With the appearance of Hikaru and Kotonoha, the atmosphere in the entire hall became slightly strange, awkward yet with a bit of tension ready to explode.
Hayasaka, who was beside them, gave Hikaru a ‘good luck’ look, then quietly retreated. She didn’t want to become a victim in this situation. A shuraba like this wasn’t something she could interfere with using her small body. Enemies have heads, debts have owners. She could only pray that Young Master Kanzaki would ‘survive’.
And, right after Hayasaka retreated.
“Kaguya-sama, Shirayuki-sama, Kuroyukihime-sama, and Asuna-sama, nice to meet you, I’m Katsura Kotonoha!”
Perhaps out of politeness, or for other reasons, Kotonoha bravely withstood the pressure from Kaguya and Shirayuki Hime, and greeted them.
Because Kotonoha broke the deadlock, everyone’s gazes in the hall shifted to her. Instantly, the courage that had just emerged in Kotonoha’s already weak heart quickly receded, and she unconsciously leaned against Hikaru behind her.
This scene made Kaguya’s and Shirayuki Hime’s gazes even sharper.
“Kotonoha is my junior at high school. You two, relax a bit.”
Hikaru looked at Shirayuki Hime and Kaguya, and said irritably.
“Junior!”
“Junior, senior... I didn’t expect someone has changed their tastes.”
Hikaru’s explanation was completely not believed by Kaguya and Shirayuki Hime; instead, it had a tendency to worsen the situation.
Especially Kaguya; previously their relationship was slightly stiff because of the engagement. Now, her fiancé not only cheated with this Shirayuki Hime woman, but also dared to openly bring another woman to appear before her. In Kaguya’s eyes, this was completely a provocation against her.
No matter what happened, Hikaru was her fiancé. This point could not be changed.
Kotonoha’s face slightly flushed, not knowing whether it was because of Kaguya’s and Shirayuki Hime’s words, or for other reasons.
(Seems like another innocent girl who knows it’s a fire pit but still jumps into it.)
Asuna sighed inwardly. At the same time, she placed the red tea in her hand down, seemingly a bit reluctant to see this seemingly obedient girl being intimidated between two women with bad personalities, Shirayuki Hime and Kaguya.
“Kotonoha, don’t be too polite. Just call us by our names directly. I think Kaguya, Shirayuki, you two don’t mind, right? After all, we need to ‘live peacefully together’ here for some time to come.”
As soon as these words came out, Asuna indirectly helped Kotonoha out of the difficulty.
And, since Asuna had already said so, Kaguya and Shirayuki Hime fell silent without speaking, which meant they agreed with Asuna’s words.
“Interesting!”
Hikaru pulled Kotonoha’s hand, walked to an empty sofa and sat down, his eyes showing a bit of surprise as he looked at Asuna.
Hikaru’s gaze was precisely caught by Asuna.
“Young Master Kanzaki, playboys are not included in my partner category. I hope there won’t be any futile efforts in the future.” Asuna said lightly.
Clearly, she thought Hikaru was interested in her, and making her the next target in his romantic path. Although Asuna didn’t hate Hikaru inwardly, she had set boundaries for herself. She absolutely must not get involved in any relationship with this mysterious man, especially such an extremely ambiguous relationship; that was absolutely impossible.
“Oh, Hikaru, are you interested in Asuna? Your scumbag nature is exposed so quickly.”
Shirayuki Hime covered her small mouth and mocked. Her eyes showed a bit of wariness as she looked at Asuna. A woman who was gentle and intellectual like this seemed to also be the type this playboy liked.
“Scumbag!”
Kaguya spat out two words with an unhappy face.
Even Kotonoha’s eyes beside her showed a bit of sadness again, and her small fist clenched quietly.
“Whether I’m a scumbag or not, don’t you all know clearly? I just have some additional emotional experiences.”
Hikaru shook his head helplessly and said.
“Hikaru, that’s what a scumbag shows. Generally, scumbags avoid important matters this way. Romance novels also write it like this. Flirting with a junior in front of your fiancée and ex-girlfriend, and also looking at Asuna with flirtatious eyes. Saying you’re a scumbag is not wrong at all, Hikaru.”
Kuroyukihime, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, her tone slightly accusatory. And, as Kotonoha just entered, she compared herself to Kotonoha.
“Hikaru, if you want to get back together, I have no objection at all.”
Shirayuki Hime stood up and smiled, her eyes even showing a bit of anticipation.
