DxD: The Holy Knight! Chapter 41 41: Yasuhiro, I hope you will take responsibility

Ti flies like an arrow.

During the hunts for the strays, everyone made trendous progress, especially Ruruko and the others who had just been reincarnated as devils.

Sothing made Sona extrely unhappy, everyone in the council including Tsubaki had moved into Yasuhiro's villa.

During their missions to hunt down strays, injuries were inevitable and Asia had to heal them. Sotis the injuries were too severe and with more missions to complete the next day, Sona simply let them stay there to recover.

And so it went, Sona's good girls all moved in, much to Sona's annoyance.

Sona's tantrum revealed a side of her that was different from her usual self, which was quite cute.

During this ti, their relationship progressed rapidly.

...

At Night.

Yasuhiro dozed off in bed when he suddenly felt the window open and a beautiful figure enter his room.

He was used to this situation. In this villa surrounded by girls, he was often in a state of being attacked at night.

It started with Ruruko and one after another.

The black haired Tsubaki, the gentle and graceful Reya, and the energetic Tsubasa Yura...

It was precisely their affection that made Sona make the decision the night before last.

Sensing the approaching figure climbing into the bed, Yasuhiro still in a light sleep, instinctively pulled her closer to him.

The petite figure in his arms seed clingy, hugging Yasuhiro tightly with her other hand, pressing her head against his chest like a neko, trying to burrow deeper into his embrace.

Yasuhiro felt a tail wagging on her body and instinctively pinched it in his hand, which made the girl in his arms tense up.

The night passed slowly, and Yasuhiro didn't get up or look to see who the lovely person in his arms was.

...

"It wasn't any of you?"

At breakfast ti, at the table, Yasuhiro was asking who had orchestrated the night raid the day before while Sona's gaze swept over them like murderer.

The answer surprised Yasuhiro.

If it wasn't one of the girls present then who else could it be?

"Our great Casanova seems to have unknowingly seduced so girl, prompting her to sneak up on him at night," Momo teased playfully.

"Yasuhiro, you need to be more restrained. You didn't even know who she was and you actually slept with her."

As the main wife in the harem, Sona was clearly displeased with his behavior.

Yasuhiro scratched his face awkwardly, but didn't refute it. It was indeed his fault. The night raids by the girls had almost beco a habit for him.

Most importantly, Yasuhiro usually sleep in a light state. This was a professional habit left over from hunting devils, always maintaining vigilance against everything in the outside world.

Naturally, he had developed the ability to sense hostility from others even while sleeping. If there was hostility, he could adjust himself and counterattack in the best possible condition.

Like last night, the beautiful figure showed no hostility whatsoever. In fact, she even seed to harbor a deep love for him, causing him to subconsciously overlook certain things.

What was supposed to be a pleasant morning ended with Yasuhiro being thoroughly lectured.

On saturday, Sona took the girls to the academy.

Because of the backlog of council work during their previous training, they needed to work overti these two days to finish it quickly so as not to affect student affairs.

Before leaving, they asked Asia to help out.

Though Asia was nominally a mber of the ORC, but the club was practically defunct now.

Koneko and Akeno were both in poor condition, while Issei and Yuuto were training in superimposed amplitude according to Rias's instructions.

To prevent Issei from being distracted, Rias simply threw them both into the mountains near Kuoh.

Asia was also taken to training by them, leaving Rias all alone in the entire ORC, which made her look sullen all day long.

...

Yasuhiro also went out, he happened to have an appointnt today.

He walked all the way to the only shrine in Kuoh. The shrine enshrined Inari, the god of harvest in Japanese mythology and belonged to the Shinto pantheon.

Japan is said to have many gods, but in Yasuhiro's opinion, they were mostly following Amaterasu.

Then there's Yasaka, the nine tailed fox.

When Yasuhiro arrived at the main gate, he saw a graceful woman with a ponytail dressed in a shinto maiden outfit, holding a broom and sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the shrine.

"Long ti no see, Yasuhiro."

Akeno looked at Yasuhiro and spoke gently.

"It has been a long ti. The last ti we t was probably when we were kissing each other."

Hearing Yasuhiro's words, Akeno recalled how this guy had forcibly stolen her first kiss.

"Yasuhiro, you're so forgetful. I was clearly there when you created the brave saint cards but at that ti, you were probably only focused on president Sona."

Imdiately, Akeno smiled and said, "Yasuhiro, it's really surprising. Under those circumstances, you managed to win over her and now you've even added the entire council to your harem. You and Issei truly are brothers."

He couldn't very well say that the girls had forced themselves on him.

That would make him sound like a total jerk.

Akeno brought Yasuhiro into the shrine's interior and brewed him a cup of tea.

Yasuhiro picked up the cup, took a small sip and said, "I didn't expect your brewing skills to be this impressive, you've brought out all the sweetness in the tea."

"I'm glad you like it."

Akeno refilled Yasuhiro's teacup.

"What really strikes as odd is that you, as a devil are so enthusiastic about the work of a shrine maiden. Perhaps the gods enshrined here are far less powerful than you yourself."

Akeno paused then said, "Yasuhiro, would you like to hear a story?"

"A story about a shrine maiden and a fallen angel?"

Akeno smiled wryly and said, "I really can't hide anything from you. I'm afraid you already investigated everyone and everything in kuoh thoroughly when you arrived."

"This is essential work for an exorcist."

Akeno's father was an executive of grigori, a cadre class fallen angel possessing ten wings.

Her mother was a shrine maiden of the Hijima clan, one of the Five principal clans.

After her mother, Shuri rescued Baraqiel who was seriously injured, they developed feelings for each other and Akeno was born.

When Akeno was younger, her mother was killed by extremists from the Hijima clan while her father was away on a mission.

"I know everything about you, including your mother's death and your hatred of your own bloodline. This was probably the prelude to your purpose in inviting here."

"Yasuhiro, I hope you will take responsibility."

Akeno's words were filled with a hint of reproach.

This left Yasuhiro completely bewildered.

Akeno stood up, turning her back to Yasuhiro.

Three pairs of glossy black wings spread from her back.
