Chapter 148: Shirone, you wouldn't want to

Kuoh Academy.

Seeing that she had been discovered by Kuroka, Rias fell silent for a moment, exchanged a glance with Himejima Akeno beside her, and then stepped out.

"President?"

"Akeno-senpai?"

Toujou Koneko was somewhat surprised to see Rias and Himejima Akeno.

She remembered that she hadn't attracted too much attention when she came out, right?

Why would...

However.

Now was not the time to think about that!

Her sister had been discovered!

She must not let the President know about the relationship between her sister and Lynn-senpai!

Toujou Koneko was somewhat nervous.

Rias thought the pressure Kuroka was putting on her was too great, so she gave her a comforting smile.

Then, she looked at Kuroka.

Look!

She had scared her little kitten to this extent!

Her eyes narrowed, and her tone was firm: "Koneko is now my, Rias Gremory's, subordinate. I will not let you take her away!"

"Ho?"

Kuroka's eyes were playful, then she looked at Koneko, squinting. "Shirone, you should know where I am now, right?"

Toujou Koneko was stunned.

What did that mean?

Her sister...

Did she want to take her to Lynn-senpai?

She looked puzzled.

But then she heard Kuroka's voice ringing faintly in her ear.

"Shirone, you wouldn't want to..."

"...have the Master all to your sister, would you?"

Toujou Koneko: "!"

Her face flushed red.

Sister, what on earth are you saying!!

Rias and Himejima Akeno were also taken aback, their expressions becoming strange.

What kind of wild talk was this?

Was Koneko's sister actually this unrestrained?

However...

This person actually wanted to corrupt her Koneko!

Absolutely!

She absolutely could not let her take Koneko away!

Rias's gaze was unkind. "You! It's impossible for Koneko to go with you!"

"Kuroka!"

"Don't forget your identity!"

Rias's aura was overbearing. "Do you want to take Koneko and live a life of being hunted by the Underworld?!"

"And..."

Rias stared at Kuroka, her tone complex. "You still don't know how much harm the things you've done have brought to Koneko!"

Kuroka was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled. "I can't undo the past..."

"But!"

Her golden pupils flashed with light, her tone carrying a trace of fanaticism. "This time, I'm going to take Shirone on an unparalleled path to the heavens, nya!"

She wasn't just doing this to let Shirone go push the butt.

Besides Shirone liking the Master, once Shirone was marked by the Master.

The power of the same origin within her would also be guided positively.

Even.

With the existence of the favor, she would definitely be able to climb to an unimaginable height!

Rias couldn't stop frowning as she listened to Kuroka's insane ramblings, which sounded like those of a fanatic.

Seeing that reasoning wouldn't work, her tone became cold. "I won't let Koneko leave with a dangerous person like you."

"Nya?"

Kuroka blinked, her golden slit pupils taking on a dangerous aura.

"Dangerous?"

She chuckled. "This place of yours..."

"...isn't exactly safe either, is it?"

Rias was stunned for a moment.

Kuroka continued, "I've heard..."

"...that a Fallen Angel cadre has set their sights on this place."

Rias pursed her lips. "I will protect Koneko."

"You?"

Kuroka gave a disdainful smile, then tapped the air with her slender hand.

Hum—

Dark purple mist spread instantly.

"Ugh..."

The moment she inhaled the mist, Rias's eyes widened, and her whole body went limp.

She collapsed to the ground with a thud!

Himejima Akeno's body suddenly went soft, but because of the Fallen Angel bloodline in her body, she was much better off than Rias.

At least...

She could still barely stand.

But...

Himejima Akeno gritted her teeth, her face gloomy.

Why, why did it have to be this disgusting bloodline!

At this moment, she would rather be like Rias, collapsed directly on the ground.

"Sister!"

Toujou Koneko stood in front of Rias, unaffected by the dark purple mist.

Or rather...

Kuroka had deliberately avoided her.

Seeing Toujou Koneko's nervous appearance, Kuroka waved her hand casually. "Relax, relax~ Sister knows her limits, nya~"

"After all..."

Kuroka's mouth curled slightly. "...she is the younger sister of that Lucifer, nya~"

Hearing this, Rias bit her lip.

Kuroka jumped down from the tree, hugged Toujou Koneko, and looked at Rias with a half-smile. "See..."

"...even I can deal with you all so easily."

"What makes you think you can protect Shirone?"

"Damn it!"

Rias glared, staring fixedly at Kuroka.

"Then..."

"...I'll be taking Shirone away, nya~"

A purple magic circle rose behind Kuroka, and she prepared to take Toujou Koneko away.

But...

Toujou Koneko struggled for a moment, then shook her head. "Sorry, sister."

"I can't go with you right now."

Kuroka was stunned for a moment.

"Nya?"

Toujou Koneko said in a deep voice, "Rias-senpai has been kind to me; I cannot just walk away like this!"

She also really wanted to become a true pet of Lynn-senpai.

But...

She recalled things from the past.

If it weren't for Rias-senpai...

Perhaps she wouldn't have lived long enough to see Lynn-senpai?

"Koneko..."

Rias was somewhat moved.

But...

Himejima Akeno did indeed discover the loophole in Toujou Koneko's words.

So now...

That meant...

She would leave in the future.

Himejima Akeno frowned, then thought of Lynn's figure, feeling surprised.

Was it because of him?

However...

Thinking of Lynn, she remembered one thing.

Previously, Rias had received a devil flyer transmitted by Lynn.

It might have been the first thing she ever received from Lynn.

Even if it was just an ordinary devil flyer, Rias kept it on her person at all times.

She could even see Rias taking it out to admire it from time to time, with an inexplicable emotion on her face.

As for now...

She should still be carrying it properly, right?

Himejima Akeno squinted, looking obscurely at Rias's chest.

When she saw the corner of black peeking out, she felt relieved. As expected, it was still in the old place. If all else failed, she would just have to ask Mr. Lynn for help.

However...

Could Mr. Lynn stop Kuroka?

Himejima Akeno was somewhat hesitant.

Although she already couldn't quite see through Mr. Lynn anymore.

But...

Lynn, who was the same age as her and Rias, even if his strength exceeded theirs.

It shouldn't exceed it by too much, right...

Tsk...

How troublesome...

Fortunately...

Kuroka didn't mean to hurt them.

But.

If Koneko were taken away.

Himejima Akeno recalled Kuroka's previous words.

Master's?

Even she was very stunned to hear such words!

Without a doubt!

After Koneko was taken away, she would be facing hell!

Absolutely!

She could not let Koneko be taken away!

In just a few seconds, Himejima Akeno thought of a lot.

Then she stared at Rias's chest.

Her mind recalled the scene of first meeting Mr. Lynn.

That black lightning was still vivid in her memory!

At times like this, one really had to seek external help...

"Shirone, you really are loyal and righteous, nya~"

Kuroka rubbed her head, then said, "But!"

Hei Ge rubbed her head and then said, "But!"
