Chapter 413

Then he muttered something under his breath.

"Traitor."

Chapter Sixteen: You're back, Big Sister

"What did you say?!"

Issei, standing to the side, also frowned as he looked at the two girls.

"Calm down, Issei."

Rias also called him Issei.

One of the girls on the other side also looked at Issei, her eyes hidden in her robes, seemingly lost in thought.

After calling Issei back, Rias also stepped forward and looked at him.

"Is there something you need?"

As she spoke, Rias narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the unidentified object with bandages wrapped around its back.

"The wielder of the Holy Sword!"

"The Holy Sword?!"

Upon hearing the name of the Holy Sword, both Issei and Asia's expressions changed.

Then Issei shielded Asia behind him.

"So... the other party is from the church?"

Just as the two sides were eyeing each other warily, Luo Mio sighed slightly and spoke slowly to the two girls.

"Although I hate to say it, even if you are from the church, your outfits are quite eye-catching right now."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the other person's expression and the atmosphere around them both froze.

Around them, along with Luo Mio and Issei, were many passing Kuoh Academy students looking at them with curious and puzzled eyes and expressions.

As if noticing the gazes of the surrounding students, the other person glanced at Luo Mio, Issei, and Asia again before turning around and leaving the gate of the Kuoh Academy.

Watching them leave, Issei frowned slightly, recalling the words they had just spoken to Luo Mio.

'Traitor!'

"Why call Karen a traitor...?"

Rias, standing to the side, slowly spoke up.

"It might be because of the 'Constraint Cross' of Oath of Judah."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Rias also explained to Issei.

"Judah was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, but he later betrayed Jesus, the Son of God, which led to Jesus' crucifixion."

"And the shape of the 'Constraint Cross' of Oath of Judah is precisely that of a cross."

"Furthermore, Karen is a nun from the church, and she's so close to us demons..."

"And 'Judah' among the twelve disciples of Jesus symbolizes 'betrayal'!"

After hearing Rias's explanation, Issei murmured to himself.

"Is that why they call Karen a traitor...?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Mio gave a helpless, bitter laugh.

Perhaps only he knows that the Oath of Judah is completely different from the Judah recorded in the "Bible" of this world, and is not one of the sacred relics.

However... I guess the angels in Heaven will soon realize this with the help of the "system".

After all, the Oath of Judah in Luo Mio's hands is not the cross that crucified Jesus in this world... After all, the cross that crucified Jesus in this world was the "Execution Platform of the Purple Flame Sacrificer," one of the original thirteen "Longinus"!

Thinking of this, Luo Mio shook her head and then looked at Issei and said.

"You'll be late if you don't go into the classroom now."

"Ah!"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Issei realized what was happening and quickly pulled Asia into the school.

Rias, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up to Luo Mio.

"Are you hiding something from us... and Asia, Karen...?"

After hearing Rias's words, Luo Mio let out a soft breath and then raised her eyes to look at the sky.

"It's not really anything important, since you'll find out soon enough."

After saying that, Luo Mio also strode into the campus.

——

Evening, in the Old School Building garden of the "Occult Research Club".

Luo Mio sat on the Oath of Judah, looking at Issei who had collapsed on the ground, her eyes seeming to be pondering something.

"Even though my body has reached the required level... I still can't use the 'Forbidden Technique'?"

Then Luo Mio looked at Issei's left hand, who had struggled to sit up.

"Ddraig, how much has Issei's body changed since he used 'Forbidden Hand'?"

Then, a jade-like green light suddenly appeared on the back of Issei's left hand.

A deep, powerful, and authoritative voice rang out from within.

"While my partner's physique has improved compared to before, it's unlikely they've yet reached the Perfected Form of the 'Forbidden Hand'."

Since the battle with Raiza, Luo Mio has received a request from Rias, who hopes that she can train Issei to enhance his strength.

Later, during her training with Issei, Luo Mio also had countless conversations with Ddraig.

Even when Luo Mio first appeared in front of Issei, Ddraig was awakened by the powerful aura emanating from Luo Mio.

Luo Mio looked at Issei's left hand and fell into deep thought.

"It seems that besides training, some drastic external changes are also needed..."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Yi Issei asked in confusion, "A drastic change? What is that?"

Luo Mio explained to Issei.

"What were you thinking when you fought Lysa earlier?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Issei was also taken aback for a moment before replying.

"At the time, I was thinking that I absolutely had to beat him and take the Club President back!"

"Yes, that's it."

"The reason you were able to 'forbidden your hand' at that time was partly because you gave your left hand to Ddraig, and partly because of your strong belief or desire."

"You must understand that 'divine artifacts' feed on the wielder's thoughts and beliefs, thus becoming the source of their power!"

"And the 'Forbidden Hand' is the ultimate realm of divine artifacts!"

"When the powerful thoughts, desires, or even anger and hatred of the 'Artifact' wielder violently reverse the 'flow' of this world, the host can achieve Balance Breaker.'"

After hearing Luo Mio's explanation, Issei blinked.

Is that so...?

After glancing at Issei, Luo Mio also lowered her eyes slightly before jumping off the Oath of Judah.

"Alright, let's call it a day for today's training."

"Ah, okay!"

After retracting the Oath of Judah, Luo Mio jokingly said to Issei.

"Speaking of Issei."

"Um?"

"Now that Rias and Asia are sleeping with you every night, can you stand it?"

Hearing Luo Mio's teasing, Issei blushed slightly. Then he said...

Why did you suddenly bring this up?

Issei also scratched the back of his head.

Then, looking at Luo Mio, he wore a bewildered expression that even he couldn't understand.

"Although it might be a bit much to say it out loud."

"But I don't know why, even though you're a girl Karen, every time I talk to you or spend time with you, I always subconsciously treat you like a boy."

Upon hearing this, Luo Mio raised her eyebrows slightly, then murmured with a somewhat subtle expression.

"Is this what a pervert's intuition is like?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

"..."

"It's nothing, hurry home, Asia and Rias are still waiting for you."

"... oh."

——

After parting ways with Issei, Luo Mio headed straight towards her home.

When Luo Mio arrived at her doorstep...

"Um?"

Luo Mio raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at her own front door with a strange expression.

"This feeling..."

Then Luo Mio opened the door and walked towards the living room.

Inside the house, two girls were sitting at the dining table.

These two girls were the same two that Luo Mio had met at the school gate that morning.

At that moment, Hidamaru also came out of the kitchen.

"Ah, you're back, big sister."

Chapter Seventeen: The Joyful Gun - "Prototype - Fairy Bow"

"..."

Luo Mio glanced at the two women sitting at the dining table, then ignored them and walked straight in.

The other party was clearly stunned as well.

Luo Mio was also asking Xiao Yu in her heart.

'Where did you meet them, Xiao Yu?'

"Oh? It's right at my doorstep."

'... At my doorstep?'

'Yeah, they both looked like they fainted from hunger and collapsed at our doorstep.'

Upon hearing Hidamaru's words, Luo Mio also looked at the two women with disdain.

When the other party saw Luo Mio's disgusted expression, they also looked slightly annoyed.

Even they didn't expect that their accidental fainting from hunger would end up at Luo Mio's doorstep, where they would be rescued by Luo Mio's sister.

However, according to their intelligence, Karen Kasalana is an orphan who was raised by the church from a young age and has no sister.

Thinking of this, one of the girls with short hair dyed with azure blue and green highlights looked at Luo Mio with intense hostility in her eyes.

Noticing the hostility in the other person's eyes, Luo Mio also said in an annoyed tone.
