“Isn’t that Akaza?”
At this moment, Gyokko made a sound, and Akaza, feeling refreshed, looked towards him.
Immediately after, a malevolent demon with six small hands, eyes on his forehead and in his mouth, and a mouth in his eye sockets emerged from Gyokko.
This was Upper Rank Five, Gyo…Pooh Gyokko.
He was also very happy to see Akaza.
“Oh my, oh my, seeing you so energetic brings me great comfort. It’s been 85 years since we last met, hasn’t it?” Gyokko also moved closer to Akaza and continued, “I thought you had been eliminated, and I was so excited… *cough*, I was deeply worried~”
Akaza did not bother with Gyokko’s provocation, as he was in a good mood today.
“How terrifying, how terrifying. In just a short while, Gyokko can’t even count anymore.” By the staircase, a horned demon was squatting there, muttering. “It’s been 109 years since I was last called here. An indivisible number, an ominous odd number.”
This was Upper Rank Four, Hantengu.
“Brother Douma, has he arrived? Douma isn’t here.”
“Sister, Douma might be late due to something.”
On the other side, a green-haired man was carrying a white-haired female demon on his back. These two were Upper Rank Six, Gyutaro and Daki.
“Hey, Nakime, have Upper Rank One and Muzan arrived?”
“Upper Rank One arrived long ago, and Muzan… Muzan has arrived.”
As Nakime plucked the biwa strings.
A man in a black suit appeared before everyone, accompanied by a white-haired child.
And Upper Rank One sat to the side.
Seeing this, everyone knelt on one knee, bowing their heads in salute.
“Greetings, Muzan.”
Their voices rang out in unison.
Muzan scanned the group, and spoke coldly: “I have summoned you today because Douma was surrounded and killed by the Demon Slayer Corps’ Hashira.”
Muzan lied without batting an eye, as saying he was killed by a group attack from the Demon Slayer Corps could motivate the Upper Ranks.
Muzan couldn't bring himself to say that Douma died from sun exposure.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned solemn.
Only Akaza’s lips curled slightly upward, his smirk harder to suppress than a recoil from an AK.
Today was a good day.
Daki’s face was filled with disbelief.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible, how could Douma possibly…”
Before she could finish, Daki’s head was plucked off by Muzan.
The scene fell silent again.
“Since Douma is dead, the Upper Rank positions need to be adjusted.”
“Apart from Upper Rank One remaining unchanged, all other Upper Ranks will be promoted by one position. As for Upper Rank Six, he will take that role.”
With that, Muzan pushed Rui, who was playing with string figures, forward.
...
In the world of High School DxD.
In Ye Xiao’s living room.
Elsa and Tiamat were lounging lazily on the sofa. It must be said that Elsa had also been influenced by Tiamat to relax.
According to Elsa’s reasoning:
I’ve been fighting for so long, what’s wrong with enjoying myself?
And Ye Xiao was nestled between them, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Indeed, Ye Xiao had still followed his desires and transformed into various demons.
In the kitchen.
Kanae was currently learning how to use modern kitchen appliances with Grayfia.
And under Ye Xiao’s previous introduction, Kanae also knew that she was no longer in her original world. Of course, Kanae also learned from Ye Xiao that she could still return.
Similarly, Kanae accepted her identity as a demon and tacitly acknowledged herself as Ye Xiao’s wife. After all, becoming an immortal demon seemed not bad compared to becoming a man-eating demon.
She was just a little worried about her two younger sisters.
After a while, Kanae and Grayfia brought out dinner and called Ye Xiao over to eat.
Hearing the call, Ye Xiao reluctantly got up from between Elsa and Tiamat and walked towards the dining table.
Everyone gathered around the dining table and began to enjoy breakfast.
At this moment, Yotsuya Miko came downstairs with Asia.
“Brother.”
“What is it?”
Ye Xiao looked at Asia, who had called him, with some confusion.
Asia stood beside him, fidgeting, and finally mustered up her courage to say:
“Brother, please reincarnate me as a demon.”
Hearing Asia’s words, Ye Xiao was also startled.
Grayfia and the others were also watching from the side. Although they had only lived with Asia for a few days, everyone liked this little girl very much.
And if Asia became Ye Xiao’s familiar, they could be together forever.
Ye Xiao thought for a moment and then asked, “Why do you want to become a demon, Asia?”
“Miko said that if I become a demon, Asia can help Brother.”
After hearing Asia’s words, Ye Xiao also looked at Yotsuya Miko.
Miko also gave him a thumbs up.
It must be said that Yotsuya Miko’s assist was quite good.
Instead of handing Asia over to Rias, it would be better to reincarnate her himself, and then help Rias find another one later.
So, being selfish was not wrong.
Ye Xiao looked at the obedient Asia in front of him, stroked her head, and then patiently said:
“Asia, I’m very happy that you have this intention, but after becoming a demon, you won’t be able to pray to God~”
“Brother doesn’t want to see Asia have a headache every day.”
Asia looked at Ye Xiao with determination, her eyes full of persistence.
“Brother, I’m not afraid!”
“It was Brother who gave me a home, and it was Brother who let me go to school and make many new friends. I also want to help Brother.”
Looking at the earnest Asia in front of him, Ye Xiao also chuckled, then looked at Asia with a serious expression and said:
“Have you thought it through, Asia? Are you sure you want to become my familiar?”
“I’ve thought it through! I want to help Brother!!”
Ye Xiao nodded, then took out a Bishop chess piece and looked at Asia, saying: “In that case, I shall reincarnate you as a demon.”
Looking at Ye Xiao holding the chess piece, Asia suddenly felt a little nervous.
After all, she had never even thought about reincarnating as a demon.
“Brother, what should I do?”
“Just pull down your collar a bit.”
Hearing Ye Xiao’s words, Asia was a little shy.
But she still turned her head away with a blush, and then pulled down her collar.
Ye Xiao smiled at the innocent Asia.
Then he placed the chess piece into Asia’s chest.
In an instant, the chess piece integrated into Asia’s body, followed by a pure white magic circle appearing on the ground.
The entire room also became spotlessly white.
And the system’s notification sounded again.
【Reincarnation Pack +1】
Soon, the white light dissipated.
Asia felt her previously weak body now filled with power. She excitedly clenched her fists, feeling a body different from before.
Asia looked at Ye Xiao, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Then she instinctively clasped her hands together.
“Thank God… Ouch, ouch, ouch.”
Before she could finish, a sharp pain shot through Asia’s head.
Ye Xiao also came to Asia’s side and rubbed her head: “I told you that praying to God would give you a headache~”
“Hehe, I forgot because I was too happy,” Asia said sheepishly.
“Alright, let’s eat dinner together.”
“Okay, Brother!”
