"Rias, stop talking."
Anos silently sealed Rias's ability to speak.
When a woman would not stop complaining, Anos firmly believed in one principle.
Just kiss her and be done with it.
Of course, there were conditions.
One had to be handsome enough, or at the very least, possess a certain kind of presence.
Otherwise, even if one had money and ability, the first thing one received might still be instinctive disgust.
As a young girl, Rias had no resistance at all against this kind of approach.
"Anos really is a bastard."
That thought surfaced in her heart, but her body honestly gave its own response.
Perhaps this was what people called saying one thing while the body said another.
...
The next day.
"Anos? Parent Observation Day is in a few days, right?"
Rias asked Anos while taking a bath.
She was a little flustered.
Come to think of it, Anos had not met her family yet.
Whether it was her brother or her parents, they had only heard that such a person existed. They had never actually met him face-to-face.
Although Anos's information had definitely been placed on their desks long ago, in terms of actually meeting him in person, that had indeed never happened.
"Mm, it is Parent Observation Day... What's wrong? Rias, are you already impatient to introduce me to your family?"
Anos said with a smile.
"O-Of course... After all, Anos is the person I have acknowledged, Besides, you really have not met them before, Is it not only natural that I introduce you properly?"
Rias subconsciously thought Anos was teasing her, so she lowered her head and defended herself.
"Of course, I should be introduced properly, but Rias, do you not have confidence in me?"
Anos stroked Rias's smooth back and comforted her.
"Confidence? Of course I do."
"It is just... Parent Observation Day..."
Rias remembered the times her father and brother had come for Parent Observation Day in the past, and felt as if a raging storm were waiting for her.
Anos smiled and shook his head.
Rias was indeed easily embarrassed in this regard, especially when her father and brother praised her in front of a large crowd while holding her information, saying things like, "This is our daughter," or "This is my little sister."
But that was not a problem.
Compared to the things he had to consider, this was nothing more than a small appetizer.
...
Student Council Room.
Anos spent a great deal of time in the Student Council room today.
Because, just as Rias had said, Parent Observation Day was approaching. As the student council president, he still had many matters to handle.
"Lord Anos, this is the application submitted by the club association department. Also, this is the schedule for that day's activities."
A blond young girl respectfully handed Anos the documents submitted by other departments.
Her name was Ravel.
The girl had a name that every student thought sounded very cool, Ravel Phenex.
Her current position was secretary of the Kuoh Academy Student Council. She was working very hard to adapt to the duties of a secretary.
By Anos's standards, she was already doing quite well. She had talent in this area.
"Mm, I understand."
After receiving the documents from Ravel, Anos scanned through them at the fastest speed, then gave his instructions.
"Understood, Lord Anos. Next is this..."
Ravel had also grown used to Anos's efficiency. She calmly sorted the documents and prepared to distribute them later.
Just as the work was proceeding in an orderly manner, something unexpected happened from Ravel's perspective.
Click.
The door of the Student Council room opened, and a red-haired girl who had used this method to enter the room countless times walked in.
Ravel instinctively cast a dissatisfied look toward the red-haired girl. However, after remembering her own position, she withdrew her gaze again.
She was now a secretary.
A secretary could not show that kind of reaction.
Rias did not pay attention to Ravel's reaction. Instead, she spoke directly to Anos.
"Anos, about the matter I told you earlier. My brother's call should be coming soon."
Rias spoke with a slight urgency.
"Mm, I understand... I will prepare immediately."
Anos put down the documents in his hand.
Clearly, the matter on Sirzechs's side was more important.
"Ravel, can I trouble you and the rest of the Student Council to step out for a moment? Everyone here is a devil, so you should know some things already."
Anos reminded her.
"Yes, Lord Anos."
Ravel lowered her head slightly, then led the Student Council members out.
Other high-class devils might not necessarily know, but as the younger sisters of Satan Lucifer and Satan Leviathan, Rias and Sona definitely did.
The matter of the massive three-faction meeting that would soon be held at Kuoh Academy.
After everyone had left for a while, Rias threw out a magic circle.
A red figure and a green figure appeared above it.
Satan, Sirzechs Lucifer.
Satan, Ajuka Beelzebub.
"Hello, Anos Kanzaki. I am Rias's elder brother, Sirzechs. May I call you Anos?"
Sirzechs said with a smile.
The first time he heard the name Anos Kanzaki was from Rias.
Then...
Their first meeting should have been during one of Rias's previous Parent Observation Days.
However, at that time, he had only seen Anos through his perception. They had never formally met.
Later, when he heard the name Anos Kanzaki again, it was after the Kuroka incident.
During the Kuroka incident, Anos had used his wisdom and power to deal with the enemy with extreme ease. He had even effortlessly resolved the conflict between the Kuroka sisters.
From that moment on, Sirzechs had already begun paying close attention to Anos.
After that, even more unexpected things happened.
According to Grayfia's report, Anos actually possessed a method capable of rendering even a Satan-class expert like her powerless.
His own combat power also seemed anything but weak. He had even supposedly won with ease during the clash between the Red Dragon Emperor and the White Dragon Emperor.
Could such strength truly be reached by a human in such a short period of time?
But if it had not been a short period of time, then why had he shown no trace of it before?
Carrying countless questions, Sirzechs came to meet Anos.
Coincidentally, the three-faction meeting was already scheduled to take place in a few days. It would not be proper to keep Anos, the student council president of this academy, uninformed.
"Hello, Lord Sirzechs... I am Anos Kanzaki, the student council president of this academy."
Anos also stood up with a smile.
Both Satans were standing. Since they were showing him this much respect, Anos had no intention of remaining seated while speaking with them.
"I am Ajuka. You may simply call me Ajuka."
Ajuka also nodded.
He was not particularly interested in Anos's personal strength.
He had only come along for the ride. If Sirzechs had not dragged him here, he would not have bothered coming to watch the excitement.
With this time, he would rather continue researching the Kankara Formula.
However, if he knew that the current Anos already possessed formation mastery surpassing his own, his attitude would not be like this.
"Then, Lord Sirzechs, Lord Ajuka, let us discuss the serious matter."
Anos said with a smile.
Because of the dragon fluctuations, powerful forces had already begun gathering.
There were even more things to do next.
...
"Anos."
"What did you talk about with my brother and Lord Ajuka? I feel like my brother looked very serious."
After Anos finished his matter, Rias asked curiously.
"There were indeed a few things. But for now... it is still a secret, Rias."
Anos stroked Rias's hair.
At least for now, it was not suitable for Rias to know about this matter.
"Mou."
"Anos, you always like making things mysterious."
Rias was very dissatisfied that Anos was hiding things from her.
Was it not just the fact that angels, devils, and fallen angels would hold a three-faction meeting here in a few days?
She had already heard about it from her brother.
Hmph.
In truth, she had only asked Anos to see whether he would tell her. She had not expected him to choose concealment even if he did not lie.
Hmph.
She was a little angry.
However, the matter Anos was talking about was genuinely not the same matter she was thinking of.
And besides, Anos was very good at dealing with angry women.
After being thoroughly "comforted" by Anos, Rias once again turned into a soft, pliant girl.
"Anos, you really are sly."
In the end, Rias lightly bit Anos's shoulder as she spoke.
...
Within a single day, Anos had arranged almost everything for Parent Observation Day, which would be held in a few days.
"I hope the next matters can develop smoothly."
Anos looked at the sunset over Kuoh Town.
As expected, Kuoh Town's sunset was still quite beautiful.
Then, on his way home, he heard the system's voice.
[Ding.]
