Chapter 20 - Unexpected date

Not knowing what his father-in-law was up to.

At this moment.

Around 9am on a Sunday.

School is of course off.

On a busy city street where many pedestrians pass by.

Eiji and Lala are on a date.

Both of them were dressed nicely. They looked very handsome and beautiful, making many people who saw them misunderstand that they were a couple of models.

Eiji's own appearance was already very handsome. His blonde hair stood out among the crowd, combined with his clothes; a long-sleeved white T-shirt with an unbuttoned red shirt, black trousers, and white sneakers.

In Japanese terms, he looked like an Ikemen which is basically a handsome and sexy man.

With his blonde hair, he also seems to have the attributes of a Bad Boy which makes many girls on the street can't help but glance at him.

Of course not a few of those girls wanted to approach him and wanted to get acquainted with him, but they all gave up when they saw the girl walking beside him.

With her beautiful long pink hair, milky-white skin and emerald green eyes. Lala looked absolutely stunning, especially when she was wearing a two-tone gray dress, short black socks and white shoes. The outfit was actually a Peke that could transform into any outfit for Lala and she seemed to be copying the woman on earth dress that had been featured several times in TV commercials.

As a sign that the clothes Lala is wearing are Peke. If you look closely, there is a small brooch on Lala's head that looks like Peke's face.

At first glance, it looks like a cute accessory and fits perfectly with Lala who is currently smiling brightly while hugging one of his hands.

"Eiji, Eiji. What's that?" The pink-haired beauty pointed to a small stall by the roadside.

"Ah that... That's the cotton candy vendor."

Eiji said that after seeing some pink cotton candy on display at the small stall.

There were quite a few people waiting in line, mostly teenage girls and children.

"Cotton candy..." Lala muttered, her gaze seemingly interested.

Eiji who saw this immediately said, "Want to try it?"

"Yes!"

"Then let's buy it."

Eiji led Lala to get in line and buy the cotton candy.

He bought two. One for Lala and one for him because he was also interested in trying it.

After all, it had been a long time since he had tried this food again.

The last time he tried cotton candy was when he was in elementary school in his previous life.

By the way you might be wondering why today he and Lala are dating?

It was actually because yesterday he had promised Lala that he would take her for a walk to nice places.

Let's call it a date since Lala is his fiancée.

"How does it feel?"

"It's very soft and sweet. I love it!"

Lala eagerly ate the cotton candy that was almost the same color as her hair.

Probably because she liked it so much, she ate quite fast until the cotton candy looked almost gone now.

"That's good. Here, eat mine too. You can eat it all."

"Eh, Eiji. Are you sure?"

Eiji nodded while pushing his cotton candy into Lala's other hand. "Yeah, I actually just wanted to try a little and I don't really like eating candy."

"If you say so. Thank you Eiji!"

Lala did not refuse, she was now holding two cotton candies with a sweet smile on her face.

The two of them were still walking.

Passers-by naturally noticed the couple and couldn't help but feel sour, especially for those who were single!

But even for people who were also dating. They felt like they were being fed dog food just by looking at Eiji and Lala walking while eating and laughing.

Perhaps because the two looked so good together, looking so handsome and beautiful; many of them felt envious.

I felt like I was seeing a dating scene that would normally be in a manga or movie.

There was an illusion like the background was sparkling with spring light between the two.

If Eiji knew what those people were thinking.

He would definitely say that it was probably because of anime logic or something?

[By the way is it just my feeling that some people are following me and Lala?]

[I don't know the exact location, but they're definitely not far from here.]

Eiji narrowed his eyes, he looked around vigilantly.

Lala who was still busy eating cotton candy was also quietly looking around.

Hearing Eiji's inner voice said there were several people who seemed to be following them.

Although on the surface she looked innocent, in fact right now she was wary of whether it was the bad guys sent by some marriage suitors she had previously rejected?

Before coming to earth, she had been chased by those people.

Knowing she was now engaged to Eiji.

She didn't know if those people gave up or were still stubborn to pursue herself?

There were too many people currently walking around them.

So it was difficult to find people who were suspicious.

In the end, Eiji decided to go ahead with the date as usual and took Lala to visit other nice places in the city.

Whoever the people were that followed them.

If they had evil intentions, sooner or later they would definitely show themselves.

Lala happily continued to follow Eiji. Actually no matter what happened, she felt that as long as she was beside Eiji; she would be safe.

