Mio and Maria

"This is really real."

In the toilet, Basara clenched his fists, the flow of power in his body was obvious, he could control his rusty muscles from not practicing for six years with ease. Now if he wanted to, he felt he could pull out his Brynhildr sword without worrying about getting out of control.

Before coming to the toilet and talking to the system, the other party assured his authenticity by giving him a starter pack.

[Absolute Control]

In addition to perfectly controlling his muscles, bones, internal organs, and all parts of his body. This ability also allowed him to better control his power.

Previously due to past trauma and difficulty controlling his own power, Basara often held back in every fight. But with this ability, he now no longer had to worry about his power getting out of control and hurting the people around him.

Basara was so happy, he began to trust this system a little.

[Now you believe, right? But that's nothing! As long as you complete each quest of the system, you will get more rewards!]

"Can I choose the rewards in each quest?"

[No, it's random. Host, please don't be too greedy. I know you want something that can revive your friends, but you have to be patient for that.]

Basara understood, he was just trying whether or not he could get what he wanted most quickly. And it seemed that no, he really had to be patient for that.

For now...

"You keep talking about quests. Is there a quest I can do now?"

[Ding! The system has released a quest!]

[Quest: When coming out of the toilet, you must pretend to be unwell. Use your hand to cover your crotch until you and your friends exit the cafe.

Reward: Your Gravity Magic is upgraded to intermediate level.

Time limit: Must start 30 seconds from now.

Penalty for failing to complete the quest: System will be disabled for three months]

"There's a penalty if I fail to complete the quest?" Basara's expression looked a little ugly, but the reward of the quest was indeed quite tempting.

It was just that what he had to do to complete the quest was a bit strange.

Why did he have to pretend to be unwell and even cover his crotch?

[Yes, every quest from the system has a penalty if it fails to be completed. And this happens to be your first quest.]

[Although the quest is strange, you should get used to it because every quest in the future will also be equally strange.]

Basara suddenly felt cheated, he knew the quest was actually easy to complete. But the key was, embarrassingly coming out of the toilet while covering his own crotch with his hand.

Other people aside, Yuuki and Eiji must have felt something was wrong with him, right?

In the end after arguing a bit with his system, Basara who realized that he had been in the toilet for too long finally got out of there.

Because of the [Absolute Control] ability, it was not difficult to make his expression look a little troubled naturally. There was also one hand pressed on his crotch as he hurriedly walked back to the table occupied by Yuuki and Eiji.

"Yuuki, Eiji. Sorry for making you guys wait so long."

Yuuki, Mio, and Maria were stunned to see Basara who finally returned from the toilet.

Eiji pretended to look at Basara with pity which made Yuuki even more convinced that what the boy said about Basara's illness was true.

The most convincing was actually the expression Basara was making right now and his hand that inexplicably kept pressing his crotch, even after he sat back down.

If it was stomach pain, Basara should have pressed his stomach.

But why was he pressing his crotch?

Yuuki bit her lips, she tried to convince herself that Basara was not like that.

Even so...

"Basara, you took so long. Yuuki and I almost finished our fries."

"Yuuki?" Basara frowned, he saw a plate of fries almost finished on the table, he casually ate one, looking at Eiji and Yuuki before saying: "You guys seem to be getting closer when I go to the toilet."

Not knowing why, Basara was a little uncomfortable.

He quickly dismissed the feeling, really. There was nothing wrong with someone calling Yuuki by his first name, why was he a little bothered? He should be happy that his two friends had a better relationship.

Eiji nodded, he reached out his hand to hold Yuuki's shoulder in front of Basara. "You're not wrong. Yuuki and I happen to be compatible. So after chatting and eating together for a while we both got along quickly."

Basara widened his eyes. "Really? That's good."

"Yes, it's very good." Eiji said with a faint smile, his hand still holding Yuuki's soft and fragrant shoulder.

Yuuki didn't react to the obscene hand holding her shoulder, she was still in shock and couldn't believe Basara was really suffering from such a serious illness.

