However...
Thinking of her own condition.
It doesn't seem impossible.
Just as Shiho was about to take action, the villa's doorbell rang.
"Hmm?"
Shiho and the others looked at each other, their expressions becoming somewhat subtle.
Could there be guests here too?
"I'll go open the door."
Asia walked towards the door, staggering slightly.
Creak—
As the door opened.
A tall figure wearing a shrine maiden outfit came into view.
Asia blinked, "Miss Akeno, is something the matter?"
She looked her up and down, her eyes full of confusion.
This was the first time she had seen Miss Akeno in such an outfit.
"Yes."
"I'm here to find Junior Linde."
Led inside by Asia, Akeno looked at the beautiful figures and felt a bit dazed.
How much time has passed since then?
What kind of feeling is this?
Many people haven't seen it before?
And...
His gaze flickered, and as he looked at those listless figures, his expression became somewhat complex.
Ah... it's very similar to President Rias's state back then.
This guy, Alex.
His appetite is really getting better and better.
On the other side.
Shiho and the others exchanged glances.
Miss Akeno... has dressed up carefully.
It seems there's no need to look for Esdeath and the others.
Vermouth smiled and said: "If you're looking for Master, she happens to be upstairs right now. Go ahead yourself."
Yuuko Kanoe nodded repeatedly and chimed in: "That's right, Akeno Senpai, you should hurry up. Master is very busy; if you delay, he might just leave."
Akeno: "..."
What's going on?
Isn't this a bit too enthusiastic?
It just feels...
Like they are even more impatient than I am.
If I didn't know them so well, I would have suspected there was some kind of conspiracy.
After thanking them, Akeno headed upstairs.
The second floor!
Alex stretched, sensing his own state.
"Hmm, not bad at all."
"If I keep working this hard, I should be able to level up again soon."
Taking a look at his attribute panel, Alex smiled with satisfaction.
However...
Thinking of those noobs among his Dependents, he shook his head again.
Forget it.
I should go to the Otherworld.
Just as he thought this, he heard footsteps approaching.
"???"
Alex raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat puzzled.
What's this?
Are his Dependents actually more strong-willed than he imagined?
But when the figure appeared, Alex was stunned.
What met his eyes was none other than Akeno, dressed in a shrine maiden outfit.
Her soft black hair was tied into a single ponytail, naturally cascading down to her waist.
On her exquisite and charming face, her fair skin was as delicate as white jade.
Her figure was full and tall, and the white shrine maiden outfit had to be left open at the front, leaving room for those bursting contours.
Beneath the bright red skirt, her plump, jade-like legs emitted a faint luster under the light.
"Hiss..."
Alex gasped, already feeling a sense of respect.
I have to say.
Akeno is definitely one of the strongest people he knows.
Her strength is at least at the fifth letter.
And the shrine maiden outfit added a touch of sexiness.
As if sensing Alex's burning gaze, Akeno's pretty face flushed slightly.
She hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Junior Linde, actually, I came here because there is something I need to ask of you."
As she spoke, she felt her cheeks heating up slightly.
Looking at her, Alex smiled and said: "Whatever it is, just say it."
Upon hearing Alex's agreement, as if reacting to a stimulus, Akeno's skin was already flushed pink.
But she still spoke: "Junior Linde, I want to become stronger, to become a High-Class Devil as soon as possible, or even a stronger existence."
"I naturally have no problem with that."
Alex said: "I just don't know if you realize what this implies."
"I am naturally aware."
Akeno nodded vigorously: "President Rias has already told me everything."
Long before coming here.
She had already made up her mind.
Tap, tap, tap!
Akeno took agile steps and arrived in front of Alex.
"Junior Linde, although this request is a bit presumptuous, thank you very much for being willing to help me."
Pushing Alex to sit on the windowsill, she looked at him with watery eyes and a flushed face, making her request.
Facing Akeno's request, Alex immediately expressed his willingness with actions.
Come to think of it.
He owed Akeno Senpai quite a favor.
Back then.
The foundation for Dependents like Shiho and the others was all laid by Akeno.
"Mmm... Junior Linde, your strength is so great..."
Akeno's eyelids trembled, and her head hung down along with her long hair.
"That goes without saying."
"Shiho and the others only improved so quickly because of my special training."
Alex gave her a head pat, a smile forming on the corner of his mouth.
