Chapter 42 - How About Just Surrendering?

Kuoh Town, Tatsuma's house.

When Rias woke up from her sleep, it was already noon. Raising her hand to rub her sleepy eyes, she looked around somewhat dazedly.

Click!

Just then, the sound of the door opening was heard.

"You're awake just in time."

Tatsuma, who had just returned, pushed the door open and walked in, greeting his girlfriend.

"I bought lunch on the way back, let's eat together."

"Tatsuma?"

Staring blankly at Tatsuma for two seconds, Rias finally came back to her senses and remembered what had happened yesterday.

She said, "It didn't end until morning, yet you can still get up this early? You're really energetic."

"If I'm not energetic, I can't open a harem."

"If possible, I wish you could be a little more tactful at times like this."

Rias shrugged, not taking it too much to heart.

After fighting hard all last night, she had come to terms with this matter. There was nothing she could do. Tatsuma's stamina was terrifyingly abundant, she couldn't suppress him alone.

Since Tatsuma had this intention, it would be better to let him find a few more people to share the 'firepower'.

As for her, as long as she kept her position as the main wife, everything was acceptable.

"No, did I wake up late?"

Pulling back the covers and getting out of bed, Rias, who was about to change, frowned as she remembered the important matter.

"The meeting time set by Jujutsu High... has it already been two hours?!"

Tatsuma explained from the side, "You looked very tired this morning, so I didn't call you to get up."

"Although your thoughtfulness is touching, if I'm late... Hmm? You bought lunch on the way?"

Subconsciously replying halfway, Rias suddenly remembered what Tatsuma had just said.

"You didn't go to the negotiation with Jujutsu High by yourself, did you?"

"You guessed right."

"Then why did you come back so quickly?"

Normally, don't negotiations involving diplomacy usually start with a full day?

Looking at Tatsuma, who subtly emitted a scent of blood, Rias suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Tatsuma, you... didn't do anything, did you?"

Tatsuma spread his hands. "They made the first move."

Rias: "?"

Tatsuma patted the demon sword at his waist and said, "Don't worry, those who had thoughts of killing me have all been slaughtered."

Rias: "?!!"

...

Underworld, the capital Lilith.

A man exuding a demonic aura came to the deepest part of the Lucifer Palace, pushed the door open, and walked in.

"Hmm? Ajuka, why are you here?" Sirzechs, who was frowning and looking at a document, raised his head and asked with some confusion.

Ajuka took out a red bracelet from his pocket and placed it on the table. "The toy you asked me to make yesterday is ready."

Sirzechs was surprised. "It's done so quickly? Your efficiency is as high as ever."

Ajuka said, "After all, it's not something with much value. Just find a suitable material and embed a gravity spell."

"Even if you say that, among the people I know, only you can do this so easily."

"Since it was made temporarily, the upper limit of the gravity spell is a hundred times. It should be enough for you for a short time, right?"

"You misunderstood, this is not for me to use."

Sirzechs put away the bracelet and handed the document he had just been holding to Ajuka.

"This is Rias's request. If nothing goes wrong, it's prepared for him."

Ajuka glanced at the contents of the document, a hint of confusion appearing on his face. "The Church is reprimanding the Red Dragon Emperor for crossing the line? What did that subordinate of your sister do?"

Sirzechs said, "This morning, he killed all the high-ranking conservative Jujutsu sorcerers."

"Reason?"

"There was some conflict between the two sides. The conservative Jujutsu higher-ups wanted to use force to threaten Tatsuma into making concessions and had prepared an assassination plan."

Ajuka commented truthfully, "Then killing them was quite right."

As powerful Satans who had fought their way through the great war, none of the current Four Satans were soft-hearted. Facing enemies who provoked them, they should be punched back.

However...

"Just a few verbal reprimands, it shouldn't be enough to make you show that expression just now, right?"

"What I'm concerned about is not the Church's reprimand, but the enemies Tatsuma encountered in this battle."

Sirzechs took out two photos and said, "Siegfried, who defected from the Church, and the inheritor of Heracles's soul."

"According to the information from Tatsuma's side, both of them came from Khaos Brigade, and their goal was to recruit him to join Khaos Brigade."

"Khaos Brigade? So that's it, no wonder your expression was so serious." Ajuka touched his chin thoughtfully.

Although he didn't usually interfere in matters, his information was still very well-informed.

Ajuka had heard of this terrifying organization that had recently emerged.

"What are you planning to do?"

"First, gather information. That organization seems to have gathered a lot of dangerous elements."

Sirzechs took out several documents.

Ajuka took them and scanned them one by one, and soon, like Sirzechs just now, he frowned.

"The Old Satan Faction led by the descendants of the former Satans, the Hero Faction with high-level Longinus holders as the core... Are these all true?"

"I don't know either, but all this information was submitted by Tatsuma through Rias."

Sirzechs said, and then took out a separate document from the interlayer of the drawer.

"Actually, these members can still be dealt with. The real trouble is their leader."

Ajuka frowned. "Zeus? Odin? Or Shiva?"

Sirzechs shook his head. "It's Ophis."

Ajuka: "..."

How about just surrendering?
