Chapter 608: Ruka’s heart rate
Then, Pansy’s request was deemed to have been successful. Cosmos who had seen how the Service Club’s activity in resolving requests was surprised.
"Do you guys always resolve the students’ requests like this?"
"Of course not, Sakura-san. It depends on the student’s request."
Yukino answered Cosmos’ question.
"What if there are similar but slightly different requests in the future?"
They didn’t know why but Cosmos seemed to be fixated on this topic.
Eiji didn’t know either but he had a guess that it was plot related in the future and he smiled.
"As members of the Service club, it is our duty to complete the clients’ requests even if they are strange."
[Why do I feel like I’ve heard your words somewhere, host?]
’That’s just your feeling, Miss System.’
Miss System couldn’t believe it.
Yukino, Pansy and the others felt Eiji’s words were a bit much, especially for the other Service club members. So Yukino hurriedly added, "Even so, we will definitely refuse any malicious or immoral requests."
[What about making someone feel green and wearing a green hat for the sake of the client’s happiness? That must be an exception, right?]
Eiji, can you shut up?
You don’t know that Cosmos also seems to be able to hear your inner voice now!
Yukino complained in her heart and yes, she noticed the change in Cosmos’ expression whenever Eiji and Hachiman’s inner voices were heard.
Hearing Eiji’s inner voice, Cosmos was amused and thought the boy was cute.
"So that’s it... Congratulations, there’s no need to disband the Service Club."
"Yey~! Yukino, Eiji, we did it!"
"Hey Yuigahama, what about me?"
"Eh yeah, Hikki too."
"What’s with that awkward tone?!"
Yuigahama exclaimed and Hachiman snorted like a tsundere.
"Congratulations to the service club."
"Fufu. Eiji, you owe me, right?"
Megumi congratulated and Pansy said flirtatiously to her boyfriend. Still, the former was a little surprised as Eiji put his hand on her thigh, her face slightly flushed.
While the latter regretted saying that because at this moment, she felt Eiji’s hand squeezing her ass lewdly.
"Then let me give you a present, Pansy. And Megumi, it just so happens that you, Yukino and Yui—"
Before Eiji finished his words that had evil intentions.
Yukino immediately pulled Yuigahama and Cosmos’ hands.
"Ah Yui, Sakura-san. How about we enjoy the school festival together?"
Yuigahama and Cosmos were not even given the chance to answer and they were pulled out of the room by Yukino.
It wasn’t that Yukino didn’t want to give Eiji a chance to eat her, but she didn’t want to do it at school especially during the school festival.
What if someone else saw them?
Although Eiji might be able to overcome that problem with his power. But no, she felt herself too perverted and immoral to do those things with Eiji when many students were enjoying the school festival outside.
There were now only four people including Hachiman left in the room. Hachiman looked at Eiji who was sitting with Megumi and Pansy on his left and right... his lips twitched.
{If there is any Riajuu in this world that I would most like to see explode, it would be Eiji. Unfortunately this boy is too good at pretending, Hose’s level is even lower than his.}
{Damn it! How could I not know Eiji and these two girls were planning to do something?}
The heroines:
They felt that the protagonist Hachiman was really good at reading situations. However, he was a bit pathetic now.
Eiji wasn’t surprised. In the original work, Hachiman wouldn’t have been able to make Yukino and Yuigahama fall in love with him if not for his high EQ.
Hachiman at least was not like most other romcom protagonists who were completely ignorant in understanding human emotions.
"I... I’ll also enjoy the school festival with my friends." Hachiman said awkwardly and immediately turned to walk out.
But Eiji chuckled and said, "Hachiman, do you have any friends besides me and the Service club members?"
Hachiman’s footsteps stopped, he turned around and glared at Eiji with an embarrassed face. "S-Shut up! Of course, I at least have one or two friends! Eiji, don’t look down on me!"
"Really? What’s your friend’s name?"
"....."
Hachiman was silent.
Megumi and Pansy tried to hold back their laughter because they weren’t as evil as Eiji to laugh at Hachiman.
Eiji thought the boy was lying but he didn’t expect at this point—
"That’s my classmate and he’s a member of the tennis club... His name is Saika Totsuka. That’s it, have fun bastard!"
Hachiman did not forget to curse at Eiji before running out.
He couldn’t wait to fulfill the promise of going around the school with Totsuka at the school festival today.
That’s like a date, Eiji thought.
"....." He wondered if the Hachiman in this life would really go down that road with Totsuka?
Who is Saika Totsuka?"
Anyone who had watched Oregairu’s anime knew he was a femboy who really liked Hachiman!
[Hachiman, I suddenly feel a little guilty for snatching Yukino and the other girls away from you. Because of that, you and Totsuka in this life will probably really.... Hey this is sad. But as your friend, Hachiman. I’ll support you even if you date a femboy!]
Hachiman is dating a femboy?
