Asia successfully entered Kuoh Academy. With Rias's help, Asia's enrollment could be said to be very smooth.
One couldn't help but marvel at the power of authority; with a certain level of authority, one could truly do whatever one wanted.
Don't assume that Rias is just a student at Kuoh Academy; this entire area is almost entirely under Rias's management. She can achieve almost anything she sets her mind to.
Inaba Tsukiyo's daily life proceeded smoothly, while something did happen on Herrscher Tsukiyo's side. It was a video her residual consciousness left in the Honkai World, a glimpse into the future.
At that time, Herrscher Tsukiyo was playing a game with Ddraig, but this memory, which suddenly appeared in her mind, made Herrscher Tsukiyo freeze for a moment, and her controlled game character died because of it.
"Senior? What's wrong? What happened?"
Ddraig looked at Herrscher Tsukiyo in confusion. Herrscher Tsukiyo was always very focused when playing games, so why did she suddenly zone out?
Did something happen outside? No, Ddraig briefly glanced at the outside view and found that nothing had happened.
"It's nothing, just a little something that happened in the future of my world, which caught me off guard."
Herrscher Tsukiyo put down the controller, leaned back in her chair, covered her head, and looked up.
The image that had just appeared in her mind was of Himeko fighting K423, who was possessed by Sirin's will, in the future.
That was a story that happened in another world. Because she was the honkai will of the Honkai World, she would see anything that happened in any parallel world. However, she usually left ordinary matters to the residual will, only accepting important scenes.
"To think… humans could achieve this much. Ha! To fight against a god with a human body, and actually win in the end. Himeko, I, the honkai will, declare you the strongest."
"Senior?"
Ddraig looked at Herrscher Tsukiyo in confusion. Their interactions during this time made her realize that Herrscher Tsukiyo was a prominent figure from another world.
However, she didn't know that Herrscher Tsukiyo was a world consciousness, and she hadn't seen that memory like Herrscher Tsukiyo had, so she didn't understand what Herrscher Tsukiyo was lamenting about.
Herrscher Tsukiyo appraised Ddraig, and thinking that this fellow might stay with her inside Inaba Tsukiyo for a long time, she didn't hesitate to share that memory.
It was only a few tens of minutes of memory, but Ddraig was deeply moved by the unyielding spirit and will Himeko displayed while fighting the Second Herrscher.
"Although she is just an ordinary human, through her powerful will, she managed to reach a level where she could contend with a god. No wonder you praise her so much, Senior."
"Hmm. It's just… something is becoming increasingly frustrating."
Herrscher Tsukiyo covered her head. She found herself leaning more and more towards humanity recently. She was supposed to be the honkai will that wanted to destroy humanity, so why did she admire Himeko for the will she displayed?
'It seems I haven't been deeply influenced by Tsukuyo. Forget it, I've already accepted the fact that I'm a part of her, so why dwell on these thoughts now?'
Shaking her head, Herrscher Tsukiyo didn't intend to delve deeper into this matter. She had already seen that the humans of this century were very likely to achieve what the humans of the last century couldn't: to allow human society to continue.
"However… she really is a tenacious woman. She didn't die even after reaching that point. But surviving might not be a good thing; there are even bigger choices awaiting you all later."
Recalling the scene of Himeko lying in the Imaginary Space, Herrscher Tsukiyo's lips curved into a smile. It seemed the future of that world would be quite interesting.
Meanwhile, Inaba Tsukiyo, who was at home, received a call from Tachibana Koneko.
As soon as she answered, Tachibana Koneko's slightly panicked voice came through.
"Tsukuyo, something's wrong. The President, she's gone."
Rias was missing. She hadn't gone to Kuoh Academy all day, and her Servants, Himejima Akeno, Tachibana Koneko, and Kiba Yuuto, were practically frantic.
Rias wasn't the type of person to do such things normally. Usually, if she wanted to do something, she would tell her other Servants. Even if someone from her main family came, Himejima Akeno should have known.
But this time, Rias disappeared without leaving any message, causing Tachibana Koneko to search everywhere for her, having spent an entire day without finding her.
"Is that so? Rias disappeared. What's wrong? Do you want me to help look for her, Koneko?"
Inaba Tsukiyo's gentle tone calmed Tachibana Koneko, whose anxious mood gradually subsided.
"No need, Tsukuyo. I just wanted to tell you that I might be going with Akeno-senior and Yuto-senior to look for the President today. So I might not be able to come home tonight. I wanted to let you know in advance."
"Is that so? I understand. But you shouldn't push yourself too hard. If you're really tired, just come back. I've already given you the spare key to the house, so you can come back anytime."
"…Mm! I understand."
