[Host, say something!]
Miss System shouted in annoyance. How dare this man not react to the good reward she gave.
Although she knew what he was thinking, she still wanted to hear it directly.
Eiji put down his empty milk bottle. There was a white mustache on his lips. Noel who was nearby wiped his and Lala's mouths with a handkerchief.
While Lala continued her morning by eating a sandwich in front of the TV.
"Thank you Noel." Eiji said with a refreshing smile.
Noel smiled gently and said, "Eiji-sama, I was just doing my duty. Please call me if you need anything."
"Sure."
Looking at Noel's plump ass which was getting further away because the woman had other work to do as one of her beautiful maids.
Eiji couldn't help but remember Lars. That man didn't know how to appreciate his childhood friend. Fortunately there was he who gave her a warm home.
[Host, you don't like the reward I gave you? Well, I can throw it away.]
"Miss System, I love you so much!"
[I'm tired of hearing that. Say something else.]
Since when does your host have to give you a review for getting the reward he deserves?
Eiji complained but he immediately thought of something and said again in his heart. "Miss System, do you know who the most beautiful woman in my heart is?"
These words and this direction of conversation... Who is the woman in this age that doesn't know?
Even so.
Miss System held her chin with a very beautiful narrowed gaze.
[I don't know. Who is it? Don't tell me it's me? Host, don't lie. You haven't even seen me! I mean, do you think I'm a woman?!]
Miss System still won't admit she's not just a system.
What's the point of that?
She's probably just shy.
"Although I haven't seen your beauty, Miss System. Only from the many things we have gone through together. I have seen how beautiful your heart is."
"Compared to all the heroines, you are the most beautiful in my heart."
!!!
Eiji spoke words that were deadly to a woman's heart.
Miss System was no exception.
Her delicate and white face had a slight blush.
She was secretly scolding her host because he managed to tease her.
Too bad Eiji couldn't see the golden-haired beauty with that shy expression.
"Why are you so quiet? Miss System, are you in love with me?"
[Too bad, you're a very narcissistic man.]
"...."
Narcissistic?
According to Eiji, he wasn't narcissistic at all. What he said were things that often crossed his mind after seeing many romantic routines in the anime and novels he had watched and read in his previous life.
Unlike the protagonists who were unable to realize why a woman was silent and didn't say anything after they flirted with her.
It was hard for Eiji to pretend to be stupid, especially if the woman was Miss System who could read his mind.
There was no point if he pretended not to know, right?
Better just admit that he really liked her like a real man who is not ashamed to admit his love.
This is a real man!
A dragon among the phoenixes scattered across the multiverse.
By the way, let's talk about the reward I just got from the woman I love.
I almost forgot.
Cosmic Garou's martial arts?
Who is Garou? The only character that came to Eiji's mind when he heard this was one of the villain bosses in the franchise called One Punch Man.
It was a villain who didn't even die after taking a serious punch from the protagonist with the same ability as his franchise title.
Garou is a martial arts expert with a talent that can trample geniuses who practiced for years because he can learn so quickly.
After being kicked out of the Dojo by his master, he became a troublemaker who often challenges heroes to a fight with him. Although his journey saw him almost killed many times, he would become stronger with terrifying speed whenever cornered by an opponent stronger than him.
He probably could have become the protagonist if not for the existence of the bald-headed protagonist who became the final boss in his journey.
However, Eiji liked this man's personality. He was at least better than most shounen protagonists out there.
Thanks to his insane hard work and determination, Garou had even managed to gain power comparable to that of a god in the franchise and now he was still fighting it out with the protagonist.
Eiji now had a lot of information about the martial arts of Garou who had become a God. His body quickly memorized all of Garou's martial techniques and mastered them instantly.
If it was him a few months ago, Eiji knew there was no way he could master the Cosmic Garou's martial arts because his body was unable to keep up with his techniques.
But now? Hey that doesn't need to be said. Anos' physical strength was more than enough and now he had 14% Mercurius.
With just the techniques Gaoru had, even if it was just the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist combined with his physical strength, Eiji could kill the gods in this world.
Destroying a planet with a punch wasn't impossible either.
The shockwave from his serious punch might be enough to destroy dozens of planets lined up.
More than that, Eiji couldn't imagine how strong he was unless he tested his own limits.
"Alright Miss System... Next."
[Host, what did you say? That's your only reward for today.]
"Huh?"
Eiji remembered the things he did yesterday. Wasn't it after he brought Le Fay home. He had helped Utaha promote her novel and even gotten her parents' permission to marry their daughter?
Technically, he should get two rewards.
[Host, who is the system? You or me?]
Miss System began to get annoyed again with her shameless host.
This man was like a vampire who had sucked a lot of her blood.
He wouldn't be satisfied before making her a poor woman.
Eiji didn't know the funny thing Miss System was thinking, he rubbed his nose before saying seriously.
"Miss System, don't lie."
