"No! Shiryu, you can't kill her now!"
Oboro was relieved, it was the right choice for her to choose Asagi's fiancé as her vessel and she had been planning it for several years.
Still, she was having trouble breathing.
This man is still choking me!
Without letting go of Oboro's neck, Shiryu glanced back and looked at Asagi indifferently.
"Why not? Is it because of what she said? That man named Kyousuke is so important to you?"
"Yes, he's my fiancé... He became like that because of me. We have to separate him from Oboro first."
Asagi did not argue.
Yuko and Sayo found this situation rather awkward. After all, this was Shiryu. Before coming here, he seemed to show interest in Asagi.
And yes, they admitted that Asagi was no less beautiful and sexy than them.
Would Shiryu be angry and upset that the woman he was interested in already had a fiancé?
"Your fiancé? Ah, I remember now."
Shiryu didn't look angry or upset, instead he looked enlightened.
Oboro laughed and mocked Asagi, "Hehe... you want to separate me from Kyousuke? Asagi, that's impossible! I've devoured his soul and now, this body is completely mine! If I die, he'll die too! What are you doing? Hahaha!"
"Wh-What? Oboro, you're lying! There must be a way to separate you from Kyousuke!"
Asagi looked shocked and desperate, she clenched her trembling fists and wondered what she should do?
At that moment, she couldn't help but glance at Shiryu.
Because of his diary system, she felt he had a way to save Kyousuke.
Shiryu knew Asagi expected help from him, but why should he help her about Kyousuke?
He had only come here to save her.
However, he had already expected this situation to happen and had an idea of what he should do.
He glanced at Sayo and called out to him. "Sayo, can you come and hold this woman for a moment? Don't let her escape."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Sayo ran from the other side of the arena and jumped to his side. With one of her hands, she grabbed Oboro's neck from behind and made her kneel down.
Oboro felt humiliated.
"Damn it, let go of me!"
"Shut up, bitch."
Sayo said coldly and increased the strength of her grip.
Oboro's face was slightly blue, she could barely breathe and groaned in pain.
Even so, Sayo controlled the force she used so as not to kill Oboro. At least not before they saw what Shiryu wanted to do.
But to her surprise, he took out his diary and wrote!
Sayo's lips twitched.
Asagi, Sakura, and Yuko fell silent.
In this situation, you updated the contents of your diary, Shiryu?
[I managed to save Asagi, the female protagonist of a hentai series called Taimanin.]
[But there's a problem, I almost forgot about Oboro being revived through the demon cells she implanted in Asagi's fiancé Kyousuke's body.]
[I don't remember much about that guy and was reluctant to write this down, but... In the original work, Asagi failed to save Kyousuke.]
"...!" Asagi.
She failed to save Kyousuke?
How could that be?
Was it because she had no other choice to...
[She was caught by Oboro and tortured. Her younger sister, Sakura also suffered because just like her, she came to the Chaos Arena.]
[I don't want to write the details of what Oboro and her subordinates did to those two beautiful women.]
Asagi and Sakura shuddered.
The former felt guilty and she didn't doubt what Shiryu wrote because even now...
Sakura also came to the Chaos Arena. If Shiryu and the two women who were with him hadn't come to help.
She would have been caught and Sakura would have experienced the same thing as her. Given the hatred and jealousy that Oboro had for her, she would definitely torture them cruelly.
As for her being the female protagonist? Asagi didn't really understand about such things and accepted it easily.
But one thing was certain, she felt grateful to Shiryu. From Sakura, she knew he had gotten some kind of mission to save her.
He succeeded in doing so.
Asagi was indebted to her.
[But... What Oboro said was right. She had devoured Kyousuke's soul and completely made his body her own.]
[With my current power, I also have no way of separating Oboro and Kyousuke who have united.]
[So sorry, Asagi. Just like in the original work, you have to kill your fiancé. Oboro really has to die because if she doesn't, she will definitely come back for revenge and hurt many people.]
"....." Asagi lowered her head until her hair shadowed her eyes. She was sad and depressed.
Even Shiryu couldn't save Kyousuke.
"Nee-san..." Sakura was worried about her older sister.
Of course, she was also sad that Kyousuke whom she had regarded as her older brother could not be saved.
But as Shiryu had said in his diary, they had no choice but to kill Oboro as soon as possible.
That woman was too dangerous and there was no way she could repent. Many people didn't know, but this was the second time she had made a big deal and tried to do something evil to her older sister.
She had been killed once in the past for betraying the Taimanin organization and joining the enemy.
And now, she was doing something no less evil.
*Clap!*
Shiryu closed his diary and looked back at Asagi indifferently.
"What's your choice, Asagi?"
From the start, he planned to make her choose after telling her the fact that there was no way to save Kyousuke.
But even if he had the ability to save him...
