The biggest difference between Human World and Underworld is that Underworld has no moon at night, but Human World has a silver moon hanging high in the sky at night, which adds a lot of beauty out of thin air.
It was a rather cool night, and the night wind blew one after another, causing many passers-by to wrap up their clothes tightly, speed up their pace, and walk home.
Of course, this level of night wind is a comfortable breeze for Devil like Leo and Ravel Phenex. Even though they stood on the top of the building, their whole bodies were being blown by the night wind, but they still did not feel any chill.
"It's a beautiful night. I don't know if things will go smoothly."
Standing on the edge of the rooftop at the top of a building, Leo looked at the moon while letting his clothes and hair get blown up and down violently, his expression full of comfort.
Next to him, Ravel Phenex was also standing on the edge of the rooftop that would fall if he took one step. He pressed his skirt with one hand and his hair with the other, and said something to Leo.
"Why are you waiting here for Kaguya Shinomiya?"
Ravel Phenex is a little confused.
"Didn't you say that the road below is the only way for Kaguya Shinomiya to go home from school every day?"
Leo nodded towards the road below, put his hands in his pockets, and looked calm and leisurely.
"Then there's no need to wait on the road, right?" Ravel Phenex was still confused and said, "If Master Leo wants to see Kaguya Shinomiya, can't you just go to her house directly?"
Shinomiya Family's family is full of experts, and there are exorcists headed by Five Great Clans in charge all year round. However, Kaguya Shinomiya does not live in the family, but in the Western-style Mansion, a detached house far away from the family.
Given Kaguya Shinomiya's situation, if she had been living in the main family, she would have had a lot of conflicts with the people in the main family. The people in the main family also disliked her, so after entering high school, Kaguya Shinomiya moved out of the main family's mansion.
As for the single-family building Western-style Mansion in Kaguya Shinomiya, there are not so many masters.
So----
"Do you think I can just break in?"
Leo glanced at Ravel Phenex and smiled.
"Shouldn't it be like this?" Although Ravel Phenex was a little confused, he still said it as a matter of course, "With the strength of Lord Leo, as long as you don't encounter the presence of Maou-Class, you can get through here without any hindrance. Not to mention Kaguya Shinomiya's home, even Shinomiya Family's residence, you can break in directly, right?"
"As long as Master Leo gives the order, even Shinomiya Family and Five Great Clans will not be willing to embarrass you for a mere treasure."
"So, it's no problem even if you don't see Kaguya Shinomiya. As long as you make Shinomiya Family surrender, you can easily achieve your goal.
After hearing Ravel Phenex's words, Leo looked at her deeply.
At this moment, Leo remembered a comment made by Lady Phenex about his daughter in the original work.
"The essence of Ravel Phenex is domineering, that is, ruling the world with force and intelligence, which is a path that can easily lead to resentment."
That's right, despite the fact that this rich young lady is pretty, delicate, and has an exceptionally well-proportioned figure, in fact, deep down she is a very willful and proud dominator.
In the original book, after becoming the protagonist's family member and core strategist, Ravel Phenex supports the entire team with excellent strategies and continues to exert her strategic talents. However, her combat style is still known for her domineering style, and she is good at formulating radical strategies to reverse the situation of the battle. She is almost completely opposite to the cautious and meticulous Sona Shitori.
To this end, Lady Phenex also gave a piece of advice to the original protagonist.
"If you completely rely on Ravel Phenex, you will definitely fall into domination. How to steer Ravel Phenex, make no mistake."
Thinking of this, Leo felt like complaining.
"Well, you didn't give me any advice at all, which made me forget about it."
If Ravel Phenex hadn't suddenly revealed his true nature, Leo would have almost been deceived by this obedient and obedient daughter.
Leo actually didn't know this. Lady Phenex didn't think of reminding him, but gave up in the end.
Because she could see that Leo seemed casual and cynical, but in fact he was very independent, very self-centered, and not easily influenced by others.
Especially bad influences, Leo seems to be insulated from them by nature, or it can be said that it has its own code of conduct to abide by and will not be penetrated at all.
