Heroine-Saving System: Reborn In A Third-Rate Manga As The Protagonist

Chapter 145 146: Blood...

"So… this is my apartment." Mirei introduced and Koya blinked, this was the first time that he had been in the Class 1 lodgings and his throat grew dry.

He always wondered why the building was really big compared to the other ones when there were a smaller amount of Class 1 students in ALI and now he knew.

Mirei's room which was Room 6 was far bigger than even the Number 1 room where he and Misora stayed in the Class 5 building.

'It almost looks like we're living in poverty.' Koya thought while blinking, first of all, this was just the living room and it was far far bigger than what they had with a long screen Television and couches, hell the moment that they had stepped in there was an automatic air condition blowing at his face. 'How unfair…'

At the very least, after the Mid-terms as long as the rest of his classmates in Class 5 didn't flunk it then they could file for a Class Change and possibly make it to Class 4 or 3, it would be a much better upgrade than the bottom tier facilities that they were currently using and living in.

"You seem amazed, Koya-kun." Mirei said adjusting her light pink bangs. "Don't worry, you can come visit me as much as you want. There's no rule in ALI saying that students can't sleep with each other."

"Hard Pass." Koya told her, he wouldn't be swayed into becoming the pet of a succubus just because of some good living area. "Since you called me over to spend time with you, what plans do you have…?"

He looked at the television, there was a round table near one of the long couches and scattered all over it were books.

'How To Seduce A Man Properly… How To Cook… How To– What the hell is she reading?' He thought but then again, he had to give her props at actively trying to learn like he told her last time but still… Seduce? That wouldn't work, Mirei's succubus charms were pale in comparison to the cuteness of Miyuki.

"A… ah." She appeared in front of Koya, covering the titles of the books with her body unaware that he had already seen them. "You shouldn't be looking at my books."

The way she was bent over showed a bit of her panties and they were pink as well with bunny shapes on them.

'What a nice pair…' He thought before blinking. 'What the hell is wrong with me? I shouldn't be complimenting panties.'

"Koya-kun, you can make yourself at home and take off your coat too." She said as she packed all the books into a pile and whistled. "B-6, come here."

There was the small sound of rolling as a rolling ball came from inside the apartment and entered the room, unfolding and having a robotic egg-like head.

"Bzzt… Welcome home Milady, I see you have brought Amagi Koya with you." B-6 said and she nodded.

"Please take his coat, I doubt Koya-kun would want to take anything else. Also did you place the order like I asked?" Mirei asked and the bot bzzted in answer.

"Bzzt… Of course milady, your food has been ordered and will be here within minutes. I will take his coat now for washing." B-6 said and then the compartment opened, revealing a storage compartment in the machine.

An intense amount of suctioning covered Koya but it wasn't aimed at the blond haired young man but instead at the long ALI coat at his back and sucked it in before rolling off completely.

Koya blinked as Mirei walked to the far end of the living room where there were shelves and placed the books there normally.

"I've been learning and trying to understand as much as possible." Mirei told him without looking. "To test it out, I have recently asked several men between Class 2 to Class 5 to be my dogs and they agreed without hesitation. Even without my Succubus pheromones or abilities, I am so beautiful that so many people want me to step over them and become my personal slaves so why don't you?"

"I think that's because I have something called Self respect." Koya said while sitting down on a couch and relaxing, it was made of soft material so he just sank into it. 'Oh… I could get used to this.'

"That's what makes you so interesting Koya-kun." Mirei said as she placed the last of her books on the shelf. "You have self respect but its different from these nobles, I think that makes you hot."

Her breath was suddenly against his ear, as for how she moved that fast, he didn't want to think about it. All Koya wanted to do this afternoon was relax… even if it was in the apartment of a crazy heroine.

"But it also makes you annoying." She placed a hand on his shoulder. "But I guess it's like how the humans of this world say; The chase will all be worth it in the end, Koya-kun… let me tell you my plans for you, once I've gotten you to fall for me and agree to be my pet. We'll be going at it everyday, I don't like how you surround yourself with so many beautiful women but I'm not like you as you'll be my only pet."

From placing a hand on his shoulder, her hands had snaked forward to his chest as she was "hugging" him from behind.

"We'll do it every day and night, even when I'm pregnant, you'll have to breed me so that we'll have a lot of little Mireis running around. Don't worry, I'll put a leash on you and take you on walks too, we can't be having sex everyday as well. We also have to move away to a Supercity like Memphra to get privacy. I, Mirei pledge to be the very best master you've ever had." Mirei said and Koya sighed.

It was pretty hard to just ignore all of this but somehow, he nonchalantly let it slide.

'System.' Koya thought and the screen morphed in front of his eyes.

「Yes Host, your System is at your command」

'If I remember correctly, you're the Heroine-Saving System correct? How are we supposed to save this psychopath then?' Koya asked, she was dumb too… Who would fall for the person that had quite literally told them that they were going to enslave them?

