The next morning,
Kuoh Private Academy!
"Enrollment?"
Asia's face showed longing: "Someone like me... can I really enroll?"
Having grown up in the church, she had always longed for a normal school life.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Ayato affectionately ruffled Asia's hair.
"That's right, Asia, don't worry."
Utaha's eyes showed a hint of pity, knowing some of Asia's circumstances.
It was currently the time for classes.
Many students were hurrying along the school paths.
Ayato and the other two were particularly eye-catching.
"That's the transfer student, Utaha-senpai, right? She really is a beauty."
"And the one next to her... is that a nun? She's beautiful too."
"They're both with Ayato-senpai. I'm so jealous."
No matter where you go, combinations of handsome guys and beautiful girls are guaranteed attention.
Ayato had long been a well-known figure at the academy.
Although he often skipped class, his otherworldly handsome appearance appealed to everyone, young and old.
Although Utaha had just transferred, her reputation as a beauty had already spread throughout the entire academy.
No matter where they went, they could hear various murmurs.
Ayato and the other two were already used to it.
"So this is school life? They're all so bold."
Compared to Ayato and Utaha, listening to the surrounding chatter made Asia's face flush bright red.
'Calling me Ayato-san's girlfriend... how embarrassing.'
As the three walked, a figure appeared before them, seemingly waiting for them.
It was a girl with shoulder-length short hair, wearing glasses on her delicate face, giving off an intellectual aura.
"Sona, is there something you need?"
Seeing her approach, Ayato said with a smile.
Sona Sitri!
Another pure-blood Devil besides Rias.
Thanks to Rias, they knew each other well.
Stare!
Looking at Sona, Utaha stared intently.
'Whew!'
'At least I hadn't lost this time.'
'But it's another stunningly beautiful girl.'
'What could I say, it was Devil territory after all…'
'How many beauties of this level was that now?'
Noticing Utaha's gaze, Sona paid it no mind. Instead, she said to Ayato,
"For the time being, be more attentive to Rias."
With that, without waiting for Ayato's reply, she turned and left directly.
"What did she mean by that?"
Utaha looked confused but saw a thoughtful expression on Ayato's face.
What stood out most were the undisguised coldness in his eyes.
It's no different from when he had killed those people last night.
'Who had provoked my master this time?'
...
Occult Research Club!
"He-hello everyone. I am Asia. Please take care of me."
Asia bowed to Rias and the other two.
Looking at the somewhat nervous girl, Rias and the other two had somewhat strange expressions.
Because the nun's habit Asia was wearing was far too conspicuous for Devils.
"Material, this is all material!"
Utaha, standing nearby, had her eyes shining brightly.
A nun in Devil territory... ideas were popping into her head one after another.
"Hello, please take care of us."
Finally, Rias broke the silence. She looked at her childhood friend with gentle eyes. "Can you explain what's going on here?"
"Well, it's like this..."
Ayato didn't hide anything and explained the whole story.
Women are sentimental.
After learning of Asia's plight, the look in Rias's eyes also softened.
"But still, having a nun enroll here is quite bold."
Rias spoke slowly. "Of course, if she became your servant, then there wouldn't be a problem."
Knowing that Asia possessed a Sacred Gear, she intended to give a little push.
"Th-this..."
Asia was flustered.
'Becoming a Devil... becoming Ayato-san's servant... this...'
"No, just thinking about it is wrong. Lord, please forgive my heretical thoughts."
Asia shook her head repeatedly and began to pray silently.
For a time,
Everyone present except Ayato frowned slightly.
They were Devils.
Although such prayers were not harmful, they were still quite unpleasant.
After all, that God was their greatest enemy.
"Ah..."
Asia immediately realized this and said apologetically,
"I'm sorry, I forgot that everyone is a Devil."
"..." Rias and the others.
"Alright, Rias was just teasing you."
Ayato spoke softly.
Asia was full of potential and a qualified candidate for a servant. It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.
But it couldn't be rushed.
"You always have something to say."
Rias rolled her eyes gracefully. "Fine, I'll take care of the enrollment procedures."
"Really?"
A look of joy appeared on Asia's face. She bowed deeply once more. "Thank you so, so much."
"Since that's settled, time for business."
Koneko stood up and began dragging Utaha outside.
"Ah!"
Utaha shot a pleading look at Ayato.
'I had just arrived!'
'Did I have to train already?'
Ayato pretended not to see it.
He would not tolerate a mere trophy wife as his servant.
"Rias, tell me about your situation."
Thinking about Sona's warning, Ayato said seriously, "Is that pheasant family causing trouble again?"
"Sona told you, didn't she?"
Rias sighed but smiled. "Don't worry, I will never agree to that damn engagement."
"Give me some more time. I'll definitely break it off."
Although she was smiling, her gaze was more determined and deeper than ever before.
As if it were do or die.
'As expected!'
Killing intent churned in Ayato's eyes.
Although he existed in this world, the engagement between the two pure-blood Devil noble families still remained.
Before awakening his memories, the reason he had trained so hard was to help Rias break off the engagement.
"Wh-what's going on?"
Sensing the strange atmosphere, a big question mark appeared above Asia's head.
"Asia, come with me."
Akeno sighed quietly and led Asia out of the room, leaving the space to the two of them.
