67 Win

"Hehe, thank you~" Kissing Fenrir's paw, Shizuka happily replied, then turned around and settled down to rest.

Minutes passed and unlike the previous occasions, Rias this time spoke with much more spirit and although the smile on her face was currently nervous, the fact that Amarok might be Fenrir didn't discourage her at all.

"... In summary of it all is that the name Fenrir was given to him by us, it really has nothing to do with Nordic mythology so you don't have to worry" Making a brief summary of how Fenrir didn't used to have a name, Saya finally sighed and ended her long talk of at least 15 minutes.

"It's okay, after all, everyone knows that Fenrir is sealed, so there won't be a problem with that" With understanding on her face, Rias thought for a few seconds and commented, then continued "Don't worry about-"

"*Sigh* We arrived."

But as Rias was speaking, a voice came into the cave, causing them all to turn their gaze towards the cave entrance to observe the exhausted Satooji and Sona's group.

"Everything okay?" raising her eyebrows at the sight of the exhausted faces in Sona's group, Saya asked.

"Yes, thank you very much for your help" Nodding, Sona turns to Rias and raises her eyebrows at the sight of her wide smile "Looks like everything went well."

"It couldn't have gone better" Nodding, Rias turns to Satooji and asks "How much time is left?"

"12 minutes"

"Then we'll be on our way" Standing up, Rias smiled towards Saya and the girls, then turned to Fenrir and spoke "The Rating Game will be in 2 days... can I summon you?"

"Mn."

"Thank you!" Bowing her head slightly, Rias turned to Sona and spoke "Shall we go?"

"Yes..." Looking at Fenrir for a few seconds, Sona nodded, then looked at the girls and bowed her head slightly "Thank you for your hospitality, you are welcome anytime within our territory."

"The time will come" Nodding, Saya replied.

"Goodbye~" Standing up, Akeno waved her hand as she smiled softly, then quickly formed a circle under her and Rias and left the place.

"We're leaving" Looking at her nobility, Sona formed another circle and they retreated from the cave, leaving only Satooji and the herd.

"Were you able to bring the books?" With the departure of the guests, Saya turned to Satooji and asked with sparkling eyes.

"Yes" Nodding quickly, Satooji raised his hand and dropped a large amount of books as he commented "I brought books on demonic history, human history, basic magic and everything else I could find."

"Did you discount the money from these books?"

"No, I used my savings"

"How much did it cost?"

"A few hundred thousand dollars, but don't worry-"

"Here" Handing two gold bars to Satooji, Saya continued "Take out the percentage due to you and take these gold bars to pay for the books."

"Thank you very much miss!" Without trying to refuse, Satooji quickly took the bars and walked over to the pile of gold, then started counting the exact amount Saya told him.

Looking at the large pile of books, Saya swallowed her excitement and waited patiently for Satooji to finish separating her gold.

"All done..." Holding the pile of gold belonging to him by his side, Satooji smiled brightly and turned to Saya "Do you need anything else for next month?"

"Nothing for now, thank you very much" Knowing that they now have a ticket to the human world with Fenrir, Saya shook her head and continued "I don't think it's good to sell so many furs again, hopefully the market will again have a deficit and we can sell again, for now rest and if you happen to find more books of demonic magic, please buy them if you can and we'll pay for them here"

"I will keep an eye on everything I see." Nodding quickly, Satooji looked at his watch and bowed deeply "I have to go, thank you very much for everything"

"Thanks to you"

"See you later" Smiling, Satooji stretched out his hand and put away his gold, then formed a circle and left the place.

"..." Having all the guests out, Saya sighed and turned to the girls "So... we have money and a lot of books."

"Demon magic..." Standing up, Rika walked over to the books and sat down, then picked up the first one she saw and muttered "Although I don't like to read... I think this might be interesting."

"Mn, we have around 200 books so you'll have plenty of leisure time... though I'll take away the books on the history of the human world and the history of hell for now, I feel the need to know what's going on outside" Reading cover by cover, Saya commented.

While Saya and Rika were talking about the books, Yuriko turned to the silent Saeko and asked "Is something wrong? You haven't said a word since the guests arrived."

"It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable having strangers in this place" Smiling somewhat stiffly, Saeko continued "I think I understand well why Fenrir got angry.... It really is an unpleasant feeling."

"What exactly do you feel?"

"It's strange... the scent of those people lingers around and it feels very unpleasant... the worst thing is that I have a feeling it will be around for a few days before it fades away completely and it's certainly not comforting to know..."

"I see..." Nodding, Yuriko turned to Fenrir and murmured "He seems perfectly fine..."

"Not quite... I feel like he's just holding back" Sensing Fenrir's discomfort perfectly, Saeko continued "But he already has experience with this situation. In the forest it is not uncommon for a naive animal to enter the territory of others, so Fenrir knows how to carry these annoying feelings."

"Does our scent bother you too?"

"It's not the same thing... somehow the smell of our herd is pleasant, I couldn't tell you how that happens, but I guess it has to do with our disposition towards certain people"

"That's funny... so if they accepted Rias into the pack, automatically her scent would be pleasant?"

