Chapter 18: The protagonist's eyes were wet, looks like he misunderstood
A few minutes before Issei saw Qin Tian and Rias inside the store.
As Qin Tian and Rias walked together inside the store on the 1st floor. They both suddenly heard the protagonist's inner voice.
{Why? Why is Rias walking with another man while holding hands like that!? And that man is Qin Tian! Are the two of them dating?}
{Ahh! Ahh! Qin Tian!! You again and again! Why do you keep trying to steal my woman!!}
{I know you enchant my women with magic. Yes, that's for sure! If you didn't use such despicable means. There's no way my woman would be interested in another man, other than me who has the aura of a True Harem King!}
{Only a Harem King like me deserves to have all the beautiful women in this world. And that includes you Rias! You were my first woman in my previous life and in this life you will also be my woman.}
Qin Tian and Rias were shocked.
The protagonist is here!
Qin Tian's face was still calm as usual, and he activated his Qi Sense silently to detect the presence of the protagonist around him.
And he found him!
The protagonist was in front of the shop he entered with Rias.
He wondered why the protagonist was here?
Meanwhile, Rias, who had just heard the protagonist's inner voice, panicked.
She didn't know what the protagonist would do this time.
So she quickly pulled Qin Tian's hand to the top floor of the shop.
"Tian, let's go upstairs. It looks like there's some good stuff there that I'm interested in."
"Sure, let's go there."
Qin Tian didn't know why Rias was seen hurriedly pulling him to the upper floor of the shop, he didn't suspect at all that Rias panicked knowing the protagonist was around the two of them.
[But I wonder what protagonist Issei will do this time? My Qi Sense now detects that he has entered the store, and seems to be searching for me and Rias.]
[He's not stupid enough to attack me in public, right? Well, if that happens I'll just fly him to the mountain and beat him up there.]
The heroines around the world became interested in hearing Qin Tian's inner voice.
They wondered if the protagonist would clash with Qin Tian this time?
If they could they wanted to watch it on the scene.
It's like watching a drama and the gossipy soul of the heroines become very interested in knowing what's happening on the scene.
Outside the store.
There was Grayfia who was doing her duty to keep an eye on Qin Tian.
She had actually been following Qin Tian and Rias for a long time, or rather she was following Rias who seemed to be meeting with Qin Tian today.
At first she saw that everything was fine and it seemed like the boy named Qin Tian had a good relationship with Rias.
Although this supervising task was quite troublesome, she actually quite enjoyed following Qin Tian and Rias today.
It's like watching a drama.
Earlier she had enjoyed seeing the interaction between Qin Tian and Rias who complimented each other on their respective performances.
Especially when Qin Tian complained saying the line that he didn't want to say his real compliments to Rias.
It made her want to laugh, although with her cold character she would only smile a little.
But not long after Qin Tian and Rias entered the store, she happened to see the protagonist Issei.
She of course started watching Issei secretly from a distance after seeing him.
Hearing Issei's inner voice when seeing Qin Tian and Rias walking together. Clearly Issei is currently angry and might be planning to attack Qin Tian or Rias.
She of course couldn't let that happen.
So she was currently following Issei secretly inside the store and seeing what he was doing.
Issei searched for Qin Tian and Rias' whereabouts on every floor of the store.
At the time inside the store, Grayfia also heard Qin Tian's inner voice that realized the existence of the protagonist.
"It's good that he's aware of the protagonist's presence nearby, and Rias should also know because she hears the protagonist's inner voice, right? Rias is also the heroine after all."
Grayfia had already confirmed that Rias also seemed to be able to hear the inner voice as she saw her expression change whenever Qin Tian's inner voice was heard today.
"Oh, it seems Issei continued searching to the 4th floor of the shop."
Then she immediately followed Issei silently while hiding her presence.
...
Qin Tian's side.
At this moment he was on the 4th floor of the store while waiting for Rias who was trying on anime cosplay in the dressing room.
He stood in front of the dressing room while focusing on monitoring Issei's whereabouts using his Qi Sense.
[The protagonist has reached the fourth floor and he's walking this way! Hehehe somehow I feel like I'm playing hide and seek.]
