I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

"That's not the case. I just finished training with the school club and was about to go home, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation on the way."

Busujima Saeko took a sip of the mushroom soup with a spoon, put down the spoon and said.

"Come to think of it, I heard him mention the 'Holy Sword' before. Is that your goal?"

After she finished speaking, she calmly observed the expressions of the two girls in white robes sitting opposite her.

Even though the other party claimed to be an acquaintance of Huakaiyuan's junior, she herself was not very familiar with Huakaiyuan Fogui, let alone someone who only claimed to be an acquaintance of Huakaiyuan's junior?

When you are out, it is always a good idea to be more careful.

"Well, that's about right."

Irina and Xenovia looked at each other secretly, exchanged glances, and spoke again.

"That guy is a traitor to our Vatican Church. The gang he belongs to stole things from our church. The purpose of our trip is to get those things back."

"Is that the 'holy sword'?"

"Yes, Miss Busujima, have you ever seen anyone who looks like a clergyman armed with cold weapons before?"

"……No."

Busujima Saeko recalled carefully, then shook her head.

It was indeed impossible for her to have seen him. The Spell Association was short of manpower due to various curse incidents. Most of the sorcerers were either chopping curses or on their way to chop curses every day. They had no time to pay attention to the whereabouts of any clergy.

"Is that so? That can't be helped."

Irina didn't get the answer she wanted, but she was only depressed for a moment before she recovered and a smile appeared on her lovely face again.

"Forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, how did Miss Busujima get to know Buddha Gui?"

"Hey, me?"

Busujima Saeko stopped eating.

"My words were probably something like, 'He saved my life during a mission...'"

"Ah~ Another hero-saving-beauty plot."

Irina was busy cutting steak, and she curled her lips helplessly when she heard this.

"But it's true, that guy does this kind of thing all the time, from when he was little to when he was little."

"Hahaha, really."

Busujima Saeko smiled slightly, looking at the orange-haired girl with twin tails in front of her, who seemed to have perfectly entered the role of "Hanakaiin Butsuki's childhood sweetheart", and she didn't ask any more questions.

It seems that we can't get much more information out of it.

"What are your plans after dinner?"

"Hmm~ Logically speaking, if the work isn't finished yet, we should continue working. But considering that our previous encounter alarmed him, I guess searching all night won't yield any results. So after dinner, maybe we'll just go around here and take a look around, maybe at an art exhibition or something?"

"Art exhibition... huh? I don't know much about it, and there's an art exhibition nearby, but I still don't recommend going."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because I heard there are a lot of shoddy fake paintings being sold there."

"Is that so? Well, forget it then."

……

The scene changed to Sumida District, at the top of the Tokyo Skytree, 634 meters above the ground. Two figures, one old and one young, appeared in this familiar place, overlooking the brightly lit bustling city below.

A handsome young man with silver hair in a black suit put his hands in his pockets and looked at the middle-aged man in kimono sitting on the edge of the platform in front of him and spoke calmly. The air currents in the sky made the decorative chains around his legs jingle.

"Azazel, why did you suddenly call me to Tokyo and arrange to meet in a place like this?"

Hearing the young man's voice behind him, the middle-aged man in kimono called "Acesale" smiled nonchalantly, turned his head and revealed a face that looked a little old due to age, but his handsome appearance in his youth could be vaguely seen from his regular features.

"Hey, long time no see, Wally."

It is worth mentioning that although the middle-aged man's entire back of the head, including the top of the head, is dark brown in hair when viewed from behind, the hair on the forehead is fashionablely highlighted in golden yellow, giving people the impression that he is an old biker who had a lot of fun when he was young.

Then he took out a wine jug and a wine cup from somewhere and raised them towards the silver-haired young man not far behind him.

"Well, do you want to have a drink?"

"In a place like this? Forget it."

A hint of disgust was clearly revealed on Wally's stern face.

"So if you have something to say, tell me now. If not, I'm leaving."

"Well, don't be so impatient."

Azazel put down the wine jug and cup, pressed down in the air with both hands, and smiled soothingly.

"Actually, I called you here for two main reasons. The first is about one of my former subordinates, but Kabil seems to be trying to do something. It's not convenient for me to intervene, so I figured I'd leave it to you to handle when the time comes."

"Your own subordinates are not convenient for you to show up?" Wally frowned.

"Sodayo~"

Azazel turned his face back to look at the night view of the city below.

"I roughly know what he's up to. He's trying to reignite the conflict between the Celestial Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Fallen Angels, and restart that great war. If I, as the Governor of the Fallen Angels, intervene in this matter, I'll not only be seen as weak, but also as incompetent. I might even be impeached from my position as Governor."

"And if I were really impeached and a new governor were to take over, who knows, the next governor might be a warmongerer again. I've put a lot of thought into maintaining the current situation."

"So in order to avoid this from happening, I can only pretend that I know nothing. This is the best outcome."

"……boring."

After a brief silence of two seconds, the silver-haired young man gave his evaluation, but did not directly refuse.

"So what's the other thing?"

"If there's one more thing—"

Azazel paused deliberately to keep the question in suspense, then turned around and smiled slightly.

"That red guy you were looking for, Wally, seems to have finally appeared, and he's in this city."

