Chapter 36 - Really white thighs

Despite Aoki's persistent nagging, Rias made her way toward the student council room.

"Buchou, wait for me!" Aoki called out as he hurried to catch up.

Shitori Sona and Shinra Tsubaki had been waiting for quite some time.

Upon arriving at the student council room, they immediately got down to business.

"Buchou, I told you it must be this yellow-haired monster…"

Aoki began to break down again, but unfortunately, no one paid him any mind.

"It's definitely third-year Oida who's orchestrating this behind the scenes. The account number and transaction records match"

Shitori Sona stated as she handed Rias some documents that clearly served as evidence for their investigation.

"Could it be that Mika used spirit magic to control Oida Daisei?" Rias suggested after a moment of contemplation.

"They had contact some time ago, and Oida's motives remain unclear."

"Probably not; Mika isn't strong enough to control Oida," Shitori Sona replied thoughtfully.

"No wonder—Oida should already possess B-level or even A-level strength."

Rias nodded in agreement, realizing that if that were the case, it would explain why the information had been leaked.

Shinra Tsubaki only had A-level strength; if Oida's power had increased to B-level or even A-level, his ability to conceal himself would have significantly improved.

It was entirely reasonable that the barrier Shinra Tsubaki casually set up had proven ineffective due to mental calculations.

Aoki had initially wanted to personally teach Oida a lesson, but upon hearing the conversation between Rias and Sona, he suddenly hesitated.

The suffering master template didn't adhere to ethics; he had once been an ordinary criminal who unexpectedly transformed into a big yellow-haired monster without following any predictable pattern.

Thinking of another unfortunate individual, Aoki asked, "President, where is Tetsuya? Has he dropped out of school?"

"No," Shitori Sona replied calmly, though Aoki could detect a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"We found the girl who was the victim; she said she wouldn't pursue the case."

"It seems she fell in love with Tetsuya Hatada and has developed a strange obsession. She wants him to be her boyfriend but can't stop him from dating others…"

Aoki was taken aback.

"Ah, this… If Tetsuya Hatada truly liked that girl, it would probably be more awkward than dropping out of school. If not… well, a bad match is forever."

He wished them a happy marriage and hoped they wouldn't harm anyone else in the process.

As expected from being in this second dimension, Aoki could always see the unexpected dangers lurking in the world.

"As for Oida," Shitori Sona continued, "what he's done so far can only result in his suspension from school; he cannot drop out."

She looked at Aoki seriously.

"During our investigation, we discovered that Oida has another plan: after ruining your reputation, he still wants your life."

"Ao-chan" Rias said sharply, narrowing her eyes and exuding a dangerous aura, "do you really not know why Oida is targeting you? This isn't just pure jealousy."

Aoki spread his hands helplessly.

What could he do?

He was handsome but easily attracted hatred.

"Buchou, I genuinely don't know," he frowned and admitted.

"To be honest, this isn't the first time I've been attacked like this; it's just the first time I'm clearly aware that someone wants me dead."

If Rias believed him, then the problem lay with Oida.

"Sona," Shitori Sona said as she adjusted her glasses on her nose, "Rias, you're in charge of Kuoh Town."

The implication was clear: the student council had decided not to interfere in this matter and that Rias could handle it as she saw fit.

 Sona may have appeared as the surface manager, but with her experience, she understood that Kuou Academy belonged to the Gremory family territory.

Rias's red hair fluttered as she spoke solemnly: "Alright then; I'll confront him personally."

With her strong personality, she never acted passively.

Since Oida intended to attack Aoki, she would eliminate him first.

Aoki felt a sense of relief knowing someone powerful stood behind him; he truly wanted to lean on Rias for support.

By becoming her ally, not only would he no longer have to worry about external dangers but also have closer access to beautiful girls.

 Sona observed Aoki's excitement with a sigh; most likely, the family member she valued was no longer present.

The rich emotions of the Gremory family naturally provided an advantage when it came to cultivating relationships.

They say sincerity cannot compete with cunning tactics

However, Rias possessed both sincerity and cleverness

Who could resist her?

Back at the Occult Research Club, Rias instructed Koneko to continue training with Aoki around the clock until she dealt with Oida.

Although it was termed training, it was essentially protection.

Three days later, Aoki received word that the situation had been resolved: Oida had vanished without a trace as if he had never existed at Kuoh Academy.

Thus ended one of his most dangerous adversaries without ever having seen that yellow-haired monster's face.

Aoki sighed at how alluring Rias's long white legs were and decided he would hold onto them tighter in future encounters.

Although the crisis was over, he continued training daily with Konemo and spent every free moment at the Occult Research Club, not officially a member but better than one nonetheless.

Many girls yearning for youth dared only watch from afar without approaching him flirtatiously; they couldn't compare to Rias in strength or beauty.

On one hand filled with self-doubt and shame while on another secretly resenting himself were Hamasaki Reina and Touko

Two girls who knew their own tastes yet couldn't accept other men due to their infatuation with Aoki.

However, Aoki remained shallow and less enthusiastic than before about pursuing them romantically while Sakuramachi became increasingly resentful after being left alone for nearly two weeks

Her succubus nature now uninterested in seducing other men.

During this period of rapid development between Aoki and Rias—a critical moment

The two incomplete talents provided by Shinra Tsubaki demonstrated that quality surpassed quantity when it came to relationships.

If he successfully captured someone's heart soon enough

Aoki would level up three times consecutively!

Naturally preoccupied with these thoughts left little time for hanging out with Hamasaki Reina or others there simply wasn't enough time!

Having once been an ordinary person made investigating easy for him

If Rias desired information about anyone

Even three generations back.

She could uncover it effortlessly.

As for whether she remained unaware of his relationships with other girls?

Of course not—she already knew everything!

Suddenly flying backward through two trees before stopping abruptly caused Aoki exclaiming:

"Koneko… didn't we agree on using equal force?"

"…" The white-haired loli turned away nonchalantly while whistling innocently behind her back.

Aoki scowled (▼ヘ▼#) at Koneko who gazed skyward as if saying: "I'm innocent—I don't know anything!"

"Forget it," he muttered dismissively while pouting slightly at how boring fighting felt now since Koneko chose not follow rules when faced against someone stronger than herself

Opting instead merely rely on sheer strength alone!
