Chapter 4

"Sona..."

Rias wanted to comfort her, but was interrupted by Sona: "Just like he... Lin En said."

Complex emotions flashed in Sona's eyes as she continued: "I... was only thinking of myself, completely failing to consider his situation."

Rias was silent for a while, then picked up her black tea and took a sip, before chuckling lightly: "This is the Sona I know..."

When others make mistakes, she points them out without hesitation; when she makes a mistake, she admits it frankly.

Sona also picked up her black tea and took a sip, regaining her calm and composed posture.

"So what about your marriage contract?"

Rias asked curiously.

This action to dissolve the engagement could be called a major failure.

Although Lin En did not resist dissolving the engagement, and could even be said to be very cooperative, the result was obvious.

Sona paused: "Forget about the Rating Game; that would expose him to the eyes of the Jiumowang Sect."

"I will try to persuade my family."

Rias heard the firmness in her tone and joked: "If you ask me, Lin En is not bad; why not just continue like this."

"..."

Seeing Sona fall into silence, Rias, who understood her, immediately said in surprise: "You're actually thinking about it?"

"My first impression of him wasn't bad."

Sona said frankly: "If it cannot be helped, I will try to cultivate feelings with him."

Rias's eyes widened immediately.

Something's wrong!

Something is very, very wrong!!

Previously, Lin En's indifferent gaze, cold tone.

And that profound sentence, "You really are just full of yourself."

Hiss—

"Sona, you wouldn't happen to be that, would you?"

A masochist?

"Which one?"

Sona was puzzled.

"No, haha, nothing."

Rias laughed it off, her eyes drifting.

It shouldn't be possible, right?

"Strange."

Sona frowned, not paying much attention, finished the tea in her cup, and prepared to leave.

"Right."

Sona took a set of keys out of her pocket.

"I saw that his living situation isn't very good; the Sitri family has a property in Minato, Tokyo, and this is the key to one of the apartments. If you have a chance, pass it to him for me as an apology for this time."

After leaving these words, Sona cast a magic formation and left.

Rias opened her mouth, but could only swallow the words, "Why don't you give it to him yourself?"

Kuoh Academy.

Student Council Room, a flash of red light passed by.

Sona appeared suddenly.

"Tsubaki, I need to bathe."

"Yes, my lord President."

"And my clothes need to be washed too."

"Yes, my lord President."

"... Wait! I'll wash my own panties!"

"You've been a big help, Aoyama."

"I'll treat you to ice cream next time."

Carrying the half-price bento she had snatched, Lin En retreated from the convenience store with success.

After coming out, the sky had gradually darkened.

Lin En carried the plastic bag containing the bento in one hand and toyed with a black chess piece in the other.

"Aoyama also has the qualifications to be reincarnated as a demon."

"Unfortunately, Aoyama doesn't agree to me stuffing this thing into her body."

Lin En looked regretful.

"Can you see it?"

"Can you see it?"

A long-tongued curse spirit blocked Lin En's path, its sticky saliva dripping onto the ground, making a sizzling corrosive sound.

Lin En looked at it with disgust.

The long-tongued monster reacted immediately.

"You can see it!"

"You must be able to see it!!"

"You ahhhhhhh—!!"

Before the long-tongued monster could taste the human who could see it, red flames suddenly erupted from its body, burning it to ashes.

"You picked the wrong target; I am..."

"A demon."

Lin En scanned the nearby curse spirits that were gathering around.

The curse spirits swept by his gaze all began to tremble.

Lin En shook his head, not bothering with them.

There were too many of these low-grade curse spirits; he couldn't manage them all.

However, after breaking through the "mystery of the womb," he finally knew what kind of world he was in now.

An Omni-Anime World hodgepodge!

For example, his current identity: the only bloodline of a demon family from the Netherworld, a freshman at Shuchiin Academy, his homeroom teacher is Natsume Nangong, and the school also has a Totsuki Department.

Right, and there's Nanami Aoyama from the convenience store.

Plus these curse spirits filling the streets, Lin En reasonably suspected that there was also a Miko Yotsuya in this world.

"Hmm?"

Lin En paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.

On the panel, the 'Evil Pieces' skill flickered slightly.

This was another effect of the 'Evil Pieces'; if he encountered someone in the vicinity with the qualifications to become a Familia member, it would flicker to remind him.

Lin En decisively released his magic power to sense the situation in the surroundings.

A few seconds later, Lin En's eyes lit up: "It should be there!"

Sensing the location, Lin En turned his steps and rushed in that direction.

His Familia member was currently in a bad situation, being hunted by a demon.

Yes, a demon.

Not all demons were like him, following the laws of the human world.

Of course, it could also be a Stray Demon.

Through his perception, it should only be of lower-class strength, posing no threat to his strength, which was about to break through to a High-Class Demon.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

Heavy panting echoed in the quiet, deserted alleyway.

Utaha Kasumigaoka gritted her teeth and moved her legs, which felt like they were filled with lead; her black stockings were already tattered, and there were several abrasions on her legs, but she seemed not to notice, just running blindly with her head down.
