Asia's arrival heralded the beginning of the plot.
Before long, the first early-stage mini-boss, Riser, would emerge.
Regarding this guy, August didn't have much aversion. Although in the original story, this guy had an unpleasant image, with all his peerages being females, even his own younger sister included.
But in August's view, it didn't matter much. Sometimes, people's anger and dissatisfaction stem from envy that cannot be satisfied.
Because he doesn't have something and the other does, then he must be wrong, guilty, this is a typical mentality of resentment.
Riser, as the third child of the Phenex family, a pure-blooded high-class devil, may have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, having a bunch of women as his peerages, including his own sister. August considered it normal.
Not to mention, August's peerages were also planned to be all women. The only difference was that August's criteria were a bit stricter.
"Hmm? Come out when you've arrived, lecherous crow."
"Oh my, you're straightforward. And what do you mean by lecherous crow? I'm the governor of the fallen angels."
"Don't give me that. The governor of the fallen angels, casually strolling through the red-light district of Kuoh?"
"I was there to save fallen women. It's a noble cause."
Seeing the unyielding Azazel, August was no longer interested in paying attention. August was afraid he might not resist the urge to punch him.
Seeing August talking, Azazel didn't get angry. He shamelessly walked over.
He really wanted to study the Boosted Gear. He had already researched the Divine Dividing. As long as he could study the Boosted Gear, it would definitely make significant progress in his artificial sacred gear skills.
"What about our three fallen angels?"
"Hmm? You know about them?"
"Well~, Raynare is my subordinate after all. I know a little about her."
"Well, it's a pity. Your fangirl is now mine."
"It doesn't matter. I have no feelings for her, and she keeps coming to me, making me helpless. That's why I transferred her to Kuoh."
"Hmph, truly the governor of the fallen angels. Used to enjoying the finest things, and now reminiscing about the past."
It was funny. Azazel fell from grace because he wanted intimate contact with women. Fallen due to such a desire, he became the governor of the fallen angels.
So, over the years, he had intimate contact with countless women, not only female fallen angels but also other races.
Now, it seemed similar to what August had said. Tired of the finer things in life, he started to enjoy visiting more lively places.
Leaving aside the fact that, just within the fallen angels, countless female fallen angels admired and yearned for him, he still preferred women from the red-light district.
August couldn't understand this behavior and had no intention of understanding it.
"By the way, how is the sacred gears I wanted coming along after this month?"
"I say, bro, do you think artificial sacred gears are street goods? And there are five of them at once, and they need to match the sacred gears of those girls. It takes time for me to make them."
"Do you have time to find women? It means you're not tired."
"Don't you have any humanity left? Can't I take a break?"
"I am not human."
"Y-You..."
Azazel was almost choked. This person can't be bothered to joke about it.
"By the way, how's the investigation into the Khaos Brigade going?"
"No progress. These guys are hidden too well. Without them showing up voluntarily, we can't find them at all."
Saying this, Azazel sighed. There was no progress, and he was also helpless.
On the side, August smiled slightly. Your adopted son is a member of the Khaos Brigade. With him there, how could you find the Khaos Brigade?
Moreover, the Khaos Brigade is currently cooperating with the descendants of the old Satan in the underworld. They don't have time to cause trouble elsewhere.
"By the way, Azazel, have you been in Kuoh recently?"
"It's not certain. But if I'm free, I should come over. Why? Do you need me for something?"
"Not really. It's just that there might be some commotion in Kuoh recently. I'm telling you in advance, everything is under my control. Don't come out and cause trouble."
"What do you mean by me causing trouble?"
"The governor of the fallen angels suddenly appeared in Kuoh. If you were in my shoes, what would you think?"
"Uh, I understand. I won't act recklessly."
"Also, don't use devil flyers to summon devils just out of interest."
"You know about that too?"
He really had such an idea. Sometimes, being a big shot was boring.
So, being with these juniors made him feel interesting.
But it was just an idea. August wondered how he knew about it, it puzzled him.
"I only know what I want to know."
"Again with that sentence. If possible, I really want to kill you."
"It's a pity. You can't."
"I..."
Pointing at August, Azazel really wanted to curse loudly, but he dared not. This demon duke was too mysterious. Even though he had known him for over a month, he still hadn't seen through him at all.
His existence itself was like a black hole, making people want to gaze at it but fearing being devoured.
"Enough with the 'I'. If you have nothing, just leave."
"Hey, I have a short temper."
"So? I'm not in trouble, you can leave."
"Heh, what's this? I'm leaving now."
Intimidated, the governor of the fallen angels backed off.
And just as Azazel had left, two small figures walked over from not far away.
"My lord~"
Asia, wearing the Kuoh Academy uniform, jogged over.
Behind her was Koneko. Obviously, Koneko was taking Asia for a tour of the campus.
"Oh, Asia, Koneko."
"My lord, what are you doing here?"
"What am I doing? Of course, I'm skipping class and enjoying some leisurely time."
"But Koneko said skipping class is bad. Learning is important."
"What else did Koneko say?"
"Koneko also said, Lord August is not a good person, very lecherous. She said you're dangerous, and asked if I was willing to move to her house."
Asia's innocent and naive voice made Koneko behind her stiffen.
For August, she was both respected and feared. She helped him know all the truths, but she also subjected him to devilish training not long ago.
Now that Asia had told August everything she and Koneko said, it was trouble for her.
"Ah, Koneko, where are you going?"
Just as she turned around, August's voice came from behind her.
