When It Comes to Stealing Men, First Come, First Served

As he said this, Odin not only revealed a lewd smile, but also made obscene gestures with both hands.

Snap!

Rossweisse, who was standing next to him, finally reached her limit and slammed a folding fan hard on Odin's head.

Even at this critical juncture, he's still being so indecent. If she knew Odin was such a lecherous old man, she wouldn't have bothered trying so hard to become a Valkyrie!

"That's enough, Lord Odin!"

Not to mention her, Rias and Akeno Himejima also looked at Odin with disdain.

Although they only spent a short day together, they were initially quite apprehensive, as they, as high-ranking demons, never imagined that one day they would become Odin's guards.

However, Odin's various actions throughout the day completely shattered everyone's illusions about the god-king.

In comparison, even Ren's habit of frequently glancing at their chests seemed much more innocent.

"Cough cough!"

Odin coughed a few times before realizing that Ren had gotten him into trouble.

Just as he was about to retort, he heard Ren say, "While Odin is indeed a lecherous old man, he's not wrong either. He can't hide forever if Loki doesn't show up."

Loki's hatred for the Bible's influence is evident from his past actions. Ever since the Bible was introduced into Norse Mythology, Loki has harbored deep resentment towards Bible influence.

However, at that time, the Heaven Realm was at its peak, with God in charge, and all the pantheons in the world could only hold their noses and obediently allow the other side's missionaries to enter their territory.

It's no exaggeration to say that a god who can hold a grudge for a thousand years is petty.

Therefore, Loki is highly likely to attack Odin again in the near future.

"Since that's the case, let's turn the tables on them and use Odin as bait to lure Loki out."

"Ahem, that's right, that's exactly what I'm thinking. As for going to brothels, that's just part of the battle plan to lure Loki out."

Odin secretly gave Ren an approving look.

Although this guy occasionally plays tricks on him, he can at least pull him out of trouble.

Afterwards, Odin felt he could treat Ren to a double massage.

He treated everyone, but he paid for it!

After establishing a general direction, everyone decided to wait until tomorrow to decide on a detailed battle plan.

Rossweisse and Odin had already moved to the Underworld for refuge.

Just as Ren was about to leave, the Gremory teleportation array in the Occult Research Club lit up.

The person who appeared was none other than a butler from the Gremory Family.

"Miss, the master and madam have told you to return to the Underworld for refuge during this period."

"Father, and Mother? How did they know about this? I know, it must have been my brother who told him."

Rias was surprised at first, but quickly realized what was going on.

However, Rias was never a good girl, and she directly refused her family's request.

"No, I can't go back. Kuoh Town is my territory. How can I just stand by and watch an enemy invade while I cower like a coward?"

Upon hearing this, Ren agreed with Rias's courage and attitude. If strength were disregarded, Rias was indeed a qualified lord.

Moreover, speaking of this part of the plot, Ren suddenly remembered something.

In the scene where Odin is attacked, even though they know the enemy is Loki, Rias and her group are still assigned to be Odin's bodyguards. I don't know what the people of the Underworld are thinking.

Let's first look at the combat strength comparison.

In the original work, Odin's bodyguards were Azazel and Baiqiu, in addition to the main characters.

However, because the storyline was altered by Ren, Odin only had Rias and a few others as bodyguards when he stayed in Kuoh Town.

Now let's look at Loki's fighting strength.

Besides being the chief god of Norse mythology, he also brought a dog.

Oh, no, it's a wolf.

Moreover, it has a famous title. "Fenrir, the Fang of Godslayer".

In Norse Mythology, Fenrir was Loki's first child with the giantess Angrboða.

The giant serpent Jörmungandr and the Grim Reaper Hel are its younger brother and sister, respectively.

The reason it has the prestigious title of "Fang of Godslayer" is because of its feat of killing Odin, the king of the gods, during Ragnarok.

Based on this alone, it's easy to see just how powerful Fenrir is.

In the world of High School DxD, Loki's origins are unknown to Ren, but Fenrir possesses genuine Transcendent power.

Under these circumstances, it's rather baffling that Rias and her group were assigned to be Odin's guards and participate in the campaign against Loki.

All I can say is that her family in the original drama was incredibly carefree, always making their children take the blame for everything.

Chapter 177 Stealing a Man: First Come, First Served

Chapter 177

If it weren't for the protagonist's halo, Rias's antics in the original work alone would have been enough to kill her several times over.

However, since Rias and he still have some kind of master-disciple relationship, he also intends to advise them to lay low for a while.

But Rias then changed the subject, saying, "If I'm always under protection, I'll never grow. Besides, my master is also guarding Lord Odin this time. If you don't trust me, don't you trust him?"

"Please pass these words on to my parents."

"Alright, miss."

Having said all that, the deacon had no choice but to leave again via the teleportation array.

About ten minutes later, the butler reappeared.

