Chapter 122: Making Out Gone Wrong and Embarrassing

—

I followed Tsubaki as she led me toward the old school building, where the clubroom of Occult Research Club is located. Once again, to my surprise, the runaway princess of the Shinra clan tried to initiate a conversation.

“So how is it going with your girlfriends? The three-month time frame will end soon. Who do you think will choose to stay with you?” she asked, and although she tried to hide it, she sounded almost excited about the possibility of me soon going through a breakup. But I noticed no animosity within that excitement.

Odd. Did this girl like me? After all that I did?

Why else was she looking forward to me breaking up? From her tone, she seemed certain that someone would break up indeed if not all. I guess she noticed how little time Mai Senpai and I spend, so it may be natural to assume the same for the other two girls.

This situation triggered a memory that, in the original story, she fell for Kiba Yuuto after facing defeat at his hands. Did she have a defeat kink? Poor Sona.

Unfortunately for her, nobody was going to leave me. I’m also not interested in her beyond her physical attractiveness. “I’m not sure, let’s wait till the time comes. Who knows, maybe all of them will choose to stay?” I said in a deliberate joking tone, to which she gave me a soft giggle.

“I guess it’s hard for girls to commit when they know their boyfriend is a known playboy,” she said and I laughed along. Stupid girl.

“I mean, it depends,” we stepped into a turning road, and I yanked her by her waist before pressing her back against the wall. She flinched in surprise as I loomed over her, resting my forearm over her head. “Some girls find it thrilling. Besides, a pretty face helps even for guys, and I happen to be blessed with otherworldly talents and powers as well. It’s hard not to be a playboy.”

“Ah… I-I see…” she blushed slightly, avoiding my eyes, and I took that as a sign to press ahead.

I pushed a knee between her legs and smiled down at her, “Yep. For example, sometimes even my former enemies will hit on me. It’s truly a blessing that I am who I am, otherwise, I doubt I could have ever seen Vice President Tsubaki make such a face for me.”

“I’m sorry for last time… I should have been more tolerant…” she apologized, still looking away as I chuckled. I grabbed her by her chin and raised her face to look up at me. “….”

“Part your lips,” I told her as I felt something twitch over my lips. She gulped, and then opened her lips, closing her eyes as I leaned over.

The girl hesitated, but she gave in to the kiss in no time. She wiggled under me, rubbing her body against mine, and beginning to enjoy the kiss. Just then, I had to cancel the kiss.

Because a kick came flying to hit my side.

“You bastard! How dare you harass the Vice-Prez!” an annoyingly loud voice yelled, as I failed to step away in time since that’d make the attack land on Tsubaki.

The kick hit me on the ribs and sent me sliding back on the floor. It didn’t hurt, the kick was too weak to hurt my Overlord body, but it did hurt my pride.

“Vice-Prez, are you alright?!” Issei Hyuudo asked Tsubaki, who was more taken aback by the situation than me, as her sweet kiss was disrupted. Also because she wasn’t blind, she noticed that if I were to dodge the attack, it’d have hit her.

Yet this boy had the audacity to ask about her well-being.

“Haah,” I ran a hand through my hair as I actively held back a wave of willpower from crushing the fool’s soul to death. Then again, that might not work since his soul does hold the soul of a Heavenly Dragon.

“I was wondering why you were taking so long, so I came to see-! But to think I’d find this piece of shit assaulting you in broad daylight.” the stupid kid said and Tsubaki glared at his back, and since he was facing me with a determined look, he missed the glare from his ‘damsel in distress’.

I had enough as I stepped forward. “I understand this is going to trouble your peerage, but I’m going to break his limbs,” I said as Tsubaki’s glaring eyes shot wide and she looked at me.

“W-wait, this is just a misunderstanding, no need to go that f-” she began but I ignored her. In the end, she was a girl, she couldn’t bring herself to severely punish this guy who had indeed come to stop me with the intention of saving her.

Sadly for her, I didn’t give a fuck.

A little brat dared interrupt my make-out session? He dared kick me?

“You think I am scared of you?! Come and see—Boost!” he yelled and brought out his Sacred Gear, as I stopped walking to him and unleashed a wave of willpower. But nothing happened to him, as I suspected. The Heavenly Dragon protected his soul, but his body did freeze for a bit even though he doubled in power.

I walked calmly toward him and drew back my will, as it wasn’t doing much anyway. Issie stumbled forward once I withdrew my will, just as I appeared in front of him. I held his left shoulder as he stumbled into me, and before he could pull back, I grabbed Issie by his sacred gear and twisted his entire arm.

There was no way the sacred gear would come off, but in the end, it was attached to a human hand. It broke.

A loud crack resounded, and Issei Hyuudo yelled as his arm pointed in the opposite direction. “Argh, bastard! It hurts, it hurts, it-!!!”

He began yelling, as I let him fall to one knee. I lifted my feet and brought them down on his raised knee. Another crack, and he let out another cry. He fell to his side, his left arm and right knee broken, as he yelled toward the ground.

I grabbed him by the other arm, and just then a katana touched my neck. My eyes flickered to lock on it, and my willpower covered my neck in a way similar to how [Haki] from One Piece worked.

A reddish-brown-haired girl wielded the blade as she glared at me. “Stop this, let go of his arm!”

“No,” I said slowly and discharged electricity from my body, and the metal weapon touching my neck electrocuted the girl right away. She gasped, dropped the weapon, and jumped back away from me. Smart choice. Another girl rushed to stop me.