As soon as these words came out, not only was Kotonoha shocked, even her younger sister Kuroyukihime and Kaguya raised their eyebrows.
“I hope you dare to say these bold words in front of Mio.”
Hikaru glanced at Shirayuki Hime and said.
Shirayuki Hime fell silent. She truly didn’t dare to say words like that in front of that terrifying woman.
And, Kaguya also became curious.
Mio, Hikaru’s current girlfriend, ranked third on the Eternal Beauty List—what kind of person was she actually that could make Shirayuki Hime so wary.
“Kuroyukihime, reduce reading those useless romance novels. I looked at Asuna more because of something that slipped from my hands before. I didn’t expect that thing to be nesting in her body, which surprised me a bit.”
“Something nesting in my body?!”
Asuna was shocked, not understanding what was happening.
“Just a Sacred Gear that keeps nesting among humans and causing trouble.”
Hikaru waved his hand and said indifferently.
If it were his past self, he indeed needed this Sacred Gear to increase his power. Unfortunately, not anymore. With his current power, obtaining it couldn’t even be considered a sweetener. After all, he had the Sacred Gear, Azure Slaughter Sword (Seiriku Ken), specially made for him by Sei; that was more than enough.
“You mean, Asuna has a Sacred Gear in her body? She’s a Sacred Gear holder!!!”
Both Shirayuki Hime, Kuroyukihime, and Kaguya were shocked.
The existence of Sacred Gear holders.
They had also only recently learned about it. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Sacred Gear holders had the potential to become strong people. Although there were differences in power among Sacred Gears, but thinking of the Sacred Gear targeted by Hikaru, it must be an existence that couldn’t be underestimated.
Kaguya and Shirayuki Hime, Kuroyukihime looked at Asuna with a bit of envy.
“Sacred Gear! I really have a Sacred Gear nesting in my body!”
Asuna looked at her hand in disbelief, still a bit unable to regain her senses.
“Having a Sacred Gear is one thing, whether it awakens is another matter. Whether it can be developed to Balance Breaker level or higher is full of uncertainty.”
Hikaru’s words were truly like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the joy that had just ignited in Asuna’s heart.
“Over the top—“
Kuroyukihime said in a low voice.
“A man who’s extremely stingy in certain aspects.”
Kaguya also shook her head. As Hikaru’s childhood friend, she understood very well some of his bad personality traits.
“Although, I know some awakening methods, especially for this Sacred Gear. Since it was my previous target, I have very complete development experience...”
Hikaru smiled cynically, looked at Asuna and continued, “Unfortunately, someone is not my girlfriend, right Asuna-san.”
“...You!”
Asuna became angry. Her beautiful eyes glared at Hikaru.
(Is this man still a man? So calculating—)
“Besides, the cause and effect on this Sacred Gear is not light. You need to prepare.”
“What preparation?!”
For some reason, a bad premonition arose in Asuna’s heart.
Hikaru smiled thinly at the corner of his mouth, and said very lightly, “Preparation for an arch-nemesis with Devil King level power. Of course, that’s on the condition that you can awaken this Sacred Gear.”
Asuna’s heart felt cold.
She had no idea what happened at all. How could she get an arch-nemesis as strong as Devil King level? Doesn’t this mean that as long as she awakens the Sacred Gear, that arch-nemesis will come looking for her? Conversely, if she continues not to awaken it, she would be safe.

Title: Murder
For the first time, Asuna felt what it was like to be caught between two difficult choices.
(This annoying man)
Just as Asuna hesitated whether she should humble herself and ‘humbly’ seek advice from Hikaru.
“I’m quite curious, what kind of Sacred Gear does Asuna-san possess to attract Devil King level powerhouses.”
That voice carried noble elegance and deeply concealed arrogance.
Kaguya, Asuna, Shirayuki Hime... and the others all stood up. A group of people slowly descended from the second floor.
They were Shinomiya Gan’an, Yuuki Shouzou, Kotonoha’s mother, Katsura Manami, as well as Shirayuki Hime and Kuroyukihime’s mother, Yanagawa Nako. Besides these four parents, there were also instructors invited to guide them into the training path, as mentioned by Kotonoha on the train.
Kisho Arima from CCG, Amami Daizen, one of the Twelve Divine Generals of the Onmyō Agency, and a young man walking at the very front who had just spoken, a pure-blooded devil from the Underworld.
“I really met a ‘familiar person’, Diodora Astaroth, pure-blooded devil noble from the Underworld, main heir of the Astaroth family.”
