I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

"I just gave a general idea, but didn't go into detail."

"what?"

Although still held in the boy's arms, Rias turned her head to look at a cat-eared girl with long black hair beside her.

"Didn't you come here to see Fogui a long time ago? Why didn't you tell Fogui directly?"

"forget."

Hei Ge raised his head and played a game in which he was not justified but was still strong.

"It can only be summed up in three sentences anyway. It's the same thing if you come over here, Rias."

"Can I forget this..."

Rias had no choice but to repeat herself.

"First, there's the issue of Genkami Island's ownership that needs to be resolved. Second, there's the merger of Juou Academy and Saikai Academy. Finally, there's the construction of the new house... and the latter two can only proceed after the first is resolved."

"It's a matter of ownership... I understand. Just leave it to me."

Huakaiyuan Fogui took on the job without hesitation.

After all, it was the Hanakaiin family who acted on their behalf. As a family of Onmyoji with a thousand-year heritage, they were very experienced in negotiating with the powerful.

Of course, the main reason is that for thousands of years, the Onmyoji family and the imperial family, including the current Japanese cabinet, have had a relationship similar to that of a conjugated father and son.

If the Onmyoji family of that generation was extremely powerful, then the head of the family would be able to slam the table and challenge the emperor.

—Miyakoto, do you think that gold and silver will automatically flow into my treasury? Or would you rather let those useless warriors under your command protect you?

But on the other hand, if the Onmyoji family of that generation is relatively weak, then the head of the family can only show as much loyalty as possible in exchange for funds to keep the family running stably.

This is also why the Japanese government is now working hard to set up a school of magic.

After all, most of those who can enter are still immature children. If they are brainwashed a little, they will be easier to control than those hard-core Onmyojis.

Especially the latter usually need to be coaxed with real money, and some even cannot be coaxed no matter how much money is given...

But this is all beside the point.

At least for Hanakaiin Fukui, the fact that he could inform the Japanese Emperor and the cabinet elders was already considered to be very "benevolent".

"Then I'll leave the negotiation with the Japanese cabinet to you, Fogui."

Rias pursed her lips and smiled with blushing cheeks.

"Then Akeno and I will go to Tokyo first. We have some things to take care of back at the old school building. Fogui, you can come too after you're done with yours. If it's just us... it might be a little troublesome."

"Trouble? What do you want to deal with?"

A capital question mark appeared above the head of the Buddha in Huakaiyuan.

Rias hummed softly, "Because we need to move, we need to take a lot of things with us first. And then there's that sealed storage room that I mentioned to you before..."

"Oh--"

I kind of remembered Huakaiyuan Buddhist Temple. There was such a place in the old school building.

It was a sealed room.

"Got it. After I finish this, I'll go find Rias and the others..."

Before he could finish his words, a teleportation magic circle suddenly appeared above everyone's heads, and a small girl's figure rushed out of it and threw herself into the boy's arms.

"Where are we going? Nagisa wants to go too!"

Chapter 401: Catching a Gaspar

"Nagisa?!"

Hanakaiin Fukui really didn't expect that Akane Nagisa would suddenly appear at this time.

One of the main reasons was that he was still holding Rias in his arms, so he was forced to free up one hand first, and then turn sideways to catch the falling Nagisa Akatsuki.

This time he caught it, but a new problem arose, which was... his current situation was that he was surrounded by women on both sides.

As expected, the next second after Hanakaiin Fukui caught Akatsuki Nagisa, the seemingly calm voice of the red-haired girl beside him was heard.

"Fogui, what's up with this girl who calls you 'big brother'?"

Uh……

Hanakaiin Fukui was still thinking about what to say, but Akane Nagisa had already spoken and started explaining.

"Ah, hello, big red-haired sister, my name is Nagisa Akatsuki, and I'm big brother's... um..."

Having said this, Nagisa Akatsuki paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then tilted her head tentatively.

"Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call him guardian?"

"Guardian?"

Rias raised one eyebrow slightly.

Generally speaking, the relationship between guardian and ward usually occurs between parents and children, but the girl in front of him definitely cannot be Fogui's daughter.

As for his sister, that was also unlikely. Fogui had mentioned to them before that his sister was still living in Kyoto, and described her as having a "cold personality". It was impossible for him to approach her in such a familiar way.

Then there is only one possibility.

"After all, I am the Fourth True Ancestor."

In the red-haired girl's gaze, which had already noticed something, Nagisa Akatsuki tilted her head with a smile, and revealed her identity, which she had never actively admitted to in front of outsiders before.

"……I see."

Rias nodded slightly to show that she understood.

So this girl is the legendary true ancestor of vampires? But looking at the appearance of this energetic girl and her immature body that has not yet fully developed, well... she shouldn't be the type that Fogui likes, right?

After all, the child looks a little smaller than a kitten.

Rias's eyes quickly swept over her chest and the chests of Akeno Naruse Mio and the others, then she relaxed her guard slightly and adopted a more kind tone.

