Chereads / Saruyama Kenichi takes control / Chapter 28 - Zastin, the unlucky bodyguard

Chapter 28 - Zastin, the unlucky bodyguard

Who would have thought that I would end up in the infirmary....

When the guys heard that Lala was my fiancée they all started to release murderous intentions, honestly I was kind of surprised, although this is something that also happened in the original story, I never thought that these wimps would have the courage to try to fight me after I released my intimidation.

In less than a second more than 100 of them jumped on me to try to hit me, if it had been Rito or any other Ecchi anime protagonist I would have most likely escaped, but unfortunately for these guys I had no intention of playing along with this stupidity and that's how I ended up here bringing all those brave soldiers who had a dignified death on the battlefield little by little.

Mikado: "My goodness~ What were they doing?"

Kenichi: "Too bad all these guys had a tragic accident, that's why I'm kindly bringing them to the infirmary, Mikado-sensei."

Mikado: "Are you sure it was just an accident~ Most of them have fist marks and various wounds from blows."

Kenichi: "Actually I don't know, when I found them they were already lying on the ground in this state."

In front of me was Mikado Ryouko, an attractive woman with short red hair, green eyes and fair skin. Her hair being abundant, allows her to hide her ears that in her case are pointed and similar to those of the elves, possibly something characteristic of her species. She was wearing a pink shirt tied with a white ribbon at the waist, very short blue pants, very long blue stockings and a robe.

She is one of the school's doctors and is also a famous and universally recognized doctor, as far as I know from the anime she treats aliens who are sick on earth.

This mature and seductive woman is currently asking me questions playfully while touching my muscles.

Chisato: "Mikado-sensei please take it seriously, there are many injured students here? Also stop touching this student so inappropriately"

Mikado: "I can't help it~ It's the first time since I've been a doctor that I've seen a body as perfect as this, just look at these muscles Chisato-sensei, don't you think they're impressive!"

This is Hasegawa Chisato, she is an incredibly beautiful woman with black hair that reaches her hips and has bangs falling on her right side with two chokes on the top of her head, she has green eyes, a mole under her left eye, she also wears round red glasses, she also has breasts just as big as Mikado-sensei's, she was wearing a white doctor's coat with a green sweater underneath, she also had a short skirt and black stockings.

If this nurse is here, that means Shinmai Maou no Testamente is also part of this world.... Damn, and here I was glad that this school didn't have DxD characters. Just like Mikado-sensei who has a backstory she also has one, her real name is Afureia a former high ranking Goddess among the ten Gods of the Divine Realm and she is also a relative of Toujou Basara the protagonist of that story.

I'm a little surprised that she tells Mikado-sensei not to touch me inappropriately when she laid hands on her cousin Raphaeline's son in her story.

Chisato: "Well... That I won't deny, it's true that she has a very fit body"

Kenichi: (These women are so focused on looking at my body that they've been ignoring all these guys for a while now.... Well I can't blame them either, I'd be lazy to deal with so many people too)

Tachibana: "Now that you say so it's true, I'm the one who usually takes care of the physical examination of the boys every year and this is the first time I've seen a teenager with a body like this."

This is Tachibana Chizuru, she is a woman of average height and is quite beautiful, she has light gray hair down to her neck, she also has bangs that cover the left side of her face with a single strand of hair sticking out, her eyes are light gray and she has a slender figure with a large bust. Her work attire consists of a black blouse under a white lab coat along with cuffed denim jeans and black heels with ankle strap.

She is another character from Nande Koko ni Sensei Ga, despite her attractive appearance she is a rather expressionless woman with a rather cold personality, even right now she is quietly reading a book while ignoring the wounded, this earned her the nickname "Absolute Zero Tachibana", although from what I know of the story she really wants to be friendly with the students, but that personality just doesn't fit her well.

