After entrusting the MyGO girls to Ijichi Hoshika, Baili left the Fanxing Performance Hall.
He walked onto the street, preparing to call Sakurajima Mai on his phone, while also thinking if there was a suitable training ground.
"Where should I go..."
A cemetery, perhaps?
After all, such eerie and strange places must contain many evil spirits.
While he was thinking, Baili heard a girl's scream.
"Ah!!!"
Baili looked ahead to see a blonde girl in a nun's habit and white veil cowering in a corner, with several hooligans standing in front of her.
"Hey, little sister, it's not safe to walk alone on this road."
A red-haired youth revealed a malicious smile, and his companions also burst into laughter, their eyes lingering on the girl.
The blonde girl, however, clutched her Bible tightly, a hint of fear in her eyes, but she did not back down.
She knew she couldn't show weakness.
Even though she wasn't good at handling such situations, the girl still mustered her courage.
"Please move aside, I have work to do next."
"Work? Don't do it, we can give you money!"
"No, this has nothing to do with money, please understand."
"Stop talking nonsense, come with us, we'll take you to a fun place!"
Seeing this scene, Baili grumbled internally.
It's a familiar routine... That being said, Baili didn't ignore it.
Before one of the hooligans could grab the girl's shoulder, he quickly walked up.
Mid-stride, he raised his right hand and swung it, directly slapping the other person from the side.
With a smack, the other person froze.
For a moment, he didn't know how to react.
Another person immediately looked at Baili, about to counterattack, but... the youth had just raised his fist, and the moment his eyes met Baili's, he suddenly stopped, swallowing hard with a look of fear.
"This time, this time we'll let it go!"
The hooligans immediately fled, taking their beaten companion with them.
"At least they have some sense."
"Um..."
"Are you alright?"
"I'm, I'm fine, thank you for helping me."
The blonde girl, who had been standing behind, composed herself.
She took out a card and said, "Sir, my name is Asia, Asia Argento."
"Just call me Baili."
"You are a good person."
"My neighbors all say so."
"You're quite the joker."
Asia was no longer nervous, but instead smiled.
Baili then briefly recalled something in his mind.
Asia Argento.
A very familiar name.
Like Rias, who had invited him before, she belonged to the work "High School DxD."
And she herself was even more beautiful than in the illustrations.
"Um..."
His thoughts were interrupted by the girl.
Baili looked back at the nun in front of him.
"Miss Asia, just say what's on your mind."
"Actually... I want to go to this place, but I'm lost. Could you please help me look?"
"No problem."
Baili then glanced at the card.
It had the address of the nearest Aquarium written on it.
Undoubtedly, Asia's storyline was also different from the original.
Baili, already used to it, told her to put the card away.
"I know where it is, and it's on my way. I'll take you there."
"Really? Thank you so much!"
"Do you want to leave now? Or do you want to rest for a bit?"
"It's fine, I'm not that fragile, and I don't want to delay Mr. Baili's time."
"I've been quite free lately."
Aside from taking Sakurajima Mai to practice later... The two, who did not stay put, immediately set off towards the Aquarium.
On the way, Baili asked the petite nun beside him.
"Miss Asia, what are you going there for? A date?"
"A, a date! No, no."
Asia, shaking her head in denial, blushed.
In this regard, she was indeed a pure nun.
"I'm going there for work, I wonder if the priest has arrived."
"A nun and a priest, could it be that Miss Asia is performing an exorcism?"
"Please allow me to skip this topic, I hope Mr. Baili doesn't mind."
"No problem."
Since Asia didn't want to talk about it, Baili wasn't going to ask more questions.
The two walked side by side like that.
Baili took the opportunity to introduce the city to Asia.
An amusement park somewhere;
A very popular arcade;
And the Aquarium they were about to go to, and so on.
"They all sound very interesting."
"Could it be that Miss Asia has never been to any of them?"
"Yes, I've never been to any of the places Mr. Baili mentioned."
"If you have time, I can take you."
"Really!"
Asia's eyes widened, her face full of anticipation.
But she quickly came back to her senses.
Her work;
Her identity;
Her shackles.
All these issues prevented her from living like a normal person.
So Asia quickly shook her head.
"I won't trouble Mr. Baili after all."
"Don't worry about it."
"It's me who should be saying that. Mr. Baili, it will take some time to take me there, may I do something for you?"
"This..."
Baili looked at Asia.
Petite, like a delicate doll.
How should he ask for a reward?
Baili couldn't help but grin mischievously.
Seeing this, Asia's expression became puzzled.
"Ahem."
Clearing his throat, Baili, feeling it wasn't the right time, waved his hand.
"Not now. Let's save it for next time we meet."
"Will there be a next time?"
"Who knows? Fate is quite interesting."
Moreover, Baili believed he could manipulate fate.
After their conversation, the two stood together on one side of the crosswalk, waiting for the traffic light.
Due to its proximity to the Aquarium, the surrounding area became densely populated.
When the green light appeared, Asia quickly stepped forward, but was suddenly bumped by a passerby from the side.
She stumbled, and just before she fell, Baili caught her by the shoulder, steadying her.
"Are you alright?"
Cared for again... Asia heard Baili's voice and felt the warmth of his hand through her shoulder, making her feel completely at ease.
She quickly responded.
"I'm fine, Mr. Baili. Thank you for protecting me just now."
"No need to thank me."
With that, Baili led Aixi to the other side of the street.
When he let go, Asia felt a pang of loss for some reason.
"Still can't stand steadily?"
Baili smiled as he looked at Asia.
"No problem!"
Asia, her face flushed, quickly replied, then picked up her pace slightly.
Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the Aquarium.
Asia looked at the signs around her, confirming that this was her destination.
"We've arrived... Mr. Baili, it's all thanks to you."
"The area around the Aquarium is very lively, and there are many people. You must be careful and stay safe."
"Thank you for your concern."
"Since we've arrived, I should go."
"Um...!"
Asia called out to Baili.
"Will we really meet again later?"
The young girl seemed a little reluctant to part.
To this, Baili gave an affirmative answer.
"We definitely will."
Baili was very certain.
Because, in his eyes, Asia was very suitable for the power of Chaos and Abundance.
