DxD: Reborn with a Divine Treasure Chest System Chapter 126 126: 126. Into Phenex Territory

◉◉◉◉◉

Her desire for gossip was burning fiercely.

She had not expected the president and Koneko to have such a good relationship. The first person he ca to see after returning was actually Koneko?

And it seed that Rias, the president of the Occult Research Club, was also by his side.

What exactly was going to happen?

She was very much looking forward to seeing how things developed.

"Anos."

Koneko's expression was slightly blank and uncertain.

Anos had already returned?

And he had co to find her?

Although she had already learned from Akeno that Anos had returned, she had not yet prepared herself to face him.

That was right.

Koneko believed that getting injured had been her own fault.

"Koneko, hurry up. What are you standing there for?"

The girl who had woken Koneko up saw that she was still lost in thought, so she directly pushed her out of the classroom.

No need to thank her.

She was an ally of justice.

The representative of the people's will.

"Anos..."

Koneko did not quite dare to look Anos in the eyes.

After all, before Anos had returned, they had indeed been the ones who clashed with Phenex.

"Koneko, this is my fault, Let us go to the old school building first."

Seeing Koneko's self-blaming expression, Anos smiled helplessly.

It could indeed be considered his fault.

He had clearly promised Kuroka that he would protect Koneko, yet Koneko still ended up injured.

Under the stares and surprised cries of the gathered first-years, Anos directly took Koneko's hand and left the lower-grade building.

Once they arrived at the old school building, Anos checked Koneko's injuries. He had to admit they were not light. Even with Koneko's senjutsu, she had still not fully recovered.

However, his research into senjutsu was far deeper than Koneko's.

"These were burns from Phenex flas, right? Those flas burn hot enough to scorch dragon scales, and with the troubleso nature of phoenix fire added on top, it is no wonder it took several days just to reach this state."

A faint white glow appeared in Anos's hand.

It was the light of senjutsu.

As that soft white light flowed through Koneko's body, she felt a kind of comfort she had never experienced before.

"Nya~"

Unable to hold it in, Koneko instinctively let out her natural cry.

"All right... There should basically be no issue now."

Anos patted Koneko on the head, snapping her out of that blissfully comfortable expression.

Senjutsu had many different applications.

It could be used to strengthen one's physique and combat power, injected into an enemy's body to damage their source, or used to heal at a fundantal level.

Of course, the fact that it was so versatile also ant that it was difficult to reach the absolute peak in every single field.

"Rias, Koneko, Akeno, I'm heading out for a bit. Do you want to co with ?"

Anos stood before the mirror in the Occult Research Club and adjusted his collar as he spoke.

"Heading out? Where? Anos, didn't you just co back?"

Rias's tone beca slightly urgent.

They had clearly slept together just last night, and now Anos was leaving again?

Her nose suddenly felt a little sore.

After a girl gave herself to soone, she really could beco anxious and insecure like this. Anos understood that, so he imdiately explained.

"I'm asking whether you want to co with , aren't I? Relax. I'm not going far. We'll be back soon."

After Anos finished straightening his clothes, a magic circle began to glow beneath his feet.

"My, my~ It seems this really is quite urgent."

Akeno narrowed her eyes, a knowing smile spreading across her face. She felt that she already knew what Anos was about to do.

"Akeno, do you know what this is about?"

Rias hurriedly asked.

Rias was usually very clever, but when it ca to matters of emotion, she always seed to lose her composure.

"Of course... The place Anos is going... is the Phenex territory, right?"

Akeno felt that, sure enough, Anos was still Anos.

"Yes, that is right, Are you coming?"

Anos reached his hand toward Rias and the others.

Whether they ca along or not, he was going to the Phenex family's territory.

Because aside from Rias's matter, this had already beco his own business.

"Anos, there is no need to do this. What we should do now is wait for President Rias to create the right conditions for you to intervene. We should act only after we have the initiative."

Koneko gently tugged on Anos's sleeve.

She did not want Anos to act impulsively because of her.

