Sure enough.
The man was interested in Saki!
Many heroines are numb.
One of them—
[Sona: I won't be surprised anymore by something like this but girls... You who are participating in the Bunkasai Queen selection contest, are you ready?]
Right after Eiji's inner voice sounded.
It happened to be the time when she had just finished saying the opening words for the Bunkasai King and Queen contest as the student council president.
Sona couldn't help but send a message in the group chat.
The girls who participated in the Bunkasai Queen election contest started sending messages excitedly.
Actually Eiji's girls didn't really care about who became the Bunkasai Queen, what they cared about was proving who was the most beautiful among them in this contest.
That was the point!
Back to when Eiji had just laughed at Hachiman.
"Hachiman, you want to be the Bunkasai King?"
Eiji feigned surprise and looked at the boy he was referring to with admiration.
"Shut up! You know I'm not interested in that kind of thing."
Hachiman's face became a little grim.
He knew Eiji was making fun of him and that was what upset him.
No one else knew but he was here because Eiji wanted him to help him get acquainted with Saki.
This bastard treated him as his wingman which made him helpless... Of course, he wanted to refuse because even without his help, he felt Eiji could seduce Saki.
But alas, he did not dare to refuse him after seeing that smile that made him shudder.
Still, why bother asking for his help?
Obviously Eiji just wanted to bully him!
"If you're not here to fill out the registration form, Hikigaya. Don't waste my time."
Hearing Eiji and Hachiman's conversation, Saki was not so gentle that she wanted to drive the two away.
She's a busy person, okay?
Today she was invited by the student council to be one of the organizers because they lacked a little manpower.
The student council president, Sona was generous and rich. She will pay the students who are willing to help the student council.
The pay was also good.
For Saki whose family had economic problems, this was a good opportunity to earn extra money apart from her several part-time jobs.
Hachiman was not surprised by Saki's cold words because that was the Saki he knew— other than appearing cold and distanced from others, she was a straightforward girl.
That's why she's a loner!
Hachiman glanced at Eiji.
{You heard that, Eiji? Are you sure you can seduce Saki? Just give up. This girl's defenses are too high.}
However...
He was a little disappointed that the boy didn't look surprised and was still smiling.
[Hachiman, you underestimate me. Have you forgotten what Yukino was like before meeting me? She was cold inside and out but after I broke through her defenses, her insides became very hot.]
Yukino: Eiji, what nonsense are you saying?!
She was embarrassed because even though it was true...
Can't you say it in a more normal way?
You sound perverted!
"Ahem." Eiji pretended to cough.
His action certainly caught Saki's attention so they looked at each other.
"You're Saki Kawasaki, right? I'm Hachiman's friend, Eiji Seiya."
"I know, you're very famous in this school... Seiya-san. How do you know my full name? Did Hikigaya tell you?"
"Yes, Hachiman told me."
Saki frowned and looked at Hachiman coldly.
She didn't seem happy that her name was known by Eiji.
Slander.
That's slander!
Hachiman complained in his heart, what Eiji said was a lie.
When had he ever told Eiji Saki's full name?
He never did!
The boy had not only recognized Saki's appearance, he had also somehow known her name before today.
"I see. I don't care what else Hikigaya says about me to you. Seiya-san, what do you need?"
Saki looked at Eiji's face indifferently.
She admitted that he was very handsome, no wonder many girls including the student council president— Sona liked him and even dated him.
But that was why she was unhappy.
Isn't this boy a playboy?
He came here with Hachiman and knew her name.
Was he interested in her?
Not that Saki was narcissistic, but she knew that her looks could be considered beautiful.
Even so, she was not interested in other people and had never even dated anyone.
To her, such things were a waste of time. She would rather study hard at school and then do a part-time job so that she could take care of her two younger siblings.
Alright, it was decided.
She would kick Eiji out firmly if he dared to seduce her.
However, what Saki did not know. Eiji knew her very well.
"I'm here to represent my class as a candidate for Bunkasai King."
Eiji said that with a serious expression that made himself more handsome.
Saki became a little dazed.
"Oh... You haven't registered from yesterday or the previous days?"
Hachiman felt that Saki's tone when talking to Eiji became softer and not cold like before.
Was it just his hallucination?
{Wait, since when are you so interested in becoming the Bunkasai King, Eiji? Didn't you act humble and disinterested before even though I already suspected it was a lie!}
No, it's not a lie, Hachiman.
I'm really not interested in becoming the Bunkasai King.
