[Just like Artoria Pendragon's face is owned by quite a few people in the franchise. In the world of Trinity Seven, Arata's face is also owned by quite a few people.]
[Not only Astral Trinity. Lilith's father also had a similar face to him. Although he looks more mature but it's natural that Lilith looks at him strangely... I remember that in the original work almost all the Magic King Candidates and Magic Kings from various worlds had the same facial mold as Arata.]
Lilith and the other confused heroines were enlightened.
However, Lilith has slightly complicated feelings and is disgusted with her father. After all, her relationship with Arata was not so good and now her own father had a face similar to that boy.
Even so, they were also curious about the other thing Eiji had mentioned...
Artoria Pendragon?
Shouldn't that be Arthur Pendragon?
In this world the legend of the Legendary King from British mythology also existed although his version had some differences with Arthur Pendragon in Draconic Deus.
However, this character is famous for his Excalibur sword.
So the women thought the person in question should be a man.
Some of them suspected Eiji had misspelled the name but he said the person was from another franchise.
This meant there was a female version of Arthur Pendragon out there. Eiji who had a lot of knowledge about the plots of various franchises also knew this.
[Rias: This isn't surprising, right? In my world Arthur Pendragon is male and until now his bloodline still continues. Le Fay who is still living in Eiji's house comes from the Pendragon family and her older brother has the same name as her ancestor.]
[Liese: In my world that man is also a man. But I remember it was only a legend that was famous in Britain.]
[Mai: Err... Is this important to discuss?]
[Rias: No.]
[Utaha: Pretty sure not.]
[Liese: Ahahaha! No, it's not. But it's kind of funny that Lilith-sensei's father has a similar face to Arata. I wonder if there's a blood relation between them?]
[Lilith: Ugh... Liese, please don't say that. You give me the creeps.]
[Liese: Tee-hee! Sorry Lilith-sensei.]
At this moment Lilith could imagine Lieselote sticking out her tongue and closing one of them while tapping her own head.
That was annoying.
Too bad the girl was on a mission elsewhere. If they were a group, Lilith wanted to put her gun to her head.
Eiji didn't know the women in the group chat were having a fun chat just because of the beautiful woman from another franchise that he suddenly remembered and mentioned.
Now he himself was enjoying hugging Lilith in front of his father-in-law.
[Shouldn't that be the future father-in-law, host?]
Miss System, are you seriously asking me that?
[...I was wrong, I take back my question.]
Miss System just remembered who she was talking to.
It was her host.
Although that man hadn't married any of the women in his harem. He was already calling the father of those women as his father-in-law without shame.
And not only that. If the father-in-law has a beautiful wife...
Fathers-in-law out there should be careful because their wives might suffer the same fate as Venelana, Shuri and Lady Phenex.
They should be more affectionate with their wives otherwise, her host would take the opportunity to seduce those lonely women!
"Yes, Lilith is my girlfriend... Wait, you said 'my daughter's boyfriend'. Don't tell me you're..."
Eiji widened his eyes as if he was surprised.
Lilith and the women who could hear his inner voice actually admired his acting skills a little because he looked so natural.
Someone should give him an Oscar for his talent in pretending.
Those who couldn't hear Eiji's inner voice would definitely be fooled and think he just found out the person who came while riding a dragon was the father of the girl in his arms.
"That's right." The man riding the dragon seemed a little happy to see the surprise on Eiji's face even though he was still upset to see the boy hugging his daughter. He proudly said, "I am Lilith's father. My name is Abyss Trinity. Crimson Magic King and Magic King of the Luxuria archive."
"I came here to bring my daughter, Lilith Azazel. So boy, take your hands off my daughter immediately."
Arata was surprised that the man with a face similar to his was a Magic King and Lilith's father.
But those women...
Except for Lugh, Ilia and Sora. The other women didn't look surprised at all.
Even Lilith who heard her father's self-introduction just looked at the man strangely.
Abyss Trinity felt a little disappointed. Forget the reactions of the other women. But his own daughter didn't look surprised.
She even looked at him strangely. Did she not believe that he was her father?
Of course, Abyss Trinity felt that it was natural. This was Lilith's first time meeting him after all. It would be strange if the girl believed right away and he had no intention of explaining it here.
