“Hm…”

  *k*

  “Here you go, pres.”

  “Ah, thank you, Akeno.”

  The sound of the ceramic pte hitting against her mahogany wood desk brought Rias out of her daze.

  Before she k, there was a steaming cup of darjeeling tea her queen had prepared before her. She hadn’t even realized Akeno’s approatil she pced it down on her desk.

  “Hah…”

  A deep sigh escaped her lips after taking a sip of her tea.

  “You seemed tired. How about resting for a while?”

  Rias shook her head to Akeno’s thoughtful suggestion.

  “I ’t. I o keep a wat her. I o catch a glimpse of her ability and the “group of people” she’s associated with.”

  Rias had spent her eernoon watg Aika through her familiar. After the breakdown iiations and failing to persuade her iering her peerage, Rias o find out her abilities and information on the “group” behio make sure she would not pose a threat to her, her peerage, and the city she was in charge of.

  But instead, she felt increasingly vexed as she tio observe the woman named Aika.

  Born with immense beauty and status as a high-ranking devil, the princess of the Gremory ducal household, and the little sister of the stro devil in the underworld, Rias took pride in her self worth as one of, if not, the most beautiful, powerful, and iial young devil.

  She had always been revered for her beauty and received tless cs from male humans and devils alike.

  But now… she found someoh beauty that surpassed even her.

  Naturally, she rejected the thought at first. She vinced herself that she was simply surprised to see someone as beautiful as herself all of a sudden.

  But… those denial slowly turned into vexation and envy as she tio observe Aika.

  With nothing special happening around her, Rias’s attention naturally focused on her dazzling appearanbsp;

  At first, she simply admired Aika’s beauty and even plimented her for having a beauty on par with herself. But as she tio observe her, she began notig some things that Aika was better in than her.

  Her skin was unblemished aiful, even more so than any female devils she kneere supposed to embody devilish beauty. Her eyes were bewitg, and her lips, nose, and ears were all so perfectly shaped.

  Aika’s waist seemed to also be slimmer and more athletic than her. Even her breasts and hips, that Rias was so proud of, lost in all aspects; size, shape, aicity.

  It was as if she was created to be the embodiment of absolute beauty.

  Someone who’d elicit envy even from the most beautiful women in all realms… That is what Rias came to a clusion about Aika after her all afternoon.

  Well, there’s no use being upset over this… Since she deed my invitation to bee a half devil, her beauty will soon disappear with age.

  Rias thought, ving and calming herself with such belief without knowing that Aika would obtain an SSR that would make her even more beautiful aernal than a devil like her.

  With such thoughts, Rias was able to curb away her envy aion and resumed Aika through her familiar.

  And just then, she noticed something.

  “Akeno, gather everyone here as soon as possible.”

  “Eh? But they’ve all just gone bae… Did something happen?”

  “Yes… There’s a fallen aalking her.”

  Akeno’s eyes widened in shock. Anger, despair, frustration, and hatred filled her eyes as traumatic memories of her mother’s death fshed through her mind. But she quickly calmed herself and did as Rias ordered.

  “Uood.”

  Rias began to watch Aika and the fallen aalking her more closely as Akeno tacted Koneko, Kiba, and Issei.

  The fallen angel following her wasn’t the female fallen that killed Issei. It was a male fallen, the ohat had also attacked Issei a few nights ago.

  He was closing in slowly, and Aika didn’t seem to notice him. If she was a regur person, then Rias would’ve immediately assumed that she didn’t notice the fallen angel, who was most likely cealing his presenbsp;

  But Rias khat Aika was familiar with the supernatural, and seemed to be a fairly strong sacred gear user. So, her ck of rea was most likely an absp;

  The fallen angel didn’t seem to notice it, however, and tio approach her with a voracious and lustful expression.

  Rias tio watch, w if she could finally catch a glimpse of Aika’s ability. But when he was finally only a few meters away from Aika, she quickly shook her head.

  No, this is wrong!

  No matter how envious she was of her or how much she wao know about her skills, Rias couldn’t simply watch as a student of her school was attacked by a fallen angel.

  She o go now.

  “Akeno! We’re going now!”

  “Did they attack her?!”

  “They’re about to!”

  Akeno quickly jured up a magic circle as Rias quickly made her way to her queen’s side while still watg Aika through her familiar’s vision.

  But all of a sudden, her e with her familiar was cut and the teleportation magic circle shattered.

  “Eh?! What’s going on?!”

  “Pres, could they perhaps erected a barrier?”

  Rias bit her thumb nail in frustration and shook her head.

