The next morning.
As the sunlight streamed into the room, Abel slowly woke up under its illumination.
Rubbing his eyes, Abel smiled as he looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka embracing him. He had to admit that Shizu Kawaii was quite wild.
And so bold.
Abel sat up, preparing to open last night's Familiar Gift Pack.
As the system screen lit up.
[Familiar Gift Pack is opening]
[Congratulations to the Host for acquiring the Talent: All-Weapon Mastery]
"Hiss~ Not bad. The close-combat issue has been resolved."
Abel was very satisfied.
Then he opened the panel, routinely padding the word count.
[Host: Abel Astaroth.]
[Bloodline: Pureblood Devil.]
[Abilities: Conqueror Formula, All-Around Magic, Magic Spring (Blessing of the Homeland), Annihilation Magic, Mangekyo Sharingan (Obito), Sun Breathing, All-Weapon Mastery.]
[Sacred Gear: Azure Innovation Garden Box, Ultimate Karma]
[Items: Senzu Bean Tree, Gourmet Tablecloth.]
[Familiars: Grayfia (Mutated Queen), Miko (Pawn), Kochou Kanae (Knight), Elsa (Mutated Pawn 8), Yurikawa Hana (Pawn), Shizuka Hiratsuka (Pawn), Asia (Bishop)]
[Permanent World: Demon Slayer.]
"Not bad. After the Rating Game, I'll make a trip to Demon Slayer. Muzan should be coming out to sunbathe soon."
Abel nodded, then closed the panel.
Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was still pretending to sleep, Abel smiled.
Then he got up and walked towards the bathroom.
After Abel left, Shizuka Hiratsuka opened her eyes, then buried her face in the pillow.
Recalling the absurd events of last night.
Shizuka Hiratsuka lay on the bed, her legs trembling slightly from shyness.
However, given Abel's proficiency, he must have 'corrupted' quite a few girls.
Alas~
She got on the 'thief's carriage'. There was nothing she could do since she chose it herself.
...
Time passed little by little.
Inside the Occult Research Club.
Sona and Rias waited for the visitors from the Underworld, as well as for Abel.
Sona's Familiars and Abel's Familiars were all in the Student Council, as the Student Council also had access to the magic broadcast.
"Rias, are you confident you can defeat Riser?"
"Of course, I am. Otherwise, this week of devilish training would have been for nothing."
Facing Sona's question, Rias said as a matter of course.
She wouldn't even look at who trained her.
Grayfia, the strongest Annihilation Witch in the Underworld.
If she couldn't win, she wouldn't dare to see Grayfia and Abel.
Kiba and the others beside her also nodded.
Although it was only a few short days, everyone's strength had actually increased significantly, especially that guy Issei.
First, Pikachu, then being tempered by Elsa.
After seven full days of beatings, Issei stated that his temper was very high now.
At this moment, a teleportation circle representing Abel appeared.
"Everyone, how prepared are you?"
Abel appeared in the Research Club with Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Seeing an extra person beside Abel, and a beautiful woman at that, Rias and Sona looked at him with resentful eyes.
Abel felt a little uncomfortable under their gaze and quickly explained: "This is Shizuka Hiratsuka, my Familiar. From now on, everyone will be comrades."
"Hello everyone, I am my Master's Pawn."
Shizuka Hiratsuka also introduced herself.
When Abel brought Shizuka Hiratsuka, he had explained some things to her, and hearing about the Devil's competition, she was eager to try.
After all, Shizuka Hiratsuka loved shonen hot-blooded manga.
Of course, she had to see such a scene herself.
"Hello, Sona."
"Rias."
The two also introduced themselves.
Then they started chatting with Shizuka Hiratsuka.
After hearing Shizuka Hiratsuka talk about last night's events, Sona's resentment deepened, and she looked at Abel with a resentful gaze.
Another one who got on the 'carriage' early.
Then everyone started chatting idly.
After all, Sirzechs hadn't arrived yet.
After a while, the teleportation circle representing Phoenix lit up.
As flashy as ever.
As the firelight flashed, Riser and Ravel, the siblings, walked out.
Looking at the three, Riser also greeted them.
Abel and the others nodded.
Then Riser looked at Rias and spoke.
"Rias, how prepared are you?"
"Hmm~ Not bad, but I'm definitely going to win against you."
Riser smiled and shook his head after hearing that.
"You're really confident, but I won't go easy on you."
"Likewise."
Since they had talked things through that day, their relationship had eased a bit.
They could now chat normally.
Ravel also moved closer to Abel to chat.
"Ravel, would you like to become my Familiar?" Abel said with a smile, looking at Ravel in front of him.
"Hey! Abel, you're trying to get my sister!"
Riser quickly protected his younger sister.
He was a 'cuckolder' himself, how could he not know the thoughts of this white-haired guy in front of him?
But turning around and seeing his own sister's eager look, Riser felt like the sky was falling.
At this moment, the teleportation circle representing Devil King Lucifer opened.
Sirzechs and Elisa walked out.
Seeing that everyone wasn't fighting, Sirzechs nodded with great relief.
"Greetings, Lady Sona, Lord Abel, Lady Rias, and Lord Riser."
Elisa also performed a maid's bow to everyone.
Facing Elisa's greeting, everyone returned the courtesy.
Sirzechs saw that everyone was present and motioned for them to quiet down.
"Rias, Riser, this Rating Game, after discussion between myself and the other Devil Kings, will be magically broadcasted."
"This broadcast will also begin live in the Underworld. Now, go prepare. The Rating Game is about to begin."
Sirzechs said gently.
"Okay, Lord Lucifer, I will go prepare first."
Riser said and left with Ravel to prepare.
As Riser left.
Sirzechs looked at his sister. He raised his hand and ruffled Rias's hair.
"Rias, don't be nervous. Relax and fight. Brother believes in you."
Sirzechs said gently.
Rias nodded heavily, "Yes, Brother, I will do my best!"
"Then I will leave first. Elisa will take you to the venue."
"Okay, Brother."
After speaking, Sirzechs also went to his exclusive viewing spot.
"Lady Rias, please follow me."
"Okay."
Rias nodded, then followed Elisa to the spatial portal, but was suddenly interrupted by Abel.
"Wait, here."
Abel gave Rias a small bag.
Inside, he had prepared one Senzu Bean each for Rias and her Familiars.
"This is?"
"It has a similar effect to 'phoenix tears', but I hope you won't need to use it. Go, Rias."