And you support it, Eiji?
Many heroines including Yukino and Yuigahama who had just come out of the service club room were shocked. Even so, they did not doubt that Eiji was really in favor of it.
Or rather the boy seemed to be excited and had no plans to stop his friend.
"Eiji, at least lock the door first." Pansy said. She and Megumi were resigned because unlike Yukino and the other two girls, they couldn’t escape Eiji who wanted to eat them.
"Okay." Eiji immediately got up from the chair and walked towards the door. Not even five minutes had passed since Hose ran out of the room, he certainly wouldn’t have expected that when he ran down the stairs, another boy was having fun with Pansy’s body.
Eiji was excited just thinking about this but he suddenly realized someone had stopped at the door.
He naturally opened his door to see who it was and was surprised.
"Hm?"
"Ah."
...
Back again to the present.
"Girl, are you interested in the Service club?"
After Eiji asked and at the same time mentioned the name of the girl standing in front of him in his inner voice.
Pansy and Megumi who were about to unbutton their school clothes looked at each other and smiled.
They stopped stripping themselves and peeked at who the girl was who had surprised Eiji.
Whoever it was, it was most likely another heroine.
Standing in front of the door, there was a short figure about 150 cm tall.
It was a girl with short bob-style black hair tied with a ribbon and blue-colored eyes.
She was wearing a high school uniform from another unknown school. The clothes she wore were unable to hide her figure that had large breasts and slender legs.
Her face is pretty and cute. Her overall appearance was arguably above average which made her worthy of being one of them.
That was what Megumi and Pansy thought.
Seeing the girl’s face turn red after seeing Eiji’s face and lowering her head to her cell phone.
[Pansy: The heroine this time seems easy.]
[Mai: Oh why?]
[Liese: I’m curious too~]
[Megumi: Look at this (Ruka Sarashina. jpg)]
[Mai: Tsk, Eiji’s face is too dangerous.]
[Lise: My darling is so handsome. What innocent girl like Lilith-sensei wouldn’t fall in love with him?]
[Lilith: Liese, why me?!]
Isn’t it obvious? It’s because at this moment you’re even blushing, Lilith.
Liese and the other girls from Trinity Seven who were in the other corner of the school were bullying Lilith.
The group chat was busy at that time.
Ruka didn’t know this, she was now still holding her cell phone with one of her and the other hand was gripping her beating chest.
’No way, no way, no way!’
In her heart, she continued to deny her heartbeat that was beating faster than when she met the man she loved.
But it was obviously useless because at that moment, her cell phone screen still showed 101 bpm and even increased to 103 bpm.
Ruka felt a little guilty for the man she loved because she felt like an unfaithful woman.
"Girl, I’m talking to you. Did you not hear me?"
Hearing this manly and magnetic voice, Ruka could not help but think that the voice of the boy in front of her was very good.
His face was also so handsome that she was sure the male artists or models out there were still inferior to him.
"I... I heard you and no, I was just walking around randomly."
She answered without looking at the other party’s face because she was worried that her heartbeat would become faster and she would actually betray the man she loved.
To others, this might be silly. But for Ruka who attached great importance to her heartbeat due to her physical condition. Her own heartbeat was used as a tool to find her soul mate.
"I understand. But girl, isn’t it rude to talk to someone without looking at their face?"
Eiji refrained from grinning, he could hear the sound of Ruka’s heartbeat. Recalling the information about the girl from the original work, he knew the girl had a special situation where her heartbeat was slower than normal people.
He did not know how far the plot had progressed, but just like Chizuru, Ruka was also the heroine of Rent-A-Girlfriend! She seemed to have come to this school to check out the festival at Kuoh Academy just like the other high school students.
However, Eiji didn’t believe it was a coincidence that he met her in front of the service club entrance.
The same goes for Hose and his two best friends who were able to find Pansy’s location.
Those things must have been arranged by the halo romcom protagonist for him, right?
[That’s good stuff, right host?]
’Yes, it’s good stuff to cover up plot holes in many situations.’
[.....]
Hey don’t say that!
Miss System quietly complained.
"Sorry, but um... My neck is hurting so I can’t raise my head too high to see your face.
Ruka lied but she couldn’t come up with a better excuse. She couldn’t say that she didn’t want to see his face because she was worried that she would fall in love with him.
She, she did not want to be a woman who was unfaithful to her first love.
"..." Not only Eiji, but Megumi and Pansy who were secretly eavesdropping on the conversation inside the club room found the girl cute.
Except for a fool or perhaps a Japanese beta protagonist, who would believe such an excuse?!
"Really? But didn’t you just raise your head and see what my face looks like?"
Eiji even found a loophole in Ruka’s lie but unlike what he did to Hose earlier, he attacked her gently.
Ruka’s face which was still flushed and looked dazzling became even more flushed with embarrassment.
"That, that... I was just... A reflex. It was just an involuntary reflex."