Hikaru smiled mockingly at the corner of his mouth.
He didn’t expect to meet this bastard who liked collecting church saints here. Should he find a reason to annihilate this annoying man?
Hikaru considered with malicious intent in his heart.
“Uncle Shinomiya!”
Hikaru ignored the others and greeted Gan’an respectfully.
“Hikaru, you truly haven’t disappointed me and your father. If your father Kōmei knew in heaven, he would also feel relieved.”
Gan’an approached Hikaru, patted his shoulder hard, and said with relief.
Kanzaki Kōmei.
That is, Hikaru’s father, was Gan’an’s best friend. On his deathbed, he entrusted Hikaru to Gan’an to take care of. From his engagement to Kaguya, it can be seen that Gan’an cared for him completely like his own child, even more precisely, he was cared for better than his own child, because even when facing his daughter Kaguya, he showed a cold and rational attitude, not emotions like now.
“Uncle Shinomiya, you praise me too much.” Hikaru said with a smile.
“Too much praise, too humble, Hikaru. I hope you don’t mind me calling you ‘Hikaru’.”
Nako, Shirayuki Hime and Kuroyukihime’s mother, said with a gentle smile, “You who can teach the number one on the Transcendent List deserve any praise.”
“Unfortunately, you and Shirayuki had to end with regrets.”
“Auntie Nako, hello!”
Hikaru greeted with a smile.
Honestly, this was the first time he met Shirayuki Hime’s mother. Previously, when dating her, he tried to avoid this family issue.
At this moment, the gazes of Arima, Daizen, Shouzou... and the others were fixed on Hikaru, the strange existence very famous on the Dimensional List.
Although Hikaru didn’t enter the list, the important figures on that list had countless connections with him. Just the fact that he taught the number one on the Transcendent List, Suzushina Yuriko, was enough to make anyone not dare underestimate him.
“Kanzaki-kun, you haven’t answered my question.”
Hikaru’s disregard made Diodora very displeased in his heart, but he also knew the other party was not an existence easily provoked, so he suppressed his displeasure inwardly, waiting for a future opportunity to give a lesson.
Diodora’s personality in some aspects was like a venomous snake, patient, stalking... and delivering a fatal strike when the enemy was unprepared.
“You just need to know that it’s not an existence you can touch.”
Hikaru glanced at Diodora and said calmly.
“Haha... I can’t touch it? Kanzaki-kun is too arrogant. Perhaps you don’t know my identity, that’s why you dare to speak such big words.”
This insult made Diodora laugh angrily.
“Diodora Astaroth, pure-blooded devil noble from the Underworld, main heir of the Astaroth family, and also blood relative of the Underworld Devil King Ajuka. I’m not wrong, right.”
“Blood relative of Devil King Ajuka!!!”
An identity meaningless in Hikaru’s eyes became completely different in the eyes of Kaguya, Shouzou, Shirayuki Hime, Daizen... and the others.
They didn’t expect the devil summoned by devil contract to have such prominent status in the Underworld. And, Manami even looked at her daughter Kotonoha with joy. Now the Katsura family and her daughter had gained a great supporter.
“You know?!”
Diodora was quite shocked after Hikaru revealed his entire identity.
“Of course, arrogant god and demon races.”
Hikaru smiled mockingly, then said to Gan’an
“Uncle Shinomiya, devil contract transactions also need to choose people. What kind of contract did you all sign with him.”
Hikaru didn’t think Diodora would be so kind-hearted to teach Kaguya, Kotonoha... and the others to train.
Shouzou, Gan’an, Manami, Nako, these four parents exchanged glances. Finally, Manami stepped forward and said, “Familiar. Kotonoha will become his Familiar. This is the devil contract between us.”
“Mother, this...!!!”
Kotonoha was shocked. She didn’t expect that she had been sold without her knowledge.
“Kotonoha, you’re at rank eighty-five on the Eternal Beauty List, Rank Reward: Basic Physical Transformation. After becoming Diodora’s Familiar, you can be transformed into a true devil through the Evil Piece. That’s equivalent to the effect of Rank Reward: Advanced Physical Transformation.”
Manami explained patiently.
“But, but...”
Kotonoha was almost crying from anxiety.
There was one thing she knew: after truly becoming a Familiar, no matter the outcome, she would definitely be separated from Hikaru.
“Kotonoha-san, after becoming my Familiar, I won’t order you to do excessive things.”