Among these three you could say that she is the only one who is normal, she is just a grown woman with insecurities.... Come to think of it what's wrong with this school, we have three women in charge of the infirmary, plus most of the teachers are women, hopefully there are like five male teachers in the whole school including the principal.

Kenichi: "They shouldn't check their wounds."

Tachibana: "Let them heal themselves, I'm more interested in reading this book."

Chisato: "At the end of the day they are just passed out, their injuries are no big deal, just let them rest until they wake up and go to their classes"

Mikado: "That's right~ That's right~ By the way Saruyama-kun, would you let me give you a physical examination, I'm really intrigued by how your body works, when I heard the rumor I got interested, but now that I see you well certainly your body is not at all normal"

Chisato: (It's not just that, even though it's very little, I can feel him releasing magical power, his control is incredible, I bet others ne would easily notice.... I just hope he doesn't have bad intentions against Basara).

These women are really carefree, I decided to accept Mikado-sensei's proposal for later, it's not a bad thing for a doctor like her to examine my body, besides she has enough knowledge about different types of aliens, so it's a good idea to keep in touch with her, the same goes for Chisato-sensei, although in the story she only helped Basara it's not a bad idea to keep good relations with her.

After that I left the infirmary while walking with Lala, I took the opportunity to show her all around the school, in the walk several students looked at us but unlike the others these were just curious, I have to admit that talking with Lala was quite funny, she was a genius girl who could build almost anything but she behaved like a curious little girl, she asked me excitedly about anything she saw.

Then it was time for me to go back to class, during that time Lala was exploring the school on her own.

Shuu: "So~ Kenichi, that beautiful girl from earlier is really your fiancée~"

This bastard, I think I understand now why Miyamoto is so quick to get irritated with him, when all those guys jumped on me he was all the time in the back provoking them to jump more violently.

Kenichi: "You could say that if.... It's a bit complicated to explain, but his family situation is a bit special."

Raku: "Hmm... It's quite rare for situations like engagements to happen these days."

Don't act so carefree Raku, it's going to be your turn soon, I'm already looking forward to seeing your expression when you have to pretend to be Chitoge's boyfriend, in the anime it looked funny I'm already looking forward to seeing it in reality.

Shuu: "But still~ It seemed like your relationship with her was quite close, you even took her hand so affectionately and openly declared that she was your fiancée~"

Kenichi: "You could say that yes, she has lived most of her time at home with private tutors, plus since her parents were busy all the time aside from her sisters she hasn't had many opportunities to make friends, that's why she's somewhat naive and lacks common sense, there's never a shortage of guys who want to take advantage of girls with that kind of personality.... That's why you could say I did it to mark my territory."

Shuu: "As expected from Kenichi-sensei~ You have to give me some lessons."

Kenichi: "Don't worry Shuu-kun, did you forget that I'm the guy who beat up in less than five minutes more than a hundred guys, I still remember how you were in the back inciting them while laughing, that's why I have a very good lesson waiting for you just wait for the right time."

When Shuu heard me he started sweating and shaking in an exaggerated way, in Nisekoi's story he played mysterious with that whole Kyoko-sensei thing, that's why there are quite a few ways to play jokes on him.

Raku: "But still... Are you sure about this Kenichi, I thought you were interested in Kato-san, I even saw that you have a very good relationship with Sairenji-san and Yukana-san... That's why I thought you were going out with one of them."

Wow, this is pretty weird, even though Raku is pretty nice, he's usually pretty dense with romantic relationships like most of the main characters, even in the story when Shuu told him that Onodera was in love with him, he denied it saying that it was impossible for her to have that kind of feelings for him, so it's pretty weird that he's so perspective with this.

Kenichi: "Although I won't deny that I have a good relationship with them, in the end it's just a friendship relationship, besides I'm just getting to know Lala, even if I openly declare that she's my fiancée it's still too early to assume that we're going to get married in the future."

