...
Badr spoke with a sincere and resolute expression, revealing the emotions he held deep within.
Gently embracing Akeno Himejima, he said in a calm voice, "Don't feel inferior or burdened by your lineage. Your bloodline should never dictate your life."
Akeno's gaze softened.
"Are you giving me a pep talk...?"
"Only if you truly take it to heart."
"Hehe, could you hold me a little tighter? I feel so safe in your arms."
He couldn't refuse such a request. Badr held Akeno closer. Her miko attire had loosened, revealing her snow-white shoulders.
With her delicate collarbone exposed and her high ponytail swaying, Akeno exuded an alluring aura.
She gazed at Badr intently, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"I've decided. I want to be with you. Do you love Rias?"
"Yes."
"Then it can't be helped. And there's Asia and your other girlfriend too. It seems becoming the 'official' wife is impossible. But that doesn't matter anymore. Even if I'm the third, fourth, or fifth, I'm willing..."
Badr chuckled. "How did your thoughts jump to that?"
Akeno gave a wry smile, a hint of resentment in her voice. "Because you're loved by so many, Badr. You're such a playboy..."
"A playboy? ... They like me, so naturally, I have to respond to their feelings. I'm just going with the flow now. If they were to dislike me, I wouldn't force anything. It's all about fate."
Badr's expression was honest and open.
He always treated matters of the heart seriously. He would clearly express his feelings, whether it was love or not. If those feelings deepened, he wouldn't hide them.
Akeno sighed, knowing he was telling the truth. That was the kind of person he was.
But...
"That's easy for you to say, but you're just too lovable."
Badr pondered for a moment.
"But apart from my first girlfriend, I haven't actively pursued any other women."
"That's the problem!" Akeno's smile was strained. "You haven't even actively pursued anyone, and you're already this popular. What if you become more proactive in the future...?"
"I won't be proactive. Pursuing girls is exhausting."
Badr grinned. "I'll just wait for girls who like me, like you, to come to me. I prefer being passive."
Akeno: "..."
She couldn't help but laugh, though his words sounded a bit strange.
However, she knew deep down that gaining Badr's full attention was difficult. She still remembered his initially cold and aloof personality vividly.
Compared to when they first met, Badr's personality had changed significantly.
"How about I give you a lap pillow instead of Rias?"
"Hmm, I'm looking forward to it," Badr chuckled.
Guided by Akeno, he rested his head on her lap.
Her thighs were indeed soft, providing a comfortable cushion.
Watching Badr with his eyes closed, Akeno couldn't resist gently stroking his hair.
"Is this comfortable?"
"Very nice, but the floor is a bit hard."
"Then... how about the bed?" Akeno pointed towards a room. "That's where I sleep."
Badr glanced over. "You still live here?"
"Yes. Ever since I learned that Rias gets to sleep with you every night, I've felt a little lonely."
Akeno's voice held a hint of sadness, different from her usual tone.
Was she acting spoiled?
She definitely was.
After all, her usual teasing tone, filled with "Ara ara" had been replaced by the voice of a sweet, vulnerable girl.
This side of Akeno was adorable.
Badr smiled faintly, got up, and lifted Akeno into his arms, carrying her to her room.
The bedroom was simple, as expected within a shrine. There weren't many decorations.
The austere room was clean and tidy, decorated in cool tones. Clothes hung on a rack, giving the space a lived-in feel.
Badr placed Akeno on the bed, leaning over her and kissing her passionately.
They kissed for a long while before finally parting.
Badr looked at Akeno beneath him.
Wearing her miko attire, Akeno had a different air about her. Despite being a devil, the miko outfit suited her perfectly, without any sense of contradiction.
"Do I look good?"
Akeno blushed under Badr's intense gaze, her eyes filled with affection.
"Beautiful. This miko outfit suits you perfectly, Akeno."
Badr smiled playfully. "I almost don't want you to take it off."
"Ara ara, then let's continue like this."
Akeno laughed, placing her hands on Badr's shoulders. She licked her lips and swallowed, her voice slightly husky.
"Make a mess of me like this."
If someone didn't know her, they might mistake her for a succubus.
However, Akeno was far more sophisticated than a mere succubus.
Her miko outfit was now disheveled, her high ponytail slightly messy. A few strands of hair clung to her cheeks, and one was caught between her teeth.
