❁❁❁❁

The two days I spent at the Sitri residence were quite enjoyable; I lived like an emperor.

Upon learning of my impending engagement to Rias, Sona's parents expressed their desire to intervene, even requesting to have Sona engaged to me as well.

Moreover, the Sitri family was even wilder, suggesting that since Sona was still young, I could unite with their eldest daughter, Serafall, first. That way, they could have grandchildren sooner.

Their words left everyone thunderstruck.

Serafall was furious. If Sona and the others hadn't held her back, she might have blasted her old father away.

However, precisely because of this incident, Sona also became more cautious, keeping a close eye on me at all times.

So, these past two days, I hadn't even had a chance to make a move on Serafall, which left me quite frustrated.

———

Meanwhile, as time passed, the Underworld Rating Game competition arrived.

At this moment, the Devil City was bustling with excitement. Not only Devils, but also Michael, Azazel, and representatives from other factions had arrived in the Underworld.

This Rating Game was truly unprecedented, a grand spectacle!

Just as everyone was mingling, my arm was suddenly pulled. Turning my head, I found it was Koneko Toujou.

"Koneko-chan, what's wrong?" I asked with a smile, patting her head.

However, Koneko's face was solemn, her voice trembling.

"Senpai, it's Onee-chan... I sense Onee-chan's aura. She must be nearby!"

'So that's it!'

No wonder Koneko looked so serious. It must be Kuroka deliberately revealing her aura to lure Koneko out. This plot point happened in the original story too.

Understanding the situation, I nodded.

"In that case, go meet Kuroka. I'll follow you secretly, Koneko-chan."

"Okay!"

With that, Koneko and I, one after the other, quietly left the city.

———

Before long, Koneko arrived in a forest, her eyes scanning the surroundings, seemingly searching for her sister's figure.

"Shirone, long time no see, nya~"

Suddenly, a slightly charming and seductive voice came from a large tree above.

A black-haired catgirl was lazily draped over a branch, her two tails swaying behind her. Her figure was stunning, and the armor on her chest jiggled enticingly, making my blood rush.

Kuroka, Koneko Toujou's older sister—not only could she use magic, Angel spells, and Youkai techniques, but her barrier abilities were also second to none among all the characters.

"Kuroka-nee..." Seeing the newcomer, Koneko's eyes were complicated, her tone heavy.

"I'm so happy Shirone came running as soon as I revealed a bit of my presence, nya!" Kuroka continued to lie lazily on the tree, a smile in her eyes, her golden, vertical pupils fixed on Koneko.

"Kuroka-nee, what are you doing here?" Koneko asked seriously, looking directly at Kuroka.

Knowing her sister was an SS-class wanted criminal in the Underworld, her sudden appearance in the Underworld surely meant something significant was about to happen.

"Don't be serious~ I came all this way just to see my little sister Shirone." Kuroka winked at Koneko, acting cute.

However, Koneko didn't believe her. She knew her sister must be hiding something.

"Kuroka-nee, what is your real purpose? If you don't tell me, I'm leaving!" Koneko took a deep breath and asked again.

As expected, seeing Koneko about to get angry, Kuroka's eyes flickered nervously.

"Actually, I came here this time to take Shirone away with me. Back then, it was your big sister who only cared about escaping, and didn't take you with me, so—"

However, before Kuroka could finish, Koneko interrupted her, revealing the truth with a complicated tone.

"Kuroka-nee, I already know what happened back then. You killed that Devil to protect me. And to avoid implicating me, you chose to leave alone. I already know everything!"

"Eh!!!"

Hearing Koneko's words, Kuroka's pupils constricted, her pretty face filled with shock.

She hadn't expected Koneko to know the truth of what happened back then. But perhaps, for her, this was also a good thing.

"Shirone, since you know the truth, then come with Onee-chan. I have the power to protect you. I won't let you suffer anymore!"

Saying this, Kuroka moved, appearing directly in front of Koneko, ready to take her away.

"I won't agree to you taking Koneko-chan, Kuroka!" Just then, I suddenly emerged from my hiding place, then glanced towards another spot and said indifferently.

"The one hiding in the dark, come out now. Or do you want me to personally drag you out?"

"There's someone else?!" Koneko exclaimed in shock.

The next second, a young man appeared behind Kuroka, carrying a red iron staff, with a golden circlet on his head.

This was Bikou.

"Yo~ I remember you're called Bikou, right? But why don't you have any fur? That's a bit strange!" I teased with a smile.

"..."

Hearing my words, Bikou stumbled, almost falling. His mouth twitched as he looked at me speechlessly.

Seriously? Usually, he's the one making fun of others. When did it become someone else's turn to tease him?

However, clearly knowing my identity, Bikou didn't dare to retort and could only reply with a wry smile.

"To think the renowned Hibari Kyoya would even know of an insignificant person like me. What an honor!"

"What? He's Hibari Kyoya?!"

Hearing this, Kuroka stared at me in astonishment.

My name was practically known throughout the Three Realms!

Even the [Khaos Brigade] had listed me as someone absolutely not to be provoked!

As Vali's comrade, she knew exactly how strong Vali was. Yet, even when he teamed up with Lux, they were still miserably defeated by me.

In fact, Vali and Lux were still recuperating at their base, their injuries not yet healed.

Even more terrifying was that through Vali, they learned just how horrifying I was—the master of the [Dragon Phantom]—with strength far surpassing the Dragon Gods.

She hadn't expected to encounter me here today.

"Kuroka, there's nowhere safer for Koneko-chan than by my side. So you can't take her away. And you don't have the ability to take her away either!"

I subconsciously patted Koneko's head and raised an eyebrow at Kuroka.

In front of her older sister, my intimate action instantly made Koneko's face turn completely red.