  “No… My e with my family didn’t cut off even when he had already erected a barrier. And that kind of barrier wouldn’t be powerful enough to cel your teleportation.”

  “That’s true… Then, what should we do?”

  Just then, the door smmed open and Kiba, Koneko, and an exhausted Issei came barging in.

  “President! Is it an emergency?”

  Kiba asked with urgency.

  “Kiryuu Aika is being targeted by a fallen. Akeno’s teleportation magic failed and my e with my familiar is cut off.”

  Rias ched her teeth as numerous questions filled her mind.

  Just what happened? Who did it? And how was Aika’s situatiht now?

  “We o go there by foot! Hurry!”

  ““Yes!””

  “E-Eh?! By foot?! But I just ran- Ah, please wait for me!!!”

  Rias led her peerage to the road she st saw Aika in, running as fast as they could with Issei gging behind.

  Naturally, the figures of the two of three greatest beauties of Kuoh, the blonde-haired prince, and the adorable mascot of Kuoh, and one of the infamous perverted trio running through the school grounds attracted a lot of attention.

  But such a thing didn’t matter to them at the moment. They could simply erase the students’ memories about this ter on if it proved to be a problem for them. Right now, their main priority is to arrive at the se and, if they’re not too te, save Aika from danger.

  They quickly arrived at the se, and every single one of them stopped and froze in pbsp;

  There’s no battle. No… There was a battle, as evident from the devastated road, impact marks, aroyed asphalt. Bloody bck ravehers, blood sptters, and obvious signs of battle were numerous. But there was no… body.

  And to their surprise, all the blood here belonged not to a human as they expected, but a fallen.

  “What… What’s going on…”

  Rias slowly took a step forward, followed by the rest of her peerage, as she looked around baffled.

  “Pres, that…”

  Rias turned her gaze towards the dire Akeno poi, and saw an especially massive crater with more blood seeped within its cracks than anywhere else.

  They all approached it and saw even more bck feathers in it.

  “Could it be… Did Aika-san do all of this…?”

  Akeno muttered in disbelief.

  “Such destru… I don’t feel much magi her this m. And sidering her physical prowess… She must have surpassed the realm of normal humans by far physically.”

  Rias reasoned.

  “E-Eh? T-That K-Kiryuu Aika did this…?!”

  “sidering she threw me before I eve, I think it’s a fair assumption.”

  “Mm.”

  Koneko o Kiba’s words as Issei still looked at the se in disbelief.

  He still couldn’t imagine how such a lithe and frail-lookiy like Kiryuu Aika could create such devastation…?

  “...Akeno, please call Aika-san again tomorrow. We’ll need some answers.”

  “Yes, pres.”

  --------------------------------X--------------------------------

  [Aika-, be careful~ You are currently being watched by two devils.]

  The alluring, melodic voice of a mature woman resounded within Aika’s mind. Uhe inal [Great Sage], who sounded more robotid younger, Aika had made it so that she sounded more mature ao her prefere was a way for her to fulfill her desire to have an older sister as an only child.

  Ah… I se too, [Great Sage]. They must’ve noticed my frontation with that fallen, huh?

  With her keen senses in addition to the absolutely broken skill she got from Tatsuya’s world, “Elemental Sight”, Aika could clearly sense Rias and Akeno watg her from the old school building the moment she ehe school premise even without her Great Sage’s help.

  She preteo ighem and tinued making her way ihe school. It was a bit unnerving, but at least, the ones watg her were beautiful girls.

  [Ufufufu~ They’re extremely shocked right now because you are emitting such immense magic power.]

  Eh? Immense magic power?

  [That’s right~ The reward you received from pleting your mission, specifically your Immense Psion t, has been turned into Immense Magic Power.]

  I see… Well, I would’ve liked to ceal it, but it ’t be helped now.

  [Don’t worry~ I’ve cealed 70% of yic power.]

  Really? Thank you, nee-san!

  Aika let out a sigh of relief inwardly. She didn’t want to emit her full magic power sihey might sider it an act of threat. It would be a different case if Rias, Sona, and the devils in this school were btantly showing their hostility towards her. But sihey have enough tact to hide their magic power while peeking on someohey should have no iion of being hostile towards her.

  [No~ Ufufufu~ They are not cealing their magic.]

  Aika’s eyes widened ever so slightly, trying her best to appear normal while keeping her surprise internal.

  Eh? S-Seriously? Aren’t they supposed to be high-ranking devils? Hey, Sage-neesan, are you sure you’re right?

  [Geez, how could you doubt me~ Have I ever been wrong~?]

  Well… No, but… Nee-san, are they trying to be hostile to me?