So she didn't worry too much and continued to have fun with Eiji.

Eiji said the thing they were doing right now could be called a date that couples usually go on.

After learning the meaning, Lala was even more excited about the date they were currently having.

Her smile became brighter, making men or women passing by on the street mesmerized and somewhat dazed when they saw her.

[As expected of the heroine. Is this the main heroine's charm? Any beautiful scenery seems to pale just by looking at her happy smile.]

[Damn, am I also mesmerized and starting to become stupid?]

¶{You, yes.}

"..."

Miss System answered for him, which he ignored.

"Hey we're heroines too. Why do I feel like this guy is a bit biased?"

About 20 meters behind Eiji and Lala.

Precisely behind the wall and lamppost on the side of the road.

Four girls were hiding there.

They were Rias, Akeno, Sona and Tsubaki.

Because their appearance was too prominent, of course they also added stealth magic to hide their presence in the eyes of others.

At least ordinary people, it was impossible to see the four of them crouching at the moment.

Even for supernatural beings, as long as they kept a considerable distance. They were still hard to find and hard to see.

For example, Eiji seemed to know he was being followed but didn't know where exactly they were.

So none of them panicked when Eiji guessed that far away.

"Maybe because Lala is the heroine who became Eiji-kun's fiancee?"

Tsubaki answered Rias' question in a reasonable tone.

The other two girls nodded. "Makes sense..."

Rias pouted, she looked at Sona with a mocking smile and said: "Sona, I remember you were also Eiji's fiancee after he beat you in chess, right?"

"Why doesn't Eiji take you on a date like he did with Lala?"

Rias, are you looking for trouble with me?

Sona's face turned cold, she looked at the red-haired girl in annoyance.

Actually what Rias said was rather piercing, and the answer to that question was because she hadn't told Eiji that she and he were engaged since her defeat in chess a few days ago.

The engagement was still one-sided, but all her family already knew about it.

Her father, mother, and older sister.

They all knew that she had been defeated by Eiji in a game of chess.

Except for her father and mother who seemed to be fine as long as she liked her fiancé.

On the contrary, her older sister was making a scene like a big baby by saying "Sona can only marry Onee-chan! Marrying anyone else is forbidden!!!"

Yesterday the house was so noisy, she tried to ignore her older sister. But not knowing why, her older sister rummaged through her bedroom and managed to find photos of her cosplay that she did secretly!

Although after finding the photos, her sister calmed down and went back to her own room. But she could see that her older sister kept giggling and looking at her with a funny look.

Fxxck!

In essence, last night was the most embarrassing night of her life.

And actually today, now she and Tsubaki had originally planned to hang out and go to the bookstore.

But on the way, they ran into Rias and Akeno who seemed to be stalking Eiji and Lala who were on a date.

In the end, after being pulled by Rias.

She and Tsubaki were here.

"Rias, just mind your own business."

That was all Sona could say to the redhead.

She signaled Tsubaki to follow her and said to the other two girls.

"It's not good to follow people who are on a date. Tsubaki and I will stop and go to the bookstore."

"So..Goodbye Rias, Akeno."

Sona turned around and was about to leave with Tsubaki, but her shoulder was grabbed by a hand.

Whose hand? Well who else if not Rias.

"Wait."

"Rias, if you continue to force me, I will..."

Sona was about to snap, but Rias immediately said as she pointed at Eiji in the distance.

"You sure you want to go?"

"What do you mean? I want to go!"

"No, let's see. The situation is looking more and more interesting."

Sona frowned, she turned to the direction Rias was pointing.

And there, from a distance she saw Eiji and Lala who seemed to have coincidentally met with the orange-brown-haired boy beside whom there was also a purple-haired girl.

"Hm?"

Not only Sona. Tsubaki and the others also began to stare at the interesting situation in the distance.

"Ara ara, why don't we watch closer? By the way don't forget to buy popcorn across the street." Akeno said with an excited-looking smile on her face.

"Kaichou, why don't we watch a little more?"

Even Tsubaki couldn't help but be interested, she persuaded Sona.

Sona felt helpless, but she was also actually interested.

"Alright. Since you all are so pushy, I reluctantly agree."

Rias snorted, responding to Sona with a playful smile on her face before saying: "Sona, I just found out you have the attributes of a tsundere."

"Rias, I don't understand what you're talking about. I don't understand the language that otakus use."

