Chapter 405

——

Small theater.

Looking at the kitchen in her home, Luo Mio glanced at the Judah tattoo on her arm and muttered to herself.

"Should we try developing a new 'Judah' model...?"

As she spoke, Luo Mio summoned Judah.

It is known Judah now has a variety of modes in addition to the original Restraint Chain Gun and Restraint Shield modes, including 'Height Increase Mode', 'Spirit Blade Mode', 'Gravity Attack Mode', and 'Hovering Vehicle Mode'.

It even has a kitchen knife and utensil mode, but it lacks a self-cooking mode...

After glancing at the strange black dish she had cooked on the plate, Luo Mio slowly turned her gaze to Judah.

"..."

An unknown amount of time passed.

"I'm back."

Hidamaru's voice rang out.

As she approached the kitchen door, Hidamaru stood there with her mouth slightly agape, staring in astonishment at the scene inside.

Luo Mio placed 'Judah' on the ground. Its golden-black shell seemed to have been removed, revealing its true form. The red patterns seemed to shimmer faintly, like a shy girl.

Luo Mio, holding various toys, slowly extended them towards 'Judah'.

"Lee Jae-gan is a god or demon..."

Chapter 8: Sirzechs's Request

Rias looked at her brother sitting opposite her.

"Demon King" Sirzechs Lucifer!

Despite being one of the current Four Great Demon Lords, Sirzechs did not have the serious and unapproachable atmosphere that Issei and Asia had imagined.

He had the same vibrant red hair as Rias, and a very gentle smile on his handsome face.

The immense and terrifying pressure he had just felt had vanished, and now he looked just like an ordinary nobleman.

The silver-haired, mature maid beside him quietly poured hot tea for Sirzechs.

Rias looked at Sirzechs with a rather helpless expression.

"Really, brother, if you, as the Demon King, were to come to the mortal realm, you should at least have told me first."

A helpless expression appeared on Sirzechs's handsome face.

"It's all because Rias reported the day before yesterday that some extraordinary humans had appeared in your territory, so I hurriedly finished my work and rushed over."

After saying that, Sirzechs looked at Luo Mio, who was leaning against the windowsill, eating an apple and looking at the scenery outside the window.

Luo Mio also noticed Sirzechs's gaze and turned her head back with a calm expression.

"What?"

Rias, standing behind Issei, was slightly taken aback when he heard Sirzechs's words.

The day before yesterday... that was when I and the Club President first met Luo Mio. At that time... did the Club President already sense Karen's strength?

Thinking of this, Issei couldn't help but lower his eyes and look at his left hand.

On the day he met Luo Mio, Issei's left hand, holding the "Boosted Gear," had been experiencing a persistent, dull, throbbing pain.

And the power that surged from the cage last night is still fresh in Issei's memory.

At this moment, Sirzechs also spoke up and asked Luo Mio a question.

"Lady Karen."

"Actually, I want to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing Sirzechs's request, Luo Mio raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You say."

Then Sirzechs's entire body emitted a magical hue, which slightly brightened even amidst his rage.

Luo Mio did not offer any resistance upon seeing this.

Sirzechs's voice was transmitted into Luo Mio's mind.

Then Luo Mio looked at Sirzechs.

So what do you want to commission?

Upon hearing Luo Mio's voice, Sirzechs slowly spoke as well.

Actually, I hope you...

After hearing Sirzechs's request, Luo Mio also showed a thoughtful expression, and then asked.

'So when was that?'

Upon hearing Luo Mio's question, Sirzechs paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

'Probably in about fifteen days.'

'Fifteen days later...'

Luo Mio pondered for a moment, then looked at Sirzechs with a playful and teasing gaze in her azure eyes.

'But is it really okay?'

'Um?'

'If you were to entrust me with this task, it would be a slap in the face to you, "Crimson-Haired Demon Lord" Sirzechs Lucifer.'

After speaking, Luo Mio's lips gradually turned up, revealing an arrogant and confident expression.

"Furthermore, my methods might be a bit extreme. In that case, not only you, but the entire Demon World could lose face because of me."

Sirzechs smiled slightly in response to Luo Mio's words.

'It's alright.'

'After all, it's for Rias; I don't care about saving face.'

Sensing the same aura behind Sirzechs that was just like her own... the aura of a sister complex, Luo Mio couldn't help but click her tongue.

'However... I have another idea.'