Shiryu smiled in his heart.
[Host, you are cunning. You obviously never wanted to save that man named Kyousuke.]
That's right, why would I help my love rival?
Shiryu didn't refute what System-chan said.
Instead of being with a man who is weak and often a burden like Kyousuke, a woman as beautiful as Asagi should have a man who is strong and able to protect her.
For example, a man like him, right?
[Shameless.]
System-chan, I'm just saying a fact that many fans of the series will agree with.
"I..." Asagi hesitated.
Oboro was confused, had she missed something?
From her point of view, Shiryu was just writing in a book and suddenly asked Asagi.
"If you don't want to kill her with your own hands, I can do it for you."
Shiryu softly said.
With his face and figure that was no less than Captain America, the women in the place couldn't help but glance at him.
Asagi was no exception, she was dazed for a moment and felt guilty towards her fiancé.
Her figure suddenly twitched and she instantly appeared in front of Oboro.
Sayo and Yuko were a little surprised.
Is this the strongest Taimanin?
She was so fast.
They couldn't even keep up with her speed.
Shiryu already knew how strong Asagi was from within the original work. So, since they were this close, he only glanced at her figure from top to bottom.
Tsk, tsk, she is very sexy.
The tight body suit she wore really accentuated her wavy curves.
Fortunately, Asagi did not notice Shiryu's gaze and was now just looking at Oboro coldly.
"No, all of this happened because of me. I will also end this and bear the sin of killing Kyousuke with my own hands."
"Alright, I respect your choice. She's yours now."
Shiryu stepped back and signaled Sayo to let Oboro go. Otherwise, he was worried that she would get hurt as well.
After all, she was also one of his future wives. When Sayo stood at Shiryu's side, she felt an arm rub her butt and blushed.
She turned her head to Shiryu.
But Shiryu looked serious and kept glancing forward.
'This boy... He now dares to do perverted things to me...'
However, Sayo was not disgusted and chose to ignore it.
Shiryu was excited. What does this mean? Ah, Protagonist Arashi, you're green.
"Wait, wait! Asagi, you really want to kill me? Think carefully, this body belongs to Kyousuke!"
"He's already dead, you yourself said that you had devoured his soul and completely controlled his body."
Oboro didn't want to die, she was trying to make Asagi hesitate to kill her.
However, Asagi was expressionless and had killing intent in her eyes.
Obito panicked and suddenly had an idea. "That's a lie!"
"Lie?"
Asagi gripped her sword alley firmly.
Oboro swallowed and said, "Yes, Kyousuke is still alive inside me. If you don't believe me..."
She grinned in her heart and under everyone's gaze, her appearance changed to Kyousuke.
"Asagi? Why am I here? Wait, me too... What am I doing here?! I have a hole in my stomach, ugh...!"
'Kyousuke' groaned in pain and his face turned pale.
Except for Shiryu, Asagi and the others widened their eyes.
"Kyousuke, is it really you?" Asagi asked doubtfully.
"What did you say? Ah! Ah! It hurts! I'm going to die! Asagi, help me..."
Shiryu rolled his eyes and said, "I forgot to say that Oboro now has the ability to change her appearance to Kyousuke. Don't be fooled, he's just Oboro pretending."
"You, what nonsense are you saying! Oboro? I—"
Kyousuke, no. Oboro cursed Shiryu in her heart.
Why did he seem to know so much about her?
But, Asagi couldn't possibly take his word for it, right?
She would definitely hesitate because now she looks like her fiancé!
That's what Oboro was thinking.
Before she could finish her words, Asagi slashed at her. The slash was extremely fast, tearing Oboro's body apart and dividing it into pieces on the spot.
"Nggahh!!"
She screamed in pain and her vision gradually went dark.
Why?
She was dead again.
With a splash of red slightly staining her face, Asagi sheathed her sword and sighed.
"Sorry Kyousuke. In the end, you died because of me."
She blamed herself for her fiancé's death. Rather than him, she preferred the safety of her younger sister and the others.
She had no other choice but to kill Oboro.
Even when she changed her appearance to Kyousuke and pretended to be him.
She did not hesitate to kill her after hearing what Shiryu said. Suddenly, she felt an arm holding her shoulder.
"Asagi, don't blame yourself too much. In the future, I might get a reward that allows me to revive the dead or something."
Shiryu seized the opportunity to woo her.
Asagi had no idea, she turned her head and looked at his handsome face with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
"Really? Shiryu, you can revive Kyousuke?!"
Sayo and the others were also curious.
Shiryu nodded, "Yes, but I'm not 100% sure. After all, the rewards I've gotten so far from the Diary System are random."
Don't misunderstand, he wasn't planning to revive Kyousuke. But, he couldn't let Asagi be depressed for a long time because of that man's death.