[Although I'm not hiding at the moment. Hm... 120 steps forward and walking 40 steps to the left you will find me the protagonist! Let's keep looking!]
The heroines:
Someone is currently eager to be discovered by the protagonist.
Is the straight man not worried that the protagonist will attack him after finding him?
Rias who was in the dressing room became increasingly uneasy.
Damn it, Issei.
Why do you keep bothering me, I'm not your woman!
You're interrupting my date!
She wondered how to get protagonist Issei to stop bothering her?
Should she talk to him directly for him to understand?
Rias shook her head.
The protagonist's brain screw was strange, even Grayfia who wanted to kill him before, misunderstood that she was threatened by Qin Tian.
She had to think of another way.
Inside the dressing room, she had currently taken off the cosplay outfit she was trying on and was about to put her dress back on.
She then remembered Qin Tian was standing right in front of her dressing room and an idea popped into her head.
Rias grinned.
She ruffled her hair, dropping the dress she was about to wear, leaving only her black underwear.
She deliberately broke her bra strap to make it difficult to wear and said to Qin Tian who was outside the dressing room. "Tian, can you come here for a moment? I want to ask you a favor, please!"
...
Qin Tian who was excitedly waiting for the protagonist, suddenly heard Rias calling him.
"What? Do you need me to get another shirt?" Qin Tian asked.
"No, I want your help inside here. Come quickly get in here with me." Rias said hurriedly.
[What does this girl want to ask me to enter the dressing room with her? Hey, the protagonist is nearby! What if he can't find me after I enter the dressing room?]
Rias who was inside the dressing room snorted.
Is the protagonist more important than the beautiful heroine who asked for your help?
That annoyed her and reached out her hand to pull Qin Tian.
"Wa-wait! Rias, don't pull me- ah..."
The moment Qin Tian entered the narrow changing room. In front of him he saw Rias who was only wearing her underwear looking at him with her big green eyes.
Rias smiled. "Satisfied, seeing it?"
"...." Qin Tian turned his face to the side and cursed the girl in front of him in his heart.
[This girl is too bold! Why are you only wearing your underwear? And black? That's a mature color for a high school girl like you!]
[Damn, her body is really nice... Seriously, what does Rias want to do to pull me into the changing room with her? Could it be her...]
The heroines around the world were annoyed when they heard the pause at the end of his sentence.
Can you just finish your sentence?
Don't make us more curious!
Only hear his voice, but can't see it in person..
It torments the heroines' curiosity.
In a temple.
Akeno, who was sweeping in front of her house, suddenly stopped her movements when she heard Qin Tian's inner voice this time.
"Ara, ara, Rias is so brave."
"What are you going to do in the dressing room with Tian-kun? Ah~ too bad I'm not there."
Akeno regretted not following Rias this morning when she was going shopping with Qin Tian.
She of course knew Rias' plan to take Qin Tian on a date under the pretense of shopping. After all, last night Rias had talked about that topic over WhatsApp.
"By the way, what will the protagonist do when he sees what Rias and Tian-kun are doing now?"
Akeno suddenly felt sorry for the protagonist, but he deserved it.
The protagonist think all the beautiful women in the world belong to him?
That person is too greedy and disgusting.
...
Rias was happy to hear Qin Tian praise her body.
She was very confident in her figure, especially her large, soft breasts.
Would any man be able to resist her charms after she showed her body like this?
Well, it looks like there is one in front of her.
Qin Tian kept staring sideways and didn't dare to look at her for too long.
Although her face was still calm, but he could see that her face was slightly red.
For some reason Rias had the urge to force him to look at and touch her body.
"So Rias, what favor do you need from me?" Qin Tian asked while looking straight into her eyes, ignoring her extremely seductive body.
Rias sighed.
This man was too straight...
Why don't you just jump on me and hug me right now?
A normal man would have done that in your place.
"My bra strap is hard to put on, can you help me? It seems a little broken, I can't do it myself." Rias said as she turned around to show her white back and lifted her long red hair forward out of the way.
Qin Tian nodded and said. "Alright, I'll give it a try."
He put aside dirty thoughts as he gazed at Rias' white and smooth back and tried to fixing her bra strap quickly.
While attaching the bra strap, he could see Rias' face from the mirror inside the dressing room.
