In the reception room.

While waiting for Sona Sitri, Chiba Akira was practicing using his artifact.

He extended his left hand forward.

The red gauntlet of the Red Dragon Emperor appeared.

[Boost!]

The green gemstone emitted a radiant glow.

As the green gemstone flickered with light, Chiba Akira's power was doubled.

"Not enough."

Chiba Akira maintained the use of the artifact.

Ten seconds later.

[Boost!]

The Red Dragon Emperor's gemstone glowed again, and Chiba Akira was once more

strengthened.

"Still not enough."

Chiba Akira wanted to find his limits.

"Just becoming a reincarnated demon, Issei Hyoudou was able to defeat a mid-level

fallen angel with the help of an artifact and his passion."

"The dragon shot he used, enhanced by the Red Dragon Emperor, had power

comparable to that of a high-ranking demon."

"If a newly reincarnated low-level demon can do it, there's no reason I, who has

already reached the limits of a low-level demon, can't do it."

[Boost!]

[Boost!]

[Boost!]

[Boost!]

.....

After continuously doubling his strength several times, Chiba Akira finally reached his

limit.

"Phew!~"

Letting out a long breath, he closed his eyes and tried to adapt to this state.

Because before developing "forbidden hands," this should be the ability he used most

frequently.

....

A few minutes later, Chiba Akira released the artifact.

The red gauntlet vanished instantly, and he lay weakly on the sofa.

[Chiba Akira, here's some energy-replenishing tea.]

Agumon brought a cup of tea to Chiba Akira.

She was happy that Chiba Akira could grow stronger.

This way, he could fight alongside her.

Moreover, if he became stronger, he wouldn't feel so pressured.

Having accompanied Chiba Akira for so long, Agumon understood how hard he

worked in other areas despite lacking talent in training.

Now that Chiba Akira's efforts were finally paying off, Agumon felt genuinely happy for

him.

....

"Thanks for this, Agumon."

Chiba Akira drank the hot tea in one go.

Steam rose behind him.

A few seconds later, the hot tea took effect; Chiba Akira's magic power, energy, and

mental strength were recovering at an incredible speed.

The special effect of this hot tea was thanks to being an "heir of Leviathan bloodline."

Ordinary low-level demons wouldn't have access to such high-quality items.

....

An hour later.

Chiba Akira had roughly recovered about sixty to seventy percent of his strength.

"Huang~"

The light of the teleportation array flickered.

On the magic circle, the crest of House Sitri displayed the identity of the visitors.

Sona Sitri—Chiba Akira's fiancée.

In the magic circle, two beautiful girls dressed in Kuoh Academy uniforms gradually

appeared.

As a high-ranking demon, Sona generally brought her queen Mikado Shuri to formal

occasions.

Seeing his fiancée again filled Chiba Akira with admiration.

He admitted that Sona was an undeniable beauty.

In the category of aloof beauties from literature departments, Sona undoubtedly

belonged to the top tier.

With fair and smooth skin and a noble yet cold demeanor, her rose-colored eyes were

gentle yet sharp behind her glasses.

Her slender waist and smooth white thighs were quite eye-catching.

Although she wasn't as voluptuous as Rias, she had that healthy and smooth look that

would definitely feel great wrapped around one's waist.

Not only Sona but also her queen Mikado Shuri exuded elegance.

Mikado Shuri shared similarities with Shuna Kijima, both possessing a strong Yamato

Nadeshiko aura.

The difference was that while Shuna was gentle as water, Mikado Shuri's gentleness

was deeply concealed.

.....

"Chiba Akira-kun, long time no see."

Sona adjusted her glasses and performed the greeting customary among high-ranking

demons.

She found it strange that Chiba Akira looked at her differently than before.

Previously, Chiba Akira looked at her with eyes reserved for opponents or superiors.

Now he was looking straight at her and even sizing her up.

She didn't like this feeling at all.

...

A few minutes later,

At an expensive mahogany table,

Chiba Akira sat across from Sona while Agumon and Mikado Shuri served them on the

side.

After drinking the tea served by Nao Hayasaka and completing their formal greeting as

high-ranking demons, Sona got straight to the point.

"Chiba Akira-kun, I believe Rias has already informed you about that matter?"

"That matter?" Chiba Akira raised an eyebrow.

