Chapter 8: Lala: My fiancé is so strong!
Lala is my fiancée.
She's my woman.
You guys want to take her away?
Do you guys want to die?
Hearing such dominating words, Lala felt for the first time that her heart was beating very fast and she felt very happy.
Eiji's broad back was reflected in her eyes, blocking the bodyguards her father had sent to take her home by force.
Right now Eiji was looking very handsome!
More handsome than any prince of the galactic kingdom ever saw!
Lala's tail swings left and right, which means I feel like I've found my true soul mate.
Even so, she was worried that the bodyguards sent by her father, Maul and Smutt would hurt Eiji.
Eiji was human.
He most likely would not be able to match the physical strength of the Deviluke people like Maul and Smutt.
And if the three of them fought, Eiji would be the one to lose and get hurt!
Lala didn't want to see this, she was about to speak up to stop Maul who seemed to be about to attack Eiji for holding his hand.
But before she opened her mouth, she saw red lightning creaking around Eiji's body.
Maul whose arm was still gripped by Eiji was naturally electrocuted by the red lightning.
The room was illuminated with red light and there was the sound of birds chirping which was actually the sound of lightning electrocuting people.
Smutt who saw his partner being electrocuted was dumbfounded, he was about to move to save Maul by attacking the human.
But alarm bells rang in his mind, and just then he saw Maul lying charred on the floor.
As for the human, he suddenly disappeared from his sight.
"Where..."
He was about to ask, but the human's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Looking for me?"
The voice was very flat, but Smutt felt a chill grip his heart.
Danger!
Frantically, he twisted his body and made a backward kicking motion.
The wall behind him was instantly cut and shattered by the sweep of his foot, but the human he was targeting flashed with red light and suddenly appeared beside him!
So fast!
That was what Smutt thought of the human he was fighting before his head was grabbed by the other party with one hand and...
He suffered the same fate as Maul.
"Ahhh!!!"
Red lightning shocked Smutt's body and the man himself tried to break free from his hands in panic.
But it was useless, Eiji's own physical strength was actually not inferior to Deviluke at Smutt's level after various improvements from the system.
Like iron claws, his hands gripped Smutt's head without letting the other party escape.
"Eiji, behind you!"
Lala who had been watching suddenly shouted in panic.
Glancing back, Eiji saw that the man in the black suit he had first stunned was already awake.
The other party was already swinging his fist that was about to reach his head.
It was a bit too late to dodge under normal circumstances.
But who is Eiji?
He's a cheating time traveler.
Soon, his blue pupils swirled and three tomoe appeared.
After activating the Sharingan, his reaction speed which was already very fast when using the BoBoiBoy Thunderstorm character card (8% fusion) could basically make his speed as fast as lightning.
Combined with the Sharingan.
His reflexes and speed become even crazier!
While grabbing the head of the man in the blond suit, he also grabbed the head of the other man in the black suit after dodging a fist that could destroy a building with a thin gap just by tilting his head a few degrees.
If the scene was played in slow motion.
It would have been no less epic than Madara's scene in the 4th ninja war field catching an enemy kunai that was about to hit his face and throwing it back at his enemy.
In Eiji's case, he struck back at Maul at almost the same time by grabbing his head and electrocuting him with red lightning at the same time.
In Lala's eyes, seeing the two bodyguards sent by her father who were actually the elite among the elite defeated by Eiji so easily.
The pink-haired girl widened her eyes, her mouth opened and I don't know what to say.
What is certain is that Eiji is very strong!
No, my fiancé is very strong!
Lala was very excited.
But looking at her father's two bodyguards who were now lying charred on the floor.
She was a little worried.
Maul and Smutt were her father's subordinates after all.
"Don't worry, I didn't kill them."
"They just fainted."
"With their physique, I'm sure they'll wake up in a few minutes."
Eiji, who had finished exercising, walked back towards Lala.
Lala who saw him approaching immediately hugged him and patted his body with a worried expression.
"Eiji... Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. The two bodyguards your father sent didn't even hurt me a bit." Eiji said that very naturally as if it wasn't that I was arrogant, but that was the fact.