  [No. I sense no hostility ing from them.]

  Then why…? Ah, is it because they’ve rained seriously?

  Aika recalled in the ahat Rias’s peerage never went through rigorous training. They were simply living life like regur humans, aside from their occasional tract fulfillment duties. Other than that, they’ve ruly tried to improve themselves in such a dangerous world.

  I guess it’s because she believes no one would touch her with Lucifer as her brother.

  She sighed inwardly. Now that she had grown and experienced more stuff reted to the supernatural, the crimson-haired princess of destru now looked more like a spoiled princess.

  Why wasn’t she training her best if she really hated the e her father set with the Phenex family? Why was she wasting time being a student and casually trying to find a talent that would e to this remote school? It was as if she’s betting everything on finding a diamond in the rough that could help her. If it wasn’t for plot armor, then she might very well be looking for her wedding dress now.

  Aika thought it might be pretty o have her as her future sister in Yuuji’s harem. But now… She didn’t want Yuuji to have to deal with a spoiled princess who only be a damsel in distress.

  Hm… Nee-san, what do you think of Akeno?

  [If you meant it as her being a didate to bee Yuuji-kun’s future wife, then I believe she is better than Rias.]

  Yeah, I think so too…

  Unlike Rias, Akeno had more drive to bee strohe reason why she’s not training as much as she could was because Rias was holding her back. Moreover, she also couldn’t utilize her full strength due to her hatred towards her father.

  Ohat hatred is resolved and she’s free from her shackles, then she could easily bee a powerhouse in the supernatural world.

  Also, isn’t she a shrine maiden~? Ufufufu~ It would be fun to role py with her being a shrine maiden~

  [Ara ara~ Ufufufu~ You’re such a naughty girl, Aika-~]

  Aika giggled inwardly. There’s no use w over them sihey’ll call her again to talk about her enter with the falleerday”, so she simply made her way to her css.

  Csses passed by quickly. With the help of [Great Sage], her academic capabilities have skyrocketed to the top. Even without having to pay attention, she could simply ask [Great Sage] to help her duris and she’ll get a perfect score.

  So, instead of paying attention to css, she browsed the Chat Group Store to see what kind of iing stuff was there to past time.

  Soon, lunch break came, and as she expected, Akeno came to her css to call her again.

  “Aika-san~ May I have a bit of your time after school~?”

  “U-Uwoooh! Akeno-senpai is here again!”

  “How lucky! Seeing two sexy beauties at the same time gives me energy to gh the rest of the day!”

  “...”

  Two of the three Trio Perverts immediately made a se with their remarks. While the oher member of their trio couldn’t help but feel nervous since she knew what the president wao talk about with her. He could still remember the bloody se from yesterday, and even until now, he couldn’t believe that Kiryuu Aika caused it.

  “Eh? Uhm… May I know the reason? I’m sorry to say this, but my decision hasn’t ged sihe st time we talked.”

  Aika feigned ignorance, which Akeno was well aware of. But even then, Akeno still kept a friendly smile.

  “I uand. But the president wishes to talk to you about another matter. So will you please e by to our club room after school?”

  “...I uand.”

  “Thank you very much~ Then, I will look forward to this afternoon~”

  “Yes. See you soon, senpai.”

  Ake after giving Aika a beautiful, wide smile, and Aika immediately tacted Yuuji to tell him what’s going on as she made her way to the cafeteria with her friends.

  “Ah! Oi Aika, how you message your boyfriend while you’re with us? Are y to make us jealous?!”

  Katase pined with a pout. Here she was fantasizing about her boyfriend and using the selfies Aika gave her as her “side dish” for her nightly “exercise”, while Aika could have her all to herself whenever she wants. How could she funt her boyfriend while they’re here!

  “I’m not~ I just wao tell him that I’ll probably go home te today.”

  “E-Eh?! A-Are you living with him?!”

  Murayama excimed in shock. They’re still in highschool, so how could she already move in with her boyfriend?!

  But then, she recalled that her boyfriend was also rich. So could it be that… he had already bought a house for them to live together?!

  “No I’m not. I just had a promise with him this afternoon. But since I’m called by Gremory-senpai and Himejima-senpai, then we’ll have to postpo until tonight.”

  “T-T-Tonight…? W-What are you going to do?”

  A myriad of dirty thoughts fshed across their minds. After all, if they were his girlfriend, then they would definitely spend every sed of their free time with him to be lovey dovey and do dirty things with each other.

  And seeing their reas, Aika couldn’t help but smile teasingly and winked.

  “That’s a secret~”

  ““!!!””

