"Massage the front too."

"Alright."

Badr wasn't going to be shy, so he started massaging right away.

After all, it wasn't the first time he'd done it.

The stimulating sensations came wave after wave, and Rias breathing became noticeably heavier.

She opened her arms to Badr, her tone a little heated, "Let me hold Y..."

Seeing the passion in her eyes, Badr leaned down and pressed himself against her. Rias wrapped her arms around his shoulders and Badr lowered his head to kiss her.

They kissed intensely for over a minute before pulling away, both a little lost in passion.

With her hands on Badr's shoulders, Rias stared at him for two seconds and then said softly:

"Take me."

She couldn't control her emotions, her eyes seemed to burn with desire.

Badr looked at Rias closely but gently refused:

"Not yet."

"Why?" Rias was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "I'm still a virgin, you know!"

"It has nothing to do with that."

Badr explained, "If we act now, it will be difficult for you later. You are the future head of the Gremory family. Acting on impulse will have consequences. It could even start a war between the two families.

He wasn't exaggerating. Rias still had a marriage contract, a compromise made for the continuation of the race.

If Rias acted on impulse now, the pureblood devil she was betrothed to would not let her. He would have every reason to act.

It would be seen as Rias and Badr being in the wrong, giving others an excuse to cause trouble.

Badr wasn't afraid, but he didn't want to make things difficult for Rias, so he had to think about her future.

Reminded by Badr, Rias could only sigh helplessly.

Of course she understood these things.

Just a moment ago, she had a strong desire to free herself from these constraints, which was why she had spoken so impulsively.

Fortunately, Badr remained calm. Now was not the time to give in to her desires.

Only by breaking the marriage contract would she be able to do whatever she wanted, to be openly with the person she loved.

She couldn't help but hold Badr close and whisper softly:

"Badr, I love you the most."

Seeing her emotional state, Badr smiled slightly, then took off his clothes and pressed down on her.

"Ah... didn't you say we couldn't make it?"

"I just said we can't go all the way. We can still do other things. Your family won't find out..."

With that, Badr unceremoniously lowered his head, leaving a hickey on Rias neck.

"Hehehe..."

Rias finally let out a happy laugh and tangled with Badr, constantly pleasing each other.

...

The next morning.

Badr slowly opened his eyes, got up and walked to the window. He looked out at the morning sun and took a deep breath.

He hadn't slept all night, he had been cultivating all the time.

After a wild time with Rias last night, they were caught by Asia when she came in. The little beauty immediately got jealous and the result was that the three of them played together for a long time...

After coaxing Rias to sleep, Asia didn't go to sleep, but instead joined Badr in his training.

With the help of Asia's Sacred Gear: Twilight Healing, Badr was able to let go more. He increased the power of the resonance, ignoring the intense pain, and let the magic power boil fiercely.

He found that as his strength and stamina increased, so did the intensity of the resonance with his Sacred Gear.

If he compared himself to a piece of iron, the resonance was a process of refinement. As iron was gradually forged into steel, the refining power had to increase.

One day, when he could fully withstand the negative effects of resonance, the resonance might no longer increase his power...

Then he would be able to fully unleash the power of the King's Sword and Shield...

Although Asia fell asleep after three hours, the night's training was very fruitful.

Seeing the two beauties in bed, Badr didn't wake them. He got dressed and left the room.

He first went to buy breakfast, and when he returned, Rias and Asia were already awake.

"Good morning."

Rias lay in bed, smiling and greeting him. Her seductive body was on display, reminding Badr of the passionate scenes of last night.

"Get up and have breakfast," Badr said quietly. "Will you two join me for morning training later?"

"Ah, about that, you don't need to go today."

Rias sat up, got out of bed with Asia and they started to get dressed.

"Something wrong?"

Seeing Rias picking up a black bra, Badr walked over. Rias turned around and Badr helped her fasten the bra. Then he looked at Asia.

"Can you help me too?" Asia blushed and turned around.

