Tatsuma asked, "Speaking of which, do you want to inherit the throne in the future? Or will you hand that position over to your sisters?"
"This matter is currently still under discussion."
A faint demonic power appeared on La Folia's body, and a pair of Devil wings spread out from her back.
After integrating a Evil Piece, she had joined Tatsuma's Peerage and also became a Devil.
A Devil inheriting the throne and governing the country.
No matter how you look at it, it's not very good.
Of course, the impact of this matter can be big or small.
After joining Tatsuma's Peerage a few days ago, La Folia returned to the Aldegyr Kingdom once.
Although this news caused great turmoil within the royal family and greatly startled her parents, after hearing Tatsuma's name, many members of the royal family, including her parents, ultimately said nothing.
Tatsuma's name was simply too great.
Especially after forcibly occupying MAR, his influence has extended from the inner supernatural world to the outer human world.
Being able to be tied together with Tatsuma is a good thing in every respect. However, having a devil inherit the throne is still an issue that needs to be discussed.
La Folia asked, "Tatsuma, how do you view this matter?"
Tatsuma replied, "Just do as you like. If you want to inherit the throne, I'll help you. If you don't want to inherit the throne, then just give up your right of succession and live at my place."
La Folia said, "That's really carefree. Haven't you ever thought of becoming the king of Aldegyr through me, or indirectly controlling the Aldegyr Kingdom through me?"
"I'm not interested in power struggles. I'd rather spend that time training."
"You're already so strong, yet you still work so hard."
"Being strong is only relative. In my opinion, there will always be a day when it's not enough."
Tatsuma slightly squeezed the empty drink can flat and threw it into the trash can nearby.
"Putting aside those distant situations, your grandfather is the most typical example."
"That's a good example, don't use it next time." La Folia sighed, somewhat helpless.
A month ago, her grandmother accidentally discovered her grandfather had an affair, causing a commotion within the royal family. Fearing retribution, her grandfather, who was the former king of the Aldegyr Kingdom, ran away overnight. To this day, there is still no news.
To a certain extent, this is indeed a manifestation of insufficient strength.
However, with Tatsuma using this kind of thing as an example, La Folia felt like he was saying she was going to find out about an affair.
Although it's pretty much the case now.
Glancing at the beautiful girls in the room who were gathered in groups of three or five, forming different small circles and chatting, La Folia sighed.
There are too many rivals, the pressure is a bit high.
"Speaking of which, do you want to go on vacation to the Underworld with us this summer?" Just then, Tatsuma's voice sounded again.
La Folia shook her head. "Maybe next time, I have something to do this summer."
Tatsuma asked, "Do you need help?"
"No, it's not a troublesome matter. It's mainly about finding my aunt."
"There have been some clues recently. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to find her this month."
"Then good luck. If you encounter trouble, use this to call me." Tatsuma threw over a nameplate.
Ending the conversation with La Folia, Tatsuma coughed twice to interrupt the girls' chatter and asked about their summer vacation plans.
To level up traits, he had already decided to go to the Underworld with Rias and the others for the summer vacation.
Normally, only devils and reincarnated devils can go to the Netherworld through the Gremory passage. However, with him and Rias there, this matter wouldn't be particularly troublesome, it could be resolved with a greeting.
"Can I also go to the Underworld nya?" Kuroka pointed to herself, somewhat confused.
"If you want to go, just go. Nobody will trouble you." Tatsuma's tone was calm, yet full of a sense of security.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. For the summer vacation, I want to spend it with Shirone, nya."
Kuroka chose to sign up to go to the Underworld.
After that, Le Fay, Avrora, and the others successively chose to go to the Underworld, and even Yahweh, as the God of the Bible, signed up.
After the round of sign-ups ended, Tatsuma turned his head to look at Grayfia, who had been silent. "Aren't you going back to the Underworld?"
"I'm not going back. I plan to go to Hueco Mundo." Grayfia took out a crystal ball from her pocket.
This was a tool she had asked Yahweh to make, capable of opening a door to travel between Hueco Mundo and the Human World.
"Be careful."
