Chapter 8 - Another [Queen] potential candidate (1/2)

As I trying to prepare the table for our breakfast, Lavi-nee start to prepare the kitchen and began to cook. From what I've remember, her food is delicious and amazing, but not to the point it can make someone horny. It's just very delicious and she already has the skills of housewive.

Meanwhile, here I am, just sit and wait for it to finish. The fatigue that earlier fill my body suddenly gone, it's like I'm healthy again and don't' feel tired at all. If I want, one more round is good but I don't want to push and force Lavi-nee, she has limited stamina after all, because she's human and don't do many exercise.

Well… she is magician after all, if it's a game, then she would focus her status on the intelligence instead of strength. But I'm the same, because I often use my [Power of Destruction], it made me long-range-type and sort of magician… although it was before this [Eroge System] still locked and I couldn't get any skills from it.

But right now I can use magic, maybe human magic because I have [Mana Affinity] as the intermediary. It can act as my others source of energy. If possible, I'd also like to gain a way to use [Ki] that being used often by the youkais. It's great to able use something like that and moreover, I'm resistan to light-based attack.

It's thanks to Raynare-san, she's the one who unintentionally give me a wonderful gift like this. Although I'm curious about what is she currently doing right now. She's my friend after all, from the three faction, and doing something to settle it. But that's mostly impossible, since from the Bible itself it been said that angel, fallen angel, and devil are natural enemies—an eternal rival and foe that be destined to oppose each other.

”Somehow it sounds stupid…”

I mumble that.

Right of what I've said. Just because it's written as their destiny, we must hate and oppose each other, engaging an endless battle and lit a war. A big war that called Great War, it's happened a long time ago, before I was born and of course it's happened roughly thousand years ago. At that time, world is really a mess and not became something like this.

Okay, let's just don't start the flashback and think about the [Eroge System] again.

This ability of mine, [Eroge System], is something mysterious. I don't know how the skills gain works. Is it only when I doing intimate relationship with girls who's attracted to me? Something like l.e.w.d? If that's true, then it can be inconvenient and convenient.

System, is there another method to gain skills?

[Answer: No. Gain skills only can be achieved when host doing intimate act with girls who's attracted to host or attracting host.]

I'm frowned when hear that. The system told me to do something hard. But… did it have limitation?

[Answer: No. Host can gain many skills, it's limitless and the skills that acquired will automatically adapt to host body.]

If that's true, then my body already became weird. Weirder than supernatural standard and will cause an attraction from people. If somehow a potential enemy shows up and take advantage of this, then I'll be used as guinea pig. They will do experiment to me, I don't want that kind of thing happened.

If it somehow… this is revealed, then I wouldn't have other choice to protect myself to the extreme and going prepared by that.

I tiredly sigh.

”Look like I have to keep this secret…”

”Lith-chan, the breakfast is finished! Please help me to bring it to the table.”

Being called, I then respond to Lavi-nee's request who already finished make our breakfast and going to the kitchen to help her.

”Okay, onee-chan.”

With that, we enjoy our breakfast time in the morning and I'm planning to skip my school today. It will cause curious and confused reacts from many, but since I'm aware of that, Sona-senpai already being informed by me and understand about my reason.

After all, I have to hurry up to find the potential [Peerage] member for myself. Doing something alone or prefer being lone wolf isn't really myself. It's better to have companion or friends who support each other and it always became an advantage in many way.

Also, to grab some nice girls when doing that. Maybe some quicky with random cute and beauty when trying to find [Peerage] member who have the strong reaction to my [Evil Piece]. While Hyoudou-senpai is one of the candidate, I don't think I'd like to stand about his pervert behavior and from what I've know, he is the type of boy who will causing some trouble and problem to me.

Hyoudou-senpai is kind, maybe has a gold heart but that's it. Sounds hypocrite for me, but thinking back, I have to know about the consequences if he really become my [Peerage] member.

After saying goodbye and give Lavi-nee goodbye kiss, I leave my house and she does the same. Lavi-nee has her own work, she's magician and my contracted one. I'm truly happy when she accept that but feel sad when she rejected my offer to become devil—to become my [Peerage] member and she's very well reacted to the [Queen]'s piece.

Thinking again about [Evil Piece]… if I had to say about my pieces, all of them are mutated. It shows how strong I am as [King] of my [Peerage] and of course made uncle Ajuka surprised by that, he even trying his best to cover up and keep secret about the fact of my mutated pieces. Only the Four Satan and me who knew about this fact, so we had to kept it secret and not let anyone knew unless the time is coming.

