"Hiro-kun, who were those people just now? Why did they want to take my Sacred Gear?"
Using magic to clean up the dilapidated church, Asia asked softly. Hiro followed a short distance behind her.
"First of all, those four weren't human. They were fallen angels."
After Asia refused his help, Hiro sat down on a cleaned-up old wooden chair and calmly corrected her.
"They probably came on orders from the Fallen Angel cadre known as the God's Child Observer-Kokabiel. As for why they wanted your Sacred Gear, that was likely Raynare's own idea. The surprise on the other fallen angels' faces didn't look fake."
Explaining Kokabiel or the background of the three-faction war to Asia wouldn't really help, so Hiro didn't bother.
With Freed Sellzen temporarily staying at a small hotel in Saitama Prefecture and acting like a lunatic, Hiro didn't dare leave Asia alone in the church. He was worried Freed might come looking for Raynare, and then-
Freed was weak, but he had an absurd amount of screen time in the original work. That had to mean at least second-Tier strength, right?
He decided to take a casual stroll in the afternoon to see if he could find him.
If not, he'd stake out the hotel area in the evening.
Silently watching Asia's busy figure for a while, Hiro finalized his afternoon plans.
Having just obtained Elementary Observation Haki, with a range of just over a kilometer-using Usopp as the benchmark-its usefulness in finding Freed might not even match the system map he had recently unlocked.
"Today, I'm really grateful that Hiro-kun took the time to accompany me to clean the church. Otherwise, I would definitely have fallen into the hands of those fallen angels, and the result... would have been very tragic."
Recalling the behavior of those fallen angels when they emerged from the basement, Asia couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
Even if she didn't know much about that sort of thing, she wasn't completely ignorant.
Combined with the notorious reputation of fallen angels, Asia naturally understood what they had been doing down there.
And Hiro-kun protected me again.
Thinking of the boy not far away, Asia felt a warm current flow through her heart.
"It was nothing worth mentioning."
Hiro waved his hand, looking indifferent.
In the afternoon, Asia went to the old school building as usual to be with Rias and the others. Hiro wandered alone through Saitama Prefecture.
"That face... and white hair. Second-Tier luck. That should be Sona Sitri's Bishop-Momo Hanakai, right? White hair, white hair. This time it matches the anime setting."
Sensing a white-haired girl fighting some strange monster a kilometer away, Hiro slightly quickened his pace.
From the feedback of Observation Haki, Momo Hanakai was clearly on the defensive.
She wasn't in immediate danger, but she was still getting hit from time to time. Her speed was far inferior to her opponent's, and she didn't even have a chance to escape.
Bang!
A thick spider leg covered in black fur slammed violently into Momo Hanakai's abdomen, sending her flying backward. She crashed into a residential wall more than ten meters away with a dull impact.
"Gero gero gero~ Places outside Kyoto really are interesting. Just wandering around and I find a tasty meal, and I don't even have to be supervised by that old hag. So comfortable!"
Buzz~ Buzz~
Its lower body was a massive black spider. Its upper body was a burly man with six thick arms.
At the junction between the two was a basin-like mouth constantly dripping dark purple saliva.
The liquid splashed onto the concrete road. In less than a second, it corroded holes several centimeters wide, pale purple smoke rising.
"The taste of a devil... it's been hundreds of years since I last savored one~"
Leaning weakly against the wall, Momo Hanakai's soft white hair was stained with blood and dust.
Watching the hideous monster slowly approach, her life flashed before her eyes.
Sorry, President. I haven't brought you any victories, and now I'm going to die at the hands of this inexplicable monster.
I've wasted your time.
After this chess piece disappears, I hope you can find someone stronger, more useful, and with more potential than me.
And in the end... I didn't even get to experience a proper romance.
What a pity.
"Young female devil, I'll take your body!"
As the spider leg stabbed down, Momo Hanakai, completely powerless, gave up struggling.
She slowly closed her eyes and quietly waited for death.
"Sorry, President..."
Thwack-
The sound of a blade slicing into flesh rang out.
Momo Hanakai didn't feel any pain.
Just as confusion surfaced, an unfamiliar male voice sounded in front of her.
"Shouldn't you be saying thank you for being saved? What's with the 'sorry'?"
?!
She opened her eyes in disbelief.
What entered her vision was a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, black hair and brown eyes, holding a blood-stained katana in his right hand.
She felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
That was the first thought that came to her mind after clearly seeing Hiro's face.
The second thought was-
So handsome.
"Oh... oh~ thank you."
Coming back to her senses, Momo Hanakai struggled slightly, only to realize she still didn't have the strength to stand.
She could only look up at the boy in front of her, her small face faintly flushed, and softly thank him.
She doesn't recognize me.
Then that means... only Sona Sitri and Tsubaki Shinra watched Riser and Rias's match back then. Her peerage didn't attend.
"If Sona found out her servant was killed and eaten by some unknown thing in Saitama Prefecture, I don't know how sad she'd be."
"Do you know President Sona?" Momo Hanakai exclaimed, staring at Hiro in surprise.
"Know her? We only know each other's names. We haven't even had a proper conversation."
Hiro shook his head, squatted down, and extended his left hand toward the white-haired girl slumped on the ground.
"Can you stand?"
"No... I don't know why, but I still feel completely weak."
Her voice was almost imperceptible, her face faintly red.