[I'm serious! If you talk about the things you did with Utaha. Well you could potentially impregnate her after all that craziness.]
[And that's all you get. After all, the protagonist of the original work was already put in prison.]
[This doesn't change things because long before this Utaha was already considered your woman.]
[It might be different if you fucked all the heroines in Saekano.]
"Ahem! Miss System, watch your language. As a system, you should be professional like a company secretary."
Eiji pretended to cough, he opened his mouth at Lala. Lala who realized her fiancé opened his mouth looked confused.
But then, she realized the boy probably wanted to taste the sandwich in her hand even though he had finished his, he wasn't satisfied yet.
Without hesitation, Lala stuffed the sandwich she had bitten into Eiji's mouth. There wasn't much left so she gave him the whole thing.
Eiji chewed Lala's sandwich happily.
Lala giggled, since she was still wearing a bath towel, she stood up and took off her towel. Her slender and beautiful body was seen by many people in Eiji's house.
Lala was not embarrassed, after all Eiji was her fiancé and all those women were her family. Peke hurriedly changed into the school uniform that covered the girl's body.
Sephie sighed at her first daughter's behavior. "Lala, how many times did Mama tell you to get dressed in your room?"
"Hehe~ Mama, I forgot."
"You always forget this, Lala. How is that possible? No youngster is more forgetful than you."
For some reason, Lala and the other women who heard what Sephie said glanced at Eiji.
Sephie was confused, she wondered why everyone was staring at Eiji?
"...." Eiji's lips twitched.
These women including his own fiancée were so rude.
[Do they mean to say that I'm more forgetful than Lala?]
[Nonsense! When did I forget about something?]
The heroines in Eiji's harem were numb.
Are you seriously saying that? Before this you had obviously forgotten a lot of things including asking all of us out on a date.
So far, only a few of us have gotten it.
Even though we have given our virginity to you.
Many heroines snorted, Eiji as usual... Forget it. They were tired of saying it.
If Eiji did not give them an invitation for a date, they could only be satisfied with pressing him on the bed and playing with his penis.
Unlike most women who desperately wanted a date with the man they loved. The women in Eiji's harem had now become carnivorous women who wanted the man's body even more.
For them, dating was optional.
...
Waking up from her beautiful dream where she and Eiji were married and had two children. After eating the breakfast made by her mother. Utaha was surprised at the number of missed calls from Machida on her cell phone.
Yesterday, she was too busy playing with Eiji to forget about her novel.
It just so happened that there was a new phone call from Machida.
This time Utaha quickly answered the woman's call.
"Sonoko, why are you so eager to-"
"Damn! You finally know how to pick up your phone Kasumi Utako-sensei. Do you know how crazy your novel is right now?"
"Um?"
Utaha ignored Machida's annoyance until she said her pen name in full.
She was confused as to why the woman sounded crazy? Whatever it was, it must have something to do with The Metronome in Love.
Utaha pretended to cough and said, "Sonoko, calm down. What's going on?"
"You... Do you really not know or are you playing me? Tell me honestly, Shi-chan. Who did you ask for help promoting your novel after we parted ways at the cafe yesterday?"
"...."
Probably due to excessive happiness after her parents approved of her and Eiji's relationship and the beautiful dream she had last night.
Utaha's response to the news about her novel was very slow.
She even remembered she was a writer only after Machida called her. It was a bit embarrassing, but how could a woman who had never dated like Machida understand?
She wouldn't understand the feelings of the woman who became the winner in the romantic genre in her life!
"I feel like you're thinking something rude about me, Shi-chan." Machida's voice on the other end of the line sounded rather cold.
"It's just your imagination, Sonoko. By the way, I asked my boyfriend for help yesterday."
Utaha said happily when mentioning her boyfriend. And she finally remembered about the promotion Eiji had done on her novel with the help of artificial intelligence.
Could it be that this time her novel had really exploded like a nuke?
Utaha became more and more excited but she stood in front of her house gracefully.
With her cell phone in one hand and her school bag in the other. She was ready to leave for school.
Somehow it took a while for Machida to answer.
"So it's Eiji-kun? It's him! If it's him and the connections he has... Well that makes sense and isn't impossible."
"What do you mean, Sonoko? Don't underestimate Eiji-kun." Utaha said as if she was offended. She seemed to be a girl who defended her boyfriend everywhere.
Eiji would be happy if he heard what the girl said.
It was not in vain that he transformed Utaha's insides into his form yesterday. It was an achievement that not even the protagonist of the original work was capable of.
"Tsk! Who's belittling your boyfriend? Shi-chan, you're too sensitive. You'd understand if you knew how much your current novel sales are."
Machida said irritably.
Utaha was curious. "How much is the total? Did it finally break the one million mark? Two million? Or five million copies? I wouldn't be surprised. It was Eiji-kun who helped me to promote it after all."
"More than 20. Congratulations, you've broken the best record in light novel sales." Machida said tiredly. She seemed to have little or no sleep.