"Nagisa...I can call you that. My sisters and big brother are going out to do something, so we might have to leave Genkami Island..."

"Then I'll go too!"

Nagisa Akatsuki immediately hugged the boy's neck tightly with both hands.

Rias: “…”

It seems that she relaxed her guard a little too early, right? Although it is unlikely that Fogui would be interested in such a young girl, it seems that it is not the pig that is trying to push the cabbage, but the cabbage that is charging towards the pig!

No, it seems a bit too much to say that about my boyfriend.

but……

"OK then."

After thinking for a moment, Rias unexpectedly agreed.

She didn't explain why, but just turned her gaze to the boy next to her.

"Then, Buddha, you should take Nagisa with you. We will wait for you at the old school building. After you finish your business, come and meet us."

"understood."

……

The scene changed, and it was about ten minutes later.

In Tokyo, Japan, it is still summer vacation at Kuo College.

In the morning sunlight, with a flash of golden light in the air, Hanakaiin Bokui and Akatsuki Nagisa appeared in front of the main gate of the old school building.

"Okay, we're here."

As soon as the feeling of being grounded came from under his feet, Huakaiyuan Fogui spoke.

Nagisa Akatsuki, who was counting down with her eyes closed and his arm around her shoulders, hummed and slowly opened her eyes. What came into view was a single-family wooden two-story villa that looked somewhat similar to the Sakurasou in the light novel, also a little old but with a very elegant style.

"Hey~ So this is where big brother goes to school. I didn't expect to get there so soon."

"No, it's just a place for club activities."

Huakaiyuan Buddhist Gui explained.

"Alright, Rias and the others should already be inside, we should be in soon..."

wow-

Before he could finish his words, the main door of the old school building, which had been tightly closed, was suddenly opened from the inside. Akeno, still wearing an apron, appeared at the door with a broom and dustpan in one hand.

She looked up and was slightly stunned to see Hanakaiin Fukui and Akane Nagisa appearing outside the door.

"Ala, Fogui, you guys actually came so soon? Has the ownership of Xianshen Island been resolved?"

"Of course, I told you to leave it to me, and it's not a big deal."

Huakaiyuan Fogui shrugged.

"Of course, it was just a coincidence today. When Nagisa and I arrived at the National Diet building just now, they were in a meeting. I was able to urgently add an item to their morning agenda, and it was passed unanimously by a temporary vote."

"With the witness of Mount Fuji Pass."

Nagisa Akatsuki beside him added at the right moment.

Himejima Akeno imagined the scene for a moment, and couldn't help but exclaim, waving the broom and dustpan in her hand.

"Then wait a moment, Buddha. I'll go take out the trash and be back."

"Oh...wait, Akeno, are you cleaning?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui nodded subconsciously and then asked curiously.

At this time, Himejima Akeno had already gone to the public trash can on the roadside outside the old school building. After pouring all the garbage in the dustpan into it, as if she was afraid that it was not empty enough, she tapped the edge twice more, turned her head and said.

"Rias said she's become attached to the old school building after living there for so long, and she plans to take it with her when she moves. So, we'll start cleaning it now, and we'll have to mop the floor later."

? ?

Huakaiyuan Fogui raised two question marks.

He vaguely remembered that Venelana had said something similar before, saying that he wanted to take his apartment in Tokyo with him and then use it as a module in the new house like building blocks.

So that means that by then the new house will not only have apartments, but also the old school building...

Is this something that can be directly spliced ​​together?

Never mind, we’ll know when the time comes.

Without dwelling on this issue too much, after waiting for Akeno to take out the garbage, Hanakaiin Fukui took Nagisa into the old school building.

When they walked through the corridor and arrived at the door of the legendary "sealed utility room" at the end of the corridor on the first floor, Rias had already removed the seal on the door. The sounds of Kuroka and Shirone cleaning could be heard from the second floor above their heads.

The red-haired girl turned around and saw Fogui and others coming, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Buddha, you are here. This is the place."

"…So what's the problem here?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui looked up and down at this storage room that had been sealed.

To be honest, he didn't know much about the old school building. After all, unlike Rias and the others, he had never lived in the old school building before and had only been to the second floor a few times.

As for this sealed storage room, although he had heard Rias talk about it before, he had never been one to get to the bottom of things. Since Rias said not to go in, he wouldn't go in. At most, he would just treat it as a mysterious urban legend.

"Inside here..."

Rias hesitated, holding her chin.

"Honestly, it's a little hard to explain in words. When you go in later, you might encounter things like time warping, and you might find that some things have suddenly changed positions. It's not dangerous, though..."

"Then I'm going in."

After hearing this description, Huakaiyuan Fugui couldn't imagine the scene at all, so he just pushed the door open and walked in.

Then the door of the utility room opened and closed again, and Rias and Akeno who were left outside the door looked at each other.

"I wonder how long it will take for Buddha to come out..."

Rias sighed softly.

Himejima Akeno also shook her head with a headache: "Well, after all, that child's ability is indeed quite troublesome..."