Shuu: "That's quite true~ Although in your case forming a Harem every man's dream doesn't seem like something impossible~"

Raku: "H-Harem!?"

Kenichi: "Hooo~ Seems like our good friend Raku knows some things about it about the Harem, why don't you tell us about it?"

Shuu: "That's right~ As the only son of a Yakuza family you must be quite familiar with the term~"

Raku: "Y-You..."

After our usual banter it was time for lunch, this time I decided to have lunch together with Lala on the rooftop.

Kenichi: "You had fun while exploring the school Lala"

Lala: "Yes! It's a really fun place, I was even playing with some girls from a so-called game club, we had quite a good time, they even had a card game about aliens, they were quite fun! According to the director I'm going to be able to transfer in a few days, I'm already looking forward to it! I'm going to be able to spend a lot more time with Kenichi!

I see, so he was playing with the girls from the game club (Provisional), come to think of it those girls are the type that would get along with Lala.

After we finished eating Lala rested her head on my lap while I stroked her hair, we were like that for a few minutes until Lala got up and started kissing me, lately our kisses have changed, before we were obsessed with kissing each other in a lewd way, but now just kissing in a normal way while hugging each other we are fine.

Peke: (At first I was a little worried.... But unexpectedly Saruyama-sama turned out to be the ideal partner for Lala-sama, he is not only sympathetic to her, he also helps her with her inventions and appreciates her a lot.... Who would have thought that an earthling from such a remote planet would be the right one, besides, from what we saw last night he is quite strong... The only problem is that it's a bit awkward for a third party to see their love interactions, I'm a robot but even I feel nervous about this scene).

Kirara: "Kyuu... Kyuu... Kyuu..."

When we finished Kirara came out of my soul and started playing with Lala while she hugged her, unexpectedly Kirara got attached to Lala right away, it must be because our souls are connected.

Lala: "Hahahaha, that tickles Kirara, come here!"

After that it was time for us to go home, Lala and I were walking all the time while holding hands completely ignoring the looks everyone was giving us.

Boy: "Look mom, those two are holding hands in public!"

Mom: "Ah~ But what memories, in the past your father and I were like that too".

Boy #1: "It's just my imagination or I can see a pink aura around him."

Boy #2: "You're not imagining things, I can even see flowers and rainbows around her."

I was showing him various parts of the city, everything was so lively, of course we ignored the Yakuzas casually running past with their Katanas, the Gangsters shooting their guns and the director running past half naked while chasing some Gal looking girls.

Everything was pretty quiet until we got to the riverbank.

Lala: "Kenichi! Let's hurry back home to play one of these video games!"

Kenichi: "You really quite liked these games."

Lala: "Yes! They're a lot of fun-"

Zastin: "PRINCESS LALA!"

While we were having fun, suddenly we heard someone shouting Lala's name, when we turned around we saw Zastin, Lala's personal bodyguard as well as her guinea pig, for some reason he looked quite haggard and tired, plus a dog was biting his leg.

Lala: "Zastin!!"

Zastin: "Phew.... I was finally able to find it, I went through a lot of trouble to find it, I was arrested by some guys calling themselves policemen, I was crushed by a group of armed men called Yakuzas, a dog chased me and I was lost looking everywhere.... That's why I don't like underdeveloped planets like this one.... HOWEVER!!"

Zastin: "THIS IS MY DUTY AS YOUR BODYGUARD!! PRINCESS LALA, YOU MUST RETURN WITH ME TO THE PLANET DEVILUKE!!!"

Apparently this guy is as unlucky as in the anime, but he's not a bad guy, with his strength he could have just forcibly advanced, but he even let himself be arrested by the police.... By the way, it seems he still hasn't realized that he's got that dog biting his leg.

Lala: "I'm not going back home!! Besides I don't have any need to have marriage proposals anymore!!"

Zastin: "You do not need them! What do you mean princess Lala!!!?"

