Upon seeing Miss Moonlit appear, Kiba Yuto quickly spoke.

"I apologize for only coming to see you now. I was assigned a task by the club president last night and didn't get back until midnight."

After explaining the reason, he had learned of Miss Moonlit's arrival after returning home late. At that hour, he hadn't dared to disturb the young lady's rest, so he had waited until now.

"It's alright."

"However, you human are now a demon, you don't need to be like Tosca."

Miss Moonlit shook her head, not minding at all. She just noticed that Kiba Yuto's respect for her hadn't changed even after becoming Rias's servant.

"No, Miss Moonlit, you will always be my benefactor! No matter what I become."

Kiba Yuto said with sincerity, without any pretense.

"Then what if I told you to betray Rias?"

Hearing this, Miss Moonlit suddenly asked strangely.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Kiba Yuto was immediately stunned.

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. He couldn't possibly betray Rias, as she had also helped him a great deal.

Kiba Yuto could agree to anything else, even give his life, but betray Rias... he couldn't do that.

"Alright, I was just kidding."

"I don't have any grudges with Rias, so don't take it too seriously."

Seeing Kiba Yuto's bewildered state, Miss Moonlit smiled and casually changed the subject.

"That's good..."

Only then did Kiba Yuto breathe a sigh of relief. He truly didn't want Miss Moonlit and Rias to have any conflict.

"Are you going to Koma Village next? I'll go with you."

Without further ado, Miss Moonlit asked the two to take her to Koma Village.

Having acquaintances to guide them undoubtedly made things much easier.

Chapter 47: So Many Girls, Is This Heaven?

"Miss Moonlit, this is Koma Academy."

Kiba Yuto and Tosca brought Miss Moonlit to the school entrance and introduced her to some of the school's circumstances.

This school was no ordinary school; it was controlled by demons. Although there were races other than humans and demons within the school, most of them were related to demons.

"I know, no need to introduce!"

Waving her hands at Tosca and the other, Miss Moonlit knew all of this very clearly. She even knew things they didn't.

The entire Koma Village belonged to Rias. This Demon Princess had taken over the territory of Koma Town, an island nation in the human world, on behalf of the upper echelons of the demon realm and for her own personal reasons.

Then, together with her servants, she managed demon businesses such as making contracts with humans and collecting payment, and hunting down rogue demons.

Due to her fondness for island nation culture, she decided to enroll in Koma Academy, which was actually managed by her family, and also to attract her good friend Sona Sitri to the school.

This was also why there were two princesses from Demon King families in this school. One served as the president of the Occult Research Club, which was on the verge of being disbanded, and the other was the student council president.

With Kiba Yuto and Tosca leading the way, Miss Moonlit, despite not being a student of Koma Academy, easily entered the campus.

Upon entering, Miss Moonlit looked at the surrounding young female students and found it quite interesting. She even thought... it wouldn't be so bad to repeat high school here.

Most of the people in front of her were girls, with very few boys. Moreover, the girls' appearances were generally quite high. Even if she couldn't do anything, living in such an environment would feel mentally and physically pleasant, right?

It was nice to feast her eyes!

They were all vibrant high school girls.

And it had to be said, this was indeed like a harem anime, wasn't it? The school uniforms here had very short skirts, and if you crouched down, you might see something you shouldn't.

"Because it used to be a girls' school, there are more girls in the school,"

Noticing Miss Moonlit's gaze, Tosca stood beside her and explained.

"Mhm."

Nodding, Miss Moonlit thought that this situation, where a former girls' school later admitted boys, was quite common in island nations. It was mainly due to a lack of student resources; many schools had closed down for failing to recruit new students, let alone schools that only admitted female students.

To avoid the possibility of being 폐교 (closed down), some students even decided to debut as idols.

Right?

To the members of Muse.

"It's Kiba-kun!"

"Our Prince! Our Prince is so handsome today, I love him so much!"

At this moment, students who had also just entered the school noticed Miss Moonlit, Kiba Yuto, and Tosca, and subconsciously looked over, discussing amongst themselves.

After all, there was someone who was incredibly popular for a day among them.

Kiba Yuto's popularity in the school, especially among the girls, was quite high.

"It's a shame that His Highness the Prince is so polite to everyone, but so heartless when it comes to romance."

"That's for the best, then. No single bitch can monopolize him. Kiba-kun belongs to all of us."

"Who's that girl next to Kiba-senpai? She's so beautiful!"

"That's Tosca-senpai! You don't recognize her? She's from the student council."

"I'm not talking about Tosca-senpai, I'm talking about the other one! She's way too beautiful! I feel like she's already a threat to Rias-senpai."

"Uh, I don't know this senpai. It's my first time seeing her. I wonder what her relationship is with His Highness the Prince. Damn it, why are they all so beautiful? One Rias-senpai is already enough for us to look up to! And now there's another one!"

"I have a feeling Rias-senpai's position as the most popular beauty is in jeopardy."

Rias was famous throughout the school for her long red hair and perfect figure, a foreign beauty who was the most popular girl at Kuoh Academy, hailed as the number one beauty.

But at this moment, a girl who could rival Rias's beauty appeared at the school. How could people not be shocked?

"Kiba, it seems you're quite popular at school! So many girls like you."

Although the surrounding girls' voices were soft, Miss Moonlit, as a Valkyrie, could hear them clearly. She looked at Kiba Yuto beside her, her tone laced with a hint of envy.

She didn't have this kind of treatment in her past life!

