After Leone transforms, she can definitely make a cameo.
"Heh, heh heh…"
The corner of Rias's mouth twitched slightly.
Alright, how could this guy, whose mind is full of perverted thoughts, be anyone else?
"Alright, I haven't finished my meal yet."
Alex waved his hand, "Of course, you're welcome to find me anytime."
As his voice fell, Alex's figure had already vanished into the light.
"…"
Occult Research Club.
Rias and Akeno sat opposite each other.
Akeno served them both tea, then went out to attend to matters.
The commotion this time was too great; who knew how many people's memories would need to be erased.
Sona Sitri pushed up her glasses and said with a complex expression, "Is that person really the Alex I know?"
"It's him, no doubt."
Rias leaned back on the sofa, her expression somewhat dazed, "But even I find it incredible."
"Alex, he… has actually become so strong."
Sona Sitri picked up her tea and took a sip, smiling, "But isn't this good news?"
"He's your childhood friend, isn't he? In my opinion, he's much more suitable to be your fiancé than that trash."
She knew how much her good friend resisted that arranged marriage.
She hadn't even met that fiancé, yet she detested him to the extreme.
Rias blushed, "Sona, what are you talking about?"
"Besides, this matter isn't that simple."
At this point, Rias sighed.
Seeing Rias's expression, Sona Sitri also had a headache, "Indeed, those old fogies are too difficult to deal with."
"Even a Devil King won't make them budge."
"Yes, I don't want Alex to encounter danger."
Hearing Rias's words, Sona Sitri said with a half-smile, "Oh my, it seems you're truly head over heels for Alex."
"I had originally planned to try my hand if you truly weren't interested."
"You're not allowed to scheme against him."
Rias's eyes became incredibly sharp, as if ready to act at the slightest disagreement.
Sona Sitri rolled her eyes, "Don't worry, I wouldn't steal a friend's man."
"Alright, I have to go busy myself. Remember to find me if you need any help."
Leaving these words, Sona Sitri had already left using Teleportation Magic.
Buzz!
Immediately after, the light of a Magic Circle flickered again.
"Why are you all here?"
Rias was surprised.
"Master said you needed manpower here."
Shiho smiled slightly, "Just give us your orders for anything."
"Hmph, at least that guy has some conscience."
Rias muttered to herself, her eyes beginning to soften.
That Alex guy, he still cares about me after all.
But very quickly, her gaze at Shiho and the others turned to surprise and doubt, "You, your strength…"
Did she see wrong?
No way?
It had only been a few days, and Akemi and Vermouth's strength had increased so much.
Especially Shiho.
It seemed she wasn't far from an Upper-level Demon either.
Shiho smiled, "We just had another breakthrough these past few days."
Rias: "…"
A fluke?
One person might be a fluke.
But all of you are like this.
It's practically cheating.
She opened her mouth, wanting to ask further, but then hesitated.
This kind of thing…
It must be a huge secret.
Asking about it like this really wasn't appropriate.
But…
She really needed to become as strong as possible.
To break off the engagement…
Defeating that Phoenix in the Rating Game was the only chance.
And now…
Her strength was only that of an Upper-level Demon.
She only had two Retainers/Subordinates.
The chances of winning were practically negligible.
Looking at Rias, Shiho frowned.
Miss Rias seems to really long to become stronger.
And she has been taken care of by Miss Rias all this time.
Furthermore, given the relationship between Master and Miss Rias, she believed he wouldn't mind telling her about this.
However… was she creating a love rival for herself?
A complex look flashed in Shiho's eyes.
Childhood friends and all that…
The destructive power was simply too great.
"Ah, I lost my composure."
Hearing Rias's words, Shiho finally sighed.
