"Transform?"
Sona repeated.
"Yes, my Master."
Magic Sapphire replied.
Sona looked at Rias helplessly, while Rias shrugged, letting her decide for herself.
"Then... Transform!"
Sona instinctively closed her eyes and shouted out loud.
"Yes, my Master."
A blue light enveloped Sona, and in an instant, her clothes and accessories changed.
Her clothes turned into a cute light-blue dress, a blue flower was tucked into her hair, the crystal pendant around her neck vanished, and a magical staff appeared in her hand.
Magic Sapphire's voice seemed rather mechanical for now, but after its soul essence integrated to a certain extent, it would become Sona's subordinate and possess true intelligence.
Just like the Zanpakutō from the world of Bleach, they each have their own personalities.
It even involved the core Magic Formulas of the Flugel, possessing an independent energy source and the ability to manifest itself using magic power.
"It's very cute~"
Rias chuckled.
"Ugh."
Sona blinked, not knowing how to react.
"Magic Sapphire, create a water mirror."
Rias said.
"Understood, Creator."
A water mirror formed in front of Sona, and she saw her own reflection in it.
The small blue dress and cute outfit made her look like a little angel, even though she was a devil.
"So cute..."
Sona murmured.
"Mm, let's test the power of a Magical Girl later."
Rias smiled and said, "Magic Sapphire has a certain degree of self-operating capability, but you shouldn't rely too much on Sapphire in your daily life and neglect your own training."
"Yes." Sona nodded, then excitedly toyed with the magical staff in her hand.
With a thought, Sona flew up without even unfolding her devil wings.
"Lady Rias, look, Sona is flying~"
"Mm-hmm, keep it up~"
Seeing Sona's excitement, Rias couldn't help but rest her chin on her hand, a doting smile on her face.
After a thought, Rias took out a crystal.
This was a Memory Crystal, which could record the surroundings and then display them in 3D.
Future dark history +1~
When she realizes how embarrassing this behavior is in the future, her expression will surely be very cute.
That said, maybe she'll get used to it over time?
Rias thought.
Soon they arrived at the capital, Lilith—
This was the territory of the current Devil King Lucifer, Sirzechs.
Walking on the streets here, a sense of prosperous vitality radiated everywhere.
It was much more prosperous than the future of the Human World, and the devils' faces were full of smiles.
"It's very prosperous."
Rias said softly.
It was somewhat similar to her past life, but every devil here possessed power far exceeding that of ordinary humans.
Other than that, they weren't much different from humans.
No... there were still differences.
Devils have very violent temperaments; fighting and brawling are common occurrences, making the maintenance of order a rather troublesome matter.
But no one would pick a fight with a child, right?
Especially that crimson hair; it was simply too eye-catching.
With the crimson hair and her appearance, anyone who wasn't a fool could realize her identity.
"This is delicious."
Eating the cotton candy unique to the Underworld, Rias couldn't help but comment.
Although the food in the Gremory Family was delicious, having snacks occasionally was also great.
"Mm-hmm."
Sona nodded beside her.
"This is also not bad."
Rias was munching on a tanghulu.
"Mm-hmm."
Sona nodded like a hamster.
"This pancake is also great."
"Mm-hmm."
"This is tasty."
"Mm-hmm."
"This is also very delicious..."
After eating over twenty kinds of delicacies in a row, Sona's expression had changed from cute to that of a blank-faced nodding Machine.
After a hundred portions of food, the two had already walked several streets.
"Not eating anymore, Sona-chan?"
Rias tilted her head, looking at Sona curiously.
"No... I can't eat any more."
Sona looked at Rias's expression and couldn't help but ask, "How can Lady Rias eat so much?"
"By using magic power to speed up digestion, of course."
Rias said, "We are devils; controlling our own bodies is a basic skill, isn't it?"
"Ugh, I can't do that..."
Sona muttered.
It sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult, and few people would apply it this way.
Except for 'Senjutsu', which controls the body and Qi, it's hard for magic power to achieve such an effect.
In fact, Rias did indeed master the use of Senjutsu.
However, she didn't specifically delve deep into Senjutsu. After all, Senjutsu has great limitations; its ability to attack the inside of someone's body isn't as useful as one of her Magic Bullets.
Rias mostly integrated the system of Senjutsu into her own Formula, which was why she could do all sorts of things through magic power.
"It's a pity that entertainment in the Underworld is still too underdeveloped."
Rias muttered.
"Entertainment... Is Lady Rias talking about the Rating Game?"
Sona asked.
"Mm, I suppose so."
Rias thought for a moment and said.
Calling it entertainment is true, but the Rating Game is closer to an athletic meet; the competition is very intense.
It has already become an indispensable part of devil culture and cannot be treated as a common entertainment item.
Many middle and Low-class Devils pin their hopes on the Rating Game; the higher the rank, the more resources they obtain.
It could be said that the Rating Game is the only path for promotion besides being a noble devil, and it's their only hope.
Ultimately, they are devils, where strength is paramount; entertainment could never be as complex and diverse as in the Human World.
"You bastard, are you looking down on me?!"
Suddenly, the two heard a voice.
Looking over, they saw a blonde punk with earrings punching and kicking a Low-class Devil.
"I'm sorry..."
"A simple'sorry' is enough?"
"I am a Middle-Class Devil! How dare a mere Low-class Devil look down on me?!"
The beaten devil kept apologizing, yet the punk continued to punch and kick him.
Most of the people around scattered, while a small portion took a glance and left without any reaction.
The people around acted as if this scene were perfectly natural, not caring in the slightest.
Rias could see that most of those who hurriedly scattered were Low-class Devils, while the others who didn't care were mostly Middle-Class Devils or privileged individuals.
The current Underworld is an Aristocracy!
Low-class Devils and Reincarnated Devils have no status to speak of unless they are subordinates of a noble.
"This is too much; he clearly already apologized..."
Sona said as she watched the punk beating the other devil.
"What's even worse is that the beaten devil might have done nothing at all and was just being picked on over some trivial matter."
Rias's eyes remained completely calm as she said, "If he did anything wrong, there is only one reason—"
"And that is weakness."