"That's good...but Eiji, how did you know Maul and Smutt were the bodyguards my father sent?"
Lala innocently asked, but there was a playful look in her eyes.
She seemed to remember the two of them playing a game: pretending not to know.
Eiji didn't know what game Lala was playing, but he froze when he heard Lala's question.
[Damn, I forgot Lala hasn't mentioned once that these two people I defeated were bodyguards sent by her father!]
[I know who these two people are from the plot.]
[In the original work, Rito also had to deal with these two bodyguards of Lala's named Maul and Smutt after the accident in the bathroom.]
[But unlike me, Rito who doesn't have superpowers naturally doesn't use violent methods to prevent Lala from being taken away by force.]
[So he used the running method while carrying Lala to escape from Maul and Smutt.]
[Well... That was in the original work of course. Now, that plot has changed because of me.]
[More importantly, I have to find a plausible reason to answer Lala's question!]
[How do I know Maul and Smutt are the bodyguards Lala's father sent? Of course from...]
"I know from the way those two called you. When they called you Lala-sama."
"I have a rough guess that they might be underlings sent by your father to take you home by force because you ran away from the marriage candidate your father arranged."
"Lala, that's the reason why I know... I'm honestly just guessing, do you believe me?"
Believe in ghost!
Lala's bright smile twitched slightly.
If I couldn't hear his inner voice, I would have been fooled by his handsome face that looked convincing when he said that.
My fiancé is very good at pretending.
But I won't be outdone, I can pretend too!
With a maximum bright smile, filled with the aura of an innocent little girl.
Eiji was overwhelmed seeing this smile.
I feel a little guilty deceiving a girl like Lala.
But this is about my secret previous life, so I can't talk about it.
"Un, I believe in Eiji~!"
[Silly girl, don't trust me so easily....]
[I feel like a trash who deceived an innocent girl now.]
Eiji felt depressed, he turned his gaze on the wall of his house which was basically destroyed by the battle earlier and he could see his spacious courtyard without the use of windows.
That made him even more depressed.
The night air was blowing...
The moonlight shone on Eiji and Lala who looked at each other while embracing.
For some reason, their faces were getting closer to each other.
And when Lala closed her eyes.
When their lips were about to meet each other.
Suddenly someone came again at a time like this.
"Lala-sama! I came here to fetch you by order of the noble one!"
"Knowing Maul and Smutt were suddenly offline, I'm afraid something bad happened to you!"
Both of them gasped.
Turning to the side, a man in armor entered the house and looked at Lala with a worried expression.
Lala who saw the man's arrival was surprised.
"Zastin, you came too!?"
"Ah, Lala-sama. Thank goodness you seem to be okay... Hm... But who was that human who hugged you? How dare he hug the princess' body!"
"Also, what happened to Maul and Smutt? They collapsed looking miserable."
Zastin looked at Maul and Smutt lying on the floor before looking back at Lala.
And then his gaze turned cold as he looked at Eiji.
Eiji had a dark expression on his face.
[Why is it that in one day so much trouble comes my way? It's only been one day!]
[Give me a break and enjoy some sweet time with a pretty girl! Author, you dog man!]
¶{Host, please be patient. Just throw a lightning bolt at Zastin and it should be resolved quickly}.
Miss System who had been watching the drama for a long time suddenly meowed because she was worried that her host would explode.
Eiji nodded mentally.
Good idea Miss System.
I'll do it!
Releasing Lala from his embrace, he created a red lightning sword in one of his hands.
This was both a sword and something BoBoiBoy Thunderstorm could throw at his enemies when he was too lazy to engage in close combat.
Zastin became alert, he immediately took out his knight's sword from its sheath and aimed it at the unusual human in front of him.
"Don't worry Lala-sama, I will save you from the hands of this human!"
"No, Zastin! You must not fight with Eiji!"
Lala suddenly walked forward and stood between the two.
Eiji fell silent and sighed.
Meanwhile, Zastin was confused.
