Chapter 36 - Chapter 36 — Taking a Breather

Even though most of Riser Phenex's servants were mediocre, when combined together they still formed a force that could not be underestimated.

Thinking about it, Qin Xiao felt a little excited.

However, for now there was still some time before Riser would make his appearance.

"Hey," Rias Gremory said.

"Now that you've broken through, do you have anything else to do?"

"Anything else? No."

"Then let's go back."

"Alright."

Although he agreed, Qin Xiao didn't really want to return just yet.

After all, he lived in a 1DK apartment.

And the rent would expire in just a few days.

Without realizing it, he had already been in this world for one month.

But honestly—

He really didn't want to renew the lease on that tiny apartment.

It was simply too small.

Soon, under Rias' teleportation magic circle, the three of them were transported back to her residence.

The moment they arrived—

Rias called out.

"Akeno."

"Yes, President. I understand."

Akeno Himejima stood up with practiced ease.

She prepared tea and brought out several plates of snacks.

Qin Xiao had already noticed something.

Rias really loved black tea.

Every time he saw her, she seemed to be drinking it.

"Oh right, Akeno."

"I have something I'd like to ask you."

"Hm? What is it?"

Hearing his words, Akeno turned toward him.

Currently, Qin Xiao's novel publishing affairs were all handled by her.

Because of that alone—

He already owed her one favor.

"Well… the lease for my apartment expires in a couple of days."

"And I'm not as short on money as before."

"So I want to rent a larger apartment."

"But I'm not familiar with Kuoh Town."

"So I was hoping you could help me look for one."

Akeno raised an eyebrow.

"Even something like finding an apartment, you want to leave to someone else?"

Qin Xiao laughed.

"Well… I have acquaintances now."

Akeno sighed helplessly.

"Fine."

"I'll keep an eye out for you."

"Thank you very much."

Qin Xiao smiled brightly.

Akeno shook her head with a small sigh.

Meanwhile—

Sitting beside them, Rias quietly watched the exchange.

For some reason—

The black tea in her cup suddenly didn't taste as good anymore.

After all—

This was her house.

Still, as she looked at Qin Xiao, Rias nodded inwardly.

He had talent.

He had strength.

He was also good-looking.

And most importantly—

He had no powerful background or faction.

To Rias, someone like him was practically the perfect partner candidate.

Combined with the things Akeno had told her earlier—

She was truly starting to consider it seriously.

At this moment—

Qin Xiao had no idea.

That he had already become someone's target.
