"You can ask, but you'd investigate independently if I didn't tell you, right?"
"Promise you won't get mad?"
"I promise."
Badr nodded, cleared his throat, and smiled as he asked:
"Mai, which publication and issue is your swimsuit photo book from? Can I still buy it?"
Mai Sakurajima: "...??"
After a stunned pause, Mai suddenly reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Badr's waist, twisting it hard.
Badr's expression remained unchanged, though the corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally:
"Mai, you promised not to get mad."
"I'm not mad."
Mai Sakurajima's face displayed a gentle smile, perfect in her expression, while her hand continued to twist.
"You promised not to get mad."
"I said I'm not mad."
"You promised not to get mad."
"I've already said I'm not mad."
The two continued this repetitive exchange as they walked towards the apartment building.
...
After sending Mai Sakurajima home, Badr planned to head back himself. However, he suddenly received a call from Rias.
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Badr answered the phone.
"President?"
"Badr, I need you to come to the clubroom. Can you make it?"
"Sure, I'll be right there."
Without asking why, Badr immediately agreed.
His feelings for Rias were complicated. On the one hand, they had a master-servant relationship; on the other hand, Rias doted on him.
Usually, would other high-ranking devils sleep naked with their servants?
At least from Badr's probing, it seemed Rias hadn't done so with Akeno Himejima or Koneko Toujou...
It seemed like this only happened with him...
Shaking his head, Badr didn't think much more of it. No matter what, Rias was his master and wouldn't harm him, making her someone he could trust.
Upon arriving at the clubroom, he found Rias, Akeno Himejima, and Koneko Toujou already there.
"President, Akeno, Koneko," Badr greeted each of them.
Seeing Badr arrive, Rias nodded gently:
"I apologize for calling you all here on a Saturday."
Badr and the others assured her it was no problem.
"How's your contract negotiation going, Badr?" Rias asked with a smile.
...Why did that sound like a family member asking about a girlfriend?
"I encountered some difficulties. I'm resolving them and should have it signed by tomorrow." Badr replied softly, a bit helplessly.
"Ara ara, don't be discouraged. Signing a contract isn't easy. Communication with your contract partner is essential." Akeno said with a warm smile, gently encouraging him.
"As long as you try hard, you'll succeed," Koneko added, her short silver hair framing her striking golden eyes, which stared unblinkingly at Badr.
Badr smiled lightly, "I understand."
He looked at Rias, "President, is there something specific you need us for?"
Rias's expression grew serious as she smiled:
"Yes, we received an urgent request from a Duke."
She sat on the sofa, crossing her beautiful legs, and flicked her fiery red hair back with an authoritative gaze:
"Tonight, we're going to subdue a 'Stray Devil.'"
"Stray Devil?"
Badr was puzzled. It was a term he hadn't heard before.
"It refers to a devil who has betrayed or killed their master, thus becoming a masterless devil. Such devils are called 'Stray Devils,'" Akeno smiled, seeing Badr's confusion.
"Devils betray their masters?" Badr tilted his head.
"Of course. Why wouldn't they?" Rias laughed.
Badr chuckled, "Maybe because you're too kind, Rias."
"You thinking that means I haven't spoiled you for nothing." Rias smiled, clearly pleased by his compliment.
Akeno and Koneko both smiled as well.
Rias straightened up, her expression turning severe:
"Anyway, Stray Devils are dangerous. They ignore rules, use their powers recklessly, and without a master to restrain them, they cause havoc. Such beings shouldn't be allowed to exist."
Badr learned that besides Stray Devils, there were also Stray Angels, Stray Fallen Angels, and Stray Priests.
Regardless of the faction, these Strays were considered threats and targeted for elimination.
Rias planned to take Badr along to gain some experience.
Badr sighed inwardly, thinking that since crossing over to this world, his days had been hectic...
...
According to Rias, eliminating Stray Devils within their territory was part of their duty.
Akeno stood in the centre of the clubroom, a red magic circle rotating beneath her feet, ready for the teleportation spell.
Badr was about to embark on a subjugation mission with three beautiful girls.
"Let's go."
Rias commanded, her hair flowing as she confidently stepped onto the teleportation circle.
Standing behind the three beauties, Badr watched as the magic circle spun faster, their clothes billowing in the wind;
He caught glimpses of the scenery beneath their skirts.
Whoosh!
Light filled his vision, and it felt like they passed through a thin, transparent membrane, arriving at their destination.
Surrounded by dense shrubs, they saw an abandoned building ahead, long overgrown with moss.
"There's a smell of blood."
Koneko, immediately detecting it, wrinkled her nose cutely and covered it with her sleeve.
Her sense of smell was exceptionally keen.
In the desolate area, an eerie silence prevailed.
They all sensed the strong presence of hostility and murderous intent in the air.
"This would be a good place to kill someone and dispose of the body..." Badr observed calmly, noting that the Stray Devil was likely hiding in the abandoned building.
"Ara ara, it seems we're not welcome." Akeno chuckled, squinting her eyes.
Rias placed a hand on her hip, standing proudly with a confident smile and looking reliable.
"Of course, we're not welcome. Let's go in."
She led the way, smiling, into the building.
The others followed her in.
"Since we have this chance, do you want to experience a devil's battle?"
Rias's question made Badr raise an eyebrow.
"I haven't even signed a single contract. Do you think I can handle a Stray Devil?"
"Hmm, your power is indeed lacking." Rias smiled, spreading her hands.
Such blunt honesty...
Badr rolled his eyes. Though he knew his strength was lacking, hearing Rias say it still conflicted him.
Compared to Rias and the others, he was far from their level.
It was pretty frustrating...
"Hehe, then you can watch us fight. Do you remember what I told you about the devil pieces?"
"Yes."
Badr wouldn't forget; he bore the effects of two Knight and eight Pawn pieces.
"Take this opportunity to see Koneko and Akeno's abilities."
Before Rias finished speaking, Badr suddenly felt a sharp increase in the ominous presence.
He realized the killing intent and hostility had intensified.
"The target is here," Koneko whispered.
With a sudden chill, Badr heard faint breathing.
"Ah... Ah~ there's a scent of something distasteful and delicious. Is it sweet or bitter?"
The voice was like it came from the depths of hell.
Chilling and eerie, the sinister tone echoed in Badr's mind, sending shivers down his spine.
Badr thought this might be the authentic voice of the devil.
Rias stepped forward, her skirt fluttering, exuding a powerful aura.
"Stray Devil, we're here to subdue you."
She boldly declared their purpose.
"Ke ke ke ke ke ke..."
A strange, unsettling laugh echoed, unmistakably non-human or even non-devilish.
From a dark corner of the building, a female figure slowly emerged.
With straight black hair and a somewhat pretty face, she looked human.
Badr's gaze moved down, noticing she was completely naked, her upper body exposed without any shame.
Uh... Devils sure are uninhibited.
Badr thought, watching as the woman floated up, revealing her lower body as well.
