelings to Haruna-chan, there was also all that happened last night, I wonder what was that white thing that crashed into me, suddenly it started to scream asking me where was a certain Lala-sama, it was a terrible night.

Now I was walking to school, I just hope I don't run into Saruyama on the way, since he changed his appearance I feel uncomfortable when I talk to him, also I'm worried that he is so close to Haruna-chan, even though he knows I'm in love with her, plus she seems so happy when she talks to him.

Haruna: "Good morning, Yuuki-kun."

When I heard someone talking to me I turned around curiously.

My eyes almost popped out in surprise, me here complaining about my bad luck and it turns out that early today I have the best of luck.

Rito: (IS THAT HARUNA-CHAN!!!? UOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! HARUNA-CHAN IS REALLY TALKING TO ME!!!!)

I-I'm so happy, not only did I meet her so early in the morning, she also greeted me, no wait.... Am I stupid, I have to greet her back quickly.

Rito: "G-G-Good morning..."

Rito: (WAIT A MOMENT!!! IT'S TOO SOON FOR ME TO FEEL HAPPY!!!! THINKING ABOUT IT THIS IS MY CHANCE!!!)

Rito: "U... Uhmmm, Sairenji!!!"

Haruna: "Yuuki-kun, I wanted to ask you something? You're a good friend of Saruyama-kun, right?"

Rito: "E-Eh...?"

...

Why are you asking me about Saruyama?

Haruna: "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but last night while taking Maron for a walk, I had the feeling that I saw him flying through the sky, I know it sounds weird, but I'm completely sure it was him, that's why I wanted to ask you if you know anything about it Yuuki-kun."

Eh... Saruyama flying through the sky.... What are you talking about, it's true that he's handsome now and looks quite muscular, but him flying.... It's possible that Haruna-chan is reading a lot of fantasy books lately.

Rito: "I-I don't know anything about Saruyama.... B-Besides it's been a while since we've talked."

It's been a while since Haruna-chan and I have talked, and the first thing she does is ask me about Saruyama, there are other things she might ask me.....

Rito: (What am I doing standing there like a fool? I don't have many opportunities to talk to Haruna-chan, I have to take this opportunity to tell her how I feel).

Rito: "I-I-I have something to... T-Tell you Sairenji."

Haruna: "Huh?"

Rito: (IT'S NOW! ONLY NOW CAN I DO THIS!!!!!)

Rito: "I-I... I..."

Rito: (DO IT!! DO IT!!! DO IT!!!!!!)

Rito: "I..."

Rito: FOR A LONG TIME...!!! I HAVE BEEN IN LOVE WITH YOU!!! SO... PLEASE BE MY GIRLFRIEND!!!"

Rito: (I said it...!!!! I told her...!!!!!)

I started to slowly raise my head.... But to my dismay, in front of me was not Haruna-chan, instead there was an incredibly beautiful girl with long pink hair, although she was very beautiful, for some reason she was wearing a weird Cosplay.

Lala: "Hmm..."

She just stared at me with a confused expression.

Lala: "I'm sorry, I don't know you, so I can't accept that confession.... Besides I already have a fiancé.... So I'm sorry!"

After that she just walked off animatedly while humming a song, while completely ignoring my existence....

Rito: (E-Eh... I just got rejected...)

I didn't know who he was, but after he rejected me, I just stood there like a stupid man with a blank expression....

Rito: (NO WAIT!!! WHY DO I FEEL DEPRESSED!!!?!? WHO WAS THAT GIRL TO BEGIN WITH!!!? WHERE IS HARUNA-CHAN!!?)

Turns out Haruna-chan was always standing behind that girl and I hear everything, I also hear how I was rejected.

Rito: "S-Sairenji.... This is-"

Haruna: "N-No need to give me an explanation Yuuki-kun, even though your confession didn't go well I wish you luck in the future"

After that Haruna-chan hurriedly ran away leaving me alone, I couldn't help but fall down on my knees, while looking at the ground...

