Based on Caleb's understanding of Chisato Hasegawa, revealing her identity likely wouldn't be life-threatening, but it would certainly raise her guard. If he wanted to get closer to her or pursue her later, the difficulty would increase significantly. Chisato Hasegawa's appearance once again reshaped his understanding of this chaotic world. At the same time, his mindset, which had unconsciously grown arrogant due to his increase in strength, returned to a cautious stability. While ordinary threats no longer posed a danger, to pursue a true goddess like Chisato Hasegawa, his current level of strength was utterly insufficient.
After confirming Chisato Hasegawa's identity, Caleb ruled out any connection between her and Sakura Miyajima's transfer. That's a small gain, I guess...
Staring at the diligently working Chisato Hasegawa, Caleb couldn't help but let his mind wander. I wonder where Mio Naruse, the daughter of the former Demon Lord, is now. Speaking of which, are the Devil Worlds of the two different stories the same here? Rias's brother and Sona Shitori's sister are both among the current Four Great Satans. If Mio Naruse's father was also one of the Four Great Satans, would they know each other? No, wait... Caleb remembered that Mio Naruse didn't know her true heritage until her adoptive parents were killed and the powerful Loli Succubus came looking for her.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. When watching the anime, his attention was drawn to the snowy-white curves, long legs, and sexy outfits, so he wasn't very clear about the various political factions of the two worlds. Now that they were mixed, Caleb was even more bewildered.
He stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, then his body relaxed. He decided to just give up on the speculation. His random guesses were useless. If he truly wanted to know, he might as well ask Rias directly. If he were brave enough, he could also ask Chisato Hasegawa, one of the Ten Principal Gods, right now. Rias might not have access to all information, but that would never be the case for Chisato Hasegawa. Based on both power and status, Chisato Hasegawa was at the very top. There was nothing she couldn't access, only what she chose to ignore.
However, Caleb ultimately decided not to ask. Even if he got an answer, it wouldn't help his current situation at all. Rather than being curious about those powerful figures, he needed to seize the time and accelerate his own development. He was only B-rank. There were still A-rank, S-rank, and the Satan-Class (Demon Lord Class). Beyond the Satan-Class, there were many stronger tiers. Caleb didn't know the specific rankings, but he remembered that later on, the Satan-Class barely qualified as elite mooks.
"Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!" The dismissal bell rang, snapping Caleb out of his trance. Seeing that Chisato Hasegawa genuinely had no intention of questioning him further, a weight was temporarily lifted from his mind.
Caleb got off the bed and walked over to Chisato Hasegawa. He looked at her exquisite face and stunning figure, his eyes burning with lust. "Hasegawa-sensei, I'm well rested."
"Good. Be careful on your way back." Chisato Hasegawa smiled slightly, ignoring Caleb's intense gaze. Like any ordinary teacher, she instructed him, "If you feel unwell anywhere, come back right away."
Caleb nodded, pausing to admire the captivating sight beneath Chisato Hasegawa's legs. Before leaving, he kindly reminded her, "Hasegawa-sensei, try not to cross your legs so high next time."
Chisato Hasegawa was stunned for a moment, then subtly lowered her long legs. She hadn't been in her 'ordinary human' guise for very long, and some details were easy to overlook. Fortunately, only Caleb, who had skipped class, had been in the room. In order to maintain a professional image, she had been sitting or standing properly whenever other students came in.
Strangely, Chisato Hasegawa wasn't angry at the thought of Caleb seeing beneath her skirt. She only felt a slight sense of vexation. Caleb could have told her earlier, but he waited until he was leaving to say anything, after he had his fill of looking.
"What an interesting young man..." Looking at Caleb's retreating back, Chisato Hasegawa's lips curved slightly, revealing an expression of genuine curiosity. She had completely sealed her power and quietly come to the human world. No one knew this fact but herself. Yet, Caleb had uttered her true identity, and his eyes held a strange mix of longing, passion, and familiarity. After being intimidated by her aura, the heat in his eyes hadn't faded; instead, it became even more blatant and honest. Where does this little one get his courage...
