Inside the inn where Libik and Eiji's other women were waiting. Instead of returning to the Arbitrator headquarters, Eiji brought Ceres here.
It didn't take long for the girl to wake up from her stupor. Currently, they were sitting across from each other in the living room.
"Eiji-sama, here's your tea." Like a wife, Libik delivered a cup of tea to her husband.
Eiji accepted it and sipped it. "It tastes good."
She complimented the beautiful Demon Lord's former commander.
Libik smiled, she was not wearing her veil so many men would be mesmerized by her beauty.
Then, Eiji glanced at Ceres who was sitting absentmindedly in front of him. He pretended not to know who she was and said, "Girl, don't be shy. You can also drink tea made by Libik."
"Um... O-Okay."
Ceres drank her tea nervously while looking at Eiji who was sitting with Libik, Hijiri, Anastasia, Rubine on the long sofa. Because there wasn't enough seating in the simple inn room. Lugh, Radix, Sora, Ilia, Selina, Okto and Mina stood behind the others.
Still, the sight of a handsome man surrounded by so many beautiful women was really unusual.
"So what's your name? I found you unconscious in the ruins. If I hadn't happened to be there at the time, you might have been eaten by the monsters in the ruins."
Eiji said that while ignoring the gazes of Hijiri and the others.
Some of them knew he was pretending.
Ceres didn't know this and said. "My name is Ceres Celestial. I don't know why I was inside the ruins you said. However, thank you for saving me, Eiji."
Eiji and the women had introduced themselves before so she knew his name.
"Ceres Celestial? A name as beautiful as the person."
Hearing what Eiji said, Ceres felt a little embarrassed.
"..." Everyone.
"What about your family, Ceres-san? Do you remember?" Anastasia ignored the fact that her boyfriend was flirting with another girl.
After all, it was Eiji.
He almost did it every day.
Ceres shook her head and smiled wryly. "Sorry, I don't remember anything other than my name."
"You have amnesia?" Hijiri asked with a surprised expression. Although from Eiji's previous inner voice, she had a guess that this girl named Ceres was Aryan's vessel.
Except for Eiji, they were actually a little wary of her.
"It seems so. I have amnesia." Ceres did not refute what Hijiri said.
And she wasn't lying, other than her name, she didn't know anything about herself.
[Just like in the original work, Ceres had amnesia. Perhaps it was caused by Aryan choosing her as her host.]
[Poor girl! As the Harem King, I can't let her suffer, right? I remember that after Aryan awakens, her body and soul will even be lost.]
Ceres really is a poor girl.
The heroines agree but Eiji, how do you want to help her?
You didn't do that to woo her, right?
Many of them could guess the answer and could only remain silent.
Sure enough, Eiji made a pitying expression on his handsome face before saying, "Because you have amnesia, Ceres. How about from now on you are our family?"
"Ehh? Is that alright? Hijiri and the others might object..."
Ceres was moved and looked at Eiji with slightly wet eyes.
Even so, she was worried that the other women in Eiji's family didn't like her.
Hijiri and the others' lips twitched. How could they possibly object after Eiji said that?
Although they really didn't mind because Ceres was pitiful.
"Ceres, we don't mind."
"Hijiri, right. We would be happy to have a sister like you."
"Anyone who objects, say so."
"See? None of us have any objection to you joining our family, Ceres."
Started by Hijiri and Anastasia, the other women showed that they didn't mind either.
Ceres was happy and looked at Eiji gently it was all because of him, he was somehow very kind to her.
While Hijiri and some of the other women invited Ceres to go shopping together so that they could get closer.
"Master, did you forget to tell that girl about her status in your family?" Sora wrapped her arms around his neck from behind and whispered.
She was acting flirtatious which would make Arata feel green.
Luckily he was dead and didn't have to see that scene.
"Sora, what do you mean? Ceres is my family member, didn't I say that clearly enough before?" Eiji drank his tea again with a confused expression.
Sora rolled her eyes and thought her new master was really good at tricking a girl.
Now she understood why Arata always lost to him quickly and lost all the girls he got close to including herself. Putting aside the difference in power between them, Eiji's skill in wooing women of various ages was on another level.
The proof was that in less than an hour after Ceres and he got acquainted, he had already made her one of his harem members.
The girl didn't realize it but when she did, she probably wouldn't refuse because the good feelings she had for Eiji were already very high.
This method was really scary!
Even more so when Ceres was the host of Aryan. When the Goddess woke up and found out she already had a husband, Sora couldn't help but laugh.
"Master, you didn't tell Ceres that she joined your family as one of your women."
"Sora, I believe I've already said it. Right, girls?"
Eiji did not acknowledge her and asked the other women.
He blinked his eyes as if signaling them.
Just like Sora.
Radix, Libik, Rubine, Mina and Lugh thought Eiji was shameless.
...