"Mmmm... I think so,, it's really strange" Rubbing her hair in confusion, Saeko muttered "I'm still a novice at this and it seems that even Fenrir doesn't know why this happens, it just happens."

"Well it's not entirely uncommon... it's not uncommon to see cases where there are people who hate each other to death and from one day to the next end up falling in love with the other person... something you might have hated before, becomes incredibly beautiful and special... no doubt life is unpredictable"

"Mn"

Listening to Yuriko's words, Fenrir opened one eye and watched the woman's slight smile for a few seconds, then closed his eye again and snorted.

"Give it up already, Rias!" Clenching his fist slowly, a man with blonde hair and exclaimed "I anticipated your every move, admit it, it's Checkmate!"

"Shut up, Raiser!" Gritting her teeth while her clothes are a mess thanks to the fight, Rias exclaimed "Checkmate!? You anticipated my moves!? Don't make me laugh, I, the king, am still standing!"

"Then I have no choice, do it" Looking sideways at a beautiful woman with purple hair, Raiser spoke.

"Yes" Rising into the air, a strong purple energy surrounded the woman, causing Rias to grit her teeth and look at Issei and Asia behind her back "Guys..."

"Buchou" With a mouth full of blood as Asia tries to heal him with her power, Issei gritted his teeth and spoke "I-"

*Boom*

"Asia, Issei!" Shrinking her pupil to the max, Rias looked at the huge explosion behind her as dust and smoke covered her gaze, then rushed towards them and exclaimed "Are you okay!?"

"Ugh" Gritting his teeth as a sharp pain covered his back, Issei looked at the young blonde in his arms and muttered "Asia?"

"*Sigh*" Catching sight of the two, Rias sighed with relief and smiled weakly "She's not hurt, she just lost consciousness from shock."

"Sorry, I didn't think the boy would protect her with his body" Coming down from the air, the purple-haired woman spoke softly.

"Never mind, she can't use Twilight Healing anymore" Smiling nonchalantly, Raiser replied.

"Damn you!" Gritting his teeth, Issei stood up and shouted angrily.

"Issei" Grabbing her pawn's shoulder, Rias shook her head and stepped forward, then looked at the smiling pair in front of her and took a deep breath "I didn't want to do this... but I have no other choice."

"B-buchou, I can!" Trembling slightly as she knew what Rias was referring to, Issei wiped the blood from her mouth and exclaimed.

"Issei..." Looking at the young man with a complicated expression, Rias continued "I know you can do it, but you're not ready yet."

"..." Clenching his fists while lowering his gaze, Issei clenched his teeth tightly and nodded, knowing perfectly well how important the victory of this game is.

"Raiser" Turning her gaze towards the arrogant man, Rias continued "I hope you survive."

"Hahaha, don't make me laugh" Putting his hands in his pants pockets, Raiser responded with disdain "What will you do now? You're almost out of magic and your servants are on the verge of death, admit it, the game is over!"

Shaking her head, Rias closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then raised his hand and exclaimed "My dear familiar, I, Rias Gremory summon you!"

With her words, a large crimson magic circle glowed in the sky, causing Raiser to frown slightly at the unexpected event and comment towards the woman at his side "Rias has familiars?"

"Only a domestic type familiar" Frowning, the woman replied, knowing full well that from the size of the summoning circle, the beast on the other hand certainly isn't small.

"No matter" Shrugging, Raiser continued "They still have no way to win."

*Thud* *Boom*

With a loud thud and a small explosion that scattered dust everywhere, Rias grinned and dropped exhausted onto the roof, staring at what now represented her salvation.

"How annoying" Frowning at being surrounded by dust, the purple-haired woman waved her hand and a strong wind blew all the dust away from the place, leaving a sight that caused even her to open her eyes a little wider.

Being already about 15 meters tall, Fenrir looked sideways with her predatory golden eyes and growled as her dark mane fluttered in the wind.

"Hahahahaha!" Blinking for a few seconds, Raiser finally laughed loudly as a couple of tears spilled out of his eyes, then turned his gaze to Rias and mockingly exclaimed "And here I thought you'd have a dragon or something similar, but it turns out it's a mere wolf-"

Cutting off his words, Raiser blinked again in a daze as he stared at a familiar pair of shoes, causing him to mutter "Those shoes... are mine?"

"R-raiser!?" Blinking in disbelief, the purple-haired woman looked at the disappearing body under a beautiful light and robotically looked up, finding herself being stared at by terrifying golden eyes, causing her whole body to tremble heavily and open her mouth to let out an instinctive scream "KY-!!!!"

But before he could take form, a claw pierced her heart and just like the young blond, her body turned to light and disappeared.

Frowning slightly, Fenrir looked up at Rias and commented "Not that they were immortal?"

Blinking for a few seconds, Rias' eyes shone with happiness as a bittersweet smile formed on her face "You caused mortal damage, the game forcibly expelled him."
