48 Chapter 48

I can see the two Fallen Angels leave the room, and I can finally breathe normally. They might not look scary, but the energy they release is something entirely different. Because of my Senjutsu, I know what kind of monsters they are.

The two of them have a higher energy reserve than Yasaka in her base form and only slightly less when she is in her true form.

That is a lot of energy, especially when Yasaka is the highest energy reserve before I meet the two of them.

And you know what's worse? They are not in battle mode. I don't know if they can change like Yasaka. I know that Azazel has Sacred Gear that can increase his power even further, but I don't know the other man, Shemhazai, and his power. I can only easily assume he has something to increase his power in a fight. In the anime, Grigori is the biggest organization that researches Sacred Gear, and I am ninety-five percent sure that Shemhazai has Sacred Gear that can increase his power.

"So they are the High-Ranking Fallen Angels from Grigori, huh? They are powerful."

Yasaka looks at me and nods.

"Yeah. There is a reason why other Fallen Angels gather around Azazel. He has the charisma and power to attract other Fallen Angels. It is just a shame that his peace-loving thinking gets wrongly interpreted as a pacifist."

"Is he not a pacifist?"

"No. He is so far from being a pacifist. He needs to be ruthless to stay in power for that long. He just does it more subtly. He solved his problem subtly and quickly so as not to worsen the situation. When the situation gets worse, he will send someone who can kill the one making the problem."

"Assassination?"

"Yup."

I nod and let that word sink in for a few seconds before saying.

"So, what should we do now? Will we go back?"

Yasaka shakes her head and says.

"No. As much as I want to go back, I know something bigger will happen in this town, and I want to make sure the people in Kuoh Town do not get involved. Let's wait for a few days before we go back to Kuoh."

"Sure. I can do that. What do you want to do now? I want to try the local ramen stall. I hear they have a ramen restaurant that has a challenger menu."

"Oh? What kind of menu?"

"It is a meat mountain. A ramen with a pile of meat, cabbage, and sprouts."

"Ohhhh~ I want to eat that. Let's go and visit that restaurant!"

|3rd POV|

Sona Sitri releases a sigh and leans over her chair.

"How is it, President? Does Lady Serafall say something we need to do?"

Sona looks at her queen and says.

"Lady Yasaka will stay in this town for the foreseeable future because of the Fallen Angel incident. We are lucky that Issei Hyoudou is more than willing to be reincarnated. If he gets angry at us for reincarnating him into a devil, we will be in trouble."

"Your decision to immediately report the incident to Lady Serafall also helped the situation."

Sona nods her head and says.

"Yeah. Rias has changed a lot since the pandemic that happened in the underworld, but she still has a lot of habits that she needs to fix. Among them is not reporting about something that looks small like this."

"What should we do now, president? Should we greet Lady Yasaka? We know the location of her mansion, after all."

Sona shakes her head and says.

"No. My sister told me not to go there before she arrived here. Tell the others not to get close to her mansion and also make sure to inform Rias and her peerage member."

"But Lady Rias and her peerage members are currently training on the mountain."

"Right. Riser arrives here and stays outside the town, right? Dammit. This is the worst time for him to stay in the human world. Tell the others to gather here. I will personally tell him this news and make sure he knows that he cannot do any of his usual shenanigan."

"Yes, president!"

Sona takes a deep breath and prepares to meet the annoying devil noble. She is lucky that as a guest coming here, Riser and his peerage member need to put on a bracelet that lets her know his current location.

It is a new rule for any devil who wants to visit Japan.

After waiting a few minutes, her entire peerage member arrives inside the room, and Sona nods.

"Thank you for coming. The reason why I call you guys here is because I need you to accompany me to meet Riser Phenex."

"Can I ask the reason why you need to meet that rude person, President?"

Sona looks at her pawn, Genshirou Saji, and says,

"Watch your word, Saji. As much as I did not want to say it, he is still a son of a noble. You can say what you want about it when we are alone, but make sure you refrain from calling him bad names when there are others than us in the room. I cannot protect you when his father wants you dead."

"I am sorry, president! I will not do it again."

"Good. Anyway, I need to meet him because important guests are arriving at Kuoh, and I did not want him to do anything stupid."

"I see."

Sona nods and says.

"Is there anything else?" She waits for a few seconds before nodding her head. "Very well. Let's get going."

After saying that, Sona creates a magic circle underneath her, and they get teleported a few seconds later.

They arrive before a massive villa, and Sona rings the bell. After waiting for a minute, they are greeted by a brown-haired maid.

"Welcome to our mansion, Lady Sona. What can we do for you?"

"I need to talk with Riser."

The maid for a few seconds before saying.

"I am sorry but Lord Riser is currently unavailable."

Sona frowns, takes out the device to track Riser's location, and notices something weird.

"His location is here, in the front yard."

She looks around for a few seconds before she finds the bracelet. She walks toward the bracelet and grits her teeth.

"That bastard!"

She gets up and says.

"Prepare to spread out and search for Riser Phenex! You! Tell me where he is!"

Before the maid can answer, a massive pillar of fire and wind appears in the distance, and Sona's face gets pale—the worst-case scenario happening in front of him.
