Chapter 31 - The Red Dragon Emperor and Sadalmelik-Albus

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for seizing Fifth-Tier luck and obtaining the Longinus-Boosted Gear."

Hmm?

Hiro glanced at the semi-transparent crimson dragon-claw gauntlet displayed in the system item bar. A faint sense of unease surfaced in his mind.

Before he could think it through, he remembered something important.

There was a super-spec telepath standing right next to him.

He immediately straightened his thoughts.

Since he already had it, he could think about everything else after returning.

Grayfia-sama is amazing. Big boss, big boss, can you hear me?

He muttered inwardly.

Out of the corner of his eye, the silver-haired maid to his right gave a very slight nod.

Hiro: ...

"Hiro! Hiro! Are you listening?"

"Yes, yes." Hearing Rias's slightly annoyed voice, he replied casually. "I already said it. I can help with the busy work, but becoming a devil or anything like that-let's forget it."

Becoming Rias's reincarnated devil servant would at most get him a beautiful fiancée.

As for usefulness?

Almost none.

Night vision? He already had it.

Immortality? Was that even a question?

As for the strength increase from reincarnation, to him now, it was barely better than nothing.

More importantly-

"Rias, after seeing what I just did, do you still think you can take me as your servant?" Hiro looked at her calmly.

"As far as I know, the reincarnation effect of Evil Pieces shouldn't work on targets far stronger than the king, right?"

"..."

Rias froze.

Only now did she realize this critical issue.

Indeed.

She wasn't her brother.

He could reincarnate a Maou-level Sacred Beast as a servant, but she-

Where would she get that kind of authority?

Judging purely by magic power, Hiro's exceeded that Sacred Beast by a wide margin.

"Rias-sama, my mission in the human world is complete. I will return to the Underworld first."

Grayfia broke the silence, her tone flat.

"According to the decision of the Council and Sirzechs-sama, your Rating Game with Riser-sama has been scheduled for ten days from now, at ten o'clock in the evening, in the human world."

"Thank you for your hard work, Grayfia."

After bowing slightly toward Rias, a silver-white light flashed beneath Grayfia's feet, and her figure vanished from the clubroom.

Whoosh-

Watching her disappear, Hiro let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Having someone nearby who possessed telepathy-and seemed to be watching you at all times-was far too uncomfortable.

Not only could he not think about the system, his past life, or the nature of the world, but even the words steal and begin that he'd silently muttered while glancing at Rias earlier should have been fully within Grayfia's awareness.

If Grayfia were his own person, even slightly violating the transmigrator rule of hiding one's origins wouldn't be much of an issue.

But-

They had only met today.

He had obtained Leviathan's magic power trait from Ingvild Leviathan.

He had obtained Boosted Gear from Rias.

Coincidence?

Or were there details he hadn't noticed?

And since there was already a Boosted Gear gauntlet out there...

Did this one still contain Ddraig's soul?

Hiro stared briefly at the fiery red dragon-shaped gauntlet in the system item bar.

Then his gaze shifted to the silver-white "5" floating above Akeno's head.

"Steal."

"Ding! The time required for this extraction is 17 minutes. Do you wish to begin?"

"Yes."

"Current mission: Obtain Akeno's bust, waist, and hip measurements. Remaining time reduced by 15 minutes."

Thanks to the Maou-level magic power he had obtained in the UK a few days earlier, the extraction time for these two Fifth-Tier targets had dropped to just over ten minutes instead of hours-or even days.

"Nanamiya-kun, how does it feel to encounter a devil with telepathy for the first time?"

Hearing Akeno's teasing voice, Hiro glanced at the ponytailed beauty.

"Honestly? It was awful."

What he hadn't expected was that his system couldn't even defend against something as basic as telepathy.

As the club president and king, Rias began explaining the upcoming training camp-its objectives and assignments-to Akeno and the others.

The seventeen minutes passed quickly.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for seizing Fifth-Tier luck and obtaining the servant of the Fourth Progenitor-Sadalmelik-Albus."

Sadalmelik-Albus...

That top-tier healer?

Hiro raised an eyebrow, not particularly satisfied.

Compared to the almost useless Shaula-Viola, Sadalmelik-Albus could already be considered decent.

But-

Among the Fourth Progenitor's twelve servants, he would have preferred combat-oriented ones like Regulus-Aurum, Minelauva Iris, or Al-Meissa Mercury.

Not a healer.

"Hiro, are you coming to the training camp tomorrow?"

"Hmm?" Hearing Rias's question, Hiro, lounging on the sofa, turned his head naturally.

"Of course. I can't feel safe leaving a naïve, pure nun like Asia alone in a devil's den."

Besides, he also needed to learn more about magic release mechanics.

"Hiro-kun..."

Asia's face flushed slightly.

Rias, on the other hand, did not look pleased.

"How rude! So in your eyes, I'm the kind of devil who sweet-talks Asia into becoming my servant?"

She glared at him.

"I don't know about sweet-talking," Hiro waved his hand dismissively, "but I'm very clear on one thing."

"Asia is extremely easy to fool."

He said it bluntly, without hesitation.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been tricked by Diadora, deceived by a stray priest, and had her Sacred Gear stolen by a fallen angel.
