Ever since Bai Li created the chat group, in less than a week, his exclusive chat room with Sakurajima Mai became a public chat space.
For example, the newly joined Yukino Yukinoshita.
Besides occasionally sending photos of the Memory Spirit Cat, she would also inquire about the past experiences of the group members.
Asia recounted her past;
Sakurajima Mai spoke of her forgotten self;
Rias, Himejima Akeno, and Toujou Koneko also responded more or less.
And after one chat, Rias suddenly tagged everyone in the group.
[Rias: Everyone, these two days are holidays. We just received a request, the destination is the beach, to solve problems caused by Stray Devils there. I wonder if Bai Li-kun would like to come along? You don't have to exert yourself, you can just treat it as an activity for us to get to know each other better.]
Seeing these words, Bai Li, sitting on the sofa, became interested.
Coincidentally, he had nothing to do on this holiday.
He couldn't always take Mai and Asia to purify evil spirits in the city.
[Bai Li: Sure, I think Mai and Asia would both agree.]
[Sakurajima Mai: I just finished showering. I find Rias-san's invitation very interesting. Asia is right next to me, and she's also very interested.]
[Bai Li: Then it's settled. Also... Yukino Yukinoshita, how is Yukinoshita-san's situation?]
Yukino Yukinoshita: I'm sorry, but these past two days there's been a banquet my father is attending, and my mother wants my sister and I to go.
Rias: Yukinoshita-san has an older sister?
Yukino Yukinoshita: Yes, she does.
Rias: I have an older brother.
Himejima Akeno: If Yukinoshita-san isn't coming... hmm, we probably don't need to change the villa reservation. It's only for one day and one night anyway.
Toujou Koneko: It's big enough.
Yukino Yukinoshita: If there's a next time, please be sure to invite me again.
Just like that, besides attending social events with his parents, Bai Li-kun made an agreement with Rias.
The meeting time was set for eleven o'clock, approaching noon.
Once they arrived at the destination, they could have lunch together.
Putting down his phone, Bai Li-kun looked up at the second floor.
"Mai, Aixi, hurry and change your clothes, get ready to leave. The meeting spot is about a fifteen-minute drive from us."
"Alright!"
"Please wait!"
After the girls replied, Bai Li-kun, remembering something, spoke to the second floor again.
"Remember to bring both the reverse bunny girl outfits and the nun outfits."
"Wait, Bai Li-kun, you mean...!"
"If they get ruined, I'll buy you new ones."
"Honestly!"
After Sakurajima Mai on the second floor finished speaking, she quietly asked Aixi where the previous reverse bunny girl outfits were.
Another ten minutes passed before the girls were finally ready.
The time spent was much shorter than Bai Li-kun had imagined.
After all, many people say that it takes at least half an hour for girls to get ready before going out.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Sakurajima Mai came into the living room.
She had changed into a casual outfit.
Her upper body wore a light summer shirt, the hem cleverly tied at the waist, subtly revealing a touch of casual charm.
Her lower body was paired with classic blue jeans, outlining her long leg lines. The overall look was both casual and stylish, truly befitting a former idol who knows how to dress well.
Aixi, next to her, had chosen a simple white long dress, its hem adorned with light blue ruffles, giving it an overall cute style.
Seeing the two carefully dressed girls, Bai Li-kun stood up.
"You both look very pretty. Are those the clothes you bought earlier?"
"That's right."
"What about swimsuits? Since we're going to the beach, so..."
"We bought those too."
Sakurajima Mai made an OK gesture, seemingly having prepared for this for a long time... The three immediately left the apartment and drove to the rendezvous point with Rias and the others.
Upon arriving at their destination, they saw Rias, Akeno, and Koneko waiting there.
Rias, her entire body wrapped in a light purple long dress and wearing a sun hat, waved at Bai Li-kun.
"We meet again, Bai Li-kun."
"Please take care of me this time, Miss Rias."
"The pleasure is ours."
Himejima Akeno also stepped forward.
"Welcome to join us. Please get in the car now."
"There's air conditioning and milk in the car."
Koneko pointed to the refrigerator inside the car, beginning to introduce the delicious things.
After everyone was seated, the vehicle started and immediately drove towards their destination.
Rias then took out a map.
"Although this job should be quite easy, for safety's sake, it's better to explain it."
"Some Stray Devils can be very cunning, you know."
Akeno finished speaking, her gaze falling on the map.
Bai Li-kun, Mai, and Aixi all focused their attention on the marked location.
"This beach belongs to a resort that's halfway developed, and our client is the boss responsible for the development. She hopes we can drive away the Stray Devils lurking in the buildings on the northwest side of the resort."
Rias pointed to the corresponding location.
"This area was originally a village. After the developer bought it, everyone moved out, and now half of it hasn't been demolished, becoming a hiding place for those Stray Devils."
"Don't these Stray Devils worry about being targeted? If they always stay in the same place."
Aixi, to Bai Li-kun's right, looked puzzled.
"Perhaps they have a reason. We also plan to investigate thoroughly."
Himejima Akeno cupped her face, also appearing somewhat perplexed.
Unlike her, Koneko's thoughts were quite simple.
"Find them, kill them, and that's it."
Clearly, Koneko was the combat-oriented member of Rias's team.
Subsequently, Rias explained the dangers and the hiding houses indicated by the boss.
"Once we're done, the remaining time is for enjoyment."
Rias fast-forwarded directly to the end of the work.
"Let's enjoy this hunt and vacation, Bai Li-kun."
"I have no objections."
Compared to constantly purifying ghosts, fighting Stray Devils clearly improves combat power more.
Besides that—
Bai Li-kun really likes swimsuit play...
