"....." Mai wasnāt surprised by what Eiji said in his heart.
As for what he said from his mouth?
"Oh, I see."
"Do you believe it, Mai?"
"Believe, believe."
Mai answered carelessly. Her guess was right, there was another reason why Eiji was following her.
She wasnāt angry and was just curious which woman he would woo next?
"Really? You really trust me?"
Eiji made a surprised expression.
[Mai loves me so much that she believes everything I say, I donāt know if I should laugh or smile at this point.]
Just do the latter.
Mai pulled her boyfriendās ear while smiling sweetly at him. "Eiji, do you want me to believe or not?"
"Of course believe."
"Then, get the grocery cart for me."
They had now reached the supermarket. Glancing in the direction Mai pointed, Eiji did as she said.
Then, the two of them began to walk around inside the supermarket while ignoring the many stares that were directed at them.
Put aside their handsome and beautiful appearance. The reason they attracted so much attention was because Mai was a very famous artist.
However, Eiji was no less famous because of the livestream that featured him yesterday. At this time, many people on the street recognized him as a Shinjuku hero or male god and secretly took photos of them.
Soon, many posts saying Eiji and Mai were shopping together went viral on the internet.
The two of them were dating!
Many men envied Eiji and many women envied Mai.
"Eiji, which one do you think is the freshest? Use your skills." In the vegetables and fruits area, Mai held two bananas in her hands.
Eiji unhesitatingly pointed to the banana in his left hand. "This one, itās sweeter."
He used the Voices of Ingredients to know that.
"Then, letās take this one."
Mai tossed the banana her boyfriend had chosen into the grocery cart. Then, she did the same with the other types of vegetables and fruits, they really looked like a couple.
Only after they exited the supermarketā Eiji who was holding what they all bought earlier couldnāt help but ask, "Mai-san, youāre not taking revenge on me, are you?"
He deliberately added ā-sanā to her name as a joke.
Mai put her slender finger on her lips and used her acting skills to make an innocent expression.
"No, I didnāt. How can you think like that?"
"Instead of a boyfriend, I feel like Mai-san treats me like a cow or a horse. In other words, her servant."
Eiji said that while remembering all the multiple choices the girl had given him when shopping.
With large grocery bags in both hands, he made a helpless expression that would make any woman want to comfort him.
He was doing it on purpose.
Mai knew this and showed her acting skills again.
Reaching out one of her slender hands to Eijiās face and rubbing it gently. Under everyoneās gaze, she stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips for a few seconds.
Ignoring the exclamations of the people around, Mai smiled faintly and said rather domineeringly. "Youāre my boyfriend, itās only natural that I trouble you a little, right? Donāt complain, Iāll reward you later."
[Hiss! Mai Sakurajimaās acting skills are online, sheās like a domineering female CEO right now.]
[This scene could even make a short video. Wait, a lot of people are videotaping us with their cell phones. Gosh, I canāt make a fool of myself.]
The heroines fell silent.
What are you going to do, Eiji?
Eiji nodded without shame on his face before he said, "Understood. Mai-san, I hope I can choose my own reward later."
"You..."
Mai was a little regretful, she thought Eiji would make a cute embarrassed expression. But, she forgot how shameless he was.
Speaking of rewards, he definitely wanted to do perverted things with her.
Maiās cheeks flushed slightly. "Alright, you can choose your reward later."
After all, this wasnāt the first time he did anything to her body.
If the protagonist Sakuta in the original work heard what Mai was thinking, he would definitely cry.
Why was the treatment he and Eiji received different!
The most intimate thing they did in the original work was just kissing after dating for three years.
But Eiji? Mai easily gave her virginity to him and did many perverted things with him.
Thatās so unfair!
On the way home, Eiji was in no hurry to ask Mai for his reward. The two of them walked leisurely under the afternoon sky until one of themā Eiji stopped walking and glanced in a certain direction.
"Whatās wrong, Eiji?"
Mai naturally followed the direction of his gaze and her lips twitched. Was this another reason he had previously mentioned?
What she saw was a girl with short pink hair talking to a man under an office building.
From this distance, she looked pretty and had a curvaceous figure. Eiji must like her because if not, he wouldnāt have stopped walking to stare at her.
"Hey Mai, doesnāt that girl look familiar?" Eiji asked.
Mai frowned. "No, Iām not familiar with her."
[Just kidding. After all, just like Itsuki, she just transferred to our school yesterday. Itās natural that you donāt know her.]
"....." Mai reached out her hand to pinch her boyfriendās waist.
You already know her name but in this situation, youāre playing me?!
Eiji felt no pain due to his high defense level. Currently, the attention was on the other heroine of The Quintessential Quintuplets.
If in the original work Itsuki aspired to be a food critic, then this girl aspired to be a...
"Iām sorry, Iāll definitely come on time next time! Please give me a role, any role is fine!"
Eiji and Mai were not ordinary people, they could clearly hear the two peopleās conversation.
Ichika even spoke so loudly that the man who was about to re-enter the company turned around and said, "Anything? Well... How about being a minor character?"
