It is usually only open to the boss's VIPs.
When you open the door with the key, you can smell a perfume scent.
"It's a really nice place."
Mai Sakurajima looked around.
The villa is made of wood, but it is very well waterproofed and has not been affected by the damp sea breeze. It is clean and tidy everywhere.
Tacheng Cat ran to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
"Everything."
The refrigerator was filled with fruit, cakes, drinks, and alcohol, leaving no extra space.
Himejima Akeno looked up at the second floor after closing the door.
"Everyone can choose their own room, as there is room for eight people."
Upon hearing this, Mai led Asia upstairs, with Toujou Koneko following closely behind.
After everyone had chosen their rooms and made some simple adjustments,
"Should we finish lunch first and then make plans, or should we investigate first? I personally prefer the latter."
Rias started the meeting in the living room.
Baili nodded as well.
“Enjoying food after work only makes it taste even better, and I agree with Ms. Rias’s idea.”
Himejima Akeno and the cat naturally agreed to their owner's plan.
Mai looked at the map
"I have no objection, but how exactly should it be done?"
Should we all conduct a thorough search together?
Asia said with a puzzled expression.
Rias smiled gently.
"I hope everyone can team up, preferably in staggered groups, for example... Sakurajima and Koneko, Asia and Akeno."
"Yes, that's not bad either."
Zhu Nai also smiled and looked at Asia.
Mai Sakurajima, knowing this was a way to build rapport, looked at Hyakuri.
"That Lord Baili..."
“Wang Ke won’t be running around; he’ll be staying at headquarters.”
"I think if it were Baili Jun, he could definitely finish it in an instant."
"That way you won't get any training."
"That's true..."
Mai Sakurajima understood what Baili meant by his answer.
If they are all instantly killed by Baili, they will lose the opportunity to fight the enemy and become stronger.
Thus, the team assignments were finalized.
Mai Sakurajima and Koneko Toujou are in charge of investigating the western side of the undeveloped area for the resort development.
Asia X Himejima Akeno, the two are in charge of investigating the eastern side of the demolition area of the Weiyin Lingba (5) (6).
After hearing the arrangements, the teenagers immediately got to work without any hesitation.
After reminding everyone to be careful and watching the four leave, Baili returned to the living room where they had been talking with Rias.
Only the king and the king remained on the scene.
Rias then raised a question that was of great concern to her.
“Bai Li Jun, that healer in your team… Asia, there must be a special reason why she was targeted by the fallen angel and the eccentric priest, right?”
"That's true. Her power can provide treatment and relief to anyone, regardless of who they are."
"She was originally a nun, yet she doesn't discriminate between partners..."
"Yes, that's why she said it in the group chat, that it's because of this ability that the church sees her as a traitor and a nun who is disloyal to God."
"Then Baili Jun reached out to her and changed her life."
After saying that, Rias left the seat where she was sitting opposite Baili and sat down next to him.
"Miss Rias?"
"I feel that this way we can communicate more clearly."
"It's not much different from before, but I don't mind."
Even closer would be fine.
Thinking of this, Rias spoke again.
"I have some questions I'd like to discuss."
"Please say."
"Marriages between high-ranking demons are common, especially among nobles."
Rias sighed.
"And I... have a marriage contract I hate the most."
Chapter 40: The Battle Against the Rogue Demon! Ready to begin!
On the western side of the area of the resort that has not yet been demolished or developed, Mai Sakurajima and Koneko Toujou are investigating together.
The area is characterized by typical villages, with most buildings ranging from one to three stories.
Because the residents had long since moved out, the roadsides were overgrown with weeds.
Some of the walls were also eroded by wind and rain, becoming dilapidated;
The yard, surrounded by a steel fence, was the same, filled with the smell of rust and mud.
From time to time, rustling sounds could be heard from the corner.
The moment the two girls looked over, birds and wild cats emerged from the corner and eventually disappeared from their sight.
Sakurajima Mai, who was carefully observing her surroundings, glanced at the petite girl beside her out of the corner of her eye.
Tacheng Kitten...
He is a demon.
So what kind of power does she possess?
Mai Sakurajima was curious, but she still asked another question.
"Tower City, what exactly is this 'lost demon' that we mentioned in the chat group before? A traitor to the demon realm?"
"To put it simply, he can indeed be seen as a traitor."
Tacheng Cat nodded.
But she quickly provided a relatively detailed explanation.
A deserter demon is a demon whose servants betray or kill their master, thus becoming a masterless demon.
Such events are rare, but they have always existed.
Once they are discovered, their original owners, or other demons, will be killed.
These are the rules of the demons, thus ensuring the stability of the demon realm.
Moreover, it's not just them; other forces also view rogue demons as dangerous factors, so whether they are angels or fallen angels, they will kill them if they find them.
"Some demons choose to betray, and some demons pursue power, so they will do some extreme things, such as using humans as sacrifices."
"That is indeed quite dangerous, but I didn't know any of this before I met Baili-kun. I had only encountered evil spirits that drifted in the streets."
How did you meet Baili?
"You could see it as an accident... At the time, I was in trouble and gradually being forgotten by others, as if I didn't exist."
does not exist?
Tacheng Cat didn't quite understand this statement.
"In short, I just happened to meet Baili Jun, and he changed my life and gave me a very special power."
"Giving power... It feels a lot like Rias-sama. After being transformed into a demon by her, one's strength is increased."
"The Devil Piece that Miss Rias mentioned before?"
"Yes."
After Tacheng Xiaomao finished speaking, she suddenly looked to her right.
Mai Sakurajima noticed this and looked over there.
There was only one house there.
It looks very dilapidated.
The walls collapsed and the gate was destroyed.
It is likely that after the original residents moved out, this area became a frequent target for thieves.
"Tacheng classmate...?"
“There’s a scent there.”
"is it?"
Is this considered the devil's keenness?
In any case, Mai Sakurajima didn't sense anything unusual.
"Be careful."