Diodora said while trying to maintain his smile.
“Senpai—“
Kotonoha placed her last hope on Hikaru.
“Relax.” Hikaru stroked Kotonoha’s beautiful hair and said, “A bastard like this doesn’t even have the qualifications to make you his Familiar.”
“Bastard, some words spoken must be paid for!”
Diodora threatened with a grim face.
“Diodora, before I get angry, you’d better disappear from my sight.”
Hikaru ignored the crowd’s reaction and said coldly.
“Just a lowly human, do you really think that by relying on the Accelerator behind you, no one dares to do anything to you!”
Diodora was furious. Devil Magic began to appear in his hand. The entire hall was immediately enveloped by a terrifying feeling, as if falling into the depths of hell.
Arima and Daizen protected Gan’an, Shouzou... and the others to retreat.
“Uncle Shinomiya, your house hall will be a bit dirty soon.”
Before Gan’an could react, Hikaru had already moved.
*WHOOSH!*
Hikaru appeared to the right of Diodora via teleportation.
Instantly, Diodora was shocked. He didn’t see his movement at all, but then he slammed the Devil Magic in his hand hard.
“Die!!!”
*PLAK!*
Hikaru’s palm was like a giant mountain, pressing down on Diodora. Instantly, the Devil Magic shattered, and his entire being knelt on the ground.
“How is this possible, how can you be this strong!!!”
Diodora cried out in disbelief, as if he couldn’t accept this reality. In his eyes, Hikaru relied more on Yuriko. Although he was her teacher, Yuriko’s strength lay in super abilities, not others.
“Fall, Diodora!”
Hikaru’s words were like judgment from heaven, without room for refutation.
“No, no, no... I am a blood relative of the Devil King, the future Honorable Devil King, you must not kill me... You will be hunted by the entire Underworld if you kill me.”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Gan’an, Shouzou... and the others changed. Indeed, Diodora’s identity was too heavy for them. Nothing must happen to him.
Unfortunately, without waiting for Gan’an and the others to speak.
Countless blue light swords exploded from Hikaru’s hand, directly piercing Diodora, and continuously cutting his vitality.
“Aaaah—“
Pain no less than lingchi punishment made Diodora emit a miserable scream, which even made Hayasaka outside the door tremble.
Emperor Shin!
He is Emperor Shin!!!
In his death agony, Diodora finally confirmed Hikaru’s identity. Then, under the countless blue light swords, he turned into a pool of flesh, and the smell of blood filled the entire hall.

Title: Ajuka
A deadly silence.
The entire hall of the Shinomiya residence truly felt like it had fallen into stagnant water, quiet and deadly.
Everyone was nearly shocked!
They didn’t know whether they couldn’t accept this reality or why, but their expressions couldn’t avoid showing respect as they looked at the young man standing there, Hikaru, who was resolute in killing.
Diodora was killed just like that!
After a long time, Daizen, who first regained consciousness, muttered in disbelief.
“Diodora has high-level devil power. He was annihilated so easily!”
“Highest-level devil power... at least highest-level devil power, even—“
Arima pushed up his glasses. Muscles throughout his body tensed, and his spirit was extremely vigilant, as if a forbidden existence was standing before him. The slightest carelessness could bring great disaster.
The seriousness in Arima’s tone, combined with the words before and after, also made others understand the meaning of the last unfinished sentence.
Devil King level powerhouse.
Hikaru was most likely a Devil King level powerhouse.
In an instant, the gazes of Nako, Shouzou, and Manami as they looked at Hikaru changed.
Previously, all three of them, more or less on par with Diodora, were full of doubt about Hikaru’s strength. Although they knew he might not be weak, how strong he was was hard to estimate. After all, there was no good reference object, and they had never seen him move.
But now it was completely different. Hikaru could easily kill Diodora, as if stepping on an ant.
Hikaru’s power was most likely at the Devil King level.
The fact that Hikaru’s name did not appear on the Transcendent List was the best proof.
“Kotonoha seems to have a good relationship with him.”
Manami previously wanted to make Kotonoha Diodora’s Familiar, which in a certain sense was also for the Katsura family and Kotonoha herself.
Now, Diodora was dead, and the devil contract naturally could not be formed. If her daughter Kotonoha could be with Hikaru, in the future in Japan and even worldwide, who would dare touch the Katsura family backed by Hikaru, a Devil King level powerhouse.
Not only her who had this thought. The eyes of Shouzou and Nako beside her also sparkled.
