Azazel's figure suddenly arrived on the field, interrupting Rias's work, who was preparing for the upcoming open class. "Is it you!? I wonder what Lord Azazel is here for?" Rias was shocked when she saw this, her body tensed up, her heart filled with vigilance, she folded her wings and put her hands in the sleeves of her yukata. , Azazel, who looked like a Northeastern old man from the old days, asked in a deep voice. The same goes for Himejima Akeno on the side. She looked at the person with a complicated relationship with her with a solemn expression and said nothing. The same goes for Koneko Tashiro and Yuuto Kiba, as well as Issei Hyoudou who is completely confused about the current situation. "Well, you don't have to be so wary of me. If I really want to take action, no matter how careful you are, you will still be the same." Azazel glanced at Rias and others calmly, and chuckled. Although what he said was indeed the truth, Rias still did not relax at all, staring at him with all her attention, as if even so, I will give it a try. "Forget it, let's get down to business." Azazel, who had seen this scene in his eyes, shook his head slightly and sighed. "Can you contact Zhou Chao? Tell him that I want to see him." "Zhou Chao?" Rias frowned when she heard this, feeling a little headache, why did something involve Zhou Chao again. To know. There is still no explanation about the Holy Sword. This brings up a new problem. Couldn't that guy just calm down a little bit? After a pause, Rias said in a helpless tone, "I may be disappointed with Lord Azazel. Since last night, my contact with the Zhou Dynasty has been interrupted, so I can't contact him. "Really? Forget it. But if he comes to see you again, please ask Miss Rias to convey it to you." Azazel frowned when he learned that Rias had also lost contact with the Zhou Dynasty. He frowned and said instead. "If there is a chance." Rias agreed without refusing. Then Azazel turned his eyes slightly. He cast his gaze on Himejima Akeno, and after looking at it for a moment, he spread his wings and said, "Then I won't disturb you." Then he suddenly fluttered his wings and flew up into the sky, and in the blink of an eye he was gone. Rias and others disappeared from sight. "What does this guy Zhou Chao want to do? Does he really want to provoke a three-party war?" Rias, who watched Azazel leave, withdrew her gaze, frowned, and muttered with an expression full of distress. But for this question, no one present had an answer. She could only wait quietly for Rias to come up with the answer on her own. Fortunately, Rias did not hesitate for too long, she quickly came to her senses and devoted herself to practicing again. "Okay. Let's continue." "Yes!" At night, in the office of the old school building. With a sudden white light exploding, Zhou Chao's figure suddenly emerged from it, completing the task he had just assigned. After sending all the family members to carry out the contract work, Rias, who was left alone in the office to look at the moon and meditate, woke up. "It's you! You actually dare to appear in front of me! Do you really think I don't dare to do anything to you!?" Rias said with uncontrollable anger on her face when she saw Zhou Chao. "Why don't you dare?" Zhou Chao said with a nervous smile without daring at all, "I know you, Rias, are not that kind of person." "Humph. That's not necessarily true." Rias snorted ungratefully. After a pause, he looked at the family members again, and very unconsciously walked to one of the two sofas in the center of the office and sat down. Zhou Chao asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?" "I said no. I have a place to live, and I want to stay here for a few days. Do you believe it?" Zhou Chao spread his hands and asked Rias, who was staring at him with her arms crossed. "What do you think?" Rias sneered. "But that's the truth." Zhou Chao said helplessly, as if no one would believe him if he told the truth. "Since you don't want to talk, let me ask instead." Rias was unmoved, put down her arms, walked to another sofa opposite the sofa where Zhou Chao was sitting, and sat down, crossing her legs and crossing her legs. , looked directly at Zhou Chao with calm eyes without any emotion, and asked, "Why do you want to snatch the Holy Sword?"