Every now and then he glanced at the mirror and saw Rias grinning!
[Hey, you! Did you do this on purpose? What's with that smirk on your face? You must have done it on purpose!]
[Damn, are you so happy to take advantage of this young master's kindness? If it weren't for my good self-control. I would have eaten you right here now!]
Qin Tian was distressed, why would a main villain like himself manage to be fooled by the heroine.
This was wrong!
Rias instantly stopped the grin on her face when she heard his inner voice.
She subconsciously smirked when she saw Qin Tian with a serious expression fixing her bra strap earlier.
Ahh... Why does it feel so good to see him complain when touching my body?
Is this how Akeno feels every time she teases him?
After 3 minutes of fixing the bra strap and fitting it. Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief as he could immediately walk out of the dressing room, but Rias suddenly said.
"Tian, can you wait for me here and help me putting on the dress? Please, there's a zipper on the back of the dress that needs someone else's help to put it on." Rias said with pleading eyes.
Qin Tian rolled his eyes.
Did this girl want to deceive him again?
Well, it was just installing a zipper, so he didn't mind.
"Okay."
"Thank you!"
After helping Rias put on her dress, the two of them finally left the dressing room.
"Your hair is a mess, why don't you tidy it up immediately?" Qin Tian asked when he saw Rias' messy hair.
Somehow Rias looked even sexier when her hair was messy like that.
Wait, won't other people will who see her misunderstand that I did something to her inside the dressing room?
Rias smiled and said while hugging his hand. "It's okay, I can tidy it up on the way."
Qin Tian nodded and didn't question it further.
He then remembered something.
[Um? I almost forgot about the protagonist's existence! Hey, where is he now?]
Qin Tian expanded his Qi Sense and discovered that the protagonist Issei was 4 meters to his left!
But there was something strange...
Why was Issei kneeling under clothes rack while clutching his chest?
[Does Issei have a heart disease? Why is he kneeling down while clutching his chest behind a clothes rack?]
[Is he hiding? Rias and I are right in front of you! What are you doing? Where's the fight I'm waiting for?]
Rias was surprised to hear that Issei seemed to be very close to the two of them.
She looked around and found a person behind the many racks of cosplay clothes hanging to her left.
It was only a few meters and Issei should be able to see her and Qin Tian, right?
But what he was being done now?
By the way, this is the perfect time to escape!
"Tian, let's go to the cashier immediately. I want to pay for my clothes right away." Rias said hurriedly while pulling Qin Tian's hand.
"Are you sure you don't want to look around for more cosplay clothes?"
"No! I want to go somewhere else right now. Let's get out of here."
Qin Tian sighed.
He glanced briefly at the protagonist and said. "Alright, let's go."
Actually Qin Tian wanted to try something with protagonist Issei, for example like beating him up.
But there seemed to be something wrong with the protagonist today and the timing wasn't right because he was currently accompanying Rias shopping.
Well, he was sure the protagonist would look for it herself later. So there was no need to rush. He wasn't a bar-bar person like the impulsive protagonist who would attack someone directly just because he threatened him in his heart.
Actually during this time, he and Issei had only spoken once and that was just introducing themselves to each other.
The rest of the time he had only heard Issei's inner voice that wanted to kill him. But until now Issei had not even tried to kill him directly. It seemed Issei did not dare to kill him directly as long as he was around the heroine.
Qin Tian knows Issei is worried the heroines will hate him, if he killing someone close to them. So Issei always refrained from trying to kill him right away, at least until he had evidence to convince the heroines they wouldn't hate him after he killed him.
Qin Tian praised Issei secretly in his heart, because he wasn't a brainless impulsive protagonist. Well, although Issei's brain was indeed a bit strange, but he still had an IQ at least.
...
Issei, who was kneeling, felt his heart ache like NTR's victim.
When he saw the woman he loved coming out of the dressing room with another man with disheveled hair...
He knew it looked like the woman he loved had been desecrated by another man.
And that man was the trash Qin Tian that he hated the most.
{Why Rias? Why? I was your husband in a previous life! You shouldn't allow your body to be touched by another man, even if this world is a different time line from your past life!}
Issei roared in his heart.
