What's The Matter, Wielder-chan?

Chapter 144 - What's The Matter, Wielder-chan?

"You're actually such an important person!"

Irina's eyes lit up, and her gaze toward Jeanne was full of admiration.

As a devout believer, Irina's faith ran deeper than Xenovia's.

Joan of Arc was a famous saint; naturally, Irina was excited to meet her descendant now.

"So, can you tell me now why you're colluding with a devil?" Jeanne squinted her eyes and smiled, but her tone carried a dangerous undertone as she questioned them. 

"Depending on your answers, big sis will decide what to do."

"Since you're a descendant of a saint, it's okay to tell you," Xenovia nodded.

Then she told Jeanne the whole story.

Of course, she omitted the parts where she and Irina were arrested and taken to the police station, and then rescued by Mahiro and Rias.

"Kokabiel?"

After listening, Jeanne was surprised. 

"That Fallen Angel Cadre recorded in the Bible? I didn't expect that the enemy you have to deal with is actually him!"

"That's right, so we have to join forces with the devils. Otherwise, with our strength, there's no way to deal with a Fallen Angel Cadre," Xenovia agreed.

"If our interests align, it's indeed possible to cooperate with devils," Jeanne nodded. She didn't value the feud between devils and the church that much.

Therefore, she quickly accepted Xenovia's explanation.

"What about me?" Jeanne asked.

"You intends to help us?" Irina said in surprise.

"Fighting against Kokabiel is not a game, and you may die if you're not careful," Xenovia reminded.

Although they have Mahiro, the Red Dragon Emperor, who can deal with Kokabiel, it doesn't mean their safety is guaranteed.

"I'm going to defeat that fallen," Jeanne said matter-of-factly. "Isn't it like bringing myths back to life?"

"Yay, Xenovia, see? This is the descendant of the saint. I'm so lucky to be able to work with this sister."

Irina's eyes sparkled as she looked at Jeanne admiringly and exclaimed excitedly, almost turning into a fangirl ready to rush over.

"What's the matter, wielder-chan?" Jeanne felt a little uncomfortable with Irina's enthusiasm and asked with a dry smile.

"Don't worry, this girl just worships saints too much," Xenovia said with a headache, rubbing her forehead.

"Is that so?" Jeanne nodded understandingly, thinking it might be better to keep some distance from this overly dramatic holy sword wielder.

"Devil over there, what's your opinion?" Jeanne looked at Rias.

"Mahiro, what do you think?" Rias glanced at Mahiro.

Although she had some doubts about Jeanne's sudden appearance, she didn't have enough information to immediately connect Jeanne to Cao Cao.

"It doesn't matter," Mahiro smiled. He was genuinely curious about what Jeanne intended to do in Kuoh Town.

Moreover, it might be beneficial to have additional allies.

"Then it's settled. I will join you and deal with Kokabiel together," Jeanne said, putting away her holy sword.

"Do you want to come back with us? You just arrived in Kuoh Town, so you probably haven't settled down yet," Rias offered.

"Okay," Jeanne nodded.

It was Cao Cao who directed her to come to Kuoh Town. Moreover, he hinted that she should get close to Rias and the others.

Although she didn't know why Cao Cao asked her to do such a thing, given that she was being forced into an arranged marriage by her family, she needed a suitable hiding place.

Now, isn't the timing just perfect?

Rias did not take the three back to Mahiro's house but instead returned to Rias's grand villa in Kuoh Town.

"It's so luxurious... no wonder people are tempted to fall," Irina swallowed and then muttered to herself, "Never be deceived, never fall..."

"Do we live here?" Xenovia asked in surprise.

In contrast, Jeanne appeared calm. As a descendant of a saint, her family wasn't composed of ascetic monks. 

Although their living conditions weren't as lavish as those of devils like Rias, they were still quite comfortable.

"This is my place on Earth, but I rarely stay here," Rias explained as she led them into the mansion and allocated rooms to the three.

"There's no maid in such a big house?" Mahiro looked around and found that the whole place was quite empty; aside from them, there was no one else.

"I usually let familiars handle the cleaning, and I seldom stay here, so I don't arrange for maids or the like," Rias replied.

"Aren't there exactly two now?" Mahiro glanced at Irina and Xenovia.

"Right," Rias nodded, showing a devilish smile.

"Xenovia, this bed is really soft and comfortable."

"This is the life," Irina said.

Irina and Xenovia both lay on the bed, squinting their eyes contentedly, looking drowsy.

They completely forgot their earlier resolve, displaying truly content expressions.

"The two of you should rest today, but don't forget that tomorrow is the official day you start working to pay off your debts. These are your work clothes."

Mahiro took out two sets of maid outfits and handed them to the pair, which Rias had prepared.

"What kind of dress is this? It looks a little strange," Xenovia said, examining the maid outfit.

"Why do we have to wear clothes like this?" Irina glanced at it, blushing suddenly, and protested.

"If you don't want to wear it, your salary will be halved, and room and board won't be included," Mahiro said simply.

Irina: "..."
