Yes, just as Scarlet guessed, Roxanne also thought about this possibility. But she wasn't worried about this, as she already had a plan.
"Don't worry about it, but just to let you know, I will tell you a little secret, " Roxanne said with a mysterious expression.
"Oh, what secret? Please do tell me, " This piques Scarlet's interest.
"Well, let's just say there is a part 2 for the play. " Roxanne said the riddle with a mysterious smile.
"Huh, what? " Scarlet asked, clearly puzzled. What kind of play was she talking about? Is this about her upcoming act or something else?
Damn it, she really hates it when Roxanne doesn't explain things clearly. Doesn't she realize that keeping someone in suspense is the cruelest thing they could do to a person? Especially for someone like her who embodies the concept of dreams.
'Damn it, this girl is definitely doing this on purpose. Damn you, Roxanne, and your stupid, evil taste, ' Scarlet thought as she glared at Roxanne.
Seeing Scarlet's look of dissatisfaction, Roxanne felt her vanity greatly satisfied. She especially enjoyed the look of 'wanting to know all the details, but due to their pride, they couldn't ask any questions.'
"Okay, okay, don't look at me like that! Here, let me tell you what I'm planning…" Not wanting to provoke this dragon girl anymore, Roxanne began to explain her plan to her.
After hearing about the plan, Scarlet had a very complicated expression. If Roxanne truly intends to go with this plan, then Cao Cao would most likely disregard everything and fight her to the death, even to the point of madness.
Hell, he might even start working with all the other evil gods just to take Roxanne's life.
'Should I remind Roxanne of this? But I doubt this girl would actually listen to me. And besides, if Cao Cao actually doesn't leave Kyoto alive, everything would be fine.
But oh well, this is Roxanne's problem, and besides, after Luciana hears about this, I'm sure I won't be needing to point this out anyway. 'After thinking for a while, Scarlet finally decided to shrug her shoulders and walk away from this mess.
And besides, it would be a miracle if Cao Cao could actually go back alive after Roxanne finishes with him.
You know, for this operation, Roxanne decided to let 5 executives act together just to deal with the Hero faction. With such a force, forget about the hero faction; even a small pantheon would be wiped out if not careful.
….
While the supernatural society was bustling with various undercurrents, Issei and his fellow classmates were thoroughly enjoying their school trip. Originally, the school trip was supposed to be only for 3 days, but with the generous sponsorship from the Morningstar corporation, the school trip was extended from 3 days to a total of 5 days.
This also meant that the students were able to enjoy themselves thoroughly and relax without needing to be on a tight schedule. And this also applied to the teachers, who also got some time to treat themselves, especially with all the VIP services that they got from all the shops that belong to the Morningstar corporation.
One could say that because of Roxanne, this whole school trip was leveled up, and everyone finally managed to understand the life of luxury. Life would never be the same for them.
And as the school trip was coming to its end, both the students and teachers all felt a great sense of loss and regret.
But no matter how sad they were, they still had to accept reality. So, like dejected wives, they all boarded the bus ready to go back home. But amongst these dejected people, Issei and the rest of the devil squad were not as sad as the rest of their classmates. In fact, their expressions were filled with worry.
Unlike the rest of their classmates, they were not able to enjoy themselves like the rest due to all the troubles the Khoas Brigade was causing. Heck, they were even busier than when they were going to school.
Especially Issei, who had constantly fought against those from the hero's faction or those rogue yokai, or enemies of the west yokai faction, who constantly came out to cause trouble.
Issei even had the illusion that his combat awareness was strengthened with recent, constant battles that would pop out every now and then. Thankfully, Issei had never slacked off from his training, or else he would really die from the injuries and strain of fighting all day long.
What Issei had no idea was that all these battles he fought were the result of a certain girl who was constantly sending some small fry to increase his combat experience so that he could be ready for the boss battle that would happen really soon.
As someone who even made luck and causality into a weapon, Roxanne was never the one who would let things happen according to fate. In fact, she herself would be said to be someone who is constantly defying fate.
Although she knew from watching the story that Issei would most likely have a battle with Cao Cao that would end in a draw. She didn't like this outcome. After all, who could tell that with Cao Cao being so stimulated, he would not use Balance Breaker on the first opportunity and seriously injure Issei? At that time, forget about Issei's crazy power that comes from Rias's boobs; he would even have to struggle just to stay alive.
Although she doesn't take Cao Cao seriously, this doesn't mean Cao Cao is a small fry that anyone can crush. His sacred gear, the True Longinus, is very deadly towards most supernatural beings. After all that, Spear has part of the power of the God of the Bible.
If Issei were injured by that spear, then he would suffer a serious loss. You should know that even Phoenix tears would barely work on such injuries.
So, just in case Roxanne wanted Issei to get a suitable power-up. After, she really didn't want to come and see Issei lying dead with a spear coming out of his body.
And like that, time passes very quickly. Finally, the bus left the hotel and began its journey to the airport. And just as the bus had departed, another bus similar in size also arrived at the hotel. When the bus opened, the people got off one by one. And surprisingly, the ones who got down were the students who had just left earlier. But amongst this group, there was no issei or other devils.
At the end of the line, Luciana, dressed in a maid's outfit, walked down and spoke to the students, " Everyone, remember the plan; the hero faction will be taking action any minute now. And at that time, we will give our honored guests the super VIP treatment that they will remember for the rest of their lives. "
At the end of her words, Luciana's voice contained the barely hidden killing intent. Roxanne had already informed her of the conversation Georg had with Cao Cao. So she was very much looking forward to meeting these guests.
"Yes, ma'am, " the students all said with serious expressions. At this moment, they didn't look like students at all; instead, they looked like a bunch of killers waiting for the first blood to be shed.