If she had Kiba Yuto's treatment in her past life, she wouldn't have spent her university days playing games in her dorm.

Damn it, I'm so envious of this guy.

What was even more infuriating was that Kiba Yuto didn't care about any of this. He never considered dating, only focusing on getting stronger.

"Miss Moonlit, you jest."

Kiba Yuto shook his head helplessly. In truth, he didn't like this attention; many things actually disturbed his training. However, Kiba Yuto's personality made him treat everyone with utmost politeness, never showing anger.

Except when facing his enemies.

In Kiba Yuto's eyes, he wasn't just living for himself, but for the comrades who desperately helped him escape during the Holy Sword Project.

And even more so, he was living to avenge them all!

For him, who had survived along with the lives of his comrades, to spend his time on frivolous matters would be the greatest insult to them all.

"Miss Moonlit, Kiba receives dozens of love letters every day."

Tosca, standing beside them, also spoke in a peculiar tone. Kiba Yuto's locker was filled with love letters from girls every day. It wasn't surprising, considering Kuoh Academy had more girls than boys, and Kiba Yuto was a campus heartthrob.

If they don't like Kiba Yuto, are they supposed to like Issei Hyoudou and the others?

"Tosca…"

Kiba Yuto glanced at Tosca with a helpless expression. After he chose to become Rias's servant, this companion seemed to have a lot of issues with him.

Miss Moonlit herself had no objections and even approved of his reincarnation as a demon.

Just as he was about to say something, Kiba Yuto's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and looked at it; it was a message from their president, Rias. After reading the content, he hesitated.

"Miss Moonlit, the president needs me for something important…"

Kiba Yuto felt a little embarrassed. It was Miss Moonlit's first time visiting Kuoh Academy, and he should have been showing her around. But something important had come up with Rias, and he couldn't refuse.

"It's alright, you go ahead and take care of it. I'll be fine with Tosca accompanying me."

Sensing Kiba Yuto's hesitation, Miss Moonlit didn't seem to mind. Having Kiba Yuto stay with her would actually be more troublesome, with all the jealous glances from the surrounding girls.

Besides, she was just looking around today and didn't need anyone to accompany her.

"I am truly sorry, Miss Moonlit. Thank you for your understanding. I will apologize again once this matter is resolved!"

Hearing this, Kiba Yuto relaxed a bit. He bowed respectfully once more, and after confirming that Miss Moonlit had nothing else to say, he turned and left.

"Hmph! That Issei guy is getting more and more annoying, always going on about 'President, President.'"

"The master is visiting for the first time, and he's not even hosting her properly."

Watching Kiba Yuto's retreating back, Tosca's tone was filled with displeasure. In her eyes, Master Moonlit was the most important, and leaving midway to find someone else was undoubtedly a betrayal.

"Don't be upset. Kiba is Rias's servant after all."

Miss Moonlit truly didn't mind. In the eyes of Kiba Yuto and Tosca, she had done them a favor, but the girl saw it as a fair transaction.

She had saved Kiba Yuto and Tosca, but in return, she had obtained their Divine Artifacts. In fact, the girl felt she had gotten the better deal.

Furthermore, Kiba Yuto wasn't her servant, so this wasn't a betrayal.

"Yes, Issei is a Demon's servant. We are Vampires… it's different now."

Tosca nodded. Recently, her relationship with Issei had become a bit strained, and this was the reason. Kiba Yuto was Rias's servant, and she was Miss Moonlit's servant.

Fundamentally, they were no longer the same kind of people.

No matter how good their relationship was, it was still like that. She and Miss Moonlit were the true insiders; their lives were even shared. They were the closest people.

"There's no need to say that."

It was entirely her own reason for not turning Kiba Yuto into a servant, and she hadn't expected it to lead to this situation between them. But no matter what, she could never bite a boy.

The two continued walking into the campus. Without Kiba Yuto by her side, the jealous stares from the surroundings decreased significantly. However, many people still looked their way, their attention now focused on Miss Moonlit herself.

"Miss Moonlit, have you decided whether you want to enroll?"

After showing Miss Moonlit around the more famous parts of Kuoh Academy, Tosca asked again with anticipation. She really hoped Miss Moonlit would enroll, as it would give her more time to interact with her master.

"...I suppose I could."

After touring Kuoh Academy, Miss Moonlit's inclination shifted towards enrolling.

There were so many beautiful girls at this school. In Ai Li's words, "So many cute girls, this is practically paradise!"

Even if it was nonsense, being able to see so many beautiful girls every day was a great thing.

At the very least, it was pleasing to the eye and made her feel happy both physically and mentally.

With so many beautiful girls, she wouldn't even resist repeating high school.

This was a high school in the island nation. Just imagining the school uniforms and sailor suits of the beautiful girls made her heart flutter.

"That's wonderful!"

Seeing Miss Moonlit's interest, Tosca was very happy.

Then, as if remembering something, Tosca said with a hint of teasing, "If Miss Moonlit becomes a student at Kuoh Academy, then Rias, the most popular beauty, will have to give up her position."

"..."

That's absolutely unnecessary!

While it would be great for her Moonlit Wife to become the most popular beauty, she had no such thoughts at the moment.

"Tosca-san."

Suddenly, a pleasant young girl's voice called out, addressing Tosca.

Turning to look at the person who arrived, she was also a very beautiful young girl with long, nearly dark brown hair and a perfect figure.

"It's Tsubaki-san! Good morning!"