Eiji shook his head. "I'm sure I haven't."
This is actually just...
{I see! This must be the routine you used to seduce Saki, right? Tsk, do you always seduce girls this way? As expected of you, Eiji. You're so cunning! I really shouldn't let my younger sister meet you!}
Sometimes being too smart is not good, Hachiman.
Still, speaking of your younger sister...
Eiji remembered wasn't her name Komachi?
"You haven't done it yet? If that's you... Wait a minute."
Saki suddenly remembered something, she checked the list of registered participants and found Eiji's name.
Not only that, she opened the special application for this event on the student council's laptop she was using and was a little surprised.
Then she looked at Eiji who looked confused.
Did this boy really not know?
"Actually if it's you, Seiya-san. You don't need to bother registering because your class, class 2-A has already registered you as the Bunkasai King candidate in this event since three days ago."
"What? I didn't know this. Why didn't they ask my opinion first?"
Eiji's lips twitched.
[Is it Lala, Asia or my other girls from class 2-A? I don't mind but hey you guys should at least ask me first before putting my name on something.]
Hearing this.
Lala and the other heroines from class 2-A pretended not to know.
Sorry Eiji, it's not that we don't want to ask but you're too busy flirting with other girls.
How can we ask?
"How would I know?"
Saki tilted her head slightly, she had very short bangs so anyone could see her beauty spot underneath her right eye clearly in that position.
Although her expression was cold, she aroused the conquering desire that Alpha males usually had.
It was not a man like Hachiman of course but Eiji who was currently pretending to be serious.
"And not only that, you also don't have to bother participating in the selection because you are not like the other participants. You have accumulated a lot of points from the students which made you the number one before the contest started."
Saki added.
She showed the laptop screen that displayed the scores or points to judge who was most suitable to be this year's Bunkasai King.
It's like voting.
Eiji just found out about this and Hachiman was surprised.
Especially when he saw that Eiji already had 821 points in his own name.
Saki didn't forget to explain that one student represented one point.
This meant that over 800 students at Kuoh Academy had voted Eiji as the Bunkasai King for various reasons.
There was even a column mentioning their reasons which mostly read "Eiji-kun is so handsome! He is definitely the most suitable boy to be King", "Kyaa! I'm an Eiji-sama supporter!", "Why should we choose another boy when we already know the best one?" and other reasons that seemed to be written by female students who liked Eiji.
"What the heck... Isn't this cheating?" Hachiman couldn't help saying what he was thinking.
"Hachiman, you clearly saw the reason they chose me. I'm not cheating, okay?"
"No, I mean you cheated by using your face just to win! Or rather almost all the female students in this school voted for you without hesitation!"
How many students are there in total at Kuoh Academy? It's 1200 students with 910 girls.
Kuoh Academy was originally a girls-only school and it had only been three years since boys were allowed to attend here.
Eiji was cheating and at the same time making the other male students who knew about it feel envious of him!
"Well... Isn't one's appearance also a factor to determine the winner in this contest. I'm not cheating, right Saki?"
The seemingly humble Eiji asked the girl sitting in front of him.
Although he was a little surprised that he was number one right away, he thought it was natural since his appearance was like this.
"Please call me by my last name, Seiya-san. What you said is true and just for your information, voting starts from the first day of the school festival."
Saki frowned when Eiji called her by her first name casually.
Her guess was right.
He must be wooing her.
"Also... These results can still change if there are other participants accumulating more points than you or the students change their votes, Seiya-san."
"I advise you not to be too sure about the final result."
Saki seriously said.
If the beautiful girl who said that was a member of his harem, Eiji would argue and say the winner was obvious. There was no need to worry.
But since it was Saki, the girl who was cold on the outside but kind and loving on the inside. Eiji nodded with a spring-like smile on his face.
"Thanks for the advice, Saki."
"Told you not to call me Saki!"
Saki was annoyed but there was a slight blush on her cheeks, whether it was because she was angry or embarrassed— Hachiman wasn't sure but...
One thing was certain.
{Eiji, explode!}
Puff
Many heroines couldn't help but laugh.
Eiji sighed because wasn't Hachiman too easily envious of him?
Maybe he should help him to actually date that boy— what was his name? Ah, Totsuka.
...
Meanwhile.
In the open area of one of the school buildings located not far from the grounds.
Accompanied by Sakuraba and Runa, Hose had finally told Pansy about Eiji's true face. Hesitantly, Sakuraba and Runa also assured Pansy that they saw how Eiji agreed to a girl's confession.