「That's the neat thing Host… You don't.」

Koya almost laughed out loud however just as that happened, the door was knocked on.

"Delivery for Class 1 Student, Mirei!" A person called from the door and Mirei let go of him walking over to the front door, her regular ALI clothes had vanished and were replaced with casual clothes that even had her nipples sticking through them.

She opened the door and the delivery man flinched a bit.

"Ma'am…" He gulped. "You already did the transfer as usual, so–"

She took the package with one hand and patted his head with the other hand, making him look down.

"What a good boy you are, you can leave now." Mirei said and the man nodded before scurrying off.

'The hell…' Koya blinked, that was a fully grown man too… Mirei turned back to him with a smile on his face.

"Why do you look so surprised? I didn't even need to use my skill for that one or most of them for that matter." Mirei said as she returned to the table and placed the package on it, unraveling it and revealing several bowls and packs of food that could easily cost around thirty thousand Individual Points… "I actually had these ordered from the Kitchen that makes the food where us Class 1 nobles eat so naturally it costs a lot of Individual Points and I hope you eat with me, Koya-kun."

"W… Why did you order expensive stuff?" He asked. "We could have gone with normal stuff from the Cafateria."

Her face looked alarmed.

"B-but I read and heard that for the first date, you had to try extra hard and make things extra expensive so that the person likes you." Mirei replied while turning to him and he chuckled.

"It doesn't really matter, we'll eat it regardless." Koya said. "Thank you."

It made Mirei's heart warm when she saw him smile like that, if he smiled at her like this everyday while she was riding him with a collar on his neck… Then maybe she would consider letting him off the leash for some hours.

"You're welcome Koya-kun." She took a seat and her breasts shook. "So you wanna watch something?"

He reviewed mangas so she had stalked his account and found out that he had a favorite anime last year called The Legendary Swordsman Wants To Live A Peaceful Life and while Mirei didn't know why the name was like that, she had bought a WhiteKingRoll subscription just for it.

The app was owned by the White King and the only place where you could watch anime and movies after paying 10k crowns for a membership.

"I don't have any plans, do you have something you want to watch?" Koya asked, he was more or less mentally preparing for the date with Saki… the Professor hadn't decided on a day yet but he was sure it would be tomorrow perhaps.

"Of course, I want to…" She picked up the remote accessing the app and typing in the name of the anime that Koya liked. "Watch this one."

He looked at the name and then at her. "Are you stalking me?"

Well the question should be was she not stalking him? She had literally been doing so for days now.

"I'm actually interested in anime and I want to watch this one… Umm… I don't know much about it so that's why I wanted you to be here when I started." Mirei said as she clicked play on Episode 1 and unwrapped a bowl of steaming hot pepperish ramen and handed it to him alongside chopsticks. "Let's eat and watch anime, how about it?"

Koya took the chopsticks from her hand as well as the bowl.

"Sure…" He said and they focused on the TV as the theme song started playing on the TV alongside with the characters moving across the screen according to what Mirei could see.

And that was how it started… They ate and watched anime, finishing the Episode 1 and going onto Episode 2 however halfway through it, Mirei couldn't take it anymore.

'I hate human customs…' It was intriguing at first but it dealt with waiting, she was supposed to make Koya fall in love with her first so that he would willingly become her pet but that meant waiting… and waiting. 'Mother didn't have to do all of this.'

When her mother enslaved her father, she had just killed off his whole family and then enslaving him became easier… but if she did that then Misora or rather Hakua would come after her so Mirei planned on something else, instead of focusing all of her power into learning human customs, why not overpower Koya here and force him to submit to her?

Then they'd fuck on the ground there immediately and tell him to release the protections on his mind so that she could make him one of her mindless slaves.

Mirei glanced at Koya who looked like he was enjoying their time together while eating some fries that had been dipped in some special sauce.

'I apologize but I have no desire to wait in humanly terms.' Mirei thought and stabbed her leg forward with a kick to which Koya defended with his knee and she replied by flipping the table.

'The hell? Why is she suddenly attacking me?' He thought while moving away from the couch in a leap while stuffing the last of the chips into his mouth.

"C-6, initiate lockdown!" She yelled out and the lights blared red as the doors and the walls including the windows, a new layer of grey wall spread all over them as Mirei stared at Koya. "I've grown tired of using these human tricks, I'll do it the good old fashioned way, I'll have to make you submit."

'You know… I was enjoying Mirei actually acting like a normal person.' He thought but looking at the look in her eyes now, that wasn't how someone looked like a normal person… She was looking at him as if he was an item.

Good things didn't last for long, besides he wasn't the kind of person to hold their punches back just because it was a woman. For wasting all of that good food, he was going to smash her face into the ground.

