Shuchiin Academy, Supernatural Investigation Club.
After tasting the pan-fried meat personally prepared by Nakiri Erina, Lynn rubbed his chin and commented:
"Although it's just simple pan-fried meat, it's indeed much better than Mahiru's cooking."
Of course.
Mahiru's cooking was already very good.
But compared to a professional, it was still a bit lacking.
And...
There was also the bonus from the beast meat.
Hmm...
A dedicated cook for his peerage, isn't that just what he needed?
Bzz—
Suddenly, Lynn's phone vibrated.
"Rias?"
Lynn looked at the person who sent the message, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Rias: Lynn, after the last incident, my brother has decided to grant you the status of Ultimate-Class Devil and will transfer Valefor's territory to your name.
Rias: However, my brother is unsure of your thoughts, and he's also worried that some people might cause trouble for you because of this, so he asked me to check with you.
"Ultimate-Class?"
Lynn shook his head.
Lynn: I have no interest in the status of an Ultimate-Class Devil.
Private Kuoh Academy.
Occult Research Club.
Seeing the message Lynn sent, Rias was surprised.
An Ultimate-Class Devil is the most noble existence in the Underworld, aside from the Devil Kings.
Lynn actually said he wasn't interested?
However...
"That's fine too..."
Rias was also afraid that if Lynn was too conspicuous, he would invite retaliation from the Old Satan Faction.
Bzz—
Lynn sent another message.
Rias quickly checked it.
Lynn: I don't need the Ultimate-Class Devil status, but I want Valefor's territory.
Rias: Alright, I understand.
Rias: Inheriting Valefor's territory might attract some unnecessary trouble. Do you need my brother to cover for you?
Lynn: No need.
Rias: But...
Rias was a bit worried.
Supernatural Investigation Club.
The corners of Lynn's mouth curled up slightly.
Lynn: The Old Satan Faction, right.
Lynn: If they have the guts, let them come.
Lynn: Remember to tell Sirzechs to make a big scene out of it.
Seeing the message Lynn sent, Rias froze, then smiled helplessly.
"As expected of Lynn..."
Not only is he unafraid of trouble from the Old Satan Faction, but he's even afraid they won't come looking for trouble, and instead wants to make a big commotion...
However...
It's exactly this kind of Lynn that makes her heart flutter...
Rias indulged in a bit of fantasy for a moment, then blushed, remembered the important business, and hurriedly used magic to tell Sirzechs about Lynn's thoughts.
After finishing the business, Rias looked at Toujou Koneko, who was eating snacks.
Just as Lynn said that day, Toujou Koneko still lived at Private Kuoh Academy and hadn't left the Occult Research Club.
However...
The time Toujou Koneko spent in the Occult Research Club had decreased significantly.
"So secretive..."
Rias muttered, then asked: "Toujou Koneko, have you gotten stronger recently?"
Hearing this, Himejima Akeno also cast her gaze over.
She also felt that Toujou Koneko was a bit different than before.
Toujou Koneko ate her snacks calmly, "Maybe it's because I've mastered Youjutsu and Senjutsu."
Rias was stunned, disbelieving, "You mastered them so quickly?"
Toujou Koneko nodded.
"But..."
Rias said worriedly, "With Youjutsu and Senjutsu, it's easy to cause a power runaway, right?"
Toujou Koneko shook her head, "It's fine, Lynn-senpai has already helped me solve it."
The [You-Sen Resonance] skill solved the problem of the power within her very well.
"That's good."
Rias also breathed a sigh of relief.
However...
Her mood was somewhat complicated.
Toujou Koneko had great potential, and Rias knew this.
But...
When she was with her, her potential hadn't been fully developed at all...
As expected.
Handing her over to Lynn was the right choice!
After a while.
The Underworld, capital Lilith.
Upon receiving the message, Sirzechs said helplessly: "Did he really say that?"
Rias's projection nodded: "That's right."
Sirzechs fell into deep thought, then said: "Alright, then let's do as he wishes."
After completing her task, Rias's projection disappeared.
Serafall rested her chin in her hand, "Is he preparing to make a move against the Old Satan Faction?"
Sirzechs nodded: "It's obvious."
Otherwise, why would he make such a high-profile scene.
"Using himself as bait, he's truly bold."
Serafall clicked her tongue, her heart leaning more and more towards that guess.
This confidence is exactly the same!
"It's understandable."
Sirzechs said: "Rather than being constantly watched by a viper in the shadows, it's better to lure the snake out of its hole."
The traces of the Old Satan Faction are very hidden.
Searching for them is not only troublesome but also a waste of time.
Lynn's method is very efficient.
After all...
The name Valefor has terrifyingly high aggro in the Old Satan Faction!
However...
To do this, one needs sufficient strength.
Although Lynn is already at Demon Lord class strength and has mastered a light power that suppresses Devils, Sirzechs is still a bit worried.
"Don't worry."
Serafall waved her hand, "There won't be any problems."
"I hope so..."
Sirzechs pondered for a while, then continued: "Just in case, once the Old Satan Faction makes a move, you should go to the human world to support Lynn."
Serafall: "?"
Her face stiffened, and she felt her buttocks faintly heating up.
Meanwhile.
In a deep mountain forest.
Iwanaga Kotoko stroked a white cat on a tree branch, a sheepish smile on her face.
The white cat stared at her, saying in an incredulous voice: "Princess, are you going to sell me to a Devil?"
"How can you call it selling..."
Iwanaga Kotoko said solemnly: "I'm finding you a master!"
"Himari, don't you want to have a master?"
Iwanaga Kotoko used her rhetoric to coax her along.
Himari flicked her tail, looking dissatisfied: "But..."
"I'm not the only supernatural creature here, right?"
Iwanaga Kotoko: "..."
Who told you to be pretty, a female cat, and not cause any trouble.
Himari: "?"
So good supernatural creatures are supposed to have guns pointed at them??
