Chapter 130: Baobhan Sith, joins the great dating war!
Not good...
No matter how you look at this situation, it's really not good.
Why did it turn out like this, all the schedules of those three girls completely crashed into each other!
Although he did indeed promise to go on dates, he never thought of arranging all of them on the same day.
"As expected, I shouldn't drink, every time I drink something big happens..."
Eikou put down the phone, burying his whole head into the pillow.
"Somebody please save me, I absolutely can't handle this situation!"
Bzzz bzzz!
The phone suddenly rang out with a vibration.
In that instant, Eikou truly thought heaven had heard his prayer, carrying a last glimmer of hope as he opened the message to check...
Baobhan Sith: 「Trash fish, isn't it about time you fulfilled your promise? Today hurry up and come out with me for a trip!」
Smack!
Eikou couldn't help but grab the pillow and smack the phone.
"Why did another dating target get added again!" he said, "To be honest I never promised to date Baobhan Sith, I mean, even if I were the one to ask her out, with that attitude of hers, it's the kind that totally doesn't care anyway!"
"So just how many mistakes did I commit last night?"
He scrolled back through his chat log with Baobhan Sith.
However, last night there had been absolutely no contact between the two of them, let alone any mention of the word "date."
"Last night clearly we didn't talk at all, the last time I asked her out was at that haunted house, that damn haunted house... Why is she suddenly demanding me to fulfill a promise now, I don't have the slightest impression at all!"
Eikou hurriedly sent off his doubt: 「What promise?」
Baobhan Sith's reply quickly arrived:
「Already calling you trash fish, turns out your memory really is only seven seconds long?」
「Don't tell me you forgot our previous promise? I suspected that Mother-sama seemed to already have someone she likes, I wanted you to help me find out who that person is.」
「Aren't you very much favored by Mother-sama, though saying it out loud is a little unwilling, but you definitely analyze her preferences better than I can, so I need you to lend me a hand.」
「I plan to find out Mother-sama's romantic partner today!」
"..."
Eikou thought to himself, so it was about this.
Indeed, previously he had made that promise with Baobhan Sith...
But because of the previous matters, he subconsciously lumped it together, thinking she also wanted to become part of his dating fleet.
No, but doesn't that make the situation even worse?
Baobhan Sith not only wanted to occupy his schedule, but also intended to investigate who Morgan's romantic partner really was.
These two schedules completely contradicted each other already!
Could it be today he would have to both go on a date with Morgan, and at the same time accompany Baobhan Sith to investigate Morgan's date?
What the hell, this really is the structure of hell!
A drop of cold sweat slid down from Eikou's chin.
He quickly sent Baobhan Sith a message.
「Can't it be switched to another day, how do you even know today Morgan is going to meet her lover?」
Baobhan Sith: 「I just know, if it's not something you need to know then don't ask so much.」
Eikou thought to himself: I am the party concerned here, the center of this vortex, I've got even more right to speak than you.
「If you want me to help then at least I should have the right to know what's going on right?」
Baobhan Sith: 「...」
Baobhan Sith: 「Fine then, since you insist on knowing, I'll reveal a little...」
Baobhan Sith: 「Last night Mother-sama was both trying on clothes and booking a hotel, also said that tomorrow night she probably won't return home. This morning her reaction was also very strange, no matter how you look at it, it seems she's about to meet a lover right?」
Booking a hotel? Not coming home tomorrow night?
Could it really be that she's going to stay overnight at a hotel...
Eikou thought to himself: could it be that my virginity is still inevitably hard to preserve today?
No, today I've been arranged with so many dates, how would I even have time to open a room with Morgan!
Baobhan Sith: 「To be able to captivate Mother-sama like that, even going to the trouble of arranging so many prior appointments, that person is absolutely no ordinary character!」
Baobhan Sith: 「It's possible... that it's a Grand-class Servant!」
Baobhan Sith: 「At the very least, it must be a Lostbelt King of the same rank... but even so, I still think they are simply unworthy of Mother-sama!」
"Grand and Lostbelt King are also unworthy of your Mother-sama, then what, does it take something on the level of ORT to be considered a proper match?!"
Eikou thought to himself, sorry, but the one your Mother-sama is dating is neither Grand nor Lostbelt King.
