"That is true... If I cannot restore Kuoh Academy to the way it was when the president entrusted it to , I would have no face to et him."
Sona sighed~
She had not expected Rias's resistance to be so intense. She had gone so far as to clash with Riser right on campus.
"By the way, is Rias's little cat all right now?"
Sona asked again.
"Yes... Toujou only suffered minor injuries."
"However, Phenex flas are rather difficult to deal with, so she will likely need so ti to recover."
Tsubaki adjusted her glasses.
She had not expected that quiet white-haired cat to be capable of unleashing such powerful combat strength.
The white-haired cat, of course, was Koneko.
She had directly clashed with Phenex before.
"Speaking of which, Vice President, why have you not gone to visit the president first?"
Tsubaki asked, sounding slightly puzzled.
The president had clearly returned the day before yesterday, and they had received the news of his return yesterday.
Yet Sona had not reacted much.
Was this what people called a tsundere girl?
"Why have I not gone to visit the president?"
"Because I do not want to run into Rias there."
Sona adjusted her glasses and silently added the rest in her heart.
She had seen that the situation on Rias's side seed rather urgent, so she had given Rias the first opportunity.
Yes.
She still valued the friendship between close friends.
Only, she still did not know that her dear friend had already happily beco the cat who stole the cream. Aside from being unable to withstand the impact of his holy power, Rias had not felt too much discomfort.
"Tsubaki, do not concern yourself with things that have nothing to do with you. Just focus on your own duties."
Sona lightly warned her retainer, telling her not to pry into her master's gossip.
"Yes, Vice President."
Tsubaki's voice was perfectly calm.
But giving up gossip?
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible in this lifeti.
And so, with Sona feeling just a little uneasy, the day of Anos Kanzaki's return to school finally arrived.
Unfortunately, the news had already spread throughout nearly the entire academy.
"Did you hear? The president is coming back tomorrow. I feel like I finally have the motivation to study again."
A girl's eyes glistened with emotional tears. She had not expected that without the president nearby, she would completely lose the will to study.
What?
Would she actually feel like studying if the president were nearby?
Hmm...
That was impossible too.
If the president were nearby, she would obviously spend every day staring at President Anos and thinking about him. Where would she find the mind to study?
Conclusion: no matter what happened, she would not have the mind to study.
Studying was impossible.
Absolutely impossible in this lifeti.
Only by looking at the president and thinking about him every day could she barely keep living.
"President! During the days you were gone, even my grades fell."
"Hey, hey, did you hear? Apparently, the president left this ti because of what happened with Vice President Sona."
"Oh? What happened?"
Another girl's interest was instantly piqued.
As expected, gossip was human nature.
"You know, the rumor that Vice President Sona got pregnant before marriage. I heard the president left before because he went to visit Vice President Sona's family."
A girl voiced a conclusion that had clearly not gone through any serious thought.
"So that is what happened? But wasn't that rumor already denied?"
"Idiot... It is precisely because there was so truth to it that the president and vice president ordered the news to be suppressed."
"I see... I have learned sothing today."
...
Before Anos even entered the academy, he already knew that gossip about him had spread everywhere.
However, he did not care much about such things now. After all, did this not also show how much the students loved and respected him?
There was just one image problem he felt he had to correct.
In the eyes of the students, he apparently looked like soone who would get a girl pregnant before marriage because he did not use protection.
That misunderstanding had to be fixed.
He only skipped protection because he was sure he had no worries in that regard, all right?
With his current constitution, the most likely possibility would probably be with Asia, since her physique was the closest match to his. As for the others, even Ophis was almost impossible.
Still, with a lifespan that could stretch beyond hundreds of millions of years, a low fertility rate did not seem like a big issue.
"Anos, it should be fine, right?"
Before leaving, Rias was still a little uneasy.
After all, she had not refused Anos before, and she had not had ti to take anything afterward.
At this mont, Rias was already a little panicked. She had even forgotten that human dicine might not have much effect on devils.
