She then added as she turned back to several papers on her desk, "Unless you can get Koneko to switch places with you, you're going."
Naruto turned towards Koneko hopefully, but Koneko cut him off when he opened his mouth to announce emotionlessly, "Don't wanna."
Groaning, Naruto threw up his hands and declared, "Fine. I'll go, but I'm not happy about it." He then moved to stand by where Yuuto and Akeno stood. He then crossed his arms while pouting.
"Your opinion is noted, but ignored. Now go exterminate that devil," Rias ordered with an amused grin.
Naruto just stuck his tongue out at her as Akeno summoned the teleportation circle. The trio quickly found themselves in a forest, a mansion in view.
Naruto pulled back his tongue since there was no redhead that had sent him on an annoying task here.
"Viser is in there," Akeno told them as they started moving forward. Since Rias wasn't here, she was sort of the leader.
The three started moving through the forest towards the mansion.
Still not very happy about being forced to come, Naruto tried to be optimistic by commenting, "Maybe i jumped to conclusions. This Viser did kill her king.
The other one just ran away. That has to mean she's at a higher level, right?"
"Not necessarily," Akeno quickly pointed out before explaining, "I saw her picture from the report Buchou received.
Viser is quite beautiful. It is probable that she was reincarnated for the sole purpose of acting as a concubine for her master.
Such practices are common among members of the pillar families. So she would have had plenty of opportunities to poison him or to kill him while he was sleeping.
The archduke didn't inform us of any special skills or talents she had that would indicate she is anything more than a devil who got tired of her role as a concubine."
Seeing Naruto's head drop in depression from her words, Yuuto pitched in, "Don't make any snap judgement. She could have killed her master in battle."
"Even if that is true, it likely wouldn't make much difference. Not all high class devils are strong. Buchou is considered a genius at using her demonic power.
It's not always a matter of power that determines who can form a peerage. Sometimes it is determined by birth. There are many high-class devils who never leave their family home or train.
They just rely on their peerage to protect them. Viser could have been the servant of just another arrogant noble with no discernible power of their own.
So it wouldn't be too impressive an accomplishment if she did kill her master in combat."
With his hope of facing a decent opponent once again crushed, Naruto sent a baleful glare at Akeno before asking, "You just love stomping on my hopes, don't you?"
Akeno put her hand in front of her mouth as she replied gleefully, "Ufufufu, you just make the cutest faces when disappointing. I can't resist."
That caused Naruto to pout and turn his head away from her childishly. His exaggerated anger at her quickly dissipated as the trio walked into the entrance hall of the mansion though.
Looking around, Naruto announced neutrally, "I recognize this place. My Realtor showed me it. The previous owner died four years ago with no kids.
There aren't a whole lot of people wealthy enough to buy a place like this in town, so it's stayed on the market."
"Something tells me this isn't going to help its sell value," Yuuto remarked as he eyed the broken windows and disorganized paintings on the walls.
"Yeah, I doubt that as well," Naruto deadpanned.
"Quiet, you two. We are now in Viser's home-turf. This will probably be easy, but we should stay alert. Arrogance has killed many powerful individuals," Akeno warned.
It was unnecessary advice since Yuuto and Naruto were both being careful, but the point still got across.
No needless talking or joking till Viser is dead. So they both straightened a bit more as they made there was through the entrance hall.
Akeno opened the next door and it immediately became clear Viser was there. The scent of blood was heavy in the air.
Naruto scanned the large room that was filled with multiple pillars. The scattered remains of mauled humans were spread throughout the room. Yeah, Viser definitely had to die. This was a lair for a wild animal. Not a person.
"I smell something foul, but also something delicious. Are you sweet? Or are you bitter? I need to find out," a haunting female voice called out.
A figure then appeared on the far side of the room. It allowed the group to see the stray devil's torso. She was rather attractive woman with long black hair.
She was also rather voluptuous, something that was practically impossible to ignore since she wasn't wearing a stitch of clothes to cover herself. So her breasts were on clear display.
No response came from there group for several seconds. Naruto finally scratched his head as he told the stray in front of them, "Sorry, but our king isn't here.
She's usually the one to do the whole, pre-fight banter thing. Can we just skip straight to the part where we kick your ass? We have things to do."
Viser clearly wasn't pleased with his words as she immediately snapped out, "Such impudent brats. I'll dye the walls with your blood."
She then grabbed her breasts and seemingly started groping herself. The group just stared at her with raised eyebrows before they all saw the magical circles forming over her nipples.
The three all easily dodged when yellow blasts were fired from her nipples. Considering the walls where they hit melted, it's probably a good thing they did.
Naruto quickly muttered to himself, "Geez, if you wanted to banter I could have done it. No need to shoot your stupidly sexual attack at us."
"Naruto-kun, not exactly the best time," Yuuto commented.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's just get this over with. I feel like taking a nap in the clubroom," Naruto replied flippantly, not at all nervous about their current situation.
