Is he bad?

"You almost had success earlier," Jeanne said with a sigh.

"Well, next time all of you need to bring a sweet together," Yuuki said.

"Is that effective?" Rossweisse asked.

"It should be that girl's mind is pretty simple," Yuuki said. "Do you want to fight her or make her into our ally?"

"Our ally."

They answered without hesitation since they wanted to fight such a little girl.

"Then, I'll give you a chocolate that you can show to the little girl later when you have met her. If we can't fight with quality then how about quantity?" Yuuki said.

They looked at Yuuki and thought that they needed to learn as a devil who had just started their profession.

They went back to the castle and met Azazel who had disappeared for one day.

"Sense, where have you been?" Issei asked.

"I have been explaining the research about a Sacred Gear to the researcher on the Tepes Faction." Azazel looked at Yuuki and said sourly, "You have said that you're going to join me? Why don't you come? I have been waiting...."

Yuuki rubbed his nose and said, "I have forgotten."

"........"

"Is it alright for you to explain those things to the vampire?" Jeanne asked. She felt that it was quite strange to help their enemies.

Azazel shook his head and said, "I have only told them about the general information about the Sacred Gear since their research is more backward than I have imagined."

"General information?" Rias raised her eyebrow.

"Well, to be honest, the vampire has the same problem as the devil right now," Azazel said.

"Same problem as the devil? What do you mean?" Issei asked.

"You know that there is a lot of reincarnated devil who owns a Sacred Gear, right?" Azazel said.

They nodded in response.

"Then you have also heard that some of the devil who has mistreated them and received revenge from that reincarnated devil?" Azazel asked.

"........"

The devil group who heard that question nodded even though they didn't like to hear it. They knew that there was some group of the pure devil who thought that they were better than the reincarnated devil and thought that they could do whatever they wanted to them.

Then it was during the attack of Hero Faction on the underworld that made the reincarnated devil started their revenge on their bastard master. They attacked the pure devil who had a high rank and killed them during such chaos.

After that, it had become an open secret for everyone to treat the reincarnated devil differently since their power could be stronger than the pure devil.

"Why do you mention that matter now? Does it have something to do with the vampire too?" Akeno asked.

"Well, it doesn't have anything to do, but the vampire has a similar problem with the devil since the pure vampire is also very arrogant toward the halfling in this town," Azazel said.

Yuuki raised his eyebrow and asked, "Is there a lot of Dhamphir who owns a Sacred Gear?"

"It's not a lot, but there are numerous of them," Azazel said and looked at Gasper. "Such as Gasper and the Queen of the Tepes Faction. Both of them are Dhampir and own a powerful Sacred Gear, no, Longinus."

"........"

Azazel had a long sigh then said, "The world has become more unpredictable now." He shook his head and asked, "So what has happened after I have gone for a day?" He thought for a while and said, "Let's go back to our room to talk about this matter." He thought about setting up a barrier so no one would hear their conversation later.

They nodded and agreed with Azazel without hesitation when to the room to talk about the thing that had happened yesterday.

---

"Rivezim?!" Azazel twitched his mouth.

"Will you report it to the underworld?" Rias asked. She knew that once the name of Rivezim was known to the underworld, the devil who had been hiding and had supported the Old Satan faction would come out at the same time to support Rivezim.

Azazel nodded and said, "I'll talk about this matter to Sirzech after I have learned everything that happened yesterday."

Then they continued their talk and talked about the powerful man who had become the bodyguard of Valerie, Marius Tepes who seemed to plan something bad, and Lilith who was Rivezim's bodyguard.

Azazel nodded and said, "If we can bribe Lilith with sweets to enter our group then it is a cheap price." He had to admit that he was a bit surprised with how Yuuki tried to make Lilith betray Rivezim.

They nodded and took sweets that had been given by Yuuki before. They thought that this guy had been lying to Lilith since he had said that he didn't have sweets anymore.

"About this Marius, I haven't heard you talk about this man before," Yuuki said.

Rias slapped her forehead and said, "I have forgotten about it since you have just come out from a bathroom with Akeno yesterday."

"........"

Everyone looked at Yuuki and Akeno at this moment with a strange expression, however, Issei had an envious expression on his face.

"Let's talk about the bathroom later since there is something more important, right?" Yuuki said trying to change the topic of conversation.

"M - Marius has said that he'll give Valerie to us later," Gasper said nervously.

"Really?" Yuuki and Azazel were a bit surprised.

"Yes, he told us yesterday," Gasper said with a serious expression. When he saw the doubt on Yuuki and Azazel his expression turned serious since he knew that there might be something bad happening to his friend.

"If Marius is as bad as the person that you have talked to before then I'm sure that he won't give Valerie to us easily," Yuuki said.

Azazel nodded and said, "He must have something planned beforehand."

"Such as?"

"Stealing the Holy Grail from Valerie."
