The two weren't related by blood or acquaintance. In the original story, Issei Hyoudou never showed up even when he died multiple times, let alone intervened, but it was still best to be cautious.

If Raynare made the move, picking up the scraps would be much easier.

In the end, it all came down to insufficient strength!

Otherwise, what was Indra compared to her? He actually made her so hesitant. She could never like someone like Indra, who preferred to scheme from behind the scenes!

Then there were the old forces of the Demon King Lucifer and the Underworld's Sovereign Hades; she disliked every single one of them.

But now, Miss Moonlit was confident she could spar with a Super Demon King, but she didn't have much confidence against Sovereigns and Transcenders.

Damn it, if she were Great Sage Equalling Heaven right now, she wouldn't care if they were Transcenders, Dragon Gods, or Evil Gods; she'd just blast them with a single spear, clearing their entire worlds.

No, she couldn't think like that. Wasn't that looking down on her Moonlit Wife?

Moreover, with Miss Moonlit's abilities, it wasn't impossible to surpass these guys.

"Fallen Angel? Could it be that they're also after... his Divine Artifact."

Tosca felt a bit ashamed. She hadn't even realized the girl in front of her was a Fallen Angel at first. It was truly inexcusable.

But since she was a Fallen Angel, it wasn't surprising. It seemed Issei Hyoudou's body truly contained a formidable Divine Artifact.

"Miss Moonlit, do we need to do anything?"

Looking at the disguised Fallen Angel ahead, Tosca's eyes showed a hint of hostility. That guy was trying to interfere with the Divine Artifact her master had set his sights on.

"No need."

"We don't need to bother with them for now. In fact, it's better this way..."

Pulling Tosca back to stop her from meddling further, Miss Moonlit asked Ai-chan mentally.

'Ai-chan, how powerful are the Transcenders and Sovereigns? Can I handle them now?'

Although she felt it was highly unlikely to have any problems, and that Indra wouldn't make a move just because Issei Hyoudou did something, she still had to ensure everything was foolproof.

[I can only say that Boss, you won't die!]

'That's enough.'

As long as she wouldn't die, it was worth the gamble.

No Sacred Gear was easy to obtain. "Sephiroths Cup" was already super easy mode. Issei Hyoudou's Sacred Gear was also simple, but Indra's existence was the troublesome part.

[Actually, Boss, you don't need to worry. Ai-chan has trial cards for sale. As long as you complete the main quest in any world, and the current character is SSS-ranked, then whether it's "Herrscher of Finality," "Herrscher of Origin," "Herrscher of Reason," or "Herrscher of Life and Death," they're all 8888 Crystals for one minute.]

"..."

This Ai-chan was quite something!

She could have just robbed her of 8888 Crystals, but instead, she gave her a one-minute trial card.

But Herrscher of Finality!

Even the so-called exe mechanical Evil Gods would be no match for the Herrscher of Finality, right?

It was just that the restrictions were too high; not only did you have to complete the main quest, but the character also had to be SSS-ranked.

However, if she really reached that point, it wouldn't be impossible to try. As long as she found the coordinates of the exe World, one minute would be enough to use the Herrscher of Finality's power to deal with an Evil God.

Even if it cost 8888 Crystals, it would be a huge profit.

Tsk, why was she thinking so much? She was only S+2 right now, still a long way from SSS-rank and needing quite a few fragments.

"Damn it! Issei, this guy... a beautiful girl actually confessed to him."

"Why! I don't understand, I don't understand!"

At the school entrance, Matsuda and Motohama watched as the beautiful girl named Yuma Amano confessed to Issei Hyoudou, feeling utterly envious and jealous.

He desperately grabbed his hair, pondering for a long time without understanding where he had lost.

They were all similar, weren't they? They had agreed to be hated by all the girls in school together and remain single dogs forever. Why would a girl be blind enough to fall for Issei Hyoudou?

Looking at the pure and cute Yuma Amano, Matsuda and Motohama's back teeth were grinding with envy!

Their relationship was indeed very good, but it was like the saying, "afraid your brother suffers, afraid your brother drives a Land Rover." It was the same for them.

They could still comfort themselves as long as the three of them were roughly equal.

But Issei Hyoudou had instantly widened the gap between them, which was hard to accept...

At this moment, Issei Hyoudou was stunned by the confession, but after reacting, especially noticing the envious and jealous looks from his close friends and the incredulous gazes of others, he felt incredibly smug inside.

He couldn't believe he had such good luck with women.

Although the girl in front of him was a bit inferior to Senior Theresa and Senior Rias, she was still an incredibly beautiful girl.

How could he refuse a confession from such a girl?

Recovering from his bewilderment, Issei Hyoudou nodded in flattered surprise and agreed to meet at the park tomorrow.

Wu~ Love comes so fast, like a tornado...

After waiting for Yuma Amano, Issei Hyoudou immediately returned the game he had borrowed to his best friend, excitedly saying he wouldn't need it anymore.

After showing off to his friend for a bit, he happily left school.

In a classroom not far away, Rias had been watching everything that happened there, also lost in thought.

Fallen Angel...

"Let's go, we should head back too!"

No longer needing to interact with Issei Hyoudou, Moonlit turned and said to Tosca.

"Mm."