Hose was expecting the look of disgust on Pansy's beautiful face hidden behind her disguise.
He was already laughing out loud in his heart but what happened was...
"Oh, is that all you have to say to get in my way? Then I'm leaving."
Pansy adjusted the position of her glasses which revealed her blue eyes that did not look surprised.
Then, she turned around and decided to take another path.
"W-Wait...! Pansy, do you understand what we're saying? Eiji is a bastard, he's just playing you!"
Hose was confused and hurriedly shouted to stop her.
Pansy stopped walking.
She looked back with an amused smile before saying, "I understand what you guys are saying about the bad things my boyfriend does. So what?"
"What? You, shouldn't you be angry or sad? Pansy, don't worry. I can help you to break up with Eiji! He doesn't deserve you!"
Hose patted her chest, she looked like a protagonist who wanted to save the heroine from the hands of a blonde villain.
Sakuraba and Runa looked at each other nervously because unlike the stubborn Hose, they could see how Pansy's attitude was about this.
She didn't look angry or sad, she even looked at them with amusement.
Did such an appearance look like a girl who was heartbroken because her boyfriend cheated on her?
Definitely not.
That meant there was only one possibility.
"This is the second time I'm saying this but I don't like you, Hazuki-san. Even if Eiji is a bastard, it's fine. I'll never date you."
Pansy casually attacked the real purpose for Hose to do this. She wasn't stupid not to see what the boy was planning.
"...!" Hose felt like his heart had just been hit with a knife, he didn't expect Pansy to be so firm in refusing to date him.
Why?
Why did she hate him so much?
He was better than Eiji!
But wait.
"Pansy, put aside about dating me but what do you mean you don't mind that Eiji is a bastard?"
Hose had a bad feeling.
He actually thought about this but he refused to believe that Pansy was such a girl.
What Sakuraba and Runa had said earlier was definitely wrong.
There was no way Pansy—
"That's what I meant. I mean I already know the good and bad of my boyfriend, even before we decided to date. But, I'm fine with it."
"!!!"
Not only Hose, but Sakuraba and Runa were shocked at the words that came out of Pansy's mouth.
The good guy mask Hose always wore cracked and showed his ugly expression. Even so, he didn't care because this time he was really angry.
"Pansy, what does that mean? I must have heard wrong!"
"Pfft!" Pansy laughed.
Although she was disguised as a nerdy girl as usual, she still looked very beautiful in Hose's eyes.
However, that girl was...
The green feeling that he had regarded Pansy as his woman since junior high began to choke his heart.
"I didn't expect that besides being stubborn, manipulative, hypocritical and deceiving people including himself. Hazuki-san also has problems with his hearing."
"What are you saying, Pansy? I—"
Hose panicked and wanted to refute what Pansy said even if it was true.
However, the girl didn't give him a chance and continued. "But let me make it clear for you. For you two too, Cherry and Tsukimi."
"Eiji actually has a harem and I'm one of his women. Is this clear enough now?"
"..."
The three people fell silent.
Especially Hose, his face was filled with disbelief and various emotions that made him very ugly.
However, it was as if someone added fuel to the fire.
A familiar figure walked out from the turn of the corridor and wrapped his arm around Pansy's shoulders.
Pansy was a little surprised but she soon snuggled into her boyfriend's chest while looking at Hose with a smile.
The NTR-style sight was enough to make Hose's body tremble.
"Pansy, I was looking for you. Turns out you're here with your two junior high school friends and..."
"Hey Hose boy, what's wrong with your face?"
Eiji smiled amusedly and asked as if he hadn't heard their conversation in the first place.
After wooing Saki a bit and parting ways with Hachiman in the field.
Pansy had actually contacted him through the Master-Servant contract a while ago and now here he was.
"Eiji, you..."
He interrupted Hose who was about to explode. "Ah let me guess. Did you accidentally eat dirt so you forgot to wear your mask?"
Hearing this, Pansy laughed again.
Sakuraba and Runa also saw Hose's face and Eiji's words made them unable to help but laugh.
"Cherry, Tsukimi. You guys are laughing at me too?" Hose widened his eyes and his expression became darker.
The two girls panicked.
"S-Sorry, Hose-kun. I didn't mean to laugh at you it's just that Eiji-san's words were too funny."
"Hose, don't be angry. We...
"Both of you, shut up!" Hose snapped.
Sakuraba and Runa were stunned.
