District One.
The bustling streets were a stark contrast to the dilapidation of District Thirty-Nine.
They were completely different worlds.
Abel and Yukino Yukinoshita stood on the main street, looking at a unique building.
That was where Seitenshi resided.
"Do you want to go together?"
"Or do you want to wander the streets by yourself?"
Abel turned his head, asking Yukino Yukinoshita.
Yukino Yukinoshita, who had been looking around, snapped back to reality and shook her head.
"I'll just walk around here. After all, Master is discussing private matters, so you don't need to worry about me."
Abel nodded, "Then be careful and contact me if anything happens."
With that, Abel disappeared from the spot.
The nearby pedestrians seemed not to notice, walking and laughing to themselves.
Yukino Yukinoshita was silent for a moment, then began her own stroll.
She had heard Abel talk about this world.
It was exactly as Abel had described.
Then the people of this world were all scoundrels.
They comfortably enjoyed the protection of the Cursed Children, as they called them, while simultaneously despising them and treating them as trash.
She hoped she wouldn't be disappointed by the humans of this world.
Inside the Saint's Residence.
Abel walked through it at his own pace.
The surrounding security personnel seemed not to see him.
It was a simple cognitive magic, shielding everyone's perception.
Abel looked up, staring at the upper floors, his gaze passing through them.
Finally, Abel found the girl in the white dress.
"Found her."
Abel lifted his leg and vanished from his spot.
Seitenshi's office.
Seitenshi was sighing as usual.
All the newly enacted laws had been overturned; this matter was a long and arduous one.
Suddenly, a slight ripple in the air, and Abel appeared in the office.
Seitenshi was startled by Abel's sudden appearance, then asked with vigilance and nervousness, "How... how did you get in!?"
"And who are you?"
Looking at the flustered Seitenshi.
Abel felt she was a little cute.
However, how could he, Ye, forget about important matters due to beauty?
"Of course, by..."
As he spoke, Abel appeared directly in front of Seitenshi and continued playfully, "...appearing here like this."
The distance between them was only a fist's width.
Seitenshi, already startled by the sudden situation, felt her heart pounding even faster.
Feeling the scorching aura from the man in front of her.
Seitenshi's face flushed slightly, then she turned her head away.
She had never been treated like this before in her life.
Abel looked at Seitenshi's expression, chuckled softly, and took a step back.
"As for the second question, I am not human, but rather..."
Abel said, bowing like a gentleman to Seitenshi.
Whoosh~
A gust of wind instantly filled the room.
A pair of jet-black wings extended from Abel's back.
Seeing this, Seitenshi visibly panicked.
At this moment, Abel revealed a mischievous smile and continued, "...a Demon~"
Seitenshi's eyes widened in horror, and her body involuntarily recoiled, her back hitting the wall.
D-D-D-Demon?
There really are demons in the world!?
Legendary creatures actually exist.
In the books she had read.
Evil and chaos were synonymous with demons.
However, if you're talking about the demons from High School DxD.
Then it's fine.
The demons here have nothing to do with the two words above.
Seitenshi felt like she was a fish on a chopping block, at the mercy of others.
Today... will I die here?
Thinking of this, Seitenshi's eyes welled up with tears.
She was just a teenager.
She was still young.
She still had things she hadn't finished.
Those children still needed her; she hadn't yet integrated them into this society.
Abel's mouth twitched slightly.
He had to admit, the girl's inner monologue was quite rich.
At this moment, Seitenshi remembered that there was an emergency call button under her desk.
She tremblingly reached out, attempting to press the hidden distress button under the office desk.
Of course, how could Abel not notice her little movements?
Abel even thoughtfully cut the space and moved the button to the desktop.
"Please, Miss Seitenshi."
At this moment, Seitenshi's eyes lit up at his words, "Really?"
Abel was stunned.
The person in front of him was truly well protected.
So naive.
To be able to retain this virtue in this world, it was truly remarkable.
No, don't!
How could he say that?
Ah!!
Seitenshi awkwardly dug her toes into the floor!
But she still asked weakly, "Then... I'll press it, okay~"
"Press it, press it."
As he spoke, Abel handed her a megaphone, "You can even shout."
Seitenshi stared blankly at Abel.
Perhaps... the demon in front of her was a good demon after all.
"After all, I've opened up a different dimension."
"Even if you press the button until it breaks, or scream until your throat is hoarse, no one will pay attention to you."
Opened up a different dimension?
She instinctively pressed the button, then casually picked up the megaphone and called for guards.
But there was no reaction whatsoever.
Seitenshi's newly ignited hope instantly extinguished, and the color drained from her face.
She closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down her face.
Wow~
She really cried.
Abel leaned over to look.
"Alright, alright, I won't hurt you."
Looking at Seitenshi, who was crying her eyes out, Abel felt a bit helpless.
Why was this child so easily teased?
Seitenshi slowly opened her eyes and asked with a tearful, yet suspicious tone, "R-Really?"
"Of course."
"Then... then what does Mr. Demon want with me?"
...Outside on the street.
Yukino Yukinoshita walked alone on the bustling street.
Just then, urgent footsteps came from ahead.
She looked up.
She saw a child wearing a hat, looking somewhat disheveled, and holding a can, running towards her.
Behind him, two adults in convenience store uniforms were giving chase.
"Help!"
"Catch that guy!"
A thief?
Stealing at such a young age.
That's not right.
Yukino Yukinoshita was currently viewing the problem with the mindset she had when she was human.
She had absolutely no self-awareness of being a demon, perhaps still harboring illusions about the people here.
Yukino Yukinoshita stopped the child.
Seeing this, the child's eyes widened.
He was also panting heavily.
It's... over.
Just as despair set in, Yukino Yukinoshita stopped the two pursuers.
After all, he was still a child.
"What happened to this child?"
"She just stole something, and when a security guard called her out, she beat him half to death."
The store clerk said.
Nearby security guards rushed over.
"What are you doing here!!"
When they saw the child's red pupils, the security guards' expressions changed.
They instantly became wary.
Yukino Yukinoshita was about to say something.
But before she could speak, she was interrupted.
"Hey! You stinky brat! Stand still!!"