He asked Basara while ignoring Eiji who touched him. "Basara, does your stomach hurt? You were in the toilet for so long earlier."

Hearing this, Basara seemed hesitant to answer. He couldn't tell the truth of course, especially about the system and the quest because the system also said he had to keep his existence a secret. If not, the system threatened again that he would go find another host.

To be honest if it wasn't for the system saying it could give him something to revive his friends. Basar wouldn't be so interested in this system, he was still confident that he could increase his own power.

But because of that, he decided to stick around to complete the strange quest the system gave him.

"Yes, my stomach did hurt a bit earlier. But it's fine now. Let's stop talking about this." Basara said with smile and slightly raised eyebrows.

As a childhood friend, Yuuki knew it was Basara's habit whenever he lied, she tried to convince herself, but it seemed Basara really...

One of his hands also inexplicably kept pressing his crotch under the table.

Yuuki felt a little dizzy.

After they finished finishing their drinks and food at the cafe.

"Eiji, Yuuki. See you again tomorrow."

Basara waved his hand, he said goodbye to Eiji and Yuuki who were standing in front of the cafe.

Now that he no longer had to press his hand on his crotch, he looked normal which made Yuuki have a little hope.

Maybe she misunderstood?

"Un, see you again tomorrow, Basara."

Yuuki smiled a little even though her face was expressionless. What happened so far made her forget her dissatisfaction about Basara who still wanted to keep the Demon King's daughter and the Succubus in his house.

Eiji only waved slightly at Basara and after the protagonist had completely left. He looked at Yuuki who was still staring at the direction of the protagonist's departure.

[Now Basara should no longer feel pain in his little brother. In the original work, in fact, that symptom didn't appear often, but the side effects should still be the same.]

[I remember it's because there are so many kinds of power from dragons, gods, etc. inside his body. Basara's body is more complicated than an ordinary person so his body functions are not completely normal even though he has tremendous power potential.]

[Pity Yuuki, Mio, Maria and the other heroine in that franchise. They can't be mothers.]

[But whatever, it's none of my business. It's time to go home! Asia and Grayfia must have cooked a nice dinner at home. Lala, Rias, Akeno and the others are also waiting at home.]

"Yuuki, I'm leaving too. Be careful on your way home." Eiji said as he turned around and started walking towards his house.

Wooing Yuuki was enough for today, he should also leave the girl alone while pondering about Basara's flaws. Based on Yuuki in the original work, Eiji knew what he was doing right now was not enough to make the girl completely give up on pursuing Basara.

He still had to do a few more things in the future.

By the way there were no wild demons attacking like in the original work after they came out of the cafe. Eiji didn't know why, maybe because he killed Lars? In the original work that guy also might have intentionally provoked the wild demons to test Basara's power a little.

Now Lars was dead, so the wild demon attacks that suddenly appeared didn't exist either.

Yuuki opened her mouth, she wanted to say something to Eiji, but she didn't because she was at a loss of what to say, especially after hearing his inner voice.

Before leaving, she stared into the cafe for a while then snorted and actually left from there.

Although she couldn't solve the problem of the disease Basara had, she thought she could solve the other problems Basara had like the Demon King's daughter and that Succubus by killing them.

But thinking Basara would probably hate her for this, Yuuki in the end gave up on doing so.

"At least not now... I have to wait for these two to show their true colors to Basara."

Yuuki still didn't believe Mio and Maria, she thought those two just wanted to take advantage of Basara and had bad intentions towards him.

The two people talked about, Mio and Maria also finally came out of the cafe after the three people had completely left.

Mio was a beautiful young woman whose height was slightly above average with waist-length crimson hair and pink eyes. For a high school girl, she had a very slender yet curvaceous figure with large, supple breasts and a large butt.

With a school uniform, short skirt, and long black socks that reach halfway up her plump thighs. Worthy of being the main heroine of her franchise, she is very pretty and has an almost identical appearance to Rias!