That person is just an idiot who once swung an entire Grand Servant as a weapon (fighting with Mordred), and even 'caught' another Grand in that haunted house!
It's me, Mochizuki Eikou!!!
Baobhan Sith: 「Alright, this matter cannot be delayed, we must definitely investigate clearly the target of Mother-sama!」
Eikou: 「Sorry, I'm not free today.」
Baobhan Sith: 「Then why were you asking all over just now, trash fish, small fry, weren't you wasting my precious time!」
"..."
Eikou thought to himself: what could I even do, do you really expect me to accompany you to investigate myself.
Just three dates already made his head hurt, now adding one more Baobhan Sith only made things more troublesome.
"This time my head is clear, there's absolutely no way I'll agree to another girl's date invitation. Sorry Baobhan Sith, your timing is just wrong!
"All in all, such a ridiculous kind of date is something I absolutely cannot agree to."
Eikou: 「Baobhan Sith, I have to remind you, matters of adults are not for children to interfere in, there are many things you simply cannot stop...」
Baobhan Sith: 「Stop spouting nonsense here, I really shouldn't have told you. Right now with every second I waste on you, the virginity of my Mother-sama is being ogled by that person!」
Sorry, but it's actually your Mother-sama herself who is preying on that person's virginity!
Baobhan Sith: 「Trash fish trash fish trash fish trash fish trash fish trash fish trash fish trash fish.....」
"What kind of childish elementary school level bickering is this..."
Eikou sighed helplessly.
Forget it, later when dating Morgan, he only needed to be a little careful, just not let her daughter find out.
Baobhan Sith: 「...So, you really don't intend to go?」
Baobhan Sith: 「Truly can't rely on an idiot like you... fine then, anyway I already know where Mother-sama intends to go on her date today, I can handle it alone!」
What?! You actually know our dating schedule clearly?!
Eikou panicked, hurriedly typing to ask for clarification.
「How do you know?」
Baobhan Sith: 「Since you don't intend to participate, is there even a need for me to tell you?」
Damn it, could it be that today his relationship with Morgan will be exposed?!
If Baobhan Sith only grasped the schedule, it would be easy to maneuver, just change the meeting place a bit and he could disrupt her plan.
But if she had Morgan's location, then the problem would become really troublesome!
Because then, when he went on his date with Morgan, it would be very difficult to shake off Baobhan Sith, not to mention she would be in the dark while he was in the open, even if he wanted to hide he wouldn't know where to start!
"Once Baobhan Sith discovers it, my relationship with her will nearly collapse... and if the relationship with the heroine of this route becomes this strained, then there's no way I can obtain her Noble Phantasm later."
"If the relationship is cut off what will happen? Either the whole simulation gets interrupted, or I won't be able to obtain the Noble Phantasm, and in real life I'll be suppressed everywhere!"
Not to mention the threat from Kiara, just yesterday's race alone was enough to make Eikou clearly understand the importance of a Noble Phantasm.
Although he won the championship, only he knew how difficult it was. If at that time he had a Noble Phantasm in hand, the situation would definitely have been much easier.
Therefore——
The relationship with Baobhan Sith absolutely cannot be severed!
No, not only can it not be severed, but he also had to turn crisis into opportunity, taking advantage of the upcoming exams to seize the chance to conquer her!
"At the very least, I must find a way to hide my relationship with Morgan in front of her."
"So, right now I'm forced to go meet Baobhan Sith, investigate clearly how she managed to find out Morgan's location, then afterward figure out how to adapt!"
Eikou thought with a serious expression.
"In the proper sense, could this also be considered an opportunity to conquer her? But can I really grasp it?"
First agree to Baobhan Sith's invitation.
Investigate how she knew the place of his date with Morgan, then decide afterward.
The general process was like that.
Although his thoughts were already very clear, however...
In other words...
Morgan, Melusine, Barghest, aside from those three...
Today he also had to agree to Baobhan Sith's invitation!
A single day having to date four girls at the same time?!
He wasn't sure if he could do it, but if he did nothing then he would really die here!
From the very moment he woke up this morning, all those bombs named "Disaster With Women" had already been planted, about to explode!
"Judging from the degree of danger (as well as from the perspective of morality), Baobhan Sith and Morgan are without a doubt the two most dangerous, therefore this will be the top priority schedule today."
