Xenovia and Abel walked towards the changing room.
"Why don't we continue our baby-making business?" Xenovia was a bit confused.
She had heard from Asia that boys wouldn't refuse someone like her.
Why did Abel lose interest after being interrupted?
Facing the somewhat confused Xenovia, Abel stretched, then waved his hand and said, "I don't have the interest right now, but there will always be time."
Xenovia nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Then when will that be?"
Abel's lips curved upwards, revealing a mischievous smile. "When the time is right, of course. For now, let's go change. I still have things to do later."
As he spoke, the two arrived at the changing room.
Abel walked towards the men's changing room.
Xenovia seemed to half-understand. It seemed she needed to consult Asia for advice.
Time passed little by little.
The physical test ended, and it was another day of rest.
Abel came to the school's rooftop, then leaned on the railing, looking down.
He spoke to his back, "You're here, come out, Vali."
"It's truly impossible to escape your perception, Abel."
The swaggering Vali appeared, then leaned against the railing.
Seeing his appearance, Abel knew that he had gone to meet Issei. Just a simple chat, some trash talk, and so on.
"How is Issei now?"
Speaking of which, after the Kokabiel incident, due to Vali's appearance, Issei became Elsha's disciple.
Vali shrugged, speaking flatly, "His strength is good, and he's growing very fast, but to defeat me, he'll need to train for a few more decades."
Abel smiled, teasing, "Oh, your tone is still so arrogant. Be careful not to be surpassed by Issei someday."
Vali snorted disdainfully, "That won't happen."
"Don't cry then."
"Get lost, can't you wish for something good?"
The two bickered, and time passed little by little.
As the breeze blew, Abel spoke again out of the blue, "Joined the Khaos Brigade?"
Vali was surprised. "How did you know?"
"The wind tells me everything."
Abel raised his hand, and the wind flowed around him, as if it had taken on a form.
Watching this scene, Vali smiled.
A Heretic God's ability.
Then Vali continued, "Let me give you a heads-up, the Old Satan Faction will assassinate the participants at the Three Faction Conference."
"I already know all of this, but will you make a move?"
"No, but I will have a fight with Issei."
"Then I'm really looking forward to it."
After Abel finished speaking, he prepared to leave the rooftop, but Vali suddenly spoke again at this moment.
"After the Three Faction Conference, let's find some time to spar. I want to see how strong you are as a Godslayer."
"No problem."
With that, Abel left.
As Abel left, Sun Wukong came to Vali's side. "You just told him? Aren't you afraid of a leak?"
"Don't worry, he wouldn't do that."
Vali said with certainty, then seemed to remember something.
"Sun Wukong, have you found someone suitable to join us?"
"We found them, but we were too late."
"Meaning?"
"They joined the Hero Faction."
...
Time passed little by little.
The sun set, and the sky was dyed golden.
Abel's home.
"I'm home."
Abel said, pushing open the door, but then he froze, only to see his living room in a mess. Kuroka was currently lying on the sofa, eating snacks.
At this moment, Abel's fists hardened a bit. He knew she was lazy and gluttonous but making a mess of the house was not allowed.
"Master, you're back. Do you want to eat some?" Kuroka asked.
Just as Abel was about to teach her a lesson, the sound of something falling came from the doorway.
Abel looked back and saw Grayfia standing expressionlessly at the door. On the ground were the ingredients she had bought.
Seeing Grayfia's expression, Abel knew she was angry and obediently moved out of the way.
Grayfia spoke calmly, "Kuroka."
Hearing the voice, Kuroka's fur bristled all over and she gulped, stiffly looking at Grayfia. "Th-that... Grayfia... I'll clean..."
Thump!
Before she could finish, a crisp sound rang out.
"Ma... Master, look."
Abel silently turned his back.
Hmm... The sky is so yellow.
Then, under Grayfia's death glare, Kuroka, who was forbidden to use magic, tearfully picked up a broom and began to clean.
...
Abel sat on the sofa, while the exhausted Kuroka lay on his lap, resting. Petting a cat is not as fun as petting a cat-eared girl.
After a while, Abel seemed to remember something and asked, "Kuroka, are you ready to explain things clearly to Koneko?"
Kuroka sat up.
Oh, right! She still had a younger sister.
"Koneko likes to play games and eat desserts. Go prepare now, I'll have her come over later."
Kuroka's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she immediately became energetic, bouncing off to prepare desserts and gaming equipment.
After a while, Kuroka was ready.
Abel pulled out Koneko's card, then injected demonic power into it.
At this moment, Koneko, who was playing games in the arcade, paused slightly, then put down the game in her hand and answered the summons.
Soon, Koneko appeared at Abel's house. She was about to speak habitually, but she froze the moment she saw Kuroka next to Abel.
Sister!
It really was her sister!
A hint of complex emotion flashed in Koneko's eyes.
"Long time no see, Shirone." Kuroka said.
Koneko's eyes reddened, and she murmured, "Why? Why did you abandon me back then? Why didn't you take me with you?"
Facing Koneko's questioning, Kuroka fell silent. In order to prevent her sister from becoming an experimental subject, she had killed their master. She didn't take her because she was afraid she couldn't protect her.
Looking at the sad Koneko, Kuroka slowly began to speak, "Back then..."
Abel left the room to the two of them.