The same goes for Yuriko who is saddened by her husband's death. So, he had the idea to give them false hope to make them excited. Then, he would seize the opportunity to win their hearts.
This is part of his love operation!
[...]
System-chan was speechless. However, she was often amazed by how manipulative her host was.
At this point, he even abused the mechanism of the Diary System that only gave him random rewards.
"I remember you wrote something about that in the past..." Asagi held her chin with a thoughtful expression before saying, "Even if it's random, there's still hope that Kyousuke can live! Shiryu, thank you very much and please help me to..."
She was suddenly embarrassed because after Shiryu saved her, she wanted to trouble him to bring Kyousuke back to life one day.
However, Shiryu was wider than she thought before. "I'll help you, but I can't promise when exactly I'll be able to have such abilities."
"That's fine!"
Asagi smiled slightly, she was not as sad as before.
Sakura, Sayo and Yuko also continued to be happy. Soon, they all left that place and returned to the surface.
They didn't realize a moment ago, someone among the demons managed to escape from the massacre.
Since Shiryu suppressed Oboro with her overwhelming power, he realized that their plan had failed.
So, he immediately left the place and reported to someone.
In the Demon Realm.
The original birthplace of all demons and only a few humans had ever visited it. This realm was a dangerous place full of curses and magic, with a broken high fantasy setting.
There were quite a few species of demons, Orcs being one of them.
Inside the throne room, the Orc named Byg knelt in front of a man sitting on a throne.
"That's what happened, my Lord."
Long story short, Byg had told me what happened in the Chaos Arena.
The man in front of him was Black, a high-ranking demon also known as the Vampire King.
Currently, he was in his human form. He looked like a tall, middle-aged man, with gray hair and wearing a black suit like a CEO.
In the human world, he is actually the CEO of the Norman Company. The multinational corporation, one of the most powerful in the Human World, had enough resources to change policies and make money from various legal and illegal means.
In other words, he is the villain boss in the Taimanin series.
"Oboro failed again, huh... I don't care if she is now alive or not. But unfortunately, she failed to capture Asagi and it happened because of a human named Sou Shiryu?"
"Yes, he's very strong and dangerous."
"How strong?"
Black seemed to be more interested in how strong Shiryu was.
Byr raised his head and looked at the man who could be considered his boss doubtfully.
"Forgive me for saying this, Lord. But, the aura he emits is as strong as yours when punishing killing the demons who dared to oppose you."
"Hoh, aren't humans interesting? If only he were a woman like Asagi..." Black was disappointed but still excited even though on the surface he looked calm and indifferent.
"But since he's a man, he might be a threat to my life. Gather information about him."
Hearing his boss's order, Byr did not dare to refuse. "As you wish, Lord. I will immediately gather information on Sou Shiryu."
Although the human world, especially Japan was being hit by a zombie pandemic. With technology from the demon realm, it was easy for him to find information on someone.
After Byr left, Black shook the blood in the glass and drank it. He was a vampire, it was natural for him to consume the blood of others.
"I wonder how delicious Asagi's blood is. I failed this time, but that's okay... I can still try to corrupt you again in the future."
He muttered with a faint smile on his face.
As the Vampire King, he had lived a long time and in recent years. He had been attracted to a woman in the human world and that was Asagi.
He was obsessed with her and wanted to make her his woman. However, the approach he used was complicated.
First, he wants Asagi to become a demon like himself. Only then...
The two of them could become the new Adam and Eve.
"Still, does Shiryu have a relationship with Asagi?"
Suddenly, Black frowned. Come to think of it, why would Shiryu save Asagi?
The two of them were probably friends or...
Without Shiryu realizing it, he had made the Vampire King feel green. Honestly, he had forgotten about the man who was crazy about Asagi in the original work.
After all, it was not only Black. There were other male characters who were crazy about Asagi.
However, it would make him excited for a reason.
System-chan knew why her host felt that way.
It had something to do with his bad hobby of giving green hats to other people.
...
Meanwhile.
Because of the things that happened earlier, Asagi and Sakura followed him to his house.
Actually, right after they came out of the Chaos Arena. Shiryu invited them to join his group.
Asagi agreed, especially after Shiryu saved her. She was indebted to him and didn't mind helping his group.
More so, after learning Shiryu can revive Kyousuke in the future. She felt she should be nearby to speed up the process.
"Everyone, these are our two new members. Asagi and Sakura."
Shiryu introduced the two new beauties he had brought home. He looked excited at that moment.
Saeko, Kaguya and the other women living in his house looked at him flatly.
Shiryu wondered why none of them looked surprised?
System-chan, what's wrong?
[You're asking me? Do you really not realize what your image looks like in those women's eyes, host?]
"....."
Shiryu didn't understand what his system was saying.
As far as he knew, he was only doing good things to save beautiful women in distress and give them all a warm home.