"As for Melusine and Barghest, I'll just think of another way. One of them is probably still sleeping in, temporarily not in danger of exploding; the other one is rather reasonable, if I explain properly, she'll probably still agree to postpone the date. Roughly… maybe… probably… hopefully..."
Umu, for now let's just plan it that way.
He hurriedly sent a message to Baobhan Sith.
Eikou: 「On second thought, count me in.」
Baobhan Sith: 「Trash fish, why did you suddenly change your mind?」
Eikou: 「I really can't feel at ease leaving you to investigate alone.」
By every meaning, it truly didn't feel reassuring at all.
Baobhan Sith: 「Hmph.」
Baobhan Sith: 「Fine then, I'll give you a chance to show your capability, but don't drag me down, alright?」
「Got it.」
After sending the message, Eikou lay down on the bed exhausted.
There would definitely be many things to do today, but just thinking about it, he already had no motivation left, only wanting to lie still and wait for death to come close.
"Want to turn into cheese bread, want to turn into steamed cheesecake."
Dating multiple people at the same time huh...
Not sure if I can endure it.
In the end, how did a peaceful vacation turn into this!
...
Meanwhile.
On the other side of Chaldea Academy, in the girls' dormitory.
Jeanne Alter got up quite early today. She wore a thin pajama set, her graceful and beautiful figure curled up in a warm blanket.
All alone and sneaky, she was using her phone to search for nearby dating spots.
After her victory in the speed race and obtaining the Holy Grail Shard, she no longer had to worry about being expelled due to overly low grades.
However, a new worry now appeared before her.
That was—how she should repay the kindness of Eikou.
She had no clue at all, only aimlessly scrolling through the dating spots directory on her phone.
"'Ultil you is dry'..."
Jeanne Alter suddenly saw the hotel Eikou once mentioned.
"Standard room, if calculated by the hour the fee is over 100QP, but if for the whole night there's a discount... um, annoying, still too expensive..."
"Completely soundproof, water bed, lubricants, oversized bathtub, if it's a deluxe room you even get free preparations of various health-protection products and uniform props... Why does this hotel have such weird services, these things are totally unnecessary! Or rather, as expected this is exactly that kind of weird hotel, the so-called love hotel!"
Jeanne Alter felt a bit tangled, she lightly ruffled her soft white hair.
"Clearly it's such a weird kind of hotel, why is the price so high...or is it because it's weird that it's expensive?"
Smack!
Her face flushed red as she slammed hard onto the bed.
"Why do I even have to look up this kind of thing, you idiot! I only wanted to repay a little favor, I said very clearly that I'd take him out to have some fun, how did it turn into looking like I'm preparing to rent a room!"
Jeanne Alter hurriedly locked her phone screen, not daring to look at it any longer, burying her flushed face into her pillow and blanket.
"It's all his fault, all his fault! He clearly said he wanted me to treat him to a date, yet he didn't bother saying a single word about where he wanted to go. I want to take him out, but I don't even know where to start."
"In the end, the only place he's ever mentioned, the only place he said he wanted to go with me, is just this love hotel. But how could I actually take him there! I'm absolutely not that kind of easy girl, just being caught off guard a little and then obediently following along!"
Of course, all of this had only been some jokes from Eikou.
From the very start, he never really thought about Jeanne Alter treating him to anything 'special', at most just a barbecue meal would have been enough to make him satisfied.
However, with an overly self-interpreting Tsundere, even though she clearly knew he was probably just joking, she still couldn't stop imagining that maybe he really did have that intention.
Just what kind of date should she prepare for him, taking him for a simple meal should be enough, right? But would he really be satisfied with that?
"..."
Jeanne Alter's fair white face turned crimson again, she curled herself up in the blanket.
"But...does he want to take a step further, if he really wanted to go to that place with me then..."
Her face reddened, her skin seemed to emit heat, her beautiful golden eyes were covered by a faint mist, complex, carrying a bit of indescribable ambiguity.
She had no idea why she ended up like this, her mind a mess, and she began scrolling further through the detailed introduction of that hotel.
"Come to think of it, this bed really is a bit impressive...just pressing a button makes it rotate? But what kind of special use does this design even have?"
"No! Why am I even paying attention to that!"
—At the same moment, a boy in the male dormitory and a girl in the female dormitory shouted at the same time:
""This whole dating thing is seriously a pain in the ass!""
