As soon as Qin Xiao entered the house, he changed his shoes at the entrance and walked into the living room.
There, he immediately saw three beautiful figures.
They were none other than:
Rias Gremory
Akeno Himejima
Koneko Toujou
"Oh? Good evening."
"Looks like work was hard today."
Rias greeted him with a bright smile the moment she saw him.
Ever since Qin Xiao arrived in Kuoh Town, she had completely stopped worrying about stray devil missions.
Because Qin Xiao handled all of them.
Previously she had to run around personally to deal with those cases.
Now she simply handed everything to him.
It saved her an enormous amount of time.
"Why are you all here?"
Qin Xiao hadn't expected guests in his house.
Rias crossed her arms proudly.
"Well, you moved into a new house."
"So we came to celebrate."
"You're celebrating a week late."
"Don't worry about small details."
Looking at Rias' shameless confidence, Qin Xiao couldn't help but wonder.
Was this really the Queen of Kuoh Academy?
At that moment—
A soft voice came from behind Qin Xiao.
"Um…"
Instantly, Rias' expression changed slightly.
Akeno also turned her head, her gaze becoming serious.
"Oh right."
"I forgot to introduce her."
Qin Xiao pulled the girl standing behind him forward.
"This is Asia."
The blonde girl stepped out nervously.
Because she wasn't good with social interaction, she stood there awkwardly, nervously twisting the edge of her clothes.
When Rias saw the nun outfit, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Nuns belonged to the Church.
And the Church was affiliated with Heaven.
In other words—
They were on the Angel side.
And angels and devils were natural enemies.
"Qin Xiao… she…"
"She used to be a nun."
"But she was expelled."
"She had nowhere to go, so I took her in."
"An expelled nun?"
Hearing that, both Rias and Akeno relaxed.
"I-I'm Asia Argento."
"Nice to meet you."
Asia introduced herself nervously.
She was clearly very tense.
When Rias heard her full name, something felt familiar.
It seemed like she had heard that name somewhere before.
"Hello."
"I'm Rias Gremory."
"A third-year student at Kuoh Academy."
"And the president of the Occult Research Club."
"I'm Akeno Himejima."
"Also a third-year student."
"Koneko Toujou."
"First-year."
"N-nice to meet you…"
Asia was extremely nervous hearing their introductions.
But seeing her timid appearance caused Rias and Akeno's guard to drop even further.
In fact—
They both started to like the shy girl.
Akeno smiled teasingly.
"Oh my."
"That's quite enviable."
"Qin Xiao, you went out and just picked up such a cute little nun."
Her tone sounded joking—
But there was a faint hint of jealousy hidden behind it.
"I-I'm sorry!"
"It's my fault for causing trouble!"
Asia immediately bowed and apologized.
She genuinely blamed herself.
"Asia, I was just joking."
"Don't take it seriously."
"You're not angry, Miss Akeno?"
"Just call me Akeno."
"How could I be angry?"
"A cute girl like you—I'd like you too much to get angry."
"L-like…?"
Asia's face instantly turned red.
The three of them quickly realized something.
Asia was extremely shy.
Just a few compliments were enough to make her completely flustered.
While Akeno chatted with Asia—
Rias quietly moved closer to Qin Xiao.
"Hey."
"Where did you abduct this little girl from?"
"Seriously."
"She asked me where the church was."
"I told her it was destroyed."
"She had nowhere to go."
"So I brought her home."
"That simple?"
Rias looked suspicious.
Since when were girls so easy to trick?
"It really is that simple."
"What else could it be?"
Rias stared at him for a moment.
"Are you really planning to keep her here?"
Qin Xiao sighed.
"Didn't you notice?"
"She has a Sacred Gear."
Rias' eyes widened.
"A Sacred Gear?"
"What kind?"
"Healing-type Sacred Gear."
"Smile of the Virgin."
"WHAT?!"
Rias' eyes immediately began shining.
Healing Sacred Gear users were extremely rare.
Many High-Class Devils would desperately want such a servant.
In a Rating Game, a healer could completely change the battle outcome.
"Hey."
"Calm down."
"You're drooling."
Qin Xiao couldn't help reminding her.
Rias coughed awkwardly.
"I got a little excited."
But then something suddenly occurred to her.
"Wait."
"The Smile of the Virgin…"
"Wasn't that the Sacred Gear of a saint from the Church?"
"Correct."
"Asia used to be that saint."
"Or rather—former saint."
"She was expelled."
"Now she has nowhere to go."
"Why?"
"That's a healing Sacred Gear."
"Why would the Church abandon her?"
"Because her healing works on devils."
"So they labeled her a heretic."
"And expelled her."
"..."
Now Rias understood.
The Church used Holy Power, a derivative of angelic light.
And holy power was normally poison to devils.
Yet Asia could heal devils.
From the Church's perspective—
That definitely looked like heresy.
Rias didn't care about the complicated Church politics.
Right now she only had one thought.
This was a perfect recruit delivered right to her doorstep.
Meanwhile, under Akeno's gentle big-sister aura, Asia gradually relaxed.
Her affection for Akeno quickly grew.
After being expelled from the Church—
Akeno was only the second person to treat her so kindly.
Then Rias suddenly stepped forward.
"Asia."
"Would you like to become my servant?"
"If you do, we'll become family."
"Companions."
"Eh?"
"Servant?"
"Yes."
"I remember servants belong to devils… right?"
"That's correct."
Akeno smiled sweetly.
"Because…"
"We are devils."
In the next moment—
Whoosh.
Three pairs of devil wings appeared behind them.
Asia's smile froze.
Her brain stopped working.
She had just realized something.
She had entered—
A devil's home.
