290 Bad ending

What happened on the small island certainly caused panic in the ordinary people living in Maijima city.

Although Eiji could handle that problem with his powers, or Rias and Sona could do something with their memory-altering magic. Lala could also use 'Bye-Bye-Memory-Kun' to do the same. They preferred to leave the matter to the remnants of the Runaway Spirit Squad now led by Haqua.

After all, this city was now practically their territory. The Old Hell that had been purified of Weiss/Loose Soul as well; after the goddesses said that the place was fit to be inhabited by devils again. The woman named Nora immediately reported this to the elders in the New Hell. The rest was up to them what they wanted to make the Old Hell into, Eiji didn't care because now he had finished the plot.

They could have gone straight home, but he remembered that Lala and some other girls wanted to tour the city first. So they stayed at the hotel for one night and the next day they spent time walking around to various places in the city.

Even so, on the way, the crimson-haired girl in their group complained.

"Why are there hardly any tourist attractions other than beaches, playgrounds and arcades? As for supermarkets, there are plenty in this city..."

"Rias, what did you expect? You yourself previously said that this town is more like a village. And of course it's because it's located on an island far away from other cities. Mayor Maijima probably prioritizes the needs over the entertainment of the residents."

"....."

Sona with a grocery bag in her hand said that. She at least bought a few boxes of manju that she bought at a traditional food store to take home.

Eiji and Lala ate one box on the way, she scolded both of them for why they didn't buy it themselves.

[Sometimes eating something someone else bought tastes better even if you can buy it yourself.]

Lala nodded in agreement with Eiji, she knew the key was that the food was free. Free food tended to taste better in the mouth. She wanted to ask Sona for more food, but the girl refused firmly and said these were souvenirs for the people back home.

The pink-haired girl could only pull Eiji and Ai to another food shop they passed on the way. The latter joined in the fun.

"....." Seeing the three people, especially Eiji entered the takoyaki shop and queued up in an orderly manner.

Diana who this morning offered to be the tour guide for the group was stunned. If she didn't see it for herself, she couldn't believe it was the same person as the one who cut down the mountain with one sword and erased all loose soul existence in Old Hell. The galactic scene he created was still imprinted in her mind.

Beside her, the blonde girl named Asia giggled and said, "Surprised? Despite being that strong, unless necessary, Eiji-san is actually an easy-going person and he will still follow the rules of society. Diana-san doesn't think he'll do bad things casually, right?"

"Of course not, I know Seiya-san is not a bad person... Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped me and my five sisters so far yesterday. I was just wondering where you guys came from?" Diana asked. By the way her other five sisters were busy helping the devils organize the Old Hell. Otherwise, Mars who was crazy about Eiji would have been here by now.

After foiling the plans of Vintage and the other evil groups who wanted to sacrifice them to release all the Weiss in the Old Hell. She herself was here to represent all her sisters to thank her by helping Eiji and his group with anything.

"It's natural that you don't know. Diana-san, we are from the city of Kuoh. It's quite a distance from here." It was not Asia who answered, but Rias.

"That seems far, so why did you guys bother coming to this city? I've heard that Seiya-san had a conflict with the group of people who kidnapped us. But is it just because of that?" Diana was curious, she couldn't believe Eiji and the girls came specifically for her and her sisters.

"Well... There are also other reasons such as helping Lavinia to stop the group of magician who cooperated with Vintage." Sona said.

Lavinia added with a friendly smile. "It's me, the group of magician who kidnapped you are the magician from the organization that is the enemy of my organization. And because of my relationship with Eiji, he and his girls helped me."

"Are you also one of Eiji's women, Lavinia-san?"

"....."

Diana's question left the blonde witch at a loss for what to say because right now; Rias, Sona and Asia were looking at her with smiles... What did they mean? These girls didn't push her to admit that she was also one of them, right? She wanted to deny that it wasn't like that but in the end she just kept quiet.

Diana was now starting to wonder exactly how many women were in Eiji's harem? For some reason, she was curious if they were still accepting new members.

'D-Diana! You're not serious, are you?"

'Tenri, what are you talking about? I'm just thinking of Mars who likes Seiya-san.'

