"What? It's... it's booked?"
Eiko-chan, who had been lazily lying on the bed, immediately sprang up when she heard what was said on the other end of the phone.
"Coco... I'm not ready yet," Eiko-chan said, her face flushed.
A voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Eiko, you should have realized, he's like his brother, he'll unconsciously... No, that Shesi guy deliberately provokes! But Iruma, he really attracts others because of his good nature. Oh, anyway! You need to make your move quickly!"
Ameri, on the other end of the phone, said excitedly.
"But... but..." Eiko-chan was still hesitating. Suddenly, Eiko-chan's door was knocked.
"Sister? Are you there?"
Seeing this, Eiko quickly said goodbye to Ameri on her phone, then hung up.
Eita, behind the door, waited for a while before his sister finally opened the door.
"What's wrong, Eita?" Eiko looked at her younger brother.
"N-nothing. I just wanted to know how Sister... how you know Iruma-sama?"
"Ah, that..." Eiko touched her face.
"Just come in first," Eiko stepped aside to let her brother enter.
As soon as Eita entered, he saw a wall of photos, all about Iruma.
"Wow!"
When Eiko first reacted, she was a little flustered, but seeing her brother's reaction, it didn't seem like a big deal. Her brother seemed to be a fan of Iruma too? That's right, Iruma is so wonderful after all!
Eita sat on a nearby chair.
"So, how did Sister get to know Iruma-sama?"
"Hmm... It all started at the beginning of the school year," Eiko began to recall her very first meeting with Iruma.
"...The flame sword almost hit me, but Iruma stopped it directly... From then on, I started paying attention to him, and slowly, my mind was full of him. Every subsequent encounter brought me a surprise. Iruma... he's different from others, at least for me..." Unconsciously, Eiko told her brother everything about her and Iruma.
"Huh? So Sister has already kissed Iruma-sama?!"
Eiko quickly made a shushing gesture.
"Keep your voice down! If Mom and Dad hear it, I'm done for!" Eiko said.
"Oh, oh, sorry, Sister! But why aren't you two boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Eita asked. He had been enrolled for some time, but he hadn't heard any rumors or anything. Logically, the Chairman's grandson should have some gossip.
Hearing this, Eiko fell silent for a moment. That's right, when Iruma entered his evil cycle, he should have known her feelings... "...Perhaps he doesn't like... and it's true, after all, I'm just..." Before Eiko could finish, her phone rang.
"Ding ding, ding ding." Eiko immediately picked it up. This was a unique ringtone she had specially set. As for who it was for... "Hello?"
"Ah... is that Eiko-chan?" Iruma's voice came from the phone.
"Yes!" Eiko quickly responded, startled.
"Ah, that's great, Eiko-chan... do you... have time tomorrow?"
"Eh?" Eiko was stunned.
"Don't have time? Ah... sorry, sorry," the voice on the other end of the phone immediately became flustered.
"No, no, no, I do! I do!" Eiko immediately said seriously.
"Ah... it's like this, I booked a restaurant with my brother, I... can I invite you... to go?" The message from the other end of the phone was intermittent, as if the speaker was also very embarrassed.
Eiko was stunned upon hearing this, but Eita, who hadn't left, immediately hugged Eiko's arm and shook her excitedly.
"Hello? Is it... no time?"
Eiko felt her eyes welling up at his words.
"No, it's just that your invitation feels too late, but it's not too late yet."
Iruma, on the other end of the phone, immediately smiled when he heard this.
"Then, see you tomorrow!"
After hanging up, Iruma looked at his brother.
"Thank you, Brother!"
"No problem, make sure to dress handsomely, and also take care of the girl," Shesi said, then sent an 'OK' emoji on his phone behind his back.
Ameri also smiled after receiving the message, then edited a message and sent it back. Shesi looked at the message he received, then sent another 'OK' emoji... The next day, Shesi appeared at the entrance of the cinema in Diagon Alley.
Shesi looked at the watch on his wrist.
"Have you been waiting long?" Ameri's figure appeared behind Shesi.
Shesi was startled at first, then smiled.
"No, I just arrived. These are the flowers I picked for you." Shesi gave Ameri a flower. It was a white rose, a species not found in the Demon World. Shesi had conjured it with magic specifically for beautiful ladies.
"Oh, thank you, I like them very much!" Ameri took the flowers.
Seeing this, Shesi extended his arm.
"Let's go, the movie is about to start."
Ameri saw this and linked arms with him.
"Alright, I hope you didn't pick something like Transformed Demon Steel," Ameri joked.
"Uh..." Shesi was a little embarrassed now. Although it wasn't Transformed Demon Steel this time, it was indeed an action movie... Ameri... The truth was, Shesi was overthinking it. Ameri not only loved watching action movies but also greatly admired the protagonist's master in them, the elderly demon who taught the protagonist martial arts.
When the two came out of the cinema, Shesi had a black line on his face. To be honest, the Demon World's filming technology... was too poor, and the gory scenes... there was no such thing as blurring! That's right... this is the Demon World after all...
"Shesi, Shesi! That old master was amazing!" Ameri excitedly shared the movie with Shesi, while Shesi had already removed Sabnock from the "Strategist" chat group... As for why there was such a group... Shesi adhered to the principle of strength in numbers... But it seemed, he could actually remove everyone without dating experience... This, this... and this. In the end, Shesi looked at the number of chat participants.
Shesi, Schneider.
Shesi:...I have a sleeping dragon, and I can conquer the world!
Good news, the smartest ones were left. Bad news... high IQ doesn't mean high EQ... Meanwhile, with Iruma and Eiko, Iruma awkwardly looked at Eiko, who was dressed up.
"Eiko-chan, you look very... very beautiful today."
Eiko also shyly lowered her head.
"Iruma-kun... you also... look very handsome."
The waiter next to them looked at the two.
"Go die! I don't have a partner!"
"Sir, here is the menu," the waiter handed the menu to Iruma.
"Oh, mhm, thank you, I... wow," Iruma was about to order, then his eyes lit up when he saw the names of the dishes on the menu.
"They all look so delicious."
The waiter also smiled at Iruma's appearance.
"If I were to suggest..."
