That's what she thought.
But as a Gremoire created by the True Magic King.
Radix understood that her current situation was not favorable.
So she closed her legs and pinched her skirt before saying, "The name of this book is Radix Astil. The original gremoire from the Astil Manuscript copy."
She then glanced at Arata who looked dazed after Eiji managed to block her previous attack with ease and added to everyone. "I came here to retrieve my copy and the Magic King Element."
"..?!"
Except for Arata, the others were not so surprised.
After all they had found out earlier from Eiji's inner voice although it was only this time that they knew the woman's name and identity.
No wonder Eiji called the woman Sora's mother.
It turned out that she wasn't human, she was the original legendary gremoire.
"Oh." Eiji didn't change his expression. "And what do you want to do next after answering Mira's question? Do you still want to continue?"
Mira was sure the relationship between her and Eiji was not that close.
However, why did she feel like he was calling her name with intimacy in his voice?
Surprisingly she didn't hate it.
It definitely wasn't because she liked him.
She just slightly admired Eiji's power. Especially his magic armor that she couldn't even see and feel.
The otherworldly magic system made her curious.
Mira didn't show it on her face. On the surface, her face looked serious and cold.
She was tsundere.
"If possible I don't want to fight you and want you not to interfere in this matter because as I said. My goal is to retrieve my copy and the Magic King Element that boy has."
Radix pointed at Arata and Sora who were hanging from his neck.
Wait a minute. She said she didn't want to fight Eiji and didn't want the boy to interfere.
So it was okay if she still had to fight the Trinity Seven who were on the scene?
Mira, Akio and Levi's lips twitched. They felt they were being belittled which made them a little upset.
Before Eiji answered—
"For a gremoire who came in such a disrespectful manner. You're making too convenient a request for yourself, aren't you?" Akio put her fists in her palms with a smirk on her face.
Radix glanced at the girl indifferently. "Fighting-type mage, you already know I'm a gremoire. So don't confuse my common sense with humans. And I'm not asking you, I'm asking that mage from another world."
[Mage from another world? How did Radix know? Ah... I remember a legendary gremoire like him having the ability to analyze magic or something. But is it just because of that? Well... Whatever it is. Mage from another world sounds bad. I'd rather be called "husband" by a beautiful woman.]
The heroines on the scene:
I'm sure many men out there want the same thing.
But in this situation... You want your enemy to call you husband?
Radix was silent, and since she was a gremoire, she was programmed to answer every question unless her attention was distracted or someone else interrupted her.
So she actually wanted to answer she knew Eiji was a mage from another world from her inner voice that previously said his magic came from another world in his inner voice.
But...! Radix widened her eyes, not knowing why, she couldn't tell Eiji the truth.
Trying to understand why she could hear Eiji's inner voice and why she couldn't tell the boy that she could hear his inner voice...
It was beyond her ability.
Radix was forced to put that aside. She recognized that her common sense was different from humans. But that didn't mean she was stupid and didn't understand what Eiji wanted from her.
Wanted her to call him husband? No way.
She had never even called her master that.
This otherworldly mage... How do I say it?
He was shameless. Even while saying that in his heart, his face looked like someone who had not thought of that kind of thing at all.
Akio and Levi almost tripped.
Mira's lips twitched. Luckily she didn't drop her crystal ball.
At this moment, the gremoire around Arata's neck suddenly glowed and transformed into a girl with an appearance 70% similar to Radix.
Arata and the other members of Trinity Seven were shocked.
If Radix was the milf version of the Astil Manuscript.
Then this girl was the loli version of Astil Manuscript!
[Her appearance is the same as in the original work. Still, if I had to choose, I would choose the milf version like Radix.]
"Eijii!"
In the principal's room. Everyone glanced at Lilith because the girl suddenly shouted Eiji's name.
Feeling everyone's gaze. Lilith who was annoyed that Eiji was thinking such a thing felt her face heat up.
"Hoho. Lilith, if you're so worried about Eiji-kun, why don't you go there?"
"I-I'm not worried about him! The principal and... Eiji doesn't seem to need my help."
Lilith pursed her lips.
Despite not knowing Eiji as long as Rias and the other girls in his harem.
She who had seen how strong Eiji was so far felt no need to worry at all.
Even after hearing Radix was targeting Arata and Sora. She wasn't worried because Eiji was there.
Although Arata was a bit disappointing because he was silent when Eiji was suddenly attacked even though he could fire his anti-magic attack to block Radix's fire.
Lilith was naive, she thought Arata was too surprised by the opponent's power that he froze.
It wasn't just Lilith. Lieselote and the people in the room also chose to watch from a distance.
Of course, not all of them were as naive as Lilith.
Arin and Yui wanted to join the battle out of concern for Arata. But Rias and the girls of Eiji's group held them back with the excuse of "It's okay, Eiji's there."
"...." Arin and Yui looked at each other. They wanted to refuse, but considering Eiji's strength so far...
They were persuaded by the girls.
[Mio: Rias, what are you planning to do with these two girls? Compared to the other Trinity Seven they seem to really like the protagonist.]
[Rias: Actually nothing. We'll just try to keep them away from the protagonist as much as possible. The rest is up to what Eiji wants.]