"Miss, Master and Madam have agreed to your continued stay in Kuoh Town, but they also ask Lord Ren to keep a close eye on their willful daughter. That's what Master said."

After the butler finished speaking, he walked up to Ren and presented Ren with an exquisite wooden box with both hands.

"Mr. Ren, this is a gift from the master and mistress to express their gratitude for your continued care of my daughter."

Ren took it and opened it. Inside, instead of some precious materials or magical artifacts unique to the Underworld, was a set of keys.

"This is the key to the castle. It's located near Lilith City, with a very convenient location and transportation. The castle has butlers and maids who are responsible for its daily maintenance."

"Don't worry, Rias is practically my apprentice, so helping her is just a small thing."

After hearing this, Ren thought to himself that the Gremory Family was really rich and powerful, and at the same time, he casually stuffed the key into his pocket.

Others would give gold or a car as gifts, or at most a house if they were high-end, but the Gremory Family went a step further and gave him a castle.

Gremory's wealth is only mid-to-upper tier in the entire Underworld, so just how rich is the Phenex family, the most powerful family?

Seeing that Ren accepted the gift, the butler bowed to Ren and Rias before leaving again.

Once the Occult Research Club was completely empty of outsiders, Rias smiled sweetly at Ren and said, "Then, Master, please guide me from now on."

"Everyone, I'll be taking my leave now."

After greeting everyone, Kiba Yuuto also left the Occult Research Club via the teleportation array.

He left with a resolute expression, realizing his own shortcomings and planning to return and train even harder.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Ren shrugged and was about to leave.

Upon hearing this, the Koneko cleverly stood beside him.

"Minister, see you tomorrow, Senior Akeno."

When Rias saw the Koneko waving blankly at her, preparing to leave with Ren, Rias called out to stop it.

"Wait a moment."

The girl with long, deep red hair stared intently at Ren and said, "Master, since we're preparing to formulate a battle plan against Loki in the coming days, could I also stay at your place? That would make communication easier."

"?"

Ren was taken aback, but since a beautiful girl had volunteered to stay, he had no reason to refuse.

"Oh, Mr. Ren, may I?"

After giving Rias a subtle glance, Akeno Himejima followed up with her request.

"Although I am not your disciple, I did study under you for a period of time, and I am also very good at housekeeping and have some experience in massage and acupressure."

After speaking, Rias glanced at Akeno Himejima without leaving a trace.

Forget about housekeeping skills, what's with the massage and acupressure?

Akeno Himejima noticed Rias glancing at her out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't seem to care.

Aside from the fact that Ren's harsh comments about her initially made her have a bad impression of him, as time went by and so many things happened, Ren became more and more pleasing to her eyes.

She's reached the age where she should be dating.

Ren's appearance clearly made him the best candidate in her mind.

As for Rias's thoughts, judging from Akeno Himejima's own guess, they should be roughly the same as Rias's.

Although their initial impressions were all bad, whether it was the incident with Kokabiel, the attack by the three major forces, their daily training and interactions, or their successful defeat of Riser, which led to Rias breaking off her engagement with him.

If it were Akeno Himejima herself, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to tie herself up and send herself to Ren' bed that very night to express her gratitude, allowing him to do whatever he wanted with her.

However, Rias is too hesitant and indecisive in some aspects.

But I'm sorry, Rias, there are some things I can give in to, but there are others I can't.

When it comes to stealing men, it's naturally a first-come, first-served situation.

"Sure, the house was recently renovated by your Underworld construction team, so it can accommodate quite a few people."

Ren nodded.

That being said, he has not actually investigated the extent to which Rias had renovated the house.

However, it's said that in addition to the three floors above ground, three more floors were rebuilt underground. I'll have to familiarize myself with them sometime, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if I got lost in my own home and someone told them.

"That's great, Mr. Ren, but it might not be possible tonight. I need to go back and pack my things. I'll have to bother you again tomorrow."

Akeno Himejima was overjoyed.

"Rias, what about you?"

I asked Ren asked.

"I'm in the same boat as Akeno, you should go back first."

After smilingly seeing Ren off, Rias turned to look at Akeno Himejima, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"Akeno, what's with packing your luggage?"

"Huh? Of course, it means exactly what it says. If you go and stay there tonight, you won't have many things, and life will be very inconvenient."

Akeno Himejima smiled and said, her eyes narrowed.

You know that's not what I meant.

"Oh?"

"I can tell you clearly intend to stay with him for an extended period, can't you?"

A glint of wisdom shone in Rias's eyes.

"Huh? You actually noticed. So Rias, you have a smart side too."

Akeno Himejima covered her mouth and laughed.

"Don't try to fool me, you must have other motives, right?"

Rias crossed her arms and asked seriously.

"What other motives does Rias think I might have?"

Akeno Himejima said in a charming tone.

"I can tell you clearly want to..."