Her long black hair cascaded across the bed. Badr looked down at Akeno's captivating appearance, a sigh escaping his lips.
... She truly was enchanting.
Badr leaned down and kissed her red lips, then trailed kisses along her cheek, earlobe, and down her neck...
Akeno activated the shrine's barrier, then surrendered to the pleasure she shared with Badr...
...
Upon their return from the shrine, Rias quickly noticed something different about Akeno.
"Why are you so happy?"
"I was just thinking that I might get pregnant before you."
Akeno's words were a direct provocation.
Rias forehead creased with irritation as she glared at Akeno.
"I believe I told you not to make a move on Badr!"
"Hmm? I won't accept such unfair conditions!"
Badr watched their argument with a calm expression, then wrapped his arm around Rias waist and kissed her cheek.
"Don't worry about such trivial matters. Has the time and place for the Three Factions meeting been finalized?"
Rias shot Badr an annoyed look but quickly softened, seemingly accepting the reality of the situation.
"The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, which is tomorrow. It will be held in the school's conference room. It's confidential, only known to the leaders and their close confidants."
"Tomorrow..."
Badr's gaze lowered slightly. "Rias, will everything truly be peaceful once the peace treaty is signed?"
"Of course. This is a meeting held by the leaders of the Three Factions to resolve the conflict." Rias looked at Badr curiously. "What are you worried about?"
"I just have a feeling that things won't end so simply."
Badr walked to the window, watching the students outside the old school building. They were going about their daily lives, completely unaware of the battles that had taken place within the school, battles that had threatened the peace of the three realms.
"What does he mean?" Xenovia asked Asia Argento and Koneko Toujou, who were standing beside her.
Her thought process was straightforward. Perhaps due to her intense martial arts training, she preferred not to overthink things outside of combat.
"Badr is worried that other dangerous elements might continue to cause trouble," Koneko replied.
Despite her usual quiet demeanor, Koneko was very perceptive.
Rias sighed deeply.
"Compared to those hidden threats, I'm more concerned about tomorrow's meeting... If we can't reach an agreement tomorrow, then worrying about those dangerous elements will be pointless."
Badr tilted his head slightly. He wasn't particularly worried about that aspect.
The Three Factions meeting was inevitable. Currently, all three sides desired a peace treaty, so there was little chance of the talks failing.
At most, they would be haggling over benefits, seeing who would make the most concessions. Regardless of who gained or lost, the treaty would ultimately be signed.
"We'll see what happens tomorrow."
Badr spoke calmly, a glint of gold flashing in his eyes.
He had a premonition that tomorrow's meeting wouldn't be entirely smooth. Something unexpected was bound to happen...
...
The following morning.
Thanks to the efforts of Student Council President Sona Sitri, the students in the old school building had been evacuated.
After all, the individuals gathering in the old school building's conference room today were prominent figures from the three major factions: Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels.
Knock, knock, knock...
Rias gently knocked on the conference room door.
"Please come in."
The door opened, and Rias entered with her peerage.
Badr calmly surveyed the room.
A specially prepared table, crafted from what appeared to be expensive wood, occupied the center of the room. Several familiar faces were already seated around it.
The atmosphere was tense, everyone's expressions serious.
Representing the Devils was Rias older brother, Sirzechs Lucifer, the current Satan Lucifer. Beside him sat his wife and Queen, Grayfia Lucifuge.
Next to Sirzechs sat another Satan, Serafall Leviathan.
This Satan was also the older sister of Student Council President Sona Sitri. She appeared as a young girl with adorable twin tails. Judging by her appearance alone, it was hard to associate her with the powerful Satan Leviathan...
Representing the Angels was Archangel Michael. He was accompanied by two women. One was a stunning angel with a golden halo and white wings. The other was the Holy Sword user they had encountered before: Irina Shidou.
Xenovia's expression turned awkward when she saw Irina. After all, she had now been reincarnated as a Devil. Seeing her former comrade, Irina, was quite embarrassing.
Irina's gaze towards Xenovia was complex.
She had been severely injured and absent during the battle that day, unaware of God's death. Until now, she had believed that Xenovia had betrayed the Church, considering her a traitor.
She had even argued with Xenovia before their departure, but just before leaving, Michael had informed her of God's demise...
She had wrongly accused Xenovia...
Finally, Badr's gaze fell upon the Fallen Angel delegation.
