Chapter 129: The Predestined Date (Arranged in Advance)
The calendar was flipped over one more day.
The date had reached April 30th, which meant the holiday after the monthly exam had ended.
[At last, the day has finally come…]
[Although it's a holiday, your schedule for today has already been reserved by Morgan.]
[Today is your date with Morgan.]
[And last night, you celebrated with classmates from both classes until late, drank a lot of alcohol, and were finally carried back to your room by two Round Table Knights.]
[At 8:30 in the morning, you were woken up by a rapid knocking at the door.]
April 30th, 8 a.m.
Chaldea Academy, male dormitory.
Knock, knock knock!
Urgent knocking resounded outside the dormitory door.
Eikou drowsily woke up, the hangover from last night making his head ache, his whole body heavy as if weighed down by lead.
"Gawain, Tristan, you two go open the door…"
Eikou mumbled sleepily.
But the two Round Table Knights in the beds next to him were sleeping even more soundly than he was, the knocking hadn't woken them up at all.
The dormitory door continued to be knocked on relentlessly.
"Ahhh, so damn annoying…"
Eikou couldn't help but mutter, the irritation from just waking up suddenly rising.
He forced himself to endure the hangover, crawled out of bed, and angrily stomped toward the door, grumbling as he went:
"Who the hell is it, so early in the morning without letting people sleep… it's clearly a holiday now, I just want to sleep properly, is that so hard… Hello."
With a bang, Eikou yanked the door open, and right in front of him was the CEO of Amazoness — Penthesilea.
Seeing a muscular Greek warrior woman with a tough aura standing before him, Eikou instantly sobered up.
"What's the matter?"
"So you finally opened the door? I thought if you kept refusing, I'd have to break it down to deliver this." — the other replied.
"Delivery?"
"You're Mochizuki Eikou, right? This is your express delivery, sign here."
Penthesilea handed him a rather heavy package, on the label stood out the words: 「Morgan le Fay」.
This was a package sent by Morgan?
Eikou rubbed his aching head, suddenly remembering that today he had promised to go on a date with her, and had almost forgotten due to drinking too much.
Penthesilea quickly left to deliver the next order, while Eikou absentmindedly closed the door, carrying the package back to his bed.
He glanced at his phone.
Morgan had already sent a message.
「My husband, have you received the clothes I sent you?」
Already calling directly "husband"? Not even bothering to act anymore!
Eikou looked at her message, then glanced at the package on the bed.
「Clothes?」
Very soon after, Morgan messaged again:
「Umu, it's the casual wear you tried on during the punishment game yesterday. I thought it suited you very well, so I sent it to you.」
「I hope you can wear this outfit when we go on our date today.」
So that's how it is.
Coincidentally, he actually liked that outfit himself, and had previously wondered how much QP it would cost to buy it.
She then sent another message:
「In exchange, I will also wear 『Dangerous Beast』 underneath my clothes...」
Wait, isn't it just asking me to wear some casual clothes, why is there a need for an exchange? And your level of sacrifice is way too much, this isn't equal exchange at all!
Frankly speaking, you just want to wear Dangerous Beast yourself to seduce me, don't you!
Eikou couldn't even be bothered to retort anymore.
「Morgan, then when shall we meet? Can you give me a little time to prepare?」 he replied.
Morgan: 「My husband, we can meet anytime, but not a second can be wasted. I have long awaited this date, I hope your performance won't disappoint me.」
Eikou: 「Alright.」
Morgan: 「I'm very much looking forward to it, see you soon.」
"Date huh..."
Eikou lay sprawled face-down on the bed for a while.
From his understanding of Morgan, today's date would definitely be very busy, filled with extravagant and flashy activities, and then by nightfall he would naturally be led by her to spend the night in some high-class hotel.
If things really turned out that way, then there was no helping it—this calamity today would be unavoidable.
"Anyway, first I should go take a bath..."
He was just about to put his phone down, when suddenly another message came in.
Barghest: 「I'm already prepared, may I ask when we're departing?」
"?"
Eikou froze, wondering where this was supposed to be.
He opened Barghest's messages, scrolled up, and discovered the entire chat log was from last night.
Had he really been sending and receiving messages with Barghest last night?
He had partied too wildly yesterday, drank too much, and had absolutely no memory of this at all.
Was it replying to messages while drunk?
"..."
Eikou suddenly remembered—that was when last night's unexpected skill check appeared.
Could it be that because the dice roll succeeded at that time, the event got triggered while he was drunk!
His heart immediately sank, and a bad premonition washed over him.
He hurriedly scrolled up to review last night's chat log.
Barghest: 「Sir Eikou, congratulations on winning the speed race.」
That message hadn't been seen at the time, and after a long while without reply—
Perhaps unable to wait any longer, Barghest sent another message.
Barghest: 「Um, are you there...」
Barghest: 「Anyway, since you've already won, shouldn't you fulfill the promise between us? I'm not being impatient... but I want to set the date for tomorrow.」
Eikou: 「Alright then, tomorrow it is, I also want to meet Bageko-chan right away!」
Barghest: 「!!!」
Eikou: 「Bageko-chan, this might be a bit sudden, but I can't hold back my desire for your body any longer, truth is I've always really wanted to...」
Eikou: 「Touch your pecs (˵ ¬ ¬˵)」
Barghest: 「???」
What the hell is "touch your pecs," this is outright sexual harassment! If you want to grope her chest then just say it straight!
What the hell did I reply while drunk!
Eikou was so embarrassed he wanted to throw his phone away.
But the worst part wasn't that he had spouted pervy old-man jokes to Barghest, it was that he had already agreed to go on a date with her today!
"It's over, I clearly promised to date her, but never thought it would be today..."
Because—this clashed directly with his date with Morgan!
Eikou suddenly thought of an even more serious problem.
Since he had promised Barghest while drunk last night, then maybe… maybe he had also promised other girls too.
He hurriedly checked through the chat log from last night again.
Below Morgan and Barghest, there was also a Melusine.
Melusine: 「My honey, tomorrow we're going on a date! Be a good boy and obey me!」
As expected, there you are—eat my fist!
He glanced to see how he himself had replied last night.
Eikou: 「Alright, alright, but I want to touch your abs a little.」
"Why is it when it came to Melusine it became abs-touching? Is it because she doesn't have much chest, so I just switched to another place?!"
Facing the drunk texts he himself had sent, Eikou couldn't help but explode.
Melusine: 「Fine, but as your lover, I also want to touch your [Beep——].」
Gah, I really ran into a pervert this time!
But that still wasn't the main issue—the main issue was that after Barghest there was yet another overlapping date.
Just what the hell is this, all three girls' dates overlapping at the same exact time?!
"Nooooooo!!!"
