Rias Leaves Early, Like a Married Couple / I Didn't Mind
And the Koneko Toujou, just like a cat, let Arthur do whatever he wanted, with a look of enjoyment on its face, and occasionally making 'meow' noises.
After opening their hearts to each other, the bond between the owner and pet, who had been together for several months, finally deepened once again.
From a mentor-student and friend relationship to a master-disciple and master-pet relationship, and now to a true master-pet relationship.
Arthur lay on the large Simmons mattress, skillfully displaying his cat-petting techniques as always, playing with the Koneko Toujou had completely relaxed and embraced its pet identity, while a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
The Koneko Toujou's high temperature just now was certainly not due to its true form being exposed.
The Koneko Toujou's high temperature just now was certainly not due to its true form being exposed.
After all, this wasn't the first time Arthur had seen the Koneko Toujou revert to its original form.
I see the Koneko Toujou almost every day.
But not once did her body temperature return to what it had been before, and she would even show signs of discomfort, such as twisting her body even in her sleep.
So, Arthur's fingers, which had been holding the Koneko Toujou's chin, traced her neck, down to her collarbone and shoulder, feeling her body temperature return to normal. A look of realization flashed across his eyes.
I see!
The shock overshadowed her previous state.
The Koneko Toujou's condition just now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is likely a sign that the Nekoshou is about to enter its heat cycle.
However, the extreme shock and subsequent joy caused her estrus cycle to be masked by these two emotions.
Thinking of this, Arthur couldn't help but chuckle.
He quickly put that thought aside and continued to play with the Koneko Toujou, engaging in games between owner and pet.
The clock struck midnight, and another day had passed.
But this day was extremely valuable for Arthur, Akeno Himejima, and Koneko Toujou.
Especially for Akeno Himejima and Koneko Toujou, it was a day definitely worth reminiscing about.
On this very day, the relationship between the three broke through a bottleneck and was elevated to a higher level.
Early the next morning!
As the first rays of golden sunlight seeped into the room through the curtains...
Arthur's internal biological clock was about to ring.
He slowly opened his eyes, subconsciously looking down at the Koneko Toujou lying on his chest, drool dripping from its lips.
She was fast asleep, her cheek pressed against Arthur's body for quite some time, and you could see red marks on her cheek from the pressure.
Her fluffy cat ears drooped listlessly, covering her shoulder-length silver hair. The summer heat had caused her to kick off the blankets in the early hours of the morning, revealing her delicate body, clad only in underwear and pants, as smooth and warm as jade.
A tail was wrapped around Arthur's right foot, and its adorable appearance put Arthur in a cheerful mood as he woke up.
So, as usual, he picked up his phone from the cabinet next to him and recorded the scene.
Then I quietly waited for the Koneko to wake up from her sleep, and then picked her up to wash her.
A new day has begun...
Chapter 432 Rias Early, Couple's Resemblance
The summer sun felt extremely hot.
Don't you see that pedestrians on the street are either sweating profusely, holding umbrellas, or standing in the shade?
Looking down from above, one can see the streets distorted by the intense heat.
Such weather is the most unbearable for students.
In this kind of weather, the most suitable environment is an air-conditioned room or a well-ventilated and insulated house.
A villa standing in a bustling area is undoubtedly the best place to escape the summer heat.
Inside the villa's living room.
Yesterday, Arthur spent the whole day cleaning the shrine with Akeno Himejima, and today he's back to his usual tidying up.
He had written down most of the myths about the God Slayer world and this world, along with his own insights, in his notebook.
Then, after careful examination, I compressed some of the longer content into shorter pieces of information so that when forging the "Sword of Wisdom for Victory," I could not only maximize the power of the Golden Sword but also avoid chanting such lengthy Word of Power.
Rias, Akeno Himejima, Koneko Toujou, and Aisa have all gone to school.
This was the only time Arthur was truly at peace.
But today, Rias unexpectedly left early.
Arthur sat on the sofa, bent over almost lying on the table, holding a silver pen, writing lines of elegant handwriting on the blank page.