"And did it hurt like your neck was about to break?"
"What? No! Ah, no. I mean... A little... Just a little."
"You feel like your neck will break a little? Shouldn’t you go to the hospital right now?"
Megumi and Pansy who were listening to the conversation shook their heads with amused smiles.
Eiji seemed to want to trick the girl into exposing her own lies.
Ruka was a little frightened by this broken neck topic and subconsciously said, "No."
"Heh~" Eiji looked at the short Ruka in front of him amusedly.
"...!" Ruka knew the boy in front of her didn’t seem to believe what she said and mocked her!
She was slightly annoyed and raised her head before saying, "No, my neck doesn’t hurt at all! I lied to you, are you satisfied?!"
Still, when she said that and looked at the face of the boy in front of her again who looked very handsome.
She now saw him smiling at her and at that moment—
*BI! BI! BI! BI! BI!*
Her cell phone beeped repeatedly which meant her heart rate increased again.
From another person’s point of view, Ruka’s current face looked like a girl who was in love and fascinated by Eiji.
However, in her heart she was panicking.
’No, Ruka! No...! Calm yourself, your heart shouldn’t be beating this fast by any man except Kazuya!’
’But, but this is the first time my heart is beating this fast, ah.... I’m so happy, I feel so alive...! I want to feel it longer!’
There were angels and devils babbling to themselves inside Ruka’s heart.
Eiji didn’t know this but he guessed why the girl was so reluctant to look at his face even though she was happy, there was also a conflict of disapproval on her face.
The plot might have reached the point where she fell in love with the protagonist Kazuya like in the original work.
However, that’s okay.
He was not disappointed even though he was late.
He actually found this more interesting.
After all, the protagonist was Kazuya.
In the original work because that guy was crazy about Chizuru. He always rejected all of Ruka’s desperate advances. The girl is pathetic because she falls in love with a guy like Kazuya and often cries because she is rejected by him.
Just like other Japanese beta protagonists, Kazuya is no better. He was really trashy who was often aroused by Ruka but always rejected him because of his feelings for Chizuru. Even so, he still secretly enjoys Ruka’s aggressive pursuit.
Although the author of the original work whose name was somewhat similar to his, Reiji did not mention it clearly and only made Kazuya passive.
As fellow men, who of them wouldn’t enjoy being wooed by a girl as beautiful as Ruka?
Eiji was not one of them.
He liked pretty girls and Ruka in front of him was no exception.
[As expected of my King! Let’s show those Japanese beta protagonists how to be a real man!]
Leme shouted excitedly.
’Leave it to me, Leme.’
[Host, host. I think you should restrain yourself because the number of members in your harem... Wait, the protagonist is Kazuya? Give him a big green hat, host!]
Miss System seemed to be trying out a new comedic style but she was just as excited as Leme.
’Miss System, of course. My wives have already given me permission, why should I hesitate to give Chizuru and Ruka a warm home?’
[Who’s your wife? I’m not your wife.]
Ignoring what Miss Sistem said because Eiji knew she was a tsundere.
[I’m not a tsundere either.]
He looked at Ruka gently while holding his chin.
"I’m satisfied, girl. Your face is so cute, how could I not be satisfied from looking at it?"
Damn.
Megumi and Pansy could not help but be amazed by the way Eiji seduced a girl.
They unconsciously took a position to watch the fun while eating popcorn.
"What, what, what are you... you said my face is so cute?! Really?!"
Ruka’s small mouth stammered and her face was very red but looked very cute, she covered her mouth with the back of her hand as if covering her embarrassment. But it was obviously useless, Eiji could see her embarrassed face very clearly, especially the blue ribbon on top of her head which added to her cuteness.
He understood that Chizuru was also very beautiful but how could Kazuya reject a girl like Ruka and make her cry so many times?
Ruka was easily very happy when complimented by a man who made her heart beat fast but Kazuya was even reluctant to compliment her every time she showed off her beauty.
"Yeah, why would I lie? Has no one else ever called you so cute?"
"Waaah!" Ruka exclaimed, not only was her heart beating very fast, she was also so happy to hear the compliment from the boy in front of her that she wanted to cry. She bit her lip in an adorable way before saying, "T-There have been people who have done that like my friends and random people but...."
"But what?" Eiji knew the girl would want to say it was different from the person who made her heart race, right?
"Nothing!"
Ruka shook her head and was too embarrassed to say it. Still, it reminded her that Kazuya who was the man she loved had never complimented her.
Her good mood was slightly reduced due to sadness and made her have complicated feelings.
Especially when looking at the handsome boy in front of her who was clearly better than Kazuya from any angle.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she fell in love with Kazuya first, she would have confessed her love to him right now.
However...
"My name is Ruka Sarashina, I’m a second year student of Sedai High School. May I know your name?"
It’s okay if they get acquainted, right?
