In Kuoh, an old residential area had houses whose foundations had beco loose due to soil erosion.
Six months ago, a collapse occurred causing most of the residents in the area to move away.
No real estate developer had taken over the area yet, leaving the abandoned residential district standing there.
At night.
Even holess scavengers didn't dare go inside to sleep.
This residential area, deserted for months, welcod special guests at night or rather a stray.
"Strays have a particular fondness for these abandoned buildings."
To ordinary people, the residential area was like a haunted house.
However for devils, it was nearly a paradise.
Devils are creatures of darkness in a broad sense.
"Even human fugitives are nocturnal, let alone fugitives from the underworld. Stay alert, that stray lurking here has already discovered us."
Tsubaki carefully surveyed the surroundings. This was her first ti leading a hunt for a stray, so she was exceptionally cautious and serious.
Apart from Tsubaki, none of the others had any experience hunting strays, let alone having to take care of Asia who needed constant protection.
It couldn't be denied that Asia's Twilight Healing, could play an extrely powerful supporting role.
It also ant she was physically weak and had no ans of attack or defense, so a portion of their combat force needed to be allocated to protect her at all tis.
Momo scratched her face sheepishly, then like the others went into a state of high alert, constantly watching for any movent around her.
...
"Aside from Tsubaki, if your peerage mbers encounter any of the church's more powerful exorcists, Sona. They'll likely have no chance against them."
Hidden in the shadows, Yasuhiro spoke to Sona beside him.
"That's my mistake, I usually protect them too much."
Sona's training of her peerage was rather conventional, especially when it ca to missions like hunting down strays.
Normally, it was just a job for her and Tsubaki.
As rookie who had just turned into devils, Sona didn't want them to face combat too early.
This could be considered as her care for peerage mber. In this respect, Rias and Sona were exactly the opposite.
A few years ago, Sona's servant was only Tsubaki. Back then, she and Tsubaki alone had engaged in a sensational rating ga with her forr fiancé.
Fortunately, her forr fiancé also had a similar number of servants. If it were now, the outco of the rating ga would be hard to predict.
From Yasuhiro's perspective, Sona's servants were quite talented, though slightly weaker compared to Rias's peerage.
But how many lineups like Rias's were there in the entire underworld?
If all the talents and potential of Sona's peerage mbers were fully developed, they would beco a capable team.
Sona understood these things as well. It was precisely because she was too worried about their safety that they had ended up in this awkward situation.
In Yasuhiro's mories, it seed they only matured after receiving the artificial sacred gears provided by Azazel and developing their abilities through them.
"Warriors are forged on the battlefield, you surely understand that, right?"
Sona understood the aning behind Yasuhiro's words.
"Forcing growth is not advisable, a gradual approach is the most effective way for them to develop."
Sona and Yasuhiro had different training philosophies, Sona was not as extre as Yasuhiro.
Their different upbringings led to their different approaches to this matter. Yasuhiro's strength was entirely due to hunting devils.
As a long llived beings, certain aspects of their pacing and developnt were determined from birth.
Even for Rias, who was obsessed with her achievents, the number of strays she hunted in a month probably couldn't compare to the number Yasuhiro had hunted when he worked for the church.

Yasuhiro felt that the world was full of dangers. Later in the story, the terrorists of the Khaos Brigade and the cunning Realm of the Dead lurked in the shadows, including Hades, the God of the Underworld.
Trihexa, the Beast of 666 was a huge burden on his heart.
Even the God of the bible had expended a great deal of his power to seal this terrifying monster in it. Later in the story, in order to combat Trihexa the gods of the various pantheons, the Maous of the underworld and the four great seraphs to join forces to launch a thousand year war.
It was easy to imagine that the monster was incredibly powerful and had an apocalyptic nature that made it nearly impossible to deal with.
In recent years, Yasuhiro had been thinking about how to completely eliminate Trihexa, but progress had been slow.
He could only ask the four great seraphs to secretly guard its sealed location.
"They were careless," Yasuhiro said with a frown.
While he was talking to Sona, the girls had actually been ambushed and injured by the cunning stray.
If it weren't for Asia using her Twilight healing to heal them in ti, this mission to hunt down the stray would have ended in failure.
