Chapter 403
"Um?"
Three figures walked towards Luo Mio.
It was Issei, Rias, Asia.
When Luo Mio saw the other person, the other person also noticed Luo Mio.
The other person was slightly taken aback when they saw that it was Luo Mio.
Upon seeing that it was Issei and his group, Luo Mio smiled gently at them.
"Good morning, Hyoudou-san and Asia- san."
Issei saw Luo Mio, he was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed to Luo Mio.
"Thank you so much for yesterday, Karen."
"And I even attacked you yesterday... I'm very sorry."
Last night, after Luo Mio left, they briefly checked their mother for any wounds. Then, Issei Rias went upstairs to Issei's room, while Asia stayed by Mitsuki Hyoudou's side, keeping a close eye on her condition.
The moment they opened the door, Issei Rias saw Freed's body lying on their room floor!
Issei and Rias had already met Freed before.
At that time, Issei also knew that he would run into Freed again.
But Issei never expected that Freed would set his sights on his mother!
For Freed, who harbors hostility and murderous intent towards monsters, his mother, being a demon herself, is also a monster.
At this point, Rias also compared the blood from Freed's corpse with the blood sprayed in the corridor.
This confirmed that the blood in the mother's body was Freed's.
Looking at Freed's corpse, Issei couldn't help but feel a pang of fear.
If Luo Mio hadn't discovered that Freed was planning to harm her mother, she probably would have returned to find her mother's corpse.
In response to Issei's thanks and apology, Luo Mio chuckled and waved her hand to indicate that it was nothing.
"It was just on my way. After all, my classmate's mother was in mortal danger, so it was only right to lend a hand."
Looking at Luo Mio, Issei also spoke.
"No matter what, thank you very much."
Afterwards Luo Mio walked with Issei, Asia, and Rias on their way to the Kuoh Academy.
Seeing Issei and Asia chatting in front of her, Rias, who was next to Luo Mio, quietly spoke up.
"As a nun from the church, why have you come to our devils' territory and chosen to help us?"
Upon hearing Rias's question, Luo Mio glanced at her and then spoke calmly.
"Although I don't know how the intelligence you have describes me, I can tell you very clearly."
"I do not belong to the church, nor to the 'angels,' nor to any mythological power."
Luo Mio's answer also made Rias's eyes flicker slightly.
"As for the title 'nun,' it's just that I like to call myself that."
"So you don't need to worry at all."
After saying that, Luo Mio took out another small steamed bun from the plastic bag, put it in front of her pink lips, and swallowed it in one gulp. Her chubby cheeks made Luo Mio look like a hamster.
Seeing Luo Mio's adorable way of eating xiaolongbao, Rias also showed an amused expression.
Despite possessing immense power comparable to a demon king, Fallen Angel governor, or an angel seraphim.
But now, she looks just like an ordinary, gluttonous human girl.
Rias continued to ask questions.
"And the cross you gave Asia yesterday..."
After swallowing the xiaolongbao, Luo Mio replied.
"It's just a little gadget I made myself, it's not very useful."
Hearing Luo Mio's tone, Rias felt slightly embarrassed.
Despite her outward appearance, she looks like a well-to-do young lady from a wealthy family, but her words and actions lack any semblance of such demeanor.
"Coo coo coo—!"
Just as Rias was still confused, a loud voice rang out beside her.
Even Issei Asia, who were walking ahead, turned around when they heard the sound.
"..."
Rias stared wide-eyed at the plastic bag of xiaolongbao that Luo Mio had already finished eating in her hand, her mouth slightly agape.
Luo Mio scratched her cheek, looking slightly embarrassed, and said to Issei.
"Um... where else around here can I buy breakfast?"
——
"Ah."
After finishing the last piece of toast, Luo Mio sighed and rubbed her stomach.
"I finally feel a little bit full."
"..."
Issei Asia, standing to the side, listened to Luo Mio's words with embarrassed expressions.
You should know that when Luo Mio's stomach was growling, Issei took Luo Mio to the nearest street stall selling ramen.
Rias, on the other hand, headed towards the Kuoh Academy ahead of everyone else because of some matters concerning the "Mysterious Research Club".
Then, Luo Mio forced herself to eat three large bowls of ramen at the ramen stall. If it weren't for the lack of time, Luo Mio probably would have continued eating there.
While at the roadside, Luo Mio bought a few more toasts to eat.
I was barely full after eating all this...
If they hadn't left early today, they probably would have been late by now.
Luo Mio wiped her nose, looking slightly embarrassed, and said...
"I'm sorry, I never had such a big appetite before."
Issei quickly waved his hand.
"It's alright, it's alright. This is a good opportunity to repay you for saving my mother."
Just then, as they were about to enter the gate of the Kuoh Academy.
"Yo, Issei- kun, Asia."
"Ah, Kiba."
On another road near the school gate, a tall, handsome young man with light blond hair greeted Issei and Asia.
When he saw Luo Mio next to Issei Asia, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Luo Mio also noticed Kiba's gaze, and then said to Issei Asia, "Then I'll go to the classroom first, see you later."
"Good."
After saying that, Luo Mio walked into the school gate.
Standing at the school gate, Kiba watched Luo Mio's retreating figure and slowly spoke.
"I remember she was that transfer student..."
"Um."
Clearly noticing Kiba's gaze and serious tone, Issei also said, "Something happened last night."
"In short, the other side is not our enemy."
After hearing Issei's explanation, Kiba's previously serious and wary expression relaxed, and he looked at Issei with a gentle expression.
"Since Issei- kun has said so..."
"But..."
After hearing Kiba's punctuation, Issei asked with a puzzled expression.
"But what?"
"I feel like your attitude towards her is a bit strange, Issei- kun."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Kiba looked at Issei and said.
"It's Issei you look at any girl with a sly look, but you don't look at her at all."
Upon hearing Kiba's words, Issei's expression froze for a moment.
"And it's not just their gaze, but also their words and actions."
Then, Issei looked at Luo Mio's striking white hair and back view among the many students.
"..."
Kiba's reminder also served as a wake-up call for Issei.
As the notorious pervert of the entire Kuoh Academy, Issei couldn't take his eyes off pretty girls' breasts.
Luo Mio is among the top students in the school in terms of both figure and appearance.
But for some reason, Issei couldn't look at Luo Mio with any desire in his eyes.
'Could it be because she saved my mom...?'
Chapter Seven: "Demon King" Sirzechs Lucifer!
"Ah..."
During the lunch break, only Luo Mio, Issei, Asia remained in the classroom.
Luo Mio let out a long sigh and gently bumped her head on the table.
Then, with a helpless expression, he touched his stomach.
"Coo coo coo..."
All that could be heard from the classroom was a cooing sound.
Half a day hasn't even passed yet...
Luo Mio's stomach rumbled again.
"Ha... it seems I underestimated the Kallen Family's genes."
"That..."
At this moment, Asia walked over to Luo Mio, carrying a lunchbox, and said to Luo Mio with a light laugh.
"Want to eat together, Karen?"
Looking at the lunchbox in Asia's hand, Luo Mio scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly.
"I'm so sorry, I already troubled you so much this morning."
Asia shook her head and then said in a very gentle voice.
"No, I should be thanking Karen."
"Not only did it save Issei- san's mother, but it also saved this cross."
As she spoke, Asia took out the exquisite gold and black cross that Luo Mio had given her yesterday.
"Every time I hold it, I can feel a very warm breath, and every time I hold it, my headache from praying to the Lord also disappears."
Upon hearing Asia's words, Luo Mio's lips curled up slightly.
"Asia, you are so kind and lovely that people can't help but give you gifts."