"Lala-sama, step aside. I'll save you from this bad guy!"
"No!"
"Why?"
"Because he's my fiancee!"
Lala said that so loudly that Zastin took a step back.
He looked at Lala and the human named Eiji back and forth before asking. "Since when?"
"Since a few hours ago. Eiji proposed to me and I accepted." Lala said with innocently.
Zastin shook his head. "Even so, your father asked me to take you home."
"Lala-sama, please obey and come with me."
Lala shook her head.
"No, I don't want to go home!"
"Lala-sama..."
"I want to stay with Eiji!"
"Ugh..."
Zastin was also getting into trouble now.
He looked at the human named Eiji who seemed to be favored by his princess.
Judging from the red lightning sword that suddenly appeared in his hand.
And from Maul and Smutt who were unconscious on the floor.
He guessed that the two men were defeated by Eiji.
So the human named Eiji must be quite strong and not an ordinary human.
Of all the princess marriage candidates, the human in front of her was probably the best so far.
But the problem is that the princess's father doesn't know yet.
And Zastin needed to confirm the other party's eligibility in his own way.
"Lala-sama. I won't force you to go home, but I have a condition."
"Really? Zastin, what are the conditions!?"
Lala smiled, she was very happy to hear that she didn't have to be forced to go home anymore.
Zastin smiled wryly at this rebellious princess.
He looked at Eiji indifferently and said: "The condition is that the human named Eiji is chosen by Lala-sama as this fiancé."
"I want him to duel with me and if he wins, I will surrender to force Lala-sama to return home."
"Eh! B-But... Eiji, he..."
Lala hesitated, even though she knew Eiji was capable of defeating Maul and Smutt.
Zastin was his personal bodyguard, the other party was the best swordsman and commander of the royal guard on the planet Deviluke.
So in terms of power, Zastin must be much stronger than Maul and Smutt.
Therefore he was worried that Eiji would not be able to....
"I agree. Lala, let me duel with him."
Eiji patted Lala's shoulder and pushed her back gently.
Lala was surprised, she was about to ask. But looking at Eiji's very confident expression.
She was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Her gaze said I believe in my fiancé!
Zastin, who saw the two, somehow smiled.
It seemed that Lala-sama really liked this human named Eiji.
Even so, he still had to test him!
Pointing at the other party with his sword, he said: "Human, what is your full name?"
"Eiji Seiya."
Eiji replied indifferently as he walked over and stood not far in front of Zastin.
Zastin nodded.
"I am Zastin Deviluke, Lala-sama's personal bodyguard and commander of the royal troops in the Deviluke Kingdom."
"As long as you can withstand my three attacks or injure me. You can be considered the winner in this duel."
"Oh?" Eiji widened his eyes, the other party underestimated me.
But he nodded, not wanting too much nonsense.
"Okay, but before that. Can we move? I don't want my house to become a ruin."
"..."
Zastin saw that this house did have many battle scars before he came.
And if the two fought here, he himself could not guarantee this house would not collapse.
"Okay, then you choose the place."
It took less than a minute.
In the front yard of Eiji's house which was quite spacious and under the moonlight.
Eiji and Zastin faced each other there.
"Are you sure you want to duel here?" Zastin asked.
"Yes, let's start right now."
Zastin nodded.
"Then you can attack me first."
"Sure."
Under the watchful eye of Zastin, and Lala who was watching on the sidelines.
Eiji, who had been holding a lightning sword in his hand from the start, immediately threw the sword at Zastin as if it was not a sword at all.
Who wants to play swordplay with normal?
Just throw the sword, okay?
Zastin misunderstood.
He didn't expect the other party to just throw the sword away!
Even though the sword shot out extremely fast accompanied by terrifying red lightning.
Zastin was originally very confident to fend off the flying sword. But just as he made a slash to deflect it, his pupils shrank because the lightning sword exploded.
*Boom!
The front yard of Eiji's house was illuminated with red light accompanied by the deafening sound of lightning strikes.
It was only one attack.
And it Zastin who took the attack.
He....
