Koneko's Return Gift / Rias and Akeno Himejima's Secret

"Isn't it a good thing to help him get back on the right track?" Arthur said with a light laugh as he walked toward the balcony.

"But that was too ruthless! Just one kick, and a boy's dream was destroyed," Ddraig couldn't help but complain.

Arthur leaped from the balcony, disappearing in a flash like a blur, continuing his conversation with Ddraig on the way, "Would the Red Dragon Emperor, one of the Two Heavenly Dragons who fought on the battlefield and devoured the leaders of the three major powers, feel any pity for a human?"

"You even know all this?" Ddraig said with a slight sigh, "No wonder you're the host of that Sacred Gear that even I, in my soul state, felt threatened! New partner, you're not simple!"

"So, will you follow me?"

"Now that I've broken off contact with that kid, you're naturally my best choice."

Aren't you worried about my character?

"What's there to be afraid of? Just promise me you'll defeat that white guy!"

Upon hearing this, Arthur smiled and said, "Then, it's a deal!"

"The Red Dragon Emperor's throne is something that the Crimson Dragon Emperor greatly covets."

It can Infinite Boost, although not without limit, as long as the body can withstand it.

In the original work, even ordinary people with weak constitutions like Hyoudou Kazumi were able to unleash a powerful attack from a top -High-Class Devil by relying on the ability of 'Infinite Boost'.

Once you reach the Balance Breaker and Juggernaut Drive, it goes without saying...

Chapter 381 The Koneko's Return Gift

Arthur left empty-handed but returned laden with spoils.

Ddraig also highly approves of this boy who possesses the ability to sever the connection between himself and his former host.

After all, his previous host was so weak that he felt despair.

An ordinary human being, and a lecherous brat at that.

It can be said to be the weakest host it has ever had.

If the connection hadn't been severed, Ddraig naturally wouldn't have accepted Arthur, since even if Hyoudou Ichiro was incredibly weak, he was still the host he had inhabited.

However, Arthur, who has the power to sever this connection, is a new partner who is very worthy of recognition.

On the way back to the villa, Arthur had already told the "Red Dragon Emperor" that he could use the power of this "Longinus" with just a thought.

Throughout the journey, Arthur talked to Ddraig about the myth of "207," and learned the information he wanted from Ddraig.

Arthur coveted the "Red Dragon Emperor's Imperial Frame" not only for its ability to multiply its power, but also primarily because of the "Red Dragon Emperor's Imperial Frame's" hidden power.

Ddraig has witnessed far too many things, from the past to the present.

The amount of information in the knowledge base is also astonishingly large.

Arthur wanted to learn more about mythology, Sacred Gear, and gods through Ddraig.

After Conceptual Enchantment "Sword of Wisdom of Victory," Arthur somehow became very knowledgeable.

In "The Avalon," before leaving the world of the God Slayer, Erica and Liliana, as knights, insisted on following him and brought all the ancient texts of the "Copper Black Cross" and the "Bronze Black Cross" to the Avalon of Elysium.

Athena was also taken away by Arthur, but after arriving at the new instance...

Arthur discovers that even the "Heretic Gods " cannot stop time in the Immunity system.

The only person who can ignore this power is Saber in her Heroic Spirit form.

But in the world of God Slayer, Saber, who knew that Arthur would never let her get involved in the battle, refused to come along this time.

Back at the villa's entrance, Arthur looked at the living room, where lights had been turned on at some point.

A slight smile suddenly appeared on his lips as he spoke, "Ddraig, let's discuss this!"

"Hmm? What's wrong, buddy?" Ddraig's puzzled voice echoed in Arthur's mind.

"If possible, please don't show up unless I need you," Arthur said calmly, yet with an unquestionable tone.

"Hahaha... Looks like your new partner has a lot of secrets." Ddraig understood Arthur's meaning and couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, I'll block all senses."

"However, if that white guy shows up, my senses will still work."

"That's possible at that time," Arthur nodded and replied.

In fact, Arthur could have easily killed Ddraig.

All it takes is to weave Ddraig's Word of Power, and then wield the "Sword of Wisdom of Victory" to kill him.

But Arthur was unaware that the "Red Dragon Emperor Ddraig's" soul had been lost.

However, he still needs Ddraig's help, and since Ddraig is relatively easy to get along with, he would be happy to have another partner.

But he didn't like having his daily life spied on by others, so he had to discuss it with Ddraig beforehand.

If that's unacceptable, then the only option is to erase Ddraig's soul.

If that's unacceptable, then the only option is to erase Ddraig's soul.

"Then, when you need me, just call me." With those words, Ddraig fell into a deep sleep.

And Arthur's Instinct (A) indeed lacked that sense of vigilance from spying.

Thinking of this, Arthur couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as he walked into the villa.

Before Arthur left, he had already turned off all the lights in the villa.

Now that the lights are on, it's obvious who did it.

"Perverted senior, where did you go?"

As soon as he returned, Arthur heard the calm, aloof voice of the Koneko Toujou.

On the floor where shoes were being changed by the door, a woman dressed only in a white shirt and a white coat sat there, seemingly having been waiting for Arthur for a long time.

'Smack!'

As always, Arthur snapped his fingers at Koneko Toujou without hesitation and said with a smile, "Don't give your master any nonsense nicknames."

"I didn't become an apprentice to a lolicon." Koneko Toujou covered her forehead with one hand, then picked up a pair of shoes and placed them in front of Arthur, personally kneeling down to untie his shoelaces.