Although she was also happy and moved by his concern, she did not want Rias to be placed at a disadvantage in the matter of her engagent when Koneko herself had already been injured.

What she did not know was that Anos already had a position from which he could openly intervene.

"Koneko."

Rias took Koneko's hand and gently pulled it away from Anos's sleeve.

Grayfia had already gone back quite so ti ago. By now, her brother should also know about what had happened.

Then so be it.

As soone who had already joined herself to Anos, Rias felt that she should at least understand and accept his thoughts and actions in this matter.

"President Rias?"

Koneko did not understand these things.

That was why she was still just a young, innocent girl.

"Koneko, Kuroka is not by your side right now, is she?"

Anos asked a question that seed sowhat out of place at this mont.

"Yes... Yes, my sister is not here."

Koneko's gaze lowered.

She rembered what her sister had said to her after seeing her injuries.

"Shirone, the only one you can truly rely on is yourself. Understand? n, won, even your big sister. None of them can be relied on."

After saying that, Kuroka had not appeared before Koneko again.

Although Kuroka was responsible for guiding Koneko's training, she was not by Koneko's side at every mont. For example, when Koneko went to school, Kuroka could not possibly stay beside her.

That was why Koneko had been injured in the conflict with Phenex.

If Kuroka had been there, even if she could not completely defeat Phenex, she could at least have tornted Riser dozens of tis over.

After seeing Koneko's injuries, Kuroka had not healed her either. She only told Koneko to think carefully about her own situation while healing herself.

Not long after that, Kuroka had said goodbye to Koneko.

Without waiting for Koneko's response, Kuroka disappeared from in front of her, and she had not appeared again since.

"Koneko, do you know what Kuroka has gone to do?"

Anos looked at Koneko, who had fallen into thought, and asked.

"I... I do not know, My sister did not say whether she would co back either."

Koneko paused for a mont before answering.

"Is that so?"

"Koneko, in that case, I have even more reason to make a trip to the Phenex family."

Anos narrowed his eyes.

Kuroka really was a cat with a strong sense of vengeance.

"Why?"

Koneko still did not quite understand.

"Because if I act later than Kuroka, I probably won't have the face to et her again."

The magic circle beneath Anos's feet released a brilliant light, instantly transferring everyone in the Occult Research Club to the Underworld.

"Anos? What did you an just now about my sister?"

Koneko did not care that they had already been transferred. She only wanted to know the news about her sister.

"That's right. Kuroka will probably choose a certain ti to beat that fire turkey who injured you half to death. It just will not be within the next few days."

"You should all know that I have a certain degree of foresight, right? This is sothing I happened to foresee."

Anos knew how much weight Koneko held in Kuroka's heart. How could Kuroka possibly do nothing and let it end there?

He had already judged the outco.

In a few days, when Riser went out to wander around, Kuroka would bring the trouble-loving Bikou with her and beat Phenex hundreds, even thousands of tis over before throwing the half-dead fire turkey in front of the Phenex family's gate.

And he had to make his own response before that.

Otherwise, even he would look down on himself.

"So, Anos, you transferred us directly into Phenex territory?"

Rias sighed.

She accepted Anos's reasoning and actions.

It was just...

A little ntally exhausting.

Anos, you could have waited until our identities were registered before entering the Underworld. Coming in like this will get us treated as illegal entrants.

And Anos also possessed a holy attribute that was extrely conspicuous in the Underworld. She was worried that soone would try to make an issue out of it.

"That's right... Rias, you can contact your brother first and have him prepare in advance."

Anos moved his wrist and looked toward the Phenex mansion.

When he entered the old school building, he had already noticed how different it was from before. Combined with the fact that Phenex had clashed with Koneko and the others, Anos already knew what Phenex had done to his school.

It was still the school under his managent.

The old school building had been destroyed, and his junior had been injured.

Anos was not the kind of person who would swallow his anger over sothing like that.

"All right, I understand. I'll contact my brother right away."

Rias nodded firmly.

After witnessing the strength Anos possessed, enough to make even Grayfia helpless, she no longer had any doubts about his actions. At most, she would only ask questions because she was confused.
