"W-Wait Eiji, you... You can't kill me."
"Oh? Why not? Unless you're those people, I have no habit of letting go of people who try to kill me." Eiji said coldly, the people he was referring to were the protagonists or at least people like Euclid, Sirzechs and Azazel who had some more uses for him in the future. Of course, if they crossed his bottom line, he would not hesitate to kill them regardless.
Lars didn't know who Eiji was referring to, but he was definitely not one of those people, which made him smile bitterly.
"You already know my identity, right?"
Eiji placed his lightning sword on his shoulder, holding his chin before saying: "You're Lars, a double agent of the Demon King Faction and the Moderate Faction sent to monitor the Demon King's daughter who is now connected to Basara. The reason you approached Basara and wanted to pose as Yahiro and become his friend as well, you did it so that you could properly monitor the people around the Demon King's daughter."
"Well... There are still many other things about you that I know, but I'm too lazy to say them."
In the original work, in addition to having an identity as a villain character, in fact, Lars can also be said to be a supporting character. And unlike the Devil, Lars was a Demon who came from the Demon Realm. It was a place similar to the Underworld, but its location was in another hidden dimension.
When using one of Anos's spells to go to the Void Realm, Eiji actually already knew there were quite a lot of hidden dimensions on this planet, one of which was the Demon Realm.
So many dimensions are connected to a small planet like earth in this universe, but after remembering this universe is a crossover that has many franchises.
Eiji wasn't surprised when he first found out.
"!!!" Lars knew Eiji knew his true identity, but he didn't expect that man to also know his secret mission! And about his double agent work too, he knew!
Cold sweat dripped down Lars' forehead, besides the things Eiji mentioned above, the man also seemed to know a lot about him.
If it was anyone else, Lars would have immediately killed the person who knew his secret. But that person was Eiji, he was helpless... What could he do? Now his life was practically in that man's hands.
Even so, he can't die here!
Not before he got his revenge on that man.
"Since you know that much. Shouldn't you let me go? I'm a high-level agent of the Demon King faction and the Moderate faction! If I die, Eiji, you'll get..."
Before Lars could finish his sentence, his neck was grabbed from behind and he was lifted into the air. Lars couldn't speak, but his expression showed that he was really going to die!
"I don't like people threatening me. Obviously you know I'm much stronger than those guys behind you, but you still dare to threaten me using them? Even if they come together, they will only die in my hands."
"That's just like you."
"Goodbye."
"N-No. Eiji, sorry! I'm sorry, I didn't..."
Lars wanted to curse himself stupid, he again regretted making the wrong choice. He thought Eiji would at least be a little worried with the two large factions behind him, but no.
Instead of letting him go and forgiving him, Eiji did the exact opposite!
Crack.
Hearing the sound of bones breaking, Eiji squeezed Lars' neck until it broke and actually killed him on the spot. But he knew that a high-level demon like Lars also had a healing ability or some method to save his life at a critical moment like in the original work, so before the other party did it.
Eiji didn't give him a chance, his hand that was still gripping Lars' neck began to burn with black and red flames. This was one of Anos's fire spells called "Griad", a high-level fire magic that was enough to burn one's body to ashes.
Lars whose body was burned screamed, he tried to break free from his grip, but it was all in vain, in just three seconds.
Lars' body which in the original work was able to withstand the protagonist's sword slash, now his body was no longer visible.
Looking at the ashes scattered on the ground and blown by the wind, the atmosphere around also began to come alive again, the barrier that Lars made was destroyed because the person himself was dead.
5 minutes had passed to deal with Lars for talking too much, Eiji was a little annoyed, he was worried that Basara and Yuki had finished talking at the cafe. Fortunately the two were still there, so he wasn't too late.
Does killing Lars affect the plot? Of course it does. But so what? In Eiji's plan to deal with the protagonist Basara, Lars' existence was completely unnecessary. Actually, if that guy hadn't tried to kill him earlier, he would have let him live longer and even ignored him as long as the other party moved like in the original work.
However, Lars did not. Eiji didn't hesitate to kill him, especially when he remembered that none of the beautiful women had anything to do with that man.
¶{If he has it, what will you do, host?}
"It depends on how beautiful the woman is and what their relationship is with Lars. Unfortunately I remember all the beautiful women were monopolized by Basara in the original work. So Lars' life and death is not important."
¶{I thought you were going to do a green hat operation.}
"Aren't I on my way now?"
¶{You did?}
"Yes, I'm Basara's friend."
What friend would plan to steal his friend's woman?!
