Chapter 32 - Will He Die!?
Playing games is just an excuse.
Finding a proper reason to reconcile with Toujou Koneko was Mahiro's goal; otherwise, he would have continued to be despised by her, which gave him a headache.
Mahiro looked at Koneko and found that after agreeing to her request, she seemed to be in a good mood.
Sure enough, it was the right thing to do.
"This pervert."
Suddenly, the words came out of Koneko's mouth.
"You don't mean me, right? I have a temper when I suddenly get scolded."
Mahiro frowned, feeling a little depressed, not particularly wanting to get used to Koneko.
Could it be that she discovered his 'sinister' intentions?
Nor should it.
His request was also very reasonable, and there was no rudeness.
Why was he called a pervert all of a sudden?
"Not about you."
Koneko explained and then pointed to a place.
Mahiro was stunned momentarily, followed Toujou Koneko's finger and looked over.
Holding two game boxes in his hand, Hyoudou Issei wandered around the periphery of a commodity area, seemingly hesitating.
After he glanced around and saw that there was nothing unusual, he immediately walked in.
And what that area sells - the adult games.
Seeing this, Mahiro showed a smile that all men understand.
"You, too!"
Seeing the strange smile on Mahiro's face, Koneko said with a light snort.
"…"
Mahiro shrugged helplessly.
Her voice was completely different from before but had a coquettish tone, which he didn't mind.
"It is estimated that he will buy it soon. I will go and pay first."
Mahiro still understood Hyoudou Issei very well, he said.
"Ok."
Toujou Koneko nodded.
Then, Mahiro carried the basket to the counter and paid the bill, which cost him hundreds of thousands of yen.
Fortunately, his wallet was sufficient, and there was no pain in spending.
Mahiro returned to Toujou Koneko's side holding the bag of games.
"I'll help you carry some."
Seeing that Mahiro was carrying a bag in each hand, Toujou Koneko stretched out her hand and wanted to help Mahiro share the load.
And Mahiro glanced at her with a half-smile.
"I'm very strong."
Toujou Koneko shook her fist.
"Thanks."
Mahiro didn't refuse either, thanking her with a smile.
At this time, being a gentleman was obviously inappropriate.
Toujou Koneko showed goodwill toward him. If he refused, it would be insulting and might make their recently improved relationship regress.
"You're welcome."
Toujou Koneko took half of the load from Mahiro and seemed to want to take more, but Mahiro pretended not to notice and put his eyes directly on the adult game area.
Hyoudou Issei strolled around the adult game area for a few minutes and quickly came out hurriedly.
And the game box in his hand had changed from two to three.
After his strength increased, Mahiro's eyesight also improved, and he naturally saw that Issei had sandwiched the newly selected adult game between two ordinary games.
Seeing this, Mahiro couldn't help but chuckle in his heart; he really had the demeanor of a high school student.
After leaving the adult game area, Hyoudou Issei seemed very experienced and immediately walked over to the counter as if nothing was wrong.
Very skillfully, he took out his wallet, paid the money, and put the games into his bag.
Hyoudou Issei's face was calm, but his eyes were very excited. He even quickened his pace as if he wanted to fly.
"Disgusting."
Toujou Koneko looked disgusted and obviously hated seeing Hyoudou Issei buy adult games.
"Let's follow him."
Seeing Issei walking out of the store excitedly, Mahiro said casually.
"Ok."
Toujou Koneko nodded, and the two followed behind Issei, tens of meters away, not too close or far.
After buying the game from the store, Hyoudou Issei didn't seem to have anything else to do. He was happy and unrestrained all the way and went home without delay.
"That's it for today's task."
After seeing Issei walk into his house, Koneko's task was completed.
She didn't like Hyoudou Issei very much and didn't want to stay any longer.
"See you tomorrow then."
Mahiro also said goodbye with a smile, looking at the bag in Koneko's hand, and said, "By the way, let's leave these games to you for now."
"Why?"
Toujou Koneko wondered.
"These are enough for me to play for the time being. If they are left at home, they'll just accumulate dust. If they are with you, they can be played."
"And..."
Mahiro took out the summoning card, shook it, and said, "If I want to play, I can just summon you."
"Then... just leave them with me for now."
Toujou Koneko hesitated for a while, but seeing the smile on Mahiro's face, she did not refuse.
"I will answer your call."
Toujou Koneko said seriously.
"Okay, if I have time, I'll summon you."
Hearing this, Koneko was in a good mood and turned to leave.
After seeing Toujou Koneko leave, Mahiro glanced at Issei's house and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Promising Rias to accompany Koneko to monitor Hyoudou Issei was not only to pass time but also to complete the side quests of the system.
Now that he knew Issei's address, it was a good gain.
After thinking for a while, Mahiro turned to leave and returned home.
After returning home, Mahiro put down the games, changed clothes, rested briefly, and went for dinner.
By the time dinner was over, it was already dark.
After buying a mask from the convenience store and withdrawing 200,000 yen from the ATM, Mahiro came to Hyoudou Issei's house again.
"System, will people die after using the Sacred Gear Loot Card?"
Looking at the brightly lit home of Hyoudou Issei, Mahiro asked the system in his mind.
"No."
The system's cold mechanical voice sounded, "However, if the owner resists strongly, there may be a chance of death."
"…"
'Shit...'
Mahiro cursed inwardly.
When he heard "no," Mahiro felt very relaxed. After all, he had no grievances with Hyoudou Issei. If stealing his Sacred Gear meant killing him, it would be too much.
When he heard the last sentence, Mahiro was in a bad mood.
"Forget it, as long as he doesn't resist at that time."
Mahiro surveyed the surroundings, and after confirming that no one was watching, he put on his mask and climbed up the balcony on the second floor of this house.