...
Eiji didn't know his girls in the principal's room were conducting a wingman operation.
Honestly if it was about Arin and Yui. Hey... Does he look like a man who is so greedy for beauty?
[Yes you do!]
[My king, you're joking, right? Please don't forget your Harem King identity!]
The woman and the loli inside his head said excitedly.
Eiji was not happy at all. Those two women and everyone else misunderstood.
So far it was the heroines who were interested in him.
Even when he wasn't wooing them and just trying to change the plot.
Right?
Miss System and Leme:
Sometimes they don't know if this guy forgot or pretended to forget all the manipulative things he did to get those women.
If those women knew what he was thinking right now.
Many of them would definitely spit.
Still, Eiji's gaze was now going back and forth between Radix and her loli version, Sora who looked like a naughty girl.
"My mother, it's been a while since we met. Call me Sora. How about I refuse to go with you? Cancel also your idea to take the Magic King Element from my master." Sora asked while ignoring Arata's gaze.
Arata clearly looked happy that his gremoire could turn into a cute loli.
Radix calmly said, "My daughter... I see. You're called Sora now, right? So why should I do it? You found out yourself after I woke up. We must join forces and collect every scattered Magic King Fragment to revive the master."
Sora shook her head with a mischievous smile. She pointed at Arata and said, "Which master are you referring to, mother? My only master is Onii-san who is here. As for your goal to revive the True Magic King, we will not participate in it."
"True Magic King?" Arata certainly knew the True Magic King. It was the target power he wanted to achieve to get back his cousin, Hijiri and protect the people he cared about including the girls in Trinity Seven.
He wanted to win the hearts of all of them with that power.
But this was the first time he heard the plan to revive the True Magic King who seemed to be someone other than himself.
Before this Sora had never told him about this at all.
Arata glanced at Mira, Akio and Levi beside him to see their reactions. But the girls didn't look surprised at all.
What? Why do I feel like I was the only one left in the dark before this?
Unfortunately Arata was a little depressed because of this not knowing the girls had already heard some of the things Radix had said from Eiji's inner voice. So of course they weren't surprised.
Eiji didn't bother to notice the protagonist's confusion. Instead of noticing the boy in this situation. Wasn't paying attention to the reunion of mother and daughter in front of him more fragrant?
He couldn't help but remember the hot scene in the original work where Sora squeezed the big breasts of her mother, Radix when they were bathing together.
That scene was very erotic, especially when Radix moaned and made a lecherous expression. Their combination was good and it would have been perfect if there was one handsome man with a drawn sword in it.
[Cough! What was I thinking? Didn't I come here to save the world from boss Aryan? These women are dangerous to my heart.]
[I... I definitely won't be tempted by them!]
The heroines:
Again. What were you thinking? You even called the villain's boss your boss to make us laugh.
And that last one... Sorry, but that's so hard to believe! Even if you say it in your heart.
It doesn't sound convincing.
You're saying you won't be tempted? Say that before you seduce Lilith and Liese so vigorously!
Also...
The heroines had no idea what Eiji was really thinking.
The expression Eiji was showing made it difficult for anyone to tell that the man was thinking about perverted things. He looked serious and handsome.
But it wasn't hard for the girls who had known him for a long time to guess what he might be thinking when he saw two almost identical beauties talking to each other.
That must be it, right?
Basically perverted stuff.
"Sora, you..." Radix's mind was actually a little distracted by Eiji's babbling. Could the man shut up for a while? Moreover, who was this world-threatening Aryan boss? She didn't know.
For now. Radix did not expect her own copy to refuse to join in the plan to revive her master and said, "You should come with me. The Magic King candidates are only vessels for our masters. They cannot be compared to the real masters. Besides..."
While Arata and Trinity Seven were again surprised. The Demon Lord candidate was a vessel for his master Radix, the True Magic King? They just knew this.
Arata doubted life. But with his protagonist mentality, things like this were not enough to discourage him.
Radix shifted her gaze to Eiji briefly before looking back at Sora.
"Didn't you notice the magic fluctuations that enveloped the world yesterday? That much power... It's possible that it's a master reborn with his own methods."
"Huh?" Sora who was about to refuse her mother's invitation again was stunned and confused. She certainly knew the fluctuations of magic that was arguably stronger than the True Magic King.
But her mother seemed to have misunderstood. After all...!
Sora glanced at Eiji and the man happened to wink at her.
Although Sora was a gremoire, she had to admit when a man as handsome as Eiji winked at her. She couldn't help but feel excited.
However, she quickly dismissed what she was thinking because it was like being a traitor to her master!
She quickly looked away from Eiji and back at her mother. Still, it was too late as Arata saw the small movement earlier and now his expression seemed to darken slightly.
The protagonist's emotions are not as good as in the original work.
Whose fault is it? Of course it is...
"...." Eiji.
"Mother about what you said... I'm still resisting and you seem to have misunderstood. I know the magic fluctuations yesterday that you mentioned. But believe me, he's definitely not the True Magic King we know." Sora said. She hesitated to mention that the magic fluctuation her mother was referring to was Eiji's!