  The two kendo girls froze as their faces turned red in an instant.

  Well, I’ll just be chatting with Yuuji all night, but they fantasize about me being railed by him too~

  She giggled inwardly and tio make her way to the cafeteria, leaving the two frozen until they caught up with her.

  They’re both silent now, fantasizing about the kind of things Aika would be doing with her boyfriend tonight. And while they did that, Aika sent a message to Yuuji.

  Kiryuu Aika: “Hey, Yuuji~! What are you doing~?”

  Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Hm? I’m at home now. I just fialking to my family about the Chat Group.”

  Kiryuu Aika: “Oh? How did they take it?”

  Tsubakihara Yuuji: “They were shocked, for sure. But they have no choice but to believe it since I gave Mira the Potion of Eternal Beauty. She became even more beautiful ht, so they had no choice but to believe.”

  Kiryuu Aika: “Oh really~ Send me a pic!!! I want to see what my future mother-in-w / sister looks like~”

  Tsubakihara Yuuji: “...I’ll send it to you ter. Anyway, what’s up? sidering the time… You should be in school nht?”

  Kiryuu Aika: “Uhn! It’s lunch right now. And Akeno-senpai just came to talk to me.”

  Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Akeno… So they’re calling for you now, huh…?”

  Kiryuu Aika: “Mm, they must’ve noticed that I beat that fallen guy up “yesterday”. Also… I think they also sehe immense magic power I’m emitting.”

  Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Ah, that’s right… We got an immense Psion t as a reward from the mission. It must’ve been verted into an immense magic power in your world.”

  Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Are you okay? Will you be fine? If you don’t think you will, or if you sense dahen escape immediately by going to Tatsuya’s world and call me. I’ll meet you there.”

  Aika let out a smile as she read his message. And unbeknownst to her, the two kendo girls by her side were watg with pure jealousy and envy.

  Kiryuu Aika: “Mm, thank you.”

  Tsubakihara Yuuji: “For now… do you want to talk about this with the group aheir opinion? Now that you’ve shown your capabilities to them, they’ll want more answer from you.”

  Kiryuu Aika: “Yes. I’d love that. Let’s move to Group Chat.”

  Aika then expined her current situation, including the attack from the fallen ao the group.

  Chiba Erika: “Eh? Did you really enter a fallen angel? Like, the one from the myths?”

  Kiryuu Aika: “Mm! Fallen, devils, and angels exist in my world, as well as various other mythical creatures. Though, they mostly live hidden frur humans.”

  Chiba Erika: “Heeeeh, that’s pretty iing…”

  Kiryuu Aika: “You should go watch High School DxD from the file Yuuji shared here! It’s an anime about my world!”

  Chiba Erika: “Alright, will do!”

  Lelouch Lamperouge: “If I’m not mistaken, that Rias girl has a familiar, am I right? sidering her personality, I believe she must be spying on you with her familiar to try and catch a glimpse of your abilities and perhaps everae information about us, the group you mentioo her.”

  Kiryuu Aika: “Eh?! Really? Damn… I didn’t notice at all…”

  Tsubakihara Yuuji: “That’s before you have Elemental Sight and still o magic, after all. And when you activate your neckce that you ented with the Anti Magie spell, her e with her familiar must’ve been cut off.”

  Lelouch Lamperouge: “Iheher waited for her e with her familiar to be back or went to the site of the atta person.”

  Kiryuu Aika: “Wait, but couldn’t she teleport? If she wao see the fight, she could just telepht?”

  Lelouch Lamperouge: “Hm… If she did try to teleport, then the fact that she didn’t appear before you might prove that the effects of your neckce hieleportations as well. If so, then this would be useful information to know.”

  Chiba Erika: “Wow… There’s teleportation magic too? That’s crazy…”

  Kiryuu Aika: “I see… If it’s true, then it is certainly very useful to know. Erika-, your neckce might be able to do that too si’s basically an upgraded version of mine!”

  Chiba Erika: “I’d love to test it, but there’s no way to do it in this world. There’s no teleportation magic, after all…”

  Kiryuu Aika: “You try it when you e to my world ter on!”

  Chiba Erika: “Mm. I’ll do so.”

  Aika then tihe main topic of versation.

  Kiryuu Aika: “Then, what do you think you guys should do? Sage-neesan thankfully cealed 70% of the magic I’m emitting, but I still showed them that I have magic power that I didn’t have just the day before.”

  Tsubakihara yuuji: “...Sage-neesan?”

  Lelouch Lamperouge: “Pretend you did everything on purpose.”

  Aika’s eyes widened when she saw Lelouch’s message.

  “...Huh?”