Especially Nako, her daughter Shirayuki Hime still had lingering feelings for Hikaru. Perhaps there was still hope...
“Hikaru, you killed Diodora. Isn’t he a blood relative of the Devil King? Now the problem is big.”
Compared to others with wild thoughts, Gan’an was genuinely worried about Hikaru.
As soon as these words came out, the gazes of Shirayuki Hime, Kaguya... and the others also carried a bit of worry as they looked at Hikaru. That was the Devil King of the Underworld, a figure from myths and legends. Just hearing the name was enough to make people shudder.
If the other side attacked, whether Hikaru could withstand it was unknown!
Meanwhile, Kotonoha tightly gripped the corner of Hikaru’s clothes, her eyes full of tears from anxiety. After all, it was all because of her actions.
“Senpai—“
“It’s fine. A bastard like Diodora, from the first time I saw him, I was already thinking of ways to annihilate him.”
Hikaru comforted Kotonoha, then said to Diodora who had become a pool of flesh, “Devil King Ajuka, you’ve been watching for so long, now it’s time for you to come out from your blood relative.”
Everyone was shocked and quickly looked around.
Devil King Ajuka!!!
Could it be that the Devil King from the Underworld, that mythical figure, had already arrived!!!
So fast?!!!
But, the scene that appeared in the next second answered everyone’s doubts.
“Blue light sword. What is your relationship with that man?!”
A dignified voice echoed in the hall. Visible on Diodora’s body that had become a pool of flesh, an illusory projection of a young man appeared, speaking with a serious expression.
“He truly has no feelings. If not for the projection hidden in Diodora’s body blocking my attack, he wouldn’t have died so miserably. After all, he is your blood relative.” Hikaru said in a mocking tone.
“A blood relative colluding with the Old Devil King faction, trying to overthrow the Underworld government system, is merely a tool in my eyes to help the Underworld spy on the Old Devil King faction’s information.”
It was evident that Ajuka was fully aware of Diodora’s hidden actions.
Ajuka’s consciousness projection hidden inside Diodora’s body, rather than protecting him, was more accurately for monitoring him.
“...”
Not only Gan’an and the others, even Arima and Daizen were seeing a mythological figure of this weight for the first time. The shock in their hearts was inevitable, and their eyes showed horror.
And, what shocked them even more was that Hikaru could actually speak with this Devil King from myths and legends as if equals. Was his power so strong that it made even Devil King Beelzebub fearful, or for other reasons...
“Senpai!”
Kotonoha still murmured this.
She slightly understood why her senior’s ex-girlfriends like Shirayuki Hime chose to break up with her senior back then, and why they still had lingering feelings now.
Sometimes, mystery and a sense of difference might add a different charm to a person, but if this mystery and sense of difference were too strong, what it brought was desperate humiliation, a sense of inferiority with no end in sight. Even though she was beside him, the place she stood seemed like not the same dimension as him.
Love as humble as this would torment anyone.
“It’s not because Hikaru has flaws, but in a certain sense, he is too extraordinary, extraordinary to the level that makes people unworthy.”
Shirayuki Hime sighed and shook her head. This was the most honest thought in her heart.
“Extraordinary. It seems among them, I, the ‘childhood friend,’ know the least about you?!”
Kaguya sneered at the corner of her mouth.
“Kanzaki Hikaru, Emperor Shin...”
Ajuka looked at Hikaru seriously, continuously assessing what relationship existed between the two.
If it was said that Hikaru was Emperor Shin, let alone him not believing it, other Transcendents would laugh heartily if he drew this conclusion, including his best friend Sirzechs.
Nothing else because Hikaru’s age was too young. Who would dare believe that a human youth under twenty years old could rise so high, reaching the Transcendent position.
It should be known that all Transcendents, including him and Sirzechs, almost all had passed thousands of years before they transcended racial categories and reached the unique Transcendent status.
However, the blue light sword that had just annihilated Diodora was indeed Emperor Shin’s unique mark.
There must be a connection between Hikaru and Emperor Shin.
“Rather than you here guessing these useless things, better think about how to fulfill the devil contract signed by Diodora in the name of the Astaroth family.”
Hikaru changed the topic and reminded.
“The devil contract is still valid?!”
Kotonoha’s heart panicked.
“After all, that overly clever man signed it in the family’s name. The ones who must fulfill the promise are the Astaroth family. Diodora is dead, the part about you in it automatically becomes invalid.”
Hikaru explained with a cynical smile.