Honestly after witnessing the power of the boy who was the same age as her master. Sora was amazed and a little afraid of him.
She was worried that offending him would get her master in trouble. And don't think she didn't know. Eiji seemed to be eyeing the girls in Trinity Seven! Now he even had two of them like Lilith and Lieselote in his pocket.
This clearly cost Arata the loss of his two Trinity Seven. However, what could Sora do about it?
Nothing.
"Then it's fine. I'll just revive the master with my method. But since you refused to return to the master's place and refused to leave that Magic King Candidate... The words force and refusing orders don't apply to me."
Radix finally glanced back at Eiji.
Mira, Akio and Yui had already activated their respective themes while Radix was busy talking.
Now they were ready to fight seriously!
But at this moment before Radix said anything to Eiji-
[These two women, Radix and Sora were discussing the magic fluctuations that enveloped the world yesterday... Um? Isn't that me? Come to think of it forcing my way out of the ultra-high-speed world with many people using my magic power will definitely attract a lot of attention].
Radix: ".... Is that you? Is that really you?"
[And talking about reviving the True Magic King. Radix didn't know yet what really happened to that guy like in the original work... Hey should I tell her? Everyone thought True Magic King died in the war against the Heavenly Arbitrators, his body and soul had been destroyed by those Arbitrators, but what really happened was...]
Not only Radix. Trinity Seven who could hear the man's inner voice felt on edge.
Only those who were used to Eiji's horrible pauses like Rias and the other heroine were happy to see the suffering of those women.
Tell me! Tell me what really happened to my master!
Radix was almost mad.
Eiji seemed to know a lot about his master from what he called his "original work". Maybe it was magic to see the future or something?
"Radix, right? You must want to ask about your previous request. Sorry Arata is my friend and Sora is his gremoire. I can't just stand by if you want to do what you want to do to them."
So cruel! You're not continuing your inner voice? You devil!
But uh... What did you say?
All of Trinity Seven were dumbfounded.
The other heroines felt Eiji was starting to abuse the word "friend" again. Take protagonist Basara for example. Mio and Yuki were one of the living witnesses of what Eiji called friends.
I mean which friend greedily fucks two of your younger sisters, three of your childhood friends, and your mother? It would most likely be the two mothers since Raphaeline was on her way to getting into Eiji's pocket.
Basara didn't know the last two yet.
"Eiji, you actually..." Arata widened his eyes.
Maybe he had misunderstood Eiji all this time? He wasn't that bad...
Even though that boy had stolen two Trinity Seven, Lilith and Lieselote from him.
He considered him a friend...
It had been a long time since Arata had received a friend of the same gender as him since becoming a mage.
He felt a little happy.
At this moment, Radix's body trembled and a black magic power enveloped him.
It meant she was angry. A legendary gremoire who was intelligent and had emotions like him could certainly get angry.
She couldn't even say what made her angry for others to understand because she couldn't tell Eiji about his inner voice.
Kuh... What exactly is this inner voice? Whose power is this? Forcing me to shut up... Cruel.
Miss System: "...."
Radix's large chest rose and fell with a slight movement of his outstretched hand.
"You will most likely refuse, I know that. You who have a magic defense similar to my master are indeed the most troublesome. But my previous attack was also not my full power. I'll show you why I'm called Gremoire-"
*Boom!!!*
Everyone's hearts were shaken and the expressions of the Trinity Seven including the protagonist froze.
Except for Radix. Why? It was because before the woman finished speaking.
Eiji took out one of his hands from his pants pocket and held out his palm which had a small cross tattoo.
The cross was glowing dimly with red light and when he waved his hand down it was as if something was coming down from the sky.
Everyone at the scene shuddered as at that moment they felt the sky above them collapsing!
They only felt it unharmed although it was a bit difficult to breathe. But the one who really felt this terrifying power was Radix!
The woman was suddenly knocked down and her body was pressed into the ground by the terrifying force of gravity. The ground beneath her shattered into pieces until it buried her and formed a giant palm print with a cross in the center that sank several meters.
Eiji was holding back of course. He was only using the gravitational manipulation Longinus possessed without manifesting the actual divine hand.
However, that much power was enough to instill terror into the hearts of everyone there.
"Did the legendary gremoire die?" Levi asked with cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
What happened was too fast and a ninja nicknamed a mage assassin like herself felt that such a powerful force was not magic at all.
What Levi thought was not wrong.
After all, Eiji's Longinus contained divine power even though he used magic power to use it. That magic power was transformed into divine power by the Longinus itself.
"There's no way my mother died or was destroyed. A genuine legendary gremoire like her has regeneration abilities that can heal her wounds in an instant." Sora replied with a slightly trembling voice.
"Heh is that so? But after being hit by Eiji's attack. She still hasn't surfaced. Could it be that she..."
Akio glanced at Eiji and everyone else did the same.
Eiji shrugged. "She's still alive. It's just that she fainted."
"Legendary Gremoire fainted?!!"
They were surprised and to prove it Eiji slightly waved his hand upwards.
Instantly a woman's body flew to the surface. Or rather thrown up by reverse gravity.
Of course that woman was Radix.