'Really?

'... Yeah, than when do you want to swap?'

They had survived, but her host still liked to let her use her body like this. By the way her goddess power had also been slightly restored thanks to Tenri's improved mood. Even after meeting Keima, the man who was still loyal to his 2D women yesterday.

...

Maijima Private High School is the number one school in the city itself.

In his class, the protagonist Keima was staring at his PFP screen absentmindedly. He was playing galge, conquering 2D women as usual; but unlike before, he no longer enjoyed doing so.

Ever since receiving the cold shoulder from Diana and the other goddesses—no, actually the girls possessed by the goddesses themselves such as Yui, Ayumi, Kanon, Tsukiyo and Shiori didn't want to talk to him even though they swapped with the respective goddesses in their bodies. For a girl like Tenri, he could understand after all the girl was shy, she was probably just shy as usual and would rather give her body to Diana.

But

"Something is wrong. I know it's my fault, but I've come to help them and gather reinforcements. And even if it's too late, they shouldn't have to treat me that coldly."

This is based on her experience as a person who has played thousands of gal games and conquered 2D women in them. So he knew the fault lay with the handsome man named Eiji Seiya who was the leader of the group of beautiful girls at that time.

That man seemed to be the reinforcements Haqua relied on to help the goddesses. This was what made him uncomfortable.

This route... There was no mistaking it...

"Those girls must have changed their hearts to another man! What 3D women! They're completely unfaithful like bitches! This is why 2D women are better!"

Keima's shout made the entire class stare at him. It honestly wasn't the first time that the boy suddenly shouted and said crazy things in class while playing a game, but it was the first time they saw such an amazing scene like–

*Slap!*

"A-Ayumi?! Aren't you not going to school today? Why are you..."

Keima stammered, his cheeks swollen because the physical strength of the girl standing beside his seat had the goddess in her. So it hurt a lot, but somehow his heart hurt more even though it wasn't the first time that the 3D women who were included in his capture target slapped him.

It must be because Ayumi was now looking at him with disgust and alienation on her face.

"I already came to class over 30 minutes ago. But you, you were as usual busy with your game... Really... It's my fault why I was... Oh never mind. Don't call me Ayumi, we're not that close now."

She turned around after saying that and walked back to her seat in the front row, but before that she also added; "Have fun with your 2D women, they're better than bitches like me." with sarcasm referring to herself.

"...." Keima felt his heart throbbing in a painful way. He stared at Ayumi's back in a daze. Speaking of which he flinched because he also just realized the pink-haired girl from another class, Kanon seemed to be coming to his class and she was standing at the door.

From her expression, he knew she had also heard what he had said and he had messed up. Kanon turned around and did not enter his class.

"Kami-sama ... You idiot."

Elsie who was in the same class as Keima sighed. That boy was usually smart and knew how to read the atmosphere, but when playing his games and actually since yesterday. He often yelled and cursed at the girls who had previously been the target of his capture.

"Otamega, I don't know what your and Ayumi's problem is this time. But what you said made all the girls in this class antagonize you now. Congrats."

"Even you too Chihiro?"

Keima who had one cheek puffed up like a pufferfish stared at the ordinary girl with an ordinary appearance and everything about her was ordinary which he thought was a plus point compared to other 3D women.

But the girl was also looking at him with disdain.

Needless to say, he knew the answer and smiled wryly.

'This is a bad ending....'

...

When the protagonist of this franchise had completely broken up with some of his heroine.

Rias, Lala and the others were busy shopping at a supermarket called 'Inazumart'—according to Diana, this was the biggest supermarket in the city.

You know when a woman goes shopping at a supermarket/mall, an hour or two won't be enough for them. In this situation, a man accompanying the woman would definitely have his patience tested to wait for them to finish shopping.

Eiji was in that situation right now.

He was waiting at a cafe in the mall. With a latte and fries he ordered. He was not alone, there was a woman dressed as a sexy teacher sitting in front of him.

"I remember you were one of the women in the group who came late yesterday. You're Haqua's senior, I don't know what you need from me?"

He asked that and sipped his coffee casually.