If the two crimson-haired girls were put together in one bedroom, just thinking about it made Eiji feel very excited.

Eiji hadn't actually left yet, with invisibility magic, he walked back to the cafe and looked at the sullen Mio.

The girl was staring at Yuuki's back in the distance with a hostile gaze that made her big chest bounce slightly.

"Hum! Nonaka is so hostile to us, but she doesn't seem to dare to do anything. Isn't she afraid?"

"Um... Mio-sama, I think that girl is just worried about being hated by Basara if she dares to attack us. After all judging from the way she looks at Basara, she seems to like that boy."

"I know, she's also Basara's childhood friend. But so what? Nonaka continues to be prejudiced against us."

"But Mio-sama, she's not wrong, after all we were originally thinking of..."

"Okay enough, let's go home. The original plan doesn't seem to need to be continued anymore. For the time being we'll pretend not to know and stay with Basara."

"Yes Mio-sama!"

Maria followed the crimson-haired girl and walked beside her. Unlike Mio, Maria had the figure of a beautiful petite girl with long silver hair and violet eyes most of the time in human form. She was seen wearing a mostly black dress that had white frills and what looked like a functional keyhole on the collar, where her magic key was meant to be inserted, black leggings, and boots with purple hearts.

Except for the slightly larger Mikan, this was actually Eiji's first time seeing a loli heroine and he had to admit it was very cute. Even so, he still liked the bigger ones. He was not a pedophile, but he remembered that in the original work, in her succubus form, Maria could transform into a mature old woman with a curvaceous figure, large breasts exceeding Mio, and taller and slimmer than Yuki.

In essence, she could transform from Loli to a super-hot Onee-san who was very resilient in bed.

Although Basara's harem in the original work is not that big, the beauties in the group are very unique and exotic.

Which man can stand it?

Because both of them live in Basara's house.

Although Eiji had also installed a sub-system on Basara to prevent some unwanted accidents like in the original work, he also cast some magic on Mio and Maria without them knowing.

Now even if Basara suddenly became a perverted protagonist who wanted to attack Mio and Maria, Eiji didn't have to worry because that protagonist wouldn't be able to touch the two.

From the very beginning, the reason why he came back again to the cafe was actually just to install a safety guard for Mio and Maria.

After that he had completely left.

"Mio-sama, what do you think about Eiji Seiya?" Maria didn't realize what Eiji was doing.

Mio too, the girl didn't realize anything. Her face flushed slightly when Eiji's name was mentioned, unfortunately Eiji had already completely returned to his home by then.

"Eiji? Hum! He's...not bad." Mio sounded tsundere.

Maria smiled seductively. "Not bad? He's so handsome! Mio-sama, if you want why don't we change our target to him~"

"Maria, what are you saying?! No, even if he is very handsome. That guy..." Mio gritted her teeth. "He's a bastard!"

"Bastard?" Maria tilted her little head in confusion.

"Did you forget what he last said in his inner voice? He's excited to have fun with the women who live in his house!"

Well... Maria of course remembered what Eiji said before she and Yuuki parted ways. Actually long before that too, she and Mio already knew he had a harem filled with many women.

And all those women were the heroine who had been helped by him!

Maria had certainly proposed to Mio to find Eiji and ask for his help, but she didn't know why. Mio insisted on targeting Basara.

Maybe because Basara was the protagonist and Mio was the main heroine so she was more interested in the former? Maria was not sure.

Now the two were living in the Toujou Family's house as a pair of sisters.

But speaking of harems, weren't they also potential members of Basara's harem? Actually just yesterday she and Mio got to know Basara, Maria's impression of the boy was not bad either.

Eiji even said in his inner voice that as the protagonist Basara was not bad. It's just that he has a problem with his little brother that makes Maria hesitate.

Actually after hearing that Basara would protect her and Mio, even after knowing their identities. Maria was also moved, but because of the problems Basara's little brother had.

She hesitated to make a contract with him!