"Chinese? As a descendant of King Arthur, you're so proficient in the Chinese language? Speaking of which... do you really love mythology books that much? Not only have you read them all, but you've even memorized them!" Rias sat next to Arthur, one hand on his bent shoulder, her chin resting on the back of her hand, quietly watching Arthur write, and asked in a puzzled tone.
Rias was naturally familiar with the font used above.
After all, it is one of the world's major powers, and a country with a very powerful mythological system.
However, Rias was quite surprised that Arthur, a native of Ying, was so fluent in Chinese.
"Tell me your reason for leaving early." Arthur continued writing without looking up, not even offering Rias any explanation, but simply asking her why she left early.
Although Rias is the ruler of this town and the person in charge of the Kuoh Academy.
But she never skipped class!
But today he left early, which is unusual for him. It's impossible that there was no reason for it.
"Oh... can't I leave early for you?" Rias rarely showed a mischievous smile. Her hand, which had been on Arthur's shoulder, moved to the other side. The beautiful woman, who had been sitting on the sofa, stood up and knelt down. Her large breasts, which were no less impressive than those of Akeno Himejima, were placed on the back of Arthur's head. Her hands wrapped around Arthur's neck from behind, and her rosy lips were close to his ear as she whispered, "You stole my Koneko and messed around with my 'Queen.' As my nominal fiancé, you show me no care whatsoever. You're not being a very good husband."
Hearing her words and feeling the softness of her pillow, Arthur finally put down his pen, straightened up slightly, rolled his eyes, and said helplessly, "Speak like a human..."
"Boring!" Rias muttered, then released her hands, sat back down on the sofa, and said seriously, "Someone wants to see you, and they'll be here soon."
"Who?"
"You know him too? We just met last time," Rias said with a hint of helplessness. "One of the four great Demon King lords of the Demon World, the man who inherited the title of Lucifer... my brother!"
"... What is he here for?" Arthur pondered for a moment, then feigned confusion and asked again.
"Well... who knows?"
Rias shrugged her shoulders and said something equally ambiguous.
"Whoosh--"
Just then, a powerful surge of Mana suddenly filled the living room of the villa.
Immediately afterwards, a red True Magic circle appeared in the spacious area as if precisely positioned, bursting forth with a dazzling scarlet light.
A figure gradually emerged from the light.
He was a handsome man with long Red-Hair, a gentle smile on his handsome face, and an elegant demeanor.
After stepping out of the True Magic circle, he greeted Rias and Arthur, who were sitting close together, with practiced ease. "Yo... long time no see. Hope I didn't disturb your bonding time?"
"Brother, we've been waiting for you!" Rias said helplessly, arms crossed and legs crossed.
Sirzechs sat down on the sofa opposite Arthur and Rias, listening to his younger sister's words. An awkward smile immediately appeared on his face, completely lacking the demeanor of Demon King, as he apologized, "Sorry, I'm a little late."
After speaking, Sirzechs glanced at the notes in front of Arthur, looked at the Chinese characters on the page, and smiled as he tried to find a topic to talk about, "Are you contacting other countries' languages, such as 410?"
"I don't like beating around the bush, just say what you want to say." Perhaps still a little resentful about being schemed against in the past, Arthur leaned back on the sofa, habitually crossing his legs, and said.
"Hmm~ Looks like your relationship is developing quite well! You two look like a married couple." However, Sirzechs didn't care about his tone at all. Instead, he saw Arthur and Rias's rather matching couple poses and said with a bright look in his eyes.
"..."
Both Arthur and Rias were speechless after hearing Sirzechs's words.
They seemed to understand each other perfectly, or perhaps they were the kind of couple Sirzechs had described, staring at him without saying a word.
"Alright... I came here to see Arthur." Under their intense gazes, Sirzechs surrendered with a mixture of pleasure and helplessness.
The happy thing is that my younger sister has really found her ideal husband, but the unfortunate thing is that the two of them are too impatient.
"..."