Everyone in her company could not sleep well because they were working overtime to print more copies of The Metronome in Love. Even the managers and directors of the company frantically ordered more printing presses for the company.
And all that happened in just one day and is still going on today.
That's really crazy
"20? 20 million copies?!" Utaha was shocked and her red eyes widened. Who said she wouldn't be surprised earlier?
But that was natural, she had just broken a world record in the history of light novels!
Eiji really wasn't lying, he had been promoting her novel to the whole world and it was no wonder that her sales figures were increasing at such a terrifying rate.
"Yes although the company can only publish two million for each volume which is now almost sold out. The rest still need to be put on hold because the number of orders coming from overseas is too much."
"Still, you will become the richest light novel author, Shi-chan. The other novelists must be envious of you."
"Do you want to treat me to a meal?"
Machida joked but Utaha who had roughly calculated how rich she would be if Fujikawa Fantastic Bunko had finished publishing 20 million copies of her novel nodded.
"Choose any restaurant you want Sonoko, I'll treat you later. My editor must not suffer."
"...."
Machida, who happened to be drinking at her desk, choked and coughed repeatedly.
I'm glad to hear what Shi-chan said but are these the words of the nouveau riche?
"Shi-chan, don't take back your words! You must not regret it!"
...
Eiji had actually seen the news about the sales of The Metronome in Love which had skyrocketed and was widely discussed on the internet.
Jarvis did a good job. Utaha must be very happy now. Whoever became his woman would certainly not be treated badly and he would make them happy.
The women only needed to ask and he would try to give them what they wanted.
Eiji liked to pamper his women.
That way, they would love him even more and it would be easier for him to add more women he liked to his harem.
[So that was your evil plan all along, host? I didn't expect you to be such a person!]
Miss System shouted excessively. She did it on purpose.
"Miss System, don't call it an evil plan. Everyone is happy, it's called a happy family plan."
[You're getting good at twisting people's words.]
Hearing Miss System's mockery, Eiji just shook his head.
Now he was at school.
As usual, he met up with his classmates including Rito who gave him an ugly face.
When the lesson was in progress and the teacher only gave them the task of taking notes. Eiji was able to finish that small task very quickly before teasing Lala and Risa who were sitting closest to him.
Lala was cheerful as usual, but Risa seemed to be annoyed.
Although she always returned his words with her teasing smile and lewd jokes, she also repeatedly snorted as if dissatisfied with him.
Hm... That girl was probably jealous and sexually frustrated. After all unlike Lala, Yui, Haruna, Asia, Run and even Lilith who had returned to school as usual for the time being.
Risa found that Eiji just flirted with her without wanting anything from her.
He never even came to her house as he promised which annoyed her a lot.
Eiji could guess what made Risa dissatisfied with him. But he pretended not to know, not now because this morning he had used his "Future Insight" and noticed a plot related to Yukino.
More precisely a certain blonde boy sowing discord between him and his beautiful mother-in-law.
He is seeking death.
I must find time to deal with him with my green methods so as not to be boring.
[But host, isn't most of what he said true? Even though you're not a playboy, you're riding many boats at the same time.]
"...."
Whose side is this woman on?
[Of course you, host.]
Eiji rolled his eyes. He believed Miss System was always on his side but what she said about him was definitely not true!
Just wait until Shizuka came to his class when the lunch break started.
"Eiji, come with sensei right now. There's someone who wants to talk to you in my office."
Oh actually it was right now.
And Eiji was having lunch with his girls in class.
Looking at Shizuka who was standing at the door while pretending to be fierce even though when they were exercising in bed, she would beg like a little girl.
Eiji smiled amusedly.
Shizuka tried to refrain from blushing. Although she had seen that boy many times since they lived together in his house. At school, she was the teacher and Eiji was the student.
She had to maintain her image!
They certainly shouldn't show a relationship that went beyond teacher and student. Otherwise, people would suspect she had had sex with Eiji and become one of his women.
Eiji got up from his chair and walked over to the woman.
"Okay Shizuka-sensei. I'll come with you."
"Good."
Except for Lala and the girls in Eiji's harem who looked at the scene with amusement. Risa and the other students didn't think there was anything wrong with Eiji and Shizuka going together.
However, what they didn't know...
In the hallway leading to Shizuka's office which happened to be quiet.
"Eiji, not here! Are you crazy?" Shizuka gritted her teeth with a blush on her cheeks.
Her fiancé and at the same time her current student was pushing her against the wall and pinching her chin.
Looking at his handsome face from this close distance, Shizuka could still feel a deer running around in her heart.
Damn!
"Shizuka, you're so cute." Eiji teased his teacher.
"You...! L-Let go of me, Eiji... We're at school and there's someone waiting for you in my office. If you want, you can do it later after we go home, okay?"
Shizuka who was known as the fiercest teacher in the school begged Eiji like a little wife who was oppressed by her husband.
The students and teachers who didn't see it with their eyes wouldn't believe it!
