"Wū Wū Wū..."
"I promise you! I promise you everything!"
"Please, Tenraku, heal quickly or you'll really die."
"Wū wū wū..."
Rias cried her heart out, pleading over and over. She had already lost her true elder brother, her true Otou-Sama, and even the once-happy Gremory family. If she lost Tenraku as well, she would definitely collapse this time, and no one would be able to save her!
"Then we have a deal. I will always, always be at Rias' side, but Rias, you can't give up and despair anymore."
"We've made a deal, we've made a deal~!"
"As long as Tenraku is with me, I'll never give up or despair..."
"Please, heal quickly, Tenraku."
"Wū wū wū..."
With an immense feeling of guilt and pain in her heart, nothing else mattered to Rias at that moment. She just wanted Tenraku to heal quickly; she couldn't bear the consequences of losing Tenraku.
After receiving Rias' answer, a smile finally appeared on Tenraku's face. "That's good, Rias. As long as you don't give up or despair, no matter how cruel fate is, I will face it with you!"
To ease the girl's worries, Tenraku activated [Smile of the Holy Mother - Twilight Healing] With [Holy Grail of the Secluded World - Sephiroth Graal]. His injuries began to visibly heal at an astonishing rate.
Comparatively, the injuries this time were even more severe than when he fought 666 (Trihexa).
However, at that time, Tenraku's power was almost exhausted, and there were also some aftereffects from the use of the Unmatched Treasure, so the recovery was a bit difficult.
But this time, there were no such problems. With the activation of his Sacred Gear abilities, all the wounds on Tenraku's body quickly healed, even the eye that had been destroyed by Magic Power began to regenerate.
In just a few minutes, Tenraku's body had fully recovered. As the Spirit Power continued to flow, the blood stains and dirt on his body were also washed away.
Slowly, Tenraku opened his eyes and saw Rias' face, full of worry, self-blame, and joy, streaked with tears.
"I am sorry, Rias, that I could only think of this foolish and cunning method to pull you back from your despair."
"Wū Wū Wū Wū Wū..."
Tenraku gently wiped Rias' cheeks, and Rias threw herself into Tenraku's arms again, crying loudly.
Just a moment ago, she had been on the verge of losing her mind, and now this. But her situation is quite better than before.
Tenraku hugged Rias tightly and let her cry in his arms. Although Rias gradually calmed down under Tenraku's comfort, she still sobbed in Tenraku's arms for a long time before her emotions finally stabilized.
Knowing these cruel truths, and experiencing despair and ruin, this day was truly a nightmare for Rias. If Tenraku hadn't saved her back, she might have destroyed herself!
"Tenraku, love me..."
Looking up, Rias' eyes flickered with a confused light.
"As you wish, my princess."
Such a request could not be refused. Tenraku stood up, held Rias in his arms, and disappeared into the Hall of Saints and Demons...
Location: Kamiya Family House-
"Ugh, Tenraku, why hasn't he brought Rias back yet? I'm so worried!" Irina paced back and forth in the hall, her cute twin tails swinging back and forth, showing her owner's restless mood.
"Irina, calm down. Tenraku will definitely bring Rias back." Xenovia said while leaning against the nearby wall.
"How can I calm down?"
"Something like this really happened, it's too cruel, too cruel to Rias..."
Irina shouted but at the thought of Rias, the girl's eyes reddened again.
Fate is too cruel for Rias!
After hearing the truth from Akeno and Sona, everyone at home was deeply shocked and saddened. Even Koneko-Chan sobbed in her older sister Kuroka's arms and finally passed out from exhaustion.
Everyone was extremely worried about Rias, afraid that she might do something stupid under such pressure. But for now, all they could do was wait at home, feeling restless and anxious.
"Lady Venelana, Grayfia San, would you like some tea?" Across the hall, Asia and Valerie offered Venelana and Grayfia freshly brewed hot tea.
Both girls had puffy eyes, indicating that they had shed countless tears.
"Asia-Chan, Valerie-Chan, thank you, but we're not thirsty right now," Grayfia said blankly, while Venelana managed a forced smile.
It had been hours since Rias and Tenraku had left, and they were in no mood for tea.
Asia and Valerie understood that well. Silently, they withdrew the cold tea they had prepared.
Everyone waited silently in the hall. With each passing moment, the atmosphere became more oppressive and restless.
But then Marion and Burent, who had been waiting outside, rushed in excitedly.
"Everyone, Rias Sama and Tenraku Sama are back!"
Immediately, all the women in the hall stood up...
Let's rewind a few minutes...
"Rias, why did you suddenly stop?" Tenraku asked at the entrance of the Kamiya family, looking at Rias who had stopped abruptly.
"Tenraku, I'm scared..."
Biting her lip, Rias lowered her head. In the past, the proud and confident Rias would never say such words. But at this moment, she was truly afraid.
After what had happened, she didn't know how to face everyone at home, let alone her own Okaa-Sama and Grayfia.
"If you're still afraid, shall we go back to the Hall of Saints and Demons to 'rest'?" Tenraku suggested with a slight grin, seemingly offering kindly, but Rias blushed.
What 'rest' in the Hall of Saints and Demons? That bad guy just wants to tease me again!
Although only a few hours had passed outside, they had already spent ten crazy days and nights in the Hall of Saints and Demons!
The two of them had indulged in fallen pleasures, and Tenraku the villain had taken the opportunity to unlock almost all of their positions. Just thinking about it made Rias' face flush.
"I don't want to go in with you again."
Giving Tenraku a cold look, Rias said indignantly.
"Okay, okay, I was just trying to lighten the mood and tease you a bit."
"We already made a promise, didn't we? Whatever happens, I'll face it with you."
"So be brave, Rias."
Wiping away his smile, Tenraku gently stroked Rias' cheek and said softly.
Feeling warmth in her heart, Rias felt her previously chaotic inner turmoil gradually calm down, as if she had suddenly gained immense courage.
"I understand."
"Tenraku, let's go home!"
Nodding, a determined look appeared in Rias' eyes.
No matter how cruel fate might be, she wouldn't run away anymore!
Seeing Rias like that, a smile appeared on Tenraku's face again.
"Yes, let's go home..."
