“Understood then. Erica is both my subject and my familiar, so this matter ends here.”
“Understood.”
“It seems our worries were a bit excessive. Sorry to have bothered the King.”
With the situation clarified, Amasu Touma understood that the organization's concerns were unnecessary, so he felt relieved.
He also apologized to Ye Xiao.
Mariya Yuri, who was standing nearby, also blushed and apologized to Ye Xiao, “I’m very sorry about what just happened.”
Looking at the two, Ye Xiao waved his hand.
“It’s fine, I don’t care about these things.”
“Also, there’s no need to be so formal. I don’t care for these courtesies. We can interact as ordinary people.”
Ye Xiao said, looking at Mariya Yuri, “Then, let me reintroduce myself. Ye Xiao, an ordinary King. I hope we can become friends next time we meet.”
These words made Mariya Yuri’s face flush. Just as she was about to say something, Ye Xiao disappeared from his spot.
Looking at where Ye Xiao had disappeared, Amasu Touma smiled and said to Mariya Yuri.
“Miss Yuri, it seems this King’s style is a bit different from the Kings you know.”
“However, I wonder if Miss Yuri is interested in transferring to Komaou Academy?”
...
Evening arrived.
An abandoned church somewhere.
As the door opened, dust filled the church, which had not been cleaned for a long time.
Two people in white cloaks were walking. One of them had something wrapped in bandages, resembling a cross, on her back.
They looked at the church.
“It’s really desolate.”
“Yes, when I was little, many people liked to come here to the church. I didn’t expect it to be abandoned after all this time.”
The two pulled down their white hoods.
Revealing their beautiful faces.
One was a girl with brown twin tails, and the other had short blue hair with a green streak at her forehead. The church combat uniforms they wore perfectly accentuated their figures.
They were Irina Shido and Xenovia Quarta.
The Holy Sword Wielders of the Church.
Since three of the seven King’s Swords were stolen by the Fallen Angel Kokabiel, the two accepted the mission given by the Church to subjugate the Fallen Angel and recover or destroy the King’s Swords.
“Speaking of which, they’re really slow. Is this the agreed-upon location?”
“Of course, it’s correct. After all, this is where I lived when I was little.”
Looking at the dilapidated church, the two sighed, then began to clean it up a bit, making it barely habitable for them for one night.
In an inconspicuous corner, a crow watched everything, then left the place.
...
At the same time, at Ye Xiao’s house.
“Sona-sama, cheer up! Snatch Master Xiao!”
“Oh my, oh my, President, you must cheer up~ Strive for Master Xiao to belong to us tonight~”
“Sister Lucrezia, cheer up! You can’t lose the Master!!”
Sona, Rias, and Ye Xiao’s familiars stood around, cheering for their companions.
In the center, Sona, Rias, and Lucrezia were playing Old Maid.
Lucrezia had just been introduced to everyone.
With Lucrezia’s personality, it was easy for her to get along with them.
And the rules of the game were simple: whoever won first would have the right to Ye Xiao’s company tonight.
To put it simply, whoever won would go to their place to sleep.
After all, there were many wolves and little meat, only this way could it be fair and just.
“Sona! We let Xiao have you yesterday, you’re not allowed to snatch him from us today!”
“That won’t do. As devils, we must be a bit greedy. And as someone bearing the expectations of my familiars, I won’t give Xiao to you, Rias, and Miss Lucrezia!”
“Really, to use my Master as a stake, then as a familiar, I will not hand over my Master.”
The three gave no quarter, and the game of luck officially began.
Ye Xiao, as the person in question, was lying on Tiamat’s lap, happily watching this scene.
Anyway, Ye Xiao wouldn’t lose out no matter what.
However, Ye Xiao also didn’t expect that Lucrezia would get along with Rias and the others so quickly.
Meanwhile, Tiamat, Grayfia, and Elsa watched them play with smiles.
Why not compete?
Please, only children do such things.
They were all mature adults, so of course, they would go straight for it.
And would they dare to stop her?
Don’t underestimate the strongest people in the world.
Just as the game was heating up, Kanae’s familiar—a crow—flew in through the window.
She landed beside Ye Xiao.
“How is it, little one?”
“Two strangers came into the church. One of them was carrying something that looked like a cross on her back.”
Listening to the crow’s report, Ye Xiao nodded.
Xenovia and Irina Shido, two Holy Sword Wielders. Rias’s knight has arrived.
Kiba’s matter should also get back on track.
He checked the time, it was time to rest.
“Alright, everyone.”
Ye Xiao clapped his hands and said, “For my physical and mental health, I am the man you cannot have tonight, so I’ve decided to spend the night with Tiamat.”
As Ye Xiao spoke.
Everyone looked at Ye Xiao with resentful eyes, but of course, everyone was understanding.
When it’s time to rest, rest. The person is here and won’t run away.
And when Tiamat heard Ye Xiao’s words, her eyes lit up. He had delivered himself to her.
Don’t blame me.
At this moment, Tiamat’s eyes were like a perverted uncle looking at a loli.
She made a shushing gesture to everyone.
Everyone knew what was going on and didn’t make a sound. According to the schedule, it was already Tiamat’s turn.
“Alright, Xiao, get some rest early.”
“Xiao Jun, see you tomorrow.”
“Master, get a good rest.”
Just like that, everyone left the living room with smiles and went back to their rooms.
Grayfia and Elsa said to Tiamat.
“Don’t go too far.”
Tiamat gave an OK sign.
And so, the last two also left.
“Hmm~ Tiamat, I’m out of here first.”
Ye Xiao said, intending to leave, but was suddenly held by the shoulder by Tiamat.
“Nnn~ Master said he’d spend the night with me~”
For some reason, Ye Xiao felt a slight pain in his kidney at this moment.
“Cough cough, just kidding, just kidding.”
Ye Xiao awkwardly waved his hand, preparing to escape, but was held firmly.
Oh no, he had delivered himself to her.
He stiffly turned his head, swallowing as he looked at Tiamat, whose eyes had hearts in them.
“Uh... I said I don’t want to, is that okay?”
“It’s too late~”
Tiamat smiled and continued, “Nnn~ Xiao, big sister’s room has something good, wanna see~”