After picking up Ceres and letting her join the big Seiya family, Eiji did not go straight to the Arbitrator headquarters to meet again with Lilith and the other Trinity Seven.
He took the time to have a small vacation with Ceres and his other women.
They didn't go too far and just walked around the same town while buying things they wanted.
In the process, Ceres' positivity level certainly increased.
[That reminds me that in the original work after Aryan took over Ceres' body completely. She was affected by Ceres' emotions towards Arata.]
[It made her obsessed with that boy that she even made a bet with him. The content of the bet was that as long as Arata managed to make her fall in love with him like he did with Trinity Seven, she would not assimilate into all dimensions which was tantamount to canceling her intention to end the world.]
Hearing this, Hijiri and the other women there were a little excited.
Didn't that mean there was another way to keep Aryan from destroying the world besides fighting with her?
Looking at Eiji who was holding Ceres' hand and giving her ice cream, they realized that he seemed to want to replicate the scenario in the original work!
"Ceres, wait a minute."
"What's wrong, Eiji?"
Ceres asked confused.
But when Eiji bent down and picked up a bit of ice cream at the corner of her lips with one of his fingers, she widened her eyes and was surprised to see him put it in his mouth.
Her face was hot.
Combined with Eiji's extremely handsome face, Ceres' heart couldn't help but beat fast.
"There was a bit of ice cream on your lips. Now it's gone, let's continue."
"O-Ohh, thank you."
"You don't need to be so polite, Ceres. We're family now."
The word 'family' that Eiji again said made her heart feel sweet.
To be honest, Ceres was not very innocent, she could feel the ambiguity in his words and actions.
Even so, she did not refuse.
Due to her memory loss, she could only depend on him.
In that situation, it was hard for her to dislike that boy.
[+5.]
Eiji checked Ceres' positive level and was satisfied to see that it had reached 75 points.
The beautiful girl was easy to conquer, but he wasn't surprised.
In the original work it wasn't even explained how exactly Ceres fell in love with Arata.
She didn't have many scenes and Aryan suddenly rose.
Time passed and just after he finished dating many women from Trinity Seven at once, Grayfia suddenly contacted him through the Master-Servant contract and wanted to tell him about certain news.
Although they were in different universes, her Master-Servant contract level allowed her to contact him.
[This means that Grayfia's love for me is bigger than the universe!]
...
Draconic Deus.
"....?"
At the Seiya family residence, Grayfia did not know why Eiji suddenly said such a thing in his heart.
Although it was true that she loved him very much.
Could he not say that?
It was rather embarrassing especially when many women could also hear his inner voice.
Grayfia's face was very calm like a professional maid, but deep in her heart she actually felt embarrassed.
"Eiji-sama, Chitoge and her friends have gone home."
"What?!"
Are you so surprised?
Grayfia felt slightly amused and the corners of her lips turned up.
"Why are they going home?"
"Of course it's because the student exchange program is over."
"Isn't that too early? It's only been a day."
Grayfia was silent for a moment before saying, "It's been three days here, Eiji-sama. But don't worry, Asia and the others have been trying to be your wingman and make the girls at least not hate the harem."
"Really?"
"Yes."
...
In the world of Trinity Seven.
Eiji was initially a little disappointed because he forgot about the time difference between the world of Trinity Seven and the world of Highschool DxD.
Before leaving here, he originally thought the time difference was still the same as in the past.
But now the time difference had changed slightly.
Even so, hearing what Asia and the other women living in his house were doing, he was happy and gave them a thumbs up.
"Good job! Grayfia, pass on my praise to Asia and the others. By the way, is that all you want to say?"
[Suppose you want to say 'Eiji-sama, I miss you so much. Three days without you is like three thousand years to me, woo woo!']
The heroines...
They felt embarrassed just hearing such words let alone Grayfia!
There was no way she would say such a thing even though she missed Eiji.
"There's one more thing, it's about the invitation to attend Kaguya Shinomiya's birthday party which will be held three days from now. This afternoon, a girl named Hayasaka delivered the invitation directly to the house."
"A birthday invitation from Kaguya? I don't know how I got invited but sure, I'll remember it."
Just kidding.
After he killed her evil eldest half-brother, Kaguya must have felt grateful to him.
And since her birthday was approaching, she wanted to use the opportunity to meet him again.
But due to her tsundere personality, the person who gave her the idea to invite him must be Hayasaka.
In the original work, Hayasaka was Kaguya's love strategist.
It was a pity that he was not at home when the sexy blonde girl visited his house.
Eiji sighed and asked. "Anything else, Grayfia?"
"Nothing for now, Eiji-sama."
"Are you sure?"
"....."
He could hear the sound of Grayfia's breathing which seemed to be preparing to say something.
"I miss you, Eiji-sama. So hurry home, okay?"
