Chapter 257 ~ Divine Spirit “Everyone, it’s nice to meet you~ My name is Erya Flugel, and I come from Germany~! I’m also Visha’s childhood friend~! I hope we get along~!” Cheers of excited teenage boys and applause from the girls filled the classroom, welcoming their second beautiful foreign classmate. The cheers were especially loud with Shuu and his cohorts of single, desperate friends that Shizuka had to slam her desk to silence the class. “Alright, settle down, children! Erya, go ahead and take your seat there at the back.” “Yes, sensei!” She said before bowing towards her teacher. All eyes followed her as she gracefully made her way to the back of the class, admiration evident in their gazes. Her perfect model-like figure and elegant gait captivated everyone as she walked down the aisle between Yuuji and Viktoriya. She secretly waved and flashed a smile at Visha, who, still caught off guard, absentmindedly waved back in a daze. Then, her gaze shifted to Yuuji, who now looked at her with a helpless smile—and in response, she grinned. ‘Hehe~ Surprised, aren’t you?’ ‘I concede. This girl’s really something...’ Erya had declared that she would see him soon, but even he hadn’t expected it to be this soon—the very next day. Perhaps she had already been in Japan when she called him. “Well then. Since that’s over with, let’s end homeroom now. You guys, don’t get too excited and get ready for the next class.” ““Rise! Bow!”” ““Thank you very much, sensei!”” As soon as Shizuka left the classroom, Visha shoot up from her seat and rushed to Erya. “Erya! I didn’t know you’d be transferring here! When did you arrive in Japan?! Why didn’t you tell me?” “Ahahaha, calm down Visha! I was trying to surprise you~! I just arrived in Japan yesterday, and I stayed at a hotel last night.” She explained, winking at her as her lips curled into a cheeky smile. "I got here thanks to Aunty’s help. She even booked a hotel~ But it’s only for one night, so... can I stay at your place?" Erya clasped her hands together, looking up at Visha with an exaggeratedly sad expression. Yet, beneath the act, her eyes held genuine pleading—she truly had nowhere else to stay. Seeing this, Visha let out a sigh and placed her hands on her hips. "Hah... Of course, you can! But you and Mom really need to start telling me about these things beforehand." “Hehe~ It wouldn’t be a surprise if we did~” “It doesn’t need to be!” “Hello! It’s nice to meet you~” “Hello~!” Just then, Chitoge and Yotsuba approached, greeting Erya with cheerful smiles. “Ah, Chitoge-chan, Yotsuba-chan. Please let me introduce her. This is Erya, my childhood friend from Germany.” “Hello~ It’s nice to meet you too~! Please take care of me~” “It’s nice to meet you! My name is Kisaki Chitoge! Just call me Chitoge. Please take care of me~” “My name is Nakano Yotsuba! Just call me Yotsuba too! I’ve been in Viktoriya-chan’s care! Let’s get along~!” “Yes~! Let’s get along~!” The girls quickly became engrossed in their animated conversation while Yuuji watched from the side. Just then, he felt a nudge at his side—Shuu had suddenly appeared beside him. “Hm~ What a sight~” “...What are you on?” Yuuji raised an eyebrow and looked at him weirdly. “Oh, can’t you see? Beautiful girls talking to each other with smiles on their faces. It’s practically heaven~” “...Sure.” He glanced at Erya, who seemed to be genuinely enjoying the conversation, then at Visha, whose happiness was evident. A soft smile formed on his lips. Turning his gaze, he noticed Ai sitting silently, observing the lively exchange with quiet intrigue. “How about joining them?” “Eh?” She snapped out of her daze and turned toward Yuuji. “You get along with Chitoge, Yotsuba, and Visha. How about trying to join them?” “...” She pondered for a moment before rising from her chair and joining the group. Before long, she was smiling, effortlessly blending in with the girls. Yuuji watched them, a gentle smile forming on his lips. ‘It’s certainly a nice sight.’ --------------------------------X-------------------------------- The grogginess of morning classes vanished the moment the bell signaled the start of lunch break with a loud ring. As soon as the teacher left, the classroom buzzed with chatter. Some students leaped from their seats, racing to the cafeteria before it became too crowded, while others casually pulled their lunches from their bags. Yuuji slipped his textbook and notebook back into his bag. And just as he was pulling out the lunch box Mira prepared this morning, Visha, Erya, and Ai came to his table. “Yuuji, would you like to have lunch with us?” Visha asked, her soft smile shining brighter than her golden, sunlit hair. “Yes, that’d be nice. Let’s go have lunch together.” “Raku, do you want to join us?” Ai turned towards Raku and extended the invitation. “Oh, sure. Let’s go.” “Me me! Me too! Let me join too!” Shuu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, raising his hand excitedly as he begged in a loud voice. “O-Of course.” Visha replied with a helpless smile. “Hey, can we join you guys too?” “Me too~!” Chitoge and Yotsuba joined the group and were warmly welcomed by everyone. As they left the classroom, the group grew even larger when Chitoge invited Ruri and Onodera to join them. Of course, Yuna and Nina were also included when they arrived at Yuuji’s class to have lunch with him. Introduced to Erya, the girls quickly hit it off, chatting amicably as they made their way to the cafeteria. “What a sight~ Oh hooo~ We’re so lucky huh, Raku?” “We’re becoming the center of attention...” “Can’t be helped. After all, most of the top beauties in our school are here now!” The envious glares from the guys they passed made Raku uncomfortable, as he preferred a peaceful life. But as Shuu had