Chapter 267 - 264 ~ Final Resort
Aika lay sprawled across her plush bed, her golden-brown hair spilling ssily over her pillows like silk threads in the morning light.
The soft hum of her phone filled the room as she lazily kicked her legs in the air, the tips of her toes brushing against the faint breeze from the ceiling fan. She wore a loose, barely-there tank top that clung lightly to her curves and a pair of snug hot pants that did little to hide the supple softness of her thighs and hips. Her outfit, casual and teasing, suited her perfectly—carefree, alluring, and utterly relaxed.
Her phone screen glowed softly with the familiar interface of the custom chat app—one that Yuuji himself had created specifically for his lovers who weren't part of the multiverse group chat. An app crafted just for them to keep their bond alive no matter the distance.
She tapped into the group chat titled "Yuuji's Wives Club"—a cheeky na she had suggested herself. The mbers had grown steadily over ti. Mira, with her calm and mature elegance; Yuna, the ever-cheerful optimist; Nina, sharp-witted and calm; Saegusa Mayumi, as the seemingly mature yet actually innocent young noble lady; Karen, honest and striking; and of course, Shalltear, whose intense devotion to Yuuji was matched only by her gothic flamboyance. Tsubakihara Aika had only joined a few days ago, but already felt completely at ho among them.
Their chat history was filled with a charming mix of daily life updates, affectionate teasing, and, unsurprisingly, Yuuji-centered discussions. Pictures of him—often candid, sotis stolen—flooded the feed. Mira, always discreet, often shared his daily-life picture, while Aika's contributions leaned toward spontaneous snapshots: Yuuji in mid-yawn, shirtless in the kitchen, or giving his usual deadpan expression when caught off-guard that she took during their missions together.
This gave the girls, who weren't with him during the missions in other worlds, a glimpse of his appearance and his activities.
The chat was more than just idle fun—it was a sisterhood. A gathering of hearts that, though scattered across different worlds and circumstances, were united by one constant: their love for the sa man.
Aika smiled as she read the latest string of ssages—Mira being excited and giddy from the fact that her turn to have Yuuji inside her was imminent now that Aika had done it with him.
Aika was similarly excited, while Albedo showed her support and encouragent. Shalltear expressed her envy and wonder when she could co visit her again, C.C, Karen, and Erika shared but didn't express it explicitly.
Mayumi, being the only one who never done it with Yuuji, was the only one flustered and expressed her shyness to the topic, which was t with encouragent for her to woman up and have her turn.
Reading the texts, Aika giggled, her cheeks warm, her heart light.
She was part of sothing precious now. Sothing warm, chaotic, and beautiful. And it all centered around him.
"Hm?"
Just then, she noticed a burst of magic power. It was small, but clear, and it ca from the direction of her school, specifically the old school building where the Occult Research Club room was.
It was the second ti it had happened today.
The magic didn't feel like it belonged to Rias, Sona, or their peerage. And it was smaller than the previous one.
Aika began to recall the series of events from the ani and try to match the tiline there to her own world... And she had a guess.
"The first one must be Grayfia. And the second must be the fried chicken, huh?"
She was relieved that she had returned ho and was no longer in school right now.
Because, if she were and she sohow t the fried chicken who'd definitely acted inappropriately to her, she'd have to deal with the aftermath of killing the chicken.
That Sirzechs, crafty as he was, might use the Phoenix's displeasure to have her take responsibility and pull her to their side, which she wasn't quite keen on doing.
'Well, if it really ca to that, I guess I can just have C.C help
revive him.'
It might not cut her ties with the Devils completely, but she'd be able to get away more easily.
Either way, she was glad that she didn't have to deal with such troubleso matters. Though, now that the phoenix fried chicken had appeared, Rias might ask for her help again tomorrow.
'Hm... I'm not that good at teaching. But maybe I can just lend her so magic items?
She was now in possession of a myriad of magic items that she got from her mission in Suzuki's and Albedo's world. From low-level common magic items that were mostly trinkets, to high-level Divine class items that would be equivalent or surpassing a Longinus Sacred Gear in this world.
Moreover, most of her equipnt was suitable for magic casters, which could help Rias, Akeno, and even Asia trendously, while the rest could be used by Koneko, Kiba, or Issei.
'Well, let's just see tomorrow.'
She shrugged and returned to her conversation with her sisters.
The next day.
Right after the final bell rang, signalling the end of the school day and start of the weekend, Akeno appeared right in front of Aika's classroom as she had expected.
The jet-black haired "Yamato Nadeshiko" beauty stood before Aika, her gentle, ever-present smile that normally exuded elegance, confidence, and allure, now reflected a helplessness and concern Aika could guess the reason for.
"Good afternoon, Aika-san."
"Good afternoon, Akeno-senpai."
The two beauties shared a stare for a mont. Akeno could already see it, in Aika's eyes, that she was already aware of the circumstances and her reason for being here.
But, Akeno asked regardless.
"Can you co with
to the club room, Aika-san? There's sothing Rias would like to ask you."
Unlike the first ti she had asked this, it was a heartfelt request now. Aika could sense it from the tone of her voice.
And while she may not want to be involved with the troubleso politics and problems of the Underworld, she could not simply ignore the plight of her future sisters.
"Sure, lead the way, senpai~" She agreed readily, surprising Akeno for a mont, before she turned and imdiately led her to the Occult Research Clubroom, afraid Aika would change her mind.
Asia and Issei, who were also in the sa class as Aika and had been told to co by the president previously, also followed suit.
Soon, they arrived in front of the club room and Akeno knocked on it.
"Pres, Aika-san is here~"
"Co in." A familiar dignified voice resounded from within, and Akeno pushed open the massive twin mahogany doors without much effort, revealing to Aika the rest of the mbers of Rias's peerage within the room; Kiba and Koneko.
Rias stood up from her desk and greeted her with a warm smile.
"Welco, Aika-san. Thank you for coming here on such short notice."
"It's fine, Rias-senpai~ In fact, I've actually expected the invitation to co~"
Rias was surprised, but her shock appeared as quickly as it appeared and was replaced by an understanding.
"I see. Regardless, thank you." Rias gestured to one side of the couch, the opposite of the ones Kiba and Koneko were sitting on, "Please, have a seat."
Aika nodded and took her seat.
"You two, make yourselves comfortable as well." Rias addressed Issei and Asia, who quickly entered as well. Asia took her seat beside Koneko, filling the spot on the couch, while Issei stood behind her.
"Here you go." With practiced grace, Akeno placed a steaming up of tea before Aika.
"Thank you, Akeno-senpai."
She took a sip with the elegance and grace even Rias didn't have as a true heiress of a high-ranking devil nobility, gaining Asia's admiration and Issei's daze.
"So, what do you wish to talk about with , Rias-senpai~?"
Rias stayed silent for a mont, rehearsing once again how she had intended on wording her request.
But facing Aika now and having thought over it again, Rias decided to just be truthful and honest.
She explained the circumstances of her political marriage, her partner's revolting character, her brother's helplessness in this case, and her request.
"Please. I understand that I have asked this of you once, but I must ask once again... Will you please help us? I promise that I won't let you be entangled by our politics. I will also urge my brother, the "Satan Lucifer