??And send the person to me afterwards. " "The reason is simple, because you are safe here and your character is trustworthy. I can imagine that the two Holy Swordsmen were unprepared and got slapped by the fallen angel who happened to find them afterwards, and then they themselves were inexplicably blamed. " Zhou Chao explained with a smile on his face. "Then what's the reason for snatching the holy sword? " Rias nodded after listening to Zhou Chao's explanation, and then asked the core question. It doesn't matter what the person is, the holy sword is the key! Because this will determine Zhou Chao's stance and her attitude towards him. "I Fancy it. " Zhou Chao said simply and domineeringly. Without even realizing it, when Rias was stunned and speechless for his reason for snatching the holy sword, she continued to make relatively rogue remarks. "Also, I heard that you devils You also have a new holy sword in your hand made from the fragments of the king's holy sword, right? If possible, how about leaving him to me? I can exchange it for the contract you and Sona signed with me. " "I have never seen such a shameless person like you. " Rias was silent for a while, and said in a long voice with a face that was either sighing or contemptuous. In response to this, Zhou Chao smiled softly and ignored it. Then, Rias regained her composure and asked again, "In other words, , wasn¡¯t it because of the fallen angel¡¯s actions that you snatched the Holy Sword? Then, why would Azazel want to see you? " "Azazel wants to see me? when? "This time it was Zhou Chao's turn to be a little surprised. But it was just a surprise, because he immediately thought of the reason why Azazel wanted to find him, which was nothing more than the issue of Vali, the White Dragon Emperor and Kokbol. , or he came to fulfill his previous bet. ¡°Just today during the day, he came to the school specially and wanted to contact you through me. " Rias explained. "That's it" Zhou Chao suddenly realized. "Zhou Chao, I want to know. What exactly do you want to do? "At this time, Rias, who saw that Zhou Chao really had no intention of colluding with the fallen angels, put down her folded legs, sat up straight, leaned her upper body slightly forward, and looked directly at Zhou Chao with strong pressure, her face solemn. Shen asked. ¡°What are you worried about? "Zhou Chao leaned back, his back pressed against the back of the sofa, his legs crossed into two long legs, his arms crossed across his chest, and he looked back at Rias leisurely and asked. "First, through the current situation. In front of me, he came to deprive Issei of the Divine Killing Gear and the Sekiryuutei's caged hand to provoke me. Then I used force to force Sona and I to sign the contract. Then he attacked the fallen angels, even attracting Azazel, and finally he attacked the holy swordsmen sent by the church to perform the mission here, and forcibly snatched their holy swords You have to doubt your behavior due to all your actions. Purpose. Do you want to provoke a dispute between the three tribes and trigger another war between the three tribes? " Rias's eyes glowed red and she asked loudly with sharp eyes. "Well after hearing you explain it in detail, my behavior really means something like that. "Zhou Chao tilted his head and nodded seriously. Then he suddenly smiled. He continued as if he had heard a funny joke. "First of all, as for the provocation you think, I can only say that it happened at the right time. I took a step slower. Let Hyoudou Issei become your vassal first, otherwise this point will not be true at all. But that¡¯s what happened, and I won¡¯t deny it. But then I used force to force you to sign a contract with Sona If you hadn't come to trouble me, would this have been the consequence? At the very beginning. Did I threaten the lives of Hyoudou Issei, Kiba Yuto, and Koneko when you sign the contract? No? " Rias was silent. If you think according to what Zhou Chao said, that's really what happened. But Rias would never agree! " Let's talk about fallen angels next. It was indeed me who took the lead in this matter. There is nothing to deny this, but I didn't expect to bring out that guy Azazel, otherwise this matter would really be just a trivial matter, and it wouldn't be worthy of your attention at all, right? After all, for you demons, a dead fallen angel is a good fallen angel. " Rias continued to be silent. Because what Zhou Chao said was the truth. Even if it were a different demon here, he might be happy for a while after knowing what happened to the fallen angel, instead of worrying about what trouble it would cause like her. "Finally Let¡¯s talk about the Holy Sword. "And when this topic was brought up, the expression on his face that had been restrained because of the fallen angel incident all disappeared, leaving only a serious