said, it couldn’t be helped. After all, they weren’t just walking with one or two, but nearly ten of the most beautiful girls in the entire school. It was only natural that those surrounded by such beauties would become the target of envy—even if the group hadn’t gathered because of them. Raku and Shuu both knew that these girls had come together because of Yuuji, as he had been the first one invited. Yuuji was the one who should have been the object of envy. Even they couldn’t help but feel a little envious of him. But they didn’t mind it much. Meanwhile, the target of the entirety male population of the school’s envy, was looking at his phone, reading a message he just received. It was written in german. [Erya Flugel: “Wow~ You’ve got quite a lot of girlfriends, Yuuji. As expected of a playboy.] [Erya Flugel: “So? Which one is in your harem? Is it Chitoge and Yotsuba? Or maybe Ai too? I know Visha will enter your Harem soon enough, but she’s not in it now~ Haha~ Don’t worry~ Now that I’m here, I’ll make it easier for you~] [Tsubakihara Yuuji: “ (━┳━ _ ━┳━) ”] [Erya Flugel: “b(^⌣^)d”] Yuuji shook his head, letting out a quiet sigh in his mind. It seemed his peaceful school days were about to be turned upside down now that Erya was here. --------------------------------X-------------------------------- Lunch went as Yuuji expected. Peaceful... At least, as peaceful as it could be with Erya pushing her childhood best friend towards Yuuji, both figuratively and literally. She would tease her by almost exposing her thoughts about Yuuji in their text messages or subtly nudging her toward him, causing her to fall into his arms more than a few times. Everyone laughed at Visha’s flustered reactions and panicked attempts to recover. But now and then, Chitoge, Yotsuba, and Ai couldn’t help but glance at her with a hint of envy. While Yuna and Nina, noticing the situation, joined in the fun to tease Yuuji and deliberately “fought” for his attention, making the already chaotic and enviable situation even more so. Still, everyone enjoyed their fun during lunch and finished the rest of their school day. Yuuji returned home with Yuna and Nina after Visha and Erya rejected his offer to help them move Erya’s luggage from her hotel to Visha’s home. She had only brought the necessities and planned on buying the rest of the things she’d like to have here in Japan. Upon returning home, the necklace around Yuuji’s neck glowed and transformed back into Alice and Aria in their human form the moment he closed the door. They jumped into his arms, clinging onto his neck. Alice nuzzled her face to his neck, while Aria laid hers on his chest while Yuuji brought the twins up to his room after greeting Mira and Aika. After having dinner with the whole family and taking a bath, Yuuji gave Yuna, Nina, and Mira a goodnight kiss and retreated to his room for the night, along with the twin slimes. Then, on his bed, he sent a message to the group chat. [Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Everyone, I’d like to try using the Akashic Records of Divine Spirits. But what kind of divine spirits do you think I should summon...?] There was a moment of silence, before soon enough, his friends began sending back replies. [Kiryuu Aika: “Darling, I vote for a super beautiful and sexy divine spirit! A MILF, preferably! And also maybe one who can help with missions in my world!”] [Tsubakihara Yuuji: “...”] [Lelouch Lamperouge: “Disregarding the first few parts of her words... I agree that we should consider someone who could help us with missions in her world.] [C.C: “I can easily deal with the devils and take care of any healing we need with my SSR. So maybe you can summon a strong fighter?] [Shiba Tatsuya: “I believe we are set in the offensive with Erika, Yuuji, Albedo, and I as vanguards. Satoru-san, Lelouch, and Aika can support us at range with magic. While C.C acts as our rear guard.] [Albedo: “It’d be difficult to ascertain what kind of Divine Spirit would be suitable for the mission without knowing what kind of missions we’ll be receiving...] [Tsubakihara Yuuji: “That’s true... But may be we can predict it based on the events that happen in the anime.”] [Kiryuu Aika: “Hm... I think we’ll be frying some chicken, fighting some crows and bats, and some sacred gear users...] [Albedo: “In that case, it seems most of our missions will revolve around combat.”] [Lelouch Lamperouge: “In that case, it’d be best if we could secure a safe base of operations. One that will be impervious to divination and difficult to invade.] [Chiba Erika: “So kind of like a magical fortress? But with all the flying and mythical beings we might be facing, we’ll need a flying magical fortress.] [Tsubakihara Yuuji: “...Should I use the Free Mission Support Item I got last time? I don’t know if I can get something like a flying magical fortress, but there are some rare-ranked items that might be useful.] [Kiryuu Aika: “Wait a sec... I think I’ve seen something like that from the chat shop!] [Chiba Erika: “Hm? What could it be...?”] [Suzuki Satoru: “Could she have found some sort of flying magical fortress?”] [Shiba Tatsuya: “Even if she did, it might be quite expensive. And although it might be useful, I don’t think we’re in a dire need of it.] [Tsubakihara Yuuji: “...I guess we should continue discussing who I should be summoning later on. I’ll be summoning it when we arrive in the other world when the mission starts.] [Lelouch LamperougeL “Agreed.”] [Suzuki Satoru: “I agree.”] [Shiba Tatsuya: “That’s a good idea.”] [Albedo: “As you will, my love.”] [Chiba Erika: “Sounds good.”] [C.C: “Alright.”] [Kiryuu Aika: “Wait! I found it!!! Check this out!] Yuuji read the description of the item, and his eyes widened in surprise. “This is...”