Abyss Trinity expected Eiji to refuse and he was ready to stretch out his hand to forcibly take Lilith from his arms.
But what the boy said next left him stunned.
"So you're Lilith's father? You're my father-in-law."
"...."
"But sorry father-in-law. Lilith and I have agreed not to let older people interfere in our relationship. I can't leave Lilith to you."
Eiji spoke as if Abyss Trinity was a father who did not approve of his relationship with his daughter.
Lilith could not remember agreeing to such a thing with Eiji.
Although it wasn't wrong because Abyss Trinity felt that the cabbage he had been waiting for to ripen for years would be stolen by someone else.
"Boy, you..."
Abyss Trinity was angry and confused. Was it just him or was his daughter's boyfriend shameless? He dared to call him father-in-law so many times even though he hadn't approved of his relationship with Lilith!
Did Lilith really agree to that with her boyfriend?
However, considering his grand plan. He hardened his heart and thought it didn't matter at all.
He just needed to take Lilith by force.
But before he could take action, another boy jumped between them with a gun in his hand.
Who else if not Arata?
He was in protagonist mode and naturally said protagonist-style words from his mouth.
"A father should not force his daughter and you seem to have evil intentions. I am the Magic King Candidate who will become the future Magic King! Senpai, I'm sorry but I won't let you take Lilith either. Even if you are her father."
{Lilith must have been moved by my words and the other women looked at me in awe. Hehe this moment has finally arrived! As long as Eiji has martial arts ethics, he won't go ahead of me to defeat Lilith's father}.
{This opportunity is mine. After I defeat her evil father, Lilith will definitely like me and will regret dating Eiji.}
{But Lilith, don't worry. It's not too late for you and the other Trinity Seven to join my harem. I will always welcome you, even Liese who has been defiled by Eiji because she is so sexy.}
Arata was so excited that his Magic King Element that was almost comparable to Abyss Trinity's made his black hair stand up like a Super Saiyan.
Abyss Trinity frowned. He actually didn't expect a Magic King Candidate to have that much Magic King Element.
And from his magic fluctuations... It seemed like it was a Magic King Candidate from the Superbia archive.
Abyss Trinity didn't know Arata got that much Magic King Element because of his dark side, Astral Trinity surrendered under Eiji's threat. If he knew Arata was getting power-ups that easily, he felt it was unfair.
This world clearly treated the protagonist and villain differently even though they were both people destined to become Magic Kings!
Even so, Abyss Trinity saw something in Arata and smiled dismissively.
Still, Arata didn't know that at this moment the heroines including Trinity Seven were increasingly displeased with him.
Especially Lieselote who was now on a mission to exterminate the demons in a certain ruin with Selina, Mira, Levi and some of the women in Eiji's group.
Radix was also there because this morning Eiji had asked a legendary gremoire like herself to be a support in his group of women.
But leave that aside.
Lieselote had a disgusted expression and couldn't resist insulting Arata.
"You will always welcome us? You're not even as handsome as Eiji and not as strong. I'd rather be defiled by Eiji to death than join your harem, little Magic King Candidate. Fufu~ his sword must also be smaller than Eiji's."
"O-Onee-chan, why are you suddenly saying such cruel words? The person you just insulted was Arata-san, right? He's not here..."
"That was him. Selina-chan, I was just cursing him from a distance because I was upset with him. Don't forget, you absolutely must not get close to that boy in the future."
"Uh.. umm okay, Onee-chan. You've said that before. I still remember it."
"Selina-chan is so cute~!"
Lieselote hugged Selina who had a helpless expression under the gazes of the other women including Mira who realized something and Levi who was increasingly convinced her guess was correct.
On the other side, Lilith's disgust was no less than Lieselote's because now she was watching Arata confronting her father.
Arata was overconfident. Although his intentions were not malicious like her father's, Lilith felt uncomfortable with what the boy thought of her.
She wondered how to make Arata stop chasing her? Still, her thoughts also drifted to Eiji's sword that was now poking into her stomach. She looked at Eiji's serious-looking face with an embarrassed expression.