After leaving the infirmary, Caleb went directly to the staff office. Since there were no better options for the moment, he figured he should at least try asking the teacher responsible for Sakura Miyajima.
"Knock, knock!"
"Come in."
"Excuse me, is Sato-sensei here?"
"Sato-sensei, a student is looking for you." Soon, a girl in black business attire and glasses came up to Caleb. She was reasonably cute and had a decent figure, but after being amazed by Chisato Hasegawa, she registered as merely average in Caleb's eyes.
Yumi Sato looked at the handsome, clean-cut young man in front of her. "I'm Sato. What can I help you with?"
After observing her closely and confirming that this girl with glasses was not some unfortunate Hentai teacher, Caleb spoke. "Sato-sensei, do you know where Sakura Miyajima-senpai transferred to?"
"Oh, it's this again..." Yumi Sato muttered softly. "I thought today I could finally have a forbidden romance with a student..."
Caleb raised an eyebrow, ignoring the second half of Yumi Sato's comment. "Again? Who else has asked you about this, Sato-sensei?"
"Oops, did you hear that?" Yumi Sato's face flushed. "I was just joking..."
"I'm not interested in your fetishes, Teacher, and I won't spread rumors." Caleb waved his hand, interrupting her explanation. "So, can you answer my question now?"
"Such an insensitive and rude handsome young man..." Yumi Sato was a little annoyed and couldn't help but start muttering again. Caleb rolled his eyes impatiently. He wasn't sure if Yumi Sato genuinely had a habit of talking to herself or if she was doing it on purpose.
"Ahem!"
"Alright." Yumi Sato stopped her soft complaints, sighed, and said, "Because Miyajima-san transferred so quickly, she didn't get a chance to say goodbye to anyone. Several people who were close to her have come to me to ask the same question."
"Specifically, who were they?"
"Most of them were her friends, classmates, or Kendo Club members." Yumi Sato glanced at Caleb and snorted lightly. "And a small number were admirers like you." Sakura Miyajima was quite popular at Kuoh Academy. While not as popular as Rias or Akeno Himejima, the title of 'Genius Kendo Beauty' still attracted a lot of attention. Caleb didn't bother to deny the misunderstanding that he was an admirer of Sakura Miyajima. The things he intended to do were not much different from pursuing her anyway.
"I see. Then, Sato-sensei, do you know where she transferred to?"
"Of course I know." Without waiting for Caleb to press further, Yumi Sato added, "But I can't tell you. The school has regulations. If you really want to know, you'll have to go to the Miyajima residence yourself to ask."
"Then, can you please tell me Miyajima-san's home address, Sato-sensei?" Caleb blinked. He had always been more inclined to go to her home than to find out which school she transferred to. The decision to transfer was not Sakura Miyajima's alone; her parents were the key. Moreover... Caleb also wanted to meet Sakura Miyajima's mother.
Yumi Sato looked at Caleb strangely. "You're an admirer of Miyajima-san, and you don't even know where she lives?"
"Huh? Is Miyajima-san's home address easy to find out?"
"The Miyajima family runs a Kendo dojo. It's quite famous and has many students. You only need to ask around a bit to find out."
Facing Yumi Sato's suspicious gaze, Caleb shrugged. "Since that's the case, Sato-sensei, just tell me directly. It'll save me the trouble of asking others."
After considering it, Yumi Sato decided it wasn't a secret worth keeping and told Caleb the location and name of the Miyajima family's dojo.
"Thank you, Sato-sensei." Caleb waved happily. Sometimes being a little more direct was good. If he had known it would be this easy, why would he have thought so much? Well, at least it's not too late.
"Oh, by the way." Taking two steps, Caleb turned back, staring at Yumi Sato with a bright smile. "If you genuinely want a forbidden romance, I can help you with that, you know~"
