An Ironic Contrast, Taking Her In / Rias Comes to Demand an Explanation
But a dark shadow appeared in Ferid Selzer's eyes.
A blue light gradually magnified before him.
A blue light gradually magnified before him.
"Huh?!" Ferid Selzer exclaimed in surprise.
A small fist covered in blue and white Mana landed directly on his face.
'--boom!'
Immediately afterwards, a huge bang resounded inside the church.
Ferid Selzer's figure, as if struck by a truck, vanished in a blur, crashing into a wall and kicking up endless dust.
"Ara ara... Looks like a pretty powerful demon has arrived!"
"Hmph! Daring to trespass into the church, they're courting death!"
"Hey... Ferid, are you dead?"
"..."
Almost immediately after Ferid Selzer was blasted away, several waves of Mana spread out.
A few black feathers drifted down from the sky.
In the candlelight, several dark shadows could be vaguely seen reflected on the wall.
With a single punch, he sent Federer Selzer flying, but Koneko Toujou remained unfazed, as if he had done something insignificant.
Upon sensing the appearance of those Mana, he turned to look.
Several Fallen Angels with outstretched black wings had appeared in the church without anyone noticing.
It was a group of one man and three women, led by a voluptuous, scantily clad mature woman.
They hovered above the neatly arranged chairs, gazing down at the Koneko Toujou.
Under the arm of the leading mature woman was a nun whose face was filled with panic and lingering fear, as if she had just experienced or witnessed something terrible.
"Kalawarner, go check on Ferid's condition. If he's not dead, bring him here so Aisa can treat him." The leading woman was none other than Raynare, who, in the original story, was ordered by Azazel to monitor Hyoudou Isshin's extraordinary path.
At this moment, she wore a cold smile, seemingly not taking Koneko Toujou seriously.
"23:59:20, 40 seconds left!" Koneko Toujou didn't care about her attitude. Instead, she took a watch from the zippered pocket of her skirt, glanced at the time, and her cool voice attracted the attention of Raynare and the others.
"--All wicked ones, fear my power! Now I will possess the majesty of ten mountains, the strength of a hundred rivers, and the might of a thousand Camels! Mighty me will raise the mark of a fierce Camel!"
"--Fear those who possess wings! The wicked and the powerful alike fear me, with my wings! My wings will bring you curses! The wicked cannot strike me!"
'Snap--'
As it chanted two Word of Power, a pair of black scythe-like wings suddenly unfurled behind the Koneko Toujou.
'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom--'
The next instant, four loud thuds suddenly resounded in the church.
The entire Western-style building shook violently, as if it had been hit by an earthquake.
'Snap!'
Immediately following were four sounds like glass shattering on the ground.
The four bodies that landed in the deep crater suddenly turned into a burst of light and vanished without a trace.
In mid-air, Koneko Toujou, still in a kicking stance, held Aisa, whose face was filled with terror, with a cool expression.
--Instant kill!
Chapter 395 An ironic contrast, taking in
Ferid Selzer, and a group of five Fallen Angels —one man and three women!
Although these five people are low-level demons, if it were the old Koneko Toujou, without revealing Nekomata's trump card, they would have had no chance of winning.
But now, these five people were instantly killed by Koneko Toujou.
From beginning to end, the Koneko Toujou only took five minutes.
She took less than a minute to deal with Ferid Selzer and the four Fallen Angels.
There are also about ten seconds left to chant Word of Power.
This is the Koneko Toujou, after three months of transformation.
Although she used the power given to her by Arthur, she didn't use much of it.
Of those five people, four were kicked to death by her.
Even Federer Selzer was knocked unconscious by a single punch from her combination of "Castle," Shave, Tekkai, and Shigan.
After rescuing Aisa from Raynare's clutches, a hint of joy finally appeared on the usually cool and adorable face of the Koneko Toujou. She then left the church and returned to the villa to ask Arthur for his reward.
It's like a child doing something they think is amazing and wanting praise from their parents.
Having spent so much time together, Koneko Toujou no longer had any worries in front of Arthur.
Arthur, fulfilling her wish, reached out and ruffled her hair, offering praise.
In the Kuoh Town was already shrouded in darkness.
Even though the neon lights were still flashing, there was now a profound silence.
The only noise left was the sound of cars speeding by.
In the living room of a luxury villa.
Aisa sat opposite Arthur with her legs together, twirling her index fingers as if trying to ease her anxiety.
The Koneko Toujou was sitting on Arthur's lap, eating ice cream, its pink lilac licking it little by little.
Arthur held the Koneko Toujou in his arms like a child, his hands resting on her fair legs, occasionally slipping down to her black stockings, where he unconsciously caressed them gently.
This caused a blush to involuntarily appear on the delicate and adorable face of the Koneko Toujou, who was eating ice cream.
"Aisa, we meet again." After a long while, Arthur, holding the Koneko Toujou, smiled and looked at Aisa.