Others rely on their rock-solid willpower to resist the influence and temptation of others and stick to themselves, but Leo is different. He is not a rock, but cotton. He looks light and easy to handle, but in fact he can bounce back from any force and stay true to himself.
He did let himself go after becoming Devil, but what he let go was just his personality, not his humanity.
What he wants is to enjoy life and enjoy freedom, but not by sacrificing anything to achieve it. If it is not too bad, he can still do it with a mischievous mentality, but if it is too bad, even he will feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, there would not be so many bad people in the past who would be directly killed by him Power of Destruction after summoning him.
Although Lady Phenex had only met Leo once, she had already fully understood him in advance and knew what kind of person he was, so she did not deliberately give any instructions.
Because she felt that even her own daughter would have a hard time influencing Leo, who did whatever she wanted, and with Leo's strong personality, she was not afraid that he would not be able to control Ravel Phenex.
Leo, who didn't know about this, was complaining in his heart, but his face remained unchanged.
"Do you know that we were attacked by Old Satan Faction?"
Leo suddenly mentioned this matter.
"Of course." Ravel Phenex was slightly startled and said, "The fact that you, Rias Gremory, and Sona Sitri were attacked by Old Satan Faction at Human World, and turned the tide and defeated the attackers, has long been spread among the nobles, and only a fool like my brother would ignore it."
----Did this person accidentally hurt his brother?
Forget it, Riser Phenex is indeed an idiot.
"The leader of that incident was a remnant of the Trix family. The other party took Old Satan Faction's people and directly attacked Kuoh Academy. They launched an attack on us without even thinking that they would fail."
Leo looked at Ravel Phenex and said something.
"Because he feels that with his own strength, he has defeated us.
Hearing this, Ravel Phenex's pupils shrank slightly.
How could she not know what Leo wanted to say?
"There are many strong people in this world. Even Lord Sirzechs, who is known as the Demon King, is actually much stronger than Maou-Class, let alone the entire world."
Leo's voice traveled to Ravel Phenex's ears on the night wind.
"Not to mention that there are many god-level beings in Ten Strongest at the top of the world, but there are also quite a few beings in Three Factions and Maou-Class."
"In our Devil world, not to mention Four Great Satans, the top few in Rating Game have the strength of Maou-Class, not to mention the ancient elders of the major families who may still be alive today."
"Heaven has many highest-ranking angels headed by the four Seraphs. Fallen Angel's Grigori also includes Governor General, Vice Governor General and six Fallen Angel Cadre. These may all have the strength of Maou-Class."
"There are also Old Satan Faction, Hero Faction, and the Church—these forces all lack the combat power of Maou-Class."
"So, do you think I really have the strength to flow here unimpeded?"
Leo's rhetorical question made Ravel Phenex fall into deep thought.
She actually wanted to say that there was.
After all, even if there are many powerful people in this world, and Maou-Class exists in all major forces, how can those big shots appear here casually?
Besides, even if Leo, which has already completed "Zenith Tempest", Balance Breaker, can compete with the above people, why should it be so cautious?
At worst, if you really can't fight, just retreat. Can the other party still stop Leo?
That would be too much to look down on Ultimate-Class Devil, a Eight-Winged, and Longinus, the second strongest player in the world.
As long as there are no beings above Maou-Class taking action, or multiple Maou-Class beings are powerfully attacking us, with the strength of Leo, we can definitely defeat them all.
But Ravel Phenex knew that this was not the answer Leo wanted to hear.
I know very well how strong he is, and as myself, Leo is even more aware of how strong I am.
He won't be arrogant, but he won't belittle himself either, thinking that even a Shinomiya Family himself has to be afraid of.
Even if all the elite Five Great Clans are deployed, he won't be afraid. At most, he just can't do anything to the other party. He can still retreat calmly, so why should he be afraid?
But just because you are not afraid of returning does not mean that you can ignore these threats.