Tosca was still a little lost, not quite understanding Moonlit's intentions, but she couldn't be bothered to think too much about it; doing her own tasks was enough.

"Oh right, Tosca, want to go look at houses together tomorrow?"

Although living at Tosca's place these past few days hadn't been bad, it was still too small. It was already a tight squeeze for just the two of them.

She needed to find a bigger place.

She planned to develop more Servants to increase her strength, and at the very least, she needed a place for her Servants to gather.

"Huh? Are we moving?"

Tosca was a bit reluctant upon hearing this. She actually felt that things were perfectly fine as they were.

It was also convenient for taking care of her master.

"Yeah, to a bigger place."

"Alright."

Despite her reluctance, Tosca couldn't bring herself to refuse.

The last sliver of sunset vanished from the horizon.

The streetlights in the park lit up one after another, casting a dim glow.

The bright moonlight spilled onto the ground, making the bloodstains appear even more scarlet.

"Trash, truly weak garbage..."

"To think I wasted my entire day for a lowly human like you, Issei-kun."

With a pair of jet-black wings on her back, and using only ribbon-like items to support her ample bosom, Raynare was no longer the pure image she had previously projected.

Although she had still had fun, especially seeing how she had toyed with him, making him act like an idiot.

He actually thought she liked him. Who would like such trash? The person she liked had always been Lord Azazel.

And all of this...

Her confession, their dates, it was all just a mission from Lord Azazel.

"I thought you possessed some amazing Divine Artifact that would warrant Lord Azazel's attention, but it turns out to be just the common Dragon's Hand..."

Raynare's lips curled into a sneer as she looked at Issei Hyoudou, who had collapsed on the ground.

"Well, as long as the mission is completed, that's fine."

Despite her disappointment with Issei Hyoudou's Divine Artifact, Raynare didn't dwell on it too much. At least she had completed her Lord's mission.

"However, for all of this... if you want to hate someone, hate the God who let the Divine Artifact reside within your body!"

Leaving those words behind, Raynare flapped her jet-black wings and prepared to leave the scene.

However, the very next moment, her expression changed, her body instantly turned cold, her wings stiffened... and she fell from mid-air.

"Who's there?!"

Raynare's face turned extremely grim. An unexpected event had occurred.

"What a blind and foolish Fallen Angel."

"The renowned Sacred Gear, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Cage, being mistaken for just the Dragon's Hand. It's like having treasure right in front of you and not recognizing it!"

A pleasant maiden's voice rang out from not far away. Raynare's face contorted with extreme displeasure as she looked in the direction behind her. At some point, a beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes had appeared nearby.

Raynare was astonished by this person's appearance, as she hadn't detected her at all. She was even more shocked by her words – that the Divine Artifact within Issei Hyoudou wasn't some Dragon's Hand, but the Sacred Gear, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Cage?

What a joke!

How could a Sacred Gear, such a powerful Divine Artifact, be inside that guy?

"How could it be the Sacred Gear, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Cage?!"

"And who are you? What do you want?"

Raynare stared intently at the girl before her, unable to determine her identity. Was she a Demon? A Yokai? Or perhaps another Artifact Wielder?

"Who I am is not important. What's important is what happens to you next, you foolish Fallen Angel?"

Miss Moonlit casually cast a barrier here, after all, it was in a park, to prevent ordinary people from seeing the situation. Over the years, Miss Moonlit's strength had not only improved in terms of Valkyrie and Divine Artifacts, but she had also learned some necessary magic.

The hypnosis magic of vampires, and the incantations of the Church and Northern Europe.

This world was a super hodgepodge, with most mythological systems existing. Miss Moonlit wouldn't let go of any convenient and practical magic.

Anyway, with high-level skill materials, as long as she mastered the basics, she could immediately use them to quickly reach mastery.

"Let me think..."

She sized up the enchanting Fallen Angel before her. Personally, Miss Moonlit didn't like this typical Fallen Angel attire.

To her, it was too revealing and lacked charm.

The style of mhy suited her preferences better.

Even Raynare looked more charming in ordinary clothes or a school uniform than in this Fallen Angel getup.

"Miss Fallen Angel, should I kill you directly? Or should I make you someone you can't afford to offend?"

Unlike how she dealt with other Fallen Angels, Miss Moonlit didn't kill her immediately. Instead, she was contemplating.

Firstly, this girl was Issei Hyoudou's first love. She looked good playing the pure and cute Yuma Amano, so killing her just like that felt a bit of a waste.

Secondly, considering the Fallen Angels, she didn't know much about them yet. Having an inside informant would be good!

Thirdly, the girl was still thinking about Azazel's Artificial Artifacts. Raynare was Azazel's pawn, although that governor never really cared about her, always ready to discard her.

"...Or perhaps I should kill you first!"

Seeing the girl in front of her pondering how to deal with her, Raynare's expression turned incredibly grim. She was an extremely proud Fallen Angel, and she couldn't stand this.

Light energy condensed, and in a very short time, she conjured two spears of light with both hands, viciously throwing them at the girl before her.

Although she was only a two-winged Fallen Angel, her strength was considered top-tier among them, almost reaching the level of a four-winged Fallen Angel.

This was also the source of her usual arrogance when facing her fellow Fallen Angels.