Gan’an, Shouzou... and the others all looked at Hikaru in shock. They also felt anxious in their hearts. This was an overtly one-sided clause. They were truly afraid this Devil King would get angry and turn all of Tokyo into a sea of fire.
Ajuka only frowned slightly.
He also understood that Hikaru’s words were completely unreasonable. Diodora who signed the devil contract was dead; the entire devil contract should have been canceled.
This Hikaru clearly wanted to take advantage of it.
However, no matter, these were all trivial matters.
“Regarding the pure-blooded devil who will teach them to enter the training path, he will arrive as promised tomorrow.”
Ajuka clearly did not want to dwell on this matter with Hikaru and directly agreed.
“Kanzaki Hikaru, no matter what your relationship with Emperor Shin is, it’s best not to become enemies with the Underworld.”
Ajuka warned firmly, then disappeared.
“Not becoming enemies with the Underworld, huh. In the future, that truly cannot be guaranteed!”
Looking towards where Ajuka disappeared, Hikaru’s eyes became slightly deeper. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
-
Title: Awakening of the Sacred Gear
Starlight shone, a bright moon hung in the sky, emitting silver light that illuminated living beings on earth, becoming the only source of light amidst the thick darkness.
The Shinomiya residence appeared quiet. Besides the symphony formed by the sounds of active nocturnal insects and the footsteps of patrolling security guards around it, it seemed everyone in the residence had already entered the realm of dreams.
However, the reality was the opposite.
The events that happened today were like adrenaline injections, continuously stimulating the nerve ends of Gan’an and the others. Perhaps because everything that happened before was too sudden, even just lying in bed and recalling it now felt even harder to believe.
Hikaru, who was resolute in killing and extremely powerful.
Devil King Ajuka from myths and legends.
All these things seemed to shake their worldview.
Especially Gan’an, he had no idea at all when this child he had watched grow up had reached such heights.
Perhaps in Hikaru’s eyes, the Shinomiya family and even all of Japan were unimportant matters.
He was very grateful that at that time, he turned the tide, suppressed all opposing voices from the family elders, and facilitated the engagement between Kaguya and Hikaru. As long as Hikaru stood behind the Shinomiya family, the Shinomiya family legacy that had lasted for hundreds of years would not be severed.
Arima and Daizen had conveyed everything they saw and heard today to the CCG and Onmyō Agency.
This information firmly warned the powers they oversaw respectively not to easily become enemies with him; otherwise, what awaited them was most likely destruction. Additionally, Arima not only conveyed the information to the CCG, but also through a very secretive method, conveyed it to the Aogiri Tree led by Takatsuki Sen. The warning words in that information were even more serious.
Shouzou, Manami, and Nako, who were temporarily staying at the Shinomiya residence, all deliberately lingered longer in their respective daughters’ rooms, teaching many things before returning to their own rooms.
Both Kotonoha’s and Kuroyukihime’s faces were slightly flushed, as if their parents had just said something that made them a little embarrassed.
In Asuna’s room.
“As close as possible to that man? Don’t even think about it!”
Asuna, wearing white pajamas, lay on the soft bed. She ‘viciously’ punched the brown teddy bear in her hand, as if treating it as the annoying person.
After punching the brown teddy bear, the irritation in Asuna’s heart slightly subsided. She then sat cross-legged on the bed, frowning irritably. She muttered to herself,
“Just because his power is a little stronger, to the point of making his daughter surrender herself like this!”
Right, it was surrender.
Her father Shouzou’s, the Yuuki family head’s, words had almost said it outright.
Asuna also understood some things. She knew that with the emergence of the Dimensional List, the entire world would undergo unprecedented great changes in the future, entering a completely different new era, an era where the strong prey on the weak, and power is respected.
At that time, families like Yuuki, Shinomiya, Yanagawa... if they still wanted to maintain their current status, they must have sufficient power to protect themselves, or rely on certain powerful individuals.
Hikaru’s emergence, possessing Devil King level power, completely fulfilled the Shinomiya, Yuuki, Yanagawa families’ requests...
It was inevitable that children from great families like her would be sacrificed. This time she truly could not refuse.
It’s just that, upon thinking of Hikaru’s various previous ‘playboy’ behaviors, and the fact that he was still Kaguya’s fiancé, it made it hard to say, feeling like becoming a ‘mistress’... or the type that had planned but not yet succeeded.
Asuna suddenly shook her head, discarding that embarrassing thought, and then thought sadly.