Rito: (Not only did I get rejected by a girl I don't even know.... Besides, Haruna-chan surely misunderstood everything and thought that I was in love with that girl.... She even wished me luck)

I couldn't help but let out tears of sadness.

Rito: (WHY IS MY LIFE SO COMPLICATED!? I JUST WANT TO CONFESS MY LOVE TO HARUNA-CHAN!!!!)

*Haruna's POV*

Haruna: (That was unexpected.... I didn't think Yuuki-kun was in love with that girl, but she rejected him, not to begin with it seemed like she didn't even know him.... Could that be the reason why Yuuki-kun has been behaving so weird lately, even distancing himself from Saruyama-kun even though they were such good friends...)

It's no secret that ever since Saruyama-kun changed his appearance Yuuki-kun has been behaving strangely, whenever Saruyama-kun wants to talk to him he always distances himself and walks away as if he wants to distance himself from him.

But I myself have witnessed how Saruyama-kun always talks to Yuuki-kun normally, even inviting him whenever he goes out with his new friends, Ichijou-kun and Shuu-kun, but he always ignores him or just runs away.

Haruna: (W-What a strange thing... I thought finding out that Yuuki-kun was in love with another girl was going to affect me more.... But unexpectedly I didn't feel so bad.... Maybe it's because I haven't talked to him for a long time.... Whenever I try to greet him, he always starts saying words in a low voice and runs away).

Now that I remember that girl looks familiar to me from somewhere...

Haruna: (Wait, it's not that girl that was in Saruyama-kun's arms last night)

Yesterday I went out for a walk with Maron and it ended up getting very late, when I was about to get home I thought I heard something in the sky, and when I looked, I'm completely sure that who was flying in the sky was Saruyama-kun....

But how is that possible...

No to begin with who is that girl, she was very beautiful.... When I saw her I didn't wonder why Yuuki-kun fell in love with her, not only was she much more beautiful than me, she also had much better hair and physical figure.

I wonder what relationship she has with Saruyama-kun....

*Narrator's POV*

At that moment without Kenichi and Lala's knowledge, in the outskirts of the planet earth there was a huge spaceship floating quietly.

Inside it could be seen the figure of Maul who was still wounded and also Bwatts who was quite nervous.

Zastin: "I see... So they couldn't catch her... Plus an earthling got in their way."

The one who spoke was Zastin, Lala's personal Bodyguard and also Deviluke's best swordsman. He is a man with grayish hair and blue eyes. Unlike the other soldiers he was the only one wearing demonic looking armor. Besides being Lala's bodyguard, he is also the commander of the Deviluke royal family's bodyguards.

Zastin: "In the end it's as I thought... I'll have to go down to earth myself to pick her up.... But what a troublesome princess!"

*Kenichi's POV*

Rito: "IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!!!"

We were taking classes from Honekawa-sensei, one of the few male teachers in the school, he was practically an old man, usually his history class is very boring, that's why it's not uncommon for some of the lazier students to fall asleep, like Rito who until just a few seconds ago was sleeping soundly.

Everything was normal until suddenly Rito woke up with a scream, startling us all.

Honekawa: "W-What, did I do something wrong!!!?"

For my part I decided to just ignore him, knowing him for sure he was thinking about something stupid, besides now I find myself thinking about something else.

Who would have thought that I would end up getting engaged to Lala, although since it's still something recent, that's why we still have to make it official, at first I thought that everything was like in the main story, when Lala chose Rito as her fiancé at first she intended to use him as an excuse for not being returned to her planet, that's why I thought she also intended to do that with me, but who would have thought that with total honesty she would tell me all her family situation.

After those Devilukenian soldiers left we went back to my house and we were talking for several hours, she told me several things about her life and her family and I also started to tell her about mine...