Tatsuma did not try to persuade her further.
This was the deal between him and Grayfia.
He helped Grayfia awaken her potential, and in exchange, she would go to Hueco Mundo to hunt Hollows.
With the trait-sharing function, after Grayfia defeats a Hollow, he will simultaneously gain traits.
At that time, he would find Devils in the Underworld to drop traits.
With both methods, by the end of this summer vacation, he had a great chance to get a few more Rainbow traits.
The sign-ups ended, and the gathering continued.
The girls gathered together, discussing enthusiastically what things to bring back to the Underworld.
After Tatsuma offered a few suggestions, a sound rang out.
Lowering his head to glance at the watch emitting red light, Tatsuma stood up.
"You all chat first, I have to leave."
"You're not going to cause trouble again, are you?" Rias was stunned for a moment, then quickly inquired about the situation.
"Relax, I'm going to catch a wanted criminal." Tatsuma chuckled softly and activated Teleportation Magic.
The surrounding scenery rapidly changed, and he appeared beside a beach.
On the beach, two groups of people were currently standing, one in front and one behind.
Standing in front was Yuuma, along with a group of Akatsuki members.
As for those standing behind...
Tatsuma turned around and looked at the beautiful woman standing behind him, wearing a black kimono with hair reaching her waist.
"Are you Aya?"
"Red Dragon Emperor, I didn't expect you to come personally." Aya recognized Tatsuma's identity.
A commotion arose, and the LCO members standing behind Aya let out a series of exclamations.
As time passed, Tatsuma's name had reached a level where no one was unaware of it.
Upon hearing that the enemy's reinforcement was Tatsuma, these terrorists who usually acted recklessly all became nervous.
"Calm down, no need to be nervous."
Just then, Aya's voice rang out again, filled with confidence.
"I engraved the Black Bible here in advance. Even the Red Dragon Emperor is no match for me."
The moment her voice fell, a massive energy fluctuation rose from Aya.
At the edge of the beach, inconspicuous black runes emitted light, drawing power from the earth.
The stars in the sky cast down their light, and a huge barrier covered the entire beach.
"Tatsuma, run!"
Yuuma's expression changed, and she quickly warned him.
"The Black Bible possesses the power to modify the world. Once covered by this barrier, you will lose all supernatural powers and become..."
Boom!
A deafening roar sounded, and the newly formed barrier surrounding them was shattered.
Tatsuma lowered his fist and glanced out of the corner of his eye at Yuuma, who was frozen in place. "Did you just say something?"
"Uh... you heard wrong."
Yuuma's eye twitched, and she stopped her warning.
If she hadn't been mistaken just now, Tatsuma hadn't used any supernatural energy. Relying only on the strong winds stirred up by his punch, he had shattered the barrier covering the entire beach. It was simply too unbelievable.
"Monster." Aya's face was also filled with surprise.
The Black Bible possesses the power to modify the world and can eliminate all supernatural powers.
To construct the barrier, she had simultaneously borrowed the power of the earth and the stars.
Boosted by the power of the earth and stars, the barrier could even withstand attacks of the Satan level.
Shattering the barrier with a single punch...
Didn't this mean that Tatsuma could easily defeat a Satan just with his physical prowess?
Looking at the man not far in front of her, Aya's expression became solemn.
However, just then, Tatsuma suddenly disappeared from her sight, and a series of screams rang out.
Aya's pupils contracted, and she subconsciously looked back behind her, only to see that the group of LCO members who had just been standing behind her had been completely wiped out.
As for the culprit behind all this, he was now standing face-to-face right in front of her.
"It's over."
Tatsuma placed his palm on Aya's abdomen and applied a little force. The next moment, a roaring sound rang out.
Aya didn't even have a chance to summon her Guardian Knights before being smashed into the sand beneath the beach.
[Congratulations on successfully defeating Aya Tokoyogi. You have obtained the purple trait: Secretary Witch.]
[Secretary Witch (Purple): After viewing a grimoire, you can record the grimoire's content and expend a certain amount of energy to reproduce the grimoire's effects.]
A functional purple trait, quite decent.