“Clearly don’t want to get too close to this man.”
The boundaries set before, unexpectedly within less than a few hours, she had completely broken them herself. It felt like being slapped in the face.
“How strong is Kanzaki Hikaru really?!”
This thought arose in Asuna’s heart. Although she knew Hikaru was very strong, a Devil King level powerhouse, she still had no accurate measure of how strong he really was.
“That man’s power is far more exaggerated than you imagine. There should be no existence stronger than him among humans.”
A thick and serious voice exploded in Asuna’s ear. At the same time, red light lit up on her right hand.
“Who?!”
Asuna was shocked. She had just wanted to stand up, but in the next second she lost consciousness and fell onto the bed.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Fire.
Fire filled the sky, burning madly. Fire pillars continuously erupted like volcanoes.
A complete world of fire, with no other matter visible.
“Why am I here?!”
Asuna, regaining consciousness, looked around in confusion, even extending her hand to touch the nearby fire, but felt no heat at all, or more precisely no sensation whatsoever, as if everything was an illusion.
“This is the consciousness space within the Red Dragon Emperor’s, new host!”
That familiar voice appeared again. When Asuna focused her eyes on the source of the voice, her eyes suddenly narrowed, as if she saw an extraordinary sight.
“Dragon, giant dragon...!!!”
It was a giant dragon, a blazing red giant dragon bathing in a sea of fire, like a fire emperor, bringing unprecedented pressure, shaking the entire space.
Asuna looked at the giant dragon before her, her heart and soul couldn’t help but tremble.
“I am the Dragon Spirit of Boosted Gear—Ddraig. Nice to meet you, future partner!”
“Boosted Gear, that’s a Sacred Gear, the Sacred Gear nesting in my body?!”
Asuna suddenly remembered Hikaru’s words.
“More precisely, it’s a Longinus. If not for sensing that man’s aura, I wouldn’t have awakened either.”
“Longinus?!!!”
Asuna was shocked. She didn’t expect what nested in her body was a Longinus, the Sacred Gear rumored to be able to annihilate Devil Kings and Gods. No wonder Hikaru had targeted this Sacred Gear before.
“But, why doesn’t that man want it anymore now?”
This was a Longinus, the Sacred Gear dreamed of by god and demon races. Why did Hikaru seem completely indifferent.
“That man no longer needs Boosted Gear to adorn himself. His power has completely surpassed the limits of this Longinus.” Ddraig said in a serious tone.
“How strong is he really?”
Asuna asked the question that had long troubled her.
After pondering for a moment, Ddraig said.
“How strong? Stronger than Devil King Ajuka. Number one, the strongest among humans!”
“Number one, the strongest among humans!!!”
Asuna couldn’t help but cover her mouth. Hard to imagine that Hikaru, this man with a bad personality, would become number one among humans.
“The white one has an extraordinary relationship with him. You must be careful.”
After Ddraig finished speaking, the entire consciousness space slowly disappeared.
“Wait... who is the white one?”
Asuna quickly shouted.
“...”
At the moment Asuna’s consciousness finally disappeared, she heard.
“White Dragon Emperor, your arch-nemesis!!!”
-
Title: Pure-Blooded Devil, Rias
Morning.
Sunlight rose from the sky, and birds flew to the branches, beginning to chirp, signaling the start of a new day.
At the Shinomiya residence.
“Kotonoha, for the next period of time, you must train well here with both teachers.”
After breakfast, Manami pulled Kotonoha aside and gave her special advice.
“I will, Mother!”
Then, Manami approached Kotonoha and whispered.
“Kotonoha, don’t forget what Mother told you last night.”
As these words came out, Kotonoha’s delicate cheeks flushed slightly. Thinking about her mother’s words last night, she still felt very shy.
However, when she looked at her Senior, Hikaru, who was still eating at the dining table, a slight sweetness emerged. Especially when he protected her behind him and faced Diodora alone yesterday, that sense of security and comfort made her want to always depend by his side.
Manami also faintly smiled in her heart seeing her daughter’s appearance.
As long as her daughter had a relationship with this powerful young man who could challenge the Underworld Devil King, their Katsura family would truly feel relieved in Japan.
At the same time.
Just like last night, with the same words, Shouzou and Nako as parents, also separately advised their daughters, asking them not to forget.
Kuroyukihime showed a slight embarrassment on her face, while Asuna, who had lacked sleep all night due to Boosted Gear’s awakening last night, rolled her eyes with a bit of helplessness.
