*****

Sona seems to think about the consequence of removing the evil piece from the reincarnated devil.

Before she was saying anything, I added. "I can do the rest to keep her alive. As you know, I'm not a devil and I won't risk Shirone by removing the piece myself without any experience."

Now Sona has a difficult expression before shooks her head. "Unfortunately, I can't. That piece could only be removed by their King."

Somehow, I had guessed that. So that means, I must visit Rias to get her to remove the piece from Shirone?

Damn it, I don't know where they are right now. My best guess is that they have gone to the Underworld to train themselves. Ridiculous, what's the use of training in the underworld? Every place is the same, they only need to find a good teacher or try their best to get the best result.

I clicked my tongue and think of the other alternative. Can Magari remove the piece from Shirone? She's a better Senjutsu user than me and Kuroka, so I put my bet on her. Or should I ask Amaterasu to help me?

I looked at Sona with an annoyed expression. "Is there another way?"

Sona shook her head again and said. "No, if it's a devil that is stronger from the King, maybe they can do something. But, my strength is roughly almost equal to Rias, so I can't do anything."

A devil that is stronger from the King? I looked at Kuroka and she also looked at me. Wasn't Kuroka still have the pieces inside her body? Then…

"Kuroka, I am counting on you." I said as I stood up from the couch. I turned to look at Sona and give her a warning. "She had betrayed her promise, so expect me to do the same."

Sona is a smart girl, she instantly understood what I mean and she paled.

"Could it be?" She stood up from her chair and extended her hand to stop me.

But I walked towards the exit while being followed by Kuroka who was smiling and Shirone who looked confused.

We exited the room without looking back even a little, leaving Sona gritting her teeth in frustration.

3rd POV

Sona was watching Riku and his group walked out of the room while gritting her teeth. She had never expected that her rival would break her promise this quickly.

The other party is clearly stating what he would do and what he could do when we confront him in front of the school.

He clearly said that if anyone wanted to leave the peerage with their own will, then we, the devils, would allow it without saying anything.

He also said that he has a way to prevent the reincarnated devil from dying after their piece is removed. But, Rias. Sona understood that her rival needed a strong ally to help her. But not this way.

From Riku's expression when he entered the room, Sona guessed that Rias was talking to her peerage about getting Riku into her peerage. Koneko, or rather Shirone who heard that and was betrayed by Rias must've told Riku about it.

"This is a mess." Muttered Sona as she flopped down on the couch with a tired expression.

"Kaichou, do you want another cup of tea?" Asked Tsubaki as she sat beside Sona.

Sona looked at her cup on top of the table and saw that it was empty. She must've drunk all of it unconsciously when talking with Riku earlier.

"I would like one."

Tsubaki nodded her head and make the tea for Sona.

Sona fixed her glasses and sat in a straight posture while muttering. "What should we do…"

"So are we going back to Kanto nya, Riku-sama?" As we are exiting the school, Kuroka asked me.

I nodded my head and looked at Shirone. "We will ask Magari to look at Shirone's condition before we are removing the piece. Your cooperation would be essential here, Kuroka."

"I know nya. So we need Magari in case of something right?"

"Yes, but we need to do one more thing." I said to Kuroka.

We are now a little bit away from the school and there is no other person here. I transformed into my Youkai form and smiled.

"We will hunt a stray devil."

Kuroka immediately understood my word, while Shirone asked. "Why?"

I looked at her with a smile and patted her head. "So we can experiment on them. I can't allow any mistake when extracting the evil piece within your body."

I pulled my hand and spread my senses. This town has no stray devil, that's why I spread my senses until it reached outside of the town. I could feel big energy right outside of the town that feel like a fallen angel.

I instantly know that it must be Kokabiel. So he had arrived near Kuoh? I think he realized that he was scanned, as his energy moved away from the town.

I ignore him for now and concentrate to feel the energy that I wanted to find. I closed my eyes to feel the energy better and after a few seconds, I managed to find muddy energy that was located around 2 Kilometers outside the town.

I smiled and opened my eyes as I looked in the direction where I found the energy. "There. 2 Kilometers outside the town."

"Roger nya!"

I pointed in the direction of the energy and Kuroka made a magic circle to teleport us. The purplish-black magic circle engulfed us and we are teleported in woods, right in front of an ugly creature that has eight legs covered in brown fur.

He has a human body and head though, but he's still ugly. So this is a stray devil that was not strong enough to keep its human form? I almost puked when I saw him.

The stray devil in front of us didn't seem to notice our presence yet as he kept munching on an animal that was covered in blood. I can't guess what animal that is because it has no intact shape, but it's gross.

Kuroka and Shirone were pinching their nose because they can't handle the putrid smell that came from the creature. I could handle it because I have no sensitive nose like them, but I need to finish this fast.

I summoned my Nenekirimaru, rested it on my right shoulder after I unsheathed it, and shouted towards the stray devil to get his attention.

"Hey, ugly bastard!"

The stray devil looked at us and said. "Hohoho, what is this? More prey for me?"

I smirked at his word and pointed my Nenekirimaru towards him. "You will come with me. I won't take no for an answer."
