Chapter 10

Eden had never been to Kuoh Private Academy but thought the drive shouldn't be too long, so he decided to let his mind wander as he drove. His thoughts shifted to Diodora Astaroth. Frankly, the idea of killing him didn't concern Eden much. From the glimpses he had seen of the future, Diodora seemed to be nothing more than a prideful yet ultimately weak pervert. Taking care of him would be only slightly more challenging than dealing with an average scumbag. However, what truly worried Eden was Diodora's backing from the devils and whatever organization provided him with the artifact that made him believe he was akin to a god.

As for the devils, Eden hoped for the best – that they could be reasoned with. His ideal scenario involved the devils learning about Diodora's collaboration with the fallen angels to kidnap Asia and taking care of him themselves. But then again, devils were often perceived as embodiments of evil, so it might come down to Eden having to eliminate them all. Another concern was Asia. He needed to find an artifact in his treasury that would allow her to speak and understand Japanese. Additionally, he had to consider the possibility that the church might want her back. After being exiled from the church, Asia's fate didn't typically lead her back there, but Eden's focus was divided between learning about her past and Diodora during his spellcasting, so he couldn't be certain.

After about six more minutes of contemplation in the car, Hisato's voice interrupted him. "Sir, we have arrived." Looking around, Eden realized they were indeed at Kuoh Private Academy, formerly known as Kuoh Girls Academy. "Hisato, if my mother hears a single word of this, she's in trouble."

"Yes, sir. Understood."

Technically Hisato was his mother Mira's boss, Mira had taken control of his father's company, Golden Leaf, after his passing. However, thanks to a bit of Enchantment magic, Eden had manipulated the minds of opportunistic executives to maintain control over the company. Mira also spoiled him, leading him to assign his own secretary. Hisato opened the car door for him. "Take a drive around the block. I'll text you if I need you." Without waiting for a reply, Eden began walking toward the school, spotting a girl he recognized in the distance. Smiling to himself, he decided to use a skill he rarely employed – 'Allure'. This ability weaponized his charisma, making those with weak wills fall deeply in love with him. It was known to work even better on those sexually frustrated or susceptible to their desires. Considering he was dealing with devils, he activated it. Allure had one drawback – it could trigger on its own if the user became aroused or stressed.

As he approached the girl, he unleashed a hint of Allure. "Akeno, it appears you'll be my guide. I couldn't have asked for anyone better." However, his words were met with silence, and Akeno simply looked him up and down, squirming. It took a moment for her to realize her rudeness, and then she greeted him. "Hello, Eden. It's really, really nice to see you. Of course, I'll be your guide. But before we see Rias, how about I give you a tour of Kuoh?"

"I'd like to speak with your mistress, but I'll definitely take you up on that offer another time."

"That's unfortunate. But please take my Line, just in case you need anything." With what he believed to be a touch of magic, Akeno conjured a piece of paper with her Line contact.

"I'll do that right now." It only took a second to input the data.

"Now that personal matters are sorted, let's proceed." Akeno then wrapped her arms around his and guided him toward her master. The walk took longer than he anticipated, but Akeno seemed to be taking the scenic route, and Eden didn't mind. Her bosom pressed against his arm the entire way. Upon reaching the door, he found more people present than he had expected. In addition to Rias and her servants , there were others. Most notably, a woman who appeared to be his age or slightly younger, dressed in a revealing magical girl outfit. Her twintails framed her black hair, and her eyes were a dull blue. Seated at a desk in the center of the room, she exuded an air of authority. Behind her stood an older woman but still young maybe in her twenties ,with brunette hair and a seductive figure. To the right were Rias' followers. Among them, Eden only did not recognized a young girl with white hair who looked to be in middle school and a woman in her late teens, clad in a maid uniform, sporting white hair and a similar attractive figure. On a couch at the front sat Rias. Then to his left were two women seated on another couch. One bore a striking resemblance to the magical girl, though she looked more stern, akin to his sister, and wore glasses like Nina. The second woman emanated a similar vibe, yet possessed a more voluptuous figure, longer hair, and greater height.

When Eden saw this scene, two main questions arose. Firstly, why were there so many people? Secondly, why were devil women so beautiful?
