Ravel had thought it was sunscreen or perfu, but it turned out to be this kind of thing.
And he had just casually thrown it over from quite a distance.
"What if she hadn't caught it?"
"If it fell to the ground without breaking, that would be fine—everyone would probably assu it was perfu."
"But what if it shattered?"
Ravel believed soone would definitely recognize what it was, especially with the faint traces of her personal scent, making them realize it belonged to her.
"That's a lubricant product even better and more premium than anything on the market, and it's unavailable for purchase. Don't drop it."
These words made Ravel's face flush bright red.
Beside her, Rias's face was also rosy, but more than that, she looked exasperated and helpless.
"What?"
"Is it skincare?"
The other girls who overheard also perked up with interest.
Especially Asia and Xenovia, who looked at Renji with hopeful eyes, wishing he would gift them so as well.
"Sorry, there's none left. Only they have their share. When I get the chance, I'll help collect so for you too."
This took the two by surprise—it was actually a handmade moisturizing product? That made them even more eager.
So, they didn't pester him for anything else, knowing they should be mindful of boundaries.
Otherwise, being too nagging, complaining about unfairness or being overly emotional—such won easily beco disliked.
Of course, the two weren't refraining from pressing for more just because of this realization; they genuinely felt it was natural for Ravel and Rias to receive rewards.
They wouldn't feel jealous, nor should they—they hardly had such emotions.
After all, having been raised under the teachings of the church, both possessed a strong spirit of self-sacrifice and didn't always crave rewards.
Naturally, if the Lord were willing to grant them so blessings, they would be overjoyed.
"Hey, don't touch!!!"
Ravel suddenly shrieked, reacting as if facing a great enemy. She even summoned flas, nearly hurling them at Koneko, who had suddenly leaned her head in close.
Beside her, Rias instantly hurried to stash away the perfu bottle in her hand, genuinely afraid soone might snatch it.
This showed just how much they valued and cherished the gift he had given them.
"Unfair!!!"
A bespectacled beauty with classic straight bangs suddenly spoke up.
"Tsubaki!"
The petite girl beside her—Sona, the student council president of Kuoh Academy—realized what Tsubaki was about to say and hurriedly tried to hold her back.
"What's unfair, Shinra-san?"
"Rias having it—I have no issue with that. But if Ravel has it too, then the president should also get a share!!!"
This was the so-called unfairness Tsubaki was referring to.
Although Sona wasn't particularly fond of costic products, since the young lady of the Phenex family had received so, Sona shouldn't be left out.
After all, Sona's efforts were no less than Ravel Phenex's—in fact, they surpassed hers.
So, Tsubaki was standing up for Sona, feeling that the person before them was showing favoritism.
"Unfair? But I only have these two portions. How about this, Ravel—are you willing to give your share to Sona?"
"Huh?"
Ravel was stunned, then shook her head vehently, clutching the bottle tightly in her hand.
She looked ready to fight anyone who dared try to take it.
So, Ravel was also looking at King Solomon with resentnt—the one who had opened the door to a new world, a whole new understanding for them.
He clearly knew she couldn't possibly give it away, since it contained sothing extraordinary, yet he deliberately said such a thing.
If it really were just so kind of moisturizing product, Ravel wouldn't mind letting Sona have it.
"S-sorry, Lady Sona, I-I can't give this to you."
"No, it's fine, no need to apologize."
Sona also felt a bit awkward.
Wait, sothing wasn't right.
Being clever and perceptive, she imdiately realized that Ravel and Rias's reactions were a bit too extre.
It didn't seem like just a simple gift; rather, it felt as if the gift itself held so secret of Ravel and Rias, which was why the two were so guarded, unwilling to let anyone touch it.
They also seed particularly embarrassed?
She noticed the two of them looking at him with deep resentnt.
Suddenly, at that mont, Rias's expression changed drastically. She coated her hand with the Power of Destruction and struck at Ravel.
This sudden action startled Sona, as it looked like a genuinely ruthless attack.
Boom—!
The fist didn't hit Ravel but struck an invisible wall of air beside her?
No, the air wall shimred and revealed Kuroka's figure.
It seed Kuroka had been trying to stealthily snatch the bottle from Ravel but was discovered by Rias, who attacked fiercely, violently shattering Kuroka's defensive barrier and breaking one of her arms.
Of course, Kuroka hadn't expected Rias to go all out, so her defensive barrier wasn't at its strongest, leaving her arm bloodied.
"Really now, going for the kill like that? What could it be? It just makes even more curious, ow~"
As she said this, Kuroka's eyes glead with a strange, eerie light.
What secret was hidden in the bottle that made Rias react like this?
The others were also growing curious.
As for the one who caused this scene, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him and simply watched the drama unfold, earning a glare from Akeno, who had just returned.
"Ara, can you tell quietly? What exactly is the secret hidden inside? What is it made of? Renji-sensei~"
Akeno whispered seductively into his ear.
"Well, if Rias and Ravel agree to talk about it, I'll tell you. Of course, you'll find out sooner or later anyway~"
What he had given to Rias and Ravel was sothing Renji had collected from the cracks adjacent to the Abyss Hole.
The next ti they ventured into the Abyss Hole, it could be used to make entering the abyss a bit easier.
Moreover, last night, he had only used the Holy Sword to explore the Crimson Abyss, releasing five scorching impacts into its depths. He hadn't explored the cracks along its edges but had stimulated them, causing seven intense tremors.
As for the Golden Abyss, he had rely touched it with his finger and stimulated the cracks nearby, resulting in six intense tremors from the fissures.
