He did not choose to travel with them this time.
I'm getting ready to spend some leisurely time alone.
It feels like it's been ages since I last had a drink.
Baili was wondering whether to go to the convenience store to buy a bottle when his vibrating phone caught his attention.
Upon opening it, I found that the letter was from Yotsuya Miko.
The content is a simple action report.
[Yotsuya Miko: Mr. Hyakusato, good evening. I hope my message didn't bother you. Since I received power from you, I feel the world has changed, and I even have control over my eyes that used to be able to see evil spirits!]
Simply put, Yotsuya Miko can prevent herself from looking at those scary and strange things.
[Yotsuya Miko: However, I haven't shut down this power. Unlike in the past when I hated these eyes, now I want to use them to observe the world.]
[Yotsuya Miko: Most importantly...! Even if I encounter evil spirits, I'm confident I can defeat them! I'll make them all crumble in my hands!]
[Yotsuya Miko: Of course I won't use this power casually, because it seems like a huge burden. Then... I'll need to replenish my mana, which would be a trouble for Hyakusou-senpai.]
Baili was quite happy to agree.
[Yotsuya Miko: Anyway... please forgive me for thanking you again via text message! I just didn't want to disturb Mr. Hyakuri, who is probably resting right now!]
Looking at this content, Baili's reply was simple.
[Bai Li: See you at the school's clubroom tomorrow.]
Then she can go with Mai and Yukino to fight the evil spirits.
Then the three of them replenished their mana together.
However, this arrangement has a drawback.
The evil spirits in this city may not be enough.
There's no way around it; evil spirits aren't NPCs in a game, they'll definitely respawn after a while.
Once an area is purified, the evil spirits either dare not regroup, or they all flee.
It's necessary to explore new leveling spots.
For example, the otherworldly places I saw on the Star Train.
Thinking of this, Baili put away his phone and prepared to buy a bottle of wine.
But new information soon arrived.
This time, it was a private message sent by Akeno Himejima through a chat group.
[Himejima Akeno: Good evening, Mr. Hyakuri.]
Unexpectedly, Himejima Akeno contacted him, so Hyakuri returned to the sofa in the living room and sat down to reply slowly.
[Hyakuri: Good evening, Ms. Himejima. Contacting me at this hour, you're probably not inviting me to dinner, are you?]
[Himejima Akeno: I wish there was such an opportunity.]
[Baili: I'd be happy to.]
[Himejima Akeno: I will definitely invite Mr. Hyakuri when I have time, but before that, I have a favor to ask.]
[Baili: The Demon's Request...?]
[Himejima Akeno: That's right. As payment... I accept all of Hyakuri-san's requests.]
Upon seeing this, Hyakuri understood the importance of Himejima Akeno's conversation.
[Himejima Akeno: Before that, I'll call Rias over. Please wait a moment.]
[Baili: No problem.]
Ding dong——!
Before Himejima Akeno could call Rias, the doorbell of Hyakusato's apartment rang instead.
Mai and Asia both have the key, so it can't be them.
Baili ruled out all possibilities as he approached the entrance and opened the door.
"Hello……"
"Bailijun!"
As soon as the door opened, the red-haired girl standing at the door rushed into Baili's arms the moment she saw him.
"Rias?"
"Lord Baili... I have a request!"
Rias, who had just arrived, straightened up, grabbed Hyakuri's right hand, and placed it on her chest.
As Baili felt the softness from the palm, he also felt his heart pounding faster.
Rias exhaled a hot breath and said loudly.
"Take everything away from me!"

Rias suddenly arrives and makes a request.
Baili immediately realized what had happened.
In this crossover anime world, some plot points have changed, while others remain the same.
At this point in the story, Rias's fiancé is probably forcing her into marriage.
Bai Li looked at the wide-open apartment door, stood in the entryway, put his arm around Rias's shoulder, and led her to the bedroom.
No, it's currently in the living room.
The moment the two sat down, they received a message from Akeno Himejima.
[Himejima Akeno: Hyakuri-kun, I'm sorry... It happened so suddenly. I discovered Rias isn't in her room, and we don't know where she is. Neko doesn't know either. I'll call her right now!]
[Bai Li: No need to trouble yourself, Rias is right here with me.]
[Himejima Akeno: ? ? ? What does that mean?]
[Bai Li uploaded a photo.]
After receiving the package, Himejima Akeno saw the two people sitting side by side.
[Akino Himejima: Rias?]
[Baili: Rias found my apartment through the location information in the chat group, so there's no need to worry about her disappearing for now.]
[Himejima Akeno: Since Rias is with Hyakuri-kun... I see... Well then, I'll leave the rest to Rias to explain herself. I won't bother her anymore.]
After saying that, Himejima Akeno stopped sending private messages.
Having confirmed this, Baili tossed his phone onto a nearby low table and looked at Rias.
“Let’s talk about the problems you’re facing in detail, Miss Rias.”
Baili then added a sentence
"In my opinion, simply taking everything away from you is not enough."
Chapter 53 Heading to Kuoh Academy, Overturning the Demon World and its Rules
At the Hyakusei residence, facing Rias, whose hopes have been taken away, the two decide to have a serious talk.
Rias, who arrived unexpectedly, did not hide this from them.
After Baili brought two glasses of water back to the living room, she began to explain the problems she was currently facing.
Previously, under pressure from her family, Rias was forced to get engaged to Riesel Phoenix, the third son of the Phoenix family, one of the 72 Pillars and a high-ranking demon.
However, he did not like her and expressed his intention not to marry Riesel.
However, this desire will not change the status quo.
Because she wasn't the only one who could decide the outcome of this matter.
Behind them is the entire Gremory family.
So Rias came up with a solution.
If Baili were to take everything from her, Riesel might just give up on the engagement!
After all, Rias knew very well that Riesel was a lecherous man who valued family honor and also had a strong possessive nature.
Once they find out that Rias has already given her virginity to someone else, they will most likely feel disgusted and eventually break off the engagement, giving Rias true freedom.
“I know Raisel’s temperament; whether before or after the engagement, I basically won’t see him.”
Rias frowned.
“Apart from banquets of demon nobles, I usually choose to act with Juno and the others, and with the other young ladies of demon nobles, Riesel can’t just get close to them.”
"It seems that Miss Rias really dislikes that guy."
"Riser is just a high-ranking demon who relies on his status and special abilities, and is completely ignorant and incompetent. His character and strength are completely unworthy of him."
"So, Riesel is quite powerful?"
Baili picked up his cup, revealing an expression of interest.
He hadn't fought an undead demon yet, so he needed to have some fun with it.
And Rias confirmed Baili's question.
"Although I don't want to admit it, he is indeed very strong. Even though his followers are all women, their overall strength is beyond doubt. In particular, his immortality ability is among the best, even among high-ranking demons."
"Has Miss Rias ever fought him? That Raiser."
"No, but I have investigated his record in ranked games, and he has never actually lost to anyone."
The power of immortality emboldened Riser.
Furthermore, since his family is the Phoenix family, a high-ranking demon family, Riesel is so arrogant.
“I don’t want to clash with him or the Phoenix family behind him over this, which is why I wanted to use this method…”