In the end he ended up showing me several of his inventions, thanks to the fact that I can see in alternate realities it didn't cost me much to keep up with all his explanations, Tony Stark's ingenuity is not to be underestimated, I was even able to point out several of the flaws in his inventions and we started to fix them together, that was pretty funny, we were playing with several of the pieces while laughing, one thing led to another and again we found ourselves kissing in my bed.

I know maybe I am moving too fast with our relationship, but what can I say, it was mainly Lala asking me to keep kissing her, of course we did nothing more than that, we comforted each other all night long with our warmth.

The strangest thing is that we fell asleep with clothes on the bed, but for some strange reason we were both sleeping naked in the morning, she was hugging me while burying my face between her delicious breasts, and I was hugging her while my erection rubbed against her wet pussy, at this rate we are going to have sex before I know it.

Although I am not opposed to the idea of having sex with her, I first want to confirm if our feelings are really mutual or is it just the excitement produced by the reaction between our genes.

On the one hand I possess Hanma blood, a powerful bloodline that always seeks to generate the strongest offspring, in addition to Gourmet cells that bring a great increase in all physical forms in addition to granting great vitality.

And on the other hand there is the Deviluke blood of Lala, the Devilukenians are a race somewhat similar to the Devil's of the world of DxD, but sometimes have tendencies to like to fight, plus it also has the blood Charmians which is known as the most beautiful race in the universe.

Maybe because of our bloods we are attracted to each other, but I don't want our relationship to be based only on sex, I prefer our relationship to truly be one of mutual love, so for the time being aside from kissing, I don't plan to go beyond that for the time being.

Shuu: "KENICHI!!! H-Hey!!! YOU'RE WANTED!!! AN INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL GIRL I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE IS ASKING FOR YOU!!!"

This son of a bitch is screaming like he's surprised, but I know he actually gets a kick out of seeing these kinds of situations straight out of romance anime.

Kenichi: "Seriously... By the way, it looks like Kyoko-sensei was looking for you a while ago."

Shuu: "W-What...!?"

Two of us can play that game, you don't know how much fun it is to see your nervous expression. Ignoring him I walked calmly out of the classroom, but on my way I heard several students talking, in fact before I knew it there were already several boys following me.

Girl #1: "Who is that girl!!!?"

Boy #1: "But what weird clothes she's wearing!"

Boy #2: "Is she a cosplay?"

Boy #3: "N-No.... That's the least of it."

All: "She's beautiful."

I could clearly see how everyone had hearts in their eyes, some were even floating like old cartoons, I laughed a little when a guy with dead fish eyes that I know quite well was so distracted looking that he crashed into the wall.

Lala: "Kenichi, where are you, come on! Come out wherever you are!"

Peke: (Eh... Apparently Lala-sama is too beautiful for these earthlings, they only need to see her once to get those stupid expressions.... Well, it's a fact that it can't be denied that Lala-sama inherited the beauty of her mother, the former queen of Deviluke, also known as the most beautiful woman in the universe).

The closer I got the more I could hear the voices of several other boys.

Boy #4: "You're very pretty.... Are you in the drama club?"

Boy #5: "If it's okay with you, w-we'll help you look for that Kenichi guy."

There were even some guys who were shamelessly looking for excuses to talk to her while looking at her with stupid faces.

Kenichi: "Were you looking for me Lala?"

Lala: "Ah, Kenichi! I found you ♥"

Kenichi: "You went to talk to the principal like I told you to."

Lala: "Yes! He didn't ask me anything and agreed right away to have me transferred to this school! Now I'm going to be able to spend more time with Kenichi ♥!"

After saying that, Lala jumped up to hug me, while I hugged her back as well.

Shuu: "H-Hey Kenichi, who is she!!!? No rather... What kind of relationship do you have with her!!!?"

When Shuu asked me that question I turned around and I could see how the whole hallway was full of nothing but guys looking at me with murderous looks, I could even see the famous group of perverts in the class, but not caring about their looks I just grabbed Lala's hand intertwining our fingers and said without any hesitation....

Kenichi: "This is Lala.... And she's my fiancée!"
