Chapter 23: Akeno, Your Body Is Very Soft!
Chapter 23 - Akeno, Your Body Is Very Soft!
"I'm Rias Gremory, a Devil. Nice to meet you."
Rias smiled mysteriously and confidently, bowing slightly to Mahiro as if performing a lady's curtsy.
A sharp sound echoed in the Occult Research Club room a moment later.
Following this sound, bat-like jet-black wings spread rapidly behind Rias.
The dark room, dark wings, and her blood-red hair made Rias look alluring and beautiful.
Next, Toujou Koneko stood up from the sofa, bowed to Mahiro, and said, "I'm Toujou Koneko, and I'm also a Devil, nice to meet you."
Kiba Yuuto followed, saying, "I'm Kiba Yuuto, and I'm also a Devil, nice to meet you."
Himejima Akeno smiled charmingly, adding, "I don't need to introduce myself. Like Rias and the others, I am also a Devil."
Each made the same movement as Rias to prove their identities, opening the wings behind them.
After revealing their identities, the four of them looked at Mahiro curiously.
Akeno, in particular, had a playful expression, eager to see how he would react.
"Is this some kind of special welcome ceremony of your Occult Research Club?"
Mahiro glanced at them indifferently.
Rias: "..."
Himejima Akeno: "..."
Kiba Yuuto: "..."
Toujou Koneko: "..."
The four exchanged looks of surprise and helplessness.
Mahiro's reaction was completely unexpected.
Himejima Akeno, dissatisfied, said, "He's too calm."
"Indeed, he's too calm, not what I imagined at all."
Rias observed Mahiro, hoping to see some surprise on his face, but he remained calm.
"Same."
Toujou Koneko's golden eyes showed no emotion, feeling the same as the others.
"Same."
Kiba Yuuto found it amusing to repeat.
"Alright, are you guys repeaters?"
"So, what kind of reaction should I have?"
Mahiro said with a shrug.
"I expected you to be at least a little shocked or scared after seeing our true forms, but..."
Rias sighed in disappointment.
"Oh, you are Devils? How terrifying!"
Mahiro's face suddenly changed to one of terror, and he hugged Himejima Akeno tightly.
"..."
Caught off guard, Akeno stood there stiffly, her face blushing.
This was the first time Akeno had such close contact with the opposite sex.
Despite often flirting with Mahiro and appearing coquettish, it was just a facade. She usually kept boys at a distance.
"Akeno, your body is very soft."
Mahiro whispered in her ear, taking advantage of her previous teasing.
Himejima Akeno quickly suppressed her panic and tried to regain control.
"Mahiro-kun, are you hugging enough? If not, you can continue."
Her smile grew softer, but there was a dangerous aura around her.
Hearing this, Mahiro quickly let go of Akeno.
"Rias-senpai, is this the reaction you wanted?"
The fear on Mahiro's face vanished, replaced by indifference.
Akeno glared at Mahiro, who said nothing had happened after hugging her.
"Fake!"
Toujou Koneko gave a rare evaluation.
"You make me feel that our introduction was unnecessary."
Rias said, frustrated.
According to her plan, Mahiro would be shocked by their introduction, allowing her to explain their background and arouse his curiosity before inviting him to join them.
But...
Rias looked at Mahiro with some resentment. His calm attitude had disrupted her plan.
"Mahiro, I'm curious. After seeing our true forms and knowing our identities, why are you so calm? Most people wouldn't react this way."
Rias asked.
'Because I've watched you on the anime.'
Mahiro couldn't say that.
"Occult Research Club sounds like a chunibyo name, and your wings seem a bit off. You look like cosplayers."
"Why would I be shocked!?"
Mahiro remarked.
"Pfft!"
Himejima Akeno couldn't help laughing. She bent over, saying, "Hahaha, Rias, it's the first time you've been treated as chunibyo. How does it feel?"
Rias felt very frustrated.
"I'm not chunibyo, I'm a real Devils."
Toujou Koneko said with a straight face, unhappy with Mahiro's evaluation.
"Well, you are Devils."
Mahiro spread his hands, "Besides, I saw Stray Devils last night. If I wasn't prepared, I'd be too ignorant to be surprised."
"Mahiro-kun, why do I feel like you already knew our identities?"
Akeno looked at Mahiro with interest.
Not only Rias, but she also found it strange that Mahiro's expression was so calm as if he had guessed they were Devils.
Mahiro didn't hide it and nodded, "I did guess a little."
"Didn't you say last night that you hunt Stray Devils? And Stray Devils are criminals in the Devil society."
Mahiro shrugged, "Even though I can't find specific information online, it's not hard to figure out."
"According to myths and legends, Exorcists and Angles are led by the god, while Devils are led by Satan."
"I can understand Exorcists and Angels, but.."
"Why guess Devils?!"
"Aren't they supposed to be man-eating monsters?"
Rias asked, curious about how Mahiro had guessed.