"Yes... thank you!" Aisa, as if startled, instinctively stood up and bowed to Arthur.
Seeing this, Arthur comforted him, "Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you."
"Yes..." Aisa seemed to realize her lapse in composure, her cheeks flushed as she sat down, her soft voice barely audible.
Arthur stroked the Koneko's leg with one hand and gently scratched her head with the other, his gaze fixed on Aisa as he continued, "Can you tell me why you, as a nun, would choose to side with Fallen Angels?"
"Because I don't know where I should go..."
Upon hearing Arthur's words, Aisa's unease vanished, replaced by a somber, bewildered tone. This caused the Koneko Toujou had been enjoying Arthur's caresses, to pause slightly in her ice cream-holding motion.
Golden eyes gazed at Aisa, and Koneko Toujou felt a pang of resonance within her.
Aisa Algert was born in Northern Europe.
Abandoned as an infant, she became an orphan and was taken in and raised by the church, eventually becoming a nun.
Growing up in a church environment, Aisa is pure and innocent, a very kind-hearted believer with a pure faith in the Lord.
Perhaps it was her devout spirit that led her to betray her husband and become arrogant.
Perhaps it was her devout spirit that led her to betray her husband and become arrogant.
She possesses the "Twilight Healing," which can heal the wounds of the injured.
Because of the indiscriminate healing power of this Sacred Gear, it can heal humans, demons, and Fallen Angels alike.
An unexpected incident led the kind-hearted Aisa to heal an injured demon, which turned her life upside down.
She should have become a saint, but those who received her healing labeled her a witch.
The original praise was completely replaced by disgust and rejection.
They even expelled Aisa from the church!
Despite these terrible experiences, Aisa still believes in that God!
Ironically!
God is dead, but hypocrites remain, and the truly virtuous are driven out in God's name.
· ······Requesting flowers· ···
This comparison made Arthur scoff.
"Since we have nowhere else to go, why don't you stay here if you don't mind?" Arthur said Aisa, his arms wrapped around Koneko Toujou's waist.
"Really?" Aisa looked up at Arthur with surprise in her eyes.
Despite the fact that the person who had taken her in was killed by the Koneko Toujou sent by Arthur, she showed no fear or resentment towards Arthur.
Because of their brief time together, she was forced to witness the evil of Fallen Angels and the horribly damaged image of Jesus in the church, all of which made Aisa deeply understand.
The person she sought refuge with was not a good person.

In contrast, Arthur possesses an innate positive aura and has shown her goodwill by helping her upon their first meeting.
If Aisa had a choice, she would want to stay here.
"Of course!" Arthur nodded and said with a smile.
"Thank you... thank you!"
Having received a reply, Aisa stood up again and bowed deeply to Arthur in gratitude.
Looking at the girl whose eyes were filled with tears of excitement at being taken in, Koneko Toujou, feeling a sense of crisis that her 'master' had been taken away, remained silent.
To be honest, the Koneko Toujou didn't want Aisa to move in, because this was her and Arthur's home.
But Aisa's appearance reminded her of herself back then.
The rejection and harassment that welled up in my throat remained unspoken.
As if sensing the complex emotions of the pet in his arms, Arthur allowed Aisa to stay, then picked up the Koneko Toujou in a princess carry and looked at Aisa with a gentle smile, saying, "You can go upstairs and choose a room. The rooms with signs are all empty! Just treat this place as your home, don't worry about it."
"Thanks..."
Although Arthur said that, Aisa kept expressing her gratitude.
Watching Arthur carry the Koneko Toujou upstairs to the second floor, Aisa stood still, making a prayer gesture with her hands clasped together. A happy smile appeared on her beautiful and lovely face.
Lord! I have found my home again--.
Chapter 396 Rias's Questioning
In the master bedroom of the villa.
After Arthur brought the Koneko Toujou into the living room, he used his superb cat-petting skills to comfort his Koneko.
"Is the Koneko angry?" Arthur looked down at the Koneko Toujou, who was nestled on his lap, eyes half-closed in bliss, and asked with a soft chuckle.
"Perverted senior..."
The Koneko Toujou opened her beautiful, languid golden eyes, rolled her eyes at Arthur (a rare occurrence for her), and muttered, "Anyway, I'm no one to you, senior. What business is it of my who you take in!"
The statement that he was not angry was completely false.
But thinking of Aisa's expression and feeling the resonance in her heart, the Koneko Toujou enjoyed Arthur's caresses more than she was angry.
"Who says Koneko aren't important? Koneko are the most important person to me in this world!" Arthur said gently.
"Senior..."
And his words had a very significant effect.
Not only did it instantly dispel the slight gloom in Koneko Toujou's heart, but it also made her show the expression of a pet recognizing its owner. Her cute face flushed red, and she happily stretched out her slender, jade-like hands to Arthur.
Arthur reached out and pulled the Koneko Toujou into his arms, feeling her tiny head nuzzling against his chest. He smiled and gently stroked her back, saying, "Not angry anymore?"