"Relax... It will be fine, Have you ever heard of an angel and a devil having a child?"
Anos smiled helplessly.
He had already lost count of how many tis Rias had asked him this question.
Was it not just that they had not used protection?
How big of a deal was that?
"That... that is true."
Rias was once again persuaded by the reason Anos gave her.
It did seem to make sense.
After all, she had seen Anos's power. Unlike priests and holy sword users who rely used holy power and holy swords, Anos himself was almost composed of holy power.
In theory, it should be impossible for him to have offspring with a devil, and it should also be impossible for him to reincarnate as a devil.
Yes.
In theory.
After all, the true Biblical God was already gone, and sothing like a Holy Demonic Sword could be created. A child of both holy and demonic power should also be theoretically possible.
It was just that Anos's "holy" and Rias's "demonic" were not on the sa level, making it extrely difficult to balance and rge them.
"By the way, Anos, about what I told you before..."
Rias stopped halfway through her sentence, as if she had thought of sothing again.
"Yes, I know, after all, Rias is mine now, The conditions that will force Riser to act have already been created, and Grayfia witnessed it personally. Leave the rest to ."
Anos comforted Rias.
He could sense the faint unease in her heart.
That was normal. Any normal girl would beco a little anxious, sensitive, and insecure after giving away her first ti.
"So Anos bound Grayfia and kept her from moving so that she could serve as a witness."
Such a subtle thought appeared in Rias's heart.
In that case, Anos had actually considered things quite thoroughly?
Although it did seem a little insane.
After all, not many people would tie Grayfia up and make her watch the whole thing.
"Yes... Just leave it to ."
Anos gave his promise while gently stroking Rias's crimson hair.
While speaking reassuring words to Rias, the two of them finally returned to Kuoh Academy.
Looking at Kuoh Academy, which did not seem too different from the one in his mory, a trace of nostalgia flashed through Anos's eyes.
For Rias and Sona, it had only been three short weeks.
But for him, it had been a full year.
How many years could one really have?
At least to the current him, one year could not be considered a short stretch of ti.
"Right, Anos, there is sothing I have not told you yet."
Before they walked inside, Rias took Anos's hand, seemingly a little afraid that he might do sothing.
"Hm? What is it?"
Anos asked casually.
"Before... before you ca back, Riser ca here."
After hesitating for a long ti, Rias finally forced the words out.
"Riser... Riser Phenex, your fiancé, right? He ca here before..."
Anos narrowed his eyes.
So this was the reason Rias had felt so pressured?
Because Riser had co before, she had been so desperate to find him.
"Anos, please do not get angry."
The more Rias spoke, the smaller her voice beca. By the end, even she could barely hear herself.
"What happened? Relax, Rias. Do you still not know ?"
Anos narrowed his eyes. Before Rias could even say it, he began judging the situation.
During the few seconds Rias spent hesitating, Anos had already completed his assessnt.
He looked at Rias calmly.
He already understood why Rias was sowhat hesitant.
"Anos, um... Koneko was burned by Phenex flas during the earlier conflict with him."
Rias spoke with deep guilt.
Her most precious retainer had fought for her and suffered pain for her. To Rias, that was sothing very hard to bear.
The House of Gremory was a devil family that treated love as its family creed. Other devils regarded their retainers as servants, but Rias regarded hers as family.
"I understand."
Anos sighed.
In the end, he still heard that answer from Rias's own mouth.
"In that case, let us head to the first-year building first."
His reaction was different from what Rias had imagined, leaving her stunned for a mont.
"Mm... okay."
Rias followed Anos to the first-year classroom building, deep in thought.
...
"Koneko! Koneko!"
While Koneko was healing herself and thinking about what her sister had said to her, she heard the voice of one of her classmates.
"What... what is it?"
Koneko lifted her head from the desk and asked in a slightly dazed voice.
"Anos-san is back. He ca here to see you."
The girl who woke Koneko up spoke with great excitent.
