Multiverse Gacha

[177] Yuuto Kiba’s Invitation!

Watching Koneko's figure, Sona seemed contemplative.

"Seems like you're quite capable. You've met Rias so soon?"

"No, I happened to encounter her the day before yesterday due to a stray devil. But Rias doesn't know my identity, and it seems like she wants to make me her peerage."

"What? Make you her peerage?"

"Yeah, even though I'm acquainted with her brother, I don't know her at all."

"Then you..."

Sona nervously looked at August.

A reincarnated devil in the underworld was just a servant, subservient to the master. If Rias wanted to make August her peerage, it would be equivalent to wanting to make the head of a familiy, on par with her father, her subordinate. If true, Rias would be committing a serious taboo.

If this got out, she would undoubtedly face severe punishment from the higher-ups in the underworld, as it would be a matter of the dignity of the higher-ups.

August, although not a devil, was an ally of the devil race, an honored guest with a status equivalent to the head of a pure-blood family among the Seventy-Two Pillars. Although he had no real power, his status was supreme.

"Don't worry, I don't care too much. But I plan to take this opportunity to take a good look at Rias."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Her brother wants me to help her sister solve some problems. But before that, I need to see if she's qualified."

"What are you going to do?"

"Just observe for a while. She seems to regard me as a mage, so let's keep up with that."

"I see."

"Afterwards, make it clear to your people. Don't leave anything out."

"Understood."

Sona couldn't help but feel emotional. Rias was also subject to inspection and selection.

Thinking about August's attitude towards her, they became friends at their first meeting, and in less than a week, they became good friends. Comparing the two, she felt a little delighted. She was special, more special than Rias.

"All right, let's go. It's almost time for class."

"Yeah."

And so, the three headed towards the teaching building.

August, a sophomore, was on the second floor, while Sona and Tsubaki, seniors, were on the third. They separated at the staircase.

As they arrived on the second floor, coincidentally, a teacher holding a lesson plan was walking towards them.

Seeing August going upstairs with Sona and their seemingly good relationship, she was convinced that August's identity was definitely not simple.

"Sensei, good morning."

"August-kun, good morning."

They exchanged greetings, and August vaguely sensed some changes in the teacher.

Walking towards the classroom one after another, with August in front and the teacher holding a lesson plan behind, it looked like August was some leader from a distance.

In the classroom, after August entered first, the teacher followed a few seconds later.

With the teacher's arrival, those girls who were planning something mischievous with August suddenly became obedient.

"Hey, you're actually going upstairs with sensei? You almost made us late."

"It's not like I was late."

August didn't pay too much attention to this classmate who was separated by an aisle.

The teacher started the lesson, but August immediately drifted away because he sat in the last row and in the corner closest to the window, making it a relatively unnoticed spot.

Additionally, this teacher wasn't inclined to pick a fight, so she simply ignored him.

For the entire morning, August barely listened to the classes. He played with his phone at the back, and no one knew what he was up to.

Whether it was the class teacher who was informed by the head teacher or they received some information, not a single teacher said anything to August the entire morning.

August was quite satisfied with this. He didn't come to school to attend classes seriously.

Maybe it was because the head teacher publicized August's presence, or perhaps they got the news themselves, but for the entire morning, not a single teacher said anything.

This also made August quite content. He didn't come to school to study seriously.

Since he had transferred to the class for a few days, under August's aloof personality, gradually, there were not many girls willing to approach him.

But there were still many who secretly peeked at August, harboring crushes on him, after all, they were still students.

Just before the last class of the morning began, a person arrived at the entrance of the classroom.

"Wow, it's Yuuto-senpai."

"Is it true?"

"He's so handsome."

"Yuuto-sama~"

...

This sudden arrival turned the previously quiet classroom into chaos, as if a water balloon had been thrown into a calm pool.

"Excuse me, is August-san here?"

With just one sentence, August became the target of everyone's attention, all eyes fixed on him.

It was because August, upon his arrival, had claimed the title of the school's heartthrob, and now with Yuuto Kiba's arrival, it naturally led people's thoughts in a different direction.

Many people had already devised headlines in their minds about the grievances and enmity between the heartthrobs from the two realms.

August also looked over and saw Yuuto Kiba standing at the door, wearing a smile, exuding an 'asashi' aura.

Now, August suddenly felt a bit of a headache. Why did Rias have to send him? Couldn't she find someone else?

Getting involved in a rumored relationship with a girl was still better than being involved with a guy.

"August-san, our club president wants to meet you."

"Your club president?"

"Occult Research Club, President Rias."

However, Yuuto Kiba's words became the second bomb.

"President Rias?"

"Great Onee-san?"

"Rias-senpai is looking for August?"

"Wow, a love story between senoai and kouhai."

Suddenly, the situation spiraled out of control once again.

August was speechless. Come on, do you have to be so straightforward? Words are powerful, you know.

Seeing the chaotic scene, August had no intention of staying any longer. He quickly got up and left. It was a dangerous place, not suitable for lingering.

"Aika, help me request leave, just say that Rias-senpai is looking for me for something."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Nodding, August then hurriedly walked towards the door.

At the door, Yuuto Kiba was already waiting.

"It's troublesome."

"It's a minor issue. Let's go."

"Alright."

Yuuto Kiba led the way, and August followed behind.

The two of them left the teaching building directly and came to the back mountain of the Kuoh Academy. Here was the old school building, now the stronghold of the Occult Research Club.

Not many people from the entire academy came here.

Entering the old school building, August noticed that although it looked rundown from the outside, the interior was well-maintained, retaining a unique charm despite being made of wood.

Soon, the two arrived at a door labeled 'Occult Research Club.'

Yuuto Kiba briskly arrived at the door and opened it for August.

Without hesitation, August walked in.