Even so, Miss System is excited to be a melon eater. You know melons? That's something good to watch.
...
"Basara, I'm saying this for your own good. You'd better stay away from Mio Naruse."
Sitting facing each other at the café after school.
With a monotonous but slightly pleading tone, the beautiful blue-haired girl, Yuuki looked at her childhood friend whom she had not seen for several years.
Despite not showing it on her face, when Basara transferred to her school and was in the same class as her this morning, she was actually very happy.
However, she learned that Basara seemed to have a certain relationship with the Demon King's daughter, somehow Mio Naruse became Basara's adopted sister and lived with Basara.
Besides being worried that Basara would be in danger for getting too close to the Demon King's daughter who was targeted by many people in the supernatural world.
She was also jealous of Mio Naruse for living with Basara.
Basara looked at his childhood friend, he smiled and shook his head. "Sorry Yuuki, I can't leave Mio."
"Why?" Although her tone was still the same, Yuuki bit her lip.
Basara was helpless to see Yuuki like this, he knew the girl was worried about him, but he also couldn't just leave Mio.
He scratched his cheek and said: "Yuuki, I also know Mio's situation. But now she is my younger sister. My father remarried and he wants me to take care of her."
"Basara, that woman must have deceived your father."
"No way, even if my father was deceived, he must have done it on purpose for some reason."
Yuuki knew Basara's father, Jin Toujou was a living legend among the Hero Clan she belonged to, as one of the heroes of the same Clan. Yuuki certainly knew a person as strong as Basara's father who was nicknamed the God of War, there was no way he would be fooled by the tricks of a demon like Mio Naruse.
Even so...!
She did not give up and said to Basara.
"Even if that's the case... Mio Naruse who lives with you must have bad intentions towards you Basara. You'd better stay away from her. If people from the hero clan other than me know you're living with Demon King's daughter."
"They will definitely not remain silent."
Basara frowned. "Enough Yuuki, I've also thought about the thing you're worried about and I still won't leave Mio."
Yuuki clenched her fists under the table. She was very upset and also sad because Basara was more concerned about the other girl's safety than his own.
She was getting jealous and unhappy.
"Is Mio Naruse that important to you, Basara?" When asking this, Yuuki was actually a little afraid to hear Basara's answer.
Basara was silent for a moment, but he nodded and said clearly. "Yes, I've decided to protect Mio and even Maria."
"Just because of what?"
"Because they're my sisters."
"Is it worth it? With your current power. If the people of the Hero Clan come..."
Basara smiled wryly. "It's okay. Even though I still can't use my full power and stopped training for 6 years, I'm not that weak, okay?"
"To protect Mio and Maria, I know I need more power and I will do it."
"...." Yuuki widened her eyes, she didn't expect the Demon King's daughter and succubus could make Basara who had stopped practicing for a long time start practicing again.
In the past, Basara was actually a member of the Hero Clan like herself. He was very talented like his father, but one day he lost control of his powers which caused some of their friends to die.
Even she, back then she was almost killed by Basara who lost control, but fortunately Basara managed to regain his consciousness.
Even so, witnessing his friends that he had killed by his own hands, he was traumatized which made him not want to use his hero powers anymore. Because of his actions, he and his father were expelled from the Hero Clan.
Many years had passed since then, Basara was still unwilling to use his powers, but now he would try again just because two bitches became his younger sisters.
A strong sour taste surged in Yuuki's heart, she still didn't understand why Basara cared so much for the Demon King's daughter like Mio Naruse. Because that girl is now his younger sister? Yuuki found it hard to accept. There was also another girl named Maria, she suspected that the succubus bewitched Basara or something.
She glanced slightly at the table to her right which was blocked by the wall coldly. After Basara said that, there was actually a sound of something falling from the next table.
That sound came from a red-haired girl who was eavesdropping. The girl was moved by what Basara said, she accidentally dropped the chopsticks on the table to the floor.
"Mio-sama... Are you alright?"
Sitting beside her, the white-haired loli picked up the chopsticks that fell to the floor and put them back on the table. She looked at the dazed red-haired girl with some concern.
"I'm fine Maria, don't worry." The red-haired girl smiled, there was a slight blush on her cheeks.
The two of them were none other than Mio Naruse and Maria Naruse.
At this moment, the three heroine in the cafe heard a male voice whistling in their heads.
They knew whose voice it was.
After all, it had been several months since they could hear his inner voice.
However, what he said now still took them by surprise, especially for Mio and Maria.
[As expected of Basara's protagonist. With a few sentences, you've managed to get your heroine moved. It won't take long for Mio to fall for a protagonist like you. Maria too, that loli will be in Basara's harem.]