expression, "Rias, you only saw me snatching the holy sword, then you know that the fallen angel Why did the angels snatch the Holy Sword? Who caused the incident of snatching the Holy Sword? Why did they want to snatch the Holy Sword? " "You know? " Rias frowned and asked. She really didn't know the three questions raised by Zhou Chao. "I do know. " Zhou Chao nodded and affirmed. "Why? ¡±???Yasi asked. "For what you are worried about I will do." Zhou Chao chuckled. "What!?" Rias's expression changed slightly, and she stared at Zhou Chao with wide eyes, trying to see from his face whether he seemed to be joking. It¡¯s just that the result is destined to disappoint Rias. Then I heard Zhou Chao continue to say, "As you know from the Holy Sword Master of the Church, three of the Holy Swords kept by the Church were snatched away by the 'Son of God Monitor', but this order was not issued by It was not Azazel's intention, but the wish of the top cadre Kokbol, who even executed it himself. The purpose was to use the holy sword to kill the devil and then provoke conflicts between the church, heaven and the underworld. " "At the same time, he is also preparing to personally attack Kuoh Academy, or you and Sona who are students in Kuoh Academy, and threaten your brother Sirzechs Lucifer and Sona's sister Sera. Ful Leviathan came to fight him, thus truly triggering a war between the three races in the heaven, fallen angels and underworld. "Are you telling the truth?" Rias clenched her hands after listening to Zhou Chao's story. Cheng Quan said in a deep voice with an ugly expression. As for how much of this was the anger caused by being targeted by the academy he attended or the territory of Kuou Academy, and how much was the anger of being targeted by others for plotting against his brother and the underworld. "Do I need to lie to you?" Zhou Chao asked, spreading his hands. "What's more, why did you think Azazel sneaked into this town quietly? Do you really think it was to investigate the reasons for the successive deaths of fallen angels? Are you kidding me? ! Fallen angels die every day due to small-scale conflicts between heaven, fallen angels, and demons. Is this a small problem really worth investigating personally by the governor of the Son of God? Tired him to death? " "What's more, one look at his appearance shows that he is a relatively lazy person. How could he go all the way for something big? " "The reason why he does it? The real reason for sneaking into this town was that he discovered Kokbol's actions and planned to deal with Kokbol himself before things got out of hand. Do you understand now? " "" Liya? Silently, the magic power full of destruction in his body began to fluctuate. Fortunately, it didn't last long, and he recovered quickly, and said in a low voice, "Then what does this have to do with you snatching the holy sword?" "Yes, yes, yes, no, no." Zhou Chao said calmly. "I say yes, because I found out this information after preparing to snatch the Holy Sword. I say no, because the reason why I snatched the Holy Sword is just like what I said just now, 'I took a fancy to it', not because I wanted to. What are you going to do with the holy sword, or even start a war between the three races, so it is completely unnecessary for you to put this kind of worry on me. " "I hope what you said is true." Rias raised her head and looked at her. After looking deeply at Zhou Chao for a while, he said solemnly. Then, without waiting for Zhou Chao's answer, he stood up from the sofa, walked to the open space aside, unfolded the magic circle at his feet, and said, "This matter is of great importance. I need to report to the Demon King immediately, so I won't entertain you." ." Zhou Chao signaled that it was casual, and Rias activated the magic circle and disappeared from the office in the old school building in a flash of light. "It's a pity that Akeno is not here, otherwise I could enjoy her electric S-level massage service again" Looking at the empty office, Zhou Chao whispered to himself with some regret. Then without stopping, he quietly disappeared into the air. The next moment, Zhou Chao entered the world for the first time. Inside the rented apartment, Zhou Chao's figure appeared. He glanced around the dusty room, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the whole room immediately became transformed in a sudden small whirlwind. Then he walked to the sofa and sat down. With a thought, he sat down in front of the sofa. A palm-sized magic circle was created in front of him. "I'm back." (To be continued.)