Until when did this man want to hug her? The big thing inside his pants reacted in this situation, he was so perverted and shameless. Even so, Lilith who had fallen in love with him did not feel disgusted and did not hate him at all.
Lilith didn't realize that was also the case because at this point Eiji had accumulated a lot of positive points from her and it started accumulating before they came to this world. And compared to kissing and drinking his milk. These perverted acts were nothing.
There was a difference between receiving perverted actions from people you liked and disliked.
As for Eiji? He looked at Arata who was pointing a gun at Lilith's father with an amused look.
[In the face of absolute power, the ethics of martial arts are not needed unless I want to show off. But sure, Arata. I'll give you a chance to show off.]
[However, unlike in the original work where you can defeat Abyss Trinity with the help of Judecca and the four archives you have accessed so that you surpass Trinity.]
[Now Judecca is in my hands. You only accessed the Superbia and Invidia archives powered by your Magic King Element. You think you can defeat my father-in-law with just your current power?]
[Tsk. Arata, you are naive. Father-in-law, don't hesitate to teach that boy a lesson that above the sky there is still sky.]
Hearing what Eiji said in his heart. They were getting less and less optimistic about Arata.
Still, Eiji...
Instead of supporting Arata who is on our side, you are supporting Lilith's father who is on the opposite side. Well although many of them also did it a little.
Cough. And sure enough, Arata did not disappoint their expectations—
"You are the candidate for the Magic King of this world huh... That does make you my kouhai (junior)." Abyss Trinity held his chin with his hands that looked like monster claws. He had been analyzing Arata's magic before replying to the boy's words.
"But it's useless. Kouhai, you won't be able to beat me. Our level difference is quite far."
"Senpai, you won't know until you try! Take this– Meteo Punisher!"
Arata who was annoyed at being belittled by Lilith's father immediately fired magic from his gun.
It was an anti-magic attack that was familiar to Eiji and Trinity Seven.
Abyss Trinity stared at the dragon-shaped magic attack indifferently. He extended one of his hands and when Arata's attack touched it; it disappeared which made Arata and the women surprised.
"A small attack like this. I even-"
However, before Abyss Trinity finished his words. He frowned.
Arata who was standing in front of him suddenly turned into ten people who looked exactly like him and each surrounded him. They fired the same attacks as before from various directions.
The women were a little surprised as the self-splitting, or rather clone technique seemed familiar.
Wasn't that Levi's ninja technique? Come to think of it they had indeed heard that not long ago Arata had learned magic from that girl.
So this was the result of his training? Arata used magic from the Invidia archive to split himself into ten people who were each able to unleash their original power.
For most mages, this magic would be considered cheating.
However—
{Hahaha! Did you guys see this? Lilith, Akio and even you Lugh! This is the magic I learned from Levi. And unlike Levi whose clones' powers are not very strong. Mine is different, all my clones have the same power as my original self!}
{Although it can only last for fifteen seconds. With this even Lilith's father won't be able to withstand the full level attack of the ten Magic King Candidates. I won!}
The heroines were dumbfounded. It wasn't that they were amazed by the magic explained by Arata. After all they had seen more incredible magic from Eiji.
But...
[A clone is still a clone. How does it feel to be surrounded by ten Aratas? With Arata's personality, he could have used that magic to do perverted things to women. I'm honestly a little worried. I should tell Rias and the others to be more careful of Arata later.]
The perverted things Arata's magic can do...?
Except for cultured women like Rias, Utaha and Eriri. The other heroine were not sure what Eiji meant.
But they knew from now on they had to be more wary of Arata who could split himself into ten people or even more! And it wasn't impossible for the protagonist to extend the duration of his magic.
Arata didn't know the gaze Lilith and the other women were using was wariness towards him. He thought they were showering him with looks of admiration or even love, but he misunderstood.
He even misunderstood the Abyss Trinity whom he thought he had defeated after receiving a full-level attack that consumed 90% of his magic— the ten Meteo Punisher was blocked by a strange snake that suddenly appeared out of thin air and wrapped around the man.
When his attack came into contact with the snake, his attack again disappeared without causing any damage.
Arata's expression that was confident and sure of his victory collapsed. His face was pale from running out of magic and embarrassed from losing face in front of Lilith and the others. All his clones also began to disappear and he returned to being one person which made the women relieved.