"You mean an extra? B-But you said my acting skills are pretty good, Iām at least suitable to be a supporting character."
"Earlier you wasted the chance to be a supporting character because you came late this morning. And didnāt you just say anything? Forget it."
The man turned around again and was about to enter the company.
Ichika panicked and hurriedly said, "I agree! Iāll be an extra."
Hearing this, the agent looked on indifferently again. "Tomorrow, before 9am, come again."
"Thank you."
Ichika bowed and smiled bitterly. After that conversation, she turned around to leave the company.
However, she was stunned because in front of the company, she saw two people in the same school uniform as her.
Or rather, they seemed to be students from the new school of her and her sisters.
If it was just that, she would only be a little nervous and embarrassed because they seemed to see what was going on with her.
However, she was familiar with the faces of the boy and girl in front of her.
"You two... M-Mai Sakurajima and Male God?! Do you need something from me?"
Ichika was surprised because as a high school student who aspired to be an actress or model, she certainly knew Mai. She even idolized her.
As for that very handsome boy with silver hair and red eyes... He was the Male God who defeated the gangsters fighting in the middle of the city yesterday!
She didnāt expect to meet them both here at the same time.
Eiji: Girl, this is fate. You have met your future husband.ā
Eiji quietly said in his heart and yes, not only was he eavesdropping on Ichikaās conversation, he was also reading her mind.
[Is it just me or have you been violating other peopleās privacy a lot lately, host?]
āThatās the first one.
[My feeling is right.]
āMiss System, did you hear what I said clearly?ā
Miss System ignored her host.
Mai didnāt change her expression even though Ichika recognized her. She was used to being recognized by others and pointed at Eiji who was standing beside her.
"Putting me aside, you recognize him too?"
"Mai, youāre rude. Itās no surprise that many people, especially pretty girls in this country recognize me, right?"
Eiji pointed at his own face.
Mai folded her hands under her breasts and looked at him flatly. "Eiji, I know youāre narcissistic but your words are a bit much."
"Itās not exaggerated at all. If you donāt believe me, ask this pretty girl."
Eiji looked back at Ichika, he used the opportunity to analyze her beautiful figure.
Those figures beat Yukino, Eriri and the other small-breasted heroines before they received the buff of the Master-Servant contract.
Worthy of being Itsukiās eldest sister, they were almost the same size!
Ichika didnāt notice Eijiās wolfish gaze, but seeing how he and Mai talked to each other, she wondered if the two of them had been in a relationship?
A gossipy look appeared on her face, it took a few seconds for her to realize that Eiji was asking her and calling her pretty.
Ichika was a little embarrassed and said, "I know you from those videos that are popular on the internet."
"You heard that, Mai? Iām Eiji Seiya, Iām a second year student at Kuoh Academy. You must be Itsukiās sister."
Eiji said while looking at Ichika.
Mai was too lazy to continue her argument with her boyfriend, she must have also watched the livestream about him that made him known as the Male God.
Ichika was again surprised.
"You know my sister, Eiji-kun? Wait, you two also seem to be students at Kuoh Academy!"
"Iām Itsukiās friend, we even had lunch together on the school rooftop earlier."
Hearing so many coincidences, Ichika began to feel numb.
However, she was excited because her idol, Mai Sakurajima attended the same school as her.
"Hello, although you already know me, Iām Mai Sakurajima. Iām a third-year student at Kuoh Academy."
Mai took the initiative to introduce herself.
Ichika suppressed her nervousness in front of her idol before saying, "Iām Ichika Nakano, Iām a second year student at the same school as you."
[I knew it, youāre the oldest of the Nakano quintuplets. Just like Itsuki, the faces and figures of you two are really similar.]
"....?" Ichika was stunned.
This voice... This is the same voice she was with earlier this noon!
Come to think of it, that voice was similar to Eijiās.
At first she hadnāt given much thought to what she had heard back then and thought she had misheard. But at this moment, Ichika realized that she could actually hear someoneās inner voice!
That someone was Eiji and he didnāt seem to know she heard what he had just thought.
In fact, not just Ichika and Itsuki, Eiji had also let the other three Nakano Sisters hear his inner voice at the same time before.
He decided to shoot five birds with one stone.
"Ichika? A name as beautiful as the person." Eiji said with a smile.
Mai pinched Eijiās waist again but unfortunately, his skin was too thick so her fingers hurt a little.
[Are you jealous, Mai? Sorry, I canāt help it.]
You have to hold it in! At least donāt be too flirtatious with other girls in front of me, Iām jealous.
Mai glared at him as if she was saying it with her gaze.
Eiji knew this and rubbed his nose.
Ichika blushed just because Eiji was flirting with her. If it had been any other man, she would have been calmer because this wasnāt the first time people had complimented her beauty.
It was precisely what made her more confident to become a model or actress like Mai.
Although the process was not as easy as she thought.
Ichika decided to put aside Eijiās inner voice and changed the topic by asking, "Weāve gotten to know each other and you havenāt answered my previous question."
"Ask that to Eiji, he suddenly stopped walking when he saw you and I just followed him."
Mai threw the question at Eiji.