After that, Shouzou, Manami, and Nako said goodbye to Gan’an and left the Shinomiya residence.
Gan’an, who had welcomed and seen off Shouzou and the others, returned, and called Hikaru, who was just about to go back to his room.
“You mischievous boy, you’re really lucky with women.”
Gan’an asked the servant beside him to pour two cups of red tea. In the entire hall, besides him and Hikaru, there was only the servant.
As for Kotonoha, Kaguya, Asuna, Shirayuki Hime, and Kuroyukihime, they were in the newly built training ground, where Daizen and Arima explained some general knowledge about the supernatural world. Of course, Hayasaka was also among them. As a member of the Eternal Beauty List, even Hayasaka, who was in the last rank, also received the Rank Reward: Ghost-Seeing Ability. Therefore, Gan’an also temporarily allowed her to set aside her maid duties and enter the training path with Kaguya.
“Uncle Shinomiya, you’re joking.”
Hikaru shook his head. He truly couldn’t refute this matter anymore.
“I know exactly what Yuuki Shouzou and the others are planning. I know that neither the Shinomiya family nor Kaguya can hold you back. My only hope now is that you don’t abandon Kaguya.”
Gan’an looked at Hikaru with a very serious expression, speaking word by word.
“Uncle Shinomiya, as long as Kaguya doesn’t leave, I will always keep her by my side.”
Facing Gan’an’s plea, Hikaru naturally had no reason to refuse.
After hearing Hikaru’s answer, Gan’an also showed a relieved smile. He couldn’t help but pat Hikaru amicably and said, “I feel relieved to have you by Kaguya’s side.”
Then, Gan’an stood up with a bit of worry and said, “Because of the appearance of the Dimensional List, things inside Japan are still fine, but most of Shinomiya Zaibatsu’s overseas subsidiaries are experiencing a lot of turmoil. I need to take care of it myself. And, I also won’t disturb you young people from spending time together.”
“Do you need help?”
Gan’an paused for a moment, smiled and said, “If the time comes, Uncle won’t hesitate.”
Hikaru got up to see Gan’an off and left the hall.
“Hikaru, I hope that when I return next time, I can see you and Kaguya married.”
Gan’an, who saw the child he raised since childhood, returned.
Hikaru only smiled, without giving a direct answer.
After that, Gan’an got into his business car and left the Shinomiya residence, while Hikaru also returned to his room alone. He had a very important thing to do today.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
On the southwest side of the Shinomiya residence.
A training ground occupying a very large area. The walls and floor were all made of high-density synthetic materials, giving off a slight sense of cold modern technology.
Inside the training ground.
“You should now have a more detailed understanding of the supernatural world.”
Daizen continued to fan himself with the paper fan in his hand, speaking to the several girls standing in front of him.
“Yes, Amami-sensei!”
Kaguya and the others said in unison.
“Your next training direction only has two points. The first is to practice kendo and martial arts with Arima, and the second is to practice Onmyōdō with me. So...”
However, before Daizen could finish his words, suddenly, a clear unfamiliar voice sounded in his ears, interrupting him.
“There’s a third direction. You can practice Devil Magic with me.”
Instantly, a bright red cubic magic circle appeared on the floor.
“Devil Magic, pure-blooded devil?”
Daizen and Arima exchanged glances, but were not too surprised. After all, Ajuka promised yesterday to send another pure-blooded devil to teach Kaguya and the others. They just hoped that the pure-blooded devil who appeared this time would be someone easy to get along with. If she was arrogant like Diodora before, what awaited her would likely still be being slaughtered by Hikaru, that young man with terrifying power.
Kaguya and the others also looked at the cubic magic circle with curiosity.
A girl with bright red hair, an excellent figure, and a very beautiful face walked gracefully out of the cubic magic circle. Her aura was elegant, like a noble princess, or she was indeed a noble princess.
After seeing the newcomer’s appearance, everyone present narrowed their eyes, because this girl, or rather this pure-blooded devil, was known to everyone present.
Rias Gremory, rank fourteen on the Eternal Beauty List, and rank eighteen on the Transcendent List.
The main heir of the pure-blooded devil nobility from the Underworld, younger sister of Devil King Lucifer.
“Nice to meet you all, I am Rias Gremory. I was ordered by Devil King Ajuka to come and teach you to enter the training path.”
Rias greeted very elegantly.
She did not have the disgusting arrogance of Diodora before, but instead gave a very approachable feeling.