Maybe when I decided to take someone to be my [Peerage] member, at that moment one of my secret will be revealed and has to be wary of my surroundings.

But maybe that's just me who became too paranoid.

”Let's take different route…”

Said me who trying to take the different route and avoid being seen by students from Kuoh Academy, I don't want to take my usual route and encounter some of the students. Because most of them are familiar with me and able to figure out fast. They are fast when recognize me and somehow it's became hard to disguise myself.

Time passes as I trying to find my potential member while strolling around. I must be idiot to think someone would suddenly show up and it's happened miracously, which is nonsense. I doubt something like that happened, unless it's serious case happen but must hoping about it, because it's not wrong to doing things like this sometimes.

Tired, my fatigue already rose and must make myself relax. I then sat on the bench, which is in the park and so glad that there's no one recognize me. Although I'm not alone, there is a girl… maybe woman if I look it more into it, she seems in her late 20s, has right-side ponytail pale blue hair and blue eyes which has some pair of dark circle beneath her eyes while she wears a pair of glasses with a circular frame.

She wore pale blue casual clothes with a small teddy bear in the her right b.r.e.a.s.t pocket and brown jeans. She's really beautiful with such weird aura and atmosphere, if feel like… divine. My hands even hesitate when about to call her and trying to open a conversation, also… there's a reaction to my [Queen] piece. It's glowing with crimson color, just like my hair.

Our position is far away, she just behind me, even Lavi-nee strength couldn't able to defeat this person if in fight. That's what I've thought… it's just a rough guess and judged from the [Queen] piece reaction. Although that woman conceal her power, somehow I can still clearly feel it.

Just to make sure, get up from the bench, I trying to approach and if possible just open a idly or meaningless chat with her.

She's blinked and notice me, which make her curious but I ask her with smile adore my face.

”Excuse me, could I talk with you for a second?”

She give me confused expression.

”…Pardon? What do you mean…?”

[Please excuse my intrusion, I just want to talk with someone.] + 5

[Nothing. Excuse me.] – 5

I just give her a warm smile and shake my head.

”Please excuse my intrusion, I just want to talk with someone.”

Understanding that, she nod and give me the permission to sat beside her and I gladly accept it.

+5 Affection

”No problem. I just thought it's unusual.”

”Is that so? People may find it weird and suspicious if I did that, right?”

”Some are but some aren't. There's many kind of people and all of them is differents. I just thought it's somehow normal. Maybe what you did is just for yourself to kill sometime or find new friend.”

I'm amazed by her words. She is right. Seems she is observant, people who really good at understanding and observing. If that's true, I may have to sometimes lying to her when we're talking.

Also, judging from her behavior, she's also calm and collected person. Proven from when she didn't act surprised when being approached by a stranger like myself. Usually people will surprised and wary of me, but… I couldn't detect any change in her aura, she stayed calm and normal.

[Ah… I'm sorry for that, if somehow I accidentally intrude your own space.] + 5

[Riiiight. You're so observant.] - 5

”Ah… I'm sorry for that, if somehow I accidentally intrude your own space.”

”I do not have a problem with that. It's nice to meet someone new and hopefully adding my new acquintance. It's very useful.”

+5 Affection

Surprisingly, only 5 affection that increase her. It's mean she's not an easy target and makes me has to work hard to able conquer her. I mean it's not wrong to say it conquer because this is kind of like eroge and usually doing a girl-conquest. Right now I'm the protagonist because have this kind of ability and make me somewhat easy to have a proper talk and relationship with girls.

Maybe I could become smarter and wiser when use this?

[You're right. It's good to have more acquintance or companion. It can help you when needed.] + 10

[Really? I thought it's good if alone.] – 20

I'm blinked and widened when seeing the second option. If I choose that, I could lose 20 affection? That's absurd and I only gain 10 affection if I choose the first. Sounds unfair but why would the system give me this kind of treatment? Even thought my status is look like high enough.

I just hope it's not make my life become hard, because I don't like it very much. Happy and easy life is something I always want. No one would want a harder and bad life, except those who're extreme m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t who also added that into their life and I'm not that.

”You're right. It's good to have more acquintance or companion. It can help you when needed.”

+10 Affection

I'm agree with her. It's better than alone and became a lone wolf. Indeed it's cool but no one want to start and end alone, some people prefer to start and end together, they don't want to be forgotten and ignored in their whole life.

Those so-called otaku or eight-grader syndrome people would think it's awesome and amazing to be lone wolf. Human, or others, are social beings. They supposed to not live this life alone and help each other, not doing anything themselves. You can't live alone forever after all.
