The SSS Ranked Villain's Return

"Oh my god... no!" Evangeline screamed as, all of a sudden, Neraxis tossed her into a foam ball pit.

"Sorry, princess, but your trustworthy, loyal knight has abandoned his post," Neraxis replied with a chuckle.

They had spent the last six hours messing around, and in about an hour or two, the academy's first lesson would start.

Of course, while he didn't want to be late, staying with Evangeline felt more important.

After all, he couldn't see that joyful smile on her face every single day.

"Evangeline?" he called out.

"Mmm? Yeah?" she replied with a tilt of her head.

"Your nipple is sticking out," Neraxis teased, forgetting what he wanted to ask her in the first place.

"H-Huh?" Evangeline covered herself, but when she realized he was just joking, she let out a giggle. "Pfft... you like to tease me, don't you? In bed and even here."

Neraxis shrugged. "Do you dislike it?"

"Nope~" she said before stepping out of the ball pit and approaching him. "Still, let's do something else before you and I have to leave."

"Wanna go watch a vampire film? Would be funny for you to debunk the myths firsthand," Neraxis suggested with a chuckle.

"Honestly? Let's do it," Evangeline agreed and interlaced her fingers with his before slowly making their way out of the amusement park.

But just as they were about to leave, they spotted a bunch of cups of ice cream scattered on the ground.

Of course, the culprit was Eris, who was idly sitting on a tent and swinging her legs while also eating some ice cream.

"Vixen, do you wanna go to the movies with us?" Evangeline suggested out of nowhere.

"I thought only the two of us would be there?" Neraxis asked in a whisper.

"I want to fix your relationship with her first. Also, it's not like I'm letting you fuck me in the cinema. I don't want you to get charged for public indecency." Evangeline giggled. "Cameras will be everywhere... But maybe next time."

"I can hear you two..." Eris stated with a deep sigh, then jumped down from the tent. "Why are you trying so hard to make us talk? I said I don't care anymore." Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire

"I just wanted a female companion to watch the movie with me, and it seems like you don't have anything better to do," Evangeline said, glancing at the empty ice cream van. "So? What do you say?"

Eris stared at the two of them in silence before grumbling. "You're paying for my ticket."

"Of course!" Evangeline said with excitement and turned to him. "Right, Neraxis?"

"...Yep," he replied with a sigh, and they began making their way to the nearest cinema.

However, midway through leaving the amusement park, a certain distant disturbance stopped them.

—Drop your weapon!

—Please, stop this!

"A robbery? Seriously?" Neraxis mused out loud.

"Humans sure are greedy. I wonder what caught their eye," Evangeline commented.

And, of course, Eris looked completely uninterested. "Can we just leave? The police are handling it anyway."

—Don't come any closer, or I'll shoot her!

"I don't think they're doing very well," Neraxis remarked before slowly making his way to the commotion.

Since the girls didn't have anything better to do, they followed along.

It looked like the typical hostage situation, with a masked man holding a weapon to a gorgeous woman's head—nothing too out of the ordinary.

Neraxis walked up to a police officer and tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me, could I get a rundown of the situation? I can help."

"Help? You can't—" The police officer halted the moment he saw who he was talking to. "You're that new famous climber, huh? I guess you can indeed help."

"Of course." Neraxis nodded before listening to the explanation.

"The man over there stole an artifact from that woman. She is a noble from one of the crime families, and frankly, we need to save her, as much as we hate to," the police officer scoffed. "If we don't, the crime family will bomb our headquarters."

"That's a bit severe." Neraxis whistled in amusement. "So do you just want to eliminate the man?"

"Lethal force is permitted, yes," the police officer affirmed.

With that, Neraxis turned to Eris, who immediately flinched.

"Do you seriously want me to step up?" she asked with furrowed brows.

"Well, it would save me the trouble..." Neraxis said before trailing off as an idea popped into his mind. "Look, since Evangeline has really tried fixing our dislike for one another, if you deal with this guy, I'll get you a free ice cream card for an entire year."

"Now you're talking." Eris grinned before suddenly pulling out her bow.

Without even a moment's hesitation, she nocked an arrow and swiftly released it.

It flew past the heads of the unsuspecting police officers before striking straight through the robber's head—his brain matter splattering all over the woman.

But she did not seem that shaken, merely wiping it off with a handkerchief before glancing toward Neraxis and the girls beside him.

"Much appreciated, you three," she said, and only then did the police finally process what had happened.

"Uh... Good job," the police officer from before said.

"Our pleasure. We'll get going now," Neraxis stated, and with that, they began making their way out.

For a moment, he was expecting that woman to come along and express her gratitude further, but it appeared that someone from one of the crime families had some self-respect.

"You'll get me what you promised, right?" Eris asked skeptically.

"I will." He affirmed, turning to Evangeline. "You seem to be enjoying this a little too much."

She had been humming in amusement ever since they first arrived at the disturbance.

"I am," Evangeline let out a giggle. "I never really meddled in actual relationships between people, so seeing you two go from wanting to kill each other to now talking like friends really puts a smile on my face."

"Cow tits, you really are something, huh?" Eris scoffed before turning toward Neraxis, her gaze softer than before. "I forgive you for what you did in my world."

"I see... and I forgive you for trying to kill me multiple times," Neraxis added, but instead of receiving a hatred-filled look, what he got instead was a chuckle.

"I guess we're even then."

He froze before replying, "...Even it is."

"Hehehe..." Evangeline giggled from the side, to which he merely rolled his eyes.

Finally, they arrived at some sort of movie cinema, and thankfully, there was a low-rated movie about vampires available, which would play in exactly ten minutes.

Neraxis took the liberty of buying the tickets for each of them.

They went inside the cinema, and to his surprise, the seats were massive and looked incredibly comfortable.

Better yet, this was a rustic-style cinema, and he couldn't spot a single camera anywhere in sight.

But of course, the cherry on top was that, aside from the three of them, there was no one else present.

"Pfft... I guess sex was on the table after all," Evangeline remarked softly before glancing at the uncomfortable-looking Eris. "Threesome?"

"W-Wha—" Eris's eyes widened, but her shock was quickly interrupted when Evangeline burst out laughing.

"Pfft... Hahahaha... I'm kidding. Let's just watch the movie, 'kay?"

"Evangeline..." Neraxis sighed. "We can do 'it' next time, so stop teasing her for now."

"That's what you just did, though~?" Evangeline replied, shooting a sly grin at Eris. "Don't worry, vixen, I'll shape you into the perfect—Nevermind..."

"Perfect...?" Eris tilted her head, not understanding what she meant.

But Neraxis did, as he went over to Evangeline and pinched her belly. "Let's watch the movie already..."

"Ouch..." she replied playfully before walking to the very front row and taking a seat.

Neraxis sat on the right of her, and to his surprise, Eris sat right beside him as well, her face still containing traces of confusion from Evangeline's 'perfect' statement.

"It's starting!" Evangeline let out an excited yell, staring at the big cinema screen like a little girl.

All the while, Neraxis admired her from the side with a warm smile on his face.

However, Eris suddenly pinched his shoulder, prompting him to turn around, annoyed.

Yet what greeted his sight was a full popcorn bucket, with Eris eagerly munching on it before offering, "Want some?"

He was speechless for only a single moment, but understanding that both of these girls had their own quirks, he decided to give in.

"...You know what? Sure."
