Chapter 22

"I need tacos," Clyde said as he stepped outside . He pushed away the thought of the popular girl . She'd be after him—he somehow knew . The young man would combat that trope when he got there . Right now, he just wanted to take control of the harem trope and f.u.c.k destroy it . The system wasn't going to drag him around . Dragging around the guy to new the world .

He pulled out his phone to search a location on the web browser . As soon as he found one, he proceeded to dial Chika when a familiar voice caught his attention .

"Are you done with school yet?"

Clyde turned to see Alice, dressed in the school uniform, walking toward him . He briefly scanned the area with just his eyes .

"Not yet, just going for some lunch," he said . His anime trope senses vibrated within . Who was going to show up? He needed to be proactive to defeat the Harem trope . "Let's go!"

Alice looked thrilled as he pulled her to board the city bus . As the vehicle set in motion, he saw Harumi and her friend walk out of the front doors engaged in some conversation .

"Where are we going?" Alice asked .

"We're going to get tacos," Clyde said . At that moment, the demoness's stomach growled . She blushed in a way that was overwhelmingly cute . The anime girl way . "Don't start drooling now . "

She gave him a brief pouty face then moved as close as possible to Clyde .

"I'll have to punish you for being rude," she whispered .

She placed her hand on his lap, grabbing his horn . "How long do you think we can go at it until the humans try to throw us off . "

"Yeah, I'm going to have to stop you there," Clyde said . "Not trying to get thrown in jail . "

Alice giggled .

The bus stopped . A redhead, that made even Alice's smile drop, boarded . Everyone looked a bit uncomfortable and excited as if a celebrity walked among them .

"Great," Clyde muttered . "Well, if she f.u.c.ks off, I'll f.u.c.k off . "

Clyde got no such luxury . Melody's glare struck him like a lightning bolt . Unsure of what came over him, Clyde grinned, infuriating the girl . A quick a.n.a.lyze showed her current strength .

Clyde shook his head . Why in the h.e.l.l was the system attempting to get him in bed with someone who'd rather send him on Mars to watch his head explode .

Melody's eyes remained glued to the young man for fifteen minutes until Clyde just couldn't take it anymore . Alice tapped on his arm before he had the chance to do something stupid .

"We've got to do something about her . Maybe trap her? You've got that favor . "

Clyde chuckled .

"Don't bother . She's not worth the time . "

Alice gave him a disappointed look but said nothing . When they got off the bus, so did Melody and four others with glazed eyes .

Clyde's inner gamer squealed . Every level increase with heart protection edged him closer to being immune to mental magic or any other bulls.h.i.+t OP ability .

"Look, I want tacos, not trouble . How does tacos sound?" Clyde said . "My treat . "

Melody looked as if she considered the offer . The young man did his best not to entertain the sideways glance from the demoness . He could've sworn there was a millisecond of horror in her eyes .

"You will not bribe me with…ugh, tacos sound so heavenly—but the sight of you…you making me look bad . Gentlemen, kick his a.s.s . "

Clyde a.n.a.lyzed the four entranced men as they slowly approached him .

Clyde didn't bother a.n.a.lyzing the other two—the ex-military man looked buff enough to rip him in half with just his stare .

[You've entered combat!]

"No system, you can't do this to me," Clyde said as he took off running . Or so he thought he ran, but the military guy grabbed his arm . He almost had a face full of knuckles, but something strange happened . At the last second, the man's fist froze .

[Alice overrides your party . ]

[Alice's radiance has covered the party . ]

Full of energy and confidence, Clyde pulled out of Rodger's grip . Despite the radiance, the young man knew he stood no chance . The jarhead was f.u.c.king level sixty-four . Yet…Alice still controlled the battle . Wasn't her level just twenty-seven?

"Who are you, really?" Melody said to Clyde, but when she looked at Alice, something resembling recognition, maybe skepticism pa.s.sed through her eyes .

The demoness held up a hand . Lights s.h.i.+ned everywhere like the glimmer of an upbeat nightclub .

[Alice used Targeted Strike Bolt]

A spotlight shone from nowhere on Melody and her entranced goons . Blue lightning smacked against them from the same invisible spot in the sky . They dropped .

[Enemy party has been inflicted with paralysis]

"Let's get tacos now," the demoness said then stuck her tongue out at the enemy group . "Stupid humans . "

[Alice ended the battle . ]

Holy f.u.c.k . Clyde thanked the stars that the demoness was his friend . Broken and overpowered—that level twenty-seven had to be fake . Maybe… . she hid it like Harumi .

"Tacos it is . " His craving allowed him to forget the fact that if it wasn't for Alice, he would've gotten the s.h.i.+t beat out of him by some serious high-levels .

Just then, he stopped as realization dawned on him . Alice… . was the demon lord's daughter . She had to be!
