While Kuroba's words were indeed touching, this guy...

Rias felt the thing trembling and growing larger in her lower abdomen, and she couldn't help but feel a little aroused.

Kuroba was naturally aware of his situation, but there was nothing he could do; he simply couldn't control it. It would be strange if he didn't react when a stunningly beautiful woman with a delicate and graceful figure was pressed naked against him.

"that..."

They both spoke at the same time.

"Um... senior, I'd better go out first, you can go wash up first."

Kuroba scratched his head awkwardly, looking quite uneasy.

Rias seemed to have returned to normal, her expression regaining its usual slightly teasing and playful quality.

She reached out and gently grasped the handle of the black feather that was trembling incessantly.

"Hey... do you really think so? It seems a little unwilling?"

As the gentle touch enveloped him, Kuroba inhaled sharply.

"Ouch... Senior, that's foul!"

Seeing Kuroba's reaction, Rias couldn't help but giggle.

"This isn't the first time I've treated you like this, so how can it be considered a foul? Besides, as my lovely familiar, seeing how hard you've worked lately, as your master, I should give you a reward~"

As Rias spoke, she alluringly helped Kuroba squat down, and when she saw the trembling figure, she couldn't help but lick her lips.

Just as Rias was about to open her mouth to take it in, her chin was hooked by Kuroba.

"Senior, since it's a reward, can I choose the method myself?"

Rias glanced at Kuroba in surprise, then gave him a charmingly disdainful look.

"Alright, what kind of bad idea are you thinking of now?"

Kuroba boldly reached out and grasped Rias's snow-white breasts, feeling the soft, supple touch that slipped through his fingers.

"Senior, use this."

Lia looked at Kuroba with a blush rising in her eyes, and after a long while, she nodded slightly.

"I really lose to you, you're always thinking about such nonsense."

"Isn't that because my senior loves me..."

Kuroba smiled faintly.

When he felt that warm touch enveloping him, Kuroba couldn't help but gasp.

I felt surrounded by warmth, with soft touches all around me.

I wonder if I'll have another chance to experience this after tomorrow.

Let me be unrestrained just this once, Rias-senpai...

Chapter 42 Pre-Match Preparations (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

After the ceremony to reward Kuroba ended in the middle of the night, Rias disappeared.

It's said that they were discussing plans with Senior Zhu Nai for tomorrow's competition.

Asia was also pulled away by Rias, who said that even if it was just a last-minute effort, she wanted to know just how powerful Asia's outburst was.

So, in the end, only Kuroba was lying alone on the bed in the entire room.

Kuroba rested one hand on his forehead, staring intently at the ceiling, his mind completely blank.

And so, as time passed, bursts of blinding white light shone on Kuroba's face, bringing him back to his senses.

"It's dawn... This day has finally come."

On this day, Kuroba asked for leave from school.

Until the start of the match, he didn't want to go anywhere. He just lay quietly on the bed, breathing in Rias's faint fragrance.

The scent made him feel relaxed, even though his actions resembled those of a pervert.

However, Kuroba didn't have any strange thoughts in his heart.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

It's late at night, 11 p.m.

The match was scheduled to start at 12 o'clock, but Kuroba arrived at the club an hour early.

Unsurprisingly, everyone except him had arrived.

Apart from Asia, who was wearing her distinctive nun's habit, everyone else was wearing school uniforms. This wasn't surprising, since they didn't have any special combat suits.

Yuhime was wearing armor, and a dark magic sword stood silently beside her.

Meanwhile, the kitten was wearing brass knuckles on both hands. For some reason, these weapons looked perfectly natural on such a petite girl as the kitten, which made Kuroba sigh. Sometimes, habits can be really scary.

He's actually accepted the kitten's incredible strength.

As for Akeno and Rias, they calmly sat on the sofa, sipping their tea.

Rias only managed a smile when she saw Kuroba appear.

"Ready to adjust?"

"Hmm... I guess so. I'm still a little nervous, after all, it's my first competition."

Rias got up and slowly walked to Kuroba's side, throwing herself into his arms.

"Don't be nervous... Just be yourself. Didn't you say you were the strongest soldier under my command?"

Seeing Rias's sweet smile, Kuroba felt much more relaxed.

"Oh!! Of course, watch me beat them to a pulp!"

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

A magic circle appeared in front of everyone.

Rias took a deep breath and looked at everyone.

"Alright, my lovely family members, it's time for our first match."

As everyone stepped inside, Kuroba felt a flash of light.

And then, that was it?

Kuroba looked at the familiar background in front of him.

Aren't we still in the club?

Just as Kuroba was wondering.

An announcement came over the school's public address system.

"Gentlemen, I am Grefia, a servant of the Gremory family. I will be the referee for this 'Ranking Game' between the Gremory and Phoenix families. This match will be broadcast live by both the Gremory and Phoenix families, and even Lord Lucifer, the Demon King, will be watching."

The battle arena for this event is a replica of the human school 'Koh Academy' prepared in another dimension, based on the suggestions of the two participating adults. Both sides are encouraged to fight without restraint, as this space is a one-time use space and damage is not a concern.

So, this space is fake, right? It's a copy?

Kuroba wasn't too surprised. After all, he was a demon; surely he could manage to do that?

The only difference is that it's nighttime in reality, but Kuroba can now see the blinding sunlight.

"The current locations of both sides are their headquarters. Lady Rias's headquarters is the office of the Mysticism Research Club in the old school building, while Lady Raiza's headquarters is the Student Council office. If soldiers on both sides wish to advance, please go to the vicinity of the other side's headquarters."

Upon hearing this, Kuroba fell into deep thought.

I am a soldier.

If I want to level up and gain power, do I need to go to the vicinity of the student council office in the new school building?

No, the most important thing now is whether I can truly control the two forces within my body. If I can, Kuroba still doesn't want to rely on the Crimson Dragon Emperor to complete the match.

After all, no one would complain about having too long a life and not want to live anymore, right?

Moreover, the enemy outnumbers our side by more than double. If the enemy soldiers manage to break through our encirclement, we will face an attack from at least eight queens. Who can withstand that?

At this moment, Senior Sister Zhu Nai spread out her hands, revealing several headsets.

"With this, we can communicate in this space."

As everyone put on their headsets, Greta officially announced the start of the competition.

"Ding dong!"

They're actually using the school bell as a signal...

Kuroba clenched his fist and looked at Rias, who was preparing to deploy.

"Rias-senpai, can you listen to me...?"

Rias paused for a moment, then put down the map she had prepared and looked at Kuroba.

"I'd like to ask you first, senior, is it safe to use the power within me?"

Rias was slightly taken aback.

The power within Kuroba's body.

Are you referring to that angelic magic?

"Of course you can, this is your own power."

Rias smiled slightly, quietly watching Kuroba, waiting for her to continue.

"Is that so... That's good. Well then, Rias-senpai, please let me play forward. Although I don't really understand the rules of this game, I do know one thing: we just need to knock Raiza out of the game, right?"

Rias didn't speak, but Akeno chuckled instead.

"Kuroba, don't be too anxious. Ranking games aren't something that can be resolved in a short time. Since there's a six-hour time limit, unless you have overwhelming combat power, it's usually a protracted battle. Besides, we're the weaker side in terms of numbers, you know?"

"That's why I want everyone except me to hold their ground and let me draw all their attention. This place should be able to fly, right? Although it will be very eye-catching, that's the effect I want. If Rias-senpai allows me to use the power within me, I think I can do it."

Akeno wanted to say something more, but Rias stopped her.

She slowly walked to the sofa and patted her legs.
