Multiverse Gacha

[195] Sona’s Exposed Strategy!

Soon, Sona slowly woke up. When she saw Tsubaki sitting nearby, her expression froze slightly.

Tsubaki naturally noticed this subtle change in expression. They had been sisters and best friends for many years, so Tsubaki understood Sona well.

"President, you didn't see it at first glance. Are you disappointed?"

"It seems you've found a man and become bolder, daring to tease me."

"President, August isn't a fool. Before, it was me, this time it's you. Even if he didn't catch on immediately, he would have had suspicions later."

"So what? As long as my goal is achieved."

"Goal?"

"As long as he pays attention to me. Even if he finds out later, it doesn't matter."

"As long as you're happy."

Tsubaki placed a cup of tea in front of Sona.

She never doubted Sona because she knew her president wouldn't make a decision without certainty.

"By the way, Tsubaki, how are things between you and him?"

"What do you mean?"

"What else could it be? Of course, I'm talking about the two of you."

"Well, we've just gotten together~"

Speaking of this, Tsubaki blushed and started to evade the question.

This made Sona slightly speechless. After all, Tsubaki was a very confident person. Now, she was showing a shy side.

At the same time, on the other side, Hilda was undergoing training with August.

Just yesterday, Hilda awakened an ability, surprising August.

Haki!

Yesterday Hilda found August and told him about it.

Through today's familiarization and training, August discovered that she not only gained Armament Haki but also Observation Haki. As for Conqueror Haki, it was uncertain whether she had awakened it or not.

According to Hilda, these two Haki were suddenly mastered, similar to Demonization.

August suspected that when his Evil Piece reincarnated Hilda, it not only gave her new demon race but also passed on some of his abilities.

Because there was no one else, it was still unclear whether she could inherit Haki or if it was just her inheriting it.

This conclusion had to wait until August reincarnated two or three other people.

After teaching Rias, Sona, and others the possibility of the Great Spiralling Ring, the potential for his race inheritance ability was not impossible.

Throughout the day, August helped Hilda familiarize herself with the two Haki.

Hilda now had a basic grasp of using Armament Haki, as well as the ability to wrap her weapon with it and the perception ability of Observation Haki.

"Armament Haki!"

A black-purple flame rose, and then Hilda's umbrella sword turned pitch black.

"Very good, you've used Armament Haki well. In the future, regularly use Armament Haki to infuse your weapon, it can transform it into a black blade, enhancing the quality of the sword."

"I understand, My Lord."

Watching her umbrella sword, Hilda also had a smile on her face. She really liked this ability.

Moreover, this umbrella sword was her favorite weapon. Although it wasn't a very powerful weapon, it was a gift from her teacher when she first set out.

She had cherished it for many years, and now she could turn it into a black blade, which naturally made her very happy.

"Hmm? What kind of magic is this again?"

At this moment, Sona had come over without anyone noticing.

The recent scene had Sona witnessing Hilda's umbrella sword turning pitch-black. She could tell that the changes in the sword were not just about its color.

"This is Haki, Armament Haki. However, it's not magic, it's more like an innate ability."

"Innate ability?"

"That's right. So, if you want to learn, don't even think about it."

"How did she learn it then?"

"She's my peerage now and has become demon clan member."

Demon Clan. The name shook Sona, and at the same time, she realized.

Indeed, although August was the sole descendant of the Demon Clan, he now possessed a special Evil Pieces that allowed him to gather peerages and expand the Demon Clan.

"Hey, what's with that look? Let me tell you, I won't take you as my peerage."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who would want to be your peerage?"

Saying this, Sona kicked August. She was the successor of the Sitri family, how could she become someone else's peerage?

If she were to become the demon clan member, not to mention other things, the successor of the Sitri family would definitely change. After all, no one would accept an outsider as the head of the family.

Moreover, among the higher-ups of the devils, peerages were no different from servants, considered inferior beings.

"By the way, thanks for earlier."

"No problem, as long as you don't cause trouble for me in the future."

"What do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean. If you really want to open up like Tsubaki, I wouldn't mind embracing you as well. But don't use such tricks."

"You figured it out?"

"Not just now, but now I have."

"You tricked me."

Sona's mood suddenly turned sour. She never expected to be tricked like this.

As for August, he remained silent. When he brought Sona back just now, he could already sense that something was off.

Before, when Tsubaki fainted due to magic exhaustion, he coincidentally confessed.

Today, Sona also fainted due to magic exhaustion, and this incident seemed too coincidental.

August intentionally left just now to observe Sona's behavior. As expected, although he didn't hear what she and Tsubaki were talking about, he could see that there was something fishy about her fainting this time.

Now that Sona, who had just awakened, came to find him instead of resting and recovering, it made August even more concerned. Therefore, this scene unfolded.

Although he wasn't completely sure, a little deception wouldn't hurt. If he exposed her, he would gain something, if not, it didn't matter.

"Hmph, you're just a man who doesn't understand romance. Normal men, even if they guess, will pretend not to know."

"I'm not an ordinary man."

"A man who doesn't understand romance."

"I'm not someone who doesn't understand romance. I just keep myself pure. Although I'm a bit lecherous, I also have principles."

"Lecherous and principled? Weirdo."

"Heh."