Instead of being sad, they were actually happy that Arata had failed.
"N-No way! All my anti-magic attacks disappeared again? How?!"
"Kouhai, you're pushing your luck too much."
Abyss Trinity shook his head before grinning at everyone. The snake wrapped around his body was quite large and long.
The sight was quite frightening.
"My theme is 'Vanitas'. The concept of 'Death and Annihilation' to return everything to nothingness."
"Even your anti-magic, Kouhai. It is useless in the face of my theme."
Abyss Trinity's gaze fell on Lilith who was still in Eiji's arms.
"Now... Lilith, it's time for you to come with your father. Hurry up and get away from that boy before I kill him."
"I won't! I also won't let you use the key inside my body. Y-You're dangerous..."
Lilith firmly refused.
Of course Abyss Trinity knew the girl wasn't rebelling against her father but he was dumbfounded when he heard what the girl said.
"Wait, Lilith... You already know?"
[Hmm? This is strange, shouldn't Lilith not know she is the key her father wants?]
Eiji pretended as usual.
Lilith nodded and at the same time felt a little funny because Eiji was also surprised she knew it. The boy didn't know she could hear his inner voice after all.
She smiled fearlessly, especially when Eiji hugged her which made her father's lips twitch.
Arata who saw that scene felt sad.
"I know everything. All this time you've been waiting for me to come back here just to use me as a tool so you can open the gates of the other world, right? You did that to regain your original power as the Magic King of another world and wanted to destroy this world."
"That's why I won't let you succeed."
"As for killing my boyfriend? You won't be able to do it and I won't stay silent either."
Lilith broke away from Eiji's embrace and created dozens of anti-tank rifles that flew in the air with her magic
At this moment, Akio also began to activate her magic. Still, the way she looked at Abyss Trinity was like someone who wanted to ask something.
"Heh." Abyss Trinity who heard everything his daughter said covered his face with one of his hands and started laughing out loud. "Ahahaha! Interesting, even before I tell you. You already know why I wanted to take you. I don't know how you know it but..."
He glanced at Eiji who had just yawned coldly. "I've seen that your boyfriend is strong enough that he was able to break the barrier of this place and destroy many of my magic items. He's stronger than my kouhai."
Arata who heard this could not argue still he had the urge to vomit blood.
"However, compared to your father. He's still far from-"
Before Abyss Trinity finished his words. His pet, the dragon with fire-like scales that had been standing not far behind him since he fought with Arata suddenly lost its head.
The dragon's head exploded.
The bloody scene happened just as Eiji's red eyes glowed with an orange light like a sunset and released lasers that flew at the speed of light.
It was similar to light magic that made Lugh's eyes sparkle because she also used light magic. But this was the first time she saw someone release that magic from the eyes.
"Cool..."
Lugh wondered if she could learn to do that from Eiji?
However, that scene made Abyss Trinity widen his eyes.
"Father-in-law, you don't mind your big lizard losing its head, do you? To prevent you from running away, I killed it."
Eiji said with his eyes back to normal and stood in front of Lilith as if saying leave it to him.
As people who knew Eiji's power, Lilith and Akio nodded.
"It's just a demon dragon that I created with my magic when I was bored. I can create it again later... I certainly won't run away. What is light magic? Such things will also be useless in front of my theme."
"Nothingness swallows everything. Unless you have magic that surpasses the Magic King and physical strength capable of destroying the void. Whatever attacks you have will not be able to penetrate my defenses."
Abyss Trinity said arrogantly and even explained the weakness of his theme even though he had previously panicked a little because he reacted too late when Eiji unleashed his magic.
He was also strangely unable to analyze the boy's magic to find out his archives.
He didn't know it was useless because Eiji didn't use this world's magic system! And what he had just used wasn't even magic at all.
It was the release of pure solar energy from one of his character cards, BoBoiBoy Solar.
However, given the theme and his own power, Abyss Trinity still felt confident.
"Have you ever thought of every worst-case scenario? That's how a Magic King prepares for battle? I really don't believe it. Why did you go out of your way to brag about something so obvious to me?"
