......
When he arrived at the rooftop, Tacheng Cat was quietly staring at Heige.
Her parents died when she was young, so her memories of them are quite vague.
For her, Kuroka is both an older sister and a parent figure.
Even though he is usually willful and likes to play pranks, he always gets into trouble.
Whenever she felt scared or lonely, her sister would appear before her and gently hug her.
Until that nightmare occurred, the other party revealed the terrifying side of the cat demon, which made her live in constant fear.
It wasn't until Yalin told the truth that Tacheng Cat gradually felt relieved.
My sister is back, and she seems the same as before.
What should I do next?
Do you want to live with your sister?
However, her older sister is an SS-class rogue demon and is still wanted by the authorities, living a life of being hunted down.
If discovered by other demons or other forces, not only will Toujou Koneko's own situation deteriorate, but it will also affect Rias.
She could disregard her own situation, but she didn't want Rias to be affected, as Rias was also her family.
When she was troubled, she saw Yalin and her eyes suddenly lit up.
What's troubling you?
Yalin poured himself and the girl a cup of tea and casually asked.
The cat has already been caught, what other questions are there?
"Sister... could you please take care of me? I'll accept whatever reward Yalin asks for."
The girl's golden eyes were full of anticipation.
If Black Song can obtain the protection of the Crimson Dragon Emperor, even demons will be unable to interfere.
She naturally placed great trust in Yalin.
During this period, Yalin often called her over at night to pet the cat and play games together, and the two had a very harmonious relationship.
Upon hearing this, Yalin glanced at Heige. This was also a rare cat; it might be worth keeping.
However, the cat's personality is a bit troublesome; it's a lazy, greedy, and naughty cat. If we really take it in, it might become too lively.
"Okay, but we'll hold off on the payment for now."
After thinking for a moment, Yalin agreed.
Anyway, it'll be Lina, the maid, who'll be the one causing trouble; he can just focus on petting the cat.
"Thank you."
Tacheng Cat smiled upon hearing this, knowing that this way, her sister could always be by her side.
She approached Yalin, lowered her head and let him stroke her, even revealing her cat ears.
This action made Yalin's eyes light up slightly.
Black and white cats, that's double the joy!
......
Early in the morning, two Holy Swordsmen from the church came to visit.
Knowing the two men's intentions beforehand, Yalin made his request without hesitation.
“I can help you deal with Kokobor. However, in return, the Destruction Holy Sword and the Mimicry Holy Sword need to be handed over to me for some time to study.”
Upon hearing this, Irina and Xenovia's expressions changed, as if they had walked right into a trap.
The two tried to refuse, but the moment they opened their mouths, they felt an immense pressure surrounding them, making it difficult for them to even move. No matter how much they struggled, their bodies wouldn't obey them.
Intimidation, this is blatant intimidation!
This Crimson Dragon Emperor is even more domineering and excessive than rumored.
Genovia forced a smile and said in a strained tone, "In that case, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
Although one could refuse and fight Yalin to the death to defend their dignity, completing the mission is the most important thing.
Compared to that, the current setbacks are nothing.
As for the Holy Sword, it's uncertain whether it will even exist after this battle. Satisfying the Crimson Dragon Emperor's curiosity wouldn't be a bad thing.
Although Irina found it hard to accept that her companion had agreed so easily, she still acquiesced.
There is no way, the situation is stronger than the person.
It would be too shameful to be lost before the enemy even sees us.
Even if the church found out, they wouldn't praise her for her bravery and resilience; instead, they would consider her a complete fool.
Of course, neither of them knew that the missing holy sword had been obtained by Yalin, otherwise they would have fought him on the spot.
Seeing this, Yalin smiled with satisfaction. Who said that people in the church are all rigid-minded? Isn't this quite reasonable?
"Mr. Yalin, breakfast is ready."
At this moment, Asia came into the living room and cheerfully informed Yalin.
"The Witch Asia Argento?"
Xenovia focused her gaze on Asia, a hint of doubt in her voice.
Upon hearing this address, Asia's body trembled involuntarily, clearly indicating that she was in great discomfort.
After all, the difference between a saint and a witch is that she can heal demons and fallen angels.
"So you were once a saintess of the church. I heard you were banished for committing sins and your whereabouts are unknown. So you've joined the Crimson Dragon Emperor?" Irina said in surprise.
"...Um...me!"
Asia was at a loss until Yalin's indifferent voice rang out: "Are the people of the church so rude?"
As the words fell, the two Holy Sword Wielders once again felt the omnipresent pressure and became drenched in sweat.
Upon seeing the heretics who had apostasy, he became somewhat carried away.
“If you can’t get Asia to completely let go of her grudges, then you can forget about carrying out the mission and you’ll all stay here.”
Yalin's tone wasn't strong, but it made the two of them feel numb.
No, it's one thing for the Holy Sword to be temporarily detained, but now the people involved also have to stay behind.
This is too bad luck.
When Rias arrived, she found the two girls embracing Asia and offering a dry apology.
"Are they church members?"
Rias recognized them at a glance.
The devil and the church are inherently at odds, and they have countless grudges against each other, so it is impossible for them to admit their mistakes.
"Yes."
Yalin briefly explained the situation, and then left the decision to her.
"Kokbor is nothing to me, and they pose no threat to this town. You can decide for yourself what they're proposing."
That's really understated; he's a fallen angel cadre, after all.
Rias smiled helplessly, but she knew that what Yarin said was true.
However, since Lord Yalin intends to unite all forces to fight against the other world in the future, cooperating with the church at present can be considered a good start.
With that in mind, she agreed to Genovya's suggestion.
......
Outside Kohwang Town, Kokbor frowned as he looked at the town, still struggling to find a plausible way to frame someone.
Even though he craved war, he didn't think Serjax Lucifer was a fool.
Or we could directly invite the Crimson Dragon Emperor to join us in starting a war.
For the Crimson Dragon Emperor, who follows the principles of hegemony, battle is indispensable.
As he was thinking this, he was completely unaware that a figure had appeared behind him.
"They're quite good at hiding, but that's all they can do now."
The unfamiliar voice made Kokober turn around instantly, looking at the newcomer warily, then somewhat taken aback.
"Red Dragon Emperor, how did you discover me?"
Having learned from Azazel's experience, he deliberately came to the wilderness, which was quite a distance from Kuoh-no-Town, and did not set foot there.
This was to avoid being discovered.
It seems we can only delay for a while now?
"These are your last words?"
Yalin stared at the fallen angel cadre, his tone full of amusement.
He wondered if this warmonger had been at peace for too long and had lost his mind.
Even setting aside the present, Kirkbor's actions were bizarre in his original destiny.
Given his actions, even if he successfully instigates a war, he will be the first to die as the culprit, and no force will let him go.
Even so, they still go to great lengths to court death.
This obsession is truly astounding.
"Are you looking down on me?"
Kokober's face immediately darkened. Even if he didn't want to confront Yalin directly, the other party had come to his doorstep and was so arrogant, so what else was there to say?
It's true that Azazel lost, but he's not someone to be trifled with.
Five pairs of ominous black wings unfurled, allowing him to stand in the air, his aura surging forth. Countless spears of light were condensed by him and shot towards Yalin simultaneously.