[And Yuuki? Pathetic... Are you a little heartbroken? Hahaha! Even so, you will still join the protagonist Basara's harem in the future.]
[Well it's not bad for you guys. As I said before, this protagonist is not bad. I've finished watching the first episode of this franchise, it's time to go home.]
Basara is the protagonist?!
And you're going straight home?
Wait, are you here?!
Yuuki, Mio, and Maria naturally looked around the cafe.
Basara was confused, he didn't know why Yuuki was suddenly looking around.
But his gaze suddenly saw someone he recognized about to walk out of the cafe with a drink in his hand.
Basara naturally called out the boy's name.
"Oi Eiji!"
"Hm? Basara? You're here too?"
"Yes, I am."
"What a coincidence. I don't want to interrupt your date, so I'll see you tomorrow at school."
"No, who's on a date? Yuuki is just my friend. Why don't you join us?"
"...Are you sure? Okay, I'll join you guys."
Eiji walked up to Basara and Yuuki's table without hesitation, he even naturally sat beside Yuuki with a very thick face.
He completely ignored Basara's slightly surprised look, and Yuuki's surprised look that didn't become sad because Basara denied they were dating and only considered her a friend even though it was true.
Mio and Maria naturally peeked a little from the next table carefully and they were surprised because it was their first time seeing Eiji.
With silver hair, a handsome face, blue eyes, and a figure that was no less muscular than Basara. No, the boy's figure was actually much better than Basara.
But what surprised them the most was Basara and Eiji's dialog that made them have strange expressions.
They were both thinking: Do these two know each other well? Since when?
"Yo Nonaka-san, we meet again." Eiji said while glancing at Yuuki who was sitting beside him, the girl swiped her sitting position slightly to be further away from him, but there was a wall beside her so they were still sitting quite close.
"Eiji, you know Yuki?" Basara looked at the friend he had just gotten this morning curiously. Other than Yahiro, Eiji was also already considered a friend in his school.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable seeing Eiji sitting next to Yuki, he dismissed that feeling and was more curious because the two seemed to know each other.
Not knowing why, Yuuki felt worried that Basara would misunderstand, especially when Eiji was sitting so close to her.
Shameless man!
Also, is it just her feelings or is that man slowly sitting closer and closer to her?
She was about to say something, but Eiji preceded him.
"Yes, Nonaka-san and I know each other. We also have a good relationship, right Nonaka-san?"
"No, who has a good relationship with you?" Yuuki looked at Eiji flatly, and a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Eiji pretended to be sad, he...he drank his chocolate flavored starbucks a little before saying: "So that's it. It seems Nonaka-san forgot what the two of us did together two days ago."
"What did we do? What did we do? We were just getting to know each other and Utaha Senpai was still there! Technically it was a threesome, not just the two of us!" Very rarely did Yuuki lose her composure, she had a panicked expression and even raised her voice.
While speaking, she glanced at Eiji and looked at Basara for fear that he would misunderstand.
Basara was the first time seeing Yuuki make a richer than usual expression like that, he felt like he was seeing his childhood friend for the first time.
Eiji looked at Yuuki in confusion. "I mean that's what we're doing. What else?"
[Yuuki, are you imagining something obscene? You, me, and Utaha Senpai. Don't tell me you're imagining us doing theresome! Basara, I'm not doing anything, it's just your heroine who seems to have some lewd thoughts in her head.]
"Seiya, you..." This was Yuuki's first time being played by a man, her expression seemed to not know what to say. For sure she was so upset that she wanted to take out her Sakuya sword, but fortunately she was still able to restrain herself.
Mio and Maria at the next table seemed to be having fun eating melon.
Basara said: "So you two haven't been acquainted for long? Even so you seem to have a good relationship."
"No, we're not what you think, Basara."
"Yes, you're right Basara."
Their answers were in stark contrast.
Yuuki looked at Eiji who was smiling at Basara.
She felt strange, why did Eiji and Basara know each other and have a good relationship?
Since Basara was the protagonist, why did Eiji even seem very friendly with Basara?!
You know, what does Eiji usually do to the protagonist all this time? It made her suspect what Eiji really wanted to do to Basara.
Basara laughed a little at the sight of the two, he was completely unaware Eiji was on his way to steal one of his future wives.
He just felt happy to see his two friends making such a fuss. It felt rather lively, although Eiji and Yuuki's closer sitting distance made him a little uneasy.
His head felt a little heavy, Basara wasn't sure why.