Sona replied with sarcasm veiled in her words.

Rias raised her eyebrows. "Oh? Who's the girl who said that? Is that the girl who secretly likes to cosplay Magical Girl in her bedroom secretly?"

"Rias!"

"Sona!"

Akeno and Tsubaki looked at each other.

They both sighed.

Why are these two like a dog and a cat who fight so easily whenever they are together?

"Kaichou, enough. Let's quickly move the location so we can watch more closely."

"Rias, let's hurry. We can't miss the drama!"

On the other side.

Right in front of the fountain, whether it was fate or coincidence or a plot written by a dog author.

Eiji and Lala who were dating met two familiar people.

Those two people are Rito and Haruna!

The purple-haired protagonist and heroine also seem to be on a date.

Eiji was a little surprised of course, but quickly calmed down.

He glanced at Rito and Haruna who seemed to look surprised when they saw them.

Haruna's reaction was needless to say, she was surprised and blushed at the same time. Maybe because she was a bit embarrassed to be seen by her classmates?

As for Rito? Hehe.

His expression when he saw Lala who was dating another man.

His expression looks surprised, frozen, and gradually becomes ugly.

His skin also looked a little paler than usual, and it seemed like he was dating Haruna when his own health was not good.

Well maybe because of what happened last time in class when Lala first entered school and said Eiji was her fiancé to his face?

Eiji smirked.

Rito clenched his fists.

Lala hugged Eiji tighter, but still with her usual bright smile.

She looked at the two people in front of her and said hello.

"Haruna! and um... Classmate Rito?"

*stab*

Rito clutched his chest with a pained expression, he felt that the way Lala said his name sounded very far away.

Unlike in his previous life where she always called his first name sweetly.

{My heart, my heart hurts! Ahh!! Why Lala? Why!? In previous life, you always called me Rito in such a sweet way. But now? Why is it like this!}

[Pffft! Ahahahaha!]

Eiji closed his lips that were trembling from holding back laughter.

Lala glanced at Rito strangely, she could certainly hear his inner voice.

She knew Rito seemed to recognize her in his previous life.

But so what? She somehow didn't want to get too close to him.

And actually she was also afraid if she got too familiar with Rito.

Eiji might get angry or hate her because of that?

She didn't want that to happen!

So as Eiji had once taught, she called a classmate who wasn't too close to her formally to draw the line.

Haruna, who today managed to muster up the courage to ask Rito out on a date under the pretext of asking for her help to buy new school supplies.

Now her face was stiff, hearing Rito's inner voice that kept mentioning Lala, Lala, and Lala in his previous life.

She knew the Rito standing beside her was the Rito who had returned from the future.

But still, hearing her crush keep thinking of other girl while dating her.

She couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.

Obviously you're dating me, but still thinking of other girls...

Yuuki-kun, am I not enough for you?

Haruna bit her lip, her expression somewhat cloudy.

Rito didn't notice this, he was still staring at Lala blankly.

Both of them seemed unable to speak, and did not reply to Lala's greeting.

Eiji smiled at the reaction of the two, especially Haruna.

From her expression, he could guess a little that the girl felt sad that the boy she loved seemed to pay more attention to other girl than her.

Haruna now seemed to be swapping positions with Lala in the original work.

In the original work, Lala had to always watch the boy she liked, Rito kept pursuing and trying to confess his love to Haruna.

If Lala was a normal girl, she would definitely feel very sad to see Rito who in the original work paid more attention to another girl than herself who became his fiancé.

In this world, the roles are reversed.

Now Rito seemed to be pining for Lala, and Haruna had to watch the boy she liked pining for another girl instead of her.

Hehe what kind of love drama...

Eiji suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Miss System who knew what her host was thinking was a little surprised and excited.

¶{Host, you are as cunning as the yellow-haired protagonist in the hentai franchise NTR!}

'Miss System, don't equate me with that ugly bastard.'

Eiji was slightly offended.

¶{O-Oh, sorry. But host, are you sure this idea will work?}

Eiji did not answer, with a friendly smile, he said to the protagonist and heroine in front of him:

"Yo Sairenji, Rito. Looks like you two are dating...too?"

"Since we're classmates. Why don't we go around together? Let's do a double date."

"Me and Lala. Rito and Sairenji. There's an Aquarium not far from here. Why don't we go there together?"