Was this really Hose?
They were disappointed and sad.
But Hose didn't care because now he was looking at Eiji with a cold gaze.
"Eiji, you must have threatened Pansy so that she would willingly share her boyfriend with other girls. I challenge you! If I win, you have to break up with Pansy and never come near her again!"
"Hazuki-san, that's enough. How long do you want to make me feel disgusted? I said I don't like you and Eiji didn't threaten me. Stop making up your own stories. Are you so stupid that you can't accept the reality in front of you?"
Pansy took off her glasses and showed her beautiful face which now looked cold.
The words she used to insult Hose were on the same level as Yukino.
Hose could not help but be stunned.
[Hiss! Pansy was more stern and cruel to Hose than the original work. I like her a lot! Still, Hose boy challenging me? That reminds me of a certain plot in the original work where he also challenged Joro because he couldn't accept Pansy liking a boy who looks similar to him but rejects himself.]
[And the stupid thing is that Joro actually fulfills his role as a hesitant Japanese beta protagonist and agrees to Hose's challenge.]
[He was really stupid. Pansy obviously already liked him and was willing to be his girlfriend as long as he stopped being wishy-washy. Why would he bother competing with Hose?]
[It's actually not just Hose. There are many protagonists who bother to accept that kind of challenge from villains that disgust me so much.]
Eiji's inner voice was filled with contempt.
This man actually often felt emotional when discussing how stupid the protagonists were.
Pansy and the other heroines who heard him were surprised.
After all, it was rare for Eiji to be angry at someone.
Hose didn't know who exactly he had provoked, but he now felt a chill in his heart.
Especially when he saw Eiji's indifferent smile.
"Hose boy, you seem talented enough to be a street novel writer. Instead of chasing after my girlfriend, why don't you use your talent to make money?"
"A-A street novel writer? Eiji, don't change the topic! Are you afraid of losing to me?!"
Hose felt even more humiliated when he heard Eiji's words.
He thought the boy was scared.
Still, was he himself suddenly sick? He felt a little dizzy.
Before answering, Eiji naturally hugged Pansy's waist and even squeezed her ass in front of Hose.
Pansy blushed but she did not resist.
"Listen, Hose boy. Do you know how pedestrians feel when they hear a dog barking at them on the street? You might know but someone like me doesn't because I was looking down on them from the window of a very tall luxury building."
"Do you understand? If not, I'll use baby language for you to understand. What I'm trying to say is that I'm much more handsome than you, I have more money than you and unlike you—"
Eiji glanced at Sakuraba and Runa before looking back at Hose with a disdainful smile on his handsome face.
Pansy moaned slightly at the touch on her ass.
A vein stood out on the forehead of Hose whose heart was already filled with inferiority because of what Eiji said.
He clenched his fists until his nails dug into his flesh.
Was that true?
Eiji was not only very handsome, he was also very rich?
Was that what made Pansy shamelessly moan and let that boy play with her ass in front of them?!
However, what else would Eiji say next?
"Heh... Unlike you, I'm so honest that I don't need to hide my true desire to have a Harem from the women who like me."
"You don't know but besides Pansy, my other women also gave me permission if I want to date new women and add them to my harem."
"What about you, Hose boy, how long do you want to keep those two girls tied to you to be with you as friends?"
"You know they like you but here you are chasing Pansy and even if she agrees to date you. What will you do with them in the future?"
"Hose boy, I feel sorry for you. It must be tiring to keep pretending to be a nice guy, right?"
"So instead of being afraid of losing to you, I feel like you're not worthy to be my opponent. I've already won from the start because... Not only Pansy's heart, her body has also become mine."
After Eiji finished preaching in a vulgar manner like a villain.
*Puff!*
At that moment Hose's face was actually already pale due to the poison in his body and coupled with Eiji's words that gave him a mental attack.
He spit out a mouthful of blood to kneel on the spot.
"Hose-kun!"
"Hose!"
Sakuraba and Runa shouted frantically but not like before. They seemed hesitant to help Hose.
Whose poison was it by the way?
Of course, it was Eiji.
One of the World Serpent's poisons that was invisible and spread through exhalation. Its effects could make people more susceptible to emotional surges and could make them die from depression.
Although Eiji could kill Hose with a flick of a finger, he was sadistic as Miss System said.
So instead of killing Hose right away, he wanted to see him suffer mentally and physically first for a period of time.
As a bonus, he had even used his Geass to send certain commands to Hose's brain.
