The Grape-Head who died and became the Demon Lord

Chapter 3: Security?!

It was the next day. After getting settled at the academy, Mineta made quick work of getting accustomed to the school. Now he wore the school's uniform which was basically a school uniform which comprises of a black blazer with a white dress shirt underneath, which he usually has the top two buttons of both unbuttoned. He wears khaki pants with brown closed toe shoes with black socks.

Now, he sat in Lilith's class as she was teaching about the concept of magic construction. But while in the class Mineta sat with his head leaning on his hand with an uneasy look on his face.

You maybe asking, 'Why does he have an uneasy look on his face?'. To answer, all of the girls in the class had their attention glued onto him after hearing that he was the Demon Lord Candidate, a powerful mage with an unbelievable amount of power. Some held looks of interest and looks of liking. While the others, mainly boys, held looks of jealousy that he had all of the girls attention.

Normally, something like this would overwhelm Mineta with a sense of pride and joy, making him want to boast about it infront of the other boys faces, but it wasn't that what made him feel uneasy and uncomfortable. Sitting beside him, Arin stared at Mineta as he tried hard not to look at her. But her continuous staring made even him feel a bit uncomfortable.

Lilith: The one credited with the idea of viewing the concept that 'all matter is made up of atoms from a cosmological perspective' is a man who was known as the father of Alchemy, Paracelsus, or Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombatus von Hohenheim.

She said.

Mineta: Hey Lilith, what's the meaning of this?

He asked her as Lilith turned her head from teaching to look at him and Arin.

Lilith: Um, I don't know.

She says, much to Mineta's delight as he still feels her lingering eyes peering on him.

During the day he went on as usual with school, though with the presence of Arin being by his side. She was with him wherever he went. She was there when he went to the cafeteria, in the caf she simply observed Mineta as he ate his dumplings. Her eyes darting between him and his food slowly as it entered his mouth. Chewing on the food she watched as his mouth moved with the food being digested.

When he walked through the hallways, she walked by his side still watching him. Thinking of a way to get her off his trail, he walked over to the boys restroom where he attempted to go in alone only to notice that she was following in behind him.

Mineta: No! No! No!

He said pushing her back gently with his hands in her shoulder as they stood in the hall.

Mineta: Okay, why are you following me? I mean even though I like a girl who'll want to stick all up to me, you're just a bit too...clingy. And it's a bad kind of clingy.

Arin: Is it wrong that I want to be by you?

Mineta: Not when I don't know why?

He quickly dejects as Arin stares at him plainly.

Arin: How troublesome.

Grimoire: Yeah, I'd hate to say it but I agree. When did you start getting so serious?

The Grimoire questions him. Hinting how he was bothered as to why Arin wanted to be so close to him.

Mineta: I wouldn't say I'm serious, just curious.

He says defending himself.

Grimoire: Why? Is it because she looks like Hijiri?

She says as Arin seems to flinch hearing the grimoire speak. Mineta saw this as he watched as she leaned towards the grimoire.