"Well then, if you want me then you better earn me." He said and the woman moved forward with her speed closing the distance between them.

Mirei was well aware that he resisted her succubus skills but what did that matter?

Fists existed for a reason, she would pound his face in and then regenerate it again with her fluids to avoid damaging her living room.

With that Mirei threw a kick at him however he ignored it all together and went for a straight punch in her gut.

Mirei didn't expect the sheer velocity of his response. In her mind, she was the predator, but the moment Koya's fist connected with her abdomen, the hierarchy in the room shattered.

K-CHAK!

The sound wasn't a dull thud; it was the sound of a structural failure.

A visible shockwave exploded from the point of contact, rippling through Mirei's torso and blowing the heavy velvet curtains behind her off their rails.

The force didn't just push her backward, it rendered her completely useless; Mirei could only feel her feet leave the floor as she was propelled backward with her vision flashing white.

She slammed into her mahogany bookshelf and the wood broke like dry twigs under the force of her impact.

Books… the very ones she had been studying to "seduce" him rained down on her head like mocking confetti. Blood sprayed from her mouth and nose, feeling hot against her hand.

'H-how hard did he punch me?' She thought, her breath catching in a throat that suddenly tasted like copper but the Half succubus wasn't done.

The pain ignited a spark of stubbornness. She forced her mana to surge and the violet aura around her hands thickened into jagged blades.

She scrambled out of the wreckage, her speed doubling as she blurred into a low-to-the-ground dash.

Koya back-handed her as she tried to sweep his legs, his movement carrying the casual weight of a man swatting a fly.

She dodged, focusing mana into her palm and throwing a desperate punch forward at his face.

'I'm the best out of all of the heirs…' With the sole exception of Hakua Shirogane, she could well be the most talented out of all of them.

She wasn't used to being hit, let alone being treated like a common brawler.

Koya threw another punch and she blurred past it appearing behind his back and she brought down the blades watching as it dug into his shoulder, splattering his blood all over her face.

She felt the resistance of his flesh, the tear of the fabric, and an ecstatic thrill shot through her.

She was limited since this was her room but with this wound, she had the physical advantag—

Koya elbowed her with his free arm, landing a direct strike at her stomach and making her cough out blood again then he turned around, kicking her in the stomach.

The force was unrelenting. Before she could even regain her footing, he pivoted on his lead foot and spin kicked her across the face.

CRACK.

The impact launched her across the living room.

She hit the reinforced grey shutters of the window with a metallic boom that echoed through the entire apartment.

She slid to the floor, her body limp and trembling as her blood splattered in dark heavy droplets on the white carpet.

'She's pretty weak… I guess this is because we're in a limited space.' He thought while looking at the wound on his shoulder.

It was deep but he ignored the sting. He reached into his mind and prevented his Blessing skill from healing it. He needed this to look real.

「Host, why did you choose to take that attack when you could have easily dodged it? Your reaction speed is far beyond her current output.」

'Well we fought… If I step out of a Class 1 student's room without injury then it'd be like I started up the attack.' Koya thought.

He wasn't a fool… Mirei was a high-ranking noble; if he left her room looking like he'd just had a peaceful lunch while she was a bloody mess, the Disciplinary committee would have a field day but with his own blood soaking his shirt, it was a different story.

He was simply defending himself.

Koya turned to the C6 robot, which was currently vibrating in a corner of the room with its sensors likely overloaded by the sudden violence.

"Give me my coat and disable this thing…" He said.

The robot bzzted in fear or whatever passed for it in a machine and complied. The suction hummed as it spat his coat back out, and the grey shutters retracted with a series of heavy clicks.

He donned back his coat on, letting it get a bit more bloodied with his own blood, the dark stains spreading across the expensive fabric, before walking out of Mirei's room without a second glance.

Mirei on the other hand wasn't faring so good. Her world was spinning, and her stomach felt like it had been put through a hydraulic press.

'I was defeated so easily…' She thought, the realization stinging more than the bruises.

Even though she was very good in close-combat, she hadn't even been able to see him properly when he was attacking her.

The woman dislodged herself from the wall and looked at the crater that was self-repairing, the nanites in the wall hissing as they filled the gaps.

"I guess I have to go back to standard human procedures." She muttered, her voice turning into a raspy whisper.

Her stomach hurt… He had aimed his attacks here and at her face with a terrifying lack of hesitation. "How rude… hitting a lady like that."

His blood was still over her face, cooling against her skin. It smelled different from the blood of the men she usually encountered.

'Mother told me that we descended a bit from one of the clans that were from the early Apocalypse that liked blood…' She thought.

She had tasted blood before during combat training and it was always disgusting but since it was Koya-kun's blood then it couldn't be bad right?

She licked the blood on her face, her long tongue wiping at her lips as she brought it back inside and swallowed only for her eyes to widen.

'H… huh?!'
