The morning of our second day on the school trip, right after breakfast and leaving the hotel, I laid down the law with the trio.
"Listen up you three. Day three we're just hitting some souvenir shops and heading straight home, so today you're gonna actually visit the sights properly. I don't want to hear that you spent the whole day hitting on girls."
"Shut up! Die! Traitor!"
Stop harmonizing, Matsuda and Motohama.
"Speaking of which, what happened to lady Kuroka from yesterday? She's not your girlfriend, right? So you could introduce us... come on, we're best friends, aren't we?"
Issei gave me this pathetic horny look while saying that.
"I really didn't want to hear the word best friends from someone making that disgusting face... I don't know where she is. If she feels like it, she'll probably meet up with us later."
I tried sensing for her ki, but she was still in her hotel room. Makes sense—she's a devil, so she probably doesn't want to force herself to get up early.
"Sweet! If she's meeting up with us, I'm definitely gonna get close to her!"
"Hold on Issei, I won't let you get ahead of me. And don't forget our dream! Our dream is a harem! Let's have a rematch from yesterday!"
"Right! I want to have a girl on each arm by the time we meet up with her."
I never actually said she was definitely meeting up with us, but they're already getting their hopes up. Also, Matsuda, where the hell does that confidence come from?
"God, please bless me with a cute girlfriend!"
"Wait up, Issei! I'm praying first! I want an even cuter girlfriend!"
"I'm never giving up my dibs on lolis!"
After visiting Kiyomizu Temple—famous for people jumping off it—we came to nearby Jishu Shrine, which is famous for matchmaking. The three of them went charging ahead with their desires on full display. Since we're in a world where gods actually exist, I'm pretty sure divine punishment is gonna hit them... though there are perverted ones too, so maybe they've got a shot?
Also, Motohama, what you just said is literally a crime.
The tourists around us were chuckling at the first two, but when Motohama dropped his loli comment, their expressions shifted to pure disgust.
Completely oblivious to this, the three of them performed weirdly elegant worship rituals and prayed with single-minded devotion, trying to boost their luck with the opposite sex.
After finishing their prayers, they decided to try the famous love fortune stones in the shrine grounds.
The love fortune stones are a pair of stones about 30 feet apart. If you can walk from one stone to the other with your eyes closed, your love will supposedly come true. But those three kept tripping over nothing, bumping into other tourists, and sabotaging each other just when one of them was about to reach the goal. They must've tried over ten times and never made it. Of course you're not gonna make it if you keep getting in each other's way.
"Then it's fortune slips! I'm gonna get the best luck! One that says 'You'll get a girlfriend today and become a winner!'"
Matsuda, I don't think they make fortune slips that specific...
The four of us drew our fortunes, but predictably, groans of despair quickly followed.
"No... no way..."
"Impossible! This can't be right! I prayed so hard!"
"Damn it! Did you guys all get terrible luck too?"
As expected, all three of them got the worst possible fortune. As for me...
"Small luck'.. I guess."
Pretty mediocre... but it says things will gradually improve, so maybe that's good?
"Even small luck is fine! Trade with me!"
Shut up, Issei! You're gonna have a harem of good fortune in three years anyway, so I've got zero sympathy for you!
"Besides, trading wouldn't change anything. And make sure you tie up those bad fortune slips before you leave."
After visiting several more famous spots and eating lunch, Kuroka showed up.
And of course, their dream of having a girl on each arm didn't come true. The three of them jumped at the chance to sell themselves to Kuroka, but she just hit them with: "Hmm, if I had to pick a boyfriend, I'd choose Ikki over you guys."
"Why?! What's good about this closet pervert?!"
Alright Issei, you're gonna pay for that later!
"Women are attracted to strong men, more or less. Ikki's just okay right now, but his potential is perfect♪"
"You mean fighting?! Muscles?! W-we're pretty strong too! Getting punched, kicked, thrown around, and chased by Ikki has made us stronger!"
"That's right! At first, there were other people besides Ikki trying to stop our peeping, but now we can take down anyone except Ikki!"
Issei and Matsuda were saying some pretty awful stuff—but they were right. I'd been underestimating these three guys' passion for perverted stuff.
They want to peep! They want to have perverted conversations! But when I stand in their way as an obstacle, they come at me with all their perverted enthusiasm and focus.
Motohama was just okay since he's naturally bad at sports, but Issei and Matsuda—especially Matsuda—their growth has been insane.
In the anime he seemed like a scrawny guy, but this dude's surprisingly athletic.
In PE class, he's broken several school records... I think the teacher even asked him to join the track team part-time.
There's no way this guy could reincarnate as just a Pawn devil.
I had this sinking feeling that while accidentally strengthening the original characters, I'd made some terrible mistake... I quietly vowed to dump the whole situation on the student council if Saji ended up at Kuoh Academy.
While I was thinking about all this, evening came. We were planning to visit Fushimi Inari Shrine last before taking the train back to Kyoto Station, when suddenly it started raining even though the sky was clear.
"Great."
When I complained, Issei looked confused.
"Rain? It's not raining. What are you talking about, Ikki?"
"Huh?"