From top to bottom, Arthur could see the fair skin and the faint red dots along the collar of the Koneko Toujou.

"Perverted senior..." This time, Koneko Toujou seemed to sense Arthur's gaze. While changing his shoes, she suddenly looked up and scolded him with flushed cheeks.

'Smack!'

Arthur, showing no mercy, snapped his fingers and scolded with a smile, "You seduced me first, didn't you?"

"Lolicon, pervert..." Koneko Toujou muttered, head down, at a loss for words, but her cute face turned bright red Arthur's exposure.

After changing his shoes, Arthur walked over to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Looking at the Koneko Toujou, who was also sitting on his lap, he reached out and stroked her shoulder-length silver hair, asking, "So, how did it go?"

"KO in 10 seconds!"

The Koneko Toujou turned around, straddled Arthur's lap, wrapped her slender legs around his waist, and raised her little fist.

As she said this, a faint smile appeared on Koneko Toujou's usually expressionless face.

"Do you like my gift?" Arthur pinched her cheek and asked with a smile.

"Mmm..." Koneko Toujou seemed to recall that kiss and nodded shyly.

Looking at the adorable Koneko Toujou, Arthur couldn't help but ask, "Want more?"

"Senior, you're hard!" At this moment, the shyness on Koneko Toujou's cute face had disappeared, replaced by a triumphant smile. She said in a cool tone, "Still saying you're not a lolicon!"

"..." Arthur was speechless for a moment, then said helplessly, "That's the normal size!"

"Liar!" The Koneko Toujou twisted its body in disbelief and lowered its head to reach out and verify.

Seeing this, Arthur quickly reached out to stop her. "Don't move, what are you trying to do?"

"Hmm..."

Suddenly, Arthur's head was cupped in a pair of small hands, Koneko Toujou's face loomed larger and larger in his eyes, a familiar warmth pressing against him.

A lilac stalk invaded.

After a long while, the panting Koneko Toujou finally left.

Her face flushed as she looked at Arthur and whispered, "Perverted senior, this is my return gift..."

Chapter 382 Rias and Akeno Himejima's Secret

After that kiss, Arthur and the Koneko Toujou's relationship took another step forward.

If their relationship before was one of mentor and friend, tinged with a touch of ambiguity, then now Arthur is the person that Koneko Toujou relies on most, besides Rias.

In the past, I would always come to Arthur's place at dusk, using work as an excuse.

Now, during lunch break, she only goes to the Occult Research Club to report for duty, and spends all her free time on Arthur.

When Koneko Toujou accepts someone in her heart, her hidden cat demon nature is involuntarily exposed.

For example, before, when chatting, eating snacks, or playing games, she liked to sit on Arthur's lap, but now she just uses Arthur's thighs as a cushion and pillow.

Arthur petted the Koneko like a kitten every day, his fingers running through the Koneko Toujou's shoulder-length silver hair in a caressing motion.

The Koneko Toujou thoroughly enjoyed Arthur's cooking, a shy blush always gracing her adorable face.

As his feelings for the Koneko Toujou deepened, Arthur didn't waste any time.

Before the arrival of the Koneko Toujou, he spent his time either reading mythological texts or communicating with Ddraig.

Ddraig was easy to get along with, and Arthur didn't hide anything from him, directly revealing his target.

Upon hearing about the power contained in his new companion's sword, even Ddraig, one of the Two Heavenly Dragons and the Red Dragon Emperor, couldn't help but be astonished.

No wonder they were able to sever its connection with that brat!

Unexpectedly, that sword was Ominous Sword capable of severing even a god's soul.

Ddraig finally understood why he had been on that sword, making even its spirit form feel threatened.

This sword is a genuine "Longinus"!

Moreover, it is an existence above the thirteen types of "Longinus".

After learning of Arthur's goal, Ddraig was generous and told Arthur everything he knew about mythology, Longinus, gods, demons, Fallen Angels, and the strongest people he knew.

The stronger his allies are, the happier Ddraig is.

That way, when facing the person the white guy is staying with, my chances of winning will be much higher.

The mysterious young man before him was undoubtedly the strongest host he had ever encountered.

Arthur's knowledge base, like a sponge, absorbed and collected all the information that Ddraig had said.

Although Ddraig may not have gone into enough detail, this basic information is sufficient to serve as material for forging the "Sword of Wisdom of Victory."

Perhaps the "Sword of Wisdom of Victory" that is forged is not very strong, but it can be improved over time.

Time flies like an arrow; another half month has passed in a flash.

During this time, Arthur almost developed a set routine.

During the day, I read books; at noon, I chat and play games with Koneko Toujou, occasionally explaining training methods to her; in the afternoon, I absorb information about Ddraig and occasionally familiarize myself with "The Red Dragon Emperor's Royal Frame Bad Shepherd α Jun".

In the evening, the Koneko Toujou underwent rigorous training.

Koneko Toujou has mastered all of the Six Powers, and by utilizing her reincarnated demon physique, she has eliminated many of the flaws that the Six Styles of the Navy could not remove, integrated the Mana system into it, and compiled several sets of combination techniques.

In terms of physical skills, Arthur didn't have much to teach Koneko Toujou.

After all, back in the Haiyan Kingdom, his physique was pitifully weak.

The Six Powers were only mastered because the user became a "God Slayer," surpassing the level of a human.