As she spoke, Luo Mio glanced at Rias behind Issei.

Following Luo Mio's gaze, Sirzechs also looked at Issei, who was standing behind Rias looking Issei.

Then Sirzechs's gaze also fell on Issei's left hand.

'Is that so... "The Welsh Dragon."'

Then Luo Mio also said.

'But before that, as you said, Rias will play a "Rating Game" with the other party to break off the engagement, right?'

'Yes, knowing Rias's personality, she will definitely use this method to break off the engagement.'

Upon hearing Sirzechs's words, Luo Mio's expression became slightly subtle.

'But if you're going to help Rias break off this engagement, why are you agreeing with your father's opinion?'

Upon hearing this, Sirzechs's expression was like that of a child playing a prank.

'Of course, it's just to teach my father a little lesson.'

Then Sirzechs's expression also showed a hint of helplessness.

'It's certainly a good thing for Pure-blooded Devil to mate with each other, but in this generation, pure-blooded individuals don't necessarily give birth to powerful Pure-blooded Devil.'

'Father and Lord Phenex are far too greedy. They already have pure-blooded offspring, yet they still want more.'

'Perhaps this is the inherent nature of demons... excessive greed.'

Upon hearing this, Luo Mio looked at Rias and said something.

'The main reason is probably because they witnessed the previous Great War of the Three Factions.'

Upon hearing Luo Mio mention the great war between the Three Great Powers, Sirzechs's eyes lit up slightly.

'I didn't expect Lady Karen to even know about that great battle.'

Luo Mio shrugged.

'I know a little bit.'

The Three Great Powers are the three mythical powers in the Bible.

Demons, Fallen Angel, angels!

The Three Great Powers at that time engaged in an unprecedented war in their quest for world domination!

The battle was devastating, with Pure-blooded Devil, Fallen Angel, and angels all suffering heavy casualties. After the battle, all Three Great Powers were in a state of extreme weakness.

Pure-blooded Devil are even rarer.

The only Pure-blooded Devil exist only within the Seventy-Two Pillars noble families.

It is quite common among demons for Gremory and Phenex, both members of the Seventy-Two Pillars of Nobility, to enter into a marriage agreement.

After all, it's Old Era idea. The idea that "the union of purebloods will give birth to a more powerful demon" still influences some demons from the Old Era.

But Sirzechs understood.

The ideas of the Old Era are no longer needed in this generation.

Luo Mio looked at Sirzechs, then recalled the conversation they had just had.

A major battle Three Great Powers.

The reason why that battle made the demons and angels so weak was fundamentally because the original "Four Great Demon Lords" and the "God of the Bible" had perished in that battle!

If the news of the death of the "God of the Bible" were to reach the ears of the churches on earth, their faith would probably collapse instantly.

Even now, the Three Great Powers demons, angels, and Fallen Angel, having endured such a long war, are still not recovered.

After a moment of silence, Luo Mio smiled and said to Sirzechs.

I have a general understanding of the details of the commission.

'So please rest assured, Your Majesty.'

I will definitely attend the engagement party.

Chapter Nine: 'Hey, roast chicken, have you decided how you're going to make up for my ice cream?'

After accepting the commission, Luo Mio Sirzechs left the "Occult Research Club" with his silver-haired maid.

Before Sirzechs left, he also asked Luo Mio to join the "Occult Research Club" in the hope that she could help Rias and Issei when they were in danger.

Luo Mio shrugged at Sirzechs's request and then agreed without hesitation.

After all, even if Sirzechs didn't bring it up, Rias would probably extend an invitation to him later.

After Sirzechs left, Rias explained the engagement to Issei, Asia, Akeno Himejima, and the other demon familiars.

If Rias wants to break off her engagement with the Phoenix Family, the only way is to play the "Rating Game"!

Issei looked quite confused when he heard about Rating Game.

"Rating Game?"

Hearing Issei's question, Rias explained on his behalf to Issei and Asia.

Luo Mio, who was standing to the side, also narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Rating Game"

It is a game created by Ajuka Beelzebub, the Second Generation Beelzebub, one of the current "Four Great Demon Lords Kings", based on chess in the real world.

Because after the Great War of the Three Factions, many of the original Seventy-Two Pillars families lost their Pure-blooded Devil descendants.

Therefore, Ajuka Beelzebub developed "Devil Chess Pieces" to reincarnate other races, thereby increasing the number of demons.