Before Eiji answered with a grin on his face, Grayfia hung up. Ehem, I mean cut off communication through the Master-Servant contract.
He rubbed his nose and thought how cute, Grayfia.
The next day.
After exercising with Libik and the other women except Ceres in the inn's bedroom all night.
Eiji returned to the Arbitrator headquarters.
There, he saw not only Aetheria, Aries, Arsha, Master Liber and the Trinity Seven. Ignoring Master Biblia who waved his hand while saying, "Hello Eiji-kun~!"
He also saw new faces. Or rather other beautiful women who were looking at him.
"Eiji, you're finally back." Lilith glared at him as if she was not satisfied that he had only returned now.
Although she knew yesterday he was busy finding Aryan's host, Ceres and even bringing her to his harem.
"Lilith, I'm back. So how did it go? My women are very strong, right Aetheria?"
This time he omitted the '-san' when calling his mother-in-law's name which made it sound intimate.
Aetheria didn't mind especially after the mother and daughter conversation she had with Arsha last night.
She now knew why that girl and Trinity Seven were stronger than the Arbitrators!
She was surprised and a little distressed that the cabbage she had grown over the years had been eaten by Eiji.
[A/N: That cabbage was Arsha that Aetheria had raised for many years.]
With some embarrassment she replied. "Yes, they exceeded my expectations. Our chances of defeating the Aryan must have greatly increased."
Right after she said that, a woman with long black hair walked up to Eiji and greeted with a friendly smile. "Hello Eiji-kun, I've heard great things about you."
She was like a traditional Japanese woman as she was wearing a simple kimono and holding a folding fan.
She smiled softly but from the start her eyes were always closed.
In the original work, Eiji remembered she was Master Biblia's sister-in-law and her name was...
"Ah, I'm one of the Arbitrators, my name is Minamoto Harukage."
"Minamoto-san, it's nice to meet a Yamato Nadeshiko-style beauty like you in this world. And no, the things I do are not that great."
Eiji was being humble and not arrogant, and at the same time, he was flirting with the woman in front of him.
However, he did not expect Miyamoto to easily blush when she heard his words.
"Ehem! Eiji-kun, Miyamoto is my sister-in-law." Master Biblia pretended to cough and told Eiji Miyamoto's other identity.
Eiji pretended to be surprised. "Ohh? Is Minamoto-san married?"
"No, Eiji-kun. I'm still single." Miyamoto hurriedly answered as if not wanting Eiji to misunderstand.
Actually, she became Master Biblia's sister-in-law because he was married to her younger sister.
"That's good, I'm glad to hear that."
"Oh my."
Miyamoto laughed while covering her mouth with her folding fan.
Master Biblia opened his mouth speechlessly and his glasses cracked slightly, he wondered if Eiji would become his brother-in-law!
Ignoring Master Biblia's reaction, other beautiful women joined in introducing themselves.
The first was a woman with a face somewhat similar to Akio but more aggressive, the Arbitrator of Light, Faunaria Rod.
Maris Stella, Arbitrator of Beauty.
Murakumo Amane, Arbitrator of Strength.
Altana Magnus, Arbitrator of Life.
They looked at Eiji in a rather strange and unusual way, but the most obvious was Altana.
She was looking at him with lust as if she was very interested in him!
Eiji smiled kindly, in the original work he remembered this sexy brown-skinned woman in skimpy clothes was very interested in Arata but now?
[Still, why do I feel like these women want something from me? Suspicious.]
He couldn't help but glance at Liese as he saw her making a mischievous expression.
"Hey Lilith, did Liese do something unusual yesterday?"
"That..." Lilith was a little nervous and whispered in Eiji's ear. "L-Last night, when we were bathing together with Aetheria-san and the other female Arbitrator, she told them about the Master-Servant contract that increases our power."
"So that's it."
"Is that alright, Eiji?"
Lilith was worried and regretted not stopping Liese.
Eiji was a little surprised at first but he soon thought Liese did a good thing!
"It's fine."
[Actually that's good, Liese has done a wingman operation for me.]
Lilith was silent and increasingly regretted not stopping Liese!
Eiji turned his gaze to Aetheria and asked.
"So Aetheria, what else do you need from us? Feel free to tell me. I'm willing to help the Arbitrators in any way so that we win against Aryan."
He said that as if he himself was not strong enough to win against Aryan without anyone's help.
'Anything?' Aetheria's cheeks flushed slightly and hesitated. Unfortunately before she could answer, the world froze.
!!!
Time stopped for everyone except those who were strong enough.
"We're out of time." Master Biblia said with a serious expression while adjusting the position of his glasses.
Eiji regretted not checking the plot first with Future Insight this morning.
[Hahaha!]
'Miss System, don't laugh.'
[Sorry, it's funny to see my host failing to exercise with the women because of the deadline.]
"..."
This woman...
When will he be able to slap her ass?
