"Eh? Is soone cosplaying in that classroom?"
At Shuchiin Academy.
A blonde girl, exuding a striking presence, curiously observed the scene before her.
"Ah… it's gone."
Inside the Supernatural Investigation Club.
Lynn retracted his wings back into his body.
Impersonating a Fallen Angel Governor…
It was sowhat amusing, but not particularly thrilling.
Right now, his Peerage's growth was the top priority.
At the current rate, the zombies in the base within the Zombie World were almost wiped out.
If this continued, their training efficiency would only decline.
Should I consider relocating the base?
No rush. I'll wait for Saeko's report first.
After she was promoted to a Mid-Class Devil, he had assigned her to explore further regions alone.
Hopefully, she would discover sothing useful, perhaps even a suitable new base.
Additionally, now that Saeko had reached Mid-Class, he wasn't sure if fighting zombies still provided her with aningful experience.
Lynn opened his system panel.
The Devil's Summoning skill remained unchanged.
He still didn't know when he would gain access to a second different world.
Nowadays, his Peerage had no shortage of talent, and they already controlled one world, making common resources readily available.
Typically, Lynn arranged for his mbers to gather rare materials and sell them in the main world.
This ensured that even after graduation, none of them had to worry about finding a job.
Lynn even felt that the house he had purchased earlier was becoming a little cramped.
Fortunately, Sona had gifted him a house before, which wasn't bad at all.
Speaking of Sona, his mind naturally drifted to Rias.
"Now that I think about it, Rias really gave a generous gift this ti."
The Blazing Spear was a perfect match for Mahiru.
The basic magic knowledge from before might not have been a big deal.
But the super-tier magic she gave him, Lightning Strike was clearly a gesture of goodwill, offered just because she was curious about Utaha's abilities.
And this ti?
A re complint, and she gifted him such a valuable weapon?
Rias truly saw him as a friend.
After considering it, Lynn decided it was worth maintaining his connection with such a generous benefactor.
He pulled out his phone and found Rias's contact on LINE.
Lynn: Rias, the gift was perfect. Thanks for this, I'll treat you to a al soti!
After sending the ssage, he stroked his chin.
This… should be fine, right?
Just then, his phone rang.
Lynn assud it was Rias, but instead, it was a notification from the Chat Group.
Busujima Saeko: Master, during my exploration, I found a woman claiming to be Takagi Saya's mother.
Busujima Saeko: [Image].jpg
Clicking on the picture, a woman with long, purple hair and a mature allure ca into view.
She looked utterly exhausted.
Drill Twin Ponytail Girl: !!
Drill Twin Ponytail Girl: That's Mom!!
Lynn raised an eyebrow. "Seriously…?"
He recalled that Takagi Yuriko should have had a temporary safe house, right?
After pondering for a mont, he responded in the group.
Sigma Man: What's her condition?
Busujima Saeko: When I found her, she was completely drained and about to be surrounded by zombies. I rescued her just in ti.
—Inside the Zombie World—
Takagi Saya stared at the group ssages, her heart pounding with anxiety.
Sigma Man: In that case, bring her back.
"Ugh!"
Saya covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.
Mom… She's safe!
—anwhile, at Kuoh Academy—
Inside the Occult Research Club.
Sona silently stared at Rias.
Rias, gripping her phone, awkwardly twirled her hair with her fingers.
Earlier, when she had left her phone on the table, Sona had accidentally caught a glimpse of the ssage from Lynn.
And now, things had beco like this.
Sona's voice was calm but sharp. "When did your relationship beco so close?"
Dinner?
No—this was a date invitation!
And what's with the gift?
Did Rias secretly give Lynn a present behind her back?!
"Ahaha, it's just a trivial item," Rias replied with a forced laugh.
Well… Blazing Spear was hardly "trivial" anymore.
Rias remained composed. "I've been helping Lynn out quite a bit lately. Isn't it natural for him to treat to a al in return?"
She carefully observed Sona's reaction and felt relieved when she didn't seem too upset.
Then, with a firm nod, she solemnly declared, "Don't worry, Sona. He's your fiancé. How could I possibly do anything to your fiancé?"
Hearing this, Sona let out a subtle sigh of relief.
She wasn't sure why, but she felt reassured.
However…
There was sothing she had overlooked.
Due to how things had played out when she first t Lynn, she had been hesitant to et him directly.
Even when she wanted to give him sothing, she had done so through Rias.
As a result, Rias and Lynn's relationship had naturally deepened.
And yet, she was supposed to be his fiancée.
This couldn't continue!
Regardless.
Watching Rias and Lynn grow closer made her uncomfortable.
Sona had to take action!
—anwhile, back in the Zombie World—
"It's a pleasure to et you, Mr. Lynn. Thank you for taking care of my daughter all this ti."
Lynn looked at her with an odd expression.
This mother and daughter pair… really knew how to act humble.
