Watching Hiro's figure disappear, the smile on Akeno's face slightly faded as she looked at her friend and master beside her, who had a helpless expression.
"Rias, what do you think of Hiro?"
"He could become an excellent servant; it's just a pity..."
Looking in the direction Hiro had disappeared, Rias sighed, shook her head, and there was a lot of regret in her tone besides helplessness.
As an ordinary human, defeating Kiba Yuuto, who hadn't used his full strength, without using any magic, spells, or curses to enhance himself, was enough to demonstrate Hiro's strength.
Moreover, according to Koneko:
"His movements were several times faster than when I saw him yesterday."
"As expected, Hiro is also a sacred gear user, and most likely a combat-type sacred gear."
Rias deeply believed Koneko's judgment, her tone quite emotional.
When it came to choosing servants, Rias Gremory had always adhered to the principle of "better to have none than a bad one," and she also insisted on choosing them herself.
Those with bad character or poor compatibility would not be looked upon favorably by her.
It was precisely because of this that she hadn't yet gathered a full set of evil pieces at her age.
Otherwise, with her status, she could easily collect many excellent "pieces."
And this person, Hiro, his strength had already been verified by Kiba Yuuto; through their interaction just now, Rias could also understand that he wasn't a person with bad character.
The only problem was...
He held a very strong wariness and aversion towards becoming her servant and being reincarnated as a "devil."
As for that last "husband" remark, Rias simply took it as Hiro's jest and didn't take it to heart.
"But, since he's so outstanding, isn't it a bit too much of a waste to just give up like this?"
"That's right, President." Koneko nodded, softly agreeing with Akeno's opinion.
"He's my classmate, and we sit near each other in class. There are no student council members in our class, so there are many opportunities."
There are many opportunities, so it's too early to give up now-
Rias, as her master, naturally understood the meaning behind Koneko's words.
Indeed, with Koneko, there might still be a chance to reincarnate him as my servant.
If I miss this opportunity, who knows when I'll find a suitable servant next time.
Rather than giving up early, it's better to let Koneko try...
Thinking for a moment, Rias decided to follow Koneko's suggestion.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Koneko. However, if he makes any unreasonable requests to you, just refuse him directly. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, understand?"
Reaching out and gently ruffling Koneko's hair, Rias chuckled softly as she instructed.
"Understood." Koneko slightly narrowed her eyes, showing an expression like a cat being scratched under the chin.
"But, if you really want to take him in as a servant, wouldn't it be better for Rias to make an appearance herself? Nanamiya-kun just said that as long as he can become your husband, he's willing to be reincarnated as your servant."
Akeno next to her showed a hint of teasing.
"Being able to gain both a servant and a husband, such a win-win situation, it's truly enviable~~"
"If you're envious, why don't you go?"
Rias rolled her eyes at Akeno.
Moreover, becoming her husband...
without any background, he couldn't withstand the Phoenix family's retaliation.
Thinking of the engagement she was burdened with, Rias couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart.
"Nanamiya-kun was talking about Rias's husband, not my husband, Akeno. How could I?"
Hiro, who had already walked far away, was completely unaware of the bickering between Rias and Akeno.
"Nanamiya-kun."
Just as he walked out of the old school building's range, a rather servant voice reached Hiro's ears.
Following the sound, Asuna, holding a small bag and standing timidly at the boundary between the old and new school buildings, immediately came into his view.
Hmm? What's going on?
Raising an eyebrow, Hiro quickened his pace by a third and came to Asuna's side, asking with some confusion:
"Asuna, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"
Although under her insistent request, Hiro had changed his address from "Yuuki" to "Asuna," he wasn't sure how long it would take to enter the real devil's nest, so naturally, he wouldn't let Asuna wait for him.
"It's okay, I haven't been waiting for too long anyway." Walking on his right, Asuna smiled sweetly and explained softly, as if comforting him:
"Actually, yesterday I told my father about this, and then for some reason, my father still didn't agree with Mother's approach. He just told me to try to accompany you after school, as if he sees you as some kind of psychic."
A psychic, huh...
if you really put it that way, it doesn't seem wrong?
After hearing Asuna's explanation, Hiro nodded silently, pondering to himself:
However, letting his daughter accompany a student of the same age, especially after experiencing such danger, is quite difficult to understand from a common-sense perspective.
So... Yuuki Shouzou seems to really understand some of the inside information of the "underworld"?
Then why is he using Asuna to make contact? Doesn't he have his own means in this regard?
"That place just now, was that the old school building of Kuoh Academy? Tomoko and the others said that it seems to be the activity room of the Occult Research Club. The current president is Rias Gremory-senpai, a very popular beautiful red-haired foreigner in Kuoh Academy. Did you join that club with Koneko-chan, Nanamiya-kun?"
"No, Koneko-chan did want me to join, but I refused."
Hiro looked at the curious girl beside him and shook his head.
"Eh? Why? The president and vice-president are both very beautiful women. Why would Nanamiya-kun refuse? Shouldn't boys in their puberty be very interested in this kind of club?"
Girl, there are too many things wrong with that sentence, I don't even know where to start...
"Well, Rias-senpai and Akeno-senpai are both top-notch beauties, and their figures are also far more developed than their peers, but..."
Speaking to this point, Hiro deliberately paused for a moment, piquing the girl's curiosity.
"But?"
"But, I've been seeing beauties of their level since I was a child!"
Thinking of his busty blonde mother, the expression on Hiro's face was slightly strange:
Long red straight hair (Rias), long black straight hair (Akeno, etc.), long silver straight hair (Rossweisse), long blonde straight hair (mother), long white straight hair (Sona's peerage), the lineup for the five-color ranger team is complete.