I could have broken Issei’s other hand right then, but I decided to let him register the other two’s pain for a bit longer as I looked at the new girl.

“I don’t see why we’re fighting,” said a blue-haired girl, who kind of reminded me of Xenovia, wielded two short shields on her forearms; they had pointy sharp ends. “Let go of him and this ends here!” she yelled, leaped at me, and moved her arms in a stabbing motion.

“What a pacifist. What a pity that I don’t have a Nobel with me.” I shook my head at my silly joke and kicked the girl on her solar plexus before she could reach me. She was sent flying a few hundred yards away.

Before another of these annoying interruptions could come, I smashed Issie’s elbow with a punch. His elbow shattered and his arm went limp, as he let out another painful shriek, feeling the bones break.

“One last remaining,” I kicked him gently to make him flip over, presenting his knees to me. I raised my foot but once again, I was interrupted.

“Garou, stop him.” This time it was a voice I recognized, it was Sona Sitri. I looked at her as she walked to this battlefield with others, with a sweating Rias beside her. But I didn’t recognize who she ordered; a gray-haired young man almost as tall as me. He seemed like a foreigner from his features, as he ran like a wolf on his fours, and rushed at me with surprising speed.

“Ah,” I recognized the smell in his blood. “A werewolf hybrid?”

“Grr…” he narrowed his golden eyes but didn’t say anything as he leaped at me. He wasn’t a weak little girl, so I had to stand on both my feet. I did that by bringing my foot down on Issei’s knee, as he let out one last yell of pain, and passed out right away.

The werewolf kid reached me in the air, his sharpened claws trying to cleave my face off.

I took a step forward, and the world seemed to slow down, the young man slowed down as I swung my fist at him. It landed on his face before his claws could touch mine, and he was sent flying into the old school building, breaking a few walls on the way.

“A-Aqua, stop already!” Rias yelled and I looked at her, before looking around me where a group had surrounded me. Rias’ peerage was among them too, including Kiba, but a few of them looked unsure. I was their good friend, after all.

Without the Red Dragon Emperor awake, who had quite the formidable soul, there was nobody here who could hold back the release of my willpower. So I decided to loosen it just slightly.

The weight of an Overlord, half a Sage, filled the air as almost everyone gasped in spiritual shock. A few’s knees gave in even, and someone puked blood.

There was still someone brave, however, I noted him as Genshirou Saji, Issei’s good friend. He seemed to have joined Rias’ peerage from the way he was standing near them, and I believe he should have stayed there, but he didn’t, he kicked the ground and rushed toward me.

“You can’t just hurt my friend and think I’ll let you off easy!” he yelled, pulling out his Sacred Gear, Absorb Line.

“Come on, try a bit harder,” I haven’t even used a real technique from my Path. Weaklings.

“Saji, stop!” a yell resounded, and a small white blob slammed onto Saji from the side, tossing him away from me before I could break his nose too. The white blob, Koneko, glared at the kid as she gave him two slaps, and looked around her at everyone.

“He isn’t hurting that Issei anymore, so leave him be! It won’t end well for anyone if you guys engage him in a battle!” she shouted and I chuckled. I think I like her the most out of everyone here, she has good survival instincts since she saw part of my memory.

Nobody said anything, but nobody attacked either. Most present here had seen me fight a Goddess and win, so they understood why Koneko was saying all that. Still, little Miss Sona was a prideful devil, she couldn’t just let such disrespect to a member of her peerage go away.

“Tsubaki,” she looked at her Queen for an explanation. “Give me a brief. What happened here?”

“Well…” Tsubaki felt extremely uncomfortable under a dozen eyes, especially mine as I held back a laugh. I knew she’d tell the truth; she was easy to read that way. After a bit of hesitation, she let out a sigh and rubbed her temple. “I… and Aqua were kissing, completely consensually… and then Issei rushed in, thinking Aqua was assaulting me… and attacked Aqua, who couldn’t dodge because doing so would have made the attack land on me… and so he got a little mad that Issei was bragging about being a hero while calling him a molester.”

“….”

“….”

“….”

It was understandable to them why I, with my clean reputation, despite being a little playful, might get mad at being labeled as a molester. ‘Why would he molest a girl when he can ask her to come to his bed, and she’d do so without question?’ – was what the looks that everyone gave Issei said.

Rias turned around to hide her laugh, while Sona face-palmed. “Well, this is embarrassing. I can still argue in Issei’s defense, moreover when you already have girlfriends, and breaking all his limbs for it still seems a bit too much, but...”

“But a man is only as worthwhile as his character, right?” I finished the line for her. I’d have had a hard time holding back my laugh if this was me from my 9th life. Oh, how people change.

“I suppose,” she sighed and looked at the blue-haired girl from before, who had walked back to the scene, as well as the gray-haired young man. “Tsubasa, Garou, can you take Issei to the Sitri household in the underworld? His injuries are serious.”

‘Hm? Tsubasa?’ I looked at the blue-haired girl who looked like Xenovia. She’s called Tsubasa? Why is she stealing my girls’ features? Such a thief, I’ll have to talk to her about it someday.

“As for the others, and you too Aquamarine,” Sona looked at us all. “Let’s return to the club room and continue our discussion. It appears Fallen Angels are acting out in our area.”

Huh, Fallen Angels?

Interesting. Those fucking retards that tried to kill Ai, what are they planning now?