Eiji didn't know protagonist Keima's sad situation at school, even if he knew, he wouldn't care—although he would definitely laugh and feel amused because of it.

¶{Host, you villian protagonist.}

I didn't intentionally hurt the protagonist, how can you say that...

¶{You're sure this wasn't in your plan?}

I'm sure not... He thought as he looked at the woman in front of him.

From her original work, he knew who she was.

"Before I answer your question, I'm sure you don't know who I am yet. I'm a member of the Runaway Spirit Squad, Yuri Nika–"

"I know you, you're the leader of the Runaway Spirit Squad and at the same time also the leader of Vintage. Dokuro Skull, right? It's more like you have two identities... Dokuro is your true identity."

"!!!"

Yuri was shocked, unconsciously she shifted her chair back and looked at Eiji with a horrified gaze.

This man...!

How does he know a secret that no one but her even knows?!

What he said was true, she did have two identities. The first as Yuri Nikaidō, she was a Japanese history teacher and high-level spirit hunter who had only joined the Runaway Spirit Squad for approximately 4 years. But she has actually been with the squad longer than that because she is Dokuro Skull, one of the leaders of Hell and two organizations; Runaway Spirit Squad and Vintage.

Not only was she the leader of Hell and those organizations; due to circumstances, she had to become the leader of Vintage to deceive the old devils in the dark. She did this in order to prevent the resurrection of Old Hell though in the process she had to team up with Rizevim and his organization, Qlippoth.

She had to expel Haqua from the Runaway Spirit Squad and tell her that she was the leader of Vintage because she did not want to involve the girl despite the opposite result; the girl helped her a lot as she managed to receive help from Eiji Seiya and his group.

However, long before that, in her disguise as Dokuro, she had always pretended to be a man and a skull despite her true form being the Yuri Nikaidō appearance she currently wears.

This was also to convince those old devils that she was also a supporter of the Old Hell before betraying them when the time came.

This was her biggest secret, but the man in front of her, Eiji Seiya actually knew that much?!

"I... I don't know how you found out."

"Oh you're not denying it?"

Yuri shook her head at the man's question. "No, originally I did plan on revealing my true identity if Yuri Nikaidō's identity didn't work out."

"And what will you do after that? Yuri or Dokuro, hm... I'll call you Yuri because it sounds more fun, you don't mind?" Eiji smiled a little, this was the first time he saw such a cool sexy teacher type. Shizuka was a beautiful teacher who was fierce and tomboyish, and Tearju was a beautiful teacher who was clumsy and gentle.

Diversity is a good thing.

¶{Cough, host...}

What?

¶{Nothing. Continue!}

"....."

Eiji blinked his eyes and continued to stare at Yuri's face which made the woman a little nervous.

If it was another man, Yuri would have already hit him because as a teacher, it was not uncommon for her to hit naughty students with a ruler or other objects. But the man in front of her was Eiji, forget what she wanted from him, she couldn't even defeat him because of the obvious difference in power.

"That... Isn't Rizevim your enemy?"

"That old man? He's entertainment... I mean yes, he basically can't realize his ideal because of my existence. And I can't let a villain succeed with his so-called plan."

Eiji almost told the truth that he considered Rizevim as his source of entertainment. To be honest although it was annoying to keep him alive all this time, the old man was really doing his role as a villain, he and every plan he made was equal to a plot and reward for himself.

Entertainment? Yuri was sure she hadn't heard wrong. She couldn't help but think Rizevim was a pathetic old man. The guy was crazy, she knew this after working with him for a month.

"Then can you help me? Help me destroy the people behind Vintage and you can do the same to Rizevim and his organization. Those people are already working together and even though the goddesses were saved, all the loose souls in the Old Hell have also been destroyed by you."

"They still have other plans with that thing called the Evil Spirit."

"If they continue to be left alone..."

Eiji sighed, he wondered since when did these women become like NPCs who kept throwing quests at him? And Yuri's request was actually the same as Haqua's, and even everyone who wanted the death of the villains.

But did he have to say that to the woman in front of him? The part where he wasn't the only one who wanted the destruction of Vintage and Qlippoth? Of course... No, he didn't.