"Strength is just confidence, a means to achieve a goal, not a reason for blind confidence." Leo said slowly, "Before you fully understand the enemy's methods, any accident is likely to happen. Even if the probability of that accident is extremely low, taking the initiative will only look stupid."
"Five Great Clans can keep guarding this land as a human being, which proves that they do have the means."
"It's not easy for the Shinomiya Family to have a relationship with Five Great Clans and let the other party protect him."
"Don't be fooled by what appears on the surface."
"So, instead of taking risks with the Shinomiya Family, why not be more patient and try a simpler method?
The implication of Leo's words is very clear. He is telling Ravel Phenex that there is no need to pretend to be cool.
Since Tablet of Destiny is in the hands of Kaguya Shinomiya, just contact Kaguya Shinomiya secretly.
The reason for waiting in the middle of the road is also very simple. Leo feels that Kaguya Shinomiya may not have other forces at home.
If he remembered correctly, in Kaguya Shinomiya's story, her father did not actually care about her, but was afraid that she was not really his biological daughter, afraid that she was not the result of love between him and his favorite person, and also afraid that his favorite person would have an affair with another man, so he did not dare to contact Kaguya Shinomiya casually, and did not even dare to do a paternity test, which caused Kaguya Shinomiya to misunderstand.
He acted indifferent to Kaguya Shinomiya just to protect her. If he really cared too much about Kaguya Shinomiya, then countless people would definitely be eyeing Kaguya Shinomiya, putting her in danger.
Under such circumstances, Leo does not think that there is only one Ai Hayasaka guard around Kaguya Shinomiya.
Maybe, in Kaguya Shinomiya's home, there are a group of people who don't even know Kaguya Shinomiya are protecting her?
Although I'm not afraid even if I face Leo, but again, why not use it if there is an easier way?
It's better to wait for someone to come over on the side of a big road than to go to someone's home and be ambushed.
This is not prudence, it is just a legitimate choice after weighing the pros and cons.
"I understand, Lord Leo."
Ravel Phenex thought for a while, then nodded and accepted Leo's statement.
But looking at Ravel Phenex, Leo knew that although the other party listened to what he said, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the approach he advocated.
In her opinion, there is nothing wrong with Leo choosing a simpler method, but it would still work even if she didn't. In that case, what's wrong with her?
Let her come, and she will still feel that ruling the world with force and intelligence is the most natural thing.
"I hope you really understand."
Leo doesn't expect Ravel Phenex to understand it all at once.
He is not a person who has the aura of the protagonist, and he does not think that he can easily convince others because of his incredible eloquence, but he is not worried, because he feels that this kind of thing can be done slowly and quietly, and when Ravel Phenex is deeply affected by herself and the people around her, she will naturally change her mind.
He doesn't lack time or patience, so just take your time.
"Then it's time to get down to business now."
Leo turned his eyes and looked at one end of the road.
There, a luxurious limousine drove up from nowhere. Looking at the little golden figure on the car, you knew that the person in the car was either rich or noble, and his status was anything but ordinary.
"It should be that car, Master Leo."
Ravel Phenex also made the correct inference and pointed to the limo.
"Yes, the target is in the car."
Leo and Magic Detection had already unfolded, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, half-smiling.
"Sure enough, you shouldn't just take anything at face value."
He has discovered something unusual around him.
"Then let me be the vanguard, Lord Leo."
Ravel Phenex obviously does not have the same detection ability as Leo, so he said something to Leo.
"Well, go ahead."
Leo also wanted to see what Ravel Phenex was capable of, so he nodded immediately.
Ravel Phenex smiled sweetly, and his eyes began to burn with fire.
This is the first battle for me to join Eligos Peerage and start serving Leo.
Must----behave well.
As a result, a pair of blazing flame wings spread out behind Ravel Phenex.
Those are not the wings of Devil, but the wings of Phoenix.
The people of the Phenex Clan are different from other Devils because they are in charge of fire and are better at controlling fire combat. They don't like to use Devil's wings to fly, but prefer to fly with wings made of flames.
Ravel Phenex spread its wings of flame and jumped off the building, turned into a streak of fire and flew towards the limo.