He peeked at Rias and Qin Tian from underneath the clothes and heard the voice of Rias who wanted to leave immediately.
She sounded hurried as if anxious about something, and he also saw that Rias glanced at him as she walked away.
She seemed to want to quickly keep Qin Tian away from him.
Wait, the look Rias gave him before leaving...
It seemed to be a worried look. Yes, she seemed to be worried about him and was afraid that Qin Tian would realize him existence.
Although Rias' mind had been controlled by Qin Tian's magic. But because of Rias' strong previous life love for him, she naturally acted to keep him away from a bad person like Qin Tian.
Issei's eyes were wet when he realized what Rias was actually doing, it seemed like he misunderstood.
{Rias... It seems I underestimated your love for me from your previous life, even your current self still feels a very strong love for me.}
{You even tried to keep me away from Qin Tian because you were afraid I would get hurt by that bad guy, right?}
{You were even willing to sacrifice your body to Qin Tian, in order to distract him from me so that he wouldn't attack me. Silly girl... Why did you sacrifice yourself like that?}
Issei stood up with bloodshot eyes as he walked and looked in the direction Rias and Qin Tian had left.
{It looks like I'll have to come up with another plan to kill Qin Tian without revealing my identity. I know that bad guy will definitely threaten me with my woman that he controls when I try to kill him.}
{Don't worry Rias and my other women! I'll definitely save you guys from Qin Tian's clutches!! Especially you Rias, after I save you. I'll make you forget all the trauma Qin Tian caused, with fucking you for days.}
After Issei swore, he didn't try to find Rias and Qin Tian again. He went straight out of the store and back to his home to make a rescue plan.
Meanwhile Qin Tian and the heroines fell silent hearing the protagonist's inner voice.
Many heroines couldn't help but laugh at the protagonist's words.
Amazing...
It seems like the protagonist's delusional illness is getting worse these days.
Most heroines around the world feel lucky to have never met the protagonist Issei.
As for the heroines who have already met Issei? They have a headache because Issei hasn't given up on chasing them.
Qin Tian who was walking with Rias was tired of the protagonist's slander against him.
[Well, at least I know the protagonist is making plans to deal with me. I wonder what he'll do? I should order my subordinates to keep an eye on him.]
The subordinates Qin Tian was referring to were Raynare and Kalawarna who were currently busy cultivating in his house.
Meanwhile, Rias who was walking beside Qin Tian, clenched her fists angrily.
What was wrong with the protagonist's brain?
Obviously I intended to make you give up chasing me, yet you seem to have misunderstood my intentions.
And who sacrificed my body for you protagonist?!
At this moment Rias was eager to open up the protagonist's brain and fix his faulty brain screws.
...
Grayfia had returned to the underworld to report all the details of what had happened to her mother-in-law.
Vanelana laughed when she heard Grayfia's report.
"Next time you should bring a camera to record what happened Grayfia. I don't want to miss a good drama to watch." Vanelana said.
"Yes, Vanelana-sama I will next time." Grayfia said while nodding.
She felt it was a good idea if she could record everything that happened while watching Qin Tian and Issei.
...
In a church.
"Go away! This church doesn't need a witch like you!" Said an old man in priest's clothes.
"Why? Am I wrong? I'm just-" A blonde-haired girl wearing a nun's uniform wanted to speak, but her words were immediately interrupted.
"You're healing a Devil, even though you're a nun of the Church that worships God. Do you understand what that means?"
"Bu-but that devil was injured in front of the Church and it doesn't seem like he's evil like the other devils. So I-"
"All Devils are evil beings! the Church teach you basic knowledge about that, right? Anyway, you are now expelled from this Church, please go somewhere else!"
The old man said cruelly and left the blonde-haired girl standing alone in front of the Church door.
The sky was dark and the night air was cold.
The blonde girl who was stripped of her nun status and expelled from the Church, was now walking aimlessly away from the Church.
As she walked she wiped her tears sadly while bracing herself to walk and carry her suitcase.
"Ah... Where should I go? I hope god guides me to the right path." The blonde girl said as she put her hands together and prayed.
"Or maybe those voices can help me?"
The voices she was referring to, were the ones she had been hearing in her head since a few days ago.
