Upon hearing this answer, Asia couldn't help but swallow hard.
Because they are about to fight them.
Asia knew very well that there was no other choice.
If peace negotiations were effective, Rias wouldn't want Hyakuri to take everything away from her.
"Baili-jun, this ranking game involves fighting in a realm created by demons, right?"
"Yes."
“Since it is the domain of demons, I think there may be things that are beneficial to them.”
There is a certain probability.
"Furthermore... to participate in the ranking game, both parties must be high-ranking demons and their subordinates, but we don't have that status."
"Don't worry about that."
After listening to Mai Sakurajima's question, Baili raised his right hand and extended his index finger.
"There is only one thing we need to do: fight them, nothing more."
"Huh? Baili-kun means... skipping the so-called ranking game?"
“That’s right, because we are not demons, we don’t need to follow their rules.”
After listening, Mai felt that Baili's explanation seemed to make sense...
rule?
That belongs to someone else.
They have their own rules.
Asia couldn't help but complain from the side.
"Mr. Baili seems more like a demon right now, breaking the other party's rules and ignoring their demands..."
"Am I that scary?"
"No, it's not scary! It's actually quite cool!"
Asia quickly added.
Baili then patted her head.
"Don't think too much about it now, let's take care of lunch first."
"I'll go cook right now!"
"No need, just order takeout. Save your energy for this afternoon's operation."
"It's okay, it doesn't require much physical exertion. It feels less strenuous than activities at night."
After saying this with a blush on her face, Asia ran straight to the kitchen.
There were the ingredients she and Mai had bought before, as well as new kitchen utensils, so making a hearty lunch with them wouldn't be a problem.
Seeing this, Baili did not stop them and chose to wait for Asia to prepare the dish herself.
During this time, he turned on the TV and saw some news about supernatural events again.
At the same time, Yukino and Miko, who had previously contacted each other by phone, also rang the doorbell.
The two women met at the station by sheer coincidence, which is why they appeared together at the entrance.
Mai, who was in charge of opening the door, handed out two pairs of indoor shoes to the guests at the entrance and then led them into the living room.
"excuse me."
Yukino nodded in acknowledgment.
"We're here, Mr. Baili!"
Seeing the child, he was somewhat excited. (The last line appears to be a string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)
After having the two women seated, Baili turned off the television and re-explained the afternoon's operations to them.
After listening to the story, the girls all showed serious expressions.
They had just dealt with the evil spirits, and now they had to fight the demons.
"If it means coming into contact with demons, I am willing to go with them."
Yukino, on the contrary, became even more interested at this moment.
"I want to become stronger!"
Miko has transformed from a high school girl who can see ghosts into a character resembling a hot-blooded male protagonist...
Since everyone agrees, there's nothing more to say.
"After lunch, you can practice a bit more, and then... head straight to Komaoh Town."
The future action plan has been officially finalized.
Kooh Town, Kooh Academy.
Rias was a little nervous when she arrived at the Mysticism Research Club's activity room.
Seeing her like this, Himejima Akeno remained calm as always and brewed a cup of refreshing black tea.
He placed it in front of Rias and then spoke softly.
"Rias, are you worried?"
"Yes, does that mean Akeno isn't worried at all?"
After asking the question, Rias picked up her black tea.
It was a little hot, so she took a small sip to calm herself down.
“Riser Phoenix, there is no doubt that he possesses great power and has a large following. We don’t have much of a chance of winning against them in a ranking game.”
Even if we include Baili Jun?
“Baili Jun is very strong, and I also hope that he can change all of this, which is why I said ‘I’ll wait for you’ that night, but…”
"But what is it?"
"Ranking games require corresponding high-level demons and demonized followers, and Baili Jun and his group do not meet this requirement."
Rias put down the black tea she had just taken a sip of.
"If we were to fight using other methods, it would definitely attract even more attention from the Underworld..."
"That's true, but I believe we'll definitely find a way in time." (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
Himejima Akeno was very confident.
At least she believed in Baili's power.
At this moment, the little cat from Tacheng sat up.
She, who had just been lying down playing video games, joined the conversation.
"There's another way..."
The kitten continued...
"Ranking games exist in both formal and informal forms."
"that is……"
Rias only remembered after hearing what the kitten said.
As a high-ranking demon, and a pure-blooded one at that, she naturally wouldn't know anything about unofficial ranking games.
But the kitten is very clear about this.
“Baili… can join the battle, and then he will defeat the opponent.”
Why is the kitten so sure?
"Sixth sense?"
The kitten tilted its head, giving an ambiguous answer.
This conversation made Rias chuckle.
"Doesn't Rias have a sixth sense like a cat?"
"Yes, I have one too."
Rias stood up and looked at the sky outside Kuoh Academy.
"As for Baili Jun... there will definitely be no problem."
In the afternoon.
Baili led the girls to the gate of Kuoh Academy.
The person in charge of greeting them was Himejima Akeno.
She looked at Baili and the girls behind him with a hint of surprise.
Because there's another beautiful girl traveling with Baili.
Isn't this too fast?
Akeno Himejima recalled Rias's efficiency in recruiting familiars.
So far, it's just her and Tacheng Cat.
Compared to the other two, Rias seemed like a newbie, completely unable to catch up with a veteran like Baili.
In just a few days, he gained several more family members.
In Himejima Akeno's eyes, the girls who possessed the power given to them by Hyakusato were similar to the familiars of a demon.
Thinking this, she smiled and greeted them.
"Welcome to Kuoh Academy, Hyakuri-kun, and ladies, please follow me."
"Where is Rias?"
"She's waiting in the activity room."