Lala: "He is Kenichi!!! I am in love with him, so from now on I am going to stay with him living on earth!!! That's why I don't want you to bother me again about my suitors!!!"

The moment Lala told him that, he just stared at me with a serious face.

Zastin: "Hmm... I see, so that's the guy who defeated my men, they said an earthling stopped them and that's why they had to retreat!"

Lala: "That's right!! Now that you know, I want you to go back home and tell my dad!!! I don't plan on going back, and I have no intention of meeting any of the candidates he chose either!!"

Zastin was silent for a few seconds, until he finally spoke.

Zastin: "No... This is not so simple... I, Zastin, have received a direct order from the King of Deviluke to bring her back.... I will not be able to see the King's face if I return in this way, let alone if I approve of Princess Lala's engagement to an unknown earthling."

It's a ridiculous and unfortunate character, but you can feel the conviction in his words, besides this is a very good opportunity for me to develop my sword skills, I don't feel comfortable letting swords as good as Elucidator, Dark Repulser and Sandai Kitetsu get dusty in storage.

Kenichi: "Your name is Zastin, right?"

Zastin: "That's right Earthling."

Kenichi: "For starters, stop calling me an earthling, your men should have already told you that I'm not an ordinary human.... Although I can understand your position as Lala's bodyguard and also your loyalty to her father, this is something that Lala and I already decided, even if the King of Deviluke himself comes here he won't make us change our minds.... I know it sounds strange that after only two days of meeting her I'm claiming to be her fiancé, but I'm completely sure that I'm in love with her..."

Kenichi: "That's why, if you plan to take Lala completely ignoring what she wants, I'm going to fight you..."

The moment I said that I pulled Elucidator out of storage and pointed it towards Zastin, he at first seemed surprised by my words, but after a few seconds he smiled slightly proceeded to pull out a strangely shaped bone that released a sort of sword made of green light.

Zastin: "I'm sorry for my words Kenichi, it seems that I was really underestimating you, but I could feel the sincerity of your words, that's why as the bodyguard of Deviluke's royal family I will test if you are a man worthy of being the future husband of princess Lala."

We were both fully ready to launch into the attack, but as if to break the tension....

Lala: "Kenichi! That was amazing! Where did you get that sword!!! Do you have a device that works like my D-Dial to store things!"

Kenichi: "..."

Zastin: "..."

Lala's animated voice completely broke the tension of the moment.

*Narrator's POV*

Kenichi: "You could say yes, later I will explain everything, first let me defeat Zastin, honestly I don't think they will leave us alone until I show my strength, don't worry I will try to finish fast so we can go back home to eat something delicious and play some video games, could you wait for me please"

Lala: "Yes~! Make sure you defeat him Kenichi!"

For some reason at that moment Zastin felt quite uncomfortable, it's as if suddenly Lala and Kenichi had entered their own world full of rainbows and roses that no one could enter, even though they had barely just met they were already acting like a newlywed couple, even when Kenichi mentioned that he was going to defeat Zastin, Lala at no time doubted his words.

Zastin: (What's going on? I haven't even seen the King and the ex-Queen act like this? Not to begin with, that's really Princess Lala, that girl who wasn't interested in anything but creating inventions.)

Zastin couldn't help but be surprised at the sight of Lala acting so happy while hugging Kenichi, it was such a rare sight that anyone who knew Lala would be surprised.

Kenichi: "Okay, you're ready Zastin."

Zastin: "Y-Yes."

This time they were no longer with detours, both jumped at the same time ready to clash their swords, at the moment when their swords touched a small shock wave was created that raised a large amount of dust, at this moment Kenichi was not using Busoshoku, he was only using the normal strength of his body with the proportional increase that gave his sword, in the same way Zastin also did not attack with all his strength, at this moment their strength was quite equal.

Instantly they began to thrust their swords while cutting everything around them, it was a quick exchange, in a fraction of seconds they had already clashed their swords more than 50 times, they were equal both in strength and speed and skill.