"It's about me wanting to break off our engagement." Sona stated bluntly.

"...."

After a few seconds of silence, Chiba Akira slowly spoke up.

"So you're saying that you intentionally leaked the news about breaking off our

engagement to Rias?"

"Exactly; it was intentional." Sona nodded calmly.

"I know Rias's personality."

"If I break off our engagement, she will definitely use this most time-efficient method

to counteract her engagement with Leza."

"So I deduced that after knowing this news in advance, there would be more than an

eighty percent chance she would seek cooperation with you."

"Now it seems my deduction was completely correct."

....

"No wonder it's Sona; you accurately anticipated Rias's actions."

Chiba Akira took a sip of tea and praised her.

He understood why Sona visited him so quickly after Rias's news broke.

It turned out Sona had been observing his situation with Rias all along.

[Sona is indeed Sona; even breaking off an engagement requires strategy.]

[Before telling me this bad news about breaking off our engagement, she helped me

achieve something good first.]

[This way, I won't resist her breaking off our engagement too much.]

[How calculating~]

...

"I indeed know about breaking off our engagement."

"However, Sona isn't this too cunning?" Chiba Akira countered.

"Even if you hadn't leaked any information, Rias would still do this upon learning

about my engagement termination."

"In other words, what you sacrificed—was just leaking information in advance."

"That's quite calculating~ Do you plan to take every advantage for yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Sona slightly lowered her gaze.

"So... does this mean that Chiba Akira-kun is unwilling to break off our

engagement?"

She initially hoped that once Chiba Akira received compensation he would smoothly

agree to terminate their engagement.

Now it seemed she needed to expend more effort.

"It's not that I'm unwilling; it's just that your price isn't enough."

"You know very well that I'm not like you; I'm poor and easily tempted by money."

"As long as you give me a satisfactory price, I can agree to any condition. It's just an

engagement; breaking it is easy."

Chiba Akira had never been in a hurry from the start.

Because no matter what Sona did as long as he remained passive and did not engage

with her,

Without giving her leverage against him, he held absolute initiative over their situation.

....

Sona helplessly rubbed her forehead.

It seemed she couldn't avoid being taken advantage of by Chiba Akira after all.

Sighing softly, she got straight to the point again.

"Alright then; tell me what you want."

"I want...."

"Three drops of Phoenix tears."

"One drop delays our engagement by a year; if you give me three drops at once, I will

immediately agree to terminate our engagement."

"Impossible!"

Due to Chiba Akira's exorbitant offer, their negotiation instantly fell apart.

"You actually got angry? That's quite rare." Chiba Akira waved his hand dismissively

as if finding Sona's reaction exaggerated.

"I!"

Sona slightly pursed her lips but hesitated to speak further.

"Isn't it because you proposed such unrealistic conditions?"

"Three drops of Phoenix tears; what are you thinking?"

Sona's expression became slightly annoyed as she returned to her seat.

"So you think three drops of Phoenix tears is too high a price?"

"Of course."

Sona recalled how her sister Serafall gave Chiba Akira one drop of Phoenix tears as

compensation after breaking off their engagement.

Her sister only needed one drop for her engagement termination; why did it suddenly

become three drops for her?

Has inflation hit after three years!?

....

"Well then; since we can't reach an agreement between us, let's use the old rules of

our demon clan."

"Strength is king; respect for the strong; weaklings must listen to those who seize

power."

"We'll compete in three rounds; best two out of three. If you win Sona-kun, I will

immediately agree to terminate our engagement."

"If I win, I want you to marry me immediately and wear a wedding dress that night."

Chiba Akira laid down his terms provocatively.

....

"Alright then; since Chiba Akira-kun wants it that way let's compete!"

Sona ignored the latter part of Chiba Akira's statement because she believed he

merely wanted face-saving measures after losing their engagement discussion.

Lose?

Whether in intelligence or strategy or personal strength or team strength—she didn't

think she had any chance of losing!

Even if they played three rounds and lost one game—she could still ensure victory!

After agreeing with Sona quickly heard the system notification sound:

[Ding!~]

[Sign-in Location: A kiss from Sona (Note: initiated by Sona).]

Hearing the system notification sound made Chiba Akira smile lightly.

It suited him perfectly.

He wanted to test whether his slight succubus bloodline would work against highranking demons!