"Oh?"

……

At the same time, in a high-end apartment building in the central district, a young man who had finished dinner and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, playing a horror game and chocolate and vanilla at the same time, suddenly sneezed violently.

His abdominal muscles suddenly contracted without warning, and the battering ram broke through the main gate of the Children's Palace.

Amid the girl's exclamation, a powerful water arrow shot out over the coffee table in front and accurately splashed onto the newly purchased TV.

"Shit, get some paper... No, turn off the power first!"

At the same time that the black cat girl lay on the sofa, trembling and tense as if she had been electrocuted, in the bedroom on the second floor of the old school building of Juwang Academy, the petite girl with short white hair and cat ears finally reached her peak in her rapid breathing.

The Tacheng kitten lay horizontally on the bed, with its snow-white ears popping out uncontrollably and its two tails tangled together like snakes.

She maintained this posture for five or six seconds before she gradually relaxed.

With the soft light from the bedside, the white-haired girl raised her hand with a slightly red face, and it was clear that her fingertips were full of crystals.

Why... now whenever I think of Senior Fogui, I...

Baiyin...it's going to get weird...

Chapter 84 Did I come at the wrong time?

The next day, afternoon.

Inside the Occult Research Society.

"We're coming... huh?"

As usual, Hanakaiin Bokugui went to the old school building with Asia after the second class in the afternoon. However, as soon as he entered the living room, he realized that the atmosphere seemed a little strange.

I saw a red-haired girl sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, her eyes fixed on me.

Although Rias usually spent a lot of time looking at him, it could basically be called a "loving gaze".

But today was obviously different. Not only did Rias look serious, but there was even a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Why are you so serious today?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He quickly walked over to the red-haired girl and sat down next to her, put one arm around her shoulders, and with the other hand stretched out his fingertips to gently poke the latter's cheek.

Well……

The intimate touch on her cheek instantly broke Rias's composure. She narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to press down the guy's claws.

"Now, I have a question for you, and you must answer me truthfully."

"Just ask."

The young man nodded slightly, very calmly.

Rias bit her lip lightly, and after briefly gathering her emotions, she spoke.

"After returning home last night, you didn't do anything with those two holy sword users of the church, did you?"

"Oh Rias, you mean Irina and the others? No, what's wrong?"

"Well, it's nothing. If not, then it's fine."

The red-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a reassuring answer from the boy.

?

Huakaiyuan Fogui slowly typed a question mark.

Before he could figure out what was going on, Himejima Akeno, who had just gone upstairs to change her school uniform into casual home clothes, came down from the living room. Seeing the two people huddled together on the sofa in the living room, she couldn't help but smile softly.

"Actually, Rias is worried that you and the Church's members might be discovered by someone with ulterior motives. According to what those two Holy Swordsmen said yesterday, it was the Fallen Angels who stole the Church's Holy Sword. And since you and Rias are already connected, if they were caught at this critical juncture when all three parties are in dire need of some rest, they might even say that the Gremory family is colluding with the Church to target the Fallen Angels."

"Although Rias and the Gremory family haven't been harmed by those people because of Sirzechs-sama's relationship, they will most likely unite to target you, Fugui."

"After all, the last time you went to the demon world, you practically humiliated quite a few of them."

Oh, this probably refers to the scene at the banquet where he held Raisa's neck and urged those who opposed the dissolution of the engagement to speak out...

"Targeting me? They must be so bold."

The boy picked his ears.

"If they really dare to come, I wouldn't mind giving them a chance to seal me back in the mortal realm. Although I think they'll probably be timid, just like the unruly people in those poor and remote areas in the past."

"Hahaha, that's true."

Amused by the former's description, Himejima Akeno chuckled and sat down on the other side. Ignoring her friend's protesting gaze, she moved closer and hugged the boy's arms deep into the valley, closing the distance between them. Her voice also became sexy and hoarse.

"So, is Buddha Gui free this weekend? Akeno thinks it's time to confirm our relationship."

"Akeno you...!"

Rias' eyes widened.

After all, she is still a minister, the successor to the Gremory family, and the "King" of her followers.

Although her side does not have a strict hierarchy like other higher-level demon families in the demon world, the relationships between the followers are more like friends than superiors and subordinates.

But... even if we are good friends, we shouldn't be so upset!

"Ala, is the minister going to go back on his word?"

Himejima Akeno narrowed her eyes, smiled, and stroked her cheek with her hand.

"Since there are no outsiders here, why don't you be honest? Didn't the Minister say before that he didn't mind my relationship with Fogui, or was Fogui lying?"

"Wait, what do you mean by no outsiders..."

Rias was caught off guard by this combination of punches. Akeno asked questions one after another. She was embarrassed to admit that she had said that, but she couldn't deny that she had never said that.

In her panic, she accidentally glanced at Asia who was sitting on the sofa opposite her. The words that came out of her mouth made the blonde nun stand up instantly, and she clenched her white fists as if she had made up her mind.

"No, it's okay. If Mr. Fogui doesn't mind, Asia can become an insider. That way, she won't be an outsider anymore!"

"Eh? Even Asia-chan..."

The red-haired girl's face was filled with shock.
