"It's nothing, I just feel that Iruma is more like the demons described in my hometown—luring others with their desires and dragging them into the abyss."
He looked at Iruma, who was still discussing tactics.
"No, perhaps for demons, it's not an abyss. Let's go too." Lord Shesi gently stroked Clara's head and said.
"Oh, oh!"
"You're the vanguard, Andro M. Jazz," Iruma said to Jazz after they finished discussing. Jazz, upon hearing this, wasn't nervous or startled; instead, he was eager to try.
"Okay, boss, what do you need me to do?"
"Now? Let's go eat. It's already noon," Iruma said, looking at the sun in the sky.
Everyone: Oh… the atmosphere that had just heated up.
In the cafeteria, Iruma was waiting for his food, while Lord Shesi, Clara, Asmodeus, and Eiko-chan were guessing how many bowls—no, dozens of plates—Iruma would eat today.
"60 plates," Lord Shesi was the first to state his expectation.
"Hmm, I think Iruma-sama should be able to eat 70 plates," Asmodeus said, stroking his chin in thought.
"Hmm! Iruma-chan should be able to eat 100 plates!" Clara said.
"Are you trying to make Iruma-sama eat himself to death, you scoundrel?"
"What do you think, Eiko-chan?" Lord Shesi asked, looking at Eiko-chan, who was lost in Iruma's evil cycle appearance, unable to pull herself away.
"Eiko-chan?" Lord Shesi raised his voice a little, which brought Eiko-chan back to reality.
"Eh, eh, eh? Ah, aren't you guessing that Iruma-sama will eat less because of his evil cycle?" Eiko-chan asked, a little curious.
The three of them exchanged glances, and all saw the word 'impossible' in each other's eyes.
"No way," x3.
"...Then I'll just guess a number… 78?" Eiko-chan said tentatively.
"Alright, let's start our bet," Lord Shesi said as he saw the chef bringing the food.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5…" The group watched as Iruma ate more and more, faster and faster, quickly reaching the 50th plate. However, Iruma showed no sign of stopping.
"50, 51, 52, 53…" He surpassed Lord Shesi's 60, and soon 70 plates were passed. Finally, at the 78th plate, Iruma let out a satisfied burp. Lord Shesi and Asmodeus looked at Eiko-chan, surprised that she had guessed so accurately.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Eiko-chan was a little embarrassed as she explained,
"Because… I've always paid attention to Iruma-sama's usual meal portions…"
Asmodeus immediately regretted upon hearing this.
"As Iruma-sama's friend, I failed to notice these things. I'm truly negligent!"
Suddenly, Lord Shesi saw some food residue at the corner of Iruma's mouth. His mind raced. He quietly moved closer to Eiko-chan and nudged her.
"Lord Shesi?" Eiko-chan didn't initially understand Lord Shesi's intention until he nudged towards Iruma and then pointed to his own mouth. Only then did Eiko-chan understand Lord Shesi's meaning, and she immediately approached Iruma.
"Iruma-sama, your…" Asmodeus had clearly seen it too and was about to remind Iruma when Lord Shesi covered his mouth with a hand.
"Lord Shesi, what are you doing?" Asmodeus looked at Lord Shesi and immediately saw his dark expression.
"You little brat, you're my brother's stumbling block in pursuing love, aren't you?"
Asmodeus: Meow meow?
Eiko-chan had already approached Iruma, her handkerchief out, everything ready, just waiting for the final push… but the final push seemed a little shy.
Eiko-chan's face was already red with excitement, and her body was squirming. Lord Shesi was silently cheering Eiko-chan on. Before Eiko-chan could squirm much longer, Iruma stood up, intending to leave.
"Let's go, Brother Asmodeus, Clara? Asmodeus, what are you and my brother playing?"
Eiko-chan knew that if she didn't act now, Iruma would leave. She immediately stood up with her handkerchief, but the space between the table and the chair wasn't enough for her to stand upright. However, Eiko-chan forgot about this because Iruma wanted to leave. Eiko-chan lost her balance and fell backward.
Ah!
Iruma instinctively reached out to pull her, but as he moved, he tripped over the chair and also fell.
MVP: Chair.
However, at the last moment, Iruma still shielded Eiko-chan in his arms.
"Iruma-sama!"
Asmodeus immediately ran over at the sight, while Lord Shesi slapped his forehead.
"How did things turn out like this…"
Over with Iruma and Eiko-chan:
"Hiss… Eiko-chan, are you alright?" Iruma hissed, then looked at Eiko-chan in his arms. Eiko-chan's face was completely flushed, partly because she had messed things up, and partly because she was actually in Iruma's arms… "Eiko-chan, Eiko-chan?" Iruma called twice more before Eiko-chan reacted.
"I'm sorry, Iruma-sama…" Eiko-chan got up and apologized dejectedly.
Iruma stood up and looked at Eiko-chan. The imagined scolding didn't come.
"It's alright, clumsy Eiko-chan is also very cute," Iruma said, stroking Eiko-chan's head.
Eiko-chan looked up at Iruma in shock, then seemed to make a decision.
"Iruma-sama, you still have some food here. I'll help you wipe it off." Eiko-chan wiped off the food residue at the corner of Iruma's mouth.
"Ah, thank you." Iruma was stunned for a moment, about to speak, but was then stunned by Eiko-chan's next action.
After wiping the crumbs from Iruma's mouth with the handkerchief, Eiko-chan directly kissed him.
"Cl-cleaned up, I'm leaving first." With that, Eiko-chan immediately ran out.
No one had expected Eiko-chan to be so bold. Asmodeus immediately roared fiercely at Eiko-chan,
"Wait! How dare you!" Then Lord Shesi gave him another smack on the head.
"My child has grown up, he knows how to flirt. His brother is very pleased," Lord Shesi's eyes seemed to be on the verge of shedding little pearls for some reason… What was this? Was it gratification? It seemed so. Even the other members of the Misfit Class gave Iruma a thumbs-up.
"A direct approach? Is it a direct approach?"
"Iruma in his evil cycle is really bold."
"Ah! I'm dying of envy!"
"But that Eiko-chan is also very bold; she matches Iruma in his evil cycle very well."
"Eh, I also feel they match very well."
Iruma instinctively touched the spot Eiko-chan had kissed, his face also started to turn red, and he began to squirm.
"He's shy, isn't he?"
"He's shy."
Lord Shesi was smiling like an auntie on the side… Lunchtime quickly passed, and it was soon time to implement the "Great Fort Occupation Plan."
Clara: I named it!
In the Teacher's office, Kalego was handling documents when he heard Robin's voice from outside the door.
"Not here yet~"
"Teacher Robin, what's wrong?"
"Of course, I'm waiting for the Misfit Class, waiting for them to come to me to stamp the permission slips~ Should I stamp one for Teacher Kalego too~ Hehe." Robin outside the door was excitedly talking to Teacher Machi, Malbas Machi. Kalego reluctantly got up; it was simply too noisy outside to work in peace.