The corners of her lips turned up, she wondered how he would answer.
Eiji indifferently said, "I just wanted to get acquainted with Itsukiās sister. Now that Iāve done it, Iām satisfied."
Mai rolled her eyes.
Eiji, you lie so naturally. With acting skills like that, why not apply to an agency to become an actress like me?
"Eh, thatās it?" Unlike Mai, Ichika was just wondering if Eiji just wanted to get acquainted with her?
For some reason, she was a little disappointed.
Wait, why am I disappointed?
We just met and Mai-senpai seems to be dating him. The two of them also look good together.
"Yes, but if you need any help, donāt hesitate to ask me or Mai, weāll definitely help."
With a smile and a harem halo shining on top of his head, Eiji looked like a prince on a white horse who would help a damsel in distress.
How could Ichika not be moved?
Her heartbeat was even beating a little faster than usual at the moment.
Mai: What about my opinion?
"Really? Eiji-kun, isnāt that too much? We just got to know each other..."
"Iām Itsukiās friend and youāre naturally my friend too."
Eijiās tongue was very eloquent.
"What about Mai-senpai?" Ichika asked curiously while looking at the girl she was referring to.
Mai sighed, she knew in this situation Eiji wanted her to cooperate with him and because she loved him to the point of not being able to live without himā her acting skills were active and she smiled at Ichika.
"Ichika-san, we can be friends. I also heard your conversation with that guy from the agency. If youāre having trouble, Iām willing to help you. I can also give you some advice on acting."
"Mai-senpai..."
Ichika looked at Mai in awe.
[Huh? I also said kind words to Ichika. Why doesnāt she admire me like she does Mai? This is wrong.]
[Should I tell Ichika that my acting skills are no worse than Maiās? With my powers, I can also help her to become a famous actress or model.]
While Mai was amused.
"....!" Ichika turned her amazed gaze to Eiji because was what he said true?
She knew that boy was so powerful that he could defeat hundreds of gangsters. But how could his acting skills be no worse than a top actress like Mai?
The last part he said in his heart was also very tempting.
"This... Iāll think about it first. For now, can Eiji-kun and Mai-senpai keep what you just saw and heard a secret? Especially from my sisters."
Ichika had actually not told her sisters and father that she wanted to pursue her goal of becoming an actress.
Because of this, she even skipped school a lot. It wasnāt that she didnāt want to tell them, but she was worried about her father being against her and thought to tell them once she was successful enough in her career.
āPretty, but still too naive and stupid.ā Eiji thought because he knew Ichikaās father actually knew what his eldest daughter was doing behind his back.
But never mind, with her future husband here, Ichika would be fine.
"Alright."
"Sure, Ichika-san."
Eiji and Mai agreed.
Ichika was delighted and her liking for them instantly increased sharply. Especially Eiji, since he was the only male friend she had and he was very handsome, her liking for him was even higher.
Later, they exchanged contacts and after that, Ichika bid them farewell.
After Ichikaās figure completely disappeared from sight, Mai looked at her boyfriend flatly.
"Are you satisfied, my boyfriend? Youāve asked your girlfriend to help you woo another girl."
"Ehem! Mai, I donāt deny that and thank you. Come on, Iāll take you home and pamper you."
Eiji shamelessly said that.
Maiās cheeks flushed slightly, she glared at him before saying, "Youāre welcome but instead of pampering me, you also want to pamper yourself. Eiji, youāre shameless!"
"By the way, Mai. Is Nodoka also in your apartment? If not, we can also invite her to a night out together."
"Pervert! Luckily Nodokaās back at her parentsā house and I hear that her and my auntās relationship has gotten better lately..."
Maiās gaze at her boyfriend became softer because if it wasnāt for him, her aunt would still be treating Nodoka harshly.
She bit her lip and said, "Leave Nodoka alone for now. As a reward, you can do anything to me tonight, Eiji."
"Thatās too bad. But okay, I want Mai to wear a bunny girl outfit like when we first met tonight and I also want..."
While walking towards Maiās apartment which was not far away, Eiji did not hesitate to say his shameless wishes.
Mai clenched her fists, but she did not refuse which would make her fans heartbroken.
On the other side, a girl with snow-white bobbed hair and amber eyes had actually been watching Eijiās movements for a long time after he came home from school.
She saw how the boy shopped with Mai and met with Ichika. She even read their lip movements until she understood everything they were talking about.
She came out from behind a tree on the side of the road and looked at Eijiās back with a cold smile.
"The boy Ojou-sama likes is a bastard! The leader and even Calude-sensei must have been fooled!"
"Eiji Seiya, youāre out of luck because I just returned from overseas. Tonight is your last night."
She said that without worrying about others hearing her. After all, she had already made sure there was no one else but her within a few meters.
Unfortunately, she had underestimated Eijiās hearing which was no worse than Supermanās.
She didnāt even know her existence had been known for a long time.
Eiji: I forgot to tell Mai. But thereās still another reason why I accompanied her to the supermarket.
[Arenāt you deliberately not telling her, host?]
Eiji: Youāre right, Miss System. But, what do I have to worry about? Tonight will be more fun~