Just as Sirzechs was about to get to the point, Arthur and Rias, looking every bit the couple, simultaneously put down their crossed legs, ready to listen attentively to the purpose of Sirzechs's visit.
Chapter 433 I didn't care.
(Something came up in my dorm today, so the first update is late. But don't worry, I guarantee there will still be at least three updates. Even if I don't finish writing all three today, I'll finish them before going to sleep at midnight! Sorry!)
In reality, "God" is dead.
Just as Arthur and Rias were about to listen to Sirzechs's serious business,
Sirzechs's first words were like a bomb, leaving Rias's mind blank.
Arthur remained silent.
"God, is it... that 'God'?" After a long while, Rias looked at Sirzechs and asked, her voice slightly stammering.
Although they belong to the demon faction, the legendary "god" is a being that even the three realms must look up to.
Myths do exist in this world.
Aside from some myths from the very beginning or ancient times that have disappeared, the most famous of these is naturally the legendary "Bible God," followed by mythological systems from Norse, Greek, Mount Meru, Indian, Egyptian, Celtic, and other traditions.
The "Sacred Gear" that resides within humans, enabling them to embark on a path of superpowers, is a masterpiece created by the "Bible God."
Even some of the thirteen, or even more, unknown "Longinus" were created by the "Bible God".
For example, "The Imperial Frame of the Sekiryu Emperor"
Even the legendary "Twilight's Holy Lance" was called the first and strongest "Longinus" because it assassinated Jesus, the Trinity God, the "Bible God."
This "god" with such prestige is dead.
How is this possible?!
"Ah... it's him!" Sirzechs nodded, his confirmation plunging Rias into silence, a surge of emotions welling up within her, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.
Fortunately, Aisa was attending classes at the Kuoh Academy; otherwise, upon hearing those words, she would surely have collapsed from faith and fainted.
However, thanks to the original storyline, Arthur already knew about this.
So, after hearing Sirzechs's words, he didn't show any expression, remaining calm as he stared at Sirzechs and asked, "And then?"
Seeing Arthur's calm expression, Sirzechs couldn't tell if it was because he belonged to the Celtic mythological system or if his outward calm masked inner turmoil. He continued, "Though the god is dead, he left behind a system! And now, the celestial realm is no longer governed by any 'god,' but Michael has done a good job!"
"After 'God's' death, he took over managing the system, preventing the collapse of faith in Heaven. However, it's still just a system, and there are bound to be flaws. That's why more and more believers in the human church are going astray," Sirzechs lamented. "In the three-way war back then, our losses were too great. The angels lost God, and we demons lost a large number of pure-blooded demons. So now the three forces are in a delicate state of peace."
"However, this hard-won peace was shattered by Kokabiel recently!"
"Therefore, our three parties intend to hold a meeting to formally establish a Peace Treaty!" Sirzechs's gaze slowly shifted from Arthur to his younger sister's face as he said, "Due to Kokabiel's influence, this meeting will be held at the Kuoh Academy."
"Eh--" Rias, who hadn't yet recovered from the shock of the "god's" death, instinctively exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Sirzechs's words.
Arthur, on the other hand, vaguely sensed the purpose of Sirzechs's visit and asked calmly, "I am just an outsider, and I don't belong to this country or any of your three factions. You didn't come here specifically to tell me this, did you?"
"No, I'm mainly here to discuss the meeting place with Rias." Sirzechs slowly stood up, looking at Arthur with a light laugh, and said, "And also to see how your cohabitation is progressing! So, Arthur, when do you plan to marry Rias?"
"... Married... Brother, what are you saying?" Rias, who was already in a daze, blushed instantly upon hearing this word.
Although during this time, due to their nightly conversations on the balcony and Akeno Himejima's provocations, she developed strong feelings for Arthur.
But the two aren't together yet!
Sirzechs's words made Rias both embarrassed and shy.
She glanced at Arthur's profile subconsciously, her eyes showing a hint of anticipation.
Unfortunately, Arthur remained indifferent, ignoring Sirzechs's last words, and continued, "... There shouldn't be more than that, right?!"
