Chapter 994: Rias Gremory's Decision

Leone lay on the sofa, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

After all, she had always been free-spirited by nature, and now that she knew she was burdened with such heavy debt, it would be strange if she could be happy.

At first, she thought that once Lingyun left her world, the debt would be over; who could have imagined that the power of the IOU Lingyun had her sign would be so formidable, actually dragging her forcibly from her original world into this one.

However, after arriving in this world, she discovered that there were truly quite a few differences between it and her own. Whether it was the lifestyle or the social order, everything was completely different from the world she came from. Most importantly, after arriving in this world, she found that her strength, which had always been stagnant, had actually begun to improve again.

In the world of Akame ga Kill, her strength had fallen into a bottleneck after reaching a certain level. But at that time, she could already be considered one of the world's strongest, even capable of taking on a Super Danger Beast one-on-one. She had originally thought that was her limit, but she didn't expect that after coming to this world, she would realize her strength might not be considered that of a powerhouse here.

"This really is a magical world!" Leone said softly. "By the way, Lingyun, aren't you surprised at all by the abnormal improvement in my strength? After all, Teigu have limits."

"Not surprised at all. Although your strength is much greater now compared to before, compared to Akame and the others, you're still far behind!" Tokisaki Kurumi said to Lingyun with a grin, hugging a large cat pillow.

"Ah, right, how could I forget Akame and the others? Aren't they with you right now? Also, that woman Esdeath!" Leone sat up abruptly from the sofa.

"Akame and the others? They've run off to another world. I heard them mention before that it seems to be a world after destruction, where everyone can only live in giant mobile cities," Lingyun said. "They should be helping the people of that world eliminate monsters called Pollution Beasts and rebuild the world order right now."

"Hmm, that sounds like a pretty high-and-mighty thing to do! But that really is something Akame would do!" Leone nodded.

"By the way, Leone, do you want to see Akame and the others?" Lingyun asked.

"Is that possible?" A light couldn't help but shine in Leone's eyes.

"It shouldn't be a problem, but it will take some time. After all, the Cloud Realm hasn't established a stable passage with this world yet," Lingyun said with a nod.

Just as Lingyun and Leone were catching up, Tachiro Shirone also returned to the Occult Research Club.

"Koneko, you're back. Did today's mission go smoothly?" Kiba Yuuto waved at Tachiro Shirone.

"The mission went smoothly. By the way, where is the Department Head?" Tachiro Shirone nodded slightly.

"The Department Head seems to have gone to treat that newly recruited servant," Himejima Akeno said. "Koneko, is there something you need from the Department Head?"

"Yes, I discovered some very important intelligence that I need to report to the Department Head!" Tachiro Shirone nodded and said.

"Very important intelligence?" Knowing that Tachiro Shirone wouldn't joke around, Himejima Akeno's face also turned serious; intelligence that could make Tachiro Shirone say such a thing certainly wouldn't be simple.

After notifying Rias Gremory, it wasn't long before Rias Gremory appeared in the Occult Research Club.

"Koneko-chan, did something happen? Why were you in such a rush to call me back?" Rias Gremory asked with some confusion.

"This matter is related to my mission today, and furthermore, I met the person we have been looking for!" Tachiro Shirone said.

"Ara ara, it seems Koneko-chan really ran into someone incredible this time!" Himejima Akeno said with a light chuckle.

Tachiro Shirone glanced at Himejima Akeno, her gaze inevitably falling on the towering mounds on her chest, while she muttered something softly to herself.

"Koneko, tell me about what you encountered during your mission!" Rias Gremory said to Tachiro Shirone.

"Okay." Tachiro Shirone nodded.

After Tachiro Shirone recounted what she had encountered, everyone present fell silent. They hadn't expected that Tachiro Shirone would obtain such important intelligence just by going on a mission. Not only did they learn information about the person they had been tracking for some time, but they also discovered two outsiders of unknown strength.

"This really is incredible intelligence!" A trace of astonishment couldn't help but appear on Himejima Akeno's face.

"To be able to easily suppress Koneko, that kind of power is truly shocking!" A trace of caution couldn't help but appear in Rias Gremory's eyes.

After all, Tachiro Shirone's superhuman strength was very astonishing; no one present could suppress her in terms of raw power. But that outsider who summoned Tachiro Shirone was able to easily suppress her, so one could imagine their strength. And what was the purpose of someone with such powerful strength coming to Kuo Town without a sound?

After all, Rias Gremory's identity was not ordinary, and there were quite a few people keeping an eye on her. If something happened to her, it would inevitably become the fuse for some terrifying event.

"The other party shouldn't be an enemy!" Watching Rias Gremory, who had fallen into deep thought, Tachiro Shirone suddenly spoke up.

"Eh, Shirone, what do you mean by that?" Kiba Yuuto had a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"Although I don't know their origins, I didn't feel any malice from them, including that person named Leone!" Tachiro Shirone said.

"No malice? Are you sure, Koneko?" Himejima Akeno asked.

"I am sure. However, this speculation is based on the premise that we don't provoke them. If we provoke them and become their enemies, then it will absolutely lead to very terrifying consequences," Tachiro Shirone said earnestly.

"If we become their enemies, there will be terrifying consequences?"

Rias Gremory recalled their entire group's defeat before Leone earlier, and then thought of Tokisaki Kurumi, who Tachiro Shirone said could suppress her with physical strength alone, as well as Lingyun, who was evaluated by Tachiro Shirone as having even more unfathomable strength, and her gaze deepened.

She had never imagined that this seemingly ordinary Kuo Town could attract the attention of such powerhouses.

"Koneko, do you think it would be too abrupt if we went to pay a visit?" Rias Gremory asked.

"Hmm, it probably wouldn't be." Tachiro Shirone was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"Since such powerhouses have come to Kuo Town, it is quite normal for us, as the masters of this place, to go and pay a visit," Rias Gremory said.

"But Department Head, wouldn't that be too risky? Should we notify the others?" Kiba Yuuto asked.

"It's just a visit; there's no need to do that, otherwise it might be seen as a provocation by the other party," Rias Gremory shook her head and said.