But it was noticeable that Zastin had the advantage, not only he had much more experience, his sword was two-handed, also as it was of light he could enlarge and reduce its size at will, Kenichi's was a one-handed sword ideal to be used while using a shield on the other.

Zastin: (It's impressive... He's obviously a rookie, but he's already able to match me in skill, plus his physical condition is incredible he effortlessly receives my attacks that are able to cut through the hardest steel with ease.... Besides that sword is not normal either, not only is it capable of resisting my attacks but also when it shines it can cause quite powerful attacks).

Zastin was impressed, he even came to wonder if Kenichi was really an earthling, in space people who could give him such a fight with a sword could be counted on the fingers of their hands. He also realized that with each exchange Kenichi's skill was getting better and better.

The fight intensified, although it seemed to be a long exchange, not even three minutes had passed since they began to fight, until the fight took an unexpected turn, Kenichi raised his left hand and with a similar brightness to the previous one took Dark Repulser out of storage.

The moment Kenichi pulled out that sword, Zastin was completely overpowered, if he gave 20 cuts Kenichi gave 50, his ability was incredible, with one sword he blocked Zastin's attacks and with the other he attacked, at this moment Zastin was no longer holding back, he was using the maximum of his strength, but still he could not keep up with Kenichi's movements, they were like a beautiful but dangerous dance capable of cutting anything.

Zastin: (How can you fight like that? It's the first time in a long time that I've been pushed like that, it's an incredible skill.... Also seeing as he doesn't look tired yet he's not giving it his all...)

The moment Zastin said that, he noticed that both swords started to glow, the moment he noticed he immediately took distance, but Kenichi didn't let him, using Soru he appeared directly in front of Zastin and started swinging both swords in perfect synchrony.

Kenichi: "STARBURST STREAM!!!"

At that moment Zastin received a barrage of slashes from different angles, he tried with all his might, but with luck he could only defend himself from a few cuts, his armor was a mess with cuts everywhere, Kenichi made sure to only damage his armor, at no time did it occur to him to cut him or kill him.

When Kenichi's attack ended Zastin's sword went flying, while he had Dark Repulser aiming for his neck.

Zastin: "Haa.... Haa... Haa... Haa... I surrender..."

At that moment the best swordsman in all the Galaxy shamelessly admitted defeat, Kenichi had completely earned his respect as a swordsman and as a man.

Kenichi: "Haa... Haa... Thank you Zastin, that was a very good experience, thanks to you I was able to become stronger"

Zastin: "Hahaha.... You flatter me Kenichi, I could perfectly see your strength and your determination to stand by Princess Lala, this is my complete defeat.... I don't know if all those candidates from all over the universe will agree, but don't worry, I will inform the King myself.... That you are a man completely worthy of Princess Lala."

Lala: "Kenichi~! You did it! You defeated Zastin! How did you do those moves!? They looked so cool!"

Kenichi greeted Lala with a hug as he stroked her hair and began to explain as Zastin left with a happy smile.

Kenichi: "Hey, Zastin... Be careful it's dangerous out there that's-"

Zastin: "Hmm... Dangerous? Don't worry, there's nothing in this universe that can hurt me that easy-"

At that moment Zastin didn't realize that he was walking calmly along the train tracks and just before he finished speaking a train passed by at high speed as it ran over him without any difficulty.

The crash sent him flying a long distance while he was spinning around quite comically, until he crashed into a wall, only his legs could be seen.

Kenichi: "He's going to be fine".

Lala: "Don't worry, it's just the usual, but more importantly! Let's hurry back home Kenichi!"

Kenichi: (From the story I already knew that this always happened to him, but seeing it live and direct is another story.... And when he goes to remove that dog, the poor thing has been stuck biting his leg since the beginning).

Kenichi decided to simply ignore that at some point he respected Zastin and left while holding Lala's hand.