After helping her, Rias put on a white shirt.

She pulled her fiery red hair out of the shirt and smiled as she explained:

"We have a new task today. We have to investigate together. We'll leave after breakfast."

"Got it."

The task Rias mentioned was from the Devil Duke. The tasks varied, including the extermination of Stray Devils last time, but this time it was an investigation.

The details were unknown and would be explained upon arrival. After breakfast, they teleported to the school's club room to gather.

Akeno Himejima and Koneko Toujou soon arrived, and the group teleported into an ordinary house.

A well-dressed young man greeted them, bowing respectfully and clenching his fist.

"Samuel greets Lady Rias."

"No need for formalities."

As a High-Class devil, it was expected that lesser devils would greet Rias in this manner.

Only Badr, Koneko and the others, as Rias closest followers, could avoid such formalities.

"This is Badr and this is Asia, my new retainers. You haven't met them yet." Rias introduced.

Samuel smiled, "I heard Lady Rias had new retainers, but this is our first meeting."

"Hello," Badr and Asia said in unison, Asia quickly returning the salute.

"Alright, explain the task. What's the secret this time?" Rias asked quietly.

Samuel created a magical barrier and said carefully:

"Recently, our people outside were attacked by fallen angels, causing considerable casualties. The Duke suspects that the fallen angels are up to something and has sent scouts to investigate."

He paused, glanced at Rias and continued in a low voice:

"But our scouts lost contact after reaching a certain location. The Duke suspects that they met with misfortune."

He took a photograph from his pocket.

Rias and Akeno exchanged glances and Akeno stepped forward to examine the photo, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"This is the The Building, three kilometres west of Kuoh Academy."

Akeno immediately recognised the place from the photo. The building could be seen from their school.

"Hehe, that's right in my territory," Rias smiled.

"Yes, so the Duke thought of you," Samuel said. "He hopes you can take on this task, bring your followers and investigate. Find out the intentions of the fallen angels."

"Understood, I'll take the task."

There was no hesitation. Kuoh Academy was essentially Rias territory, and she had the right to take care of matters nearby.

After accepting the task, Rias looked at her followers.

"Have you noticed anything unusual about this building?"

"No, but fallen angels are always restless, aren't they?" Akeno smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

"Those guys are annoying," Koneko expressed her dislike for fallen angels.

Badr didn't speak but looked at Asia.

"Badr, what about you? Any clues?" Rias asked.

"I've thought of something..." Badr nodded.

He remembered the battle to save Asia. The fallen angels had mentioned something big and Asia's Sacred Gear was important...

Now Samuel was reporting trouble...

Could all this be connected?

After Badr's explanation, everyone was slightly stunned.

"Indeed... it could be related..."

Rias pondered, "If so, we must investigate this place thoroughly!"

...

Outside the The building, Rias led the team.

The building was over two hundred metres high and covered a large area. It was a busy place with entertainment, food and more.

If the fallen angels had a secret here, it would be spectacular to cause a stir...

"Who would have thought that there was a base of the fallen angels so close to our school?" Rias sighed. Without the investigation, it would have been hard to find out with her current informants.

"I smell something unpleasant..."

Koneko muttered.

"Are we just going in?" Asia was worried when she saw the busy building.

She feared that a fight would involve innocent people.

"I've arranged for Samuel to use magic to evacuate people if necessary," Rias assured her, twirling her hair elegantly. "Let's see what they're up to."

She was poised and imposing. At school, everyone felt she had an aura of cold elegance and authority.

As a knight and soldier, Badr led the way, walking calmly towards the entrance.

The first two floors of the building were open, seemingly normal, but Badr sensed an unusual, familiar energy-filled angel Sacred power.

Obviously, Rias and the others sensed it as well.

"Over here," Rias pointed in a direction.

Badr stepped forward, glancing at the surveillance cameras. The closer they got to the powerful force, the more cameras there were.

As expected, they were soon stopped by a group of security guards.
